Bombay Beach Page #5

- Right, okay.

I am just clearing him

neurologically.

So it probably was a reaction

to the medication, probably.

Okay.

But neurologically,

he's clear.

So he has to continue with

his behavioral medications

and doctors, okay?

All right.

Nice meeting you, okay?

What did you do to me,

Jessie?

Give 'em the

pictures, I don't care.

- Yeah, you do.

- No, I don't.

Brentley, you're over here

threatening me,

blackmailing me,

I don't care anymore.

Go show those pictures,

I don't care.

We broke up

like almost a month ago.

And he's just trying to

blackmail me

- to get back with him.

- I know.

'Cause he has pictures of me

doing oral to him.

Yeah, I know, but I'm scared.

Yes, I know.

It's my fault, I know.

How many times

did I tell you?

A lot.

Oh.

You was blinding me.

I'm sorry.

- What are those for?

- Magician career.

Well, why a white mask?

I think it looks exotic.

Like everybody-- everybody's

face is the same.

That looks creepy.

But I mean, like,

then you guys can't see

- your facial expressions.

- That's the point.

Like everybody just looks like

stiff, but like--

- I know.

- Like everybody looks stiff,

but like the movements are like

crazy and how you hit it.

But I like,

like, seeing your face.

- Can you see my eyes?

- Oh, yeah.

# Well it's been a long time #

# Long time now #

# Since I've seen you smile #

# And I'll gamble away

my fright #

# And I'll gamble

away my time #

# And in a year

a year or so #

# This will slip into the sea #

# Well it's been a long time

long time now #

# Since I've seen you smile ##

Red:
I get up each day.

I make it out to the road to

pick up the newspaper.

Bring it in for Les and Didi.

Trying to more or less

take care of myself,

yet gain the exercise and all.

I gain a little bit

every day.

But I still wake up at night

thinking I hear somebody out

here trying to steal something.

I don't know, it just gets to be

a habit, I guess.

Life is nothing

but a habit, anyway.

Benny.

Benny.

Wake up.

Wake up.

It's your first day of school.

Look, what is that?

Rascal.

- Oohh.

- Oh, isn't he cute?

- Benjamin:
It's gonna suck.

- Why?

Because I don't wanna be alone.

You won't be alone,

you'll have friends.

I wonder if

they'll be nice to me.

If you'll be nice to them,

I'm sure they will be.

Oop.

It don't wanna button.

What in the world?

I want that one.

Ooh.

All the girlies are gonna be

like, "woo-hoo."

Rub 'em together.

All over your face.

Ahh.

Smells good.

Open your mouth.

Okay, now open.

Don't spill it

on your shirt.

Here comes the sexy boy.

Well, hello, Mr. Boy.

- You gonna be good today?

- Yeah.

I'm gonna take my wallet

so they know who I am.

Oh, they know who you are.

Yeah.

But you're gonna show 'em

a new Benny, aren't you?

- Mm-hmm, I am.

- A new and improved Benny.

- Pamela:
So, are you okay?

- I hope so.

You'll be okay.

Did you say you hope so?

I hope I behave.

Okay?

Pamela:
I gotta talk to 'em

because there's like

the side effects

from the Resveratrol.

Michael:
Uh-huh, what is that?

One of the major ones

is the drooling.

There's also the little bugs,

he thinks there's bugs on him.

These never go away.

That is our point,

I was like, oh, my gosh.

I hadn't really done any

research on Resveratrol.

Michael:
I saw you bringing

some stuff out.

Yeah.

Well, there's your classroom.

Wow, I used to have

this class.

woman:
I have a seat for you--

come here, come look.

I put you right here, okay?

Right here.

Pamela:
Wow.

woman:
And you have

all your new books.

Hey, can I talk to you?

I know that last year,

you got yelled at a lot.

Is that correct?

You don't want to get yelled at

anymore, do you?

You want to get yelled at

or no, you don't wanna?

- No.

- I didn't think so.

So, um, how-- how--

Do you think you can control

yourself this year?

- I don't know.

- Well, I hope so.

Pamela:
Can you try?

woman:
So what happens?

You start feeling mad inside

or what?

Uh, I have a special

trick for backpacks.

You need to go into the front

part of your desk

and push the backpack

in from the front.

Squish it, squish

it right through there.

Squish, squish, squish.

Your backpack will not fit

there, so that can go there.

Okay, please stand.

And do the flag salute.

Okay, ready, begin.

all:
I pledge allegiance

to the flag

of the United

States of America.

And to the republic

for which it stands,

one nation, under God,

indivisible,

with liberty

and justice for all.

all:
Let's go, Hornets!

Let's go, Hornets!

Let's go, Hornets!

Let's go, Hornets!

Catching the ball.

man:
CeeJay, go, go,

go, go, go!

Come on, CeeJay!

Cedric, good job!

# Well don't you make

that sad mistake #

# You know that I'm

talking 'bout a birthday cake #

# Get your finger

out of it #

# It don't belong to you #

# I wouldn't give you a piece

even if you want me to ##

- This ain't a beach.

- Yeah, it is.

Benny, I've got something

important to tell you.

And what is that?

I have a baby in my tummy.

You're going to be

a big brother.

And why do you

need to be pregnant?

There is three kids

already.

- I wish this was my house.

- Why?

'Cause it's a big room.

( phone ringing )

This is the day

the Lord has made.

Let's rejoice and be glad it--

Wrong phone.

Bombay Market,

good afternoon.

There's a plate in there.

- What do you want?

- Gold.

all:
# Happy birthday

to Michael #

# Happy birthday to you ##

woman:
I believe we got a Red

coming, yes.

Red's here.

Good to see you,

you look really good.

Well, I am good, even better

than you might think.

How you doing, Scooter?

Pretty good,

how you doing?

Real good.

Can I get me one of them

cigarettes?

I'm going to jail

this morning.

Huh?

We told 'em we were going

on vacation.

In about a half an hour.

Red:
That Jerry's

little brother.

- Oh, Ben and Miranda--

- Ben, yeah.

They're actually

going to church, too.

You aren't talking about Big

Mary and Little Mary, are you?

No.

- Eskimo Patty?

- No.

What about Chris

that used to be out here?

- He's kind of a vegetable now.

- What happened to Half Pint?

And what about

old Scary Sherry?

Is she still around?

Wow, what about, uh...

No, I call her "Cow's Ass."

Up there... Sheila?

Red, who do you think

that looks like?

It's on TV?

Spaceship movies?

Hmm.

How 'bout "Star Wars"?

- How 'bout Yoda?

- Was that Yoda?

I thought they called that

"yogurt."

I'm back

and I'm happy about it.

And dang it, I'm a lucky cuss.

I told 'em when I was

down and out,

that I would get back there.

I still enjoy my cigarettes,

and I drink a bourbon

now and then.

I love my girlfriends.

I never say "goodbye."

I'll say so long to you.

Glad to know you.

Hope to see you again.

"Goodbye" is very definite.

And I don't believe in things

that definite

about something

you don't know.

It takes a whole community

to raise a child.

But you must remember,

some of the very best-raised
