OH!

FROM IT ALL ?

PA! BA DA!

IT WAS 1957.

WE WERE DRIVING

FROM FLORIDA TO UTAH.

AFTER MY MOTHER WAS

BEATEN UP BY HER BOYFRIEND,

WE GOT IN THE NASH

AND HIGH-TAILED IT

FOR THE URANIUM FIELDS.

WE'D GET RICH

AND CHANGE OUR LUCK,

WHICH HADN'T BEEN SO HOT

SINCE OUR FAMILY BROKE UP

FIVE YEARS BACK.

I SPY

WITH MY LITTLE EYE

SOMETHING

THAT BEGINS WITH...

"C."

CACTUS. CACTUS.

NOPE. NOPE.

NO?

UPWARDS.

UP, UP, UP IN THE...

CLOUDS. CLOUDS.

YAY!

O.K., YOUR TURN.

I WAS CAUGHT UP

IN MY MOTHER'S FREEDOM,

HER DELIGHT

IN HER FREEDOM.

SHE'D GET RICH ON URANIUM,

AND I WAS GOING TO

HELP HER.

? I'M GONNA WASH THAT MAN

RIGHT OUT OF MY HAIR ?

? AND SEND HIM ON HIS WAY

? I'M GONNA

WAVE THAT MAN ?

? RIGHT

OUT OF MY ARMS ?

? I'M GONNA WAVE THAT MAN

RIGHT OUT OF MY ARMS ?

? I'M GONNA WAVE THAT MAN

RIGHT OUT OF MY ARMS ?

? AND SEND HIM ON HIS WAY

? WE'LL TRAVEL ROUND

FROM TOWN TO TOWN ?

? WE'LL VISIT EVERY STATE

? AND I'LL REPEAT

THAT I LOVE YOU, SWEET ?

? IN ALL THE 48

HOW DOES THIS THING

WORK, ANYWAY?

WELL, I THINK IT

CAUSES LIKE A, UH...

IT MAKES

A BLACK LIGHT

THAT CAUSES URANIUM

TRACES TO GLOW.

SO WE CAN WALK ALONG

THE STREET

AND FIND SOME

GLOWING URANIUM?

WELL, IT WAS EVERYWHERE

IN MOAB, THEY SAY.

WE WERE TOO LATE

IN MOAB.

THAT GUY

AT THE OFFICE SAID

NOBODY'D FOUND ANY URANIUM

IN SALT LAKE CITY.

WELL, THAT MEANS

WE'LL PRETTY MUCH

HAVE THE PLACE

TO OURSELVES, HUH?

YEP.

GOD, THIS COULD BE A BIG

BREAK FOR US, HONEY.

I MEAN, IF THIS WORKS OUT,

JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

WE COULD GET

A REAL HOUSE,

AND I COULD GET RID

OF THIS DAMN NASH.

WE...WE'D HAVE NO

MORE MONEY WORRIES.

BE JUST LIKE HEAVEN

ON A JUNE DAY.

HEAVEN ON A JUNE DAY.

? LET'S

? GET AWAY

? FROM IT ALL

DAMN IT.

YOU KNOW, IF I HAD

ONE WISH RIGHT NOW,

ONLY ONE WISH, YOU KNOW

WHAT THAT WOULD BE?

I'D LIKE TO BURN THIS

GODDAMN NASH TO A CRISP.

I'M SERIOUS.

I HATE IT.

I HATE THE MAN

WHO INVENTED IT.

I HATE THE FACTORY

WHO PRODUCED IT.

ALMOST MAKES ME WANT

TO SEE ROY AGAIN.

HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD

MAKE IT STOP OVERHEATING.

MY GOD, HE WAS BORING.

BORING AND MEAN.

YOU SURE GOT CRAPPY TASTE

IN BOYFRIENDS.

COME ON. LET'S GO

GET RICH IN SALT LAKE.

[FATS DOMINO]

? BLUE MONDAY

? I HATE BLUE MONDAY

? HAVE TO WORK

LIKE A SLAVE ALL WEEK ?

? HERE COMES TUESDAY...

WAIT A MINUTE.

WAIT A MINUTE, NOW.

YOU'RE PULLING

MY LEG, RIGHT?

NO. WE CAME HERE

TO LOOK FOR URANIUM.

MY GOD, LADY. IF YOU'RE

LOOKING FOR URANIUM,

WHY DIDN'T YOU

GO TO MOAB?

OH, WE WENT THERE,

BUT EVERYBODY

HAD BEATEN US.

WE WERE

A LITTLE LATE.

SO YOU CAME HERE

JUST ON THE CHANCE

YOU'D FIND URANIUM?

YEAH.

LISTEN, YOU MIND ME

SAYING SOMETHING TO YOU

THAT MIGHT SOUND RUDE?

LADY,

YOU GOT MORE COURAGE

THAN YOU GOT

COMMON SENSE.

SO WHAT DID THE MAN SAY?

DON'T ASK.

[ENGINE WON'T START]

MY MOM HAD HER OWN WAY

OF SOLVING PROBLEMS.

SHE LEFT THEM BEHIND.

THAT'S WHAT SHE DID

WITH THE NASH.

JUST LEFT IT THERE.

THINGS ARE GOING TO

START LOOKING UP.

CAN YOU FEEL IT?

YEP.

I CAN FEEL IT.

THE GOOD TIMES

ARE COMING.

MY MOM HAD HIGH HOPES,

ESPECIALLY FOR ME.

I'D BEEN GIVING HER

NO END OF GRIEF

SINCE SHE LEFT DAD.

I DECIDED I WAS

GOING TO DO BETTER.

I WAS GOING TO HAVE

STRAIGHT-ARROW FRIENDS,

I WAS GOING TO GET

ALL As IN SCHOOL,

AND I WAS GOING

TO KEEP MY NOSE CLEAN.

I PROMISED IT,

AND I MEANT IT.

WE GENERALLY LIKE

TO GIVE NEW BOYS

THE BENEFIT

OF THE DOUBT,

BUT THIS IS THE SECOND

TIME IN 2 WEEKS

THAT YOU'VE

BEEN IN FRONT OF ME.

NOW, I THINK

YOU'D BETTER

GIVE YOUR MOTHER A CALL,

TELL HER

TO COME DOWN HERE.

SHE WORKS.

SHE'S WORKING.

IT WASN'T ME WHO BROKE

THEIR STUPID WINDOW.

OH, PLEASE.

OH, GEE,

THANKS A LOT.

BELIEVE

THEM INSTEAD OF ME.

IF YOU CARE ANYTHING

ABOUT ME AT ALL,

YOU'D JUST BE QUIET.

OH, YEAH. IF YOU CARED

ANYTHING ABOUT ME,

YOU WOULD HAVE STAYED

MARRIED TO DAD.

I DIDN'T REALLY

MEAN THAT.

I KNEW IT WASN'T TRUE.

MY FATHER

WENT HIS OWN WAY

A LONG TIME BEFORE THEY

ACTUALLY CALLED IT QUITS

AND TOOK MY OLDER BROTHER

GREGORY WITH HIM.

SOMETIMES I HAD

TO BLAME SOMEBODY,

AND SHE WAS

THE ONLY ONE THERE.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

7:00 ALMOST.

WHY DIDN'T YOU

WAKE ME UP?

I STARTED DINNER.

THE POTATOES ARE FRYING,

AND I'M HEATING UP

SOME HOT DOGS.

I'M SORRY.

I KNOW YOU ARE.

HONEY, I KNOW YOUR FATHER

DOESN'T CALL YOU

AND YOUR BROTHER

DOESN'T WRITE,

BUT, YOU KNOW,

IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

I KNOW.

O.K.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO.

HELLO, ROY.

OH!

A WINCHESTER. THANKS.

YEAH, I FOUND ME A ROOM,

BUT IT'S CLEAR THE HELL

AND GONE CROSSTOWN.

AND I THINK

I GOT A JOB LINED UP

DOING TUNE-UPS

AT A TEXACO STATION.

SO HOW YOU LIKE IT

AT WINSTEAD'S?

HOW DO YOU KNOW

WHERE I WORK, ROY?

I'VE BEEN HERE

ALMOST A WEEK.

MM-HMM.

AND YOU'VE BEEN

FOLLOWING ME AROUND...

FOR A WEEK.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

LIKE THAT RIFLE, TOBY?

BEST PRESENT

I EVER GOT.

I LOVE IT.

I'M GOING TO GO

PRETEND LIKE

I'M SHOOTING, MOM.

DON'T POINT THAT

THING AT ANYBODY,

OR I WON'T

TEACH YOU TO SHOOT.

IT'S NOT LOADED.

YOU HEARD ME.

ANYTHING OR ANYBODY.

IT'S GOT NO BULLETS,

FOR GOD'S SAKE.

DON'T MAKE ME

SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN.

FINE. I'LL JUST GO POINT IT

AT THE SKY AGAIN. POW.

DON'T.

ROY, DON'T.

DON'T, ROY.

TOBY'S STILL AWAKE.

YOU ARE ONE

SWEET THING, BABY.

IT'S JUST

THE SIGHT OF YOU

MAKES MY DICK HARD.

DON'T, ROY.

DON'T NOW.

HE'S NOT GOING TO

HEAR ANYTHING!

LOOK, I'M...

SORRY, BABY.

I'M SORRY.

COME ON. YOU KNOW

I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.

I--

I'M JUST SO GLAD

TO SEE YOU, THAT'S ALL.

HUH?

[IMITATING GUNSHOTS]

[BEDSPRINGS SQUEAKING]

MOST AFTERNOONS I'D

WANDER AROUND IN A TRANCE.

SOMETIMES I'D GO DOWNTOWN

AND STARE

AT THE MERCHANDISE.

MAYBE I'D SHOPLIFT,

MAYBE NOT.

I USED TO IMAGINE

I SAW MY FATHER

COMING TOWARD ME

AND WAIT FOR HIM

TO RECOGNIZE ME.

I KNEW IT COULDN'T

BE HIM, THOUGH.

HE WAS LIVING BACK EAST,

MARRIED TO A RICH WOMAN.

HIS NICKNAME WAS DUKE,

AND THAT'S

HOW I THOUGHT OF HIM--

AS A DUKE LIVING

IN A CASTLE FAR AWAY.

A FEW MINUTES LATER,

I'D PICK SOMEONE ELSE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I'M HOME.

HI, HONEY.

WE GOING SOMEPLACE?

WE SURE ARE.

WHERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU GOT ANY IDEAS?

PHOENIX.

GOOD. YOU KNOW,

I WAS THINKING PHOENIX,

OR MAYBE SEATTLE.

PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES

IN BOTH THOSE PLACES.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR FABULOUS

BOYFRIENDS?

WHAT ABOUT

THE FABULOUS BORING ROY?

IS HE COMING, TOO?

GOD, I HOPE NOT.

YOU KNOW, I LOOKED

OUT THE WINDOW

AT WORK TODAY.

HE WAS PARKED

ACROSS THE STREET

WATCHING ME.

SO UNCOOL.

OH, REALLY?

YOU DIDN'T SEEM

TO THINK SO

LAST NIGHT.

OH, I JUST LOVE

MY NEW RIFLE, ROY.

OH, IT'S JUST

THE BESTEST PRESENT

I EVER HAD.

SHUT UP.

[SIGHS]

THERE.

NOW?

WE'RE LEAVING NOW?

WHAT ABOUT

ALL THE FOOD?

LEAVE IT.

EVEN THE CANNED STUFF?

ARE YOU COMING

OR STAYING?

WA-HOO!

ASK WHEN THE NEXT ONE

TO PHOENIX IS.

UH, EXCUSE ME.

WHEN'S THE NEXT BUS

TO PHOENIX?

TOMORROW MORNING,

11:45.

HOW ABOUT SEATTLE?

YEAH. WHAT ABOUT

SEATTLE?

UH, LEAVES, UH, IN THREE--

NO, TWO MINUTES.

SO IS THIS THE BUS

TO SEATTLE?

YES, IT IS.

THANK YOU.

HURRY. COME ON.

SEATTLE,

HERE WE COME!

YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS HAD

A GOOD HEAD FOR FIGURES.

AND IF I COULD

GET A CPA LICENSE,

I BET WE COULD MAKE

A REAL GO OF IT IN SEATTLE.

OH, I KNOW WHAT.

I'LL ADVERTISE

FOR ROOMMATES.

I'LL BET WE FIND US

A REAL CUTE...

[FRANKIE LYMON] ? I'M NOT

A JUVENILE DELINQUENT ?

? NO, NO, NO, NO,

NO, NO, NO, NO ?

? NO, NO, NO, NO,

NO, NO, NO, NO ?

THAT'S RIGHT ?

NOTHING WRONG ?

? LIFE WILL BE SO NICE

? YOU'LL BE IN PARADISE

? I KNOW

? BECAUSE I'M NOT

A JUVENILE DELINQUENT ?

HEY, TER.

HEY, JACK.

WHAT DID YOUR MOM

SAY

ABOUT SKIPPING

SCHOOL TODAY?

WHO LISTENS?

HA HA HA!

WANDA'S LAST NIGHT?

UH-HUH.

UH-HUH.

UH-HUH.

HOW GOOD?

FUCKED HER

TILL HER NOSE BLED.

SURE YOU DID.

HEY, JACK, TERRY.

TERRY.

OH, LOOK. IT'S ELVIS,

ELVIS, AND ELVIS.

DOES YOUR FACE HURT?

'CAUSE IT'S KILLING ME.

SILVER.

ANYBODY HERE?

HELP! HELP!

HELP! HELP! I'M IN HERE!

HELP! HELP!

OH, LOIS. OH, BABY,

I GOT 6 HOT INCHES

JUST WAITING FOR YOU.

UNH! UNH!

OH, LOIS,

I WANT YOU SO BAD.

COME ON. YOU MAKE

MY DICK HARD, BABY. MMM.

YUM, YUM.

JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME,

SUPERMAN?

OH, LOIS. DADDY-O'S

GOING TO MAKE YOU HAPPY-O.

TIE THEM ROPES AROUND ME.

YOU COULDN'T EVEN

GET IT UP, SILVER.

[SLURP SLURP]

[HIGH VOICE]

OH! OH! OH!

WE HAD TO TALK DIRTY

FOR A WHILE.

IT WAS A FORMALITY,

LIKE CROSSING YOURSELF

WITH HOLY WATER

WHEN YOU WENT INTO CHURCH.

I WANT YOU TO GO BACK

TO THE OFFICE AND WAIT.

I HAVE

SOMETHING TO DO.

AND AFTER THAT, WE SHUT UP

AND WATCHED THE SHOW.

WE SOFTENED.

WE SURRENDERED.

WE WATCHED SUPERMAN

HAVE DUMB ADVENTURES

WITH DORKY PLOTS,

AND WE DIDN'T

LAUGH AT THEM.

OH!

WOW!

OH, GOSH.

IT'S MUCH BETTER

WITH THE BOW IN BACK.

OH, HE'LL LOVE YOU

IN THAT.

AND YOU SAY HE'S GETTING

SERIOUS ALREADY, HUH?

WELL, I THINK SO.

HE KEEPS TALKING TO ME

ABOUT MARRIAGE.

HE'S DYING TO MEET TOBY.

THAT'S IT. THREE DATES,

YOU'VE GOT HIM.

I'M NOT SO SURE

I WANT HIM.

DON'T WANT WHO?

WELL,

IT'S THE TOUGH GUY

WHO CAN'T BE BOTHERED

TO GO TO SCHOOL.

DON'T WANT WHO?

WELL, DWIGHT, HONEY.

YOU REMEMBER.

I TOLD YOU ABOUT HIM.

PLEASE USE A GLASS.

JACK LONDON BOOKS,

WELL, I'LL CALL HIM

ANYTHING HE WANTS.

I ALWAYS SAY PEOPLE CAN

CALL ME ANYTHING THEY WANT

AS LONG AS THEY DON'T

CALL ME LATE FOR SUPPER.

WOULD YOU LIKE

I BELIEVE I COULD STAND

A CUP OF JAVA, YEAH.

THANK YOU.

THE AIR IS LIKE WINE

UP AT MY PLACE.

I DON'T MIND SAYING

I WOULDN'T LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE,

AND THAT'S THE GOD'S

HONEST TRUTH.

THERE'S GOOD SCHOOLS,

THERE'S HONEST PEOPLE,

AND SOME OF THE FINEST

FISHING IN THE WORLD.

AND THERE'S HUNTING, TOO.

THERE'S GAME EVERYWHERE

YOU LOOK.

AND I DON'T THINK

I FLATTER MYSELF

BY SAYING I'M SOMETHING

OF A WHIZ WITH A RIFLE,

AND CONCRETE GIVES ME EVERY

OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE THAT.

DWIGHT KEPT BABBLING ON

ABOUT THE VIRTUES

OF CONCRETE,

BUT ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT

WAS SHOOTING THAT TURKEY.

SO HERE WE ARE.

WELCOME TO CONCRETE,

DWIGHT'S HOME SWEET HOME.

SOME OF THE FINEST PEOPLE

IN THE WHOLE STATE OF

WASHINGTON, YOU ASK ME,

AND THAT'S NO LIE.

LOTS OF CHURCHES,

TOO.

LOTS OF CHURCHES.

NEIGHBOR OF MINE

SAYS,

"LOOKING

FOR NICE CHURCHES?

COME TO CONCRETE.

LOOKING FOR SIN?

GO TO HELL."

I THINK

THAT'S FUNNY.

DON'T YOU? HUH?

JACK?

TOBY?

J-JACK, THAT IS?

JACK?

KIDS, THIS IS

MY PRETTY FRIEND

CAROLINE WOLFF

AND HER BOY

TOBY--UH,

THIS IS THE HOUSE.

THIS IS

THE LIVING ROOM,

AND, UH, OVER HERE

AND PIANO...

AND, UH, THIS IS

THE KITCHEN OVER HERE.

I PLAN ON GETTING ALL

NEW FIXTURES IN HERE

AND THAT STUFF

WILL ALL BE TAKEN OUT.

IT'LL BE MUCH BIGGER

AND NICER.

AND, UH...

AND UP HERE

ARE THE THREE BEDROOMS

AND THE BATH.

PLENTY OF ROOM.

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

I--WELL, THIS IS, UH,

A KIND OF A LOUNGING AREA.

YOU KNOW, JUST IN CASE

YOU WANT TO, UH...

LOUNGE.

OVER THERE

JOE.

DWIGHT.

[CAROLINE]

HOW ABOUT YOU KIDS?

DO YOU LIKE IT HERE?

[KIDS]

IT'S FINE.

HI, JOHN.

DWIGHT.

[NORMA] IT'S A LITTLE

ISOLATED, IS ALL.

OH, COME ON, IT'S

NOT THAT ISOLATED.

YEAH, WELL,

IT'S NOT THAT ISOLATED.

PRETTY ISOLATED, THOUGH.

OH, THERE'S PLENTY

TO DO IN CONCRETE

IF YOU KIDS

WOULD TAKE

A LITTLE

INITIATIVE.

WHEN I WAS

GROWING UP,

WE DIDN'T HAVE TV.

WE HAD TO USE

OUR IMAGINATION.

WE READ

THE CLASSICS,

WE PLAYED MUSICAL

INSTRUMENTS.

SHOW ME

A BORED KID,

I'LL SHOW YOU

A LAZY KID.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU PLAYED A

MUSICAL INSTRUMENT, DWIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU PLAY?

OH, SAX.

TENOR SAX.

DO YOU?

OH, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE

QUITE WELCOME.

AND, UM, WHAT ABOUT

THE SCHOOLS?

HOW ARE THE SCHOOLS?

OH, THERE ISN'T ONE.

WE GO TO CHINOOK.

YEAH,

CHINOOK HIGH.

OH, YEAH, IT'S

A FEW MILES DOWNRIVER.

40 MILES.

40 MILES?

IT'S NOT THAT FAR.

I CLOCKED IT.

IT'S 39 MILES.

COME ON, JUST

STOW IT NOW. LET'S GO.

[ARTHUR]

IT IS!

OH, YOU'RE BELLYACHING

FOR GODDAMN SCHOOLS

IN YOUR GODDAMN

BACKYARD,

AND YOU KNOW IT.

NOW JUST SHUT YOUR

GODDAMN PIE HOLE.

SO HOW BIG'S THIS

TURKEY GOING TO BE?

TURKEY SHOOT IS JUST

A FIGURE OF SPEECH.

OH, SO THERE'S

NO REAL TURKEY?

IT'S JUST REGULATION

PAPER TARGETS.

IT'S A TEST

OF SKILL.

AND I JUST FOUND OUT

YESTERDAY, JACK,

THAT THEY WON'T

LET KIDS SHOOT.

YOU SAID I COULD.

I KNOW.

THAT'S NOT FAIR.

YOU JUST SAID

THAT I COULD.

I--I KNOW, BUT...

THEY GOT IT ALL

SCREWED UP SOMEHOW

AND TOLD ME WRONG

AT FIRST.

OH, DWIGHT, YOU

DID TELL HIM.

I DON'T MAKE

THE RULES, CAROLINE.

IF I MADE THE RULES,

I MIGHT MAKE

DIFFERENT ONES,

BUT I DON'T

MAKE THE RULES.

O.K.

THAT'S O.K.,

HONEY.

DON'T WORRY.

YOU CAN WATCH.

[HONK HONK]

WHY AREN'T YOU GOING TO

GET TO SHOOT?

SHUT UP.

O.K.,

GOOD LUCK.

THANKS, JOHN.

WOLFF, PLEASE.

CAROLINE WOLFF.

YOU MEAN YOU WANT

TO ENTER, TOO?

UH-HUH.

I THINK IT'S

AGAINST THE RULES.

WELL, THAT SIGN SAYS

THIS IS AN NRA CLUB,

I'M A DUES-PAYING

NRA MEMBER.

THAT GIVES ME THE RIGHT

TO PARTICIPATE

IN THE ACTIVITIES

OF OTHER CHAPTERS.

WELL, YOU'RE THE ONLY

WOMAN SHOOTING.

FINE WITH ME.

THERE YOU GO.

THANKS.

I GOT IT.

OH, THANK YOU.

ALWAYS A FIRST TIME

FOR EVERYTHING.

84.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

O.K.

DWIGHT! BLOW 'EM UP,

THERE, BUDDY.

COME ON, DWIGHT.

SHOW US YOUR STUFF.

24.

COULD HAVE DONE BETTER.

CAROLINE WOLFF.

OH, YEAH, BABY! WHOO!

WHOA, MAMA,

SHAKE THAT THING.

CONGRATULATIONS,

THAT WAS

REAL GOOD!

THANK YOU.

WHERE DID YOU LEARN THAT?

BEGINNER'S LUCK,

I GUESS.

WASN'T SHE GOOD?

WASN'T SHE GOOD, KIDS?

I'M REALLY IMPRESSED.

MY GUN--I DON'T KNOW

WHAT HAPPENED.

BOLT'S NOT WORKING,

OR SOMETHING.

THE THIRD GUN I'VE BOUGHT--

JUST WON'T WORK RIGHT.

FUCKING THING.

THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.

WHAT GIVES?

MOM WON THE

TURKEY SHOOT.

OH, GOD.

NOW WE'RE IN FOR IT.

DAD THINKS HE'S SOME KIND

OF BIG HUNTER.

HE KILLED

A DEER ONCE.

THAT WAS WITH

THE CAR, PEARL.

UM, COULD YOU PASS

THE SALT AND PEPPER,

PEARL?

I GOT JUST ONE THING

TO SAY.

I'M SITTING AT THE TABLE

WITH THE BEST DAMN SHOT

IN THE COUNTY.

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN HER.

GOOD, TOBY.

JACK! SORRY.

JACK, JACK.

I KNOW.

NOT TOBY. JACK.

? WE WERE SAILING ALONG

THE VOICES RINGING ?

? THEY SEEMED TO SAY

? YOU HAVE STOLEN MY HEART

? NOW DON'T GO AWAY

? AS WE SANG LOVE'S

OLD SWEET SONG ?

? ON MOONLIGHT BAY

? WE WERE

SAILING ALONG... ?

I MEAN,

I BLEW THIS FUCKIN'

TURKEY'S HEAD OFF.

WITH A .22.

FUCKIN' "A."

WINCHESTER

.22 PUMP.

WOLFF, YOU'RE SO

FULL OF SHIT.

WELL, DON'T BELIEVE ME.

SEE IF I CARE.

ALL A .22 BULLET

WOULD DO

IS MAKE A LITTLE

HOLE IN HIS HEAD.

YEAH.

ONE BULLET, MAYBE.

OHH...

OH, I SEE.

SO YOU HIT THE TURKEY

MORE THAN ONCE,

WHILE HE WAS FLYING,

IN THE HEAD.

FUCK YOU.

FUCK YOU, TOO.

HEY...

[SHOOTING

SOUNDS]

OHH!

FUCK YOU.

FUCK YOU!

FUCK YOU, MAN.

FUCK YOU!

FUCK...

[CAROLINE]

WHAT DID HE DO?

HE VIOLATED

SCHOOL PROPERTY,

AND HE FLOUTED

THE LAW.

CAN YOU SAY THAT

IN ENGLISH, PLEASE?

HE WROTE OBSCENE WORDS

ON THE WALL.

DID YOU DO IT?

HE DIDN'T DO IT.

HE WROTE OBSCENE WORDS

ON THE WALL.

WHAT OBSCENE WORDS?

"FUCK YOU."

THAT'S ONE OBSCENE WORD.

LOOK, MRS. WOLFF...

JACK'S TEACHERS

LIKE HIM,

BUT THEY FEEL

HE'S FALLEN IN

WITH THE WRONG

KIND OF FRIENDS.

IS THAT

NICOTINE STAINS

ON YOUR FINGERS?

I HOPE NOT.

WELL, BACK

TO THE POINT.

I THINK TWO WEEKS'

SUSPENSION.

SO WHAT DO WE DO?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN WHAT

SHALL WE DO,

BECAUSE THIS

ISN'T WORKING.

WE BARELY HAVE

ANY MONEY,

KATHY'S

MOVING OUT NOW,

AND ON TOP OF IT ALL,

YOU'VE GONE WILD.

YOU LIE--

NO, I DON'T.

YES, YOU DO.

YOU'RE SMOKING

CIGARETTES.

YOU'RE STEALING

FROM MARIAN'S PURSE.

I CAN'T

HANDLE IT ANYMORE,

AND IT SCARES ME.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT TO DO,

SO YOU TELL ME.

I CAN BE BETTER,

AND I WILL BE.

I HATE THE WAY I AM.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I DO IT.

I TALKED TO DWIGHT

THE OTHER DAY, AND...

AFTER CHRISTMAS,

HE WANTS YOU TO

COME UP TO CONCRETE

AND LIVE WITH HIM

FOR A FEW MONTHS.

YOU KNOW, GO TO

SCHOOL UP THERE.

SO WHAT ARE YOU

GOING TO DO,

JUST GIVE ME

AWAY TO HIM?

WELL, IF YOU TWO

GET ALONG

AND IF THINGS WORK OUT,

I, UM...

HE AND I

MIGHT GET MARRIED.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT ELSE TO DO,

BUT YOU HAVE TO

TELL ME IT'S O.K.

ALL RIGHT.

JUST THINK OF IT LIKE

AN ADVENTURE, O.K.?

[PERRY COMO]

? MAGIC

? MOMENTS

? WHEN TWO HEARTS ARE...

I PUT IN BOTH

YOUR SWEATERS.

SO MAKE SURE

YOU WEAR THEM.

'CAUSE IT GETS VERY CHILLY

UP THERE AT NIGHT.

O.K. I WILL.

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO

IF YOU DON'T WANT, HONEY.

IT'S--IT'S NOT TOO LATE

TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.

IT'S O.K.

I'LL GO.

[DOOR OPENS]

HERE I AM,

YOU LUCKY PEOPLE.

? MAGIC

? MOMENTS

? WHEN TWO HEARTS

ARE CARING ?

? TIME CAN'T ERASE

BYE.

? THE MEMORY OF

? THESE MAGIC

? MOMENTS

? FILLED WITH LOVE

[ROCK 'N' ROLL PLAYS]

[SNAPS RADIO OFF]

SORRY.

HEH HEH HEH.

[HORN HONKS]

I'M A LITTLE

SICK TO MY STOMACH.

SICK TO YOUR STOMACH?

A HOTSHOT LIKE YOU?

I'M NOT

A HOTSHOT.

THAT'S WHAT I HEAR.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

I HEAR YOU'RE

A REAL HOTSHOT.

COME AND GO

WHERE YOU WANT,

DO WHAT YOU WANT.

HUH?

ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

HUH?

YEAH, A REGULAR

MAN-ABOUT-TOWN.

PERFORMER, TOO.

IS THAT RIGHT, JACK?

ARE YOU A PERFORMER?

I HEAR YOU DO ME.

YEAH, I HEAR YOU'RE

REAL GOOD AT DOING ME.

IS THAT RIGHT?

NO, SIR.

THAT'S

A GODDAMN LIE.

IF THERE'S ONE THING

I CAN'T STOMACH,

IT'S A LIAR...JACK.

I'M NOT A LIAR.

SURE, YOU ARE.

YOU OR MARIAN.

IS MARIAN A LIAR?

SHE SAYS YOU'RE QUITE

THE LITTLE PERFORMER.

IS THAT A LIE?

NOW YOU TELL ME

THAT'S A LIE,

AND WE'LL DRIVE

RIGHT BACK TO SEATTLE

SO YOU CAN CALL HER

A LIAR TO HER FACE.

YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT?

HUH?

DID YOU HEAR

WHAT I SAID?

YOU WANT ME

TO DO THAT?

NO.

HUH, THEN YOU

MUST BE THE ONE

THAT'S A LIAR,

RIGHT?

AND YOU'RE

A PERFORMER.

HUH?

LET'S SEE YOUR ACT.

GO ON, DO YOUR ACT.

COME ON, LET'S SEE

YOUR ACT.

I CAN'T.

SURE, YOU CAN.

HERE.

DO ME WITH

THE LIGHTER.

GO ON, TAKE IT.

TAKE IT,

HOTSHOT.

TAKE IT!

GO ON, TAKE IT.

TAKE IT!

HOTSHOT.

YOU PULL THAT HOTSHOT

STUFF AROUND ME,

AND I'LL BREAK

EVERY BONE

IN YOUR GODDAMN BODY.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

AND I'LL POP

YOUR HEAD LIKE A ZIT.

YOU'RE IN FOR

A CHANGE, MISTER.

YOU'RE IN FOR A WHOLE

'NOTHER BALLGAME, BUDDY.

OH, YEAH.

[THUNDER AND RAIN]

SO, TOBY,

YOU'LL BE IN

MISS GRAHAM'S

CLASS, RIGHT?

YEAH.

UH, SHE NICE?

SHE'S O.K.

SHE'S PRETTY.

YEAH, I HATE

CHANGING SCHOOLS.

WELL, I'VE NEVER.

I'VE BEEN HERE

ALL MY LIFE.

SPEAKING OF CHANGING,

I HAD A TALK WITH JACK

ON THE WAY UP HERE,

AND HE--HE WANTS

TO BE A BETTER BOY.

THINGS WEREN'T GOING

TOO WELL FOR HIM IN SEATTLE.

THE POLICE ACTUALLY

CAME TO HIS HOUSE

AND HAD A TALK

WITH CAROLINE ABOUT HIM.

THAT'S RIGHT...

THE POLICE.

SO HERE'S

WHAT I THINK...

CRIMINAL.

IDLE HANDS

ARE THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP,

SO I FOUND OUR JACK

A LITTLE SOMETHING TO DO.

I PICKED UP

TWO BARRELS

OF HORSE CHESTNUTS

IN THE PARK,

AND YOU CAN SPEND YOUR

EVENINGS HULLING THEM.

I ALSO ENROLLED YOU

IN THE BOY SCOUTS.

I GOT YOU A PAPER ROUTE.

IT STARTS EVERY MONDAY

FROM 3:00 TO 6:30.

EVERY AFTERNOON,

3:00 TO 6:30.

PAYS 55 BUCKS A MONTH.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I'LL DO IT.

I WANT TO BE BETTER.

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR.

O.K., YOU GUYS, LET'S

GET THIS PLACE CLEANED UP.

LET'S GET THE DISHES

GOING. COME ON.

LET'S SHOW JACK

HOW WE DO IT IN CONCRETE.

JACK...

LET'S GO, COME ON.

[NAT KING COLE]

? SMILE

? THOUGH YOUR HEART

IS ACHING ?

? SMILE EVEN THOUGH

IT'S BREAKING ?

? WHEN THERE ARE CLOUDS

? IN THE SKY

? YOU'LL GET BY

? IF YOU SMILE THROUGH

YOUR FEAR AND SORROW ?

? SMILE,

AND MAYBE TOMORROW ?

? YOU'LL FIND THAT LIFE

IS STILL WORTHWHILE ?

? IF YOU JUST SMILE

'CAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE

THAT CRAP, YOU KNOW.

I BELIEVE THERE IS SUCH

A THING AS A BAD BOY,

BAD CLEAR THROUGH.

IT'S GOING TO BE MY JOB

TO TURN YOU AROUND,

TO SET YOU STRAIGHT.

THAT'S RIGHT...

TO KILL OR CURE.

KILL OR CURE.

CAROLINE TOLD ME

ALL ABOUT YOUR RICH DADDY

AND YOUR

PREP-SCHOOL BROTHER.

WELL, YOUR FANCY DAYS

ARE OVER.

YOU'RE A CONCRETE BOY NOW.

? THAT'S THE TIME

YOU MUST KEEP ON TRYING ?

? SMILE, WHAT'S THE USE

OF CRYING? ?

? YOU'LL FIND THAT LIFE

IS STILL WORTHWHILE ?

? IF YOU

? JUST SMILE

I'M GOING TO GET YOU

A SCOUT UNIFORM, JACK.

REALLY?

I'M GETTING ONE

FOR ME, TOO.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN

DOING ANYTHING HALFWAY.

IF YOU'RE SERIOUS

ABOUT THE SCOUTS...

I AM, I AM.

THEN I WANT YOU

TO DO IT RIGHT.

WE'LL DO IT RIGHT

TOGETHER.

I GOT YOU A

SUBSCRIPTION TO THIS.

I'LL TAKE THE PRICE

OUT OF YOUR

PAPER ROUTE MONEY.

BOYS' MAGAZINE?

IT'S THE

SCOUT MAGAZINE.

IT TELLS ABOUT

WHAT IT MEANS

TO BE A SCOUT,

WHAT KIND OF BOY

YOU NEED TO BE,

YOU KNOW,

ABOUT MERIT BADGES

AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

"SUGGESTED GOOD TURNS

A SCOUT CAN DO--

"ASSIST A FOREIGN BOY

"WITH SOME

ENGLISH GRAMMAR,

"HELP PUT OUT

A BURNING FIELD,

AND GIVE WATER

TO A CRIPPLED DOG."

I COULD DO THOSE.

HELL, YES, YOU COULD.

YOU'RE A BRIGHT KID,

AND I WANT

THIS SCOUT THING

DONE RIGHT, O.K.?

O.K.

I'M NOT GOING.

THE HELL, YOU SAY.

I'M NOT! THIS IS

SKIPPER'S OLD STUFF,

AND IT DOESN'T FIT.

I'M STAYING HOME!

YOU'RE GOING TO SHIT

AND FALL BACK IN IT.

THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GONNA DO.

NOW GET OUT HERE.

LOOK.

SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE.

YOU LOOK FINE.

I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT.

YOU ACT LIKE

AN IDIOT.

YOU LOOK FINE.

HEY, YOU SAID YOU'D GET ME

A NEW UNIFORM.

I SAID I'D TRY TO

GET YOU A NEW UNIFORM.

BESIDES,

THIS ONE IS NEW.

IT'S NEW TO YOU.

LOOK--LOOK AT THE SLEEVES!

LOOK AT 'EM!

OH, PISS AND MOAN.

ALL YOU CAN DO

IS PISS AND MOAN.

YEAH, PISS AND MOAN.

I NOTICE YOU'RE ALL

JAZZED UP IN NEW STUFF.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE

SECONDHAND UNIFORMS

IN MY SIZE.

OH, YEAH.

PULL THE OTHER LEG.

IT'S GOT BELLS ON IT.

AND ARE YOU GONNA TELL

CAROLINE THIS WEEKEND, HUH?

ARE YOU GONNA SAY

YOU WOULDN'T JOIN THE SCOUTS

'CAUSE HIM DIDN'T LIKE

HIS LITTLE UNIFORM?

HUH?

O.K.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU

SOMETHING.

"WORDS FOR THOUGHT--

"NO BOY GIVEN OVER TO

DISSIPATION OR NEGATIVITY

"CAN STAND THE GAFF.

"HE QUICKLY TIRES

AND GIVES UP.

"HE IS THE TYPE WHO

USUALLY LACKS COURAGE

"AT THE CRUCIAL MOMENT.

"HE CANNOT

TAKE PUNISHMENT

AND COME BACK SMILING."

SEE ANYBODY WE KNOW?

HUH?

HOTSHOT?

ANYBODY WE KNOW?

FINE,

BUT THIS STINKS.

HOTSHOT,

YOU DON'T KNOW IT YET,

BUT ME AND CONCRETE

ARE IN YOUR BLOOD.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE

A MAN OF YOU YET.

IN YEARS TO COME,

YOU'LL THANK ME.

YOU'LL REMEMBER ME--

ME AND CONCRETE, RIGHT?

HOW DO I LOOK?

YOU LOOK FINE, DAD.

FIRE.

FOOD.

RAPIDS.

WANT.

PEOPLE.

TWINKLE.

FATHER.

WE ARE GATHERED TOGETHER

HERE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD

TO JOIN TOGETHER

THIS MAN AND THIS WOMAN

IN THE STATE

OF HOLY MATRIMONY.

IT IS AN HONORABLE ESTATE,

INSTITUTED OF GOD

AND SIGNIFYING UNTO US

THE MYSTICAL UNION

WHICH EXISTS BETWEEN CHRIST

AND HIS CHURCH.

IT IS THEREFORE NOT TO BE

ENTERED INTO LIGHTLY,

BUT REVERENTLY

AND DISCREETLY

AND IN THE FEAR OF GOD.

I WAS GOING TO

FUCKING SOCK HIM ONE.

HE CALLED ME A...

BOURGEOIS.

WHAT THE HECK'S

A BOURGEOIS?

I DON'T KNOW.

HEY. HEY,

WHY?

MY, MY.

WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

ELMER FUDD AND

HIS HUNTING BOYS.

LOOK AT ALL

HANDS AFTER YOU PEE?

[LAUGHTER]

SHUT UP.

STRIKE ONE.

OOH,

THAT WAS VERY GOOD.

VERY ORIGINAL.

DID YOU JUST

MAKE THAT UP?

THAT WAS VERY,

VERY CLEVER.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST

FUCK OFF, DICK LICK?

EXCUSE ME!

WHOO!

HASN'T ANYONE

EVER TOLD YOU

YOU LOOK

EXACTLY LIKE

A PILE OF

STEAMING DOG TURD?

YEAH?

YOU'RE NOT A HOMO.

COME ON, PEPPER.

WELL!

SO!

HA HA.

WHO WON?

HE'S THE ONE WHO CAN'T

SEE OUT OF ONE EYE.

HOT DAMN!

YOU ACTUALLY GAVE LITTLE

LORD GAYLE A BLACK EYE?

HUH?

YEAH, BUT IT'S

NOT BLACK YET.

BUT IT'S ALL PUFFED UP?

THEN IT'S A SHINER,

RIGHT?

MM-HMM.

HOW'D IT START?

WELL, I CALLED

HIM A SISSY.

HE SURE AS HELL CAN'T

SUE YOU FOR SLANDER.

THE BOY FIGHTS FOR THE PINK

TEAM, WE ALL KNOW THAT.

THE GODDAMN KID'S QUEER.

SO DID YOU MAKE HIM CRY?

YEAH, HE WAS READY TO.

I CALLED HIM A BIG ASS,

SQUAT-TO-PEE SISSY.

YEAH, I'D HAVE

WENT BIGGER,

EXCEPT HE HIT ME

WHEN I WASN'T LOOKING.

HE DRY-GULCHED YOU?

NOW WAIT A MINUTE.

THAT'S YOUR FAULT.

YOU GOTTA KEEP

YOUR GUARD UP.

THERE'S NO EXCUSE

FOR GETTING DRY-GULCHED.

YOU GOT ME? NO EXCUSE FOR

GETTING DRY-GULCHED.

I'M GONNA SHOW YOU A COUPLE

OF MOVES AFTER SUPPER

THAT'LL LEAVE

MISS ARTHUR GAYLE

WONDERING

WHAT MONTH IT IS. OK?

I SAID TO THIS KID,

I SAID, "WHY DON'T YOU

STOP DOING THAT?"

HE SAID, "WELL,

WHAT BUSINESS IS IT TO YOU?"

AND I SAID, "BECAUSE I DON'T

THINK IT'S REALLY RIGHT."

AND HE SAID, "WELL, WHAT ARE

YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?"

I SAID, "WELL, I JUST

MIGHT DO SOMETHING."

HE SAID, "YOU

AND WHO ELSE'S ARMY?"

I SAID, "THE THREE OF US--

ME, MYSELF, AND I."

WELL, AFTER SCHOOL,

HE'S WAITING FOR ME.

HE YELLS SOMETHING.

I TELL YOU, PEOPLE LIKE THAT,

YOU GOT TO HURT THEM.

YOU GOT TO

INFLICT PAIN,

OR THEY'LL NEVER

LEAVE YOU ALONE.

NEVER, NEVER EVER

LEAVE YOU ALONE.

SO IT WAS REAL

HOT OUT, O.K.?

THERE WERE THESE HORSE TURDS

LAYING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

YOU KNOW, "ROAD APPLES?"

SO I PICKED UP

A NICE, BIG, MUSHY ONE,

AND I GO UP TO HIM.

BUT, YOU KNOW,

NOT ACTING TOUGH,

ACTING MORE LIKE,

"OH, GEE, I'M SO SCARED.

PLEASE DON'T HURT ME."

SORT OF LIKE THIS,

YOU KNOW.

MINDING MY BUSINESS,

AND I SAY TO HIM,

"EXCUSE ME, BUT WHAT'S

THE PROBLEM?"

AND HE GOES,

"BLAH BLAH BLAH, YOU BLAH--"

AND I GO WHAM!

AND I JAM THAT HORSE TURD

IN HIS FAT MOUTH.

THEN I SUCKER PUNCH HIM OVER

HERE AND BOOM! HE GOES DOWN,

AND I KICK HIM IN THE FACE,

JUMP ON HIS HEAD

A COUPLE OF TIMES

THEN I PICK UP

ANOTHER HORSE TURD,

JAM IT DOWN HIS THROAT,

AND KICK HIS FUCKING

TEETH A COUPLE OF TIMES.

THAT WAS THE END OF IT.

NEVER BOTHERED ME AGAIN.

PIECE OF SHIT.

JUST A LITTLE TALE.

DO IT AGAIN.

THAT'S IT. AGAIN.

NOW TRY FOR MY FACE.

THAT'S IT.

KEEP YOURSELF OPEN.

KEEP IT OPEN. OPEN.

THAT'S IT, WIDE OPEN.

O.K...

1, 2, 3, 4, WHOO!

OW! OHH!

GOING TO GET, DAMN IT.

KEEP THAT GUARD UP.

WHEN YOU GO LIKE THAT,

BRING IT BACK.

KEEP YOUR GUARD UP.

KEEP YOUR GUARD UP!

NOW TRY IT WITH A JAB.

COME ON, TRY IT.

O.K. O.K.

NOW, YOU CAN

BUT I LIKE

THIS ONE BETTER.

WHAT YOU DO IS,

WITH THE SIDE OF

YOUR FOREARM LIKE THAT.

YOU WAIT TILL--HA!

NOW THAT'S DRY-GULCHING.

YOU HIT THEM

HA!

JUST ABOUT GOT

DRY-GULCHED, MISTER.

ASK HIM AGAIN. PLEASE.

I NEED IT SO MUCH.

I ASKED HIM ALREADY.

I ASKED HIM LAST WEEK.

I ASKED HIM THIS MORNING.

HE WANTS YOU TO KEEP

THAT PAPER ROUTE.

THEN MAKE HIM

GIVE ME THE MONEY.

I MEAN, IT'S MINE,

AND I EARNED IT.

IT'S $220 ALREADY.

HE WON'T DO IT, JACK.

HE SAYS

HE WANTS TO KEEP IT FOR

WHEN YOU REALLY NEED IT.

AW, IT'S NOT FAIR!

I OUGHT TO BE ABLE

TO KEEP MY OWN MONEY!

BUT IT'S MINE, MOM!

AT LEAST ASK HIM

ABOUT MY GYM SHOES.

I MEAN, I CAN

PRACTICE BAREFOOT,

BUT FOR GAMES,

I GOT TO HAVE SHOES.

I WON'T DO IT, JACK.

I WON'T BE A REFEREE.

OH, OH.

THE BRIDE WON'T ARGUE.

THE BRIDE WON'T EVEN

RAISE HER VOICE, HUH?

NO, BUT I'LL TELL YOU

WHAT THE BRIDE WILL DO.

THE BRIDE WILL GET UP

AND GO OVER THERE

AND SLAP THE HELL

OUT OF THE BRIDE'S SON.

NOW DOES THE BRIDE'S SON

WANT HIS FACE SLAPPED?

I HATE IT HERE.

YOU KNOW THAT?

I HATE IT HERE.

I WANT TO JUST

GET UP AND GO.

I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER

GET UP AND GO LEFT IN ME!

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

I CAN'T RUN ANYMORE,

JACK!

I'VE HIT A BRICK WALL HERE.

NOW THIS WHOLE THING

ISN'T EXACTLY PERFECT

FOR ME, EITHER.

LET ME IMPRESS THAT

ON YOU REAL STRONG, O.K.?

I DON'T EXACTLY WAKE UP

SINGING EVERY MORNING.

HONEY, I KNOW YOU

DON'T BELIEVE ME NOW,

BUT IT'S THE BEST THING.

O.K.?

I'M GOING TO MAKE

THIS MARRIAGE WORK.

I WON'T JOIN

IN ANY FIGHTS.

I WON'T EVEN

RAISE MY VOICE.

DO YOU SEE THESE?

HE PICKED THEM FOR ME

LAST NIGHT

ON HIS WAY HOME

FROM WORK.

BIG DEAL.

I'M JUST TRYING

TO CONCENTRATE

ON THE GOOD STUFF.

? TA-DA

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YEAH, I THINK I LOOK

LIKE A FOOL, TOO.

BUT WHO CARES?

SIX WEEKS TO GRADUATION.

CALIFORNIA, HERE I COME.

YOU HAVE TO TRY

AND CONCENTRATE

ON THE GOOD STUFF.

COME ON.

OH. HI.

YOU LIKE MY DOG?

YEAH.

IT'S NICE.

HE'S SMART, TOO.

HE CAN TALK.

SURE. I JUST ABOUT

BELIEVE YOU.

PEPPER,

WHAT'S ON A TREE?

[BARK]

BARK.

HMM.

PEPPER, I WANNA

ASK YOU SOMETHIN'.

HOW'S THE

WORLD TREATING YOU?

[RUFF]

ROUGH? HMM.

I KNOW HOW YOU MEAN.

THAT'S DUMB.

A LITTLE FUNNY,

THOUGH.

SO HOW COME YOUR DAD NEVER

COMES TO MEETINGS WITH YOU?

I DON'T HAVE A DAD.

I NEVER DID.

I SPRANG FULL-BLOWN FROM

MY MOTHER'S IMAGINATION.

YOU WANT TO WALK HOME

WITH ME AND PEPPER?

I KNEW I'D LIKE YOU,

'CAUSE YOU'RE AN ALIEN.

AN ALIEN?

YOU DON'T BELONG IN CONCRETE

ANY MORE THAN I DO.

I MEAN, THIS PLACE

WOULD LIKE TO KILL US

'CAUSE WE'RE DIFFERENT.

OH, COME ON, ARTHUR.

THAT'S A LITTLE DRAMATIC.

YOU THINK SO?

YEAH.

DO YOU KNOW

WHAT CHICKENS DO

WHEN ONE CHICKEN'S BORN

WITH A LITTLE DIFFERENCE?

OR WITH A COUPLE BLACK FEATHERS

ON ITS HEAD, SAY?

THEY PECK AT THAT BLACK SPOT

TILL THE CHICKEN'S DEAD.

I MEAN, THEY CAN'T STAND

THE FACT THAT IT'S DIFFERENT.

WE'RE BOTH DIFFERENT.

I MEAN, YOUR DIFFERENCE

IS SOMETHING OTHER

THAN MY DIFFERENCE,

BUT WE'RE

BOTH ALIENS HERE.

SEE, I DON'T EXACTLY

FEEL LIKE AN ALIEN.

I'VE GOT FRIENDS,

YOU KNOW.

THEY'RE IDIOTS.

YOU ACT LIKE AN IDIOT

WHEN YOU'RE AROUND THEM.

A PREDICTION--

IF YOU STAY IN CONCRETE,

YOU'LL WIND UP

WORKING AT THE A&P.

EITHER THAT OR

YOU'LL GO ON A RAMPAGE

WITH A HUNTING RIFLE.

OH, YEAH,

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

AND YOU'LL WIND UP

A RECLUSE

THAT EVERYBODY SAYS

LIKES TO DRESS UP

IN HIS MAMA'S

OLD CLOTHES.

HA HA HA.

MAYBE.

AH, ONE THING I KNOW...

NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES

I REPEAT...

MY PRIMARY GOAL IS

TO GET OUT OF CONCRETE.

BURMA SHAVE.

? BECAUSE

[SAXOPHONE PLAYS]

AND FIND THE GOOD STUFF.

YOU'RE A GODDAMN HOG!

DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE NOT!

HOW DO YOU KNOW

SKIPPER DIDN'T DO IT?

OR NORMA OR EVEN PEARL?

I TOLD ALL THREE OF THEM

TO STAY AWAY FROM

THIS CANDY FOR 24 HOURS.

HOW DO YOU KNOW

I EVEN ATE ANY?

'CAUSE I COUNTED THEM.

YOU HOGGED DOWN

11 CHOCOLATE-COVERED

CHERRIES

SINCE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

SO WHAT?

SO THAT MAKES

YOU A HOG!

I JUST WANT TO

ESTABLISH THAT FACT.

AND NOW I HAVE.

HEY, MR. HOT-SHOT

HOG AND I HAVE JUST

BEEN ESTABLISHING

SOME FACTS.

AND WHAT WE'VE COME

UP WITH IS THIS.

1--HE'S A PIG

WHO GOBBLES DOWN

EVERYBODY'S CANDY.

2--HE LIES ABOUT IT.

3--HE LAYS AROUND

ON HIS CANDY ASS

DAY AND NIGHT

READING AND READING.

AND 4--

HE'S NOT GETTING

ANY $10 GYM SHOES.

THAT'S ABOUT

WHAT WE'VE

COME UP WITH SO FAR.

NAH, NAH, NAH.

AW, DAD, WHY DON'T YOU

JUST LAY OFF?

DON'T GIVE ME

THAT "AW, DAD" SHIT.

NOW YOU SHUT YOUR

GODDAMN PIE HOLE!

HOW COME YOU NEVER

TAKE UP FOR ME, HUH?

WHY THE HELL DON'T

YOU EVER HELP ME

STRAIGHTEN

THAT DAMN BOY OUT?

I MEAN,

ALL HE EVER DOES

IS READ OR LISTEN

TO MUSIC OR SING.

I'M SO SICK OF IT.

? BLUE MONDAY,

BLUE MONDAY ?

I'M SO SICK

OF THAT SHIT!

AND WHEN

HE'S NOT SINGING,

YOU KNOW

WHAT HE'S DOING?

HE'S WATCHING TV, AND

DON'T SAY YOU DON'T.

'CAUSE WHEN I COME HOME,

I ALWAYS PUT MY HAND

ON TOP OF THE TV

TO SEE IF IT'S WARM.

AND IT ALWAYS IS!

THIS IS THE NEWS, KID.

I JUST WANT YOU TO

KNOW I'M WISE TO YOU!

BIG DEAL. SO WHAT?

AS LONG AS WE'RE

PASSING OUT NEWS,

I DON'T WANT TO DO

MY PAPER ROUTE.

I BET YOU DON'T,

BIG LAZY, CANDY HOG

LIKE YOU.

YOU'D RATHER

LAY ON YOUR ASS

AND READ ALL DAY,

WOULDN'T YOU?

WELL, LET ME

TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU'RE GOING TO DELIVER

THOSE GODDAMN PAPERS

IF I HAVE TO WALK

BEHIND YOU

WITH A HORSE WHIP

EVERY STEP

OF THE GODDAMN WAY.

OH, YEAH? YEAH?

THEN GIVE ME THE MONEY

THAT I EARNED!

OH, NO. I'M PUTTING THAT

IN THE BANK FOR YOU

FOR WHEN

YOU REALLY NEED IT.

CUSS ME NOW,

THANK ME LATER.

YOU'D SPEND THAT MONEY

IN A GODDAMN SECOND.

HOW CAN I PLAY BASKETBALL

WITHOUT ANY GYM...

IT'S NOT THE SHOES,

IS IT...

OR THE CANDY

OR ANYTHING ELSE?

IT'S ME, ISN'T IT?

YOU CAN'T STAND

THE FACT THAT I EXIST.

NO, IT'S NOT THAT AT ALL.

IT'S JUST THAT I...

NO, I...YOU JUST HAVE

TO BE WELL-BEHAVED.

YOUR RICH DADDY DUKE

DOESN'T CARE ANYTHING ABOUT YOU,

SO SOMEBODY'S

GOT TO TRAIN YOU,

AND ONE OF THE THINGS

YOU'VE GOT TO BE TRAINED IN

IS NOT TO BE A FUCKING HOG

AND HOG EVERYBODY'S CANDY

LIKE A FUCKING HOG!

OH! OH! OH! OH!

WHAT'S THE MATTER, HONEY?

I WILL NOT REFEREE!

UM, JACK...I THINK

YOU'VE UPSET YOUR MOTHER,

SO WHY DON'T WE

JUST GO ON TO SCOUTS

AND LET HER REST A WHILE?

HONEY, YOU JUST LAY DOWN,

AND YOU REST A WHILE.

NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID.

YOU GOT HER UPSET, TOO.

[DOOR SLAMS]

CHECK FOR

THE TONGUE TONIGHT.

YOU FORGOT IT

LAST WEEK.

OTHERWISE, YOU WON'T GET

YOUR LIFESAVING BADGE.

YOU HEAR ME?

? I WANDERED TODAY

TO THE HILL, MAGGIE ?

? TO WATCH THE SCENE

BELOW BELOW BELOW BELOW ?

? AND THE CREEK

AND OLD MILL ?

? MAGGIE

? AS WE USED TO

LONG, LONG AGO ?

[DOG BARKS]

? THE GREEN GROVE IS GONE

FROM THE HILL ?

? MAGGIE

? SINCE THE DAISIES

SPRUNG ?

? AND THE MILL IS STILL,

MAGGIE ?

? AS YOU AND I

WERE YOUNG ?

? DA DA DA DA

[PLAYING PIANO]

[DOG GROWLS]

[DOG BARKS]

[PLAYING PIANO]

? BLUE MONDAY

? HOW I HATE

BLUE MONDAY... ?

[DOG SNARLS]

[TELEVISION]

WONDERFUL IDEA...

[LUCY]

YOU KNOW, WE CAN BOTH--

[ETHEL]

WAIT JUST A MINUTE.

FORGET I EVER SAID IT.

WHOSE DOG IS THAT

ON THE PORCH?

YOURS.

MINE?

YEAH, YOU SAID

YOU WANTED A DOG.

A COLLIE, THOUGH,

NOT THAT THING.

WELL, HE'S YOURS.

YOU PAID FOR HIM.

GO GET READY

FOR NORMA'S PLAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

I PAID FOR HIM?

WHAT ARE YOU GOING AS,

A LAMB CHOP?

[AUDIENCE LAUGHTER]

THERE'S AN OLD-FASHIONED...

MY WINCHESTER'S GONE.

THAT DOG IS PUREBRED

ENGLISH BULLDOG.

IT'S A CHAMPION.

AND DON'T EVER

FORGET THAT.

SO? I DON'T WANT IT.

WELL, YOU'RE TRULY

OUT OF LUCK THEN,

BECAUSE THAT RIFLE'S

ON ITS WAY TO SEATTLE.

I WANT MY RIFLE.

WELL, WANT IN ONE HAND,

SHIT IN THE OTHER,

SEE WHICH

GETS FULL FIRST.

DWIGHT, THAT WINCHESTER

WAS MINE.

AND CHAMP

IS YOUR DOG.

JESUS, YOU KNOW,

I TRADE SOME

OLD PIECE OF CRAP

FOR A VALUABLE

HUNTING DOG,

AND ALL YOU CAN DO

IS PISS AND MOAN.

I'M NOT PISSING

AND MOANING.

THE HELL YOU AREN'T.

I MEAN,

YOU CAN JUST

MAKE YOUR OWN DEALS

FROM NOW ON.

[ETHEL]

OH, ALL RIGHT.

I SAID DON'T...

DON'T EVER

TOUCH ME AGAIN.

I'M ABSOLUTELY FINISHED.

THIS IS THE END.

AND I WANT YOU

TO GET OUT.

THIS WAS

THE IMPASSIONED TESTIMONY

THAT HELPED SWAY THE JURY

TO ACQUIT 14-YEAR-OLD

CHERYL CRANE OF THE MURDER

OF JOHNNY STOMPANATO--

BOYFRIEND

OF CHERYL'S MOTHER,

HOLLYWOOD FILM STAR

LANA TURNER.

THE JURY RETURNED A VERDICT

OF JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE

AFTER A SHORT DELIBERATION,

ALLOWING YOUNG CHERYL

TO GO FREE

FOR THE KILLING

OF STOMPANATO.

THE STABBING OCCURRED

IN THE MIDST

OF A HEATED ARGUMENT

WHEN THE 14-YEAR-OLD

GRABBED A KNIFE

AND SAID TO HER MOTHER,

"YOU DON'T HAVE

TO TAKE THAT,"

PLUNGING IT

INTO THE STOMACH

OF THE UNSUSPECTING

JOHNNY STOMPANATO.

HIS THREATENING BEHAVIOR

WAS CLEARLY A FACTOR

IN THE JURY'S

REACHING A VERDICT

OF JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.

A VIOLENT FINAL CHAPTER

IN THE STORMY AFFAIR

ENDS IN THE FAMOUS

PINK BEDROOM

OF LANA TURNER'S

BEVERLY HILLS MANSION.

OH, BECAUSE I WAS DOWNTOWN

AND HE TOLD ME

AN INTERESTING STORY

HOW HE AND THE DOG

HAPPENED TO MEET,

MR. TRUMAN

PLEDGES TO SUPPORT

JOHN F. KENNEDY

FOR PRESIDENT.

I ASK YOUR HELP

IN THIS CAMPAIGN.

[CROWD CHEERS]

HI.

IT'S GOOD NEWS, HONEY.

YOU KNOW, THEY SAY THAT

UH, TRUMAN'S GOING TO

CAMPAIGN FOR KENNEDY.

I GAVE $25

TO HIS OFFICE TODAY.

I WAS EVEN THINKING

MAYBE I COULD GO WORK--

[DWIGHT] HERE I AM,

YOU LUCKY PEOPLE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[JOHN F. KENNEDY]

ROOSEVELT OR STEVENSON TODAY...

THEY LOOK TO THE EAST.

I THINK THEY SHOULD

LOOK TO US...

SO THE S.O.B. HAD BEEN

ON MY BACK FOR A WEEK AT WORK,

OK, SAYING

I STOLE HIS WRENCH

AND POURED OIL

ALL OVER HIS TOOLS.

WELL, HE JUST WENT ABOUT

ONE STEP TOO FAR

WITH OLD DWIGHT.

HE SPAT ON THE FLOOR

AS I WALKED BY.

I TURNED AROUND,

I WALKED BACK TO HIM

ACTING HUMBLE AND SCARED,

YOU KNOW, ALL THIS,

AND THEN HE

TOOK HIS EYES OFF ME.

BLAM! I DRY-GULCHED

THAT SON OF A BITCH.

NEVER GAVE ME

ANOTHER SECOND'S GRIEF,

TO THIS VERY DAY,

AND THAT WAS

FIVE YEARS AGO.

[DOG SNEEZES]

YEAH. COME HERE.

YEAH. COME ON.

COME ON, CHAMP.

COME HERE, COME ON.

ATTABOY.

I HEARD MR. KENNEDY

ON THE NEWS AGAIN TONIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW...

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

SOMEBODY COMES ALONG

WHO DOESN'T SEEM LIKE...

HE'S SUCH A LIAR.

KENNEDY, THE SENATOR

FROM ROME.

GIVES ME HOPE.

NO, I KNOW WHAT

HE GIVES YOU,

AND IT SURE AS HELL

ISN'T HOPE.

HE IS VERY ATTRACTIVE.

[ADDRESSING DOG]

YEAH. COME HERE...

HE HAS THOSE

PEARLY WHITE TEETH.

I DON'T THINK

THAT'S IT.

COME ON, BOY.

ATTABOY.

I'M...I'M GOING TO GO

WORK FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

OH, NO, THAT'S

A BAD IDEA. BAD IDEA.

TOO MANY REPUBLICANS

IN THIS TOWN.

THEY HEAR MY WIFE'S

WORKING FOR THE DEMOCRATS,

THEY'LL TAKE THEIR CARS

SOMEPLACE ELSE TO BE FIXED.

THAT'S A BAD IDEA. NO.

ALL RIGHTY, BOY? RIGHT,

MY LITTLE BABY BOY?

COME TO DADDY.

WHAA!

I'M WORKING FOR

THE KENNEDYS' CAMPAIGN.

ARE YOU THROUGH, DEAR?

YOU'RE NOT WORKING

FOR THAT CAMPAIGN.

WE'LL SEE

ABOUT THAT.

YOU'RE NOT WORKING

FOR THE CAMPAIGN!

GET THAT THROUGH

YOUR GODDAMN HEAD.

YOU'RE NOT WORKING

FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

THERE'S NO REASON

ON EARTH

WHY I CAN'T

GO WORK FOR THEM.

THERE IS EVERY REASON

IN THE WORLD.

I JUST TOLD YOU WHY.

YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.

I'LL DO IT.

WHAT?

I JUST TOLD YOU WHY.

I'LL BE THROUGH

IN A MINUTE.

YOU LEFT

THE LID OFF

THE DAMN

TOOTHPASTE AGAIN.

DWIGHT, IS THAT THE BEST

YOU CAN COME UP WITH?

THIS IS MY HOUSE,

AND I GET THE SAY

ABOUT THE TOOTHPASTE.

YOU GOT THAT?

HUH? HAVE YOU?

HUH?

NOW IF YOU LIVED

WITH YOUR DADDY DUKE

AND HIS RICH WIFE,

MAYBE THINGS

WOULD BE DIFFERENT.

BUT HE'S NOT HERE NOW,

IS HE? IS HE?

OH, DUKE. DUKE,

ARE YOU HERE?

DUKE? DUKIE?

ARE YOU HERE?

OH, HOW SAD.

DUKE'S NOT HERE.

OH, BOO-HOO.

MY HOUSE, MY BATHROOM.

I GET TO SAY

ABOUT THE TOOTHPASTE.

YOU GOT THAT?

MMM. COME ON. COME ON.

GIVE ME AN EXCUSE.

COME ON.

HEY.

YOU DIDN'T PICK

THIS UP YESTERDAY.

CONGRATULATIONS. YOU GOT

NOTHING HIGHER THAN A "C."

SHUT UP.

VOILA.

YOU'RE GONNA

GET CAUGHT SOMEDAY.

OOH, I'M SO SCARED.

REALLY.

YOU ACT MORE

LIKE THOSE MORONS

YOU HANG AROUND WITH

EVERY DAY.

HEY, I'M PSYCHO.

I'M RETARDED.

YEAH, HE HEARS YOU

DO THAT, YOU'RE DEAD.

HEY, LET ME COPY

YOUR MATH HOMEWORK.

NO, BUT I'LL SHOW YOU

HOW TO WORK THE PROBLEM.

I TELL YOU

I'M THIRSTY,

AND YOU OFFER ME

A SANDWICH.

THANK YOU

AND FUCK YOU.

I TAKE IT BACK.

YOU DON'T ACT LIKE PSYCHO,

YOU ACT LIKE DWIGHT.

I KNOW IT.

HE'S WINNING,

ISN'T HE?

I DO ACT LIKE HIM,

AND I FEEL

LIKE HIM

SOMETIMES.

I GOTTA GET OUT

OF THIS DAMN PLACE,

OR I'M DEAD ONE.

SURE, YOU'VE SAID THAT

FOR TWO YEARS.

THIS TIME I MEAN IT.

I'M GOING TO GO LIVE

WITH MY BROTHER GREGORY

IN PRINCETON.

OH, THE BROTHER GREGORY

IN PRINCETON

WHO NEVER CALLS YOU?

THAT BROTHER GREGORY?

NO, BUT, YOU KNOW,

I MAY GO TO A PREP

SCHOOL LIKE HE DID.

YEAH, LIKE MY DAD DID.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR GRADES?

AND WHAT WOULD YOU USE

FOR MONEY?

DWIGHT OWES ME

OVER 1,200 BUCKS.

IF I HADN'T LET HIM

KEEP MY PAPER ROUTE

MONEY, I'D BE O.K.

YEAH, IF THE DOG HADN'T

STOPPED TO PEE,

HE WOULD'VE

CAUGHT THE RABBIT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK DWIGHT

WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU.

I THINK YOU DO FIGHT

FOR THE PINK TEAM.

MY BROTHER GREGORY AND I

HAD BEEN IN TOUCH.

HE SAID THE ROAD FROM

CONCRETE TO PRINCETON

STARTED WITH S.A.T.s,

AND THAT I COULD

TAKE THEM

AT THE LAKESIDE SCHOOL

IN SEATTLE.

DWIGHT SAID I HAD AS MUCH

CHANCE OF PASSING THE TEST

AS HE HAD OF FARTING

HIS WAY THROUGH

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.

HI, HONEY.

WOULD YOU TAKE THAT

TRASH OUT FOR ME, PLEASE?

THANK YOU.

MY APPLICATION FORMS

MUST'VE COME TODAY,

AND HE THREW THEM AWAY.

HEY, I THOUGHT

I WAS HELPING HIM.

THOUGHT I'D SAVE HIM

SOME TROUBLE

'CAUSE HE'S GOT NO CHANCE

OF GETTING INTO

SOME FANCY PREP SCHOOL.

ALWAYS GOT YOUR NOSE

PRESSED UP

AGAINST

THE BIG SHOP WINDOW.

HAVEN'T YOU, DWIGHT?

WHAT?

YOU'RE SO AFRAID

THAT SOMEONE ELSE

IS GOING TO

GET SOMETHING

THAT YOU NEVER HAD.

IT'S WHAT

MAKES YOU MEAN.

AND YOU KNOW

SOMETHING, DWIGHT?

ONE OF THESE DAYS,

ALL THAT MEANNESS IS

GOING TO SNAP BACK

AND SLAP YOU

RIGHT IN THE FACE.

OH, I AM SO SCARED.

I AM SO SCARED!

OH-OH-OH!

THIS IS ALL

YOU GAVE ME FOR DINNER?

WHEN I WENT TO FILL OUT

THE APPLICATION FORMS,

I RAN INTO A WALL.

THEY WANTED LETTERS OF

RECOMMENDATION FROM TEACHERS.

I FIGURED I COULD

WRITE THESE MYSELF,

BUT THEY WANTED MY GRADES

ON OUR OFFICIAL

HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT FORMS,

AND THIS WAS A PROBLEM.

I WON'T DO IT.

WHY NOT? YOU WORK

RIGHT IN THE OFFICE.

NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW.

I'M SURPRISED

YOU WANT HELP

FROM ANYONE WHO FIGHTS

FOR THE PINK TEAM.

LOOK, I'M ASKING YOU

FOR HELP, MAN.

I GOT WORD YESTERDAY THAT

I DID REALLY WELL

ON THOSE TESTS,

BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

I'VE GOT TO CHEAT

AND I'VE GOT TO LIE.

IF THEY WANT As,

I HAVE TO GIVE 'EM TO 'EM

ONE WAY

OR ANOTHER.

IT'S SUCH

A SIMPLE THING.

YOU'RE THE ONLY WAY--

NO.

WHY SHOULD YOU GET TO BE

THE ONE WHO LEAVES?

WHY NOT ME?

[BELL RINGS]

YOU COULD LEAVE, TOO,

YOU KNOW.

NAH, I'VE GROWN

PROGRESSIVELY FOND

OF CONCRETE.

I THINK

I'LL STAY HERE ALL ALONE

AND DRESS UP IN MY MOM'S

OLD CLOTHES SOMETIMES.

YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID.

[SAW BUZZES]

OW!

EXCUSE ME. I NEED

SOME HELP HERE.

FUCK.

JACK!

JACK, YOU GOT LETTERS

FROM THOSE SCHOOLS!

[LAUGHTER]

HEY, WOLFF!

BRING THAT BOTTLE

OVER HERE.

BRAND NEW WITH

THE NICE SHINE

AND EVERYTHING,

DEFINITELY.

OH, BULLSHIT.

NOBODY IN YOUR FAMILY'S

EVER EVEN BEEN

IN A CORVETTE.

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO

OWN ONE, RIGHT?

YEAH.

GO DOWN TO THE DRUGSTORE

AND PICK IT UP.

I'M GOING TO MOVE

DOWN TO SEATTLE,

I'M GONNA

GET A JOB AT BENDIX,

AND THEN I'LL BE

DRIVING TO WORK

IN MY VETTE

EVERY DAY.

MY UNCLE CAN HAVE

ANY CAR HE WANTS.

MAKES BIG BUCKS

AS AN ELECTRICIAN.

OH, YEAH? HOW BIG?

175 A WEEK TAKE-HOME.

BULLSHITTER. THE SUPERVISORS

AT BENDIX DON'T MAKE THAT.

THEN HOW WILL YOU MAKE ENOUGH TO

DRIVE A VETTE, FUCKFACE?

I'M GOING TO DRIVE

A T-BIRD SOMEDAY.

YEAH, AND I AM

GOING TO OWN A VETTE

EVEN IF I HAVE TO HOLD UP

THE BENDIX PAYROLL

TO GET IT.

LOSERS.

BUNCH OF LOSERS.

WHO YOU CALLING

A LOSER?

JACKIE CALLED US LOSERS.

[LAUGHTER]

[GLASS SHATTERS]

OOH!

JACK'S TOUGH!

ALL OF YOU.

OOH, JACKIE.

BIG, BAD WOLFFIE.

JUST LIKE

YOUR DADDY DOES.

TELL ME SOMETHIN',

PSYCHO, TELL ME...

HOW YOU EVER GOING TO

DRIVE A T-BIRD

IF YOU'RE A JANITOR

LIKE THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY?

YOU COULD FORGET ABOUT

BEING AN ELECTRICIAN

'CAUSE YOU CAN'T EVEN

PASS 10th GRADE MATH.

WHO DIED AND MADE YOU

KING SHIT, WOLFF?

YEAH. YOU'RE NO

BETTER THAN US.

I KNOW.

THAT'S MY POINT, PSYCHO.

YOU GUYS ARE

MY BUDDIES.

YOU GUYS ARE MY PALS.

MY DEAR OLD DAD'S

WELCOME TO

BEAUTIFUL CONCRETE!

WE ONLY TAKE BOYS

THAT REALLY WANT

TO WORK HARD.

IS THAT YOU?

I WANT YOU TO START

EVENINGS NOW.

AND I'D WANT YOU

TO WORK ALL SUMMER.

NO VACATIONS.

FOOD SERVICE WORK

ISN'T EASY, YOU KNOW.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING

THAT, UH,

COMES TO YOU

IN A YEAR OR TWO.

SO YOU THINK YOU GOT

WHAT IT TAKES

TO BE AN A&P

MANAGEMENT TRAINEE?

YEAH. THAT'S EXACTLY

WHAT I'VE GOT.

[PERRY COMO]

NOW WHERE DID

THIS ONE--

I GOT ONE.

THIS ENTIRE PUZZLE,

AND I'M GONNA HAVE ONLY

GOTTEN ONLY ONE PIECE IN.

TRY TO FIND ONE

THAT GOES WITH WHITE.

SO YOU KNOW--

[SLAMS CABINET]

HI, MOM!

HI, SWEETHEART.

YOU'RE VERY LATE.

WE HAD TO START

DINNER WITHOUT YOU.

I KNOW. I'M SORRY.

WELL, WE HAD

TO GO AHEAD AND EAT,

BUT IF YOU JUST GIVE ME

A SECOND,

I'LL GET YOUR DINNER.

NO, THAT'S OK.

I'LL GET SOMETHING AT WORK.

WELL, I DON'T WANT YOU

TO GO TO WORK

ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

NOW JUST

GIVE ME A SECOND--

MOM, I CAN'T.

I'M IN A RUSH. SORRY.

THERE'S A NICE WARM

PLATE IN THE OVEN

PUT IT ON ON THE TABLE.

I'LL BE THERE IN

A MINUTE TO HELP YOU.

WHAT ARE THESE?

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS.

I MADE THEM FOR YOU.

[NEEDLE SCRATCHES RECORD]

I WAS TRYING TO LISTEN

TO A RECORD.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO.

YEAH, HE'S HERE.

ARE YOU TOBIAS?

HELLO?

WHO WAS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

ALL RIGHT.

O.K. TOMORROW, THEN.

BYE.

WELL?

THAT WAS HILL SCHOOL,

THE LAST ONE THAT

I APPLIED TO?

NOW THEY HAVEN'T

ACCEPTED ME YET,

BUT THEY'RE SENDING SOMEBODY IN

TO INTERVIEW ME.

OHHH...

MMM!

HERE YOU GO.

THANKS, ROSS.

UH-HUH.

YEAH, I ENJOY

MY CLASSES,

ESPECIALLY

THE ADVANCED ONES.

BUT LATELY,

I'VE BEEN FEELING

A LITTLE RESTLESS.

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S

HARD TO EXPLAIN.

COME ON, THAT'S

EASY TO EXPLAIN.

YOU'RE

PROBABLY BORED.

YOU'RE NOT BEING

CHALLENGED.

TOBY, YOUR APPLICATION

WAS VERY GOOD.

BUT WE HAVE MANY BOYS

WHO WANT TO GO TO HILL.

AND NOT EVERYBODY IS

COMFORTABLE AT PREP SCHOOL.

OH. WELL,

I THINK I WOULD.

YOU SEE,

BOTH MY FATHER

AND BROTHER WENT

TO PREP SCHOOLS.

IS THAT RIGHT?

WHERE?

DEERFIELD AND CHOATE.

I SEE!

WELL, YOU MIGHT LIKE IT.

UH, UH, HILL WAS

DIFFICULT FOR ME, THOUGH.

ACADEMICALLY,

IT WAS HARD.

AND THEN MY LAST YEAR,

THINGS CHANGED.

THE GUYS IN MY CLASS

GREW CLOSE IN WAYS

THAT I NEVER WOULD'VE

THOUGHT POSSIBLE.

SO CLOSE THAT--WELL,

I STILL THINK OF THEM

AS--AS SORT OF

MY SECOND FAMILY.

I WANT THAT.

I DO.

SO SHE SAYS, "NO, I DON'T

WANT YOU TO DO THAT."

I SAID, "OH, JULIE,

WHY NOT LET ME GET DOWN

AND GROVEL IN IT?"

I MEAN, I ATE HER PUSSY

TILL MY TONGUE

WAS CALLOUSED.

AND THEN I NOTICED

THAT HER NIPPLES

GOT NICE AND HARD.

YOU KNOW, NOT THOSE

BIG FAT NIPPLES,

BUT NICE, HARD,

RAISIN NIPPLES.

SO ANYWAY, SHE GOES OFF

LIKE THIS ROMAN CANDLE.

I MEAN,

THAT WOMAN CAN SCREAM.

AND I SAYS, "YOU LIKED THAT,

DIDN'T YOU, BABY?

YOU LIKE THE OLD ARCH COOK

SPECIAL, DON'T YOU?"

HI, RICHIE.

[ENTRANCE BELL DINGS]

TOBY, BOYS AT HILL TALK

ROUGHLY, TOO, SOMETIMES.

I CAN SEE YOU'VE LED

RATHER A SHELTERED LIFE.

[SLURPS]

YEAH.

WELL, YOU SEEM

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU

A GOOD REPORT TOMORROW.

BUT, TOBY, THERE ARE

LOTS OF BOYS APPLYING.

JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND

SEE WHETHER OR NOT...

HEY, HOTSHOT!

HEH. THAT'S

THE HOTSHOT BOY.

THAT'S THE GUY WHO

THINKS HE KNOWS EVERYTHING.

THINKS HE'S SO SMART.

FELLA,

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW

WOULD FILL A BOOK.

EDSEL'S A SHIT CAR.

[BELL DINGS]

HE'S--HE'S A MECHANIC.

HE DID SOME REALLY

BAD WORK ON OUR CAR.

IT'S JUST--HE ACTS LIKE THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY.

WELL.

GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

HI.

HEY.

I KNOW SOMETHING THAT'S

GOING TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.

THAT MAN CALLED.

THEY'RE GOING TO

SOMEPLACE AND DIE?

WHAT ABOUT ME?

WHEN IS IT EVER

DWIGHT'S TURN

FOR SOME

CONSIDERATION?

WHAT ABOUT ME?

[CAROLINE LAUGHS]

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING!

YOU'LL REMEMBER ME!

IT WAS AS EASY AS THAT.

WE JUST PICKED UP

AND LEFT.

YOU CAN DREAM

OF A MOMENT FOR YEARS

AND STILL SOMEHOW

MISS IT WHEN IT COMES.

YOU'VE GOT TO REACH THROUGH

THE FLAMES AND TAKE IT...

OR LOSE IT FOREVER.

I TOOK IT,

AND SO DID MY MOTHER.

WE NEVER LOOKED BACK.

AAH! AAH! OOH!

O.K., NOW, I'VE

BORROWED MONEY

FROM EVERYBODY

WE KNOW,

SO THERE'S

THE EXTRA $200

YOU NEED

FOR YOUR TUITION.

THANKS.

50 IN THERE,

SO GET YOURSELF A BLAZER

OR SOMETHING, O.K., HONEY?

O.K.

WELL.

GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT?

WELL, WHEN MY BUS COMES

IN ABOUT TWO HOURS...

I'LL BE FINE.

OH, I'M GOING TO

MISS YOU SO MUCH.

GET ON THE BUS, MOM.

I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT.

ALL ABOARD.
