All language subtitles for Summer of 72 Leslie Bovee

I saw Summer of 42 the other night on
the TV.

And I thought, hey, I had a summer just
like that.

Mine was in 72.

I was 20 then.

And they still called me Chunks.

72 began like 71 ended.

I was in my second year of college.

Boise City College.

Wasn't exactly Harvard.

To me, it was like high school.

I was still carrying some baby fat.

I still used clearasil.

And I was still a virgin.

In June, my brother broke his leg.

And his best friend, Mitchell Carter,
asked me if I'd like to take my

place on a week's vacation to
California.

Mitch still wanted to go.

I thought about the sun and fun.

And I thought about the ocean.

I told Mitch yes in a hurry.

That's how it started that summer.

Back in 72

Wow

Farah

Beautiful. Sure beats the old you bag
'em.

Wow,

it all looks good.

How about right over there?

Oh.

Wow. Nice.

Look at that.

What are you looking at?

That's the next score, buddy.

Score?

Yeah. What's the score?

Pussy.

Pussy.

Here, look.

Turn it a little bit.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Not bad.
They're fantastic.

They're beautiful.

I have seen in a long time.

Wow.

You know something, Chunk?

We're going to be slipping the meat to
those girls in no time at all.

No,

I mean it.

Creepshit monster, Sam.

She's just a little shy.

Looks like, um, your friend is, too.

Huh? I'm not texting that, Sally. Just
so I don't ever see you again.

That's a gentleman.

And you're not?

I'm an animal.

Well,

that's too short.

Ow! Looks like we got us a real animal.

It jumps.

What? You're in a pants -running town.

I'm gonna fill the front just right down
the back.

Does this kind of thing always happen
out in California?

Don't you hear?

Don't you hear?

All the time.

Boy.

You hear what he's saying?

I haven't come yet.

When will I come back home?

I heard you girls from California were
good.

And I never expected anything like this.

This is nothing.

You know, we can't do anything.

Where should we get to my house?

Really? You got your own house?

Yeah, my parents' house.

Remember? Oh, yeah.

She was just carrying a bag of
groceries.

She was the most horrific woman that I'd
ever seen.

I remember thinking, she's too old for
me.

But that was the kind of woman I wanted
to meet.

That was the kind of woman I wanted to
love.

She didn't notice me.

Not a blink.

I thought I'd probably never see her
again.

As if things weren't bad enough,

Betsy just sat there like a lump.

At least she didn't say anything.

I could just stay here forever.

Couldn't you, Joe?

Yeah. I have dreamed of this moment
forever.

Hey, chumps.

Everybody's had a hit except for you. Do
you want some?

What are you doing?

I was trying to get you high.

What's the matter? You on downers or
something?

No, I just didn't know what you were
doing.

Here, take a couple of hits.

It'll help you focus.

Yeah, just take a deep breath.

Now, suck on it, inhale it, and hold it
in.

Hope everybody likes bourbon. I love
bourbon.

Well, let's party then we need some
music

Toast

with me, California

You want some joint?

Yeah, please.

Oh, no, here.

Have some passion.

Here you go.

Let's make you a little more comfortable
here.

Uh -huh. We brought this from, uh...

Idaho.

Idaho hash. Idaho hash is made from
potatoes.

Take all you can. Good.

Now hold it in. Hold it in.

Hold it.

Hold it.

Now blow it into my mouth.

I bet you think I'm really out of it,
don't you?

The way I acted before.

No, I don't think you're out of it.

No, I like you.

It's just I don't like to jump into bed
with a guy without knowing him.

Oh, I agree. I don't really even respect
a girl who would jump into bed without

getting to know me.

I respect you.

You respect me?

Yeah. Yeah?

Good.

You want me to chug it?

Very good.

Oh, you'll be alright.

How does it look from there?

Let me help out a little bit.

Thank you.

Come here.

Eat me.

Today's my birthday.

How old are you?

18.

I'd love a spanking.

18 years old?

Mm -hmm.

Eight.

Nine.

How do you like your present?

Don't tease me.

You hot in here?

You hot?

No. I'm getting hot.

You want to fuck?

What?

Me, you idiot.

Let's fuck.

Don't be so gross.

Why do you have to talk like that?

Like what?

Say fuck?

Yeah.

Don't you say fuck?

Don't your friends say fuck?

Some of them do, but...

But I certainly do.

Haven't you ever heard of women's
liberation?

Candy, do you think you can save the
women's lib?

Just for tonight, okay?

I have heard of women's liberation.

What's the matter, Chuck?

I don't think I'm ready yet.

Well, I'll get you ready.

Oh! Yeah.

Don't worry.

It's all ready.

The room's spinning.

Why don't you lay down?

I don't feel so good.

your chunks out.

Well, I always heard that a woman
without a man is like a fish without a

Candy, what are you talking about?

How would you like to be queen for a
day?

Please go down.

Okay, this is a substitute.

I didn't like it when somebody looks at
you like that.

It feels so good.

It's wonderful.

Why don't you eat me?

Okay.

I'll lay you down.

You'll lay. Oh, that's okay.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, Shanks, why'd you pass out last
night?

What?

Why'd you pass out last night?

I don't know. I passed out last night.

How could you do that?

Why are you yelling at me?

I didn't do it on purpose.

I'm yelling at you because it was a
really stupid thing to do, Shanks.

Really stupid.

It was probably all that booze.

And those girls.

And all that grass.

One minute, they were all playing with
my clothes.

And the next minute, somebody just
turned the lights off.

Before or after?

Before or after what?

Before or after you got laid.

You didn't get laid, did you?

That's fucking incredible, you bozo.

I don't believe it. You end up with two
of the most beautiful girls you've ever

been with in your life.

Two of them. That's four sets of tits.

And you can't even stay awake long
enough to count them, let alone lay

I bet you're still a virgin, aren't you?

Hey, Mitch, why don't you lighten up?

We're friends, aren't we?

So?

Well, I've known your brother for a real
long time, and I've known you for a

long time.

So I think you ought to trust me.

And I'm trying to tell you that it's not
normal to be a virgin at 20 years old.

What do you know?

I know what I know. I know it's not
normal to be a virgin at 20 years old.

You do like girls, don't you, Chunks?

What kind of crack is that?

It's not a crack. It's a simple
question.

Question?

You're asking me if I'm queer.

I'm not asking you if you're queer. I
wouldn't room with a goddamn faggot.

Yeah? Some people don't care who they
fuck.

What'd you say?

Fuck you!

My goddamn best friend's kid brother
mouthing off to me.

I'll slap your fucking face off.

Hey, look, I didn't mean to insult you.

I just don't like you telling me who I
can fuck and who I can't.

Where and when.

I'm sorry, okay?

Look at Chunks. We're on vacation,
right?

Yeah.

You want to have a good time?

Yeah. So do I.

From now on, you just go where you want,
and you fuck who you want, and I'll go

where I want, and I'll fuck who I want.

Okay. I just really still think it's
strange for a 20 year old to be a

Not normal.

You do know how to do it, don't you?

I'm gonna take a shower.

I'm gonna watch some fuck flicks, Chunk.

Excuse me, sir. I was going to clean
your room, but I can come back another

time. No, that's okay.

Oh, but I really should just go.

No, that's all right. Go ahead and do
your thing.

Well, if you're sure.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Is there

anything

else I can do for you, sir?

Yeah, you can give me head.

Oh, there.

That's so embarrassing. I just couldn't.

Sure you could.

Come on and suck my cock.

Well, the customer is always right.

I always like to please the customers.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's so big. It's a nice big red
cock.

That's a good mate, isn't he?

This is good room service.

Have

I

been a good maid?

You've been more than good.

Don't you think I deserve a turn?

I sure do.

I feel

so

good between my teeth.

They're so hot.

I think I'd love it if you licked my
clit.

They're so hot.

Yes.

Lick it. I love it.

Oh.

Oh, that's so nice.

Tongue feels so smooth.

Mm -hmm. Oh.

Oh,

yeah.

Oh.

Oh, it's a good time.

Oh.

Oh, it's so hot.

Come over here and suck me.

Yeah.

God, Nate.

Get the door, would you? I'm wet.

Go to the bathroom.

Get the door.

Oh, my God.

Are you Chunks?

Yeah. I'm your emergency room service.

Mitch! You stupid goddamn...

I knew Mitch Mattwell.

I wasn't really mad at him.

At 20 years old, in 1972, it wasn't
normal to be a virgin.

I couldn't explain it to myself.

How the fuck was I going to talk to
Mitch about it?

I was as interested in girls as any
other guy, but when it came down to the

act of intercourse, well, I'd just get
cold feet.

It wasn't so much that I worried about
not being good enough or knowing enough.

It was about not caring enough.

I ran into girls who would just expect a
guy to be turned on like a switch.

I wasn't.

I couldn't.

Maybe I was watching too many old movies
late at night on the tube.

It was always really romantic.

I don't know.

Real life wasn't working out like that.

Maybe I did pass out on purpose.

Maybe I just couldn't deal with girls
like Julie and Candy.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

You.

It's you.

I never... I'm sorry.

Don't get up.

It's a beach, not a ballroom.

Do you know me?

No, but I saw you in town.

Oh.

Oh, please.

Thanks.

That's pretty dumb, huh?

Standing up in pain when you need a
piece.

Oh, actually, you know, it's pretty
refreshing.

Yeah? Yeah. I get a little out of it,
that's all.

I'll play my specialty.

Oh.

Have I intruded on some serious
thinking?

Valerie's friend.

Joe. Joseph Benson.

Everybody calls me Chunk. Hi. Hi.

Chunk? Chunk.

You like that?

No.

No, I've never liked it.

Well, then, hi, Joe Benson.

Hi, Valerie.

Hi, Valerie.

So, do you come here often?

No.

Me?

Me and Mitch.

The friend. Well, my brother's friend.

We're in college.

That's right.

How old are you?

How old am I?

Well, let's just say that I'm over 30.

You think you can still trust me?

God, what a dumb thing to ask.

Why do I always ask dumb questions?

Well, it really wasn't that dumb.

Yeah? A little stupid, Mitch.

You know, for someone who's so down on
himself, you really do laugh a lot.

So where is this Mitch?

Mitch.

Mitch is either at a massage parlor
or...

I've got a chance.

I'm a champion wrestler.

We'll soon see, won't we?

Yeah, we'll soon see.

One, two, three.

I just blew the belt. I should hope so.

I told you I'd get you down.

You tell me you're a champion.

about a number of your shit.

Oh, no, no.

Well, why aren't you with him?

That's what I was trying to figure out.

Uh -huh.

No!

Say uncle, Mitch.

Uncle Mitch.

Say uncle.

You know, you should feel embarrassed,
Joe.

I do.

God, you know, being a romantic is
something special.

Something to be cherished.

Someday you're going to meet someone,
and everything will be right.

And all of these warm, tender feelings
that you've stored up inside are going

come spilling out all over the place.

You shouldn't ever apologize for being
gentle and caring.

Not ever.

I'll never meet anybody.

Oh, you will. You'll meet people.

Lots of them.

And when you meet the right ones, you'll
be a very lucky young lady.

Oh. Well, thanks for walking me home,
Joe.

Home?

Yeah, I live right over there.

Well, I really like talking to you.

Maybe I can see you again.

You know where I live.

You take care of yourself, Joe.

And don't worry.

Yeah.

So long.

I'm not ready to give in.

Never.

Say uncle.

Uncle.

Uncle.

Want to go best two out of three?

I like that here.

Yeah.

It's nice like you.

I really wanted to come outside before,
but... But what?

You just always end up going to the bed.

And the night air feels so nice.

So do you.

You feel nice.

You see, I got a sun tan today.

You put your lines up, huh?

Uh -huh. Just for you.

Not just that.

Don't leave the other one out.

How much more, Doc?

Don't stop there.

Stop anywhere.

How dare you wear this on the beach?

Just for you. Uh -huh.

I hope.

I'm sure you're not the only one that
liked it, though.

Baby, it's just the first time for you.

You wouldn't want it for nobody else.

Oh, thank you. You're the only one for
me. You know that.

I hope it don't stop here.

It's good.

Oh, nice.

Yeah.

It tastes good.

It's good.

Keep going. Keep going.

Nice. Just keep going.

Nice.

Do you want me to stop? No, don't stop.

Just keep going.

Don't stop keep going

How does that feel?

It feels wonderful. I really know what I
want more.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh,

baby.

Oh, don't stop.

Yeah.

That's for an object.

and on the beach walking.

Yes, I had the tests taken this morning.

The technician said that he...

What?

Do not be alarmed.

Feel better?

Everything's okay.

Good.

This is a long show.

You're going to make a lot of things in
your life.

Many of them are going to be more
skilled and more beautiful than I am.

But I just wanted you to know that I'll
remember you for the rest of my life.

You gonna take that off?

Should

I

be doing anything?

That tiny room at the beach was
absolutely the perfect place for my

When we came together, I could feel the
hairs growing on my chest.

I saw my future.

I saw my past.

For a few minutes, it was like being
alive and they live happily ever after.

All my questions had been answered.

And all my fears disappeared.

All that was left was...

A kiss.

Every move we made was a kiss.

Oh.

Wow.

Chugs, come on, let's get going. It's a
long drive back to Boise.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Hey, whatever happened to that mystery
lady of yours, anyway?

I don't know.

She's just gone.

The real estate agent said that she only
had the house for the summer.

He didn't have any forwarding address.

Hi -ho, Silver!

And away!

Who was that mystery lady who rode off
with Chunks' cherry?

That's real funny, man.

Well, you gotta admit, the whole thing
was pretty strange.

Not for me.

We're still friends, aren't we?

You want to be my friend?

Yeah, I want to be your friend.

All right.

Don't call me Chunks anymore.

Call me Joe.

Oh, a name change.

It's kind of drastic.

You know, do all at once.

Why don't we kind of do it in steps?

I'll call you Chunky Joe.

Forget it. That's all right. Come on,
not really. We can be famous. You can be

Chunky Joe and the Fish, the famous rock
band.

All right.

I guess everybody's got to grow up.

Even you, tit -tit.

If you want to be called Joe, it's good
enough for me.

I'm never going to forget her.

Yeah, maybe you will, maybe you won't.

Boys, he's a long way off. And I hear
the potatoes calling.
