OH!

? LET'S GET AWAY
FROM IT ALL ?

PA! BA DA!

IT WAS 1957.

WE WERE DRIVING
FROM FLORIDA TO UTAH.

AFTER MY MOTHER WAS
BEATEN UP BY HER BOYFRIEND,

WE GOT IN THE NASH



AND HIGH-TAILED IT
FOR THE URANIUM FIELDS.

WE'D GET RICH
AND CHANGE OUR LUCK,

WHICH HADN'T BEEN SO HOT

SINCE OUR FAMILY BROKE UP
FIVE YEARS BACK.

I SPY
WITH MY LITTLE EYE

SOMETHING
THAT BEGINS WITH...

"C."

CACTUS. CACTUS.

NOPE. NOPE.

NO?

UPWARDS.

UP, UP, UP IN THE...

CLOUDS. CLOUDS.

YAY!

O.K., YOUR TURN.

I WAS CAUGHT UP
IN MY MOTHER'S FREEDOM,

HER DELIGHT
IN HER FREEDOM.

SHE'D GET RICH ON URANIUM,

AND I WAS GOING TO
HELP HER.

? I'M GONNA WASH THAT MAN
RIGHT OUT OF MY HAIR ?

? AND SEND HIM ON HIS WAY

? I'M GONNA
WAVE THAT MAN ?

? RIGHT
OUT OF MY ARMS ?

? I'M GONNA WAVE THAT MAN
RIGHT OUT OF MY ARMS ?

? I'M GONNA WAVE THAT MAN
RIGHT OUT OF MY ARMS ?

? AND SEND HIM ON HIS WAY

? WE'LL TRAVEL ROUND
FROM TOWN TO TOWN ?

? WE'LL VISIT EVERY STATE

? AND I'LL REPEAT
THAT I LOVE YOU, SWEET ?

? IN ALL THE 48

HOW DOES THIS THING
WORK, ANYWAY?

WELL, I THINK IT
CAUSES LIKE A, UH...

IT MAKES
A BLACK LIGHT

THAT CAUSES URANIUM
TRACES TO GLOW.

SO WE CAN WALK ALONG
THE STREET

AND FIND SOME
GLOWING URANIUM?

WELL, IT WAS EVERYWHERE
IN MOAB, THEY SAY.

WE WERE TOO LATE
IN MOAB.

THAT GUY
AT THE OFFICE SAID

NOBODY'D FOUND ANY URANIUM
IN SALT LAKE CITY.

WELL, THAT MEANS
WE'LL PRETTY MUCH

HAVE THE PLACE
TO OURSELVES, HUH?

YEP.

GOD, THIS COULD BE A BIG
BREAK FOR US, HONEY.

I MEAN, IF THIS WORKS OUT,
JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

WE COULD GET
A REAL HOUSE,

AND I COULD GET RID
OF THIS DAMN NASH.

WE...WE'D HAVE NO
MORE MONEY WORRIES.

BE JUST LIKE HEAVEN
ON A JUNE DAY.

HEAVEN ON A JUNE DAY.

? LET'S

? GET AWAY

? FROM IT ALL

DAMN IT.

YOU KNOW, IF I HAD
ONE WISH RIGHT NOW,

ONLY ONE WISH, YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT WOULD BE?

I'D LIKE TO BURN THIS
GODDAMN NASH TO A CRISP.

I'M SERIOUS.
I HATE IT.

I HATE THE MAN
WHO INVENTED IT.

I HATE THE FACTORY
WHO PRODUCED IT.

ALMOST MAKES ME WANT
TO SEE ROY AGAIN.

HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD
MAKE IT STOP OVERHEATING.

MY GOD, HE WAS BORING.

BORING AND MEAN.

YOU SURE GOT CRAPPY TASTE
IN BOYFRIENDS.

COME ON. LET'S GO
GET RICH IN SALT LAKE.

[FATS DOMINO]
? BLUE MONDAY

? I HATE BLUE MONDAY

? HAVE TO WORK
LIKE A SLAVE ALL WEEK ?

? HERE COMES TUESDAY...

WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A MINUTE, NOW.

YOU'RE PULLING
MY LEG, RIGHT?

NO. WE CAME HERE
TO LOOK FOR URANIUM.

MY GOD, LADY. IF YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR URANIUM,

WHY DIDN'T YOU
GO TO MOAB?

OH, WE WENT THERE,

BUT EVERYBODY
HAD BEATEN US.

WE WERE
A LITTLE LATE.

SO YOU CAME HERE

JUST ON THE CHANCE
YOU'D FIND URANIUM?

YEAH.

LISTEN, YOU MIND ME
SAYING SOMETHING TO YOU

THAT MIGHT SOUND RUDE?

LADY,
YOU GOT MORE COURAGE

THAN YOU GOT
COMMON SENSE.

SO WHAT DID THE MAN SAY?

DON'T ASK.

[ENGINE WON'T START]

MY MOM HAD HER OWN WAY
OF SOLVING PROBLEMS.

SHE LEFT THEM BEHIND.

THAT'S WHAT SHE DID
WITH THE NASH.

JUST LEFT IT THERE.

THINGS ARE GOING TO
START LOOKING UP.

CAN YOU FEEL IT?

YEP.

I CAN FEEL IT.

THE GOOD TIMES
ARE COMING.

MY MOM HAD HIGH HOPES,
ESPECIALLY FOR ME.

I'D BEEN GIVING HER
NO END OF GRIEF

SINCE SHE LEFT DAD.

I DECIDED I WAS
GOING TO DO BETTER.

I WAS GOING TO HAVE
STRAIGHT-ARROW FRIENDS,

I WAS GOING TO GET
ALL As IN SCHOOL,

AND I WAS GOING
TO KEEP MY NOSE CLEAN.

I PROMISED IT,
AND I MEANT IT.

WE GENERALLY LIKE
TO GIVE NEW BOYS

THE BENEFIT
OF THE DOUBT,

BUT THIS IS THE SECOND
TIME IN 2 WEEKS

THAT YOU'VE
BEEN IN FRONT OF ME.

NOW, I THINK
YOU'D BETTER

GIVE YOUR MOTHER A CALL,

TELL HER
TO COME DOWN HERE.

SHE WORKS.

SHE'S WORKING.

IT WASN'T ME WHO BROKE
THEIR STUPID WINDOW.

OH, PLEASE.

OH, GEE,
THANKS A LOT.

BELIEVE
THEM INSTEAD OF ME.

IF YOU CARE ANYTHING
ABOUT ME AT ALL,

YOU'D JUST BE QUIET.

OH, YEAH. IF YOU CARED
ANYTHING ABOUT ME,

YOU WOULD HAVE STAYED
MARRIED TO DAD.

I DIDN'T REALLY
MEAN THAT.

I KNEW IT WASN'T TRUE.

MY FATHER
WENT HIS OWN WAY

A LONG TIME BEFORE THEY
ACTUALLY CALLED IT QUITS

AND TOOK MY OLDER BROTHER
GREGORY WITH HIM.

SOMETIMES I HAD
TO BLAME SOMEBODY,

AND SHE WAS
THE ONLY ONE THERE.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

7:00 ALMOST.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
WAKE ME UP?

I STARTED DINNER.
THE POTATOES ARE FRYING,

AND I'M HEATING UP
SOME HOT DOGS.

I'M SORRY.

I KNOW YOU ARE.

HONEY, I KNOW YOUR FATHER
DOESN'T CALL YOU

AND YOUR BROTHER
DOESN'T WRITE,

BUT, YOU KNOW,
IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

I KNOW.

O.K.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO.

HELLO, ROY.

OH!

A WINCHESTER. THANKS.

YEAH, I FOUND ME A ROOM,

BUT IT'S CLEAR THE HELL
AND GONE CROSSTOWN.

AND I THINK
I GOT A JOB LINED UP

DOING TUNE-UPS
AT A TEXACO STATION.

SO HOW YOU LIKE IT
AT WINSTEAD'S?

HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHERE I WORK, ROY?

I'VE BEEN HERE
ALMOST A WEEK.

MM-HMM.
MM-HMM.

AND YOU'VE BEEN
FOLLOWING ME AROUND...

FOR A WEEK.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

LIKE THAT RIFLE, TOBY?

BEST PRESENT
I EVER GOT.

I LOVE IT.
I'M GOING TO GO

PRETEND LIKE
I'M SHOOTING, MOM.

DON'T POINT THAT
THING AT ANYBODY,

OR I WON'T
TEACH YOU TO SHOOT.

IT'S NOT LOADED.

YOU HEARD ME.
ANYTHING OR ANYBODY.

IT'S GOT NO BULLETS,
FOR GOD'S SAKE.

DON'T MAKE ME
SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN.

FINE. I'LL JUST GO POINT IT
AT THE SKY AGAIN. POW.

DON'T.

ROY, DON'T.

DON'T, ROY.
TOBY'S STILL AWAKE.

YOU ARE ONE
SWEET THING, BABY.

IT'S JUST
THE SIGHT OF YOU

MAKES MY DICK HARD.

DON'T, ROY.

DON'T NOW.

HE'S NOT GOING TO
HEAR ANYTHING!

LOOK, I'M...

SORRY, BABY.
I'M SORRY.

COME ON. YOU KNOW
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.

I--

I'M JUST SO GLAD
TO SEE YOU, THAT'S ALL.

HUH?

[IMITATING GUNSHOTS]

[BEDSPRINGS SQUEAKING]

MOST AFTERNOONS I'D
WANDER AROUND IN A TRANCE.

SOMETIMES I'D GO DOWNTOWN

AND STARE
AT THE MERCHANDISE.

MAYBE I'D SHOPLIFT,
MAYBE NOT.

I USED TO IMAGINE

I SAW MY FATHER
COMING TOWARD ME

AND WAIT FOR HIM
TO RECOGNIZE ME.

I KNEW IT COULDN'T
BE HIM, THOUGH.

HE WAS LIVING BACK EAST,

MARRIED TO A RICH WOMAN.

HIS NICKNAME WAS DUKE,

AND THAT'S
HOW I THOUGHT OF HIM--

AS A DUKE LIVING
IN A CASTLE FAR AWAY.

A FEW MINUTES LATER,
I'D PICK SOMEONE ELSE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I'M HOME.

HI, HONEY.

WE GOING SOMEPLACE?

WE SURE ARE.

WHERE?

I DON'T KNOW.
YOU GOT ANY IDEAS?

PHOENIX.

GOOD. YOU KNOW,
I WAS THINKING PHOENIX,

OR MAYBE SEATTLE.

PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES
IN BOTH THOSE PLACES.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR FABULOUS
BOYFRIENDS?

WHAT ABOUT
THE FABULOUS BORING ROY?

IS HE COMING, TOO?

GOD, I HOPE NOT.

YOU KNOW, I LOOKED
OUT THE WINDOW

AT WORK TODAY.

HE WAS PARKED
ACROSS THE STREET

WATCHING ME.

SO UNCOOL.

OH, REALLY?
YOU DIDN'T SEEM

TO THINK SO
LAST NIGHT.

OH, I JUST LOVE
MY NEW RIFLE, ROY.

OH, IT'S JUST
THE BESTEST PRESENT

I EVER HAD.

SHUT UP.

[SIGHS]

THERE.

NOW?

WE'RE LEAVING NOW?

WHAT ABOUT
ALL THE FOOD?

LEAVE IT.

EVEN THE CANNED STUFF?

ARE YOU COMING
OR STAYING?

WA-HOO!

ASK WHEN THE NEXT ONE
TO PHOENIX IS.

UH, EXCUSE ME.

WHEN'S THE NEXT BUS
TO PHOENIX?

TOMORROW MORNING,
11:45.

HOW ABOUT SEATTLE?

YEAH. WHAT ABOUT
SEATTLE?

UH, LEAVES, UH, IN THREE--
NO, TWO MINUTES.

SO IS THIS THE BUS
TO SEATTLE?

YES, IT IS.

THANK YOU.
HURRY. COME ON.

SEATTLE,
HERE WE COME!

YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS HAD
A GOOD HEAD FOR FIGURES.

AND IF I COULD
GET A CPA LICENSE,

I BET WE COULD MAKE
A REAL GO OF IT IN SEATTLE.

OH, I KNOW WHAT.

I'LL ADVERTISE
FOR ROOMMATES.

I'LL BET WE FIND US
A REAL CUTE...

[FRANKIE LYMON] ? I'M NOT
A JUVENILE DELINQUENT ?

? NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO, NO, NO, NO ?

? NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO, NO, NO, NO ?

? NO, NO, NO

? I'M NOT
A JUVENILE DELINQUENT ?

? OO-WAH, OO-WAH, OO-WAH

? DO THE THING
THAT'S RIGHT ?

? AND YOU'LL DO
NOTHING WRONG ?

? LIFE WILL BE SO NICE

? YOU'LL BE IN PARADISE

? I KNOW

? BECAUSE I'M NOT
A JUVENILE DELINQUENT ?

HEY, TER.

HEY, JACK.

WHAT DID YOUR MOM
SAY

ABOUT SKIPPING
SCHOOL TODAY?

WHO LISTENS?

HA HA HA!

WANDA'S LAST NIGHT?

UH-HUH.

UH-HUH.

MAKE OUT GOOD?

UH-HUH.

HOW GOOD?

FUCKED HER
TILL HER NOSE BLED.

SURE YOU DID.

HEY, JACK, TERRY.

TERRY.

OH, LOOK. IT'S ELVIS,
ELVIS, AND ELVIS.

DOES YOUR FACE HURT?
'CAUSE IT'S KILLING ME.

SILVER.

ANYBODY HERE?

HELP! HELP!

HELP! HELP! I'M IN HERE!

HELP! HELP!

OH, LOIS. OH, BABY,

I GOT 6 HOT INCHES
JUST WAITING FOR YOU.

UNH! UNH!

OH, LOIS,

COME ON. YOU MAKE
MY DICK HARD, BABY. MMM.

YUM, YUM.

JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME,
SUPERMAN?

OH, LOIS. DADDY-O'S
GOING TO MAKE YOU HAPPY-O.

TIE THEM ROPES AROUND ME.

YOU COULDN'T EVEN
GET IT UP, SILVER.

[SLURP SLURP]

[HIGH VOICE]
OH! OH! OH!

WE HAD TO TALK DIRTY
FOR A WHILE.

IT WAS A FORMALITY,

LIKE CROSSING YOURSELF
WITH HOLY WATER

WHEN YOU WENT INTO CHURCH.

I WANT YOU TO GO BACK
TO THE OFFICE AND WAIT.

I HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO.

AND AFTER THAT, WE SHUT UP
AND WATCHED THE SHOW.

WE SOFTENED.
WE SURRENDERED.

WE WATCHED SUPERMAN
HAVE DUMB ADVENTURES

WITH DORKY PLOTS,

AND WE DIDN'T
LAUGH AT THEM.

OH!

WOW!

OH, GOSH.

IT'S MUCH BETTER
WITH THE BOW IN BACK.

OH, HE'LL LOVE YOU
IN THAT.

AND YOU SAY HE'S GETTING
SERIOUS ALREADY, HUH?

WELL, I THINK SO.

HE KEEPS TALKING TO ME
ABOUT MARRIAGE.

HE'S DYING TO MEET TOBY.

THAT'S IT. THREE DATES,
YOU'VE GOT HIM.

I'M NOT SO SURE
I WANT HIM.

DON'T WANT WHO?

WELL,
IT'S THE TOUGH GUY

WHO CAN'T BE BOTHERED
TO GO TO SCHOOL.

DON'T WANT WHO?

WELL, DWIGHT, HONEY.

YOU REMEMBER.
I TOLD YOU ABOUT HIM.

PLEASE USE A GLASS.

JACK LONDON BOOKS,

WELL, I'LL CALL HIM
ANYTHING HE WANTS.

I ALWAYS SAY PEOPLE CAN
CALL ME ANYTHING THEY WANT

AS LONG AS THEY DON'T
CALL ME LATE FOR SUPPER.

WOULD YOU LIKE
A CUP OF COFFEE

OR SOMETHING?

I BELIEVE I COULD STAND
A CUP OF JAVA, YEAH.

THANK YOU.

THE AIR IS LIKE WINE
UP AT MY PLACE.

I DON'T MIND SAYING
I WOULDN'T LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE,

AND THAT'S THE GOD'S
HONEST TRUTH.

THERE'S GOOD SCHOOLS,
THERE'S HONEST PEOPLE,

AND SOME OF THE FINEST
FISHING IN THE WORLD.

AND THERE'S HUNTING, TOO.

THERE'S GAME EVERYWHERE
YOU LOOK.

AND I DON'T THINK
I FLATTER MYSELF

BY SAYING I'M SOMETHING
OF A WHIZ WITH A RIFLE,

AND CONCRETE GIVES ME EVERY
OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE THAT.

DWIGHT KEPT BABBLING ON

ABOUT THE VIRTUES
OF CONCRETE,

BUT ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT
WAS SHOOTING THAT TURKEY.

SO HERE WE ARE.

WELCOME TO CONCRETE,
DWIGHT'S HOME SWEET HOME.

SOME OF THE FINEST PEOPLE

IN THE WHOLE STATE OF
WASHINGTON, YOU ASK ME,

AND THAT'S NO LIE.

LOTS OF CHURCHES,
TOO.

LOTS OF CHURCHES.

NEIGHBOR OF MINE
SAYS,

"LOOKING
FOR NICE CHURCHES?

COME TO CONCRETE.

LOOKING FOR SIN?
GO TO HELL."

I THINK
THAT'S FUNNY.

DON'T YOU? HUH?
JACK?

TOBY?
J-JACK, THAT IS?

JACK?

KIDS, THIS IS
MY PRETTY FRIEND

CAROLINE WOLFF
AND HER BOY

TOBY--UH,

THIS IS THE HOUSE.

THIS IS
THE LIVING ROOM,

AND, UH, OVER HERE
IS THE DINING ROOM,

AND PIANO...

AND, UH, THIS IS
THE KITCHEN OVER HERE.

I PLAN ON GETTING ALL
NEW FIXTURES IN HERE

AND THAT STUFF
WILL ALL BE TAKEN OUT.

IT'LL BE MUCH BIGGER
AND NICER.

AND, UH...

AND UP HERE

ARE THE THREE BEDROOMS
AND THE BATH.

PLENTY OF ROOM.

AND--OH, AND THIS IS, UH--

I--WELL, THIS IS, UH,
A KIND OF A LOUNGING AREA.

YOU KNOW, JUST IN CASE
YOU WANT TO, UH...

LOUNGE.

OVER THERE
IS WHERE I WORK.

JOE.

DWIGHT.

[CAROLINE]
HOW ABOUT YOU KIDS?

DO YOU LIKE IT HERE?

[KIDS]
IT'S FINE.

HI, JOHN.

DWIGHT.

[NORMA] IT'S A LITTLE
ISOLATED, IS ALL.

OH, COME ON, IT'S
NOT THAT ISOLATED.

YEAH, WELL,
IT'S NOT THAT ISOLATED.

PRETTY ISOLATED, THOUGH.

OH, THERE'S PLENTY
TO DO IN CONCRETE

IF YOU KIDS
WOULD TAKE

A LITTLE
INITIATIVE.

WHEN I WAS
GROWING UP,

WE DIDN'T HAVE TV.

WE HAD TO USE
OUR IMAGINATION.

WE READ
THE CLASSICS,

WE PLAYED MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTS.

SHOW ME
A BORED KID,

I'LL SHOW YOU
A LAZY KID.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU PLAYED A
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT, DWIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU PLAY?

OH, SAX.
TENOR SAX.

DO YOU?
OH, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE
QUITE WELCOME.

AND, UM, WHAT ABOUT
THE SCHOOLS?

HOW ARE THE SCHOOLS?

OH, THERE ISN'T ONE.
WE GO TO CHINOOK.

YEAH,
CHINOOK HIGH.

OH, YEAH, IT'S
A FEW MILES DOWNRIVER.

40 MILES.

40 MILES?

IT'S NOT THAT FAR.
IT'S NOT THAT FAR.

I CLOCKED IT.
IT'S 39 MILES.

COME ON, JUST
STOW IT NOW. LET'S GO.

[ARTHUR]
IT IS!

OH, YOU'RE BELLYACHING
FOR GODDAMN SCHOOLS

IN YOUR GODDAMN
BACKYARD,

AND YOU KNOW IT.

NOW JUST SHUT YOUR
GODDAMN PIE HOLE.

SO HOW BIG'S THIS
TURKEY GOING TO BE?

TURKEY SHOOT IS JUST
A FIGURE OF SPEECH.

OH, SO THERE'S
NO REAL TURKEY?

IT'S JUST REGULATION
PAPER TARGETS.

IT'S A TEST
OF SKILL.

AND I JUST FOUND OUT
YESTERDAY, JACK,

THAT THEY WON'T
LET KIDS SHOOT.

YOU SAID I COULD.

I KNOW.

THAT'S NOT FAIR.

YOU JUST SAID
THAT I COULD.

I--I KNOW, BUT...

THEY GOT IT ALL
SCREWED UP SOMEHOW

AND TOLD ME WRONG
AT FIRST.

OH, DWIGHT, YOU
DID TELL HIM.

I DON'T MAKE
THE RULES, CAROLINE.

IF I MADE THE RULES,

I MIGHT MAKE
DIFFERENT ONES,

BUT I DON'T
MAKE THE RULES.

O.K.

THAT'S O.K.,
HONEY.

DON'T WORRY.

YOU CAN WATCH.

[HONK HONK]

WHY AREN'T YOU GOING TO
GET TO SHOOT?

SHUT UP.

O.K.,
GOOD LUCK.

THANKS, JOHN.

WOLFF, PLEASE.
CAROLINE WOLFF.

YOU MEAN YOU WANT
TO ENTER, TOO?

UH-HUH.

I THINK IT'S
AGAINST THE RULES.

WELL, THAT SIGN SAYS
THIS IS AN NRA CLUB,

I'M A DUES-PAYING
NRA MEMBER.

THAT GIVES ME THE RIGHT

TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE ACTIVITIES

OF OTHER CHAPTERS.

WELL, YOU'RE THE ONLY
WOMAN SHOOTING.

FINE WITH ME.

THERE YOU GO.

THANKS.

I GOT IT.

OH, THANK YOU.

ALWAYS A FIRST TIME
FOR EVERYTHING.

84.

84.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

O.K.

DWIGHT! BLOW 'EM UP,
THERE, BUDDY.

COME ON, DWIGHT.
SHOW US YOUR STUFF.

REAL GOOD!

THANK YOU.

WHERE DID YOU LEARN THAT?

BEGINNER'S LUCK,
I GUESS.

WASN'T SHE GOOD?

WASN'T SHE GOOD, KIDS?

I'M REALLY IMPRESSED.

MY GUN--I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED.

BOLT'S NOT WORKING,

THE THIRD GUN I'VE BOUGHT--
JUST WON'T WORK RIGHT.

FUCKING THING.

THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.

WHAT GIVES?

MOM WON THE
TURKEY SHOOT.

OH, GOD.
NOW WE'RE IN FOR IT.

DAD THINKS HE'S SOME KIND
OF BIG HUNTER.

HE KILLED
A DEER ONCE.

THAT WAS WITH
THE CAR, PEARL.

UM, COULD YOU PASS

THE SALT AND PEPPER,
PEARL?

I GOT JUST ONE THING
TO SAY.

I'M SITTING AT THE TABLE

WITH THE BEST DAMN SHOT
IN THE COUNTY.

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN HER.

GOOD, TOBY.

JACK! SORRY.
JACK, JACK.

I KNOW.

THE VOICES RINGING ?

? THEY SEEMED TO SAY

? YOU HAVE STOLEN MY HEART

OLD SWEET SONG ?

? ON MOONLIGHT BAY

? WE WERE
SAILING ALONG... ?

I MEAN,

TURKEY'S HEAD OFF.

WITH A .22.

FUCKIN' "A."

WINCHESTER
.22 PUMP.

WOLFF, YOU'RE SO
FULL OF SHIT.

WELL, DON'T BELIEVE ME.
SEE IF I CARE.

ALL A .22 BULLET
WOULD DO

IS MAKE A LITTLE
HOLE IN HIS HEAD.

YEAH.
ONE BULLET, MAYBE.

OHH...

OH, I SEE.

SO YOU HIT THE TURKEY
MORE THAN ONCE,

WHILE HE WAS FLYING,

IN THE HEAD.

FUCK YOU.

FUCK YOU, TOO.

HEY...

SOUNDS]

OHH!

FUCK YOU.

FUCK YOU!

FUCK YOU, MAN.

FUCK YOU!

FUCK...

[CAROLINE]
WHAT DID HE DO?

HE VIOLATED
SCHOOL PROPERTY,

AND HE FLOUTED
THE LAW.

CAN YOU SAY THAT
IN ENGLISH, PLEASE?

HE WROTE OBSCENE WORDS
ON THE WALL.

DID YOU DO IT?

HE DIDN'T DO IT.

HE WROTE OBSCENE WORDS
ON THE WALL.

WHAT OBSCENE WORDS?

"FUCK YOU."

THAT'S ONE OBSCENE WORD.

LOOK, MRS. WOLFF...

JACK'S TEACHERS
LIKE HIM,

BUT THEY FEEL
HE'S FALLEN IN

WITH THE WRONG
KIND OF FRIENDS.

IS THAT
NICOTINE STAINS

ON YOUR FINGERS?

I HOPE NOT.

WELL, BACK
TO THE POINT.

I THINK TWO WEEKS'
SUSPENSION.

SO WHAT DO WE DO?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN WHAT
SHALL WE DO,

BECAUSE THIS
ISN'T WORKING.

WE BARELY HAVE
ANY MONEY,

KATHY'S
MOVING OUT NOW,

AND ON TOP OF IT ALL,
YOU'VE GONE WILD.

YOU LIE--

NO, I DON'T.

YES, YOU DO.

YOU'RE SMOKING
CIGARETTES.

YOU'RE STEALING
FROM MARIAN'S PURSE.

I CAN'T
HANDLE IT ANYMORE,

AND IT SCARES ME.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO,

SO YOU TELL ME.

I CAN BE BETTER,

AND I WILL BE.

I HATE THE WAY I AM.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I DO IT.

I TALKED TO DWIGHT
THE OTHER DAY, AND...

AFTER CHRISTMAS,

HE WANTS YOU TO
COME UP TO CONCRETE

AND LIVE WITH HIM
FOR A FEW MONTHS.

YOU KNOW, GO TO
SCHOOL UP THERE.

SO WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO,

JUST GIVE ME
AWAY TO HIM?

WELL, IF YOU TWO
GET ALONG

AND IF THINGS WORK OUT,

I, UM...

HE AND I
MIGHT GET MARRIED.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT ELSE TO DO,

BUT YOU HAVE TO
TELL ME IT'S O.K.

ALL RIGHT.

JUST THINK OF IT LIKE
AN ADVENTURE, O.K.?

[PERRY COMO]
? MAGIC

? MOMENTS

? WHEN TWO HEARTS ARE...

I PUT IN BOTH
YOUR SWEATERS.

SO MAKE SURE
YOU WEAR THEM.

'CAUSE IT GETS VERY CHILLY
UP THERE AT NIGHT.

O.K. I WILL.

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO
IF YOU DON'T WANT, HONEY.

IT'S--IT'S NOT TOO LATE
TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.

IT'S O.K.
I'LL GO.

[DOOR OPENS]

HERE I AM,
YOU LUCKY PEOPLE.

? MAGIC

? MOMENTS

? WHEN TWO HEARTS
ARE CARING ?

? TIME CAN'T ERASE

BYE.

? THE MEMORY OF

? THESE MAGIC

? MOMENTS

? FILLED WITH LOVE

[ROCK 'N' ROLL PLAYS]

[SNAPS RADIO OFF]

SORRY.

HEH HEH HEH.

[HORN HONKS]

I'M A LITTLE
SICK TO MY STOMACH.

SICK TO YOUR STOMACH?
A HOTSHOT LIKE YOU?

I'M NOT
A HOTSHOT.

THAT'S WHAT I HEAR.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

I HEAR YOU'RE
A REAL HOTSHOT.

COME AND GO
WHERE YOU WANT,

DO WHAT YOU WANT.

HUH?

ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

HUH?

YEAH, A REGULAR
MAN-ABOUT-TOWN.

PERFORMER, TOO.

IS THAT RIGHT, JACK?

ARE YOU A PERFORMER?

I HEAR YOU DO ME.

YEAH, I HEAR YOU'RE
REAL GOOD AT DOING ME.

IS THAT RIGHT?

NO, SIR.

THAT'S
A GODDAMN LIE.

IF THERE'S ONE THING
I CAN'T STOMACH,

IT'S A LIAR...JACK.

I'M NOT A LIAR.

SURE, YOU ARE.

YOU OR MARIAN.

IS MARIAN A LIAR?

SHE SAYS YOU'RE QUITE
THE LITTLE PERFORMER.

IS THAT A LIE?

NOW YOU TELL ME
THAT'S A LIE,

AND WE'LL DRIVE
RIGHT BACK TO SEATTLE

SO YOU CAN CALL HER
A LIAR TO HER FACE.

YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT?
HUH?

DID YOU HEAR
WHAT I SAID?

YOU WANT ME
TO DO THAT?

NO.

HUH, THEN YOU
MUST BE THE ONE

THAT'S A LIAR,
RIGHT?

AND YOU'RE
A PERFORMER.

HUH?

LET'S SEE YOUR ACT.

GO ON, DO YOUR ACT.

COME ON, LET'S SEE
YOUR ACT.

I CAN'T.

SURE, YOU CAN.

HERE.

DO ME WITH
THE LIGHTER.

GO ON, TAKE IT.

TAKE IT,
HOTSHOT.

TAKE IT!

GO ON, TAKE IT.

TAKE IT!

HOTSHOT.

YOU PULL THAT HOTSHOT
STUFF AROUND ME,

AND I'LL BREAK
EVERY BONE

IN YOUR GODDAMN BODY.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

AND I'LL POP
YOUR HEAD LIKE A ZIT.

YOU'RE IN FOR
A CHANGE, MISTER.

YOU'RE IN FOR A WHOLE
'NOTHER BALLGAME, BUDDY.

OH, YEAH.

[THUNDER AND RAIN]

SO, TOBY,
YOU'LL BE IN

MISS GRAHAM'S
CLASS, RIGHT?

YEAH.

UH, SHE NICE?

SHE'S O.K.
SHE'S PRETTY.

YEAH, I HATE
CHANGING SCHOOLS.

WELL, I'VE NEVER.

I'VE BEEN HERE
ALL MY LIFE.

SPEAKING OF CHANGING,

I HAD A TALK WITH JACK
ON THE WAY UP HERE,

AND HE--HE WANTS
TO BE A BETTER BOY.

THINGS WEREN'T GOING
TOO WELL FOR HIM IN SEATTLE.

THE POLICE ACTUALLY
CAME TO HIS HOUSE

AND HAD A TALK
WITH CAROLINE ABOUT HIM.

THAT'S RIGHT...
THE POLICE.

SO HERE'S
WHAT I THINK...

CRIMINAL.

IDLE HANDS
ARE THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP,

SO I FOUND OUR JACK
A LITTLE SOMETHING TO DO.

I PICKED UP
TWO BARRELS

OF HORSE CHESTNUTS
IN THE PARK,

AND YOU CAN SPEND YOUR
EVENINGS HULLING THEM.

I ALSO ENROLLED YOU
IN THE BOY SCOUTS.

I GOT YOU A PAPER ROUTE.

IT STARTS EVERY MONDAY
FROM 3:00 TO 6:30.

EVERY AFTERNOON,
3:00 TO 6:30.

PAYS 55 BUCKS A MONTH.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I'LL DO IT.

I WANT TO BE BETTER.

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR.

O.K., YOU GUYS, LET'S
GET THIS PLACE CLEANED UP.

LET'S GET THE DISHES
GOING. COME ON.

LET'S SHOW JACK
HOW WE DO IT IN CONCRETE.

JACK...

LET'S GO, COME ON.

[NAT KING COLE]
? SMILE

? THOUGH YOUR HEART
IS ACHING ?

? SMILE EVEN THOUGH
IT'S BREAKING ?

? WHEN THERE ARE CLOUDS

? IN THE SKY

? YOU'LL GET BY

? IF YOU SMILE THROUGH
YOUR FEAR AND SORROW ?

? SMILE,
AND MAYBE TOMORROW ?

? YOU'LL FIND THAT LIFE
IS STILL WORTHWHILE ?

? IF YOU JUST SMILE

'CAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE
THAT CRAP, YOU KNOW.

I BELIEVE THERE IS SUCH
A THING AS A BAD BOY,

BAD CLEAR THROUGH.

IT'S GOING TO BE MY JOB
TO TURN YOU AROUND,

TO SET YOU STRAIGHT.

THAT'S RIGHT...
TO KILL OR CURE.

KILL OR CURE.

CAROLINE TOLD ME
ALL ABOUT YOUR RICH DADDY

AND YOUR
PREP-SCHOOL BROTHER.

WELL, YOUR FANCY DAYS
ARE OVER.

YOU'RE A CONCRETE BOY NOW.

? THAT'S THE TIME
YOU MUST KEEP ON TRYING ?

? SMILE, WHAT'S THE USE
OF CRYING? ?

? YOU'LL FIND THAT LIFE
IS STILL WORTHWHILE ?

? IF YOU

? JUST SMILE

I'M GOING TO GET YOU
A SCOUT UNIFORM, JACK.

REALLY?

I'M GETTING ONE
FOR ME, TOO.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN
DOING ANYTHING HALFWAY.

IF YOU'RE SERIOUS
ABOUT THE SCOUTS...

I AM, I AM.

THEN I WANT YOU
TO DO IT RIGHT.

WE'LL DO IT RIGHT
TOGETHER.

I GOT YOU A
SUBSCRIPTION TO THIS.

I'LL TAKE THE PRICE

OUT OF YOUR
PAPER ROUTE MONEY.

BOYS' MAGAZINE?

IT'S THE
SCOUT MAGAZINE.

IT TELLS ABOUT
WHAT IT MEANS

TO BE A SCOUT,

WHAT KIND OF BOY
YOU NEED TO BE,

YOU KNOW,
ABOUT MERIT BADGES

AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

"SUGGESTED GOOD TURNS
A SCOUT CAN DO--

"ASSIST A FOREIGN BOY

"WITH SOME
ENGLISH GRAMMAR,

"HELP PUT OUT
A BURNING FIELD,

AND GIVE WATER
TO A CRIPPLED DOG."

I COULD DO THOSE.

HELL, YES, YOU COULD.
YOU'RE A BRIGHT KID,

AND I WANT
THIS SCOUT THING

DONE RIGHT, O.K.?

O.K.

I'M NOT GOING.

THE HELL, YOU SAY.

I'M NOT! THIS IS
SKIPPER'S OLD STUFF,

AND IT DOESN'T FIT.

I'M STAYING HOME!

YOU'RE GOING TO SHIT
AND FALL BACK IN IT.

THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GONNA DO.
NOW GET OUT HERE.

LOOK.

SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE.

YOU LOOK FINE.

I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT.

YOU ACT LIKE
AN IDIOT.

YOU LOOK FINE.

HEY, YOU SAID YOU'D GET ME
A NEW UNIFORM.

I SAID I'D TRY TO
GET YOU A NEW UNIFORM.

BESIDES,
THIS ONE IS NEW.

IT'S NEW TO YOU.

LOOK--LOOK AT THE SLEEVES!
LOOK AT 'EM!

OH, PISS AND MOAN.

ALL YOU CAN DO
IS PISS AND MOAN.

YEAH, PISS AND MOAN.

I NOTICE YOU'RE ALL
JAZZED UP IN NEW STUFF.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE
SECONDHAND UNIFORMS

IN MY SIZE.

OH, YEAH.
PULL THE OTHER LEG.

IT'S GOT BELLS ON IT.

AND ARE YOU GONNA TELL
CAROLINE THIS WEEKEND, HUH?

ARE YOU GONNA SAY
YOU WOULDN'T JOIN THE SCOUTS

'CAUSE HIM DIDN'T LIKE
HIS LITTLE UNIFORM?

HUH?

O.K.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU
SOMETHING.

"WORDS FOR THOUGHT--

"NO BOY GIVEN OVER TO
DISSIPATION OR NEGATIVITY

"CAN STAND THE GAFF.

"HE QUICKLY TIRES
AND GIVES UP.

"HE IS THE TYPE WHO
USUALLY LACKS COURAGE

"AT THE CRUCIAL MOMENT.

"HE CANNOT
TAKE PUNISHMENT

AND COME BACK SMILING."

SEE ANYBODY WE KNOW?

HUH?

HOTSHOT?

ANYBODY WE KNOW?

FINE,
BUT THIS STINKS.

HOTSHOT,
YOU DON'T KNOW IT YET,

BUT ME AND CONCRETE
ARE IN YOUR BLOOD.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
A MAN OF YOU YET.

IN YEARS TO COME,
YOU'LL THANK ME.

YOU'LL REMEMBER ME--
ME AND CONCRETE, RIGHT?

HOW DO I LOOK?

YOU LOOK FINE, DAD.

FIRE.

FOOD.

RAPIDS.

WANT.

PEOPLE.

TWINKLE.

FATHER.

WE ARE GATHERED TOGETHER
HERE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD

TO JOIN TOGETHER
THIS MAN AND THIS WOMAN

IN THE STATE
OF HOLY MATRIMONY.

IT IS AN HONORABLE ESTATE,
INSTITUTED OF GOD

AND SIGNIFYING UNTO US

THE MYSTICAL UNION

WHICH EXISTS BETWEEN CHRIST
AND HIS CHURCH.

IT IS THEREFORE NOT TO BE
ENTERED INTO LIGHTLY,

BUT REVERENTLY
AND DISCREETLY

AND IN THE FEAR OF GOD.

EH, SHE'S

PROBABLY TAKES A PEE
LIKE ONE, TOO.

YEAH. JUST
SQUATS RIGHT DOWN.

YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID?

HE MOUTHED OFF
TO ME THE OTHER DAY.

I WAS GOING TO
FUCKING SOCK HIM ONE.

HE CALLED ME A...
BOURGEOIS.

WHAT THE HECK'S
A BOURGEOIS?

I DON'T KNOW.

HEY. HEY,
CALL HIM A HOMO.

WHY?

JUST SEE
WHAT HE SAYS.

MY, MY.
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

ELMER FUDD AND
HIS HUNTING BOYS.

LOOK AT ALL
THAT YELLOW.

WHY DIDN'T YOUR MAMA
TEACH YOU

TO WASH YOUR
HANDS AFTER YOU PEE?

[LAUGHTER]

SHUT UP.

STRIKE ONE.

OOH,
THAT WAS VERY GOOD.

VERY ORIGINAL.

DID YOU JUST
MAKE THAT UP?

THAT WAS VERY,
VERY CLEVER.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST
FUCK OFF, DICK LICK?

EXCUSE ME!

WHOO!

HASN'T ANYONE
EVER TOLD YOU

YOU LOOK
EXACTLY LIKE

A PILE OF
STEAMING DOG TURD?

YEAH?

WELL, AT LEAST I'M NOT
A GREAT BIG HOMO.

GET HIM OFF!

COME ON!

YOU'RE NOT A HOMO.

COME ON, PEPPER.

WELL!

SO!

HA HA.

WHO WON?

HE'S THE ONE WHO CAN'T
SEE OUT OF ONE EYE.

HOT DAMN!

YOU ACTUALLY GAVE LITTLE
LORD GAYLE A BLACK EYE?

HUH?

YEAH, BUT IT'S
NOT BLACK YET.

BUT IT'S ALL PUFFED UP?

THEN IT'S A SHINER,
RIGHT?

RIGHT?

MM-HMM.

HOW'D IT START?

WELL, I CALLED
HIM A SISSY.

HE SURE AS HELL CAN'T
SUE YOU FOR SLANDER.

THE BOY FIGHTS FOR THE PINK
TEAM, WE ALL KNOW THAT.

THE GODDAMN KID'S QUEER.
SO DID YOU MAKE HIM CRY?

YEAH, HE WAS READY TO.

I CALLED HIM A BIG ASS,
SQUAT-TO-PEE SISSY.

YEAH, I'D HAVE
WENT BIGGER,

EXCEPT HE HIT ME
WHEN I WASN'T LOOKING.

HE DRY-GULCHED YOU?

NOW WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S YOUR FAULT.

YOU GOTTA KEEP
YOUR GUARD UP.

THERE'S NO EXCUSE
FOR GETTING DRY-GULCHED.

YOU GOT ME? NO EXCUSE FOR
GETTING DRY-GULCHED.

I'M GONNA SHOW YOU A COUPLE
OF MOVES AFTER SUPPER

THAT'LL LEAVE
MISS ARTHUR GAYLE

WONDERING
WHAT MONTH IT IS. OK?

I SAID TO THIS KID,

I SAID, "WHY DON'T YOU
STOP DOING THAT?"

HE SAID, "WELL,
WHAT BUSINESS IS IT TO YOU?"

AND I SAID, "BECAUSE I DON'T
THINK IT'S REALLY RIGHT."

AND HE SAID, "WELL, WHAT ARE
YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?"

I SAID, "WELL, I JUST
MIGHT DO SOMETHING."

HE SAID, "YOU
AND WHO ELSE'S ARMY?"

I SAID, "THE THREE OF US--
ME, MYSELF, AND I."

WELL, AFTER SCHOOL,

HE'S WAITING FOR ME.
HE YELLS SOMETHING.

I TELL YOU, PEOPLE LIKE THAT,
YOU GOT TO HURT THEM.

YOU GOT TO
INFLICT PAIN,

OR THEY'LL NEVER
LEAVE YOU ALONE.

NEVER, NEVER EVER
LEAVE YOU ALONE.

SO IT WAS REAL
HOT OUT, O.K.?

THERE WERE THESE HORSE TURDS
LAYING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

YOU KNOW, "ROAD APPLES?"

SO I PICKED UP
A NICE, BIG, MUSHY ONE,

AND I GO UP TO HIM.

BUT, YOU KNOW,
NOT ACTING TOUGH,

ACTING MORE LIKE,
"OH, GEE, I'M SO SCARED.

PLEASE DON'T HURT ME."

SORT OF LIKE THIS,
YOU KNOW.

MINDING MY BUSINESS,
AND I SAY TO HIM,

"EXCUSE ME, BUT WHAT'S
THE PROBLEM?"

AND HE GOES,
"BLAH BLAH BLAH, YOU BLAH--"

AND I GO WHAM!

AND I JAM THAT HORSE TURD
IN HIS FAT MOUTH.

THEN I SUCKER PUNCH HIM OVER
HERE AND BOOM! HE GOES DOWN,

AND I KICK HIM IN THE FACE,

JUMP ON HIS HEAD
A COUPLE OF TIMES

THEN I PICK UP
ANOTHER HORSE TURD,

JAM IT DOWN HIS THROAT,

AND KICK HIS FUCKING
TEETH A COUPLE OF TIMES.

THAT WAS THE END OF IT.
NEVER BOTHERED ME AGAIN.

PIECE OF SHIT.

JUST A LITTLE TALE.

DO IT AGAIN.
THAT'S IT. AGAIN.

NOW TRY FOR MY FACE.

THAT'S IT.

KEEP YOURSELF OPEN.
RIGHT.

KEEP IT OPEN. OPEN.

THAT'S IT, WIDE OPEN.

O.K...

1, 2, 3, 4, WHOO!

OW! OHH!

THIS IS NOTHING
COMPARED

TO WHAT YOU'RE
GOING TO GET, DAMN IT.

KEEP THAT GUARD UP.

WHEN YOU GO LIKE THAT,
BRING IT BACK.

KEEP YOUR GUARD UP.

KEEP YOUR GUARD UP!
NOW TRY IT WITH A JAB.

COME ON, TRY IT.

LITTLE MISS JACKIE WOLFF?

OH, MY. GO, JACKIE.

HEH HEH.

WELL, THAT'S GREAT.

CAROLINE,
ARE YOU O.K.?

NO, I'M FINE.
THINGS ARE...JUST FINE.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID
YOU WERE GOING TO

TEACH ME HOW
TO DRY-GULCH SOMEBODY.

O.K. O.K.

NOW, YOU CAN
ALWAYS KICK SOMEBODY

IN THE BALLS, RIGHT?

BUT I LIKE
THIS ONE BETTER.

WHAT YOU DO IS,
YOU HIT THEM IN THE THROAT

WITH THE SIDE OF
YOUR FOREARM LIKE THAT.

YOU WAIT TILL--HA!

NOW THAT'S DRY-GULCHING.

YOU HIT THEM
IN THE THROAT,

BUT YOU DO IT BEFORE
THEY'RE EXPECTING IT.

YOU GOT THAT?

BEFORE THEY'RE
EXPECTING IT. AAH!

YOU GOT THAT?
O.K., NOW, YOU TRY IT.

COME ON. YOU TRY IT.

NO.
DON'T BE AFRAID.

YOU'RE GOING TO

GODDAMN FUCKING LIFE,

QUITTER! YOU'RE GOING
TO BE A GODDAMN QUITTER?

LET'S GO!
COME ON, DAMN YOU.

DON'T GO ALL SHY
AND DELICATE ON ME NOW.

YOU'RE ACTING AS SISSY

I'M GOING TO CALL YOU
LITTLE MISS JACKIE WOLFF.

OH, MY, YES.
OH, JACKIE.

OH, MY, YES. ? LITTLE MISS

LET'S DO IT.

AW, JESUS CHRIST. IF YOU'RE
GOING TO ACT LIKE A--

HA!

JUST ABOUT GOT
DRY-GULCHED, MISTER.

ASK HIM AGAIN. PLEASE.
I NEED IT SO MUCH.

I ASKED HIM ALREADY.

I ASKED HIM LAST WEEK.
I ASKED HIM THIS MORNING.

HE WANTS YOU TO KEEP
THAT PAPER ROUTE.

THEN MAKE HIM
GIVE ME THE MONEY.

I MEAN, IT'S MINE,
AND I EARNED IT.

IT'S $220 ALREADY.

HE WON'T DO IT, JACK.
HE SAYS

HE WANTS TO KEEP IT FOR
WHEN YOU REALLY NEED IT.

AW, IT'S NOT FAIR!

I OUGHT TO BE ABLE
TO KEEP MY OWN MONEY!

BUT IT'S MINE, MOM!

AT LEAST ASK HIM
ABOUT MY GYM SHOES.

I MEAN, I CAN
PRACTICE BAREFOOT,

BUT FOR GAMES,
I GOT TO HAVE SHOES.

I WON'T DO IT, JACK.
I WON'T BE A REFEREE.

OH, OH.
THE BRIDE WON'T ARGUE.

THE BRIDE WON'T EVEN
RAISE HER VOICE, HUH?

NO, BUT I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT THE BRIDE WILL DO.

THE BRIDE WILL GET UP
AND GO OVER THERE

AND SLAP THE HELL
OUT OF THE BRIDE'S SON.

NOW DOES THE BRIDE'S SON
WANT HIS FACE SLAPPED?

I HATE IT HERE.
YOU KNOW THAT?

I HATE IT HERE.

I WANT TO JUST
GET UP AND GO.

I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER
GET UP AND GO LEFT IN ME!

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

I CAN'T RUN ANYMORE,
JACK!

I'VE HIT A BRICK WALL HERE.

NOW THIS WHOLE THING

ISN'T EXACTLY PERFECT
FOR ME, EITHER.

LET ME IMPRESS THAT
ON YOU REAL STRONG, O.K.?

I DON'T EXACTLY WAKE UP
SINGING EVERY MORNING.

HONEY, I KNOW YOU
DON'T BELIEVE ME NOW,

BUT IT'S THE BEST THING.

O.K.?

I'M GOING TO MAKE
THIS MARRIAGE WORK.

I WON'T JOIN
IN ANY FIGHTS.

I WON'T EVEN
RAISE MY VOICE.

DO YOU SEE THESE?

HE PICKED THEM FOR ME
LAST NIGHT

ON HIS WAY HOME
FROM WORK.

BIG DEAL.

I'M JUST TRYING
TO CONCENTRATE

ON THE GOOD STUFF.

? TA-DA

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YEAH, I THINK I LOOK
LIKE A FOOL, TOO.

BUT WHO CARES?

SIX WEEKS TO GRADUATION.
CALIFORNIA, HERE I COME.

YOU HAVE TO TRY
AND CONCENTRATE

ON THE GOOD STUFF.

COME ON.

OH. HI.

YOU LIKE MY DOG?

YEAH.

IT'S NICE.

HE'S SMART, TOO.
HE CAN TALK.

SURE. I JUST ABOUT
BELIEVE YOU.

PEPPER,
WHAT'S ON A TREE?

[BARK]

BARK.

HMM.

PEPPER, I WANNA
ASK YOU SOMETHIN'.

HOW'S THE
WORLD TREATING YOU?

[RUFF]

ROUGH? HMM.

I KNOW HOW YOU MEAN.

THAT'S DUMB.

A LITTLE FUNNY,
THOUGH.

SO HOW COME YOUR DAD NEVER
COMES TO MEETINGS WITH YOU?

I DON'T HAVE A DAD.

I NEVER DID.

I SPRANG FULL-BLOWN FROM
MY MOTHER'S IMAGINATION.

YOU WANT TO WALK HOME
WITH ME AND PEPPER?

I KNEW I'D LIKE YOU,

'CAUSE YOU'RE AN ALIEN.

AN ALIEN?

YOU DON'T BELONG IN CONCRETE
ANY MORE THAN I DO.

I MEAN, THIS PLACE
WOULD LIKE TO KILL US

'CAUSE WE'RE DIFFERENT.

OH, COME ON, ARTHUR.
THAT'S A LITTLE DRAMATIC.

YOU THINK SO?

YEAH.

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT CHICKENS DO

WHEN ONE CHICKEN'S BORN
WITH A LITTLE DIFFERENCE?

OR WITH A COUPLE BLACK FEATHERS
ON ITS HEAD, SAY?

THEY PECK AT THAT BLACK SPOT
TILL THE CHICKEN'S DEAD.

I MEAN, THEY CAN'T STAND
THE FACT THAT IT'S DIFFERENT.

WE'RE BOTH DIFFERENT.
I MEAN, YOUR DIFFERENCE

IS SOMETHING OTHER
THAN MY DIFFERENCE,

BUT WE'RE
BOTH ALIENS HERE.

SEE, I DON'T EXACTLY
FEEL LIKE AN ALIEN.

I'VE GOT FRIENDS,
YOU KNOW.

THEY'RE IDIOTS.

YOU ACT LIKE AN IDIOT
WHEN YOU'RE AROUND THEM.

A PREDICTION--

IF YOU STAY IN CONCRETE,

YOU'LL WIND UP
WORKING AT THE A&P.

EITHER THAT OR
YOU'LL GO ON A RAMPAGE

WITH A HUNTING RIFLE.

OH, YEAH,
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

AND YOU'LL WIND UP
A RECLUSE

THAT EVERYBODY SAYS
LIKES TO DRESS UP

IN HIS MAMA'S
OLD CLOTHES.

HA HA HA.
MAYBE.

MAYBE.

AH, ONE THING I KNOW...

NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES
I REPEAT...

MY PRIMARY GOAL IS
TO GET OUT OF CONCRETE.

BURMA SHAVE.

? BECAUSE

[SAXOPHONE PLAYS]

? GOD MADE THEE MINE

[MUSIC PLAYS]

SEE, HONEY? YOU GOT TO TRY
AND FIND THE GOOD STUFF.

YOU'RE A GODDAMN HOG!
DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE NOT!

HOW DO YOU KNOW
SKIPPER DIDN'T DO IT?

OR NORMA OR EVEN PEARL?

I TOLD ALL THREE OF THEM

TO STAY AWAY FROM
THIS CANDY FOR 24 HOURS.

HOW DO YOU KNOW
I EVEN ATE ANY?

'CAUSE I COUNTED THEM.
YOU HOGGED DOWN

11 CHOCOLATE-COVERED
CHERRIES

SINCE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

SO WHAT?

SO THAT MAKES
YOU A HOG!

I JUST WANT TO
ESTABLISH THAT FACT.

AND NOW I HAVE.

HEY, MR. HOT-SHOT
HOG AND I HAVE JUST

BEEN ESTABLISHING
SOME FACTS.

AND WHAT WE'VE COME
UP WITH IS THIS.

1--HE'S A PIG

WHO GOBBLES DOWN
EVERYBODY'S CANDY.

2--HE LIES ABOUT IT.

3--HE LAYS AROUND
ON HIS CANDY ASS

DAY AND NIGHT
READING AND READING.

AND 4--
HE'S NOT GETTING

ANY $10 GYM SHOES.

THAT'S ABOUT
WHAT WE'VE

COME UP WITH SO FAR.
NAH, NAH, NAH.

AW, DAD, WHY DON'T YOU
JUST LAY OFF?

DON'T GIVE ME
THAT "AW, DAD" SHIT.

NOW YOU SHUT YOUR
GODDAMN PIE HOLE!

HOW COME YOU NEVER
TAKE UP FOR ME, HUH?

WHY THE HELL DON'T
YOU EVER HELP ME

STRAIGHTEN
THAT DAMN BOY OUT?

I MEAN,
ALL HE EVER DOES

IS READ OR LISTEN
TO MUSIC OR SING.

I'M SO SICK OF IT.

? BLUE MONDAY,
BLUE MONDAY ?

I'M SO SICK
OF THAT SHIT!

AND WHEN
HE'S NOT SINGING,

YOU KNOW
WHAT HE'S DOING?

HE'S WATCHING TV, AND
DON'T SAY YOU DON'T.

'CAUSE WHEN I COME HOME,

I ALWAYS PUT MY HAND
ON TOP OF THE TV

TO SEE IF IT'S WARM.

AND IT ALWAYS IS!

THIS IS THE NEWS, KID.

I JUST WANT YOU TO
KNOW I'M WISE TO YOU!

BIG DEAL. SO WHAT?

AS LONG AS WE'RE
PASSING OUT NEWS,

I DON'T WANT TO DO
MY PAPER ROUTE.

I BET YOU DON'T,

BIG LAZY, CANDY HOG
LIKE YOU.

YOU'D RATHER
LAY ON YOUR ASS

AND READ ALL DAY,
WOULDN'T YOU?

WELL, LET ME
TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU'RE GOING TO DELIVER
THOSE GODDAMN PAPERS

IF I HAVE TO WALK
BEHIND YOU

WITH A HORSE WHIP
EVERY STEP

OF THE GODDAMN WAY.

OH, YEAH? YEAH?

THEN GIVE ME THE MONEY
THAT I EARNED!

OH, NO. I'M PUTTING THAT
IN THE BANK FOR YOU

FOR WHEN
YOU REALLY NEED IT.

CUSS ME NOW,
THANK ME LATER.

YOU'D SPEND THAT MONEY
IN A GODDAMN SECOND.

HOW CAN I PLAY BASKETBALL
WITHOUT ANY GYM...

IT'S NOT THE SHOES,
IS IT...

OR THE CANDY
OR ANYTHING ELSE?

IT'S ME, ISN'T IT?

YOU CAN'T STAND
THE FACT THAT I EXIST.

NO, IT'S NOT THAT AT ALL.
IT'S JUST THAT I...

NO, I...YOU JUST HAVE
TO BE WELL-BEHAVED.

YOUR RICH DADDY DUKE
DOESN'T CARE ANYTHING ABOUT YOU,

SO SOMEBODY'S
GOT TO TRAIN YOU,

AND ONE OF THE THINGS
YOU'VE GOT TO BE TRAINED IN

IS NOT TO BE A FUCKING HOG

AND HOG EVERYBODY'S CANDY
LIKE A FUCKING HOG!

OH! OH! OH! OH!

WHAT'S THE MATTER, HONEY?

I WILL NOT REFEREE!

UM, JACK...I THINK
YOU'VE UPSET YOUR MOTHER,

SO WHY DON'T WE
JUST GO ON TO SCOUTS

AND LET HER REST A WHILE?

HONEY, YOU JUST LAY DOWN,
AND YOU REST A WHILE.

NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID.

YOU GOT HER UPSET, TOO.

[DOOR SLAMS]

CHECK FOR
THE TONGUE TONIGHT.

YOU FORGOT IT
LAST WEEK.

OTHERWISE, YOU WON'T GET
YOUR LIFESAVING BADGE.

YOU HEAR ME?

? I WANDERED TODAY
TO THE HILL, MAGGIE ?

? TO WATCH THE SCENE
BELOW BELOW BELOW BELOW ?

? AND THE CREEK
AND OLD MILL ?

? MAGGIE

? AS WE USED TO
LONG, LONG AGO ?

[DOG BARKS]

? THE GREEN GROVE IS GONE
FROM THE HILL ?

? MAGGIE

? SINCE THE DAISIES
SPRUNG ?

? AND THE MILL IS STILL,
MAGGIE ?

? AS YOU AND I
WERE YOUNG ?

? DA DA DA DA

[PLAYING PIANO]

[DOG GROWLS]

[DOG BARKS]

[PLAYING PIANO]

? BLUE MONDAY

? BLUE MONDAY

? HOW I HATE
BLUE MONDAY... ?

[DOG SNARLS]

[TELEVISION]
WONDERFUL IDEA...

[LUCY]
YOU KNOW, WE CAN BOTH--

[ETHEL]
WAIT JUST A MINUTE.

FORGET I EVER SAID IT.

WHOSE DOG IS THAT
ON THE PORCH?

YOURS.

MINE?

YEAH, YOU SAID
YOU WANTED A DOG.

A COLLIE, THOUGH,
NOT THAT THING.

WELL, HE'S YOURS.
YOU PAID FOR HIM.

GO GET READY
FOR NORMA'S PLAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
I PAID FOR HIM?

WHAT ARE YOU GOING AS,
A LAMB CHOP?

[AUDIENCE LAUGHTER]

THERE'S AN OLD-FASHIONED...

MY WINCHESTER'S GONE.

THAT DOG IS PUREBRED
ENGLISH BULLDOG.

IT'S A CHAMPION.

AND DON'T EVER
FORGET THAT.

SO? I DON'T WANT IT.

WELL, YOU'RE TRULY
OUT OF LUCK THEN,

BECAUSE THAT RIFLE'S
ON ITS WAY TO SEATTLE.

I WANT MY RIFLE.

WELL, WANT IN ONE HAND,
SHIT IN THE OTHER,

SEE WHICH
GETS FULL FIRST.

DWIGHT, THAT WINCHESTER
WAS MINE.

AND CHAMP
IS YOUR DOG.

JESUS, YOU KNOW,

I TRADE SOME
OLD PIECE OF CRAP

FOR A VALUABLE
HUNTING DOG,

AND ALL YOU CAN DO
IS PISS AND MOAN.

I'M NOT PISSING
AND MOANING.

THE HELL YOU AREN'T.

I MEAN,
YOU CAN JUST

MAKE YOUR OWN DEALS
FROM NOW ON.

[ETHEL]
OH, ALL RIGHT.

I SAID DON'T...

DON'T EVER
TOUCH ME AGAIN.

I'M ABSOLUTELY FINISHED.
THIS IS THE END.

AND I WANT YOU
TO GET OUT.

THIS WAS
THE IMPASSIONED TESTIMONY

THAT HELPED SWAY THE JURY
TO ACQUIT 14-YEAR-OLD

CHERYL CRANE OF THE MURDER
OF JOHNNY STOMPANATO--

BOYFRIEND
OF CHERYL'S MOTHER,

HOLLYWOOD FILM STAR
LANA TURNER.

THE JURY RETURNED A VERDICT
OF JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE

AFTER A SHORT DELIBERATION,

ALLOWING YOUNG CHERYL
TO GO FREE

FOR THE KILLING
OF STOMPANATO.

THE STABBING OCCURRED
IN THE MIDST

OF A HEATED ARGUMENT
WHEN THE 14-YEAR-OLD

GRABBED A KNIFE
AND SAID TO HER MOTHER,

"YOU DON'T HAVE
TO TAKE THAT,"

PLUNGING IT
INTO THE STOMACH

OF THE UNSUSPECTING
JOHNNY STOMPANATO.

HIS THREATENING BEHAVIOR
WAS CLEARLY A FACTOR

IN THE JURY'S
REACHING A VERDICT

OF JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.

A VIOLENT FINAL CHAPTER
IN THE STORMY AFFAIR

ENDS IN THE FAMOUS
PINK BEDROOM

OF LANA TURNER'S
BEVERLY HILLS MANSION.

A FUNNY PINGING NOISE
IN THE ENGINE, DID YOU?

GOD, LOOK AT ME.
I GOTTA SHAVE.

I LOOK TERRIBLE. HUH?

UH, WHAT ENGINE?

OH, BECAUSE I WAS DOWNTOWN
WITH CHAMP THIS MORNING,

AND I MET A GUY
WHO SAID HE RECOGNIZED HIM.

SAID HE'D SEEN MY DOG
THIS VERY MORNING.

AND HE TOLD ME
AN INTERESTING STORY

HOW HE AND THE DOG
HAPPENED TO MEET,

AND I THOUGHT MAYBE
YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT?

MMM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

STEAL MY CAR?

SKIPPER AND NORMA
LEFT CONCRETE

AND MOVED TO SEATTLE.

I WAS GONNA GET OUT,

BUT IN THE MEANTIME,
I MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS.

AHH. GORILLA BLOOD.

PSYCHO, SHUT UP.

FUCK YOU.

HEY, LOOK, THERE GOES
CAROL BAUMGARTEN.

ISN'T SHE SWEET?

SHE'S OUT FOR WOLFF.

YEAH, YEAH, I WISH.

WON'T DO ANY GOOD, THOUGH.

JACK'S SAVING HIMSELF

ABOUT RHEA?

HE SAID EVEN THE INSIDE
OF HER ARM TURNS HIM ON.

THE INSIDE OF HER
FUCKIN' ARM.

YOU SLAY ME, WOLFF.

SHE IS PRETTY THOUGH.

I'D SURE LIKE TO EAT
RHEA CLARK'S PUSSY.

OH!
OH, MAN!

MEETING NEWSMEN
AT INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI,

MR. TRUMAN
PLEDGES TO SUPPORT

JOHN F. KENNEDY
FOR PRESIDENT.

I ASK YOUR HELP
IN THIS CAMPAIGN.

[CROWD CHEERS]

HI.

HI.

IT'S GOOD NEWS, HONEY.
YOU KNOW, THEY SAY THAT

UH, TRUMAN'S GOING TO
CAMPAIGN FOR KENNEDY.

I GAVE $25
TO HIS OFFICE TODAY.

I WAS EVEN THINKING
MAYBE I COULD GO WORK--

[DWIGHT] HERE I AM,
YOU LUCKY PEOPLE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[JOHN F. KENNEDY]
ROOSEVELT OR STEVENSON TODAY...

THEY LOOK TO THE EAST.

I THINK THEY SHOULD
LOOK TO US...

SO THE S.O.B. HAD BEEN
ON MY BACK FOR A WEEK AT WORK,

OK, SAYING
I STOLE HIS WRENCH

AND POURED OIL
ALL OVER HIS TOOLS.

WELL, HE JUST WENT ABOUT

ONE STEP TOO FAR
WITH OLD DWIGHT.

HE SPAT ON THE FLOOR
AS I WALKED BY.

I TURNED AROUND,
I WALKED BACK TO HIM

ACTING HUMBLE AND SCARED,
YOU KNOW, ALL THIS,

AND THEN HE
TOOK HIS EYES OFF ME.

BLAM! I DRY-GULCHED
THAT SON OF A BITCH.

NEVER GAVE ME
ANOTHER SECOND'S GRIEF,

TO THIS VERY DAY,

AND THAT WAS
FIVE YEARS AGO.

[DOG SNEEZES]

YEAH. COME HERE.
YEAH. COME ON.

COME ON, CHAMP.
COME HERE, COME ON.

ATTABOY.

I HEARD MR. KENNEDY
ON THE NEWS AGAIN TONIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW...

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

SOMEBODY COMES ALONG
WHO DOESN'T SEEM LIKE...

HE'S SUCH A LIAR.

KENNEDY, THE SENATOR
FROM ROME.

GIVES ME HOPE.

NO, I KNOW WHAT
HE GIVES YOU,

AND IT SURE AS HELL
ISN'T HOPE.

HE IS VERY ATTRACTIVE.

[ADDRESSING DOG]
YEAH. COME HERE...

HE HAS THOSE
PEARLY WHITE TEETH.

I DON'T THINK
THAT'S IT.

COME ON, BOY.
ATTABOY.

I'M...I'M GOING TO GO
WORK FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

OH, NO, THAT'S
A BAD IDEA. BAD IDEA.

TOO MANY REPUBLICANS
IN THIS TOWN.

THEY HEAR MY WIFE'S
WORKING FOR THE DEMOCRATS,

THEY'LL TAKE THEIR CARS
SOMEPLACE ELSE TO BE FIXED.

THAT'S A BAD IDEA. NO.

ALL RIGHTY, BOY? RIGHT,
MY LITTLE BABY BOY?

COME TO DADDY.

WHAA!

AW, RICKY,

PLEASE LET ME COME DOWN

AND WORK FOR YOU
AT THE CLUB.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

WELL...
GET AWAY FROM ME.

CHAMP, CHAMP!
GET DOWN.

NOW, CHAMP, SIT! SIT!

YOU TREAT ME LIKE LUCY,
I'LL ACT LIKE HER.

I'M WORKING FOR
THE KENNEDYS' CAMPAIGN.

ARE YOU THROUGH, DEAR?

YOU'RE NOT WORKING
FOR THAT CAMPAIGN.

WE'LL SEE
ABOUT THAT.

YOU'RE NOT WORKING
FOR THE CAMPAIGN!

GET THAT THROUGH
YOUR GODDAMN HEAD.

YOU'RE NOT WORKING
FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

THERE'S NO REASON
ON EARTH

WHY I CAN'T
GO WORK FOR THEM.

THERE IS EVERY REASON
IN THE WORLD.

I JUST TOLD YOU WHY.

YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.
I'LL DO IT.

WHAT?

I JUST TOLD YOU WHY.

I'LL BE THROUGH
IN A MINUTE.

YOU LEFT
THE LID OFF

THE DAMN
TOOTHPASTE AGAIN.

DWIGHT, IS THAT THE BEST
YOU CAN COME UP WITH?

THIS IS MY HOUSE,

AND I GET THE SAY
ABOUT THE TOOTHPASTE.

YOU GOT THAT?

HUH? HAVE YOU?

HUH?

NOW IF YOU LIVED
WITH YOUR DADDY DUKE

AND HIS RICH WIFE,

MAYBE THINGS
WOULD BE DIFFERENT.

BUT HE'S NOT HERE NOW,
IS HE? IS HE?

OH, DUKE. DUKE,
ARE YOU HERE?

DUKE? DUKIE?

ARE YOU HERE?

OH, HOW SAD.

DUKE'S NOT HERE.
OH, BOO-HOO.

MY HOUSE, MY BATHROOM.

I GET TO SAY
ABOUT THE TOOTHPASTE.

YOU GOT THAT?

MMM. COME ON. COME ON.

GIVE ME AN EXCUSE.
COME ON.

HEY.

YOU DIDN'T PICK
THIS UP YESTERDAY.

CONGRATULATIONS. YOU GOT
NOTHING HIGHER THAN A "C."

SHUT UP.

VOILA.

YOU'RE GONNA
GET CAUGHT SOMEDAY.

OOH, I'M SO SCARED.
REALLY.

YOU ACT MORE
LIKE THOSE MORONS

YOU HANG AROUND WITH
EVERY DAY.

HEY, I'M PSYCHO.
I'M RETARDED.

YEAH, HE HEARS YOU
DO THAT, YOU'RE DEAD.

HEY, LET ME COPY
YOUR MATH HOMEWORK.

NO, BUT I'LL SHOW YOU
HOW TO WORK THE PROBLEM.

I TELL YOU
I'M THIRSTY,

AND YOU OFFER ME
A SANDWICH.

THANK YOU
AND FUCK YOU.

I TAKE IT BACK.

YOU DON'T ACT LIKE PSYCHO,
YOU ACT LIKE DWIGHT.

I KNOW IT.

HE'S WINNING,
ISN'T HE?

I DO ACT LIKE HIM,

AND I FEEL
LIKE HIM
SOMETIMES.

I GOTTA GET OUT
OF THIS DAMN PLACE,

OR I'M DEAD ONE.

SURE, YOU'VE SAID THAT
FOR TWO YEARS.

THIS TIME I MEAN IT.

I'M GOING TO GO LIVE

WITH MY BROTHER GREGORY
IN PRINCETON.

OH, THE BROTHER GREGORY
IN PRINCETON

WHO NEVER CALLS YOU?

THAT BROTHER GREGORY?

NO, BUT, YOU KNOW,

I MAY GO TO A PREP
SCHOOL LIKE HE DID.

YEAH, LIKE MY DAD DID.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR GRADES?

AND WHAT WOULD YOU USE
FOR MONEY?

DWIGHT OWES ME
OVER 1,200 BUCKS.

IF I HADN'T LET HIM

KEEP MY PAPER ROUTE
MONEY, I'D BE O.K.

YEAH, IF THE DOG HADN'T
STOPPED TO PEE,

HE WOULD'VE
CAUGHT THE RABBIT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK DWIGHT
WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU.

I THINK YOU DO FIGHT
FOR THE PINK TEAM.

MY BROTHER GREGORY AND I
HAD BEEN IN TOUCH.

HE SAID THE ROAD FROM
CONCRETE TO PRINCETON

STARTED WITH S.A.T.s,

AND THAT I COULD
TAKE THEM

AT THE LAKESIDE SCHOOL
IN SEATTLE.

DWIGHT SAID I HAD AS MUCH
CHANCE OF PASSING THE TEST

AS HE HAD OF FARTING
HIS WAY THROUGH

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.

HI, HONEY.

WOULD YOU TAKE THAT
TRASH OUT FOR ME, PLEASE?

THANK YOU.

MY APPLICATION FORMS
MUST'VE COME TODAY,

AND HE THREW THEM AWAY.

HEY, I THOUGHT
I WAS HELPING HIM.

THOUGHT I'D SAVE HIM
SOME TROUBLE

'CAUSE HE'S GOT NO CHANCE

OF GETTING INTO
SOME FANCY PREP SCHOOL.

ALWAYS GOT YOUR NOSE
PRESSED UP

AGAINST
THE BIG SHOP WINDOW.

HAVEN'T YOU, DWIGHT?
WHAT?

YOU'RE SO AFRAID
THAT SOMEONE ELSE

IS GOING TO
GET SOMETHING

THAT YOU NEVER HAD.

IT'S WHAT
MAKES YOU MEAN.

AND YOU KNOW
SOMETHING, DWIGHT?

ONE OF THESE DAYS,

ALL THAT MEANNESS IS
GOING TO SNAP BACK

AND SLAP YOU
RIGHT IN THE FACE.

OH, I AM SO SCARED.
I AM SO SCARED!

I AM SO SCARED!
OH-OH-OH!

THIS IS ALL
YOU GAVE ME FOR DINNER?

WHEN I WENT TO FILL OUT
THE APPLICATION FORMS,

I RAN INTO A WALL.

THEY WANTED LETTERS OF
RECOMMENDATION FROM TEACHERS.

I FIGURED I COULD
WRITE THESE MYSELF,

BUT THEY WANTED MY GRADES

ON OUR OFFICIAL
HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT FORMS,

AND THIS WAS A PROBLEM.

I WON'T DO IT.

WHY NOT? YOU WORK
RIGHT IN THE OFFICE.

NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW.

I'M SURPRISED
YOU WANT HELP

FROM ANYONE WHO FIGHTS
FOR THE PINK TEAM.

LOOK, I'M ASKING YOU
FOR HELP, MAN.

I GOT WORD YESTERDAY THAT

I DID REALLY WELL
ON THOSE TESTS,

BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

I'VE GOT TO CHEAT
AND I'VE GOT TO LIE.

IF THEY WANT As,
I HAVE TO GIVE 'EM TO 'EM

ONE WAY
OR ANOTHER.

IT'S SUCH
A SIMPLE THING.

YOU'RE THE ONLY WAY--
NO.

WHY SHOULD YOU GET TO BE
THE ONE WHO LEAVES?

WHY NOT ME?

[BELL RINGS]

YOU COULD LEAVE, TOO,
YOU KNOW.

NAH, I'VE GROWN

PROGRESSIVELY FOND
OF CONCRETE.

I THINK
I'LL STAY HERE ALL ALONE

AND DRESS UP IN MY MOM'S
OLD CLOTHES SOMETIMES.

YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID.

[SAW BUZZES]

OW!

OW!

EXCUSE ME. I NEED
SOME HELP HERE.

FUCK.

JACK!

JACK, YOU GOT LETTERS
FROM THOSE SCHOOLS!

[LAUGHTER]

HEY, WOLFF!

BRING THAT BOTTLE
OVER HERE.

BRAND NEW WITH

THE NICE SHINE
AND EVERYTHING,

DEFINITELY.

OH, BULLSHIT.
NOBODY IN YOUR FAMILY'S

EVER EVEN BEEN
IN A CORVETTE.

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO
OWN ONE, RIGHT?

YEAH.

GO DOWN TO THE DRUGSTORE
AND PICK IT UP.

I'M GOING TO MOVE
DOWN TO SEATTLE,

I'M GONNA
GET A JOB AT BENDIX,

AND THEN I'LL BE
DRIVING TO WORK

IN MY VETTE
EVERY DAY.

MY UNCLE CAN HAVE
ANY CAR HE WANTS.

MAKES BIG BUCKS
AS AN ELECTRICIAN.

OH, YEAH? HOW BIG?

175 A WEEK TAKE-HOME.

BULLSHITTER. THE SUPERVISORS
AT BENDIX DON'T MAKE THAT.

THEN HOW WILL YOU MAKE ENOUGH TO
DRIVE A VETTE, FUCKFACE?

I'M GOING TO DRIVE
A T-BIRD SOMEDAY.

YEAH, AND I AM
GOING TO OWN A VETTE

EVEN IF I HAVE TO HOLD UP

THE BENDIX PAYROLL
TO GET IT.

LOSERS.
BUNCH OF LOSERS.

WHO YOU CALLING
A LOSER?

JACKIE CALLED US LOSERS.

[LAUGHTER]

[GLASS SHATTERS]

OOH!

JACK'S TOUGH!

ALL OF YOU.

OOH, JACKIE.

BIG, BAD WOLFFIE.

YOU'RE GOING TO
DRIVE A FAIRLANE

JUST LIKE
YOUR DADDY DOES.

TELL ME SOMETHIN',
PSYCHO, TELL ME...

HOW YOU EVER GOING TO
DRIVE A T-BIRD

IF YOU'RE A JANITOR
LIKE THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY?

YOU COULD FORGET ABOUT
BEING AN ELECTRICIAN

'CAUSE YOU CAN'T EVEN
PASS 10th GRADE MATH.

WHO DIED AND MADE YOU
KING SHIT, WOLFF?

YEAH. YOU'RE NO
BETTER THAN US.

I KNOW.
THAT'S MY POINT, PSYCHO.

YOU GUYS ARE
MY BUDDIES.

YOU GUYS ARE MY PALS.

MY DEAR OLD DAD'S
CALLED DWIGHT.

WELCOME TO
BEAUTIFUL CONCRETE!

WE ONLY TAKE BOYS

THAT REALLY WANT
TO WORK HARD.

IS THAT YOU?

I WANT YOU TO START
EVENINGS NOW.

AND I'D WANT YOU
TO WORK ALL SUMMER.

NO VACATIONS.

FOOD SERVICE WORK
ISN'T EASY, YOU KNOW.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING
THAT, UH,

COMES TO YOU
IN A YEAR OR TWO.

SO YOU THINK YOU GOT
WHAT IT TAKES

TO BE AN A&P
MANAGEMENT TRAINEE?

YEAH. THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I'VE GOT.

[PERRY COMO]
? MI CASA, SU CASA

NOW WHERE DID
THIS ONE--

I GOT ONE.
I GOT ANOTHER ONE.

YOU'RE GOING TO
FINISH THIS PUZZLE,

AND I'M NOT GOING TO
HAVE PUT ONE IN.

ALL RIGHT. LOOK-IT.
ALL RIGHT. SEE THIS ONE?

IT LOOKS--SEE THIS
HOUSE RIGHT HERE?

SO IT'S GOT TO GO
WITH THE HOUSE.

I GOT THE TOP TOGETHER!
I GOT THE WHOLE TOP PART.

EXCELLENT, SWEETHEART.
YOU'RE VERY GOOD AT THIS.

YOU'LL FINISH
THIS ENTIRE PUZZLE,

AND I'M GONNA HAVE ONLY
GOTTEN ONLY ONE PIECE IN.

TRY TO FIND ONE
THAT GOES WITH WHITE.

SO YOU KNOW--
I GOT IT!

MM-HMM...
FOUND IT!

NO, RIGHT HERE.
LOOK-IT. I GOT IT!

[LAUGHS]

CARLA AND SKIPPER
ARE THE BEST.

[TURNS MUSIC UP LOUD]

[SLAMS CABINET]

? MY HUMBLE HOUSE
WILL SHINE ?

? JUST LIKE...

HI, MOM!

HI, SWEETHEART.
YOU'RE VERY LATE.

WE HAD TO START
DINNER WITHOUT YOU.

I KNOW. I'M SORRY.

WELL, WE HAD
TO GO AHEAD AND EAT,

BUT IF YOU JUST GIVE ME
A SECOND,

I'LL GET YOUR DINNER.

NO, THAT'S OK.
I'LL GET SOMETHING AT WORK.

WELL, I DON'T WANT YOU
TO GO TO WORK

ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

NOW JUST
GIVE ME A SECOND--

MOM, I CAN'T.
I'M IN A RUSH. SORRY.

THERE'S A NICE WARM
PLATE IN THE OVEN

PUT IT ON ON THE TABLE.

I'LL BE THERE IN
A MINUTE TO HELP YOU.

WHAT ARE THESE?

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS.
I MADE THEM FOR YOU.

[NEEDLE SCRATCHES RECORD]

I WAS TRYING TO LISTEN
TO A RECORD.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO.

YEAH, HE'S HERE.

ARE YOU TOBIAS?

HELLO?

WHO WAS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

ALL RIGHT.

O.K. TOMORROW, THEN.

BYE.

WELL?

THAT WAS HILL SCHOOL,

THE LAST ONE THAT
I APPLIED TO?

NOW THEY HAVEN'T
ACCEPTED ME YET,

BUT THEY'RE SENDING SOMEBODY IN
TO INTERVIEW ME.

OHHH...

MMM!

HERE YOU GO.

THANKS, ROSS.

UH-HUH.

YEAH, I ENJOY
MY CLASSES,

ESPECIALLY
THE ADVANCED ONES.

BUT LATELY,
I'VE BEEN FEELING

A LITTLE RESTLESS.

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S
HARD TO EXPLAIN.

COME ON, THAT'S
EASY TO EXPLAIN.

YOU'RE
PROBABLY BORED.

YOU'RE NOT BEING
CHALLENGED.

TOBY, YOUR APPLICATION
WAS VERY GOOD.

BUT WE HAVE MANY BOYS
WHO WANT TO GO TO HILL.

AND NOT EVERYBODY IS
COMFORTABLE AT PREP SCHOOL.

OH. WELL,
I THINK I WOULD.

YOU SEE,
BOTH MY FATHER

AND BROTHER WENT
TO PREP SCHOOLS.

IS THAT RIGHT?
WHERE?

DEERFIELD AND CHOATE.

I SEE!

WELL, YOU MIGHT LIKE IT.

UH, UH, HILL WAS
DIFFICULT FOR ME, THOUGH.

ACADEMICALLY,
IT WAS HARD.

AND THEN MY LAST YEAR,
THINGS CHANGED.

THE GUYS IN MY CLASS
GREW CLOSE IN WAYS

THAT I NEVER WOULD'VE
THOUGHT POSSIBLE.

SO CLOSE THAT--WELL,
I STILL THINK OF THEM

AS--AS SORT OF
MY SECOND FAMILY.

I WANT THAT.

I DO.

SO SHE SAYS, "NO, I DON'T
WANT YOU TO DO THAT."

I SAID, "OH, JULIE,

WHY NOT LET ME GET DOWN
AND GROVEL IN IT?"

I MEAN, I ATE HER PUSSY

TILL MY TONGUE
WAS CALLOUSED.

AND THEN I NOTICED

THAT HER NIPPLES
GOT NICE AND HARD.

YOU KNOW, NOT THOSE
BIG FAT NIPPLES,

BUT NICE, HARD,
RAISIN NIPPLES.

SO ANYWAY, SHE GOES OFF
LIKE THIS ROMAN CANDLE.

I MEAN,
THAT WOMAN CAN SCREAM.

AND I SAYS, "YOU LIKED THAT,
DIDN'T YOU, BABY?

YOU LIKE THE OLD ARCH COOK
SPECIAL, DON'T YOU?"

HI, RICHIE.

[ENTRANCE BELL DINGS]

TOBY, BOYS AT HILL TALK
ROUGHLY, TOO, SOMETIMES.

I CAN SEE YOU'VE LED
RATHER A SHELTERED LIFE.

[SLURPS]

YEAH.

WELL, YOU SEEM
LIKE A FINE BOY.

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU
A GOOD REPORT TOMORROW.

BUT, TOBY, THERE ARE
LOTS OF BOYS APPLYING.

JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND
SEE WHETHER OR NOT...

HEY, HOTSHOT!

HEH. THAT'S
THE HOTSHOT BOY.

THAT'S THE GUY WHO
THINKS HE KNOWS EVERYTHING.

THINKS HE'S SO SMART.

FELLA,

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW
WOULD FILL A BOOK.

EDSEL'S A SHIT CAR.

[BELL DINGS]

HE'S--HE'S A MECHANIC.

HE DID SOME REALLY
BAD WORK ON OUR CAR.

IT'S JUST--HE ACTS LIKE THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.

WELL.

GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

HI.

HEY.

I KNOW SOMETHING THAT'S
GOING TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.

THAT MAN CALLED.
YOU GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP.

THEY'RE GOING TO
GIVE YOU $2,300 A YEAR.

GREAT, HUH?

SO I GUESS YOU'LL
BE LEAVING SOON.

I'M GOING TO MISS YOU.

I'M MAKING SOME HOT DOGS.
YOU WANT ONE?

WILL YOU PUT SOME MUSTARD
ON SOME BREAD FOR US?

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU

CONSISTENTLY DISAPPOINTING!

SIDED AGAINST ME--

ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU

I TRIED! I DID
THE BEST I COULD!

WHAT ABOUT ME?

SUPPOSED TO DO,

CRAWL OFF IN SOME DITCH
SOMEPLACE AND DIE?

WHAT ABOUT ME?

WHEN IS IT EVER
DWIGHT'S TURN

FOR SOME
CONSIDERATION?

WHAT ABOUT ME?

[CAROLINE LAUGHS]

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING!

YOU'LL REMEMBER ME!

IT WAS AS EASY AS THAT.

WE JUST PICKED UP
AND LEFT.

YOU CAN DREAM
OF A MOMENT FOR YEARS

AND STILL SOMEHOW
MISS IT WHEN IT COMES.

YOU'VE GOT TO REACH THROUGH
THE FLAMES AND TAKE IT...

OR LOSE IT FOREVER.

I TOOK IT,

AND SO DID MY MOTHER.

WE NEVER LOOKED BACK.

AAH! AAH! OOH!

O.K., NOW, I'VE
BORROWED MONEY

FROM EVERYBODY
WE KNOW,

SO THERE'S
THE EXTRA $200

YOU NEED
FOR YOUR TUITION.

THANKS.

THERE'S ANOTHER
50 IN THERE,

SO GET YOURSELF A BLAZER
OR SOMETHING, O.K., HONEY?

O.K.

WELL.

YOU SURE YOU'RE
GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT?

WELL, WHEN MY BUS COMES
IN ABOUT TWO HOURS...

I'LL BE FINE.

OH, I'M GOING TO
MISS YOU SO MUCH.

GET ON THE BUS, MOM.

I love you.

I KNOW THAT, MOM.

I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT.

ALL ABOARD.

Bye, honey.

Bye.
