Look, I'll catch you later.

Slam the door on your way out, all right?

Bye.

It's not what you think.

She's...

Tina's someone I know.

She likes to give people a bad time

sometimes.

Christ, what am I doing

defending this?

You're just a kid.

What the hell do you know?

For an adult,

you're pretty f***ing stupid.

Look, look.

Jennie, listen to me.

I shouldn't even be hanging out

with you.

You're so stupid. You're so dumb.

- You're so... You're so blind.

- Come on, baby, don't cry.

Well?

I think it's beautiful.

- Really?

- Really.

Well, you did it, you know.

You pulled a new song

out of an old burned-out case.

You did.

Don't say that. You're not that.

Thank you.

Well, I'm gonna show this

to everybody else.

And maybe we'll do it next week.

See you around.

Billy.

She's just not waking up.

I think she took too many pills.

Billy!

Come on. Come on.

Come on, Billy.

All right, Mooch.

Okay, Mooch, just back off.

- Mooch, come here. Come on.

- Let go, all right?

Okay, Billy, that's it.

Right, right, like that.

- Oh, Christ.

- Oh, God.

- Christ, somebody get the shower.

- I got her.

- Daryle, would you get the shower?

- Watch out. Come on.

Hurry up, turn it on.

Billy, come on.

Come on. Billy, come on.

God, that right hook.

We should have seen this coming.

You're gonna do what?

I'm gonna marry Frankie, Jennie.

He's already gone back

to the city to rent a hall.

Why?

Because I love him.

- You do?

- Yeah.

Frankie may not be rich

or well-educated...

...or refined and sophisticated...

...but he has many other fine qualities.

- He does?

Look, don't worry about it, Jennie.

We could still do the tour

because you cover for Daryle.

And what about you, Nickie?

You still in?

I don't know, Jennie.

Maybe it's just not meant to happen.

Yeah, I don't know, either.

Maybe it was just a dumb idea.

- You mothers.

- Hey.

Hey, Billy, come here.

Come here, I wanna talk to you.

Yeah, well I don't wanna talk to you.

- Billy, you all right?

- Yeah.

What happened, Billy?

What did you do?

I don't know.

One minute, I'm feeling no pain.

Next, somebody's slapping

me in the shower.

Billy. You know, you nearly scared

the freaking hell out of us.

I swear, you ever pull that again,

I'm gonna crack your head open.

- Well, that makes a lot of sense.

- Hey.

Billy, this is not funny anymore,

all right?

We're telling you right now, this is

the end of the line, okay? No more.

- I'm not going to tell you.

- No?

Well, listen, the infamous Bob Elden

phoned up this morning.

He's coming down

at the end of the week.

So, Jennie, I want you guys

to knock his socks off.

Which you will.

Hey, I've been thinking

about this whole thing...

...and it's really getting

complicated with the group.

And I don't know if we

can hold it together, you know?

I'm thinking that maybe

I don't wanna go to Europe right now.

- Well, what then?

- Well...

...I am thinking that I'll stay out here

and maybe move in with you.

If you want me.

- Lf you don't want me around...

- Jennie, Jennie, it's not that.

It's not that, all right?

I don't want you turning your life

upside down just to hang out with me.

You're really sexy...

...when you're trying to be a shithead.

- I'm being serious.

Well, don't worry, because this is my life

and I'll take the weight.

Okay?

- Hey, Falcon.

- Hey, Billy, how's it going?

Good.

So I hear we're gonna be

sort of related.

- Related?

- You know, like, I heard...

...Jennie's gonna be moving in with you

after the summer.

So you guys gonna get married?

Or you just gonna live together in sin?

What did she tell you, Billy?

Jennie's my best friend

in the whole world.

So make sure you're nice to her.

What happened to you?

I'm waiting for the tide

to come in and carry me out.

You see, the tide came in and went...

...when I wasn't paying attention.

And it left me stranded here.

Why are you drunk?

Come on, let's talk.

I'm waiting.

I think you should go on this tour.

I mean, I...

I know my friend's gonna love you...

...and I think you should go.

- I don't wanna go.

- Then I think you should go to school.

- Why are you saying this?

- I don't want you to pass up...

...on opportunities you've got

coming to you just to hang out with me.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Oh, Jesus, Jennie.

I'm trying to do the right thing here.

No, I mean it.

I think I'm gonna throw up.

Feel better?

- I love you.

- No, you don't, Jennie.

And you love me.

No, I don't.

You just happened to be there, that's all.

You're lying.

You're just lying.

I'm not. I don't love you.

You're lying. I can see it in your eyes,

Martin. You're lying.

Yes, you are.

I'm not lying.

You're lying.

You're lying!

Oh, what are you talking about?

Getting married is a very natural thing.

So is dying, but most people fight

to keep it from happening.

- There is no comparison there.

- I bet if you found a married person...

...and compared notes

with a dead person...

...you'd be very surprised at the results.

What are you...?

What are you doing, Jennie?

- I'm getting the hell out of here.

- What?

Why?

Wait a minute, did something...?

Something happen

between you and Falcon?

What is wrong, Jennie?

I have had it, that's what's wrong.

And I don't wanna do this anymore.

I guess I can't do this anymore.

From now on,

you can marry who you want...

...you can steal what you want,

you can kill yourselves if that's...

- I don't care.

- Look, Jennie...

...you know, we could pull it together,

we could go for the tour. Screw him.

Yeah, it'll be okay, Jennie.

It's not okay.

Yes, it is okay.

Because we're all here for you.

We are. We're all here

for each other, right?

- Right?

- Yeah, yeah, of course.

I'm not gonna kill myself

no more, Jennie.

And I'm gonna...

- I'm blowing off Frankie.

- You are?

Yeah.

I decided that Rome and London

and Bulgaria sound pretty good.

What Bulgaria?

Bulgaria's not in Europe.

- Of course it is, stupid.

- Your ass.

She's right, Billy.

Bulgaria is definitely in Europe.

How can frigging Bulgaria

be in Europe?

You're just agreeing

with her to go against me.

I'm not.

- I just happen to be right, Billy.

- You ain't been right in years, twit.

- Oh, right.

Have you ever been to geography class?

I've been there. I've read maps.

I know what a globe is.

And don't spit on me.

- You thought the pyramids were in Paris.

- All you do is...

Hey, Elden, I hope you're taking this in.

The kids love them.

Thank you. I'm gonna try something

a little different now.

- Yeah.

I love you!

Talk to you later.

Bunny Slotz?

Coming, Mooch.

Leave her alone.

- Get off of him!

- Come here.

Stop him!

Over here, faggots! Over here.

Get her!

- Look out! Get out of the way!

- Just get out of the way.

Oh, mama.

All right, you dirtbags.

Oh, sh*t.

Get the hell out of here!

I'm gonna kick your country ass!

- Sorry about the hassle and everything.

- That's cool.
