An American Summer (1990) - full transcript

♪ Chicago's favorite,
wls ♪

This is radio 91.1.,
chicagoland's number one
radio station.

I'm shadoe Steele
with Chicago's number one news.

In Peking today, the chairman of
the Chinese communist party,

deng xiao peng--
yo, deng, nice name
for a dictator--

said that dictatorship
must be paved away in China

and democracy broadened.

President Jimmy Carter reacted
to the remarks with caution

saying, "we will judge them
by their actions,
not their words."

In California,
governor Jerry brown

called for "peace in
the molecular universe."



The so-called
"moonbeam governor"

is gearing up for a run at
the Democratic nomination
in 1980.

Now some political strategists
think it won't be long

before there's a wacko
Californian in the white house.

And it's official,
postage stamps will
take another hike

from 13 cents to 15 cents
per stamp.

The hikes will be taking
effect next week.

Our cubbies take on
Steve garvey
and the L.A. Dodgers

at wrigley this afternoon.

The sox play the twins
in Minneapolis tonight.

And finally, the Stanley cup
playoffs ended last night.

The Montreal Canadians
knocked off the Boston bruins
4 to 1

to take the series in 5 games.

And now, Chicago's number one
radio, 91.1,



brings you the number one
most requested song
of the last hour.

Woman:
I think you should go!...

Sports announcer:
Rookie sensation Tom Travis

has been simply awesome
tonight in the nets.

Curt gowdy here.
Game 7, Stanley cup finals.

And there's no time left

we're in
a penalty shot situation.

If Travis stops it,
the game's over.

If Jean renoir puts it in,

we're into
sudden death overtime.

He's maneuvering around,

he's starting to skate in.

He's stick handling,
fakes left, goes right,
shoots.

And...travis saves it!
He gloved it!

Unbelievable! Who'd have
thought a ninth grader

from a suburban bantam team
could so totally dominate

the Stanley cup playoffs.

This is unbelievable.

Tom. Tom, I'm
talking to you.

I'm sorry you had
to hear that.

I hope you know that
this has nothing
to do with you.

It's strictly between
your father and me.

But I don't wanna
go to California.

We've already
been through this.

It ----

Tom, knock that off.

You've never even
been there.

Anyway, maybe the lawyers
will settle things quickly

and you can
come home sooner.

Are you all packed?

Good. I have to run
to the office to
get some files.

I'll be right back.

Hey, Tom.

So when do you
take off?

An hour or so.

That's too bad.
We were gonna play
some street hockey.

Sure could use you.

If only it wasn't
California.

It's a stupid place!

I hate all their
sports teams.

But the worst
thing is

everyone calls you
"dude". I hate that.

I mean, if California
was so great,

why does everyone
still live in Chicago?

Hey, Dave, um--
while I'm gone,
can you do me a favor?

Can you take dumper
to the park

maybe once or twice
a week?

He loves it there.
He just goes wild

sniffing at all
the dogs and stuff.

And my mom never
has time to take him.

Sure.

Thanks.

Well, I'll see ya.

Yeah. Take care.

Hey, I think there's only
81 days or something
until September.

See ya.

I'm sure gonna miss
you, too, little guy.

God, I wish it was
September already.

This is gonna be
the worst summer
of my whole life.

How're you doing?

Fine.

Can I get you
something?

No.

A pillow?

Ok.

Mmmmma!

Hi, aunt sunny.

Wow, are you ever
getting big.

Amber, this is
your cousin Tom.

Well, let's get going.

Climb on in, Tom.

And this is
my other child.

Buddha, meet
your cousin, Tom.

And this
is my painting room,

where I do a lot
of my work,

and where I have plans
to make you into an artist
this summer.

This is new.
It's peppered okra.

And this is pureed
green beans from
my garden.

And this is
sliced raw beets.

Everything is totally
organically grown.

Very nutritious.

How is it?

It's good.

Real good.

I knew you'd like it.

So anyway,
thousands and thousands
of people

come here from
San Francisco
and Los Angeles

to have some fun.

Maybe watch the surfing,
get a bargain.

In just those few days,

I can almost make
enough money to last
till next summer fest.

And I figure
with you helping me...

But I don't know
anything about painting.

An advantage.
Your style won't be

sullied by an
earlier influence.

Come here.
Oh, dear. No?

You're pretty quiet.

It's ok.

It's tough going
through what you're
going through

with your parents
and all.

But you're gonna
have a great
summer here.

Probably the best
summer of your
whole life.

I just know it.

Aunt sunny:
Stop crying.

Where can I get
some new batteries?

Woman:
Screw you, too!

Get outta my way,
you--you--

don't you talk
back at me like that!

Shameless hussy!

Little drips.

Stupid hodads.

Stupid surfers.

Excuse me.
Where can I find
the drugstore?

Yeah, this is it, man.
What do you need?

Batteries.

Batteries?
What's that?

Batteries. I need them
for my tape recorder.

--- Man. We're talking
two different languages.

Get outta here!

hey, dude.
Wanna buy some shades?

I'm not a dude,
and I hate sunglasses.

Sorry, dude.

♪ Let the good times

Now if you had
some shades,

you could stare at
that chick all day
and she'd never know it.

I mean, I can
give you a good deal.

Ok, how much?

$5.99.
They're normally
7 bucks.

Heard anything
from Bo?

Oh, paleeze!
He's such a townie.

And conceited. God!

He's cute. He's rich.

He's 16.
He's got a car--

ok, ok.

He's just not,
you know,
John Travolta.

I don't have enough.

And besides, I need to
get some batteries, too.

Yeah, but I can't
go any lower.

Girl:
Well, what are your
plans for the summer?

I don't know.

I think I'll just
get a great tan,

read some
harlequin romances.

Are we pathetic
or what?

There's a cute guy!

Where, where, where?

Don't look yet.

He is tourist
all the way.

Looks like--New York--

Boston. Aw, too bad.
He's behind you.

Oh, god!
I know he saw
me staring.

Oh!

I'll tell ya what.

I'll let you have
the glasses if
you can...

Help me with
my paper route
for two mornings
this week.

What? A paper route?
No thanks.

And I'll give you
the lowdown on
the little goddess
over there.

What's your name?

Fin. What's yours?

We need to count 'em.
Should be 70.

Ok, we're done.

Now what's her name?

Um, you wanna get
some java?

I hate coffee.

Well, they have
donuts, too.
Come on.

What can I get you?

Two javas.

I hate coffee.

You want a donut?

I don't have
any money on me.

You can owe me.

Two donuts.
Chocolate covered.

Uh, do they have
coconut on top?

No.

Good.

So doesn't your mom
fix you breakfast?

My mom? Never.

Ok, now.
What's this girl's name?

You could probably
pay me back

by helping me sell
sunglasses on the pier.

Look, what am I,
your personal slave?

With you helping,
it would probably
double sales.

And you could watch
girls all day.

Look, maybe I don't
want to stay at
the beach all day.

Let's see, you'll
probably need
a swimsuit.

You have a swimsuit,
don't you?

Look, you want
my coffee?

Drink it!
Every grown-up
drinks java.

I don't want this coffee,

I don't wanna sell
any of your sunglasses,

and I don't wanna deliver
any of your papers, ok?

But you owe me.

Your folks are
sending out some money,

but until then we are
really scraping by.

Sorry.

Are you kidding?
It's only $8.50.

Well, why don't you
return the sunglasses
and get your money back?

Maybe you can get
a paper route if you
need some extra cash.

Whoo whoo! Whoo!

What a kook!
You look like
a total butt.

What now?

You look like a goob.

Now go put something on
that won't scare away
my customers.

I don't have
anything else.

Then just take off.

Ok. If I take off,
I don't owe you
a thing.

Wrong, dude. You can
still help me deliver
papers.

Look, dude,
I'm not a dude.

And if I'm not
good enough to
sell your stupid
sunglasses,

I'm not good enough
to deliver your
stupid papers.

Ok, ok. Lighten up.

Never hire a weenie.

I'm surprised you
weren't arrested for
indecent exposure
before.

But you've got
the rad look now.

I hate people
who dress like this.

You're living
at the beach.
Go with the flow.

How am I gonna
pay you back?

Just sell sunglasses,
lots of sunglasses.

What is it?
What do you want
with all your money?

A Van. A ----
vw surfsled.

But you can't drive
for another two years.

One year and 9 months.

And when I can,
I'm gonna drive
the --- Van around.

What for?

Babes, dude.

I mean, you take 'em
down the beach a ways

or you take 'em
up into the hills.

What's up in the hills?

Nothing. That's why
you take them up there.

Look, there's this
old abandoned gold mine,
the superstition mine.

Now it's been closed
for years but you can
still get in.

It's real private.

Why do you need a Van
to get there?

You don't need
a Van to get there.
You can walk there.

You need the Van
to get the babes
to get there.

You're so California,
it's scary.

My aunt sunny says
she sells enough
paintings during
the summer fest

that--you know what
the summer fest is?

Yeah.

Ok. That she can
live off of them for
the rest of the year.

Well, yeah, but that's
mostly adult stuff.

I mean, for us kids,
it's the surfing competition.

How hard is it
to surf?

Oh, come on.
Don't tell me you're
thinking of learning.

I mean, it takes a lot
of skill and ability.

It's just something
that comes naturally
to Californians.

Oh, come on.
That's like saying

the only good
hockey players
come from Canada.

Wait a second.
How many surfing waves

have you seen roll up
onto the beaches
of Illinois?

Me? None.

Ok. I rest my case.

Now clam up.
Here comes a customer.

You look--real special
in those, ma'am.

Those pair are $7.99,
but--

you look nice.
For you, $7.00 even.

I'll take them.

Well, thank you, ma'am,
and--have a nice day.

Those sunglasses
were supposed to
be 6.25.

T-man, first rule
of business.

Charge what the market
will bear.

Get the hang of it?

Yeah, I think so.

Good. Take over then.

I'm gonna go catch
a few and I'll be back
in a while.

Excuse me.

How much are these?

Uh--these?
They're um--7.99.

Nah. Too expensive.

But for you,
I'll give 'em to
you for 7 even.

They're selling
the same pair up
the street for 5 bucks.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

5 bucks, huh?

Ok, 5 bucks.

I don't know.
I feel like I'm
getting ripped off here.

$5.00 is cost.
That's a really
good price.

Well, I don't know.

Tell you what.

I'll give you
$4.00 fmr 'e

excuse me, I said
pay $4.00.

0! Take itor leave it.

Leave it!
I gotta go!

Get a lifeguard!

What happened?

Are you ok?

Oh.

Mondo wave, huh?

Where's my board?

Can somebody
get his board?

Guess I owe you now.

What was that?

A little
senior lifesaving.

Where'd you learn
that stuff?

Swim leaders.
I used to save
little squirts

from the junior high pool.

The wilmette swim program
is the best in the state.

Geekiest swimsuits
in the state, too.

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, thanks, dude.

It's all right, folks.
He's ok now.

What happened out there?

The wave was a lot
bigger than I thought.

I got too far into it,

so when it crashed,
it crashed me.

What do you mean--
too far into it?

Well, underneath it,
like the crest.

See, you wanna stay
in front of the crest
or the curl.

Like that guy.

Well, thanks, dude.
Uh, sorry--t-man.

Where are you going?

One more wave today.

Are you nuts?
You almost drowned!

Yeah, but that's
the point.

You gotta get back
on the horse.

Now, spot me, ok?

You're crazy!

You can never
let it beat you!

Any problem over here?

Not anymore.
That guy almost
went under.
Where were you?

Hey, it's a big beach,
man.

There's a lot of
ground to cover.

What? A guy almost drowns
and there's too much beach
for you to cover?

Hey, lighten up, man.

You got a problem,
go talk to my supervisor.

Hey, Finley, is that
your stuff over there?

Yeah? So?

Have a safe day
at the beach, kids.

Hey, wait a minute!

Jerk.

What's his problem?

I beat him
the last two years in
the surfing contest.

The guy has a real
attitude problem.

Let's call his bluff
and go talk to
his supervisor.

What are you,
feeling well?

What kind of a person
would hire a ---
like that?

Come on.
It can't hurt.

Who's watching
the sunglasses?

What's this?

Hurry up.
The lifeguard
supervisor's office
might close.

You sold a pair
of sunglasses
for 4 bucks?

You're gonna
bankrupt me.

He coulda left
nothing at all.

Besides, I had to run
and go save this...

Ok, ok!
Don't change the subject.

Think they'll
do anything?

It's your word
against Joey's.

Who do you think
they're gonna
side with?

Just forget about it.
Let's go get a malt.

Hey, Finley,
heard you had
a little--

mishap at the beach
today.

No worse than the mishap
on the day you were born.

Well, if I were you,
I'd be careful.

You might have just
been lucky today.

Oh, I'll keep that
in mind.

Who is that?

It's Bo Riley.

Him and Joey the lifeguard
are best friends.

Oh, god,
there he is again!

Maybe he's not
a tourist.

Well, he has to be
one of fin's friends.

I mean, look how
he's dressed.

Hey, there are
those two girls.

Well, no better
time than now.

Here they come.

Hey, guys.
How're you doing?

Hi, fin. Ok!Hi, fin. Ok!

Um--i want you
to meet a friend
of mine.

This is Tom Travis.

This is uh--Traci Martin
and cari o'Rourke.

Hi.

Hi.
Hi.

So, you guys heard
of anything going on
tonight?

Yeah. Bo's having
a party.

Yeah.
It should be fun.

Yeah, well--
I guess we'll
meet you there.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Ohhh!ohhh!

I feel like
such an idiot.

I couldn't think
of anything to say.

Fin:
Don't worry.
Cari:
We'll see them tonight.

I couldn't think
of anything to say.I feel like such a jerk.

What was her name again?What was his name again?

I can't remember.They are so cute.

I know.

Cari, I wonder when
fin and his friend
are gonna get here.

I wonder if they can
even get in.

Trace, isn't it gonna
be kinda hard to flirt
with this guy

right in front of Bo?

I've forgotten Bo.
There's no way we're
gonna pick up again

where we left off
last summer.

I don't know.
He's got lots
to offer.

Unfortunately,
he knows it, too.

Wow, this guy really
is big bucks.

Maybe we shouldn't
go in there.

Pretty rad
party, huh?

It's ok.

You wanna dance?

Sure.

♪ I never questioned
my own immaturity ♪

♪ and cool as...

What, are you still
---- since I only
wrote you

once since
last summer?

Bo, we left off
at a dead end.

Come on, let's go.
I don't wanna go
to this party.

Ok.

Bo...

What are you being
such a pt for?

What's a pt?

--- Tease.

Bo, you have no p to tease.
So just relax, ok?

You know,
I shoulda wrote to you.

I'll never make that
mistake again.

You wanna clear
outta here,
take a drive?

I'm waiting for someone.

Ok. Maybe later.

Why didn't you tell me
she already has a boyfriend?

I didn't know.

Well, that's girls
for ya.

Excuse me, uh--
we left our I.D.S at home.

Um--would you mind
scoring us some beer?

Guess he would mind.

Dude, quick!
This way.

The party must be
running out of beer.

You plug up
the exhaust pipe,
and the car blows up.

Let's go.

Don't come back
till you're 21!
We lose license!

Hey, look dude,
just give me a break,
all right!

Give me my I.D. Back.

Don't come back here!
Scoundrel.

What happened?

It didn't work.

Just relax, man.
Look, the money is on the way.

Hey, hey.
Come here, worm.

Come on, man.
Get your hands off me!

Now, I can get back
some of the coke

and part of the hash
and that's it.

Hey, man.
Nobody bogarts me.
Nobody bogarts me!

I want my percentage
plus interest--now.

Ok, here's your
percentage.

Plus interest.

Hey, fin.
Where'd you go?

You tell your
little friend

that if either one
of you says so much
as one word to the cops,

I'm gonna cut you open

and I'm gonna
rip out your heart
with my bare hands.

You got me?
You got me?!

Yeah.

I'm not gonna do
anything to him,
just you.

Do you understand?
Do you understand?!

Yeah!

Sleep tight.

Tom!

Police arrested rockman.

How do you know?

They told my dad.
He's district attorney.

Where'd you go after
you ditched into that yard?

I went up a tree.

Did you hear
what he said?

Yeah.

You didn't go to
the police, did you?

Are you kidding?
We may not have to.

Look, if they arrested
him, they must have
enough evidence

to where they may not
even need us.

Oh, thank god.

You can probably
put that down now.

I went by your house
and no one was home.

I thought you'd gone
to the police and I was
dead meat.

Nah. Look, I gotta
get going, ok.
I snuck out.

I'll talk to you
in the morning.

Mm. Pretty gruesome
stuff here.

"The victim,
John doughty,
known as dode,

"died from a 5 inch deep
wound from the stomach
to the chest

"which punctured
the victim's heart.

"An unidentified man
who was reportedly

"the last person to
see the victim alive,

"is being held in
connection with
the murder.

Police believe
the murder may be
drug-related."

Drugs sure have
attracted the wrong
element.

Back when I was
at Berkeley,

it was get a little
high, peace, love.

Now it's do drugs
and get your
throat cut.

I hope you're smart
enough not to go
near the stuff.

I'm expecting a call!

Hello.

Tom, it's fin.
They released him.

Lack of evidence,
no witnesses.

No weapon.
And the guy's landlord
gave him an alibi.

Now, I haven't said
nothing yet,

but my dad and I
are on our way over.
That ok?

Tom, is that ok?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Bye.

Is there
something wrong?

You didn't see this guy.
He's crazy.

What if he comes back
for me?

Look, I really don't
think there's too much
to worry about.

First, if he's
around here,
they'll catch him.

It's too small
a town.

Second, he's probably
off to San Francisco
or even L.A. by now.

And third, we're gonna
keep a patrol car
outside both our houses

until the whole thing
settles back to normal.

I could just go back
to Chicago.

I suppose you
could do that.

Of course, when he
does get caught, which
should be very soon,

we're going to need
you to testify--here.

You call right now
and have them charge
a ticket for you.

They'd never forgive me
if you got hurt here.

Yeah, hello.
Is Mr. Travis in?

It's his son calling.

Two weeks?
Where can I reach him?

Not until tomorrow.

Well, if he calls in,
have him call me, ok?

Thanks.

Are you done yet?
The newspaper wants
to interview you.

And you know what else...

Excuse us for a moment.

I was talking to cari.

She said she and Traci
thought the party was
a major drag

and they were waiting
for us to come.

I'm serious. We're heroes,
and I think she's hot
for you.

I gotta call my mom.

Aunt sunny:
You better call
your mother...Now.

Oh, um, can I talk
to her alone?

Oh. Sure. Sorry.

Woman:
Ms. Travis' office.

Hello. Is Mrs. Travis in?

Who's calling, please?

It's her son calling.

Please hold.

Thank you.

Hello?
Yes?

Ms. Travis is in
a meeting with
a client now.

What is this
in reference to?

Tell her I need
to talk to her.

Ok. Hold on.

Ms. Travis asked
if it's an emergency,

or could she call you
back tonight?

No--it's not
an emergency really.

I just uh--i just
wanted to see how
she was doing, that's all.

I'll give her
the message.

Thanks.

I'll make sure
she gets it.

Ok.
Bye-bye.

Bye.

Well?

Um--mom said I should
probably stay...

Because I might have
to testify soon.

As long as it's
ok with you.

Well, it's a bit more
than I bargained for,

but...

I suppose.

Well, after we
jumped him and
wailed on him
for awhile,

uh, he managed to
escape and he ran off
like a scared rabbit.

Weren't you ever
afraid?

Nah, not really.

There was two of us
and only one of him.

Are you afraid
he might come back?

Nah. We've got
the police.

And we're not
afraid of a creep
like that anyway.

If he tries to
come in the window,

he makes a mess
and leaves the perfect
footprint for evidence.

He'll never expect this.

He walks in,
trips on the cord,
falls on his face.

You hear him,
you have a bat
by your bed...

And pow,
it's over.

Ok, the guy pulls
the door open, right?

This string, it comes up,
pulling the clock out here.

The clock starts ringing.
The bricks fall down,

pulling up the rope,
and he's hanging like
a side of beef.

Now, um, oh, ok.

We're gonna need leaves
to cover this.

Hey, t-man,
come here!

Is this what
I think it is.

I'm so tired.

That's the trouble
with this stuff, man.

It just makes
me sleepy.

I gotta get
something to eat.

Wait.

Stupid thing.

Hey, I guess it works!

Aunt sunny: Tom!

Oh. Oh!
Great quiz this month!

Is your man macho
or a wimp?

Who you gonna
take it for?

Bo or Tom?

I already know
what Bo is.

Which one?

Both,
macho and a wimp.

Oh, meow!

And Tom?

I don't know.

He probably doesn't
even like me.

Gee, Bo is really
excellent.

Bo's gotten even better.

Where is he?

Striped trunks.

You don't think
Traci's here with him?

If her taste in guys
is for Bo, she's
not worth it.

Cari, too.

Let's find out.

Oh, god, he's coming
this way.

Act natural.

I bet you the first
thing he says is
about himself.

Something conceited.

Hey, you guys.
Did you see me
take that last wave?

It was the biggest
one all day and I
took it perfectly.

Hey, can I borrow
your towel for a sec?

Boy, I cannot wait
for the surf contest
this year.

I'm gonna kick
some major butt.

Hey, this doesn't
look so good.

Hey, how you girls
doing today?

What do you want?

Oh, we're not too
friendly today,
are we?

I guess I'll just get
right to the point.

I think it's only fair
to warn you that uh--

Bo's been ---- Traci.

Yeah, how would
you know?

I saw him,
down on the beach
the other night.

Hey, they been going out
for more than a year.

Yeah,
I don't believe it.

Hey, see for yourself.
And, uh, her little
friend o'Rourke--

I've been doing
the honors there.

And if you don't
believe me, Bo and Traci
were nearby,

same beach, same night.

Just thought I'd give you
fair warning, guys.

They've already
been taken, so to speak.

Well, ciao.

Let's go back.

Cari and Traci:
Oh, hi, you guys!

Too late now.

Hi.hi, how're you doing?

Haven't seen you out
cutting waves much, Finley.

Yeah, well, I haven't
had much time.

Suppose not,
showing the town
to this hodad from
the flatlands.

So, heard anything
new on rock?

Nah, but they'll get him.

Sooner or later.
What if it's after
he's already wasted you?

Hi, everybody!

Hey, Joey.
Hi, Joey.

I got some bad news.

I just had a talk
with the lifeguard supervisor.

Seems that we've had some
trouble on the beach recently.

And he gave me the authority
to prevent any unsafe behavior

and to remove
any troublemakers.

Finley, you and your pal here
look like you might
be troublemakers.

So I'm afraid I'm just
gonna have to remove you
from the beach.

Don't worry,
we'll be back tomorrow.

No, I don't think
you understand.

I mean permanently.
Or at least as long
as I'm around.

You can't do that!

I just did!

Yeah, well Traci and cari'll
swear we're not causing
any trouble.

Don't get us in the middle
of this little macho
thing here.

Ok, fine, look.
I don't need your
stupid beach anyway.

Oh, yeah?
Where else you
gonna practice for
the surf contest?

My bathtub.

That's not the only
thing he's gonna
practice.

Look, Finley,
no matter how
much you surf,

you'll never be
as good as the guys
who grew up here.

So quit trying.

Come on, let's go.

You guys are so
childish sometimes.

I caught hell from
the supervisor
because of them.

So I owed it to them.

Bo and Joey remind me
of everyone from
forest Glen.

It's this suburb
just north of where
we live in Chicago.

Rich jerks.
All their parents are
fat cats in mink coats

and the kids are all
spoiled brats.

You don't think
Traci and cari really
like those guys, do you?

They wouldn't even
stand up for us.

Look, what do you
expect, Tom?

They're doing it
with Bo and Joey.

You know what?

Girls suck.

You just can't
trust 'em.

Yeah, look, Tom,
I gotta get going.
All right?

You're going surfing,
aren't you?

Show me how to surf.
I wanna learn.

Oh, brother!
It's not easy.
It takes time.

And I don't know
if there's enough
time in the world

for me to beat Bo,
much less teach you.

I can swim.
I play hockey
and baseball,

so I know I can
learn fast.

I've got something
to prove, too.

Besides, you'll
at least need
a spotter.

You owe me from when
I pulled you out
from that undertow.

I don't suppose
you'd call it even
right now

if I marked off
everything you
owe me.

So...

What have you been
up to all day?

Surfing.

That's it?

Pretty much.

Every day?

Yep.

Every day for
the past month?

I guess.

I don't know what's
happening, Tom.

Like, whether it's
this divorce thing
or not.

You're up before
the crack of dawn.

You're gone till dark.

You come home for
a quick dinner,

and then you either
go out again or you
go straight to bed.

We hardly ever
see you.

Maybe it's this
poison you eat.

It's not poison.

Are you on drugs?

No.

I talked to
your mother today.

You never told her
about that murder,
did you?

I tried to tell her,
but she was too busy.

How do you try
to tell someone
and then not?

She does speak english.

Can I go to
my room now?

You know why
you came out here
this summer?

Do you know
the real reason?

My parents didn't
want me around when
they got divorced,

and you needed someone
to help you paint pictures

and baby-sit this
little--

I did say that,
didn't I?

How many pictures
have I asked you
to paint?

None.

How many times have
I asked you to baby-sit?

Once.

Once. It's been
real tough, hasn't it?

You know why you're
out here this summer?

Because I wanted
to help.

Because my parents
went through a divorce
at your age

and I always wished
someone was there to
help me through it.

I like you, Tom.
You're my favorite
nephew.

Yeah.

Things change.
Things always change.

I don't know what's
happening in this world.

Now suddenly,
we have the "me"
decade

and this country's
worshipping

John Travolta prancing
around to disco.

It's as if Bob Dylan
were never born.

Who's Bob Dylan?

Can I go to my room now?

I suppose.

But I want you to
start pulling your
weight around here,
Tom.

Now that side fence
is in desperate need
of a coat of paint.

And I just don't have
any time to do it
right now.

But aunt sunny,
the surfing competition's
in another week.

I need to practice!

Lord almighty,
you haven't done
a thing here all summer.

Now start tomorrow,
and no surfing
until it's done.

But aunt sunny--

I don't want to hear
another word.

I have made up
my mind.

And don't spill
any paint on my plants.

Who's Bob Dylan.

You lay the drop cloth down
so you don't get paint
on the organic plants.

Organic plants.

Then you must be careful
to evenly coat the whole roller.

This is really
21st century technology.

Give me that.

You missed a spot.

Shut up.

More colors.

Buddha, come here.

Come here, puppy.

Come on, Buddha.

Come here.

Yeah!

What is going on here?

We, uh--

uh-huh, this oughta
be a good one.

Thought we'd help make some
pictures for you to sell
at the festival.

Help me make
some pictures?

You thought you'd
help memake some
pictures?

And Buddha thought
he'd help, too?

I'm sorry, aunt sunny.
It was a bad idea.

We'll clean everything up
and I'll buy you new paints.

You think this is
how art is created?

Just a backyard party?
Any wise-ass kids and
a dog can do it?

Just a second.

I actually like that
splash of magenta.

Wait, wait.
No, come on.

Where do they go?

They don't sell
sunglasses anymore

since that idiot Joey
kicked them off
the beach.

We've sat around
long enough.

It's time we do
something.

Something tacky.

Like what?

The thing to remember
is to be patient.

Don't be afraid to
wait for a good wave.

The stupid surfer
will take the first
wave he sees.

Oh, god.
It's time for dinner.

My aunt sunny
is the worst cook.

Well, do you wanna
eat at our house?

Well, sure.
I suppose.

Just tell me one thing.
I've always wondered.

Where did your aunt sunny's
kid come from?

Well, I heard
my parents talking
one time.

They think it was
just some drifter
she met.

She wasn't getting
any younger and...

Was afraid
of growing old
all by herself.

She's pretty
independent.

She doesn't really
care what other
people think.

She's sorta cool
that way.

Oh, boy, leftovers.

Hey, fin,
where's your mom?

Your parents divorced
or something?

Hi, guys.

Oh, hi, dad.

Hi, Mr. Finley.

Well, fin, Tom asked
you a question.

No, uh, we're not divorced.

Charles' mother
and little sister
were killed

in a car accident
about 3 years ago.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.
Of course if I...

Could change things back...

But you can't let it
beat you.

So things are just--
different.

We moved here,
I got a new job.

Fin's going to
a new school.

Don't feel sorry for us.

On a happier note,

i--heard some reasonably
good news today.

A Texas ranger called.

He thinks he saw
our drug friend, rockman,
somewhere outside Dallas.

Did they catch him?

No. The ranger didn't make
the description until
after the guy was gone.

But--at least that means
old rockman isn't around here.

So Tom, you wanna stay
for dinner?

Uh--i wish I could.

But uh--i just remembered

my aunt sunny's cooking
something real special
tonight.

Oh, really.
What is it?

It's a surprise.

It almost always is.

That's a lot
of shaving cream.

I know. Finally gonna
do something about
all that gross leg hair.

A lot of
toilet paper.

Could you please hurry?

I really have to go.

They judge you
for challenge,

which means how big
the wave is,

and style, which means
how bodaciously
you ride it.

I don't know
if it was worth it.

What do you mean?

Learning to surf.
I'm still not very good.

Oh, you're high.

I mean, you're doing
real decent.

I'm actually
pretty amazed.

I've never been much
good at anything.

Except being goalie
and maybe swimming.

Sometimes I think
if only I'd gotten
better grades

or hadn't been
such a pain in the ---,

my parents wouldn't be
doing what they're doing.

I don't know.

It's not your fault.

Well then whose is it?

Sometimes nobody's.

I mean, you can
mope around
and mope around

until you get
sick of it.

But then you gotta
get on with things.

Look, it's like
surfing.

The waves just
keep coming

and you can't
control it.

Sometimes it feels
like you're on a cloud.

But sometimes
they crash you.

What did you write?

Finn has a cute butt?

God, you can't
say that.

What did you write
over here?

Tom is a boy?

I told you to call
him something mean.

It was the worst thing
I could think of.

Here.

There.
Much better.

I was hoping to take
home a prize in
the surf contest.

Oh, come on.
You didn't think
you could beat Bo,
did you?

I don't know.
I just wanted
to show them.

Meaning Traci?

I know about her kind.

She's just like all
the forest Glen girls.

Last winter,
I was first string goalie
on the wilmette bantam team,

and I started going out
with this forest Glen girl.

Then I hurt my foot
and I couldn't play
for, like, two weeks.

She wouldn't go out
with me until I was
starting again.

That's a forest Glen girl.

You are totally high.
I mean, she's
a cool girl.

It's just that
she likes Bo.

Thatmakes her uncool.

Here, we each have
one more roll of t.P.

Then let's go.

Tom.

Wait. Wait. Quiet.

Aaahhhhh!

Girls: Aaaahhh!

Traci: All right,
all right, I give up!

What are you
doing here?

Doing where?

What are you
doing here?

Fin:
Tom, look at this.

Tom is a gross boy?

That's a real good one,
guys.

We were just walking by.
Now let us go.

Yeah, well, why don't
you go t.P. Your
boyfriend's house?

Shut up, cari.We sorta thought
we were.

What about
Bo and Joey?

I haven't gone out
with him since
last summer.

What did Joey say?

And you haven't been
going out with Joey?

Joey who?

But...

We've got some
tables to turn.

Are you sure this will
even things up?

Don't worry.
After tomorrow, we'll
all feel much better.

You ready?

Yep.

I hope this works.

Hi.
Hiya, guys.

Haven't seen you
in awhile.
How're you doing?

Doing ok.
How're you guys
doing?

Do you guys feel
like ice cream?

Sure. Why not?

You guys'll
have to go get it,

'cause, uh, I'm on
duty. All right?

Oh, cari and I
will go get it.

Ready to drown?

I guess so.

I've actually
had some real life
experience doing this.

Get your head down.

Hey, a guy's drowning!
Go get the lifeguard!

Hey, this guy's drowning!
Help!

Get your head down.
Help!

Help!

Let's go!

My station!

What about
the drowning kid?

Screw him, man!
My station just
fell over!

Worked like a charm.

Radical, man.
Totally radical.

That was
excellent.

You're right,
I do feel much
better today.

Yeah, well,
what about Bo?

We still owe him.

Well, I'll
think of something.

Imitating Howard cosell]
This is Howard cosell

at the international
surfing competition.

Ooh! Look at
Tom Travis rip.

He's literally dancing
on the wave.

Aaahhh!

Hey, you little monkey.

You gonna come watch
and bring me luck?

Can I have
some luck?

Ok, champ, let's load up.

That'll be plenty
for now, Tom. Thanks.

All right.

Look, sid. Come on.

Ok. Hey, interesting.

Sunny:
Isn't it?

It's by a new French
artist who's out here
spending the summer.

And a New York critic
told me he thinks

this could be the next
Jackson pollack.

What a statement
of color!

Yeah, it'll look good
by the hot tub.

How much can you
come down in price?

Well, this one's
$1,200.

But if you're
interested in
several by
this artist,

I'm sure we could
work something out.

Gerry and Judy will
simply turn green

when they see these.

What else
you got here?

This.

Isn't that startling?

Ooh, I love this one!
It's cheap.

Fin: Hey, Tom.

Good luck, Tom.

Merci.

All entrants in
the junior category.

All entrants in
the junior category.

Please report to
the scorers' table
to register.

First prize in
the junior category
is $1,000.

Second prize is $500.

And third price is $250.

Due to the number
of interference problems

encountered last year
in the junior category,

Tom Travis.We are adopting some slightly
different rules this year.

You will each be
assigned a color.

We will wave the color
and sound a horn

to indicate whose turn
it is to surf.

Wave to the judges to
indicate that you are ready.

Remember, you'll be disqualified
if you surf out of turn.

In addition to that,
because of the number
of safety problems

posed by surfers
losing their boards,

everyone will be penalized
15 points if you surf
without a leash.

Also, you'll have 90 seconds
from the time we blow the horn

for you to catch a wave.

Today, that should give you
anywhere from 5 to 7 waves
to choose from.

Any questions?

Ok. Good luck.

Yeah, this is

Nice job. The next surfer
is Charles Finley.

What are you waiting for?

Too small.
Too small?

Nothing's too small for
a short hitter like you.

Look...concentrate, fin.

Oh, you're
a good cheerleader.

Too small.

Next one,
next one,
next one!

Judge: Good work, Charles.

So, I heard you had
something to do with

Joey's lifeguard
station coming down
yesterday.

Yeah? Where'd
you hear that?

Small world.
People see things.

Word gets around.

You know, you shouldn't
stay so close to
other surfers.

Might get yourself
in trouble.

Judges can't
see everything.

Next contestant
is Tom Travis.

What the...?

Wait for the next one.

Uh, nice ride, but we have
some penalties here.

Tom Travis will be penalized
15 points for interference

as well as 15 points for
unsportsmanlike conduct.

Next contestant is Bo Riley.

What happened?

Bo. He grabbed my leash
through the wave.

I hope
he breaks his neck.

Well, tell the judges.

Well, it's just
his word against mine.

Who do you think
they'll side with?

Pretty small wave.
No challenge points.

We'll have our final
point tallies shortly.

No, it was my fault.

I told you to stay where
the best break was.

I should have known
Bo would be there, too.

But let's go to
the judges anyway.

You go.

Sorry, Tom. We were
rooting for ya.

Thanks.

Will the following contestants

please report to
the judges' stand--

Bo Riley and...Tom Travis.

What now?

Judge: All right, now,
I want to hear from
both of you

what went on out there.

You first.

Tell 'em, Tom.

Look, he doesn't
need your help.

What happened out there?

That guy reached
underwater and grabbed
his safety leash.

That is a complete lie.

You'll get your chance.
Go on.

Well, it made
Tom here fall.

Yeah?

So he punched him.

Ok, now you.

Well, I was waiting
for my turn to surf,

minding my own business,

when out of the blue
this punk tries to
punch me.

I don't know what
his problem is.

Judge: Ok, fine,
thank you.

Now we'll have to
make a decision.

We'll be posting
final scores shortly.

At least maybe you
can win something.

Good surfing,
you guys.
Yeah, good luck.

Thanks.thanks.

Judge: We've had a correction
in this unfortunate
penalty situation.

Tom Travis will be
penalized only 15 points

for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Bo Riley will be deducted
15 points for interference

and an additional 15 points
for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Hey, relax man.
You'll still win.

Judge: And now here are
the award winners.

Third prize with 132 challenge
points and 125 style points

for a total score of 257
is Mark kusick.

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Second prize, with 140 challenge
points and 119 style points

for a total score of 259
is mongo Andrews.

And first prize, with
131 challenge points

and 138 style points
for a total score of 269

is Charles Finley!

Yeah! You did it!

After subtracting
penalty points,

the fourth place finisher
is Tom Travis

and fifth place goes
to Bo Riley.

Yeah! You beat him.

You can't believe him.
He's not even from around here.

Besides, you gotta give me
a second chance.

That was a ridiculous wave.
You saw how small mine was.

Yeah, we all saw how...
Small yours is.

Hey, it's a small world.

People see things.
Word gets around.

The judges' decisions are final.

We both beat Bo.

He actually got more
points than me.

Well, yeah, but
the thing to remember is

Bo felt he had to
cheat to beat you.

And they only remember
the final score

and you beat him.

Hello?

Hey, how you doing.
It's your mom.

Good, good. No,
everything's fine here.

Yeah, Tom's gloating over
beating the town bully

and former surfing champ
in the surfing competition.

Yeah. Well,
wait a minute, no,

I'll let you talk to him.

Ok, here.

Hi...yeah.

Yeah, it was no
big deal, though.

Just 16 and under.

Mrs. Travis:
Still that's great.
Just great.

Well, I've got
some good news...

Actually some good news
and some bad news.

All the legal proceedings
have been settled

between your father and me.

Uh-huh.

And as a result, well,
I sold the old house

and we've got
a brand new condominium.

What?

It's at highland Avenue
at green bay road.

It's got a pool and--

that's in forest Glen,
isn't it?

I don't have to
change schools, do I?

Forest Glen has a much
better school system,

and I understand their
hockey team is better, too.

Tom?...are you there?

Yeah.

Well, that's the good news.
The bad news is...

Well, unfortunately,
the new condo
doesn't allow dogs.

I'm sorry. I know it's
not an easy thing,

but dumper's out with a very
nice family on a big farm

out in fox valley.
He'd be much happier there

than cramped up
in a condo all day.

You know that,
Tom, don't you?

Honey?

I'm not going back
that's it.

Can I stay at
your house,

maybe start
school here?

That wouldn't look good.

I mean, the d.A. Harboring
a missing kid? Uncool.

Where else
can I go?

It doesn't have to
be your house.
Maybe the beach.

Nah. Not with Bo
and the lifeguards here.

What about down
by our cove?

No, the tide comes in,
and what would you do

if it got cool or
started to rain?

I'm not moving
to forest Glen.

She shoulda just as
well said Siberia.

Living in a condo?
No dumper?

What about the mine?
The superstition gold mine?

Well, at least for
a little while

till we can find
someplace better.

It just might work.

The breakfast of champions.

Shhh.

Come on.

Wait, I want to stop
and see Traci.

What do ya mean?
You wanna get caught?

I just wanna see her.

She's gonna want
to come along, too.

Well, what's wrong with that?

The problem is there
aren't enough fruit loops.

She'll bring
cari along, too.

Well...let's go.

Fin: This is
the bad entrance.

They dynamited this one
to keep the people out.

There's a better one
up this way,

but, uh, we should probably
leave our bikes here.

Fin: Look at you loners.

Cari: Hold on, fin.

Hurry up.

Ahhh!
God!

Quit it, you cretin.

Ah, this is the main shaft.

We should probably leave
a candle somewhere

to Mark our path.

We should set up camp here.

How many tunnels
are there?

I'm not sure. I've explored
in here a lot, but, uh,

I've heard these tunnels
go on for miles...

Unless they've caved in.

It's creepy down here.

It's too quiet.
I want to go back up.

Oh, real brave,
cari.

I don't care.
I'm claustrophobic.

Can we go back up, fin?

Uh, sure, yeah,
I'll take her back up

and, uh, you guys
can explore a little.

So, uh, why don't we
look around some?

Ok.

Which one?

That one.

Here, we'll leave
a candle here

to Mark our path
so we can get back.

Ooh, glad
I'm out of there.

It's gross.

So now what do
we do? Just wait?

We could play Blackjack.

Oh, I don't know how.

Oh, it's easy. The object
is to get 21 or as close--

I'm horrible at math.

Well, how about...Hearts?

I don't know
that either.

How about...Old maid?

Bo-ring.

Tom: Wow, this is really cool.

Let's go down here.

It looks like it
goes down further.

I'll take 3.

Ok, I open.

I'll bet you my thongs.

I'll bet you my underwear

and I'll raise you
one "truth or dare".

What?! You can't bet
a "truth or dare".

Sure I can. Just 'cause
I've run out of clothes
I can still bet

and I raise you
one "truth or dare".

Ok, ok, fine.

I'll see your one
"truth or dare"

and raise you
my shirt and bra.

That's worth at least
2 "truth or dares".

Now we're talkin'.

What do you have?

Hope you brought
the suntan oil--

4 queens, Ace high.

What?! 4 queens?!

I have 3 queens
and 2 fives.

What do you mean,
7 queens in this deck,
you little cheater?

Cheater? Me?

Fin, don't,
I'm ticklish! Ah!

We've gone pretty far.
Shouldn't we go back?

No, this is fun.

Besides, we've still
got a few more candles
to Mark our path.

It's getting chilly.

You want my sweater?
I'm not cold.

No, that's ok.

No, seriously,
I don't mind.

What time is it?

Don't you have a watch?

Well, you won it from me.

Oh...oh...

It's 12:30.

You know, maybe we'd better
look for Tom and Traci.

Fin, in singsong voice:
Hello?

Here we come.

Yoo-hoo!

You guys!

Ready or not!

Tom? Traci?
Where are you guys?

Ok, I think they're
trying to trick us.

You guys, we're onto you.

It's not funny anymore.

Maybe we should go back.

We've been gone awhile.

Things were just
getting good.

Well, kerosene's
running low anyway.

We'll just save it
and use more candles.

But you've only
got one left.

Yeah, but we'll collect
the others we left

on the way back. Come on.

See? Now you've
got one, too.

What was that?!

Probably just some water
dripping down somewhere.

It sounded like
a footstep.

Cut it out.
You're imagining things.

Fin: Tom! Traci!

Where are you guys?

Why haven't
they come back?

It's been more
than 4 hours.

Maybe they got lost
or had a cave-in.

Maybe one of them
fell and got hurt.

Fin, let's go get help.

Tom, come on.

Fin, this is
really weird.

I feel like we're being
watched or something.

Jeez. Tom is gonna kill me
for this, but let's go back up.

You can wait by the exit
for someone to come out

and I'll go to town
and get some help.

All right, I know I left
a candle burning here.

Where is it?

Maybe it burned
down already.

Maybe there's just
a pile of wax.

Where is it?

Well, maybe it blew out
or tipped over.

Here's the match.

I don't get it.

I do.

This has fin's name
written all over it.

They've probably been
following us around
picking up our candles

and they're gonna ambush
us or something stupid.

Oh, fin, cari, we're in on
your dumb joke.

Tom, how are we gonna
get out of here?

I don't need candles.
I know the way out.

We took, um...This tunnel.

Come on.

Tom, I don't
remember this part.

Shhh. I'm trying to
figure this out.

And maybe we can hear
fin and cari.

They're probably
looking for us by now.

Somebody's been partying
down here.

Look.

Looks like it must
have been dynamited.

What's that?

That's fin. Ok,
we're onto you.

You can come out now,
you butthead.

I told you that I'd find you.

You made it easy for me.

Now I'm gonna have to
drive this pick...

Through your skull.

Fin said they used dynamite
to block the main entrance
of this mine, right?

Well, this looks like it's it,
and if we could get through
to the other side

that would be where our stuff
is and we can get out.

You killed him.

Let's get out of here.

Fin: Tom! Traci!

Hear that?

Fin! Cari! I can hear 'em.
We're coming!

Traci!

Tom! Traci!
We're here.

Are you two all right?

Cari: Traci,
where were you guys?

Fin: We've been looking
all over for you.
What happened?

Rockman...
He's back there.

I'm sorry this is
taking so long

but I want to get
all of this taken care of
while it's still fresh.

Ok, there's your statement.

It's all typed up.
If you'll sign there at the "x".

How much longer?

Not much.

Now that we're finished
with all the official stuff,

I, uh...I wanted to
talk to you.

Unofficially...

Fin told me about
why you're running away

and I...I guess I can't
blame you much.

But a lot of things that happen

can make a Mark on your life
whether you like it or not.

See, what I'm trying to tell you
is that you gotta carry on

and carry on
the best way you can

because lousy things happen
to everybody. You just...

You know, fin--he would
never tell you this,

but you're the best friend
he's ever had,

and your aunt sunny--
she says you've been
a fantastic kid this summer.

And you've been
a hero in this town.

But now I think it's time that
you go back where you belong,

with your parents, because you
can't just run away from things.

Look at rockman;

he's been running away
his whole life.
Look where it got him.

But if your only choice is
that abandoned gold mine,

then...you're welcome
to stay with us.

Anytime.

Thanks, Mr. Finley.

Would it be ok
if I just, um...

Walked back?

Under the circumstances--

I'm not going anywhere.
Honest.

It's not that far.

It's too early in
the morning to get
into trouble, anyway.

It's against my better
judgment, but...

Keep it.
I'll pick it up later.

Tom: You're crazy.

Fin: You can never
let it beat you!

They sure kept you
there long enough.

They thought I'd be going
back to Chicago today,

so they just wanted to
get everything done.

Are you?

Am I what?

Leaving?

M-Mr. Finley was
saying that, um,

you know, sometimes
the way things happen...

Aren't always fair
and, um...

And sometimes things
aren't always fair

but, uh, you just
gotta go on.

Or something like that.

So, yeah...I'm going.

Your mom called
about an hour ago. I...

I didn't have the heart
to tell her what happened.

I saved that for you.

She said she wasn't able to
back out of the sales agreement

on the forest Glen condo

but she was able
to get dumper back.

Dumper's back?

You hear that, Buddha?

Yeah, you'd like
ol' dumper, wouldn't ya?

He's just as stinky
as you are.

You know what?
You were right.

I did have a great summer.

Thanks aunt sunny...
For everything.

I'm so glad
you came out.

I, uh...I got
you something.

You'll like him.

Anyway, you're welcome
here next summer, too,

and I hope everything
works out ok

with your school
and all.

And here's Buddha's
going away present.

You can pass it on
to dumper.

You hang in there, kid.

Thanks, Mr. Finley.

You'll do just fine.

Tom...bye-bye.

I owe ya half
the reward money.

That's ok.
It's no big deal.

No, as soon as I get it,
I'll send it to you.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you, too.

I'll write.

So will I. Here...

Read it later.

Hey, hey, enough of
that stuff, all right?

Here, I, uh, got you
something to remember
us by...

Dude.

Thanks...dude.

Take care.

You too.

Hey, I figured it out.

There's only 284 days
until next summer.

How are you doing?

Fine.

How about a pillow?

Ok.
