But James Francos Daniel and the attention he pays Lindsay are her kryptonite.
Is Daniel feeding into Lindsays crush and using it for his own self-interest?
Of all the people Daniel could ask for help, he asked her!
Just like at the party, though, Daniels charm here has a self-serving edge.
They want to know who Lindsay and Sams friends are and how their days at school went.
Gigers facehuggers from theAlienfranchise, his teacher Mr. Fredricks (Tom Wilson) scolds Sam for interrupting the class.
He asks his parents, who also dont get the joke.
He brainstorms with Bill and Neal, whoalsodont get the joke.
And while Neal is fully into it (That guys got the best job in the world!
), Starrs Bill is embarrassed like Sam, also easing himself away.
When Bill asks, Are we gonna go to hell for this?
its a reminder of how young 14 can really be.
Does that make Mr. Fredricks a good teacher and Mr. Kowchevski (Steve Bannos) a bad teacher?
Daniel is a bad student.
Lindsay is a good student.
To Lindsays credit, she is the kind of person who seems to want to help everyone.
Mr. Kowchevski should have known that.
But Daniel should have known better, too.
Be cool, Daniel whispers to her, but Lindsay cant control herself.
Maybe thats what Lindsay is left with after her laughter ends.
