[rock music playing]

I think violence is always justified

some of the time.

Hey, grover.

Hey, gail.

[Gail] Would you rather be stranded on a desert island

with macneil or lehrer?

[Man] Ebert.

i'll tell you the worst thing

about losing a foot.

Hey, man!

jane, i knew you'd win the fiction prize.

You're--you're a brilliant writer.

Would you like to dance?

Oh, I would, lester,

but I find you irritatingly attractive.

Ha.

Ah, here's my drunk boyfriend.

I was going to wear my goatee tonight.

Wouldn't that have been embarrassing?

Goatee season is in bloom.

It's those film majors.

I almost put vodka in your cran-orange.

I don't know how you could not drink at these parties.

I saw you trip when you got your diploma.

Careful.

You got pig-in-a-blanket on your chin.

Oh, congratulations on the fiction prize.

You could have won if you'd submitted.

At least it would have been close.

Even though all 618 of us were wearing caps and gowns,

it's a coincidence that we were both wearing black.

Thank you.

That's almost a sweet thing for you to say.

To life after college.

Hey, do you forget things ever when you drink?

You mean black out? No.

I don't really black out,

but I don't always remember everything.

You think that's reason for concern?

Probably.

What do you mean, probably?

You've got a drinking problem.

Get help.

Is that a pajama top?

No.

Yes.

You know, you're sneaky like that,

like that thing in that movie.

No, i'm not like him.

[Man] Hey, jane!

Czechoslovakia! Wild.

[Glass breaks]

Watch out.

You got into the university?

Yeah. i'm going to prague.

They called me this afternoon.

Someone dropped out of the program,

so there's an opening.

It's off to prague to go to school.

prague's a cliche now, but...

How will that work

if you're living with me in brooklyn?

It will be the same,

except i'll be in prague.

"A" list brooklyn--

park slope, division two manhattan.

prague is division one bratislava.

You should slow down.

There's no alcohol

in that.

Czechoslovakia is just the worst place to go.

Eventually, you'll make your life

in the states.

Why run away now?

You're just postponing that "get started" year.

i'm not postponing anything.

i'm postponing months of emotional paralysis.

Exactly. It's a bad idea to go directly.

The paralysis is just going to wait for you.

Will you stop writing what i'm saying?

Can we have one spontaneous conversation

where my dialogue doesn't end up

in your next story?

What if I want this material?

We'll see who gets it first.

i'm going to write

"selfish girl abandons helpless boy

for overrated country."

Overrated.

You've never even been to prague.

Oh, i've been to prague.

Well, I haven't been-to-prague been to prague,

but I know that thing--

that stop shaving your armpits,

read the unbearable lightness of being,

"now I realize how bad american coffee is" thing.

Beer. They have good beer.

"How bad american beer is" thing.

"How bad american beer is--"

I heard you the first time.

I am so glad to find an actual adult

at one of these parties.

It's really just a bunch of freaked-out kids.

Yeah.

i'm josselyn.

What an interesting name. i'm chet.

chet.

Hello.

So what do you do?

i'm a philosophy/ german major.

Ha ha!

Philosophy/german? I don't get it.

You're not still a student, are you?

Oh, yeah. Well, technically--

at least until i complete my thesis,

which is becoming more and more overwhelming each year.

This third tome has become quite a battle,

which is odd

because the second book came effortlessly.

How many years have you been here?

Oh, god, it will be... 10 come january?

But I skipped a semester my sophomore year.

Ha ha! Yeah.

Ahh...

Nice party.

Yes, about as good as the one three years ago,

and much better than last year,

although in my opinion,

this doesn't hold a candle

to the one six years ago.

There was a horse at that one.

I didn't go to the one five years ago.

I think I just didn't feel like a party, but...

But...

Hmm.

My parents fly in from chicago,

rent these swank digs, booze otis up,

but it's still not up to his standards.

I felt antsy. I couldn't eat.

You have two emotions-- antsy and testy.

And now i'm antsy.

What? Come on, i'm a little guy.

You're enormous.

You know what I mean. i'm little.

You're like a monster. You're huge.

But inside, i'm little. i'm small.

As a little guy,

I can't do the things bigger guys do.

[Woman] Boys.

You're out of your mind.

[Man] Where's grover?

[Woman laughing]

First thing i'm going to do

is read all the great short novels.

Want to get married?

You o.K.?

[Woman] Yes. Yes, I do.

Because you fell.

Name eight movies where monkeys play a key role.

Ding! Going ape. Mighty joe young.

For all of our sakes,

I hope nobody gets this.

King kong.

In a few hours, i'm going to lose all identity.

Eight hours ago, i was max belmont,

english major, college senior.

Now I am max belmont who does nothing.

What are you talking about?

Monkeys, monkeys, ted and alice.

All my accomplishments are in the past.

O.K., monkeys is a stupid subject.

Yeah, monkeys is stupid.

Yeah.

How about name me

six empiricist philosophers?

O.K. Hume.

Ding! Hume...Then all the other ones.

Skippy, how about worst-case scenarios after graduation?

Ding!

Heart attack.

Ding! Live in milwaukee.

Live in milwaukee.

Forget everything you learned.

I didn't learn enough to forget.

Honey, you did not ding in,

and this is definitely not for juniors.

i'm sorry. I was completely out of line there.

Ding! Forget everything you learned.

Really, skippy.

Um...

Monkeys, monkeys, ted and alice.

Carnal monkeys.

prague.

You'll come back a bug.

You could maybe sympathize

with my choice of prague over brooklyn.

I--i quit.

What do you mean you quit?

I quit.

First you only smoke after meals,

then once or twice a day,

and now suddenly you're quitting.

You can come with me, you know.

What's for me in prague?

Places kafka lived.

Me.

All of a sudden, you just stopped smoking?

Meanwhile, i'm up to two packs a day.

20 years, I handle peer pressure.

Senior year, you get me addicted.

Because you smoke, i should?

No, but what you did--

yes, you should smoke, too.

I told you i was quitting.

You didn't pay any attention.

Grover, you're not interested in me

unless i'm suffering like you.

You're like a child sometimes.

Yeah, but if i was a child,

you'd find that endearing.

[Man] Hey, jane! prague! Whoo!

Yeah, i'll whoo you.

I don't know what else to say.

Do you have anything you'd like to add?

Josselyn! Hi.

Hi.

chet. chet, my man!

louis, my friend!

louis!

Oh, louis!

Tell me--

did you graduate accidentally or on purpose?

i'll miss you, man.

i'll miss you, my friend.

I love you.

louis, i love you, too.

i've got to go now. Bye-bye.

So how does that work?

Do i have to start

paying back my loan, like, tomorrow?

i'm going to go look for pot.

Don't you sometimes wish

there was another position in sex?

Just something else to do?

Hey, grover,

worst-case scenario after graduation.

Ding.

jane dumps me to move to prague.

I spend the rest of my life with you idiots.

[Airplane taking off]

That was more of a yield at that stop sign.

I broke, thanks.

No. It was more of a yield.

Flight 368 to chicago

now boarding at gate 7.

Look at him.

What's in milwaukee?

Your graduate school.

Your...What does he study?

Uh, mechanical engineering?

Mechanical engineering. Right. Go.

I hate readjusting my watch.

Don't check your bags.

God! I hate fooling with a watch.

Oh, I can't change my habits.

i'll be sleeping all day, awake all night.

It's milwaukee.

It's only an hour's difference, otis.

i'll be hungry at 5:00,

ready for local news at 4:00.

This is useless.

We just have to walk away

like mothers in nursery school.

Bye, otis.

[Moan]

Well, that settles otis.

What I used to be able to pass off

as just another bad summer

could now potentially turn into a bad life.

Ah! The fan. The trusty fan.

Everyone brings this to school,

uses this for about three or four days,

then shoves it in the closet

for the remainder of the semester.

I use that fan all the time.

All the time.

Oh. O.K.

Cool.

Kudos, miami!

Hi, friedrich.

You are looking lovely this semester,

more appropriate for a runway

than these environs.

[Something drops]

[Skippy] Fuck!

What are you doing here?

Well, what is wrong with this picture?

Some explaining? I thought you graduated.

Yeah, I did. i'm just helping miami move in.

Actually, I might be living around here.

I haven't decided.

i've got all these decisions.

Hey, jacob, how are you?

jesus.

[max humming beautiful dreamer]

God. I have that horrible song stuck in my head.

Hum something so I can get rid of it.

[Humming]

I don't know that. Hum something else.

* beautiful soy

* beautiful beer

[answering machine beeps]

Who bought black-eyed peas?

Grover, it's dad. Call me.

i'm in boston at the greenbergs'.

Did you see the knicks-bulls exhibition on saturday?

Call me there to discuss.

[Music playing]

I just spent my last $20 on groceries.

You're poor.

Yeah. Since graduation,

i'm poor, and you're rich.

We are no longer equal.

My parent are rich. You know what I wish?

I wish we were just going off to war.

Hmm.

Or retiring.

I wish I was just retiring

after a lifetime of hard labor.

[Knock on door]

Get down!

Why?

Get down!

It's a cookie man.

He goes door-to-door.

I saw him earlier.

He is so hard

to say "no" to.

Just stay down. I can't handle him.

He'll go away soon.

[Pounding on door]

How long do we have to stay down here?

Go away, cookie man.

Cookie man?

What the hell are you doing here?

I felt antsy.

There is more reason for me to stay.

It's remarkable.

But milwaukee and graduate school?

i'm going to defer my admission.

i'll move back in with my mom for a while.

Hi, kids.

Got you a little back-to-school gift.

Oh, great! Dictionary!

Hey, i'm going to look up blowjob.

This is great, chet, really. Thanks a lot.

Did you have fun at the airport?

Yeah.

Oh, here. I got you some magazines.

Thanks.

What would you rather do--

fuck a cow or lose your mother?

Fuck a cow.

Cow fucker.

What would you rather do--

fuck peppermint patty or lucy?

Uh, lucy.

lucy fucker.

What would you rather do--

fuck a cow or a turkey?

Wild or farm-raised?

No idea. Just answer the question.

turkey.

turkey fucker.

I regret not taking my junior year abroad.

Skippy, don't let friedrich bother you.

He doesn't bother me.

I said I wish i had taken

my junior year abroad.

He's this euro-trash guy.

You--a cow or lose your mother?

What?

Would you rather fuck a cow

or lose your mother?

Who's asking the question?

Answer the question!

Neither, thanks.

He doesn't like to fuck.

I don't know! A cow!

Cow fucker.

That's his thing.

[Blues music playing]

There.

Yeah, you're right.

If they hadn't called a technical on riley,

they would have won.

Hey, who won bud bowl ii?

[Toilet flushes]

That is a bad habit.

You really ought to finish that in the bathroom.

And that call with half a minute left?

Ewing was pushed.

Ha ha!

Oh, that's good.

It was definitely a push.

Hey, fellas. What's up?

Hey, chet.

[Chet] Skippy.

Hold on, dad.

What are you doing with that?

I packed it by accident.

[Grover] Oakley plays rough.

Did you see all the people moving in?

How are the freshmen biddies?

Best since two years ago.

Hmm... Yeah, well...

i've been doing a little research.

We know how old mozart was when he did all that.

Like what?

And keats? Big poet, keats.

Keats was dead by 24!

And tracy austin?

When she started playing, she was tiny.

Mmm...I'd like to 15-love with her,

if you know what I mean.

ace her deuce.

i'd fuck her on the tennis court,

if you get my meaning.

Yeah.

Are you wearing mascara?

No.

Yes.

Let's hit the penguin.

It's like, what, 1:20?

It's almost cocktail hour.

chet, tell grover we went to the penguin.

O.K.

Wait a second.

I want to see if they get this stain out.

It's a detergent commercial, otis.

They're going to get it out.

Well, that's bicycle grease.

O.K., let's go.

Why do you think

everyone on the knicks is dysfunctional, dad?

riley is not depressed.

Dad, that's silly. riley's happily married.

No, I think it's a successful marriage.

Look, I got to go.

O.K.

O.K., we'll discuss this.

All right.

O.K. Bye.

[Grover] "Was it the woman

"in lace-top thigh highs,

"the chemise and wrap,

"the matte satin boxer pajamas,

"or the tailored strapless bra?

"He closed the catalog.

"Gower felt like he could shout into father's pillow,

and he never got her call."

lester.

This is grover's most mature work to date.

The scene with the carrot peeler really resonated.

The piece really had

a one hundred years of solitude bent to it.

The prose is like the bastard child of raymond carver,

like ray carver meets fitzgerald.

[Professor] gail.

When you think about it,

the main character has a little holden caulfield

crossed with humbert humbert

and then in that pseudo-russian novel ilk.

I think it's grover's best work to date.

Yes.

You're pretty.

i'd like to say first off that, uh...

The prose is remarkable.

It's...Beautifully written.

Uh, however,

i've noticed that the characters in grover's stories

spend all their time discussing

the least important... Things--

you know, like what to have for dinner,

who's the best-looking model

in the victoria's secret catalog.

To me, the story seemed slight.

It had the feeling of being written in one night.

I think i said plenty.

Perhaps something rubbed miss...

hayworth.

Well, it seems i must have done something right

if ms. hayworth has reacted so strongly.

And this was a particularly hot issue

of victoria's secret.

They had to make some very tough decisions.

You joke, but I really see nothing wrong

with dealing with the important subject matter.

All that thought and energy

put into saturday morning cartoons--

I think it's depressing.

[Country music playing]

max, max. I put my hand in my mouth

after I touched that money.

Can that be bad for you?

Of course. That's how germs are spread.

chet, two pitchers, please.

So my feeling is we're like a club--

bunch of guys hanging out all the time.

We should have a name.

Something that won't sound stupid,

look good on a satin jacket.

You heard from jane, grover?

No. We didn't end so good.

I got a post card from her.

That's one of kafka's houses.

Something tough. Cougars?

As you can probably imagine,

i've lost quite a few girlfriends to graduation.

What do you think about cougars?

Get the glasses.

Thank you, sir.

No, wait, man.

You're making me make myself dizzy.

Skippy wants to name our group.

What's the name?

Cougars or hawks or something.

We could get matching lobster bibs.

Forget it. Let's go to the hole.

No way. No hole for me.

That's where we're comfortable.

That's where the fun is.

The freshman biddies are there.

I don't need to go to a campus bar

to be reminded of my lack of success

with snotty college kids.

That's us. We're like celebrities to them.

No. We were celebrities.

Going back would be like doing hollywood squares.

i'm too nostalgic, i'll admit it.

We graduated four months ago.

What can you possibly be nostalgic for?

For conversations i had yesterday.

i've begun reminiscing events before they occur.

i'm reminiscing this right now.

I can't go to the bar

because i've already looked back on it,

and I didn't have a good time.

I think i'm going to switch back to briefs.

kate.

It's great to see you.

Grover, if you're still here,

you could tutor me.

Yeah. i'd like that.

It's high speed.

Got any stories for me to read?

Not yet. I think you're up-to-date on my oeuvre.

How's your love life, grover?

It's o.K. It's a c-plus.

It's o.K.

i've re-enrolled in school.

You can't do that.

Oh, can't I?

chet, come over here!

Oh, god. Don't bring him over here.

chet!

Why not? He's taken every class in the school.

He's a mad genius.

It's like having a parent around.

You can't re-enroll.

But I can, max.

I have money saved up

from my summer valet parking job.

That cutlass' fender i crushed

isn't going to sue.

i'm auditing classes i think I missed out on.

We didn't learn enough in school.

Now it's up to us to educate ourselves.

I think chet will back me up.

What are you taking?

i'm taking-- what are you doing?

Give me that!

You're always taking things.

You're not interested in anything

unless someone else has it.

Who's the child?

This is kate, my tutee.

What do you know about tutoring?

Why does everybody have these things they do

that I don't know anything about?

Because you don't listen. I know kate.

Thank you.

max, you're a philosophy major.

You'll be interested in this.

i'm taking ethics, scandinavian lit,

personality--

you took personality.

I took behavior. There's a difference.

A very big one.

You know, you guys all talk the same.

[Max] O.K., i'm going home. I got boxes to pack.

If mrs. eargle is teaching scandinavian lit,

I wouldn't take it.

She's a horrible lecturer.

Enjoy school. It was nice to meet you, kate.

chet, always a pleasure.

Sir!

Me and max met before.

He's just being cool. Trust me.

max won't ever enjoy life.

I might have a job.

I have a second interview.

Really? Great.

Where?

Video planet.

You need a second interview at video planet?

Apparently.

Huh. What time is it?

Shit! i'm supposed to meet miami at the hole

five minutes ago.

i'll see you guys there?

Cougars.

Cougars!

Cougars!

Well, that's true. That's true, rick.

But if you'll excuse me--

and i'm paraphrasing myself here--

I have said before

that if plato is a fine red wine,

then aristotle is a dry martini.

Just...So you understand me.

Imagine it's going much more quickly.

Oh, thank you.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks very much.

Oh, my god.

jesus!

Look at this.

There's, like, food in here.

In the beer.

There's food in the beer.

Return it.

I don't want to upset her.

No, no! I don't want to bother her.

She seems irritable, a little distant.

I think it's been a hard day for her.

This might set her over the edge.

I want her to like me.

I like this better anyway.

Looks like a piece of chicken wing

or a cheese fry.

Look at this!

Don't complain to me

if you're not going to return it.

[Otis] I probably should have sent it back.

Listen. Seriously, don't tell max about it.

Ah, the hole.

I should have brought my hanky.

[Grover] What?

i'm going to start wearing a hanky around.

I think I made a wise decision with these slacks.

Grover! Grover! Me likes what me sees.

She wants you.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

Why, do you know her?

[Blondie's heart of glass playing]

Come on, man. Let's go.

Hey, sweetheart.

You look great.

Thanks. You do, too.

Move it along.

cheryl.

All right. Go ahead, man.

Hurry up!

You got an I.D.?

Yeah.

I don't have it on me.

i'm way over 21.

I need proof.

You look old enough, but I need proof.

Shit.

Where the hell did I leave it?

Got to have id!

Can't drink without id.

My friend got this big hoop

as a nose ring.

Then one day while running to a class,

she got it caught

in somebody else's hair.

It ripped half her nose off.

Well, there's also that dark side

to the nose ring.

You would look good with a nose ring.

Yeah. i'll probably get one.

It would have to be something

right in the center.

That would give you a tribal look.

I think that's a good suggestion.

Look at this girl.

i'd like to fuck her, if you know what I mean.

I have no idea what you mean.

[Man] Hey, skippy, you fuck!

Well, if it isn't fuck suck-ass shit-cock!

That's fish. He's pretty cool.

Goddamn, you're out of control, man!

I.D.

I.D.

They wouldn't let you in either, huh?

No. I lost my wallet.

Well, I gave my fake I.D. To my friend,

and now she's in there partying

while i'm out here.

Do you have a fake I.D.?

No, I, uh...

I have a real I.D.

You're 21?

22.

Wow.

Old man river.

There's an eighties party in the dorms.

You have work to do, as do I.

We shouldn't be out so late.

i'm going.

i'll go.

You'll go? Great.

Yeah, right.

What-- what dorm?

Think I flew off the handle there?

I think you were fine.

Skippy, get me a drink, huh?

Thanks.

Ceiling.

Books.

As I lay dying.

Heart of darkness.

* ay yi yi

* ay yi yi yi

* ay yi yi yi yi yi yi yi *

* ay yi yi

* ay yi yi yi

* ay yi yi...

* in this heart of darkness *

[telephone rings]

[Ring]

Hello.

max, when josie and the pussycats

were in outer space,

what was the name of the puffy guy who flew?

Bleep bleep.

Great. Thanks.

It was bothering me.

You drunk?

Yeah.

You got a message from your ex-girlfriend.

I should call her.

Got a quarter for me?

Who's that?

jane two, electric boogaloo?

Yep.

Where are you?

Nowhere. What are you doing?

[Reggae music playing]

We'll see you.

[Blues music playing]

I got to go sleep with a freshman.

O.K. Me, too.

Bye-bye.

* in a twilight moment...

Don't you have a roommate?

No. My uncle, he's a therapist.

He wrote a note

and said that I was mentally unstable.

I hope you don't mind i took my shirt off.

Well, maybe just this once.

I really love the blues.

Oh, amy...

I don't know.

i've been recently widowed.

Well, you don't have to worry about anything.

i'm not going to leave my boyfriend for you or...

It just seems like a college thing to do.

Oh...

Come on.

Be romantically self-destructive with me.

* in a twilight moment... *

oh, amy...

Mmm. O.K., look.

i'll sleep over,

but I won't sleep with you.

You pussy.

Come on, woman.

Why don't you take off your skirt?

Ha ha ha!

[In high voice] Hello, my friend.

My little friend, you do nothing.

max belmont does nothing.

[Lower voice] Oh, max. What do you do?

[Normal voice] Oh, I do nothing.

Hey.

[Grumbles]

Do you know him?

Stupid freshmen say hi to everybody.

You beat off today?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

I caught myself writing

"go to bed" and "wake up" in my date book

as if they were two different events.

[Clanging]

What kind of job you going to apply for?

I need money,

but i'd rather not settle for anything small.

We're in munton.

There is only small in munton.

Hey, fellas!

Can't talk. I got class. Later.

You need to make this sound more impressive.

This is ridiculous. Drove a truck?

Why did you drive a truck?

Deliver cheese.

What kind of cheese?

What do you mean?

Gouda. Stilton, maybe.

That's fancy cheese. It wasn't american?

No, I delivered foreign cheeses.

I just drove the truck.

I realize that.

How about "responsibilities included...

"Transportation of gourmet cheese products

throughout the metropolitan area"?

Hey, that's nice!

Aha! See, you make fun of me,

but there is something going on here.

Well, my brother's gay, so I know.

Anyway, um...

Are you going to the rally?

You know, racism spans the globe.

From howard beach to crown heights,

we witness acts of hatred.

"From howard beach to crown heights"?

That's like "from the living room to the dining room,

we witness acts of hatred."

"Racism spans from here to the dance floor."

So much anger.

Could I get you a jell-o shot, miami?

Grape?

Sure. Why not? i'll try one.

Thanks.

[Friedrich] Two grapes!

Where's skippy?

You guys all talk alike.

Skippy says he's doing homework,

but I think he just watches tv

and drinks colt .45--

the big ones?

Yeah, I know them.

What's grover up to?

He'd like us to think he's writing a novel,

but we know he goes out and gallivants

with freshmen women trying to relive jane--

if you'd like my intro to psych analysis.

Who did you take intro to psych with?

No one. I dated a girl who took it.

Look at these fucking people.

This sleaze, for instance.

"i'm getting I hate it tattooed inside my mouth."

"i'm the guy that girls like to hug,

"the safe guy.

"i'll spend a night in a girl's bed,

"and nothing will happen.

We'll lie down and chat."

[Miami] And these girls.

"We're both art history majors,

"and we're real cute,

"but to be perfectly honest,

"anything past impressionism

kind of leaves us cold."

"i'll be taken to college court

for date-raping one of these girls."

Who knows what this fool's trying to swing?

Just another tattoo-and-motorcycle

mickey rourke jerk-wad.

And what are you?

[Beep]

[Jane] Was that the beep?

Hi, grover. It's me--jane.

How are you?

Um, i'm over here in prague.

Always feel I should say something important

when I call long distance,

but I don't have anything to say right now.

I was in poland for a while,

if you tried to reach me.

I finally read war and peace, which was good--

like that was a surprise.

In poland, i took this trip to auschwitz.

I hope this is the right number.

That sounds terrible-- "i took a trip to auschwitz."

Well, bye.

You'll never believe how bad american coffee is

until you've been here.

[Beep]

Hi. How are you?

Grover.

You're going to think this is really weird,

but I did think that your story was o.K.

Oh. Well, thanks.

Um, while i'm here,

i'd just like to respond to a remark

that you made in class yesterday.

I couldn't think of anything clever

to say then,

but last night in bed, i came up with a retort.

When you said I might be

perversely attracted to your story,

I should have responded, "i'm not attracted

to so many spelling mistakes."

i'm...

Responding to your witticism now.

14 hours after I said it?

Yes.

Uh-huh.

Ah! Thanks.

I really appreciate you meeting here.

My mom and i had an argument--

oh, no problem. Please.

She got really angry yesterday.

Um, where should we, uh...

I think i'm going to sit here.

I never really sit here.

All right. Well, i might sit here.

Oh, that's max's place.

Yeah. Feeling kind of surly.

Ha ha!

Speaking of surly and max,

it might be better if we don't ever mention

this book club to max.

Why? Are you ashamed

that we're starting a book club?

No, no. Nothing like that.

It's just that... You know max.

He very likely will have an opinion.

Mmm...

Yeah.

You're probably right.

Well, shall we begin?

Mmm!

First of all,

thank god we speak fluent spanish, huh?

You know what I noticed near the end of the book

when grady goes to the prison?

The violence, which had a ferocious energy about it,

departed from the emotional violence

and became terrifyingly brutal and real,

particularly after he left the prison

and he went to find that horse.

I found the descriptions of the horse

to be, frankly, astonishingly beautiful

and yet disturbingly arousing.

What are your thoughts?

Um, yeah, yeah. Yeah, definitely.

Umm...Yeah.

You are right on, i think.

You really--

you've pinned down the, uh...

What it is about the book,

definitely with the prison

when, um...

When grady is, um--

there's violence.

There's a lot of violence,

and it's like night and day.

And when grady, uh...

He saw the... Those horses,

I think you were saying, um...

And it was arousing.

It was violently arousing.

otis...

Have you read this book?

Yeah.

No.

Oh, please.

i've been so busy.

I read this book

and formed a few thoughts about it.

If you won't take this seriously,

perhaps we should disband the club

before feelings get hurt.

No, no, no.

I don't want any-- any feelings--

I was remiss in that i--i...

i've got my brother with the mail fraud thing,

and my...

My mother caught me

authorizing a porn station last night.

Ooh!

i'm sorry.

Ha ha!

I don't mean to laugh, but...

She was angry like i've never seen her before.

Yeah.

Well.

God, I think i'm going to

blow this job interview off.

No, otis, please don't.

You need a healthy dose of self-esteem.

You need a job. Get out of your mom's home.

What if I don't get it?

You shoot for the stars and hit the roof.

Yeah.

Well...

Next week?

Next week without-- by far.

I mean, from your description,

this sounds like a great book.

Who would win-- freddy or jason?

freddy.

You've got to be ready at all times.

If a customer wants to know where a movie is,

you've got to be prepared to tell him

what section it's in.

If I said turner & hooch, what would you say?

Comedy.

Close. We've got a special section

for dog buddy pictures.

Oh, I see.

Someone put terms of endearment in with prison movies.

earl!

That twit.

It's supposed to go in "terminal illness."

What are your influences?

Um...

samuel fuller...

All the good ones,

all the other... Ones.

Mmm. Mmm.

[polish music playing]

Oh, dad seems fine.

Yeah.

Well, it's hard to tell on the phone.

[Chet] otis.

Uh-huh.

No. He seems better. He seems less depressed.

No. I don't think you ruined his life.

He'll recover.

[Chet] Listen, I was told to be here

for the friday afternoon book club

to discuss the novel we'd read during the week.

Have you read the book, otis?

[Otis] Yes.

We'll talk about the book later.

i'm here. I don't like to waste time.

i'll help you clean up.

Tidy is a life-style choice.

I like to be of service.

It just pisses me off.

Why do you keep bringing him here?

He's a friend of mine.

I think it's good to make new friends.

Why do you need more friends?

What about me?

You got enough friends. A new one is bad.

You start spreading around your affection,

it runs thin, believe me.

Since when is there a book club?

Want to join?

No.

Your loss.

So that's where that was.

Yeah. I don't know why I keep packing it.

[Chet] Oh, my god.

There's hair all over the floor.

This place is a pigsty.

What's that you're doing?

Huh? i'm measuring the distance

from the couch to the tv.

chet said that we've been sitting

a couple inches too close.

Don't you find television watching a waste of time?

Yeah, but you're doing the crossword,

an equal waste of time if not a greater one.

But at least i'm thinking of words

and roots of words and sometimes in latin.

A bigger waste of time than tv, no.

Anyone beat off today?

Hey, grover, how's your dad?

[Grover] That was mom.

Oh. How is julie?

It's bad enough to be whipped by your mother.

You have to have this wussy relationship with grover's?

You a a jackanapes.

A jackanapes! Ha ha ha!

Jackanapes.

Can we finish our conversation,

mr. book club?

I watch tv with a critical eye.

If I get truly sucked in,

it's time to change the channel.

[Max] Is it abbreviated? Plural? I have to ask myself.

max, can I ask a question?

Your attention span is 1/4 of a music video.

There are dull parts in videos.

[Grover] max, did you screw miami?

What?

otis?

I thought he knew.

I just told you-- out of guilt.

We've developed a weak, pathetic familiarity.

Talking to you is like talking to myself.

The operative words are "weak" and "pathetic."

What do we do with this information?

I don't want it.

Then give it back.

And stop looking at me, chet.

I can see he's judging me.

Stop judging me!

Put the broom down. Stop cleaning!

But skippy is your friend.

Shut up!

max.

How was she?

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing.

It's just, you gave me a black cup.

I can't drink from a black cup.

It's just too much black.

It's all that black.

I can't see the coffee.

I like to see what i'm drinking.

Yeah.

I don't like raisins.

It's so funny because my mother,

she used to make me eat them

even though she knew i hated them.

And then she...

The end.

50 cents.

What's this?

When I tell a bad story,

I pay people for their time.

I liked it. It was short, but I liked it,

especially the part about your mom.

Really? You did?

Yeah.

i'll take a quarter.

Do you, uh...

Want that?

No. No, that's...

That's o.K. Sorry.

My parents.

They still come and visit me

after four years.

You'd think they'd be sick of it.

Your parents still together?

Yeah.

Whew!

What are you writing?

i've always thought that my parents were part

of the trickle-down method of parenting.

You know, like,

reflection on the reagan years--

looked good to a lot of people,

but i'm paying for all that neglect now.

My parents have sort of a...

A lyndon johnson feel to them,

like there's no satisfactory reason

why they became parents,

like my real parents were assassinated

and these people were next in line for the job.

I don't know.

They fight a lot, but they'll never split.

I wish this year

would last forever sometimes.

I know.

Can I talk to you about something?

Mister, don't even start with me.

This has been the worst day.

Join the club.

Bonjour, max.

Ohh.

I hated the food when I went here.

Now i'm back by choice.

What can i get for you?

Can I get more pasta and a potato?

Can't give you both. One entree per person.

Potato is an entree?

Yep. That's all some people eat around here.

When I went here,

you could get two potatoes and an entree.

Things have changed, you know? Cutbacks.

Couldn't you just bend the rules a bit...

kate?

i'm sorry. I can't.

i'm not a student here. This is my job.

I could get fired.

Aren't you grover's friend?

Yeah. Oh...

You're the girl.

This is your job.

This is my job.

kate.

max.

What can i get for you?

Can I get another potato, kate?

Sure.

[Giggling]

[Tape rewinding]

[Beep]

[Jane] Hi.

Uh, it's me.

I feel really stupid calling again.

I wish someone

would just pick up or call or something.

max, are you there?

Are you... Doing a crossword?

I have this fear

that you're all around the machine

giggling or something.

Grover, I...

I just wanted to tell you that i--

this is going to be a tight year.

The separation is costing a lot more

than I had anticipated.

You know, ellen...

Has this property...

Car still there?

Yeah. i'd feel more comfortable

if we sat by the window

so I could watch it.

How's jane?

Still in czechoslovakia.

You mean the czech republic.

Yeah, I guess I do.

Well, czech or slovakia.

You got to read the newspapers.

In college, I didn't get much chance

to read up on things.

Why aren't you with her?

Is that everything you own?

Yeah, except for some stuff

I got in storage.

Do you have any more cheese?

Just cheez whiz, actually.

That's o.K.

All right.

[Father] I started to run.

I threw out my back.

Beautiful campus here.

Hmm.

So, i've been thinking of things

to help you write, to unblock.

I liked that one story you sent me last year,

the one about you and your mother.

Oh, would you tell your mother

we have to settle the telephone bill from last may?

Yeah, sure.

i'll bet if your math grades had been higher,

you probably could have gotten into brown.

So, i'm moving in with ellen.

She's got this lovely property

in oyster bay--

beautiful grounds right on the ocean,

grotto pool.

So you're officially divorced?

No.

Legally separated.

Divorce would be a little expensive

for us right now.

I think the fact

that you were still going to school

sort of kept us together.

Yeah? Well, good, I guess.

It's tough.

It's tough, as i'm sure you know,

dating women.

Mm-hmm.

Before ellen, right after your mother,

I went to bed with a woman--

dad, i'm not ready

to accept you as a human being yet.

The idea of you and mom

is disgusting enough,

but you and another woman...

i'm 56, and I got to start

using condoms again.

Dad, stop.

By the time you unwrap it,

you lose your erection.

Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad!

Sorry.

It's just, making adjustments

to living without your mother

is wearing on me.

I have to work at my adjustments.

I think your mother's better at it than I am.

She seems to be o.K. Is that right?

Yeah. She seems good,

but from what i can tell,

this is pretty much her decision.

Yeah.

I hate to compromise...

Find a balance.

Ah, here's my fancy rental car.

Got a good deal on it, though.

Anyway, I was thinking that, uh...

Maybe you'd be interested

in moving into my apartment in the village.

There's a nice coffee shop--

a lot of writers and artists--

until you're ready to get on your feet.

i'm not really into the coffee house thing.

It's stupid.

Well, you don't have to go there.

i'll leave the cable in.

You get all the knick games.

It would be until next summer, though.

i'd like to rent it.

ellen used to work at the new yorker.

She could get you an internship

if you're interested.

Yeah. That actually sounds kind of nice.

ellen really likes you.

I don't wear jeans a lot.

I don't feel comfortable in jeans.

Want to take my car or yours?

I don't have a car.

So you want to take mine?

Yeah, that sounds good.

You know, i was thinking--

maybe you should apply

to graduate school in california.

You've always wanted to go there.

Why don't you apply to grad school in california?

Or that.

I don't know about things.

What don't you know?

Can we just admit some lies

that we may have told each other

at, uh...

Oh, god. What a question.

What?

i'm going to write it down.

What?

Throw me the sharpie?

Thanks.

I don't know what to do.

i'm sorry.

It was weeks ago.

It was at the hole.

I have a tremendous heat running through my body.

[Kate] Look at this suck-wad.

What-- what are you doing?

Hey! Get out of my spot.

What's your fucking problem, you suck-ass?

We were here first.

Hey, jerk-wad,

get out of my spot.

Get! Get, you mother--

this is fine, kate.

Let's park here. This is good.

You want to fight me? Want to fight?

i'll break your fucking legs.

i'll break your fucking legs.

i'm going to break his fucking legs.

i'm going to smash that car.

i'm going to break your fucking legs!

This shouldn't be done.

This guy would rather be bow hunting.

Don't upset him,

because he'd already rather be bow hunting,

and any additional aggravation...

Chickenshit!

[Tires squeal]

He left.

Yeah.

You make me sad, skippy.

You know, this big idea about you learning

and coming back to school

and taking all these classes.

You haven't done a stitch of reading

since you've been here.

You get on my case about my studies,

I mean, really--

god, I begged you to stay on prozac.

You used me to come back to school.

I could care less about your stupid classes.

"Is g.I. joe safe to give kids at christmas?"

"What's the effect of tv weathermen on society?"

My classes? Let's talk about your classes--

your dinosaur classes and all that shit.

Let's talk about your friends,

about how you guys

are all in love with each other

and how sick you make me

with your stupid games, those trivia games.

Ding! max loves grover.

Ding! Skippy does otis.

Ding! They all do each other.

It drives me nuts.

Ding that, skippy.

Get a fucking life.

Nice dime-store psychoanalysis.

You know what? I can't stand you.

I can't stand...

That, you know?

Your shoes, your pants,

that shirt you're wearing, your hair.

Your hair drives me crazy.

Just get out, o.K.?

I have homework to do.

Just get out.

Get out.

Get out.

Out.

Out.

Go.

Go.

Out.

Ha ha ha!

You've got nice eaves on your house there.

Eaves? You do the crossword, too, huh?

Yeah.

Well... I had a nice time.

Yeah.

You know, tomorrow's my birthday.

Really.

That's terrible. That's just the worst.

If I get you a big gift,

it looks like i'm overcompensating

and coming on too strong.

If I get you something small,

I look cheap.

i've inherited a tragedy.

It's like a venereal disease, a birthday at this point.

I don't know why everything

is always so glum with you at first--

potatoes, parking,

toppings on pizza.

I like birthdays.

i'm going to be 17 tomorrow,

and I like that.

17.

Wow.

So...Now you can read seventeen magazine

and get all the references.

So it's not so bad.

I want to be older. It's not a disease.

Well, may you see 17 more.

i'll only go to first with you tonight.

[Blues music playing]

"My saddlebags filled with misfortune,

and my boots filled with sorrow--"

oh, fuck.

"Bleeding cactus."

In or out!

Ow!

You o.K.?

Yeah. Listen, do you have something--

protection, I mean?

I know that's a silly question,

but, um...

I might. Hold on.

Where are my pants?

Ow.

Sorry.

Oh. No.

I don't have my wallet.

[Girl giggling]

audra, are you still awake?

No. Ha ha ha!

Do you have any condoms?

Oh...Let me see.

[Sigh]

[Friedrich] You should really be

more prepared.

Look, I hate to put you

through all this trouble

for a silly little condom.

No, we... We'll find something.

i'm going to look for my wallet.

[Friedrich] Oh, man!

Ahh!

Well, maybe you left your wallet at home.

Here's a condom.

Might be a little old.

The fucking bong!

Aw, monkey.

[Click]

[Beep]

[Grover's father] Grover, I need to know

if you're going to stay in my apartment.

Otherwise, i'll rent it. Call me.

knicks in trouble.

[Beep]

zach, do you have dr. giggles, letter box?

Insane doctors,

right next to interesting failures.

Yes!

Aha. This bastard wasn't kind,

didn't rewind,

and now, mister, you'll get fined.

When I make my movie,

they'll never find a category for it.

Did I tell you about my movie?

Yes.

It's changed. Now it's about this guy

who lives with his mother.

They fall in love.

It's real shocking, like lolita.

There weren't blood relations in lolita.

i'm doing something different, then.

And i'm playing with gender roles.

They'll probably put it in off-beat.

Way off-beat.

See? You're shocked.

Have this back by tuesday night.

You've got a delinquent mystic pizza.

Whatever.

See? You're shocked.

They'd have to invent a section for my movie.

That will be cool,

when I make my movie and it comes out on video,

you and I can see who rents it.

We could probably watch it on tv.

Do you plan on still working here

after you make a motion picture?

True, I may not be here then.

There is a certain laughability to kant.

He's valuable in certain ways,

but there's a laughability to him.

Is it me, or does "bankrupt" come up more often

on wheel of fortune now?

I see you as braque to my picasso.

[Max] Would you rather be buried, cremated,

or eaten by crows?

[Otis] I think i'd rather be cremated.

[Skippy] Can you name me

10 european capitals?

Ding, ding.

holland. England.

England.

Skippy, what kind of a triv master are you?

[Skippy] chet, you want to ding in?

No. At my age, I find trivia too exhausting.

Name me all nine friday the 13th movies.

Ding! Ding.

friday the 13th. friday the 13th ii.

friday the 13th iii in 3-d.

Iv, the final chapter.

V, a new beginning. Vii, the new blood.

Viii is jason takes manhattan.

Ix, jason goes to hell.

Vi, jason sucks some cock--

time is up.

i'm sure it's jason sucks some cock.

No. max.

jason kills.

That's it.

[Skippy] There's no jason kills.

We'll give it to him anyway.

You'll give it to him?

You shouldn't be triv master.

jason kills is an idiotic title.

They could call all of them jason kills.

Should I take his points back?

Yes, you should.

[Max] There is no jason kills?

[Skippy] No!

[Otis] Are we talking about the tv show?

Shut up. It's not jason kills, is it?

It's jason lives.

Ah! jason lives.

Who the fuck cares what jason does?

[Otis] You started this.

Look at us.

Was charles in charge a movie?

I quit. You're all a bunch of media slaves.

I hate this game-show shit.

kate...

i'm having a slight nervous breakdown right now.

Could...

Would you mind excusing yourself, please?

I took back his points.

Thank you.

This is all conversational blue balls.

Calm down. Somebody woke up

on the wrong side of the futon.

You're the biggest wet blanket of us all.

Worst influence on anyone.

i'm going home.

None of us are going anywhere.

[Max] Shut up, skippy.

Leave skippy alone.

Leave skippy alone? That's his role.

We like to kick him around.

That's the norm.

It's a bad habit.

This is all just habit.

These drinks we're drinking-- scotch.

You smoke like a chimney, grover.

Affectations have become habits.

You're no different than us.

We stay together out of fear.

That's all we know.

We should adjust and treat him better.

He's not a child.

max, you just accept everything,

like it will go on like this.

i'm 22.

When i'm 42, you'll be 42,

and otis will be 42.

Thanks.

That's interesting. My birthday is

in a month, so i'll be 43, but...

You know what I mean.

Just leave skippy be.

He's not a child.

max is an asshole,

but he's right.

What? i'm defending you, you idiot.

This crap is all just a symptom of the pressures

the hawks have put upon themselves--

I thought we were the cougars.

Cougars, jerk-offs! Who gives a fuck?

It's a symptom of the pressures

we put upon ourselves to remain friends

in this unnatural environment--

liberal arts bullshit! i'm not prepared.

[Chet] Is everything all right here?

Soon we'll start

back-stabbing one another.

Skippy.

I know.

You and miami.

I slept with her.

Yeah, I know. She told me...

And grover told me, too.

And otis told me, also.

I didn't say a word.

Well, aren't we all good friends?

Although miami said she slept with max,

and three of you say max slept with her.

I don't know who to believe.

I am sorry.

We were both just...There.

i'm not--

I mean, there's kate.

I know.

I hate you.

Essentially, we're not friends.

Basically, you're a fuck-head.

As of now--

wait till the second hand passes the 5.

There. As of now,

our friendship is done.

It's official. It's finished.

Hi.

I was just walking by--

hold it. Just...

i'm having...

One of those times

where my name sounds very weird to me.

My name is jane.

jane.

It all sounds so foreign to me, you know?

This is really where you like to hang out, huh?

Yeah. I like to come here

and get away from the school--

think about graduation.

Plus chet lets me listen to talk radio.

i'm just addicted to it.

This is a townie bar.

There are these little things

that people have as pets called dogs.

You know. Dogs.

Cantaloupe.

We eat cantaloupe.

What are you talking about?

These--these things.

These things that we take for granted,

they're all so weird.

You know, these words.

These... These names.

jane.

jane.

Grover.

Gro...

Ver.

What are you drinking?

Scotch.

Yikes.

i'm aware of that--

Can you tell?

No.

Come on.

Well, yeah.

When you were at the bar,

you were saying diaphragm instead of diploma.

Other than that, no.

What about me?

No. I had no idea.

You seemed fine.

When you called chet "daddy,"

I thought that's who he was--

your daddy.

Shit. I got to be

What do I do?

Being at my therapist's drunk--

i'm embarrassed to say. I just...

I didn't want to have any attachments

at school my senior year--

you know, graduation and all.

Yeah. Me, too.

I just hope...

That we both...

Feel this way after today.

After we leave this moment, I...

I hope that after the alcohol wears off

and you go talk to your shrink

and I go back to my friends,

I just hope we keep this.

It's not really as dramatic as all that.

I mean, we've got some time.

It's a long life.

Hey, what if we did have a love affair?

Do you think it would really last?

Well, that's a good attitude.

[Sighs]

[Jane] Hi.

Uh, it's me.

I feel really stupid calling again.

I wish someone would just pick up or call or something.

She's really happy.

Her new professor's terrific,

and he's very encouraging of her writing.

She stopped calling me.

I thought about calling her.

It just seems like a lot to do.

She's so far.

That long-distance code is so long.

It's long.

It's really long.

And i'm not there.

Do you plan to leave here ever?

Why would I leave?

I don't know.

You know, i sold term papers

to make a living,

slept with undergraduates, the whole deal.

After my seventh or eighth year,

I began to feel like i was using myself.

Somehow i experienced my time

as a postponement of my life,

but eventually, i just realized

that this is my life.

I can see getting used to it.

I met a woman-- my third

american history of the 20th century professor.

We had this child.

Nice.

It is nice.

It's nice.

But it's not for everyone. Uh-uh.

Some people need to have a real career,

which is something

that i've never really understood,

you know--

why someone would want to be a vet

or a lawyer or a filmmaker.

i'm paraphrasing myself here,

but I am a student,

and that's what I chose.

You might need to choose something else,

and that's...

I like that you drink.

I like a bartender who drinks.

Otherwise, I feel like i'm being poisoned.

Here's a joke.

How do you make god laugh?

How?

Make a plan.

Ha.

Now arriving at gate 4b...

Oh, god.

Huh...

My mother put mayonnaise on this.

This thing is swimming in mayonnaise.

I could get really sick

if I don't get this refrigerated soon, right?

Absolutely.

Warm mayonnaise only means trouble.

Oh!

So we'll see you... When? Spring break?

Yeah.

What?

N-no.

I think it might be better if I stay till summer.

Oh, god, i'm antsy times four.

Bye, otis.

Oh, bye, kate.

[Giggles]

max is going to miss you.

Boy...

High school.

I miss that like a bitch now, too.

O.K.

[Muffled speech]

Thanks.

O.K. Just get this over with.

[Baby coos]

Look at the baby!

i'll give you $400

if you go in the duty-free shop with no pants

and start yelling, "look at me!"

otis said you applied for a job

in the philosophy department.

Did he say that?

Hmm.

Then it must be true.

kate might take time off after school,

we might get a place.

And there's the prom.

Don't make fun.

I didn't make fun.

I got my tuxedo.

Bye, baby.

Attention--flight 426,

there is a gate change.

Flight 426 to boston

now boarding at gate 12b.

Shit.

I wish I hadn't noticed that.

I think my scarf looks great.

Give me some sugar.

That's high speed.

[Indistinct talking]

[Airplane taking off]

Flight 368...

Yeah, it is. 14d. There you go.

Thank you.

Have a safe flight.

Are there any flights to prague?

We have our shuttle

that goes to international terminal,

then you change for paris,

and change there for prague.

And the shuttle, uh, leaves when?

In an hour.

Well, put me on it.

i'm sorry, sir. That flight's all booked.

Everybody else in america

has already been to prague.

What's the big deal you send one extra?

i'm sorry.

i've been needing to go there for a long time.

I mean, there's czech and slovakia

and then the big jewish cemetery

and the opera house.

Maybe that's vienna where the opera house is,

but that's nearby.

Given the opportunity, i'd hit vienna, too.

Hell, i'd do all of europe, given the chance.

I can imagine jane and some pragian idiot

dancing the night away.

What a horrible image.

And the coffee.

All I know is american coffee--

or beer or whatever-- is good over there.

It's got to all be better over there.

Nothing I eat has any taste.

This has been such a strange time.

What if I was there now?

How would things be different?

Isn't there a big bridge with statues on it?

I seem to remember that from a history class.

jane and some guy kissing on the bridge

in public.

Or jane and some czech writer.

The image kills me.

Just great.

This is so frustrating

because i'm terrible at conflict.

If i'd imagined this problem

while falling asleep,

I don't think i'd have spoken up to you.

Even in my fantasy life, i would have accepted it.

That's who I am.

But today, i have to go.

When I tell people about this in the future,

I know it will be the time that I went.

When I review this in my head,

I won't know what I did or why.

I think they've done something

with the real grover.

But it will make a good story

of my young-adult life--

the time I chose to go to prague.

I won't believe that I actually went,

you know, I went away.

So let me go. I have to.

I need...

Just put me on the plane

and let me go.

[Typing]

I think I can find a seat for you.

Very good, mr. cary.

Now i'll just have to see your passport.

Well, you can always go tomorrow.

Yeah.

Thanks.

This is for my confession in the bar.

i'm--i'm a little drunk,

but I didn't mean to scare you.

That's o.K. i'll take 50 cents.

Thanks.

You still find your name weird?

Oh, no.

Just happens to me occasionally.

Oh! I came up with a great comeback

to something that you said to me yesterday.

I can't remember it now, though.

How come I never saw you before writing class?

I guess you didn't look.

i've always been there.

To think, for four years,

we were catching the same colds,

being bit by the same mosquitoes.

To think.

So what's your sign?

i'm a scorpio.

Why?

i'm a--a libra.

Oh, really?

What does that mean?

I don't know.

It should mean something.

It sounds like it does.

Yeah, it does. It must.

Some story ideas?

Oh, just something occurred to me.

That's good, to do that.

I forget to carry writing materials.

Is it really obnoxious?

O.K. The way I see it,

if we were an old couple,

dated for years, graduated,

away from scholastic complications,

and I reached over and kissed you,

you wouldn't say a word.

You'd be delighted...

Probably.

But if i did that now,

it would be quite forward.

If I did it the first time we ever met,

you probably would hit me.

What do you mean?

I just wish we were an old couple

so I could do that.
