251
I need help with my lines.

252
-Landon Carter's asking me for help?
-Yeah.

253
Okay, I'll pray for you.

254
Jamie, look--

255
You've obviously never asked anybody
for help before, right?

256
A request like yours requires
flattery and groveling.

257
It can't be about you.
It has to be for the common good.

258
It is for the common good.
Eddie Zimmerhoff deserves the best.

259
-Please?
-Okay. One condition, though.

260
What's that?

261
You have to promise
you won't fall in love with me.

262
-That's not a problem.
-Okay. I'll see you today after school.

263
Landon Carter is coming here?

264
He's dangerous, careless,
the worst kind of bully.

265
Daddy, what about forgiveness?

266
I thought we had discussed
that I would decide...

267
...how I wanted to spend
my time and my life.

268
It's him I don't trust, not you.

269
You gonna keep me out here
all afternoon?

270
Come on in.

271
My script is in my room. I'll be
right down. Make yourself at home.

272
Oh, yeah.

273
It's not likely.

274
That is one scary-looking--

275
-Jesus!
-No, Jamie's father.

276
Hello, Mr. Carter. I understand
you're the lead in the play.

277
Congratulations.

278
Thanks for letting me
come over and run lines.

279
I didn't let you.

280
It's a school night. Let's get
one thing straight, Mr. Carter.

281
You think that, on Sundays,
I don't see you from where I stand.

282
But I see you.

283
I'll be in my office, just here.

284
Ready?

285
Yeah, let's go.

286
-Landon! Where have you been?
-Nowhere.

287
-Hey, come here.
-What's up?

288
-Are we cool?
-Yeah, sure.

289
What the hell?

290
-What are you doing here?
-I should ask you the same.

291
Do you normally walk alone
in a cemetery at night?

292
Maybe.

293
Where you going?

294
Come and see.

295
Okay. What is that?

296
This is my telescope.
I built it when I was 1 2.

297
Take a look.

298
Saturn. Very cool.

299
I'm planning on building a larger one
so I can see the comet Hyakutake.

300
It comes this spring.
Nobody knows when it'll be back.
