Hang on a second.

Ah, the complete angler.

Big day tomorrow.

Hi.

Hey Cliffie, how you doing?

Getting ready for school tomorrow? Yeah.

Well listen, good luck.

I told him, "Hector, TV is a narcotic."

"It drains away your manhood, if you watch it all the time."

It's a drug.

Exactly, a drug.

There he is, a young fellow, only 67 years old,

Already his eyes are turning into headlights.

It got to where...

I practically had to drag him to bed.

Well, that's what bust us up.

Oh, hey...

These are the Dumpys' from Cincinnati.

Dunphys'.

He makes those cute little "get well" cards. She writes the verses.

You got any X-rated cards? Not as yet Mrs. Peache.

Oh! Say, that looks delicious.

Why don't you squeeze a... little shot'a,

lemon in there. A little zing to it.

Live a little huh?

Now where... Oh yeah.

Everything is under control Stan.

Hi dad.

She no longer has access to the room keys.

I can't do that, she is my mother.

I already explained that. It was nothing more than a misunderstanding.

Mm-Hmm.

Great, well Griffith is not the manager of this hotel, I am.

Just trust me, ok?

The wiring in 405's all set up. I'll finish 406 tomorrow.

Tomorrow? When?

I don't know, after lunch. That's too late.

What do you want miracles? I gotta talk... Hold on OK? Hey Marty will you please wait.

She's not in the Pump Room. Oh God.

I can't be everywhere. Look, I'm on my break.

She's in the bar. Alone?

Hey I'm outta here. I got a Union meeting.

I'll call you back, ok? Yeah. Righ... Bye.

Where is he?

Well as usual, this hotel is operating like a well-oiled machine.

You have time for dinner? Come on.

Yes Griffith. Mr. Peache... Things are going quite badly.

The fourth floor is a disaster area.

Mrs. Dunphy there at the bar, alleges that her husband was propositioned by an elderly lady.

And we know who that was.

Senator Byrum, has had his suite double-booked.

Ok, I'll take care of Mrs. Dunphy and the Senator,

and you take care of the fourth floor.

And you, young man, still have to eat.

Well, I'll try and join you. Ok?

Hello. Hello Miss.

Have you seen a...

You wouldn't be Mrs. Dunphy?

For crying out loud, you were described so differently to me.

You look wonderful Miss. This must be your father?

Bats!

Bats! Bats! Bats!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Did I scare you baby?

You didn't scare me. I saw you.

You did not, you little liar.

Nobody suspects a bat attack.

I saw it coming a mile off. Aww!

No, no.

Don't you strike a woman!

Men think women want that. They're wrong.

Leave her before you strike her.

Cliff, you put that pillow down. Put it right down.

That's it.

Ow!

Oh, stop it, stop it. All right, I quit, I quit, I give up.

Oh, you dirty rotten kid. You never take my advice.

Look! Look what I got for you today. Here it is.

A brand new notebook, and a pack of paper.

And uh, pens, and pencils and an eraser.

I always loved opening day of school myself.

I just loved going in the stationery stores.

They smell so terrific. Lumberyards too.

And bookstores.

Yeah, yeah. Nothing smells better than a good new book.

Mother! Oh, shh!

Mother?

Mother...

Mother.

How did you know I was back there?

A little heavy on the jungle gardenia.

Ooh! That smell lured 1,000 men into my clutches.

Your clutches...

Is precisely the subject of tonight's sermon,

and it's one we've talked about before many times.

I like the "thou shalt nots" best.

Mother I do not own this hotel. I simply manage it.

Don't underrate yourself Larry. Where would this place be without you?

With a brand new manager, that's where. And Griffith's been watching me like a vulture.

Oooh, that greasy wimp.

Well, the point is, he tells me that you try to pick up,

some guy from Cincinnati. A married man mom!

We were talking. We had a few drinks.

It was perfectly innocent. His wife was there all the time.

Ok.

Well... Where do you suggest we go, when they kick us out of this hotel?

Ehh well, the old actor's home. I'd be a resident, you'd be a manager.

Cliff will be a busboy. I'll just retire.

No, you young man, are going to school, and try to act like a student.

I am going downstairs, and try to act like a hotel manager.

And mom... Yes Larry.

Try...

For God's sake, to act your age.

I hope he acts his age. You gonna act your age? I'll try.

Yeah, I'm not gonna try. You try.

Give 'em hell champ.

I'll pick you up at 3:00.

Excuse me. Is 235 that way?

Good morning.

Would you please find a seat?

Hey, I'm sitting there. Sorry.

Hello! Would you please find a seat?

And find one you like because it will be your seat for the entire semester.

Uh, that's saved.

Would the young man in the blue shirt. Would you please find a seat and then sit in it.

Thank you.

Is this saved?

Feel under the desk.

You got gum there dating back to neanderthal times. Really?

The gum's not the worst. It's the boogers that freak me out.

You can get hepatitis from the fresh ones.

Hey Shelley, why don't we go out tonight? Ask Moody.

Who's the new kid? I don't know. He's kind of little.

Ask where he's from. You ask him. Oh go on!

Weren't you in Mr. Sanford's English class last year?

No, I'm new.

Oh yeah, my mistake. He's new.

Ladies and degenerates, here's Moody!

Don't applaud, just throw money.

Aww.

I'm sure we're all thrilled to have Mr. Moody among us,

as we begin this great adventure known as your sophomore year.

I saved a seat for you.

Thanks a lot. Hey Willie, wanna take this seat?

Hey you know you grew up a lot over the summer baby.

Where did you get this beautiful hair? K-Mart.

Heh heh heh. "K-Mart."

What's so funny? Excuse me Mr. Moody.

Are you having trouble finding a seat?

Yeah I had one but this sucker swiped it from me.

I was here first. Bullshit, he...

If you can't find a seat back here, I'd be glad to have you come sit up front with me.

Alan Blumenthal. Cyndie Rush.

Move over to that seat.

Ricky Linderman.

Yeah they locked Linderman up.

Does anybody know if Ricky Linderman is in school?

I hope not. Who wants him?

Who's Linderman? No one, just the local mass murderer.

Does anybody know for a fact if Ricky Linderman is in school or not?

Probably in New York climbing the Empire State Building.

Thank you, Mr. Moody. Thank you.

Clifford...

P-E-A-C-H-E.

Clifford is that "Peach" or "Peachy"? Peach.

Knew he was a fruit.

What, what did you say Melvin?

Melvin? Melvin?

I don't go by that, no more Clarice.

Fair enough. Alright why don't you call me Ms. Jump and, what shall we call you?

M. Big M. I like that.

Is that B-M for short?

Alright! That kid's gonna get it.

You've got nerve even if you're not gonna live long.

You and me, we're gonna have a little talk after school... Right?

Right? Huh?

You know that was so dumb what you said to Moody this morning.

I never saw anybody put him down before.

I hope you get away with it. Hold this, will ya?

Just don't let him catch you in the halls alone, or on the stairs either.

Yeah... Hold it over the bowl.

Or especially in the bathrooms.

I never go to the bathroom here if I can help it.

Well what do you do? Just hold it in.

Stay away from liquids.

That's ridiculous. You think so?

They say one kid got thrown out a window last year. Supposedly he's a vegetable now.

That's dumb. Who told you that? Plenty of people.

Then there's this other guy. Had his eye kicked out. Total gross-out.

Never found the eyeball either. How we doing here?

What do we got?

You've done this before. Yeah.

Did Moody do that? What?

Kick the guy's eye out.

Oh. I'm not saying he did, and I'm not saying he didn't.

But from my point of view, you're better off paying him protection money.

You pay Moody protection? Shh!

You better believe it. Lots of kids do.

He takes their lunch money every day. So now I'm brown-bagging it.

Now he claims he's gonna take my bus fare.

I don't think you shouldn't let him get away with it.

Yeah I know, but I'm kind of addicted to breathing.

Let's go.

Lock up in 15 minutes.

There's a little party after school Peachy. You're the guest of honor.

Yeah, but I have a car waiting. Yeah, I know.

Hey Moody, got a present for you.

Just a second.

Bring a dollar every day from now on, you got it?

Get outta here.

Hey, it's Peach Pit.

What do you say?

Just trying to make friends. Don't you wanna be friends?

All right. Here. What about me?

Sure. Shake hands with Dubrow.

How ya doing?

Where'd you go to school before you came here man?

Southside Academy. Ooh, costs a lot of money to go there.

Are you rich? No.

Hey, that's nothing to be ashamed of man.

No I'm not ashamed.

Knew he was rich. No I'm not, really.

Hey listen pal...

It's obvious you got the bread.

Question is, you got sense?

I'm serious man. Do you have sense?

Hmm? Hmm?

I think so, sometimes. I think so too.

So if you got sense you'll know this is no private academy school.

Now, you go to a school like this you need a damn bodyguard.

You know, we got Ricky Linderman in our homeroom?

You know about Linderman?

He's a psychopath. He just went berserk.

Wasted some kid.

Shot him in the head.

Blew his brain out. Why'd he do that?

Cause probably he was a pain in the ass.

Guys like Linderman lose control after a while, I tell ya.

Like that, you know?

That's when you come to us, we're bodyguards. Interested?

I don't know. For you it's cheap, uh...

Buck a day. Buck a day?

Yeah, buck a day. We give everyone the same deal.

You can work it out day to day, or week to week.

Any way you wanna work it out man.

Where am I gonna get a dollar a day?

Lunch money. You don't wanna eat that crap anyway.

50 cents they charge for that Godzilla feed.

It's a rip-Off.

60 if you want two milks.

So, for that same 60 cents, we're talking two milks.

Got us almost paid for.

Now all else you gotta do is uh...

Scrape up another 40.

I'm not gonna give you my lunch money. I have to eat.

You gotta eat, huh?

Come here.

Come here.

Tell you what...

Eat this.

Suddenly he changes his mind, eh?

Split up! Downstairs!

Cut him off! Got you now Peachy.

Get him!

Come on!

Come on, hit it!

Where you going Peachy?

Come on let's go!

Bye Peachy! Bye bye Peachy!

What's going on, Who were those guys?

Just some kids from school who wanna kill me.

I'd like to speak to Mr. Dobbs please.

Mm-Hmm.

Chief Of Operations, yes.

This is Mr. Griffith. Assistant manager of the Ambassador East.

Oh well, I think he will want to speak to me once he knows what it's about.

Tell him it's quite important.

Yes, I'll wait.

Fire, what's with the fire? Watch the ribs over there!

Don't burn the ribs!

Medium rare on the steak, medium rare ok?

Ok!

Put some butter, put some butter!

Yes.

Yeah.

Bon appetit. Thanks.

Ciro.

Ciro...

I just thought you'd might like to know my soup was cold.

How cold was it?

Very funny.

Very neat. Very neat.

He's a...

Oh, wait a minute.

Have you got any ideas who'll come in good in the fourth tomorrow?

I don't know... Lucky Lew I guess.

Handicapping is a science, not guesswork. How about Cousin Ed?

Yeah...

I've got an idea.

Why don't we just pack our things and leave?

Have a mint. Mother...

Where were you, today at 5:00?

At 5:00, let me see. I had a little drink.

Well the guy you tried to lure into the bar,

is a television Evangelist.

No wonder he looked so sour. You think he was sour?

You should've seen Griffith's face when he heard about it.

Mother we cannot have this kind of thing going on any... Oh, wow!

This is not the one we saw last night, is it?

The red sweater. No sweater.

Let me see... No, no, Clifford, Clifford, you're too young.

You're 14. I'm 15, let me see.

You're 15. That's one...

You're 15? Yeah.

Oh I should know that shouldn't I?

It's this damn job, 24 hours a day. I'm sorry.

Hey I heard you got in trouble with some kids today. Yeah.

Aw, quit worrying.

Your dad called up and raised hell about those boys.

You called the school? Great. Now I'll really get slaughtered.

Clifford, you're not going to get slaughtered.

They already think I'm a fruit.

Clifford, the principal's going to talk to those boys and straighten this whole thing out.

And if they try anything, you go right for the eyes.

Hit them hard as you can.

Blind them! Takes the fight right out of them.

Mother I don't think blinding fists is the answer to this problem.

Well then, kick 'em in the cojones! That's the thing.

No! No!

I'm older. I need this more.

How would you know that? I mean, he can't take a joke.

I don't see the humor in extortion, real or pretended!

Well maybe, maybe I guess...

It could have backfired a little bit. You bet it backfired on you.

I oughta suspend you.

But since school just started and since no harm was actually done,

I'm going to be a very nice guy and let you off...

Thanks. With a week's detention.

All right? Take a walk.

Clifford?

Clifford...

Things are a little less sheltered down here than they are at Southside.

You know, but don't let that throw you.

They're also, less narrow.

Just don't cry wolf every time somebody looks at you cross-eyed.

All right son? Come on. Get outta here.

You give me trouble. People don't do that around here.

So you better grow some eyes in back of your head.

Because you ain't going to know when it's coming.

Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet, were a couple of kids,

that had the hots for each other,

and they couldn't do anything about it because they lived in a society

where they had to be married to do anything about it.

They still do.

Romeo and juliet is a play about love and sex

and people willing to die for it.

yeah, I'm dying for it right now.

Can't do anything about that. We're talking about love and art.

Um...

Uh-oh.

Trouble.

That's Linderman.

Do you have a pass?

You do have a pass. Thank you.

Uh, if you'd like to take a seat in front you can.

Please God, let him sit up front, please.

Not in back of me, not in back of me.

I'll have a heart attack. I swear to God.

Pick him up, pick him up, pick him up!

Pick him up! Pick him up! Come on baby, pick him up!

Hey, watch the rough stuff. It's only practice.

Ok let's go. Come on, this is basketball. Let's move it.

If I were you, I'd report that to the principal.

You know, she's got nice hips.

Oh yeah. Nice hair too.

It's bleached, but that doesn't matter.

I mean, I don't care how blonde-haired girls get blonde hair,

You know as long as they're blonde. Yeah.

Physical appearance isn't anything. You know, but it helps.

Yeah. She's real nice-Looking.

Yeah.

Now when she looks at me she says, "Now there's a guy..."

"Who won't take no for an answer." Oh yeah? Yeah that's great.

So she uh, like sees the power huh?

Look, power isn't what she's after man.

Hi.

My uh, accountant over here tells me you're a little late on your first installment.

Is that right?

That's right, isn't it? That's right.

Well look I'm not going to pay. That's all. So...

Come on man, let's get something to eat.

Wait Linderman.

Could I ask you something?

It's, it's important.

Uh, I hope you don't get mad or anything,

But uh, would you like to make some money?

You see, there are these guys.

And uh, maybe you noticed them in the bathroom.

And they're making me pay protection. From what?

Well from themselves of course, but that's not what they say.

They say they're protecting me and some other kids from...

Well, mainly you. From me?

Yeah, I know that's not true, you know. Well, at least I think it's not.

But that's how I came up with this idea.

What idea?

Well, to pay you to be my bodyguard.

Maybe some other kids could too.

Like also, I could do your homework. I'm pretty smart.

But, at least it's not paying extortion.

Not interested.

♪ She's a hoofer from Fifth Avenue ♪

Good morning mother.

Griffith, good morning.

Do you want some breakfast? It's uh... liver.

No thank you. I just came by to tell you that we got a phone call from Mr. Dobbs.

Mr. Dobbs? Chief Of Operations.

He's going to be paying us a little visit.

Any particular reason?

Search me.

Ah, what's that all about? Guess.

Oh my God. Oh...

Nice to hear you say grace again, sweetheart.

I'm only kidding Mother. It's very good.

Is school ok? Yeah, terrific.

You're sure? I could call the principal again.

Dad, it's ok.

School's fine, I'm fine. Everything's just perfect.

What are you taking a trip?

Where does Linderman hang out? The slaughterhouse probably.

What's the matter with him anyway?

A lot of things from what I hear.

For one thing he's supposed to have raped a teacher.

I also heard he shot a cop.

I happen to know for a fact that what he did was kill a kid.

About a year ago.

In cold blood. Blew his brains out.

I don't believe it.

Look it up then. It's in the newspapers.

I still don't believe it.

He would not have stopped then, for anything less necessary than breath.

It being a spectral sort of race he ran,

and one highly desirable to get to the end of.

He had a strong idea that the coffin he had seen was running after him.

And pictured it hopping on behind him bolt upright upon its narrow end,

always on the point of overtaking him, and hopping on at his side,

perhaps taking his arm.

It was a pursuer to shun.

It hid in doorways too,

rubbing its horrible shoulders against doors and drawing them up to its ears, as if it were laughing.

It got into shadows on the road, and lay cunningly on its back to trip him up.

All this time it was incessantly hopping on behind and gaining on him.

So that when the boy got to his own door, he had reason for being half-dead.

No. I mean...

Where's my money Rick?

Well, I didn't think I had to pay cause Clifford isn't.

What'd you call me? Nothing.

You heard him, didn't you Reissman? Yeah.

What are you doing? Let's go to your locker.

Ow! What are you doing?

Reissman's going to pay us from now on, Cliff.

How about you? Let me out!

Somebody come here! Help! Come on, let me out!

Help me!

Let me out!

Come on!

Help! Someone let me out!

You want your turn? Go ahead!

I haven't got all day, you big, dumb son of a bitch!

Yes ma'am? Say it!

Can I have a Coke and a...

Hey Shelley. Wanna go to the movies tonight?

I guess so. Sure.

OK you have a real good time while you're there huh?

What's going on over there!?

Where's your limo Peachy? You feeling suicidal or what?

Should have planned ahead because you're dead.

Look at this shirt. Look at what you did to this.

Moody... I'd like you to meet my bodyguard.

Anything you want to say to me, talk to him first.

Now uh, what was that you were saying?

Beat it Moody.

Man... We can take this guy! He's all yours Big M.

Go ahead Moody. Show him how tough you are.

How about you guys? Come on, we can take this dude. He's a chump man.

Who's the fruit this time, huh Moody?

I'm walking.

What do you say? Don't leave me hanging man.

Not now.

Oh and Melvin...

Your protection services are no longer required.

By anyone. You know what I mean?

You can go now.

Hey Moody.

You owe me a year's worth of lunches.

Oh, what a great day!

See Carson flip him the bird? What, didn't you love it?

You know, we're not gonna let up till he pays back every cent he ever took from everybody.

You all through now?

What's wrong?

"We" aren't doing anything.

Got it? But aren't we a...

I thought we were sort of a team now.

You thought wrong.

Their team is so slow,

But our team...

Let's go!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Let's...

Go!

Ok, you guys.

OK, are you guys getting it?

Ok, our day is over. Ok bye.

Looking forward to the next time.

Oh Karen listen, don't call me tonight.

Oh hi. Hi.

Where did you come from? I was in the theater.

What'd you think? It was good. Yeah?

I'd like to talk to you about one of the kids in your class.

Did you try asking one of the kids in the class?

Uh... well, it's Linderman.

Oh. Ricky Linderman huh? Yeah.

What do you want to know about Ricky Linderman?

Everybody's afraid of him. Mm-Hmm.

I don't want to be, but... There are all those stories about him.

What do you think about those stories?

They can't all be true.

Well, I know something that happened. Would you like to know what I know?

Yes.

About a year ago...

He had a younger brother.

And, the kid was playing at home one day...

Went into his father's closet, found a gun that was loaded

and was playing and it accidentally went off.

And he killed himself.

And Ricky, unfortunately was the first person to find the body.

And I don't think he's recuperated from that.

That's the only story I know.

But, what about all those stories about him killing a cop and breaking teachers' legs?

I don't know about those stories.

All I know is what I just told you. Ok.

Ok? Does that help you at all?

Yeah I think so. Ok.

This saved?

What do you call this stuff?

Garbage.

Uh, could you pass the salt?

Just getting the salt.

Ok so, maybe we're not a team. Maybe I was wrong.

But I thought when somebody does somebody a favor, he owes him one.

You don't owe me. Yes I do.

You didn't have to do what you did, but you did it anyway.

You know, I thought it meant we were friends now.

You didn't even accept money for it. Where you going?

The show's over. What show? That wasn't any show.

Get lost. All I want...

Do you always get what you want?

Hey.

You know, those things will stunt your growth.

Ha ha ha.

Move up a bit, come on.

You know at night the cops won't even walk around here.

Next time you wanna pull anything like this, call a detective.

Ok follow him, come on. Look it's one way, I... Follow anyway.

Well it's... Look it's a one-way street.

Hey what are you, hey... Cliff, get back, hey Cliff?

Come over here with a dollar.

What's wrong with you? Hey you got a dollar man?

Give me a dollar!

Hey!

What are you following me for?

I told you. I thought maybe we could be friends.

We can't.

Linderman.

Look, I know about what happened, with your brother and everything.

You do huh?

Sure I mean hell it... It could have happened to anybody.

Drop it.

Ok?

Ricky. What?

Where am I and how the hell do I get out of here?

Come on.

Where we going?

Yours? Yep.

Fantastic. Use it much?

Don't use it at all. Won't run.

You like it? Yeah.

Get on. Oh no.

Ehh, go ahead, climb aboard.

Yeah?

Hey! Careful.

What's the matter with it?

Cylinder. I can't find the right one.

They don't make them anymore.

I've been putting this together for a year now and I'm down to one lousy cylinder.

You built this? Rebuilt it.

Almost.

Hello. How you doing?

You have a cylinder for a 350 cylinder?

You got one? No I don't.

You sure? Nope. Sorry.

How about your mom?

Oh, she died a couple of years ago. Car accident.

That's too bad. Yeah. My grandmother moved in with us.

She's like no one I've ever seen before.

You know, she's really old but, she acts like a kid.

She gets... A little drunk, picks up guys.

You're kidding. No.

Sounds great. No she is, really.

We gotta keep an eye on her cause uh, you know she gets into things.

Maybe she's afraid of being old, and dying.

No I think she's afraid of, not being alive.

My dad had one of those. It looked like that then.

What does your dad do? Watches TV.

How's this?

Almost.

He was only nine.

I practically raised him since he was two.

He'd drive you crazy.

Tell him to sit down, he'd stand up.

Tell him to do his homework, he'd read a comic book.

Couldn't eat food without spitting it at ya.

A real shoplifter too.

Go through a store half of it would wind up in his pocket.

He was a good kid.

A real handful though.

Poor little guy.

Poor little guy.

That's her Mr. Dobbs.

I gotta go.

Hello Mrs. Peache. I'd like you to meet Mr. Dobbs,

He's Chief Of Hotel Operations.

How do you do? Hiya good-Looking!

Griffith has been telling me a great deal about you.

Has he? Oh well um...

Uh, sit down. Have a little drink.

They don't ever charge me for them. You know what I mean?

Boy, this is really the life.

You know it's interesting.

I must have met, about a million people.

The only problem is not too many kids, mostly adults.

Anytime you want to trade, it's ok with me.

Some view. Is it good for stargazing?

Uh...

Stars...

The uh, moon. And uh...

Other heavenly bodies.

All right.

What time is it? About 7:00.

That's Linda over there.

So I trust your stay here was a pleasant one.

Very pleasant.

And the room was all right?

Perfect.

And the service was...

Adequate?

More than adequate.

Thank you. You're welcome.

When will you be visiting us next?

Friday. Hmm.

Well I think we can accommodate you. I certainly hope so.

Dad? So have a very safe flight. This is yours.

And your key?

You already have it Peachy. Of course.

Peach. Yeah. We're talking a two-day job on the air conditioning.

If it gets any hotter in here we're going to have some miserable customers.

Well, what if we work through the night?

Night? That way we just have one l day without air conditioning.

Night? Night. I would appreciate it.

Peache here. Thank you.

Peache here.

My mother?

Oh no.

Where?

How serious is it?

Mother?

Are you... What is i...

Just don't get excited. He's all right.

Didn't know his limitations.

I warned him but he kept saying he was an animal, an animal.

Give me this.

Give me this. Do you know who this is?

Your goose is really cooked this time Peache.

She's finally done it.

Griffith...

Will you stop hovering over me?

Get away from me!

I'm just getting my second wind.

You can really dance sweetheart.

You're not so bad yourself dobbsy. Just a little out of shape is all.

Well I haven't danced or had a good time, for ever so long.

Sir... Get away!

Can I see you for a second?

Griffith uh, sit down.

They're getting along so well aren't they?

So why not check on tomorrow's reservations?

Better yet...

Why don't you go about make some reservations for yourself,

at some nice little comfy hotel where you can go and soak your feet,

after a hard day of job hunting. But I...

Don't worry about us, we'll be fine.

Want a job Cliffie?

Now, you just go up to your room, get a little rest,

cause we got a long night ahead of us.

All right.

But you be right here when I come back in an hour.

Or I'll be coming after you.

Thank you.

Uh, are you Linderman?

Would you care to trip the light fantastic?

Mother... no.

Aw, let's go eat.

Go like this.

Oh...

Drop the bouquet.

Hey....

Hey, terrific heart line!

You got a lot of girlfriends?

No ma'am.

I'm talking in the future, smart guy.

You're also very intellectually inclined.

Think that's in the future too.

I have to be right about something.

You sure this is your hand? Wish I could deny it.

What happened to your wrist? Nothing.

Accident.

Let me finish.

Open up Ricky.

You're among friends. You're among friends.

I see a long life line.

Very good, very valuable.

If you're gonna live for 10 more years, then you're going to snuff it, you know.

Mine's broken in half.

Is it? Yeah.

Ooh! You're gonna die.

No, these are your need-for-affection lines.

And you don't have any.

Look like wrinkles to me. Ah this guy.

He's a sex maniac, he is.

A real playboy huh?

Mine says "love me, love me."

What are you trying...

What does a double-jointed thumb mean? This is the best damn food, this whole area.

Hey I've been looking for you guys.

I've got someone i want you to meet.

Clifford, this is Mike.

Ricky, this is Mike.

He's my bodyguard.

What do you say pal?

Moody tells me you're a tough guy huh?

You're a real killer. Is that right?

Beat up kids...

Rape old ladies...

Is that right?

Huh?

Heard you even killed your own brother.

Got away with it too I heard.

That's bullshit. Is it bullshit, huh Rick?

Huh, huh?

Is it bullshit?

Hey killer, why you on your knees?

You queer or something? Huh?

Come on, get up!

Huh?

Tough huh? You going to hurt me?

You really think you're gonna hurt me?

Huh?

Huh?

You're not so tough.

Thought you said this guy is tough huh?

Yeah, we'll see huh?

Tough magazine huh? Hey, he reads.

Come on with it, come on. Show me what you got.

Yeah. Real winner huh? A real menace.

Why don't you go kick his ass?

Hey killer.

Where you going?

This your tough bike? Huh?

This your tough bike?

Don't look so tough to me.

Think I'm tough enough to ride this?

Huh?

Come on, get up. I think I want to ride it too.

I said get up!

Let's see how tough this bike is huh.

Hey don't!

Where you going? Let me go!

Hey Moody... I thought you said this guy was bad huh.

Don't look so bad to me.

Don't, come on! What's it take to get this man going huh?

Get up man!

Leave him alone. Come on Moody!

Hey Moody, this is a drag man.

Give me a call when you really need me, you know?

I like to earn my money.

Want me to kick your ass?

Yes or no?

Yeah he wants me to kick his ass.

Yeah he wants me to kick his...

What are you doing Moody, don't. Put the bike back.

Moody, don't do that. What are you d...

Moody don't! Moody!

Hey yeah! Yeah!

Are you ok?

What happened, why didn't you fight?

Hey where are you going?

Come on, where you going?

Anyone there?

Linderman?

Hi. Yes. Is Ricky home?

No. Who are you?

I'm a friend of his from school.

Well he was supposed to be home hours ago. Do you know where he could be?

No. Uh listen, what's your name?

Clifford. Clifford, uh if you see him,

tell him I'm worried and he should get home, OK?

Ok.

Hey.

How'd you get up here?

I need some money.

Where were you? I was looked everywhere for you.

You got any money Cliff?

Come on. Give me some money.

Six bucks is all I got.

Thanks Cliff. You're a good kid. Oh that's great.

"Give me money. Thanks, bye." That's real class.

Where are you going?

Linderman!

Linderman!

Wait up!

Linderman!

Linderman.

Wait up, damn it!

Slow down, will ya? Go home Clifford.

You got a nice place, a nice family. Just leave me alone.

It's the fight isn't it? I couldn't fight, so what?

I never wanted to be anyone's damn bodyguard anyway. I told you that.

It's on account of your brother.

You can't fight because of what happened to your brother.

That's it, isn't it? What do you know?

It's a lousy excuse is what I know. It's nothing Linderman.

Shut up!

You haven't talked to anybody for more than a year.

You walk like an ape for nothing. Shut up Clifford!

You build a bike to run away for no reason, to go nowhere.

And then let some jerks throw it into the lake. Shut up!

All because of something you had nothing to do with.

I mean, anybody could've found your brother. It just happened to be you, that's all.

Shut up, I didn't find him!

I killed him!

I shot him!

Jesus.

We were home alone.

We were playing with my dad's gun.

I was showing off, showing off you know, like a goddamn fool.

He said let me hold it and I said no...

No, you're not allowed to and he got mad and he grabbed it.

And it fired.

My God I was laughing, I was laughing when it went off.

Blood gushed out of the side of his head and he didn't even know it.

You know what he was worried about?

He was afraid that when dad got home he'd get spanked.

The last thing he said to me...

He said, "you're gonna have to take the blame for this one."

I couldn't even do that right.

I lied. I put the gun in his hand and I said I found him that way.

Damn it.

I never told anyone before.

Shhh--

It wasn't your fault. You didn't mean for it to happen.

I'm sorry Clifford. I know you mean well.

I let everybody down. It's the way I am.

Go home Clifford.

Hey.

Where's the funeral?

Oh it can't be that bad.

It's worse than ever.

They took my bus fare...

They flushed my lunch down the john.

They called my mother names I never even heard of.

I'm gonna quit school. I'll never graduate anyway.

Where ya going? Home I guess.

Well come on. I'll buy you both a drink.

He might have tried to call or something. He'll be back.

He just needs time to think. Hope you're right.

I am, I'm always right. See that's the thing you're gonna learn about me.

And someday you'll come to me and you'll say, "Shelley, Shelley darling you're always right."

Hey look. Over there. It's Linderman.

Did you get that thing outta there yourself?

I know, dumb question.

I was really scared.

I can cheat, can't I?

It's only a game. Go ahead.

Hey, where'd you guys find my bike? What have you been fishing?

Oh no.

Thanks, I'll take it now.

Hey Mike.

Moody, you're a real bastard.

Linderman, you picking on Moody again? Huh?

You're really beginning to annoy me. Look...

Just don't give us any trouble. Enough is enough alright? Get out!

Linderman, you got three seconds to make your split.

Now get.

Uh-uh.

Without the bike.

It's Moody's now.

One...

Two... I tell you some guys never learn.

Ok. Take it.

Yahhhh!

Get him Mike!

Get off him Mike!

Ok. Ok.

Come on Mike.

Come on.

Come on Ricky, come on!

Damn you Moody!

Get off!

Moody!

Get up, get up.

Slow down, slow down.

Cover up.

Come on man.

Get him.

Come on, get him!

Get him!

Come on, hit him kid!

Come on, you want your ass kicked? Come on!

Come on you faggot. Come on wimp.

Go for his nose.

Thanks. You're a wonderful human being, you know that?

What do you need your damn bodyguard? Come on!

Get him.

Clifford, get him in the nose.

Oh, my nose.

You broke my nose.

I really think I broke his nose.

You broke my nose.

You did do it.

So did you.

It looks better that way.

Oh, my nose man!

Hey Moody!

All right.

Way to go.

Real impressive fight...

You're no friend.

What do you expect for 10 bucks?

Ok. All right. Gross!

Ugh, don't touch me.

Hey can I ask you a question? Yeah sure.

I had this idea. You're a pretty good fighter back there.

I was wondering, would you like to be my bodyguard?

I could pay you 50 cents a day.

I can do your homework for you. I'm pretty smart.

Not interested.

Anyway, a buck a day. A buck a day?

Buck a day. Inflation buddy.

Inflation? Yeah.

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute...
