The Place Beyond the Pines Page #9

You think I'm gonna sit there and

get f***ed up the ass all night?

And what happened

when you got home? Huh?

Went upstairs.

Tried to go to sleep, but I was

still trippin' like a mo'f***er.

Why, what happened to you

when you got home?

I'm cool, man.

Your moms was all

worried and sh*t?

Oh, man, my mom's...

I'm cool, man.

Really?

'Cause I saw that guy today.

What guy?

Your dad.

That's your f***ing dad.

When did he move in?

What the f*** you

talking about, AJ?

Just wanna know. I figured out...

What the f***'s your problem?

What the f***'s your problem?

Chill, dude. Chill.

What's your problem, AJ?

Just f***ing around.

Don't be so serious.

You got a f***ing temper, B.

You need to watch that sh*t. It's

gonna get you into f***ing trouble.

KOFI:
How was school, Vanessa? It was okay.

I had trouble with math.

Hey, what's the deal

with my dad?

What?

(SCOFFS)

What, did you like really

hate him or something?

What was his name?

I'm not doing this.

What was his first name?

I'm not doing this.

JASON:
How come Mom never

talks to me about my dad?

(KOFI MIMICS DARTH VADER)

I'm your father.

Search your feelings.

You know it to be true.

(LAUGHS)

It's her business to talk about

it, not talk about it, you know?

Grandma used to tell me some.

Yeah?

What did she used to say?

She said, like...

Just that he was,

like, an outlaw.

You know?

Sound cool to you?

I don't know.

He's not your father.

Not really.

Just some guy with a baby.

I'm your father.

Been there since you were born.

I will always love you.

Can you at least

tell me his name?

(KNOCKS)

Hello?

(DOOR OPENING)

Yeah?

I'm looking for Robin.

Yeah, I'm Robin.

What can I do for you?

Um...

I was hoping to talk with

you about Luke Glanton.

I'm his son.

You're Luke Glanton's son?

Yeah.

Well, come on back, get a beer.

Bet it's down here in this box,

if I remember rightly.

God.

That guy's your dad.

That's him there.

And that's the pig there,

the one that bagged him.

JASON:
What happened to him?

ROBIN:
Who, the cop?

Oh, forget about him, man.

Don't... Don't start there.

I'll show you good things. I'll

show you good things. Come on.

You are standing

right where your dad

used to stand

and we used to talk.

He was a good guy, your dad.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, those glasses.

I haven't seen those

in a long time.

They're his,

those goofy glasses.

These were his?

Yeah.

You can keep those. He would've

wanted you to have them.

Was he good at anything?

Yeah, he was the best motorcycle

rider I've ever seen in my life.

The best.

Yeah?

Best. Never seen

another one like him. Best.

He was like nothing. Rare.

Were you guys good friends?

Yeah, I think we were.

You still got his bike?

No, his bike's gone. Yeah.

Police took it.

I think they cut it up,

you know.

They were angry with him.

I know that.

They were real mad with him.

I can show you some other things,

too, if you want to see more.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Why don't you put

the glasses on?

For sure, he would've said

they were left there for you.

No doubt.

Put 'em on, if you want.

Go on, put 'em on.

Yeah?

Come on, I'll tell you.

Yeah. Yeah!

Yeah?

Yeah. You're calling him back.

(LAUGHS)

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

AJ:
Jason! Jason.

Let me talk to you.

Look, man, I wanted to say I'm sorry

about what happened earlier, all right?

I was a dick.

I won't deny it.

You lost my money, all right?

Like, that's...

I think that's all

I need to really

f***ing say, all right?

But I'm willing to

f***ing squash it, okay?

If you do the squashing,

I'll be the squasher.

I said I'm sorry, brother.

I meant that sh*t.

What you thinking?

Okay.

You dig?

Okay.

All right.

Dude, dude, yo, listen.

I'm having a f***ing party

at my pop's place tonight.

Dude, my pop's is f***in'

off-the-chain, B. Come along.

I can't do that, man, I'm sorry.

Why?

Can't make it tonight. You got

family stuff you gotta do?

No, but I got stuff I gotta do.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

Nah.

You wanna squash it, right?

We squashed it, man.

So then come tonight.

You want me to come

to your party tonight?

I want you to come to my party.

Is that what you want?

All right, cool, I'll see you tonight.

All right. Hold up.

I'll see you tonight.

Another one. Hold up.

Do me a favor, B.

Then we straight.

What you mean, no?

You gotta make it correct.

I'll see you, man.

Nah, nah. You're not...

Nah, nah, nah, nah.

We ain't seeing sh*t.

You coming tonight? Yes.

You copping my Oxys?

Yes. You got it?

All right, sounds good. All right,

It don't gotta be

$500 worth, you know.

Yo, J!

PHARMACIST:

CUSTOMER:

PHARMACIST:

(PHARMACIST CLEARS THROAT)

PHARMACIST:
How'd you make out

CUSTOMER:

PHARMACIST:
Made out pretty good.

CUSTOMER:
Yeah.

PHARMACIST:

(PILLS RATTLING)

Hey, Oxys! Hey!

All right, I got one f***ing question.

One question.

Ho-ho-ho!

Who wants some f***in' Oxys?

(ALL CHEERING)

Hello. There we go, there

Who ain't got 'em?

Who ain't got 'em,

Take it.

(VOICES ECHO)

AJ:
Everything's slowing down.

You lost?

They're looking at you.

Who... Who is that?

Is that AJ's dad?

I think so.

Is everything all right?

You okay?

(GLASS SHATTERING)

You got something you need to tell me?

Yo, what are you...

What do you gotta tell me? Huh?

You think I'm f***ing stupid?

Yo, get the f*** outta here.

You think I'm f***ing stupid?
