Charlie Bartlett Page #8

Come on, Doctor!

What have you got for me?

I don't know what you want from me.

I don't need you to say anything to me

and I don't need you to save me!

All right, then, what am I supposed to do

in this situation?

You know, I'm just a kid!

I'm just a stupid kid!

Stop the f***ing presses.

Run that by me again. You're a what?

I'm just a kid.

I get it.

It's tough. I was a kid once, too.

Oh, f***!

(MUTTERlNG lNAUDlBLY)

-No!

-What are you...

(GRUNTS)

(COUGHlNG)

What the hell did you do that for?

You were going to kill yourself.

I can't kill myself.

I've got too many responsibilities.

You okay?

Yeah.

Never, never attack a drunk guy

with a gun. Do you understand?

-Yes, sir.

-Good.

Come on. Let's get cleaned up.

-Thank you.

-Yeah.

Hey, Charlie. See if that fits.

-Thank you.

-Sure.

How's your head? You all right?

It's okay.

Well, we should go

'cause we're going to miss the play.

I doubt she's going to be happy to see me.

No, you're her father,

and she loves you very much,

and you're totally missing it.

Fair enough.

-What about you?

-What about me, what?

What about your father?

You know, when I checked up on you,

I was half-hoping to find something

to make me feel justified

in kicking your ass out.

Then I found out about him.

There are worse crimes than tax evasion.

Yeah, but it's not worth

losing your father over.

Okay, so, stay mad at him forever.

How's that working for you?

Some days are better than others.

LANCE:
Come on, Monica. Just try it.

It'll give you such a high.

My God, you are, like,

totally peer-pressuring me.

I've never done it before.

Just do it. Trust me.

You know you want to.

I just don't know anymore.

She used to be my little girl.

I mean, what do you think

they're doing behind that door?

There's no way to know that.

And, besides, isn't it more interesting

to just trust them and see what happens?

I just don't understand why it's

so important to you that I do this.

'Cause it's fun and it'll feel good.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

(SlNGlNG) lfyou wanna sing out, sing out

If you wanna be free, be free

There's a million things to be

You know that there are

If you wanna live high, live high

If you wanna live low, live low

There's a million ways to go

You know that there are

You can do what you want

The opportunity's on

And if you find a new way

You can do it today

You can make it all true

And you can make it undo

If you wanna say yes, say yes

If you wanna say no, say no

There's a million ways to go

You know that there are

You know that there are

(A UDlENCE CHEERlNG)

I must say, of all the kids

applying for a summer internship,

you have quite a checkered history.

I understand. And I'm sure

you have a whole stack of people

with perfect backgrounds

and no disciplinary record.

Really, I'd do anything to work here.

Well, let's get on with the interview.

I've got a hell of a day ahead of me.

Would you like to talk about it?

Do you know what it's like

to fall on the floor?

And cry your guts out

till you got no more?

Hey, man

Now you're really living

Have you ever made love

to a beautiful girl?

Made you feel like

it's not such a bad world?

Hey, man

Now you're really living

Now you're really

giving it everything

And you're really

getting all you ga ve

Now you're really living

what this life is all about

Well, I just saw the sun

rise over the hill

Never used to give me

much of a thrill

But hey, man

Now I'm really living

Do you know what it's like

to care too much

'Bout someone that you're

never gonna get to touch?

Hey, man

Now you're really living

Ha ve you ever sat down

in the fresh-cut grass

And thought about the moment

and when it will pass?

Hey, man

Now you're really living

Now you're really

giving it everything

And you're really

getting all you ga ve

Now you're really living

what this life is all about

Now, what would you say

if I told you that

Everyone thinks

you're a crazy old cat

Hey, man

Now you're really living

Do you know what it's like

to fall on the floor?

And cry your guts out

till you got no more?

Hey, man

Now you're really living

Ha ve you ever made love

to a beautiful girl?

Made you feel like

it's not such a bad world?

Hey, man

Now you're really living

Do you know what it's like

to fall on the floor?

And cry your guts out

till you got no more?

Hey, man

Now you're really living

Just saw the sun rise over the hill

Never used to give me much of a thrill

But hey, man

Now I'm really living!
