Clear History Page #7

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 saying $600,

- $500...

- Shut the f*** up!

All right. Okay.

You know, when you get older,

it's not so easy

to go through the bills anymore.

That's why you see old people,

you know, they always go like this.

I'm starting to go like this now.

This all the time, you know, like Fagin.

I'm doing this.

There you go.

This is detonator.

- Okay, this is it, huh?

- Good luck.

Hi, Tibor.

- Oh, sh*t.

- What the f***?

What the f***? What the f***?

You waved me to go and then you hit me.

No. No, I didn't wave you to go.

I waved goodbye.

That's goodbye.

It was not goodbye. It was not this.

It was like this, like go. You said go.

- No, I didn't say go.

- I went and you hit me.

No, Tibor, I did not say go!

I said goodbye.

Go, if I said go, I would

have gone go, go, go.

This is goodbye.

How do you misinterpret that?

Why would you wave goodbye to me?

I don't f***ing know you.

What do you mean

why would I wave goodbye?

It's polite. We had an

encounter, we talked.

I will get estimate, okay, for Howard.

I will find you and you will pay.

Hey, Rolly.

Hey. You wanted to see me?

Yeah.

It was a little chilly last night,

and I just wanted to know how it's going.

Well, first of all, I'm really sorry about

that, but I gotta tell you something.

I'm working overtime on this thing.

I'm sure.

The problem is the, um,

ecto-plexmatic tubes

are not connected properly.

You know what?

Come with me, because it's...

I left my hammer in the gym,

and I'll explain the whole thing to you.

But you've got a hammer on your belt.

No, my lucky hammer.

Can I ask you a question?

Do you know anything

about this fair on Saturday?

Oh! Are you kidding?

- The fair, of course.

- Yeah?

They have it once a year,

and everybody on the island goes.

It's fun. You know, there's rides

and there's a dunking booth,

you ever see one of those'?

I love the dunking booth.

The dunking booth,

and they got, like, Best Pig.

- Okay.

- And Best Danish.

Oh, God, it feels so good to laugh.

You know what?

My husband's leaving this weekend.

I think that's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna go to the fair on Saturday.

I'm gonna do it.

You know what, you're a

real Vineyarder now.

- Mrs. Haney?

- Uh-huh?

There's a package here

you need to sign for.

Okay, great.

- See ya.

- Bye, Rolly.

Yeah.

- Hey, Stumpo.

- Hey.

Okay, get this.

Haney is gonna be out of town this weekend.

His wife is gonna be

at the fair all day Saturday.

The house is gonna be empty.

You can do your recon,

take pictures, scope it out.

Beautiful. Okay, we'll case

the place on Saturday then.

Okay, see you.

- I'm gonna follow her from the gate...

- Right.

Over to the fair.

If I see that she's heading back,

I'm gonna text you.

That should give you

plenty of time to get out.

All right.

Boy, I gotta pee.

See, they should have pee flaps in cars.

Pee flaps. A little flap,

a cylindrical tube.

You pee right into the tube.

Wouldn't that be a great idea?

- Where does it go?

- Yeah, where would it go?

- Can't just let it out.

- Yeah. The same set-up as an airplane.

I don't think you thought this through.

I'm just gonna be honest.

There'll be piss all over the roads.

Just use a bottle like everybody else.

No. That one astronaut tried

to kill that other astronaut

- and she drove cross-country in a diaper.

- Oh, yeah.

That's a good idea, a car diaper.

You do a car diaper,

that makes more sense than a pee flap.

A car diaper? That's the worst idea ever.

You sell them at gas stations...

Hey, hey, hey. There she is.

Get out, get out, get out.

Ru text you.

Well, well, well. What a surprise, Rolly.

Hey. Fancy meeting you here.

- Meeting you, yeah.

- Yeah.

You know that swing set

I asked you to put together?

- Yeah.

- It collapsed.

I know. I know all about that.

Yeah. Did you know there

were a lot of kids on it?

Did you know two of them

are in the hospital right now?

I followed all the instructions.

You're fired.

- What?

- That's right, you're fired.

Turn in your helmet.

If anybody is getting fired,

McKenzie, it's gonna be you.

Rolly here has fixed my exo-plasmatic tube

and done wonders on your shoddy work.

"Ecto" what? I'm sorry...

The flagellator...

We can't even find the flagellator.

- The "flaga" what?

- And the exo-plagmatic tube.

The heat has not been working

since I arrived in this house, McKenzie.

I will take care of it.

If you're gonna fire anybody,

you're gonna come to me first

and you're gonna ask me.

- I'll take care of everything.

- Well, you better get on it.

- That's why I hired you.

- Nice to see you, Mrs. Haney.

Yeah, nice to see you too.

- Enjoy the fair.

- I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry about that, Rolly.

Blaming me for the swings?

Those poor kids. I felt so horrible.

I feel so much guilt about that.

I'm gonna visit those kids

in the hospital tomorrow.

- You are?

- I am.

- That's so sweet.

- Yeah.

By the way, this is very fortuitous...

This is.

I must say, bumping into you like this.

Excellent.

We should take in the fair together.

- Let's do it.

- Oh, great.

Hey! Look at that!

- Right for the one I aimed...

- That was unbelievable!

What's over there?

That's all you got?

Come on. You can throw

better than that one.

Come on!

Hey, Mrs. Lee, I want my nails done.

Oh, look who's here. I wanna talk...

Oh, it's disgusting.

No, I'm literally gonna throw up.

How could you drag me here?

- Let's get out of here.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Here's the itinerary, okay?

Okay-

Ferris wheel next,

then we go right to the big tent.

Oh, that's cute.

- Yeah...

- Who's Bartholomew Gosnold?

He's the founder of the Vineyard,

and Martha is his grandmother,

maybe his daughter.

I don't know.

- Martha's Vineyard.

- Yes, yes.

Ah! Of course.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Let's do it. Let's be Pilgrims.

- Pilgrims?

- Yes.

- Really looking forward...

- I got it. I'm gonna get it.

- Come on.

- Let me get it.

- No!

- I'm doing it.

Hi...

Yeah, look at you over there.

Taking pictures.

Must be nice, huh?

Come around here,

pretend to be

somebody else, huh'?

You just jump in another

motherf***er's body, huh?

Oh, look at this on my phone!

Motherf***er named Nathan.

I knew your ass looked familiar to me.

- How you doing, Nathan?

- Shh! Quiet.

No, you be quiet.

You know what Jennifer told me now?

That she wants her space.

You put that sh*t in her head.

"Space" means

"I wanna be with somebody different."

No, no. She's saying she wants her space.

It's like space.

You're alone in space,

- the planets aren't near each other.

- Oh, okay.

It's the black void

of being alone in a black void.

So no one wants to be near a black void?

- I'm a black-ass void now?

- No, you're not a black void.

You're talking about me.

I'm the blackest motherf***er here.

- You're not a black void!

- Man, I'm about to smash

the rest of that f***ing hair

out your goddamn head.

I can read between the lines and sh*t.
