Pitching Tents Page #7

---

when I ran from the cops,

I actually found goddess camp?

So you were tripping on

mushrooms.

Yeah, that's what I'd say too.

Come on, let's get out of here.

No.

Like the way he always goes,

"what?"

No.

Dude.

It wasn't what it looked like.

Yeah, what the hell

was your dick in a fish

sometimes it's hard being the

cool dude

that everyone wants to hang

around with.

I mean when the party's over,

I'm alone.

Alright, look stash, it's

alright.

It's not fair!

I'm the one who got those girls

over here,

and they're the ones who got

laid.

And now my reputation's ruined

'cause of one weak moment.

Listen, listen.

It's alright.

Okay, I'm not going to tell

anyone.

Really?

Yeah

swear to god?

I swear.

Alright?

Now, come on.

Let's pack up, alright?

All I got is the shirt on my

back,

and the weed in my pocket.

Let's go!

Man, let's go.

So...

Can I call you?

I guess so.

I think I have a pen.

Voila.

Okay, ready?

Go for it.

Eight six seven

five three oh nine

good one Jenny.

Three oh nine.

Listen um, after graduation,

I'm going to college.

I mean, just community, but

I can't have any distractions.

Community huh?

Well, you better have a lot of

will power.

No way.

But what's your real number?

Okay, I'll give it to you.

Okay, let me get out my pen.

What the hell!

Looky, looky.

Hey, what are you canoeing

in your underpants for?

You ever find your boyfriend?

Huh?

Ha ha, right?

Must of had rough night with

the boys.

How do you like coming to the

woods,

to see something like that?

Yeah, I just want to fish.

Yeah

everybody busting

dude, I think you ran a red

light.

You guys just take a chill

pill alright!

Alright, there's pot!

Hide the pot!

We're so busted.

My dad's going to kill me.

No, boys.

It's going to be okay.

Danny...

I think this'll makes us even.

Teenage underground

teenage underground.

I'm going to get you

this time, you little f***er.

What the hell just happened?

I think stash just saved our

asses.

These little

a**holes aren't going to win.

And we have a winner.

No way!

No!

You know what, this is

ridiculous.

I'm going to the bar.

What the f***!

Alright, wake up dudes.

- Pssst!

- Come on wake up.

Wake up!

I guess that's our, last trout

camp.

We could always be like

stash and go every year.

I'd rather lose my left nut.

Well, we're still gonna

see each other around?

Right guys?

Is this where we all hug and

cry?

Nah, I mean, we can skip that

right?

Please.

Danny!

Thanks for driving man.

Yeah, no problem.

Yeah man.

I hope stash made it home.

I really need some weed.

I can tell.

Who knows though?

Later Danny.

How'd the barn turn out?

Bruce

what?

Hey?

Yeah, took a drive up oil creek.

Imagine my surprise when I

saw your mother's car parked

on the side of the road.

Um.

You're trying to think of

another lie?

I can't believe I trusted you?

Calm down.

Danny, you lied to us.

Look, I'm about to graduate.

All my friends are going

to do something different

with their lives.

That might be the last time we

ever get together like that.

You know it might sound stupid

to you,

but it was really important to

me.

Well it is stupid.

You could have screwed up

everything I did

to get you into Bridgetown.

Bruce, Bruce, stop yelling.

I thought you were

different than your brother.

I can't begin to tell you how

disappointed we are in you.

Aw sh*t, did I miss it?

And here we go.

Thank you Burt.

Do something about that

emphysema, huh?

And say hi to your mom for me.

Danny.

You don't know what he

sacrificed.

Think he enjoys working

the night shift at his age?

What's that got to do with

anything?

He made a deal to work those

shifts,

in exchange for you getting

hired.

Now, you did not hear that from

me.

You don't know that, you

understand?

Yeah

so give him a break.

All he wanted was to make sure

that you're taken care of.

Okay, get some rest.

It was a long weekend.

You have a big day ahead of you.

It's a big day tomorrow,

for you, and for him.

The 1984

school year is almost over.

You're 18.

Technically, he can't ground

you, right?

It's his house, his rules, you

know.

I just got to lay low, let

the whole thing blow over.

Hey studmuffin.

Come on, let's go before my mom

gets home.

Later.

I know it was you.

We would have caught it

if we stayed in that spot.

I know.

But uh...

Thanks.

No problem.

Stay away from the dark side.

I will try master Yoda.

Hey, come on in Danny.

Nice to meet you.

Yes!

Mr. mulligan speaks very

highly of you.

Oh, well, he's um...

Thank you.

We're just having a

conversation.

Tell me why you think

slippery rock university

is right for you?

Hey frank.

Was I right, or was I right

about Danny?

Hey

you're here.

You look good.

That itchiness is going to go

away

after your mom washes it a few

times.

It's okay.

You've got some forms

you've got to fill out.

You got a safety video

you've got to watch,

so let's get you clocked in.

You gonna lean on it, or you

gonna run it?

Alright.

There you go.

That's you.

Everyday, this remarkable

device, the human hand,

helps make living, a very good

living,

for millions of people,

in thousands of different ways.

Hands work efficiently...

hey, sh*t for brains.

With the tiniest instruments,

and with great, powerful

machinery,

to do tremendous jobs...

it ain't all bad here.

You get used to the smell.

I kinda like it.

Hands get into close quarters...

You make money, you pay bills.

Sh*t, I almost have enough

saved up for a satellite TV,

I'm gonna be like 50 channels.

Machines and

materials, that are capable

of destroying or mutilating them

in one senseless moment.

There are several specific

kinds of danger in most...

you can always paint

your little supermarket

bunny rabbits on the side.

Deserves the greatest

respect and understanding.

Where are you going?

You gotta watch the whole thing.

Hey

what's this?

Um...

I'm sorry dad, I um

I can't do this.

You haven't been here

ten friggin' minutes.

I had an epiphany.

Like a light bulb went off in

my head.

I don't belong here.

Look, I'm an artist.

Oh, Jesus Christ, come on kid.

F***, you're an artist?

That's bullshit.

No, it's not!

All I have ever loved to do is

draw.

Well then, you can draw good.

So what?

It's not going to pay the bills.

Hey, hey, hey.

Look, you...

Put this back on your head.

Put it back on your

head, or I swear to god,

this is going to be the

sorriest day of your life.

I'm sorry dad.

You went through a lot to get me

in here,

and I appreciate it, okay, I

really do.

Danny...

no, I'm sorry.

I just can't.

You, hang on, you, wait a

minute.

Alright you want to waste your

life?

You're not getting a goddamn

cent from me.

Normally I get dinner and a

movie

before I get f***ed you little

sh*t.

Look Mr. mulligan, I'm

sorry, I didn't mean...

I didn't mean to screw

up at slippery rock.

The whole time you're working
