CrissCross Page #4

All right.

Chris has been following

the moon flight...

for months, haven't you, honey?

Yeah. My dad wanted

to be an astronaut.

His dad was a navy pilot.

How about you, Chris?

You want to be a pilot?

- Boat captain.

- He'd like to be a boat captain.

To take people fishing?

- No...

- He likes whale-watching...

porpoise-watching.

I just like to see 'em.

I think he'd make

a terrific marine biologist.

So, you like school?

- I don't want to study...

- He likes school. He does.

Mom, shut up.

You can't talk to me

that way, Chris.

We're havin'

a conversation here.

We are? I'm gonna go

hang out with Buggs.

He gets a little

jealous sometimes.

I'm gonna go hang out

with Buggs, too.

Oh, yeah.

Wow, sweet.

Don't, 'cause he'll wake up.

Watch, watch. After I show you

something, I'll do it.

Wow. He likes it.

Oh, no!

That hurt?

Oh, man.

Here, watch, watch.

God damn it.

I bet you he don't like that.

I bet he don't like

seeing your boogers, either.

You guys want

to buy some beads?

Beat it, kid.

How are you guys doing today?

Listen, don't hassle us

for spare change, man.

Get out of here.

You want to buy some beads?

This ain't no good.

Get out of here.

How about a little...

one-on-one action?

You gonna sell us

your girlfriend or what?

What, kid?

Well, stuff that helps

sex maniacs.

What do you think?

You talking about coke?

Yeah.

How much you asking?

One buck a "G."

A buck a "G."

Get the f*** outta here.

- A hundred?

- A buck a "G."

Must be fine stuff.

It's monster.

Monster.

You know, we're gonna

have to score a line.

Check it out, you know?

No problem.

Just hang loose.

I'll be back

in about 15 minutes.

Hey, come here for a second.

You're not bullshitting us,

are you?

- You being straight with us?

- Yeah.

- No scam, right?

- Right.

Listen,

meet us across the street.

- We got a black van. Got it?

- Yeah.

All right.

Where you been?

I'm trying to sell

this necklace...

to those two dudes

over there in the black van.

OK? So if anything

goes wrong...

grab a lifeguard,

bring him over, OK?

OK, boss.

Those are nice.

Come on.

You ever done this before?

Yeah.

You got some

fine powder here, kid.

I'll go 150 for 2 grams.

I can't.

Best I can do is 350 for 4.

Let's see the four grams.

Give me the bucks first.

Pleasure doing business

with you, kid.

Yep.

We'll see you again real soon.

Depends on what my boss says.

He killed a person once.

Cute.

How'd it go?

No problem.

Well, did you sell it?

Mission accomplished.

All right.

It really makes you think...

we should all be

happier, doesn't it?

What would make you happier?

A couple of things.

Tell me.

Talking only jinxes it.

Don't you have superstitions?

No.

Although

the surface appears...

to be very fine grain

as you get close to it.

It's almost like a powder.

Armstrong is on the moon.

Neil Armstrong,

a 38-year-old American...

standing on the surface

of the moon.

That's one small step

for man...

one giant leap for mankind.

I think that was Neil's quote.

I didn't understand it.

"One small step for man..."

But I didn't get

the second phrase.

I want to hear that.

We'd like to know what it was.

The surface

is fine and powdery.

I can kick it up loosely

with my toe...

His quote was, "That's one

small step for man...

"one giant leap for mankind."

One giant leap for mankind.

First we go live to Paris.

- I take...

- My hat off...

- I take my hat...

- Off...

off...

Good night, Emmett.

Good night, Chris.

I would say it's certainly

the most fantastic event...

Beep...

beep, beep.

Oh, God. Jesus.

Oh, Joe.

You OK?

Yeah.

I haven't felt this good

in a long time.

Let me get us

something to drink, OK?

OK.

This yours?

What is it?

It's not mine.

Throw it on the chair.

You look tired.

Did you get in late?

Not too late.

I must've been asleep.

G.T.F., Christopher.

I'm gonna spend the day

with Buggs again.

All right. Be home by 6:00.

What for?

'cause I said so.

Whatever.

Don't forget.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- Where is everybody?

- Mom went shopping...

and Dad and Buggs went

to get a new muffler.

- Wanna go up to my room?

- Sure.

My mask.

I thought I lost that.

This is for you.

"Dear, Chris, I'm so happy

I'm your girlfriend...

"and you asked me

to go steady.

"I love you,

and I hope you love me.

"Lots of love. Termina."

Could it be

that I love you...

and you love me?

Chris.

It's OK. It's just us.

- You won't tell anybody?

- No.

OK.

You look nice.

So do you.

It's so much quieter

with a new muffler.

- Sh*t, it's your brother.

- What if he comes upstairs?

Then you're dead.

Oh, yeah. He says,

"Why do elephants..."

What was it?

Why do elephants have flat feet?

Why do pigs have flat feet?

Why?

From trying to be elephants.

Hold on, honey.

I think I got one.

God, they're hard to get.

- They run?

- They don't run.

Oh, come on.

Be still. It's almost done.

- This stuff stinks.

- I know it stinks.

I gotta touch it.

Door's open!

A gentleman drops by

to offer a lady a ride to work.

Well, a lady

gratefully accepts.

Splendid.

How you doing there, Chris?

Mom and me are trying

to have a heart-to-heart.

I'll see you downstairs.

OK, honey.

Listen, wash that stuff off

in ten minutes, all right?

OK.

Look how much

I've saved, Mom.

Now you can quit

that awful job.

Chris...

Honey, we've talked

about this before.

I'm real proud of you,

but that money is yours, OK?

So you keep it.

Just don't forget,

Joe's only on vacation.

You get a good night's

sleep tonight.

Hey, what a day, huh?

Just another day in paradise.

Yeah, that's sort of what

we want to talk to you about.

- You got a minute, don't you?

- Yeah.

- You still in business?

- Maybe.

We want to make another deal.

Look, man,

we're hitting the road, OK?

We want to make

a big score this time.

Listen, can you handle

two grand?

The boss trust you

with 2,000 bucks, kid?

Let me think about it.

Think about it fast,

because we ain't got much time.

Yeah, because we're out of here

day after tomorrow.

OK.

Here's our number.

Give us a call

if you can swing it.

OK.

Hey, who do I ask for?

Ask for Bobby.

Nice shot.

How do you like the shrimp?

It's great, boss. Thanks.

So, you guys got

the plans straight?

No problem, amigo.

OK.

Let me go make a phone call.

Take over for me.

Fifteen ball, corner pocket.

Good shot.

Hi, Bobby. This is Rebel.

Meet me at Garrison Bight

at 9:
30.

OK? Yeah,

I'll bring the goodies.

Have you seen Mom?

Taking a nap.

I guess you guys

are going hot and heavy.

Yeah.

I'll try and be

a bit friendlier...

if you and Mom

are doing more...

than just putting

the moves on each other.

OK.

I got to work now.

But if you want to talk later,

I'll take you out on my boat.

I got a fish run tonight.

OK?

OK.

What time?

I'll knock on your door

about 7:
30.

Pretty neat, huh?

You like boats?

Hate 'em. I was in the navy.

Did you ever go to Vietnam?
