High Road Page #3

I just got a call from your

principal there, smart guy.

You know what he said?

That I'm a smart guy?

Hey. Hey.

Grab my weed. Grab all my weed.

Fitz... Grab all my weed!

Grab all my weed!

Fitz, you're sweating!

Oh, my God! All my weed.

I know. I've been running.

I sold Ramn

kind of a lot of weed,

and he just got arrested

by the cops.

And he's not a great guy, so...

Fitz, what are you talking about?

Where is it?

Everywhere.

Look everywhere. Everywhere?

I think I might

have to go to Oakland

for a while.

What are you talking about?

Oakland?

Yeah. I have some friends

that live there. For what?

Just to hide.

Hey, those are my sausage links.

No, this is hash.

You know what, Jimmy?

This is it. All right?

You're going to military school.

There it is.

Awesome. Thanks, Dad.

Finally. There it is. Done.

That's your solution for everything.

We talked about it.

You're bringing this

on yourself.

I'm not the one who couldn't play baseball.

It's all my fault.

I'm not the one who's out

there failing his classes

and skipping school.

You're going to military

school, and that's it.

Is this whole house

made of weed?

F***ing Ramn!

What are you doing?

I'm clearing away my stuff.

Hold this.

Help me! Sh*t!

Stop! Jesus!

How did I not see that before?

I don't know.

It's the f***ing cops.

No, it's the couch guy.

Well, get rid of him!

We're gonna figure this out.

It's gonna be okay.

Okay. Fine.

Get the couch guy.

I'll meet you down there.

Okay. All right. Thank you.

I love you.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Why is the garage door closed?

I can't hang out today, man.

What's going on?

This creepy guy was following me.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. I gotta go see

my friend in Oakland.

You're going to Oakland? Yeah.

Can I come? No, man. Take off.

Take me to Oakland!

My mom lives in Oakland. Please?

No. Jimmy, get the f*** outta here.

Hey, hey, hey.

This is the guy!

He's the molester!

Whoa, whoa, back up.

Get the f*** out!

You calm down.

And you back off!

This is my driveway.

Get the f*** outta here.

I'm gonna knock the sh*t outta you!

You're not gonna do sh*t!

Shut the f*** up, all right?

Okay.

Are you calm? Yeah.

I want you calm. I'm calm!

I'm gonna let you go.

You understand?

I don't want any trouble. Okay.

Where do you think

you're going, huh?

Hey...

Oh! Oh, God.

Dude, I just knocked

that f***ing guy out!

That's my dad. What?

He is a f***ing creep. He beats the sh*t out of me.

He's been on a bender lately.

You gotta take me with you.

F***, no, dude!

Get outta here! Take me to Oakland.

My mom lives in Oakland.

I gotta go to Oakland.

He's waking up!

No, you're not getting in the car!

Why?

No way! Please! Please!

Go! Come on! What is that?

Would you just... The honking!

No! No! F*** you! What? What?

What are you doing?

Why did you do that? No. No. No. No.

Why would you do that?

You need to get your game face on, all right?

You need to not

tell me what to do!

I can tell you what I want to if

you have a joint in your mouth.

You're gonna be sober

for this entire trip.

I'm always high! I know.

I'm pretty much freaked out.

I don't do well not high.

Whatever. I don't want you

driving me while you're stoned.

Sorry. I don't want you under the influence.

You need to get your damn game face on.

I have my game face on.

No, you don't.

You had a joint in your mouth.

That's not what a game face consists of.

This is my game face.

My game face looks different than people's.

Our step one

should be switching cars.

We gotta get another vehicle, because

we're in, like, a hot ride right now.

It's like Running Away 101.

They're gonna be chasing us

down in your car.

Simple vice aid.

I'm not basing

my escape from the police

on some f***ing video game.

It's a stupid idea.

How is it a stupid idea?

It makes perfect sense.

We can't be riding around

in the car that we left in.

You know what we should do?

Rich and Sheila are playing

a show in Bakersfield.

We should go switch cars

with them.

That way they can't track us.

Way to go, Fitz!

You're the best!

We're just gonna run through

some self-defense techniques.

We're gonna go

over knife attacks.

I want you to thrust at me.

One... block. Okay?

My hips are out

of the line of danger.

Two... slide up to the elbow.

Three... twist.

Okay. Let's try that again.

One, two, three. One... block.

Two... slide. Three... twist.

Adios, Anthony.

Okay? See how that goes?

Slide. Three... twist.

See you later, Steven.

Okay. And we're done, okay?

Hey.

Want to do it in full sweep?

Why don't you answer

your phone?

I got no pockets.

I don't have my phone. What's wrong?

Run some drills.

Cardio. Some interval training.

What happened to your head?

Yeah. I'll tell you

what happened to my head.

I went down to get Jimmy...

The kid has so much potential.

You don't have to tell me!

I know, man!

He's going off the rails!

Smart kid and...

I went to get him,

and I'm running his ass home,

because I'm sending him

to f***ing military school!

What's gotta be done

is gotta be done.

But then I get out in the alley,

and this f***ing drugger...

some drug-head

comes at me sideways.

Didn't see it.

Sucker punches me

with a f***ing brick

in the head!

Oh, goddamn.

I went down like a sack of rocks.

I'm f***ing embarrassed.

But as I came to,

I looked, and Jimmy is in the

f***ing car with this guy...

What?

...and they're taking off.

So Jimmy's been kidnapped?

Well, I don't know that.

Definitely been kidnapped.

That's what I'm worried about.

Maybe he was.

He's abducted. Okay.

Do you have some detective

friends I can talk to?

I do, but I

could help you, Jim.

I graduated the academy.

I can help you. I don't know...

I have interrogation

techniques, forensics.

I can do this. You run the gym.

I need a detective. Yeah. Yeah.

Come on. Let's do this.

You have anything?

Any leads? Anything?

Yeah. I got the license plate.

You got the license plate?

Yeah.

We're way ahead of the game.

Let me sign out of Facebook.

Also, I got a description

of the guy, too.

See? Already.

You see it's going?

Why is it so slow?

It's DSL. It does what we

need it to do in the gym.

Rich is, like, really cool.

I mean that in a totally

not-gay way.

It didn't even sound gay.

You said he was a cool guy.

If you don't think that sounded

gay, then this will sound gay.

If I had to f*** one guy,

it would definitely be Rich.

That was really gay.

If I did, I...

Okay. So, in not a gay way.

You didn't have to say that just because

I said the other thing wasn't gay.

I was gonna say it anyway.

You just had to top your

gayness for no reason.

I did not. That's what you did.

You ever heard my EP?

No. Finally. It's awesome.

I made this when I was 19.

First song is about my mom.

I heard you sayin'

I don't like romance

Well, I love, well, I love

It's not bad.

And I'm up on love

I'm up on love

Yeah, yeah
