backwards. He meant to say...

- It's OK, Duckie.

- OK. You're sure?

I could clean up this parking lot

with his butt.

- No, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

- OK.

- Were you here long?

- No, no. Three, four hours.

You have a good time?

- Good. That's good. What now?

- Bed.

Yours or mine?

- Ours?

- Nice try.

OK. Can you at least

give me a ride home?

Yeah. Get in.

Can I put my head in your lap?

Can I rest my head

on your shoulder and let you steer?

- Get in, Duckie.

- OK.

These houses are amazing, Duck.

The first million I make,

I'll buy you one. I hate this song.

- They're so beautiful.

- You want beauty, look in the mirror.

This whole tape is horrible.

It must be, like, a hormone thing.

Every song is making me sick.

I mean, why can't I find

a decent song here?

- That was my favourite.

- Are you deaf?

The house!

Yeah. That's a nice little crib.

I wonder what it's like inside.

Well, what difference does it make?

You know what the really sad thing is?

I bet the people that live there don't

think it's half as pretty as I do.

You know, Andie, I'm just...

They just don't write love songs

like they used to. I...

I'm angry about this now. My evening's

shot. Just drive me home, now.

The reason I came over, other than I'd

been planning to come and say hello,

- I wanted to talk to you about Andie.

- Yeah?

She's an incredible individual.

You know that.

I mean, I'm there for her.

Whenever, however, I'm there.

You can rest assured

that she's covered.

I don't want you to worry,

because my only plans

are to make sure

that she's taken care of.

That's nice of you, Phil.

And I'd like to marry her.

Well, not today. But eventually, I figure.

Well, does Andie know

how you feel about this?

No confirmation on that just yet.

I'm layin' the groundwork.

I'm thinkin' in terms of

housing, food, basic needs.

But I'm picking my moment.

- I mean, you understand, right?

- Sure.

I felt the same way about

somebody myself.

A girl?

A girl.

I loved her and I married her.

And one day she just split.

Wait, this was Andie's mom?

Yeah.

So I haven't seen her in three years,

you know, and...

But I still love her

just as much as I ever did, you know?

You can love Andie, but that doesn't

mean she'll love you back.

It doesn't mean she won't, but...

What I'm trying to say is

you can't make it happen.

It either will or it won't.

- It's all in the heart.

- Yeah, sure. Cardiovascular.

Yeah. I understand.

I've been to school.

Well, I got an appointment with

a vacuum cleaner. Gotta go.

You're on a whole

home-improvement jag.

- Yeah. Turning the old life around.

- More power to ya.

If Tina Turner can do it,

Jack Walsh can do it too.

Thanks for taking your time.

I really... I appreciate it.

- My pleasure.

- I'm off like a dirty shirt.

Tina Turner.

Hiya.

We just got these glasses in.

They're really...

I didn't like that album

I got the other day.

What?

- The record.

- The record.

I thought it was a little too...

Too hip, maybe.

- Yeah, a little too hip.

- Well...

Think you can recommend something

else? A little less political?

- Lionel Richie?

- Nah.

Well...

- Teena Marie? Madonna?

- Madonna? That's awfully deep.

Yeah, very deep.

But she's got such great style.

Listen...

That's the alarm. Can you

hold on a second? I'll be right back.

Here. Read this. It's really good.

What is this?

Hi! How was your day?

Bet it pumps out about

- Did you do this?

- I'm not sure.

I was just using your powder room

and I decided not to disturb you,

so I was gonna go out the back door,

but I must have touched somethin'.

- How'd you get in here?

- Are you mad?

Yes, I'm mad! There are

public bathrooms everywhere!

I'm not nine, Andie. I know that.

It's the end of the month.

They're out of toilet-seat covers.

- Blane, what are you doing?

- Hey, buddy. Nothin'. Hangin' out.

- What are you shopping for? Records?

- I guess.

- Find anything?

- No, not really.

Are we gonna shoot some trap or

what? If we are, we gotta shake it.

I don't have any place to go. I like

coming here. Excuse me very much.

OK. I'm sorry for getting mad at you.

I gotta get back. See you later.

This is a shitty alarm system! I opened

the door five times before it rang.

That's it! I'm leaving.

I'm not gonna stay here. No! No way!

Hi. It's 6.05. Duckie Dale. Give me a call.

Andie, where are you? This is the Duck.

Give me a call, OK?

It's 6.28...

Please call. Please, please, please.

This is Duckie. Are you really home

and not picking up?

Cos if so, I feel like

a giant a**hole here.

It's 6.31. Give me a call, OK?

Duckie, I'll talk to you

in the morning. Bye.

- Why are you up? I didn't wake you yet.

- I'm fixing you breakfast.

One egg over medium,

and I fed the dog.

- Did Daddy feed you, hm?

- Your egg, madame.

I don't eat eggs, Daddy.

Why don't you eat it?

- I'll bring you your coffee and juice.

- OK.

- Since when don't you like eggs?

- Since about birth. Don't worry about it.

- You never told me why you were up.

- It's morning.

You mean why didn't you

have to drag my ass out of bed?

OK.

Well, I got a job.

- No?

- Yeah.

- Where?

- Well, I'll tell you after I start.

- When's that?

- Soon.

- I'm so proud of you. You got the job.

- No big deal.

Yes, it is a big deal.

It's a very big deal.

Listen, I gotta go.

I'm gonna be late for school.

- Tell me all about it tonight.

- All right. It'll be real good.

Hi, guys.

- How you doin'?

- Fine. You?

I'm OK. And you?

- Well, I just said I was fine.

- Oh, yeah. Sorry.

- So, is this your first time out here?

- Yeah.

I don't think I'm very popular

out here either.

I dunno. You're just fine inside.

I don't know. I'm not really

into all this sh*t, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I really liked your computer trick.

- Clever, huh?

- Terribly clever, yeah. Terribly.

- Are you late for something?

- Yeah, I am, as a matter of fact.

But it's no big deal.

Listen, do you wanna go out Friday?

Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Sure.

Yeah? OK!

- Seven o'clock OK?

- Yeah, that's fine.

Great. Where do you live?

I'll pick you up.

- Where do you live?

- No, I'm sorry.

I'll be working on Friday,

so just pick me up at the mall.

- OK.

- OK.

- Bye.

- See you.

Hey, Blane. How you doin'?

Hey, buddy. What's up?

- What are you up to?

- Not much, going to class.

Well, I saw you outside.

- So?

- So, what were you doing?

What are you? My mother?

Come on, I gotta go. I'll see you later.

- Blane, what's goin' on?

- Nothing.

Well, not nothing. I saw you talking

to that chick, what's her name, Eddie?

- So what do you care?

- My best friend is talking to a mutant.

I'm curious.

That's no reason to get defensive.

I'm not defensive.

I just happen to like her, all right?

Listen, all right. It's your life.

It's none of my business.

You really don't think

she's got something?

No. I really don't. I'm sorry.

You're gonna be late, buddy.
