The Boys Club (1996)

Eric : This is rash. This is the rashest thing that's ever happened to us before.

Kyle : Right, what are we even talking about this for?

Brad : Why don't we just go home?

Eric : The guy's a fucking fugitive, man.

Brad : Great, I hate this, you realize that?

[Eric breaks a stick with his knee and throws it into the woods]

Eric : What? Who do you hate?

Brad : Yeah, hilarious. The guy said it was the police that are after him. So why don't we just not do this, okay? Are you even listening to me?

Eric : No.

Kyle : Look at this thing.

[Kyle, Brad and Eric see a old car]

Brad : What does this say about him? I guess he was a little disappointed.

Kyle : C'mon, he's a cop, Brad, we gotta help him.

Brad : We don't- we don't even know the guy, I mean, there might be accomplices. Kyle, the guy's been shot. He needs real medical attention, I mean we could have a real doctor go down there and no one would know the difference.

Eric : What? Look, you heard what he said, right? The only thing he's got is us. Us three, our shack, our fucking shit, okay? All right? Let's go Kyle.

[Kyle taps his hands on the back of the trunk of the car]

Eric : What? Look, you heard what he said, right? The only thing he's got is us. Us three, our shack, our fucking shit, okay? All right? Let's go Kyle.

[Kyle taps his hands on the back of the trunk of the car]

Eric : One, two, three.

[They start to push the car, but Brad stops]

Kyle : This doesn't have to be a big deal, Brad. We push the car, so what?

Eric : [shouting to Brad] Here we go, Bradley! Are you in or are you out? Huh?

Brad : [shouting back] Of what?

Kyle : Hey, Luke? Don't worry. It's me, Kyle.

Luke : I'm up here, kid.

[Kyle climbs up the stairs, Luke starts looking over Kyle's papers]

Luke : It says here to take the test again.

Kyle : Yeah, I don't know why I came here.

Luke : For guidance. It's all right, I need guidance on how to get to a phone without walking. You want to be a pilot, I can't help you with that.

[Luke lights a ciggerette]

Kyle : I know that, obviously.

Luke : Listen to me, no one cares. You're friends, they don't care. They're good guys, but they really don't care if you're a pilot. Your school they don't care, your family, it sounds like they want you to fail, so why care about them, why care what they think?

Kyle : I don't know.

Luke : No one cared about me when I grew up, I can tell you that. You know what I learned about the world? You do unto others, you eat what you kill and that's what life is.

Kyle : You're not a cop are you?

Luke : Your friends say that?

Kyle : No, no one just... just me kinda.

Luke : Okay, listen, this is hard trusting you with this.

Kyle : You're running from police?

Luke : I can't give you details, but I don't deserve to get gunned down. Not for this. You have no reason to trust me but trust me anyway, Kyle.

Kyle : I'm here, I guess that means I trust you.

Luke : Your friends don't have to know about this. When I'm gone, go ahead and tell 'em. You can have a big laugh.

Kyle : Yeah, but they're good guys.

Luke : You can't expect things from people, Kyle. You care about being a pilot, if you do, if you want something, you just take it, and then it's yours. That's it. That's it. You already got the jacket for it.

[Kyle scoffs]

Kyle : [after Megan runs out of the clubhouse because Luke tried to sexually intimidate her] Megan!

Megan : Get away from me!

Kyle : Megan, stop please!

Megan : Go back to your pig friends, Kyle!

Kyle : Look, I'm so sorry, I don't know how...

Megan : You just stood there! You didn't do anything! I should call the cops for that!

Kyle : No, no, no! You can't call the cops! I know we deserve it!

Megan : You know what? Hell, my friends were right about you. You're a big loser like your whole family!

Kyle : [Kyle gasps] Megan! I don't know what that was! I...

Megan : Fuck off, Kyle!

Kyle : [shouting to Eric, Brad and Luke] You guys happy now?

Kyle : Dad?

Kyle's Dad : Yeah?

Kyle : Are you mad?

Kyle's Dad : Why? Why would I be mad? Just because I came home and the grass and the grass isn't cut, and you haven't picked up, or done anything you said you'd do? I should be mad?

Kyle : I'm sorry, I'm gonna do it.

Kyle's Dad : Okay.

Kyle : Has Jake been home?

Kyle's Dad : Of course not.

[Kyle is shuffling through the mail]

Kyle's Dad : What are you looking at?

Kyle : The mail. Did anything come?

Kyle's Dad : Like what?

Kyle : Dad, the test results, whether I got in. It's coming any day.

Kyle's Dad : Starting line pilot exam.

Kyle : [scoffs] Yeah, maybe.

Kyle's Dad : Ya know, I pull a double down at the hanger and I come home and I see that none of ya's has even picked up, uh, even a finger to help me out here but that's okay, I'm used to that. But unless your school takes Monopoly money, you're working for me this summer, boy. You want to lean about uh, airplanes? I'll teach ya about airplanes. You can start with the engines.

Kyle : Dad, what if I get a bursary?

Kyle's Dad : What if you get a bursary? So what? What? There's no competition? It's just you?

Kyle : I'd just thought I'd try, whatever.

Kyle's Dad : Yeah, whatever, yeah, well, I just want you to try to be realistic. Sometimes I don't think you're too realistic.

Kyle : [scoffs] Well, then I guess it's time for bed, huh, Dad?

Jake : [Jake drives up in his car] Beep Beep. You going home?

[he lights a cigarette]

Kyle : Dickhead friend ripped us off. Tell him to give us our booze back.

Jake : Simon, give these children their alcoholic beverages back.

Simon : Catch, boys.

[Simon throws the beer over the car, it hits the ground and shatters]

Jake : I did my part. Listen, tell daddy I'm not gonna be home for dinner, because uh, he's on the rag. Okay?

Kyle : Yeah, well, I'm not going home either.

Jake : Whatever. That's a good idea.

[Jake puts his fist out for Kyle to fist-bump him, to which Kyle responds, Jake then gives Kyle a thumbs up and gun fire sign, blowing into his top finger as if it were smoke]

Jake : Let's motor.

Kyle's Dad : [He stops the car] Well, what's your problem?

Kyle : Guess what? Congratulate me.

Kyle's Dad : [scoffs] We've talked about that about twenty times, didn't we?

Kyle : Wrong. They didn't accept me. But you didn't know that, did you? Cause you didn't even read it, did you?

Kyle's Dad : But, Kyle, I just didn't want you to be disappointed, there son ya know?

Kyle : Oh, Jesus, thank you fucking so much, thank you!

Kyle's Dad : [points to Kyle] Be careful, mister.

Kyle : You were so sure eh, Dad? I almost got in.

[Jake comes out of the house and slides down the hill]

Kyle : They want me to take the test again. Guess that never happened to you, huh?

Kyle's Dad : [Kyle leaves to go back inside the house] Kyle? Arrogant little...

[he grumbls and gets out of the car]

Jake : [Kyle is on his bike and starts to peddle] Ya know, you're like a professional fucking asshole.

[Kyle gets on his bike and takes off]

Kyle's Dad : Kyle, come back. Kyle!

Jake : Just keep on going, Kyle!

Kyle's Dad : While he does that, you get roughed up a little bit, is that okay?

Jake : You big man? You gonna shove me around? Huh, c'mon, you think I fucking care?

Kyle's Dad : Oh, what?

Jake : [Jake imitates Bruce Lee] C'mon! Lets go!

[Jake mitates Bruce Lee again, and Kyle's Dad shoves him to the ground]

Eric : No, he's a fucking cheese sandwich. I mean, he sucks about this, he sucks about that, he sucks about everything! And now the bullets. Luke can't even protect himself.

Kyle : He isn't a cop, eh? Yeah, he told me.

Eric : What?

Kyle : Don't tell Brad.

Eric : He told you?

[They see a cop car at Eric's house]

Eric : [muttering] Oh, we're in shit.

Eric's Father : Eric, come over here please?

Officer Cole : You too sir?

Eric : Dead, we're dead, we're definitely dead, we're dead, we're dead.

Kyle : Okay, what are we gonna do?

Eric : We're gonna say it was as stupid as hell, right?

Brad : Kyle! Kyle, I am not going back there!

Eric : Kyle! The fuck happened? Where's the fucking car?

Brad : Shut up! Kyle, are you okay?

Kyle : Yeah.

Eric : We're getting a car! My mom's car! We'll get my mom's car!

Brad : Shut up!

Kyle : We'll fucking get my mom's car!

Brad : Kyle!

Eric : [to Brad] He's gonna kill him, asshole!

Brad : Yeah? He's gonna kill all of us, asshole! Do you understand?

Kyle : Guys, I'm just trying to think, okay?

Eric : You weren't there! He fuckin' shot 'em!

Kyle : [Yelling] Guys, I'm trying to think, okay?

Eric : What the fuck? What the fuck is happening?

Brad : That's it! I'm calling 911. We're getting the cops in here-

[Eric grabs Brad]

Brad : and I'm...

Eric : You fucking think he wants to hear that? Huh? You think he wants to hear that? You don't care if his brother dies,

[Eric pushes Brad away]

Eric : do you?

Brad : I'm not the one who brought the bullets now, did I? Fucking punk!

[Eric and Brad fight on the ground, and Eric grabs Brad, by the collar of his jacket]

Brad : [to Eric] You are a very average, boring stupid guy! With a big mouth and I don't respect you and I never have.

Eric : Fuck you, you little asshole! You think I respect you?

[Eric kicks Brad]

Kyle : [yelling] Stop it, okay? Just forget it!

[Eric kicks Brad again]

Kyle : Guys! Stop it!

Brad : [to Eric] Fuck you!

Kyle : Just don't do anything. I gotta go s-see my dad, okay?

Eric : Fucking pansy.

Brad : Shut the fuck up.

[Brad spits on the ground]

Kyle : Your old man has a gun?

Brad : Eric...

Eric : Yeah, he's got a box of em' in the closet!

Brad : Why does somebody ask for bullets? To shoot bullets. At what? People. Like, what are we? Five?

Eric : [sarcastically] He's a cop, smart guy. I mean he's gotta have some

[Brad scoffs]

Eric : sort of protection.

Brad : So we have to get involved in it? Look, If anybody gets hurt now, it's because of us. Or you two, because I'm out of this.

Kyle : Wait! We'll- we'll just tell him we couldn't get it.

Eric : What? All right fine, okay, I- I don't even care anymore.

Brad : Eric, I'm right this time.

Kyle : Simon, over here!

Eric : Kyle, what's he-?

Kyle : Simon, you got it right?

[referring to the beer]

Simon : Yes, thank you.

Eric : Oh, big surprise. He's taking it from...

Kyle : Oh, c'mon don't be an asshole, just give us our booze!

Simon : [scoffs] What are you gonna do about it huh? You gonna fight me for it? Huh? You wanna come and get it, I'll give it to you huh? Come and get it!

[Simon pushes Kyle]

Simon : C'mon!

[Talking to Brad]

Simon : What about you? What are you gonna do about it?

Brad : [Mutters to Kyle and Eric] Let's go.

Kyle : [Kyle picks up the gun and points it at Luke] Look who's in charge now! See how this works, you motherfucker?

Eric : Guys!

Kyle : Not so fucking tough anymore are ya?

Eric : Kyle, Kyle, Kyle! C'mon! Kyle!

Kyle : [to Luke] Look at me! That's what a gun's all about, you filthy fuck!

Eric : [softly] Kyle, c'mon, Kyle.

Luke : So what? Use it.

Eric : [to Kyle] Don't do it, man. Kyle.

Luke : Use it.

Eric : Come on, Brad.

Brad : Kyle, Don't do this, man. Kyle.

Luke : Now at this point, do I wanna shoot anybody?

Brad : No.

Luke : No, we're just sitting around talking. So why have a loaded and cocked gun? So, I push this and out pops the cylinder.

Kyle : Then you use the ejector rod, right?

Luke : Very good, the ejector rod. But the most important thing I wanna teach you boys, is that you never, *ever* point a gun at *anyone* or yourself even if you think it's unloaded, you don't look don't the barrel when your cleaning it, you just don't do it. But for me, it's a little different.

[Luke cocks the gun and points it to his head]

Luke : I'll do it. Cause I *know* that there is no bullets in this gun. I just know it. What are they gonna do? Pop into the gun out of nowhere, just by fucking magic? No, so I'm not scared. Because it's bullshit.

[Luke pulls the trigger, the gun doesn't go off, and Luke smiles]

Luke : Because it's an empty gun. Now, that's an example of what not to do. I did it this once to prove a point. It seems irresponsible.

Brad : Cool.

Luke : [Luke gives the gun to the three boys as they play with it] Stuff it. I wasn't always a cop. When I was your age, I was a crusty little so-and-so. When we wanted something, we didn't tell anyone. We just used to steal it.

Luke : [Luke is talking on Kyle's Dad's phone] I know where I am. What are you telling me? Kyle, come out here for a second! What? That was a long time ago! Oh, give a break!

[Kyle comes out of the clubhouse]

Luke : Wait a second.

Luke : [to Kyle who is now outside] I'm thinking tonight. Can you help me?

Kyle : Yeah, sure.

[Luke motions for Kyle to go back inside]

Eric : [Inside the clubhouse] It had to look like a break in, Brad. I mean what was he supposed to do?

Brad : Yeah, but your own dad's car?

Eric : Oh, fuss...

Kyle : So- whats your point?

Brad : I don't know, its just- it's weird. It's something Jake would do.

Kyle : Jake didn't do it, I did it! He pissed me off. Fuck off, Brad. I don't care!

Eric : Hey, hey, hey, relax, okay, guys? All right?

Luke : [Luke is outside talking on the phone distantly] I've had a radio all day, I haven't heard it. Oh, fuck you. Wait, the battery. Can you hear me? Okay, fuck you. Now you hear me clear that time? Listen, your cutting off, Betty? Betty? Hello?

[Luke starts banging the phone on a old tire wheel]

Luke : Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Brad : [to Kyle] He just trashed your dad's phone. I'm not kidding, about ten times.

Luke : [Luke comes inside the clubhouse] Uh, sorry, this, things uh, busted. You boys stay out late tonight? Just get me to the road. I can't stay here.

Kyle : No problem.

Luke : And a road map. Gotta swipe a car. This is it, boys.

Luke : What are you doing?

Megan : What?

Luke : Go ahead.

Megan : Oh, you mean ta- yeah. Yeah, right.

Luke : We've outlined the rules. Very specifically. Women have to take off their tops. Right, boys?

Megan : That's uh, pretty funny.

Eric : Go ahead.

Luke : Turn down the music, Brad.

Brad : [worried] Why?

Luke : Brad.

[Brad turns down the music]

Megan : Okay, hold on, are you some kind of pervert or something?

Kyle : [nervously chuckles] Kay, lets say we talk about something else, eh, guys?

Megan : No, you know what Kyle? I think I'd better go, okay? I'm just gonna go.

Kyle : Luke, c'mon, she's my friend!

Luke : [to Megan] Sit down. Look at me, Megan. Look at me. Do you see how I'm not laughing?

Megan : Okay, um, what- what the hell's going on here?

Luke : Well, what's going on is we're gonna have a little show and you're the entertainment. Take off you're uh, top. Follow the rules.

Megan : Okay, um, are you guys just gonna sit there?

Luke : Yeah, they're just gonna sit there. They're waiting. Megan!

Kyle : C'mon, man!

Luke : You're gonna learn to like this.

[Megan slowly unbuttons her top]

Luke : Have you seen this before, Kyle? Huh? Now's you're chance. C'mon! Take it off! Take off that last button!

Kyle : C'mon, man!

Luke : That's a good girl, Megan. Isn't she a good girl, boys?

[Luke laughs and Megan runs out of the clubhouse]

Kyle : What the hell are you, man? Big secret fucking hiding place here!

[Kyle throws the news article about Luke]

Kyle : It's a fucking nightmare!

[Kyle goes out of the clubhouse to chase after Megan]

Kyle : [Jake is watching a music video on television and Kyle comes in with an ashtray] Dad, home?

Jake : [he peers over and laughs] You smoking, you asshole?

Kyle : Just started, quitting now.

Jake : You better bury those ashes deeper; Dad will find 'em.

[Kyle goes to dump the ashtray into the garbage can but finds the pilot acceptance letter in the garbage, he opens the letter and reads to himself, he then he goes over to Jake and stands in front of the television]

Jake : What? Move, fag.

Kyle : [he holds up the acceptance letter] What's this? It was in the garbage.

Jake : Hey, is that your pilot school thing? Hey, don't look at me, I didn't do it.

[Kyle notices his dad driving up and leaves]

Jake : Hey, hey, hey! They didn't take ya?

Eric : Yeah but after, I mean the getting shot part. Oh, here.

[Eric lights Luke's cigarette]

Luke : That I don't know. It happened so fast. I'm with this dealer guy, right? I'm shaking him upside-down, shaking the change out of his pockets. You see my friend, Bruce, ya know he's a Sargent, he's my boss. Well, he looks at me, so I smile. Then he pulls his .38 out of his pocket. Ping! That's I guess the mechanics of it.

Kyle : So- so, how'd you get away?

Luke : Through the window. I fell out. Funny, isn't it? I start shooting back, missing everything, Bruce's coming out, he's gonna do the same thing again. Then I see this cab on the curb just sitting there so I jump in.

Eric : No way!

Luke : I got a few days on him anyway. But this pain is real. I tell ya.

Eric : Um, do you need painkillers?

Luke : And booze. Can you guys get rid of a car?

Kyle : [scoffs] Sorry.

Luke : How old are you anyway?

Kyle : Fourteen.

Eric : So?

Luke : It's just off the road, it's in a ditch. It's broken. It's just sitting there. Push it down a hill so nobody sees it.

Kyle : Sure, I guess.

Luke : Well, then do that. Don't make a mistake, this is hairy. You guys might not want to come back and that's fine. But just tell me no one knows about this place.

Eric : Just us.

Luke : Okay, okay. I don't know if you've ever been in a real situation, but this is one of them. All I got right now is you guys. I need you to keep your mouth shut. You're fourteen, that's young. Have you learned to do that yet? Bunch of bored kids, huh?

Eric's Mother : Hi Eric! Back from the library?

Eric : Hi, Mom.

Kyle : [whispering to Eric] Catching up on some school, Eric?

Eric : [whispering back] Yeah, well, what she doesn't know can't get us in a lot of shit!

Eric's Mother : [to Eric] Study hard?

Eric : Yeah! Chemistry is really fascinating, Mom.

Eric's Mother : We're proud of you, honey.

[Eric nervously laughs]

Eric : [after pushing the car into a tree] Oh, man, oh look at it.

Eric : Isn't too shitty.

Kyle : Oh, man.

[he gives Eric a high five]

Eric : Why so hard?

Kyle : [after splashing Luke with water] It just pisses me off, that's all.

Luke : Why, do you respect the guy?

Kyle : Who?

Luke : The dick headed guy, Simon. Do you respect him? For stiffing ya?

Eric : No.

Luke : Then what do you care? That's what he wanted and that's what he didn't get. Forget all that. I got problems of my own. I miss my girlfriend. Right? Right, Brad?

Brad : Yeah.

Luke : Well, there I am, alone in the shack, middle of the night, missing my girlfriend, with all those naked girls you guys got pinned up all over the walls. So off I go, maybe it'll help me sleep. The problem, something must connect your dick to your thigh. Does anybody know about this?

Eric : Brad

[Eric laughs]

Eric : .

Luke : Well, it hurts my leg so bad, I've got to stop. I'm talking about my health, boys.

[Brad, Kyle and Eric chuckle]

Luke : Sorry.

Eric : No, that's okay.

Brad : Yeah, it's cool.

Luke : Everybody does it, it's good for the country. Especially your age when girls are illegal. It's like they're fucking paid not to like it. You see them in the hallways with their new cosmetics. Where do you think they get the money?

Eric : Kyle, what are you thinking about, man?

Kyle : What? I'm just listening.

Eric : C'mon, c'mon, what are you thinking about?

Brad : C'mon, Kyle.

Eric : Yeah! There you go!

[he chuckles]

Luke : A girl? She's cute. I got ESP. I see her face in the river. Did you tell her you're a pilot? Might help.

Eric : Hey, we shouldn't stay out in the open, should we? I mean cause...

Luke : If I can't fix things, I'll be living in the open.

Kyle : When you leave?

Luke : When I leave, I got an empty gun. I'm the type of guy I like to have a solution to the problems when they come up. You understand what I mean? Hit me.

[Eric pours water on Luke]

Brad : So what do you say we start talking about the plans?

Luke : Yeah, pretty soon.

Eric : I brought the bullets.

Luke : You're a good man, Eric!

[he takes a sip of whisky and he chuckles]

Luke : Now, here's to the wind at my back, it's gonna be hairy but, I'm sick of this hiding shit.

[Megan is outside and knocks on the door to the clubhouse]

Megan : Kyle? Hello? Kyle?

Eric : Oh, Kyle.

Kyle : Megan?

Luke : [to Kyle] Get the fuck up.

Kyle : Hang on, I'll come out.

[he gets up]

Luke : Hold on,

[Luke grabs Kyle's arm]

Luke : let her in. She's already here, right?

Megan : [Kyle opens the door] Um, hi. Um,

[she sees Luke]

Megan : oooh, um, sorry, maybe this isn't such a good idea. Maybe I should just go.

Kyle : No, no, no. Come on in, stay for a while.

Megan : Yeah.

Luke : Yeah, come on in, welcome have a seat.

Kyle : Thanks.

Eric : Hi, Megan,

Megan : Hey, Eric.

Eric : This is my uncle from Michigan. Weird, huh?

Luke : Luke, nice to meet ya.

Megan : Nice to meet you too. Um, Kyle, didn't, like, tell me to to come here or anything. I'm just kind of crashing it. Hey, you're Brad, right?

Brad : Yeah, actually we met, when...

Kyle : [Interrupting] So what do you think?

Megan : What do I *think*? Um, do you really wanna know?

[Brad laughs]

Kyle : Just being a smart ass.

Luke : Just being a smart ass. Yeah, well everybody's a smart ass every now and then. We won't hold it against ya Megan. Hey, guys, I mean to not cause any trouble but, since when do we let women in here?

Eric : [Eric laughs] Good point!

Megan : I don't know, those girls on the wall there, they seem welcome enough.

Luke : They're different. Look what they're wearing.

Eric : Yep! No women. Unless those women are wearing no tops.

Megan : Eric, that's *so* mature.

Eric : Actually, Megan, that's the rules. Right, guys?

Luke : Those are the rules.

Megan : Well, If those are the rules, guess I better follow the rules eh?

Eric : Now we're talking! Take it off!

Megan : [Megan teases them by lifting her shirt then quickly putting it back down] Woah!

Brad : I actually thought she was gonna do that.

Megan : Yeah, you know what? That's because you're drunk, and whoa, whoa, so am I. I just shouldn't have gotten up like that.

Luke : [after Kyle reenters the clubhouse, he sees Eric on the ground and Brad next to him] Where is she? Your friend caught me.

Kyle : [mumbling] Luke, what?

Luke : Fuck! Eric,

[Luke walks on top of the newspaper article about him]

Luke : You're face is all bloody. What's your mom and dad gonna say?

Kyle : Luke, It's okay, man.

Brad : Just don't hurt us, please.

[Luke grabs Brad roughly]

Luke : Fuck! Now I gotta kill him! You had to bring that girl here! You had to bring the little girl here! Eric, you're not going anywhere, buddy, you're staying right there. You two, get a fucking car! Do it now! Do it!

Kyle : Luke, man.

Luke : You messed up. You really messed up, son. You talked to that girl, and Kyle, if you call the police, I'll kill him. You hearing me?

Kyle : Yeah, I hear ya.

Luke : It's weird, don't take long do it?

[Luke gets out the handcuffs]

Eric : Oh, Luke, no.

Kyle : It's okay, Eric, don't worry, man.

[Luke grabs Eric from off the ground]

Kyle : Ow, fuck, ow. Kyle, Please!

Luke : Go! Get the car!

Eric : Kyle.

Luke : Is that your brother? He came here to burn the shack down. Nice, eh? Put your hands up.

[Kyle puts his hands up]

Luke : Listen to me, Kyle. He's in shock. And I don't know what's going to happen. I'm not a fucking doctor. I said I wanted a car. And Jake's going to bleed until I get one. And I want all you back here when you do it.

[Brad scoffs]

Kyle : Why?

Luke : Because I said so.

Jake : [weakly] Help me, Kyle. Help me. Help me.

Luke : This is a lot worse now, Kyle. Cops would be really bad, for me, and for your brother. Now go on, get out of here.

Luke : You may have more then one chance at this, so think really hard.

[Luke takes the bullets out of the gun and puts one in the chamber and spins it and then reloads it, he points the gun at Jake's head and Jake starts screaming hysterically, as Kyle looks onward]

Kyle : Yes!

[Luke pulls the trigger on the gun but it doesent go off]

Kyle : Fucker, they're bringing the car!

Kyle : Dad.

Kyle's Dad : Give me a break, I'm on my vacation. Don't look at me like that. Oh, here, look you got some mail.

[Kyle opens it]

Kyle's Dad : I guess you got in.

Kyle : Nothing. I need help. I don't know what to do.

Kyle's Dad : I've been thinking, ya know, I'm going to kick the prick out. That's it. I can't even stand looking at his face anymore. That's it. I mean you, you're not that bad, you uh, show some promise or something anyway, but that kid is nothing but a zero. Maybe if your mother was still around. I don't know. Oh forget it. I- I got to go to bed. I got some kind of virus, I think. I hope you don't need money.

Kyle : No. No, I don't need money.

Kyle : Eric, you can get your dad's gun, right?

Eric : What? Yeah, sure, I- I can get it.

Brad : Whoa,

[stammering]

Brad : what- what about your dad?

Kyle : Don't just say it. Don't say it to me unless you're going to do it.

Eric : Yeah, I'll do it.

Kyle : Good.

[Brad scoffs]

Kyle : I gotta go there. See, I'm worried about Jake. I wanna see him.

Brad : Shut up, okay?

Eric : He's going to frisk you.

Kyle : No, one of you. You, just get me the gun. Get it to me while I'm in there. Some- some signal or something.

Eric : Wait, you're going to be the one, that does it, right?

Brad : Stop. Could we actually talk about something?

Eric : You know what? We know what we're talking about all right, faggot?

Brad : [to Eric] Shut up.

[to Kyle]

Brad : Kyle, do you actually think you can just go up in somebody's face with a gun?

Kyle : I don't know, Brad. I don't- I don't know what else to do.

Brad : No, Kyle, if you do this, you wreck your life. That means you wreck all of it.

[Kyle picks up a basketball and throws it]

Kyle : Don't be a part of it.

Kyle : How ya doing, brother?

Jake : Who is this guy, man?

Kyle : Don't worry, okay? Trust me.

[they fist bump each other]

Luke : Look at you two, so young. Nothing just waiting to happen. And you don't even know it.

[Luke chuckles]

Kyle : So, got a real bright future, huh? Got um, big plans?

Luke : Ballsy.

[Luke punches Kyle]

Eric : [Eric and Brad are outside and find the old car that had hit the tree] Look at this.

Brad : Shit. This thing is totally wrecked.

Eric : [gets on top of the car] Like this?

[takes the crowbar tat is sticking out and hits the car, he gives the crowbar to Brad]

Eric : What the hell reeks?

[he jumps down from the car]

Brad : Oh, God. What is that?

[the scene switches to Luke inside the clubhouse with Kyle]

Luke : The cop I told you about? That's where I got this stuff. He wouldn't let me go. I tried to change.

Eric : [the scene switches back to Eric and Brad] Oh, shit!

Brad : Oh my God.

Luke : [the scene switches back to Luke and Kyle] He wouldn't let me. He just kept pushing and pushing and pushing. So I shot him.

[Eric slams the car trunk closed]

Luke : I don't know if I regret it or not.

Eric : Fuck! Fuck!

Luke : [the scene switches to Luke with Kyle] Probably not. I tell ya Kyle, I can't wait till the morning.

Kyle : That's when they can get the car. What can you do?

Eric : [yelling out loud in the store] All I wanna do, is get totally pissed, huh? What should we get?

Kyle : [scoffs] I don't know.

Eric : Speak up, what should we get?

Kyle : [louder] I don't know.

Eric : There ya go.

Liquor Store Manager : [overhearing] Kids, fuck. I hate them.

Liquor Store Cashier : Excuse me, I think you boys had better leave.

Kyle : C'mon. We're just shopping.

Eric : Yeah, we're shopping, pal.

Liquor Store Manager : He said you'll have to leave or we're call the police.

Kyle : Oh, relax, okay?

Liquor Store Manager : That's it, Barney. Call the police.

Eric : Yeah, Barney, could you do that for us, big guy? Hey, ah,

[picks up a bottle of wine]

Eric : Do you like this?

Liquor Store Manager : Put the bottle back, sir.

Kyle : You don't recommend this one?

Eric : No, you know what? I think that was a yes.

[he pulls off the cap]

Eric : Oh, good, it's a screw cap.

Liquor Store Cashier : Put the bottle back.

[Eric drinks from the bottle]

Eric : You know what I like about this, though, guys, is if I even wanted to go to school, I couldn't. "I'm sorry, Eric denied". You

[puts his cigarette in his mouth]

Eric : must fuck around all day.

[he shoots a BB gun at a target practice poster, he shoots a BB in a plastic glass and Kyle laughs]

Brad : What? Thank you very much!

[Brad wipes his pants]

Eric : No problem.

Brad : That's real intelligent.

Eric : Like that?

Kyle : I probably won't even be here for the summer so...

Eric : [blows out cigarette smoke] Why you doing that? Huh? Why would you go to school during the summer? I hate programs.

Brad : Yeah, well he wants to be a pilot, it does make sense.

Kyle : Hey, if that's wrecking my summer, then I'll wreck it, I- I mean I'm going to be flying planes. What are you gonna be doing?

Eric : [Eric shoots a BB] Anyways, we always got this place, right, guys?

Kyle : Yeah.

Eric : It's our shack. Like our apartment.

Kyle : Without neighbors.

Eric : Yeah, If I wanted to, I mean if I really wanted to, I could do this.

[Eric cranks the music really loud]

Eric : [over the loud music] Who's gonna say anything? Huh?

Brad : Turn it down, please!

Eric : No way!

Brad : You're ruining a perfectly good song!

Kyle : To the teacher's strike, ten days old, no end in sight.

Megan : So, um, I'm probably gonna be a writer, or a poet. probably a writer because I think they make more money.

Kyle : Yeah, I'm thinking of being a pilot.

Megan : Oh yeah, do you fly?

Kyle : Well, no, but I'm, I'm going to school this summer out east, just single engine planes. No big deal.

Megan : That's cool.

Kyle : [takes drink from the container] God, I shouldn't have told you about the shack. Eric could kill me.

Megan : [Giggles] Well, I'll tell you, Eric already told me at like, some field trip or something.

Kyle : That dick.

Megan : [Megan giggles] Oops! Sorry.

Kyle : [Kyle and Eric are in the grocery store and Kyle sees Megan and some other girls sitting outside] Wait.

Eric : What?

Kyle : Nothing, just...

Eric : Are you looking at Megan, huh? You talk to her? What's the matter? Can't think of anything?

Kyle : I don't know.

Megan : [from a distance, outside talking to her frinds] It's really cool.

Kyle : Forget it, we'll just say hello, okay?

Eric : Just say some bullshit, I mean, you know Megan. C'mon, I'll help ya.

[Kyle, Brad and Eric are talking and enter the clubhouse]

Luke : [points gun at them] Don't move!

Eric : Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! It's okay!

Brad : Kyle...

Kyle : Don't do anything okay?

Eric : Oh, shit!

Kyle : We're just guys.

Luke : No shit. Who knows about this place?

Kyle : Nobody.

Brad : No one.

Eric : Yeah, no one. It's true, it's ours, it's cool.

Luke : All right, come here, get in here. Move it.

[he grunts]

Luke : My name's Luke and uh, I'm a cop.

[he tosses the boys his badge]

Luke : I was scared, I've been shot.

[opens the gun cylinder]

Luke : It's empty. I'm in trouble. I'm sorry I'm in your place, I guess I couldn't move anymore.

Kyle : So, you need a doctor.

Luke : No, don't do anything.

Brad : Well, I- I- we could call the police and...

Luke : Don't do anything. It's the police I'm running from.

[flicks the cylinder back into the gun]

Luke : From the cops that shot me.

[he grunts and limps to the chair]

Luke : Just forget it, okay? Forget it. You'll never see me again.

[he sits in the chair]

Luke : Just do me a favor, keep your mouth shut, don't tell anyone.

Brad : Where did this happen?

Kyle : Who cares, he needs first aid.

Luke : First aid.

[chuckles]

Luke : You got a Band-Aid?

Kyle : No, there's water, we could uh, wash it and tie the leg off.

Luke : Sure, water, right.

Eric : Okay, Brad, water.

Kyle : Uh, I could stay here, if- if you'd like.

Luke : Sure.

[Kyle sits down in a chair]

Luke : What're you a pilot?

Brad : How do you know Jake's even there?

Kyle : Cause he is! I- I just gotta get the address. We'll go there, we'll get Jake's car, we'll get it to Luke, and he'll let us go.

Brad : Cop killer. That's funny. That's funny. Fu-

[he picks up his bike and tosses it on the ground]

Brad : We have to call the cops.

Kyle : No, no way, he'll kill em.

Brad : Right, right.

[he picks up his bike again]

Kyle : Stop throwing your bike!

Brad : Kyle, what do you think he's doing to Eric?

Kyle : Forget it all right, let's just get the car!

Eric : [First lines] So I got the volume way down, all right, and these chicks, I mean, these chicks just start going at it, right? You know like no talk just action?

Brad : And your mom walks in?

Kyle : Oh, shit, busted.

Eric : Yeah, and she doesent say a word, I mean she's just standing there,

[Kyle laughs]

Eric : she's just fucking standing there and staring at me.

Brad : How embarrassing.

Kyle : I wish we had cable.

Eric : And all she can say is, "you're up awfully late, Eric".

Kyle : As if we have anywhere to be in the morning.

Brad : So you get caught watching porn in your house and you didn't get in trouble? Man, I would be so dead.

Eric : Have you ever seen a naked woman, Brad?

Kyle : You want to tell me why not?

Brad : Besides that it's demented and stupid?

Kyle : Shhh! C'mon, you'll only get a bit.

Brad : No, I mean this is more of a you and Eric thing.

Kyle : What does that mean?

Brad : Oh c'mon, it happens a lot now. You and Eric have your thing and I'm kind of isolated.

Kyle : [scoffs] That's what this is about?

Brad : No, it's-it's-it's just that Eric's always yeah, yeah, yeah and I'm always the suck and who cares what I think? Ya know it's like he just tolerates me just so we can hang out with you. I mean, I don't need that.

Kyle : I think you're making a big deal out of it.

Brad : How? I mean, look at you and your dad? You're not at home. You're here. Why? Because your dad's a jerk all the time and you don't like being around him. Sorry.

Kyle : My dad isn't a jerk, Brad. He's just being a dad. You know, I know it sounds weird, but that's just all it is. Wait and see if I get into that school. You'll see.

Brad : Yeah, you'll get in.

Kyle : Eric likes you. He knows you're smart. If you want to bail, then that's it. I won't go back.

Brad : Fine.

Kyle : [sitting by himself on the ground, he makes a gun with his hand] You want it. You want it. Just take it. Just take it. Use it. Use it. Fucker.

Eric : Look, you can go with her any night of the year, why tonight?

Kyle : Cause, I'll be there okay? I'm gonna meet you.

Eric : Bradly, Bradly, Bradly, c'mon, you gotta come. I mean, this is the cool part. Hey! I don't want to go there by myself.

Brad : Maybe.

Eric : [to Kyle] Look you tell him. He doesent listen to me.

Brad : Look, I can make my own decisions if that's all right with you!

Eric : [Brad grabs his bike] Okay, hey, I'll call ya, all right?

[Brad starts walking his bike and leaves]

Eric : Fucking jerk.

Kyle : [Brad and Eric get Kyle to walk over to Megan and ask her out while they watch from afar] Hey, Megan.

Megan : Hi.

Kyle : Um, do you wanna- can- can you come here for a second?

Megan : Sure.

Eric : [to Brad] He's doing his thing.

Kyle : So, um, how you doing?

Eric : [to Brad] You ever asked a girl out?

Brad : Me?

Eric : Yeah.

Brad : Mmmm, no. How about you?

Eric : [Erick smirks] Kinda.

Brad : Kinda?

Kyle : [to Megan] Um, I was just wondering, do you want to go out any time with me?

Megan : Sure.

Kyle : Yeah?

Megan : Yeah.

Eric : She said yes.

Brad : Cool.

Eric : She said yes. She said yes!

Kyle : I'll talk to you later then.

Megan : Okay.

Kyle : See ya.

Megan : Okay.

[Brad and Eric high five]

Luke : Kyle, is it?

Kyle : Here, give him something.

Luke : Now, I'm going to poke around in my leg, see if I can get the pieces of pant out that got shot into it.

Eric : [takes off his shirt around his waist] So let me get this straight, it's the cops, right? Huh? Cops on the take?

Luke : Where am I? I mean like what part of the world?

Kyle : Emslie, Ontario.

Luke : Emslie?

[he chuckles]

Luke : You live around here?

Kyle : Nobody asked us.

Brad : But, how'd you end up all the way here?

Eric : [Eric gives Luke a cigarette] Here.

Luke : I drove, limped, crawled, and puked my way up here. Your buddy has got my sunglasses.

Eric : Oh, I'm sorry.

[he gives Luke the sunglasses but Luke gives them back to Eric]

Eric : Thanks.

Kyle : Hows it now?

Luke : We're gonna see.

[Luke tries to get up but grunts and sits back down]

Luke : Oh, dirty bastard. I'm going to rip his fucking life apart. I'm going to do it slow. I don't think I can travel yet.

Eric : It's all right, just stay here.

Luke : Just a couple of days, boys. Get on my feet, I can get to a phone.

Eric : Yeah.

Luke : There's a guy I can call.

Kyle : It's okay.

Eric : Yeah, right, guys?

Brad : I'm just saying, we need to talk about it.

Eric : Blah, blah, whatever.

[Kyle comes over and Eric walks up to Kyle]

Eric : Is he getting it?

Kyle : Forty.

Eric : All right, guys, let's just talk about life for a second, huh, what do you say?

Kyle : School?

Eric : No.

[takes a drag from his cigarette]

Eric : We have a cop who's been shot with the gun, and he's hanging out in our shack. And he's like our guest.

Kyle : This is so weird, I- he- he is pretty hardcore.

Eric : Oh, God, he's been in a gunfight, okay? We've got hopeless face over there in the liquor store. And those Kilroy guys, those Kilroy guys could not handle a situation like us. I mean, get the fuck out of here.

Kyle : What's wrong, Brad?

[Brad looks at the ground]

Kyle : [Kyle sees a cop car] Cop. Don't look at him.

Eric : We're just guys hanging around and stuff, all right? We're just talking and shit, okay?

Luke : You hear that?

Kyle : I didn't hear anything.

Luke : You better hope to God you didn't.

Megan : [Kyle and Megan are laying on a blanket, they laugh] Oh my God, that's so terrifying.

Kyle : You hear that whirring noise?

Megan : Yeah.

Kyle : It's the pilot. Keeps changing the power of the different engines to control the landing. It's so cool, you don't see many jets here.

[Megan looks at him]

Kyle : What?

Megan : I don't know.

[She sits up]

Megan : You know, you're so lucky you're going away this summer, I don't think I can stand another summer around here.

Kyle : I know what you mean, it sucks.

Megan : It bites, is what it does. Here.

[she gives him the container of beer and he drinks from it]

Megan : Geez, I can't believe I'm out with Jake McLaren's brother.

Kyle : What do you mean?

Megan : Nothing. It's just kinda reputation. It's interesting, no offense or anything.

Kyle : I'm not like him.

Megan : No kidding, duh.

[she giggles]

Megan : Wanna know what else?

Kyle : What?

Megan : You're really cute.

Kyle : Yeah.

Megan : Yeah.

[they kiss]

Megan : Piloting.

[they kiss again and he puts his hand on her breast]

Megan : Kyle, take it easy.

Kyle : Sorry.

Megan : It's all right. It's okay.

Kyle : I- I don't know why I did that.

Megan : Oh,

[stammers]

Megan : Why don't you just relax.

Kyle : Why'd you ask me about Jake?

Megan : I don't know, so?

[Kyle stands up, Megan scoffs]

Megan : Kyle, it really didn't mean anything by it.

Kyle : The pilot stuff isn't true, I lied.

Megan : What, so, so you made it up?

Kyle : There's no school, I didn't get in.

Megan : Kyle, I don't even know what you're ta...

Kyle : You want to know about Jake? He smashed my dad's car with a chain cause he was mad. Funny, eh?

Megan : Oh.

Kyle : You see, "oh". You said, "oh".

Megan : Kyle, come on.

Kyle : Sorry, I'm a lousy date, eh? I had fun.

[he leaves]

Megan : [Megan gets up] Kyle! Kyle!
