Clear History Page #11

Synopsis: A PR specialist refuses to market a car called a "Howard" - a colossal error that loses him a billion dollars and makes him a national joke. He loses his hair, shaves his beard, takes a new name, and moves to Martha's Vineyard. Jump ten years: "Rolly" is a popular local whose sangfroid evaporates when the Howard's inventor moves to the island. Rolly, his old self unrecognizable, hatches a plan to rid the island of his nemesis; he also decides to woo the billionaire's wife. Fellatio, a former girlfriend, a woman who's lost weight, her boyfriend, the band Chicago, a menacing Chechen, a bus load of ill children, and a pair of ne'er-do-wells with experience with explosives figure in the story.

- I'm sorry.

- What?

I absolutely... I have to get going.

I'm sorry.

You're not gonna help us?

I thought you were nice.

- I am nice!

- You're gonna leave us here?

What can I do? I have to go!

You rude prick! I sent

you a birthday e-mail

and you never even answered it.

No. No, I don't respond

to birthday e-mails.

I never have. It's just that I get so many.

You are such an a**hole. You are not nice!

No. I'm nice. I'm very nice.

I'm a living doll.

- You're not nice.

- I'm nice. I'm nice.

- You're a dirty bastard.

- I'm really nice. I'm sorry.

- You're a f***ing a**hole.

- I hope your dick falls off!

- You're a motherfucking a**hole!

- I'm nice. I'm sorry!

What's that? Beeping? What's beeping?

No, no, no, no, no!

Damn it! No!

Goodbye, Frank.

Howard! You f***!

You piece of sh*t!

F***!

Stop it!

Call it off!

- I changed my mind!

- Get back! Get back!

- I changed my mind!

- Get back!

Yeah! Come on! We're gonna get out of here.

Hey. We got you your painting.

This is a car! I said a shopping cart!

- You said car.

- I said cart!

This is a car!

We gotta go. We'll take you in the car!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Where are you going?

Are you excited?

You ready to get back into things?

Back into what?

Future's wide-open now.

Really? What am I gonna do?

I don't know. Maybe you could

become a wizard, find the Hobbits

and help them destroy the Ring.

You don't like my look?

If you do decide to change your name again,

Gandalf could be a good way to go.

- How's Wendy doing?

- She's actually doing pretty good.

You know, when Tibby passed,

she left her everything she had.

And it turns out the old

broad had millions.

Beautiful out here.

How you doing?

Heineken.

- No.

- Oh, my God.

Holy Christ.

Mmm-hmm.

What are you gonna do?

Yeah. What are you gonna do?

- The whole scandal. My God.

- Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Everybody knew about it.

And you went to jail.

- Oh, my God.

- Jail. Yeah.

You survived.

You look good. Did you got raped?

- No. No.

- No. Oh, good.

- Who's gonna rape me?

- Oh, my God. Good. Thank God.

- I raped a few people there.

- No. No. No. You're kidding.

No. Please say you're kidding.

- Yes. I'm kidding.

- Thank God. Oh, my God.

But, hey, I'm really happy to see you. Wow.

And I'm happy to see you.

But, it's a different you, isn't it?

No. It's the same me.

You owe me 50 bucks.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm so sorry.

Oh, you certainly do.

- No. I think it was a miscommunication.

- I don't think so.

- I think it was a miscommunication...

- I know it wasn't.

But I tell you what,

you can take me out to dinner.

Like as a way to pay you back?

Absolutely.

Like a date?

Like a date.

Fantastic. When?

- Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow.

On one condition.

You take a shave.

- You got a deal.

- Got a deal?

For you.

I can't wait.

Me either.

Unbelievable!

Is your cousin Stinky

still working on cars?

- Nah, he sucks.

- Oh, man.

All right.

Come on, let's play some cards.

- Wow!

- All right.

- This is awesome, man.

- Good to see you, brother.

- Good to see you.

- Pull up a chair.

Oh, look. I got my old spot back.

You got all cleaned up.

I was prepping these dudes

for the homeless wizard look.

Yeah. I got a little shave and a haircut.

I didn't want to scare anybody, you know.

Hey, what do we call you?

Rolly? Nathan? What...

Rolly.

- Rolly it is.

- Yeah. Rolly.

- Welcome home.

- Thank you very much.

So, Rolly, am I the first woman you've seen

since you've been out?

Dottie, you're the first.

You and me, come on, let's go. Let's do it.

You're the first, Dome.

What's the game?

Five-card draw.

I think that's your favorite, isn't it?

Same sh*t-game that he always plays,

nothing's changed.

Ante up, you guys.

Well, whether you know it or not, Rolly,

you have become a bit

of a hero in these parts.

A lot of people were happy to see

that monstrosity of a house hit the dust.

- Local hero.

- You're the guy.

Ballsy move.

Your three years in prison

was worth getting rid of that house.

- Absolutely.

- Hey, what happened to Money Bags?

They got him on some treatment.

He's in remission.

- They went back to California.

- No kidding?

Are they ever coming back to the island?

I don't think they should,

knowing that Rolly's back in town.

- Oh, yeah. What am I thinking?

- That wouldn't be the smartest thing for them.

All right, ante in.

My only regret, Rolly, is that you missed

the Chicago concert that night.

My God! Best show I've ever seen.

The entire island was there.

- They were great.

- Yeah. All three encores.

Everybody had a great time,

especially the band.

Why is that?

Jennifer blew them in the parking lot.

- I forgot about that.

- Jennifer? The whole band?

- Lee Loughnane, for sure.

- Definitely Jimmy Pankow.

No. No. Not Pankow.

It was Loughnane and Robert Lamm.

No. It was all three.
