All language subtitles for Summer Of 42 1971.1080p.BluRay

When I was 15

and my family came
to the island for the summer,

there weren't nearly
as many houses or people

as there are now.

The geography of the island

and the singularity
of the sea

were far more noticeable then.

If a guy wasn't
to die of loneliness,

his family made certain

that other families
from his neighborhood

contributed other kids
to the island.

Look out, Hermie!
- Is he playing?

Look out.

Present with me
in the summer of '42

were Oscy, my best friend,

and Benjie,

my next-to-best friend.

We called ourselves

The Terrible Trio.

And that house up there...

that was her house.

And nothing from that first day
I saw her

and no one that has
happened to me since

has ever been as frightening

and as confusing.

For no person
I've ever known

has ever done more

to make me feel more sure,

more insecure...

more important...

and less significant.

He's gonna take her
right into that bedroom.

Better put the
wood down first.

Ahh...
funny.

Hey, come on!

Oscy, for
christ's sakes!

Hey, come on, Hermie!
Will you move your ass?

Give it back,
Oscy!

Ha ha ha!

Oh, no!

Ha ha ha!

Boy, I'd like to feel
every one of those girls.

You know, I should
have tripped on them.

They'd never know
I was getting a feel.

That's not the way to do it.

So, what's the way
to do it?

You have to
say things.

Alright. So I'll say,
"Excuse me."

You know
what I mean.

You just can't go to a girl
and fall on her.

It isn't done.

Why not?

I did it with
Gladys Potter.

She was only 12.
What did she know?

I don't know.

Didn't seem
to mind, though.

Well, she
was surprised.

So was I.
Nothing to feel.

Hey, come on, Benjie.
Stop dragging.

I don't know what's
gonna become of him.

He has no emotions.

He's just confused.

Yeah.

Yeah, so am I.

I've been waking up lately
in the middle of the night.

A lot.

Yeah,
that's ok.

I do, too.

You do?

Yeah.

Yeah, but...

I wake up
feeling crazy...

And thinking
about Vera Miller.

So what?

So I hate
Vera Miller.

Jesus!

You think
I'm in love with her?

Gee,
I don't know.

God, I hope
I'm not in love with her.

I hate her.

Well, what kind of thoughts
do you have about her?

I forget.

Then how can
I help you?

Who the hell is
asking for help?

What are you
talking about?

Nothing you'd
understand.

Ah, screw you!

That's your
whole problem, Benjie.

You're only interested
in screwing me.

Try screwing
a girl.

Ok!

"Ok," he says.

You wouldn't know
the first thing to do.

Would so!

Ok, what's the first
thing you do?

You feel them!

Wrong!
You kiss them.

We didn't kiss
Gladys Potter!

We weren't in love
with Gladys Potter.

When you're in love with a girl,
you're supposed to kiss het first.

Ain't that right
Hermie?

It's polite.

It's not required.

It's required,
you ninny.

It is not.

How do you know?

Because I found
a book.

If my mother knew
I took that book

It doesn't belong
to me.

It doesn't belong
to my mother.

It belongs
to the house.

If you get fingerprints
on those pages,

It's your funeral.

My mother's gonna
miss that book.

It's the biggest
on the shelf.

Books fell
as I pulled it out.

Hold it.
Hurry up!

Kill me, I don't
read as fast as you.

Ok, turn.

Jesus! Do you believe
all this stuff?

Yeah. It's
a medical journal.

Why should they lie?

How do they take
pictures like that?

They must have
special cameras.

What drugstores
would develop them?

If we took them in,
we'd be in reform school.

I guess they developed
them themselves.

Yeah.
I guess that's what they do.

Let me look.
- You'll foam at the mouth.

It's my book!
- Let him look.

There!
They're doing it!

I don't
believe it!

You'd better.

One day your turn is gonna come.

And you better know
what to do.

My parents
never did that!

Never!
- Why not?

Because
it's stupid.

I hate to break the news,
but that's how it's done.

Stop pushing me
around.

It could be
dangerous.

It looks dumb
in the pictures,

When two people are in love,
it is supposed be very pleasant.

How do you know?
You've never done it.

It's right here in the book!

In black and white and color.

That's why
people kiss first...

Just to get to know each other.

Then they're
in love.

Then they make...
- Foreplay! It's called foreplay.

Everyone takes off their clothes,
and they play foreplay.

Then he does this,

And she does this,
and he does this,

And before you know it,
they're screwing!

What could be
simpler than that?

Listen. Before I saw these pictures,
I didn't think it was possible either.

But these are pictures,
Benjie, pictures!

These aren't drawings.
I've seen them.

These are pictures!

In emergency,
it could mount, oh...

.350-Caliber jobs,

Probably handle about...

A dozen or so
depth charges.

Ah, it'd sink
if it hit a fish.

Stripped down,
it could do 30, 40 knots.

Yeah,
30 or 40 knots!

30 or 40 knots!
Straight down!

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8,

9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16...

22, 23,
24, 25,

26, 27.

1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8,

9, 10, 11, 12...

18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23,

35, 36, 37,
38, 39, 40...

44, 45, 46, 47...

51, 52, 53...

I wish somebody would
invade this dopey island!

I'm going mad!

Mad.

Hey.

Hey, Oscy,
it's that lady again.

Hermie, you're not gonna go into
another deathlike trance again, are you?

I'd swear, Hermie.
I don't know what's come over you.

That's a very old
person over there.

I don't see
the attraction.

Maybe it's
her mind.

Maybe their minds
meet and say hello.

Why don't you go
say hello to her mind?

Go on, go say hello.

Cut it out.

If she's the love of you're
life, go say hello to her.

We wanna see you go say hello.

Maybe you're a hotshot lover
we don't know about.

Cut it out.

Knock it off!

Go say hello
to her.

Come on,
go say hello!

Yeah!
Go say hello!

We wana see you go say hello.

Go say hello to her!

Hey, lady in the pink suit!

It's Hermie the rape artist!

It's Jack the Ripper!

It's Herman the German!

Nazi spy!
It's a sex fiend!

It's Hermie the rape artist!

Come on.

Uhh!

Ah!

God damn!

Oscy, I'll...

Hey, come on,
Herm-Herm-

Hermie!
Come on.

We were only kidding!

It was a joke!

Look out, Oscy!
Look out!

Knock it off,
Hermie!

Knock it off!

Cut it out!

I'm gonna let you go, ok?

I'm gonna let you go.

Ok.

Ah!

God damn it,
Hermie!

You're really crazy!
You know that?

Crazy!

Jesus!

That's enough,
God damn it!

Son of a bitch!

Oh, Jesus.

Jesus, Oscy!
You killed him.

Aah!
Shit!

Hey, leave him
alone, Benjie.

Leave him alone!
- Aah!

The son of a bitch
threw sand in my face.

Oh, God damn it!
I mean...

We'll see you later,
Hermie.

Bastards.

Hermie,
where are you going?

The planet Mongo.

It's not even 8:00.

I can't do anything
about that!

What did you have
for breakfast?

An elephant.

Bring me back
a newspaper.

Ok!

And Time Magazine
for your father.

Jesus.

Ow!

Oh!

May I offer
some assistance?

Oh, yes, you may.

I really didn't expect
to buy so much.

I should have
brought my wagon.

Yeah, you should have
brought your wagon.

Yes.

What you really need
is a wagon.

I think you're right.

I can take one.

No, it's ok.

If we both take some,
we can manage.

I'll happily pay you.

I wouldn't think of it.

My house is a pretty long walk.

I know where it is.
- You do?

Yeah. It's that way.

Are you sure it's ok?

Yeah, it's ok.

Won't you let me
take one?

No. Oh, no.

Do you live
on the island?

In the summer.

With your family?

Yeah. But they
don't bother me.

I pretty much
go my own way.

Aren't they pretty?

Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

I couldn't resist.

I got a 12-Page
letter today.

Oh? That's nice.

It sure is.

Hey, Hermie!

Somebody called you.

Not me.

Is your name Hermie?

Yeah.

Well, somebody
back there called you.

No, not me.

Well, he called
Hermie.

Well, Hermie's
a pretty common name.

Oh.

This is it.

I can go further.

Oh, there's
really no need.

Ok.

Oh, can you
bring them in?

Sure.

Hold on.

Got it.

In there,
in the kitchen.

Ok.

You can put them
on the table.

Whoops.

They should
make these bags stronger.

I think
you're right.

Please let me
give you some money.

I wouldn't
think of it.

How can I repay you?

It's ok, really.

I'm going to
have coffee.

Would you like some?

Sure.

Great. Sit down.

Ooh, these are
marvelous doughnuts.

Help yourself.

Coffee will be ready
in a few minutes.

You drink coffee,
don't you?

I consume a couple
of cups a day.

Well, I have milk.
- Oh, no. I take it black.

Are you in high school?

I'm a sophomore.

I thought you
were older.

Next year I'll be
a junior, and so on.

Don't be in a hurry.

You may end up in the army
before you know it

I'm prepared to go.

I'm taking preflight courses
in high school.

I guess
I'll get my wings.

Maybe I can team up
with my brother.

He's a paratrooper.

Maybe I can
drop him out.

So your brother's
a paratrooper.

Yeah.

Mostly I have
a sister in high school.

Coffee's ready.

I hope it's alright.
It's from this morning.

It looks fine.

I have a little bit of sugar.
Would you like some?

Oh, no, thanks.
I'll take it black.

I forgot to tell you,
it's awfully hot.

Are you alright?
Have some milk.

Do you think I can have
a glass of ice water?

I'll put ice in your coffee.
You could have ice coffee.

Sure. Great.
- I'm sorry.

Are you alright?

It's ok.

I'm really sorry.

Do you have many friends
on the island?

Yeah, two.

But they're... immature.
You know.

What do you do
to keep yourself busy?

Well, I lean
toward basketball,

but there's a lot
to be said for baseball.

At least, in baseball you don't get
round-shouldered from dribbling.

No, that's true.

Mmm.

Do you like music?

Yeah. Yeah,
I'm quite musical.

Oh, do you
play an instrument?

Yeah. I sing.

I think a voice
is like an instrument.

I do, too.

And then for a change,
you can always whistle.

I can see that.

Mmm.

You like those.
- They're good.

I think I'll be going.

Do you have to go?

Yes. I really think I should.
- Oh, wait.

Here, take the rest
of the doughnuts.

It's the least
I can do.

Thank you very much.
- No, I thank you.

You're welcome.
It was a privilege.

Next time, I'll be sure
to take my wagon.

Yeah, I think you should.
You could get a hernia.

Goodbye, Hermie,
and thanks again.

Goodbye.
You're welcome.

Perhaps I'll
see you again sometime.

It would be
a privilege.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Hernia! Jesus!

Hermie!
- Hey!

Hey, Hermie!

Wait a minute!

Hermie, hold on.

Hi.

You were in there
a long time.

Could have been
out in 10 seconds.

What happened?
- We had drinks.

You're kidding! He had drinks.
- Big deal.

She let you get funny?
- Oh, you're a dope.

An older woman like that?
What's a little feel to her?

She let you have
a feel of her?

She gave me
some doughnuts.

Probably stinks
from perfume.

Grow up.

What happened in
there all that time?

I wasn't aware
of the time.

It flew quickly.

I'd like to
give her a feel.

I thought you
were mature, Oscy.

It's really mature
to feel girls.

My brother
does it all the time

Then how come
he's a dentist?

Hey, don't get to be such
a big shot, all of a sudden.

And don't try to tell us
something went on with you and that lady.

I ain't trying to tell
you anything.

Which is the same as
telling us a lot went on.

Screw you.

I ain't saying something happened
if nothing happened.

Nothing happened.

Now that makes you believe
something happened,

I'm sorry for you
because nothing happened.

Jesus! I even know her name.

You expect us
to believe that?

I don't care
what you believe.

I'm going home.

My father's waiting
for his Time Magazine.

Going home?

Yeah, going home.

I got a few things
to think over.

I'm going home.

What are you gonna do later?

Kill myself.

No, after that.

I don't know, Oscy.
I don't know!

Hernia! Jesus!

Good evening.

Fine night
for an evening of movies.

Are you old enough
to be up this late?

I have two
charming friends.

You have ice cream
on your face.

Ah, that perfume.
I grow dizzy.

My friends and I would like you
three ladies to join us in the movies.

Dutch treat,
I suppose.

Yeah, but we'll spring
for refreshments.

Where are they?

It's those
two rascals there.

Where?
- Over there.

Smile. Look older.

Here, come on.

They're coming
this way.

Oscy.
- Don't panic.

I'm sweating.

Don't sweat.

This is Hermie
and Benjie,

And this is Miriam.

This is Aggie,
and this is Gloria.

Hermie, you're with Aggie,
because you're both intellectual.

Benjie, you're with
Gloria... because.

I have to go home.

If Gloria doesn't go, we don't go.
- Benjie.

It's not important that I go.
- Don't be silly.

Not being silly.
I don't wanna go.

Well, then we won't go.
- Go without her.

She's our friend.
We stick together.

Go without me.

She wants us to go without her.
- She doesn't.

She does.
- She does not.

She left.
Let's get in line.

The night's still young.
I don't wanna miss the cartoon.

Hello.
- Hi.

Then we each
want a 15-cent candy.

Yeah, sure, ok.

15 cents.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, that's the last time
I ever do anything for Benjie.

He's too young.
It's beyond him.

He almost screwed up
the whole arrangement.

I got bad news.
- What?

You have to
lend me a dime.

Here's a nickel.
- Hold on, I got some pennies.

Hey, catch the boobs
on Miriam.

You catch them.

If she throws them, I'll catch them.
I'll be ready.

If those boobs come at me,
I'll be there to catch em.

Oh, Hermie, hi.
- Hi, there.

You're going to the movies?
- Yeah.

That's nice.
Good to see you.

Hey, she really
knows you.

Jesus, this is
embarrassing.

What?
- Her seeing me with that.

Hermie, excuse me. Do you think you
could come by my house Thursday afternoon?

I have some heavy things to move,
and I think I'll need some help.

Sure. Ok.
- Great.

Maybe Thursday morning
would be better.

About 10:00?
Is that all right?

Sure.
We'll have coffee.

Oh yes.
You like it black, right?

Yeah, right.

See you Thursday.
Enjoy the picture.

Hey, you're in.
- Shut up.

You're in boy.
I can't believe it.

She's mad about you.

Coffee at 10:00. Shit.
- Will you shut up?

I'm excited. I'm squeezing the crap
out of Miriam as soon the lights go out.

You're really something. You can't
even wait untill the cartoon is over.

I can't wait.
I can't wait.

Silly name, isn't it?

My father named me after
a professor he was fond of.

I was J.D. In college.
My wife calls me J. Duveaux.

But I'm Jerry to my friends.

Now, won't you tell me
who you are?

My name is Vale,
V-A-L-E.

On the passenger list, it will
be C. Vale, Boston. - Stop it.

Are you one of the Vales of Boston?
- One of the lesser ones.

Which one?
Is it miss or mrs.?

It's aunt. Every family
has one, you know.

But aunt what?

My name is Charlotte Vale.

Miss Charlotte Vale.

It was like
a miracle happening,

Like having your child.

Stop it!
- Alright, alright.

I even allowed myself to indulge in
the fantasy that both of us loving her...

would be doing what was
best for her together,

would make her seem actually
like our child, after a while.

I see no such fantasy
has occurred to you.

Again, I've been just
a big sentimental fool.

It's a tendency I have.

Wait a minute.

I was afraid you were
keeping Tina out of pity,

but there was no pity in
your ridicule of me just now.

Now, I know you
still love me.

And, it won't die,
what's between us.

Do what you will:
Ignore it, neglect it, starve it.

Stop it!
- Both of us together.

Please let me go.

Oh, Charlotte.

Please let me go.

Jerry...

Dr. Jackworth
knows about us.

When he said I could take Tina,
he said, "you're on probation."

Do you know
what that means?

It means that I'm on probation
because of you and me.

He allowed this visit
as a test.

If I can't
stand such tests,

I'll lose Tina,
and we'll lose each other.

Jerry, please help me.

Shall we just have
a cigarette on it?

Yes.

May I sometimes
come here?

Whenever you like.

It's your home, too.

The people here love you.

I look at you and Tina

And see everything
peace and contentment.

Of course. And just think
it won't be for this time only.

That is, if you'll
help me keep what we have.

We'll both try hard to protect
that little strip of territory that's ours.

We can talk about your child.
- Our child.

Thank you.

And will you be
happy, Charlotte?

Oh, Jerry, don't let's
ask for the moon.

We have the stars.

Where do you live?

That's not the point.

Let's go to the beach
and watch the surf roll in.

No, we really have to go.
- Ah, come on.

No. Maybe, we'll see
on the beach tomorrow?

Will you be on the beach tomorrow?
- I won't be on a mountain.

Then we'll see you.

Bye.

Yeah, bye.

Come on.

How'd you make out?
- Pretty good.

What did you do?
- I held her breast.

You didn't!
- For almost 11 minutes.

Fantastic!

11 full minutes.

You timed it.

Yeah.

The longest I ever got,
was eight minutes with Lila Harrison.

So you broke your record.
- By three minutes.

What did it feel like?

What do you mean, what it feel like?
It felt like a breast.

Didn't it feel like an arm?

An arm?
No, it felt like a breast.

Come on, I'll bet it felt like an arm.

Why the hell
should it feel like an arm?

Because it was
an arm.

What's the matter with you, asking?

You were feeling
her arm.

I was lucky. That's what I was
trying to tell you.

You were squeezing an arm
for 11 minutes, you schmuck!

So the eight-Minute record
with Lila Harrison still stands.

God damn it,
you're lying.

I wouldn't lie about
an arm, Hermie.

An arm.

Jesus, I was passing out,
and it was an arm.

Yeah...
a very lovely arm.

You're a son of a bitch!
- What?

Son of a bitch!
Why did you tell me?

Why didn't you let me
go on thinking it was a breast?

I thought you should know
the truth.

I thought you should know. So you
wouldn't make a mistake like that again.

You just wanted to ruin my
memory of it, you son of a bitch.

Hell! What do I care, if you spend
your whole life squeezing arms?

I just thought,
you ought to face reality...

Especially if you're putting a
clock on it and going for records.

I guess you're right.

Oh, God! How can I
ever face her again?

Make sure she's
wearing long sleeves.

Ha ha ha!
An arm.

An 11-minute arm.

Ha ha! An arm.
Oh, God.

Lila Harrison,
your record is safe!

Lila Harrison.
Oh, Jesus!

"Nothing is too heavy
when love is in the air."

"Laughter becomes you."

"Coffee is exquisite."

Exquisite?

Is that you, Hermie?
- It is I.

Come on in.
The door is open.

I'll be out
in a minute.

Why don't you
sit down?

I certainly will...

I shall.

Well...

Hi.

Hi.

We'll have the coffee
later, alright?

Yeah.

Ok.

Your coffee's
exquisite.

Thank you.

I hope it wasn't an inconvenience
for you to come by like this.

No, it's ok.

What's up there?

Dust.

Oh. May I see?

Sure.

Oh, there's lots of room.
We shouldn't have any trouble.

Right.
There's lots of dust up there.

Laughter becomes you.

I guess the best thing for me to do,
is to hand you the boxes, one at a time.

Don't you think?

Yeah, ok.

How are you doing?

Fine.

Hermie, what's wrong?
Are you alright?

Yeah.

Well, your leg
is shaking.

I don't think your
ladder is too good.

Do you want me
to hold it?

I think you better
hand me another box.

Oh.

Just two more.

That's it.
Come on down.

Good job.

Yeah.

This time you really must
let me give you some money.

No, I couldn't take any money.

But you have to. I couldn't possibly
have gotten those boxes up there myself.

It's ok. I like you.

That's very sweet
of you, Hermie.

I like you, too.

I mean, I don't like
many people.

Hermie!

Hey, Hermie!

Come on!

Come on, will you?
Hurry up.

Get up here.
Come on.

What happened?
- Ah, nothing.

What went on in there
all that time?

Nothing.
- Come on, try to remember. What happened?

Well,
the way it went,

We went in
and chatted.

Yeah.

Then I put the boxes
in the attic.

Then she kissed me.
- Kissed you?

Yeah. Right here.

See any lipstick?

Jesus, he's right.
Lipstick!

No. That's blood.
It's a mosquito bite.

No, that's lipstick.
That's definitely lipstick.

Oscy, I like her
kissing me, not you.

It's blood.
She's a God damn vampire.

As I left, I'm sure she asked
me to come back. Anytime.

You know, Hermie, I really
think you struck gold. I really do.

Benjie, we gonna need
the book again.

You gonna trust...
- You drooled all over it last time.

I don't wanna get blamed
for any warped pages.

My glasses for the book.

You'll have fun identifying
enemy aircraft over the island.

You'll be a hero.

Come on. Nothing flies
over this island except birds.

Maybe they're enemies.
- Jesus Christ. No go.

It's a fair swap.

What's more, you can have
the glasses for two days.

And what's more, if you don't,
I'll break your nose.

Come on.
Come on, Hermie!

In the name of America,
I award you these glasses.

Hey, Benjie,
come on.

Hurry up, hurry up.
Benjie, come on.

Come on, hurry up.

Wait.

Shh.

Come on.

And now
backstage wife,

The beloved story
of Mary Noble,

Now Mary Noble,
war wife,

As her husband Larry,
a former broadway star,

is now lieutenant Noble...

Ok, come on. Shh.

Somewhere in
the south pacific.

You'll recall that when
we last heard from Larry...

Were stranded
on an enemy infested island

After their rubber boat
had been wrecked...

Come on.

Mrs. Larson didn't.

She didn't,
but now she does.

Now she does
use Duz.

Mrs. Larson knows...

Duz does everything
in her wash.

She's convinced this new kind
of soap is best...

It even improved
her disposition.

She used to be a regular...

Watch that step!

Ok, ok.

You wouldn't dirty up
so many towels

If you had to
wash them.

And she'd tell
her daughter.

I know your rayon undies
don't look bright anymore...

Come on, come on.

But then mrs. Larson
discovered Duz...

Hermie, I just
cleaned in there.

God damn it.

Where's the paper?
- It's in the drawer.

Where's the carbon paper?

In there.

What are you doing?

I'm making two copies,
one for me and one for you.

Keep it with you
and learn it.

What for?

You can't call
on your lady with a book.

So I'm condensing it.
Point by point.

Just stay close to this.
You'll do ok.

Oscy, I'm troubled.

I think I have a deep
feeling for her.

So what?

I don't want just to lay her.
I respect her.

There's something
you have to understand.

It's alright to respect a lady,

but she's not gonna respect you,
if you don't try to lay her.

I don't believe that.

It's true.
My brother told me.

That's the way ladies are.

They want you to try,
even if they don't let you.

Because even though they don't
let you, they want you to.

I think
I understand.

Good. Then you
can start memorizing.

This is crazy.
- What?

Point 3.

What's crazy about it?

I've never
heard of the word.

Latin. The original
guys were Latins.

I wouldn't know
how to pronounce it.

Don't pronounce it,
you just do it.

I don't even know
where it is.

What the hell
is this in number 4?

That's Latin, too.
It's all in Latin, Hermie.

Oh yeah? Why may just have to ask
where some of these things are?

They're all approximately
in the same place.

"Seek and ye shall find."

Besides, she's supposed
to be helping you out.

I hope so, because I'm gonna need
all the help I can get.

Point 6, Hermie...
Very important.

Foreplay.

Right. That word
keeps cropping up.

I still don't know
what I'm supposed to do.

What do I say?
"How about a little foreplay?"

I told you. You don't have
to say a word. - Oh, yeah?

Point 2 definitely states
that we are supposed to converse.

When you get to point 6,
there's no more talking,

just moaning and sighing.

Just moan and sigh.

Well, she'll think I'm sick.

She'll be moaning
and sighing, too.

It's gonna get pretty noisy.

I got news on Miriam today.

One of the lifeguards told me.

Once she gets started,
she's supposed to really be something.

I'm home, Hermie.
- Ok.

If I follow these 12 points,
she just might have a kid.

I can't afford a kid at this stage
of my life. So the whole thing's off.

Hermie, you are
really dumb.

I may be dumb, but I
won't be a father.

Two wrongs,
don't make a right.

Use protection.
Use a rubber.

Haven't you ever
heard of a rubber?

Of course I have.

All right, so that's
what you'll use.

I have mine.

When my brother went into
the service, he willed it to me.

I've been carrying it
around with me ever since.

It's my lucky charm.

How much do you want for it?
- Hey, it's from my brother.

It's a family heirloom.

You have to get your own.
Go to the drugstore.

I'm not gonna risk it.
I happen to be underage.

Also, for your information,
women shop in drugstores.

So where do you wanna get
them? A sporting goods store?

If you were a really good
friend, you'd lend me yours.

What?

I'll return it.

I'm beginning to think
maybe you're a homo.

Swell, Oscy.
Thanks a lot.

No, I mean, you
don't know anything.

A rubber is to be used once, and only once,
and only by one party.

Not even best friends can
go halfsies on a rubber.

Just forget the
whole damn thing.

I'm doing this for you.

I'm doing this out of friendship
because... well, your time has come.

Yeah?
Just forget it!

I can't.
It's all arranged.

What's arranged?

The marshmallow roast
on the beach tonight.

Me and Miriam,
and you and Aggie.

Don't try to get out of it.
It's all set.

Here are
your instructions.

I'm not interested
in Aggie.

You're not ready
for the older lady.

I have to sharpen you up
on someone else.

Aggie is all I got.

Oscy,
you're really crazy.

Yeah, I'm crazy mad! Wow!
- Shh.

Sorry. Hey, listen.

I'm not asking you
to go all the way to point 12.

Cause I don't
believe in miracles.

I'll be happy
if you get to point 2.

All I want you to do
is give it a try.

Forget it. I'm not sticking
my neck out for Aggie.

Listen, tomorrow morning
you'll thank me.

So tonight, I'll bring
the marshmallows,

and you bring a rubber.

Hey, go on.

Alright.

Well, go on.
Come on.

Get in there.

Go on, Hermie.

Anything else?

Oh, yes. A bottle
of Cod liver oil.

Oh, ma.

Shut up.
It's good for you.

$2.18. Thank you.
Come again.

Move.
- Alright, alright.

Move already.

Can I help you?

No, no.
Just looking.

Did you get them?

Not yet.
- Well, go get them.

There's a lady in there.
- Oh.

Ok, get going.
- Ok.

Go on.
- Right.

Go!

Go on!

Yes?

It's me, the same
guy as before.

I just stepped outside
for some air.

Just what is it
you're looking for?

Maybe I
can help you.

I'll know
when I find it.

Maybe if you tell me
what it is.

I'll tell you.
I just remembered.

Well?

A strawberry
ice cream cone.

Alright.
Come with me.

One dip or two?

Better make it
a triple.

Alright.

That'll be 10 cents.

There's something
else I need.

I just remembered.

Well, what is it?

Sprinkles.

Alright.

Sprinkles.

Here you go.

Thanks a lot.

That will cost you
12 cents.

Is there
something else?

Well, I hate
to bother you,

but, uh...

Speak up, son.

How about
a napkin?

Alright.

Anything else?

How about
some rubbers?

Pardon?

I understand
that you carry them.

Carry what?

Oh, come on.
You know what.

Contraceptives.

Yeah! Right!

And you wanna buy some.

Yeah.

What for?

Come on.
You know what for.

Alright.

What brand?

Brand?
- Brand and style.

The usual.

There's a number
to choose from.

Do you have to
flash them around?

Which is your usual?

The blue ones.

How many
would you like?

Three dozen.

You're planning
a big night?

Just the usual.

That will
be $12.

$12?
- And 12 cents for the ice cream.

How much
just for a dozen?

$4.00.

And how many
for $1.00?

Three.

I'll take two.

They come three
to a package.

Can I just owe you
for the ice cream cone, then?

Alright now,
son.

Fun is fun,
but how old are you?

16.

How old?

On my next birthday.

What are you planning
to do with these?

They're for my brother.
He's older.

Why can't he come in
and get them for himself?

Well, he's sick.

Then what does he
need them for?

For when
he's feeling better.

He's a ranger.
- Oh.

Do you know what
these are used for?

Sure. You fill them up with water,
and then you throw them off the roof.

I just want to make sure
you knew what they are for.

Of course, I know.

My brother wouldn't send me and to buy
them without telling me what they are for.

We'll call it $1.00 even,
including the ice cream.

Ok!

Thank you!

Hi, Hermie.

Hi, Aggie.

I had a very nice time
at the movie.

I'm sorry if I was
rough on your arm.

That's alright.

Is it healing well?

It's ok, really.

I'm looking forward
to tonight.

Oscy's outside. He's
bringing the marshmallows.

Yeah. I saw him.
What are you bringing?

I'll... I'll see you
later, Aggie, ok?

Tonight. Bye.
- Bye.

Can I toast you another
tasty marshmallow?

If you like, but shouldn't we
save a few for Oscy and Miriam?

We may never
see them again.

They seem to be
getting along very well.

Yes.
They're very friendly.

Hermie!

Hermie!

Psst!
Hermie!

Would you excuse me for a moment, please?
- Sure.

Thank you.

Let me see
your notes.

Mine are all sweaty.

Come on. Now come on.
Fork over.

What number are you up to?
- 6.

6! 6 is foreplay!
You're up to 6?

Yeah. That crazy
Miriam, she's up to 9!

You're kidding!

No, I'm not kidding.
She's ruining my timing.

Mm-Hmm.

Jesus christ!

How are you doing
with Aggie?

Well, we're up to the marshmallows...
- No time. I got to go.

That was Oscy.

Yes.

Feel like another marshmallow?
- What's that paper?

This?

Uh, it's a map.

A buried treasure.

Yeah. Yeah,
I think so.

Can I see it?

Why don't you just have
another marshmallow?

Alright.

Hermie!

Hermie!

Would you
excuse me again?

Yes.

You're very kind.

What?
- Give me a rubber.

What happened to your heirloom?
- It was spoiled.

I guess they
don't keep.

Come on.
For pete's sake!

Come on.
It's cold.

Don't you even
say thank you?

Thank you, Hermie.

Why did Miriam
say thank you?

Because
she's a lady.

Oh, I see.

See what?

Pardon?

You said you saw.
What did you see?

Oh, actually nothing.

Then don't say you see,
when you don't. Ok?

Ok.

Psst!

I need a rubber.

I need a breather.

I also need
another rubber.

Did you get
to point 12 yet?

12?

Hermie, we're
so far past 12.

But that's as far
as the book goes.

What's after 12?

Well...
there's 13...

And 14...

And 15...

Hermie, you have
no idea.

And 16...

And 17 and 18.

I think Miriam and I
should be getting home now.

Yeah. Ok. I'll take you.
Come on.

I think I'd better get Miriam.

Hey, Aggie!
Now I don't think so.

Aggie,
I'll take you home.

Hi.

Oh, Hermie, hi.

How have you been?

Fine, thank you.
And you?

Pretty good.
- Good.

Mmm, what
a beautiful morning!

Should be
a really nice day.

Yeah.

How are the boxes we put away?
Any trouble?

No. They're fine.
They're still up there.

I think
they'll be alright.

I'd ask you to the movies,
but it's the same picture.

Like to see it
again?

Oh, no.
No thanks.

I don't blame you.

Once you know the ending,
it kills the thrill.

The tide is coming in.

Yeah, so it is.

Have any other heavy objects
you want moved?

Oh, no.
None that occur to me.

Well, if you can
think of any, feel free.

Alright, I will.
Thank you.

Will you be
at home tonight?

Pardon?

I thought
I might drop by.

I have to be
in the neighborhood.

Feel free
to drop by.

I'm not saying
I can come for sure.

Don't plan on it.

No.

Getting late.

I've got to get to the post office
and get these letters off.

I'll run them down
for you.

No, thanks. It's tricky postage.
Overseas and all.

Thanks anyway.

Hello!

I don't even
know your name.

Oh, Dorothy.

I had a cat
named Dorothy.

It got hit
by a truck.

Bye!

Hi.

You know what?

What?

It's all over.

What?

Me and Miriam.

What happened?

I'm embarrassed
to tell you.

Then don't tell me.

You won't
believe it.

After last night,
I'll believe anything.

No. It's not
what you think.

Look, Oscy.
I'm in kind of a hurry.

We had an argument
this afternoon.

I went over to her house to
apologize.

She's got
appendicitis.

Took her over
to the mainland.

Hope they
leave her there.

I hope they don't
cut up her boobs.

I don't think
the scar goes that far.

She told me she's
breaking our date.

The next thing
I know, appendicitis.

She goes
to extremes.

They loaded her on the
speedboat on a stretcher.

Maybe it's all
for the better.

How can you say
such a dumb thing?

Because I'm not
really interested.

Bullshit.
You're interested.

You took a long look
at us last night.

We knew you were looking.

I only
caught a glimpse.

Will you shut up Oscy.

I don't want to hear
your dirty details.

You don't want me
to tell you?

I don't wanna
hear about it.

I was gonna tell you everything.

Don't.

When you want to hear,
I won't tell you.

Good.

Something's wrong with you.
You're not normal.

Good.

Going to her house?
- Screw you.

Got your
instructions handy?

It's not gonna be
that kind of an evening

You wouldn't understand it,
because you're so crass.

Crass? What the hell
is crass?

Just leave me alone.

What the hell
are you so mad about?

I don't know!

Got your
rubbers?

You're a regular
comedian.

You know what?
I'm sorry I tried to help you.

That makes
two of us.

I gave you my binoculars
to get you educated.

Your words getting out on you, Hermie.
You're a homo.

If you don't cut it out,
you're gonna get a fat lip!

Homo!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Dorothy,
it's Hermie,

Hermie
from the beach.

Hi, Hermie.

Hi.

I don't look
very nice, do I?

I think you do.

I think I don't.

I'm sorry.

Good night, Hermie.

Good night.

Miriam pulled through.

I talked to her mother
this morning.

Jesus. They didn't
even operate.

They froze her.

I'm relieved
about it.

She's through
for the summer.

Won't be back
on the island again.

My first lay...
gone with the wind.

Hey, have you seen
Benjie anywhere?

That rat
still has my glasses.

Hey, you know,
you shouldn't feel so bad,

no matter
what happened.

And you don't have
to tell me.

But if you wanna tell me,
you can.

But you don't have to,
unless you want to.

Sometimes life is
one big pain in the ass.

Hey, I thought, maybe we'd attack
the coast guard station tonight.

You know,
give them a scare?

"Dear Hermie,
I must go home now.

"I'm sure you'll understand.

"There's much I have to do.

"I won't try and explain
what happened last night

"because I know that,
in time,

"you'll find a proper way
in which to remember it.

"What I will do,
is remember you,

"and I pray that you be spared
all senseless tragedies.

"I wish you good things,
Hermie,

"only good things.

Always, Dorothy."

I was never
to see her again,

nor was I ever to learn
what became of her.

We were different then.

Kids were different.

It took us longer to understand
the things we felt.

Life is made up of small
comings and goings

and for everything
we take with us,

there is something
that we leave behind.

In the summer of '42,

we raided the coast guard
station four times.

We saw five movies
and had nine days of rain.

Benjie broke his watch,
Oscy gave up the harmonica,

and in a very special way

I lost Hermie... forever.
