The Wackness
So, what's on your mind,
Luke?
Nothing.
I mean, I can
make something up.
Fine.
Make something up, then.
Okay.
Um,
- I'm having trouble getting laid.
- Common problem.
How old are you
again, Luke?
Old enough
to be getting laid.
Have you ever
gotten laid?
Two years ago, I f***ed
Katie Randall in Battery Park.
But she had drank
like two 40-ounces,
and the cops came
So, she was drunk?
Home girl weighs,
like, 60 pounds,
and she drank two
- Crazy Horse?
- Look, Dr. Squires...
- Call me Jeff.
- Look, Jeff...
Dr. Squires...
How much
do you need, man?
You're the one
who needs this, son.
- How much?
- A quarter.
Well, I can give you two eighths.
It's the same thing.
- That entitles you to another...
- Forty-eight minutes.
Forty-eight minutes. If you go now,
you're getting ripped off.
I'm just not feeling all this
feeling sh*t today, Dr. Squires.
Luke, tomorrow's a very big day
in your life. One of the biggest.
And I look at you
and there's...
There's just
no joy, you know?
Tell Stephanie
I say what's up.
Mmm-hmm.
Hey, you ever feel
kind of like a f*** up?
Buying weed from the same dude
that deals to your daughter?
- Stepdaughter.
- Stepdaughter. Exactly.
- Later, Mr. Squires.
- I'm a doctor, Luke.
Dr. Squires.
I met Dr. Squires
in the spring of '94.
First as a client,
then as a patient.
At the beginning we didn't
talk about much of anything.
I don't know why I kept seeing him,
to be honest.
But sometimes it's nice
to have someone to talk to.
Even if you're
just talking sh*t.
He told me the drug thing was
a cry for help. Maybe he's right.
I am Luke Shapiro.
I'm a drug dealer.
Hear my cry.
My occupation takes me to
exotic places like Brooklyn and Queens.
Now, I like it most in the summer
when no one's around. Just me,
the sweaty girls in their short skirts
with their breasts and their panties,
which I like to see
when I can see them.
I like fly ladies. I like tank tops.
I like short skirts.
I like my impure thoughts,
which go a little something like this.

Shapiro.
No, did you smell it?
You're holding it,
you smell it.
Well, I'm not... Listen, Mr. Bigshot.
You know all about expiration dates?
Just look at the jar
and tell me what you think.
I don't know.
Why don't you check it out yourself?
# Wipe the sweat off my dome
Spit the phlegm on the streets #
# Whether cruisin in a six-cab
or Montero Jeep #
# I can't call it
The beats make me fallin' asleep #
I hate high school
so I'm alone a lot.
Which is fine by me.
Sometimes it gets lonely, I guess.
But I don't need
high school friends.
One week they're listening to Kris Kross,
the next, they're listening to Pearl Jam.
I'm not like that.
I'm loyal.
I mean, I still listen
to cassettes.
But tomorrow
my life changes.
Tomorrow I graduate.
And then I go
to my safety school.
And then I get older.
And then I die.
Robert Samuels.
Shana Sewart.
Luke Shapiro.
Congratulations, Shapiros.
Lucas, aren't you
going to introduce us?
- Mom, Dad, this is Mr... Dr. Squires.
- Jeff.
- And this is my wife, Kristen.
- A pleasure.
And here's
your daughter.
- Stepdaughter.
- Stephanie.
All right, team.
Picture time.
Tuck the f***ing shirt
into your pants, Jeffrey.
- Hello. You paged me?
- Yeah.
Yo, I didn't know there was
a party tonight, son.
Yeah. It's the
graduation party.
- I just graduated.
- Yeah. I know.
Yo, could you
spot me 26 bucks?
- Take the sh*t, yeah.
- Good looking out.
- I don't want your f***ing $4.
- All right.
Shapiro, you always
come through with the madness.
This is gonna last us
till that first weekend in Amsterdam.
- You're going to Amsterdam?
- Yeah, man. I told you that.
All right, man.
Have a good summer then.
Yeah, I gotta bounce.
They're almost out of Zima.
- Yo.
- Shapiro?
Hey, Steph.
What up?
Hey.
- You want some Ritalin?
- No, no. I'm cool.
So, what are you up to
this summer?
Chilling. Making money. Why?
You wanna go steady?
Yeah.
Sure.
Ha, ha!
What are you doing
for the summer?
I'm interning
for one of Daddy's patients.
So, it's just gonna be like you and me here
all alone and all, all summer.
But we'll never hang out.

...what that is is a combination
of the temperature
and the humidity, those two combined.
So it'll be about 100 degrees today,
but it'll feel like 105 to 110,
and that's in the shade.
If you're in the sun
that'll add about 10 to 5 degrees,
5 to 10 degrees,
more hotter that it will feel.
No... I'll tell you
that much 'cause I...
He doesn't understand
What he doesn't understand
is what I don't understand,
which is I don't understand
what you're telling me half the time.
Your father lost
all of our money
and now we have to move to, well,
I don't know, somewhere poor.
- Oh, somewhere poor?
- We're moving?
No, no, Luke, I'm telling you,
I promise you we are not getting evicted.
- We're getting evicted?
- No, no. There's plenty of time. I'll fix it.
Oh, yeah, plenty!
What's wrong
with your face?
What's wrong
with his face?
Did you f***ing
scratch him?
- He hit me!
- I did not hit you, you goddamn liar!
She's a goddamn liar.
You never hit a woman, Luke.
The two of you are acting like
you're f***ing 12 years old.
- Stop cursing.
- F*** off!
- You see where he gets that mouth?
- Great. "That mouth."
- Thank you very much. Right.
- "That mouth" from your mother.
Republican political consultants
differ on the extent
to which Mayor Giuliani's support
of the President's crime bill
could hurt him
in the future.
I can't take that
from you.
- Where are you going?
- Somebody's gotta work around here.
