Tuff Turf Page #6

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?

area all your life, Frankie ?

Yeah.

I mean, uh, yes, sir,

my whole life.

Well, then you must have

been to the Huntington Gardens.

Have you ?

Oh, I hear the roses

are absolutely fabulous.

I don't think that Frankie goes

for things like that very much.

She spends most of

her spare time reading.

Oh, well, since you've

never been there either,

maybe we should go together

one of these days.

We'll bring your mother along.

We'll make a day of it.

I mean, if she likes roses.

Does she ?

[ Glass Tips Over ]

Oh, don't worry about that.

It's all right.

These things happen.

You'd better get into

the kitchen, put some cold water

on that before it stains.

It's all right.

Her mother's dead.

I didn't know that.

How was I supposed

to know that ?

Let me see.

It's ruined.

Here, let me--

Look. Why don't you just go

talk about roses or something ?

Frankie, she didn't mean

anything by it.

Right, Morgan.

Frankie.

Morgan, I'm sorry.

Frankie ! Frankie !

Excuse me !

I promised Ronnie

I'd meet her at Woolworth's

to look at wedding rings.

You know, Frankie,

you don't belong to Nick.

Well, maybe not,

but I don't belong

to you either.

Can we take him out now ?

No, he's later.

I gotta go see

my girlfriend now.

[ Engine Starts ]

Hi, baby.

Where you going ?

I've been looking

all over the place for you.

Frankie ?

You're missing your mama

again, aren't you ?

Come here.

Come here.

Why don't you come with us ?

Come on. Come on.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Man ]

Teddy sniffing glue

Fell from the roof

on east two-nine

Kathy was 11

when she pulled the plug

I'm sorry, Nick.

I'm just so--

Check that out.

I know. No, come on.

Come on. Gimme a kiss.

Just kiss me.

A good one.

Yo, man,

gimme that bottle.

Come on. Here.

It won't go on, man.

That'll clear things up,

right ?

Better ?

Yeah.

Yeah ?

Yeah.

So.

So, what do you think ?

You guys feel like, uh,

kicking up a little dust

or what ?

Yeah, man.

It's about time.

I'm serious.

Jesus Christ.

Yo, let's hit

Feather's pad.

Yeah.

Some bitchin' proof

And Herbie said

Tony, can you fly

But Tony couldn't fly

Tony died

Those are people

who died, died

Those are people

who died, died

Those are people

who died, died

Those are people

who died, died

They were all my friends

and they just died

Mary took a dry dive

from a hotel room

Bobby hung himself

from his cell in the tombs

Judy jumped in front

of a subway train

Eddie got slit

in the jugular vein

And, Eddie, I miss you

more than all the others

And I salute you, brother

Those are people

who died, died

Those are people

who died, died

Those are people

who died, died

Those are people

who died, died

They were all my friends

and they just died

Yo, Nick.

How much longer are we

gonna be doing this, man ?

We've been driving around

for hours, bro.

That's right, and we're

gonna keep on driving until

I find what we're looking for.

I hope you find it soon,

man, 'cause I'm about

to pee in my pants.

So, shoot it

out the window, man.

Christ, just use your head.

Not a bad idea.

Hold onto this, bro.

Chill out.

All right, move.

This guy needs

a lifestyle.

Yo !

Good news, America.

Coming through.

Hey, it's chilly

out here.

Died, died

Those are people

who died, died

Those are people

who died, died

Those are people

who died, died

They were all my friends,

and they just dieddd

Oh, sh*t !

I can't believe this.

We're running out of gas.

What ?

I said, we're running

out of gas.

Here, uh,

why don't you take this watch

and go ask that cabdriver...

if he'll trade it in

for a little change ?

I gave you this watch, Nick.

Don't you have any money ?

If I did, I wouldn't

ask you to trade it.

Come on.

[ Sighs ]

Uh, I can't do it, Nick.

I mean, I'd rather walk

than trade in this watch,

you know ?

I mean, I gave it to you,

you know ?

That's nice.

But why can't you

do it, really ?

Why ? 'Cause that's

Hiller's father, huh ?

Is that why ?

Is that why ?

Come on. Come on.

I asked you a question.

Come on !

Yes.

Well, maybe you should have

thought of all that before

you became involved in this.

Now go out there.

No.

Frankie,

I said go out there.

No.

I said go out there.

Now get out there !

[ Car Door Closes ]

You've got to get out of here.

Please listen to me.

You gotta go !

Calm down.

I don't think you understand.

You gotta go !

[ Sobbing ]

Nick, let's go.

Nick, let's go.

Nick, come on.

Let's go, man !

Frankie.

It'll be okay, Nick.

Come on !

[ Tires Squeal ]

[ Machine Beeping ]

Dad ?

Dad ?

Don't worry.

He's very strong.

[ Typewriter Clacking ]

Mom ?

[ Bell Dings ]

Mom ?

Brian.

[ Sobbing ]

I'm so sorry.

It's all right.

The doctor says

he'll be all right.

Ow.

Sorry.

It's a bad one.

Yeah, I know.

I can feel it

clear into next week.

Want me to stop ?

No. No. Sorry.

I just keep hearing that--

that gun go off

over and over again.

It hurts so bad.

How do you deal with it ?

I don't know.

I don't.

No, I just...

keep exploding.

Wreaking havoc

on everyone's lives.

I, uh,

thought things were supposed

to be easy when you had money.

Yeah, if you don't

take it seriously.

How do you do that ?

By letting it go.

I don't think you can

hold on to anything...

until you let it go.

Sure, honey, I understand.

Of course, I just

want you to be happy.

It's just that I thought

that you and Nick--

Nick what ?

Nick what ?

You b*tch ! You b*tch !

I saw you ! I saw you !

- Hey, what are you doing ?

-Get off of me !

You don't own me,

you bastard !

You don't own me !

You don't own me !

Let me go !

Put me down !

How can you do this ?

How can you do this ?

You don't even care !

Nick, no, please !

Call your boyfriend.

Come on.

Nick, please, don't !

Call him !

I want you to call him.

Call him.

I said call him !

[ Phone Rings ]

[ Ring ]

Hello.

Morgan, stay away from him.

He'll kill you.

I swear to God he'll

kill you, Morgan.

Hey, Bebop,

you listen to me.

Nobody takes anything

that I own. Nobody !

I'll kill her first, man.

You got that ?

You be at the warehouse

in 20 minutes.

You got that ?

[ Dial Tone ]

Hel--

[ Door Opens ]

Morgan ?

I wanna talk to you.

How's Dad ?

He's a little bit better.

He asked about you.

Now, are you gonna tell me

what kind of trouble you're in

before the police get here ?

Hmm ?

It's nothing I can't handle.

I am just trying-- Morgan,

don't walk away from me !

What do you want,

Brian, huh ?

Why don't you tell me

what a waste my life is, huh ?

Or give me a lecture

on the rules of the game.

Well, I hate to tell you,

big brother, but the rules

have changed a little.

You leave this house,

I'll have you picked up

within 24 hours.

Great. I can use

all the help I can

get tonight.

[ Scoffs ]

Get the hell

out of my way, Brian.

Chico, se pase.

Is Jimmy here ?

Is Jimmy here ?

Over here. No.

- Do you know where he is ?
