The Ghastly Love of Johnny X Page #7

As bad as I am,

you're even worse.

All right, let's finish this

thing, right here, right now.

We'll give 'em

the old cherry smash.

Let's rage!

Every bad deed we ever did

was because Johnny was

trying to imitate his old man.

You're the original

bad ass.

What we are,

you made us.

I'm just following

your example, pops.

I'm you!

No.

No.

No.

Johnny.

Soda.

Ole, Matador!

You almost got

yourself killed.

For your protection.

Gimme that- You cats

lay low, all right?

Stay out of my way.

Leave the suit!

Take the girl!

Now!

It's not Bliss!

Soda-

I warned you, man.

Tough break, kid.

Johnny!

Hey, I'm sorry

about this.

Oh, how I've

been waiting for this moment!

I got you, you cocky, cool

bastard! Traitor!

With this suit, I'll be the

Ghastliest One in the universe!

Ghastly indeed!

And for being such

a good sport,

we're sending you

and your crooning corpse-dad

on an all-expenses-paid

one-way trip to Hades,

where you'll enjoy a warm,

make that hot, family reunion,

courtesy of Sluggo!

Who's grinning now,

Mickey?

I don't know what

came over me.

We see you, Johnny.

We're coming.

Forget about me...

Save Bliss!

I died, son.

Hang in there, buddy!

Where'd you go?

Bliss!

Where are you?

You're a good boy.

You got

a good heart.

I want you to

follow it.

I want you to

find that girl.

And don't fail her

like I failed you.

I'm sorry, son.

I love you, Dad.

Oh, come on!

Sorry.

I never wanted

to go back home.

It's better to rule in Hell

than serve in Heaven.

I only did what the rest of

you didn't have the guts to do!

Get off me,

you banshee b*tch!

No.

Come on!

Come on!

Let's go!

Come on, I'm

standing right here!

I'm standing here!

Come on!

Let's go!

Come on-

let's go!

Don't you know it's rude

to leave a girl hanging?

Today has been a

day of unexpected sacrifice.

A day of lost friends

and family.

Let's remember...

that there is no greater love

than to lay down one's life

for a friend.

And when great deeds are

remembered on this planet,

one name will stand

above all others.

Our friend,

the soda jerk,

Chip.

He may have come off

as square,

but he never once

turned his back on a fight.

He never gave up on what

he thought was right.

Beautiful.

So may Chip's memory,

bravery

and sacrifice

be forever seared

on our hearts.

He's killing me.

And may the spot

where Chip fell

be hallowed ground,

for here lies...

one of Earth's most

noblest creatures.

I wish my mother could

hear this.

Why you no good

four-flusher!

I should have

known you just fainted!

You missed me

by a mile, X.

Once a soda jerk,

always a soda...

Jerk!

Oh man.

Am I a

Ghastly One now?

Oh, you'll be a Ghastly One

all right,

after I get

my hands on you.

Uh-oh...

Who's the skirt?

That's our Queen Betty,

the leader of our people

and the essence

of our planet.

Right on.

Jonathan Xavier...

Come closer.

Oh, that's not good-

She's using his full name,

that is not good.

Johnny...

I have been

watching you.

We had an agreement which you

have broken more than once.

Come on...

Which is why

you are here.

Look, I'm trying my best

down here, you know?

I am deaf to

pleading and excuses.

Young lady...

No tears nor prayers shall

purchase out abuses.

Nice try, doll.

Johnny, your father understood

this and accepted the terms.

Now you must

do the same.

Before you pass final judgment,

let me offer something.

This doesn't belong to me

and I want to give it back.

Someday when you have proven

yourself unselfish,

mercies shall

be given to you.

The unselfish act.

We're going home!

Hey babe, next time

you're in town

and wanna see the best show

this side of Mars, look me up.

What?

Oh, what's wrong,

honey?

I wanted to

be a Ghastly One.

Relax, little buddy, there's

gonna be more gangs, more gigs.

More girls.

Yeah.

Young man,

where are you going?

No offense, Queenie, but it's

Squaresville back there, man.

Bliss and I decided,

my old man was right

and we're gonna make Earth

our new home,

for better or worse.

Let's fade, baby.

To black.

Undisciplined, irreverent...

Tasteless!

Just like your father.

Far out!

I don't know about you guys,

but I feel like celebrating.

What do you say we

hit the road to Vegas

for a little wedding party?

Chip could be

the best man.

Do you mean it?

Here we go

Baby we're on our way

Drivin' 'cross the desert

just to have some fun

Here we go

Baby we're on our way

Drivin' up to Vegas-

Gonna have some fun

Yeah Yeah we're

gonna shoot some craps

Yeah Yeah and

play roulette perhaps

Tearin' up the town

until we all collapse

'Cause firstly

and lastly

There ain't

no more Ghastly One

Hey.

Hey.

Can we

give you a ride?

That would

be wonderful.

Just completely

wonderful.

Don't forget to

buckle up.

My hero.

Here we go

Baby let's break

the rules

Bop shi waddy waddy

Bop shi waddy waddy

Here we go

Baby breakin' all

the rules

Bop shi waddy waddy

Bop shi waddy waddy

Hey where do I

know you from?

Medfield High School

You played the drum

You were on the football

cheerleading squad.

And you're the one

who everybody said was odd.

I was kinda shy

And had a lot of zits

I had the biggest

hair The biggest-

You would always

sit behind me on the bus

But now I'll sit beside

you as you come with us

But firstly

and lastly

Yeah firstly

and lastly

Yeah firstly

and lastly

Ah-Uh...

I still am

the ghastly one!

Oh Johnny

Oh Johnny

Johnny...

That has got to

be the stupidest kid on the planet.

He actually likes

it there.

Can you believe that?

He wants to stay.

Undisciplined, irreverent...

Tasteless!

As you leave the

theater, folks, please be careful.

Don't let this happen

to your car.

Be sure to remove

the speaker before you leave.

If you should accidentally

pull a speaker loose,

please turn it in at

our snack bar or box office.

Thank you.
