No, dad.

I bought it.

You stole it, didn't you?

I bought it!

Where'd you get the money?

I took back some bottles.

You think money grows on trees?

You think we got money to waste?

I had plans for that money.

I have to go...

Yeah, right.

Punk.

Don't you ever talk back.

Joey: Watch this!

Joey jeremiah, esquire

King of the skateboard.

Hey, rick, buddy, how're you doing?

Hi, mr. Raditch.

Fooling around again?

This calls for a visit

To the nurse's office

And then a chat

With the principal.

Go on.

Susie: Rick munro is so cute.

Caitlin: I hear he's on probation.

Probably for beating someone up.

He's always got lots of bruises.

Joey, what happened to you?

These guys were beating up a little kid.

I had to stop them.

So you're here for a commendation?

Mr. Raditch wants me to see

Mr. Lawrence.

Mr. Jeremiah is here

For another chat.

Lawrence ( over phone ): Send him in.

Good morning, students.

Only one announcement this morning--

Mr. Lawrence asked me to remind you

That Thursday is photo day.

Remember, these are pictures

You'll want to show friends and relatives

And look at yourselves over the years.

So please, try to dress your best... For a change.

Hi, voula.

Hello.

Look, I'm sorry for thanking joey

Instead of you

During the election.

Won't you forgive me?

It wouldn't look good for our school president

To be talking

To a peasant like me.

Voula!

Is that how you'll dress

For photo day?

Of course!

Your mom will love those pictures.

Or doesn't she know

About your new image?

He always looks so tragic.

It must be weird to flunk

And your friends are in grade eight.

I don't think he has friends.

He's such a loner

And he never smiles.

I think we should help him.

We should make him smile.

Everyone has to smile.

Voula: So photo day is this Thursday.

I can't wait.

Yeah, I think I'll wear

My castrol t-shirt.

Very classy, l.D.

Very classy.

Hello, ladies.

What happened to your eye?

These three big guys

Said stephanie was only

The second best president

This school has ever had.

I taught them a lesson.

Good morning, aspiring scholars.

You'll be pleased to know

I've marked your papers.

Some of you will be pleased.

You going to dress up for photo day?

Of course!

It'll be the classic case of the four js--

"joey jeremiah in his jean jacket."

Mr. Jeremiah!

How many times have you been told

That socializing is not done in my class?

Some of you still need improvement...

Joey, is that you?

Mom, why are you home?

I decided to do some cleaning

Around here.

It's a dirty job.

Joey, what happened to your eye?

It was really weird!

I'm studying when, wham!

This book jumps up, hits me in the eye!

Did the nurse see it?

Yeah, sure.

Just a surface wound.

She told me not to study.

Hey, my room!

You cleaned up my room!

What'd you clean my room for?

I got fed up.

I was going to do it tomorrow.

Don't worry.

I didn't throw anything out.

That's not the point.

This is an invasion of my privacy.

Dad!

It was a dirty job.

Sure, make jokes.

I thought I had some rights here.

What are you doing?

My jacket!

My favorite jacket!

It was a wreck, joey.

We bought you a new one last week.

I can't wear a new one.

I've got to break it in.

And Thursday's photo day!

I was going

To wear this one!

You've ruined everything!

I'm sorry, joey...

This is child abuse!

Joey: There should be a parent exchange

Because I've really had it with mine.

I mean, no respect!

Parents are a real pain.

It's child abuse.

It took months

To get that jacket right.

Then they go and wreck it.

I got nothing for photo day.

Hey, jeremiah.

You really need a jacket?

I might have one I could sell you.

Like, used and everything?

Everything I've got is used.

I've got to see it first.

So, come see it.

To your place?

Meet me here after school.

All right!

Thanks, buddy.

Just because you're buying my jacket

Doesn't make us "buddies."

Yeah, sure-- okay.

Here he comes.

Rick--

I've got a joke.

It's really funny.

Why did the turtle cross the road?

Because it was the chicken's day off!

Voula--

I need your advice.

I wouldn't presume to offer advice

To someone so important.

Would you stop that?

We used to be best friends.

I still want to be.

If I get my pictures taken

In home clothes

Everyone will laugh.

But if I wear school clothes

My mom will ground me

For the rest of my life when she sees.

I don't know what to do.

That's your problem.

Jeez, nice bike!

Wow!

Hi.

Come on, let's go.

Come with me.

Rick: I said come on!

So, this is the place?

Yeah.

Rick: You're so slow.

It's in here.

Hey!

I like this place.

Your mom must be real cool.

I don't have a mom.

You want a pop?

Yeah, sure.

I'll get the jacket.

Nice bike.

I've been on one.

My brother frank's got one.

He takes me driving on it sometimes.

When he gets it going real fast

It's like nothing can stop you.

This used to be frank's.

Frank live here, too?

He moved out.

Well, what do you think?

It's cool!

Who's this?

I'm joey jeremiah.

You wouldn't believe

The day I've had.

You better go.

How much for the jacket?

Father: Hey, ricky!

I thought we had something to drink in here.

You're asking for trouble.

But dad...

Shut up!

You think we can afford

Giving stuff to every punk you know?

You want to start

Bringing home a paycheck?

No, dad!

Dragging in the scum off the streets!

I've had enough!

I wish I could get out of this place...

Ricky, I'm sorry.

I wish I could get out of this place.

It won't happen again, rick...

I believe we're shooting

In the resource center.

Joey: Hey, tim!

So, that's rick's jacket?

No way, man.

It's my jacket.

Looks good.

On me, everything looks good.

So, it went okay?

He was cool?

Yeah, sure.

He was cool.

Smile.

Next.

Smile.

Next.

I decided I have to be me.

I'd like to see your mother's face

When she sees the pictures.

A zit!

An enormous zit!

Right on my face!

I can't believe this!

I don't see a zit.

I see it.

The camera will see a zit.

Smile.

Next.

Smile.

Next.

What would you do if you knew someone

Whose dad beat him up?

Who?

It's just a question.

Smile, please.

Smile!

Doris: All right, grade eights.

Hey, jeremiah, you owe me 15 bucks.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Jacket fits great, man.

Oh, no, I've only got ten on me.

Then give it back.

No!

Not today!

Fifteen bucks, now.

I need it today.

I don't want to look like a broomhead.

Take this.

I'll give you the rest after school.

I really need the jacket.

Please?

Just don't try and rip me off, jeremiah.

Rick...

Do you want to talk?

Mind your own business.

I just thought...

Shut up!

Photographer: Smile.

Next.

Next.

You're next.

We're going to look pretty dumb

If he doesn't think this is funny.

Here he comes!

Hi, rick! Hi, rick!

Oink, oink, oink!

Oink, oink!

Oink, oink, oink...

"let me rest for a moment as I am out of..."

This guy getting beat up by his dad--

It's rick, isn't it?

No!

It is, isn't it?

It's just a question!

Mr. Jeremiah--

How many times have I told you

My classroom is for learning, not socializing?

I think you should go

See the principal, right now.

Now, then...

For homework this evening...

Lawrence: If I ever have to talk to you

About this again

I'm going to have to call your parents.

Yes, sir.

How's the eye?

Getting better.

That's good.

Doris...

Suppose I knew someone

Who was getting beat up by his dad...

Someone in this school?

No, I was just asking

In case...

Joey, is everything okay at home?

Sure!

Really?

More or less.

I mean, parents-- right?

Bye.

Hey, jeremiah, you owe me five bucks.

No problem.

I got it at my place.

So, let's go.

Stupid chain...

What's the problem?

My chain came off.

Fix it at my place.

You've got tools?

Yeah, sure.

I live right over there.

Nice bike!

Whose is that?

I don't know.

Not as cool as frank's

But not bad.

Come on, let's go.

Rick!

You can leave your bike there.

We've brought up four kids.

No one has ever accused us

Of child abuse before.

Well, we have to check

All these calls.

Mom: Joey?

Hi, mom.

Joey, this is mr. Marino

From the children's aid.

Children's aid?

How you doing?

Fine, I guess.

That's a nasty- looking eye.

Somebody hit you?

I sort of fell into some bikes.

I see.

You told your school secretary

About a father

Beating a child.

Dad: We never...

I'd like to hear joey's story.

My folks never hit me.

They yell at me sometimes

But that's all.

Then who were you talking about?

Because if it's true

He needs help, very badly.

Even if he won't admit it.

Want a hand?

I can fix it.

I know something about bikes.

Let me have a look at it.

Just lift the seat.

I can get a court order if I need to.

Do you get a bonus for bagging kids?

No-- the kid gets help.

There you go.

I'd like to talk to you.

Leave me alone!

Does your dad?

What do you care?

I care!

Yeah, right.

I care about kids getting hurt

And I don't just mean getting hit.

Maybe you're covering up for someone.

But what about you?

You don't seem

Like a very happy kid.

But I can help you.

I can.

Is there someone else you could stay with?

Hey, jeremiah--

Where's my money?

Honest, rick, I didn't say anything!

The guy didn't want to talk to me.

Where's my money?

Here, just like I promised.

You take care of that jacket.

I will.

Great jacket, man.

I might be living

With my brother for a bit.

Frank?

That's great!

Yeah.

Maybe you could come over.

He might let you ride his harley.

All right!

See you around?

Yeah.

See you around...

Buddy.

Susie, he's smiling!
