Well, Ray never was a reliable type.

He died when I was four.

Sorry, kid, I...

It's OK.

What do you think you're doing?

Well, that's not a good idea.

I'm hungry.

You're hungry? Angel is he still here?

I'm starving Mom, let's go!

Yah, it's still here.

I'm sorry.

I should have asked .

Is just that most of the boys your age

does not drink beer, Nathan.

Sometimes, Boon let me have a sip.

When we go fishing.

You call him Boon?

Sometimes dad, mostly - Boon.

He says titles are for government officials.

Hey, come on, let's go.

Boon!

Smoking is not allowed here.

Come on.

Sorry.

It's been a lot of years.

It has been twenty, that's how long it's been.

We did not know if you

were dead or alive.

Not a word.

Yeah.

At first I thought it was your father.

Then I blame myself.

I was seventeen.

You did better with Ray.

I never ment to hurt you.

He's quita a little charakter.

He watches your every move!

He's done good, you should be proud.

Yeah, he's something.

What about his Mom?

What did Nathan told you?

He said nothing.

She died of an overdose.

He's better off without her.

I loved you.

You didn't know me than well.

Who is your girlfriend, Lloyd?

See the great guy sitting there?

Hes my girlfriend's Dad.

Feel like smoking a bone later?

Might be.

Lloyd and me want to go to the movie.

So can I?

Shure. Why not.

You told her I was your father?

It just came out. I kinda look like you.

No you don't. You don't look like me!

Just a little.

You told her it's true?

No!

Hey. I'm not allowed to enter there.

Why not?

Here, come.

You broke low?

Several times.

Why?

For I was a little sh*t.

Never needed a reason why.

Jesus Christ.

Me neither.

Hey! you know better than that.

You broke em.

I know you're up to something.

I don't think it's right!

I ain't going in there alone.

I don't know , hunney.

I like that car!

Its a Plymouth Superbird.

Dodge Supercharger.

A 69 Torino. Totaly ugly.

You read these stuf?

Well, mostly I look at the pictures.

She's pretty sexy for a mam.

Yes, she is.

I can take Lloyd in a fight if I had to!

I thought you like him?

Shure.

I just think it is important to you .

What is your favorite car?

GTO. Judge. 69. Convertible.

Impressive.

Want that?

No. You got the real thing.

Good.

So what are they doin?

They're still talking.

I think hi's gonna moan the lawn.

I doubt it.

This thing had been electrocute itself.

Last year he was my little boy, and now

he is 13 going on 30.

He wants to hang out with all that big kids.

Last week, he invited this boy to

a supper and I swear ...

... it was like the Pope

coming to dinner - the way Lloyd behaved.

It was Wendy Ferguson's son Clay.

He will be sixteen in October.

And you will not gonna believe what I caught

him doing in the bathroom last week.

You know.

I think I have to tie his hands behind his back

so he doesn't injure himself.

Maybe you should talk to him.

Why?

From what you already told me he already has his techniqe done!

Boon, I'm serious.

Does Nathan?

I think he's well beyound all that.

Well?

Put some sugar. To make it smoother a little bit.

They're coming!

Nathan!

We are heading now.

Want to to go with them?

You will not like it, Mam.

Its just dumb asses and drug dealers.

Really? Then why don't you guys go watch the movie ...

... and ask all folks go sit on their swing and drink lemonade...

Good idea, mam.

Hey.

I want to treat Lloyd.

Let's see how fast you can spend that.

But its five bucks just to get in!

Since when?

Always.

And leave that .

My old man always made me

bring my own.

Give.

It's been in the fridge awhile..

I like to try.

I'll kep this.

Let's go.

You know what? I will walk with you.

I'm gonna walk with them.

Nathan, do not have time for that.

Why not go with them later?

Why yes. Ya, let's go.

Come on!

So you came here to see your grandfather?

Yep. I think he's dying or something.

Do not talk about it.

The old man Palmer.

You know him?

Everyone knows everyone in this town.

Can get all scary sometimes.

Whats your point?

Let's put it this way.

I don't think he will be missed..

Why didn't your Mam come with you?

She gets car sick.

You know they used to grow up?

My mam and your dad.

I know.

Did he loved her??

How am I supposed to know?

Yah, I guess so.

It's hard to know with Boon.

Not with my mam.

I wish you guys stay longer.
