Um...

basketball.

Mine, too.

Yeah.

So I plow through...

I grind to the end, you know,

and by then I'm

holding my breath...

as C.C. Waddles

to the front of the room, right?

And he stands right

next to Itchy,

and I look at him

and he looks at me,

and he waits about

a year and a half, right?

I had no idea what to do.

I'm horrified at this point.

So finally, he looks

at me and he says,

"Mr. Burns!"

So, yeah, straight. Ahem.

"Mr. Burns,

"In all my years,

I've never seen

anything like this.

Your speech...

has moved this

young man to tears!"

Whoo! Good night!

Ha ha ha ha.

That's it.

I love your imitations.

Oh.

You should be

on Ed Sullivan.

Oh, why not?

Why not?

Time for the girls

to powder our noses.

We'll be right here.

Right here.

Ahh.

Yes! I am rolling, Guns baby.

I'm just... I... I feel... ahem.

You better eat something.

You got to line your Stomach...

No, no, no,

I got a large capacity.

I'm just...

I'm just fine.

All right.

Ha ha ha ha.

Whew!

That was funny.

Ahh!

They just don't understand

Catcher In The Rye, you know?

I think

what bothers them...

what bothers them is that they know

that what Holden is trying to do...

is he's trying

to break through...

this accepted, unquestioned,

adult existence, you know.

And to get...

Excuse me, Gale...

Uh, and, um,

get to a place...

beyond where he can be...

he can be Holden and be accepted,

And... and not have the... the corruption

and disillusionment...

th-th-th-that just...

that seems inevitable, you know.

Sometimes I... I wonder

if we'll wake up one day...

and... and won't be

like holden anymore, you know.

That is really amazing, Sonny.

Really.

What's the matter?

Uh, nothing.

I'm just gonna have to...

have to go to the bathroom.

Oh.

Oh, I didn't...

I didn't mean...

Oh, just go to the bathroom,

for God's sake.

Please.

I'll just...

Well, what... what are you thinking?

Why... why are you drinking?

Why do you think

you're so f***ing amazing?

Just stop. Just... no.

No, God, please,

just don't... don't let me come.

Please, I'll go to church.

It's OK, it's OK, I'll get it up...

get it up... get it up.

Don't let me come.

Please...

a wonderful time.

It's too soon to know

Can I believe her?

It's too soon to know

Can I believe her?

When she tells me so

Is it all in my desire?

Orjust another play?

I was just...

I got something that...

I think I need...

help here, please.

Hey, what is it, man?

What's going on?

Oh,

God, man.

Jesus.

No, uh... uh... uh...

Man, that's not it, you know.

That's...

really, th-th-that's

not it, you know?

That's... that's... that's

not the way.

What do I do, man?

What do I do?

Well, you know, we got to think

of something, you know.

We... we... we gotta...

We gotta do something.

We gotta...

We gotta figure

something out.

We just gotta,

you know...

We got to get you

out of here.

Pack.

Golden

Teardrops

Ooh

I remember when

You fell from the eyes

Of my love

You made me reconsider

What a fool

I've been

And swear to God

I'll stray no more

By all the stars above

Golden teardrops

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh

You caught my envy

So, what happened

with you and Gale?

Nothing.

Thank you and good night.

Absolutely nothing.

Not a goddamn thing.

Nothing?

She frigid or something?

Oh, no. No.

Hell, no.

No, that would be me.

Yeah.

I f***ed up, pal.

How about that? I...

Instead of f***ing her,

I... I f***ed up.

You know,

'cause I couldn't get it up.

Really?

I thought you were

hot for her, man.

Oh, man, you know...

Sh*t! Sh*t!

She was it, man.

She was... the dream, the girl,

the beginning, the end.

She was everything.

The perfect combination

of sex and brains,

The one we're all supposed to find,

the one we deserve.

You know, everything.

I bet you make out with Buddy

like a bandit though, right?

Oh, sure.

Exactly, yes, yes.

I have no problem making out

with the ones that I'm not hot for.

No problems.

You know.

I mean, what is that?

Why... why... why... why...

it's like the opposite

of what, you know...

If I'm... if I'm hot

for... for... for somebody,

then, uh, then my prick

is just nowhere in sight, you know.

It's game over.

It's not gonna happen.

You know?

No, maybe you don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'll never forget the way

she looked up at me, man.

Oh, man.

Don't worry about that, you know.

It... Gale was a b*tch.

That was the trouble.

That... that... that's

all it was.

Nah, she wasn't a b*tch.

Those golden teardrops

For me

Those golden teardrops

For me

Those golden teardrops

I wish you'd been in Japan.

Best thing about Japan

was the women.

Uhh.

Uh, you'd have to say that

they're whores, you know, technically,

'cause you pay them,

but, I mean, it's not

like how it is here, you know.

It's not this "wham-bam-

thank-you-ma'am" kind of thing...

where you

feel dirty after it.

They... they... they

take their time there.

They treat you right.

Ah, if we were

in Japan right now...

Yeah, but we're not.

We're right here,

surrounded by Ohio,
