The Wizard Page #3

back early 'cause...

'Cause he don't want my whole

life to be on the road, you know?

Yeah, well, don't you

have any friends?

I got tons of friends.

I got so many friends I don't

have room for any more.

Sure.

Well, don't you ever get, uh,

scared traveling all by yourself?

I told you.

I don't get scared.

Never?

Okay, we have $47.12,

which I think we can double, maybe

triple, by the time we get to Reno.

Now, look. I got these Power

magazines to help Jimmy,

so we can teach him the

secret tricks in each game.

Do you believe

in heaven above

Do you believe in love

Don't tell a lie

Don't be false or untrue

It all comes back to you

Open fire

on my burning heart

I've never been

lucky in love

My defenses are down

A kiss or a frown

I can't survive on my own

If a girl walks in and

carves her name in my heart

I'll turn and run away

Every day

we've all been led astray

It's hard to be

lucky in love

It gets in your eyes

It's making you cry

Don't know what to do

Don't know what to do

You're looking for love

Calling heaven above

Send me an angel

Send me an angel

Right now

Right now

Send me an angel

Send me an angel

Right now

Hey, pops, have you seen these kids?

Right now

Empty dreams

can only disappoint

In a room

behind your smile

But don't give up

Don't give up

You can be lucky in love

It gets in your eyes

It's making you cry

Don't know what to do

Don't know what to do

Looking for love

Calling heaven above

Send me an angel

Send me an angel

Right now

Right now

Send me an angel

Send me an angel

Right now

Hi.

Hey, turn that garbage down!

Idiots.

470,000 and climbing

on F1 Dream.

What is this kid,

some kinda cyborg?

Sorry, wartface, but, uh,

first you play, then you pay.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Who you callin' wartface,

weenie, huh?

Hey, hey! What's goin' on over there?

The three of you, huh?

What'd I tell you about roughhousin'

in here? I gotta spell it out!

Roger!

Roger, it's them again!

I got video monsters.

I got movie monsters.

I got graffiti-on-the-wall monsters!

I hate this place!

He's good,

but he'd never beat Lucas.

Lucas?

Nobody's better than Lucas.

Lucas is awesome.

Oh, really? And, uh, where

might we find this Lucas?

So, you the wizard?

No, he is.

This guy? I don't get it. Is he,

like, a poster child for someone?

For your information,

butt-head,

he's headed for the video

championships in Los Angeles.

Oh. Is that right?

Well, let's just see

how good he is. Guys?

Pick any game you want.

I'm good at all of them.

I have 97 of them.

You know all 97 of them?

What is that?

I don't know.

The Power Glove.

Geez.

I love the Power Glove.

It's so bad.

Yeah, well, uh, just keep your

power gloves off her, pal, huh?

Go ahead, Jimmy,

show 'em what you got.

Go ahead.

Hey! Hey, Jimmy!

By the way, I'm headed

to the championships, too.

Hey.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, come on.

I want to get an early start

in the morning.

Huh?

I know that this is,

um, not a good thing.

Hmm? What's that?

Corey and Jimmy

runnin' off, but, uh...

I just want to let

you know that...

I'm glad that I'm here.

Mm-hmm.

You remember all those trips

we used to take every year?

Go to the ocean.

California.

That was great. We'd stop at every

cornball tourist trap along the way.

Yeah. That's the best

I remember us all.

Yeah.

Jennifer was a kick, huh?

She and Jimmy together,

they'd both go nuts.

Ohh. I'm tired, Nick.

It's late.

What the hell am I doin' here?

I'm sleepin' with my father

in some dump on the highway.

Hell, you don't want me here.

Jesus! We can't even

talk to each other!

You're in your underwear!

I can't believe it! I cannot

even speak to my own father!

Mr. Cheapskate, he gets us a room

that does not even have double beds.

Ah, come on. I gotta get some sleep.

So sleep.

You really play this thing, huh?

That's right.

What's that one called?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Doesn't take much intelligence

to play that game, does it?

You should know.

Oh! Oh, sh*t!

What the hell are you doin'?

I don't believe this.

I got the scroll weapon, and I almost beat

Mechaturtle at the end of level three.

You got the scroll weapon?

Yeah.

He's losing his mind.

Come on, come on.

Jimmy?

What's wrong?

Jimmy?

Jimmy.

No, Jimmy.

What's the matter?

I don't know.

He, he builds these things.

It means

he hasn't gotten better.

Listen, Jimmy,

you lost yesterday.

That was one loss.

One guy.

Will you listen to me?

See, this is what

he does all day. Nothing.

Dang, we've come all this way.

Jimmy.

Jimmy.

That wasn't nothing.

It's me, Corey.

That's what it is.

He's jealous.

Jealous?

Over you?

Geez, Corey, you're so thick!

You're all he's got.

Don't you understand that?

Aw, you're crazy. He doesn't

even figure that way.

And what if he does?

And what if you do?

Do what?

You know what.

It ain't like I need

you weasels, you know?

And you don't have to

be acting like you need me.

What's the matter with you?

Yesterday, with Lucas, like I

was somethin' special to you.

Look, Haley, all I said... I told

you, this is a business deal.

I'm not gonna be responsible for

making him more of a basket case!

It's them.

The guys from the arcade.

Corey, we gotta get out of here.

Come on.

We gotta get out of here.

Come on, Jimmy.

Come on.

No, Jimmy! Come on, Jimmy!

Come on!

Hey, boy! Hey! Hey!

Hey, you little jerk! You took

us for 20 bucks last night.

Yeah, what of it?

You didn't tell us this mutant

was some kind of pro.

Pro? My grandmother

could have taken you.

Let's just dish it up,

all right, smart-ass?

Hey, it was a fair bet.

Let's see what

the little mutant's got.

Hey, leave him alone!

Give it back to him!

What the hell is this?

Corey, give them the money.

Yeah.

This is for interest, dork.

You go ahead.

You have yourself a nice day.

Thanks, kids.

Whoo!

Thanks for the hat, moron!

Jennifer.

What are they?

I always wondered

what he had in that thing.

It was her.

She was his twin sister.

They got down by the river,

Jimmy and her,

and somehow

Jennifer got too close.

Jimmy couldn't swim,

so he was afraid.

It was weird,

'cause she didn't go

downstream at all.

She just died

in a few feet of water

right in front of him.

It was really hard for Jimmy.

And for Nick.

Who's Nick?

My brother.

He was supposed to be

watching them for Christine.

Nick and Christine

didn't get along too well.

Because Christine was my dad's

second wife, Jimmy and Jennifer,

we were their half brothers, but

Christine didn't really see it that way.

After Jennifer died, well,

everything just fell apart.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

I'm gonna go find a telephone

and call my dad.

You're quitting?

You can't quit. Not now.

Look, the contest

is in three days,

and he hasn't even learned

half the games Lucas has.

I mean, look at him.

It's over, Haley.

You're a quitter, Corey. And I

don't care if you did like me.
