Where's your truck?

It's not runnin'.

- How'd you get here? Come on.

- I took the bus.

This's a great house.

Yeah, it's okay.

Wow! What are these?

That's just the crap my step-mom collects.

She's into prehistoric civilizations.

It's nice.

Yeah. Want a drink?

Yeah.

Scotch okay?

Yeah, sure. And we're

printing your rebuttal.

Great. Thanks, Donny. I know

it's not written all that well.

No, its quite good.

Well, you know I've always

liked your style. Its good.

All right, well, thanks.

I like the style around here.

Yeah.

You guys know each other, right?

Yeah, sure. Hi.

I'm gonna go upstairs

and get changed for dinner.

Okay.

See you in a bit.

What an arsenal!

The guns, yeah.

My dad. He thinks he's a hunter.

God, I don't think any of these

have ever even been fired.

Really?

Are you into guns, Donny?

Yeah, sure.

Come with me, I want to show

you something. Come on.

This one fires about

thirty rounds per second.

But it fucks up a lot. Guys in 'Nam

ended up using them as tent poles.

We just... you know,

I take it out on weekends,

shoot up old tree stumps and stuff.

Of course, if Ms, Hoffman had her way,

we'd all be shootin' rubber bands, right?

Here you go, check it out.

Hey, you ever play Hunt Down?

Hunt Down? No.

Its a blast. We play it every

weekend out at Hidden Hills.

You know, it's kind of like

this intense survival game.

You could be on our team.

Yeah. Well, that sounds like a good time.

It is.

Coming down to dinner?

Yeah, we'll be there in a second, all right?

Wait a second.

I just wanted a moment alone

with you to talk about Krooger.

Yeah.

I mean, I know he's a good

friend of yours and everything,

and I think he's a pretty funny guy.

It's just that...

sometimes he gets a little out of hand.

Well, he's a good guy.

Well, just between you and me,

Donny, he's going a little too far.

Patricia wishes to know

when we're going to stop by.

Should we commit to nine-ish?

Do whatever you want, dear.

Darling, I think we should make the effort.

Its been a long time since we've seen them.

You're our pool boy, right?

But you're based in Lomita.

Donny's part of the Magnet

School program, Dad.

Really.

- Yeah.

- Vista Verde must be...

quite a change for you.

He's the editor of the paper.

Well, that always looks good

on the college application.

You, are going to college, aren't you?

Yes, I hope so, sir.

If I can get a scholarship.

Maybe Randy'll give you one of his.

Hey, Randy, I thought you drove a 'Vette.

Yeah, it's in the shop.

I get it tomorrow morning.

This is my dads piece of sh*t.

You'll love this place, Elans.

It's a lot of fun.

I thought you had to be 21 to get in there.

I know the owner. Its cool.

Hey, Zeke, how ya doin'?

My friend Donny Lennox.

Great?

- Move, pal.

- Get away.

F*** you! Yeah, McDevitt! Over here!

Neal, where are my f***ing drinks?

- Randy... We gotta talk, man.

- Hey, buddy.

- You know, Donny Lennox, right?

- I'm serious.

- Hey, Randy!

- Hey!

- Hi, Jules.

- Hi, Nick.

I thought you weren't coming tonight.

No, neither did I.

Are you okay?

Yeah, it's just Randy pissed me off and...

Again?

Yeah. Look, I gotta go...

- catch up to him at the bar.

- Okay.

- See you later.

- Bye.

- You know, Donny Lenox, right?

- Yeah, I do.

Hi. How are you?

Come on, Neal. What's your problem, man?

Come on.

- What the f*** is Lennox doing here?

- I don't know.

- What have we got going here?

- Slammers.

All right, lets get 'em out.

Lets go, Ripper.

Here you go.

- Okay. You ready?

- You got one for Lennox?

- Okay. On three, ready?

- Yeah!

And one, and two, and three!

Come on, lets get some more.

- Chill out.

- Come on, Ripper, it's okay.

Dance with me. Come on.

Remember New Year's Eve

We sat around getting high

You were telling my life stories

It was cool to hear your lies

And I wanted to get through to you

Not have you living life through me

You're sitting around eight months later

Wondering why you just don't

get to meet, meet me

Come on, we got some more comin'?

What do you say, Donny?

Yeah, sure.

It's finally gonna hit ya, darlin'

I'm not the only drama in this town

Come over here for a second. You look good!

How you doin'?

You know my friend Donny Lennox, right?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Haven't I seen you before?

Yeah, he goes to Vista Verde.

Be careful, all right.

Come here, buddy.

Hey, cool jacket.

Thanks.

I just love thrift shop stuff,

but my mom wont let me wear it.

Well, I guess I'm just lucky.

I mean, everything is getting out of control.

I mean, look at Ripper...

Hey, stop whining, Brian. You

sound like a goddamn old lady.

Even Hoffman is trying to screw us.

I mean, you guys saw the editorial.

And I got my college interviews next week.

I said, relax. I'm taking care of it.

What the hell took you?

A little business.

Okay, about tonight...

Who's up?

Leon Biggs. I want that

boy to know we're around.

Lets stick to stage one, all right?

I don't want Lennox...

seeing anything he shouldn't.

What are you talking about?

Who's inviting Lennox?

I am.

He's the goddamn editor of the paper.

Exactly, Brian. We need him.

And he wants us.

It makes no f***ing sense to me!

So what else is new?

So what's Ripper like?

What? He's not that good?

You know, he's one of those kind of guys...

"Yeah, yeah, am I rippin' ya?"

"Yeah, you're rippin, yeah, you're rippin."

She likes to have fun.

- Does it sound like fun?

- Yeah, it does.

Want to dance?

I don't think so.

I have a jealous boyfriend.

I've got one of those, too.

It's a real drag.

You want to switch?

Sounds good to me...

Hey! You guys having a good time?

Yeah. Yeah, we are.

A couple of us are going out for a drive.

You want to ome along, Donny?

Come on, man, come on. Come on.

Be right back.

Lennox. How're you doing?

Great. Were old war buddies.

McDevitt!

I'll kill f***ing you! I'll kill you!

I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

Don't know who you're f***ing with!

Leave my family out of this, McDevitt!

I transferred! I transferred, McDevitt!

Leave me alone!

You were great, man. Let's get out of here.

See, the thing is, we know Leon's

responsible for a lot of the vandalism...

- and theft at school.

- Come on, man, its over with.

So what we're trying to do is...

just show him what it feels

like to have something trashed...

that you really care about. No one

gets hurt. No one gets turned in.

Just a message from the Sentinels.

Hey! A**hole!

Ripper!

Get back in the car!

Right here. Come on!

F*** you! Come on! I'm here!

Come on! Ripper!

I'm right f***ing here!

Ripper, we can't leave you there! Ripper!

Ripper, get the f*** in here!

Hold it. Hold it, Brian.

Ripper, let's go you f***in' a**hole.

Hey, Ripper, take it easy, man.

Get off me, man!

Hey, Donny. Sorry 'bout

that sh*t back there.

You don't apologize for me,

do you understand?

F*** you, Ripper, you a**hole!

Okay, slugger. Up and at 'em.

Come on, let's go, up!
