Paranoid Park Page #2

mister!

I will.

All right.

Hi, welcome to Burgerville.

You can order when you're ready.

Uh... I'll have two cheeseburgers...

and... a chocolate shake.

Alex, I know you're bummed and all.

But this trip to Corvalis,

is gonna be like a sure thing for me.

Dude but that's weak,

you'd ditch Paranoid for some girl.

Especially when she was denying you

the whole summer.

Yeah but dude...

I'm gonna get so laid this time.

And you should call Jennifer, I mean,

what are you waiting for with her?

What do you want?

What I really wanted was to go skate

with the hardcore freaks

at Paranoid Park.

All right, dude,

you can crash at my place.

Play video games. Call Jennifer.

Then we'll both get laid.

I didn't want someone

to damage my mom's car,

so I parked on the other side

of the river,

which was a safer bet.

Hey, kid.

Hey.

Your mom know you're here?

Yeah.

Is she hot?

Dude, I don't know.

You should bring her by.

Paranoid was great.

I could have sat there all night

watching the skaters

and the girls and

all the stuff going on.

The only bad thing was...

I started thinking about other things,

like my parents.

Hello?

My dad had supposedly moved out.

But he kept calling the house,

bugging us.

And my mom was

not handling it well.

And my poor brother Henry,

he was thirteen,

and he would get so worried

about stuff he'd throw up his dinner.

Couldn't handle the stress at all.

I also thought about Jennifer.

She seemed pretty determined

for us to be together. I mean...

... worse things could happen.

I just wish I'd like her

more or we had more in common.

Hey kid!

Hey! You gonna ride

that skateboard or sit on it?

I'm waiting for someone.

Wo. What's up?

You gonna ride this thing, man?

I'm waiting for somebody.

You're not gonna let me ride it.

I'm waiting for someone.

You know there's dead bodies buried here

... under the cement?

Isn't that right?

Yeah, that's true.

Come on, tell you what.

Let me ride the board,

I don't come back,

you can have the little hottie

right here.

- All right.

- Isn't she cute?

Hey... I'm Paisley, and this is Jolt.

Hey, check out Scratch.

Sweet, thanks, man.

Told you I'd come back.

Yeah, no problem.

So where you guys live?

Right here, man.

At the skatepark?

- Pretty much.

- This is our f***ing home!

How 'bout you?

With my mom.

You wanna ride a train, man?

You wanna get some beer?

All right.

How 'bout you guys?

We'll stay here, man.

He asked if I wanted to get some beer.

I didn't know about the beer,

but I really wanted to ride

a freight train.

Then later that night,

I drove back to Jared's.

I had to change out of my clothes,

they were so thrashed.

Say name and city, please.

Yeah, Tremain in Gearhart,

please.

Press one to be connected

at no additional fee.

Happy Citizenship Day.

So, how are things with your parents?

Not that good. It's official now,

they're gonna get a divorce.

That must be hard.

Yeah well, its out in the open.

I uh... heard about you and Jennifer.

Well, I think, everyone heard

about you and Jennifer. So...

Yeah...

That didn't last very long.

Naw, it didn't.

So... why'd you break up with her?

Why was I even going out with her,

you mean.

Yeah, that's what I mean, but,

you must have liked her a little?

Well, I liked her

a little last summer...

before she decided

I was her boyfriend.

Well with all the stuff

you're going through,

I guess something

like that could be hard.

Whatever. What?

Macy... you know there's just...

everybody's parents get divorced.

There's... other problems.

Bigger problems.

Like what?

Like... people dying in Iraq...

starving kids in Africa.

Since when do you care

about starving children in Africa?

Well, you know what I mean, just...

the little problems,

they're just all so stupid.

Not if it's happening to you.

Well... just all the stuff in general.

So... it seems like something

did happen to you.

No, you know what I mean, Macy.

Not really.

So, did something happen to you?

No... I just feel

like there's like something,

outside of normal life.

Outside of... teachers,

breakups, girlfriends...

Like, right out there.

Like, outside... there's like,

different levels... of stuff.

And... there's something

that happened to me.

I thought so.

Alex... Alex...

What, you just gonna walk right past me?

So, did you have fun

with Jared on Saturday?

Not really.

What'd you guys do?

Just hung out.

Well, I went swimming at Elizabeth's.

You should have come.

But, right, I guess that stuff doesn't

interest you anymore because,

skating with Jared is more fun.

But...

Whatever, shut up.

So... what are you doing after school?

Nothing.

We could do something if you want.

OK.

Cool. So, you gonna walk me to my class?

OK.

Come out.

Don't laugh.

The pants are a little too big.

Oh, my god. OK, I think that's

your sexiest look yet, Alex.

I need to get smaller pants.

But does it look good?

It's um... it's interesting.

You should try something on.

OK... change. You change now.

Oh my god.

Does it fit you?

No, it's really big.

Look, the straps are like huge.

It looks good.

It's all like, huge.

Shall we?

Take this. Take your shirt.

Give me... I need my clothes!

Go, move... get out.

I need my dress!

Can I have my dress back? Thank you.

Get out! You can't be in here.

I... stop.

Dude, that's not your board.

Yeah it is, I just got it.

What'd you get a new board for?

Because I wanted

to try something different.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

Why would I tell you,

it's just a new board.

Dude because I gotta skate with you

and I can't have some fag board riding

next to me.

Wow, it's not even a fag board.

Just drive.

Yeah OK...

Mm mm. I got boogie buns...

Is... is that techno stuff?

Dude, we should go check out

Paranoid Park.

Dude, I don't think I'm ready

for Paranoid Park.

Yeah but no one's ever really ready

for Paranoid Park.

This is News Break,

I'm Ken Boddie.

Was it a horrible accident

or was it murder?

Police are investigating

a grisly scene

at the central train yard

near downtown Portland.

A security guard was found dead,

literally cut in half

by the wheels of a freight train.

Police say there is evidence

of foul play,

but they aren't releasing

any more details at this time.

And at this point,

there are no possible suspects.

We are following this case closely

and will have more tonight...

on KOIN News Six, at eleven.

I know, I woke up passed out laying

next to the vending machines.

I don't remember anything

that happened that night.

Were you drinking?

Yeah. I have no idea what happened.

I thought this master plan

was supposed to work.

Hey you know why that kid's getting...

arrested?

Oh, yeah. He just got like caught

for pot or something.

I don't know. He's not gonna get

a fair trial, though.

That's my corndog, man.

I'm starving.

Will the following people please report

to the principal's office?

Jared Fitch, Christian Barlow,
