Whoo!
Ow!
Boy George: * I just got to live my life
* I tell you, baby
* this is no way to live
* make sacrifices
* till there's nothing to give *
* everyone says there's rules to obey *
* I can't follow when things never change *
* holdin' my checkbook, got a leak in the pipe *
* food on the table, but the landlord knocked twice *
* I want more than the shirt on my back *
* worked too hard just to repeat the past *
* satisfaction...
No, no, no, you don't like the bruins
because you don't understand the bruins.
You want to watch people skate nice,
you watch tai and Randy.
You want hockey, you want to see guys
messing each other up with sticks,
that's what people pay to see. Primal shit.
[Camera clicks]
That's not hockey, that's violence.
When the game's played right,
it's about movement. It's like dance.
So what are you, Bambi?
We live in a jungle.
We gotta have outlets for our aggression.
Hey, look, you know, i don't want to argue
with you this morning, ok?
Hey, bill, loosen up the sphincter, huh?
You're all bottled up.
Good morning, Andrew.
How you doin', Joey?
Hang in there, Joe.
* oh, yeah
* oh, baby
[camera clicks]
* the roof is leaking
* stack of pillows on my bed *
* no way to wake up...
Yeah, it's ok. But I gotta tell you,
word's already out on the street. It's too late.
I can't talk about it.
[Overlapping conversations]
All I can tell you is if you want to swim,
you gotta jump in the pool.
On that one, I got...
129 1/2.
Monty.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hold on! What do you think, I'm an octopus?
I only got 2 hands here. Hold on.
It's up a half.
Uh, lunch would be good.
Now, wait. Not this week, though.
Monty, you want security, I'll get you a blanket.
You want to get the big bucks,
you're gonna have to trust me.
Yeah. no, i wouldn't touch it.
What they all do and not do?
Mary...
Yes, uh, can you get me...
[Loud overlapping conversations]
Hey. just don't trust that guy.
He's a Harvard asshole.
[Loud overlapping conversations]
I'm working now.
[No audio]
Goldman!
Hey, Neil, yeah, i gotta get back to you.
Ok.
Uh...
[No audio]
No, no, no, no.
Forget it!
Yeah. no, no...
Ha. this is getting very weird.
Jesus Christ! Point that thing the other way.
What has gotten into you?
Oh... it's not safe, Andrew.
I just got it off the news wire.
They're delaying the trial another 30 days.
If we have to wait that long, forget it.
We're dead meat.
Oh, come on. What do you think kapados is gonna do,
he's gonna kill us? Come on!
He's a businessman. It's just business.
That's what we thought
when we took his bullshit bonds.
You don't pass off that much
in counterfeit paper on your own.
I'm telling you, we were chumped.
He had us laundering money for the mob.
Bill, bill,
ok, go make some money.
You'll feel better, ok?
That's what I'm gonna do.
Now, please, sign that thing
before you blow your balls off.
* is it true what I heard
* last week and today...
You want to testify against kapados, fine. Not me.
What is the big deal?
You stick your hand on a Bible,
you swear to tell the truth, they find the bastard guilty.
Yeah, and they find us incompetent
for having done business with them
in the first place.
Look, my uncle Fred's got a dealership
in Springfield. I'm gonna be selling
used pintos, man.
Yo, morenski, back me up here.
Tell the man.
Go.
Bill, bill.
This whole thing's gonna blow over.
And meanwhile the 3 of us
can get back to what's important in life.
Forget it.
Andrew. Andrew.
What?
You see this curly one at the bar?
The one in the green?
She's been checking you out.
Do you know her? What's her name?
Um, she trades for first Boston.
Yeah. janey something.
Um...irish.
Listen, I heard Eddie Decker on the phone today.
This wasn't a lending file.
American drainpipe.
That's more money down the drain.
Not if you get in today.
This won't be on the street for 5 or 6 weeks.
What's her last name, guys?
Janey...
...closed out today at 4 5/8, and the day this hits,
it's gonna go right through the roof.
Yeah, it goes through the roof,
the roof leaks, you're gonna need a new drainpipe.
Rooney. janey Rooney. There you go.
Drainpipe. American drainpipe.
But keep it under your hat.
Let's go, boss.
Tokyo market's just waking up.
I gotta fire up the modem.
Um, listen, ahern,
I think, uh,
I think I'm gonna stay here a little while.
So could you do me a favor
and make sure quick draw here
gets home in one piece?
Am I the only one here that sees reality?
We're screwed.
Andrew sees reality.
It never stops him from trying.
Go for it, tiger.
Come on, Wyatt earp, we're history.
* why don't you join my bed *
* we gotta come together *
[footsteps]
[Thunder]
[Rain]
So, I'm a little on edge.
A little?
Looks like we're gonna have to swim home.
Hey, yo, taxi!
Yeah!
[Siren in distance]
[Music plays]
[Thunder]
[Music playing]
[Turns up volume]
[Gunshot] aah--
[brakes squeal]
Hey! hey, you!
Hey, you can't park your car over there!
You need a ticket! Hey, Jimmy,
don't you see the sign? You need a ticket!
Back off.
He said back off.
Mr. morenski?
What?
Agent Pratt, f.B.I,
this is my associate, agent bakey.
F.b.i.?
Why don't we go back upstairs
and pack you a suitcase?
A suitcase? What are you talking about?
It's for your own protection.
Come on.
Ahern?
Ahern, what the hell's going on here?
Morenski! what happened?
Where's bill?
Where's Rodriguez, ahern?
Will someone please tell me what's goin' on here?
[Car doors open, close]
[Engine starts]
[Strikes match]
[Train horn honks]
What took place at yasgur's farm?
Guys...
I gotta use the phone.
I swear to god, I won't tell my clients where I am,
but it's been 2 weeks,
other brokers are going to be
stealing them away from me.
He's stalling again. Can you believe this?
Every question, it's the same thing with you!
Give me a break! I'm tired, ok?
Yasgur's farm, Andrew, what happened?
We cover the same territory over and over.
We're not gettin' any place like this.
Now, let's have it. What happened?
[Sighs] a farm, right?
Right.
Ok, um, does it, uh,
have anything to do with Charlie manson?
The category is entertainment!
Ok, guys, I'm not stalling now,
I'm quitting, that's it.
I've got a bad case of the trivia d.T.S.
Yasgur's farm, Andrew.
It's where they held Woodstock!
Oh, yeah, yeah. I knew that.
Where do you think you're going?
I'm going out
to mail a birthday card to my grandma.
Is that ok with you?
Do any of you guys got a stamp?
Sorry, pal, no way. We can't let you out.
I don't believe this! Kapados is the criminal!
He's out on bail!
I'm stuck here like some kind of axe murderer!
Where do you guys have ahern?
Does he have the same kind of deluxe accommodations?
You want luxury or you want to be kept alive?
Give me a day to think about that.
Listen, it's nothing personal, guys,
but I gotta get some fresh air.
No, you're not going out, and you're not making any calls.
Come on!
Well, I could use some real food.
Yeah.
No. look, morrill specifically said--
morrill's nads have been tied to a desk for 20 years.
I know the street.
This hour of the day, very indistinct,
I'm with Richie rich.
Let's go.
Ha ha!
[Train horn honking]
Hey, hey, hold up, hold up.
[Sighs]
No calls, all right?
That's something that we can't be flexible on.
This book is just my clients, you know?
It's my people. If I don't have it with me,
I get tense, ok?
Ain't that cute?
It's like his little Teddy bear.
You guys have no idea how hard it is
for a broker to line up quality clientele.
Bakey and Pratt: Quality clientele?
Like kapados?
Pratt: morenski, just go for the pancakes!
[Indistinct chatter]
Or go for somethin'. We don't got all day
uh, the waffles. It says here
that they're golden brown.
Is that really true?
Uh, ok, I'll have
the number 5 waffle breakfast
with the bacon extra well done.
How about a nice glass of milk?
That they can make golden brown.
No, actually, I'd like a scotch, please.
Dewar's, straight up, please, thank you.
Baby doll, it's 6:00 in the morning.
Oh, then make it a double, please.
Let's see some I.D.
I don't believe this.
Let me show you mine, huh?
Figures.
You don't identify yourself,
not to anybody, not anywhere, period.
I don't know if you're aware of this,
but once you testify,
they're probably going to get you relocated.
It's uncle Sam's way of keeping you alive
after you spill the beans.
You get a new name, you get a new town,
you get a new everything.
Yeah, a lot of guys end up living in national parks.
They become forest rangers.
Trust me, you'll love it.
Bakey, bakey, I already got a name, ok?
I got a job, a Maserati,
got a 2-bedroom apartment in Cambridge.
Come on, I'm located.
That's it. End of discussion.
Hey, they're really into plastic surgery.
[Laughs]
I'm getting hip to you, bakey.
I can tell when you're bullshitting.
Heh!
Yeah-yeah, right, I'm gonna let the f.B.I.
Relocate my noose. You gotta be nuts.
I gotta take a wicked dump.
There's the individual.
Classy joint.
Oh, I almost forgot. I found you a stamp.
Oh, thanks. Mm-hmm.
The way I figure it,
at least you don't have a wife and kids.
That's when it gets really tough.
No.
No calls.
If I wasn't on duty, I'd--
Pratt? Pratt!
[Gunshot]
[All screaming]
Son of a bitch!
Jesus!
[All screaming]
[Tires squealing]
[Yelling]
Get out of the way!
Hey!
[Tires squealing]
[Men shouting]
[Honks horn]
[Man talking on P.A.]
Hey! hey!
Ugh! oh!
[All yelling]
[Train horn honking]
[Panting]
Dark hair, kind of tall.
Oh, yeah, and he had this hair-do,
some kind of Dracula hair-do.
We put our best manpower into finding morenski.
Is your best anything like bakey?
Pathetic. he's an embarrassment.
He's a solid agent, for Christ sake.
25 years experience with the bureau.
Doesn't show. Now I'm short 2 witnesses.
Well, at least morenski got out out alive.
You hope.
Please don't let him take me off the case.
I'm to blame, i know I'm responsible--
bakey, for Christ sake, i bought you some time.
But you can't blame that guy.
His whole case is going down the drain.
Kapados will walk.
That son of a bitch of a bastard killed my partner!
You just find me morenski.
If he's hiding, smoke him out,
if he's dead, bring him back to life.
But find the man.
I will do everything--
I don't wanna hear nothin'.
[Truck horn honks]
[Brakes squeal]
Thanks a million.
Truck driver: Any time.
[Truck horn honks]
And if there's some reason that you left the trash can--
[telephone rings]
I'll get it.
[Rings]
Can I help you?
Andrew: who's this?
Who's this?
Your cousin Andrew.
Patrick, is that you?
Yo, cuz!
Hey, kid, what a relief.
I thought i had the wrong number.
Patrick--
well, how you doin'?
Uh, well, I'm alive.
I heard you were in some kind of jam,
somethin' with the f.B.I.
Uh, Patrick, aunt Lucy, is she around?
Oh, yeah. Hey, guess what?
I really don't have the time.
I'm days away from my learner's permit.
As a matter of fact,
we were just going out to practice.
Wow, that's-that's terrific.
Can I speak to your mom, please?
Hey, where are you calling from?
Uh, well...Beats the shit out of me.
It sounds like you're calling
from the Maserati, huh?
Can you please put your mom on the phone, Patrick?
Hey, maybe you'll let me drive it sometime?
I've been practicing day and night.
Left turns suck, but other than that--
Patrick! put your mother on the friggin' phone!
Whoa, are we a little tense?
Yes!
Uh, nurse, it's the stool pigeon.
Hey, I'll go pull the car out.
Andrew, that picture of you in the paper was awful!
[Dog barking]
[Starts engine]
[Rock music playing on radio]
Oh, my god!
Patrick, my god!
I'll clean it up later, mom.
Andrew-- [turns music down]
Your cousin Andrew's coming to stay with us
for a little while.
Really?
Yeah, he's meeting me tomorrow
in the school office.
Now, that's just between you and me.
Not a peep, warden.
Ok. be careful.
[Tires squealing]
Whoa!
Patrick!
[Clutch grinding]
[Starts engine]
Uh, nosebleed.
Major nosebleed.
[Truck horn honking]
[Indistinct chatter]
[Water running]
[Toilet flushes]
Man on radio: All right,
and now back to more easy listening.
New Jersey's mellowest spot on the dial,
wmlow.
Where metal never gets heavy,
and the rock never gets hard.
[Car horn honks]
Yo, mister, mister,
uh, may I have a cigarette, please?
Oh, uh, yeah, sure.
What--
that's a, uh,
that's a real nice coat you got there.
You wouldn't want to trade it
for this one, would you?
No, I don't want that coat. I just want a cigarette.
Are you crazy?
This is a $500 Italian-made coat.
I bought this in Milan.
You paid 5 cs for that,
and you're asking me if I'm crazy?
Ok, I'll give you the coat--
no! the shirt--
no!
And a pack of cigarettes.
No--it's a deal.
Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.
For my grandmother.
Thanks a lot. Enjoy it.
Have a pleasant day.
Hey-hey!
Hey, guys, look what I got! Cigarettes!
[Thunder]
[Music playing]
Um, excuse me, can I, uh,
possibly get a cigarette from you?
Oh, thank you.
Got a light?
[School bell rings]
Anybody got a light?
[Sighs]
Man on P.A.: A reminder from Mrs. billings,
there is absolutely no smoking
on school grounds.
This includes all faculty--
[indistinct chatter]
Excuse me--
take a seat. It'll be a minute.
2 head humbuckers!
5 position rotary switch.
24 frets, nickel board bridge in black.
Hey, that's pretty serious.
You three, sit up!
Come on inside.
It's ok, I didn't call your parents...Yet.
Uh, no, I think you're making a real mistake.
Oh, and taking a blowtorch
to the couch in the teacher's lounge?
Was that also, perhaps, a real mistake?
But, i--
hey, man, you did it, and now you're what, sorry,
maybe depressed a little?
Hey, I am not the enemy.
So why don't you just come on in, uh, Shawn?
Go ahead and call in my parents!
I didn't do shit!
Come on in, Shawn.
Go ahead and call them, man!
I didn't do shit!
Man on P.A.: Attention, students,
all students.
The second bell is not a warning bell.
It is a late bell.
Young man?
Are you supposed to be in this office?
Let me see your pass.
I don't, um,
I don't have one.
I'm new here.
Have you been to the registrar's office?
No.
Oh, here. Here's the pass.
Go down to the end of the hall, take a left,
then up the stairs and turn left.
Thank you.
Man on P.A.: Warning--get to class!
The second one says you're late.
If you don't hear the second bell,
see the nurse right away
about having the wax taken out of your ears.
Edna, my nephew, he's supposed to meet me here.
I'm running a little late.
First name first, last name last.
Andrew... [coughing]
Are you all right?
Yeah. my name.
Oh, you want-- you want my name.
Maxwell.
Maxwell what?
Haus...er.
Hauser.
H-a-u-s-e-r.
Last school attended?
Cornell. high school!
In, uh, Texas.
It's a small town in Texas.
Uh, my, uh, records could take weeks.
Everything takes weeks.
All right. Here is the spectrum
of human sexuality.
Oh, hi.
Hello.
Maxwell--am I pronouncing this correctly--hauser?
Yeah. all right.
There's a seat for you.
You just make yourself at school.
And who would like to tell Maxwell
what we've been talking about, Mike?
Alternative lifestyles.
And specifically, the area of--
homosexuality.
No. [laughter]
No, sexual preference.
Maybe this is an area
you've touched on previously, Max?
Oh, well, I've touched on it,
but a refresher never hurt.
[Laughter]
All right, at one end we have heterosexuality--
[writing on chalkboard]
And, at the other end,
homosexuality.
I know this is not a subject that we feel free
to discuss easily and openly,
but... Patrick!
I have to remind you that if we don't share,
if we don't communicate,
then we can't begin to understand who we are.
At one time or another,
whether you choose to acknowledge it or not,
every one of us,
has experienced feelings at all points
along this spectrum including homosexuality.
Patrick!
I don't expect anyone to stand up in this room
and proclaim their gayness--
[laughter] Patrick!
Max...
That is really courageous of you.
[Laughter]
[School bell rings]
[Indistinct chatter]
[Sighs]
Kevin...
Oh, no!
Wait up!
Man on P.A.: Attention, sophomores.
Softball tryouts take place next Friday
in the band practice room.
No band practice next Friday.
The chess club will be holding--
rape! rape!
[Grunting]
Ah! get back, don't make me have to hurt you.
[Scoffs]
Well, look, bub, here's the spectrum, ok?
On this side, we got homo--
mm-hmm.
And over here's hetero, and here's me,
way the fuck over here.
Now what other people do,
different lifestyles and stuff like that,
that's all fine and dandy with me--
but, Patrick! I love you.
Oh, god.
Like a cousin. Cousin?
Andrew! oh, Andrew! Oh, thank god!
Max, it's Max.
Max?
Ah, jeez.
What happened to your head?
Long story.
Jesus Christ, this is not how I remember
high school girls looking.
Half these girls look like they're 35
and just got divorced.
Yeah. hey, yo, penny, my man, how you doin'?
Hey, what's up?
That guy's a friend of mine.
What the hell are you-- don't breathe!
Uh, nice day.
Cock-sucking fascist ayatollah.
[Gulps]
Mr. morenski, may I ask
what's under your foot?
Uh, linoleum?
[Coughs]
Sorry.
Uh, I was smoking,
and, uh, it's my first day.
No smoking on the school grounds!
Understand?
Yeah. yeah.
Sorry.
Sorry doesn't cut it here. Understood?
Oooh!
All right, Max, let's get something straight.
You left the outside world,
you gotta orient your thinking.
You gotta think repression, think limits,
think humiliation and despair.
You're in high school, for Christ's sakes.
Patrick?
Patrick, wait up. Patrick!
The acid test. You'll never get away with it!
You want to make a bet?
How much?
If she doesn't recognize me,
you do my homework the whole time I'm here.
If she does?
You still do my homework,
only I pay you 100 bucks.
No, I'll do your homework, $100 if I lose, 2 if I win.
Oh, come on!
You know I'm trying to save up for a car.
Ok. easy money.
Hi, mom. Mom, I want you to meet Max.
He just started here.
Honey, I want to get home and check the machine.
I'm concerned about your cousin.
He never showed up.
No? you're kidding. Are you sure?
Patrick, come here.
He was in all the papers today.
Somebody's trying to kill him.
I just hope grandma's not freaking out.
You know how she is about Andrew.
Oh. so, mom, mom, mom, mom!
You definitely didn't see him today?
Patrick, now didn't i just say that?
I'm going now. You want to practice driving,
you can take me home.
Uh, no, I think me and Max here,
we'll just hang out a while.
Oh, Max, say good-bye to my mom.
Mom, this is Max.
Nice meeting you, Max.
Honey, your dinner's in the freezer.
I have class tonight.
Mom. mom, mom, mom, mom!
Heh heh heh heh!
So what is this,
someone's trying to kill you?
I need a stiff drink.
Yeah, so do I.
Son of a bitch. It even made the papers here.
Watch it, Patrick, don't bust my stool.
Ok, we got 2 wild cherry slush buckets.
Mega for you and colossal
for goldilocks over here.
Did you ever ask yourself how did I get here?
Well, I used to.
Now I just ask myself
how the hell do I get out.
So, um, who wants to kill ya?
Oh, this money guy, Victor kapados.
Our company had a lot of bonds he wanted us to handle.
Millions of dollars worth.
The whole thing was set up to look legit, but it wasn't.
What's up, dork?
So that's not your fault.
Yeah, but I'm a witness,
and the justice department wants me to testify
that I accepted the paper.
So that's you, huh?
Me, and ahern and Rodriguez.
Now, Rodriguez has an excuse.
He's dead.
But, uh, ahern they still have in custody,
so he can testify.
What they did to Pratt, though...
I've never seen anything like it.
Is that gonna be cash or cash, huh?
Hmm?
Oh, let me consult with my accountant here.
Yo, Max, old pal,
can I, uh, borrow your wallet?
Oh, hey, and gertie, while you're at it,
could you throw in a bag of potato chips,
a tube of bazooka and a snickers bar?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks.
Let's get out of here.
A comic and a tube of bazooka.
Hey, gertie. Yeah?
Patrick left this behind.
Yeah, yeah. We'll mail it out.
[Rock music playing]
Hey, Patrick!
This one isn't too bad. Can I wear it tomorrow?
Sure. thanks.
[Knocking on door]
Lucy: Patrick!
Wait just a second!
[Both yelling]
Here, come in here. Down in here.
Patrick?
Mom, mom, this is my room, this is my sanctum!
I knocked, but you didn't hear.
I thought you left.
[Turns music down] I did.
But then it occurred to me,
I really should call the f.B.I.
Mom, you called the f.B.I.?!
Oh, my god!
Why are you so upset about that?
Upset? do I look upset? Me, upset? No.
I've been trying for the last half hour to get through,
then I finally I did-- i got a recording.
[Exhales] mom, i say we don't
tell the feds anything, huh?
I mean, maybe the cuz just, uh,
maybe he just needs a little breathing room.
Patrick? what?
What are these?
Uh...garments?
Oh, mom, I wouldn't touch those if I were you.
Please, please, I'll wash them, I promise.
I thought we had a deal.
Think about it! If you don't have any underwear tomorrow,
who are you gonna complain to?
Mom, I didn't have any underwear today.
Did you hear me make a peep?
This sanctum is worse
than the black hole of Calcutta.
She's always saying that.
Has she ever been to Calcutta? No!
[Door closes]
It's ok, Max, it's safe.
Max, Max!
[Moaning]
I am dismayed.
I am deeply, deeply dismayed.
Now, can anyone guess why?
Ethan?
Would you care to hazard a guess?
I didn't think you would.
Your essays, class, were execrable.
All right!
[Laughter]
I am likening your work to human bodily waste.
With one notable exception.
Impressive work, Mr. o'roarke.
Momentarily forgetting your impoverished vocabularies,
your misinterpretation of historical facts,
ha!
Allow me to site an example.
And I will, however, spare
the unfortunate author.
In selecting for a topic the Nixon years,
our author shows a stunning naiveté.
Ha ha.
Now, none of you are old enough to remember,
as I do, how Nixon's countrymen betrayed him.
But, was Richard Nixon really to blame?
No.
He was a target. A victim.
Campus radicals needed a scapegoat
to justify their own shoddy idealism.
Hmm. Mr. hauser,
you appear to be writhing in your seat.
Is this a nervous condition?
Oh, yes, it is, it's a nervous condition.
What? no, no,
it's not a nervous condition.
Oh.
Mrs. billings, i don't mean to be rude,
but, uh,
no one destroyed president Nixon.
The man destroyed himself.
The secret bombings in Cambodia,
he rigged a presidential election!
The media didn't create that.
He put it down on tape!
You're not old enough to know who did what.
That's my job.
And the one thing i will not have
in my classroom is anarchy.
Anarchy? the man lied!
He resigned a disgrace!
I mean, is it anarchy to discuss the facts?
Mr. hauser, this is my classroom.
I decide what are and are not facts.
You, sir, are in my class.
Please sit down.
Mrs. billings, we're all adults here.
I mean, you seem like a fairly reasonable person.
I mean, really,
is it your class...
Or is it our class?
It's her class, dickbrain!
Shawn?
I didn't expect to see you back in here so soon.
[Indistinct chatter]
Thank you.
Man on P.A.: Last night, our intrepid football team,
your own topsail pirates,
play their first game of the season
against new Hanover.
It was not our most--
here's the guy Max that did it.
Hey, Max. Yo, Max.
What's up?
Make a move, morenski, and you're dead.
What do you want?
Your car keys and your credit card.
Patrick! that's not funny!
Hey, relax, I was just kidding!
Max, how you doin'?
I don't get it, Patrick.
People I don't know are talking to me.
Hey, you asked for it.
I mean, word is out.
Hey, noble move, Maxwell.
The man has definite potential.
We should talk, know what I'm sayin'?
Bust a move, fellas.
I wish I could walk like that.
Potential? what's he talking about?
Oh, it's no wonder young girls are turning to bulimia.
What is this stuff?
You don't want to know.
Hi. hi.
Oh, hi.
Uh...
Uh...oh, Andrew--
Max. Max, uh,
this is Chloe, and this is Ryan.
Well, uh, hello...
Chloe and, uh--
Ryan. Ryan.
I heard you had to go see Dr. gusick.
I'm really sorry about that.
Oh, it's my fault. It's my big mouth.
No, but I still owe you one.
[Both giggling]
Max: why is that?
You were defending my essay.
Oh! so, uh, you're the unfortunate author.
That's me. Better be careful.
Max: yeah. Oh, please, sit down, sit down.
Well, it sounded like a really interesting essay.
I'd love to read it sometime.
Yeah.
Her father was a pilot in Vietnam.
I hear his side of it all the time.
Uh, well, Maxwell, gotta motor.
There's a dodge aires out there
with my name on it. Hey, uh,
you stay off the streets, all right?
See you later, Ryan.
Bye. bye.
[Grunts] thanks, Patrick.
Hickey. Chloe...
Hi.
If you'll excuse us...
Come on, Ryan. I gotta go.
Um, can I meet you later?
No, I have practice later.
Then after that,
I have a campaign meeting. Come on.
I'll be there in a little bit, ok?
Yeah, sure. I'm out of here.
Ryan: Kevin...
Me, too. I'll see you later, Ryan.
Wait up, Kevin.
Did you really mean it?
That you want to read my essay?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I did.
Oh, heh.
Here, but you have to ignore all the red ink.
Billings kind of had a field day
with the comments.
Wow. heh heh.
Wall street journal?
Not the usual literature for an anarchist.
Well, uh...
I'm not the usual anarchist.
I kind of sensed that. Heh.
Bye, Max.
Bye-bye, Ryan.
[Tires screech]
Both hands-- two hands at all times,
two hands. Slow down.
Making a left-- what's the drill?
Signal, check the mirror.
Then when it's clear, make the move.
Give me a left.
[Tires screeching] [Honking]
We're gonna be killed! Aah!
Step on the brake! Uhh.
Aah! stop it!
Pull over! Look out for that car!
Patrick: oh, god!
[All screaming]
Student: hey, look, man, let me out.
Me, too, man. I can't take any more of this.
[Grunting] what? what?
That wasn't even close.
Patrick, just pull over!
[Wheezing]
Unh.
Man on P.A.: Senior class elections coming up.
I'd like to remind you all that nominations must be in
by no later than this Friday.
Girl: whoo!
Check with miss billings--
ha ha, Maxwell! Check this out.
I'm running your campaign, Max.
You're gonna take down o'roarke,
you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
He's overwhelmed.
I knew you'd dig it.
No! no, i don't dig it.
Check it out, check it out. These posters
are only the beginning. You know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, bust it!
[Beatboxing]
* now all: * vote
* for the man, the man is mad Max *
* yes, he will give us justice *
* abolish the tax
* he'll make lunch longer *
* and make class shorter *
* we'll get Perrier
* instead of water
* now, the dickhead o'roarke *
* has been 2 years standing *
* now, listen to a word *
* of what we're demanding *
* so, the thing to do *
* if you want big fu-un *
* just vote for mad Max *
all: * 'cause he's down with Clinton *
* grr!
I did mention that you might not be interested.
Check it out. We already put up half the posters.
Oh, no. You can just take 'em down.
Y-you should have asked me.
Hey, listen, I get a little ahead of myself, but that's me.
That's the way I am. You know what I'm sayin'?
I have an idea. Why don't you run?
Nah, man, that's not my thing.
My thing's behind the scenes.
See, I'm a mover, a motivator. You know what I'm sayin'?
That's me. That's the way I am.
Well, this is me declining the nomination.
I'm really honored, guys,
but, you know, that's me. That's the way I am.
You're a natural. And just think how good it's gonna look
on your college application.
And the girls-- the girls will be on you
like white on rice, you know what I'm sayin'?
The power thing's a turnon. Ha!
Check it out. Before you say no,
answer me this. You ever run before?
You've run before, Max, haven't you?
Recently, in fact.
Listen up. Kevin o'roarke been president
for 2 years now.
This school needs some fresh blood.
Believe me, my blood is not that fresh.
You'd be surprised.
[Beeper beeps]
Hey, that's my man Lamar in the gym
working on the pompom squad.
You see, I'm a mover, a motivator.
I'll catch you later.
That's him. That's the way he is.
I'm absolutely not running, no--
check it out, check it out.
Save it for your campaign speech.
Yo, bust a move, fellas.
* I'm d. * disky
* and Davey d.
All: * we make up the force of Clinton's posse *
[beatboxes]
[Strums out-of-tune guitar]
How do those guys do that?
[Beatboxing]
Oh, this is getting worse by the minute.
Last time I picked up a girl at her parents' house,
I can't even remember. That's how long ago it was.
Heh. same as me.
I can't believe you set up a date with Ryan.
I didn't. She set it up.
How do I look?
Well, uh, here. Try this.
Oh, Patrick, I haven't the slightest idea
what high-school girls like to talk about.
Well, you're on your own there, Max.
They don't like to talk to me about anything. Heh.
Patrick, maybe this tie is why.
Nah, I'm kidding.
They will. Don't worry about it.
Well, I'm not worried about it.
I mean, all that is gonna change
as soon as i get my license.
Of course, I don't have a stack of credit cards
or a decent stereo or a fine set of wheels.
Or a mortgage or student loan payments
or lower back pain-- believe me,
you got a lot to look forward to.
[Coughs]
Anyway, it's not bad, all that stuff--
oh, give me that. [Coughs]
Just learn to be your true self.
My true self?
I'm talking to a guy who stole his name
off a coffee can.
Trust me on this, Patrick.
I used to be exactly like you.
I was a short, horny, hopeless dork.
Well, look at you now.
Well, I'm not short.
Hey, uh...
Good luck on your date tonight, Max.
I mean it.
Thanks, Patrick...
You little shit.
[Crickets chirping and dog barking]
[Sighs]
Please, oh, please answer the door, Ryan.
Last thing I need is to talk to this girl's father.
[Doorbell ringing]
[Soft rock music playing inside]
Max? hello, I'm Ryan's father.
Come on in. Hi, sir.
* but in this man's world
* you'll always be...
You can call me Bob. Mmm.
Listen, Ryan will be right down.
What can I get for you?
Uh...i'll take a scotch and soda.
Sorry, Bob! Bad joke. Uh...
Just a soda.
Just soda. Yeah, thanks.
You, uh, have a lovely home here.
Thank you.
Stop it. You're sounding like Eddie haskell.
* no way, i refuse, I refuse *
* I defy inhibition, escape definition *
* I refuse, I refuse...
My hobby. [Rattles]
Sorry. [bangs piano]
Heh heh heh. Just soda.
Heh heh. Thanks.
Ryan!
She's up there somewhere.
Mm-hmm.
Well, don't let me take you away from anything.
No, no, no, it's all right.
Just finishing up some paperwork,
and this new tax code-- it's got me all screwed up.
Oh, yeah, tell me about it.
So, are you taking the standard deductions,
or are you itemizing?
I'm, uh...Itemizing.
Oh. well then, let's take a look here.
[Computer beeps]
Ok. what--oh.
Yeah, you got that one. Heh.
Oh, but...What about this loss here?
You see, you can offset the dividend income there.
Wow! I missed that.
Yeah, that's like 1,000 bucks right there.
[Coughs]
Heh. uh...
You're in the same classes with Ryan?
Max: oh, yeah.
Hi. oh, hi.
You guys getting along ok?
Uh, it's great.
[Both giggle]
Ok. ready?
Oh, listen. Wait, Ryan.
I want to treat you guys.
Here's some cash.
Really?
Really.
Great! ok, see you later.
Tell mom I'll be home early.
Ok, I will.
Nice meeting you, Bob...Sir.
Boy, that was weird. 20 minutes ago,
he was screaming about the heating bill.
Oh, yeah? Heh heh!
I have big news.
Uh-huh.
I found out today.
University of Iowa-- i got an early admission.
Oh, great! That's--that's terrific.
What about you? Where are you gonna go?
Uh, I don't know yet. I haven't heard.
Well-- uh,
well, allow me. Ok.
Iowa, huh?
Ever been there? No.
I know it's where they grow potatoes.
Corn.
Aha. [giggling]
Yeah, I knew that. Yeah.
Are you ready for the Jersey jet?
I don't know.
Unh. ok.
[Engine starts]
So, where are we going?
Uh, I leave it entirely in your hands.
It's your town.
Ok.
Whoa. where did you get this car?
Oh, my mom drove it when she was in college--
original brakes, original transmission.
You know, I still have my original foot.
We better walk.
[Brakes squeal] Heh heh!
[Pop music playing]
* you came into my life
* the look in your eyes took me by surprise *
[shouting]
* it's you and nobody else... *
[laughing]
Uhh--whoa.
Ok, come on.
* I am descending
* from heaven above
* so, catch me, I'm falling, baby *
* hold onto my love...
Ok, come on.
You can do it the long way.
Aah!
Ha ha ha!
* catch me now, I'm falling... *
uhh. whoa. whoa.
Cha, cha, cha.
Cha, cha, cha. Ok.
Ok, come on.
Ryan: Max, Max! What...Oh!
[Laughs]
[Indistinct chattering and video games beeping]
Thanks. [mutters]
Oh...
Max, do you need a hand?
Nah, I'm going good now.
Oh, watch out. Jeez.
Oh, be careful. Oh. Whoa.
Whoa, oh.
Oh, wait, wait, oh, ok. Heh heh!
Yeah.
[Giggling] oh, Max.
You wanted mustard, right?
Um...
Actually, i like ketchup.
Ha ha!
Oh, no, wait. Here, I'll go get it.
Max, I'll go get it. It's ok.
Thanks.
Man on P.A.: Everyone clear the floor, please.
Your next number will be ladies' choice,
couples.
[Soft pop music playing]
* I was all right
* for a while
* I could smile for a while... *
oh! [giggling]
Would you believe that i haven't been on skates
in 15 years?
Yeah, I believe it.
Wait. that means the last time you skated,
you were 2?
I wasn't even very good then.
Try bending your knees. It'll help.
Heh heh heh!
So, you come here often with Kevin?
Hardly ever. He's very concerned about being cool.
Wait a minute. You mean, this isn't cool?
I'm out of here.
Get back here!
Heh heh heh.
Where you're from, do you have a girlfriend?
As a matter of fact, I do...
Or, I did.
We were together for 3 years.
We came this close to getting married.
Really?
Yeah, she was my skating instructor.
I can see why we broke up.
Heh heh! Oh, Max.
* left me standing all alone *
* alone and crying
* crying
* it's hard to understand *
* that the touch of your hand... *
it looks like you made a big impression
on my father.
Oh, yeah. He's terrific.
I think I broke one of his planes, though.
[Laughs]
Well, what about you?
What are your parents like?
I, uh...
I lost them in a car accident when I was real young.
I was raised by my grandmother.
Max, I'm sorry.
Oh, no, it's ok.
Really, it is.
* than I did before
* but, darling, what can I do? *
Ryan: I'll drop you off at your house.
Um, you know, actually, it's such a nice night.
I think-- i think I'll walk.
Oh, it's no problem.
No, actually, right here, right here is fine--
this corner. Right here?
Yeah. yeah.
Ok. heh heh. Heh.
[Brakes squeal]
Well, heh...
Well...
I had a great time.
Me, too.
[Sighs]
So...
Is something wrong?
Actually, there is something I have to tell you.
What is it?
I...
Think I'm coming down with a cold.
[Laughing] a cold?
Yeah, I'm very paranoid about germs.
Oh.
Not me.
[Kiss]
Bye, Max.
Bye, Ryan.
See you in school.
Yeah. [giggling]
Bye-bye. bye.
[Car engine starts]
* yes, now you're gone
* and from this moment on *
* I'll be crying
* crying
[clatters]
* crying
* yeah, crying...
[Grunts] cry--aah!
Gee! Patrick. Heh.
I told you not to do that anymore.
Sorry. must have been some date.
Oh, it was. What's all the hubbub, bub?
G-men! that's all the hubbub, bub.
Oh! I'm in trouble, Patrick. I got a real problem.
Man, that's what I'm trying to tell you--
I was expecting nothing, but she's really wonderful.
I could look at her face the rest of my life.
The rest of your life may not add up to much, pal.
And she likes me, too, no question about it.
Do the words "statutory rape"
ring a bell?
Hey, I was a perfect gentleman.
And believe me, it wasn't easy.
You should have jumped her
while you're still a free man.
Come on, I gotta show you something.
[Whispering] come on, get up.
Get up.
Come on. [Clang]
Shh!
[Pants]
Look.
Bakey! shh! get down!
Right now, there's 2 dozen
Ephraim zimablist jrs eating cheese and crackers
in my living room.
You never saw so much polyester
in such a confined space.
What are they doing here?!
You're such a smart guy.
Where are you getting all your money from?
Uh...there's a bank machine
over on-- [Snaps fingers]
Oh my god, the bank machine!
It's all in the computer! Ohh!
Luckily for you, they're looking for Andrew,
not Max.
Yeah. I guess the present accommodations
just aren't gonna do it.
I got that covered. Come on.
Lead on, Rambo.
[Crickets chirping]
[Patrick beatboxing]
Max: * cryin'
* over you
* cryin'
* over you
Patrick...
That's not a rap song.
I don't believe this. You got keys to this joint?
Patrick: well, my mom's the school nurse.
I got the run of the place.
You might find this amazing, Patrick,
but there was a time when i wanted to be a teacher.
As a matter of fact, that's what it said
in my first high-school yearbook.
Really?
Why would someone wanna work so hard
and get paid so little?
Oh, the money's not that important.
This school really got to you.
I mean, you're delirious. Heh.
Well, uh, look, i better get back
before the g-men start asking questions.
Oh, by the way, Dr. gusick's office--
yeah, the shrink? Right.
He's got a really nice couch--
I mean, plush naugahyde. You can sleep there.
I know. I spent some time on it last week.
Well, here.
You gonna be ok?
Yeah.
Thanks, Patrick.
* cryin'
* over you
* cryin'
[sighs]
Ha!
The doctor is out.
[Sighs]
Testing. [echoing]
Hee hee hee. [Mic squeaks]
Heh heh heh.
Calling all cars. Calling all cars.
Be on the lookout for a white male Caucasian,
age unknown.
[Laughs]
This is president Maxwell
coming to you live from the oval office.
And I don't have a pass.
Teachers, where are your passes?
Where are your passes?
[Laughs]
Wow!
[Bell ringing]
[Indistinct chattering]
Boy: hey, brother, wait up, man!
Teachers, I want to see some changes around here.
Now, class--way too long.
Come on, you can sort out the major points
in 15 minutes. Be real.
Out goes the dress code.
[Toilet flushing]
Well, he wants to take his time.
He's romantic. I think it's sweet.
I don't think it's sweet. I think it's suspicious.
Aah! aah!
Ow.
All: I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under god, indivisible,
with Liberty and justice for all.
Uh, we'll have the venison and the pheasant, please.
Ok, let's talk for a moment about roaches.
Can we get the shop class to start building a few motels?
We have a real problem here.
Thank you. You approve?
[Giggling] yes.
Pierre, the wine list, please.
And in the future, report cards
will be given by students to teachers.
Spanish teacher: Lista...
Students: lista...
De las... De las.. .
Cosas... cosas...
Chorus of men: * yeah
and that's just the beginning.
I am for progressive education...
So, watch out.
Ha ha ha!
[Pop music playing]
* ow! Ow! Ow!
Whoa--unh!
* ow! Ow! Ow!
Oh, shit!
[Panting]
What are you doing sneaking around in here?
Wait, you're the, uh...
You're the janitor. Heh!
Custodial engineer-- ezzard Williams.
And you're mad Max.
I've seen you in here every night for weeks, boy.
This is a high school, not a holiday inn.
Tell me about it. Heh.
Whoa, ezzard. Uh...
Got any more of that stuff?
Heh. oh, hell, come on.
I ain't supposed to be in here, either.
[Both chuckle]
You're pretty cool on these things, boy.
Thanks.
So...
You're an ex boxer, huh?
You don't get a nose like this
mopping high-school hallways. Hmm.
There, that's one of me--
sparring with hurricane Jackson,
steel pier,
Atlantic city, New Jersey.
Heh heh.
Still got the fast hand. [Imitating punches]
Heh heh. Quick combination--
hey, wait, wait.
Ha ha! All right.
But I had to quit the ring.
Tried working the corner--
didn't dig that stuff.
But you find other things to do.
Ahh.
One thing I can smell with all of this
is bullshit--
hiding out, sneaking around,
tearing down your own posters.
I've been watching you.
Now, who are you, boy?
[Sighs]
Well, ezzard...
You are looking...
At a wanted man.
[Ice cube clinks]
Hmm. you don't say.
You don't get a nose like this
breaking stocks.
I'm a stockbroker, damn it!
What is in this stuff? This has a lot of proof in it.
These...these
high-school kids-- have you noticed this?
They're so... Am I crazy?
They seem so...Young.
Heh heh! You're the guy
they're looking for in the newspaper,
from up there in Boston.
Ha ha! You're him!
How you like that?
I don't. Ha ha ha!
[Clunk]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Laughing] ha ha ha!
Here's to you, Max...
Or whoever you are.
[Ezzard laughs]
Ezzard, ezzard, ho ho ho!
Why are you living here?
Don't these people pay you?
Sure, but I'm moving next year.
My buddy ray and me,
we gonna open us a doughnut franchise
in San Diego, California.
Oh, yeah? Yeah,
a doughnut castle. Heh.
Ohh. ah, look-- whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, boy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ray is already out there, so,
I'm trying to save up my money.
How do you got it invested?
In a savings account.
A pass book?
Yeah.
Oh, ezzard! We gotta sit you down, dude.
There's stocks, bonds, high yield c.D.S,
American drainpipe. Ohh, man.
Don't you worry about me. Come on.
Oh, I don't like giving stock tips, anyway.
Where are we going?
You can pretty well set yourself up in here
and not worry about being seen.
Thanks, ezzard.
[Plop]
[Sniffs]
I used to sleep like a lump of coal in here.
Good night, ezzard.
Heh heh heh.
American drainpipe.
Yeah, Max, American drainpipe.
[Indistinct chattering in distance]
Ezzard: hey, I've been reading all the stock pages
you've been leaving around. It's interesting.
Hey, mack. Hey, I'm talking to you.
What's the matter?
I don't believe it.
Ahern--they brought him to the stand
and he refused to answer any of their questions.
He clammed up.
What? cat got his tongue?
Yeah... a cat named kapados.
[Glasses plop]
[Sighs]
Patrick: yo, Max!
Hey, hey, Maxwell, guess what?
You are not the only one with a date.
Oh...yeah, that's great.
By then I'll have it--
I'll have my driver's permit!
Wake up, Max! This is major shit.
It was so simple.
I just go the girl on the line and said,
"yo, baby, you and me Friday night--
be there." Period. She said yes.
It was unbelievable.
Hey, check out the do, Max.
Clinton went to work on my head.
Ha ha! You like?
Oh, yeah. It's great.
Listen, man, I'm out of here.
I got some serious campaigning to do. Later, man.
[Birds chirping]
Hey, what's the problem?
Patrick, I can't take this anymore.
What are you talking about?
Hey, you are Mr. popularity, man.
Everyone's gonna be out there voting for you.
I keep thinking about Rodriguez and Pratt.
I haven't slept in weeks.
Take my advice-- just start boning up
for the s.A.T.S.
[Bell ringing]
[Indistinct chattering]
Mr. o'roarke? I'd like a word with you.
Boy: wait up.
What do you think?
Do you expect to win Tuesday?
Uh...i've got my doubts.
Good old Clinton's been all over school
drumming up support for Max.
Oh, you never know.
Support can come from very unexpected quarters.
I'm the chairperson of the tellers committee.
We count the ballots.
Uh, Mrs. billings-- now,
I would love to chat with you, but...
I have so-called parent conferences
all afternoon.
It's nice of you, Mrs. billings, really,
but I don't wanna-- honey,
save the gratitude.
Man on P.A.: All students who have failed to return
their signed insurance waiver
please see Mr. lessig
in the driver's ed office immediately.
I've just put the kettle on.
You can come right through here.
Oh, thank you.
You would call immediately
if you were to hear from Andrew,
wouldn't you?
Did you say you wanted tea?
Did you, Mrs. morenski?
Hear from him?
It's important, please, think.
Did I...Oh, yes!
He did call.
Very good.
Now can you tell me when?
Did he say where he was?
Oh, honeyboy said that he was in his office.
That's downtown on state street.
He's got his own window.
What do you call him?
Honeyboy. no, no, look,
he hasn't been in his office for weeks.
Inspector...what was the name again?
Richardson.
Did I tell you that i knew a Richardson once
when I lived in, uh, hm...
Where was it?
Providence, i believe.
Frankie Richardson.
I was very young.
[Kettle whistling]
Andrew... when did he call?
Oh, it wasn't Andrew.
I have other grandchildren.
It must have been, uh...
I can't recall now.
I'll just get the tea.
All these photos of your family?
Yes, yes, they are.
Are they close by?
I hardly ever see them.
What's that thing called?
Whiplash.
That looks really uncomfortable.
It is.
Look, Mr. lessig,
maybe this isn't the best time
for me to take my test.
Get in.
Start your engine.
[Motor starts]
[Grinds]
[Laughing and shouting]
Do you think that maybe we could at least
talk about this a little?
Kevin, we've said all there is to say.
Haven't we?
No, Ryan, what's with you?
I've never seen you act like this before.
Ryan...
Te--
Ryan, look, I'm tellin' ya.
You're actin' like an idiot
behavin' like this.
Because we're not going out anymore?
No, because you trust hauser, don't you?
Yeah, so what?
Yeah, so where's he from?
I happened to be in the office yesterday,
and I looked up a couple of things.
You what?
Where'd he tell you he was from?
He's from Boston.
That's not what it said in his file.
It said he was from Texas.
Well, they made a mistake!
Kevin, I can't believe you spied on him.
Hey, Ryan, all I'm tellin' you
is you better not trust the guy.
I know somethin's funny.
I checked my mirror, i did everything right...
Theoretically...
I wish there was just some way
I could talk to ahern.
You know, maybe see what happened.
My life is over.
My life isn't in that terrific shape,
either.
[Sighs] i know my bathroom cabinet.
There's no razor, no valium, nothing.
There's a full jar of chewable flintstones.
It's a large jar. Patrick!
Come on, what kind of problem is this?
Cool it, ok?
I waited 10 years for this day.
So you can take it again.
Sure, just like that.
Listen, I got serious problems, all right?
To you they're serious.
You know, you're always such a wise guy,
everything with you is a joke.
Everythi--everything is negative.
You know, you spend so much time
worrying about yourself.
Who are you worrying about, Maxwell?
Oh, no, it's a little different,
nobody's trying to kill you.
All right, all right, forget it, all right.
You got your troubles, and I got mine, ok?
Ok, so why don't you
have a little perspective and maybe grow up a little.
Me grow up?
I'm not the one pretending to be a kid.
I'm not the one running away from something.
You think my life is so easy.
You don't know anything about my life.
Oh, I used to be exactly like you.
Right, used to be,
now you're the average, middle-aged guy
running for senior class president.
Seducing a girl half your age.
Oh--w--
yeah, and it's easy for you to tell billings
to go eat shit. The rest of us
have to worry about graduating.
By the way, i don't exactly live
to do your homework.
Ok, wait, let's get something straight here.
I am not middle-aged.
Fine!
Let's get something else straight,
you're not the one who almost killed
their driving instructor,
and then drove a brand new dodge
broadside into a whole Van full of nuns.
I did.
[Laughs and sputters]
Nuns. ha ha...
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you failed your test.
I'm sorry about a lot of things.
God, I hated high school the first time.
Now I know why.
Well, at least we agree on something.
You know what, let me give you a little advice
about your date tonight, ok?
Forget about Leslie, just have a good time.
What's she supposed to do?
Ride on my handlebars?
No, this is humiliating.
Meet her at the movies then.
No, no, this is bad.
Patrick...
All right, all right,
I'm sorry. Hey! What about you?
What's your problem? Anything I can do?
Well, I'm almost 30,
and I'm still in high school,
and I hate it.
But I love Ryan.
And I want kapados convicted,
but I don't want to die.
Well, you're basically screwed.
Thanks.
Oh, and, uh...
Good luck tonight.
You, too.
[Birds chirping]
Max...
Did you really
lose your parents in an accident?
I wouldn't make up something like that.
I didn't think you would.
Do you believe a person has more than one life?
Reincarnation?
I don't know, I never really thought about it.
I wonder...I mean, if they're back.
Where they'd be.
Your parents.
I bet someplace warm.
And peaceful.
[Chuckles]
That's really funny that you would
say that because, uh...
When I was, uh...
Oh, I guess i had to be about 4.
They took me on a vacation, and,
uh, there's a picture of me and them,
and it's really...
Really one of the last things
I remember about when they were alive.
They took me swimming around the shore,
and, uh...
There was all this coral and...
You're very beautiful.
Ohh...what's the matter?
[Sighs]
I keep wondering who you are.
Why you don't give me your phone number.
Why you'd never show me where you live.
Max, where do you go when you go home?
Home.
Ok, you wanna see where I live?
Come on. I'll show you.
Come on.
First I stayed at Patrick's.
Then here.
Max, you could have said something.
No...
No, I couldn't.
The people that are after me want me dead.
I was afraid to tell you,
I was--i was afraid I might...
Put you in danger.
They're still out there looking.
Everything i said to you...
Everything... Max said...
Was from my heart.
Andrew's heart.
What are you gonna do?
[Sighs]
I can't hide here forever.
My grades aren't that good.
Oh, Andrew.
Not just a car full of nuns...
A whole Van full of nuns.
I mean, the sisters were pretty cool,
but lessig...Insane.
Die, lessig.
Eat shit and die.
That's not him,
that must be her other grandson.
Man: shall we follow him?
Killer: yeah, could be going to see morenski.
I'm going into town.
So you didn't want to see the ending?
I hated that movie. It was disgusting.
I know, that's what I liked about it.
I thought the decapitation was totally realistic.
Please...
[Sighs] what now?
Uh, food?
I can't believe you can eat after that.
Besides I'm on a diet.
Well, that explains the small diet coke
and the large milkduds.
Look, you're not having a bad time are you?
I know where we should go.
The train yard.
The train yard...
That's deserted.
Oh, the train yard.
It's deserted!
Heh heh heh.
Shit.
What?
Look, I don't have my...
Alpha. it's in the shop, i should've never bought
an Italian sports--
it's ok. We can take mine.
This is yours?
My dad's.
He's in Hawaii till Sunday.
Eh, bye-bye.
He just lets you borrow his Jeep?
Not exactly.
Let's forget about the train yard.
Let's go to your house.
Fine with me, Patrick.
Here, you drive.
I failed lessig's final,
and I don't even have a learner's permit.
Heh.
That's a darn shame.
[Chuckling]
It looks like a stick.
I think.
Oh, check out this sound system.
[Pop music playing]
So, did ya...
Do you ever think about wearing contacts?
My parents have a jacuzzi.
How do you work the lights
in this thing?
[Engine starts] It's um--
oh, oh!
Oh!
Uhh!
[Transmission grinding]
[Tires squeaking]
Aah!
[Engine revving]
[Tires squeal]
[Giggles]
I can't see a thing,
and I put my glasses down a second ago.
I can't--
don't worry.
I'm doing fine, trust me.
Ehh...
2 hands--
it's a waste of an entire hand.
I had no idea you were such a confident driver.
Uh-huh.
[Horn blaring]
Uh...
Y-you just can't see a thing, huh?
Well, everything past 3 inches
in front of my face is a total blur.
Patrick: heh.
No kidding, a total blur, ha.
[Tires squeal]
Why are you stopping?
[Groans]
Patrick?
Uhh.
[Sprays]
We're gonna do a little test.
You tell me when you can see me.
[Both gasp]
Hiya, chief, I hear
they're announcing the winners tomorrow.
Yeah, can I have a coffee please?
Extra black?
And a pack of marlboros, hard box.
Doll, you look like crud.
Yeah, that's me. President crud.
Kevin's in the back.
He don't look too happy.
Ma'am, when you have a chance...
That's a nice shot.
Hey, I wanna talk to you outside.
Oh, I'd like that.
You, uh, need to have
your whole entourage with you?
However you want it.
[All talking trash]
So what happened with the kid?
He's off with some bimbo.
My instincts are usually very solid.
Morenski's gotta be in this town somewhere.
[Door squeaks]
Here I am.
I'm sorry.
What are you talkin' about?
I'm sorry.
I didn't want anything to do with your election.
Screw that election.
I'm talkin' about how you moved on Ryan.
I'm sorry about that, too, ok?
I'm not even gonna be seeing her anymore.
I'm droppin' out.
What are you talkin' about, Max?
Just call her, ok?
And when you do, don't treat her
like a piece of real estate.
Just listen to her.
Hey, don't tell me what to do.
Hands off.
Where you goin', Max?
I wanna know what she said.
What'd she tell you about me, Max?
She said you were a pretty decent guy.
Good luck in the election tomorrow.
I hope to god you win.
[Pool balls clacking]
Man: come on, let's go.
Yeah, sure.
Um, excuse me, um, there was a young man
sitting here-- Maxwell?
That's right--Maxwell.
Uh, did you see where he went?
Honey, they come in and go out.
Couldn't have left more than 3 or 4 minutes ago.
You got no idea which way he was headed?
Sorry, sweetie,
I serve 'em and off they go.
See, look, I'm an old friend of his--
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stay here.
[Marching band playing]
Principal: would everybody kindly
take their seats, please?
Everybody sit down.
You people over there.
Sit down. Everybody down.
Everybody, down, come on, now!
Boy: come on, sit down, you guys!
How 'bout a big round of applause for the girls.
Yeah, Max for president!
Yeah, Max! Ha ha ha!
Principal: all right,
could I have some quiet, please?
Hey, Max!
Principal: now, the order of the day.
It's time to announce the new senior class officers.
[Cheering]
All of your ballots have been cast.
Girl: way to go!
And you've made your decisions.
Final tabulation's been made by our tellers committee.
Can we have a big round of applause for them?
Cheer 'em on.
[Booing]
Girl: boo, Mrs. billings!
Treasurer,
can I have the envelopes, please, Mrs. billings?
[Whistling and cat calls]
Thank you.
The winner is for treasurer.
Victoria Bradley.
[Cheering]
Principal: congratulations, Victoria.
For vice-president...
Your new vice-president is
Douglas roan. How 'bout it?
[Cheering]
Douglas...
There's a lot of kids in there.
At the moment,
I'm only interested in one kid.
Principal: finally,
topsail's new senior class president.
Could we have some quiet, please?
[Cheering continues]
It was a very, very close race.
But the winner is...
Kevin o'roark!
[Cheering and booing]
Say a few words, Kevin.
Max: congratulations!
Say a few words, Kevin.
All right.
Kevin: thank you.
As my first official action
as your new senior class president...
I think I'd like to demand a recount.
What? a recount.
Wait a minute, you can't do that.
Yeah, as a matter of fact,
I think we can do it right now.
Everyone here who voted for me,
could you just raise your hand, please?
[Audience muttering]
Thanks.
And now how many for Max?
Kevin: come on up here, Max.
Andrew!
Kevin: come on up here!
There's your real president.
Andrew!
Please...
Please, I'm not the person you think I am.
[Grunting]
[Gunshot]
Get down!
Down, everybody! Get down!
[Screaming] get down!
Aah! get--
I thought I was the only one that wanted to kill you.
Take a number.
[Grunting]
Easy, Max!
Andrew, you're pushing it.
You know, you're a piss-poor hit man.
You seem a little nervous.
What kind of a--
what kind of a sniper is afraid of heights?
What's your name?
You know my name, what's yours?
How much is kapados payin' you, anyway?
You know what Freud says
about people who play with guns?
They have little dicks.
[Grunting and yelling]
Aah! Max!
Ow!
Aah!
[Screaming]
Aah!
[All scream]
Girl: oh, my god.
[Sirens approaching]
Bailiff: state your name for the court.
Andrew morenski.
And do you, Andrew morenski,
swear to tell the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,
so help you god?
I do.
Mr. breach, your witness.
Thank you, your honor.
Mr. morenski,
how well do you recall the first time
you met the defendant,
Mr. Victor kapados?
Andrew: very well.
In your own words,
would you describe for the court
the circumstances of that meeting.
Mr. ahern, Mr. Rodriguez, and I were at our offices.
I-i believe it was in...
Andrew.
Make it short.
You have a plane to catch.
I'll wait over here, Andrew.
I have to go away for a little while, grammy.
They wouldn't tell me where.
Yeah, I know, that's, uh...
That's one of the rules.
Well, it's a bad rule. I'm your grandmother.
I can't tell you where.
But they let me have a little bit of a say
in the decision so...
So I'll be fine.
No more trading stocks.
No.
No, but, uh...
[Exhales]
But that may not be such a terrible thing.
Your parents would be so proud.
And you already know how I feel.
Good-bye, honeyboy.
Be good...
[Laughing and talking]
[Horn blares]
[Engine revs]
We're gonna bust a move in a serious--
you know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, Patrick!
Clinton, guy,
this is my new set of wheels.
Patrick, my man, get in here.
Yo, that's a live ride.
Whoo!
Check that out.
All right, all right, picture time, let's go.
On 3--1, 2, 3!
Bust a move!
[Shutter clicking]
[Tower bells tolling]
Hi.
I'm getting my teaching degree.
My s.A.T. Scores were not very good,
but I had a few friends in the justice department.
I know this is a little strange.
A little strange?
It's a lot strange.
Yeah, well, uh, I've been here a while
tryin' to figure out how to talk to you.
So, uh, are you still seein' that, uh, g--
Kevin? yeah.
No, that was high school.
I followed the trial.
I'm really glad you're ok, Max--
Andrew.
Oh, wait.
You stay right there.
Let's start all over again.
Hi, I'm Eddie Collins.
Nice to meet you.
Uh, I'm new here. May I?
Oh, thanks.
Ha ha--Eddie Collins?
It's just a name.
Is that the best you could come up with?
It sounds so fake.
Shh.
It is.
So, Eddie...
How do you like college?
You know...
It's much better the second time.
