George Washington Page #4

Man, I think I'll be all right. | This was my fault, man.

Man, George went crazy with you, man.

I ain't never seen him do like that before.

You ought to be | a boxer or somethin', George.

- You all right, man? | - Man, someone call my mom.

Man, someone get a towel. | I'm gonna wipe up this water.

George, man, what's wrong | with you? You crazy?

I never seen you do like that. | You didn't have to hurt him like that.

- Man, you're twice as big as he is. | - We was all just playing.

Weren't we, Sonya?

Buddy, what's wrong with you, man?

What's up, man?

He's bleeding.

Buddy.

Oh, man! We gotta think. | This is private property, man.

We gotta get him, man. | We can't just leave him here.

We can't... We gotta get him, man.

If we leave him here, man, | somebody gonna find out.

Man, if my dad found out, man...

- This is the worst! | - How will they know it's us?

Hey, shut up!

You're so stupid!

Man, it was stupid, man. | It was. It was stupid, man.

That's my boy.

I killed him.

I grabbed his head. I pushed him.

It's my fault he's dead.

I killed him.

Get that spider off him.

Ain't nobody gonna find you here, | Buddy. Don't nobody come here.

What do you feed that dog?

Gummy Bears.

What else?

Sometimes syrup on a bagel.

See, that's why that dog is | so doggone skinny.

You don't feed it enough. | Just nothin' but junk.

You need to go and find him | some real dog food.

This is real dog food. The dog's eating it.

- Come on. | - Don't look like it to me. It's mostly on the ground.

Hey, Rob, are you gonna go to | that union meeting tonight?

I don't like that job. | I've been there 14 years.

All I'm sayin' is, they might want you | down there for a little support.

Rico, he has put in | a bunch of money down there.

- Uh-huh. | - And you haven't helped him at all.

- I'm workin' there just the same as he is. | - I don't care!

- Go on down the road. Leave him alone. | - Nice workin' with you, man.

- Hey, take it easy. | - Bye!

What's that dog's name? | Or do you just call it Dog?

My friend Vernon calls it the Flash.

I don't like that name, though. | It gets on my nerve.

I hate that name. It's too goofy.

I think Buddy ran away | 'cause he still has a crush on me.

You have nice hands.

Some men came by my house last night.

Man, people have been talking.

What'd they say?

They wanted to know | when the last time I seen Buddy was.

Man, I can't do this.

I heard about the penitentiary, | man. I can't do that.

You didn't do nothin' on purpose, Vernon.

Don't nobody care about that.

All I know is, I can't do it.

And, man...

I just, I just want | out of this. All my life...

It's like I can't trust nobody, man.

All my life, people have let me down.

I just want to be by myself | and just think about this...

...and think about what I'm gonna do.

'Cause I know I ain't stayin' around here.

I just wish I had my own tropical island.

I wish I was... I wish I could go to China.

I wish I could go to outer space, man.

I wish I had my... Own planet.

I wish... I wish there were 200 of me, man.

I wish... I wish I could just sit around...

...with computers and machines | and just brainstorm all day, man.

I don't... Man, I wish I was born again.

I wish I could get saved | and give my life to Christ.

Then maybe He'll forgive me for what I did.

Man, and you... It's like you don't even | show no emotion, man.

It's like you don't even | care if Buddy's dead.

I don't understand you, man.

Man, I just wish | there was one belief... My belief.

When you walk around | with no one to laugh with you...

...or to hold your hand, | it's a different kind of walk, you know?

I would have never even thought of | the truth that George knew.

I seen through your skin | "and seen the words"...

...the things you done, | the chances you missed...

...the loss of all things.

Soon as the swelling goes down, | I think he's gonna be okay.

Keep the ice on it for another | 15 minutes after he wakes up.

Just like when you went | and got baptized in the lake.

That was stupid. Are you stupid?

I just wanted to save that boy.

You make me sick sometimes. You know that?

See, my first kiss was... | in the sixth grade.

- Uh-huh. | - It was with this boy Dimario.

He, um... We had been going out | for maybe two weeks.

- Two weeks? | - I mean, we had pop kissed before then...

Pop kissed?

- But it wasn't like a French until about two weeks after. | - A French?

You stuck your tongue | in somebody's mouth after two weeks?

- Yes, I did, okay? | - Oh, I don't know how to handle this.

- You are too young to be doin' that. | - Anyway, back to my story.

Okay. Sorry. Go ahead.

Anyway, it was after school, | and my friend Latrice...

...she was like, "Oh, y'all need to kiss, | y'all need to kiss, and I wanna see...

...it. "

And I was like, "Latrice, no, you can't. "

And then we went outside, away from | the candy store where we were standing.

- We went outside in the courtyard. | - Mm-hmm.

- And he kissed me. | - Outside in the courtyard?

- I gotta watch you after school, outside in the courtyard. | - Oh, goodness...

...please.

Yes?

Is this the home of George Richardson?

I'm sorry. He's in bed.

My name is Pamela Hurst.

Your son saved my son Tyler's life today.

Yeah, we all had a hard day today.

I understand there were some complications.

Yes, George is not supposed to | go in the swimming pool.

His head is very sensitive, | and he's not feelin' very well.

Your son is a hero, Mrs. Richardson.

George is not my son. He's my nephew.

I almost lost my son today.

I appreciate you comin' by.

Hmm, I remember a time I kissed somebody.

I kissed him on the steps. | His name was Charles.

I cannot believe I kissed him. | I just started goin' out with him...

...like five minutes before I kissed him.

You're fast, man.

And next thing, we was on the steps kissin'.

Lord, your cousin reacted really crazy.

She spit out her soda. It was terrible.

- She was laughin' at you. | - Yes, then we saw each other later on that night...

...and all we did was | kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.

Ugh, that's probably | why I don't like kissin' anymore now.

If somebody stuck their tongue in my mouth, | I'll have a heart attack. I...

...swear.

I can't stand that.

"Duh Da Nuh Na, a new kind of hero.

"George Richardson, | a 12-year-old New Street resident...

...saved the life of | an unidentified eight-year-old boy...

...yesterday afternoon."

"The youngster had fallen into the water | at the New Main Street public...

...swimming pool...

...while his mother was having | a picnic with friends at the nearby...

...playground."

"'Carelessness,' the mother blamed. | 'It's my own fault.

"'Thank God for giving George | the courage and strength to be such a hero...

He will always stand in my heart. "'

Why'd they put that picture of me | in my drawers?

That's what you were wearing | when they found you.

Oh, yeah. I didn't want to get my pants wet.

Don't worry about it, baby. You're the hero.
