FREAKS AND GEEKS 2.1-THE HOMECOMING
FADE IN:
INT. LINDSAYS ROOM - NIGHT
Lindsay is sitting next to the bed, boucing a ball agaist
the wall while reading some kind of math book. She looks
angry and frustrated.
HOWARD (OS)
You know what they do Jean? They
take LSD!It stays in your body for
years, that stuff goes straight to
your spine!
JEANE (OS)
(doubtful)
Oh..Linsday wouldn't do that!
CUT TO
INT. WEIR KITCHEN - NIGHT
Jeane is sitting at the kitchen table looking up at Howard,
who is pacing back and forth, ranting and raving
HOWARD
She didn't do a lot of things
before, Jean! She didn't hang out
with those burnout friends of
hers, she didn't lie to us! She
lied to us, Jeane!
(gasps, turning to
face her)
What if shes pregnent?
JEANE
(puzzled)
I really don't think so!
HOWARD
Jeane, wake up. She ditched this
acidemdic summit to go follow a
rock and roll band with a bunch of
hippies!
HOWARD
I'll tell ya what we'll do-
JEANE
(standing up)
She isn't pregnet. We can't
confine her to her room forever.
School is starting soon Howard, we
need to decide what to do
INT. LINDSAYS ROOM - NIGHT
HOWARD (OS)
Military school!
Lindsay looks horrifed at hearing this and angerly throws
the ball at her nightstand knocking over a lamp. As she
stands up to put the lamp back, she sees someone at the
window and freezes. Kim Kelly is standing there gesturing
for Lindsay to come to the window. She is with a plain jane
type hippie girl. Lindsay grits her teeth.
LINDSAY
(wispering)
Kim GO AWAY!
KIM
(moving closer so
she is right at
the window, and
waving)
Lindsay! I found Rain! Isn't it
cool?
Rain waves. She is holding a goldfish in a plastic baggie
and holds it up to lindsay as Kim points to it.
LINDSAY
(shaking head
violently and
crossing the room
to the window and
opening it)
Kim, no- my parents
KIM
I thought you don't care about
that anymore??
LINDSAY
(looking behind
her at the door,
starting to panic)
Well
(frustrated)
I'm home now, it's different now,
(MORE)
LINDSAY (cont'd)
I don't know
KIM
(pissed)
Whatever. You're going to go back
to being lame now?
(crosses her arms)
LINDSAY
No! I'm not lame!
(looks behind her
at the door again)
Rain starts to giggle for no reason
LINDSAY
(looks behind her
again)
You gotta go Kim!
KIM
Fine
(She turns around
and walks away)
Rain follows Kim as Lindsay shuts the window. Lindsay puts
her hand up to semi wave
HOWARD (OS)
Lindsay?
Lindsay spins around to face the door and fakes a smile as
the door opens. Her dad is standing there looking stern
LINDSAY
(walking towards
him)
Dad. Hey
Dad looks around the room, expecting to see something shady.
His eyes land on the open math book.
HOWARD
Studying?
LINDSAY
(sitting down on
the floor and
picking up the
book)
Yeah, I guess
4.
HOWARD
School doesn't start for a few
days?
LINDSAY
Well yeah, but I know what book
I'll be using this year. I know
I'm not sopposed to leave the
house but I went to the library
yesterday afternoon.
Dad raises his eyebrows
LINDSAY
(rushing now,
trying to sound
ethusistic)
I just thought I would get a head
start, you know, on my studies.
College applications are in a few
months.
HOWARD
(pausing)
Well, um- okay that sounds good
(hardening)
But major changes are going to
have to be made this year. You are
going to have to earn our trust
all over again
LINDSAY
(Looking down at
book)
OK dad, I understand
Dad stares at her for a few seconds and then shuts the door.
Lindsay continues looking at the book for a beat and then
exhales and lays her head back on the bed as if she was
holding something back the whole time.

"Don't you dare take him to see
that dirty movie!"
Sam hands fruit roll ups to Neil and Bill
BILL
My mom says, that everyone is
naked in Porkys
NEIL
Thats exactly WHY we have to see

SAM
(long pause)
We could go see The Warth of Khan

NEIL
(In Shatner
impression)
"I haven't faced death. I've
cheated death. I've tricked my way
out of death and patted myself on
the back for my ingenuity. I know
nothing."
they all laugh
SAM
"You proceed from a false
assumption. I am a Vulcan. I have
no ego to bruise."
They are all laughing, Bill with food in his mouth, Sam
throws his uneaten fruit roll up at Neil who ducks and it
hits Bill square in the head.

Whatever, I'm over that
As he says this, a girl walks out of the house
KEN

Oh great
She walks towards them. She is a little older, like 19-20,
long curly hair, huge boobs, wearing a low cut shirt and
tight jeans. almost as tall as Daniel. She looks irritated

CARLA
Fine! You don't care? I just go

DANIEL
(Grabs her arm and
pulls her in)
Wait!
Carla struggles a little pulling away as Daniel pulls her in
CARLA
(gives in and
wraps her arms
around Daniel)

Seriously man? No school?
DANIEL

KEN (OS)

You hear a car start. Nick stares at Daniel and Carla for a
moment and then runs to the car. Daniel sits on the hood of
his car, carla moves bt his knees as lights a cig and Ken's
car peels off.

INT. SCHOOL - DAY
Bill, Sam, and Niel are all walking down the hallway
talking. Cindy Sanders is talking to the cheerleaders, they
are all in uniform.
NEIL
(leaning in and
wispering)
I wonder if Cindy will talk to you
Sam?
SAM
(looking scared to
approach her)
I don't know, she was pretty
angry, maybe I made a mistake...
NEIL
Did you ever think you would break
up with a cheerleader- YOU?
BILL
Yeah Sam she is cute, but she
thought "The Jerk" was stupid
NEIL
What kind of person thinks that?
They are almost at where Cindy is standing talking, they all
slows down and Cindy turns to face them
CINDY
Hi Sam!
SAM
(walks up to talk
to her, unsure)
Hi Cindy
CINDY

CINDY
It was OK. I had to go to
cheerleading camp.

SAM
Cheer leading camp?
CINDY
It's not fun, they make you cheer

SAM
Eight hours?
(laughs)
CINDY

SAM
(a littel
surprised)

CINDY

The schoolbell rings. Neil and Bill take off as well as
Cindy's friends.
SAM
I should- I should go
CINDY
Yeah- yes, bye!
Cindy runs away and Sam is left in an empty hallway. Kim
Kelly rounds the corner with Rain and spots Sam standing
there. He looks starteled
KIM
(agressivly)
Hey! Lindsays brother- Get to

pushes him)
He shakes her off

KIM
(surpised)

NICK
Well we thought maybe you could

KIM
(laughing)

Mr. Tychoski rounds the corner and stalkes towards them
TOWSHSKY

about, but it was funny, the
performances were great
GORDEN
I saw it too, my dad took me
SAM
Its not fair!
GORDEN
Say Harris, is Mike Hunt here?
18.
Sam, Neil, and Bill look confused
HARRIS
(laughs)
Mike Hunt? Has anyone seen Mike
Hunt?
They both laugh for a few more seconds
BILL
Who is Mike Hunt? Does he go to
this school?
Harris and Gorden start laughing all over again
SAM
I think he is in my math class...
NEIL
I'm in your math class, we don't
have a Mike Hunt.
Harris and Gorden laughs reach a high again
SAM
(exsasperted)
What? Why are you guys laughing?
He looks around. A bunch of jocks are standing near a table
laughing, one guy is re-inacting a scene from the movie
HARRIS
(calming down now)
It's from the movie
Neil looks back from across the room at the jocks and slams
his fist on the table so everyone is startled. All laughter
stops
NEIL
We are going to see that movie.
Tomorrow. After school. I haven't
figured out a plan yet, but I
will.
(he leans in)
OK?
SAM
But how are we going to get in,
we're 15?
19.
NEIL
I just said I will think of
something. I always do.
BILL
Not something that works

SAM
Agreed
LINDSAY IN SITTING
BY HERSELF A FEW
TABLE AWAY
Millie walks up to her table and sits down
MILLE
Hey Lindsay
LINDSAY
Oh hey Millie
MILLE
Are you ok?
LINDSAY
Yeah I'm fine
MILLE
My mom told me what happend
LINDSAY
What?
20.
MILLE
(lowering her
voice)
How you ditched the program at U
of M to go watch that band.
LINDSAY
(looking down)
Oh.
MILLE
Some people are saying...
(she stops)
LINDSAY
(looks up suddenly)
What? what are they saying
MILLE
They are saying your are
(wispers something
so quiet it's
unaudioable)
LINDSAY
What?
MILLE
(again speaks to
quietly)
LINDSAY
(kind of laughing
now)
Mille, I can't hear you
MILLE
(Loud now)
Are you having a baby?
Sevreal people at the table nearby hear and stare and
Lindsay grabs Milles arm and then lean into the table
together
LINDSAY
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Millie!!!
MILLE
(eyes wide with
fear)
Are you?
21.
LINDSAY
(unable to supress
a laugh now)
No Mille, I'm not pregnet
MILLE
(leans back,
relaved)
oh
LINDSAY
God, Millie who do you think I
am? I just went to a couple of
concerts. Why is everyone making
this such a big deal?
MILLE
(curious)
Well, what did you do there?
LINDSAY
(wistful)
It was so great. We listened to
the music, met so many people
(getting excited)
Kim and I hung out with this one
girl who had been to South America
and spent a night in the rain
forest!
Millie nods
LINDSAY
It really wasn't about drugs or
guys. They were there but it
wasn't really about any of that,
you know?
MILLE
What was it about?
LINDSAY
I was an adult. There were no
rules. We did whatever we wanted.
Millie nods again
LINDSAY
I realized- Maybe I don't want to
go to college. Maybe I want to
help people in a 3rd world
countries, maybe I want to take
dance classes or go to Europe!
22.
MILLE
My church sends missions to Africa
LINDSAY
(raising her voice)
EXACTLY!
MILLE
Thats what you want to do?
LINDSAY
Yes! I mean no. What I mean is-
why do my parents and teachers
think everyone must have perfect
grades and never drink or smoke?
Just bc I don't go to the math
program or I'm friends with Kim
Kelly doesn't mean my life will
turn out to be a disaster!
ROSSO (OS)
There she is!
Lindsay looks up and the exicted look drops off her face.
Mr. Rosso is standing in front of her
ROSSO
Hi Lindsay Hi Millie
MILLE
Hi Mr. Rosso
ROSSO
Mille do you mind if I steal
lindsay?
INT. ROSSOS OFFICE - DAY
rosso shuts the door to his office as lindsay sits down.
Rosso crosses the room and sits down on his desk
LINDSAY
I know what you are going to say
mr. Rosso
ROSSO
You do?
LINDSAY
You are going to ask me why I
threw my life away by not going to
the math program this summer.
(getting emotional)
(MORE)
23.
LINDSAY (cont'd)
You are going to ask me why I'm
runing my chances of getting into
a good college, tell me I should
re-join the mathletes, be a goody
two shoes mrs. perfect again.
(angry now)
Well thats not me. Does anyone
maybe think I don't WANT those
things???
ROSSO
Lindsay...
LINDSAY
I want to do good in school, I'm
still going to get all A's like I
always do- but why do
ROSSO
Lindsay
LINDSAY
(almost hysterial)
What?????
ROSSO
I want you to talk to Daniel
Desiro
LINDSAY
(offended and
confused)
What?
ROSSO
He dropped out of McKinley
LINDSAY
(in shock)
dropped out?
ROSSO
(getting off his
desk and walking
around to the
seat behind it)
Yes. He isn't coming back.
Lindsay is still speachless as Rosso sits down
24.
ROSSO
He only has 10 credits left- thats
4 classes. He just has to pass
four classes and then he can
graduate.
LINDSAY
Why do you think I can help
ROSSO
Because you are Daniel's friend.
He is your pal, your buddy,
amigio. And I know you care about
him. You can help Lindsay I know
you can.
LINDSAY
Mr. Rosso I haven't seen Daniel
since school ended last summer.
ROSSO
Then pay him a visit.
(leaning forward)
Lindsay. Both you and I know
Daniel is not dumb. But walking
away from a highschool degree ten
credits short is not very smart.
He will listen to you. He trusts
you. I know it Linsday. You have a
chance to make a difference in
someones life!
LINDSAY
(still not seeing
how she can help)
But-
ROSSO
Hey. It's just a suggestion. I
can't make you do it, it's not
required by "the school".
(makes air quotes)
the phone rings
ROSSO
Excuse me Lindsay
Mr. Rosso picks up the phone and starts talking. Lindsay
looks deep in thought
25.

SAM
Oh no- I was just walking by and

Stacey again)
Me?
VICKI
Yes you!
CINDY
I told her what a sweet nice guy
you are and how you like those
movies and star wars and what that
other game you guys play? with the
dragons?
SAM
(horrifed)
Cindy? You told her all of that?
Now she is going to think I'm a
geek!
CINDY
No Sam, it made her like you more,
she said she likes "geeks"
He looks over at Stacey again, this time she waves, and he
kind of half raises his hand
VICKI
(giggling)
Do you like her?
SAM
(uncomfortable)
I don't know, I don't know her
CINDY
Well you guys could go on a date.
Or we could all hang out in a
group.

28.
NEIL

LINDSAY
I can't. I don't know if my
parents are ever going to forgive
me.
KIM
Lindsay, remember when those cute
twins wanted to make out and I
forgot which guy was mine and
kissed yours?
Lindsay laughs
KIM
See? We had the most amazing time.
And I know I can be a drag and
all, but I need you around.
(looking down and
kicking the
ground)
pretty soon Daniel will show up
and I don't know what will happen
LINDSAY
Kim, I'm sorry, you gotta
understand, I have to go home and
study. I can't goof off and waste
time like this anymore. I can't
cut class or just hang out...
KIM
(annoyed but
kidding)
Are you breaking up with us?
LINDSAY
(rushing)
No! Kim thats not it-My parents
think I am throwing my life away.
(MORE)
30.
LINDSAY (cont'd)
I made too many mistakes, and bad
decisions. I should have gone to U
of M.
KIM
(pissed)
really? I was kidding. Thats why
you have been MIA all week? You
aren't hanging out anymore?
LINDSAY
I just can't right now
KIM
(backing away)
I can't belive you are doing this!
LINDSAY
(despreate)
I just need to focus on my school
work, not get into trouble
KIM
So thats what we are to you,
trouble?
They look at each other. Lindsay wants to refute what Kim
said, but she can't.
KIM
(more hurt then
mad now)
Wow. Okay. Well have fun sitting
all alone in your pedistal miss
goody two shoes
(turns around and
looks over her
shoulder)

LINDSAY

31.
NEIL
(using a fake
older mans voice)
Yes, I would like to buy movie
tickets but I can't walk so I am
going to have my son pick them up
for me-
Sam looks up and shakes his head
BILL
(quietly to Niel)
This is stupid
NEIL
(waves them off)
Yes, but it isn't safe to ride in
my wheelchair at night, I don't
have any reflective devices on the
chair and
(pauses listening,
getting mad)
Fine! Since when does a
handicapped man not have the right
to see an R rated movie! What kind
of country is this?
(pauses listening
then hang up)
Ok that isn't going to work
SAM
(putting comic
down)
none of it is going to work! We
can't dress up as girls, or claim
to be blind-
BILL
A blind person can't SEE the movie
Niel
NEIL
that the whole point! We can't
even SEE the naked ladies so it
really isn't rated R for the blind
(looking at the
phone book and
starting to dial
another number.
Talking in the
same voice again)
Yes,
(coughing and
talking in a weak
(MORE)
32.
NEIL (cont'd)
voice)
I'm a terminal cancer pacient at
Sinai hospital and I had a
question for you
Neil continues talking
BILL
Gorden's dad is so cool, he took
him to the movies
SAM
My dad would never take me- he
thinks Dallas is to racey
BILL
Dallas rules. Hey aren't your
sisters friends older? Can't they
take us?
SAM
(uncomfortable)
Yeah. But they are all freaks. And
I don't think they are friends
anymore. Lindsay doesn't really
talk to anyone. Since she got
back a few weeks ago anyways.
NEIL
(hangs up phone)
Well, on to plan B
SAM
Whats plan B?
NEIL
Ok-
(other boys lean
in)
This is what my brother told me he
used to do. Just ask someone
outside to buy us the tickets.
Then we just walk in. No big deal.
BILL
like sneak in?
NEIL
no, we aren't sneaking in. We will
have tickets
Niel nods in excitement but Sam and Bill look nervous
33.

She looks side ways at him in the silence
LINDSAY

DANIEL
(not looking at
her)
Nope
LINDSAY

DANIEL
Yep
LINDSAY
You are ten credits short of
gradutation Daniel. You can do it,

DANIEL
(looking at her)
Lindsay I'm not like you. I can't

(looks away)
LINDSAY
(surpised)
Ha. Daniel, I am NOT who you think

DANIEL
(looking at her
again)
You are exactly who I think you

make a few hundered bucks. I can
help pay for my dads medication,
buy grocries, maybe move out and
get my own place...
LINDSAY
Is it illegal?
DANIEL
What? What Juan is doing?
(brushes it off)
no way!
He takes another sip of beer
DANIEL
Just don't tell Kim about Carla
ok, she will flip out. And Carla's
crazy man
(he smiles)
She could really do Kim some
damage
Lindsay looks at her watch.

He reverses down the street
LINDSAY STANDING AT

didn't say anything.
MILLE
(shakes head)
It doesn't matter, it wasn't

LINDSAY
(getting worked up
again)
Do you want me to go tell them I

Lindsay goes back to her book and studies for a few moments.
Goes to the bookcase to grab a book. On her nightstand is a
candid pic of all the main freaks. Linsday smiles at it, and
then brings the book back to the floor and opens it, but
glaces back at the photo again. She sighs and puts her head
down on the pile of books.

What do you want? I thought you

LINDSAY

KIM
Forget it! I'm sick of all your

bad person, why did you hang out
with me in the first place?
LINDSAY
(sighs and leans
agaist the sink)
I'm not juding
54.
KIM
(looking at her)
Yes you are. I didn't FORCE you to
come with me this summer! You
wanted to go, remember?
LINDSAY
And I'm so glad I went
KIM
(annoyed)
What?
LINDSAY
Kim, I had so much fun with you. I
know we are different, and I care
about school and you care about
you know, other things, but your
my best friend
Kim freezes, she doesn't know what to do, she gets
uncomfortbale and starts playing with her hair
KIM
Shut up Linsday- Isn't that Jesus

LINDSAY
(pissed and
raising her voice)
Kim! You know, I'm such a good
friend to you!
You are mean to me, make fun of me
for being smart. YOU judge me Kim!
Did you ever think about that? I
can't do anything right as far as
you are concerned. And I have
never done anything to you- ever!
Kim stares at her
55.
KIM
(quieter)
You really think I'm your best
friend?
LINDSAY
(still yelling)
Yeah! And a crappy one! I mean
what about me? Why can't I hang
out with everyone AND get good
grades? I don't have to make a
choice. You are as bad as my
parents! You are forcing me to
choose!
They look at each other. Silence. Lindsay turns and walks

Oh crap. I'm an idiot

Um, Ah
