               [South Park, Main Street, day. Kyle, Stan, and Kenny walk towards 
               Tom's Rhinplasty. Some adults walk by them as a station wagon 
               rolls by. On the buildings are posters of Father Time and Baby 
               New Year.]

                         Dude, what are we gonna do for New Year's 
                         Eve? It has to be awesome.

                         I know. It's probably gonna be the biggest 
                         night of our lives!

                         I've become a man! I started puberty, 
                         you guys!

                         No you didn't!

                                     CARTMAN
                         Yes! I really did.

                         Well, because yesterday I got my period.

                         My period, you guys. You see, there 
                         comes a time in every child's life when 
                         they grow up and nature takes its course 
                         by having you bleed out your ass for 
                         a few days every month.
 
                                     STAN
                         You're making that up!  Miss Aliton, 
                         what's it mean to get a period?
 
                                     MISS ALITON
                         Well boys, ah-I don't think I can tell 
                         you. Ah-
 
                                     STAN
                         Please, it's important.

                                     MISS ALITON
                         Well, it's when puberty hits and you 
                         bleed, you know, down there. 
 
                                     KYLE
                         Holy shit, dude! Cartman's right! 
 
                         
                                     CARTMAN
                         Well guys, I'm afraid I won't be able 
                         to hang out with you on New Year's Eve. 
                         I have to hang out with the older crowd 
                         because now, I'm ma-ture.  I got my 
                         period, and you guys didn't. I got my 
                         period, and you guys didn't. 
 
                                     STAN
                         Dude, Cartman can't hit puberty before 
                         us.

                         Well, maybe we'll get ours soon, too. 
                         I'm gonna go and see if I'm bleeding 
                         out my ass.

               [TV 4 News Flash]

                                     ANCHORMAN
                         In local news, a stomach virus is going 
                         around that is causing bleeding of the 
                         colon in some small children. Doctors 
                         are telling parents that the virus is 
                         nothing to worry about and that the 
                         infections can be dealt with with simple 
                         antibiotics.  Well, it's just four days 
                         until New Year's Eve, 1999. The new 
                         millennium is almost upon us, and all 
                         over the world people have started to 
                         celebrate by dancing, singing, and killing 
                         one another.  But probably the biggest 
                         event of the millennium is one happening 
                         in South Park, Colorado, where people 
                         have gathered for a chance to see Jesus 
                         Christ. Craig Netzel is standing by.

                         Thanks, Tom. It is indeed four days 
                         until the new millennium, and hundreds 
                         if not thousands of people have come 
                         from all over the world seeking Jesus, 
                         here at his house in South Park.  Everyone 
                         is giddy with anticipation for Jesus 
                         to come out, because as we all know, 
                         if Jesus comes out of his house and 
                         is not scared by his shadow, it means 
                         the next thousand years will be full 
                         of peace and love.  Oh, it looks like 
                         Jesus might be coming out!

                          Everyone is quiet here, Tom. Looks 
                         like the little fellow's a bit nervous. 
                          But he has taken another step out, 
                         Tom! This is great new for us!

                         got your period, so now you're a man. 
                         We can hang out together on New Year's 
                         eve.  But first you need to buy some 
                         Maxi pads to stuff in the back of your 
                         pants so you don't get blood on your 
                         underwear.

                         was going to come out of his house, 
                         but then he went back inside. But meanwhile,

                         to show their support for Jesus.

                         And I'm here, Goddess Earthly Delight. 
                         So this is the first meeting of our 
                         club for teens who have gotten their 
                         periods. We're supposed to talk about 
                         our periods. And boys. Let's talk about 
                         boys first. I think Craig is pretty 
                         cool, but I don't think Clyde is very 
                         cool.

                         I think Clyde is kind of cool, but Craig 
                         is definitely cooler than Clyde.

                         times as cool as Clyde. There doesn't 
                         really seem to be a doubt.)

                         about our periods. Kyle, you first.

                         might clear things up for you.

                         shouldn't be bummed becuase everybody 
                         has their period at a different time.

                         supposed to reach into this little dish 
                         and pull out a word. We look at the 
                         word and think about what that word 
                         means to us.

                         quicker. And I'm just here to tell you

                         Stan. You should let it come, like the 
                         morning dew.

                         go.

                         child's ass. Apparently, he'd had it 
                         up there for several days. It plugged 
                         him up until he finally burst from the

                         following some kind of crazy new fad. 
                         Perhaps the children are all shoving 
                         tampons up their ass because they've 
                         seen the Backstreet Boys doing it on

                         and he never answered me.
 
                                     JESUS
                         Well, yeah, but just because God doesn't 
                         answer your prayers doesn't mean he 
                         doesn't care about you.

                         I wanted?
 
                                     JESUS
                         Well, God can't just answer every prayer 
                         and suddenly give you everything you 
                         want. That takes all the living out 
                         of life.

                                     JESUS
                         If God answered all our prayers, there'd 
                         be nothing left for us to do ourselves. 
                         Life is about problems, and overcoming 
                         those problems.  A-and growing and learning 
                         from obstacles. If God just fixed everything 
                         for us, then there'd be no point in 
                         our existence.  That's why he wouldn't 
                         show up to my New Year's party.

                         all this on my own.  I was overcome

                         him anything we want, like, "What's 
                         the meaning of life?" or "Why are we 
                         here?".

                          My child, you are a boy. Boys do not 
                         get periods. That's only for girls. 
                         Your friends were bleeding a little 
                         bit out of their asses because of an 
                         acute colon infection. And your friend 
                         Kyle simply lied about it.

                         You will hit puberty when the time is 
                         right. But you will never have a period, 
                         because you are a man — with titties. 
                         Thus spaketh the Lord. And now I return 
                         to heaven.

                         why God wasn't answering me before!

                         okay.  I guess now we can all celebrate
