As soon as Joel arrives at
college, the boys begin pulling their pranks on him. |
 |
Joel meets Abbie for the
first time and begins to fall in love . . . for the first time. |
 |
Joel is finally able to take
Abbie to the soda shop, and the mischievous boys follow them,
order sodas, and tell the owner that Joel is paying for them. |
 |
"Don't look like a sheep,"
Abbie tells Joel. "Look like a regular Abraham Lincoln!" |
 |
When Thompson chides Joel
for bringing a "waitress" to the dance, Abbie is appalled
not only at the comment, but that Joel does not come to her defense. |
 |
"My father was right. I ain't
no good and I'm goin' home to die." |
 |
He gets his chance to try
out for the team, but he's so inept, the coach only makes him
the mascot. |
 |
When the coach runs out of
pinch hitters in the big game, Joel gets his chance to prove
his worth. |
 |
Joel's success in the big
game not only brings him the admiration of everyone at the college,
it also changes his father's attitude toward his son. |
