Stay Hungry Page #6

with you, buddy.

- You do?

- Yes, I do. Right now.

- Craig--

- Wait for me.

Just talk to Dorothy.

Chub, I want a bourbon here.

When did you turn

vandal anyway?

Now, wait now. I didn't have

anything to do with that...

and you know it,

but I warned you.

Those guys

are a natural force.

What did you expect?

What?

Well, that did it.

I'm through, you hear?

Fine. That's just fine.

You just back out and leave me

to pick up all the pieces...

and all my money tied up

in some two-bit jewelry store.

You can't get out now.

I can get out whenever I feel.

You have no concern

for obligations.

- You have--

- Obligations?

Yes, obligations.

To what?

To busting up the spa?

You owe this to me.

You owe it to yourself.

Don't you understand that?

What am I supposed to do?

I understand that you

got yourself mixed up...

with a bunch

of thieves, buddy.

Easy, boys. Easy.

Hey, easy.

Hey, give me a drink here,

will you, chub?

Hey, suavey,

there's supposed to be a show.

It's gonna start

here in a minute.

Now, you'd better go pry

that big fella away from Zoe...

or there ain't

gonna be no show.

There's gonna be a show,

all right--

Mr. Universe on the violin.

- Hey, does he take requests?

- Will he take his shirt off?

Will he show us his tits?

What the hell's

the matter with you?

He could crush you

like an eggshell, Halsey.

You are sick!

Now, who do you think

you're messing with?

I am messing with

a pencil-neck midget, I believe.

Hit me if you're gonna hit me,

boy, come on.

Wait a minute!

This is between Craig and me!

Shut up!

Come on! Cool it!

- He's gone.

- Get outta here!

Yeah.

Listen, let's get us

a drink...

and then we'll have us

some damn entertainment.

Good to see you.

Joe, when you play, you ought to

be up here, up front...

and you fellas

just kind of...

That's it.

That looks good.

Why don't you let

us take care of this...

and you look after

Mary Tate?

OK.

Too much alcohol.

Mary Tate?

Who's that you're with?

Lester,

how's everything going?

Well, hello, suavey.

I was just telling Mary Tate

here how fine everything is.

Except those damn Jap tools.

They are killing us, Craig.

They're cheaper than ours...

but they do not have

the life in them.

They don't have

the tensile strength--

- Mary Tate, let's go.

- They got nothing.

- Joe's playing inside.

- Well, I'm playing outside.

Glad everything's fine, Lester.

Fine? It's a hell of

a lot better than fine.

Lester, let me see your lighter

again, honey, will you?

Which pocket's it in, honey?

Look at this. Read that.

"Zero defects."

Zero defects.

Well, this boy Lester here,

you know...

he ain't got a goddamned one.

And you know what else?

There's only five other men...

in the entire state

with that pin.

Just five, huh, Lester?

Well, it's for my factory,

not just for me.

That's just terrific, Lester.

Isn't that terrific?

All right! All right!

Thank you.

Thank you, indeed!

Thank me. Thank you.

Everybody having

a good time?

- Yes!

- Good, good!

What? I can't stand

that racket.

Turn to page 93

in the green hymnals.

Sing now!

You dance divinely.

Come on, everybody.

Let's hear it...

for the Muscle Beach

Symphony Orchestra!

Sorry, Tom.

Sorry, fellas. Sorry, guys.

We'll get together

again soon.

OK.

That's it for tonight, folks.

Thank you.

Hey, Craig!

Come out and--

Would you give this check

back to our hostess, please?

- You can't quit now.

- I'll tell you what...

Come on. Let's give him

a standing ovulation.

He deserves it.

Hey, hold on there

a minute now.

You wouldn't want to have

an argument now, would you?

Hey, it's done.

- It's done?

- It's done.

- What'd you do to him?

- Kiss off. What do you care?

Put your hand

down his pants?

You've been ugly with me

all night. All night!

I talked dirty to him.

He wanted to be sexy,

only he didn't know how.

These people...

Come on. We're going in

to see Joe.

I don't want

to go back in there.

All right, we can go home,

and you can talk dirty to me.

You bring me here.

You ignore me all night.

You act like somebody

I don't even know.

You go back in there

and watch Joe!

Lester, here's your lighter.

Stay out of this.

She's had too much to drink.

You stay out of it!

I have not!

You have been acting the fool

all night, Craig Blake.

I'm through with you.

You're the one who's overdone

the drinking, boy!

Zero defects.

- Yeah, zero defects--

- Bullshit!

- Do you know where Joe is?

- Take it easy, will you?

Go away.

Lady, do you know

where Joe went?

What? Your friend?

I'm afraid your friend left.

He wouldn't do that

without saying good-bye.

Come

on now. Calm down.

Where'd he go, damn it!

He left!

Craig, this young person

is disturbing my party.

Seriously disturbing my party.

I know.

We're leaving right now, Amy.

- We're going. OK.

- Thank you very much.

Just a little excitement.

Don't worry about it.

I've seen it happen...

in service clubs

all over the world.

That shower makes me

feel so much better.

How you feeling, baby?

I'm leaving.

Baby, that was your

first party like that.

Now, you're bound

to be a little edgy.

I did it for them.

I wanted them to meet him...

And I wanted them to meet you.

Because you're so real!

You know?

You're so different.

Baby--

Don't touch me.

I was proud of you.

Now, can't you see that?

All these pictures

here on the wall...

these experiences

you said you had.

You don't want me.

You want another trophy

for your wall...

Baby, now don't go flying

off at the handle.

And I'm not one of 'em.

Mary Tate!

I loved you, Craig!

Mary--

I really loved you!

Can't we even talk about this?

Now wait! Wait a minute!

Where are you going?

You don't even have

all your stuff!

Stay out of my way.

I don't want to hurt you!

Baby!

Mary Tate!

I need you!

Baby, I need you!

Mary Tate!

Your mother's brother Henry

had this pet goat as a child.

He never got over it.

When he got out of college...

and it was time for him

to go into the business...

Henry wouldn't have

any of it.

All he wanted to do

was to be around goats.

So, your grandfather

invited him to leave home...

and Henry eventually

wound up in Jamaica.

He started that goat farm

down there with four animals.

You know what it is now.

Baa baa baa baa--

all over the place.

Now, the point is

that to make...

anything meaningful

out of a life...

it really doesn't

matter what you do...

only that you

do something...

and do it unsparingly.

Look...

Uncle Albert...

I appreciate this visit

and the bits of family history.

I'm just a little

strung out now.

Is that what you call it?

Craig...

why don't you sh*t

or get off the pot?

I suppose you're right.

What do you look at?

Squirrels.

I never had a goat as a child.
