He's gonna get you! Good, he's dead.
It's semiconscious Keith. Hi, Ugly.
- Hi, honey. How was work?- All right.
- When are you gonna cut your hair?- I got it cut, Mom.
Mom, you're flapping your lips in vain. Keith vacated.
Keith! Keith, is that you?
- Yep.- I've been checking out colleges.
Dad, you're going to college?
That's great.
If I'd gone to college, I wouldn't be selling tyres six days a week.
That's what you're gonna be doing if you don't get with the program.
Come here. Take a look a these. A bunch of new ones came in the mail today.
Co-ed Phys Ed!
Can I do this later?
Jesus, Keith...
- I'm not trying to break your back, pal.- I know.
I just want you get off the dime and think about your future.
You get a shoot to be the first guy in this family
who didn't have to wash his hands after day's work.
Co-ed Phys Ed!
Hey.
I'm looking for that song about the guy that killed himself for the girl that hated him?
Do you know what song I'm talking about?
Do you understand the concept of the word "privacy"?
Yes, I do.and that's why I never let anyone in my room.
Get out of here before I throw your ass out my window.
- God, are you in a nice mood today.- I said, get out here.
Is this a side effect of being massively unliked, or what?
I get a black and blue mark,you're dead!
Mom!
Look at it. See what he did to me?
Get your head out of the light.
Sweetheart, I can't see anything.
Mom, then you need some glasses.
At this point,If I wanted to lie out,I could not wear a bathing suit.
You know,Exposing your skin to sunlight will make you old before your time
and eventually you'll look like an albino raisin.
- Thank you, Cindy.- My pleasure.
Stay out of his room.
And you see me if you have a problem before you start roughing her up.
What right does she have to break into my room? And I did not rough her up.
I have practically no feeling left in the upper part of my arm.
Drop it.
You know, that suggests a circulatory problem.
See，I'd put more fibre into my diet but less time on the phone.
- Shut up, please.- It's my pleasure.
I wish just once you guys could experience the humiliation...
of having the weirdest guy in a huge school be a blood relative.
I think Your father said drop it.
This family revolves around Keith.and I'm sick of it.
Laura, that is absolutely not true,and you know it.
Excuse me.
Keith, Honey,you haven't finished your dinner.
You know, I don't think I've had a balanced meal here.I think I'm missing one|of the important food groups.
Hey, Keith, what about these colleges?I expect an answer.
Did you get your eight essential vitamins today?
Are you aware of how close that was?Come on, Mr. Sunshine.
Skill beyond skill.
Technique.
Imagine what I can do when I get my driver's licence back.
Hey. Where... Don't you have any books?
- No, not on me. I forgot 'em.- You never study.
You must be getting heat from the old man about college again.
It's all he thinks about.
Well, it's probably better to have an old man nagging you about your future...
than no old man not nagging you about nothing.
Things aren't too great at home, huh?
Hey, it don't matter.As long as you stand by me, I'm covered.
- Where would I be without you?- Seeing as I drive you here every day,
you'd probably be at home asleep in bed.
Do you mind?
Very much so.
I think it's hip you paint.I think it's hip I drum.
Hip!
It's perfect that we're friends.You know, I'm beginning to think...
Pardonnez-moi.
Pardonnez-moi? Pardonnez-moi.
Merci.
That's original. How long you been pulling that one?
Watts.
How long have you been a lesbian?
Excuse me?
I think you have a bit too much up front to be a guy, so you must be a lesbian.
I beg your pardon?
You know, too much breastage here.
- Hey!- You faggot.Come on!
That's enough! Break it up!
That's enough!
- Animal.- Clear out.
Wimp.
Sweetheart...
See, wait a minute, okay?they jumped me. Why don't you nail them? I didn't do anything.
Those aren't mine.
Oh, man. That's just for show. I don't...
Those were a gift from... your wife.
You just got detention, mister.
- For what? For what?- Come on.We'll talk about it in detention hall.
What's this?
- Isabella of Spain.- Women who rule! Are we getting feisty?
- Yo! Are you sitting down?- No, I'm walking down the hall.
- Right. I've got some bad news for you.- What?
It's unconfirmed but I got it from a reliable source.- What?
I think your father's in school.
- Has Keith decided on a school yet?- Well, we're zeroing in on a few.
He indicated to me that he was interested in a couple of art schools.
I don't think that's gonna happen.
Comes out of an art school, what's he qualified to do?
I'm looking for a good business programme.I think he has a good head for business.
Well, the indications I've gotten are that he's more... creatively inclined.
Fine. But we're looking for a business school.
He can be creative in his spare time. How's he doing otherwise?
__Fine.__
Grades holding up OK?
Very well.
_Well, thanks for the help._
Call me any time you have a question.
- I will. Thank you. I appreciate it.- You're welcome.
Keith Nelson.
Could I ask you a question about number five on...
...page three?
__Hi, honey!__
_Could I go to the nurse?_
Trust is the basis of any relationship.
__I trust you.__
Now I want you to stay close,but not too close.
__You back off when I say, OK?__
Do both your parents work? Yeah?
Maybe I'll stop by after school one day this week.
Hi.
Amanda.
-Hi.-
Want to go to your place?
- What's wrong?- Do you mind?
I wanna know what's wrong.
She's a friend of my little sister. Her brother was in a bad car accident. She's a little upset.
I know you're coming. Why would I be trying to make it with another girl?
How can you be so beautiful and so insecure at the same time?
Trust is the basis of any relationship.
I trust you.
I want to give you this.
I'll get the car and I'll meet you out front.
Hey! Whoa! Don't. That belongs to the slumlord that owns this place.
It's his pride and joy.
It's pretty sick.
How does it feel to stand under a real Mercedes-Benz?
The same as standing under a Ford.Why? You get off on it?
Can I ask you a question? Do you know a girl named Amanda Jones?
In school?
- What about her？- What do you think of her?
- Rat bait. Why?- Just curious.
- What about?- Her. Who she is.
Because she's beautiful, right? Guys are so sickening.
Really, It must be a drag to be a slave to the male sex drive.
I didn't say anything about sex.
Oh. Want to start a book club with her?
I didn't say I wanted to do anything.I just think she's interesting.
Don't mistake paradise for a pair of long legs.
What's that mean?
Don't go roaming where you don't belong.
I express an interest in someone I don'teven know and you're getting tense.
This is not tension, this is reason.
The way this girl and her big-money,cruel-heart society spit on everyone
is not interesting, it's pathetic.
She's not big money.Know where she lives?
Yeah. In our sector.
But she runs with the rich and beautiful, which is guilt by association.
So... this is getting stale.
You calling out for food?
No. You can call if you want.
Don't you ever eat at home?
I... I don't like to eat alone.
Amanda Jones?
Forget about it. It's nothing.It's not important.
You couldn't score her in a million years.
A: You're too shy and closed up to even approach her,
B: She'd kill you.
Chicks like her have one thing on their mind and you don't make enough of it to matter to her.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
Yeah, but you can tell how much it'll cost.
That's deep.
You want shallow, call Amanda Jones.
Speak of the she-devil.
Could you fill it up? Super unleaded.
- Check the oil.- Could you turn off the engine, please?
My pleasure.
Hey. Be nice or I'll make you check the tyres.
So this is what you do for a living, huh?
I'm sorry, my hand slipped.
- Cut it out.- Mind your own business.
- So you like looking at my girlfriend?- Shut up.
What?He likes looking at you.
Sorry.
I'd recommend you keep your eyes and your mind off my property.
Here's ten for the gas and ten for the look.
Amanda Jones, right this way,please.
I'd Excusing yourself from class
and leaving school grounds with the boy with the hot car
buys you two weeks of morning detention.
Well,We were just talking.
If all you wanted was talk, you could have got that without leaving school.
What are you saying?Mrs. Albright?
Nothing that hasn't been said before.Get inside.
- Get inside. Read my lips. Go.- It's not fair.
Welcome.
This... Is this detention?
Actually, it's your mother's house,and we're all having a party.
You really shouldn't cut classes,even if it's just gym class.
It's incredibly nice of you not to make me sit with those guys.
It felt weird being the only girl.
I suppose it wouldn't matter if you served out your detention in my office.
Oh, well, I had a better idea.
I was wondering if I wouldn't have to serve detention at all
if I promise I'd never do it again.
We'll keep this between you and me.
You're incredibly sweet, Mr Sauner,and I love the way you wear your hair.
- Really?- Yeah, it's great. All the girls say it.
- No.- Yeah!
You're the best Driver's Ed teacher.
Thank you.
- Thanks very much.- Sure. Bye-bye, Amanda.
Bye.
Amanda Jones doesn't know you,doesn't care about you.
You're trying to jerk off the impossible.
How many times do I have to listen to myself tell you this? I don't know.How many times?
Do you know what kind of guy Hardy is?
Handsome, rich, muscular, popular,
hot, happening...and capable of reducing your head to a crimson stain on the wall.
Hardy's a jerk. He screws around on her, he has no respect for her...
Obviously she gets off on it.
You're losing it. And when it's lost,all you are is a loser.
You bviously have no idea how I feel, so why don't you just butt out of this, please?
I know how you feel.
Oh, you do, really?You've been in love before?
There's a lot of things you don't know about me.
Really?
Who have you ever been in love with?Huh?
You want to abuse yourself, go ahead.
Hey, Watts, nothing ventured,nothing gained. Right?
Keith...
Once a fool, always a fool. Right?
Are those boys' underpants?
Yeah. So?
So, I've just never seen a girl wearing boys' underpants before.
You ever seen a girl with a drumstick shoved up her nose?
- Is that some kind of a threat?- Some kind of a warning.
I'm petrified. Really.
Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine. I've done this before.
There's Amanda.
Hi.
- Hardy, I've had enough of this. - What?
If you were more of a person you'd be enough for two girls, but you're not.
Yeah? Well,This jealousy crap is getting a bit tedious.
Well, you won't have to deal with it any more.
- What does that mean?- Get out of my way.
No. Not until we straighten this out.
It's not gonna work any more, Hardy.
Yeah? You walk out on me,where you gonna go?
Amanda?
You got... You got a minute?
Hello.
- Hi.- Hi. What do you want?
Well...
I... wanted to know if maybe you wanted to go out...
...with me.
But if it's too difficult a time,
I... I understand. I...
You're asking me out on a date?
- Bye.- Bye!
- So what did he want?- He asked me out.
- What did you say?- I said yes.
She's just mad.
Why are you smiling?
I wasn't aware I was smiling,but if it bothers you, I can stop.
You haven't smiled much lately.I was curious about the change.
Well, I haven't had that much to smile about, Clifford.
- You have a beautiful smile,young man.- Thank you, Carol.
She's Mom. I'm Dad. And you're nuts.
This is not true. It can't be.
This has got to be the most hilarious rumour ever floated. Right?
What are you talking about?
In town last night, I hear everyone was talking about how Keith asked this girl out.
- No way.- Check it out.
This girl is popular, beautiful,
and obviously in the middle of some emotional shoot-out
to consent to date the human Tater Tot.
What did you do to her?Threaten her life?
I just asked her out.
Her boyfriend's a man,for Christ's sake.
He's extensively easy on the eyes,he's a total buck, and you're...
...you're Keith.
Is she nice?
Mother, the girl is sex.
For God's sakes, I'm eating!
Glad you've got time to think about girls.
Between the girls and your art kick,You don't have time to think about anything important.
You'll be dead before you apply to college.
Ease up, Dad.Any fool can get into college.
Only a precious few may say the same about Amanda Jones.
Am I wrong?
Carol...
Mom, what kind of milk is this?
If you don't like the milk, drink the juice.
Did you see that brochure, Keith?
That's what my girlfriend would look like without skin.
Yeah. That's...
And while we're on the topic of double-breasted parties machine, congratulations on your latest coup.
You know about Amanda Jones?
You think I live here? I have a personal life, too. How did you swing that one?
I don't know, Duncan. I asked her out.She said yes. It worked.
Any time somebody from the outside lifts a woman from a gwat like Jenns,
we can all find cause to rejoice.I'm proud of you.
- Gwat?- A gwat. Punch her apron for me.huh?
- Do you want me to I kiss you or anything?- You want to die young?
- What kind of question is that?- Just sit here and shut up.
- You don't have a boyfriend, do you?- No.
See, a lot of guys I know think that you're...
What?
Confused. But I know it's just an act.Do you know how I know?
- Enlighten me.- Because you radiate this sexual vibe.
If you wanted to, you could be a girl,like that.
Ray, this is 1987. Did you know that a girl can be whatever she wants to be?
- I know. My mom's a plumber.- That explains a lot about you.
I have an enormous amount of respect for her.
Just sit here and act like you like me.
OK. That'll be absolutely no problem.
Hello.
- Keith. Hi. What's up?- Are you busy?
No, we were just talking.
What?
'Cause I'd like to borrow your car.
If you have something to do, I can come back and pick you up in an hour.
Well,Where are you going?
I'd like to give Amanda a ride home.
By the way, congratulations, dude.She's smokin'!
Thanks.
Is that OK?
I'd appreciate a couple of bucks for gas.
Sure. Is...I'll come back in about an hour?
It's just time,not like it means anything.
Thanks.
- So you got to wait around an hour?- If I want to.
Do you know how much damage we could do to each other in an hour?
It's kind of a revolting thought, actually.
Really? What's revolting mean?
- Oh, my God. Get your hands off me.- Do you want to come over?
For spring break?Are you out of your mind?
That's it. I'm taking you to Aspen.
Amanda. Hello.
W-would you like a ride home?
Well, I'm going home with Shayne.
Shayne, this is Keith.
Keith, Shayne.
Hello.
Hi.
Well, I was hoping we could talk.
Why don't you call me?
OK.
Why don't you go with him?
OK. I'm sorry. Where's your car?
- Well, I'll... I'll pull around.- OK.
Thanks a lot.
- What?- You made me look really stupid!
This is the perfect opportunity to back out. Tell him you're back with Hardy.
I'm not back with Hardy.
Tell him the truth, that you used him.
I didn't use him.
You didn't use him to get away from Hardy?
It wasn't deliberate. I was mad and he stepped in. It was bad circumstances.
OK, regardless, the longer you wait to kill it, the worse it's gonna be.
You saw his face.He's completely deluded.
Unless you're really interested in him.
Please, please.
The car won't start.
Well... Wait.
Shayne. Shayne!
Look, I gotta get home.I really do. I'm sorry.
No, I understand. It's fine. It's fine.
I'll see you later.
Can I have a ride?
What happened to Prince Charming?
Keith! Come on.
You mean... It's OK?
Come on!
- There's no door.- Get in.
- So where are we going?- Home. Oh...
- Where's that?- D Street.
It's around the corner...under the bridge from my house.
Those are nice earrings.
Oh, thank you. They're not mine.I borrowed them from Shayne.
They're real.
Tell him.
What?
Amanda,Isn't there something you wanted to say to... Sorry, what's your name?
- Keith.- Oh, yeah. Keith.
- You want to back out of the date?- No.
I mean,If you want out, I'll understand.
I wouldn't have asked you out if I didn't want to go.
I don't want out. Do you?
No.
That's my house, on the left.
- Thank you.- My pleasure.
- You OK?- Yeah.
Bye.
Thanks.
That was swift. I gave you a window to throw him out of and you went limp.
Maybe you can do that, but I can't,at least not in cold blood.
Well, then I guess you got yourself a new boyfriend.
Hi. guys.Did you come to see my brother?
Oh, my God.
-What? -No. I mean,we just dropped him home.
And he told you we live here?
He is so modest, he kills me.
I suppose he didn't mention anything about our ancestral estate in Scotland or our apartment in Paris.
or our apartment in Paris.So modest!
Hi, Ass Face.
- I just saw your girlfriend outside.- Did she say anything to you?
Well, That's for me to know and for you to find out.
- Mom!- Tell me!
Look...
How far are you going?
To the nearest gas station.
Wonderful. How far is that,Russia or something?
Don't worry. You're young.
Not any more. You'd better give me your phone number after this.
- How you doing?- All right.
- You nervous about something?- No.
- You look nervous.You okay?- No, I'm fine.
- Do you always come to school early?- No. Do you?
- Never.- So why today?
I wanted to talk to you.
- About...- Not about art.
Look，I'm totally cool with the situation.
I was looking for a way out with Amanda. You saved me a tough talk.
I'm supposed to believe this, right?
It's true. I don't want Amanda hating me. I don't want anybody hating me.
I'd appreciate it if you'd do me a favour.
On Saturday, I'd like you to swing by my place. I'm having a party.
- My parents are in Europe.- You're inviting me to your house?
Yeah. I invited a lot of people.Something wrong?
- I don't know. You tell me.- There's nothing wrong with my end.
You got an inferiority complex?
I've known Amanda a long time.and I'd like to keep it that way.
If it's too much to ask you to bring her to a party, sorry I asked.
- Put yourself in my position.- Put yourself in my position.
I'm big enough to invite my ex and the guy who stole her to a party.
You think this makes me look good?I've taken a lot of shit over this.
That's why I'm cautious about your motives.
I'll buy that. Come on.
It's a party.It's not the end of the world.
Well...
Are you being straight with me?
Do you see any reason at this point why I should play games?
- Well, I'll talk to Amanda, but...- I've talked to her. She's fine with it.
You talked to her? Really?
Well, we'll... We'll drop by then.
Good.
It wouldn't be the weirdest thing in the world if we turned out to be friends.
Yes, it would.
See you.
- Got a coat and tie?- No.
See you Saturday.
Since when Your parents let you go clubbing on school nights?
I'm waiting for Amanda.
Here? She's coming here?On a school night? Did I miss sth? Is there a new world order?
If you're gonna bug me and make me feel bad, can you do it later?
She said she'd meet you here?
Not in those words.
In any words?
- Maybe she didn't have ID.- Who doesn't have ID?
Maybe she doesn't like you as much as you think.
Maybe.
Do you miss not being around me?
This isn't the third grade any more.
She doesn't love you.It's a joke. It's all a joke.
- How do you know?- I'd bet my hands on it.
You don't want to make that bet.
Yeah, I do. I've been thinking a lot lately about you and me.
And I came to a conclusion that I didn't want to deal with.
But now I can't hide it any more.
I think we'd get along much better if we didn't spend so much time together.
Why?
Because I'm driving you crazy,and you're driving me crazy.
I'd rather not see you and have you think good things about me
than have you see me and hate me,
because I can't afford to have you hate me.
The only things I care about in this goddamn life are me and my drums
and you.
Adios.
Wait. Watts... Watts!
It's ten after. Miss Albright's gonna kill us.
Hi.
Get lost, Hardy.
You still mad at me?
- Can we talk? Please?- No.
- This is cute.- I want to talk to you.
Too late.
- I have been in agony over this.- I doubt it.
- How can I convince you I love you?- Start by leaving me alone. I'm late.
You're going out with low life to hurt me. It's working. It hurts.
So you want me to go to your house
so you can prove what a stud you are by beating him up?
- Where did you hear that?- Give me a little credit.
True, I invited him. Not to beat him up,to show you what a good loser I am.
You're not a good loser.You're just a loser, period
What is this?
I am talking to Amanda. Could I please have two minutes to finish? Thank you.
What is your name?
Do you mind?There's nothing here that I haven't seen before.
- Can I drive you home?- What is your name?
Hardy Jenns, with two "n"s.
That's it. Get out. Go on, out!
I really appreciate this, lady.Be a bitch, why don't you?
Consider yourself reported. Get out.
Amanda, your reputation's hanging in the balance.You play me around, and you're gonna have a real lonely year.
So I hear.
Look, I am not playing.Just get out of here.
Amanda, may I see you for a minute,please?
I'm his sister. If you're a brother or a sister, you're in.
It's like they have to accept you or the whole social structure caves in.
- Get to go to parties?- I'm probably going to the one Saturday at Hardy Jenns'.
Keith's bringing Amanda.We might double.
- Who'd go with you?- The choices are limitless.
- Can we go?- Eventually, if you stay cool.
- You're lying.- Really?
Yeah.
If you're so tight with Hardy's people,why aren't you over there with them?
- Because I'm here with you, twerp.- You're here because you're false.
- Is this a challenge or something?- Yeah.
Look, I was hanging with you fungi in a vain effort to cool you out,
but all I am getting is breeze,so c'eSt la vie.
She's a liar. Her brother loathes her. He'd never let her play with his rep.
Amanda has to bring him.What else can she do?
She can't take the pressure.
The party will go down as expected. Amanda will blow to her guy, we'll nail him.
Then we'll go back to business as usual. It's simple. All right?
Hey, Laura, what happened?They send you for beer?
I guess you wouldn't be you if you knocked before breaking in.
I'm sorry. I thought you wouldn't open up. I want to talk to you.
Well, this should be interesting.
I heard something today at the mall.
Hardy Jenns and his guys were talking about you.
What's your point, Laura?
Keith, it's a joke.
Amanda Jones, the date, the party.The whole thing.
It's a joke.
She's only going out with you so you'll go to Hardy's, so he can mess you up.
I heard Hardy say it.I heard him myself. It's true.
You're not kidding?
This is a joke?
Yeah.
Keith, I'm sorry...
...for everything.
- You're getting really good.- Thanks. I'm working on it.
Your brothers don't mind you playing this late?
I don't know. I never asked.To what do I owe this honour?
I got a problem. You know you told me the thing with Amanda was a joke?
Yeah.
Well... it is a joke.
You mean a joke as in a joke on you?
Yeah. Laura heard Hardy talking about it,
and Amanda's supposed to get me to Hardy's and they're gonna pound me.
It's good you found out.
- I'm not afraid of him.- You're gonna go through with this?
- I have to.- You think it's just Hardy?
No. If he's gonna get me,he's gonna get me.It doesn't have to be at this party.
He'll have lots of chances.I'm not gonna hide from him.
- Leave it alone.- I can't.
- Why?- Because I want to stand up to him.
Forget it. It's impossible.
Another year, you're gone.It's better to swallow pride than blood.
You don't think that. I don't believe for a second you think that.
I'm not giving in to them any more,not for another minute.
I get it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I was so tough on you.
Me too.
You always hurt the ones you love.
So, when are you beating the shit out of Amanda Jones?
Amanda!
When should I pick you up Saturday?
You have to check with your friends?
No, I just...
It's a simple question. When?
Pick me up any time.
7.30? If that's a problem, then call me.
- I hate Mexico. I like the Virgin Islands.- Hi.
- We're going to Aspen for Christmas.- I said hi.
Aspen's OK, but there isn't much to do at night.
- What is this?- It's mostly private parties.
I had a really good time last spring.
Spring is completely different.Spring there are more college people.
- What's in the Virgin Islands?- Are you kidding? A million guys!
- So this is it, right?- I'd go anywhere without the family.
Thanks.
I had my parents almost talked into letting me go to Ricky's place...
She's gone.
See ya.
- How does it feel carrying that cash?- A little uncomfortable.
Yeah. Want me to tell you again that you're crazy?
No.
You've hoarded that cash for years.How bad will your dad ream you?
You won't be able to measure with existing technology.
He's a miser?
No. It's just important to him that I go to college.
- Because he didn't go.- Exactly.
I just rag on you about your parents and family because I'm jealous.
It gotta feel good to have him looking out for you.
Sometimes.
- He's still gonna kill you, right?- Yeah.
Is it her body or her face?
Amanda?
I don't know. It's everything.
My grandmother told me when I grow up I'd have big boobs.
- What happened?- I don't know. I guess I got lucky.
Keith?
Hey. Got some great news today, pal.
You know those T-bills at the B of A at six and three-quarter percent?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- They're at seven.- That's great.
You know what that means? You're earning an extra $16 a year per bill.
Wow.
You got your first year's money.
Now all you gotta do is pick a school to spend it on.
Yeah. I gotta do that.
Where did a quarter of a percent come from?
Yeah. I hope so.
Those are them.
No.
- Those?- Yeah. Those.
Solid choice.
That's the ticket.
I think we've covered everything.All the arrangements have been made.
- Yeah.- You know what you're gonna say?
- Whatever comes to mind.- You want to plan it out a little?
That'll sound false.I want to be true to my instincts.
Don't think I'm being weird, but what if... what if she wants you to kiss her?
Then I guess I'm just gonna have to kiss her.
Amanda Jones won't minor leaguer who'll be swept off her feet at the touch of your amateur lips.
- Thanks.- This babe has plenty of battle scars.
- I can handle it.- Great.
I think maybe you should consider
whether you can deliver a kiss that kills.
What? Y-you think I can't?
- If you say you can, you probably can.- No, I'm no expert.
It's cool. I was just gonna work on it with you, but if you're comfortable...
...great.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
How... how do you work on it?
Pretend I'm a girl, OK?
I mean,
pretend I'm her... Amanda.
I know it's a big stretch, but try it.
Come here.
I didn't mean to scare you.
All right.
- What do you do with your hands?- It depends.
No, it doesn't depend.They go on her hips.
OK.
Do it.
Look into my eyes.
- Come on.I don't have to do this, you know.- I'm sorry.
Just grow up a little.
- She'll probably do this.- How do you know?
I watch a lot of TV.Close your eyes.
What?
Lesson's over. You're cool.
- You're blushing.- Yeah, right.
No, no, that was very nice.You're pretty.
If this is how you repay a favour,I'm not rich enough.
Wait, I didn't mean anything. I'm sorry.
Don't be mad. OK?
I'll see you tonight.
Ah! Jeez!
Dad. What are you doing?
Get dressed. I want to talk to you.
I want to know what's wrong.Are you in trouble?
No.
Were you at the bank recently?
You withdrew the college money,didn't you?
Yeah.
It's going back, pal.Every last cent of it's going back.
You don't get this close to something and piss it away.
It's not going back. I don't have it.I spent it.
What did you buy, a car? Whatever you bought, you're gonna take it back.
Dad, I can't. I don't want to.
I don't care what you want.The money's going back.
You're not listening.I can't get it back.
- You had no right touching the money！- I earned it.
- Where's the fucking money?- Dad, the money is not important.
You don't know what you're talking about!
I know what I'm talking about,you just never listen to me!
- Will you listen to me, for once?- I'm listening.
I'm not gonna go to college. The money is gone. You can't get it back.
It's over, this whole dream.It's not what I wanted.It's what you wanted!
- I never wanted it! I just didn't have the guts to tell you.- You're only 18.
Then I'm 19, then I'm 20.When does my life belong to me?
Dad, listen. I'm going out with a girl tonight.
She's beautiful and everyone's in love with her and she's going out with me.
Get it? See, in the eyes of most people around here, I'm nothing.
And so I don't start agreeing with them,I'm gonna go through with this date.
I want to show this girl that I'm as good as anybody else.
You're going to impress her with money? Think that's the solution?
Dad, didn't you have guys at your school that didn't fit in?
Yeah, of course.
Well, I'm one of those guys.
I thought things were going OK.
Yeah. I like art. I work in a gas station.My best friend's a tomboy.
That doesn't fly well in high school.
- I didn't know.- How could you about it? You're my father.
Jesus, Keith.How could you blow all that money?
Believe me, there's a good reason behind all this.You've just got to trust me.
Trust you? There's a limit.
How can you put a limit on trust?
Do you know any father who'd let his kid do this?
- No.- So why should I go along with it?
Because you believe in me.
Listen, I'm gonna replace the money.
You know I will. I'm not stupid.
I didn't work all this time just to throw everything away without thinking.
- I know what I'm doing.- You sure?
Yeah.
OK.
But I'm still gonna ride your ass about college. I'm not giving up.
All right.
I've said my piece.
- Do me a favour.- Sure.
- Stop calling me Clifford.- No problem.
Hi.
Stop sneaking around,listening at people's doors.
- Me?- Yeah, you.
Dad, I just came up to tell Keith that Watts is downstairs waiting for him.
Don't get in his way.
- Did he go apeshit?- No.
- Laura, I'm in a hurry...- I came up to wish you luck tonight.
- My friends are crossing their fingers.- Thank you.
He really didn't go apeshit?
He's probably saving it for me.
- You want me to lock up for you?- Please.
- Give me a break. Look at us.- I think you look tremendous.
Too bad my grandmother bit the dust.She'd be proud I'm wearing a bra.
Go get your scag and let's roll.
- Mom, it's for me.- What time will you be home?
- Early.- Tell Hardy hello for us.
- OK. Bye.- Bye.
- Hi.- Hi. You look different.
- Than what?- Than before.
- I'm wearing a suit.- Oh. So...
- Are you ready?- Yeah, I'm standing in an open door.
- Let's go.- All right.
Wow! Check that out. Did you steal it?
I borrowed it. I figured your ass was too precious for vinyl.
You're right.
What?
Thank you.
So, do you always bring an extra girl when you go out?
I like to cover my bets.
That's very cute.I have to remember that.
I'm gonna love this one,I can feel it already.
Is it moving?
What is it?
It's Beluga caviar.
It's the most expensive caviar you can buy.
You're an uptown girl.You should know this.
Look, How this happened is as much of a mystery to me as it is to you.
I'm not thrilled, either, so why don't you just stop giving me attitude?
- I'm giving you attitude?- Yeah.
Like on Friday,That he-man power play about how I have to ask my friends for permission.
I didn't appreciate it.I don't like being treated like that.
Well, it's true, isn't it?
- At least I have friends.- Are you sure?
Look, do you want to end this now?
No. Hey, relax. Calm down. Please.
We ordered. I don't want to end it.
Enjoy the atmosphere.Pretend I'm dead.
I wish.
Throw it out, dice coming out.
Makes the point, the point is ten.
One-time bet. One-time bet only.
- I'll give you five to one.- Five to one? Seven to one.
- Do I look like the Sahara?- Do I look Italian?
I don't need this.
- Sit. Conference. What do you say?- No way.
To win big you gotta do what?Lose big. What are we doing now?
- Losing big.- Double nickels, ten the hard way.
No!
Mess with the bull, you get the horns!
Bon appit.
Very uptown.
- Hey, you're smiling.- I'm sorry.
No, don't apologise.You have a lovely smile.
You should smile more often.
OK. Whenever I try not to smile,I smile more.
No, I got the chin.
No, I got it. Sorry I wasn't more on the ball. I was comatose.
- I brought you something to eat.- A gift? For me?
- I thought you might be hungry.- Thanks.
Eating and driving，is as handy as skiing and doing your taxes.
Maybe you can eat at the next stop.
Could I book time to take a leak?
- What's your problem?- Nothing.
Excuse me a minute.
Listen,You volunteered to do this. You said,"I'll drive so you can talk." Remember?
It was this morning. Of course.
So why are you giving me shit?
Let's go.
If my dinner reeks, I'll put it in the trunk.
It's fine, really.
Well, then. We're off.
- Pardon me.- No problem.
Good.
- Thank you.- Break his heart, I'll break your face.
- What are we doing here?- It's an art museum.
- What are we doing here?- You don't like art?
I... I do like art.It's just that... isn't it closed?
Well, it doesn't mean we can't go in.
OK.
Hello. We've been waiting for you a long time, my pop and I. Come in.
Right this way. Give me five, pal.
- Amanda, Duncan.- Nice to meet you, Amanda.
- No monkey business.- Dad, freeze it. It's gonna be fine.
Nice legs.
I lose my job, you're in the dumper,Duncan.
Absolutely, Pops. Absolutely.
Hey, thanks a lot.
Just remember, anything for a pal,OK?
- Have you ever been here before?- Yeah.
Sixth grade. I don't remember it.
I come here all the time.
I've never been here at night, though.
This place is my church.
I come here and what anybody says about me doesn't matter.
I have to come back here when I can spend more time.
We have all night.
There's one in here that I'd like to show you.
So what do you see in me? Be honest.
What do you see in me? You first.
I don't think anybody thought about me other than I looked good next to him.
I went along with it because I'd rather be with someone for the wrong reasons
than alone for the right ones.
- I'd rather be right.- I can't stand being alone.
Nobody can stand being alone.
The minute you stop thinking there's someone out there for you, it's over.
Isn't it?
Listen... I've been waiting a long time
and I still don't have it, but I will.
What? What are you talking about?
You know what I'm talking about.
No, I don't.
Yes, you do. It's not funny. You know.
- I don't.- This. Tonight.
It was a joke. I was set up.You used me, right?
You think I used you?
Didn't you?
- I don't know,In a way...- In a way?
There's only one way you use someone. You either do or you don't.
You didn't use me?
God, you hypocrite.
What's hanging in that museum?My soul? No, it's my face.
You're using me to pay back every guy with more money and power than you.
Paint it any colour you want.
It's still you using me.
You're right.
I did use you,
for all those reasons.
I'm sorry.
Can we call it even?
We're even.
- This is for you.- What is it?
It's my future.
In this box is my future.
Every cent I've ever earned is for you.
- I can't take these.- You have to.
I know you like them.I saw you wearing Shayne's.
This doesn't make any sense.
You shouldn't have to borrow anything.You're too good for that.
Why are you crying?
I feel so terrible for what I've been doing.
I hate... I hate feeling ashamed.
I hate where I'm from.
I hate watching my friends get everything their hearts desire.
I gave into that hatred and I turned on what I believed in.
I didn't have to.
You didn't.
So you won't do it again.
You don't have to...
...ever.
- What now?- Hardy's house.
- Did you forget something? He wants to beat the crap out of you.- It's for real.
- I know.- If you want to do that, drive yourself.
- I have to face him sooner or later.- It's not just Hardy. It's his friends. too.
I can handle it.
I could beat the crap out of you.You won't last six seconds.
-I know what I'm doing.- Don't go overboard, Studley.
Let's go.
- You don't have to do this, you know.- I do.
OK. I'll be here.
Thanks.
Guess what? Amanda brought him.
Welcome.
Thanks for coming by. I was worried you would disappoint us.
- Did you have a good time?- Yeah.
Yeah.
She's deceptively innocent, isn't she?
Clean and nice on the outside.Did she do you?
See, the one thing that I'm glad about...
...is that you get her used.
Back off, man!
That was not very smart, friend.I don't even care about you.
She's trash. You're just a fool! Take him outside and kick the shit out of him.
- Why don't you take me outside?- What?
I said, why don't you take me outside?
I don't play that way. I would love to,but I'm the host here. I have guests.
I said take him outside, OK?
- You don't want to do this.- Really?
You said I'm the trash. I got him into this. Why don't you deal with me?
That's very touching,standing up for your new man.
Let him go.Do something right for once.
Forget it. You can't talk to him.
- What do you want?- You know what I want.
OK. You want me back, I'm back.
Come on, it's not that easy.
You'll have to convince me.I want you to beg.
- Let him go.- Come on, you're a beggar. Beg.
- Bastard.- You're gonna have to beg.
I don't think it's gonna be necessary.
I didn't know Jenns lived in a hen house, did you?
It must be a hen house because all I see is chicken shit!
I don't want any trouble. My parents will be home soon. Leave now.
All right, just cut the bullshit. Please?
I'm here to wipe the floor with your ass.You know it and you deserve it.
I think it's safe to say that this party is about to become a historical fact.
Wait, Duncan. Let me talk to him.
OK.
Look, I'm perfectly willing to forget this.
OK? I see no reason to carry this on.It was a joke.
It's gone too far, it's over. OK?
You want the truth?You want the plain truth?
You're over.
Are you... Are you just gonna leave?
There isn't anything I can do to him that he hasn't already done to himself.
Wish I could live with that.
Good move, Amanda. I approve.
- Thanks again, Duncan. - No problem. You guys go along.
We'll stick around, try to crank up this party to a respectable level. OK?
Don't worry. I'm not gonna touch him.Just gonna make him cry a little bit.
Goodnight.
All right. Let's cut the bullshit.
We're gonna have some fun.
These girls have been looking at you like I don't know what.
Now we're ready to party. What a beautiful woman. She is dying for you.
Remind me never to get you angry.
Did you see the look on their faces?
Nice move. I saw it from out here.Well...
Why don't you guys run along? I'll walk. My butt's asleep from sitting.
I'm sorry if I misjudged you.
It's OK.
The keys are in the car.
Remember how I said I'd rather be|with someone for the wrong reasons...
than alone for the right ones.
I'd rather be right.
It's gonna feel good to stand on my own.
Here.
In your heart you wanted to give these to somebody else.
Go.
Go on.
Watts!
Watts...
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
Yeah, well, you're stupid.I always knew you were stupid.
Why didn't you tell me?
You never asked.
I wanted these. I really wanted them.
They're yours.
- You knew you'd get them.- No, I didn't.
I hoped. I didn't know.
You knew.
I had a feeling.
Well, how do they look?
You look good wearing my future.
