"Ch.1: Making New Friends and Enemies" Script

Jimmy: So here I am at probably the worst school in the county who's alumni are nothing but arms dealers, serial killers, and corporate lawyers. Real scum. And that old creep thinks he can tame me? We shall see, my friend. I only give people what they have coming to them.

Chapter 1

"Making New Friends and Enemies"

Ms. Danvers: Where's your uniform, young Hopkins? Run along now, child.

---

Wade: Guess what time it is. Yep! Time for a beat-down!

Ethan: Get the new kid! Beat him down!

---

Jimmy: [Laughing]

Russell: You're dead, new kid! Dead!

Mr. Hattrick: Hey, you! Break it up!
That's enough of that! Break it up! Why are you not in your uniform, young man? Go change immediately.

Jimmy: Aw, come on.

---

Gary: Hey, you're the new kid.

Jimmy: Yeah, what's it to you?

Gary: Friendly, arn't ya?

Jimmy: Give me a break, loser.

Gary: Hey relax, friend, you're all pent up. Go easy or they put you on medication. They did to me. Boy, it nearly sent me insane.

Jimmy: That's fascinating. Now if you'll excuse--

Gary: I said, 'relax', friend.

Jimmy: Get off, man!

Gary: Listen to me, tough guy, you just arrived at the toughest school in the country and I'm offering to be you're friend. Trust me. In a place like this you're gonna need friends. So it's up to you. You gonna play nice, or what?

Jimmy: Yeah, sure.

Gary: Good. So how 'bout I show you around?

Pete: Hey, how ya doin'? You must be the new kid. I'm Pete. Pete Kowalski.

Jimmy: Jimmy Hopkins, and don't ask how I'm doin'. I've been here five minutes and already people want me dead. Even my parents didn't hate me this quickly.

Pete: Well, welcome to Bullworth. It's a dump.

Jimmy: Great. I've been expelled from anywhere halfway decent.

Gary: 'Yeah, I've been expelled from anywhere halfway decent 'cause I'm really bad.' Give up the tough-guy act, pal.

Jimmy: Hey, man, what's your problem?

Gary: Well, ADD primarily. But also life, my parents, this school, western civilization, but really, honestly, enough about me-- Oh, I see you've met the Dorm's mascot. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Femme-Boy, the girliest boy in school. Petey, haven't you got some imaginary friends to go annoy?

Pete: Why don't you leave me alone, Gary.

Gary: Ha. Look at you. 'Leave me alone, Gary. I'm really self-important now that I've finally hit puberty.' What's your problem? I'm just being nice to the new kid as he passes through Bullworth on his inevitable journey to prison.

Jimmy: Look, I gotta unpack. Would you guys mind getting outta here?

Gary: Oh, now look what you've done, Pete. Jimmy can't stand you already.

Gary: Feeding time at the zoo. Okay, here's the deal: Over there we got the Nerds. Of course they're complete social outcasts.

Jimmy: They look pretty harmless.

Gary: They're actually sneaky bastards. Their turf is the Library.
And those are the Preps. They're all money and condescending attitudes.

Jimmy: Yeah, massively inbred and completely brainless.

Gary: Very observant, Jimmy-boy.
Now over there are the Greasers. They think they're tough.

Jimmy: Or at least try to look tough.

Gary: Wouldn't advise messing with them. At least not yet. They hang by the Auto Shop.
And last but not least, the Jocks. These guys rule the school. Definitely avoid them.

Jimmy: Whatever, I'm not afraid of some dumb 'roid monkeys.

Gary: You'll learn.

[Bell rings]

Gary: Come on, let's go.

Edward Seymour II: You're here to learn, not to goof off. Get to class.
