Tuff Turf Page #3

Synopsis: At the start of his senior year in high school, Morgan's father has lost his company, so the family moves from Connecticut, where they've been in the yacht club, to an apartment in the San Fernando Valley. Morgan has grown up in the shadow of his high-achieving older brother, and he seems to have a knack for getting into trouble. He also has a stubborn streak, so when he finds himself attracted to Frankie, the girlfriend of the leader of a local gang of youthful thugs, he can't stop himself from pushing her for a relationship. The thug thinks of Frankie as his property and sees the cool, urbane Morgan as dead meat. Is this a struggle to the death?

take this man.

Where am I gonna put it ?

Put it under the seat !

That's the first place

he's gonna check, man.

Nick, what are you

gonna tell 'em ?

Shut up.

Don't smile, Frankie.

You know, you may

be smart, Hiller,

but you're dead meat

when Nick gets out of jail.

Well, Frankie, I thought

you were going with such

a nice, respectable guy.

Yeah ? Bye.

[ Woman Chuckles ]

So there I was in front of

the review board.

Now, Mom, I am talking

about the entire review board.

Shaking-- Shaking like

a bloody idiot.

At one point, I was shaking

so bad, I was gonna rattle

right off the platform.

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, you still finished

fourth in your class.

Wait and see. In no time,

you're going to be the best

lawyer in the country.

Well, now, I wouldn't

go that far.

Golden boy, how you doing ?

All right.

How are you ?

Okay.

- You in for the weekend ?

- More or less.

-Can I borrow your car tonight ?

-Um, I don't know, Morgan.

I was thinking of

taking Mom out to a movie

until Dad gets home.

Well, I won't be

gone long, Brian.

I know that.

And under any other

circumstances, I'd let you

have that car in a shot.

Forget it.

Morgan.

I'll take care of this.

[ Disgusted Sigh ]

Morgan ? Morgan,

will you just cool out ?

Give Mom a break.

Just as soon as

she gives me one.

She already has,

and look what you've

done with it.

What do you mean

by that, Brian ?

I mean you cause trouble

wherever you go.

And Mother and Dad have spent

a fortune in trying to keep you

in decent schools,

and all you can do

is screw up.

Brian, I'm real sorry.

But you know I never wanted

to go to any of those goddamn

schools in the first place.

[ Tires Screeching ]

[ Grunts ]

How are you ?

Oh, man.

You--

How you doing ?

Where the hell did you

get Nick's car, man ?

His bro called my bro.

Wanted him to come pick it up

and he wasn't home.

So, here I am.

Your pants are still dry.

Here, let me give you

a ride.

I think I'd like to drive.

Don't you trust

my driving expertise ?

Yeah, but it's always

been like that, you know.

If I didn't follow

my big brother Brian's lead,

I was invisible.

Yeah ? It was the same

with my family, you know,

except my ma wouldn't let me

join a gang because Donnie got

his ass kicked so bad,

so she just outlawed it.

Yeah. What happens

if you break tradition ?

I don't know.

I don't wanna find out.

I think this is one

of Nick's favorites.

I don't know.

If you ask me, he's either

the toughest guy at Lawson,

or the stupidest.

No way. He went to one

of those brain factories

back East,

and I mean the guy's head

is totally crammed.

- Yeah, with bullshit.

- What's the matter with her ?

She's pining 'cause

Nick's still in the cooler.

You know how she gets

when she isn't getting any.

Yeah, well, if you ask me

she's got the hots for

you-know-who.

I saw the way

she was dancing with him

the other night.

Body heat on contact.

And I mean sizzling.

Let's go, Ron.

-I think the air's getting

a little thick around here.

- Frankie, I'm not finished yet.

Oh ? You are now.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Forget it, man.

She's bad news.

Come on. I just

wanna talk to her, man.

She belongs to Nick.

Come on, Jimmy.

Lincoln freed the slaves.

All I wanna do

is talk to her.

All I wanna do is live.

Hey, Nick's out.

Come on.

Get in the back, Jimmy.

Get in the back.

No !

I'll get in the back.

You !

Hello, Frankie.

Thank you, God !

You know, Frankie,

all I wanna do is

talk to you.

I just spent the last

20 minutes telling you

I got nothing to say to you.

You got it ?

Now let me out !

Let her out, man.

I just wanna work this out.

I just wanna talk to you,

you know.

Work it out, Frankie.

Go for it !

Go for it ?

We got nothing to go for ?

Look, you blew it

and now you have to pay.

Come on, Frankie.

Come on.

You don't mean that.

Yes, she does.

No, she doesn't.

[ Together ]

Just stay out of--

Nice smile.

Thanks.

But it still doesn't

change nothing between us.

I don't know about that.

I got a smile. I figure if

I wait long enough, I can--

Get lucky ?

Don't hold your breath,

Morgan.

This is amazing.

Look at the size of that one !

Wow ! Check out that lawn !

It's a block long

It's a golf course, Ron.

Ron, you're

an inspiration.

Tee-off time, huh ?

No, I think

we're gonna eat.

Eat ?

What, you have

a rich uncle or something ?

No.

It's Friday, juniors night.

These places

are all the same.

I suppose they won't mind

if I don't wear my furs.

Come on. Just straighten

up your clothes.

Jimmy, do up your shirt.

- I'll handle the rest.

-Am I completely hopeless ?

Of course not. Just don't say

anything but "fabulous" unless

they put a gun to your head.

Why ?

'Cause you just got in

from Europe.

You don't know how

to say anything else.

Okay.

Come on, Frankie.

Come on. Come on.

Here, put that on.

God.

This thing is so heavy,

Morgan.

Here, hold this for me.

I'll fix your button.

[ Groans ]

That looks good.

Want some lipstick ?

No thanks.

Oh, come on.

No !

All right, fine.

Put these on.

Do I look okay ?

Perfect.

Come on. Let's go.

Here you go. Look bored.

That won't be hard for Frankie.

She's always bored.

It's only good for about

20 minutes. So eat fast.

Come on.

Oh, God, Reynolds,

I'm glad it's you.

I feel such the fool.

I left it down in my locker

with my tennis rags. It's

still stuck with the racket.

I'm sure Patty and Alan

will vouch for us.

Love your suit.

Tre fabulouso.
