The Sunchaser Page #4

I worry about her growing up.

She looks nice. What's her name?

Calantha. Callie.

My mother's idea.

It's a nice name.

Yeah, I like a different name.

My homegirl's name was Leilani.

Leilani. I like that.

She was the one that got me shot up.

B*tch set me up.

You a pretty good father, man?

You'd have to ask Callie.

You could be acting the father role,

which maybe you're not, you know.

My foster father,

used to beat the sh*t out of me...

... and his other kids with his belt,

with the end with the buckle.

Every night

he could get his hands on us.

Sick motherf***er, man.

I should have peeled his cap a lot sooner.

It was always, "You little half-breed.

You little red n*gger."

I'm the one he always tied up.

I used to go crazy

when I heard him coming.

But I knew where he kept his gat.

A 9 mm Mr. Ruger.

So one night,

he put it to my foster mom real bad.

He tied her to the radiator,

made us watch that sh*t.

So that was the night

I killed his ass with his own gun.

I didn't even think about it twice.

Bam, bam, bam!

You gonna eat your food?

No, you wanna kill yourself,

be my guest.

How's that carrot, man?

Listen, Blue, I'm talking to you now

human being to human being.

Oh, you mean,

like an emotional conversation?

You could call it that.

Yeah, I like to sit back

and just conversate.

Well, if you want me to drive you

to this sacred mountain...

... or wherever, or whomever,

that's fine, I don't mind driving.

I just...

I want to see my wife

and daughter again.

That's all I want.

That's all... That's all...

Don't get so pumped up.

You're getting all pumped up.

You look like you're having a nic fit.

You want a smoke?

No, thank you.

I would like to urinate, if that's okay.

Go ahead. Urinate.

Thank you.

Shoot the ball.

Excuse me.

Hey, man, check it out.

Frenchman something or other.

I didn't notice the entire name.

It's a bar, a diner, for chrissakes.

I'm in Shitsville, Arizona.

How should I know?

Just get someone here.

He's got a gun, a very large gun.

You're a motherfucking liar.

- Help, help!

- What's the matter?

He wanted to suck my dick.

I was hitching a ride to the res.

He promised to buy me breakfast.

- Son of a...

- Oh, f***, just what I need.

Gentlemen, I am a married man

with a child.

Do I look like a homosexual to you?

Stupid motherf***er.

Goddamn it.

You f***ing son of a b*tch. I'll kill you.

Well, you can't suck his dick

but you can sure as hell suck mine.

Damn it, take it outside!

You know better than that.

Let's go, come on!

Come on, get him out of here.

- Take it outside!

- You f***ing f*ggot!

- Damn it, stay out!

- Lower than whale sh*t, get him up.

Hold him.

Hop in, shithead.

F***er! Son of a b*tch!

Motherf***er.

F***, come on, man.

Get in the f***ing truck.

Let's go, man.

We're gonna be running

the side roads from now.

You maniac! They were gonna kill me!

I thought you were trying

to talk straight up to me.

I should've taken you out

back there. F***.

Sh*t.

Oh, great. Now let's have a shootout.

Goddamn it.

Get behind the wheel.

If you could drive like that,

what do you need me for?

Because I'm dying, a**hole.

We got a 911 call from a Dr. Reynolds.

Mrs. Reynolds.

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm so worried.

Grandma, Grandma, Grandma.

Daddy's lost.

My girl, my favorite angel.

Wonderful to see you.

- Oh, well, now she's so big.

- Give Grandma a kiss.

Hey, Earl.

Come on, let's go pay.

Come on, move it.

I said, let's go pay for gas.

Hey! You goddamn fool,

that was all your money, right?

All the f***ing money.

- I'll beat the sh*t out of you.

- Go ahead and beat me.

Give me your watch.

Give me your watch.

Give me your watch, you f***ing punk.

I should've blown up your Porsche.

You sick motherf***er.

No, I'm the doctor.

You're the sick little motherf***er.

No f***ing way.

No f***ing way.

There's six rows of pumping

and a truck jamming...

... between us and the cashier.

Nobody's gonna hear nothing,

you know what I'm saying?

Give me the ring or you're gonna die.

I'll peel your cap, point-blank.

You go ahead and peel my cap,

you little bastard.

I'm afraid we're gonna have to go

30,000 rads, doc.

Make that 50,000 rads.

Strap the motherf***er in,

pull the switch.

God.

Oh, you're gonna have to die sometime.

But before you do,

I'm gonna tell you something.

Something this big OG once told me.

He was no regular person

off the reservation.

He knew where the animals go.

He knew where they were gonna come,

and where they were gonna go.

He was from Shiprock.

A full-blown medicine man.

We kicked it at night sitting at a campfire,

listening to him tell stories.

And one of them I never forgot.

You wanna hear it?

Sixty thousand rads!

Torch the motherf***er!

Oh, looks like you wanna hear it.

You see, long ago there was this family

that had two brothers.

One was small and strong,

the other was big and weak.

The weak one got sicker and sicker.

He was dying, he couldn't walk.

Take it.

So his family...

- It doesn't fit me anymore.

- They called for every medicine man.

Like from every reservation,

even the Utes and Apache.

But nobody could do sh*t about it.

Then, like, at sunrise one morning,

Mighty Mike.

this beetle climbed up

on the sick boy's bed.

I want you to do something for me.

Say yes.

So his family...

And they're fast runners too, man.

They chase the sun when it comes up and

run away from it when it goes down.

For me, Mikey.

Mighty Mike.

This beetle climbed up

by the sick boy's bed.

No.

They loved the sun,

these tiger beetles. They're tough.

And they're fast runners too.

They chase the sun when it comes up...

... and they run away from it

when it starts to go down.

The Sunchaser, he said a prayer

and he told the boy:

"Follow me to the lake

on the sacred mountain.

If you swim in its waters,

it will cure you of all your disease."

Sh*t. For four f***ing days,

the Sunchaser came at sunrise.

And for four days, he said his prayer

and made his promise.

But nobody believed the boy when he

told them about the Sunchaser's promise.

Nobody, except finally his brother.

He was small but he was tough, cabron.

He was the only one

that was really down for his brother.

So at next sunrise, the younger brother...

... rode with his older brother

on his horse.

They went from sunrise,

following the Sunchaser.

They rode for f***ing days

until they reached that mountain.

And when they did,

the younger brother,

he climbed up that mountain

with his sick older brother on his back.

You see it.

Do you know what I'm saying?

And he put him in the water.

And he started to swim.

And there was nothing wrong

with him no more.

Nothing at all.

I learned a lot of down sh*t

from that old medicine man.

May beauty be before me,

may beauty be behind me

May beauty be above me,

may beauty be below me

May beauty be all around me

I got a heart just like you do.
