West End Girls
(After receiving an offer from Kevin Smith to write and record a song for his film, �Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh?�,
Craig rushes to his garage to deliver the news to Ashley, who has news of her own.)
Craig: Get behind that keyboard.
Ashley: Can we sit for a minute first?
Craig: No sitting, no time.
Ashley: Okay I told you my dad got a transfer to BBC World in London?
Craig: No small bollocks, oy?
Ashley: Well he got me a summer job too! BBC 6 they call it T-Girl which I think means gopher, but-
Craig: You�re not going to London.
Ashley: Look Craig I know. But I promise I�ll IM you everyday and send you tons of obscure Brit pop.
Craig: I�m afraid that we�re gonna be too busy doing music for Kevin Smith�s soundtrack.
Ashley: What?! How?! Oh my god.
Craig: I, I know! We have a meeting with his music guy. How much do you love me now?!
*Ashley smiles and grabs his face, kissing him*
Ashley: Better get behind that keyboard!
Craig: See I told you, you weren�t going. *singing* Silent Boooooob!
(After recording �Only A Dream of You (Nothing at All)�, Craig and Ashley anxiously await the opinion of Kevin Smith�s
music guy (a.k.a. the biggest Creed fan ever).They receive a disappointing review.)
Craig: We write all our own stuff.
Ashley: So we can adjust it if you want!
Music guy: If I want? What I want is Husker Du meets the Meat Puppets with maybe a soup song of Van Halen. That�s what I want.
Craig: Um okay! Is that what we did?!
Music guy: Is that what you did?? This is a buddy/love story okay man!! It�s not the place for whiny girls impersonating Kate Bush, accompanied by Bon Jovi wannabees!
Craig: Hey!!
Music guy: Get out of my office please. Thank you. *picks up his phone*Get Kevin for me please.
Craig: I guess we�re no Meat Puppets.
Ashley: I guess we suck!
(At the prom)
*Craig and Ashley are performing their song and Craig keeps looking over and watching her when she sings (aww!) and when he sings a part she looks back at him. It's really an adorable scene!*
(After performing their song in front of the semi-formal attendees, Craig and Ashley retreat into the hallway, full of adrenaline and love. Craig was hoping the performance would get Ashley to stay, but Ashley reveals that she�s ready to go to England and try new endeavors.)
Craig: We rocked the place out!
Ashley: Did you just say rocked out?
Craig: Hey no lip or I�ll smother you in sweat.
*He puts his arms around her waist and moves closer to her, and they kiss*
Ashley: I�m gonna miss you so much.
Craig: But, the show went really great!
Ashley: There was a moment up there when I just thought to myself I have nothing left to prove. I�m ready to go to England and try some new things.
Craig: Alright.
*Craig sits on the steps*
Ashley: You know I�ve wanted to go since I was a kid.
*Ashley sits next to him and rests her head on his shoulder*
Craig: Since you saw Mary Poppins, I know. It�s great, it�s really great.
Ashley: Come on you. Let�s get to the cheese buffet before Heather Sinclair scarfs all the havarti.
Craig: Um I�ll meet you there.
(Craig sits outside the gym, depressed about Ashley�s departure. Kevin Smith offers some advice about Ashley and never giving up.)
Kevin: Hey I know that kid. Hey kid get off my set!!
Craig: Sorry you working here?
Kevin: No we�re not! It�s okay. Dude I never work and that thing, I don�t even know how it operates. Ever see one of my flicks? It kind of shows.
Craig: Yeah. I like the one where the guys hang outside the 7-11.
Kevin: Yeah that kind of narrows it down a bit. Why aren�t you inside prom-ing it up?
Craig: Your music guy hated us and uh now Ashley�s going to England.
Kevin: Ah what I�m hearing is girl trouble dude. Always comes down to girl trouble. I can feel your pain sir.
Craig: You�ve been through this?
Kevin: Girl trouble? Dealing with a fat guy from New Jersey. Yeah I�ve had girl trouble. Even when I write and direct the movies, I never get the girl. I always wind up with Jay, some cases a monkey. But you know what I found, when my uh heart gets broken, just throw yourself into work man. Go home start writing a song. Go write a song for a movie. Movie directed by fat Star Wars nerd who hangs around high schools during prom, talks to brokenhearted musician types. Dude what part of this don�t you understand?!
Craig: Your music guy said I suck!
Kevin: Ugh dude he�s persona non grata. That dude�s got no credibility whatsoever. The day Creed broke up I found him in a bathroom stall and he was crying. Crying!! Besides, it�s my movie. It�s not his movie. You�re looking at me all incredulous-like. Dude did you not see me ten minutes ago?! I flat out caught the Prom Queen! You know what kind of huge karmic debt that is to pay back? I gotta pay it forward man. I�m gonna pay you.
