Ken Park Page #5

Synopsis: Ken Park focuses on several teenagers and their tormented home lives. Shawn seems to be the most conventional. Tate is brimming with psychotic rage; Claude is habitually harassed by his brutish father and coddled, rather uncomfortably, by his enormously pregnant mother. Peaches looks after her devoutly religious father, but yearns for freedom. They're all rather tight, or so they claim. But they spend precious little time together and none of them seems to know much about one another's family lives. This bizarre dichotomy underscores their alienation # the result of suburban ennui, a teenager's inherent sense of melodrama, and the disturbing nature of their home environments.

When I was little,

I got caught stealing a stuffed

animal at the amusementpark.

They took me to the holding place

on the back of a golf cart.

Can you remember

any of your dreams?

Yeah, sometimes.

What are they about?

Mine are about leaving.

Going to Hawaii or someplace.

Somewhere where I don't have to be

around all the people I hate.

Do you have to come back?

What do you mean?

Do you come back

and see your friends

or do you justnot come back?

That's hard because

it doesn't really happen like that.

None of this even exists.

Not you or Shawn or anybody.

It's just all me.

I can't dream of other places.

I can't picture in my head

what they look like.

Everything I think about

looks like here.

Why are you so ticklish, huh?

Why you so ticklish?

Stop!

Hey Shawn, have you ever read that

book "Island of Paradise"?

This island where the whole world

philosophy is about having sex.

They just sit around all day

and f*** each other.

-Shut up, man.

-No, I'm serious.

They came up with a way after years

to have sex and not make babies.

-How?

-I don't know.

But they f*** like 15 or 16 times

a day and that's their whole life.

It's like the best society,

nobody fights, everybody gets along.

All they do is f*** all day long,

just f***, that's all they ever do.

It's supposed to be some utopia

society or something, I don't know.

Okay, I'm ready.

Okay, you got one?

Yeah, guess who I am.

Man or woman?

Man.

Are you a singer?

No.

Are you famous?

No, not really.

Oh, that sucks for you.

Are you an entertainer?

No, but I used to be in aband.

Do we know you?

Yeah, yeah.

So you're a friend of ours?

Yes.

Do you skate?

Definitely.

Me too.

Hints.

No, wait.

Do you live around here?

No.

You're young, we know you

and you don't live around here.

-Hits, we need hints.

-I'm no longer here.

I know who it is.

-You're Tate.

-No, I'm out. I'm no longer living.

-So you're dead.

-Yeah.

-Why didn't you say so before?

-You have to guess.

-That's not fair.

-I hate this game.

I have no idea.

You give up?

You're not gonna give us

any more hints, are you?

-Who are you?

-Who the f*** are you?

Ken Park

gothis girlfriend pregnant.

Two.

He took a job working

at a hot dog stand.

Another day, another dog.

Do you want to keep it?

I don't know.

I don't want to be no baby killer.

Aren't you glad

your mom didn't abort you?
