A Chinese Jewish-American boy named Philip Goldstein (Albert Tsai), is the new student at Eddie's school and they are paired up in all activities because of their race, even though Eddie does not like Philip and vice-versa. Jessica, however, immediately likes Philip because he is academically successful, plays the cello and is a "good Chinese boy". Philip and Eddie make a deal that if Eddie takes Philip to see " Les Misérables " Philip will go along with Eddie to the Beastie Boys concert. Eventually Philip abandons Eddie and Eddie has to miss the concert looking for him, which Jessica tells him off for. She ends up taking Eddie to the concert the next day to make it up to him, and does not like it.
