The Babysitter
1
I don't need it. I'm telling you.
Just because you don't feel sick now
doesn't mean you don't need the shot.
I never get sick, okay?
You can take that and give it to Barry.
-His nose is always running.
-What are you giving me sh*t for?
I saw you earlier today. We said hi.
I said, "Cole." You said, "Mr. Daisy."
Why are you giving me sh*t today?
I mean, it's just a needle, man.
Damn. Come here, get the shot.
Ain't nothing to be scared of.
There's 62 kids came here,
got a shot, no problem.
You come in here, take ten minutes?
I got 84 kids more to go. Okay?
We're boys. Be cool. Sh*t, man.
Are you gonna take this shot?
Step over here and take the shot,
just like you'd take some ass.
There's nothing to be scared of.
I'm not scared.
[Cole screaming]
P*ssy!
[school bell rings]
[Melanie] Did you know only one baby
was born on the Mayflower?
How crazy is that sh*t?
His name was literally Oceanus.
He didn't even have a nationality.
Just a citizen of the sea, I guess.
What class did you learn that in?
[scoffs] No one learns anything in class.
That's why we have the Internet.
[rap music playing over speakers]
[Melanie sighs] There's my dad.
[Melanie's dad] Melanie, get over here.
It was his high-school dream car.
He got it after the divorce
to make Mom jealous, but...
-it didn't work because it's a car.
-[Melanie's dad] Now.
Dad, can we give Cole a ride home?
Cole, are your parents expecting you
to take the bus home?
-I guess so.
-Yeah, they are.
So, you should take the bus, okay, sport?
Sorry, dude.
I'll see you, though, neighbor, huh?
-I didn't--
-What's that?
[engine revving]
-NASCAR Nation, b*tch. Whoo!
-[Melanie] Dad--
[Melanie] Dad!
[Jeremy]
Ooh-whah, ooh-whah. Ooh-whah, ooh-whah.
Well, well, well.
[Jeremy] Hey, Colonoscopy.
How's it hanging?
I don't know. Okay?
Well, speaking of hanging,
-[boys laughing]
-[Cole mumbling]
I didn't catch that.
I said,
"Why are you so interested in my balls?"
Last thing he cares about is your balls.
[Jeremy] Yeah, 'cause on Saturday,
I hooked up with Shelly MacEntyre.
The sophomore?
The sophomore.
But in many ways, she was a senior.
-I don't believe you.
-You don't need to believe him.
It's not like your belief will validate
what happens to his dick.
Wanna know how it was?
No, not really.
Well, see,
as a 14-year-old in that kind of situation
with a 16-year-old
that looks like Shelly MacEntyre,
it was overwhelming, man.
I mean, she is a woman.
Fully-developed, man.
It's crazy, man. It's... [grunts]
Man, you know what I'm saying?
I said, do you know what I'm saying?
You just said it didn't matter
if I believed you.
-Well, I changed my mind, b*tch.
-Sorry, I wasn't--
[Jeremy] Oh, my God. He's so weird.
[laughs]
Ooh-whah, ooh-whah. Ooh-whah, ooh-whah.
[woman] Hey!
Did you just touch Cole?
-So, what if I did?
-[woman] Jeremy, check it out.
You so much as think about Cole again...
and I'm gonna...
[inaudible dialogue]
The boys wanna be her
You crazy b*tch.
-[tire hissing]
-Now get out of here!
Before I run you over,
you little Pap smear.
-Hey, Coley.
-[Cole] Hey, Bee.
These are new.
Yeah, I have to wear them sometimes.
They supposedly help strengthen
my left eye,
-but I can't tell the difference.
-You look pretty strong to me.
You skin your palms?
-It doesn't hurt.
-Yeah, it does. Come here.
-They bother you a lot?
-No.
You look away when you lie, dude.
They the ones that egg your house?
[sighs, clicks tongue]
You gotta punch them in the dick.
And if they're chasing you,
wait until they've almost got you,
drop like a bag of rocks,
then when they trip over you,
and they're on the ground,
kick them in the dick.
-Hey, so, tell me, how's the folks?
-Better, I think.
Hotel therapy's working?
[chuckles] No, come on, it's great.
I mean, they're happy,
we get to hang out, and I get paid.
-I'm like your little Protestant.
-[chuckles] What?
'Cause, like, I have to pay you
to hang out with me.
Are you trying to say "prostitute"?
Oh, my God--
No, that would make me the prostitute
and your parents the clients.
That is a terrible analogy.
That is the worst one ever.
-Oh...
-Besides,
I'd wanna hang out with you either way.
Really?
One hundred percent.
I got two years tops before you're
too cool to hang out with me.
I'll never be too cool.
[Bee]
Hey, is that the roof of your tree house?
[Cole]
Yeah, we just started to take it down.
I-- I don't care. I mean, my, uh--
Tree houses are for kids anyway.
There's a lot of good memories
in there, right?
Yeah.
All right, tomorrow night. You. Me. Party.
Sounds good.
[gulps]
[Bee grunts]
[gulps]
E.T. fingers.
[both buzzing]
-All right. See you, Cee.
-Bye-bye, Bee.
[car door squeaks]
Gotta get that door fixed.
You're still giving this to me, right?
-One hundred percent.
-Can't have a sticky door on my car.
Hey, Mom!
[Mom] Hey! Cole.
Cole, can you hand me one
of those traps, please?
Ow.
-Thanks. Hi.
-Hi.
[grunts] Thanks, buddy.
[groans] God. God.
Mom, how can you be under there?
There's like a trillion spiders.
[Mom] Cole, I don't like it under here.
It's pretty much the worst.
-Do you think I'm a p*ssy, Mom?
-[thud] Ow.
[Mom] Do you know what that word means?
-[Cole] Yeah, like, afraid of everything.
-Ow.
Um...
Huh.
Well... [sighs]
I think... you are at a time in your life
where a lot of things are scary.
But as you get older, those same things
will stop frightening you as much.
Okay?
It's gonna be okay.
[Cole] You should really get some
bug spray to kill the spiders in there.
What have they done to you?
Hey, will you get me a lemonade?
-Yep.
-Thanks.
Mom, I know "p*ssy" also means "vagina."
I'm not retarded.
Cole Johnson. Do not say "retarded."
-But I can say "p*ssy" or "vagi--"
-[drill whirring]
Don't say it, okay?
Go get me a lemonade.
Oh, my God, he said "p*ssy."
[man] Breathe in. Breathe out.
-Unclench that sphincter.
-[Cole] Okay.
-Looking good.
Parking brakes?
Nope.
-Hands?
-Ten and two.
Engage.
[engine revs, fades]
Dad, did you know that seven teenagers
die a day from driving?
Really? Wow.
Did you know that, uh, 14 teenagers
die a day from over-worrying?
I went on the Internet,
and there's pictures of them.
They die like this:
Maybe next week.
All right, buddy, sure. You wanna swap?
-Yeah.
-Good. All right. You did good.
You started the car,
you put the seat belt on.
There's no rush.
It's okay to be scared.
It's not a big deal, okay?
Hey, let me ask you something.
Do your friends--
Do they make fun of you
for having a babysitter?
Yeah.
But then they see her
and get really jealous.
Yeah. Heck, yeah, they do. [chuckles]
I don't know about you, buddy,
but I'm feeling like a cop.
I'm craving some donuts.
[shouting]
