how about working together getting

ripped

i thought that this weekend maybe you

and russell and me would go up to the

mountains

should be nice at this time of year

you know something

this is the time of your life i always

looked

i always look forward to

yeah you'll be taking your college board

soon

when i was a kid i never even thought of

college and my father he couldn't pay

the bills even if i did

and then it was the war

i volunteered for the merchant marine

when i was about your age

and then when the war ended uh

it was too late to think of college

but all that's different for you

i mean if you want to go and you get the

grades to get in

well i'll help you

of course you have to get a job but

that wouldn't hurt would it

when i was younger

i thought it was only a matter of time

till i got to the top

and then little by little i realized

that my life was work

pay the bills that's about it

no

i'd like to be a

forest ranger way up in the mountain

but i'm not just a spice salesman

and

hey

i have been for 17 years probably always

will be

maybe i never had it in me to be

anything else

but you do you can be

anything you want to be if you don't let

drugs and those friends of you

destroy it what's wrong with my friends

uh you know how i feel about that brick

you don't even know that brick i know

him i know him

i know he's two years older than you i

know he's a dropout

i know he's been arrested for marijuana

i know him and those other

friends that peanuts that mark look jack

you're not picking my friends for me

some friends can be helpful

yours will drag you down yeah i don't

tell you who to run around with so you

don't tell me all right

as long as you live in my house i'll

tell you what i want to tell you and

you'll listen yeah well if i can't make

you shut your mouth you can't make me

listen

uh unless you make everything an

argument

i got nothing to say to you you

definitely got nothing to say that i

want to hear so why don't you just get

the hell out of here huh

why don't you just get your butt out of

here man you always preach about privacy

and you come busting in here in the

middle of the night

just get out of here

[Music]

[Music]

you can't snowys give up on him i need

your help

he doesn't want anything for me he hates

me

that's not true you know it it's just so

mixed up

you know yeah i don't think he knows

what he's doing yeah well how long we've

been yelling at each other almost two

years now

now i'm not gonna put up with it i gotta

do something for everybody's sake what

i'm gonna go to court i'll file a

wayward conduct petition against him

well all it means is that the juvenile

authorities will keep an eye on him and

uh

he goes off the deep end he'll have to

answer to them

i think that's terrible i mean it's just

like washing our hands up and it's like

just getting a little more support

that's all please don't do

that well i made up my mind

carol carol

[Music]

you're having some problems with your

son yeah my older boy richard

he's on drugs marijuana lsd i don't know

what else

how do you know it's drugs because i

can't handle them anymore he's out of

control

yeah well that can happen at 16 you know

even without drugs i'm not with my boy

you uh you want some of this it's not

good but it's hot

okay you know mr werner i get a lot of

kids through here

and so many of them seem to feel useless

they don't see any value to what they're

doing that makes them defiant

yeah but why should he defy me all i

ever did was try to give him what he

wanted

have you talked this through with richie

yeah yeah i try he won't listen to me

and when i do

he starts yelling

yeah well filing a wayward conduct

petition is

very unusual i won't stop

realize what he's doing

okay let's go back and fill out the

requests

oh you do understand don't you that

they'll have to be a full hearing in

court yes i did yeah well

while you're waiting for the court

hearing you and your boy ought to go to

the county drug counsel

get some help counsel

there are a lot of other people just

like yourself who are looking for an

answer

some answer get together with them get

some professional help

you may find that things get just a lot

better

i believe in this uh group therapy thing

what do you guys know about a wayward

combat petition

it's not my dear old dad just found one

again

it's like your information right no no

he says that the juvenile authority

isn't keeping an eye on me

what it means is he's offended you man

it's like you said to the law

this is a rotten kid find some excuse to

bust them

get this we gotta go to court together

in a couple of weeks

i'm telling you richie he's buying your

one-way ticket to the juvenile shelf

nobody's locking me

you know like once they get your name on

one of those sheets

they can do anything they want anything

at all

i remember i used to have hair down on

my shoulders cut it they said

get yourself a ball me i'm not kidding

no stupid baldi

so i bought him oh yeah boy did i fight

him

where'd i end up ended up in a stupid

juvenile shelter

well that's the difference between me

and you man cause i would run

everybody's hooked into a computer today

they'll find you no matter where you go

[Music]

what do you guys know about uh the drug

abuse council

it's a waste of time waste of time

what do you mean waste the time every

pothead in the city goes there

it's an easy place to make a score it's

like a freaky

drug bazaar pot smoker's paradise ah

shut up peanuts you know what the hell

you're talking about

i know what i'm talking about a guy made

a bar right there right there in one of

the big meeting rooms

you're so good it's discouraging you

know that look at this

you were a tough act to follow jordan

i've been out of a couple of years

practice makes perfect not a popular

idea these days

today everybody's looking for what's

easy and ends

the age of instant everything instant

muscles instant beauty

instant success instant sex

well there's a lot more to it than just

uh squeezing the trigger you got to

concentrate

got your mind all cluttered you never

get anywhere down here hey it's taken me

a lot of years to accumulate the clutter

i got in my head well there's a good way

to get rid of it

you fire around and you see exactly what

the problem is high

low wide and you try again it gets

better

and better and better good feeling

not like most of my problems the more i

try to figure out what i'm doing wrong

the deeper and i get

you guys signed up for the canadian

hunting trip not me

how come would your eye you'd bring back

more game than all the rest of us put

together

george doesn't approve the club's

hunting trips you know

uh killing living things that's right

see you guys later hey george we're

going to have a beer come on

yeah come on

i got to be going on

come on russ i finish your milk okay i

really count mom

do i have to he's right he shouldn't

stuff himself before a game gotta go get

ready

i guess so nothing's more important in

this house than little league

i've been uh i've been thinking

about that thing you filed with the

juvenile court

yeah well

i uh i know you're probably not gonna

believe this but uh

i went to court because i wanted to help

you

i know

hey i read in the paper they're opening

a new

regal burger in oakwood and they're

still hiring

maybe if you had a job what do i know

about

working in a restaurant when you could

learn

goodness well no quit driving that

oh come on they probably got i don't

know 10 people for every child

come on richie come on how about it

try it please

okay great go there tomorrow

huh good morning

hey russell gotta move on george

yeah what about the other thing what are

they

the drug counsel

yeah well

i thought maybe we ought to check that i

said i try to get a job now don't dump

it all on me all right

but look if we can get some help free oh

wow richie's right

besides there's no better medicine than

a steady job huh

hey come on dad we're gonna be late okay

good luck crystal thanks rich

good luck i don't think i can do it dad

what if he doesn't like me i'll look at

it this way

they'll be lucky to get a guy like you

i mean richie you're gonna have more

faith in yourself

you want me to go with you now

[Music]

so

[Music]

big surprise

where's your son well your honor i

uh i you want to withdraw the

charges i file against richie he has a

job now

it's a place called the regal burger

things have been a lot better at home a

lot better

oh yes i i um i think it's just made all

the difference

you filed this petition less than a

month ago how long has he had this job

a couple of weeks ago it was just after

school let out for the summer and

he he really seems to enjoy his work so

you're telling this court that your boys

made a miraculous recovery

yes your honor well if he acted like

this before i never would have brought

the church

15 years of dealing with juvenile drug

problems inclines me to be skeptical mr

werner about miraculous recovery

however i will accept your petition for

withdrawal

it's always better if these problems can

be worked out at home

but thank you

oh i do think you and your boy should

continue your work with the drug counsel

oh we never started that

why not well i thought with richie's job

and all that

uh don't put it off mr warner miracles

need all the help we can give them

case number one seven eight four three

two

three sure

[Music]

here let me take that you don't need to

build muscles i do

excuse me

coffee machine here here you go sir

what is your capacity about 20 gallons

you know there's no fee for all the

coffee you can drink but there's a five

dollar restroom charge

what can i do for the intrepid dream

you're looking good richie

we don't want nothing richie it's a

matter of fact richie

got something for you yeah man hey

listen

we just connected for two dozen downers

yeah let's get out of here and get

wasted

let's go for it

i can't man my mom's picking me up

come on call her tell her i'll catch you

guys there

[Music]

we advertise the finest names beat

that's cool

[Music]

i would like just to plain hamburgers

excuse me i telephoned this morning and

they said i could sit in on one of your

meetings

for the parents whose children are on

drugs oh let's see uh

well why don't you try the group at

number 106 it's just right down the hall

thank you carol

oh hello betty how are you uh you know

dominic hi mr swanna how are you

hello dominic i didn't think there would

be so many people

mrs brenner if they busted every kid in

this town or smoked pot they'd hold

their meetings in a football stadium

i'll see you later all right uh dominic

mom it's all right

yeah i guess you're wondering why i'm

here what right do i have to wonder

dom was uh arrested two weeks ago

possession of marijuana and

lsd it was his first time so he wasn't

held

but we agreed to come here is it helping

helping uh at least we know that we're

not the only family with this kind of

problem

well uh nothing like that has happened

to us yet

i just thought if i knew more i

understood more

uh where'd they send you 106. oh that's

where i'm going

come on good good evening everyone those

of you who are just starting with us

i want you to understand this is your

group

i'm only here to expedite and make

things easier

you all have at least one thing in

common

you have a child who's been arrested for

holding drugs

so what we want to do in this room

tonight is get at our feelings

get at the anger get it the fear

and the hopelessness because i know as

soon as there's any kind of trouble with

the law the first impulse is to shut

that door pull those drapes and hide

that shame

that doesn't do any good for anyone

so let's open up

and share who wants to start tonight

someone then just tell us how it feels

to be here

degrading if you give us your name first

morris

as far as i'm concerned this whole setup

is another piece of

bureaucratic black man if you're

blackmailed

hi all will be told we'll let you get

off the hook if you'll agree to bring

him to the drug counsel for six weeks

so a couple of hundred freeloaders who

work here to stay on the county payroll

larry sullivan mr polk would it have

made you happier if they pressed charges

against your son

and i'll tell you what'll make me happy

have the cops out busting

muggers and killers instead of busting a

bunch of kids

my name's betty furmani um your son

broke the law mr polk and so did mine

so uh everybody breaks the law

our kids were just dumb enough to be

caught that's all

so they put us through this group think

session

let me pay a fine forget it um

what was your son holding when they

busted him lsd

had he had many trips how would i know

that these kids try anything

my daughter tried lsd

once too often

she's been in a coma for the past 19

months

you're dead wrong if you think that uh

light fine and forget it is the answer

with your daughter as she is why are you

here

i mean how can this help her it can't

but it helps me

mrs vermani i forget uh are you a widow

no my husband works nice does that mean

that uh

you have all the responsibility of your

son no gina's a good father

what does that mean just what i said

oh he uh pays the rent and he gives you

the money to

buy the food oh he's a good father he's

close to you some then

what you mean do they talk of course

they talk

uh maybe not as much since uh gino's

been working nice

when did your husband go on nights um

about

six months ago he had no choice well

what did he make more money what

uh no he um he just decided that he

wanted to work next

look i i i don't understand why we're

making such a big deal about this i mean

uh

well what does it have to do with why

i'm here comedy didn't get where he is

all by himself

you said last week that six months ago

dom began to when he began to notice

changes in him right

well that's when your husband deserted

your son what are you talking about

look can you honestly deny that the

changes in your behavior and your

husband's behavior have not touched you

dominique doesn't know anything about

this now what what's between me and gino

that that that's our business oh

betty that isn't the truth and you know

it don't you'd call me a liar

but you're you're you're pretending you

see you you

you're play acting and dominant can't

buy that that's why he's got to go

somewhere else to think about it

our home is a good place it it it it's a

quiet place

now you don't hear me and geno yelling

at one another like

like a lot of other couples that i know

maybe that's the problem maybe there

should be some yelling

yeah you've got to open up you've got to

talk with one another look your guts are

twisted up inside of you you gotta

spill it all out you gotta get rid of it

i can't

he won't let me

all he cares about it is how it looks

we're just like strangers going through

emotions

oh god

i'd like to scream

a talk we haven't talked to one another

in years

it's all right betty

[Music]

why are you home sir

i quit the job

quite a good fight i quit the job

before old man harris fired me there are

a lot more people than they need now

they're cutting back

last couple of weeks that old croc has

been laying all the dirty stuff on me

just

just waiting for me to quit so i did

don't you believe me

why shouldn't i believe you

i suppose you think i should have just

hung right in there no matter what the

old buzzer did to me

oh it's your job you had to make up your

own mind

seems to me i deserve a little credit

for hanging in there as long as i did

oh i agree

look

you save your money right through you

attitude

that's what i am i was a mistake when

you started pulling a rock

oh

go ahead

oh

[Music]

i really can't believe this [ __ ] the

phone how

how in the name of god is that gonna

help it's willy not while he's hanging

out with those friends of his so i'm

gonna find a way to make him listen

like that that's right where's he

getting the money to buy these drums i

don't know i think he's doing more than

using i think he's selling now you don't

know or he's stealing to get the money

either way it's against the law when i

find that out he's gonna have to listen

to me

or go to jail it's wrong george i know

that it's wrong for a father to do that

to his son what else do you want me to

do

and don't start up about that drug

counsel we're way past that

what are you serious i swear to god and

listen to this

there's about five ounces of twigs in it

couldn't even see

green all you could see was lumber

peanuts is here and he says he's ready

to make a buy on that ass you know

we'll hit peanuts to get 10 bucks huh

well it doesn't have request this minute

but somebody's buying some gradual

in about 10 minutes boys hurt enough

now that's just a sample i have a few

more of these cassettes

what are you going to do with them

i should tell the police and that would

be the finish of anybody on parole

but i think the fair thing to do is to

call your parents

you don't call my folks they got enough

problems

why are you doing this anyway the same

my son

look at me guys okay okay go ahead tell

them i mean what do i care they know all

about it

i don't think that's true what if we

promise to stop i wouldn't believe it

but in spite of that i'm going to give

you another chance

i won't tell the police i won't call

your parents

and in return richie isn't to see any

one of you anymore

or talk to you on the phone

okay say your goodbyes

what a chunk i don't believe this guy

bugging his own kid

richie you think your romance really has

to make trouble for us

my old man ain't making trouble for

nobody

except himself it's cool

okay may i please finish up in the

living room there's

some tv i'm gonna watch go ahead

you want some more coffee no

you know i was thinking today um maybe

we could get that new bike for

wrestling for christmas

you christmas i'll be here before we

know it

i have got some supper for you veggie

i'm not hungry you found something

better than food

that promised you and your buddies made

me didn't last long did it

what we do is no business here well then

i'll let the police handle it

get on my way you're not going anywhere

you better do what i tell you man

i gotta raise your right hand you stand

there and i'll use it please stop it

you know richie

if you hate us so much everything that

we are anything that we believe

so why don't you just go away

please please just go away

i'm sorry

my son hates me

he says he loves his mother but he's

killing him with the things he does

crazy things

i can't talk to him whenever i try he

turns nasty

last time he threatened me with a razor

i don't know what to do

i hope you can help us mr werner you've

asked this court for an order of

protection

that's a very rare legal tool something

a judge only reaches for when there just

aren't any alternatives left

if a child breaks such an order the

police make an automatic arrest and the

child goes to jail for six months

that's what i want what's all this about

threatening your father with a razor

he was after me i just want to get him

off my back that's a lie

mr warner you'll have your turn

i didn't have any razor just wanted him

to think i did

before we take any action in this order

of protection i'm again

recommending family counseling because

you and your son can't talk to each

other

you'll have to talk to each other if you

don't

you'll never find an answer certainly

not in this court

do you understand the recommendation

you may go mr werner

[Music]

i told you this family counseling

business is a waste of time

george you weren't in there for five

minutes yeah but i'm not the problem

look a lot of what richie does is

because of the way he feels about us

he's in there right now telling one of

his [ __ ] and bull stories

we're gonna be when we get out of here

but it's helpful for mommies i mean

dom's dreams

so

mrs werner i feel the situation in your

family is very critical

we should try to throw it out as quickly

as we can

if i could have all three of you in here

together can we do it now

well i wish that were possible that i

have to testify in juvenile court

what about the same time tomorrow

afternoon yeah i think that'd be fine

can i just go check course

well richie miss franklin said she'd

like to see us all again tomorrow

but not me i'll be on the road next

three or four days i'll tell you what

i'll be coming to court by five i'll

come back

i can't waste any more time george maybe

richie and i could come back tonight i'm

not coming without him

no way when you agree on attorney you'll

call me

yeah sure

they'll never agree on a time

i'm sorry

[Music]

it's gonna be a real nice party richie

everybody'd like you to come
