Little Criminals (1995) - full transcript
Des is an eleven year old kid who has had a really bad deal in life. Crime and mischief are the main staples of his life and he and his friends cruise around the city and do things like vandalize, steal, light fires, and mug people. He thinks that he is untouchable because he cannot be charged until he is twelve. Cory becomes Des' best friend and they carry on like nothing can stop them; however, Des ends up at an assessment centre for troubled youths and may begin a new life without crime.
Hello.

Oh, my god!
Hey, quit that!

Did you see them do this?
- What was that for?
- Practice.
Hey, hey... It's Des...
And the midget army.
Whatcha got?
Alright, here, hang

- For you.
- For you.
Alright, come on, cough it up.
Here.
No, that?s not enough, man.
It was enough yesterday.
Yes, but yesterday you had back up.
Today...
And I think that one too.
Just business, huh?
Whatever.
Hey, no hard feelings, OK?
Alright?
Alright, look. I got a bonus.
Mind candy...
Have a nice flight.
- That guy?s a rip off!
- Like you?d know.
What you get?
Lick ?em ups, want some?
Yeah, gimme some.
He wouldn?t rip you like that
if Stack was standing there.
Chet gets what I give him.
That stuff could be rat poison.
So?
I hate junk mail.
Times 3 equals 33.
Alright, now you look and see
where to put the parenthesis.
I'm officer Clarke, I'm terribly
sorry... We have a problem.
Des...!
What did he do this time?
Last night was quite the party, Des.
You gotta wise up, bud.
- What?
- Last night.
- I was doing homework.
- Right.
Ditto for your pal Stacker.
Only he neglected to remember
turning 12 last month.
That?s why he?s gonna score 6 months
in the slammer for the job.
You just keep laughing, Des boy.
Come your 12th birthday I know 10 cops
who'll be at your door with a cake.
My buds and me jump you...
Pour gas on you,
burn your skin off.
You only got 6 shots in that gun.
We found the dink under the portable, Des.
I found him!
Shut up! I saw the dink first!
Yeah? I got the sticks.
Hey baby...
What did mommy give you
for me today, huh?
That?s it?
Is that it? Is that it?!
Hey, looky looky what I found.
You want it? Huh?
Maybe it?s got AIDS!
What do you think, huh?
You want it?
5 bucks tomorrow, right?
Don't be a stranger!
What's that for?
Victory.
Hi Mom.
Hey... Des.
How ya doin? honey?
Mom, turn that damn thing down!
Brought you somethin?.
Hey, that?s sweet of you, Des.
Supper's in the kitchen. Why don?t you
get yourself something to eat?
People are always making up lies about me.
Blaming everything on me,
shoving me around,
it?s not fair.
They put that guy
in the parking lot,
I wasn?t even there.
I was home helping my mom,
you can ask her if
you don?t believe me.
You fight good and that?s why you
got kicked out of your last school.
What?s it to ya?
Ever do anything else?
So, what are you, man? King Shit?
That?s right, hop on.
Is this yours?
It is now.
Ride to school?
Screw school,
I thought you wanted in.
Shouldn?t you boys
be at school today?
No missus,
it?s a professional development day.
I could use one of those,
so how do you like ?em?
Too heavy,
maybe the smaller set.
Which ones are you after?
No, not those ones.
Maybe the other ones.
Yeah, the ones next to them.
What are you doing?!
19...
22...
42... 62... 72...
72.
Your share.
How come you get all that?
You don?t see me wasting time
lifting baby toys.
What are you gonna
do with this crap?
Hey, I got
something to show you.
Like what?
Check this.
What about ?em?
This one says I?m 10,
this one 9.
It really messes the cops.
- They can?t touch me.
- For real?
Wake up, man.
They can?t bust
you ?til you?re 12.
They can pick you up,
but they gotta let you go.
Like that?s the law.
- How d'you get ?em?
- I got ?em.
There's this thing going on tonight.
You should come.
You'll like it.
Don't think so.
I gotta be somewhere.
No fun for you.

Cory, eat something.
I hate rabbit food.

No, it?s good for him.
Why should we go on a
diet just cause he does?
Come on Cory,
this food makes sense.
Oh, yeah right.
Just finish your meal so we
can get to the meeting. OK?
And Vince, either take the baby
or start clearing up.
- Here. - Hey, why should I have
to go to the meeting?
He?s the drunk.
Cory, cut it.
That?s old news.
Look, if he doesn?t want to
go, he should just stay home.
We go as a family.
Look, there?s no point in forcin? him.
Look, stay here if you want, Cory.
What do ya say?
I hate lettuce.
And the pitbull ate
her hand right off,
and my brother,
he like went to my bull pen,
and he took out a baseball bat and
he started like nailing the dog,
and there was like guts all over
and this big puddle of blood,
and when the cops came
after, they, they like
thanked him cause they said
they were gonna kill him anyway.
What are we waiting for?
'til I say so.
Check this.
Woah, I?m in love.
Love sucks, man.
You just gotta pop
?em and drop ?em.
Well Jamal'd piss himself if
he really had to do somethin?.
He wouldn?t know where to start.
Piss on you.
Hey. Des has done it, man.
Straight leg, 69,
the works.
Did he really?
But Jamal here,
he just gets the pictures,
cause he ain?t got the hardware.
Eat me.
- Say it again.
- You heard me.
Hey Cory, man.
Just in time.
Who said he could come?
Who says he can?t?
Like I said,
you ain?t got the hardware.

Hey, Mouse.
Thanks, just what I needed.
How much we gettin??

Des, let?s move!
Oh, wicked.
Des, your arm!
Put it out!
I got it, I got it.
C'mon, back door!
Open it!
Oh shit!
Get out of the way, I?ll do it.
Come on, hurry up!
Did you get it?
There?s more where
that came from.
Look at ?em! Babies!
Sure.
I got somethin? for ya.
You got me a pager?
Not hooked up
yet, but it will be.
Does this mean I?m in?
Good back up.
Des, what's this do?
Des...!
What'd you do that for?
Somebody?s gotta do it.
Beat the brat to it.
Engage!
Hey boys...
We?re gonna take Bobby
to the doctor now.
Keep an eye on your sister.
Alright, Cory?
She?s not my sister.
Let?s not argue,
just pull your weight, Cory.
It?s no problem,
we can bring her with us.
No! He?s big enough to
take some responsibility.
We?re gonna be late.
Bye.
Look...
It?s the baby?s
first booster shot.
Your mom?s kinda
nervous about it.
So?
So,
we appreciate you doing this.
We?
Feed your friend
something if he wants it.
They?re outta here.
Found some food, huh?
Play with me, play with me.
Play with me.
Know what happens if you
lose your monkey in the jungle?
Sitting there all alone
in the dark...
Tiger lunch.
So, if you want no dead
monkey, hang onto it.
Hey, Des...
Let's start.
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy?s gone. Shut up!
Hey, I know somethin? we can do.
Like what?
Fun.
Everything went to shit
when Vince moved in.
Stupid goof.
How long has he been around?
Ever since he knocked up my mom.
At least you?re not
stuck in a foster home.
Are you?
No way, you?d never get me in
one of those stinkin? piss holes.
Hey, what?s your Dad like?
He?s like, dead.
Tell me what?s in this picture.
The big dog?s coming for dinner.
Does the big dog live here?
Sometimes.
And what?s for dinner?
The little dog.
It?s taking too
long, let?s split.
No man, relax, it?s cool.
Come on, come on.
Let?s just get out of here.
She?s in.
Come on, over here.
C'mon here, the lock.
Over here, stupid.
Come on, stop, you little spaz,
just open the door!
Hey Nonny!
How?s the monkey doin??
OK.
Do you want me
to make sure it?s OK?
- OK, then you gotta let me in.
- OK.
OK.
Come on, hurry up.
OK, come here then.
OK, put your hand
on the doorknob.
OK, see that little twisty
thing beneath your hand?
Yeah, give that a turn.
OK, now open the door.
Good job.
That?s all of them, let?s go.
- Smile.
- Hey, turn that thing off!
Why not?
Seriously, man.
You shoot it then.
What are you doin??
Thinking.
About what?
You're nuts, man!
Hey, pick it up!
That?s worth somethin?!
Screw you, asshole.
Did I scare ya?
Check-out time.
- Good haul.
- Are we clear?
- You know it.
- Let?s boot.
My monkey!
We?re goin? now.
I need my monkey!
Listen, we gotta go.
I need my monkey!
Shut up, we gotta roll.
Tiger gonna eat it.
I said shut your face.
M... Monkey!
Let?s just get it.
He said that... it's gonna be...
You had it in the living
room, right?
I don?t know.
- Did you leave it in the bathroom?
- I don?t know.
There it is!
OK, we got it, let?s roll.
Let us go, we didn?t do nothin?.
What were you doing
in that house then?
We were getting his sister's toy
monkey, you saw it.
And how did the
monkey get in there?
She dropped it.
Well, would you look who?s here.
Smile!
Welcome to the wall of shame,
you little nobs.
Where are you takin? us?
Nowhere,
they can?t keep us here.
That?s right, smart ass.
What are you doing here anyway,
hanging with this loser?
What happened to my sister?
You hear that?
He cares about his sister.
She's with a social worker upstairs.
Man, you really blew this one.
Let us go,
you can?t keep us here.
Not yet, dizzy boy, but when the
clock strikes 12, you?re mine.
Believe me pal, if you don?t slow down,
you?re gonna be dead before you?re 20.
Promise?
Why do you waste your time
with that little shitrat?
You ever see where
he comes from?
It?s like friggin? Beirut.
Oh, cry me a river, man.
Look, lots of us scrambled out of way
worse holes than that little scumbag.
Your scumbag is 11.
Save it, man.
All I want to do is lock
the little mutant up.
Oh, great!
Bust him in kindergarten.
Might as well be waiting with
a warrant in the delivery room.
Can you do that?
C'mon breathe it or somethin?, man.**
What are they gonna do to us?
Nothin?. They got no choice
but to let us go.
Then what are we
still doin? here?
They?re just lettin? us stew.
Why did you go back, man?
We were home free.
You?ve never been here before.
Yeah, so what about it?
My first time here...
I pissed my pants.
Bullshit, really?
Yeah, you could see the
puddle and everything.
Gross!
Yeah, I was like 6.
No way.
Now, we found the
pillowcase of CDs.
All we want to know is what you
did with the rest of the stuff.
We didn?t take nothin?.
Oh, you didn?t take nothing, huh?
Well, we?ll find out soon enough.
You see, the owner sent us
an itemised list of everything.
Yeah right.
They haven?t been
there in a month.
See, what'd I tell ya?
The kid's a nob,
he?s been casing the joint.
I?m underage, I?ve got ID.
Yeah, you can?t touch us.
Right?
That?s right,
we can?t do anything.
Except for this.
Let?s call your mommy.
One ringy-dingy,
two ringy-dingy.
When?s it my turn to call?
Shut up.
I?ll deal with you
later, big boy.
Four ringy-dingy...
Bingo!
Hello, Ms. Welsh?
Police Constable
Kostash, youth division.
Yeah, your son wants
to have a word with you.
Mom?
Police station.
Yeah, I?m fine.
She is too.
Mom, please don?t cry.
Mom, please.
Don?t.
Oh man, she?s gonna kill me.
Des?
Des?
I can?t believe this.
What was in your head,
takin? Nonny?
You always say never
to leave her alone, right?
Cory, you could have
been risking her life.
That?s all you ever care about... pig!
OK, let?s get out of here.
Officer.
See?
They can?t touch us.
See you tomorrow, bud!
Stay away from him, you hear me?
I don?t want to see you
near him ever again.
Do you remember your Dad?
No.
What do you know about him?
What do you know about him, Des?
He burned up in a fire.
What was he doing?
Putting it out.
Was he a fireman?
Sounds like a hero.
Des?
I don?t know.
Quiet.
Shh.
That was gross, man!
Did you get it?
Wicked shot, Des, alright.
Give me some space.
Hey, there?s another one.
Get it!
No, over there! Get that one.
If you?re not gonna do it,
let me.
- What?
- It?s his turn.
- I'm playing. - I?ve been
waitin? an hour.
My gun.
- You know why Des is
bein? such a dink? - Why?
His boyfriend isn?t
coming anymore.
Relax man, relax.
I saw him, Des.
He was walkin? with his Dad.
Not his Dad.
Just the guy dickin? his mom.
My kid's running wild with a drug-dealing
thug and you wanna be reasonable?
What do you wanna do?
Ground the kid for the rest of his life?
He doesn?t need a friend,
Vince, he needs a father.
- Look, I told you to leave Cory alone.
- Let me talk to him.
Stupid bastard, stupid,
stupid, stupid...
Cory!
Cory!
Cory!!
Mom, Grandma, Cory,
and this box we?ll call nobody.
Now, I?m going to give you a card and
you put it in the first person you think of.
OK?
"Cheerful"
"Takes care of me"
"Understands me"
"Is never there"
"Loves me"
"I?d like to kill"
"I?m happy when this
person is around"
Let?s go for a ride!
What's up?
- Hey baby, how much for a blow?
- Blow me!
Hey, watch it, man.
- Hey man, you got smokes?
- No.
Well, I need ?em.
Well, I don?t got ?em.
Then I gotta get ?em.
- Hey, slow down, man!
- Why?
What are you doin??!
Shit!
Cool.
Guard the truck.
Hey, do you know what time it is?
No.
Me neither.
Got somethin? for you.
Awh, Des, sweetie.
Get yourself somethin? to eat.
I already ate.
You know what we gotta do?
- Get 'too'd.

Hey, you ain?t seen shit, man.
Ooh, big man!
Alright...

Screw you!
Hey, hey,

I didn?t realise you're so desperate.
70.
Pleasure doin?
business with you, boys.
Turd sucker!
Des, come here.
Payback.
Oh, you bad man.
- Come on!
- I'm stuck!
Ow!
There you go, little buddy.
- How does it look?
- Total value,
it?s all yours.
Hey,
remember to keep those clean.
Good tip.
This is cool.
- Nothin? stops us.
- Nothin'.
Shit!
I told you to stay
away from him!
Let me go!
You?ll kill any
chance that kid has.
Do you know what you?re
doing to this family?
Back off!
You shouldn?t be
waving that around.
What do you want?
Come on, put it away.
I'll put it away,
I?ll put it in you.
Cool it, alright?
Just cool it!
Cory...
Cory, talk to him.
Nobody dicks with me.
Don?t.
Don't. Oh, don't, please.
Bang!
He?s been out all night.
We haven?t heard
a thing from him.
Don?t worry, he?ll show up.
That boy?s leash
just got very short.
Find my son.
That?s it, huh? That?s it? You're
telling me that?s all you got, huh?
He?s lyin?, Des,
he?s lyin? to me.
I hate liars. Give me it.
- Serious?
- Give me the gun.
No please, no.
You lie, you die.
Kiss goodbye, punk.
Ten bucks tomorrow
or you drown for real.
Hey man, did you see that?
He pissed himself, man.
No man, you pissed yourself.
Dick hole!
You?re dead, man.
So dead!
Hey, you bozos. Come here.
Come here!
Hey Chet, man...
Just in time.
You got a couple drops
of windowpane on ya?
Maybe later.
Alright, listen...
Some glue head whipped into my apartment
and ripped off that camera you guys sold me.
That sucks big time.
Yeah, well, not bigger than the price
that?s gonna be paid for the deed.
Check this out.
What is it?
This is a piece of
the perpetrator.
Either of you seen it before?
No.
- Uh? - No.
Hey,
I?ll find out who the goof is.
And give him to you.
It?ll kinda be like
a birthday present.
Yeah? Not for the perp.
Guy?s a pure chump, man.
Bam! Seagal kicks ass.
Seagal's wank shit.
Van Damme.
- Seagal knows guns.
- He knows dick, man.
Van Damme's real,
in 'Hard Target'...
That guy with the
missile launcher?
Van Damme took him out for real.
That guy was bagged and tagged.
Death kick to the throat.
- Seagal...
- Van Damme couldn?t take Seagal.
In two seconds.
Seagal?s 'fake, he?s a fag.
'Under Siege' my ass.
What is it?
Check the car beside my house.
Yeah, so?
Vince ratted.
Sorry, man.
What do you want me to do?
Nothin?.
Just go.
Later.
I don't think you're listening to me. He put
a stolen truck through a plate glass window.
Everyone?s a
monster to you cops.
You see a psycho,
I see my kid.
So, who says he pulled a
gun, huh?
You got witnesses?
Oh, look.
The kid?s already out of control,
and it?s just gettin? worse.
OK, so what do you want me to do?
Tie him up and drag
him to work with me?
If you can?t handle the
kid, then give him up.
I?m his mother.
Then act like it!
Put him in care,
it?s his only chance.
I know about care.
I?ve been there.
You wanna know about
those stinkin? piss holes?
About foster parents?
About foster daddies?
Where the hell you
think Des comes from?
We?re just trying to do
what?s best for your son.
Get the hell out of my house.
Get out.
Get out!
Mom!
Mummy...
What were you saying to them?
About what?
A foster home.
About my Dad.
I said he was a piece of shit,
just like you.
Only difference is,
he?s a dead piece of shit.
What the hell do you think I am,
bringing the cops down on me?
I didn?t know they were comin?.
You got no brains
gettin? caught like that.
Wavin? guns!
I didn?t do nothin?,
Mom, I swear.
You make them think I?m unfit.
No, I don?t, Mom, you?re fit.
You are, Mom.
I'm trash. I'm trash.
Trash, that's what I am.
Trash, just like you!
Oh my god.
Oh, baby, I?m sorry.
I?m sorry, I?m sorry.
I?m so sorry.
I?m sorry... I?m sorry.
I'm sorry.
You just took a lot of stitches.
Yeah.
- What happened?
- I got jumped.
Tough out there, huh?
- Did you see who did it?
- 3 guys.
They took my wallet.
Well, you should try
and get some sleep, OK?
Des.
Hey, Des.
- Des...
- Where?s Cory?
Back at home.
I want to see him.
That won?t be happening
for a long time.
I didn?t do nothin?.
I know.
You?re going to a place
called the Children?s House.
You?ve been put in care, Des.
You can?t, you?ve gotta
have parent?s permission.
We got it, Des.
No way you get it. From who?
From your mother.
- You?re lying.
- It?s true.
No way, she wouldn?t.
She just signed the form.
No. No way.
Hello, Des.
Hello, Des?
Hello.
Fuck you!
I?d like to show you some cards.
All you have to do is tell me
what they make you think of.
I can turn the camera off
if it?s bothering you.
Or I can leave it on.
You know...
it doesn?t matter what you do,
I still get paid for being here.
Well...
That?s all for today.
See you next time.
Why don?t you have
something to eat, Des?
The fries are good tonight.
Have some.
It?s alright, Des...
You can have as much as you want.
How about some chicken?
What happened to your arm, Des?
Nothin?.
You should have the nurse
take a look at that.
What?
I just want to say goodnight
before lights out.
So?
Sleep tight.
And who?s coming to dinner?
- The big dog.
- And what?s for dinner?
The little dog.
OK...
Let?s look at another one.
Tug of war, two against one.
Who?s gonna win?
Two.
What will the loser do?
Kill ?em.
But they?re just playing!
So?
Very good.
- You want to look at another one?
- No.
- You were doing really well at it.
- It?s boring.
- Is it boring?
- Boring shit.
OK,
let?s try something different.
Bite me!
Fine, we?ll continue next time.
I?ll see you tomorrow, Des.
Ready?
It?s OK, I got another one.
Des, what?s going on?
Nothin?.
Well, you know the rules.
You want to learn to play,
we?ll teach you.
You want to wreck the
stuff, you?re out of here.
See you tomorrow.
We just need to take that bandage off
and make sure everything's healing nicely.
I can?t do it unless you
take your shirt off, Des.
What happened to your arm
there, Des?
Nothin?.
It looks like you?ve
got an infection.
It must really hurt.
Can I have a look?
Is it alright now?
I don?t know.
We?ll have to wait
and see how it heals.
Will you let me clean it up?
It?s probably wrecked.
Would you believe my
brother was a card sharp?
I guess it's just
not in my genes.
How did you learn
how to do that?
Just did.
Could you teach me?
OK.
OK, now what do I do?
You bend ?em like this.
OK, keep that there.
OK, let go.
You seem a little excited today.
No. Not really.
Hey, what?s this?
For you.
- A present?
- Uh-huh.
- How'd you know I smoked?
- I could tell.
Well, thank you very much, Des.
Where'd you get them?
I got them.
- Did you have to leave the grounds?
- Nope.
- Did you get them from someone?
- Nope.
Good.
Do you like to give presents?
Yeah, sometimes.
- To who?
- Whoever.
Like who?
How does your mom feel
when you give her a present?
Good.
Do you like it when
she feels like that?
Uh-huh.
What does she do
when she feels good?
She smiles.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
How does your mom feel
when you give her a present?
Good.
Do you like it when
she feels like that?
Uh-huh.
What does she do
when she feels good?
She smiles.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
She smiles at me.
You got a boyfriend?
Just one, my husband.
Rita,
can I talk to you for a second?
- What is it?
- I want you to look for yourself.
Mitch has noticed that Des
has been stealing pencils.
And?
And, he found this.
What?s this?
I thought we?d try
something different today.
Like what?
I?d like you to draw something.
I don?t know how.
Sure, you do.
Who says?
Just draw anything.
Anything you want.
Come on, Des.
I know you can do better than that.
What is that?
What do you care?
I?m sorry I was in your room, Des.
I had no right.
- It doesn?t matter.
- No, it does matter.
Oh yeah?
I wish we had more time, Des.
Sure.
Because your stay here with us
will be finished soon.
I don?t mind staying.
Yeah, but... this isn?t a residence, Des,
it's just an evaluation centre.
So? I could stay.
Well,
there?s new kids coming in.
There?s just not enough space.
This coz of what I did to my room?
No...
No, you had every
right to get mad.
You?ve done everything
really well.
I can?t go back home.
It?s OK, you don?t have to.
We pulled some strings,
found you a really cool place.
What kinda place?
The best foster
home in the city.
A foster home?
Yeah. Des, it?s OK. I checked it out
myself, it?s really great.
I?m not goin?.
We don?t have a choice.
What did I do wrong?
Nothing.
You did nothing wrong.
Des, you gotta believe me.
Des?
Yo man, look what I got.
- What is it?
- It's gun, man.
Hey, Des. Over here.
Hey, look. It?s me, man.
How ya doin??
OK.
Weird place, huh?
It sucks.
So, you comin??
Come on man, we gotta blow.
Unless you?d rather stay here?
Yeah, right.
Hey, wait up, Des!
Are you crazy?!
I can?t go back.
What you talkin? about?
They?re puttin? me
in a foster home.
No way, we?ll just take off.
Where?
Who cares?
Vince and my mom got me
grounded so bad it?s like jail.
I?ve been locked up for 3
weeks and I?m sick of it.
I took off from school at lunch
today and I ain?t goin? back.
I want out.
You got cash?
No, but we know someone
who does.
Like who?
Chet?s always flush.
Picked it up from
your place last night.
Still works?
I don?t know, let?s try it.
Hey Chet!
That?s what you do
with it, right?
You wave it at ?im, he shits his pants,

What?s with you,

Come on man, we?re the best.
Nothin? stops us.
What happened t'your ?too?
It got infected.
That sucks.
Life sucks.
Let?s kick.
Yeah!
Well, well, well,

Figure out who ripped
the camera we sold ya?
I?m on the case.
Hey, check the jacket.
What d?ya know? We got a perfect
match here, Cinderella.
So you gonna tell me what this is all about?
Is this kiss and make up time?

Just relax, everything's fine.
Give us your money, jerk-off.
You want money?
No problem, I got some right here.
- I?ll get it.

Goof!
Took you long enough, man.
Hey, check this, man.
We are happening!
Let?s boot.
History.
What are you doing?
Don?t do it, please!
Aren?t you up yet?
You better start moving, kiddo.
School.
I can?t go.
Oh Cory,
don?t start playing games with me.
I?m sick.
Cory, you know the rules.
I don?t feel good.
We both know there?s
nothin? wrong with you.
Cory, is it something else?
No.
You in some kind of
trouble at school?
No, no way.
So?
You still feel crummy after school,
we?ll take you to the doctor.
OK?
The truck?s leavin?

Move it.
- Seen ?im?
- No way.
What d'you want him for, Des?
I just want him.
He?s not here yet, his Dad drops him off.
I can show you where.
I know where.
You've been doin? just fine ?til this
morning, what?s goin? on?
Nothin?, it?s just today.
I can?t go today.
What is it?
You got a test in math?
Screw you!
You know what, Cory? Screw you!
You?re in a box.
You made it, you live in it.
Go on, get out.
Move it. I?m out of here.
I thought he was put away?
He was.
You must be happy then.
You got somethin? to do today.
Get yourselves killed.
Go on, he?s waitin?.
Just get the hell out!
What?s goin? on, Cory?
Nothin?.
Talk to me.
I can?t.
Try.
Don?t make me.
Don?t make me go in there.
Why?
Please?
Please!
OK.
OK.
Vince?
You just stay here with me.
Lock the doors.
You?re safe now, alright?
I don?t think so.
I was there.
The running?s over, son.
People try to help you,
I try to help you, but...
...nothin? changes.
Get out of my face!
- You?re with me 'til the social
worker comes to pick you up. - No!
Hey, Des!
May 29th!
Your Mom gave us the
date on the form.
You're 12 next month.
Happy birthday, pal.
Mom? Mom?
Mom?
I?m sleepin?.
Mom, it?s me.
So you went back into the
house to get Nonny?s monkey?
Yeah.
Why?
She was cryin? and stuff.
Like she wanted it bad, right.
Did Cory wanna go get it?
No.
He was afraid of gettin? caught.
I made him come.
- Did you find it?
- Yeah.
It was under the chair.
That was a very nice
thing for you to do, Des.
She was cryin? real bad.
What did hearing her
cry make you feel like?
Bad, I guess.
You ever felt that way before?
I don?t remember.
Sync and corrections by FatPlank.
Fuck you!
Oh, my god!
Hey, quit that!
You little bastard!
Gotcha!
Let go!
We roll. History.
Er, eheh. Hello, Mr Tree. We were
hoping you could help us...
Find something yet?
Yeah, this one.
Come on man, your little sister?s
gotta watch it too.
What sister?
- Just keep looking, Cory, will ya?
- I looked!
Just get what you want...
that?s what you?re gonna do anyway.
Cory, come on.
Hey! Hey!
Did you see that?
Did you see them do this?
- What was that for?
- Practice.
Hey, hey... It's Des...
And the midget army.
Whatcha got?
Alright, here, hang
onto this. OK.
- For you.
- For you.
Alright, come on, cough it up.
Here.
No, that?s not enough, man.
It was enough yesterday.
Yes, but yesterday you had back up.
Today...
And I think that one too.
Just business, huh?
Whatever.
Hey, no hard feelings, OK?
Alright?
Alright, look. I got a bonus.
Mind candy...
Have a nice flight.
- That guy?s a rip off!
- Like you?d know.
What you get?
Lick ?em ups, want some?
Yeah, gimme some.
He wouldn?t rip you like that
if Stack was standing there.
Chet gets what I give him.
That stuff could be rat poison.
So?
I hate junk mail.
Times 3 equals 33.
Alright, now you look and see
where to put the parenthesis.
I'm officer Clarke, I'm terribly
sorry... We have a problem.
Des...!
What did he do this time?
Last night was quite the party, Des.
You gotta wise up, bud.
- What?
- Last night.
- I was doing homework.
- Right.
Ditto for your pal Stacker.
Only he neglected to remember
turning 12 last month.
That?s why he?s gonna score 6 months
in the slammer for the job.
You just keep laughing, Des boy.
Come your 12th birthday I know 10 cops
who'll be at your door with a cake.
My buds and me jump you...
Pour gas on you,
burn your skin off.
You only got 6 shots in that gun.
We found the dink under the portable, Des.
I found him!
Shut up! I saw the dink first!
Yeah? I got the sticks.
Hey baby...
What did mommy give you
for me today, huh?
That?s it?
Is that it? Is that it?!
Hey, looky looky what I found.
You want it? Huh?
Maybe it?s got AIDS!
What do you think, huh?
You want it?
5 bucks tomorrow, right?
Don't be a stranger!
What's that for?
Victory.
Hi Mom.
Hey... Des.
How ya doin? honey?
Mom, turn that damn thing down!
Brought you somethin?.
Hey, that?s sweet of you, Des.
Supper's in the kitchen. Why don?t you
get yourself something to eat?
People are always making up lies about me.
Blaming everything on me,
shoving me around,
it?s not fair.
They put that guy
in the parking lot,
I wasn?t even there.
I was home helping my mom,
you can ask her if
you don?t believe me.
You fight good and that?s why you
got kicked out of your last school.
What?s it to ya?
Ever do anything else?
So, what are you, man? King Shit?
That?s right, hop on.
Is this yours?
It is now.
Ride to school?
Screw school,
I thought you wanted in.
Shouldn?t you boys
be at school today?
No missus,
it?s a professional development day.
I could use one of those,
so how do you like ?em?
Too heavy,
maybe the smaller set.
Which ones are you after?
No, not those ones.
Maybe the other ones.
Yeah, the ones next to them.
What are you doing?!
19...
22...
42... 62... 72...
72.
Your share.
How come you get all that?
You don?t see me wasting time
lifting baby toys.
What are you gonna
do with this crap?
Hey, I got
something to show you.
Like what?
Check this.
What about ?em?
This one says I?m 10,
this one 9.
It really messes the cops.
- They can?t touch me.
- For real?
Wake up, man.
They can?t bust
you ?til you?re 12.
They can pick you up,
but they gotta let you go.
Like that?s the law.
- How d'you get ?em?
- I got ?em.
There's this thing going on tonight.
You should come.
You'll like it.
Don't think so.
I gotta be somewhere.
No fun for you.
Piece of crap.
How many days in a week, Des?

Days of the week.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Happy?

November,
February.
- Finished?
- Yeah.
Those are the months.
Cory, eat something.
I hate rabbit food.
Well, it?s good for ya.
No, it?s good for him.
Why should we go on a
diet just cause he does?
Come on Cory,
this food makes sense.
Oh, yeah right.
Just finish your meal so we
can get to the meeting. OK?
And Vince, either take the baby
or start clearing up.
- Here. - Hey, why should I have
to go to the meeting?
He?s the drunk.
Cory, cut it.
That?s old news.
Look, if he doesn?t want to
go, he should just stay home.
We go as a family.
Look, there?s no point in forcin? him.
Look, stay here if you want, Cory.
What do ya say?
I hate lettuce.
And the pitbull ate
her hand right off,
and my brother,
he like went to my bull pen,
and he took out a baseball bat and
he started like nailing the dog,
and there was like guts all over
and this big puddle of blood,
and when the cops came
after, they, they like
thanked him cause they said
they were gonna kill him anyway.
What are we waiting for?
'til I say so.
Check this.
Woah, I?m in love.
Love sucks, man.
You just gotta pop
?em and drop ?em.
Well Jamal'd piss himself if
he really had to do somethin?.
He wouldn?t know where to start.
Piss on you.
Hey. Des has done it, man.
Straight leg, 69,
the works.
Did he really?
But Jamal here,
he just gets the pictures,
cause he ain?t got the hardware.
Eat me.
- Say it again.
- You heard me.
Hey Cory, man.
Just in time.
Who said he could come?
Who says he can?t?
Like I said,
you ain?t got the hardware.
Nick.
31 Frazer.
Hey, Mouse.
Thanks, just what I needed.
How much we gettin??
Enough.
- Nick!
- You sure?
Nick!
Make a wish.
- Yes! - Woah-ho!
- Holy cow!
Get out of here!
Des, let?s move!
Oh, wicked.
Des, your arm!
Put it out!
I got it, I got it.
C'mon, back door!
Open it!
Oh shit!
Get out of the way, I?ll do it.
Come on, hurry up!
Did you get it?
There?s more where
that came from.
Look at ?em! Babies!
Sure.
I got somethin? for ya.
You got me a pager?
Not hooked up
yet, but it will be.
Does this mean I?m in?
Good back up.
Des, what's this do?
Des...!
What'd you do that for?
Somebody?s gotta do it.
Beat the brat to it.
Engage!
Hey boys...
We?re gonna take Bobby
to the doctor now.
Keep an eye on your sister.
Alright, Cory?
She?s not my sister.
Let?s not argue,
just pull your weight, Cory.
It?s no problem,
we can bring her with us.
No! He?s big enough to
take some responsibility.
We?re gonna be late.
Bye.
Look...
It?s the baby?s
first booster shot.
Your mom?s kinda
nervous about it.
So?
So,
we appreciate you doing this.
We?
Feed your friend
something if he wants it.
They?re outta here.
Found some food, huh?
Play with me, play with me.
Play with me.
Know what happens if you
lose your monkey in the jungle?
Sitting there all alone
in the dark...
Tiger lunch.
So, if you want no dead
monkey, hang onto it.
Hey, Des...
Let's start.
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy?s gone. Shut up!
Hey, I know somethin? we can do.
Like what?
Fun.
Everything went to shit
when Vince moved in.
Stupid goof.
How long has he been around?
Ever since he knocked up my mom.
At least you?re not
stuck in a foster home.
Are you?
No way, you?d never get me in
one of those stinkin? piss holes.
Hey, what?s your Dad like?
He?s like, dead.
Tell me what?s in this picture.
The big dog?s coming for dinner.
Does the big dog live here?
Sometimes.
And what?s for dinner?
The little dog.
It?s taking too
long, let?s split.
No man, relax, it?s cool.
Come on, come on.
Let?s just get out of here.
She?s in.
Come on, over here.
C'mon here, the lock.
Over here, stupid.
Come on, stop, you little spaz,
just open the door!
Hey Nonny!
How?s the monkey doin??
OK.
Do you want me
to make sure it?s OK?
- OK, then you gotta let me in.
- OK.
OK.
Come on, hurry up.
OK, come here then.
OK, put your hand
on the doorknob.
OK, see that little twisty
thing beneath your hand?
Yeah, give that a turn.
OK, now open the door.
Good job.
That?s all of them, let?s go.
- Smile.
- Hey, turn that thing off!
Why not?
Seriously, man.
You shoot it then.
What are you doin??
Thinking.
About what?
You're nuts, man!
Hey, pick it up!
That?s worth somethin?!
Screw you, asshole.
Did I scare ya?
Check-out time.
- Good haul.
- Are we clear?
- You know it.
- Let?s boot.
My monkey!
We?re goin? now.
I need my monkey!
Listen, we gotta go.
I need my monkey!
Shut up, we gotta roll.
Tiger gonna eat it.
I said shut your face.
M... Monkey!
Let?s just get it.
He said that... it's gonna be...
You had it in the living
room, right?
I don?t know.
- Did you leave it in the bathroom?
- I don?t know.
There it is!
OK, we got it, let?s roll.
Let us go, we didn?t do nothin?.
What were you doing
in that house then?
We were getting his sister's toy
monkey, you saw it.
And how did the
monkey get in there?
She dropped it.
Well, would you look who?s here.
Smile!
Welcome to the wall of shame,
you little nobs.
Where are you takin? us?
Nowhere,
they can?t keep us here.
That?s right, smart ass.
What are you doing here anyway,
hanging with this loser?
What happened to my sister?
You hear that?
He cares about his sister.
She's with a social worker upstairs.
Man, you really blew this one.
Let us go,
you can?t keep us here.
Not yet, dizzy boy, but when the
clock strikes 12, you?re mine.
Believe me pal, if you don?t slow down,
you?re gonna be dead before you?re 20.
Promise?
Why do you waste your time
with that little shitrat?
You ever see where
he comes from?
It?s like friggin? Beirut.
Oh, cry me a river, man.
Look, lots of us scrambled out of way
worse holes than that little scumbag.
Your scumbag is 11.
Save it, man.
All I want to do is lock
the little mutant up.
Oh, great!
Bust him in kindergarten.
Might as well be waiting with
a warrant in the delivery room.
Can you do that?
C'mon breathe it or somethin?, man.**
What are they gonna do to us?
Nothin?. They got no choice
but to let us go.
Then what are we
still doin? here?
They?re just lettin? us stew.
Why did you go back, man?
We were home free.
You?ve never been here before.
Yeah, so what about it?
My first time here...
I pissed my pants.
Bullshit, really?
Yeah, you could see the
puddle and everything.
Gross!
Yeah, I was like 6.
No way.
Now, we found the
pillowcase of CDs.
All we want to know is what you
did with the rest of the stuff.
We didn?t take nothin?.
Oh, you didn?t take nothing, huh?
Well, we?ll find out soon enough.
You see, the owner sent us
an itemised list of everything.
Yeah right.
They haven?t been
there in a month.
See, what'd I tell ya?
The kid's a nob,
he?s been casing the joint.
I?m underage, I?ve got ID.
Yeah, you can?t touch us.
Right?
That?s right,
we can?t do anything.
Except for this.
Let?s call your mommy.
One ringy-dingy,
two ringy-dingy.
When?s it my turn to call?
Shut up.
I?ll deal with you
later, big boy.
Four ringy-dingy...
Bingo!
Hello, Ms. Welsh?
Police Constable
Kostash, youth division.
Yeah, your son wants
to have a word with you.
Mom?
Police station.
Yeah, I?m fine.
She is too.
Mom, please don?t cry.
Mom, please.
Don?t.
Oh man, she?s gonna kill me.
Des?
Des?
I can?t believe this.
What was in your head,
takin? Nonny?
You always say never
to leave her alone, right?
Cory, you could have
been risking her life.
That?s all you ever care about... pig!
OK, let?s get out of here.
Officer.
See?
They can?t touch us.
See you tomorrow, bud!
Stay away from him, you hear me?
I don?t want to see you
near him ever again.
Do you remember your Dad?
No.
What do you know about him?
What do you know about him, Des?
He burned up in a fire.
What was he doing?
Putting it out.
Was he a fireman?
Sounds like a hero.
Des?
I don?t know.
Quiet.
Shh.
That was gross, man!
Did you get it?
Wicked shot, Des, alright.
Give me some space.
Hey, there?s another one.
Get it!
No, over there! Get that one.
If you?re not gonna do it,
let me.
- What?
- It?s his turn.
- I'm playing. - I?ve been
waitin? an hour.
My gun.
- You know why Des is
bein? such a dink? - Why?
His boyfriend isn?t
coming anymore.
Relax man, relax.
I saw him, Des.
He was walkin? with his Dad.
Not his Dad.
Just the guy dickin? his mom.
My kid's running wild with a drug-dealing
thug and you wanna be reasonable?
What do you wanna do?
Ground the kid for the rest of his life?
He doesn?t need a friend,
Vince, he needs a father.
- Look, I told you to leave Cory alone.
- Let me talk to him.
Stupid bastard, stupid,
stupid, stupid...
Cory!
Cory!
Cory!!
Mom, Grandma, Cory,
and this box we?ll call nobody.
Now, I?m going to give you a card and
you put it in the first person you think of.
OK?
"Cheerful"
"Takes care of me"
"Understands me"
"Is never there"
"Loves me"
"I?d like to kill"
"I?m happy when this
person is around"
Let?s go for a ride!
What's up?
- Hey baby, how much for a blow?
- Blow me!
Hey, watch it, man.
- Hey man, you got smokes?
- No.
Well, I need ?em.
Well, I don?t got ?em.
Then I gotta get ?em.
- Hey, slow down, man!
- Why?
What are you doin??!
Shit!
Cool.
Guard the truck.
Hey, do you know what time it is?
No.
Me neither.
Got somethin? for you.
Awh, Des, sweetie.
Get yourself somethin? to eat.
I already ate.
You know what we gotta do?
- Get 'too'd.
- We got to.
- Money?
- Covered.
Yeah, this is, uh...
I seen better at the dump.
Hey, you ain?t seen shit, man.
Ooh, big man!
Alright...
50.
Screw you!
Hey, hey,
no need to get all nasty.
I didn?t realise you're so desperate.
70.
Pleasure doin?
business with you, boys.
Turd sucker!
Des, come here.
Payback.
Oh, you bad man.
- Come on!
- I'm stuck!
Ow!
There you go, little buddy.
- How does it look?
- Total value,
it?s all yours.
Hey,
remember to keep those clean.
Good tip.
This is cool.
- Nothin? stops us.
- Nothin'.
Shit!
I told you to stay
away from him!
Let me go!
You?ll kill any
chance that kid has.
Do you know what you?re
doing to this family?
Back off!
You shouldn?t be
waving that around.
What do you want?
Come on, put it away.
I'll put it away,
I?ll put it in you.
Cool it, alright?
Just cool it!
Cory...
Cory, talk to him.
Nobody dicks with me.
Don?t.
Don't. Oh, don't, please.
Bang!
He?s been out all night.
We haven?t heard
a thing from him.
Don?t worry, he?ll show up.
That boy?s leash
just got very short.
Find my son.
That?s it, huh? That?s it? You're
telling me that?s all you got, huh?
He?s lyin?, Des,
he?s lyin? to me.
I hate liars. Give me it.
- Serious?
- Give me the gun.
No please, no.
You lie, you die.
Kiss goodbye, punk.
Ten bucks tomorrow
or you drown for real.
Hey man, did you see that?
He pissed himself, man.
No man, you pissed yourself.
Dick hole!
You?re dead, man.
So dead!
Hey, you bozos. Come here.
Come here!
Hey Chet, man...
Just in time.
You got a couple drops
of windowpane on ya?
Maybe later.
Alright, listen...
Some glue head whipped into my apartment
and ripped off that camera you guys sold me.
That sucks big time.
Yeah, well, not bigger than the price
that?s gonna be paid for the deed.
Check this out.
What is it?
This is a piece of
the perpetrator.
Either of you seen it before?
No.
- Uh? - No.
Hey,
I?ll find out who the goof is.
And give him to you.
It?ll kinda be like
a birthday present.
Yeah? Not for the perp.
Guy?s a pure chump, man.
Bam! Seagal kicks ass.
Seagal's wank shit.
Van Damme.
- Seagal knows guns.
- He knows dick, man.
Van Damme's real,
in 'Hard Target'...
That guy with the
missile launcher?
Van Damme took him out for real.
That guy was bagged and tagged.
Death kick to the throat.
- Seagal...
- Van Damme couldn?t take Seagal.
In two seconds.
Seagal?s 'fake, he?s a fag.
'Under Siege' my ass.
What is it?
Check the car beside my house.
Yeah, so?
Vince ratted.
Sorry, man.
What do you want me to do?
Nothin?.
Just go.
Later.
I don't think you're listening to me. He put
a stolen truck through a plate glass window.
Everyone?s a
monster to you cops.
You see a psycho,
I see my kid.
So, who says he pulled a
gun, huh?
You got witnesses?
Oh, look.
The kid?s already out of control,
and it?s just gettin? worse.
OK, so what do you want me to do?
Tie him up and drag
him to work with me?
If you can?t handle the
kid, then give him up.
I?m his mother.
Then act like it!
Put him in care,
it?s his only chance.
I know about care.
I?ve been there.
You wanna know about
those stinkin? piss holes?
About foster parents?
About foster daddies?
Where the hell you
think Des comes from?
We?re just trying to do
what?s best for your son.
Get the hell out of my house.
Get out.
Get out!
Mom!
Mummy...
What were you saying to them?
About what?
A foster home.
About my Dad.
I said he was a piece of shit,
just like you.
Only difference is,
he?s a dead piece of shit.
What the hell do you think I am,
bringing the cops down on me?
I didn?t know they were comin?.
You got no brains
gettin? caught like that.
Wavin? guns!
I didn?t do nothin?,
Mom, I swear.
You make them think I?m unfit.
No, I don?t, Mom, you?re fit.
You are, Mom.
I'm trash. I'm trash.
Trash, that's what I am.
Trash, just like you!
Oh my god.
Oh, baby, I?m sorry.
I?m sorry, I?m sorry.
I?m so sorry.
I?m sorry... I?m sorry.
I'm sorry.
You just took a lot of stitches.
Yeah.
- What happened?
- I got jumped.
Tough out there, huh?
- Did you see who did it?
- 3 guys.
They took my wallet.
Well, you should try
and get some sleep, OK?
Des.
Hey, Des.
- Des...
- Where?s Cory?
Back at home.
I want to see him.
That won?t be happening
for a long time.
I didn?t do nothin?.
I know.
You?re going to a place
called the Children?s House.
You?ve been put in care, Des.
You can?t, you?ve gotta
have parent?s permission.
We got it, Des.
No way you get it. From who?
From your mother.
- You?re lying.
- It?s true.
No way, she wouldn?t.
She just signed the form.
No. No way.
Hello, Des.
Hello, Des?
Hello.
Fuck you!
I?d like to show you some cards.
All you have to do is tell me
what they make you think of.
I can turn the camera off
if it?s bothering you.
Or I can leave it on.
You know...
it doesn?t matter what you do,
I still get paid for being here.
Well...
That?s all for today.
See you next time.
Why don?t you have
something to eat, Des?
The fries are good tonight.
Have some.
It?s alright, Des...
You can have as much as you want.
How about some chicken?
What happened to your arm, Des?
Nothin?.
You should have the nurse
take a look at that.
What?
I just want to say goodnight
before lights out.
So?
Sleep tight.
And who?s coming to dinner?
- The big dog.
- And what?s for dinner?
The little dog.
OK...
Let?s look at another one.
Tug of war, two against one.
Who?s gonna win?
Two.
What will the loser do?
Kill ?em.
But they?re just playing!
So?
Very good.
- You want to look at another one?
- No.
- You were doing really well at it.
- It?s boring.
- Is it boring?
- Boring shit.
OK,
let?s try something different.
Bite me!
Fine, we?ll continue next time.
I?ll see you tomorrow, Des.
Ready?
It?s OK, I got another one.
Des, what?s going on?
Nothin?.
Well, you know the rules.
You want to learn to play,
we?ll teach you.
You want to wreck the
stuff, you?re out of here.
See you tomorrow.
We just need to take that bandage off
and make sure everything's healing nicely.
I can?t do it unless you
take your shirt off, Des.
What happened to your arm
there, Des?
Nothin?.
It looks like you?ve
got an infection.
It must really hurt.
Can I have a look?
Is it alright now?
I don?t know.
We?ll have to wait
and see how it heals.
Will you let me clean it up?
It?s probably wrecked.
Would you believe my
brother was a card sharp?
I guess it's just
not in my genes.
How did you learn
how to do that?
Just did.
Could you teach me?
OK.
OK, now what do I do?
You bend ?em like this.
OK, keep that there.
OK, let go.
You seem a little excited today.
No. Not really.
Hey, what?s this?
For you.
- A present?
- Uh-huh.
- How'd you know I smoked?
- I could tell.
Well, thank you very much, Des.
Where'd you get them?
I got them.
- Did you have to leave the grounds?
- Nope.
- Did you get them from someone?
- Nope.
Good.
Do you like to give presents?
Yeah, sometimes.
- To who?
- Whoever.
Like who?
How does your mom feel
when you give her a present?
Good.
Do you like it when
she feels like that?
Uh-huh.
What does she do
when she feels good?
She smiles.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
How does your mom feel
when you give her a present?
Good.
Do you like it when
she feels like that?
Uh-huh.
What does she do
when she feels good?
She smiles.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
She smiles at me.
You got a boyfriend?
Just one, my husband.
Rita,
can I talk to you for a second?
- What is it?
- I want you to look for yourself.
Mitch has noticed that Des
has been stealing pencils.
And?
And, he found this.
What?s this?
I thought we?d try
something different today.
Like what?
I?d like you to draw something.
I don?t know how.
Sure, you do.
Who says?
Just draw anything.
Anything you want.
Come on, Des.
I know you can do better than that.
What is that?
What do you care?
I?m sorry I was in your room, Des.
I had no right.
- It doesn?t matter.
- No, it does matter.
Oh yeah?
I wish we had more time, Des.
Sure.
Because your stay here with us
will be finished soon.
I don?t mind staying.
Yeah, but... this isn?t a residence, Des,
it's just an evaluation centre.
So? I could stay.
Well,
there?s new kids coming in.
There?s just not enough space.
This coz of what I did to my room?
No...
No, you had every
right to get mad.
You?ve done everything
really well.
I can?t go back home.
It?s OK, you don?t have to.
We pulled some strings,
found you a really cool place.
What kinda place?
The best foster
home in the city.
A foster home?
Yeah. Des, it?s OK. I checked it out
myself, it?s really great.
I?m not goin?.
We don?t have a choice.
What did I do wrong?
Nothing.
You did nothing wrong.
Des, you gotta believe me.
Des?
Yo man, look what I got.
- What is it?
- It's gun, man.
Hey, Des. Over here.
Hey, look. It?s me, man.
How ya doin??
OK.
Weird place, huh?
It sucks.
So, you comin??
Come on man, we gotta blow.
Unless you?d rather stay here?
Yeah, right.
Hey, wait up, Des!
Are you crazy?!
I can?t go back.
What you talkin? about?
They?re puttin? me
in a foster home.
No way, we?ll just take off.
Where?
Who cares?
Vince and my mom got me
grounded so bad it?s like jail.
I?ve been locked up for 3
weeks and I?m sick of it.
I took off from school at lunch
today and I ain?t goin? back.
I want out.
You got cash?
No, but we know someone
who does.
Like who?
Chet?s always flush.
Picked it up from
your place last night.
Still works?
I don?t know, let?s try it.
Hey Chet!
That?s what you do
with it, right?
You wave it at ?im, he shits his pants,
we take his money, payback!
What?s with you,
you a droid or what?
Come on man, we?re the best.
Nothin? stops us.
What happened t'your ?too?
It got infected.
That sucks.
Life sucks.
Let?s kick.
Yeah!
Well, well, well,
look who?s here.
Figure out who ripped
the camera we sold ya?
I?m on the case.
Hey, check the jacket.
What d?ya know? We got a perfect
match here, Cinderella.
So you gonna tell me what this is all about?
Is this kiss and make up time?
- You want to make some kinda deal with me?
- Sure, that?s it.
Sure, that's it, yeah.
Come here, you little punk!
Help me, Des!
You got somethin? for me,
Des, huh? Huh?
Help me, Des. Des!
Help me, Des!
Come on, help me, Des!

Just... just...
Everything?s cool, man...
Just relax, OK?!
Just relax, everything's fine.
Give us your money, jerk-off.
You want money?
No problem, I got some right here.
- I?ll get it.
- OK.
Goof!
Took you long enough, man.
Hey, check this, man.
We are happening!
Let?s boot.
History.
What are you doing?
Don?t do it, please!
Aren?t you up yet?
You better start moving, kiddo.
School.
I can?t go.
Oh Cory,
don?t start playing games with me.
I?m sick.
Cory, you know the rules.
I don?t feel good.
We both know there?s
nothin? wrong with you.
Cory, is it something else?
No.
You in some kind of
trouble at school?
No, no way.
So?
You still feel crummy after school,
we?ll take you to the doctor.
OK?
The truck?s leavin?
in 10 minutes.
Move it.
- Seen ?im?
- No way.
What d'you want him for, Des?
I just want him.
He?s not here yet, his Dad drops him off.
I can show you where.
I know where.
You've been doin? just fine ?til this
morning, what?s goin? on?
Nothin?, it?s just today.
I can?t go today.
What is it?
You got a test in math?
Screw you!
You know what, Cory? Screw you!
You?re in a box.
You made it, you live in it.
Go on, get out.
Move it. I?m out of here.
I thought he was put away?
He was.
You must be happy then.
You got somethin? to do today.
Get yourselves killed.
Go on, he?s waitin?.
Just get the hell out!
What?s goin? on, Cory?
Nothin?.
Talk to me.
I can?t.
Try.
Don?t make me.
Don?t make me go in there.
Why?
Please?
Please!
OK.
OK.
Vince?
You just stay here with me.
Lock the doors.
You?re safe now, alright?
I don?t think so.
I was there.
The running?s over, son.
People try to help you,
I try to help you, but...
...nothin? changes.
Get out of my face!
- You?re with me 'til the social
worker comes to pick you up. - No!
Hey, Des!
May 29th!
Your Mom gave us the
date on the form.
You're 12 next month.
Happy birthday, pal.
Mom? Mom?
Mom?
I?m sleepin?.
Mom, it?s me.
So you went back into the
house to get Nonny?s monkey?
Yeah.
Why?
She was cryin? and stuff.
Like she wanted it bad, right.
Did Cory wanna go get it?
No.
He was afraid of gettin? caught.
I made him come.
- Did you find it?
- Yeah.
It was under the chair.
That was a very nice
thing for you to do, Des.
She was cryin? real bad.
What did hearing her
cry make you feel like?
Bad, I guess.
You ever felt that way before?
I don?t remember.
