(TIFFANI SETTLES HER HEAD BACK ON JAKE) TIFFANI: "Yeah." JAKE: "What do you mean, "yeah?" If we're not playing, I'm not going." TIFFANI: "Excuse me?!" JAKE: "Proms are stupid. They just make people get all hung up on what they look like and who they're with." TIFFANI: "They don't have to be that way. They can be a beautiful night you spend with people you love." GLENN: "May I offer a solution to your problem." JAKE: "There's no problem." TIFFANI: "You better believe there is, bucko!" JAKE: "(QUICKLY) What'd you have in mind, Glenn?" GLENN: "I'll take Tiffani to the prom." JAKE: "No way. I'm not letting another guy take my girlfriend on a date." GLENN: "But this is perfect. I've been trying to find a good way to thank Tiffani. Do it for me I'd consider it a favor." TIFFANI: "I don't know, Glenn." GLENN: "I'll make you a deal. My dad owns a resort on Catalina.

TONY: "Yeah, it's not that simple, Wimple. Don't you think I'd love to hang out at a summer resort with all those perfectly-tanned-bikini- babes coming up to me saying, "Ooh, you're the drummer, aren't you? I think you're sooo cute..." (HE STOPS, THEN, TO JAKE) "Why isn't it that simple, man?" MATT: "Because we shouldn't have to get a gig by selling Tiffani like some piece of meat." SLY: "Yeah, I see what you mean... Maybe he'd take Sam." SAM: "You think?!" (MATT, TONY, SLY, AND SAM GET EXCITED) TIFFANI: "Would you stop?!! Jake and I only told you because you're our friends and we hoped you could help us " (GANG IS CONTRITE) SAM: "Can't you compromise? Spend half the night at the prom.
