We're talking about a harmless little
human interest piece on the local news.

:05:08
Believe me, they're not looking
for anything remotely controversial.

:05:11
Otherwise, why would they assign it to me?
:05:17
Okay, we're done now.
Guess I'll see you in two weeks.

:05:21
- Excellent.
- Come in.

:05:22
God damn it, Meyer,
the kids keyed my car again!

:05:26
- Sorry to interrupt.
- That's all right, we're done.

:05:28
Miss Klein, this is Roger Nicholl,
a Law and Civics teacher here at Roxbury.

:05:32
- Hello.
- Hi, there.

:05:34
Okay.
:05:38
She's a dyke.
:05:39
Symbiotic, that's what our relationship
is going to be like, Randa.

:05:44
Just like we learned in biology:
:05:46
The whale,
and the little fish that sticks on it.

:05:49
If you hang with me,
you'll get a lot of attention from boys...

:05:52
that you otherwise wouldn't.
:05:53
Meanwhile, when I'm standing next to you,
I look more attractive by comparison.

:05:57
- Isn't that great?
- Very nice.

:05:59
It's a constant struggle for us girls
who don't conform to the Western ideal...

:06:03
of blonde hair, and blue eyes,
and an hourglass figure.

:06:07
You know, my best friend Brittany,
whom you'll meet soon, is so lucky.

:06:11
She's three for three.
:06:13
Me, I could dye my hair,
but nobody respects a bottle blonde.

:06:17
I am slim, however,
and my breasts are coming along nicely...

:06:21
though not as nicely as my friend Brittany's,
whom you'll meet soon.

:06:27
You're very lucky that I'm doing this for you.
:06:30
I know you probably have an impression
of American high school girls...

:06:33
being mean and spiteful...
:06:36
and it's a reputation that's largely deserved,
believe me.

:06:40
But I'm not like that at all.
I really try to be a good person.

:06:44
The same as my best friend Brittany,
whom you'll meet soon.

:06:50
So here's your first survival tip:
:06:52
This is Beverly Hills,
so a lot of the kids that go here...

:06:54
have rich and famous parents,
and it's good to know who's who.

:06:58
Like, that's Josh Horowitz.
