-1968. I was 12 years old.
11
00:00:57,324 --> 00:01:00,003
a lot happened that year.
12
00:01:00,027 --> 00:01:04,340
denny mclain won 31 games,
"The mod squad" hit the air,
13
00:01:04,364 --> 00:01:06,910
and I graduated from
Hillcrest elementary
14
00:01:06,934 --> 00:01:08,733
and entered junior high school.
15
00:01:09,737 --> 00:01:11,436
but we'll get to that.
16
00:01:14,441 --> 00:01:18,287
-♪ a time to be
Born, a time to die ♪
17
00:01:18,311 --> 00:01:20,790
♪ a time to plant,
A time to reap ♪
18
00:01:20,814 --> 00:01:22,559
-there's no pretty
Way to put this.
19
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:24,560
I grew up in the suburbs.
20
00:01:24,584 --> 00:01:26,530
I guess most people
Think of the suburbs
21
00:01:26,554 --> 00:01:29,365
as a place with all the
Disadvantages of the city
22
00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:31,801
and none of the
Advantages of the country...
23
00:01:31,825 --> 00:01:33,703
and vice versa.
24
00:01:33,727 --> 00:01:36,039
-♪ to everything... ♪
25
00:01:36,063 --> 00:01:39,142
-but, in a way, those really
Were the wonder years
26
00:01:39,166 --> 00:01:40,877
for us there in the suburbs.
27
00:01:40,901 --> 00:01:43,847
it was kind of a
Golden age for kids.
28
00:01:43,871 --> 00:01:46,549
-♪ and a time to
Every purpose... ♪
29
00:01:46,573 --> 00:01:50,053
-there, that's me...
Kevin arnold, 1968,
30
00:01:50,077 --> 00:01:53,423
the summer before
Junior high school.
31
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:55,025
-there we go.
32
00:01:55,049 --> 00:01:58,483
-and I don't mind saying I was
A pretty fair little athlete.
33
00:02:05,392 --> 00:02:07,637
-it was a pretty hard pass.
34
00:02:07,661 --> 00:02:08,938
-well, uh, yeah.
35
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:12,208
I-I think it had sort of
A... Reverse spin on it.
36
00:02:12,232 --> 00:02:13,243
-come on, kevin.
37
00:02:13,267 --> 00:02:15,233
Stop gabbing with
Your girlfriend.
38
00:02:17,271 --> 00:02:19,348
-she's not my girlfriend.
39
00:02:19,372 --> 00:02:20,549
-this was true.
40
00:02:20,573 --> 00:02:23,119
winnie cooper was
Not my girlfriend.
41
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:24,854
when we were very
Little, we used to go
42
00:02:24,878 --> 00:02:26,689
down to harper's woods
And catch fireflies,
43
00:02:26,713 --> 00:02:28,625
but we really hadn't
Hung out at all together
44
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:30,994
since we were about 9.
45
00:02:31,018 --> 00:02:33,563
-uh-oh. I think
Girlfriend's mad at you.
46
00:02:33,587 --> 00:02:36,632
Maybe you'd better go
Give her a big french kiss.
47
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:38,367
-shut up, wayne.
48
00:02:38,391 --> 00:02:39,803
-hey, girls, come on over here.
49
00:02:39,827 --> 00:02:41,871
Kevin's gonna show
You what a french kiss is.
50
00:02:41,895 --> 00:02:43,173
-buttface.
51
00:02:43,197 --> 00:02:44,707
-what did you say?
52
00:02:44,731 --> 00:02:46,776
-nothing.
53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,211
-this is the way
54
00:02:48,235 --> 00:02:51,247
most of my conversations
With my brother, wayne, ended.
55
00:02:51,271 --> 00:02:53,416
apparently, he just
Deeply regretted
56
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,017
the fact that I had been born,
57
00:02:55,041 --> 00:02:57,286
and he wanted me
To feel the same way.
58
00:02:57,310 --> 00:02:59,623
-come on, wayne! Let him up!
59
00:02:59,647 --> 00:03:03,226
-I'm sorry, paul. This
Is a family matter.
60
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:06,028
-that was my best
Friend, paul pfeiffer.
61
00:03:06,052 --> 00:03:08,465
paul was allergic to everything.
62
00:03:08,489 --> 00:03:12,068
wayne used to say he was
Even allergic to his own snot.
63
00:03:12,092 --> 00:03:13,970
wayne was a really funny guy.
64
00:03:13,994 --> 00:03:15,338
-hey, wayne!
65
00:03:15,362 --> 00:03:18,196
Knock it off before I
Do the same thing to you!
66
00:03:24,872 --> 00:03:27,283
-winnie's brother, brian cooper.
67
00:03:27,307 --> 00:03:31,120
he was 19, and for
Us, he defined "Cool."
68
00:03:31,144 --> 00:03:35,058
he had this really
Great '59 el camino.
69
00:03:35,082 --> 00:03:36,492
didn't run, of course,
70
00:03:36,516 --> 00:03:39,228
but he was always
Out there workin' on it,
71
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:42,532
sweaty, grease
All over his hands.
72
00:03:42,556 --> 00:03:44,767
what a guy.
73
00:03:44,791 --> 00:03:48,871
that june he got drafted
And packed off to vietnam.
74
00:03:48,895 --> 00:03:52,909
but his car was still
Out front, up on blocks,
75
00:03:52,933 --> 00:03:54,577
as kind of a reminder
76
00:03:54,601 --> 00:03:57,635
of who really ran
Things on our street.
77
00:04:02,475 --> 00:04:05,221
-mom, can paul stay for dinner?!
78
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:07,891
-sure, if his mom knows!
79
00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:09,358
-what are you having?
80
00:04:09,382 --> 00:04:10,793
-what are we having?!
81
00:04:10,817 --> 00:04:11,861
-meat loaf!
82
00:04:11,885 --> 00:04:14,430
-I'm allergic to it.
83
00:04:14,454 --> 00:04:16,532
-what else?!
84
00:04:16,556 --> 00:04:18,055
-salad!
85
00:04:22,262 --> 00:04:24,773
- and more heavy fighting
In the mekong delta today.
86
00:04:24,797 --> 00:04:26,342
marines and south
Vietnamese troops
87
00:04:26,366 --> 00:04:29,612
occupied and then destroyed
Several guerrilla strongholds.
88
00:04:29,636 --> 00:04:30,947
-when's dad coming home?
89
00:04:30,971 --> 00:04:31,948
-any minute.
90
00:04:31,972 --> 00:04:34,317
Between the traffic and his job,
91
00:04:34,341 --> 00:04:36,118
He's liable to be very tense,
92
00:04:36,142 --> 00:04:37,854
So let's not make him crazy.
93
00:04:37,878 --> 00:04:40,056
-he's always tense.
94
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,224
-that's true.
95
00:04:41,248 --> 00:04:43,359
He's always tense,
But he's not crazy yet.
96
00:04:43,383 --> 00:04:46,295
So, let's try to maintain
That sense of equilibrium.
97
00:04:48,255 --> 00:04:50,200
Hi, hon. How's traffic?
98
00:04:50,224 --> 00:04:51,656
-traffic's traffic.
99
00:04:52,859 --> 00:04:56,172
-dad had a spartan
Sense of language.
100
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:58,140
-karen, honey, you said
101
00:04:58,164 --> 00:05:01,443
You were gonna come home
Early and help me with dinner.
102
00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:03,212
-peace, mom, okay?
103
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:04,714
-peace is fine,
104
00:05:04,738 --> 00:05:06,916
But you said you were
Gonna help me with dinner.
105
00:05:06,940 --> 00:05:08,952
-you have so much
Bad karma in your life.
106
00:05:08,976 --> 00:05:11,320
You know that, ma? I'd
Be careful if I were you.
107
00:05:11,344 --> 00:05:13,189
-thank you. I'll
Keep an eye out.
108
00:05:13,213 --> 00:05:15,725
In the meantime,
109
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:19,050
When your father gets back,
try not to make him crazy.
110
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:33,876
Hi, paul.
111
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:36,145
-dad always said
"Hi" to our friends,
112
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:39,716
but it was like he had this
Understanding with the family.
113
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:42,151
he worked hard for
Us, he provided for us,
114
00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:44,420
and he certainly didn't
Want to have to talk to us
115
00:05:44,444 --> 00:05:45,444
on top of that.
116
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,226
my approach was to not make
Any sudden moves or sounds
117
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:52,362
until he'd finished
That first vodka tonic
118
00:05:52,386 --> 00:05:54,463
and hope that nobody
Else did anything
119
00:05:54,487 --> 00:05:56,755
that might upset him
Too much before then.
120
00:05:57,825 --> 00:06:00,036
-I'm gonna get some
Birth-control pills.
121
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:01,559
I thought you should know.
122
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:06,909
-tell me I didn't hear
What I just heard!
123
00:06:06,933 --> 00:06:08,878
-tell your father
That you were joking.
124
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:15,284
-and that's pretty much
The way that summer went.
125
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:18,154
I guess it was really
My last summer
126
00:06:18,178 --> 00:06:20,823
of pure, unadulterated
Childhood.

If karen finds out I
Have this, she'll kill me.
136
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:09,172
-paul and I decided
137
00:07:09,196 --> 00:07:11,907
that the best way to prepare
For junior-high-school girls
138
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:13,376
was to look at them naked.
139
00:07:19,172 --> 00:07:20,482
-paul, your mother called.
140
00:07:20,506 --> 00:07:22,452

To come home right away.

That when I got to school, I
Realized I had no clothes on.
148
00:07:40,894 --> 00:07:43,440
-if you're naked when
You get to the bus stop,
149
00:07:43,464 --> 00:07:44,440
I'll tell you.
150
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:45,930
-thanks.
151
00:07:47,367 --> 00:07:49,345
Do you know what
You're gonna wear?
152
00:07:49,369 --> 00:07:52,470
-paul, I have no idea.
153
00:07:53,974 --> 00:07:57,987
-actually, I'd been planning my
Wardrobe for about six weeks.
154
00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:07,129
-you're not gonna wear
That to school, are you?
155
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:09,754
-no, mom. I got a
Job as a male model.
156
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:19,208
-don't worry about
It. You look fine.
157
00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:21,610
-let me see our class
Schedule one more time.
158
00:08:21,634 --> 00:08:22,945
-no!
159
00:08:22,969 --> 00:08:25,181
-he was gonna have
To get a grip on himself.
160
00:08:25,205 --> 00:08:27,050
this was the
Junior-high bus stop,
161
00:08:27,074 --> 00:08:29,718
and if we were gonna hold
Our own with the older kids,
162
00:08:29,742 --> 00:08:32,054
we were gonna
Have to act mature.
163
00:08:32,078 --> 00:08:34,858
-mnh! Mnh-mnh!
164
00:08:34,882 --> 00:08:37,460
-we seemed to have something
Of a height disadvantage,
165
00:08:37,484 --> 00:08:40,151
but we did our best to fit in.
166
00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:44,099
Who's that?
167
00:08:44,123 --> 00:08:45,389
Huh?
168
00:08:46,826 --> 00:08:50,405
-what an incredible
Stroke of luck...
169
00:08:50,429 --> 00:08:52,241
a new kid, a helpless waif
170
00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:55,210
who would be even
More lost than we were,
171
00:08:55,234 --> 00:09:00,549
a helpless waif in fishnet
Tights and go-go boots.
172
00:09:00,573 --> 00:09:02,574
-hi, kevin. Hi, paul.
173
00:09:04,444 --> 00:09:05,843
-winnie cooper?!
174
00:09:06,914 --> 00:09:08,091
-gwendolyn.
175
00:09:08,115 --> 00:09:10,593
I don't want to be
Called "Winnie" anymore.
176
00:09:10,617 --> 00:09:12,528
My real name is gwendolyn.
177
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:15,231
-well, there was
No question now.
178
00:09:15,255 --> 00:09:17,967
we were entering
Uncharted territory.
179
00:09:17,991 --> 00:09:22,037
even the familiar was cloaked
In the vestments of the devil.
180
00:09:22,061 --> 00:09:26,864
junior high school was
A whole new ball of wax.
181
00:09:29,937 --> 00:09:33,449
like about half the schools
In the country that year,
182
00:09:33,473 --> 00:09:37,286
my school was being renamed
Robert f. Kennedy junior high.
183
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:40,557
as we approached those
Doors for the first time,
184
00:09:40,581 --> 00:09:44,515
we felt we were approaching
The portals of manhood.
185
00:09:45,618 --> 00:09:47,263
homeroom.
186
00:09:47,287 --> 00:09:51,233
I sat between eric
Antonio and gail aslaynian.
187
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:52,969
they had met on the bus
188
00:09:52,993 --> 00:09:55,838
and had taken a
Liking to each other.
189
00:09:55,862 --> 00:09:58,540
-I love you.
190
00:09:58,564 --> 00:10:01,444
-I love you, too.
191
00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:04,113
-and I-I love you both,
192
00:10:04,137 --> 00:10:06,648
But I'm having a little
Trouble breathing here.
193
00:10:06,672 --> 00:10:09,685
-I was about to have my
First sexual experience.
194
00:10:09,709 --> 00:10:13,044
and I wasn't even one
Of the principal players.
195
00:10:17,184 --> 00:10:19,228
-kevin arnold.
196
00:10:19,252 --> 00:10:21,886
You're wayne's
Brother, aren't you?
197
00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:27,703
-well... Well, according
To my mother, yes,
198
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:29,939
But my own theory is...
199
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:32,942
-you've got a tough
Row to hoe, young man...
200
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:35,700
A tough row to hoe.
201
00:10:36,936 --> 00:10:38,714
-yes.
202
00:10:38,738 --> 00:10:43,219
-first major accessory of
Adulthood... Our own lockers.
203
00:10:43,243 --> 00:10:45,354
I couldn't believe
My good fortune.
204
00:10:45,378 --> 00:10:48,024
two lockers down from
Mine was debbie ackerman,
205
00:10:48,048 --> 00:10:50,615
one of the prime
Knockouts of the 7th grade.
206
00:10:54,253 --> 00:10:56,287
there was only one problem.
207
00:10:59,092 --> 00:11:02,838
charles manson had
The locker between us.
208
00:11:02,862 --> 00:11:05,074
a 7th-grader with a beard?
209
00:11:05,098 --> 00:11:08,043
this wasn't junior high
School. It was a freak show.
210
00:11:08,067 --> 00:11:10,947
I hoped none of the
Girls would have beards.
211
00:11:10,971 --> 00:11:13,049
-what's your locker combination?
212
00:11:13,073 --> 00:11:16,151
-well, I, uh...
213
00:11:16,175 --> 00:11:19,421
I appreciate your asking,
But, actually, they told us
214
00:11:19,445 --> 00:11:21,980
We weren't supposed
To tell anyone el...
215
00:11:24,618 --> 00:11:26,350
Here you go.
216
00:11:42,234 --> 00:11:46,682
-anybody finds
Out about these...
217
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:48,605
And I know who told 'em.
218
00:11:49,943 --> 00:11:51,287
-who?
219
00:11:51,311 --> 00:11:52,621
-it was my only shot.
220
00:11:52,645 --> 00:11:54,946
I thought maybe
I could trick him.
221
00:11:56,582 --> 00:11:59,650
-you! You! That's who!
222
00:12:00,754 --> 00:12:02,598
-oh, right.
223
00:12:05,625 --> 00:12:07,770
-in one of those
Quirks of scheduling,
224
00:12:07,794 --> 00:12:09,171
my first class was gym.
225
00:12:09,195 --> 00:12:11,741
this meant that I had to
Wake up in the morning,
226
00:12:11,765 --> 00:12:13,709
shower, get
Dressed, go to school,
227
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:17,146
get undressed, run around,
Shower, and get dressed
228
00:12:17,170 --> 00:12:20,182
all in the space
Of about 45 minutes.
229
00:12:20,206 --> 00:12:22,451
-well, people.
230
00:12:22,475 --> 00:12:27,056
A lot of you probably
Think this is gym class, huh?
231
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,225
-I was overwhelmed
By a sudden panic.
232
00:12:29,249 --> 00:12:31,627
things hadn't been
Going that well so far,
233
00:12:31,651 --> 00:12:33,229
but if this wasn't gym class,
234
00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:35,597
I was in bigger
Trouble than I thought.
235
00:12:35,621 --> 00:12:37,867
-well, it's not.
236
00:12:37,891 --> 00:12:43,972
People, it's physical
Education class.
237
00:12:43,996 --> 00:12:47,109
Through those doors,
They educate your minds.
238
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:51,680
In here... I educate
Your bodies.
239
00:12:51,704 --> 00:12:55,651
I'm an educator, okay?
240
00:12:55,675 --> 00:12:58,588
A body educator.
241
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:00,422
-of course, we didn't
Realize it at the time,
242
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:03,492
but this guy had the
Biggest inferiority complex
243
00:13:03,516 --> 00:13:04,893
since napoleon.
244
00:13:04,917 --> 00:13:09,131
-people, when you
Leave this class,
245
00:13:09,155 --> 00:13:11,934
You're gonna
Have smart bodies...
246
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:16,038
Smart... Smart bodies.
247
00:13:16,062 --> 00:13:18,173
-he went on educating our bodies
248
00:13:18,197 --> 00:13:19,608
for about half an hour.
249
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:20,943
by the time he finished,
250
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:23,679
I was ready to let my
Leg take a math test.
251
00:13:23,703 --> 00:13:26,982
-one more thing, people,
Before you do your laps.
252
00:13:27,006 --> 00:13:28,718
The jockstrap.
253
00:13:28,742 --> 00:13:30,652
"A," what is it,
254
00:13:30,676 --> 00:13:34,612
And, "B," what
Can it do for you?
255
00:13:36,515 --> 00:13:37,893
Arnold.
256
00:13:37,917 --> 00:13:39,295
-this was it.
257
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:43,087
I felt like a fighter pilot
Under heavy enemy fire.
258
00:13:48,061 --> 00:13:50,940
Well, the jockstrap...
259
00:13:50,964 --> 00:13:52,140
Sir...
260
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:56,912
Is a particular... Type of strap
261
00:13:56,936 --> 00:13:59,214
That's constructed
262
00:13:59,238 --> 00:14:02,117
Of a strap-type material
263
00:14:02,141 --> 00:14:05,520
Which is utilized exclusively
264
00:14:05,544 --> 00:14:08,423
For the purposes... Of...
265
00:14:08,447 --> 00:14:09,981
Jocks.
266
00:14:26,666 --> 00:14:28,243
lunch...
267
00:14:28,267 --> 00:14:31,101
at last, something I figured
Even I couldn't screw up.
268
00:14:33,974 --> 00:14:36,318
-where do you want to sit?
269
00:14:36,342 --> 00:14:39,110
-anywhere. Let's just sit here.
270
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,425
-a suburban
Junior-high-school cafeteria
271
00:14:43,449 --> 00:14:45,694
is like a microcosm
Of the world.
272
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:48,063
the goal is to protect yourself,
273
00:14:48,087 --> 00:14:51,266
and safety comes in groups.
274
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:53,902
you have your cool kids...
275
00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:56,539
you have your smart kids...
276
00:14:56,563 --> 00:14:59,830
you have your greasers...
277
00:15:00,867 --> 00:15:03,379
and in those days, of
Course, you had your hippies.
278
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:04,435
-right on!
279
00:15:05,805 --> 00:15:08,117
-in effect, in
Junior high school,
280
00:15:08,141 --> 00:15:10,919
who you are is defined
Less by who you are
281
00:15:10,943 --> 00:15:13,889
than by who's the
Person sitting next to you.
282
00:15:15,214 --> 00:15:17,348
-a sobering thought.
283
00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:20,718
-try to look like
You're having fun.
284
00:15:29,962 --> 00:15:31,028
-hi.
285
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,743
Do you guys mind
If I sit with you?
286
00:15:33,767 --> 00:15:35,766
-sure, winnie.
287
00:15:37,236 --> 00:15:40,582
-we were on our way.
Our group was forming.
288
00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:43,085
and winnie... I
Mean gwendolyn...
289
00:15:43,109 --> 00:15:44,453
was not chopped liver.
290
00:15:44,477 --> 00:15:45,654
who knows?
291
00:15:45,678 --> 00:15:47,656
maybe we even had
An outside chance
292
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,126
to become the
Cool 7th-grade group
293
00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:52,194
if we could just
Remain inconspicuous
294
00:15:52,218 --> 00:15:54,296
until we picked up
A few more members.
295
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,231
Hey, steve!
296
00:15:56,255 --> 00:15:58,968
It looks like my baby
Brother and his girlfriend
297
00:15:58,992 --> 00:16:00,269
Have found each other.
298
00:16:01,294 --> 00:16:03,706
-she's not my girlfriend.
299
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:07,576
-he thinks you are so-o-o cute.
300
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,846
-I don't think she's cute.
301
00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:15,551
-he wants to give
You a big... Wet...
302
00:16:15,575 --> 00:16:16,618
Kiss.
303
00:16:19,245 --> 00:16:22,479
He told me.
304
00:16:23,516 --> 00:16:26,728
-you liar. I never said that!
305
00:16:26,752 --> 00:16:30,120
I don't want to kiss
Her! I don't even like her!
306
00:16:32,358 --> 00:16:34,058
-young man.
307
00:16:36,128 --> 00:16:39,296
What does that sign say?
308
00:16:41,234 --> 00:16:43,311
Hmm?
309
00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:45,247
You take that apple
Through that door,
310
00:16:45,271 --> 00:16:47,191
And you're asking for detention.
311
00:16:56,715 --> 00:16:58,549
Young man!
312
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:02,965
I think we have a problem.
313
00:17:02,989 --> 00:17:05,734
-he was right...
There was a problem.
314
00:17:05,758 --> 00:17:08,304
-oh, yeah. The apple.
315
00:17:08,328 --> 00:17:10,672
-that's right. The apple.
316
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:13,309
-you wanted it
inside the cafeteria.
317
00:17:13,333 --> 00:17:14,476
-that's right.
318
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:16,912
-and now it's
Outside the cafeteria.
319
00:17:16,936 --> 00:17:18,113
-that's right.
320
00:17:18,137 --> 00:17:20,382
-the conversation
Was getting stale.
321
00:17:20,406 --> 00:17:21,683
I asked myself,
322
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:24,920
"Now, what would a
Guy like brian cooper do
323
00:17:24,944 --> 00:17:26,477
in this situation?"
324
00:17:36,088 --> 00:17:37,666
-um...
325
00:17:37,690 --> 00:17:39,568
Uh...
326
00:17:39,592 --> 00:17:43,438
If... If you want,
I could, uh...
327
00:17:43,462 --> 00:17:45,107
I could...
328
00:17:45,131 --> 00:17:46,697
Get that.
329
00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:51,913
-well, kevin,
330
00:17:51,937 --> 00:17:54,182
Perhaps we should start
By asking you to explain
331
00:17:54,206 --> 00:17:57,719
What in god's name moved
You to do what you did.
332
00:17:57,743 --> 00:18:00,289
-I wanted to tell them that
Wayne had embarrassed me,
333
00:18:00,313 --> 00:18:02,157
that the other
Kids were laughing,
334
00:18:02,181 --> 00:18:04,560
that mr. Diperna had
Played power games with me,
335
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:06,828
that winnie had
Seen the whole thing
336
00:18:06,852 --> 00:18:10,132
and that she'd been wearing
Pink fishnets and go-go boots.
337
00:18:10,156 --> 00:18:11,622
-I don't know.
338
00:18:12,691 --> 00:18:16,304
- "I don't know"? That's
All you have to say?
339
00:18:16,328 --> 00:18:17,706
"I don't know"?
340
00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:18,730
-kevin...
341
00:18:19,999 --> 00:18:24,046
The question is, what
Did you hope to achieve
342
00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:27,382
By throwing an
Apple into a cafeteria?
343
00:18:27,406 --> 00:18:29,251
No, butthead.
344
00:18:29,275 --> 00:18:30,519
The question is,
345
00:18:30,543 --> 00:18:33,355
Why do you have a brain
The size of a baby pea?
346
00:18:33,379 --> 00:18:36,258
-kevin, mr. Diperna just
Asked you a question.
347
00:18:36,282 --> 00:18:38,226
What did you hope to achieve
348
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:40,963
By throwing that
Apple into the cafeteria?
349
00:18:40,987 --> 00:18:43,899
World peace.
350
00:18:43,923 --> 00:18:44,966
-kevin!
351
00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:47,269
-nothing.
352
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:50,706
-well, kevin, that's exactly
What you did achieve...
353
00:18:50,730 --> 00:18:51,762
Nothing.
354
00:18:53,566 --> 00:18:55,977
Now, I'm going to let you go
355
00:18:56,001 --> 00:18:58,581
Without any further punishment.
356
00:18:58,605 --> 00:19:00,316
But I want you to know
357
00:19:00,340 --> 00:19:03,240
That I'll be keeping
My eye on you.
358
00:19:06,045 --> 00:19:07,956
Do you understand that?
359
00:19:11,784 --> 00:19:14,585
-kevin, do you understand that?
360
00:19:15,955 --> 00:19:17,733
-yes.
361
00:19:17,757 --> 00:19:22,025
-I'd like to take him home now.
362
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:32,480
-in my 12 1/2 years, my
Father had never struck me,
363
00:19:32,504 --> 00:19:35,717
but he'd given wayne
A beating... Twice...
364
00:19:35,741 --> 00:19:39,287
and I recognized that
Glazed look in his eyes.
365
00:19:39,311 --> 00:19:42,057
besides, maybe I deserved it.
366
00:19:42,081 --> 00:19:44,259
there really is no good excuse
367
00:19:44,283 --> 00:19:47,062
for hurling food
Around the cafeteria.
368
00:19:47,086 --> 00:19:49,631
he probably figured that
If he laid down the law now,
369
00:19:49,655 --> 00:19:52,767
I'd stay in line, and
He was probably right.
370
00:19:52,791 --> 00:19:54,836
anyway, I could take the pain.
371
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:59,630
I decided I'd just shut my
Eyes and imagine it was wayne.
372
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,666
-come on. Inside.
373
00:20:05,271 --> 00:20:06,916
-and then it happened.
374
00:20:06,940 --> 00:20:10,407
I think we were about
Halfway to the front porch.
375
00:20:18,651 --> 00:20:21,385
-brian cooper was killed.
376
00:20:25,258 --> 00:20:27,324
-oh, my god.
377
00:20:28,461 --> 00:20:30,494
When did they find out?
378
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:36,177
I'm gonna go call evelyn
379
00:20:36,201 --> 00:20:38,714
And see if there's
Anything I can do.
380
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:41,505
Oh, my god. Poor
Evelyn. Poor jim.
381
00:20:53,086 --> 00:20:55,430
-that night, I decided
To go for a walk.
382
00:20:55,454 --> 00:20:58,200
the days were still
Long, and back then,
383
00:20:58,224 --> 00:21:00,235
kids could still go
For walks at dusk
384
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:03,761
without the fear of
Ending up on a milk carton.
385
00:21:09,936 --> 00:21:13,315
I went down to the big
Climbing tree in harper's woods.
386
00:21:13,339 --> 00:21:15,884
I didn't admit it to
Myself until years later,
387
00:21:15,908 --> 00:21:18,420
but in my mind was the
Shadow of a thought
388
00:21:18,444 --> 00:21:20,077
that winnie might be there.
389
00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:25,861
she was sort of hugging herself
390
00:21:25,885 --> 00:21:27,996
and rocking slowly
Back and forth.
391
00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:30,331
there was a bit
Of a chill in the air,
392
00:21:30,355 --> 00:21:32,267
and she didn't have a sweater.
393
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:35,192
for a minute, I was
Scared to approach her.
394
00:21:48,641 --> 00:21:54,055
I didn't know what to say. I
Had the strangest feeling.
395
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:56,825
it was impossible
For me to believe.
396
00:21:56,849 --> 00:21:58,915
brian was dead.
397
00:22:01,554 --> 00:22:03,420
-I'm sorry.
398
00:22:04,623 --> 00:22:06,189
About brian.
399
00:22:08,026 --> 00:22:10,439
And I'm sorry...
400
00:22:10,463 --> 00:22:13,775
About what I said today.
401
00:22:13,799 --> 00:22:16,378
It wasn't true.
402
00:22:16,402 --> 00:22:18,880
-I know.
403
00:23:00,446 --> 00:23:05,293
-♪ when a man loves a woman ♪
404
00:23:05,317 --> 00:23:08,930
♪ can't keep his mind
On nothing else ♪
405
00:23:08,954 --> 00:23:12,066
-it was the first
Kiss for both of us.
406
00:23:12,090 --> 00:23:15,470
we never really talked
About it afterward.
407
00:23:15,494 --> 00:23:18,640
but I think about the events
Of that day again and again,
408
00:23:18,664 --> 00:23:21,075
and somehow I know
That winnie does, too,
409
00:23:21,099 --> 00:23:23,311
whenever some
Blowhard starts talking
410
00:23:23,335 --> 00:23:25,414
about the anonymity
Of the suburbs
411
00:23:25,438 --> 00:23:28,316
or the mindlessness
Of the tv generation,
412
00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:29,684
because we know
413
00:23:29,708 --> 00:23:32,721
that inside each one
Of those identical boxes,
414
00:23:32,745 --> 00:23:34,790
with its dodge parked out front
415
00:23:34,814 --> 00:23:37,191
and its white bread on the table
416
00:23:37,215 --> 00:23:41,362
and its tv set glowing
Blue in the falling dusk,
417
00:23:41,386 --> 00:23:43,698
there were people with stories.
418
00:23:43,722 --> 00:23:46,034
there were families
Bound together
419
00:23:46,058 --> 00:23:48,537
in the pain and the
Struggle of love.
420
00:23:48,561 --> 00:23:52,006
there were moments that
Made us cry with laughter,
421
00:23:52,030 --> 00:23:58,068
and there were moments, like
That one, of sorrow and wonder.
422
00:24:00,973 --> 00:24:06,076
-♪ well, this man
Loves you, woman ♪
