Vision Quest Page #3

What? How could you forget

something like that?

How can you think

about anything else?

Give me a ride home

on your bike.

I'm in a hurry.

Riding a bike

don't burn off weight.

That ain't the way

to beat Shute.

Just for tonight, all right?

We'll make it up tomorrow.

Ok, but you run the risk

of pissing off the spirits, man,

which is not the thing to do.

Nice shoes, man.

See you tomorrow in school.

I could go for a beer.

Oh, my father doesn't let me.

Cup of coffee, then.

All right. A cup of coffee.

We got someone staying

with us, by the way.

I've been asking about Shute.

That son of a b*tch

is definitely tougher

than he was last year.

Where'd you hear that?

When he pins a guy now,

his coach has to keep him

from biting

the guy's throat off.

That's what I hear.

How about instant coffee?

Yeah, man. Make it strong.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Where's pop?

He's asleep.

I thought maybe

you were sleeping

'cause you were sleeping

when I went to work.

Yeah. I was beat.

Mind if I take one?

No. Oh, um, Carla...

This here's Kuch.

Hi.

Hi.

Kuch is like my white name.

My Indian name is swift elk.

I'm half Indian

on my mother's side.

No sh*t.

Good night, guys.

Good night.

You meatman.

Now I know how you're

losing that weight.

Uh, we're going to

make some coffee

if you'd like to have some.

No, thanks. It'll keep me up.

Can I have a spoon?

Thanks.

Good night.

Who is that girl?

N lunatic fringe

n' I know

you're out there... un'?

Good morning.

You got any garlic salt?

Yeah. Somewhere in there.

Thanks.

You like it like this?

Yeah, I love it like this.

You want to know why I'm

going to San Francisco?

I'm going to be an artist.

Isn't that hilarious?

Me?

What kind of artist?

A good one.

You know, canvas and paint.

That kind of artist.

I guess San francisccts

the place to do it.

You're absolutely right.

Think of me as a person

who wants to be artist.

I'm not one yet,

but I'm going to be.

I'm glad you told me about this.

Good morning. How did you sleep?

Really good. Sit down.

Breakfast is almost ready.

None for me, thanks.

You don't have to wait on us.

That's all right.

We don't expect it.

We're used to

doing for ourselves.

I just want to contribute.

Do you mind?

Of course not.

Knock yourself out.

Sit down.

I better be getting

off to school.

Get something

in your stomach first.

It's cold out.

It's just that I don't eat much.

Sit down.

So... What ever happened

to the lady of the house?

You mean louden's mother?

She left not long after

they foreclosed on the farm.

It wasn't what they'd

call a real good year.

Another man was involved.

Vvhy do you always

got to talk about it?

Are you proud of it, or what?

I'm not ashamed of it.

It just happened.

How's it feel, breaking

up with your hand

after all these years?

Live-in gash, right

under your own roof.

God damn Kuch.

Hey, Otto, it's true!

Old louden's giving

her the big one!

How? I'm not

lending him my cock.

Lend me your nose.

I'll blow up Montana.

I'll give you something to blow.

First you got to

find it, airhead.

Get down!

Come on, a**hole!

You're all talk!

Come on, a**hole!

Save it for the opponents!

He is the opponent!

I said save it!

You boys got too much energy.

I want to see you both

before practice.

Now go on, get to homeroom.

All right, let's break it up.

I think this is

a big mistake, man.

Why give yourself nightmares?

I already have nightmares.

It could be worse.

Hey, Shute!

Careful, louden.

Shut e'.!

Yeah?

Do I know you?

Louden Swain, Thompson high.

Think you'll make the weight?

I don't know.

I hope so.

I hope so, too.

Here, eat this, kid.

You're looking too peaked.

What's in it?

Wheat germ mostly,

with a little bit

of lean ground meat.

I don't want you dropping

dead on my kitchen floor.

I kind of miss old Kevin

since he checked out.

He was really weird, man.

He was weird?

Look at how you're

eating that hamburger.

Pick it up and

eat it like a man.

I can't. I'm in love.

With Kevin? Maybe

he'll come back

and take you away from all this.

I'm in love with Carla.

Listen to it... Carla.

I wanted to ask her

to come down to the

Columbia high match,

watch me kick the sh*t

out of that guy at 178.

I couldn't find the courage.

I don't have the will

to eat, you know?

What the f*** is this?

You mean you don't recognize it?

Wait a minute. This is cooze.

Yeah. I'm thinking

very seriously

of becoming a gynecologist.

A cooze doctor in outer space?

You're crazy.

I want to look inside women,

find the power that

they have over me.

All I used to think about

was wrestling Shute.

Now all I think about ls...

Carla's cooze.

Well, yeah.

Hello, Carla.

I just was getting a shirt.

Great sounds.

You being sarcastic?

No, no. I like

all kinds of music...

Like, in the background

when I'm thinking

or in a mood or something.

It's Vivaldi.

Yeah, Vivaldi.

He's great.

They give me a discount

where I work.

Oh, yeah. How's

that thing going?

All right.

It's only temporary

till I get going again.

It's a job.

I love the room this way.

You don't mind?

No. This is how

a room ought to look...

So you can tell something

about the person

who sleeps there.

Can I see what you're drawing?

Hey, that's me!

That's really fantastic!

Not just 'cause it's me.

It could be anybody, but...

You're an artist already, Carla.

I'm impressed to hell.

You look very nice.

You got a date?

No. The coach from

Washington state

is here in town.

He's going to meet

us at our school.

You know how to work

one of these things?

I'll give it a shot.

I can't get over that drawing.

Is he going to

offer you a scholarship?

Who?

The coach.

No. He just wants to meet us.

There.

Have a good time, ok?

Ok.

I'll see you.

Thanks for showing

me the drawing.

hey, louden.

Hey, Mr. tanneran.

Why am I surprised

to see you here?

I don't know.

I was here all last summer.

Shot up to 200 pounds

pigging out on ribs and beer.

Mind if I watch you eat?

I vaguely remember it.

Tell you what. Help yourself.

No, I couldn't.

Come on. One rib won't kill you.

No, but it's a good start.

You want to dance?

Carla. How did you

find this place?

Hell, how could you miss it?

Carla, this is Mr. tanneran,

my English teacher.

How are you doing?

Gene, please.

Mr. tanneran, Carla.

How do you do?

I do fine.

How about that dance?

Yeah, sure.

It was nice meeting you.

Same here.
