Clear History Page #4

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.

Leave her the f*** alone, man.

Stay out of my sh*t.

Sorry.

Something about you.

I haven't put my finger on that sh*t yet,

but there's something about you, man.

- You're f***ing familiar to me.

- You haven't seen me anywhere.

Maybe on TV.

I'll figure this sh*t out.

It will come to me.

Get the f*** out of here

with that Wagoneer.

That's a white man's f***ing car.

Who the f*** rides around with wood

on the side of their f***ing car?

Nobody does that sh*t.

Too much to the right.

Go to the left, Rolly.

Come on, dig in. That's a boy.

I... You know... Who are

you, Captain Bligh?

You can stop shouting out instructions to me.

I know what I'm doing.

Ooh, look at that.

Those must be the people

who bought Blue Heron.

That's a shame.

That used to be a beautiful piece of

property with a beautiful home on it.

It doesn't have the charm that it used to

when the Stumpos owned it.

I don't know what they were thinking of.

Must have enough money...

All right, looking good.

All this stuff is going to the kids' gym.

We'll get it all unpacked and everything...

Oh, hey, uh, ooh, great...

I wanted to tell him,

but I didn't have a chance.

A lot of these boxes in here,

the flat stuff, are mirrors,

so just be extra careful with those.

Obviously, no one wants bad luck.

I'm in your way.

I'm so sorry.

You have a job to do.

I will let you get on with it.

Thank you.

Back up, back up.

Just back up.

- Me?

- Yeah, back...

Right over here, there's a place.

Right over there.

- Are you kidding?

- No, come on.

You have a clearance

right around the bend there.

- I can't back...

- Come on! Of course, you can.

I'm way back there,

you should be backing up.

- Back up.

- Damn it.

- You're supposed to back up.

- F*** you. Let's just go.

A**hole.

My clearance is, like, 80 yards behind me.

He's got... Just right around

a little bend, it's nothing.

- Right.

- And he won't back up.

I'll tell you this, if

that's happen to me again,

no way I'm backing up.

I don't give a sh*t who it is.

- Stand your ground.

- That's it.

But it happens all the time.

Last time that happened to me,

I just pulled up,

I wouldn't move, he wouldn't move.

I get out of the car and

I started walking away.

The guy goes, "Where are you going?"

I said, "I'm leaving.

"You happy now, a**hole? You win."

And I walked and I left the truck

and I went to Bridget Tobert's house

and I just smoked a joint

and came out an hour later.

Truck's there, he's gone, I win!

You guys ready to play cards or what?

Yeah. What are we playing?

Chicago,

- highest spade in the hole, splits the pot.

- Love it.

Speaking of Chicago,

anyone going to the concert?

- What concert?

- The Chicago concert.

They're coming back to the island.

They haven't been here for 20 years.

Wendy should be happy about that.

What does that mean?

Why should Wendy be happy about it?

Last time they were here,

she blew the lot of them.

Is that supposed to be a joke?

No! They came here 20 years ago,

she went to the concert,

and she ended up blowing the band.

- Allegedly.

- It's a rumor.

- Wendy blew Chicago.

- Wendy the waitress,

who I lived with for three years, that's...

- No, not the whole band.

- How many did she blow?

- What's the difference?

- There's a big difference.

If you blow one guy, okay.

I get it, people blow people. It happens.

But what? We're not talking about

Simon and Garfunkel here.

This is Chicago. That's a big band.

Was it one? How many was it?

I know she blew Robert Lamm

and James Pankow.

No way. Yeah.

Lee Loughnane was in on

that, I will bet on it.

I don't wanna get you upset, but

as a friend, I heard it was three.

But you don't wanna get me upset?

- No, no.

- No.

You don't wanna get me upset,

but you heard it was three.

You're my friend, I don't

wanna get you upset.

No, I really appreciate that!

"Your ex-girlfriend

blew three guys from Chicago."

You're not gonna get me upset.

You're all wrong. It was four.

F*** you, Dome.

Okay? If anybody was blowing

Chicago that night, it was you.

I wish.

I'm gonna find out about this, by the way.

I'll get you a picture

from when she was in high school

and you show it to the band

and see who remembers her.

- Okay. Yeah.

- They'll remember.

One thing I don't understand,

why do you care?

Everybody seems to know about it

except me and it kind of pisses me off.

If I were you, this whole Chicago thing,

I'd let it go.

Eh...

We'll see.

Who's this?

- I'll find out.

- Rolly, two to you.

Hey, everybody, this is my friend Will.

I met him at the barge.

I wanted to show him

some island hospitality.

- Will, this is Dottie.

- Hi, Will, how are you? Nice to meet you.

Mike, Rick, Rolly, and that's Frank

- and that's Molgy.

- For all your insurance needs?

Thank you very much.

Hey, I don't wanna kiss your ass,

but I'm the proud new owner of a Howard.

Thank you.

It's been very successful, been very good.

Who do I give money to?

- Oh, you brought your money, good.

- I did indeed.

We love new card players. You're in.

Do we know one another?

I feel like... I feel like we've met.

You thought I was a mover

a couple days ago.

You thought he was a mover?

Him? He's like 9O years old.

No, I did not.

Starving Seniors?

It must've been the shoulders.

I feel terrible. I hope I tipped you.

Hey, Will, is it true you have

an actual bowling alley in there?

- We do.

- Indoor tennis court?

We don't have a tennis court.

Oh, just thought I'd bring that up.

The basketball court can be

multipurpose, so we can work it out.

You guys ready to

play cards here or...

Was there a guy, like, a few years ago...

Is this true or is this myth,

about the guy who was like

your partner or something

when you started the company,

but he got out early and then...

He would've ended up making,

like, a million dollars?

Yes. He was one of our marketing guys

back when we were just a little start-up,

and we were just about ready

to take the car public.

Had he kept

that investment stake in the company,

it would've been worth

somewhere in the area of a billion dollars.

Oh!

- That's just his?

- Yeah.

What an idiot!

He must regret

every day of his life.

Maybe he's happy.

- That's what I like to think. Maybe he is.

- He's a broke idiot!

Maybe he has his integrity.

- I'd rather have 12 bathrooms.

- That's right.

You don't know what he was thinking.

Maybe he wanted to get

away from the company.

Maybe he was an idiot.

Maybe he doesn't give a f*** about money!

What do you know about this guy?

- I don't know sh*t about him!

- I know you don't.

Because he's a moron!

I wouldn't be associated

with somebody that stupid.

Come on. Who's in?

Here, you know what? I'm gonna take off.

- Come on, Rolly. Stick around.

- Come on, Rolly.

We'll do it next week.

- All right, Rolly.

- Nice to meet you.

- Okay, see you.

- See you next week, Rolly.

- What's eating him?

- Everything okay?

His ex-girlfriend blew Chicago.
