It's graduation day at Huntington Hills High, and you know what that means - time to party. And not just any party, either. This one will be a night to remember, as the nerds become studs, the jocks are humiliated, and freshman crushes blossom into grown-up romance.

Concerned Parents Arrive for William Lichter
Cop Lichter? William Lichter? Let's go. Your parents are here to take you home.
William Lichter Oh... no. Oh... my parents? They're here? They must be so mad at me! Have you seen my father? Does he have a weapon of some kind?
Cop Afraid not. Actually, they're more worried about you than anything else. You know, it's not your fault that... Mike Dexter beat you up and forced you to drink alcohol until you passed out.
[reads from a clipboard in a very sarcastic tone]
William Lichter Wh-what?
Cop That's the statement we got from the Dexter kid. He made you drink, took your clothes off.
William Lichter He... he said that?
Cop Unless... if you have another unconvincing side of the story you'd like to tell...
William Lichter No... no, no, no. It's what... yeah. Uh, you know. It's just the funny thing that... he finally came clean, you know? Mike, always picking on me, yeah.
