Going All the Way Page #4

---

Are you accusing Nina

of prejudice?

I'm not accusing

anybody of anything.

I should probably...

I'll just...

You know,

I never made a peep...

when you took out

those little Jewesses...

in high school.

I'm as broad-minded

as the next person.

But this is

a different story now.

Why is that?

Because you are a man now.

You are at an age...

when any girl might be

a potential wife.

And you know that!

Don't you play dumb with me!

I'm not.

You're not going

to marry her?

No, I'm not playing dumb.

You are going

to marry her?

That's what

you're saying?

You are telling me...

that you intend to

marry a Jewish girl?

What if I am?

Don't you know

what it means...

to marry a Jewish girl?

Don't you know what they have to do

before the wedding?

No, what?

The father,

the night before

the wedding,

he does it with

his own daughter.

It's part of

the Jew religion.

They... they...

they make them do that.

Mother, where did you hear that?

How did you come by

that little nugget?

It's common knowledge!

Oh, God!

The thing to do is just concentrate

on your art, right?

Forget all the bullshit.

Yeah.

F***ing "A."

Just concentrate

on your art.

Oh, Sonny.

You're terrific.

You really do

know about art.

Oh, you're the art, baby.

Did you forget the camp

pine tree pledge?

A pine tree man never ever

betrays another camper.

"And it came to pass...

when Onan went in unto

his brother's wife,

and had spilled his seed

upon the ground. "

Genesis 38,

verses 4 through 10.

"And the Lord slew Onan...

when he spilled his seed. "

My poor boy,

now you must be strong.

Stay strong.

Oh, Lord,

would you look down

upon this...

this fine young man...

in his time of trouble...

and help him,

help him to learn the way?

The true way.

Mr. Matthews?

Yes, son?

I was just wondering...

why the hell

you're in my room.

Your mother

has offered me...

the hospitality

of your home.

And I'm just here...

to do whatever

it is you need.

OK, son?

Well, good night.

Good night.

What are you doing?

I'm just throwing away...

some old kids games.

Oh, Sonny.

This might be something

you ought to save...

for your own kids.

I don't have any kids, Mother.

You will if you marry

the right girl,

settle down.

God save your

eternal soul.

Well, rocks

is my pillow

The cold ground

is my bed

The highway

is my home

So I might as well

be dead

I walked the wrong way

Seems I have

no place to go

My mother's

dead and gone

Father drove me

from his door

I got work down here

So I don't even have

a chance at love

I got work down here

So I don't even have

a chance at love

I was wrong,

gotta try

Before

my Jesus comes

Oh.

Oh, I love you, Sonny.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Oh.

Where you going?

Well, Harry Stapler's

taking me...

to the Brown County Fair.

I just came by

to say hello.

Are you seeing him

all the time now?

Well, I could see you

on Saturday night...

if you want to.

That would be good, sure.

We could do something...

somewhere if you want.

Well, I accept.

Bye.

I got

so much trouble

Sometimes I could cry

Good morning.

Am I serious about Marty?

I don't know.

What does that mean?

I like to f*** her,

and I like to talk to her.

Pretty rare combination.

F***ing "A."

She's going to New York too.

That about clinches it for me.

It's Columbia

and the G.I. Bill now,

that's it.

So, you're really

leaving, huh?

Yep.

I mean, why not, you know?

Getting it from

both sides here.

Marty's mother

is all over her...

For seeing

Asheiguhtz.

And Nina won't quit

with her Jewish remarks.

Such a load of sh*t.

Whatever happened with that ad agency

offer...

you had in Chicago?

I didn't tell you?

I flunked

the personality test.

You're shitting me.

No.

How'd that happen?

Well, they send you

this test in the mail, right?

And in one part of it...

you're supposed to draw

a picture of yourself.

So, I drew a picture of me,

you know, casual,

drink in one hand,

other hand in the pocket.

The psychiatrist

who graded the test said...

it showed a tendency toward

alcoholism and masturbation.

You believe that sh*t?

I guess I'll never make it...

in the ad world, either.

Ahh.

F*** 'em.

I'm heading to New York.

Greenwich Village.

All you got to do

is get the G.I. Bill.

Why don't you come with me?

New f***ing York.

Oh, hey, man,

I forgot to tell you.

Marty has this friend

who's coming down...

that she went

to college with...

who's apparently,

you know,

pretty hot to trot.

And Marty was thinking...

that we could fix you up

with her...

for that big dinner dance

saturday night.

Want to go?

Uh, sure.

You know, I mean, who knows?

Lightning could strike.

You could get laid.

Crazier things

have happened.

Good night!

Well, Monday, Tuesday

Work hard all day

Wednesday, Thursday,

no time to play

Friday is

when I get my pay

So I can go out

Saturday night

Sleep Sunday all day

That's right.

No, I do remember.

Actually, absolutely I remember.

You... you haven't changed.

No, no, don't change. Don't change.

Saturday night

Ooh

Ooh Ooh

You and me

I'm Sonny Burns.

Yeah, Son... Sonny Burns!

Sonny Burns.

Greetings and salutations!

Hi, Sonny, it's me.

Do you know where

we're going yet...

or when I

should pick you up?

Uh... oh...

Yeah, actually, you know,

I'm... I'm... I'm not... I'm not, uh...

I'm not... I don't

think I'm, uh, well, really.

You know, um, I haven't,

you know, I was...

I've... I've been really...

It's just been coming in in waves.

It comes and goes.

Just before y-y-you called

I was feeling... I was fine, but, um...

I'm really... I'm not...

I think it's something I ate, really.

Um...

you know?

Buddy, are you still there?

Yeah, Sonny,

I'm always here.

Isn't that how it is?

Well, listen, you know,

we can, uh...

I'm sure this won't last.

It's really, you know...

I'm... I'm just gonna

lie down for a bit,

and, um, and then...

and after I lie down,

uh, uh, I... I mean soon, very soon,

I'm sure we can go

to Hollyhock Hills or something.

So, is that all right?

Yeah, sure.

Hi, Harry?

It's me.

From the moment

you walked in

I knew

So, uh, now that

Nina's guy...

is taking her up to Max and Cutty's

for the weekend,

we're gonna have the place

to ourselves,

and I hear that Gale

is hot to trot.

So I think we may be

choppin' the tall cotton.

Tempted and tangled

by love

In the moment

I held you, I knew

You were meant for me

Oh, just to know the bliss

of one single kiss

Don't get up,

don't get up.

I just had to

powder my nose.

Well, you look, uh, great.

Thank you.

She'll be down

in a minute.

Here she is.

From the moment

I saw you, I knew

You were

a dream come true

As I still

feel this way

Until that day I'll

wait for you, dear

Sonny,

Gale Thayer.

Gale, this is my

good friend Sonny Burns.

Hi, Sonny Burns.

Hi. You...

Mm-hmm.

Gale, Sonny

is an ace photographer,

sports being

his specialty.

Really? What's your favorite sport?
