Tuff Turf Page #5

[ Scoffs ]

Look, we don't do it...

until I say it's okay,

remember ?

Now's not okay,

all right ?

Okay.

What ?

What are you doing ?

Not now.

[ Exasperated Sigh ]

dd[ Rock ]

Hey, turn it up !

[ Chattering, Laughter ]

That's a classic tune, huh ?

[ Water Stops Running ]

dd[ Continues ]

dd[ Stops ]

What's up,maricon ?

Hey.

[ Keys Jingling ]

Oh. Come on.

All right.

Come on,maricon.

Show us you're a man.

Stay down, man.

All right. All right.

All right.

All right, man.

All right.

Okay. Come on.

Whoo.

Nasty.

I don't know.

I thought you were

a smart guy.

[ Sighs ]

[ Groaning ]

That... is for

being stupid...

and messing around

with my property.

Let's go.

[ Groaning ]

Hi.

Hi. Oh, you have

some more of that ?

No, that's it.

Nice try.

How's it going ?

Oh, it's not bad.

Actually, California

real estate laws...

are remarkably similar

to Connecticut's.

Good.

I don't think the test

is going to be any problem.

Morgan home yet ?

Haven't seen him.

He's probably out

with his friends.

[ Door Opens ]

Morgan ?

Morgan !

I'll check on him.

Good God.

Are you all right ?

Yes, I'm all right.

What happened ?

Same thing

that always happens.

I screwed up.

[ Sighs ]

You wanna talk about it ?

Look, Morgan.

I know that this move

has been difficult for you.

It hasn't been easy

for any of us.

I'd like to think that

if you're having problems,

you'd come and talk

to me about it.

And say what, Dad ?

The prodigal son's

in trouble again ?

He can't cut it,

rich or poor.

Come on, Dad. You know,

we've been through this.

I'm not Brian.

I can't live my life

like that.

All right. Knock it off !

Just-- Just cut out

that self-pitying crap.

I don't want you to be Brian.

I want you to be you.

All right.

So you screwed up.

So what ? I expect you

to make mistakes.

That's what life's all about,

for God's sakes.

How else are you

gonna learn who you are

and what you believe in ?

What do I do right now ?

Right now you do

what you really wanna do.

Do whatever it is you--

that you know is right,

that you believe in.

That's all.

And feel good about it.

Look, son.

Life isn't a problem

to be solved. It's

a mystery to be lived.

So live it.

You're a good man.

You are, you know.

Give yourself a break.

Take it easy on yourself.

We're gonna eat

in about a half hour

if you wanna come down.

Where's Morgan ?

He's lying down.

What's the matter ?

Is something wrong ?

Nothing he can't handle.

What's for dinner ?

New England clam chowder.

Fabulous, fabulous.

And you ?

Oh, wonderful, darling.

No, really, I'd love to make it

for some lobster tonight,

but we've been having so much

of it at home that I'm afraid

it's coming out of our ears.

What's a girl to do ?

Looks like I died.

Definitely not.

Frankie ?

Nick's on his way over.

Thanks.

No, probably

never get laid anyway.

dd[ Rock

Oh, no !

Morgan !

dd[ Rock ]

Hello, Frankie.

Turn it off !

Turn it off ? You can't

just turn this off.

Listen to it.

You might just like it.

Please turn it off.

Frankie, I thought

you wanted more.

This isn't exactly

what I had it mind.

dd[ Off ]

Morgan,

what are you doing ?

Morgan.

What are you doing ?

Climbing up the stairs.

Please don't.

Why not ?

After the locker room today--

Oh, my God.

Wounds of love, Frankie.

Gimme a break.

I am.

Morgan, I'm serious.

Frankie,

what's so unreasonable

about knowing me ?

Nothing.

And everything. Morgan,

look, you gotta go, okay ?

Well, I don't wanna go

till you explain to me.

What's there to explain ?

I'm here and you're there.

We don't fit.

You know, all I'm asking for

is a shot, Frankie.

It's not going to

change anything.

It could.

It could. A chance

is worth everything.

Frankie, get out here !

Now do you see why

you have to go ?

Frankie !

I'm coming !

Come to my house for dinner

tomorrow night.

No way !

Hey, Frankie !

Forget it.

Want me to get that ?

All right.

Come on !

I'm coming.

I'll be there.

It's for you.

Read it, really. Read it.

Now go, Morgan !

Go ! Get out of here !

[ Knocking At Door ]

I'm coming ! God.

Come on !

What are you doing in here ?

Nothing !

Can't a girl have

any privacy around here ?

Yeah, but not when

we wanna celebrate.

Celebrate ?

That's right.

It's not every night I get

asked for my baby's hand.

You gonna open that ?

What ?

Yep.

Can you believe this ?

And he said yes.

I'm so happy, sweetheart.

How do you open this stuff ?

I only wish Mama were here

to celebrate with us.

[ Cork Pops ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Nick ]

There we go.

Morgan ! Morgan !

Wait up !

Hey, Jimmy !

Isn't it great ?

You did all the work

yourself ?

Yeah, just about.

It's tremendous !

Yeah. It's got

your name on it.

It's really great.

It's yours.

Consolation prize.

Consolation ?

Consolation for what ?

I love this guy !

Good attitude, man.

Hell, they're not going

to get married till after

graduation anyway, right ?

- Check it out.

- What are you talking about ?

Nick's marrying Frankie.

Isn't that what we're

talking about ?

I can't believe it.

Where are you going ?

Morgan !

Hey, you on the bike, hey !

[ Boy ]

Go get him, copper !

So, are you

gonna get a ring ?

If you do,

get it at Woolworth's.

Susie Ristelli got hers there.

It almost looks like

the real thing.

I saw it.

It really does.

It's amazing.

I wanna get one.

Frankie, I just heard--

I wanna talk to you.

He's crazy.

Wow. Total romance.

I thought you were coming

for dinner tonight.

I am !

Frankie.

When, Frankie ?

After the wedding ?

Come on.

You don't have to be

a piece of his turf.

Look. I'm not his.

I can make my own choices,

Morgan. I'll be there.

Go easy on him tonight, Page.

This means a lot to him.

Mm-hmm.

So did that girl he brought home

for Easter last year, remember ?

She was so stoned, all she could

do was look at the peas and say,

"Wow, they're so green."

She was kinda cute.

No, really,

this is different.

He's really trying.

So am I.

[ Doorbell Rings ]

I'll get it.

C-Come on in.

Come on in.

Oh, I, uh,

I brought your book.

How'd you like it ?

It was good.

A little crazy.

I never met anybody

that felt things that way.

Yeah.

Well, are we gonna

stand here all night ?

Thank you.

[ Sighs ]

dd[ Soft Music ]

Oh, thank you.

[ Clears Throat ]

You know, I think you would have

really enjoyed spending time

with us in Connecticut, Frankie.

There was always

so much to do.

Our house was

right on the Sound.

Skiing, boating.

Morgan was quite

a good yachtsman

in his own way.

[ Chuckles ]

You were.

Don't you think he was

better than Brian, David ?

Mm.

I think so.

If only he would put

a little heart into it.

Of course, none of that

matters very much now.

I mean, since we've moved.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ]

What a pretty picture.

What's with Frankie, man ?

Get outta here.

What ?

Get outta here,

I said, Eddie.

Get outta here.

You lived in the Los Angeles
