Road Trip is a 2000 American comedy film written by Todd Phillips and Scot Armstrong and directed by Todd Phillips.
Josh (Breckin Meyer) and Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard) were long time friends but soon high school sweethearts. But they both had to face a long distance relationship when Josh enrolls to University of Ithaca and Tiffany enrolls to the University of Austin. But they made a promise to be true to each other and call each other every day. But when Tiffany doesn't call Josh, nor answering Josh's calls, Josh is worrying that Tiffany is seeing another man (actually, her maternal grandfather died). But to show that he is still in love with her, he makes a daily recorded video blog to her. During Josh's last blog, his friends Rubin Carver (Paulo Costanzo) and Barry Manilow (Tom Green) barge into the video. Barry then keeps checking on Rubin's snake, Mitch, urging Rubin to over-feed Mitch. Josh tells Rubin to mail in his blog tape to Tiffany before leaving to class.
During Josh's class time, Josh is flunking Ancient Philosophy class and needs a B+ on his mid-term to pass the semester. But Josh knows that he will flunk anyway. Still worrying about Tiffany, Josh's friend E.L. (Seann William Scott) encourages Josh to move on to another woman, such as Josh's friend Beth (Amy Smart) at his party. But Jacob, (Anthony Rapp) the teacher's assistant, has a huge crush on Beth and she even knows that Josh likes her. Unbeknownst to Josh, he is being set up by Jacob to fail Ancient Philosophy.
VERSE
I thought he was my partner
Less than lovers, more than friends
He said it wouldn't last
But like the cosmos, it never ends
They say he's going steady
With some woman that I don't know
I've never met this person
But I think that I should go and say hello
I wish that he'd step back
And weigh his options for what they're worth
She may be smart and pretty
Oh, but our love has orbited the earth
PRECHORUS
I will not let her take my place
I'm in a new kind of space race
CHORUS
But I don't tell my parents
And I don't tell my friends
I just grab some rubber tubing
And I pull on my Depends
And then I drive
It's time for a road trip
I've printed out these letters
That he sent her, and all of that
I've written these directions
To her house, so we might have a little chat
I'll take this airsoft pistol
Should she makes threats against my life
A wig and pepper spray
And this eight inch Gerber folding knife
PRECHORUS
I will not let my man pursue her
Now she will get what's coming to her
CHORUS
BRIDGE
She's just a captain in the Air Force
She's never been in outer space
I guess I'll have to go remind her
That I'm a g**damn astronaut
And she should know her place
I pass through the state border
And I'm welcomed by a sign
I can feel my heart pounding
in my temples - and justice will be mine
She's nowhere in the airport
Then I recognize her car
I see no reason why I should be fearful
I've already come this far
PRECHORUS
I will not let her victimize me
At this point nothing can surprise me
