The Cure Page #2

Why the hell not!

They were nice to me at the hospital,

they played games with me...

You played games with homos?

Just talk about something else...

Sometimes I don't know about you.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing...

Do you wanna play Nintendo?

No... I'm getting kinda tired.

I think I should go take a nap.

We should work on the mud fort tomorrow,

you want to?

Okay.

Leave it...

Why can I eat in living room?

I don't get home for dinner that often

when I do, I want us to be together.

It's part being a family, isn't it?

You know some woman saw that little AIDS boy

down at the Peterson's yesterday..

It's in the newspaper?

No... Jan told me...

I've seen him in the backyard,

I didn't know he left the house.

The other day I heard him coughing.

I said I heard him coughing.

Oh, I don't think you have to worry about anything,

with that fence there,

you're not going to catch anything...

What if wants to come over and play?

Oh Erik, think of some excuse,

you're so good at that...

What if I bump into him out in the street?

Well it's common sense,

you just keep a safe distance.

What's a safe distance?

7 feet,

guess that rules out sleepovers.

My mom wants you to come to dinner.

Well,

mom's working late, so... cool.

Well there's something

I have to warn you about...

What?

She likes to call me Sweetie.

Sweetie?

You gotta promise not to laugh.

You want some more carrots Sweetie?

No, thanks.

Are we ready for dessert then?

- I'll try a little.

- Yeah I bet.

You didn't even finish

your meatloaf, Love Muffin!

Would you shut up!

She's not gonna hear me sweetheart!

Be quiet.

You don't worry about it sweetie,

she's not gonna hear me!

Here we go!

Dexter tells me you have a girlfriend.

Yeah, well I did, but I have to dump her.

Spin, spin, spin...

His father has a girlfriend, named Cindy.

Yes, as soon as they get settled in

their new apartment,

I maybe goin' down there.

And how's your mom feel about this.

Actually we haven't really talk it out much

yet...

Well, I'd love to meet her.

She works quite a bit...

20, 22 hours a day...

What she do?

A real estate

and at night she works at a minimart.

The one downtown...

25 cents!

I got you!

Whenever I catch her twirling her hair,

she has to pay me a quarter.

25 cents and this!

Are you gonna finish that?

Well doctor says

"it's completely safe",

but when it comes to

other people's children,

we've decided not

to take any chances.

Forgot...

I've got plan...

Just as soon as they find the cure,

we're headin' out to Baskin Robbins,

and ordering one of those monster sundaes

where everybody just digs right in...

It's a good plan...

What is it?

She's afraid they might

not find the cure in time...

Banzai!

Oh my God!

He's afraid of heights...

Hey, what if they don't find the cure?

I'm sure they will eventually...

But what if they're looking

in the wrong place?

What do you mean?

Have you ever seen

that movie "Medicine Man"?

We found a cure for cancer,

and all you can say is: "I know"?

What is it?

Vermilliad. A flower.

You want me start eating flowers?

We're not going to worry about what

flowers, leaves maybe even pine cones.

It can't hurt to try!

My mom has me eating lots of vegetables,

especially broccoli.

All I ever eat is candy and I never get sick.

Hey, that's it!

Somebody gets sick and

all they eat is fruits and vegetables,

it's the one thing they stop eating!

This is stupid.

About fifty years ago, a doctor knows

some mold was growing on his bread,

he started feeding it to people...

and everybody said "this is stupid",

you know what it out turned to be? Aspirin!

It's still a hundred-point-two.

- How are ya feeling?

- Okay.

Let's start "Butterfinger"

combine with "Bubbelicious".

I am not sure I understand

why you have to try this all stuff too.

Don't you know anything

about scientific method?

Little.

You have to have a control group,

so you'll see if the results are uniform...

You're in control group?

Yup.

Hallo...

Is Dexter here?

Yes, he is, but he's grounded.

Why?

Because he used up all his money,

buying candy.

How long is he grounded for?

Till tomorrow...

Why's that?

We're gonna play submarine.

Grounded is grounded, so

you're gonna have to wait till tomorrow...

I understand.

Just a minute, okay?

Dexter, get your ass down here!

Why?

Coz I'm changing your punishment,

you have to play with Erik!

- Thanks mom!

- Here's your paddle.

Watch the flowers!

How are you feeling?

Terrible.

Told you candy was a stupid idea...

Hey, what'd ya think of this one?

I'm wondering about something...

Where do bugs go to bathroom?

It's not on leaves.

How can you be sure?

Because bugs eat leaves,

not even bugs are stupid

enough to sh*t on their own food...

Now, what do you say?

Go ahead...

Oh, tastes like crap!

No sh*t, don't you know

where bugs go to bathroom?

Sweetened crap.

It looks too weird...

You can't be afraid to try...

I'm afraid to touch it.

How do you feel?

Okay.

She's here!

Dexter?

You got me!

Dexter?

Is your friend Erik staying

for dinner again?

Wakkah!

That means yes, white woman!

Okay, hey, Allie.

Settle down! Go get some yogurt.

Wakkah!

You guys really very well nuts today!

Did Dexter take his nap?

"Oekoo"

Sorry.

Good night.

I need to take Dexter

to his doctor tomorrow,

we should back at one...

- Good night

- Good night.

Sh*t! The notebook!

Where have you been?

- I thought you won't...

- I asked you a question!

Gordy Johnson asked me

if I wanna go to the mall with him,

and I didn't think you'd won't mind.

Is that that doctor's boy?

Yeah...

You really should've left a note for me...

Maybe Gordy would like to go

with us to see the fireworks.

Maybe...

These are pennies?

There's one, two...

three... that's a dime,

isn't it? Oh, dear.

There!

Thank you very much, so neat of you!

Oh, my God!

The mysterious Dr. Fishburn derives the extract from a plant,

found deep in the Louisiana bayou.

At a backwater location he refuses to reveal...

I knew it, it was a plant...

The government's trying

to suppress its findings...

Bastard!

Why would they do that?

Because they're embarrassed.

I'm mean, think about the money

they spend each year,

and this Dr. Fishburn got goes out in his

backyard in his underwear one morning,

and picks up the cure for AIDS!

Maybe your mom could drive us down there!

It's right here!

I don't want you boys thinking that

something like this cannot happen,

but if it does and Dr. Jensen's gonna

know about it before the National...

"Examiner"

Examiner!

Why don't we call him?

No!

Why don't we wait till your next appointment

and you can ask the man!

It's for after lunch.

Like I didn't see that?

You say your dad lives

in New Orleans, right?

Yeah...

Maybe he can get that some

of that secret extracts

mail it to us...

Maybe it's already here...

That one again?

Yup...

I just don't like it...
