His attempts to reconcile with both Cindy and Kenneth are rebuffed. When school resumes, he finds himself a social outcast, by both the jocks and the nerds. Dejected, he leaves and spends the night in his garage crying himself to sleep. In a drunken rage, Cindy reveals the truth about her and Ronald to the partygoers, and Ronald is immediately ostracized. Cindy tries to explain that Ronald paid her to pretend they were dating, but Bobby does not believe her and walks out on her. After Bobby learns about Cindy's "relationship" with Ronald, he breaks up with her. Later, Cindy's boyfriend, Bobby, unexpectedly shows up at the party. Devastated, Cindy starts drinking even more. Cindy walks by and hears Ronald reciting her special poem to Iris. Kenneth ignores him the next day at school.Īt a New Year's Eve party at Big John's house, Ronald starts drinking and has a romantic tryst with his date, Iris, in the bathroom. Kenneth is lying in wait and catches Ronald, but lets him go before his father can call the police. On Halloween night, he and some jocks drive to the house of Kenneth, Ronald's best friend, where the jocks test his loyalty by coercing him to hurl dog feces at Kenneth's house. At first, the other kids are mystified, but they soon join in, and Ronald's new "trendy" dancing further increases his popularity. Ronald takes Patty to a school dance, where he performs a dance he learned from an African cultural show on public television he mistakenly thought was the latest dance craze performed on American Bandstand. She remains calm and distant, but informs Ronald that popularity is hard work and that he needs to make sure that he "stays himself." The next day, Cindy notices him behaving arrogantly at school, and becomes jealous when she sees him flirting with her best friends Barbara and Patty. The next day at school, they stage a breakup in front of a crowd, but Ronald takes things too far and says some hurtful things about Cindy in front of her friends. On their last date that Ronald paid for, Cindy begins to have real feelings for him and hints that she would like to kiss him, but he misunderstands. In turn, Ronald reveals his interests in astronomy and space travel. Cindy has Ronald read a secret poem she wrote that means a great deal to her. Ronald then trades his nerdy, yet loyal, friends for the popular but shallow students, and undergoes a complete clothing and hair makeover under Cindy's direction. Cindy reluctantly agrees to help Ronald look "cool" by posing as his girlfriend for a month for $1,000 (which was used to replace the ruined outfit), although she already has a boyfriend, Bobby, who is attending the University of Iowa. She had borrowed her mother's expensive suede outfit without permission, to wear to a party, only to have wine accidentally spilled on it. At an opportune moment, he makes a deal with next-door neighbor and popular cheerleader Cindy Mancini. He has spent all summer mowing lawns to save up for a telescope. Then again, Pierce did say in an earlier episode that Sagittarius A was the black hole at the center of our galaxy, not Sagittarius A*, and that it "has the density of forty suns", instead of being a supermassive black hole at the density of just over four million solar masses.Ronald Miller is a typical high school nerd living in suburban Tucson, Arizona. > In 2003, Can't Buy Me Love was remade as Love Don't Cost a Thing starring Nick Cannon and Christina Milian.
