Moving Target Page #2

Are you and dad okay?

Yeah.

We're fine.

Bye.

Bye.

You know, dad...

If you force me

To go through with this,

I will not

Be held accountable

For my actions.

It's your last chance

To redeem yourself

Before it's too late.

Don't slam the trunk.

I'll turn over

A new leaf.

Yeah?

A new tree--

Whatever works

Around here.

I want you to know

Something.

I know. It's all

For my own good.

I wish you'd stop

Being so good to me.

A deal's a deal.

But if you're not happy

With the way things

Are run around here,

You can always get

A place by yourself

When you get back.

Chill out, pop.

Get in the car.

Go on.

( engine starts )

( chattering )

What brings you

To interlochen?

The surf.

The surf? What surf?

We're on a lake.

I was misinformed.

( playing piano )

No.

No.

No.

No!

( cello playing )

You know what

Your problem is?

Yeah. I'm in michigan.

Ow!

I want to be here

With these zoids

Only marginally more

Than i want to die

Of malaria.

( playing tuba )

What you need is...

A woman.

( toby chuckles )

( telephone rings )

( ring )

Hello?

Hi. Megan. It's toby.

Hi, how's it going?

Lousy. Are the guys around?

No, they went out

To do some stuff.

What's it been,

A month already?

Yeah, time flies.

Are you having

A good time with the band?

Yeah. Thank you

For putting me

Together with them.

We are so hot now,

You're not gonna

Recognize us

When you get back.

do you want me

to have jeff call you?

( sighs )

No, that's okay.

( playing classical music )

( piano comes in late )

My score is marked

"allegro."

You have any idea

What that means?

Yeah.

It's italian

For "stuff this,

You little twerp."

Toby:

I don't know

If i'm gonna be able

To last five weeks

Until you guys get up here.

How about it?

How about you trying

To behave yourself

And learn something?

We'll see you soon enough.

Does that stuff

Go back to '72?

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Toby:
so, what's

happening at home?

trevor's letter said

things are getting weird.

Excuse me.

Well, for one thing,

We're not gonna be able

To get away.

Got a lot of work

To deal with here.

What? You just said

You were coming up.

No, i said somebody's

gonna come up next week.

Who?

I've got someone

In my office right now.

So, just hang in tough,

Okay?

( click, dial tone )

Joe, are we really

Working you this hard?

Comes with the job,

I guess.

That's just what

I want to talk

To you about.

I think this company's

In pretty good shape.

I have you

To thank for that.

Ahh.

I've been keeping my eye

On you lately.

You've been treating me

Pretty fairly, arthur.

No, i've been selfish.

I'm going to change

All that.

I'm going to...

( chuckles )

Share the wealth.

That's why i'd like

To have you come out

To the house this weekend.

I have some friends

Coming to town,

People that are

Good to know.

Business friends?

Very good ones.

I'm sorry, i can't

Make it this weekend.

That's a shame.

Woman on intercom:

fred dobbins, line one.

he says he's your realtor.

Are you moving?

Just thinking about it,

That's all.

If you need any help

With your financing,

( chuckles )

Just let me know.

I appreciate it.

I really would

Like to have you

Meet my friends.

I wish i could,

But i'm sorry,

I can't, arthur.

Yeah. Some other

Time perhaps.

Yeah, thanks.

( chattering,

Flute playing )

Hey, tobe.

Hey, tobe!

In l.a. Called bazooka?

Yeah.

You sure?

Yeah. Why?

News from home--

You're a hit.

Hey, hey, hey.

I hope you're not

Thinking what i hope

You're not thinking.

Want to bet?

You can't just walk out.

Watch me.

Your parents are

Gonna hatch a brick.

This place ain't cheap.

So i'll pay 'em back.

You'll never work

In this town again.

Don't tell anybody this,

But i was starting

To like this place.

I'll see you

At carnegie hall.

Don't get caught.

They'll never

Take me alive.

( police radio chatter )

Has anyone seen

Toby kellogg?

Whoa.

P.a.:
passengers arriving

may claim their baggage

at carousel 4d.

Toby:
hey.

Got your message, bud.

Welcome back.

Hey, uh...

Wanna explain this?

We made the headlines,

Dude.

"we"? You and who else?

We were misquoted.

I didn't even know

The guy was a reporter.

What are you

So ticked off about?

He could have said

We stunk.

That's not the point.

I don't see

My name here.

Where do i fit in?

What are you talking about?

It's our band, remember?

It's even more yours

Than mine.

So, where do you

Think you fit in?

What about

Peppermint patty?

Megan's out.

You're breaking my heart.

Would you quit being

Such a bonehead?

She worked her tail off

Because of you.

She was afraid to let you down

Since you were the only one

Who wanted her

In the first place.

She's pretty good,

Isn't she?

Yeah.

Then why do you

Want to let her go?

Idiot.

Was it good a good flight?

It wasn't bad.

I'm gonna get creamed.

Hey.

You're a kid,

You screwed up.

How bad can it be?

If they let me contact

The outside world,

I'll be in touch.

Better not count on me

Going to that party

Tonight, bro.

I wasn't.

Take it easy.

Later, bro.

Thanks a lot.
