MAN:
It begins here for me on this road.

How the whole mess happened,
I don't know.

But I know it couldn't happen again
in a million years.

Maybe I could have stopped it early.

But once the trouble was on its way,
I was just going with it.

Mostly I remember the girl.

I can't explain it,
sad chick like that.

But something changed in me.
She got to me.

But that's later, anyway.
This is where it begins for me.

Right on this road.

[MAN 1 & MAN 2
SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

MAN 1: Come on, get
off the track!

Yap-yap-yap. Ah...

MAN 1: What are you doing? Get over there!
Come on, all of you!

ANNOUNCER: Now they're approaching
the turn for the last lap.

Let's see, Riley and some...

Uh, Hillman taking a tumble. And Jones
doing very well to avoid him too.

This is the final lap coming up
and still anybody's race.

Uh-oh, that's Conners in the hay.
It's a bad break for Charlie Conners.

[ANNOUNCER
SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

And they'll go into the last lap.
Last time around coming up.

They're all hot today.
It's anybody's race.

They're in that order now,
but anything can happen.

...maybe a record...

[ANNOUNCER SPEAKS
INDISTINCTLY]

Come on, Al! Come on!
Come on! Thattaboy! Come on!

[TYRES SCREECHING]

Hey, get off the track!
Get off the track.

ANNOUNCER:
Please don't cross the track.

[IMITATING ANNOUNCER] Please don't
cross the track. Don't get hurt.

Blood makes everything slippery.
Ha-ha-ha!

What's the matter
with you chowderheads?

You in such a big hurry to die?

[CHATTERING]

Those words mean anything to you,
squirrels? Are you looking for trouble?

These outlaw outfits always want to
foul things up for everybody else.

Hey, what kind of outfits?
Say that again.

Outlaw outfits, like yours.

Okay, square, right now.

You want to drag Johnny here
100 yards for beers, or you chicken?

[CHUCKLES]

Ah, the square's chicken.

They're all chicken.

You want to see something?
You wanna see Johnny go?

He can really go.
He can really screw it on.

[IMITATES MOTORCYCLE
REVVING]

What do you get when you win
one of these scrambles? $5000?

Boy, I'd sure like
to win me $5000.

Hey, you dummy, come here.

If you win, they give you one
of these beautiful gold statues.

- Solid gold.
- Pure solid gold. Dipped.

REBEL 1: What do you do with it?
REBEL 2: Take it home to your mother.

Yeah, then you throw it away.

Break it up, break it up.
Come on, put these trophies back.

All of you, stand back.

Hey, where can I get me
one of these jazzy suits?

I want to look like
a street cleaner too.

[REBELS LAUGHING]

Hey, who are you? What are you doing here?
You a cop or something?

- Huh?
REBEL 3: Come on.

- Don't push anybody.
- Okay, okay, break it up.

We got enough entertainment
around here.

I've seen enough of you guys
to last me forever.

Now, hit the road.
I mean right now. Get going.

We want to watch
the thrilling races, daddy.

One more cute remark and you
won't be riding any cycles.

I'll put the bunch of you
away for a month.

Now, get going.

Hey, fellas, come here.
Look what Johnny won.

Hey, what's the matter
with you? Second place?

So Johnny only won
second place, huh?

What do you mean?
First place was two feet high.

[REBELS LAUGH]

Hey, Johnny, look.

These squares are having a dance in
Carbonville tonight. We'll go, huh?

- No, man. That's nowhere.
- Ah, come on. We can clobber it.

Come on, Johnny.
Let's go someplace.

Let's get out of here. Every time
you look around, there's cops.

All right, let's get rolling.

This way.

[ENGINES STARTING]

- Where's that bunch from?
- I don't know, everywhere.

I don't even think
they know where they're going.

Termites. Nutty.

Ten guys like that give people the idea
everybody that drives a motorcycle is crazy.

What are they trying to prove?

Beats me. Looking for somebody
to push them around

so they can get sore
and show how tough they are.

They usually find it someplace,
sooner or later.

[###]

- Hey, Johnny, where are we going?
- Let's get gas.

REBEL 1: Yeah, give us some gas!
REBEL 2: Hey, gas man.

Ben, business before pleasure.

[HORNS HONKING]

Jimmy, better put
some more beer on ice.

What is this joint? What war do you
suppose this joint was left over from?

Hey, fellas, drag for beers.
Who wants to drag for beers?

Last guy in the door
of that joint buys beers.

Last guy in buys.

[ENGINES REVVING]

[TYRES SCREECHING]

[ALL CLAMOURING]

- Hey, who is it? Who is it?
- Art, you all right? It's Art Kleiner.

Come on.

- Hey, help this man out!
REBEL: Hey, help this man out!

[REBELS SHOUTING

REBELS [CHANTING]:
Help the man out! Help the man out!

Put me down! Put me down!

REBELS:
Help the man out! Help the man out!

[REBELS CONTINUE CHANTING]

- What is all this?
- We're just dragging for beers.

Vroom, vroom!

And this guy:
Blub-blub-blub. Voom!

- He doesn't know how to drive.
- Yeah.

There's a boy hurt here.

It's his ankle.
Looks pretty bad.

What's all that, Kathy? What's all that?
Somebody killed?

Hey, Crazy,
you can't sleep in the street.

Man, look at this cycle. You
really stacked up this thing.

HARRY: I'll call Dr. Ziegler. Get
your pickup, we'll take him over.

Harry, you seen
how it happened.

Those motorcycles
were coming straight at me.

I swung my wheel over as hard as I
could, but they... Take a look at that.

- What about this, Harry?
- It was an accident. I saw it.

Mark got excited, that's all.

ART: Aren't you gonna arrest anybody?
HARRY: Take it easy, Art. Take it easy.

MARK: I'm not excited. I'm just
telling you what happened.

I tried to miss him,
then he hit me.

My car's a wreck and somebody has
to pay for the damages, and I mean it.

Okay. You the big cop
in the town?

Next time, tell him to look where he's
going. He don't know how to drive.

I mean, he ought to turn one way
or the other. You know what I mean?

There was guys all over the street
trying to miss him.

- Now, just a minute...
- He's all right, but my boy's busted up.

- Look here, Harry...
- Forget it, Art. Forget it.

MOUSE: Some cop, huh?
REBEL: See Johnny back him down?

Yeah. What a screwball town. Heh.

Art Kleiner's too old
to be driving an automobile. Heh.

Where was he going, anyway?

Always going someplace.
Crazy, excited.

Taking a lot of vitamin pills,
drinking. Over-stimulated.

[CHUCKLES]

Ought to arrest
the whole lot of them.

Ah, call the militia.

[WHISTLING]

[HUMMING]

- Do you want something?
- Yeah. I'd like a bottle of beer.

- The beer's just in the bar.
- Oh. Alrighty.

[CONTINUES HUMMING]

[JAZZ MUSIC
PLAYING ON JUKEBOX]

Why, thank you.

[CHATTERING]

Aw, look, Harry.
The fender's scraping in the tyre.

Wait a minute.

There you are. It won't scrape no more.
Good as the rest of them.

Oh, no. Harry, aren't you
gonna do something about this?

- Well, what do you expect me...?
- What do you want Harry to do?

Arrest all these boys? All 30 or 40
of them and whatever there is?

It's the principle. You let something
like this go by and anything goes.

- That's right. Make your complaint, Art.
- I sure will.

That's silly. Your car
is okay, you're okay.

And it's lucky,
the way you drive.

[ALL LAUGH]

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

- Say, you live here all the time?
- All my life.

Zow.

We've been over to Carbonville,
at the meet.

Bunch of motorcycles came
through this way yesterday.

They didn't stop. Is that what they give
you in those races for killing yourself?

That's right.

You want it?

- No.
- Well, go on, take it. Go ahead.

- No.
- Go on.

You can't do that. You won it.

You have to get your name engraved
on it, whatever you do. It's important.

You don't give something
like that away just like that.

Not unless you knew a girl real well
and you liked her.

PIGEON: Hey, Johnny.
- Yo.

About this town,
they've got a doc here.

They'll rewire Crazy. What are we gonna do?
Sit around and scratch ourselves?

Are we gonna wait for Crazy, or are
we gonna get out of this dump?

We're gonna wait for Crazy.

[REBELS SHOUTING
AND LAUGHING]

REBEL:
Go.

Go, go.

Hey, you guys! Johnny says we're
gonna hang around and wait for Crazy.

They're gonna fix him up.

- What do we do here?
- Give me a swig of this, will you?

Don't fight, boys. Plenty more where this
came from. It's ice-cold too. Ha, ha.

- Hey, doc.
- Yeah.

Hey, where do we eat?

Right there. Bleeker's Cafe.
We'll take good care of you.

- You got some steaks?
- Kansas City steaks?

- Well, we serve good meat.
- Uh-huh.

- Um, where's the motel?
- The hotel is right over there.

Hey, they've got a hotel here.

[ALL LAUGH]

- Hey, come on, lead me to that brew.
- Hey, check the hot rod.

[ENGINE SPUTTERING

Hey, the fire went out!

How are you doing, blondie?

Hey, baby.
Where you going?

Psst. Psst.

[REBELS WHISTLE]

[CHATTERING]

REBEL 1:
Well, look who's here.

FRANK: What'll you have, girls?
- Yeah, what'll it be, girls?

- The usual.
FRANK: The usual. All right, one minute.

- And hit us with a couple of beers.
- Jimmy, put a couple more cases on ice.

Kathy said you wanted
some glasses.

That was an hour ago.
Never mind. I'll do it myself.

- Take over here, will you, Jimmy?
REBEL 2: Come on, Jimmy!

I'm dying of thirst.
I'm dying of thirst.

Please stop mumbling.

Jimmy, what do you hicks
do around here for kicks?

DINKY:
What time is it?

Hey, what do you do around
here? Anything ever happen?

- Oh, yes.
- Like what?

- Roses grow.
MOUSE: Oh, roses grow.

- People get married.
- Married.

JIMMY:
Crazy as any place else.

Bugs get on them,
cause trouble sometimes,

- that is, if you don't spray good.
- Yeah.

- There's no bugs on you, Jim?
- I mind my own business.

REBEL 3:
That's the way to be, Jim.

I listen to the radio.
Music, that is.

News is no good, excites people.

- Hey, Jim, what about TV? You like TV?
JIMMY: What?

Uh, new thing, Jim.
Television.

- Oh, pictures.
PIGEON: Yeah.

No, no pictures.
Everything these days is pictures.

Pictures and a lot of noise.

Nobody even knows how to talk,
just grunt at each other.

[JOHNNY SCATTING]

[WHIMPERS]

- Where you been?
- Working.

Listen, what's happening later?
What are you gonna do later?

I work.

- You've got to goof off, don't you?
- What?

- You're not gonna work forever, are you?
- It feels like it sometimes.

I'm talking about tonight,
after you finish up?

I have to stay here
as long as we're busy.

[REBELS LAUGHING]

It sounds like we'll be busy
until you leave here.

Where are you going
when you leave here?

Don't you know?

Man, we're just gonna go.

Just trying to make conversation.
It means nothing to me.

On the weekends
we go out and have a ball.

What do you do?
I mean, do you just ride around

or do you go
on some sort of a picnic?

Oh.

A picnic? Man, you are too square.
I have to straighten you out.

Listen, you don't go any one special place.
That's cornball style. You just go.

A bunch gets together after all week,
it builds up. The idea is to have a ball.

If you're gonna stay cool,
you've got to wail.

You've got to put something down.

You got to make some jive.
Know what I'm talking about?

- Yeah, I know what you mean.
- Well, that's all I'm saying.

My father was going to take me
on a fishing trip to Canada once.

Yeah?

- We didn't go.
- Crazy.

[PLAYING JAZZ MUSIC]

Solid.

Hey, pops, give me one of those
crazy beers, will you, man?

- Man, that was real cool.
- Thanks, daddy-o.

That's fine old playing.
We've got to get this beer.

Thank you, pops.

- Bop me, dad.
- I bopped you, dad. Pops, thumb me.

Come on. That's it.
Thumb me.

- Now, give me some skin. Ooze it out.
- Ooze it out.

- Just nice and... Ooze it out.
- Thattaboy, ooze it.

REBEL: Now, elbow us. Just elbow us.
- Pops, do you pick up on this jive?

- What?
- Pick up on this jive? This crazy music.

- Did you dig the rebop?
- What?

- The rebop, dad. The rebop.
- He's a square. Don't you get this?

You take the brew on the side and the
time, and you take this bottle...

[SCATTING]

Drink and...

[BOTH SCATTING]

Go, go, go.

Go, go, go.

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

- How about a dance? Come on.
- How about you? You want to struggle?

- Let's try.
- Thattagirl. Ooh, you're a daring one.

[IMITATES MOTORCYCLE
REVVING]

Hey, can I help you?

Hey, these are keen!
Johnny, get a load of this.

- They're real bells.
- Aren't they cute?

Crazy.

Somebody tell me what that means.
"BRMC." What does it mean?

- Black Rebels Motorcycle Club.
- Isn't that cute?

- Johnny, what are you rebelling against?
- What have you got?

[BOTH LAUGH]

Kathy, aren't they wonderful?
Did you hear what I said?

I said,
"What does 'BRMC' mean?"

He said, "Black Rebels
Motorcycle Club."

I asked, "What are you
rebelling against, Johnny?"

And he said, "What have
you got?" "What have you got?"

What's the matter?
Don't you like to dance?

Well, I don't dance very well.

The squares are having a dance in
Carbonville. You want to make it?

Aren't you Miss...?
Taken about that.

- Oh, my.
- Coffee, please.

Two coffees, please.

- You want to go?
- I can't.

- How come?
- Well, I can't. Besides, it's silly.

- You just came from Carbonville.
- So what? We'll just go back over there.

[REBEL & PIGEON LAUGHING]

Hey.

Hey, you gentlemen
ordered some coffee.

I think you ordered some coffee.
The young lady's waiting for you.

That's a good boy.

What's with him?

You won yourself something, did you?
Well, that's a nice souvenir to have.

Look, Johnny, out there
I think you got me a little wrong.

I got a job to do, but I'm
not hard to get along with.

It's generally just
a misunderstanding,

but looks like anything that might
develop into real trouble...

It can be decided if folks
just sit down and talk it over.

Dad.

Would you like me to fix you
a steak sandwich or...?

No.

Why did you do that for? Why
are you trying to be so rude?

I don't like cops.

Let's get out of here.

Come on.

- Did you get lined up with that chick?
- No, man. Her old man is that itchy cop.

- Let's get out of this town.
- I'd like to get me a cop's daughter.

- Some deal, eh, Dinky?
- Ha-ha-ha.

[MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING]

[CHATTERING]

One beer,
and a sidecar for my friend.

GRINGO: He got his
clutch overhauled.

REBEL: Crazy, how's the foot?
- I got it.

Dig that cat, daddy-o.

[###]

What are you doing tonight? Ay!

Hey, the Rebels are here!
Hey, the Rebels! Come on!

It looks like Johnny's here.

- Come on. Let's get out of here.
- Johnny, this joint's wide open.

- What's the matter? This is a bar.
- Let's get out of here.

No, it's a drag.
Come on.

Hi, sweetheart. What are you doing in
this miserable gully, Johnny, my love?

I love you, Johnny.

I've been looking for you
in every ditch

from Fresno to here,
hoping you was dead.

Chino's giving him the needle, and
your boyfriend don't go for that.

Ah... Ha. Ha-ha-ha.

You've been having yourself
a time, huh, Johnny?

You do look pale. Have you
been taking care of yourself?

You been staying out
too late at night?

That's mine, Chino.
Take it off.

Don't do that.

That's better, Johnny.

I missed you. Ever since
the club split up, I missed you.

- We all missed you. Did you miss him?
BEETLES: Yeah.

The Beetles missed you.
All the Beetles missed you.

Come on, Johnny,
let's go inside, have a beer,

and I'll beat the living
Christmas out of you.

Johnny, for old times' sake.

Aw, don't take that away
from Chino. It's so beautiful.

Chino needs it. It makes Chino
feel like a big, strong man.

Yeah, Chino wants to be
a big racetrack hero. All these girls.

Pow, huh?

I didn't win it. I just gleebed it.

But I gleebed it off a guy
that didn't win it either.

Look, Johnny, you want one?

How about you go gleeb one
someplace for yourself, huh?

[ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

This is the main event.

Ladies and gentlemen...

This lovely young lady
over here

shall hold this beautiful object
signifying absolutely nothing.

Watch closely. See how
the timid maiden of the hill

clutches the gold to her breast.

And see how she fights back a tear while
her hero bleeds to death in the street.

Come on, get up, you big hero.

[ALL CHEERING AND
SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

- What are they fighting about?
- I don't know.

Don't know themselves,
probably.

Stop this. I've seen
hoodlums like this before.

If you don't get tough with them the
minute they get out of line, you're sunk.

You are the cop. If you can't boot these
jerks out, we'll have to bust a few heads.

- That won't help matters.
- Take it easy, Charlie.

Nothing but talk. Talk. I'll see
if everything is all right at home.

Chino, come on, get up, boy.
Don't let him make a fool out of you.

Go get him, Chino. Come on, go get him!
Go get him, Chino!

Johnny, I love you.

[HORN HONKING]

Johnny, how about you and me,
we'll go and have a...

[HONKING CONTINUES]

Shut up! Let's you and me have a beer,
Johnny. Shut up, I said!

- Get out of the way. I want out.
- What's the big idea?

Shut up!

REBEL: You know how to drive?
CHARLIE: Come on, I want out of here.

- You're awful noisy, ain't you?
- Now, look, you get away from me.

- What'd he do? Oh?
- Tried to run Meatball over.

Come on, up and over!

Heave, ho! Heave, ho!

Break it up. Break it up.
Break it up.

- Chief, he tried to run Meatball over.
- Nobody ran anybody over.

He ran his motorcycle
in front of my car.

Yeah? And then I suppose
his cycle crawled

under your front wheel
all by its lone self?

- I want this man arrested.
- He wants me arrested? You hear that?

- He hit me.
- Well, hit me back, you coward. Go on.

All right, quiet! I'm gonna take
you both down and lock you up.

CHINO: Both of us?
HARRY: Yes.

So we can all talk without
everybody yelling. Quiet!

Whether I'll hold anybody or not depends
on just how badly this boy here is hurt.

See, I'm with the chief.

- Are you hurt, man?
- He don't feel a thing.

- Harry.
- What?

- Let me talk to you.
- All right, break it up. Move along.

- Do you know what you're doing?
- Of course I know what I'm doing.

- Let's get these guys out of town.
- Sure. We have to make a living here.

If you arrest Charlie Thomas,
he'll never forgive you.

Well, okay.

- Okay, come on. Come on.
- What about him?

Frogface, dear friend,
we are being parted.

Our love is being
nipped in the bud.

Wait a second. What did this boy
do that frogface didn't do?

Johnny, I want to
talk to you a minute.

I've given you a couple of chances.
I don't know what you're after...

- Chief, let me tell you about Johnny.
- Shut up.

I'm in a spot here.
You can do me a favour.

You take your boys and go on,
and the other bunch too.

- Can I go too, chief?
- Yeah, and he goes too.

I made a deal with a cop once.

CHINO: Let me tell you
about Johnny, daddy-o.

He's okay, but you don't get on his back.
He don't like nobody on his back.

We had the same club once, and the
Beetles got on his back all the time.

He didn't like that.

- Then you don't wanna do what I say?
- Save me, Johnny. I'm going to the can.

- Yes or no?
- I don't make no deal with no cop.

Okay. Come on.

Hey, Johnny, write my mother
a letter and tell her I'm in the can!

Johnny, you gonna let that
phoney cop get away with this.

Hey, write my mother a letter,

tell her to send me a case of beer.
Oh, the shame of it all!

Oh, the shame of it all!

- Let's give this joint the needle.
- What time is it?

Where's that chick
that's got my gold?

She was standing
right over there.

Hi, Johnny.

Thank you.

Hey, Johnny.

Don't you remember?
Britches.

You remember. The last weekend
we went out scrambling.

- Before the club split up.
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.

- How have you been?
- Oh, I'm still swinging.

I didn't know what happened to you.
It's been a year I didn't see you.

- I thought about you.
- I'll see you later, okay?

[JAZZ MUSIC
PLAYING ON JUKEBOX]

Where's my gold?
I'm gonna blow this joint.

Fine. Go someplace else
and cause trouble.

Listen, he put Chino in the can. Why
didn't he put that frogface in the can?

He was afraid of making a mistake.
He's afraid of losing his job.

He's the town joke
and I'm stuck with him.

He hasn't got any business being a cop.
No more than you have with that.

He's a fake, like you.

Well, you've impressed everybody
now, big motorcycle racer.

Take that back so they can give it
to somebody who really won it.

Say what?

Who are you, some girl who
makes sandwiches or something?

Your father wears a hat
says he's a big, important man.

You start telling me
what to do?

Nobody tells me what to do.

You keep needling me, if I want to,
I'm gonna take this joint apart.

You're not gonna know
what hits you.

- Hey, beer.
- Johnny, what's the pitch? We leaving?

Not just yet.

Hello. Hello, hello.

Hello.

- What's the matter? Don't they answer?
- Did you get them?

The phone is dead. Better send
somebody for the militia.

Oh. That's silly. Let me try.
Hello, operator. Operator.

Dorothy.
I guess you're right.

[GLASS SHATTERS]

Kathy, go see if you can find your dad.
Tell him I need him right away.

You better go home
and stay there.

REBEL 1:
Come on!

REBEL 2:
Come on, Bleeker!

Now, wait a minute!

- Hi, Johnny. Where have you been?
- What do you want?

Talk to me, Johnny.
Sing me a song.

- Buy me a beer.
- You got a beer.

I wanna know how
you've been, Johnny.

I'm singing tonight, Johnny.
I'm really singing.

I'm on the Christmas tree.

- You got a date?
- Yeah, I got a date.

Johnny.

Remember the night...? The first time I
went out scrambling with the Rebels.

Remember?

That was the first time I ever saw you.
I haven't seen you since.

We really got ourselves hung
on the Christmas tree, didn't we?

Boy, was I green.
Was I really green.

I thought I was really living it up. I had
me a guy and we were really gonna go.

But we had a lot of yaks
anyway, didn't we, Johnny?

Well, say it.
Can't you say something?

Please, Johnny.
I won't get on your back.

I wouldn't do that.

But we had a lot of yaks
anyway, didn't we?

What do you want me to do,
send you some flowers?

Where's that girl?
Where's that Kathy?

The bar's closed, counter's
closed, everything is closed.

- Hey, Johnny, can't you stop this?
- Where's that Kathy? I'm looking for her.

- I don't know. If you can stop this...
- I don't stop nothing, man.

- They're wrecking my place.
- Oh. You're doing all right, man.

Oh, no. Please.

BILL: You all right?
- Let's get to work on these boys.

- Anybody bring a gun for me?
- Here.

- Wait a minute.
- Wait till somebody gets killed?

I don't go all the way with Charlie either.
But we've got to protect ourselves.

But two wrongs
never made anything right.

- When you start using guns...
- I'm gonna use it, one end or the other.

Anybody who wants to
stay and talk some more

can have an ice cream social with Bill.
Anybody don't, can come with me.

If you find him, bring him to the
back of the store. We'll meet there.

We'll do what we can. Let's get hold
of this Johnny before the others do.

[JAZZ MUSIC

Ha, ha!

Hey, Crazy, man, go, go, go!

That Mildred gives
the craziest permanents.

- Marina, honey, let's dance.
- I've been tapped. Ha-ha-ha.

[ALL LAUGHING
AND CHATTERING]

Hey, baby!

Go, go, go!

Come on, Leroy.
Come on, Johnny, go!

Hey, guys, look. New talent.
Hey, fellas.

- Well... Vroom, vroom!
- Ooh, that's a good one.

Let's get her!

[ALL CHEERING AND LAUGHING]

Please don't do this. Please don't.
It's too expensive. Please.

Mildred, honey, where you
been? Let's dance, sweetie.

[CRASH]

- Hey! The chick!
REBEL: Johnny's girl! Let's get her!

[ENGINES STARTING]

[REBELS SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY
AND WHISTLING]

[KATHY SHRIEKS]

Get on.

[###]

[###]

Get up.

[###]

I'm sorry, I can't fight back.

I'm too tired. It would be better,
wouldn't it? Then you could hit me.

You think you're too good for me.
Nobody is too good for me.

Anybody who thinks
they're too good for me,

I make sure
I knock them over sometime.

I can slap you around
to show you how good you are,

and tomorrow I'm someplace else
and I don't even know you or nothing.

Do you want to?

I wouldn't waste my time on a square like you.
What I wanna knock myself out for?

- I'll take you back and dump you. Come.
- Johnny.

Quit that.

It's crazy, isn't it?
You're afraid of me.

I don't know why, but
I'm not afraid of you now.

You're afraid of me.

I'm afraid of you? Are you
cracked? Come on, get on.

I wanted to touch you.
I wanted to try, anyway.

Try what?

I don't know.

[SIGHS]

I wanted to make it the way I always
thought it would be sometime

with somebody.

The way I always thought
it might be.

You're still fighting, aren't you?
You're always fighting.

Why do you hate everybody?

I've never ridden on a motorcycle
before. It's fast. It scared me.

But I forgot everything.
It felt good. Is that what you do?

I'm gonna leave. That's what
you want me to do, isn't it?

You know what
I used to think about?

I used to think about it a lot
after my mother died.

That somebody would come here
and stop at Uncle Frank's place

and buy a cup of coffee
or something,

and he'd like me right away
and he'd take me with him.

Johnny, you were going to give me that
statue. Will you give it to me now?

Why?

I don't know.

I just wondered if you still wanted
to give it to me, that's all.

It's crazy.

Where'd you want this guy
to take you?

This guy that had a cup of coffee.

I don't know.
Wherever he was going, I guess.

I'm shaky.

I wish I was going someplace.

I wish you were going someplace.
We could go together.

[SOBBING]

Johnny, Johnny.

Hey.

Hey. Quit it.

[MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING]

What's the matter, Kathy?
I was only trying to...

[REBELS SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY
AND LAUGHING]

- Chino, how did you get out of the can?
- Johnny, I love you.

Let's you and me have a beer, and I'll beat
the living Christmas out of you. Ha, ha!

Come on,
get everybody together.

- We're gonna get out of here.
- Storm the Bastille!

[GLASS SHATTERS]

MAN: There he comes! That's him!

[MEN CLAMOURING]

[###]

That's him. He's the one who...

[TYRES SCREECHING]

[###]

Dad, they've got Johnny.
They're taking him...

You've just been sitting here?
Aren't you going to do anything?

There isn't anything to do,
Kathy.

We have to help him. They took him
in a car, Mr. Thomas and some men.

He wasn't doing anything.

He was trying to stop it.
He was going to leave.

- How are things at Frank's?
- Fight started. I don't know.

I came to look for you.

- Uncle Frank is very upset.
- Well, he got what he wanted.

- Business before pleasure.
- Listen, they've gone crazy. Everybody.

They got Johnny. You've got to help him.
They're going to beat him up.

I tried to talk to him.

- Don't you even care?
- What can I do?

Nothing, I guess.

But if you don't do something,
you're worse than any of them.

They brought it on themselves.
I saw it coming, but what could I do?

Charlie Thomas is a bully.
He was a bully in the third grade.

What am I supposed to do,
shoot somebody?

[MEN GRUNTING]

- Charlie, let me talk to the boy.
- Bill, stay out of this. Get out of our way.

- My old man used to hit harder than that.
- Shut up.

[PUNCHES THUDDING]

Hold on, there.

[GRUNTS]

Get away from that boy.
Get back.

This has got nothing to do with you.
We've got a little job to do.

- This is my job.
- You won't have it long.

We're doing something that should've
been taken care of before this:

Pounding a little respect for law
and authority into this guy's thick skull.

HARRY:
That's not the way to do it.

You got a better way? You've
had a lot of time to try it.

Harry, look, you're too soft-hearted.
This is no time for kindness.

- It's as good a time as any.
- We're doing this our way.

We're gonna make good and sure he doesn't
try anything like this soon again.

I don't know what he's tried or hasn't tried.
This boy's in my custody.

If he's done anything to deserve
punishment, he'll get it,

but in the right way,
not from you.

Now, now, Harry. Take it easy.
After all, we're all old friends.

- Let's be calm and talk it over. Come on.
MAN 1: Yeah, let's talk this over, Harry.

MAN 2:
Hey!

[###]

[PANTING]

[ENGINE STARTS]

[###]

[MEN CLAMOURING]

There he comes. That's him!

What's all that? What's all
the noise? What's going on?

MAN 1: Get him up.
MAN 2: We'll really fix him for this.

MAN 3: I'm gonna break your neck.
MAN 4: Finally killed a man, huh?

REBEL: Okay, come on.
Leave him alone.

[SIREN WAILING]

[ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

What's the idea?

Let's go.

Harry, how did all this
get started anyway?

We had this man, we had this whole thing
stopped when he stuck his nose it.

- There's a little more to it than that.
- All right. We'll find out what happened.

Round up everybody on a motorcycle.
Pick up all the witnesses you can find.

The old man is dead.
A dishwasher down the street.

MAN: That makes it a
manslaughter charge, doesn't it?

We'll see. We'll see. Let's pick up
everything and sort it out inside.

Twenty years is too good
for him.

I spotted him for the ringleader
the first five minutes.

I knew somebody was gonna get killed. I
couldn't get anybody to listen to me.

You killed Jimmy with a lot of talk, as
sure as he killed him with a motorcycle.

Wait a minute.

All right, okay, okay. That's enough.
Now, stop it. That's all.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Well, son, you've got
yourself something here.

Real important trouble.

It just shows you what a boy
can do if he'll work at it.

Well?

Haven't you anything to say?

I didn't kill nobody. Those guys were
after me and I just took off. That's all.

Maybe something hit my cycle.
I don't know what happened.

Then I went out, and that's...
That's all.

Yeah.

Well...

Let's go.

I located my daughter. She went home.
Do you want to talk to her?

SHERIFF: No. Bring her in later.
HARRY: You'd better talk to her now.

SHERIFF:
You do? Well, I don't.

I've been up half the night.

I've got a long drive home
before I can get this joker booked.

HARRY: But she was with the boy.
FRANK: He knows that. Art Kleiner is...

Shut up, Frank.

All right. Come in,
sit down.

That'll be all.

- Kathy's my niece. I have a right to stay.
- All right, but keep quiet.

[SIGHS]

- Well?
- It's crazy.

SHERIFF:
Yeah, I know.

I've got one fact. A man's dead,
and our boy here is stuck with it.

I don't think it was his fault.

SHERIFF:
Do you know one way or the other?

No.

You haven't fallen for this fellow,
have you?

[###]

No. No, I couldn't.

Let's go.

They beat him up. I saw them.
He wasn't doing anything.

I know he was leaving.

- He just wanted to go when...
- Yes, I know.

Sheriff, listen.

- Sheriff, wait, please.
- She's upset. She didn't mean that.

But regardless of what
happened to old Jimmy,

that boy deserves
everything he gets.

- Art here saw her fighting him off.
- No, Uncle Frank is wrong. He helped me.

They were after me and...

She was crying,
trying to get away from him.

I wasn't trying to get away from him.
I was just trying to get away.

[SOBBING]

Maybe we better tell him,
Frank.

Tell me what?

- Why, the...
- Art and I were coming up the street.

Now, we didn't see who threw it,

but a tyre iron either hit the boy
or the motorcycle, and it went wild.

- Who threw what?
- A tyre iron. You know, it's a...

The thing to take the tyre
off the rim.

Yeah. Somebody threw it
and it landed at our feet.

Why didn't you say so before?

Sit down.

John Strabler.

You got any friends, Johnny?

You picked up a few around here
last night, strange as it seems.

A couple anyway.

They got you off the hook
for a while.

I don't get you.

I don't get your act at all.
And I don't think you do, either.

I don't think you know what
you're trying to do, or how to do it.

I think you're stupid.
Real stupid and real lucky.

Last night you scraped by,
just barely.

But a man's dead on account of
something you let get started,

even though you didn't start it.

I don't know if there's any good in you.
I don't know if there's anything in you,

but I'm gonna take a big,
fat chance...

and let you go.

There'll be a hearing on this tyre-iron
business. You'll get a summons.

And you'd better show up.

Put him on the road.

Uh...

- Is that yours?
- Yeah.

Go ahead.

Don't you want to say anything
to these people?

What's the matter? You been
hit over the head so often,

you don't know when you're getting a break?
At least say thank you.

It's all right.
He doesn't know how.

Okay, hotshots,
the fun is over.

Every one of you monkeys is down in my
book, and all the damage will be paid for.

You've got 10 minutes to clear out.

Just stick your nose back
in this county, any of you,

and you'll never see daylight
again as long as you live.

Now, get.

[ENGINES STARTING]

[MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING]

Some coffee.
