Original subtitles

Get your motor running.

Head out on the highway.

Looking for adventure.

In whatever comes our way.

Yeah, darling, go make it happen.

Kick the world in a loving way.

Fire all of your guns with one gun.

Get your load into space.

I like smoking lightning.

Every little thunder, racing with the wind, and the

feeling that I'm under.

Yeah, I'm going to go make it happen, take the world in a loving embrace.

Fire all the guns, the guns, and explode into space.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

out front says no trespassing. You read that?

Yes, sir. Absolutely, sir.

Well, school doesn't start till next week.

Get out.

The same way you got in.

Yes, sir.

Is Dickie around?

Dickie doesn't work here anymore.

He got fired.

Shit, that's too bad.

Yeah. Let me get a fifth of Jack Daniels, a half pint of Mezcal with a

couple of daiquiris in a can, some Bloody Mary mixers, and I'll get a 12

-pack of bud while you ring it up.

Is there a problem?

Not if you have some ID.

Oh, yeah.

Here you go.

Thomas Drake?

The wrestler?

Oh, thanks.

I know. I saw you at the Invitational Blash here.

You were great.

Well, thanks, my man.

Didn't you used to go out with Mary Mosley?

Oh, yeah.

I nailed her in the backseat of my car.

Oh, boy, was she a hose beast.

Mary Mosley's my little sister.

Did you say Kleinman or Mosley?

Mosley. Oh.

Mary Mosley is a terrific girl. I'm amazed I even got to confuse a Mary

Kleinman. Because Mary Mosley is fantastic.

She's a fabulous girl.

She is.

Tom, I find it hard to believe that you're 28 and still in high school.

It's for my dad.

She's kind of an alcoholic.

Sorry.

It's Kevin.

one at a time.

Hey, hey.

What is going on?

Addison. Keanu.

Step up. Phil.

This is a lead man.

How many times do I have to tell you lead people don't wait?

Where's the other kid?

I'm sure Tommy is on his way.

On his way? I don't pay him to be on his way.

Now I am fed up with his act and if he isn't here in ten minutes, he's out.

I'd rather cut a loose and give you the rain.

Oh, I could use the rain.

Ten minutes.

Hi,

Tommy. I can't believe I turned this on.

Doing your job for two hours.

Get to work.

Excuse me, miss, but could I check the security on your back entrance?

We've had some prowler reports in the neighborhood.

Oh, sure, officer. Go right ahead.

Sorry to bother you, ma 'am, but we'd rather pay a precautionary visit like

than endanger your safety.

Well, a camera...

above the door and photographs everyone as they come in.

Yeah, well, you may photograph everyone, Miss, but does everyone know

how to make you squeal with

pleasure? Huh? David, please.

Let's call when we left a minute ago. Yeah, I know. I can't go.

I missed you tonight.

It was a huge explosion by the high school.

A hell of a lot of damage. I grabbed the punks who did it.

Are you okay?

It's a job.

David, I thought maybe we could go out tonight.

Uh -huh.

I'm a cop.

Tony, what's up?

How's it going?

All right.

Where have you been?

Just hanging out.

All right.

Not bad.

At least you don't look like a flaming geek anymore.

Thanks. Hey, did you see Apocalypse Now on cable?

Eleven times.

Keep that back entrance double -dead bolted, miss, and I wouldn't worry about

the prowler.

Okay, thank you, Oscar.

You're too young to smoke, son.

Hi, Jim.

Hi, Anita.

What do you got that's fresh?

Oh, everything's fresh.

Lady, please don't disturb Lee Blaine.

Thank you.

Sorry, Bill.

He is so nice.

You know Bill?

You're a lucky guy.

Moving into the woman palace of all time.

You know, I'm proud of you.

Because when they talk about the Bill Conrad years, they'll say, Bill Conrad,

never knew just what a wild man he really was until he moved into the house

love. Thanks a lot.

So, I guess the first party's tomorrow night.

Right.

Not a chance.

Stay.

hear what I said.

I said turn that shit off.

Okay, come on.

Let's go.

Get out of here.

You really scare me.

Looks pretty tough, Dwayne. Think you can handle him, buddy?

Come on.

Hit me.

Who is this kid?

You're too young and too little for me to execute.

Then don't give me shit.

Fucking muscleheads. Girls, be cops.

You almost got us killed.

Hey, as soon as you're scared, you're dead.

Just like Charlie said about Nod, we went in with Floppy, we came out with

Floppy. You told me I was going to meet Charlie two weeks ago.

You can't just barge in on him. Man, Charlie's a bad idea. Hey, Jim, come

Mom's been looking for you. You're supposed to be home.

I'll be home later.

Your brother's sort of a strange kid.

Seen Anita lately?

Sure. Why?

She's a hot babe.

I think dumping her was a major mistake on your part.

Anita was nice.

I really liked her.

There is something so exciting about complete independence.

Like what?

Well, you'll see how it feels when you graduate.

You move on.

I don't know. You look for something more than you get from high school

No jobs?

No. Like a mature relationship.

See, I'm almost 19.

I can't still be hanging around Alexander High waiting to pick up my

It's embarrassing.

Absolutely.

Good night.

Bill, did you know that Anita had another boyfriend?

Really?

I think it's an older guy.

Well, good for her.

I'm really happy for her.

Who's your new boyfriend?

Who told you I had a new boyfriend?

Doesn't matter. Just tell me. Is it true?

Listen, Del. I'm trying to work here, okay?

Ratty? Yeah.

The receipt's in the drawer.

Hey, babe.

We're just going out. Great.

That's great. I have to find out from other people.

I found out from Tom Drake.

You're the one who needed your freedom.

How you doing, baby?

Okay. Well, I didn't know that was an excuse for you to start going out with

entire male race.

Look, Bill, you're not my boyfriend anymore, okay?

Fine.

We don't go out for three months and this is what happens.

Well, three months is a long time when you don't have anybody to go out with.

Well... Since when do you have to go out all the time?

I mean, we used to have fun just staying in. Look, Bill, I gotta go, okay?

Call me sometime.

Bye, Reggie. You got it.

Have a maple bar, brother.

They're fresh.

Great stuff.

Enjoy it. Oh, thanks a lot.

Good night.

Good night.

Great sale, kiddo.

Listen, this isn't a criticism, okay?

We're not coming down here. I just said as well as selling pieces here, like

what'd you sell there, pants and a shirt?

Two shirts.

Two shirts is great, but we're going for a whole look thing here, okay? So think

beads and belts and bracelets, whatever else you can sell for the whole ensemble

thing, you know?

I tried to. She didn't have the money.

Well, you know, go with your instincts. It's working for you. It's great.

Hey, Anita, I'm almost out of here.

I saw David tonight.

You did?

Let me just close it a little. Okay.

We'll get out of here.

I bet you wanted an adventure.

I can't believe it's with a cop.

He doesn't act like a cop, though.

Did you realize he could arrest you for being underage?

Bill was nice.

But we only did it about four, five times.

Like David.

The way he just grabbed me and kissed me.

I didn't even have a choice.

He just had to have me.

Tommy used to be like that.

Sort of.

Every book I read said it wouldn't happen until I was 25.

And then it happened.

Boom.

My first organ.

Mom says you came home with beer under breath tonight.

And what?

Look, Jim, I'm not in the mood for this shit.

What do you care?

You're moving out.

You're too young to be out running around all night.

You have school next week.

I haven't decided if I'm going yet, all right?

Why don't you get real, Jim?

You're 15.

You have no choice than that.

Mom doesn't need the grief, okay?

You care about Mom.

That's a laugh.

You're the one with the Playboy apartment, not me.

Hey, I earned it. I'm five years older than you.

But I'm here for you anytime you need me.

Don't give me that older brother shit.

Man, why don't you just go bowling?

Everybody's a comedian.

Okay.

If you want to hang around here all day long playing Army, it's fine with me.

you think you are. You can't just come walking in here. You can't keep doing

that to me. Eileen, I've been thinking about you all day.

Let me give you a back room. No way.

What? Shh.

Wake up my mom and dad.

They love me.

Make us.

Look, if you want to see me, you have to call first.

And don't just come by work either. You only get me into trouble there.

Eileen, I only want to stay for a few hours.

I'm serious, Tommy.

If you don't get out of here right now, I'm going to scream.

You won't scream.

I'll wake up my dad. I'll wake up my mom. I'll wake up everybody.

You won't scream.

I'll scream.

You won't scream.

Look, Anita's boyfriend brings her champagne, and you, you just come

through the window.

You take me for granted.

That's not true, Eileen.

What about your birthday?

I was there.

What about your tonsillectomy? I was there, Eileen. I was the only one there.

When you thought Esther Davidson had a better body than you, I was there to

comfort you.

You're right, Tommy. Whenever I feel terrible, you're always there.

See?

You don't really want to scream.

Give me a kiss.

Isn't it wonderful?

I borrowed it from the Thompsons. It's so easy to use.

Oh, that's nice.

Well, you don't have to make such a big deal about this. I mean, I'm still going

to see you. My eldest son is leaving home, and I want a record of this. Oh,

looks wonderful.

Mom.

Joey, are you sure you want to do this?

You said... Fold them very neatly.

Fold them neatly.

Mom, you said when I was 18, I could do what I wanted.

This is what I want.

I mean, I saved up all summer long for this, and I already have the place. Take

the hanger.

Stop. Take pictures of Jim.

Oh, Jim, that's a wonderful idea. He should be in the shot. Jim, come here. I

want you to... Jim, would you come here? I want you to stand next to your

brother.

That's enough. Stand right next... Now, just look at each other.

Oh, that's nine.

You don't even have any hair on your chest.

Mom, Dad left home when he was 17.

Your father left us when he was 40, remember?

Go back in the closet.

Bill, you don't have to do this. You could stay here. You wouldn't have to

rent.

Mom, I love you, but... Bill, say that in the camera, dear.

Mom, I love you. No, the way you did before, you know, with more feeling.

Look, it's only 14 blocks away.

Oh, big man.

14 blocks.

Hey, get lost, Jim.

You're really taking off.

Screw off.

Jim! Jim, this is a permanent record. You shouldn't do that.

Billy, get back in here. Billy!

Jeez, Mom.

I'm not going to bullshit you, Bill.

I know it's tough for a guy like you to afford a place like this, but... You

seem like the kind of guy who can handle it. Huh?

Thank you, Mr. Davis.

Whoa, lots of girls.

This way, Bill. This way, boy.

I thought I was getting unit 32.

Oh, we had to rent that one out, but listen.

You know, since you're a first -time writer, I'm going to do you one better.

I'm going to put you in the northern corner, unit 93.

You're going to love it. The northern corner?

The northern corner. Whoa.

Well, it sounds all right, but I'd like to see it first.

Okay, now, if you like it, it'll mean a slightly larger security deposit, about

$9 .50. That's not including the pool key.

That's about $100 more than I brought.

Hey, no problem. Are you kidding?

We just put it on the next rent check.

I've really been looking forward to living here, Mr. Davis.

We've been looking forward to having you.

It's quiet, it's spacious here in the northern corner, and on top of that...

Just live here.

Prepare yourself.

I don't want to see too much, Bill.

Just stand here a moment.

You feel it, Bill?

It's the wildlife.

I love it.

I'm in the real world now.

I could do whatever I want at home right now. No, no, no, it's not the thing.

You'll know when you get there. It's different.

Mr. Peace. I know.

I don't need this shit, man.

I'm a specialist.

I could be teaching little kids how to wrestle.

Be right back.

We know you.

No.

Where's the ward?

Hi. Hi.

Do you know this guy?

Not really.

Can you see this?

Next time, it's your face.

You're up.

Five words of price, Tommy.

Guys,

let me go.

What's that mean?

I have something very important to tell you.

Are we talking about a party?

I've been up all night.

Eileen and I are going to be married.

Bullshit. It's true.

I nailed my share of babes.

They call me.

They hang around.

They sit on my car.

It's gotten old.

Yeah, but you don't have to get married.

Yeah, I mean, why buy the milk when the cow's free?

Yeah. Well, I didn't say I was getting married yet.

I just said I was getting engaged.

We got pictures in the paper.

Scholarship guys see that?

It's good for the relationship.

It's good all around.

It's fine.

Hey, Eileen's a great girl.

I love her.

Don't get all restless, buddy.

Thanks.

Where's the steak, buddy?

Where else?

Where's girls?

I'm sure you'll never get in.

Oh, it's all set up.

Unbelievable.

I knew a guy, you know this guy, who got in there once.

They have girls for everybody, man.

You can have a girl and a steak and put them both on a credit card.

Visa or Master Charge.

I'm late for work.

That'll be $5 .50.

You think this looks good on me? It makes you look much better.

Yeah, it's all right.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, I'll take it. Great.

Yeah.

Is it your... Well, no. But, you know, it's my father's, and I reimbursed him,

so... Hey, great looking jacket.

Oh, you like the jacket?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, actually, and Eileen, you can tell me if I'm wrong, I think it looks

better on him than it does on me.

You know, you're going to get tons of use out of this thing. I wear mine all

time. You know what I really like? It fits really nicely across the back on

Why don't you have a look in the three -way mirror?

Nice garment.

Listen, Eileen, I'm going to go on my dinner break now. I thought maybe you'd

like to come along.

It's on me. Maybe we could spend a little time. Paramount, are you asking

woman again?

Maybe some other time.

You going to buy something?

No.

Are you going to buy that?

What? I think it's too short.

You think so?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I got to agree with him. This does not work.

I don't think so.

Absolutely not.

Eileen, I'm... Why do you do this to me?

I don't even know what's trying to help. I told you not to come here when I'm

trying to work.

Here you are.

Why are you smiling?

Because I love you.

You are a mess.

Well, you never think you're good enough for the one you love. But you aren't

good enough.

Aren't you going to say something?

It's go time.

Right now, you and me.

Go back to Alexander High, and instead of being my woman, you'd be my wife.

What?

Eileen, I want you to marry me.

Absolutely not.

I just want to get engaged.

No!

It's casual.

What time did your flight get in last night?

Really late. I was exhausted.

Have

you

talked to Ron yet?

Yes, I talked to Ron. Told him to go jerk off. But I thought his hand would

reject the merchandise.

He did not. Of course I did. I can talk to him any way I want.

Ladies?

Hello.

Hi. I'm Bill Conrad.

I'm up in Unit 93.

And you are?

Not interested.

Hey, girls.

Hey, Louie.

Well, better get back to work.

until I'm at least 35.

I mean, married to some guy still in high school?

Forget it.

Now, I am not getting married until I have my own car, my own place,

and my own money.

Absolutely.

I totally agree.

God, you look great!

He was gonna lose his mind, huh?

I thought you said the place was phenomenal.

It is phenomenal.

It's great.

I'm finally my own boss.

The problem is it's costing more than I figured.

I need money.

What you need is a big raise.

Does St. Parker give me one?

I don't know.

What you need is a roommate.

A guy who can take care of himself.

Stay out of your way and pay his own rent.

Girls, please keep the ball in your own alley.

Now, come on. Getting a roommate kills the whole idea.

Living by yourself.

Maybe you're just not ready yet. You know, my cousin's 33. He still lives at

home. Well, maybe a roommate isn't such a bad idea.

There you go.

I know who.

Ronnie Silverman.

The guy idolized me in high school. His parents are rich.

It's perfect.

No, no. Ronnie Silverman got a scholarship. He moved away last weekend.

Really?

I guess.

Huh. He didn't even call me up.

You need a roommate, Bill.

I got it.

John Sims.

Bill, man. John Sims moved to San Francisco. He's a fag now.

Think.

Would you like to be my roommate?

I thought you never asked.

Phil, I'd be honored to be your roommate.

It's not totally great yet, but it's almost there. Are you kidding? It's

fantastic. It is a nice spread.

It's the best place I've ever lived in. Now, are you sure you can afford this,

Tom?

Yeah, my dad will pay half.

Good. He's glad to have me out of the house.

We're going to party every night.

Oh, no, Tom.

Contrary to popular opinion, I'm not on summer vacation.

It was hard to get into this place, and I want to stay here.

So what we have to do is we have to lay down some ground rule.

Fantastic shower!

Tom, can you come out here so we can talk, please?

See, the thing is, a lot of doctors live at this end of the complex.

So we have to be quiet if we want to stay here.

Okay.

Fantastic microwave, Bill!

This is great, man.

Did you bet that lady put a poodle in the microwave?

Blew up.

Gotta try that sometime.

What are you doing?

Hey. Look, don't go through my drawers.

This is my room.

Your room is mine.

No way, Drake.

Hey, that's not fair, man. Absolutely not.

Hey, you're the guy who needed a roommate.

You're the guy who needed the bread.

Yeah.

So, let's flip.

Okay.

Heads.

You lose.

Two out of three.

No. Come on, two out of three.

I found this place, please.

For you.

Ed, you look.

You want to clear your stuff out of the room?

I can't believe it. Hey, Bill.

Conrad, wait a minute.

I can't believe it. Listen, no, I'm going to make it up to you.

Listen, I want you to go to my stag party tonight.

Isn't the stag party supposed to happen right before a wedding?

Eileen and I are engaged.

Oh.

Of all Charlie's buddies, everyone in his outfit is the only one who never got

shot.

Led something like 20 missions, too.

Charlie must have kicked some ass in Nam.

Hey, don't say Nam. Call it Vietnam.

Vets don't like it when regular people call it Nam.

I want to meet Charlie.

I don't know if he wants to meet you.

Charlie's a secretive guy.

I pass his place almost every day.

I never see him.

He's not out playing in the Spraglers.

Well, he's got to come out sometime.

It's not that easy.

When he came back from Nam, he tried to cash a veterans check.

Someone spit on him in his own bank.

Did he kill the guy?

It was a girl.

Shit.

That's cold.

Man, no one gave a damn about us back then, Tony.

Hey, so what'd Eileen do when you asked her to marry you?

She went wild. All right, man.

All right.

Top control.

All clear.

Tom? Tom Redd.

After these drills, you'll never be the same again.

Okay.

How you doing? I'm looking for Steve.

I'm Steve.

Hi, Steve.

You guys got ID?

I'm gonna be straight with you.

I'm gonna be 30 in a couple of weeks.

It's a very important night in my life. You see, this is my stag party.

Aren't you Tom Drake?

Friend of the community.

Hey, you were great in the regionals last year.

Thanks, my man.

Listen, it'll be 20 bucks for the four of you and a three -drink minimum.

Thanks, bud.

Don't touch the girl.

This place, man, is just like a picture.

night for you last night and you didn't show up.

Honey, what kind of job do you think I have, huh?

I'm a goddamn public servant now. I just can't leave.

Look, I told my parents you were thinking about stopping by this week.

Oh, really?

Yeah, like we talked about.

That might be good.

You look nice tonight, Dave.

Got some sun today.

Can't we have a regular date? I mean, can't we just go somewhere?

Honey, this is a regular date.

I work nights.

Oh, damn!

Can't help it. The girl can't help it.

Can't help it, girl, can't help it. If she walks by, the men must get

Can't help it, girl, can't help it. If she wakes at night, the red lights turn

to toast. Can't help it, girl, can't help it. If she's got a lot, look at

Let's see what we've got here. This is okay.

Uh -oh.

You know what this is? It's a field bomb.

No way.

Sorry, little man. You've got to be 18 to purchase weaponry. You know that.

Those are dummy grenades.

Here. How about an authentic Marine jungle jacket instead?

44th Regiment, Vietnam.

There was no 44th regiment in Vietnam.

This jacket is new.

You're mistaken.

Look, ma 'am, my buddy's a vet.

I should take him down here and see this shit.

This is bullshit.

Please exit the store.

This is the best time I'll be around.

Quit moping, man. What's the problem?

It's not like we have prison records. They let us go.

I'd be in this lovely pool area. Because of the sun, it stays way, way late into

the afternoon. Oh, darling, look here, sweetheart. What an adorable dog. I just

won several prizes.

Are you all right? Are you okay?

Please, go, go. I'm very sorry.

Fashion Dynasty, can I help you? Okay, there's a woman in 14 who's stuffing

pants into her bag.

Harry? Yeah, listen to me. She was over at Sunglasses. Now she's stuffing pants,

men's pants.

Where are you, Harry?

I'm over here near the escalator.

Hi. She started off with Sunglasses. Now she's stuffing men's pants into her bag

at 14. You see her?

Carrie, this is not a good time. I'm really busy.

Could you do this?

Look, this kind of thing happens all the time on this floor. I really think it

would be a good experience for you if you handle this confrontation.

Really?

I'll be watching you.

Excuse me, miss, but could you either put the merchandise you're carrying back

or pay for it?

Look, I don't want to have to call for security, but if I have to, I will.

Yes, sir, baby.

Tommy!

I can't believe what you just did. That was the shoplifter, Tommy. He let her

get away.

Now I'm going to get in trouble again because of you.

Shoplifter, big deal.

Hey,

Eileen, I love you.

You only say that when you think it's going to take you places.

Now, that's not true. That's not true at all. Eileen, do you know where I was

last night?

Huh?

I was depressed.

Alone, I was thinking of you.

My friends wanted to take me to a strip club, but I didn't want to go. I want

you out.

Tommy, I have a lot to do.

Do you know what I give you that no other guy can deliver?

What's that?

No.

Look, Tommy, I think you better leave. I think you've bothered Eileen enough.

Who wants me to leave, Eileen?

I'm not kidding, Tommy.

I'm sick of your act. I mean, either you leave or I'm going to get somebody in

here to throw you out.

Okay.

Fine.

You better leave, Tommy.

This could be yours, Eileen.

I thought I told you.

You didn't.

I know,

I know, but it could be filled with a ring for you.

It's over between you and I.

There he is there, the guy in the blonde hair.

I'm just doing the sales from today. You're doing terrific work, Sam.

You know, I'll tell you, you're doing a lot better than I did when I started

here.

Well, thanks.

You know... You know, Eileen... You know, Eileen, I gotta

tell you, I think you're a real special salesperson. I really do.

Sometimes I think about you, and I wonder...

What it would be like to have you.

Oh, no.

I'm not kidding, Eileen. I'm crazy about you. I think about you all the time. I

really do, constantly.

I don't think so, Harry.

Look, there's a place we can go here in home furnishings. It's totally secluded.

Nobody will know we're there.

No, Harry, I don't think of you that way.

I turned you off.

No, not really. I like you. I like working with you.

No, I turned you off. I know when I turn somebody off. I turned you off.

I think I better go.

I'll just go.

Is it my hair?

It's not your hair.

Good night, Harry.

I broke up with Tommy in front of 50 shoppers.

At least with Tommy, you know where you stand.

David, I can't depend on him.

Sometimes he shows up.

Most of the time, he doesn't.

I think he just comes by when he's horny.

He just can't let men take advantage of you.

Have you tried calling him?

I wanted to.

But he told me I should be discreet.

Discreet?

Great, that's for other people, not you.

I know.

All the lights are on, Anita.

Well, maybe his roommate Rick's there, huh?

Stay here in the car, okay?

Can I help you?

Hi, is David here?

He's out on patrol.

What about Rick? Is Rick here?

This is Rick.

Hi.

Are you sure you don't want to write a note or something?

No.

I'm sorry if I bothered you.

It's all right.

Bye.

I know how you feel.

I can't believe I let him lie to me like that.

I have this poem that I've saved for a really long time.

It used to mean a lot to me.

I'll read it to you if you promise that you won't learn.

If you love something, let it go.

If it comes back to you, it's yours.

If it doesn't, it never was.

That sucks, Eileen.

Yeah, you're right.

I guess I haven't read it for a while.

Well, this is refreshing.

You're a bigger slob than I am.

Shut up.

Back and forth.

Take it the cable installer came?

This is him.

Yo.

I'm starving.

He's right behind you, Clint.

And you know we had a hand straight?

No.

I don't care.

I'm gonna make myself a huge roast beef sandwich.

Blow him away!

Blow him away!

Blow him away!

Thomas?

Where's my food?

Oh, I know.

This is all that's left.

We gotta get some more food.

And we got babes coming over later, too.

I'm probably hungry.

I thought you were engaged.

That's before we got this place.

Now it's bachelor -ama.

This is not gonna work.

Come on, Chief.

We'll bring a girl for you, too.

I don't want a girl.

Pussy.

Conrad.

You knew I partied before you asked me to move in.

Well, yeah, but it hasn't even been a week, and I've had partying up to my

I feel tense.

Listen, when's the last time you've experienced the pleasure of a woman?

None of your business.

Hey, dude, you could tell us.

Hey, I'm not the one going out with high school girls.

He is.

Listen, I'm going into my room.

When I come out, I want some of my food back in the refrigerator.

Some of the trash picked up off the floor. And can you put some of my albums

back in their covers, please?

Okay.

Okay? Okay, I will.

I promise, Bill, I will.

Thank you.

Who are you?

It's not a... Get out! Tommy said it was okay.

Stay loose, Tom. Later.

Ma 'am.

Oh, yeah. You're in 87, right?

93.

Craig, you guys got my check, right?

Yes,

yes, we did.

Bill, right?

Yes, he did.

Uh, you got another fellow living here.

Yeah,

we're splitting the rent. Works out pretty good.

He's loud, isn't he?

Well, I can talk to him about that. He listens to me.

You see, you better let us release you. We've got another race to two.

Wow. See, I didn't want a place that big to begin with.

You knew that.

We provide a service here. Either you pay for it or you leave. And if you

we keep the deposit.

State rule.

None of that.

Well, that's bullshit.

Listen, I like it here.

And I want to stay here. I've put up with every deposit and every increase

because I want to stay here.

But I will not pay another cent.

Look, look, look. Don't get carried away.

Talk to the owners about it, huh?

All right?

But do me a favor.

Tell that kid to keep it down, and, hey, no parties, all right?

No problem.

Come on, Randall, let's go back to my...

Is she laughing?

No.

Fashion Dynasty, this is Eileen speaking. Can I help you?

Hi, baby, it's me.

Oh, it's you. Don't hang up.

I just want to see you tonight.

That's impossible. Look at you.

You're never going to change.

Well, why change?

Eileen, I just want to see you.

I'm busy. And don't try coming by the department store.

You're barred. Well, Eileen, you're leaving me no alternative but to go out

another girl.

All right.

All right, goodbye.

I'm going to the coffee shop.

You want anything, love god?

Casual.

Be right back.

Hey, Robin.

Hi, Bill.

Can you make me a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich?

Oh, I suppose I could do that.

Thank you.

How's your boyfriend?

He's okay.

His boyfriend's gone.

You know, I would not know what to do in a situation like that.

Well, this is what you do.

You clean it up, you pull your pants up, you say, thank you, ma 'am, and then

you bust her old man.

Where's David? He's supposed to be here.

You know where he's at. He's up fucking that skinny little girl at Donut City.

He likes them in uniform.

He is from Sacramento.

I wonder if he's got anything left for his wife.

Nice handshake.

I have a joke for you in going back.

Okay, thank you, Tommy.

Where you going, bro?

Out.

What are you doing, Conrad? I'm leaving.

What do you mean you're leaving?

You've got to work till 10 o 'clock tonight. We've got leaguers coming in

I have to go.

Hey, this is our bread and butter. You can't walk out on a league night.

Okay.

Here, I'll be back later.

Tommy can take care of things.

You know I don't let Tommy touch the register.

You're working late tonight.

I'm sorry, Parkman. I got plans.

You got plans?

Poppy?

So, uh, what's fresh, huh?

It was a joke.

All right, look, I know I'm late. I got hung up with a four -car over on

Lakewood.

Are you married?

Ha! What, are you kidding me?

I went to your house.

Why did you do that?

I missed.

Oh, that's great.

That's superb.

Look, I didn't mess things up for you.

You didn't have to go to my...

You had your fun.

91 Baker, 10A.

I want to talk to you.

All right, what's the problem, son?

Daddy Carl, let's talk about it like a man.

I'm gonna arrest you like a man if you don't shut your mouth.

Oh, big man.

Fooling around with a high school girl?

I could have you arrested.

All right, I said shut up.

Get the hell out of here.

You could do better than that for your little girlfriend, can't you, son? Huh?

Huh? Now listen, I don't know your girlfriend.

You hear me?

Fuck you.

I think he's asleep.

Knock.

Um, Charlie, I brought a friend of mine to meet you.

I don't want to bother you or anything.

So if it's a hassle, we can come back.

Oh. Oh, come on in.

Tony. Charlie.

You got a new TV?

Bet you.

Yeah. It's a new ink, too.

Huh?

You don't want to touch it.

Yeah.

Charlie was a caisson, man.

77 days each.

The V .C. buildup was so extreme, no one thought they'd make it.

Right, Charlie?

That's right.

They shot at him for like 26 hours straight.

Never got hit, though.

Isn't that right, Charlie?

Jim, you probably know everything there is to know about Vietnam.

Yeah. Except what it was like to be there.

Except what it was like to be there.

And you're lucky about that, man.

You know, you better get something straight.

I do not want to go back there.

You keep thinking like that, you're going to end up in El Salvador,

man.

And you won't be watching Hueys and going bitching.

You guys want a drink of beer? There's some in the icebox.

Thanks.

Charlie?

We're gonna head out, Charlie.

Charlie?

We're getting going now. Hey, okay.

Come back sometime.

And bring your friends.

It was cool.

Everything about his place was cool.

Wow.

I should have said something.

I blew it.

No. He liked you.

I could tell.

A lot of doctors live here.

Yeah?

It's pretty quiet, though.

Especially over on the northern corner.

Wow.

Yeah, it's nice.

Bill, thanks for sticking up for me tonight.

It's really great.

Yeah, well, the guy pissed me off.

Well, maybe now is a good time for us to try and get back together.

Huh?

Yeah.

But on a trial basis, because... Oh, yeah, that's what I meant.

Absolutely. Because then we can be completely independent yet together.

Look at me.

Pardon us.

Can't wait to show you my apartment.

It's great.

We can be alone.

Can I ask you a personal question?

Anything.

Are you a virgin?

Do you hear something?

Yeah. Sounds like music.

Look, you don't live here. We live here and we're trying to...

Please turn the music down.

Hey, what is this?

Hey, man, this guy Billy Conrad's having a party. It's great.

Tommy.

to get these people out of here.

Foxy Penny.

Tommy, I didn't even think you knew me.

Oh, I know you. I do.

Listen, I like you, but I don't think so.

What's wrong?

I just think you tell everybody.

Penny? Me?

Do you know how that makes me feel?

A girl as beautiful as you saying that to me, that really hurts me, Penny.

I never knew you were so sensitive.

Well, I am.

Tommy, don't you have a girlfriend?

Listen, she doesn't like me anymore.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to go back out to the party.

I think you invited too many people.

up this time, Tom.

We're doomed.

Hey, it's not my fault, man. I just invited a few people. Look what

We're doomed.

Hey, they're popular guys.

Oh, God.

Everybody's enjoying themselves, buddy.

Tom, they're going to throw us out.

And neither you are looking really popular.

Thanks. Where's Eileen?

She doesn't like me anymore.

Tom, have the cops come yet? What about Craig Davis?

Hey, this is America, Bill.

We pay, we stay. And they can't do anything about it, so I want you to live

up, stud man.

This is the last summer blast.

I'm going to tell my dad I got my own place.

It's casual.

Don't you ever, don't you ever say I went with my type of idea.

Follow me.

Want to start with the kitchen?

You know, somehow I had the feeling that things were going to end up like this.

Just not so soon.

Connor, have you realized what went on in there last night?

Yes. We had a major blowout.

Well, so what?

I mean, look where it got us.

If you ask any one of those people ten years from now,

But the highlight of this year was, they'd have to say Bill Conrad's party.

gave them the best time they've ever had.

So what?

Don't you realize what you've done?

What? You've made the transformation, buddy.

From average guy to the Bill man.

You're a legend.

How you doing?

Will you look at me?

I've changed, Eileen.

I heard about the other night.

No, that wasn't me, Eileen. That was another guy altogether.

Tommy, you're immature.

And I really care about you.

Just give me another chance.

Another chance for what?

For a relationship.

Come on, I'll give you a ride to history.

Be a gentleman.

I'll see you later, Tommy.

Call you at home?

Are you kidding?

I'm gonna have a new place by this afternoon.

Great.

When's the first party?

Is he on me?

Huh.

Maybe I'll see you later.

Jim?

Yeah.

Thank you.
