"Do you know what your mother would say" "If she knew what you were doing?" "You refuse the ride," "I'll tell her..." "In detail." "You know, you really are a hypocrite, aren't you?" "A couple of hookers..." "A couple of hookers got a set of rockets," "That's okay." "But anyone else in their station in life is scum." "That's not true." "You and I are riding in the back seat from now on." "Because what that missile twister can teach you," "You don't need to learn till you're in prison." "I'll decide what I need to know," "And she's not like that." "She listens." "That's her job." "Shit!" "My wallet!" "Damn it!" "Damn it!" "Damn it!" "I can't believe it." "Believe it." "Your angel with the dirty wings flew..." "Taking my wallet, my luggage," "My last cigar." "She was so understanding about my problems." "Stuff your problems!" "Stuff your problems." "If you weren't such a spoiled little worm" "Such a whining little rodent," "I wouldn't have had to come down here for you." "You asked for it, and you got it." "True." "It's not my fault." "True." "I know." "It's your mother's fault." "Why is it her fault?" "Because she gave birth to you." "And what about your mother?" "My mother's a saint." "For what, having puppies?" "Oh..." "Oh, you want more, huh?" "Yeah, as a matter of fact, I do." "Come and get it." "Chicken!" "Ah!" "Oh!" "Ow." "God, you're pathetic." "Here's the deal, dobsy." "I had 200 bucks in the wallet." "You said you were broke." "I lied." "You dishonest, stupid jerk." "We had money all this time?" "We could have been home." "Probably, but I had this plan." "Yeah, I know." "No, you don't know!" "I know you were playing around," "Stretching this whole thing out" "So we could get to know each other." "And then it blew up in your face." "I blew it, and I'm sorry." "I'm also out of ideas." "I'm just going to sit here" "And hope I get arrested..." "So I can get some sleep." "Call your mother." "Have her send somebody for you." "You can call, can't you?" "I don't want to call." "I'm sitting here, and that's it." "You talk to your mom," "You tell her that I said good luck." "Tell her the dutchboy's calling it quits." "You're dumping my mom?" "I'm sparing her of a life of this kind of misery." "She's going to blame me." "I'll write a letter for you, nice letter." "Okay?" "Go on." "I thought you loved her." "I've talked and talked and talked to you" "Until I could puke coat hangers." "I'm me, you're you." "There's no reason on earth" "Why we should spend any more time with each other." "Okay." "I just think it's really sick" "That you'd cut my mom loose" "Because you can't get along with me." "Why?" "You hate her." "Don't fret." "It's okay." "She puts up with your crap, she can handle mine." "I never said that I hated her." "No." "Gee, I'm sorry." "You're the picture- is-worth-1,000-words guy." "Yeah." "Now, go on." "Go on." "Make your call." "Give me some peace." "I don't hate my mother..." "For the record." "Kiss my ass, for the record!" "Act like a rodent around somebody else." "You've busted my balls." "Congratulations." "Go on." "Did she ever say that she thinks I hate her?" "I got it." "Hello?" "Is-is mr." "Standish in?" "he's sleeping." "Who's this?" "Mmm." "Who was it?" "Some kid." "Come on." "We can make it home." "We got this far, didn't we?" "Where you going?" "Home." "How?" "I'm calling your mom." "Enough of this." "Wait a minute." "It would really mean a lot to me..." "To not have to call my mother for help." "You remember this?" "I still owe you one." "You let me call your mom, I forget about it." "No dice." "This isn't working out." "We're not masters of the highway." "We were robbed by home-bound hookers." "Only because you fell asleep, and I got..." "Horny." "You did?" "Sort of." "Congratulations." "Slap it." "There you go." "See, I'm not such a bad guy, huh?" "Yeah." "Yeah, you are, but..." "I'm still going to get you home." "¶ everybody knows you been steppin' on my toes ¶" "¶ and I'm gettin' pretty tired of it ¶" "¶ you keep-a stepping' outta line ¶" "¶ and-a messin' with my mind ¶" "¶ if you had any sense, you'd quit ¶" "¶ ever since you were a little bitty... ¶" "Uhh!" "We're here." "Where?" "I don't know." "There's got to be a" "There's got to be a guard around here somewhere." "We'll ask him." "Get out of here." "Aah." "Don't come back." "Heh heh heh." "Ohh." "I could sue you for this." "Ohh..." "Dutch:" "Hey, the kid doesn't mean it." "I do so." "And you can't hit me 'cause I'm a minor." "Ha ha ha ha." "Ohh!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Hey, hey." "Hey, you okay?" "Hey, I told you guys" "What the hell is wrong with you?" "!" "What the hell- we don't want any trouble." "Hey!" "Relax, all right?" "Why don't you guys" "Go inside and we'll hit the road, all right?" "Uhh!" "Aah!" "Get away from him!" "Yeah, yeah." "Uhh!" "Uhh!" "I said, leave him alone!" "Knock it off!" "You" "Get your tail out of here!" "You're outnumbered now, boy." "All right, kid." "Heh heh heh." "Haaaaaah!" "Uhh!" "Hyah!" "Uhh!" "Ohh!" "Uhh!" "Oh!" "Whew." "Oh." "Are you okay?" "Ooh." "We're gonna get you, kid!" "Yeah." "You got me mad now." "You really got me" "Dutch:" "Doyle, listen, listen..." "I'll make you eat that gun." "Dutch:" "All right, now you guys really did it." "You got him angry." "Pete, let's go." "You don't have to shoot 'em." "Pete..." "You don't have to shoot 'em!" "You don't have to shoot 'em, pete." "The kid is crazy." "Don't be crazy, pete." "Tell the voices that you just killed somebody." "You know, that guy." "You just killed somebody!" "Yeah!" "Uhh!" "Ohh, I just killed somebody!" "He just killed somebody." "Oh." "They won't listen." "Don't shoot me." "I gotta do it." "I gotta get rid of the voices!" "Listen, listen, it's the holiday season." "These guys probably got families." "I do!" "I do!" "He's single." "Why'd you say that?" "Now I gotta kill your families, too." "Dutch:" "Oh, no." "Calm down, pete." "Look, forget these guys." "We'll find some nice motel you can burn down." "Yeah." "Motel." "Lots of people." "Okay." "You guys are very lucky." "Kid hardly ever backs off once he gets his neck up." "So long, guys." "Excuse me," "But would you please get out of here?" "This isn't a warming house, you know." "The boy has a wound on his head." "We need to use the restroom." "I'm so sorry, but from time to time," "These..." "Road people wander in." "Excuse me." "I said out." "Can he wash his face?" "No!" "I'll go outside." "Let him use the bathroom." "Robert, you want to come over here" "And help me?" "Excuse us." "Excuse me, sir." "You're on the road?" "Yeah." "Why?" "The boy's your son?" "That's right." "We're up from georgia on our way to chicago." "Lost our car." "We got robbed." "Oh, god." "It's all right." "They'll take good care of you here." "Who?" "This is a center for displaced families." "Mike's supervisor is on the board." "So, good luck, all right?" "Don't give up." "Okay." "Have a little faith in your father." "He's doing his best, okay?" "All right." "Bye-bye." "Let's go, hon." "Bye-bye." "And, uh, all our best for a happy holiday." "Would you like to see the wine list?" "That's mine." "You can have it." "That was nice." "Jeez!" "Son of a" "You have to click it." "Is there a problem?" "No, no, I got it." "Thanks." "Ahh, jeez." "Shh!" "Shh!" "Shh!" "Woman:" "It's all right now." "Doyle." "Switch cots with me." "Mine won't hold me." "How do you know it'll hold me?" "Because I'm 15,000 cheeseburgers ahead of you in life." "Come on." "Hi." "You from hammond?" "Chicago." "I'm from south bend originally." "Came to hammond to look for work," "Me and my husband." "He lost his job in June." "Worked for one of those auto part companies" "That went broke." "We've been here for about a week." "It's nice." "We was living out of the back of our car." "That's kind of hard." "What about you?" "We got here tonight." "You and your daddy?" "Yeah." "Do you have a mother?" "But she's not with you, though, huh?" "Where's she at, chicago?" "Yeah." "And I bet you'd like to be with her right now," "Wouldn't you?" "Yes." "Yeah..." "I would." "It'll happen." "Hope so." "That's all any of us in here can do." "What?" "Hope." "You better get some sleep." "Okay." "Hey, doyle." "While you were brushing your teeth," "I called your mom." "I told her we were at the holiday inn" "So she wouldn't worry." "Is that okay?" "Yeah." "You know, 'cause I said I wouldn't call." "No..." "No, that's okay." "Good night." "Did you hear me talking?" "No, not really." "Well, I meant it." "I appreciate it." "You still gonna shoot me in the ass?" "Yes." "Good night." "¶ beyond the blue horizon ¶" "¶ waits a beautiful day ¶" "¶ good-bye to things that bore me ¶" "¶ joy is waiting for me ¶" "¶ I see the new horizon ¶" "¶ my life has only begun ¶" "¶ beyond the blue horizon... ¶" "That's them." "He'll be so happy to see you." "Hello, natalie." "I'm sorry." "Were you expecting the mailman?" "You take care, the both of you, now." "Now, you call the office" "First thing Monday morning." "I'll see what I can do for you." "Doyle, happy thanksgiving." "Thanks." "Good luck." "Okay." "Happy thanksgiving." "Hey, buddy!" "Surprise." "Huh?" "Mom..." "I'm sorry." "Could you step outside?" "This is a family matter." "Why don't you say good-bye to your mother?" "Why don't you come to my house?" "We've got a lot to talk about, huh?" "I canceled an important overseas trip" "To spend this holiday with you." "No, you didn't." "I called your house and a lady answered." "You lied to me." "Don't talk to me that way." "It's true." "You make up your mind right now, doyle." "Are you coming with me, or are you staying here?" "Your decision is final." "I'm staying here, dad." "Well..." "Fine." "I want you out of here by Monday." "Excuse me." "You wanted natalie out by when?" "Monday." "I'm sorry, I didn't quite, uh..." "I said" "Ehh..." "Friday?" "Well, she's probably gonna need a little more time." "Uh..." "How's 6 months sound to you?" "No problem." "And you'll be more respectful to natalie?" "Absolutely." "And you'll work on being a nice guy with your son," "Because he still loves you." "He's a great kid." "He doesn't deserve having his feelings hurt" "Or his mind played with, especially not by his dad." "I like him a lot." "I'm his friend," "But, see, I'm never gonna be his father." "That's your job." "You better learn to do it." "Yes, sir." "Good." "Pleasure seeing you again." "Happy holidays." "Thank you" "Thank you." "Heh." "Whoa!" "I'm okay." "And here it is." "Oh, wow." "Thank you, dear." " Isn't he a beauty?" " Looks good." "Uh, dave..." "Yeah?"
