WANT TO COME PLAY VIDEO GAMES?

I GOT TO DO THIS ESSAY.

BORING.

HEY, ISN'T THAT MY WATCH?

YEAH... I'M JUST BORROWING IT.

MINE'S BROKEN.

WELL, GET IT FIXED!

OKAY.

RELAX.

HEY, GUYS.

HEY, SNAKE.

YOU WANT TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES?

I'VE GOT HOMEWORK.

YOU GUYS AMAZE ME.

I'LL SEE YOU AT HOME.

LATER.

HOME!

HE TAKES MY STUFF WITHOUT ASKING ME.

HE SNORES.

HE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY.

ASK HIM TO LEAVE.

I CAN'T--

HE'S MY FRIEND.

Woman on P.A.: If Mr. Walfish is here, please come to the office.

"IN AN EXPRESS CONTRACT, ALL TERMS ARE CLEARLY DEFINED.

"IN AN IMPLIED CONTRACT, NOTHING IS PRECISELY STATED

OR WRITTEN."

WE'RE CLOSING IN FIVE MINUTES, GIRLS.

WHY MUST A SCHOOL LIBRARY CLOSE AT 4:00?

WHAT DO THESE PEOPLE GET PAID FOR?

MICHELLE, CALM DOWN.

ALEXA, I HAVE TO DO WELL ON THIS TEST.

I GOT A "D" ON THE LAST ONE

AND I CANNOT STUDY AT HOME.

YOU MUST HAVE THE WORST ROOMMATES.

IS EVERY NIGHT PARTY TIME?

YES.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIND ANOTHER APARTMENT.

I CAN'T.

THIS IS THE CHEAPEST I COULD FIND

WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY

NO ONE EVER CLEANS UP.

THE KITCHEN IS FILTHY.

EVEN THE COCKROACHES COMPLAIN.

YOU ALMOST MAKE ME GLAD I LIVE AT HOME.

HEY, MOM.

HI.

JOEY, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

IT'S IMPORTANT.

DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE?

YEAH, SURE.

HOW LONG WILL WHEELS STAY WITH US?

I DON'T KNOW, MOM.

HE'S BEEN HERE A MONTH.

IT'S VERY DRAINING.

HE'S GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

HIS GRANDMOTHER WANTS TO TALK TO HIM.

HE CAN'T STAND HER.

SHE'S NOT EXACTLY WILD

ABOUT HIM, EITHER.

ALSO, MONEY HAS BEEN DISAPPEARING FROM MY PURSE.

WELL... WAIT A MINUTE, MOM.

WHEELS DOESN'T STEAL.

WHO ELSE, THEN?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

SOMETHING'S BEEN HAPPENING TO THAT MONEY

AND IT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE SHORTLY AFTER

WHEELS ARRIVED.

LET ME TALK TO HIM.

WHEN?

TOMORROW.

I'VE GOT TO DO THIS ESSAY TONIGHT

ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT.

BUT WHATEVER HAPPENS, HE HAS TO LEAVE, JOEY--

SOON.

OKAY.

( car stereo blaring )

( honks horn )

THANKS FOR THE RIDE.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

UH... CAN YOU WAIT A SECOND?

WHAT?

DID YOU TAKE ANY MONEY

FROM MY MOM'S PURSE?

WHAT?

BECAUSE IF YOU DID

YOU HAVE TO TELL ME.

NO, I DON'T STEAL.

JOEY, WHY WOULD I BE SO STUPID?

I LOVE LIVING AT YOUR HOUSE.

IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN HAPPY

SINCE MY PARENTS WERE KILLED.

IF YOU WERE BORROWING IT, I'D UNDERSTAND.

JOEY-- I DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING.

MAYBE SHE SPENT IT AND FORGOT.

BUT I DIDN'T TAKE ANY MONEY.

A BREACH OF CONTRACT.

WHEN...

WHEN ONE PERSON DOESN'T FULFILL

HIS OBLIGATION UNDER THE CONTRACT?

RIGHT.

MICHELLE?

DISCHARGING THE CONTRACT.

Woman: Please see Arthur Kobolowski in the cafeteria.

First come, first served.

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS DUMB STUFF ANYWAY?

THE TEST IS TOMORROW.

I COULDN'T GET ANY STUDYING DONE.

I BEGGED THEM TO TURN DOWN THE STEREO

BUT THEY IGNORED ME.

YOU HAVE TO MOVE.

ALL I WANT IS A QUIET PLACE TO STUDY.

WHAT ABOUT, LIKE, YOUR DAD'S HOUSE?

NO, NO... HE'D TAKE IT AS A SIGN THAT I COULDN'T MANAGE

ON MY OWN.

WAIT A MINUTE-- SIMON, YOU'RE BRILLIANT!

I AM?

HE IS?

YES-- MY DAD HAS

A COOKING CLASS TODAY.

THE HOUSE WILL BE EMPTY!

YOU MEAN... SNEAK IN?

WON'T HE KNOW?

I CAN STUDY AND BE GONE BEFORE HE GETS BACK.

SIMON, YOU ARE A GENIUS.

I DON'T KNOW...

I GUESS.

Snake: IT MAKES SENSE, DOESN'T IT?

WHERE HAS HE BEEN GETTING THE MONEY?

MY MOM SAYS SHE'S BEEN LOSING MONEY SINCE HE ARRIVED.

HE'S ALWAYS GOT MONEY TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES.

CAN YOU BUY ME ONE?

Luke: I GOT TO SPLIT.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

COME PLAY DOMINOES.

HEY, HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

FINE.

MINE WAS AWFUL.

WE HAD TWO POP QUIZZES.

BUMMER.

WHEELS, HOW COME YOU CAN ALWAYS AFFORD

TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES?

I HAVE SOME MONEY SAVED-- WHY?

NOTHING-- I WAS JUST, UH...

WONDERING.

YOU STILL THINK I TOOK THE MONEY.

SOMEBODY MUST HAVE TAKEN IT.

THIS IS GREAT.

MY BEST FRIEND DOESN'T BELIEVE ME.

THANKS A LOT... JERK.

JERK?!

YOU'RE CALLING ME A JERK?

HOW MUCH LONGER ARE YOU STAYING AT MY HOUSE?

UNTIL I FIND SOMEPLACE.

YOU'RE NOT LOOKING!

I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE SAVINGS?

THEY'RE NOT ENOUGH.

OH, OF COURSE NOT-- SILLY ME.

( radio music blares )

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

WHY DON'T YOU LOOK FOR A JOB

THEN MAYBE LOOK FOR SOME APARTMENTS.

I'VE GOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS ALREADY.

GIVE ME A BREAK!

I HAVEN'T HAD IT EASY LIKE YOU.

MY PARENTS WERE KILLED.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS BRING THAT UP?

THAT WAS OVER TWO YEARS AGO.

YOU DON'T GET OVER SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

HEY, YOU TOOK THE LAST ONE!

SO?-- FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.

ANYWAY, I DON'T NEED A LECTURE

FROM A JERK LIKE YOU.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

WHAT YOU NEED IS TO START LOOKING

FOR SOMEWHERE ELSE TO LIVE.

MY PARENTS WANT YOU OUT.

WHAT?

YOU CAN STAY HERE

TILL YOU FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO LIVE, BUT YOU'VE GOT

TO START LOOKING.

WHY WAIT?

I WON'T STAY SOMEPLACE WHERE I'M NOT WANTED.

I'M OUT OF HERE.

GO AHEAD.

FINE!

GIVE ME MY WATCH!

BE CAREFUL!

THANKS A LOT.

SOME FRIEND YOU ARE.

( thunder )

Snake's mom: GO ON, TELL HIM.

Snake: OKAY-- I'LL TELL HIM.

WELL?

MY PARENTS SAY NO.

DIDN'T YOU TELL THEM

IT WAS JUST FOR ONE NIGHT?

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU TOLD JOEY'S PARENTS.

YOUR PARENTS ARE JERKS!

YOU CAN HARDLY BLAME THEM-- YOU DO HAVE A REPUTATION.

RIGHT, SO I'M CONDEMNED--

GUILTY WITHOUT A TRIAL.

FINE, I'LL LEAVE.

I'M SORRY.

SO AM I.

I THOUGHT I HAD FRIENDS.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO

TO YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S?

FORGET IT.

( thunder )

HELLO, HOUSE.

IT'S JUST ME.

( clock chimes )

( gasps )

MICHELLE, I THOUGHT YOU WERE A BURGLAR.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

DON'T YOU HAVE A COOKING CLASS?

THEY ENDED LAST WEEK.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I NEEDED A QUIET PLACE

TO STUDY FOR A TEST.

I NEEDED SOME SPACE.

NO, DON'T GO.

YOU CAN STUDY HERE.

I DON'T MIND.

I WON'T DISTURB YOU.

OKAY.

I'LL USE MY OLD ROOM, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT?

THAT'S JUST FINE.

THANKS.

THANKS.

( knocking )

COME IN.

I DIDN'T WANT TO DISTURB YOU

BUT I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE SOMETHING TO EAT.

I MADE THESE MYSELF.

WELL, THANKS.

WHAT ARE YOU STUDYING?

BUSINESS-- CONTRACTS.

IF I CAN HELP.

I CAN FIGURE IT OUT FOR MYSELF.

BUT THANKS.

HOW ARE THINGS AT YOUR PLACE?

GREAT, FINE.

I CAN TELL SOMETHING'S WRONG.

IT GETS A LITTLE NOISY AT TIMES.

IT'S NO BIG DEAL.

YOU COULD MOVE BACK HOME.

I'M DOING FINE IN MY HOME.

YOU CAN HARDLY CALL IT A HOME.

I'M PERFECTLY HAPPY THERE.

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE STUDYING?

WHY SHOULD YOU BE IN THAT CRAMPED DINGY LITTLE ROOM?

I DON'T NEED THIS.

I'M LEAVING.

NO, DON'T GO.

I'M SORRY.

I'LL LEAVE YOU TO STUDY.

MICHELLE.

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO FIGHT WITH YOU.

AS HARD AS THIS MAY BE TO BELIEVE

I LOVE YOU.

( phone rings )

HELLO.

IT'S ME, GRANDMA.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, DEREK?

I NEED A PLACE TO STAY.

JOEY'S PARENTS THREW ME OUT.

I KNOW.

YOU WERE STEALING.

NO!

I DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING.

YOU LIE AND YOU LIE.

I DO NOT, GRANDMA.

COME ON, PLEASE.

YOU'VE GOT TO LET ME COME OVER.

IF I LET YOU BACK, YOU'LL STICK BY MY RULES.

FINE.

You'll go to school.

You'll do your chores.

NO PROBLEM.

YOU'LL RETURN TO COUNSELING.

I DON'T NEED COUNSELING.

Yes, you do.

OKAY, OKAY, I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT.

JUST LET ME COME OVER.

THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT, I PROMISE.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU, DEREK.

But you have to.

It's pouring out here.

Where am I going to go?

THERE ARE SHELTERS.

THAT'S FOR BUMS AND LOSERS.

NO, THEY'RE FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO.

GRANDMA, WAIT!

( dial tone )

Hello?

MARK?

Who's this?

HEY, IT'S ME, WHEELS.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

Pretty good-- what are you up to?

( clock chimes )

WOULD YOU LIKE A LIFT

BACK TO YOUR APARTMENT?

IT'S BUCKETING OUT THERE.

SURE, THAT'D BE GREAT.

IT WAS GOOD TO SEE YOU.

ANY TIME YOU NEED A PLACE TO STUDY

THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN.

THANKS.

DAD...

WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT ME MOVING BACK...

THERE'S SO MUCH ROOM.

IT MAKES GOOD SENSE.

I'D WANT TO PAY RENT.

DON'T BE SILLY.

IT'S NOT SILLY.

WE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WHEN I LIVED HERE.

I WANT IT TO BE DIFFERENT.

SO, IF I COME BACK, I THINK WE NEED A CONTRACT.

WE DON'T NEED A CONTRACT.

IT WOULD MAKE ME LIKE A TENANT.

I COULD COME AND GO AS I PLEASE, NO CURFEWS.

YOU CAN'T STAY OUT ALL NIGHT.

YOU'RE 17 YEARS OLD.

AND I'VE BEEN LIVING ON MY OWN FOR A YEAR.

I DON'T WANT YOU STAYING OUT ALL NIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, WE CAN NEGOTIATE SOMETHING

LIKE I PROMISE TO PHONE YOU.

I'D LIKE SOMETHING, TOO.

I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU, SAY...

THREE EVENINGS A WEEK.

ONE.

TWO.

ONE AND A HALF--

ONE ONE WEEK, TWO THE NEXT

AND IT'S NOT FAIR

TO MAKE IT A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

MAYBE WE SHOULD BE WRITING SOME OF THIS DOWN.

OKAY, ITEM ONE-- RENT.

ITEM ONE-- RENT.

( thunder on TV )

Narrator: It's pouring down here

but there's still plenty to see inside.

If you're willing to rough it

visit a man who's really roughing it-- Jimmy Montesino.

I HOPE HE'S HOME.

( phone rings )

I'LL GET IT.

SIMPSON RESIDENCE.

Hello.

SNAKE...

IT'S ME.

You got to help.

Please.

AH...

NO PROBLEM--

I'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

IT'S A CONSUMER SURVEY.

OKAY, I LIKE BUTTER OVER MARGARINE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DON'T JOKE AROUND.

I NEED A PLACE TO STAY.

IT'S POURING OUT HERE.

MARMALADE OVER JAM--

DEFINITELY!

( whispering ): WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

WHOLE WHEAT, ACTUALLY.

I LIKE THE FIBER.

I'LL MEET YOU OUT BACK IN TWO MINUTES.

DON'T KNOCK, DON'T LET ANYONE SEE YOU.

( loudly ): BAGELS, DEFINITELY!

THANKS.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

ANY TIME.

THEY WERE JUST ASKING SOME QUESTIONS--

SOMETHING TO DO WITH BREAKFAST.

He's not slowing up after more than four days...

WEIRD.

( thunder )

I JUST REALIZED--

I LEFT MY BIKE OUTSIDE.

WEIRD.

MAN, I'M SOAKED!

NOT SO LOUD!

WHAT?

I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK TO YOU.

MY PARENTS HEARD ABOUT THE MONEY YOU STOLE.

I DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING.

WHY DOES EVERYBODY THINK I DID?

LOOK--

YOU HAVE TO LET ME STAY HERE.

THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE.

MY GRANDMOTHER WON'T EVEN LET ME IN.

I CAN'T!

SNAKE, PLEASE.

I'M DESPERATE.

I'VE GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

YOU CAN'T COME INSIDE BUT...

YOU CAN SLEEP ON THE PORCH.

OUTSIDE?!

THERE'S A COUCH AND I'LL GET YOU A BLANKET.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE GONE BY 7:00.

MY PARENTS CAN'T SEE YOU.

THANKS.

IT'S THE BEST I CAN DO.

NO PROBLEM.

I'LL FREEZE TO DEATH.

THIS IS ALL JOEY'S FAULT.

I THOUGHT HE WAS A FRIEND.

THE GUY'S A TOTAL LOSER.

LOSER?

AFTER HE LET YOU STAY AT HIS PLACE FOR WEEKS?

YOU ARE SO SELF-CENTERED!

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME.

YOU'VE HAD IT EASY.

YOUR PARENTS ARE STILL ALIVE.

SO?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "SO?"

SO YOU CAN'T HIDE BEHIND THAT FOREVER.

TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY!

IT'S NOT MY FAULT THEY WERE KILLED.

NO, BUT IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR MESSING UP.

IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU'RE STAYING OUT HERE TONIGHT.

EVERYONE TRIED TO HELP

BUT ALL YOU DO IS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US.

YOU'D BETTER BE GONE BY 7:00.

Girl: This morning's soccer game has been rescheduled

for Monday at 8:00.

We are two games away from division champion.

NO WAY!

THAT'S AWESOME!

I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.

I GUESS YOU'VE HEARD WHERE I SPENT THE NIGHT.

YEAH.

I CALLED MY GRANDMA.

I'M GOING TO TALK TO HER THIS AFTERNOON.

FINE.

I'VE BEEN DOING SOME THINKING.

I GUESS I'VE BEEN KIND OF STUPID.

( bell rings )

I'M REALLY SORRY.

THINGS ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT FROM NOW ON.

YEAH, RIGHT.

I TOOK THE MONEY FROM YOUR MOM.

I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO BELIEVE ME

BUT I'M GOING TO MAKE IT UP TO HER.

I'M GOING TO PAY HER BACK--

EVERY CENT.

I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT.

YOU'LL SEE IT.

YOU'LL SEE IT.
