Script

Raisins
South Park Elementary playground, recess or lunch. The camera pans across the playground and settles on two teams of 7 players each. A football lies on the ground between the two groups. The group left of the football consists of Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, Butters, Tolkien, and Clyde. The second includes Craig, Tweek, Kevin, Pip, and 3 others
Stan
All right, you guys, it's first down. I'll hike the ball on the third "set hut!" Kyle and Cartman, go deep post out. Kenny, run a slant down the middle. Butters, be ready for the screen.
Cartman
Right. What are we playing again?
Stan
Football.
Cartman
Got it. [the teams get into position]
Stan
Okay. 23! [Bebe appears behind him and taps him on the shoulder] Blue, 23! Set hut! Set hut! [Bebe taps him on the shoulder again. Stan turns around and looks at her]
Bebe
Wendy breaks up.
Stan
What? [looks let down]
Bebe
Wendy breaks up with you. [turns to walk away. Stan looks on for a few seconds]
Stan
[moves forth to hold her up] Oh, whoa, wait a minute. [Bebe turns around] What did I do wrong? I haven't even talked to Wendy for weeks. [This gets the other boys' attention]
Bebe
She just doesn't wanna be with you anymore. She said she still wants to be friends. [the other boys turn to see what's going on]
Cartman
Whatever, Bebe! Like Stan really cares! Just get out of our football game, you stupid skank!
Bebe
Fuck you, fatass! You guys are assholes!
Butters
Oh yeah? Well, at least we have assholes, you dumb girl!
Cartman
Yeh-heah, right!
Bebe
God, you're so stupid! [turns around and walks away]
Cartman
What a whore! [turns around and goes back to the game. The other boys do the same. Stan is too stunned to move]
Kyle
Yeah! Like Stan gives a crap if Wendy breaks up! [The boys get back into their playing positions. A few moments Kyle looks back] Stan? [Clyde looks back, then Cartman]
Cartman
[turns around] Come on, Stan, it's first down still. [Butters looks back, then Kenny. Stan loses heart and walks off slowly, his head hanging low. The other boys look at each other, unsure what to make of that. A montage begins.]
Stan is next seen walking onto a small red stone bridge. The next scene has him walking down the middle of a two-lane road in the rain. He stops to take in the moist air. The next scene has him back on the bridge, looking over the creek with his head on his right hand. On the water he sees a reflection of Wendy walk up to him. She's smiling. He brightens as she approaches. He turns to greet her, but there's no one to greet. He looks back at the creek, then turns around and walks off. The next scene has him at a rainy night sitting on the curb in a run-down part of town, under a working street light, with his face buried in his arms, crying. The last scene has him in his room, sitting on the floor by his bed, looking at a picture of Wendy. He gently strokes the picture, which has Wendy holding a daisy and smiling broadly. On the picture are written the words "I love you forever. Wendy." The image fades to black
South Park Elementary, day. In the hallway Craig goes to a drinking fountain for a drink of water. Fosse and Dog Poo walk towards the camera. Stan is at the far end watching Wendy open her locker. Stan looks away and walks towards Kyle, who's seated next to his locker reading a book.
Stan
Kyle, will you talk to Wendy for me?
Kyle
[not looking up] Why?
Stan
'Cause I need to know why she broke up.
Kyle
Aw, dude, come on. I gotta do my science homework.
Stan
[pleading] Dude, please. I might still have a chance to make things work. Please, just go talk to her?
Kyle
[puts his book down and sighs] Goddamn it! [walks over to Wendy, but avoids eye contact] Wendy, Stan wants to know why you break up. [Wendy turns around]
Wendy
Look, Stan is really nice. I just don't wanna be boyfriend and girlfriend anymore. I've been wanting to break up for a while. but it's, it's nothing against him.
Kyle
'Kay. [walks back to Stan, but avoids looking at him, as well] She says she's been wanting to break up for a while, and it's nothing against you.
Stan
What? That's no answer! [nudges him a bit] Go tell her to be more direct with me.
Kyle
[goes for his books and picks them up] No, dude. I'm out. Go talk to her yourself. Be poetic. [walks off. Jimmy appears]
Stan
Kyle, this is my life. [points at Jimmy] Jimmy!
Jimmy
Hey, Stan.
Stan
Jimmy, will you go talk to Wendy for me?
Jimmy
For- Forw- Forw-w-w what?
Stan
Just go talk to her an, and be poetic. Tell her she's my Muse-no! Tell her, [thinks] tell her... [gestures] she's a con-tinuing source of inspiration to me.
Jimmy
She's what?
Stan
She's a continuing source of inspiration to me.
Jimmy
...Okay. [walks over to Wendy] Hey uh-Wen, hey wu-Wendy. [she turns around with her books]
Wendy
Yeah?
Jimmy
Stan says you're a cont...[pronouncing as "c***"] you're a- cont- S-Stan says you're a cont- cont-
Wendy
Well, tell Stan to fuck off!! [closes her locker and runs off]
Jimmy
-cont- You're a cont-tinuing source of inspiration to him. [his mission done, he returns to Stan]
Stan
Well?
Jimmy
She just- w-walked away, Stan. You're gonna have to face facts. It's over. [hangs his head for emphasis, then walks off]
Stan
[softly] Over? [walks away dejected. He's next seen in bed, a blanket hung across his window blocking out the outside light. He has his sheets drawn up tight against his chin. A few moments later, Kyle enters with Butters, Cartman, Jimmy and Kenny. Kyle studies his friend.] Jesus...
Butters
We came over to cheer you up, Stan!
Stan
[softly, creaking] ...Go away.
Kyle
Stan, you can't keep doing this to yourself. You have to go live.
Stan
Why? What's the point of living when the only girl I ever loved is gone?
Cartman
God, what a f**!
Kyle
Dude, not now! [Cartman looks down, embarrassed]
Stan
You guys have no idea how this feels. It's like, you always hear songs about a broken heart and you think it's just a figure of speech? But it's true. My chest hurts. I feel this like, sinking feeling where my heart is. It's broken...
Kyle
Jeez, he's worse than I thought.
Butters
Well, what do we do now?
Jimmy
Should I try telling him a fa-fantastic joke?
Kyle
No. We just have to show him that there's other girls out there. I say we take him to Raisins.
Butters
What's Raisins?
Next day, Raisins, a Hooters-like restaurant with al-fresco dining. The boys enter the restaurant, and a pretty girl in a Raisins outfit walks up. Other girls walk around, all seem to work there
Blonde
Hey, guys. Welcome to Raisins. 6 of you? [smiles and grabs some menus from the counter] Right over here. [leads the boys to their table]
Redhead
[waits at a table] So, you guys having a good time today?
Diners
[Table 1, say, enthralled] Uh-huh...
Blonde 2
[waits at the next table] How about some more fun fries, guys?
Diners
[Table 2, enthralled] Okay... [the waitress at the other end of the table smiles]
Brunette
[at the same table] Boy, am I glad you guys came in. Everyone here is such a loser, but you guys seem really cool.
Blonde
[leaving them at their table] Here you go, guys. Lexus will be right with you.
Kyle
What do you think, Stan? These girls are pretty cute, huh?
Jimmy
Jesus Christ, I think I've died and... gone to... heaven.
Butters
This place is awesome!
Cartman
How do you know? We haven't even tried the food yet.
Lexus
[with flyaway light brown hair] Hey, guys.
Butters
Whoa!
Lexus
How are we doing this afternoon?
The boys
Good.
Lexus
I'm so glad you guys came in. Everyone here is such a loser, but you guys seem really cool.
Butters
[amazed] W-we are.
Lexus
So, what can I get you?
Cartman
Okay, um, we're gonna get the zingy tangy wings, and mozzarella tasty tarts [Lexus winks at Butters] and uh, OH, and the bite-size pizzazzas, and a pitcher of lemonade.
Lexus
Great. I'll put your order in right now. [strokes Butters' shoulder, which sends shivers of excitement through his body]
Butters
You guys! I think our Raisins girl likes me. She, she touched my back when she walked away. Did you see that?
Lexus
[near the kitchen] Raisins, girls! [sends an order along a conveyor to the kitchen staff]
Blonde 3
Woohoo!
Redhead
Oh Yeah!
Brunette 2
[farther away] Do it!
Kyle
Hey. Hey, look over there, Stan. That Raisins girl is really cute, huh? [a Raisins girl walks by with long black hair] Why don't you say hi to her? [calls out] Excuse me. [motions for her to come over]
Brunette 3
[walks back and to the table] Hi, guys. My name's Porsche.
Kyle
Hey. Uh, this is Stan.
Porsche
Oh, hey, cutie. How are you? I love your hat. I used to have a hat just like that, except, it was black and it didn't have a puffball on it. Oh my God, my hands are so cold. How come people have hands, anyway? Did you ever wonder that? [Stan looks more and more miserable with every word coming out of her mouth.]
Some time later, still dining. The Village People's "YMCA" begins to play, and some Raisins girls begin to dance
Raisins girls
YMCA... [they make the hand signs for the letters. The rest of the diners look over at them and cheer them on] YMCA-A.
Cartman
[really stuffed, with a soiled face] Oh, my God! You guys... this is the greatest place in the world... [their meals have been served]
Porsche
[still regaling Stan, who hasn't touched his food] Have you ever noticed how much sand there is at the beach? I mean, haven't you ever wondered where all this sand came from? Oh, my God, this one time, I saw a beetle that was this big. Ewww!
Stan
Can we go, please?
Kyle
Okay. Okay, come on you guys. [they all hop off their seats and walk off]
Porsche
Oooh my God, thank you guys sooo much for coming to Raisins! [Butters is last to leave]
Lexus
[sees him and stalls him] Oooh, sweetie, are you leaving?
Butters
Well, I don't want to, Lexus, but my stupid friends wanna go.
Lexus
Awww, well, when am I gonna get to see you again??
Butters
When do you wanna see me?
Lexus
[holds on to him] As soon as possible!
Butters
Oh my God! Here, we left you a tip already, but here is another $5. [hands her the bill]
Lexus
Oooh, you are such a sweetie. Come here, you! [comes around and gives him a full embrace and hugs him]
Butters
[hugs her back] Waa... ahaaah... [the other boys arrive at the entrance]
Raisins girl
Bye, guys! Thanks for coming to Raisins!
Jimmy
Well, Stan. Do you feel, uhb- better now?
Stan
No, dude, I feel worse!
Kyle
Look, we're just trying to show you there's other girls out there.
Stan
Dude, I don't have time to start over with other girls. I'm 9 years old, dude! If I don't work things out with Wendy, I could be alone my whole life!
Butters
[catches up to the other boys] She wants to see me again! My Raisins girl said she wants to see me again!
Stan
I can't let Wendy go. This whole time I've been having my friends do all the talking for me. It's time I took control! [turns and opens one of the doors]
Kyle
What are you doing?
Stan
Something I should have done a long time ago. [walks out the door and into the night]
Bebe's house, night. Stan walks towards the front door, looks around, and knocks 3 times. No response, so he knocks again. The door opens and Bebe appears
Stan
Bebe, you need to go talk to Wendy for me right now! [Bebe rolls her eyes and sighs] All this time, I've been trying to have my friends do all the talking for me! Now I realize I need her friends to do it! Tell her I love her!
Bebe
Stan, why don't you show her you love her? If you really want Wendy back, try doing the most romantic thing you can think of.
Stan
[thinks] Okay, so what's the most romantic thing I can think of?
Bebe
If you really want a shot at getting her back, stand outside her window, hold a boombox over your head, and play [closes her eyes] Peter Gabriel.
Wendy's house, night. Stan stands on the lawn with a boombox, looking up at Wendy's window. He presses the play button and holds up the boombox. Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey" plays from somewhere in the middle. Wendy appears at the window and looks down, her jaw dropping. Stan holds the boombox higher, keeping Wendy's gaze on him. Wendy covers her mouth as Tolkien appears next to her at the window. Stan's jaw drops in shock. Wendy leaves the window. Tolkien unleashes the curtain ties, and the curtains close upon the window
Raisins, night, outside. The outside lights turn off. Butters waits outside on the curb with a present. The front door opens and Lexus appears. Butters rises to greet her
Lexus
Okay, Porsche, see you tomorrow. Bye, Mercedes.
Butters
[approaches] Lexus! [she takes a few steps back]
Lexus
Oh. Oh, hi, sweetie.
Butters
I waited all night for you to get off work.
Lexus
Oh, really? [takes a few more steps back] Huhunh, that's great. Uhm, Maury...
Butters
I I just could- I just couldn't stop thinking about you.
Maury
[a huge bouncer] There a problem?
Lexus
Could you uh, just help walk me to my- bike?
Maury
Right. [steps up behind her and shoves Butters aside. He keeps his arm in place so Butters doesn't get any closer to Lexus]
Lexus
[to Butters] Thanks again for the big tip. You are such a sweetie. Come back and see me real soon, okay? [moves forward, with Maury close behind]
Butters
Oh, wait, Lexus. Jeheez, I almost forgot. Ah, I got you this present.
Lexus
[stops and grabs it] Oh, wow. Thanks, cutie.
Butters
It's a little stuffed bear dressed as a rabbit. [tries to get closer, but Maury holds him back]
Lexus
Gosh, that's the nicest gift I've gotten all night. Thank you. [reaches her bike] Well, I gotta go, honey. Be sure to come back to Raisins and see me again, okay? [unlocks her bike from its post]
Butters
[tries to get closer, but Maury holds him back] Well, yeah, but, but, hey, [tries to get closer, but Maury holds him back] hey Lexus? Well, I was thinking, well, I was thinking that we should- go do something sometime.
Lexus
Oh, gee, that would be great, honey, but I'm really busy this week. Tell you what: you come back to Raisins and then we'll be able to hang out all we want, okay? [Maury helps her on to her bike]
Butters
O-kay!
Lexus
Bye, cutie!
Butters
Bye, bye darling! [Maury turns and goes back to the restaurant. Butters holds his hands over his heart] Wow... a real-life relationship.
[South Park Elementary, day. All the boys are in various stages of dress. Most of them are in their P.E. uniforms.]
Mr. Garrison
[sternly] All right, kids! Out on the gym floor for P.E. class. [the boys break up and head to their lockers. Stan remains on a bench on his back, alone, with just a towel and his hat on]
Kyle
[returns] Come on, Stan. We're gonna play dodgeball.
Stan
[with emotion in his voice] I can't believe it. She's in love with somebody else.
Kyle
Dude, you need to snap out of this! So Wendy left you for Tolkien. What are you gonna do? Just be miserable your whole life?
Stan
There's nothing else I can do. She was my whole life.
Kyle
Aw, come on, dude! All you've done for the last 4 days is mope around! You might as well hang out with those Goth kids who dress in black and talk about pain all the time!
Stan
Maybe I should. At least they will understand me. Maybe I should hang with the Goth kids.
South Park Elementary, loading bay. Stan finds the goth kids.
Pete
[with black puffy, feathery hair, streaked in red] Life is pain. Life is only pain. [his hair falls over his right eye, he jerks his head back to put it back in place] We're all taught to believe in happy fairytale endings. [his hair falls over his eye, he jerks his head back] But there's only blackness. Dark, depressing loneliness that [his hair falls over his eye, he jerks his head back] eats at your soul.
Michael
[dressed in something like a tuxedo, sporting a curly pompadour] Who needs that kind of Barbie love, anyway? Everyone's just walking around like a bunch of conformists. Go ahead and wear your business suits so you can make $34,000 a year to buy your condominium. They're all zombies racing to their graves. Love didn't work for my mom and dad. Why should it work for me?
Henrietta
My dad is such an asshole. Drunken bastard doesn't even know I exist. But then he won't let me go to the Skinny Puppy concert because my heroine-addict aunt is coming over for dinner. [takes a puff] Dinner? That's a laugh. Just an excuse for my mom to bitch at me for not wearing girly clothes like all the Britney Spears wannabes at this school.
Firkle
They're all a bunch of Nazi conformists cheerleaders. [Stan looks stunned at the age of this youngest of Goths]
Stan
But if life is only pain, then... what's the point of living?
Pete
Just to make life more miserable for the conformists. [his hair falls over his eye, he jerks his head back]
Stan
All right, so how do I join you?
Michael
If you wanna be one of the non-conformists, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do.
Stan
...Okay.
Raisins, day. Raisins is preparing for a new day of food and fun. Mercedes escorts a new employee around
Mercedes
Okay, I know it's your first day, Ferrari, so I wanna go over the basics with you.
Ferrari
Okay.
Mercedes
First of all, there's a 5 foot rule. If you come within 5 feet of a customer, you need to acknowledge them, even if they're not at your table. "Hey, cutie." [waves and winks] When you're not serving food or talking with customers, you need to dance around and have fun. [they stop by a wooden bucket] We use things like Hula Hoops, silly strings, and water guns to play with the other girls. Be sure to giggle a lot, and be sure to show off your raisins. [they leave the bucket] Now, when you take a customer's order, you need to sit down at the table with them and make them think you're interested. Write your name down for them and make them feel special. "Oh man, I am so bored. Thank God you guys came in." If you want good tips, the most important thing is physical contact. Just a simple hold of the arm can mean the difference between $5 and $20. "I'll be right back with your order, guys." [holds Ferrari's shoulder]
Ferrari
Wow, thank you so much, Mercedes.
Mercedes
Okay. Well, I guess we're ready to open for business. Good luck. [Ferrari walks off] Go ahead and open for business, Porsche!
Porsche
Okay! [opens the doors and Butters bolts in, quite excitedly]
Raisins girl
Hi, welcome to Raisins!
Butters
Hi! Is Lexus here?
Lexus
Hey, cutie.
Butters
Darling!
Lexus
[hugs him] How are we doing today?
Butters
[hugs back] Oh God. I missed you so much.
Henrietta's room. It's quite the room, with posters for Skippy Puppy and the Nothing Matters tour, a Blauhaus poster, candles all around, a mace on the floor, cigarettes next to a book, an ornate candelabrum and chair, and a darkened atmosphere.
Henrietta
[Reciting her poem]

Shallow life.
Drowning alone, I gasp for air.
Coldness creeps over pale skin.
There is sadness so deep it pulls me down
Happiness dies in a deep, dark sea.

Pete
Yeah, happiness dies. [his hair falls over his eye, he jerks his head back]
Stan
[dressed all in black, with a black hat with puffball] Yeah.
Michael
All right, your turn, Stan. Read one of your poems about pain.
Stan

[takes up his paper and reads his poem]
There is darkness all around me
Deep, piercing black, I cannot breathe
My heart has been raped.

Henrietta
Whoa.
Stan

[continues]
The pain is everlasting.
I miss you so much, babe.
Want to hold you in my arms again, girl.
Want to-

Pete
Whoa, whoa! Dude! Those last two lines aren't Goth!
Stan
They're not?
Michael
No, dude! You can't say "I miss you so much, babe. I want to hold you in my arms."
Henrietta
Make it "I miss seeing you so much I wanna slash my eyes out with razor blades."
Henrietta's mom
[the bedroom door opens and a blindingly invasive amount of light comes in, she looks inside] Henrietta! Hi, sweetie!
Henrietta
Go away, Mom! Leave me alone!
Henrietta's mom
Daddy and I just got your birthday present! But you can't see what it is till tomorrow!
Henrietta
You'd like to wait till I was dead, wouldn't you? You'd like to see maggots eat my face.
Henrietta's mom
Ee-you are so creative, honey.
Henrietta
Conformist bitch.
Other Goths
Yeah.
Raisins, day. Two of the Raisins girls are entertaining the child customers, who respond enthusiastically. The phone rings and Porsche arrives to answer it.
Porsche
Thanks for calling Raisins. This is Porsche. Have you tried our Double Whammy Wings?
Butters
[seated on his bed in his room. A picture of Lexus is taped to his wall next to the window. The action switches back and forth] Hi. Is Lexus there, please? This is her boyfriend. [Lexus happens to walk by, and Porsche hands her the phone.]
Lexus
Thanks for calling Raisins. This is Lexus.
Butters
Hey, Lexus.
Lexus
Hi, sweetie! Who's this?
Butters
Wuh it's me, Butters.
Lexus
Oh, okay. Hi, cutie. [keeps an eye out for passing customers. Three boys walk by and she covers the phone's receiver] Hey sweetie. [lifts her hand from the receiver] So, how are you, honey?
Butters
I'm fine. I miss you though. [lays on his back, getting comfortable] Yeah, school was pretty tough today. We had two quizzes, and one of them was a pop quiz. [shot of Lexus pouring lemonade into a pitcher] Sometimes I think our classes are too hard. [back to Butters' room] But I thought about you all day long. I promise. So, how is your day going?
Lexus
Good, good.
Butters
Hey, hey sweetie, I was thinking tonight you could come over and we could watch The Exorcist on DVD.
Lexus
Oh, gee, I don't know, cutie. [another Raisins girl comes with glasses to refill, Lexus ] Why don't you just come down to Raisins?
Butters
Oh well, uh I kinda don't have any money left. Unh, I spent it all on Raisins the last six times.
Lexus
[waving to customers] Awww, that's too bad, cutie. I really wanna see you.
Butters
Oh, I really wanna see you too, baby. Eh don't, don't worry. I'll get more money
Lexus
[walks to the phone's base to end the conversation] Okay, sugar. Gotta run.
Butters
Uh-okay. Uh, hey, Lexus, well, there's something I've been meaning to say. [Lexus has hung up and is walking away with her pitcher] Here it goes: Lexus, I- Oh jeeze, maybe I shouldn't say it- no wait, I want to say it. I love you. [hangs up quickly and nervously] Heeheee, heh, Oh my God.
Butters' house, living room. Butters arrives there moments later and faces the couch
Butters
Dad, I need an advance on my allowance again.
Stephen
O-hoo no Butters! You got an advance 2 days ago. [Linda is dusting off the family portrait by the front door.]
Butters
Uh, but I spent it all.
Linda
What are you spending all that money on, Butters?
Butters
On my girlfriend.
Stephen
[he and Linda are surprised] Girlfriend?
Linda
You... have a girlfriend, Butters?
Butters
[bashfully, puts his hands behind his back] Yeah.
Chris
And she's... a... girl, right?
Butters
Yup!
Chris
Well, all right! Good for you, Butters!
Linda
Oh, that is so cute. When do we get to meet her?
Butters
Well, I was hoping to go see her right now. You can come alone. [holds a cautionary finger] But don't embarrass me or nothing. [lowers it] I'm sure she'll be real nervous to impress you.
Stephen
Don't worry, Butters. We just wanna say hi and then we'll leave you two alone.
Butters
Okay. [walks off]
Stephen
[holds out his hand] You see? I told you he wouldn't turn out gay.
Linda
[hands him a bill] All right, you win.
Benny's, night. "We're always open." The Goth kids are seated at a booth drinking coffee. A middle-aged waitress walks by with a pot of coffee
Michael
Hey, can we get more coffee over here?
Waitress
Dammit, are you kids just gonna sit here all night again and drink $6 work of coffee?! Why don't you get a life?! [walks away]
Michael
[bitterly] Conformist. Have fun in your rat-race life, living paycheck to paycheck for corporate gains.
Other Goths
Yeah.
Pete
[to Stan] Dude, you haven't drank your coffee. [his hair falls over his face, he jerks his head back]
Stan
Well, I don't drink coffee.
Pete
You can't be a non-conformist if you don't drink coffee. [Stan picks up his mug and drinks. Kyle enters the restaurant and approaches Stan's booth]
Kyle
Oh, Jesus Christ, I had to see it to believe it! What the hell are you doing?!
Stan
[sips some coffee] Breathing deep in darkness that envelops my soul. [sips some coffee. Pete jerks his hair back into place]
Kyle
Goddamnit dude, your mom and dad want you to come home!
Stan
So they can fill my head with more Disney lies about how perfect the world is? I don't think so.
Pete
Yeah. Why don't you just go back to your Justin Timberlake and your homework, you conformist asshole? [jerks his hair back into place] You just don't know what real pain is.
Kyle
Oh, like you know what pain is! Go try living in a Third-World country, you little pussy!
Pete
I'm not gonna live in a Third-World country with all the conformists.
Kyle
Stan, this is it. Time to stop feeling sorry for yourself and come home! Everyone cares about you and everyone wants you back!
Stan
What about Wendy? Isn't she still with Tolkien?
Kyle
Yeah. She is.
Stan
Then people shouldn't care about me. Because I don't care about them. What's the point of caring if all it brings is pain?
Henrietta
For sure.
Kyle
[walks away, defeated] Fine. That's it. I give up. Have fun being miserable.
Stan
[sips some coffee] ...conformist.
Other Goths
Yeah.
Raisins, night. Butters and his parents arrive.
Butters
Here we are, Mom and Dad! [they enter, but his parents are immediately troubled by the setting]
Mercedes
Hi, welcome to Raisins. Three of you?
Butters
Hi, Mercedes. It's me, Lexus' boyfriend. I brought my parents over to meet her.
Mercedes
Great. [gets some menus] Be sure to try our Cheddar Poppers. Right this way. [leads them to a table]
Raisins girl
Who else wants a signed Raisins Girls calendar for $5? [the table she approaches cheers]
Diners
Woohoo, all right, yeah! [the Stotches look around, amazed]
Linda
Stephen, what is this place?
Stephen
I, don't know.
Mercedes
[stops at a table] Here you go. Porsche will by right with you. [walks off]
Butters
Go ahead and have a seat, guys. Ah, I've gotta go and find Lexus! [runs off. Stephen and Linda take their seats]
Raisins girl
[blonde, to a boy at a table nearby] Hey cutie, you having a good time?
Boy
Yeah.
Stephen
Oh boy, I think I know what's happened. Our son hasn't learned yet that girls will pretend to like him for money.
Linda
[holds her hands together] This place is horrible. To objectify girls like this.
Porsche
[arrives] Hi guys. Can I take your order?
Linda
Little girl, you shouldn't be working here.
Porsche
I shouldn't? Where I supposed to be working?
Linda
No, I mean you shouldn't work somewhere where you're paid for how you look. You should be learning a skill so you can grow up to be a businesswoman or even a doctor. Who knows? You could cure cancer.
Porsche
I could cure cancer? Oh, my God! That would be so cool! I had a cancer sore on my lip once and it hurt so bad.
Linda
... Oh. Never mind, I think Raisins might be the perfect place for you.
Porsche
Cool! [grins and hops off the stool, then carries it off. Butters arrives with Lexus, who carries a plate of chips]
Butters
Mom? Dad? This is Lexus.
Lexus
Hi. Welcome to Raisins.
Stephen
Uh, Butters, can we have a little talk with you? Outside?
Butters
Huh? Oh, anything you have to say to me [holds onto Lexus] you can say in front of Lexus.
Linda
Butters, these girls pretend to be interested in you because they know you'll give them tips.
Butters
Huh?
Stephen
You see, Butters, women know that they can make men do anything by flirting. And some girls, like these, turn that into a profession.
Butters
Oh, I see. [gets angry] You don't approve of my girlfriend! [Lexus looks off and smiles at somebody] Well, let me tell you something, Mom and Dad. Our love is as pure as a mountain spring! The odds may be stacked against us, but we're gonna give it our best shot! And so, if you can't be happy for us, y-you can just go to heck, Mom and Dad! [walks away from the table with Lexus] Come on, Lexus. I'm moving out of my parents' house and I'm moving in with you. Uh, let's blow this joint!
Lexus
What are you talking about, kid? We are NOT boyfriend and girlfriend.
Butters
... What? Lexus, what are you saying? Are you saying... you don't want to be together anymore?
Lexus
I'm sorry, sweetie. Yes.
Butters
So that's it? We're broken up now?
Lexus
I gotta go, I gotta get these curly fries to Table 12. [walks off]
Butters
Well, go ahead and go. It's best we don't say anything more. There's nothing left to say. It's over. [walks off dejected] Our relationship is o-over.
Run-down part of town, night. The conditions surrounding Stan's presence there a week ago are present again, and Butters sobs at the same spot Stan did, at the curb under a working street light. Some shadows move in on him and stop when they cover most of his head
Michael
Look at that. Another tortured soul.
Pete
Another life of pain. [Butters looks up to see the Goths. Stan isn't shown yet.]
Michael
Hey, Raven, check it out. [Stan, now named Raven, enters the picture]
Stan
Butters?
Butters
Oh. [sniffs, wipes away his tears] Uh, hey, hey, Stan.
Stan
What's the matter with you?
Butters
[sobbing] Well, mu mu mu girlfriend broke up with me.
Henrietta
Did she step on your heart with stiletto heels?
Butters
Yeah. [sniff] It sure does hurt.
Michael
That's cool. I guess you can join up with us if you want.
Pete
Yeah. We're gonna go to the graveyard and write poems about death and how pointless life is.
Butters
Uh, uhm no thanks. I I love life.
Stan
Huh? But you just got dumped.
Butters
Wuh-ell yeah, and I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that somethin' could make me feel that sad. It's like, [sobs] it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. [Stan blinks, clearly affected by the speech] And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So, I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid...
Pete
Yeah.
Stan
No. No, Butters, that doesn't sound stupid at all.
Butters
Well, thanks for offerin' to let me in your clique, guys, uh but, to be honest, I'd rather be a cryin' little pussy than a f**** Goth kid. Well see ya, Stan. [walks off]
Stan
[Stares in realization] He's right. I don't even know who I am anymore. I like liking life a whole lot more than hating it. Screw you guys, I'm goin' home. [walks off after throwing his cane back to Michael]
Michael
Go ahead and go back to your sunshine fairytale!
South Park Elementary, playground. The school kids are back at play. The same two teams face off, except that Bill has replaced Tolkien on Stan's team, and Stan hasn't arrived yet.
Kyle
[prepares to receive the football] Okay, it's third down. And now, somebody make a play!
Stan
[arrives] Hey, can I join in? [the other boys turn around]
Kyle
What happened? Aren't you still wallowing in pain?
Stan
Yeah, it still hurts a lot, but ...I just realized that there's gonna be a lot of painful times in life, so, I'd better learn to deal with it the right way. [Wendy and Tolkien walk by at this point] Hey, Wendy! [Wendy and Tolkien look at Stan] You're a bitch. Tolkien? [flips him off] Right here, buddy. [Wendy and Tolkien angrily walk off]
Kyle
Well. Dude, it's uh, it's good to have you back.
Stan
Yeah. Let's play ball.
