Matt and his friends witness LBJ inform us of his plans not to rerun in the upcoming election. Upon hearing of his plans, everyone celebrates by smoking marijuana. An uncool student from next door is disturbed by the boys' racket, and upon being pelted with junk food by the boys for telling them to be quiet, he calls the police.
