Heather.....Amy Poehler
Angela.....Lindsey Lohan
Peeping Tom.....Will Forte


[ open on interior, college dorm room,

Angela: Lights out, it's ten o'clock.

Heather: Alright, alright. I'm pooped from studying, anyway. What time's your first exam tomorrow morning?

Angela: Eight o'clock. But I want to get up early so I can grab a banana from the cafeteria.

Heather: My first exam isn't until nine. Don't make too much noise leaving the room, okay?

Angela: I'll wear slippers. Good night.

[ the lights are turned out, as the girls curl up in their beds. A shadow appears at the window, and a man's face soon presses up to the glass. His heavy breathing wakes Angela from her sleep. ]

Angela: Hey! What do you think you're doing?!

Peeping Tom: Don't mind me. Just go back to sleep, there's no cause for alarm! [ stares intently through the glass ]

Angela: Go away!

Peeping Tom: I'm just doing my job, won't be but a minute. [ continues to stare intently through the glass ]

Angela: You good for nothing -- that's it!

[ Angela climbs out of bed, grabs a shoe from the floor and rushes out the door, dragging the screaming Peeping Tom into the room ]

Peeping Tom: You are violating the Peeping Tom Code of Ethics! I'm not supposed to be dragged into a girl's room, like a side of beef sauteed with mushrooms and smothered with pepperjack cheese sauce!

Angela: I dragged you in here for one reason, and one reason only!

Peeping Tom: Again - violation of Peeping Tom Code of Ethics. I bet you've never even read the student handbook.

Angela: What does the student handbook have to do with anything?

Heather: Well, Steve is authorized by the university.

Peeping Tom: Wanna see my permit? And by "permit", I don't mean my penis. [ pulls a card out of his pocket ]

Angela: So, you're saying I can't call the University Police?

Peeping Tom: Well, you can, if you want to say "Hi" to Dave the Student Cop, and wish him Good Luck after graduation.

Angela: This is unacceptable!

Heather: Oh, you're just mad because you're wearing cotton pajamas the night he finally shows up.

Peeping Tom: That's not very thoughtful of you. What if I had allergies?

Angela: What do I care if you have allergies, you freak!

Heather: [ to Peeping Tom ] I've been wearing Victoria's Secret since January, waiting for you to show up. And I haven't let my boyfriend sleep over, either, because I know you don't like to look at dudes' things.

Peeping Tom: Thanks, Heather. I appreciate your effort and concern.

Heather: No problem, Cowboy. So, how come it's taken you until Final Exams to get around to peeping on us?

Peeping Tom: Well, I start at the President's house and work my way outward. You live on the far end of campus. Believe me, it's nothing personal!

Angela: Heather, what are you doing getting chummy with this creep? He's a perverted sex fiend!

Peeping Tom: Hey! I don't have sex! [ a beat ] I like to.. watch.

Angela: Yeah? Well, I don't like to be watched while I'm asleep.

Peeping Tom: No problem. As long as you're up, why don't you turn on some reruns of "Becker" - it soothes my aching joints to watch it through the glass.

Angela: Eugh!

Heather: Hey, Steve, do you want to watch me watching "Becker" while chewing on a throw pillow?

Peeping Tom: ..Maybe just during the commercials.

Angela: This is outrageous. Why is the university allowing you to do this?

Peeping Tom: As long as I pay my tuition at the end of every mnoth, they don't care what I do. Why, last week I decided to give the campus mascot a sponge bath and an enema just because one of my classes let out early.

Angela: Okay, that's disgusting.

Peeping Tom: And, when you're in the shower at the gym, do you ever hear a slight whistling of "Lara's Theme"?

Angela: [ thinking ] Yeah.. now that you mention it..

Peeping Tom: [ proudly ] That's me, baby!

Angela: [ confused ] Why "Lara's Theme"?

Peeping Tom: [ annoyed ] Why not? It's easier to whistle than "We Didn't Start The Fire".

Angela: Look - if we just give you some money, will you go away?

Peeping Tom: I find that insulting! I don't peep for money - I do it because I enjoy the feel of glass on my cheeks.

Angela: Then, why don't you peep in your own window?

Peeping Tom: I live alone. What am I supposed to peep at, my Kareem Abdul Jabbar poster?

Heather: Hey, Angela, quit giving Steve a hard time.

Peeping Tom: Yeah, I don't have all night. I still have to peep in the mens' dorms before dawn, and I have an exam at noon. Don't you have any consideration for anyone but yourself? God, you're so selfish! I don't even want to peep at you any more!

Angela: Well, good! Issue finally resolved!

Heather: Don't go, Steve - we can tell ghost stories.

Peeping Tom: Sorry, Heather.. but duty calls. This is a growing university, and everyone - women and men alike - deserve the chance to be peeped on in the middle of the night as they sleep, have sex, or watch old, yet craftily-written, reruns of "Frasier". I am a champion of students, and my legacy will live on. Ladies, I bid thee good night!

[ Peeping Tom exits dorm room ]

Angela: What a creep!

Heather: He's really sweet once you get to know him. [ a beat ] He's in my Trig class.

[ a light knock at the door, as Peppeing Tom lets himself back in ]

Peeping Tom: Uh.. can I borrow your outlet? The batteries in my digital camera need recharging. Won't be but a minute..

[ fade ]
