The Kid Page #8
We got a present for you.
Look, kid. You don't have
to do this at all.
- You don't have to fight today.
- Come on. Hurry up!
No. If I don't
go against them today...
I'll have to fight tomorrow
or the next day...
and today,
you're here with me.
That's right.
I'm here with you today.
I can do this.
You can do it.
Don't be afraid.
Here I come!
I'll be right here.
What took you so long?
- Come on, Rusty.
- I just saw it...
- Yeah, hurry up.
- A big surprise.
It's really far out.
Come on, man. It'll be great.
Why don't you go?
- Yeah.
- It'll be fun. There's your present.
- Cool, huh?
- What are you doing?
- This stinkin',
three-legged dog is worthless.
We'll see him run.
Light the firecrackers.
Let the dog go.
You guys are dirtbags.
- What did you call us?
- Dirtbags!
- Good shot.
- Look at flabby.
- We rule.
What a dope.
- That was far out.
- Right on.
- Yeah, right on.
- We rule.
- Wait, Vince.
Turn around.
Oh, that's how it's gonna be.
- Come on, Vince. Get him!
- Stop it!
Come on!
- Get him!
- Come on! Get him!
- Up against the wall!
- Come on, Vince!
- Stop!
- Come on, wimp!
Are you gonna cry?
- One, two.
- Gonna run to your mom?
- One, two.
One, two!
- Say uncle! Say uncle!
- No.
- Apologize!
- No.
Say uncle!
Apologize!
Uncle. I'm sorry.
Yes! You won.
- Holy smokes! You did it!
- Yabba-dabba-doo!
Ha-ha!
Yabba-dabba-doo is right.
- You won the fight. You really did it.
You won the fight.
- I did it. I did it!
That's all!
I did what I had to do.
Everything's gonna
be different now.
Yeah, I guess so.
Over. That is all. Yes.
That's all, right?
- Oh, no.
- What?
It's not over.
This gets worse, kid.
Much worse.
What are you talking about?
I won the fight.
It wasn't the fight.
That wasn't it.
It's not over.
Ice on the eye, son.
Mr Branch, I put all
the reports on your desk.
Mom. I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry.
Oh, it's okay. It's okay.
I'm sorry you had to come in,
Mrs Duritz.
We all know
you haven't been well.
Please, don't punish him,
Mr Branch.
It's his birthday today.
- Mom, Daddy's home.
- Daddy?
Gloria.
What are you doing?
Are you out of your mind?
- I'm fine.
- Come on, dear.
- I'm fine.
Shh, shh, shh.
Get you inside.
You stay there!
Please don't scare him.
He's had a hard day.
Gloria, the doctor said
you weren't to leave the house.
- What is the matter with you?
- I'm sorry.
How could you do this
to your mother? What are you
trying to do, kill her faster?
- What?
- We're gonna lose her.
God, and you pull some stunt
like you did today. You're killing her!
I found the screw, Dad.
The screw.
- Stop cryin'.
- Here's the screw, Dad.
Look! Here it is.
Here it is. I found it.
- Just stop cryin'.
- Please, Dad, look at the screw.
- Here it is.
- Stop crying!
Stop.
You gotta grow up, now.
Do you understand?
- Yes, sir.
- Grow up. Grow up!
Mom's dying.
- I know.
- Soon?
Yeah.
Before your next birthday.
Did I do it?
No.
No, you didn't do it.
It's not your fault.
Dad was just saying those things
because he's scared.
'Cause he knows that he has to
raise you alone, and he
doesn't know how to do it.
Guess I'm starting up again.
- How come?
- 'Cause I just figured out
where I got that twitch from.
Somebody call
the "waaambulance."
Yeah. Yeah.
Gonna need 'em now, huh?
Come on. You wanna
get outta here?
Let's go.
Let's go get something to eat.
Okay. But I'm eating
whatever I want.
This is disgusting.
Let me have some of yours.
- Hey!
- Hey!
- You don't seem all that mad.
- About what?
That we didn't
change anything.
Like the fact that we're still gonna
have to fight Vince Kajinski...
every week
- Yeah.
- And we'll still be ugly
through high school?
- But not stupid.
- Not stupid.
And that we spend
our college years...
as a chickless, dogless jerk
with a twitch?
And still not have
a family when we're 40?
Yeah.
What's done is done.
Yeah.
But, hey, this is our birthday.
Okay?
Happy birthday, kid.
Cheers, kid.
Hello, boy.
How are you doin'?
- Who are you?
- Chester, come on, boy.
Did you hear
what he just called his dog?
Chester.
Can that...
be that?
- No way.
- Can't be.
Here you go.
You like the old plane?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
You did all this.
You put that plane
on my doorstep.
Yeah. Yeah, I thought that was
a particularly nice touch.
Yeah. It was.
I bet you got a lot of questions.
- Yeah.
- Well, I wouldn't worry about it.
You got 30 years
to figure 'em out.
Right now I gotta go.
Family's waitin'.
It was especially nice
seeing you again.
- I'll see you.
- See ya.
Bye.
Holy smokes.
We did it.
- Holy smokes!
- Holy smokes!

We're okay!

greatest dog!

Hey, a couple of questions.

And he soon departed
And you know he never
showed his face again
