[DOOR CLOSES]

RYKER: Come in!

You're early.

Love the assignment so much I could hardly wait.

Now, look, R.C., uh--

Officer Taylor, if you don't mind.

They want it by the book, that's how it'll be, Lt. Ryker.

Officer Taylor.

That's the way you want it.

Nothing about this is the way I want it.

Nothing I can do about it now, so let's get to it, lieutenant.

Who do I ride with?

[♪♪♪]

Just crossed Garvey.

So?

It's out of our precinct.

Well, just thought I'd run in here and look around.

See how they're getting along without me.

Dumb broad.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Well, if it isn't Officer Taylor.

Okay, Cindy, night work's over.

Take a hike. Back to the pad.

Heard they shuffled you out of here, Taylor.

Move it. Now!

You don't have no right to tell me where to go.

Any more lip out of you, and I'll find enough right

to throw you in the can for a week.

Now move it.

Starting countdown.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One and blastoff.

I think that's called rousting a citizen, isn't it?

Some people call it that.

I call it getting the garbage off the sidewalk.

There's no legal justification for it.

Then report it.

Maybe I will.

And I'll deny it.

And I've been on the force nearly 20 years.

Now which way do you think they'll lean, Webster?

You don't know very much about me, Webster, but--

I know that you were the first black officer

ever hired by the department.

And...I was looking forward to working with you.

Was? That's right.

Well, I don't share that with you, rookie.

Didn't look forward to working with you.

I got this assignment because some shiny badge upstairs

felt R.C. Taylor was coming down too tough

on the sweet citizens, like that bimbo, Cindy.

I think you're supposed to help me see the light.

Our precinct is back that way, Officer Taylor.

[♪♪♪]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[GLASS BREAKS]

It's a big heap of nothin', Webster.

Worse than when I joined up.

Place is worse and the people no better.

Well, what can you expect?

They're mostly black, after all.

Yeah, well, all I know is I had

guts and brains enough to get out.

No, man, you never got out.

You come back every night to lean on people,

and show how superior you are to everything and everyone.

Hold it.

[♪♪♪]

WEBSTER: Looks like a flashlight.

Call in a possible 459 in progress.

Take the alley. I'll take the front.

This is Ludlow Nine.

We have a possible 459 in progress at Commonwealth.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

Police.

I know you're in here. Come out with your hands up.

Halt!

Halt!

Put it away, Taylor. He's just a kid.

All right. Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Put it down. Ease it down. That's it.

Don't want to hurt you.

Easy. Easy.

That's it. That's it.

That's it.

Who else was in that store with you? Come on.

Taylor, I haven't given him his rights yet.

You don't give people rights, man. They earn 'em.

WEBSTER: You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed.

Do you understand what I just said to you?

I understand. Does he?

[♪♪♪]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Did you get it?

Hey.

[SIGHS] Rainbow heaven.

Was there any trouble?

I don't know.

I think--

I think somebody saw me.

Who?

Black kid. In the alley.

I'm pretty sure he saw me.

Oh.

BOY: I saw this guy come out,

and, uh, I figured he'd already ripped the place off

on account of the way it looked.

You know?

But you did break in, Mark.

Whether or not somebody was in there ahead of you

has nothing to do with it.

You mean, you believe what he's handing out?

What I do and what I don't believe

has nothing to do with it, officer.

What we're concerned about is what happens to Mark.

You gonna send him to the reform school?

No, I don't think so.

Your son has been in some scrapes.

Most of it looks to be relatively minor.

Might send him to camp though. What kind of camp?

Oh, it's just a camp up near Sand Lake.

Place where kids can get rid of some pressure.

We get to know them,

they get to know a little about us.

Oh, boy, that's terrific.

He burglarizes a store, you send him to camp.

If he'd killed someone, I suppose you'd give him

two weeks in Hawaii.

All yours, Webster. Too thick in here for me.

What about it, Mrs. Culpepper?

Can you have Mark here Friday

to leave for camp Friday morning?

He'll be here. You can count on it.

Good. We'll see you then. Around 10:00.

Uh, what about it, Mark?

Uh, will we see you Friday at 10?

She said so.

Ahem. You didn't.

Friday around 10.

I'll be here.

He will be here.

Good night, officer.

Webster, this camp, you know,

we staff it with police personnel.

Yes, sir, I've heard.

Mike Danko is signed up for this weekend.

His wife is coming along to make sure

everyone gets their flu shots.

I was wondering if you and your partner

might like to donate some time this weekend.

I'd love to, lieutenant,

and I bet that Willie would too.

I wasn't talking about Gillis, Officer Webster.

I meant your new partner.

[♪♪♪]

Well, what about it, Mr. Maxwell?

Is that everything that was taken?

I'm not sure.

Give me another minute.

You say you caught him?

Another unit did, sir.

Right outside the back door.

Uh-huh. What's his name?

Oh, we're not allowed to tell you that, sir.

He's a juvenile.

The department has decided not to seek petition for trial.

What?

After he stole all these things?

GILLIS: Mr. Maxwell, all

those things were recovered.

We would prefer to help him. And sending him to jail

or reform school isn't likely to do that.

Uh-huh.

DANKO: Uh, what do you say?

Is that, uh, everything?

Let me check with the bookkeeper.

He knows my inventory better than I do.

I'll be right back.

I don't get the feeling he's on our side.

Yeah, me either.

Now, if we can get that kid a life sentence,

he'd probably love us. Yeah.

They didn't find the record player.

The kid must have ditched it before they put the arm on him.

[SIGHS] And if we don't find out

where the kid put the stuff,

we're in very big trouble, Donald.

Maybe the cops took it. They'll do that.

No, no. Not this way.

It's the kid who knows where the pills are.

Where is he now?

I don't know where he is.

I don't know who he is, but I can tell you what he is, Donald.

He's the thing that can get us killed.

I promised to deliver that stuff Monday.

And if I don't deliver, we're dead.

I'll find out who he is, Mr. Maxwell.

[♪♪♪]

I wanna get him just as much as you do.

Believe me.

Do you realize this is the first time in almost a year

we've been able to get out of town for a full weekend?

Too bad not all of us get to go.

Well, somebody's gotta fight crime in the city.

Thanks. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Besides, uh, we don't get

extra pay for this, you know.

Well, don't blame me. I voted for the police-bond issue.

Not my fault it didn't pass. Gillis!

BOY: Excuse me, please.

Yes, sir. What can we do for you?

Um, my name's Dennis Palmer,

and I'm supposed to go

to this camp this weekend.

It looks like you didn't get your bags loaded

with the rest of 'em. No, sir, I didn't.

Well, there you go, Mr. Palmer.

I think you can consider your luggage loaded.

JILL: Do you know how

to get to the bus, Dennis?

No, ma'am.

Well, you come on with me then.

We'll get lost together. We'll see you guys out there.

Oh. Willie...

don't forget to water the plants.

You got it.

You know, that's a big responsibility,

but I think I can handle it.

Well, let's get this thing going, huh?

Oh.

Hey. Uh, uh-oh.

[GILLIS BLOWS RASPBERRY]

That's a bad omen, gentlemen. If I were you, I'd stay home.

Well, you ain't us, and we ain't staying.

The--

[♪♪♪]

DANKO: That Palmer kid's

looking for trouble.

Oh, boy.

Tell you one thing.

This is no vacation we're going on.

I reported here because it still meant street duty.

Nobody talked about nursing junior hoods at a summer camp.

You reported here because you're a policeman.

The same reason you'll go to the camp.

Oh, Eddie, I'm no shrink.

I thought it was lieutenant and an officer

between you and me.

Oh, Eddie. Eddie.

Now, we go back too far for this to happen.

Come on, get me out of it. I'm asking you as a favor.

Why? Because I don't believe

in any of the stuff they do up there.

And if I don't believe in it, I won't be any good.

I won't be able to help those kids. That's the whole point.

That's half the point.

And what's the other half?

Find out how many policemen can be helped.

It's a two-way street.

All this because I say that kid's lying

about someone else being in the record shop.

Not really.

But I think you might be interested to know

the lab says there may have been two points of entry.

The back window Culpepper broke,

plus evidence the front door was jimmied.

That's what they think. Not what I think.

Pack your bag. Your bus leaves at 10.

And one more thing. What?

Next time you put a fist on my desk,

make sure there's a badge in that fist.

[CLOSES DRAWER]

'Cause that's the only way you will

get away with it next time.

Hello.

I got the kid's name, Mr. Pierce.

What is it?

Oh, no. No, no.

That's not our deal.

I give it to you over the phone, you might not be good to me.

I know you want to be good to me, don't you, Mr. Pierce?

My place. Eight o'clock tonight.

See you then.

[ALL CHATTERING]

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

There you go.

Hey, where you going?

Girls' cabin.

That's the way they usually

do these things, as I recall.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah. Okay.

See you later.

[KIDS CHATTERING]

Oh, Ryker said there'd be, uh...

sacrifices to being a cop,

but he left that one out.

[LAUGHS] Well, don't let it

get you down.

I hear that we'll be too busy to notice.

DANKO Come on, guys.

Let's get right in here.

Whoa! Hey. Ball one.

[ALL CHATTERING]

Ohh!

[KIDS YELLING]

Don't wanna scare you, but you look like you're enjoying this.

Yeah, well, don't kid yourself. I'm just here because--

Well... [CHUCKLES]

All right, come on. Let's go.

[CLAPS] Whoo!

All right, come on. Come on.

Let's get this one out.

Oh, that was a strike.

Whoo! [CLAPS]

Come on. He can't hit it.

Okay, come on. Come on.

Oh, hey. Come on, send it home.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Home.

Run it home!

[KIDS YELLING]

Oh!

Run it home.

Home!

[CHEERING STOPS]

[♪♪♪]

Oh, I think my curve ball's

seen better days.

You'll come back, tiger. I got faith in you.

Yeah?

Hey, Mike, what are we gonna do about the stuff

we found in the kid's suitcase, huh?

Didn't you keep it?

No.

He just would've thought we went through the luggage.

Wouldn't have accomplished anything.

[SIGHS]

Doesn't look the type, does he?

I mean, I know there's no type,

but, um...

he doesn't look like he'd be smoking grass.

Tell you what, I'll let you know.

See you in a minute.

He doesn't waste much time, does he?

Hey, that was a nice hit, man. Thanks.

Hi.

Hi.

How you doing?

Okay, I guess. Why?

Well, I--

I wanted to tell you, your suitcase dropped

off the luggage rack when we were loading it.

Popped open and...

we put everything back.

Everything?

That's what I said.

I just wanted you to know.

Hey. Thanks.

Yeah.

Uh, look,

I'd say you better get yourself a new suitcase.

Either that or...

maybe not put so much junk into it,

for your own sake.

Huh?

[♪♪♪]

How's the foot?

It's all right. I'm fine.

I'm glad it happened.

How do you mean?

Ah, keep me out of those dippy singsongs and...

modeling clay and kickball,

and...all that tough stuff, you know?

Is, uh-- Is that what a cop's about?

Being tough?

I got that little punk back, didn't I?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you got him back.

Nice throw.

I don't know what he, uh...

feels about us, but...

nice throw.

Oh, I already know what he feels about me.

Traitor to the race.

Just like you feel.

No, that's not how I feel.

Oh, come on. Don't give me that, Webster.

They all feel that way about me.

They had me transferred

because I was tougher and came down harder on them

than any white cop ever did.

And if I hadn't, heh,

they'd have booted my can into the swamp and said,

"See? See? Black guy can't cut it."

And that would have closed the door on you...

and every other black cop that's come along since me.

One question. Uh-huh?

You say, tougher...

on "them."

Came down harder on "them." Who is "them"?

People who live there.

Mostly black, right? Uh-huh.

Brothers, right?

Uh-huh.

Well, tell me, Officer Taylor...

what did we gain...

by a black cop

who comes down harder and is tougher

than any white cop around.

What did we gain?

[♪♪♪]

Mm.

What did we gain?

We gained a black cop like you, Webster.

That's what we gained.

And it took a guy like me to do it.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Donald?

Donald, there's no other way.

Mr. Pierce. Come on in.

Okay.

Where is it?

PIERCE: What's the kid's name?

Where is he?

JANITOR: Well, his name I know.

But all it said in the booking officer's report

was...that he was under the Juvenile Authority.

And that stuff is downtown.

But his name is Mark Culpepper.

Cul-- Culpepper.

Culpepper.

Okay?

You wait here. I'll get the stuff.

Hi.

Your, uh-- Your boyfriend...

sure wants to get ahold of that kid pretty badly.

[CHUCKLES]

What's the matter, he got something on you?

No, they're just old friends.

Donald just wants to reminisce with him.

[LAUGHING] Oh, yeah.

Sure.

Say...you sick?

You got a cold?

No.

It's just that sometimes I get...

really faint

at the sight of blood.

[CHUCKLES]

[CLICKS ON]

[FUNK MUSIC PLAYING]

[GROANING]

[BODY HITS FLOOR]

You feel all right?

I don't feel faint at all. Not one little bit.

[♪♪♪]

[MOUTHING WORDS]

Gillis, you and Danko questioned the owner of that record store

that got busted into, didn't you?

Yes, sir. Anything out of line?

Well, didn't seem to be.

Owner wasn't happy about not preferring charges

against Culpepper, but no big deal about it.

Well, it still doesn't fit.

The lab says the jimmy marks on the front door

were made from the inside.

Well, what do you make of that?

Beats me. But that place is starting to develop

a reputation as being a meeting place for users.

Meet me here at 8:00 in the morning. We'll stop by,

we'll talk to that man again. Okay.

Um, lieutenant, I'm on duty here till 4.

All right. Make it-- Make it, uh, 8:15.

WOMAN: Pardon me.

Are you, uh, Mrs. Culpepper?

Uh. I most assuredly am.

I'm Miss Hubbard, Mrs. Culpepper.

I work for the Youth Authority.

I'm really sorry to trouble you so late,

but I need some information on your son, Mark.

Do you think you could...

help me?

Miss Hubbard, I'll be glad to help you

do anything to help my boy.

Oh, won't you come in, please.

Yes.

[ALL CHEERING]

Hi, Dennis.

You wanna take some movies for me?

I don't know how to work one of those.

That doesn't make a difference. I don't know how either. Look.

Look right through here.

Point it at Mike, okay.

Okay, push this button. Okay. Rotate. Come on.

Now I'll zoom in. Michael!

Hey, how you doing, Dennis?

Okay? Yeah. Uh.

[CHUCKLES]

[♪♪♪]

JILL: Mike.

Wait up.

DANKO: How you doing?

DENNIS: Do you think...

when we get back to town...

you and me could get together sometimes?

Well, throw the ball around.

Stuff like that?

I suppose so.

Maybe what you ought to do

is join one of those leagues there.

Ought to be plenty of 'em around there where you live.

Yeah.

I guess there are.

It's...not just throwing the ball around.

Having someone to talk to.

A guy, I mean. Guy older than me.

Yeah, I think I can squeeze some time out

to throw the ball around with you, Dennis.

Wait. You stay there.

I'll take your picture. Okay.

Uh, how's this? [JILL SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

Yeah.

JILL: Woo-hoo.

Yeah. Is my horse smiling?

Well, you can move around. Isn't that a moving picture?

Oh, hey. [CHUCKLES]

Oh, hi.

Hi.

We got ourselves a little lost.

Can you help us out? Yeah.

Highway's back same way you came.

About a quarter of a mile or so.

Is there anything interesting up that way?

Oh, I'm sorry, that's private property.

That's operated by the police department.

Oh, you mean there's a--

A prison or something up there?

Uh, no, it's a-- It's a camp for kids.

They come on the weekends, get a little fresh air and exercise.

That's all there is to it.

Oh, well, if it's just for the weekend,

we could go up through there after Sunday then.

Yeah, I guess so. Uh...

We'll be gone. I don't suppose anybody would mind.

PIERCE: Well, thank you

very much.

Have a good weekend with the kids.

Okay. Guess they got you outnumbered?

Yeah, about ten to one.

That's why we can only do it on the weekend.

Thank you. So long.

Take care. You bet.

Okay, buddy.

Let's see if we can get that guy

from the police lab to develop that brilliant film of yours.

You called me "buddy."

Are we buddies?

Sure. One plus one?

You got it. One plus one.

Come on. Hey.

[♪♪♪]

RYKER: No, Gillis,

he was telling the truth.

I'd stake my life on it.

How could he tell us the truth, when he didn't tell us anything.

He didn't say anything to us out loud,

but the look on his face when I told him

the door was jimmied from the inside,

that's what you call a real loud look.

Excuse me, please.

Sgt. Ryker, uh,

may I speak to you a minute, please?

Oh, Mrs. Culpepper. Of course.

Sure. Come on in. Have a seat.

Thank you. Come on in.

What can I do for you, ma'am?

Well, I don't know if I should even be troubling you with this.

I mean, maybe I--

I-- I'm being silly.

Well, maybe so, maybe not.

Let us be the judge of that.

Well, last night, when I got home,

there was a girl waiting for me.

A Miss Hubbard. Said she worked with the Youth Authority.

Maybe you know her.

No. But that doesn't mean anything.

It's a pretty large department.

Well, she said she was there to check on Mark,

and I told her Mark wasn't home.

That he was at the camp...

that you folks run up there for the weekend.

Uh--

But she didn't seem to know about it.

Maybe there was a slip-up. She just never got the word.

Then there was her eyes.

Ma'am. What about her eyes?

Well...

I know young folks don't do

like they did when I was a girl...

but she had eyelashes on.

Fake eyelashes, out to here.

Looked like two upside-down rakes.

Now, does the city hire those type of girls

to work with the Youth Authority?

[♪♪♪]

Gillis, call the Youth Authority.

Find out if they got a female on the staff

by the name of Hubbard. Yes, sir.

WOMAN: All right now.

There it is.

What's on fire?

[ALL SPEAKING]

BOY: It's a train. DANKO: Stables.

Now, how does this...

connect with the fire?

[ALL SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

BOY: Probably a pawn shop

or something like that.

Something that went up in the riot.

Rebellion.

Any ideas over here?

Most likely what the kid said.

Riot.

DANKO: Uh, no.

What do you think it was?

Well, uh, I don't know.

Maybe you don't want me to say.

I-- I mean, I know what it is. I was there.

TEACHER: No, go ahead.

DANKO: Okay, that's a block party.

That's the opening of the park over on Winston.

That is precisely what it was.

And what you've done,

all of you-- well, most of you

--is assume that because young people

and police were involved, that that had to mean trouble.

WEBSTER: Uh, Miss Reynolds.

You've stacked it, haven't you?

I mean...

you show them the fire...

and...what are they expected to believe?

To think?

What are we supposed to think?

Well, it's not a question of what's expected.

See, all we're trying to do...

is to try to get past some stereotypes,

all of us...

and open a few doors to what's inside.

And one of those stereotypes

is...that youngsters

need to go to bed by 9:00.

That's not true.

But adults do. [LAUGHTER]

So all right,

everybody up the hill to the camp.

[GROANS]

Mark. What?

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[♪♪♪]

JILL: What about the fire?

DANKO: Well, the caretaker will

put it out.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

See you tomorrow, Blaze.

It's all mumbo jumbo, Webster.

Won't change anything or anyone.

Yeah, well, I bet you that kid back there--

WEBSTER: Mark?

Mark?

Mark?

[WHIMPERING]

[♪♪♪]

Mark?

Mark. You around here?

Mark.

Mark. Mark.

Mark.

Hey-- All right, what are you doing? Trying to run away? Huh?

I saw the man who was in the record store.

Come on, son. Don't you never get tired of lying?

Now, listen here. I spent 20 years

trying to build this drugstore

into a place where people like to do business,

and they don't like you kids and your gangs

hanging around out in front.

Well, where are we supposed to go?

There's no place in this stinking neighborhood

where we can have any fun.

And it's not a gang.

I don't care what it is.

Just so long as it's not in front of my store.

Oh, you don't want us in front of your store,

but you don't mind hustling pills

at the school now, do you?

ALL: Yeah.

Is that true, Linda?

Does he push pills in school?

Well, I can't say for sure,

but a lot of the kids say that he does.

Well, have you ever considered taking it to the police?

DENNIS: Police wouldn't do nothing.

They're all on the take.

Oh, they are, huh?

Well, then, uh,

how come I still owe on my car and my TV,

if all cops are on the take?

Well, I didn't mean you. I meant--

TAYLOR: Yeah, you meant him.

You meant all of us.

We're all no good, and we all cheat and we all lie.

And that's how you read us. And that's how we'll be.

WEBSTER: How about how you read them.

I mean...

as far as you're concerned...

they all lie.

They all cheat.

Mm. Maybe not all of 'em.

Why didn't you believe what Mark said?

You mean the man in the woods with a gun?

Oh, come on, Webster. You don't swallow that.

WEBSTER: Yeah, but whether you

believe him or not,

at least you could have investigated.

TAYLOR: I did.

I looked around. There was nobody there.

WEBSTER: The way you looked around was...

Mike.

...like what you were looking for didn't exist.

It didn't. The kid was taking off, I tell you.

How do you know?

How do you think you'd feel if you were Mark?

Suppose...

Suppose he was telling the truth?

That there was some guy in the woods.

And he comes to you, a police officer.

You call him a liar.

How do you think that goes down?

Mike? What?

The movies came back from the police lab today.

I want you to see 'em. I can't leave--

Hey, come on. Listen, listen.

There's something wrong with 'em.

What? What could be wrong?

Mike, look, just humor me, okay, and look at 'em.

There's something in there I think you should see.

Ah, forget it. That's kid stuff.

It's for people who...

have something to learn.

And that's them. And that's us.

I know all I need to know about these kids.

But maybe you don't know everything you need to know

about you, and that's the point.

I know I put in almost 20 years,

and I can tell when some fuzzy-cheeked kid is lying.

Hey, man. I don't need this.

He wouldn't believe me if I told him that grass was green.

The kind of grass you know about ain't green!

Hey, Mark.

Mark!

You said I was supposed to enter into the discussion.

I entered.

Okay, stand closer

so you can see better.

Oh, look, baby, this is all nice, but--

Just watch.

Okay, right there. Did you see it?

[STOPS PROJECTOR]

I saw the guy button his coat, but I--

Wait a minute. Let me run it backwards for you.

[CLICKS]

Okay. Now watch.

Okay. Right...

there.

He's got a gun.

[♪♪♪]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Yeah, well, every time the littlest thing goes wrong,

a cop starts reaching for his gun.

That's 'cause nearly a hundred of 'em

lost their lives in the line of duty last year.

And that makes a man a little bit twitchy, young lady.

Then why do we have to pay the price of that?

No. you're not paying the price.

The price was paid by all those dead cops.

Webster, where is Mark Culpepper?

I don't know, lieutenant. He left.

He...could be in his cabin.

Why? Is he wanted for something heavier

than the record-shop deal?

RYKER: Looks like he's wanted,

but not by us.

Way things are starting to fit,

looks like somebody's on their way here to try to shut him up.

He said last night that somebody

tried to get him in the woods.

RYKER: He said that?

Nobody did anything about it?

Nobody tried to find the man?

It's a man and a woman we want, lieutenant.

Man and woman sounds like it, according to what we've learned.

Now the only question is, where is the boy?

[♪♪♪]

Mister...

I ain't gonna tell anybody

I saw you in the record store.

That's right, kid. You sure ain't.

This way.

He's not in there.

Not here. Haven't seen him.

All right, now the three of you

know the terrain around here.

Cover any path that looks like a logical route

through the woods to the highway.

We'll take the car, we'll block the road. Go.

[♪♪♪]

Nothing. Let's get in the car.

Mark?

Mark?

Mark?

You go that way. I'll try up the hill.

[♪♪♪]

DANKO: Mark?

[♪♪♪]

Police. Halt.

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOT] Police. Halt.

[GRUNTS]

Is he all right?

Yeah. He'll be all right.

[♪♪♪]

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Was I speeding?

MARK: This is the one. WEBSTER: That's the one. Okay.

Why don't you take it with you? Well, guess I better be going.

Guess you better be going.

See you.

Mark?

Anybody meeting you? Excuse me.

My mom's working.

I'll probably take the bus.

Well, I'm, uh...

I'll be finished here in a few minutes. If you want a ride,

I'll-- It's a long drive.

Longer bus drive.

JILL: Bye-bye.

Bye.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

You got everything, Dennis?

Yeah. Except...

[♪♪♪]

I gotta give you a present. DANKO: Present?

Well, you didn't need to do that, Dennis.

But it's a present you can't keep.

Gotta promise to throw it away.

[GASPS]

It's a good present, Dennis.

We appreciate that.

[SOBBING]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Little boy just came running out of here crying.

How come?

Oh. Because, uh...

he's not a little boy anymore.
