Ten Inch Hero Page #7

...met some crazy ass surfers...

They made me smile, you know? For the first time since I had gotten back.

I bought a board...

...and changed my name.

But I swore that I would never...hurt another human as long as I'd lived.

I'm sorry I made you break your promise.

Oh, no

I said that I would never hurt another "human"..

So I'm cool with that, angel.

But, promise me somethin'?

Anything.

No more shitheads.

You know, like, date a...a nice guy.

The problem is...

...guys like that don't ask me out.

Well, maybe they could ask the wizard for some courage.

That's it, isn't it?

Courage.

That's why you won't ask Zo out?

You're afraid she won't like your past.

She's just all about love and...and peace, and...

I don't think she'd accept it.

I wouldn't know hot to tell her.

I don't think you have to.

Zo is in your yearbook.

Look...it's her.

Oh my God...it's really Zo!

Get out of here...

- She's cute!

- Come on, pass it back!

Ah....Trucker!

- How in the hell I missed that?

- I like!

Hey!

You can't hide forever, Anna ...

...or whatever your name is.

What do you want?

I want the truth.

You owe me that much.

So you came out here because you saw a picture of a girl you thought might be your daughter?

No!

The pieces fit!

Age, looks...

...artistic ability!

The mother told me that she was gonna name her Julia and that her husband's name was Noah.

Still, I don't see why you just didn't ask!

When you were vague about her past I assumed that was because you didn't want me to know that she was adopted

That sounds like wishful thinking.

Why would you lie about your name?

There aren't that many Pipers hanging around.

I was afraid you'd remember my name from the adoption papers.

Anna is my middle name.

Look, I never intended on becoming part of your lives.

I just wanted to know that she was okay.

But you did, Anna. You became part of our lives, and now it just...

...it just seems like a lie.

You know, I didn't want to give up my baby!

I was forced to!

I mean, what would you do if Julia was taken from you?

Wouldn't you think about her every day for the rest of your life?

- Yeah, of course...

- Then why is it any different for me?

I mean, why is my love for my child just a whim while yours is real?

Of course, you have your child, so you can afford to be judgemental.

All I have is the ghosts of two Julias.

I loved them both, and I lost them both.

So you always knew about...me being in the war?

You were 3 years behind me?

Of course I was...crazy for you.

All the girls were.

You never paid much attention to the freshmen girls.

Especially not nerdy, flat-chested ones.

You know, Trucker, no matter how much you grow up...

...sometimes high school is right there, bleeding dwon your neck.

That just blows my mind that...I was your high school fantasy.

It's true.

So, what did you fantasized about us?

Watching the sunset at the beach?

Sometimes.

Yeah...what else?

Stuff.

Tell me.

Trucker, my high school fantasy was...

...that we were in love.

That...by a mere look at each other's eyes

time would stand still

...and our hearts would forever beat as one.

I'm sorry it took so long.

That's okay...

Are you guys...?

Oh, ladies first.

Thank you.

- Good evening. Did you find everything all right?

- Yep.

- Your total's $9.75.

- Thanks.

Thank you. Have a good night.

- This sucks, dude!

- Seriously!

Here, I'll put the stuff back.

Wait, wait, wait...keep the lube.

You people are too naive!

So you're saying that Chapman did pull the trigger?

Affirmative!

Order up!

Wasn't it just a CIA puppet?

No, he was programmed, right down the line!

- No, no! The threat was over, man! By then he was just imaking love songs for Yoko, and...

- What?!

No, no...Lennon was coming alive again.

Reagan had just taken off, so he had to be taken out.

Exactly! Thank you!.

See? Genious!

- Can you hold this?

- Sure.

- Stay close, Julia!

- I will!

Okay, so here's the deal:

Julia and I took a vote, and there's a definite vacant seat in the family.

Job is yours, if you want it.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Only one ground rule:

nothing but honesty from now on.

I swear.

- Noah?

- Hm?

- That shirt's of a really nasty color.

- Okay, not that honest!

Hey, I'm just trying to get started somewhere!

- Hey man.

- Hi.

- Are you hungry?

- No.

Okay, huh...how can I help?

You're pretty.

No, I don't...I don't know about that.

I do.

Well, thank you.

You're very pretty.

And you're exactly how I'd hoped you'd be...

...Ladybugger.

I punched you, baby!

Gotta remember to lock off your computer, Jen...

Can we...

...can we go somewhere to talk?

Face to face, for a change?

I'd like that.

Huh...I'm Jeff Kenline, by the way.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Jeff Kenline.

- Hey, dude!

- Yeah?

Huh...where did you get "Fuzzy22" from?

Huh...I got that account when I was working on my senior thesis.

It was on fuzzy logic and I was 22.

Why? Did you think I was a cop or somethin'?

No, of course not!

That would be stupid...a cop!

Who says "a cop"...I mean, honestly, "fuzzy"...

Did you do that?!

Awesome!

So, one tuna sub...and a veggie sub.

- Huh, about...ten minutes.

- All right.

All right, what can I get for you?

Holy sh*t!

Miss Matheson, it would be my pleasure if you would agree to...

...accompany me to dinner tonight.

Depends.

On what?

I wanna know your first name.

Yeah!

Come one, gimme a break!

I went to Banana Republic, for Christ's sake!

Dammit!

Boaz

Can't hear you.

Boaz, all right?

My first name is Boaz.

- Boaz?!

- Shut up!

Can I tell you something, Boaz?

Okay.

This is something...I've never told to anyone else.

Yeah, of course.

Tish...

...is short for "Platisha".

Platisha?

Platisha.

It's good!

Oh, there's something I should mention, huh...Platisha.

And what's that, Boaz?

Well...you see, with women...there's never...I mean, I've never...

Don't try.

Is that a "yes"?

Yes, Boaz!

Dad!

- We asked you here today...

- It's all right.

- ...in this most sacred and beautiful of all places...

...to witness our dedication to each other.

We start our new lives as we started the last.

Naked and needing...

...dependant on those we love to care for us.

- Hell, yeah!

- Congratulations!

- Rock on, man!
