Pumpkin?
Anne Chung will be your mentor from now on.
Your mother and I decided this change would be best for you.
Casey, this is Carolyn.
She'll be your mentor from now on.
Tell her what your events are.
Do you know soccer?
Game, Kent Woodlands.
Woodlands' lead, 6-2, 4-1, second set.
15-love.
30-love.
Yeah!
40-love.
Isn't Kent amazing?
Look at those Tri Omegas drool over him.
Julie, aren't you going to have to take Carolyn out of Coventry?
I mean, the formal's coming up, and Kent's not going to go without her.
You can't forget they were voted King and Queen.
I don't know what we're gonna do, Julie.
I mean, it never hurts to have the top school athlete at your formal.
It sure would score points with the Greek Council for the SOY.
You know what?
For the sake of AO Pi, maybe Jeanine should go sound her out.
I got permission to see how you felt about things.
The girls and I were talking about the formal...
...and how you and Kent, you know...
...what a cute couple you two make.
What have they done to you, Jeanine?
You sound just like them.
I was so unhappy, Carolyn.
Julie suggested a therapist and he put me on medication.
And you have no idea how much it helps.
You used to be such a rebel...
...but now you're like a Stepford wife.
40-15.
She left.
She left in the middle of a point.
Game, set, match.
Todd Ridgeway, Arizona State.
Thank God you're finally done. I need to talk to you.
Do you realize what you just did to me?
What?
You fucking walked out in the middle of a fucking point...
...and destroyed my fucking concentration.
Because of you...
...I lost the match.
We lost the meet to Arizona State.
Lost our number-one ranking.
And I lost the respect of my team.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
You're fucking sorry?
Goddamn it!
All right.
You better fucking make me understand why it was so important for you...
...to walk out in the middle of my fucking point.
It was about you, Kent.
There I was up in the stands...
...and I realized that we're going in different directions.
My God, Carolyn.
What's happened to you?
I don't know.
You don't know?
That's no answer.
Ever since you started working with that...
...fucking retard...
- You're in love with him, aren't you? - No.
Admit it, you're in love with him.
No. That's not why I'm here.
I can see you wheeling him down the aisle.
That's it, you're in love with him.
- No. - Yes.
- Yes, you are. - No.
Yes!
Yes. It's true.
It's not a fantasy.
He understands me.
I'm in love with him.
You are?
That's impossible.
I'm leaving you, Kent.
Carolyn.
Can I come in?
Hold me, Pumpkin.
- Hello. - Hi, Betsy Collander here.
I didn't wake you, did I?
No, no, no.
I've been up for hours, working.
I've arranged for Pumpkin to star in our Public Service Announcement...
...for this year's Challenged Games.
Claudia has forced Hansie on us every year.
But this year the director says he refuses to work with him.
He says Hansie's too difficult.
What a coup.
Thank you, Betsy, thank you.
Pumpkin, I've great news for us!
You've raped my son.
You whore. Slut!
You prostitute!
Pedophile!
Pumpkin will never understand what you've done to him!
I'm gonna call your sorority...
...the Dean and the President of the University!
And your parents!
You will never see Pumpkin again!
You poor, poor dear.
Did they throw you out?
There, there, darling, I understand.
You couldn't face them.
Did he rape you?
It was consensual.
It's just a phase, darling.
Just a horrible phase.
Let's get you inside where no one can see you.
Father?
- Hello. - Mrs. Romanoff?
- Yes? - This is Carolyn McDuffy.
I need to speak to Pumpkin.
Mrs. Romanoff. Please.
We feel for you, man.
I've heard about guys losing their chicks...
...to black guys...
...or even to lesbians.
But to a retard?
Your manhood must really be hurting.
Hey, man, no offense intended.
The chicks still love you, Kent. You could have anyone.
Ball!
Game, set, match.
Kent Woodlands, SCSU.
I'm a free man.
My God.
That was amazing.
How could Carolyn even think about...
I mean...
...the little retarded boy must be like some kind of superman.
I want Carolyn.
Kent Woodlands...
...how could you want Carolyn after what she did to us?
She has made us pariahs on Sorority Row.
She has not only disgraced this house...
...made us ashamed to show our faces...
...she has jeopardized our chances of winning Sorority of the Year.
We need you at our formal to have any chance at SOY.
The Greek Council adores you, Kent.
If you don't look down on us...
...no one else will.
Please...
...let me fix you up with one of the girls.
Courtney, Gina...
...even Anne Chung.
I want Carolyn.
She's the only one.
Sweetie?
Are you all right?
I'm sorry to bother you, sweetie, but you have some guests arriving soon.
What? Who?
It's nothing to worry about, dear.
Some really nice people are coming over.
Mama?
There, there.
I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
But he's just so sweet...
...so pure.
He understands what's good in me.
No one else does.
And, Mama, when he touches me...
...he's so gentle...
...so tender.
There, there.
In time, this will heal.
We just have to forget this ever happened.
I know.
Mom, I know.
Don't be afraid, dear.
We were wrong to turn our backs on you.
That is not what AO Pi is all about.
Can you hear me?
Mr. Wohlfert...
...has gotten the university to promise that there will be no repercussions from...
...what you did.
There will be no repercussions from...
...what you did.
This is Jeanine, your roomie.
I think what the girls are trying to say is that you can trust us.
No one's perfect. You know that, I know that.
We're here for you now.
Why are you all smiling?
Kent, talk to her.
I want you back...
...in the worst way.
I want you to come back to school...
...and move back in with the sorority.
Be my girl, again, and...
And go to our formal with your own Kent Woodlands.
You and Kent are still slated to be King and Queen...
...and to dance the first dance.
You have always been AO Pi's best sister.
Please say you'll come back to the house and go to the dance with Kent.
Please?
It's such a long commute from Pasadena to SCSU.
I love you, Carolyn.
Now, let's pack your things and move you back.
What do you say?
You're the Queen, Carolyn.
And you're going to have a wonderful time at the dance with Kent.
Just to let you know, it cost me $1,400 to fix the car...
...on top of all this.
I'm not retarded.
Okay, you're not retarded.
That's a bad word.
You're just special.
But I can assure you, we had you tested.
Extensively tested.
I'm not special...
...and I'm not retarded.
Darling.
Now you come on down and get some sleep.
Come on down, give your mama a kiss, come on.
Hell, Pumpkin, I wish you could drive...
...go to Harvard...
...go out with that bitch Carolyn.
But it's just not in the cards.
This is the best formal the Greek Council has been to for years.
Did you see how many giant prawns they ate?
Any minute now, Carolyn and Kent will make an appearance...
...the dance can begin...
...and then we're back on the road to SOY.
Thank God you got them back together.
Are you all right?
I'm fine, Kent. I'm fine.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Ready?
Ladies and gentlemen, the King and Queen of the formal...
...from Kappa Lambda Sigma...
...Mr. Kent Archibald Woodlands...
...and from the AO Pi House, Miss Carolyn McDuffy.
The first dance.
There is something wrong, isn't there?
It's just, I threw something in the wastebasket I shouldn't have.
I'm sorry.
This isn't working, you and I.
Why?
Because of him.
My God.
We took a cab.
It was easy.
I came to dance with you.
Goddamn, fucking...
...dimwitted retard!
I am going to obliterate you.
No, Kent, he can't defend himself.
You can't do that. He doesn't understand.
If he's man enough to take my girl, then he's man enough to fight me.
Come on, boy, let's do it!
Outside.
Stop!
Get off me!
I didn't mean to hurt him.
It must've been all the training.
I think they want us to leave.
He's right.
You two better go. You've caused enough damage already.
No.
I am a sister of AO Pi.
And Pumpkin Romanoff is my guest.
If it hadn't been for you sanctimonious hypocrites...
...he would've been my date tonight.
Pumpkin and I are going inside to dance.
No!
Why?
You two are not an appropriate couple.
I'm sorry.
Pumpkin's not going to sit in the back of the bus anymore.
God, no!
Hello.
Look what you've done to me, Carolyn.
They say I'll never play tournament tennis again.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I may not even walk...
...because of you.
You will, I know you will.
Now I'm just like him.
I'm to blame.
I'm to blame for everything.
I've caused everyone a great deal of grief.
You were all right.
What I did with Pumpkin was against nature.
And now everyone's suffering because of it.
I ruined rush.
I ruined our charity.
I ruined the formal.
Kent is probably injured beyond repair.
And AO Pi is runner-up again.
I'm sorry.
I'm leaving the sorority.
I'm quitting SCSU.
I'm transferring to a community college.
But you're a senior.
You can't transfer to community college. You have too many units.
Then I'm transferring to Long Beach Tech.
Long Beach Tech?
My God.
We're having lamb chops.
Medium rare, your favorite.
Would you like to join us for your last dinner?
No, thank you.
I have to get my life straight.
I have to leave the lamb chops...
...the sisters, Kent...
...and Pumpkin, whose trust I betrayed.
Goodbye, everyone.
Where are you going?
I'm leaving school.
I'm transferring to Long Beach Tech.
Life isn't handed to people there.
Carolyn, you've become my best student.
Not hardly.
I couldn't even finish my poem.
I'm very sorry, Pumpkin.
But Carolyn's gone away...
...from all of us.
From you, too, Pumpkin.
You have a room for rent?
On a sadder note...
...SCSU will enter the National College Tennis Championships...
...without their star, Kent Woodlands...
...who was tragically injured in a car accident.
Investigation is pending...
...as to the cause of this untimely catastrophe.
We can only hope and wish for the best.
Kent, you have a visitor.
I don't wanna see anyone.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...please help me in welcoming our challenged athletes.
Remember to work as a team.
Don't be afraid to be hard-nosed.
We're gonna beat Orange County.
Beat Orange County!
By the power vested in me, once again...
...as President of the State of California Challenged Games...
...let the games begin!
My son, Hansie.
What are you working on, Carolyn?
Nothing.
A poem.
You know, you're such a mystery.
You don't tell us where you come from...
...you just pop in out of the blue.
I'm from a very, very bad place, Sascha.
I tried to change it and change myself, but...
That's what I'm working on.
A poem about giving in to the world.
Come on, let's hear it.
"I once had a dream that I could change pumpkins into coaches
"But the world said no
"And sent me packing to the sea
"Now pumpkins remain pumpkins...
"Mice remain mice
"And I am only me"
I can't seem to get it right.
Maybe the problem is, Carolyn...
...you don't wanna give in to the world.
Ready for the relay?
No.
I want Carolyn.
Listen to me.
No matter where Carolyn is...
...you're still her champion.
Now, you owe it to yourself...
...to finish what you two started.
Take your marks.
Set...
Go, baby, go!
Did you see me?
Did you see me run?
He's a true champion...
...like Carl Lewis...
...in all ways.
I'm so proud of you.
You have a wonderful son.
I've always admired you, Kent.
But I had no idea you could be such a caring, good person.
I'll never forget what you've done.
I know a better man when I see one.
He's all yours.
Should I call you Jesse from now on? I mean, that is your real name.
No. Pumpkin will work just fine.
Pumpkin, when you asked me about the moon...
...did you mean it literally or metaphorically?
What?
