Original subtitles

While everyone else prepared to barrel, I had to look for ways to hide.

There you go champ!

My dad told us he lived the full year for our vacation at Rumson Lake.

A summer of rest and relaxation.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

How are we not cold guts?

So I'm comin to give you a hand, leave you a cheek,

and then I'm a son of a bitch, from the city of town.

Come on and take a print out here.

This is not good.

Do we have any snacks in the car?

No.

I don't want to be a dolt.

You act like a dolt.

I act like a dolt.

You don't even act like a teenager.

Oh my god, shut up!

Like I say, I hated summer.

Everybody grab something.

Oh my gosh!

It took forever.

Oh man, there should be wheels on these.

Bobby Marks to Joni Williams.

Come in, Joni Williams.

Joni, you there?

Damn.

Bobby Marks?

There.

We had dinner at the Campbell's.

So dolt.

And this is the spoon that Napoleon used to feed caviar to his cat.

Exactly.

I wanted to grab her poetry and turn it on the fire.

Oh god, not the poetry.

Well, don't worry.

Your summer's about to get a lot better.

Cool.

See you tomorrow night.

In this scenario, you're the mother.

My class is around Bobby's schedule.

It's going to be fine.

And what if you can't?

What if Bobby gets sick?

Are you then just going to skip class?

What's your plan, Lenore?

If Bobby gets sick, I will stay home and nurse him.

My parents didn't used to argue much.

Until my mom got involved with the women's movement and decided to go to law school.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, hi, baby.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Are you hungry?

Oh, yeah.

Is that mine?

The shirt?

Oh, I bought him that.

Are you sure?

It's too big for him.

Yes, I am sure.

Yeah, it just kind of makes him look bigger.

Well... He'll grow into it.

That's what I'm afraid of, right?

It's comfortable.

I'm sure it is comfortable, but you know, it's like a tent.

You look lost in it.

Morning.

Morning, beautiful.

Hi, honey.

How you doing?

Good.

Happy birthday of summer.

You want some breakfast?

I made everything I could think of.

I'm so excited for this morning.

I have to go to orientation.

We'll probably have food there or something.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, honey.

Yeah, I have to go.

Thank you.

Saying good morning and goodbye.

Sure.

Love you guys.

Love you, too.

Love you, too.

I'll eat.

All right, just make sure you get something, okay?

What's your plan?

Are you going to go to Mohawk and join your sister?

Are you going to go to one of the others?

What are you thinking?

Um...

Actually, I wasn't planning on going to any Kansas here.

Excuse me?

Didn't I mention it?

I thought you did.

No, you didn't mention it.

You didn't mention it because it's actually not a good idea.

It's not up to you to make those decisions, chief.

And you can't hang out here all summer bothering your mother.

She's got more important things to do than to look after you.

Marty.

You're going to camp, mister.

And if you don't choose one, I will.

Okay?

I'm going to go eat on the porch.

Let's have a good summer.

Eat some fruit.

Fresh air.

That's why we're here.

Hey, we'll talk about it later, okay?

Okay.

Let's just enjoy our breakfast.

You and me.

Like a date.

Kind of.

No.

That's weird.

Okay, sorry.

Yeah.

Never mind.

Been here long, Joanie Williams?

Since I opened Bob Marks.

Oh, here.

How do you finish your morning?

Let me make one thing clear.

Joanie Williams was not my girlfriend.

What?

Hi.

Yeah.

Right.

Well, I... No.

I thought we talked about everything together.

Come on.

Let's go have some fun.

I think the only thing we didn't talk about was

the size of her nose and the size of my waist.

So, what do you want to do first?

Um, why don't we try that one?

Really?

Mr. Conceited is running it.

Bobby Marks, are you jealous?

You got some last minute gamblers?

Uh, yeah.

Step on up.

There's plenty of room at the Wheel of Fortune.

I know.

I know.

You feel lucky tonight?

Yeah.

Go ahead and make your bets.

Everyone loved Pete Marino.

Especially Pete Marino.

That's a very good bet.

Okay, round and round the wheel goes, where it stops along the nose.

We have a winner!

Oh my God!

Wow, you're the first big winner of the night.

Really?

Okay.

Take your pick.

That one.

That one it is.

There you go, lucky lady.

Thank you, it's beautiful.

Are we gonna have to lug that around all night?

Well, I don't mind washing it back here.

But it might be better for business if you carried him around for a minute.

Yeah, we're happy to help you in any way that we can, so...

Wonderful.

Isn't he just adorable?

Did he have something on his eye or something?

Maybe we should send over a doctor.

Also, isn't there like some sort of dress code or something?

I mean, if not there should be.

Do you think he owns any clothes that actually fit him?

Okay, let's go this way.

Bobby Marks?

Johnny Williams?

We're going back to the city tomorrow.

What?

What?

We just got here, why?

I don't know.

For how long?

A few weeks, maybe a month.

Maybe.

A month?

Maybe, we don't know yet.

Um...

Wait, you don't have to go.

You can stay with us.

You can have my room and I'll sleep on the couch.

I have to go too.

Why?

Just because.

That's not an answer, just tell me why.

Don't be so pushy.

Geez.

You're going to miss the fireworks.

You're going to be huge this year.

Are you trying to make it worse?

No.

Sorry, it's...

Well, you know.

Well, you know.

But, you know what?

You're going to find something to do and it's going to be fine.

Like what?

Like, why don't you get a job?

What?

There's always postings on the bulletin board.

Yeah, for babysitting.

Or gardening.

You could do something like that.

Uh... Come on.

I don't know.

I mean, it's pretty hard work and besides, who would

hire me when there's, you know, older kids around?

You look older.

Hold this.

Hmm.

You're not going to find anything.

The boy needed for maintaining a large estate on Rumson Lake, two dollars per hour.

You could totally do that.

Uh... No.

Yeah.

We're going to call.

Come on.

Uh... Hold on.

Wait.

No.

No.

We're not calling.

Call.

No.

I don't want to call.

Why?

Because I don't want to do the job.

Okay?

Watch your fingers.

He probably thinks it's food.

There was a time when Willie Rumson's family owned the whole lake.

That was before he was sent to Vietnam for nearly killing some guy in a fight.

That's a nice bear you got there, little girl.

Let's go.

Now the Wicked Witch gave you an order, little dope boy.

You better obey or she'll get you.

And your little dog, too.

Don't you point that nose at me.

Thing might be freaking loaded.

Hey, Rummy.

Time to get going.

Well, it's a free country, Wap.

Yeah, well, the club is members only.

No townie trash.

So, uh...

That's not nice.

This place sucks anyway, Willie.

Shirt's really small, man.

Put the cigarettes out.

I'm pretty sure they sell mint-sized from town.

Thank you, man.

Don't worry about those losers, all right?

Promise me I'll call.

Okay.

Fine.

I'll call.

Thank you.

I wish you lots of luck, Bobby Marks.

And I'll be back in a few weeks, so... I promise.

Mwah.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

We had a good time.

You were the boy who telephoned about the job?

A-a...

Yes, sir.

Robert Marks.

You walked here... like a boy with Enterprise.

How old are you?

Speak up, boy.

17.

17?

Have you done this sort of work before?

Uh...

No, sir, not yet.

Well, then I don't think you're right for the job.

It's not easy work, and this is not a small property.

Oh.

Uh, okay.

That is it?

Sir?

Well, you're not going to fight for it, for the job?

Uh...

I don't understand.

Well, you want the job, yes?

Then you should not acquiesce and accept my no as the final no.

You should try to convince me otherwise.

Convince you?

Indeed.

Well, uh, I'm sure I can do this job, sir, if you just give me a chance.

I don't have time to train a boy with no skills.

Oh, um...

Well, uh, I learn really quick.

Quickly.

And all my teachers say that I'm bright and a good worker.

No, no.

Quickly is the adverb modifying the verb.

I don't have time to learn.

I learn quickly.

Begin again.

Uh, all my teachers say that I'm bright and a good worker.

You won't regret for a moment hiring me.

Excellent.

Much better.

A local?

Uh, no.

We summer here.

My experience with the locals has been less than satisfactory.

Very well.

You will work Monday to Friday, nine to three, with half an hour for

lunch, which you will provide for yourself.

Under no conditions.

Under no conditions are you to go into the house.

The job pays two dollars per hour.

Yeah, I pay well.

And I expect you to earn every penny of it.

Seventeen, you say?

Monday.

Nine o'clock.

Sharp.

Robert.

Is it?

Whoa.

Let me check my inventory.

I'm not sure I have enough.

Why?

Did you eat it all yourself?

Just give me a cone, will ya?

Dipped.

So, is your brother putting on another show?

Ugh, when isn't he?

Yeah, yeah, Pete.

You got muscles.

How original.

You wouldn't catch me strutting around with my shirt off like that.

I hope not.

Well...

No, I...

I mean, if I were like him.

If I had muscles.

Well, that's obviously nothing you need to worry about.

I have.

Hey, Bobby.

That was the best part.

Sorry.

Okay, jeez, I didn't do it on purpose.

I'll just buy you another one.

You don't have to be a baby about it.

I'm not being a baby.

Yeah, you are being a baby.

No, I'm not.

Can I have a lemonade, please?

Hey, big guy.

How's that beer working out for you?

Uh, it's not mine.

It's Joanie's.

Joanie your girlfriend?

No.

I was hoping you weren't his girlfriend.

Uh, you.

She's my sister.

Michelle.

Hi.

Pete.

Pete Marino.

I didn't mean that in the Bond, James Bond sort of way.

Well, you would have had to say Marino.

Pete Marino would do that, but... Wait, as in the Marinos that run this place?

The same.

You knew that.

So, am I going to be seeing you around the club this summer?

Yeah, weekends.

I'm working at Mohawk Hill.

I'm a camp counselor.

Okay.

Thanks.

Very nice.

Oh, come on.

Don't you have someplace to be?

Um, no.

I don't.

Why don't you go play with Joanie?

Play?

I, I don't play anymore.

And besides, she left.

Those two are literally joined at the hip.

I think growing up they even shared the same diapers.

Uh, yeah.

Well, at least I wasn't still wearing them when I was six.

She was a bed wetter.

Hey, get out of here, boobie.

Gladly, mush hell.

Ignore him.

I'm pretty sure he was dropped on his own.

He was dropped on his head at birth.

Very funny, Michelle.

Anyway.

Much better muscle control now.

Happy birthday, USA.

We got to thinking about some place for the bicentennial.

It seemed like the only place to come.

And then we came out here to see all the, uh, different exhibits.

And I've been trying all the different food.

Getting a little...

Feet off the couch, please.

Lenore, should I, uh, go ahead and get the barf?

Sure.

Yeah.

That's why I need the lighter fluid, matches, and the charcoal.

Fantastic, Merlin.

Bobby, here.

Take this outside and help your dad.

We're eating outside?

Yeah.

I thought we would.

It's such a pretty night.

Now, have you picked a camp yet?

I... I actually got a job.

Really?

A job.

Doing what?

Just cutting some grass and stuff.

You know, nothing special.

Where?

Dr. Collins up at the north end of the border.

Kind of like...

Sure.

Go ahead.

Can't seem to get you to cut the grass around here.

Go ahead.

Cut somebody else's.

Hey, Marty.

Right?

Hello.

Okay.

I thought Dad would be happy that I got a job.

Me too.

Well, I want to meet this doctor.

I want to see where my little boy is going to be spending his days.

Mom.

Believe me.

I'm not your little boy anymore.

Honey.

It's just a phase.

You'll grow out of it.

Don't set a place for me.

I've got to get back to the city.

I've got a work emergency.

What?

We just got here.

I know.

Believe me.

I'm very sorry.

If I leave right now, I can just catch the last train.

Bobby, I'll see you when I get back.

Okay, Chief?

Be a good boy.

Do you want to come with us?

I'm good.

Okay.

Well, there's a potato salad in the fridge if you want to tide me over.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

What about the meat?

Put it in the fridge, honey.

Okay.

Car is gone.

Where are the folks?

Mom took Dad to the train station.

Something about something at work.

Cool.

You...

did not... You didn't see me.

I called from camp and I said that I was having

dinner with all the other counselors, okay?

You know I don't lie, Michelle.

This whole I'm not gonna lie anymore thing, it's getting a little old.

It's about time you grew up.

Hey, I'm growing up.

Mm-hmm.

Bye.

Bye.

It is 9.02.

You are late, Robert.

We will work until 3.02.

Understood?

Before you begin, you must check the gas and the oil.

The more supplies, the better.

We will go in there and confirm that the blades are in satisfactory condition.

If you hit a stone and chip them, then they need to be re-sharpened.

And the cost of that will come out of your pay.

Understood?

Words, Robert.

Speak.

Yes, sir.

Farewell.

Begin.

No, no, no.

No, stop, stop.

I found that with this machine, it works better if you counterbalance the boat.

Dr. Cod!

Dr. Cod!

How, how should I cut it?

I beg your pardon?

Side to side or up and down.

That is entirely up to you.

Go.

Go.

Sunshine go away today I don't feel much like dancing Some man's gone, he's tried

to run my life I don't know what he's asking When he tells me I better get in

line I can't hear what he's saying When I grow up, I'm gonna make it mine These

ain't dues I've been paying But how much does it cost?

I'll buy it The time is always lost I'll try it And he can't even run his own life

I'll be damned if he'll run mine Sunshine, sunshine go away today I don't feel much

like dancing Some man's gone, he's tried to

run my life Everything under control, Robert.

I don't know what he's asking I don't know what he's

asking I don't know what he's asking How much does it cost?

I'll buy it The time is always lost I'll try it And he can't even run his own life

I'll be damned if he'll run mine Sunshine...

What do you call this?

I call it unacceptable.

You will re-do this tomorrow.

Nine o'clock.

Shut up.

I'm sorry I'm late, Dr. Kahn.

There is a slight technical malfunction with my alarm.

I know it's not an excuse.

Not a good one.

But I'm willing to make it up to you and I promise it won't happen again.

It's too late.

My job is mine.

I did not say that.

Oh, you can't let him do it.

It's my job, Doc.

Let me look at this, Ken.

I'll fix it on my dime.

I'll do better, I promise.

I'll listen to him back, Doc.

What I'm hearing is someone who is willing to take responsibility.

Your lack of which is why I had to hire your replacement here in the first place.

At least I know what I'm doing.

Good day, William.

This is your second chance, Robert.

And like baseball bettors, you do not get a third.

That afternoon, I cut the grass like it was every thin person I'd ever met.

What am I going to do with you?

Sir?

How can I justify paying you top dollar when you work so slowly?

You do want this job, don't you?

Words, Robert?

Yes, sir, I do.

Given your limited abilities, I can allow you to

continue, strictly on a trial basis, of course.

But I can only pay you one dollar per hour.

I

think that's very reasonable, don't you?

Yes, sir.

It's one morning, 9 a.m., sharp.

At the end of the week, doctor Khan an rehired some extra help.

I didn't know if it was some sort of test, but, this

time, I didn't feel like running away from the challenge.

This time, I had something to do E piggy 5

Looks like it's still doing my job...

when I want it back.

The waste goes in the compost.

See ya.

You're still here?

Uh... just finishing up.

What would you like me to do next?

Sweep the porch.

Wash the trash cans.

Clean the gutters.

Look around you.

A man who's worth what he's paid uses some initiative.

Yes, sir.

Hey!

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm up here!

Come on!

Bye-bye!

What are you doing in here?

I...

Did I not instruct you to never come into this house?

Uh... the ladder fell.

I was stuck on the roof and I couldn't get down.

Ladders do not fall at their own accord.

What have you got there?

Uh... I cleaned out the gutters and I didn't want to drop them on your flowers.

Well, it's definitely slow, but you are

conscientious and that is something I can appreciate.

It's the end of your week.

Come.

There you are.

Thirteen dollars and fifty cents for the week.

Go ahead, count it.

It's all there.

Wait, wait.

Oh, the accounting?

Uh...

Well, Monday.

You worked five and a half hours at two dollars per hour.

That's eleven dollars.

But you chipped the blades.

And the resharpening cost fourteen dollars.

So that means at the end of Monday you owed me three dollars.

Tuesday, according to our agreement, you did not

get paid because you had to redo Monday's work.

I'm pretty sure some minimum wage or child labor laws are being broken here.

Total.

At the new rate of one dollar per hour.

But it was the first money I'd ever made.

Why did you quit my job yet?

Look at me.

You and your kind come up here for two months a year.

You only act like it's yours.

No, but it ain't.

It's got your name on it, Willie.

Oh, that's right, Dougie.

My great-grandpa owned all this.

So I get to decide what's what around here.

And what you got there?

Nothing.

Well, it doesn't look like nothing.

That's it?

That old kike is ripping you off, boy.

Didn't I say it was my job?

Well, that would make you my money.

Right?

And do you have a problem with that?

Hold up, hold up.

Uncle Hank.

What do you got here, Willie?

You guys sure eyes to think I was trying to throw a rock through my windshield.

No, no I wasn't.

Didn't your folks ever tell you not to throw stones?

What's your name?

Robert Marks.

Some are people.

Seems like all my problems are caused by some are people.

Well, that's exactly what I was saying to the guys.

Coming up here with your big city attitudes and bothering

all the locals who don't cause me any problems all year.

No.

That's right.

It's all about I, I, I.

Me, me, me with you people, isn't it?

Well, the next time I catch you harassing locals, I'm going to have to call your

folks so they can come bail you out of jail.

You understand?

All I hear is your brains rattling around in that fat head of yours.

I asked you if you understand.

Yes, sir.

Good.

Get out of here.

Hey sleepyhead.

You slept through another dinner.

I'm starting to really worry about you.

I got up and ate something last night.

And besides, you have to worry about me.

I'm not a kid anymore.

I'm always going to worry about you.

It doesn't matter how old you are.

When I close my eyes and I think about you, I still see you as this tiny pink

pudgy baby who's struggling to get his fat

little fingers to work the way he wants them to.

And then I open my eyes and I see this big kid where my little pink baby was.

And I think, what have I done wrong?

Can I put him back?

No.

That's not how it works, mom.

You sure everything's okay with you?

Yeah, I'm sure.

You'd tell me if it wasn't, wouldn't you?

What about dad?

Who?

I'm kidding.

Um, he's staying in the city.

He has a big project at work, apparently.

What about you, mom?

Are you sure everything's okay with you?

You'd tell me if it wasn't, wouldn't you?

I don't want to talk to you until you tell me the truth.

I don't have anything else to say.

Hey.

Hey.

What's up?

What's going on with mom and dad?

What do you mean?

Are they getting a divorce or something?

They've been arguing a lot lately.

They're going to just argue.

Don't worry about it.

Why do people think that saying don't worry is gonna keep anyone from worrying?

What do you want me to say?

That it's gonna be okay?

It's gonna be okay.

Now why don't I believe you?

Do you think dad's having an affair?

Don't say that.

It's possible.

You get the stuff, huh?

Mark Taylor's dad started getting busy at work, and it

turned out he was, you know, getting busy with his secretary.

Dad's not like that.

Well, something's up.

Almost Mom wouldn't have left for the city.

Really?

Wait, for how long?

Monday.

Do you have any plans tonight?

Some TV, I guess.

Probably just sacking out early.

Why?

Listen, if Mom calls and I'm not back yet, just tell her I'm asleep, okay?

We're here again?

What?

You did it before.

Soul Train.

The hipest trip in America.

Sixty non-stop minutes plus a taxi ride.

The Emotions.

Maze.

Featuring Frankie Beverly.

And the Soul Train Dance.

And the Soul Train Dance.

Well, you're two out the top now, baby.

I'm mad.

Sweet pretty woman.

I just want you to know that I love you.

Oh, I love you, love you, baby.

And it's been years since you've done what you need.

Girl, I want you.

Girl, I love you.

Ah!

Oh, I love what you're doing to my...

What are you doing here?

Me?

Let me help you.

No, don't touch me.

No, don't touch me.

Come on.

Don't touch my sister.

Bobby!

Bobby!

Everything.

This is so easy for you.

You don't know what it's like.

You don't know what it's like for the rest of us.

You and your, your this, and your great abs, you got great muscles, huh?

No one cares.

Okay?

And your stupid, oh, spin the wheel, blah.

Cool.

Um, hey, let's go home.

No.

We should go home.

No, I got, I want to tell you some more crap.

No.

Hey, Bobby, don't touch me.

Bobby, stop.

Bobby, we're going to go home, okay?

What's wrong with you?

Let's go.

Come on.

Come on.

We can hang out again.

Oh, yeah.

And your bears.

No, no, no.

You and your goddamn bears.

Let's go home.

Let's go home.

And for the record, the hip thing's mandatory, okay?

Shut up.

We can, we can.

Go.

We can hang out again.

Hey, that bear.

Bears.

Frickin' bear he gave to Joni.

I can't believe you'd embarrass me like that.

I didn't embarrass you.

I saved you.

You saved me?

Yeah.

You were struggling.

Oh, what do you know about it?

I know he's all David Cassidy and stuff, but there's something about him.

About that guy I don't like.

Oh, okay.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh God, I'm sorry.

It's fine.

It's cool.

Uh, that's nasty.

That's really gross.

That's really gross.

It's the rum and coke.

Mm-hmm.

.

Oh my God.

Oh, my God.

In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty

I want to be in the warm heart of your love

To feel you all around me And to take your hand along

the sand And but I may as well try and catch the wind

We are gathered here today to honor the life of this bird.

Yea, though it flew through the valley of the shadow of death, it feared no evil.

It feared no window either, which proved to be its undoing.

If anyone knows anything of why this bird cannot be lawfully buried at sea,

I mean like, speak now or forever hold your peace.

By the power vested in me, by the state of New York, I now pronounce you deceased.

Amen.

Jenny Williams?

That would be Mark.

I'm Jenny Williams.

You sound different.

I fell asleep reading and just woke up.

Why are you calling?

Are you okay?

Right.

Yeah, there is just this cool thing with this bird, a dove, I think.

It died, but I guess it didn't really die.

Because...

Bobby?

Is that you?

Mrs. Williams?

I thought I heard the phone ring.

I got it, mom.

Does your mother know you're calling long distance, Bobby?

Uh...

No, I didn't really think.

Don't be long, dear, okay?

I need to make a call.

Mother...

What were you saying?

Right.

Um...

I just...

I wanted to say that I, um...

I mean, have you... Um...

What I... What I'm trying to say is, um...

She's back.

Huh?

My mom.

She's signaling me off the phone.

But, um, I'll be back soon.

Okay?

Um, okay.

Bye.

Come on.

Hey, well, look who it is.

Take a hike, Rummy.

What'd you say to me?

Willie, leave it, man.

He's a kid.

No, he can't talk to me like that.

You went to Vietnam over a bar fight.

If you hit a kid, you're going to prison.

I went to Vietnam because I bit that asshole's ear off.

Oh, this one looks too fatty.

Willie, look at him when he's talking to you.

Hey, hey, hey.

Whoo!

Whoo!

For fuck's sake, man.

Whoo-hoo!

Come on, boy!

Put him in the boat!

Put him in the boat!

Come on!

Come on!

Get him in there, Dougie!

Come on!

Get in the boat!

Get it!

Ah!

Bring him out of here, Jimmy.

Come on, give me him.

There he is.

Ah!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

You all right?

Ah.

Ah.

Strip.

What?

You heard what I said.

Strip.

Uh-uh.

No way.

Yeah, you heard him.

Come on.

Come on, boy!

Whoo!

Stay still!

Stop fighting!

Come on!

Whoo!

Look at that!

Take it off!

Do you ever see titties like that?

Come on, boy!

Stop!

Come on!

Wait, the last part!

No, no, no!

Here we go.

Whoo!

Holy shit!

Look at that granny penis!

Where you going, boy?

Huh?

I want to hear you oink like a pig.

I want you to oink like a pig!

No.

I can't hear you!

Oink like a pig!

That's it!

I want to hear it again!

Oink like a pig, boy!

I love it!

Grab his clothes.

Stay down!

You have a good night.

Leave him.

Love yourself up, Marta!

Whoo!

Look at that ass right there!

Get away from me.

You okay?

Look, I'm going to take you back.

We have to promise not to tell anybody about what happened last night.

Look at you.

You won't make it back.

And I can't have that on my conscience.

And Willie, he's just, you know... He doesn't have a conscience.

He hasn't had it so easy.

Ah!

Geez!

Hi!

Mom, what are you doing back already?

Hello.

What happened to your face?

What did you do?

Oh, a branch at work.

I walked into it.

It's fine.

Did you put some ice on it?

No.

Hold on.

How's the city?

Uh... You know, it's hot.

Empty.

Which is nice.

So, Dad's okay?

He's fine.

What's he doing?

Uh, some project at work.

I didn't get the details.

Where's Michelle?

Still sleeping, I guess.

Really?

She's not in her bed.

Oh, right.

Well, I...

Oh yeah, I forgot.

She had to go to some early counseling meeting today.

Speak of the devil.

Hey, you're back.

Uh, from that early counselor's meeting.

That was quick.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It was.

Michelle?

How was your meeting?

Great!

What time did it start?

It isn't Ali himself.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Is that from your wrestling match with the chair?

Uh, no.

Um...

You might want to get out of here.

Damn.

Too bad.

Uh, say...

Can I, uh...

Can I bum her out?

I'll be late for work otherwise.

That Willie Rumson ever give you any more trouble?

Willie?

Rumson?

Yeah, that skid from the carnival was picking on you and your girlfriend.

Joni's not my girlfriend.

Anyway, that guy.

No.

Why?

He used to beat me up when I was your age.

I was still pretty new around here.

This place isn't like new.

His gang jumped me one night and laid in on me pretty good.

I bet you're not afraid of him now.

My older brother Vinnie.

You meet him?

He brought some friends home from college.

We cleaned out the rums.

It's been good.

They haven't messed with the Marinos since.

Can I ask you a question, sir?

Have you ever been bullied?

Why do you ask?

There's this guy who doesn't seem to like me very much.

I don't know why.

I haven't done anything.

Not really, anyway.

But then there's Pete, you know, from the beach club.

And he said that that guy bullied him too.

So he got his brother to beat up the guy and now the guy leaves him alone.

So I got to wondering, what if Pete's right?

What if the only way to deal with a bully is to get

someone bigger and stronger to deal with him for you?

But then I wondered, if that's right, what

if there isn't someone bigger and stronger?

What if...

What if the bully is the biggest and the strongest?

Does he always get to win?

That is quite a lot to wonder.

The advice one proffers in the these situations invariably says more about the

person giving the advice than what is actually the right thing to do.

Turn the other cheek.

Avoidance.

Get allies.

Fight back.

The difficulty lies in knowing what is the best strategy in any given situation.

So, how do you know?

You don't.

Okay.

Yes.

I'm sorry?

Yes.

I have been bullied.

By some of the best.

Some of the worst.

The only thing I can tell you with any certainty, Robert, is that you will spend

the rest of your life wondering what the right approach would have been.

If you now suspect that you chose the wrong one.

Okay.

Who do you think is going to get the drunkest?

And don't say me.

Hi!

Thank you.

Listen, I'm having a mini crisis in the kitchen.

Can you give me a hand?

Sure.

I don't know what I was saying.

Thank you.

Well, I'm glad you did that.

Oh my god!

Hey!

How are you?

Hi!

Hello Bobby Marks.

Hey!

Joni Williams?

So, what do you think?

You don't like me?

No, no, no.

It's just different is all.

It's fine.

I mean, my mom told me that some people would be like this.

But, um, you don't have to like it because I do and that's all that matters.

Oh, no, I do like it.

It looks good.

Honestly?

Cross my heart, brah.

So, um, when did you decide to do it?

My mother looked into it, actually.

She didn't tell me until recently, but apparently

you can't get your nose done until it stops growing.

And I don't think mine could have gotten any bigger.

So...

You never told me.

What was there to say?

I mean, it's a pretty big thing.

It was a big thing.

But now it's not.

Okay, look, I wanted to surprise you.

Surprise!

So...

Why did you do it?

You want me to surprise you?

No, get the nose job.

Because I was ugly.

Joanie!

Joanie, come here.

I had to show you some beautiful clothes.

I love it!

Joanie and I had grown up being the ones on the edge of everything.

It never mattered so much being Pluto and Neptune in the

universe of popularity because we were out there together.

Suddenly she was shining from the center and it looked pretty far from where I sat.

She did great.

She was a real trooper through it all.

Yeah.

A little pause... and we are back.

Can I have Bobby Marks?

Can I have Tony Williams?

Can I have Tony Williams?

Would you like some iced tea?

Yes, please.

It's mint.

In the garden.

So, uh, So, are you having a party?

Yes, tomorrow.

12 sharp.

It has consistently marked the end of summer.

And then it's back to the city Sunday at 11 sharp.

Well, maybe you should go a little later this year.

Or earlier, you know, just to see what happens.

No, in these matters, Robert, consistency is the foundation of tradition.

Sit down for a minute.

So tell me, have you had any more problems

this summer with that bully of whom you spoke?

No.

Not really.

Those are two different answers.

Uh...

I survived.

Surviving in spite of a bully's efforts is indeed one form of reward.

I just wish there was a way I could get out and get back at him somehow, you know?

So you seek revenge over justice?

Well, what's the difference?

Well, there's quite a gulf between the two.

The measure of a man is his ability to navigate

to a proper shore during the worst of the storm.

Hey, that's pretty good.

I should write that one down.

Thank you...

for your assistance this summer.

I must attend my preparations.

Get

your clothes off!

My

dad finally came up on the last Friday of the season.

But it still didn't seem like Rumson Lake was relaxing him.

Knock, knock.

Ask who's there.

Who's there?

King Tut.

King Tut who?

King Tutkey fried chicken.

Tough crowd.

Last weekend.

I don't want you guys to leave your tidying up for the last minute, okay?

I already started.

Well, there are benefits to being grounded, aren't there?

What?

Aren't I always ready on time?

No.

I want you to know that I did everything I could to make this right.

I tried.

I really tried.

You know Estelle Brown?

In accounting.

The kind of bubbly redhead.

You met her at the Christmas party.

You said you talked to her for a long time.

You're...

And this is not her fault.

I'm just gonna tell you what happened.

She had this brother.

Real dynamic kind of guy.

And he had this company that made robotics.

You know, real cutting edge stuff.

And he told me all the investors that, you know, they'd

just make a fortune once they listed it on the stock market.

I'm sorry.

I'm not following.

Oh.

You know, we had all these big expenses coming up.

And Michelle going to college.

You know, Bobby not far behind.

And you maybe going to law school.

And I...

You know, I took some of our savings.

Most of it.

Might as well have been all of it.

How could you do this without talking to me?

How could you do this?

This is our... Our future.

It was our savings.

And you just gambled it all away without even talking to me about it?

Are you kidding me right now?

I don't know how hard it is, Lenore.

I'm all on my own.

I think I do know how hard it is.

How could you talk to me?

I didn't know what it felt like to hear your parents were getting divorced.

But I was pretty sure it felt something like hearing that they were broke.

You're not listening to me.

Bobby Marks to Joni Williams.

Come in, Joni Williams.

Joni, you there?

Bobby Marks?

You're there.

I was just outside watching the stars and I heard you in my room.

Have you seen them tonight?

You should.

They're beautiful.

Look at all that.

It's so huge.

You know, sometimes I just feel so insignificant.

I don't see them.

I think that there's a star up there for everyone down here.

So, whenever I feel lost, I just look up and find yours.

That makes me feel better.

Hey, Joni Williams.

Yeah, Bobby Marks?

Can I see you tomorrow?

I think I knew then that that would be our last summer up at the lake.

I thought we were coming.

I thought we were coming.

Yeah.

But we're already here, so that was fine.

That's fine, but we shouldn't know.

I can't believe I had to spend most of the summer to hold up my apartment.

Yeah, it wasn't really the summer I expected either.

Yeah.

Last ones.

Guess we should probably go soon too.

Yeah, probably.

Ew, what is that?

Oh, the snake skin.

Whoa.

Oh my god, gross.

What do you mean gross?

Come on, this is so cool.

Oh my god.

Look, it's a full snake skin.

No, no, no.

That's so cool.

I mean, you can see the head right there.

Oh man.

And I think that's the tail.

Ew, okay, okay.

I mean, it's not like it has a choice.

I mean, it has to shed it to grow.

Yeah, but can you imagine leaving behind a whole part of yourself?

I like it.

You do?

You've got a working man's hands.

At least that's what my dad calls them.

Great.

Do you want to go?

No.

It's just as much Raleigh as his.

Grab this for me.

No sense of humor.

No use sitting tight.

I didn't think you were supposed to be here.

I live here.

So do we.

For the summer, anyway.

Oh, the curse of the summer, people.

They buy up everything so it's too expensive for the locals.

And then they dangle their money around to make us do whatever they want.

And they know they can't too.

Because now we needed so much more.

Isn't that the same everywhere?

It didn't used to be like that around here.

You come here thinking how great this place is for the summer.

Now we just wait it out and think about how great the rest of the year will be

when you locusts head south for the winter.

Actually, locusts aren't migratory.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's my point, Brainiac.

Meet Richard, though.

Hey.

Look at you.

I didn't even recognize you without that giant beak you used to wave around here.

Don't know what to show it off.

Now be proud of what daddy bought his little princess.

Okay, leave her alone.

I'm serious.

You look good.

Not too good for this one.

Am I right?

You know, I tell you, he's lucky you're leaving.

Thought you'd have some competition.

As if.

How do you think you know me?

You know, what do you think you know about me?

Leave me alone.

Know what?

Know what, fat boy?

What's a fat kid like you gonna do?

Bobby, let's just get out of here.

Tell me.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm still going.

Could you please leave?

I'm just trying.

Hey, just wait.

I'm just trying.

Oh, shit.

avec Christiane.

Well, I'll give her a call.

I wasn't so good at it in the beginning.

Okay, I was really bad, I know.

But I improved.

A lot.

And this place looks great, doesn't it?

Are you reneging on our deal?

It's what you advertised.

You know, you should pay me for this, Summer.

I've watched you mature from a miserable fat boy to a presentable young man.

On my time, on my lawn... No, Dr. Kahn, you didn't do it.

I did it.

With my time, with my work.

You knew I'd come?

I hoped.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I hated summer vacation.

I hated summer vacation.

Until that one day I felt so bad.

A fat summer at Rumson Lake.

Because while I spent my days hiding, I wasn't only hiding from other people.

Hello, Johnnie Williams.

Hello, Bobby Myers.

Hey, guys.

You've done it all.

You've broken every code.

I'm Paul the Rebel.

To the floor.

Actually, Pete, mind if I have a turn?

Thank you.

No matter what you say.

The only metal what's above.

Resist, resist.

It's to yourself that you have to hide.

Come up and see me.

Woo!

Make me smile.

Do what you want.

Run it wild.

Come up and see me.

Make me smile.

There ain't no more.

You've taken everything.

My belief in mother earth.

Can you ignore my faith in everything?

Because I know what faith is and what it's worth.

Away, away.

And don't say maybe.

Try.

Try.

A little pause.

..

and we are back.

A little pause.
