Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
We're lookin'

In whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin',

Fire all of your guns at once
and explode into space
I like

Heavy metal thunder
Go racin' with the wind
Yeah, darlin',

Take the world
in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
and explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born,

We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
We're lookin'

In whatever comes our way

Take the world

We were born,

We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
( clicks player off )
All right,
what are you doing here?
Sitting, sir.
Uh-huh.
There's a sign out front
says no trespassing.
You read that?
Yes, sir.
Absolutely, sir.
School doesn't start
till next week.
Get out...
the same way
you got in.
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.
Is Dickie around?
Dickie doesn't
work here anymore.
He got fired.
Shit, that's too bad.
Yeah.
Let me get
a fifth of Jack Daniel's,
half pint
of mescal and rum,
couple of daiquiris
in a can,
some Bloody Mary mixers,
and... I'll get
a 12-pack of Bud
while you
ring it up.
Is there a problem?
Not if you have some I.D.
Oh, yeah.
There you go.
Thomas Drake.
The wrestler?
All-state.
I know. I saw you
at the invitationals
last year.
You were great.
Thanks, my man.
Didn't you used
to go out with
Mary Moseley?
Oh, yeah!
I nailed her
in the backseat of my car.
Oh, boy,
was she a hose beast.
Mary Moseley's
my little sister.
Did you say
Kleinman or Moseley?
Moseley.
Oh! Mary Moseley's
a terrific girl.
I'm amazed I even got her
confused with Mary Kleinman,
because Mary Moseley's
fantastic.
She's...
she's a fabulous girl.
She... she is.
Tom, I find it hard to believe
that you're 28
and still in high school.
It's for my dad.
See, he's kind of
an alcoholic.
Sorry.
It's casual.
( Radio buzzes )
Hey, hey, kid,
we've been waiting here
for 20 minutes!
I'm sorry, sir.
One at a time.
( Clamoring )
What is goin' on?
Bill, this is
a league man.
How many times
do I have to tell you
league people don't wait?
Where's the other kid?
I'm sure Tommy's on his way.
On his way?
I don't pay him
to be on his way.
Now, I am fed up
with his act.
If he isn't here
in ten minutes,
he's out.
I'd rather cut him loose
and give you the raise.
I could use a raise.
Ten minutes.
Hi, Tommy.
Did you see
that bulge he had
in the wrestling
team photo last year?
I can't believe
they print those pictures.
Tommy!
Ahh!
Two, three, four and five.
Thanks.
Yo, man.
Tommy.
Been doin' your job
for two hours.
Get to work.
It's casual.
You guys okay?
Excuse me, miss,
but could I check the security
on your back entrance?
We've had some
prowler reports
in the neighborhood.
Sure, Officer.
Go right ahead.
Sorry to bother you, ma'am,
but we'd rather pay
a precautionary visit like this
than endanger your safety.
Well, that camera
above the door
photographs everyone
as they come in.
You may photograph
everyone, miss,
but, uh...
does everyone know...
how to make you...
squeal with pleasure?
Huh?
David, please.
Mr. Carlton only left
a minute ago.
I know.
I saw him go.
I missed you tonight.
There was a huge explosion
by the high school.
Hell of a lot
of damage.
I grabbed the punks
who did it.
You okay?
It's a job.
David, I thought maybe
we could go out tonight.
Mm-hmm.
It's dangerous.
Don't worry about it,
all right?
I'm a cop.
( Heavy breathing )
Hey, Jim!
Jim!
Hey, Tony, what's up?
How's it goin'?
All right.
Where have
you been?
Just hangin' out.
All right!
Not bad.
At least you don't look
like a flamin' geek anymore.
Thanks.
Hey, did you see
Apocalypse Now
on cable?
Eleven times.
Just keep that back entrance
double-deadbolted, miss,
and I wouldn't
worry about
the prowlers.
Okay. Thank you, Officer.
You're too young
to smoke, son.
Hi, Jim.
Hi, Anita.
What do you got
that's fresh?
Oh, everything's fresh.
( Tires screeching )
Lady, please don't disturb
league lanes.
Thank you.
Sorry, Bill.
He is so nice!
You know, Bill,
you're a lucky guy.
You're moving into
the woman palace of all time.
I'm proud of you.
'cause when they talk about
the Bill Conrad years,
they'll say,
Bill Conrad?
We never knew
just what a wild man
he really was...
until he moved in
to the house of love.
Thanks a lot.
So I guess
the first party's
tomorrow tonight...
right?
Not a chance.
Mistake.
I'm tired of wasting
all my precious time
You got to be all mine
All mine
Foxy lady
Here I come
Hey! Turn
that shit off.
( Music continues )
Maybe you didn't
hear what I said.
I said
turn that shit off.
Okay, come on. Let's go.
Get outta here.
You really scare me.
He's pretty tough, Glen.
Think you can
handle him, buddy?
Come on. Hit me.
Who is this kid?
You're too young,
and too little
for me to execute.
Then don't
give me shit.
Fuckin' muscle-heads
grow up to be cops.
You almost
got us killed.
Hey, as soon as
you're scared,
you're dead.
Just like Charlie said
about 'Nam...
we went in sloppy
and we came out sloppy.
You told me
I was gonna meet Charlie
two weeks ago.
Can't just barge
in on him.
Man, Charlie's a vet.
Hey, Jim,
come here.
Mom's been
lookin' for you.
You're supposed
to be home.
I'll be home later.
Your brother's
sort of a strange kid.
You seen Anita lately?
Sure. Why?
She's a hot babe.
I think dumping her
was a major mistake
on your part.
Anita was nice.
I really liked her.
But there is something
so exciting about
complete independence.
Like what?
Well, you'll see
how it feels
when you graduate.
You move on.
I don't know.
You look for something
more than you get
from high school girls.
( Sighs )
Like blow jobs?
( Chuckles ) No.
Like a mature
relationship.
See, I'm almost 19.
I can't still
be hangin' around
Alexander High
waitin' to pick up
my girlfriend.
It's embarrassing.
Absolutely.
Good night.
Bill.
Did you know that Anita
had another boyfriend?
Really?
I think
it's an older guy.
Wow. Good for her.
I'm really happy for her.
Good night.
All right.
( Bottle shatters )
Okay, who's your
new boyfriend?
Who told you
I had a new boyfriend?
It doesn't matter.
Just tell me.
Is it true?
Listen, Bill,
I'm trying
to work here, okay?
Reggie?
Yeah.
The receipts
are in the drawer.
Okay, babe.
We're just goin' out.
Great. That's great.
I have to find out
from other people.
I found out from Tom Drake.
You're the one
who needed your freedom.
REGGIE: How you
doing there?
Okay. Well, I didn't know
that was an excuse for you
to start goin' out
with the entire
male race.
Look, Bill, you're not
my boyfriend anymore, okay?
Fine. We don't go out
for three months,
and this is what happens.
Three months
is a long time
when you don't have
anybody to go out with.
Well, since when do you
have to go out all the time?
We used to have fun
just stayin' in.
Look, Bill,
I gotta go, okay?
Call me sometime.
Bye, Reggie.
You got it.
Have a maple bar, brother.
They're fresh.
It's great stuff.
Enjoy.
Thanks a lot.
Good night.
Good night.
Great sale, kiddo.
Listen, this isn't
a criticism, okay?
I'm not
comin' down on you.
It's just,
as well as selling pieces--
Like, what'd you sell,
pants and a shirt?
Two shirts.
Two shirts is great,
but we're goin' for
a whole look thing here, okay?
So think beads and belts
and bracelets--
whatever else you can sell
for the whole ensemble thing,
ya know?
I tried. She didn't
have the money.
Well, you know,
go with your instincts.
It's workin'
for you. It's great.
Hey, Anita, I'm almost
outta here, okay?
I saw David tonight.
You did?
Let me just close up
the register.
We'll get outta here.
You said you wanted
an adventure.
I just can't believe
it's with a cop.
He doesn't act
like a cop, though.
Do you realize
he could arrest you
for being underage?
Bill was nice.
We only did it
about...four, five times.
But David...
The way he just
grabbed me and kissed me.
I didn't even
have a choice.
He just
had to have me.
Tommy used to be like that...
sort of.
Well, every book I read
said it wouldn't happen
till I was 25.
And then... it happened.
Boom!
My first orgasm.
( Horn honking )
( Music playing loudly )
( Chirping )
( Loud music continues )
Jim!
Jim!
Could you please
turn off that music?!
( Turns volume down )
( Turns volume lower )
Mom says you
came home with beer on
your breath tonight.
So what?
Look, Jim, I'm not
in the mood for your shit.
( Turns music off )
What do you care?
You're moving out.
You're too young to be out
running around all night.
You have school next week.
I haven't decided
if I'm going yet,
all right?
Why don't you
get real, Jim?
You're 15.
You have no choice
in the matter.
Mom doesn't need
the grief, okay?
You care about Mom?
That's a laugh.
You're the one with
the Playboy apartment, not me.
Hey, I earned it.
I'm five years older
than you.
But I'm here for you
anytime you need me.
Don't give me
that older-brother shit.
Man, why don't you
just go bowling?
Everybody's a comedian.
Okay.
If you want to hang around
here all day long
playing army,
it's fine with me.
( Chirping )
( Turns music on )
Tommy!
I can't believe you!
I can't believe you.
Who do you think
you are?
You can't just come
walking in here.
You can't keep
doing that to me.
Eileen, I've been
thinking about you
all day.
Let me give you
a back rub.
No way!
What?
Shh!
You'll wake up
my mom and dad.
They love me.
Give me a kiss.
Look...
if you wanna see me,
you have to call first.
And don't just come by
work, either.
You'll only get me
into trouble there.
Eileen, I only
wanna stay for
a few hours.
I'm serious, Tommy.
If you don't get
outta here right now,
I'm gonna scream.
You won't scream.
I'll wake up my dad,
I'll wake up my mom,
I'll wake up everybody.
You won't scream.
I'll scream.
You won't scream.
Look, Anita's boyfriend
brings her champagne,
and you...you just
come crawling in
through the window.
You take me for granted.
That's not true, Eileen.
What about your birthday?
I was there.
What about
your tonsillectomy?
I was there, Eileen.
I was the only one there.
When you thought
Esther Davidson had
a better body than you,
I was there...
to comfort you.
You're right, Tommy.
Whenever I feel terrible,
you're always there.
See?
You don't really
wanna scream.
Gimme a kiss.
( Eileen screaming )
( Garbage cans clattering )
TOMMY: I'll be back!
MOM: Billy?
Billy, where are you?
Oh, there you are.
Mom, what are you doing?
Isn't this wonderful?
I borrowed it
from the Thompsons.
It's so easy to use.
Oh, that's nice.
You don't have to make
such a big deal about this.
I mean, I'm still
gonna see you.
My eldest son
is leaving home,
and I want
a record of this.
Oh, that
looks wonderful.
Mom...
Billy, are you sure
you wanna do this?
Mom, you said--
Fold them very neatly.
Fold them neatly.
Mom, you said
when I was 18,
I could do
what I wanted.
This is what I want.
I mean, I saved up
all summer long for this,
and I already
have the place.
Take the hanger.
Stop. Take pictures of Jim.
Oh, Jim!
That's a wonderful idea.
He should be
in this shot.
Jim, come here.
I want you...
Jim, would you
come here?
I want you to stand
next to your brother.
That's good.
Stand right next...
No, just look at
each other.
That's nice.
Gimme a break.
Oh, the blanket!
Oh, Billy,
you look so young.
You don't even have
any hair on your chest.
Mom, Dad left home
when he was 17.
Your father left us
when he was 40, remember?
Go back in the closet.
Bill, you don't
have to do this.
You could stay here,
you wouldn't have
to pay rent.
Mom, I love you.
But...
Bill, say that
in the camera, dear.
Mom, I love you.
No, the way you did before.
You know, with more feeling.
Look, it's only
14 blocks away.
JIM: Ooh, big man.
14 blocks.
Hey, get lost, Jim.
You're really
takin' off.
Screw off.
Jim!
Jim, this is
a permanent record.
You shouldn't do that.
Billy, get back in here.
Billy.
Geez, Mom.
I'm not gonna
bullshit you, Bill.
I know it's tough
for a guy like you
to afford
a place like this,
but you seem like
the kind of guy
that can handle it, huh?
Thank you, Mr. Davis.
Oh, lots of girls!
This way, Bill.
This way, boy.
I thought I was
getting Unit 32.
We had to rent
that one out.
But listen,
since you're
a first-time renter,
I'm gonna do
you one better.
I'm gonna put you
in the northern corner--
Unit 93.
You're gonna love it.
The northern corner?
The northern corner.
Whoa!
It sounds all right,
but I'd like to see it first.
Okay. Now,
if you like it,
it'll mean
a slightly larger
security deposit.
About 950--
that's not including
the pool key.
That's about $100 more
than I brought.
Hey, no problem.
Are you kidding?
We'll just put it
on the next rent check.
I've really been
looking forward
to living here, Mr. Davis.
We've been looking
forward to having you.
It's quiet,
it's spacious here
in the northern corner.
On top of that,
a lot of doctors
live here.
Prepare yourself.
( mice squeaking )
I don't wanna say
too much, Bill.
Just stand here
a moment.
You feel it, Bill?
It's the wild life.
( Water splashing in pool )
Huh?
I love it.
TOMMY: Sorry I'm late.
I had to go
to the hospital
and donate some blood
for my dad.
BILL: It's amazing
he's still alive.
I moved in
this morning.
It's great.
I can stay up
as late as I want,
I can sleep in.
I can do anything.
I know I wasn't
the most outgoing
guy in high school,
but I really think
this experience
is gonna change me.
I'm in
the real world now.
I can do
whatever I want
at home right now.
No, it's not the same.
You'll know
when you get there.
It's different.
You missed a piece.
I know.
I don't need
this shit, man.
I'm a specialist.
I could be teaching
little kids how to wrestle.
Be right back.
Do we know you?
No.
Where's the war?
( Scoffs )
Hi.
Hi.
You know
this guy?
Not really.
Get outta here.
Do you see this?
Next time,
it's your face, clown.
See ya later.
You're up.
Five orders of fries,
Tommy.
Thanks.
Guys, live it up.
It's on me.
I have something
very important to tell you.
Are we talking
about a party?
I've been up all night.
Eileen and I
are gonna be married.
Bullshit.
It's true.
I've nailed
my share of babes.
They call me,
they hang around.
They sit on
my car.
It's gotten old.
( Loud cracking )
Yeah, but you don't
have to get married.
Yeah, why buy the milk
when the cow is free?
Yeah, well, I didn't say
I was getting married yet.
I just said
I was getting engaged.
Get our pictures
in the paper.
Scholarship guys see it.
It's good for
the relationship.
It's good all around.
Swine.
Hey, Eileen's
a great girl.
I love her.
Congratulations, buddy.
Thanks.
Where's the stag party?
Where else? Les Girls.
Les Girls?!
You'll never get in.
It's all set up.
Unbelievable!
I knew a guy
who knew this guy
who got in there once.
They have girls
for everybody, man.
You can have a girl
and a steak
and put them both
on a credit card.
Visa or Mastercharge.
( All grunting loudly )
Yeah.
Guys, I'm late for work.
( Pounds table )
WAITRESS:
That'll be 5.50.
You really think
this looks good on me?
It makes you look
like Sting.
This is all right.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll take it.
Great.
Here.
Is it yours?
Well, no,
but it's my father's,
and I reimburse him, so...
Hey,
great-looking jacket.
Oh, you like
this jacket?
Oh, yeah.
Actually, and Eileen,
you can tell me
if I'm wrong,
I think it looks better
on him than it does on me.
You know, you're
gonna get tons
of use outta this thing.
I wear mine
all the time.
You know what
I really like?
It fits really nicely
across the back on you.
Why don't you
have a look in
the three-way mirror?
It's a nice garment.
Listen, Eileen,
I'm gonna go
on my dinner break.
I thought maybe
you'd like to come along.
It's on me.
We can spend a little time...
Harry, man, you hassling
my woman again?
Maybe some other time.
You gonna buy something?
No.
Hi.
Are you gonna buy that?
What?
I think it's too short.
Think so?
Yeah.
Yeah, I gotta agree with him.
This does not work.
I don't think so.
Definitely not.
Eileen...
Why do you do
this to me?
Eileen, I was
trying to help.
I told you
not to come here
when I'm trying to work.
Here you are.
Why are you smiling?
Because I love you.
You are a mess.
You never think
you're good enough
for the one you love.
But you aren't
good enough.
Aren't you gonna
say something?
It's go time,
right now, you and me.
Go back
to Alexander High
and instead
of being my woman,
you be my wife.
What?!
Eileen, I want you
to marry me.
Absolutely not.
I just wanna get engaged.
No!
It's casual.
What time did your flight
get in last night?
Mm, really late.
I'm exhausted.
Have you talked
to Ron yet?
Yes, I talked
to Ron.
I told him
he could go jerk off,
but I thought his hand
would reject the merchandise.
You did not.
Of course I did.
I can talk to him
any way I want.
Ladies.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm Bill Conrad.
I'm up in Unit 93.
And you are...?
Not interested.
Hey, girls.
BOTH: Hey, Louie.
Well...better get back
to work.
Marriage. Hm.
I'm not getting married
until I'm at least 35.
I mean, married to some guy
still in high school?
Forget it.
No, I am not getting married
until I have my own car,
my own place,
and my own money.
Absolutely.
I totally agree.
God, you look great!
David's gonna
lose his mind.
I thought you said
the place was phenomenal.
It is phenomenal.
It's great.
I'm finally my own boss.
But the problem is
it's costing more
than I figured.
I need money.
What you need
is a big raise.
You think Park'll
give me one?
Uh, no.
What you need
is a roommate,
a guy who can
take care of himself,
stay out of your way
and pay his own rent.
Girls, please keep the ball
in your own alley.
Come on, getting
a roommate kills
the whole idea
of living by yourself.
Maybe you're just
not ready yet.
My cousin's 33,
and he still
lives at home.
Maybe a roommate
isn't such a bad idea.
There you go.
I know who.
Ronnie Silverman.
The guy idolized me
in high school,
his parents are rich.
It's perfect.
No, no. Ronnie Silverman
got a scholarship.
He moved away last weekend.
Really?
Fuck, yeah.
Huh. He didn't even
call me up.
You need
a roommate, Bill.
I got it.
John Simms.
Bill, man, John Simms
moved to San Francisco.
He's a fag now.
( Clears throat )
Think.
Well, Tommy,
would you like
to be my roommate?
I thought
you'd never ask.
Bill, it'd be an honor
to be your roommate.
( Siren blaring )
BILL: See, it's not
totally great yet,
but it's
almost there.
Are you kidding?
It's fantastic!
It is a nice spread.
It's the best place
I've ever lived in.
Are you sure
you can afford
this, Tom?
My dad'll pay half.
Good.
He'll be glad to have me
outta the house.
We're gonna party
every night.
Oh, no, Tom.
Contrary to popular opinion,
I'm not on summer vacation.
It was hard
to get into this place,
and I wanna
stay here.
So what we have to do
is we have to lay down
some ground rules.
Fantastic shower!
Tom, can you
come out here
so we can talk,
please?
See, the thing is,
a lot of doctors
live at this end
of the complex,
so we have to be quiet
if we wanna stay here.
Okay.
Fantastic microwave, Bill!
This is great, man.
Did you hear about that
lady who put a poodle
in the microwave?
It blew up.
Gotta try that
sometime.
What are you doin'?
Hey, don't go
through my drawers.
This is my room.
The big room's mine!
No way, Drake.
That's not fair, man!
Absolutely not.
You're the guy
who needed a roommate.
You're the guy
who needed the bread.
Yeah.
So, let's flip.
Okay.
Heads.
You lose.
Two out of three.
No.
Come on, two
out of three.
No.
I found this place.
Please?
For you.
Heads.
You lose.
You wanna clear
your stuff outta the room?
BILL: I can't believe--
Hey, Bill.
Conrad, wait a minute.
Listen, I'm gonna
make it up to you.
I want you to go
to my stag party tonight.
Isn't a stag party
supposed to happen
right before
a wedding?
Eileen and I
are engaged.
Oh.
( "For What It's Worth"
playing )
All Charlie's buddies--
everyone in his outfit--
he's the only one
who never got shot.
He's been on something
like 20 missions, too.
Charlie must've kicked
some ass in 'Nam.
Hey, don't say 'Nam.
You call it Vietnam.
Vets don't like it
when regular people
call it 'Nam.
I wanna meet Charlie.
I don't know if he
wants to meet you.
Charlie's
a secretive guy.
I pass his place
almost every day.
I never see him.
He's not out
playin' in
the sprinklers.
He's gotta come out
sometime.
It's not that easy.
When he came back
from 'Nam,
he tried to cash
a veterans' check.
Someone spit on him
in his own bank.
Did he kill the guy?
It was a girl.
Shit!
That's cold.
Man, no one gave a damn
about us back then, Tony.
Hey, so what'd Eileen do
when you asked her to marry you?
She went wild.
All right, man!
All right.
Cop patrol.
( Radio buzzes )
All clear.
Tom?
Conrad...
after Les Girls,
you'll never be the same again.
Okay.
Bubba, how ya doin'?
I'm lookin' for Steve.
I'm Steve.
Hi, Steve.
You guys got I.D.?
I'm gonna be straight
with you.
I'm gonna be 30
in a couple of weeks.
This is a very important
night in my life.
You see, this is
my stag party.
Aren't you Tom Drake?
Friend of the community.
Hey, you were great
in the regionals
last year.
Thanks, my man.
Listen...
it'll be 20 bucks
for the four of you,
and a three-drink
minimum.
Thanks, bud.
Don't touch the girls.
Live it up, guys.
This is stag night.
WAITRESS:
Ready to order now, honey?
We'll have four
of the Pineapple Surprises.
...can't quench my desire
Don't you know that
I'm burnin' up for your lovin'
You're not convinced that
that is enough
I'll put myself
in this position
And I deserve
the imposition
This place, man,
it's just like I pictured it.
And this pounding
in my heart
Come here, baby.
I'm burning up
I'm burnin' up,
burnin' up for your love
I'm burnin' up, burnin' up
for your love
I'm burnin' up,
burnin' up for your love
Let's see your tits, baby.
( All laughing )
...closing the door
Well, it only makes me
want you more
Day and night,
I cry for your love
You're not convinced that
that is enough
To justify
my point of view
I love you!
Want me to do
I'm not blind
( Laughs, growls )
Watch it!
Wise asses!
I'm burnin' up,
burnin' up for your love
I'm burnin' up, burnin' up
for your love
I'm burnin' up,
burnin' up for your love
For your love
Oh, do you wanna see me
down on my knees?
Bending over backwards,
now, would you be pleased
Unlike the others,
I'll do anything
I'm not the same,
I have no shame
I'm on fire
( growling )
Come over here, honey,
and show it to us.
Keep your pecker
in your pants, cowboy.
( Raucous laughter )
Evenin', girls.
I waited all night
for you last night,
and you didn't show up.
Honey, what kind of job
you think I have, huh?
I'm a goddamn public servant.
I just can't leave.
Look, I told my parents
you were thinkin' about
stoppin' by this week.
Oh, really?
Yeah, like we talked about?
That might be good.
You look nice
tonight, David.
Got some sun today.
Stop.
Look... I mean,
why can't we have
a regular date?
Can't we just
go somewhere?
Honey, this is
a regular date.
I work nights.
Oh, yeah!
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
If she walks by,
the menfolks get engrossed
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
If she winks an eye,
the bread slice turns to toast
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
Watch it, sonny.
Okay, Dad.
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
The girl can't help it,
she was born to please
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
And she's got
a figure made to squeeze
Kinda like Anita,
huh, Bill?
( Laughter )
That's not funny.
I thought
it was pretty funny.
She mesmerizes
every mother's son
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
If she smiles, the beefsteaks
become well-done
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
Who wants some?
( Clamoring )
Who wants some?!
( Clamoring )
She was born to please
The ice cream man
is here!
It's as big
as my apartment, man!
( Music and clamoring
continue )
That's it, asshole.
Get him, honey!
Hold me down.
I'll kill you, man!
Whoo! Go for it!
( growling )
Hey! Oh!
( Laughing )
Oh, wonderful!
I got Visa
or Mastercharge!
I got Visa!
Tom.
I told you
not to touch
the girls.
Sir...
( Music continues )
It's casual.
Bad luck, baby,
the drink's on me
Okay, I'd like all this,
and some blowtorch fuel.
Let's see what
we've got here.
This is okay.
Uh-uh.
You know what this is?
This is a field bomb.
No way.
Sorry, little man.
You've gotta be 18
to purchase weaponry.
You know that.
Those are dummy grenades.
Here. How about
an authentic marine
jungle jacket instead?
44th Regiment, Vietnam.
There was no 44th Regiment
in Vietnam.
This jacket is new.
You're mistaken.
Look, man,
my buddy's a vet.
I should take him
down here
to see this shit.
This is bullshit.
Please exit the store.
This is the best summer
we ever had.
Quit moping, man.
What's the problem?
It's not like
we have prison records.
They let us go.
We power partied, Bill.
What's the problem?
Excuse me.
You have to be careful
in this lovely pool area
because of the sun--
it stays way, way late
into the afternoon.
( Dog barking )
Come here, sweetheart.
What an adorable dog.
Oh, God!
Are you all right?
You okay?
Please go.
I'm very sorry.
nging )
Fashion Dynasty.
Can I help you?
Okay, there's a woman
in 14 stuffing pants
into her bag.
Harry?
Yeah. Listen to me.
She was over
at sunglasses.
Now she's stuffing
pants--men's pants.
Where are you, Harry?
I'm over here
near the escalator.
Harry...
She started off
with sunglasses.
Now she's stuffing
men's pants
into her bag in 14.
You see her?
Harry, this is
not a good time.
I'm really busy.
Could you do this?
Look, this kind of thing
happens all the time
on this floor.
I really think it would be
a good experience for you
if you handle
this confrontation.
Really?
I'll be watching you.
Okay.
( Gasps )
Excuse me, miss,
but could you either
put the merchandise
you're carrying back
or pay for it?
I don't wanna
have to call for security,
but if I have to,
I will.
Guess who, baby.
Tommy!
I can't believe
what you just did!
That was a shoplifter, Tommy.
You let her get away.
Now I'm gonna get in trouble
again because of you.
Shoplifter... big deal.
Would you get
outta here?
Hey, Eileen,
I love you.
You only say that
when you think it's
gonna take you places.
That's not true,
that's not true at all.
Do you know where I was
last night? Huh?
I was depressed, alone.
I was thinkin' of you.
My friends wanted
to take me to a strip club,
but I didn't
wanna go.
I want you, Eileen.
Tommy...I have work to do.
Do you know
what I give you
that no other guy
can deliver?
What's that?
Excitement.
May I help you, Tom?
No.
Tommy, I think
you'd better leave.
I think you've
bothered Eileen enough.
He wants me
to leave, Eileen.
I'm not
kidding, Tommy.
I'm sick
of your act.
Either you leave
or I'm gonna get somebody
to throw you out.
Okay.
Fine.
I think you
better leave, Tommy.
This could be
yours, Eileen.
I thought I told you...
You didn't.
It's empty.
I know.
But it could
be filled with
a ring for you.
It's over between
you and I.
There he is there--
the guy in the blond hair.
Eileen!
Eileen!
This could be you.
Eileen!
Eileen!!
Good night, Harry.
Eileen, hang on
for a second.
I'm just doin'
the sales from today.
You're doing
terrific work.
Sit down.
I'll tell you--
you're doing a lot better
than I did when I started here.
Well, thanks.
You know, Eileen.
You know, Eileen,
I gotta tell ya.
I think you're a real
special salesperson,
I really do.
Sometimes
I think about you
and I wonder what it
would be like to have you.
Oh, no.
I'm not kidding, Eileen.
I'm crazy about you.
I think about you
all the time.
I really do,
constantly.
I don't
think so, Harry.
Look, there's
a place we can go here
in home furnishings.
It's totally secluded.
Nobody will know
we're there.
No, Harry, I don't
think of you that way.
I turned you off.
No... not really.
I like you.
I like working with you.
No, I turned you off.
I know when I turn
somebody off.
I turned you off.
I think I better go.
I'll just go.
Is it my hair?
It's not your hair.
Good night, Harry.
( Hard, crunchy sound )
I broke up with Tommy
in front of 50 shoppers.
( Sighs )
At least with Tommy,
you know where you stand.
David-- I can't
depend on him.
Sometimes he shows up.
Most of the time,
he doesn't.
I think he just comes by
when he's horny.
You just can't let men
take advantage of you.
Have you tried calling him?
I wanted to.
But he told me
I should be discreet.
Discreet?!
Discreet... that's
for other people.
Not you.
I know.
Well, the lights
are on, Anita.
Maybe his roommate
Rick's there, huh?
I think I'm
gonna stay here
in the car, okay?
( Rings doorbell )
Can I help you?
Hi. Is David here?
He's out on patrol.
What about Rick?
Is Rick here?
This is Rick.
Hi.
Are you sure
you don't want to write
a note or something?
No.
I'm sorry if I bothered you.
That's all right.
Bye.
Bye.
I know how you feel.
I can't believe
I let him lie
to me like that.
I have this poem
that I've saved
for a really long time,
and...it used to mean
a lot to me.
I'll read it to you
if you promise
you won't laugh.
Ugh...
"If you love something,
let it go.
"If it comes back to you,
it's yours.
If it doesn't,
it never was."
That sucks, Eileen.
Yeah, you're right.
I guess I haven't
read it for a while.
( Laughs shakily )
( Gunshots on TV )
MAN on TV: No cop's gonna
take me alive!
( Gunfire on TV
continues )
Well, this is refreshing.
You're a bigger slob
than I am.
Shut up.
Magnum Force.
I take it
the cable installer came.
This is him.
Yo!
I'm starvin'.
He's right
behind you, Clint.
Did you know
we had ants, Drake?
No.
I don't care.
I'm gonna make myself
a huge roast beef sandwich.
TOMMY: Blow him away!
( Grunts )
Blow him away!
Blow him away!
Yeah!
( Both cheering )
Thomas...
Where's my food?
Oh, I know.
This is all
that's left.
You're gonna need
some more food.
We got babes
comin' over later, too.
They'll probably
be hungry.
I thought
you were engaged.
That's before we got
this place.
Now it's bachelor-rama.
( Lewd laughter )
Yeah!
This is not gonna work.
Come on, Chief.
We'll bring a girl
for you, too.
I don't want a girl.
Pussy!
( Laughter )
Conrad...
You know I partied
before you asked me
to move in here.
Well, yeah, but it
hasn't even been a week,
and I've had partying
up to my ass.
Why so tense?
Listen, when
is the last time
you've experienced
the pleasure
of a woman?
None of your business.
Hey, dude,
you can tell us.
Okay, I'm not
the one goin' out with
high school girls. He is.
Listen, I'm going
into my room.
When I come out,
I want some of my food
back in the refrigerator,
some of this trash
picked up off the floor,
and can you put
some of my albums back
in their covers, please?
Okay.
Okay?
Okay, I will.
I promise, Bill, I will.
Thank you.
BILL: Who are you?!
GUY: Tommy said
it was okay.
It's not okay!
Get out!
Tommy said
it was okay.
Stay loose, Tom.
Later.
( Knocking on door )
Come in.
Oh, yeah,
Unit 87, right?
Ninety-three.
Craig, you guys
got my check, right?
Oh, he's here...
Yes, yes, we did.
Bill, right?
Yes, we did.
Uh... you've got another fella
living there with you, right?
Yeah, we're splitting the rent.
Works out pretty good.
He's loud, isn't he?
Well, I can talk to him
about that.
He listens to me.
You see, you better
look at your lease.
We got another rate
for two people.
Wow. See, I didn't want
a place that big
to begin with.
You knew that.
Now look, Bill,
we provide
a service here.
Either you pay for it
or you leave.
And if you leave,
we keep the deposit.
( Clears throat )
State rule,
not mine.
Well, that's bullshit.
Listen, I like it here,
and I wanna stay here.
I've put up with every deposit
and every increase
because I wanna stay here.
But I will not pay
another cent.
Don't get carried away.
I'll talk to the owners
about it, huh?
All right?
But do me a favor.
Tell that kid to keep
it down, and, hey,
no parties, all right?
No problem.
( Radio blaring )
GUY: Come on, Brenda,
let's go back to my place.
BRENDA: I don't wanna go now.
All my friends are inside.
Forget your friends.
Well, then I have
to go home.
Don't worry.
I'll get you home.
Get in the car.
I don't wanna go now.
I said get in the car.
Hey, it's that
army kid again.
Oh, my God.
I'm gonna run
his ass over.
Eddie, don't!
Shut up!
Grow up, pinhead.
Nobody likes you!
Was she laughing?
No.
( Phone rings )
Fashion Dynasty.
This is Eileen speaking.
Can I help you?
Hi, baby, it's me.
Oh, it's you.
Don't hang up.
I just wanna
see you tonight.
That's impossible.
Look at you.
You're never gonna change.
Why change?
Eileen, I just
wanna see you.
I'm busy.
And don't try
coming by
the department store.
You're barred.
Eileen, you're leaving
me no alternative
but to go out
with other girls.
All right.
All right. Good-bye.
I'm goin'
to the coffee shop.
You want anything,
love god?
It's casual.
( Knuckles crack loudly )
Be right back.
Hey, Robin.
Hi, Bill.
Can you make me
a grilled cheese
and tomato sandwich?
Oh, I suppose
I could do that.
Thank you.
How's your boyfriend?
He's okay...
as boyfriends go.
I would not know
what to do in
a situation like that.
This is what you do:
you clean it up,
you pull your pants up,
you say,
thank you, ma'am,
and then
you bust her old man.
( Cops laughing)
Where's David?
He's supposed to be here.
You know
where he's at.
He's up fuckin'
that skinny little girl
at Donut City.
He likes 'em
in uniform.
Well, he is
from Sacramento.
I wonder if he's
got anything left
for his wife?
Give her
a nice handshake.
( Laughter )
I'll have it drilled
for you in 20 minutes.
Okay.
Thank you, Tommy.
Where you goin', bro?
Out.
What are you
doin', Conrad?
I'm leaving.
What do you mean
you're leaving?
You gotta work till
10:00 tonight.
We got leaguers
comin' in.
I have to go.
This is our bread
and butter.
You can't walk out
on a league night.
Okay.
I'll be back later.
Tommy can take care
of things.
You know I don't let Tommy
touch the register.
You're workin' late
tonight.
I am sorry, Park, man.
I got plans.
You got plans?
Want some coffee?
So, uh... ( Clears throat )
What's fresh, huh?
It was a joke.
All right, look,
I know I'm late.
I got hung up
with a four-car
over on Lakewood.
Are you married?
Ha! What, are you
kiddin' me?!
I went to your house.
Why did you do that?
Because I missed you.
Well, that's great.
That's superb.
Look, I didn't mess things up
for you.
You didn't have
to go to my house.
You had your fun.
DAVID: 91 Baker, 10-8.
I wanna talk to you.
What's the problem, son?
Get out of your car.
Let's talk about it
like a man.
I'm gonna arrest you
like a man if you
don't shut your mouth.
Oh, big man.
Foolin' around
with a high school girl.
I could have
you arrested.
Like I said, shut up.
Get the hell outta here...
You can do
better than that
for your little
girlfriend, can't you, son?
Listen, I don't know
your girlfriend.
You hear me?
Fuck you!
( Car starts )
( Tires screeching )
( Loud popping sounds )
Shit!
( Siren blares briefly,
then dies )
Shit!
I think he's asleep.
Knock.
( Knocking )
Um, Charlie, I brought
a friend of mine
to meet you.
I don't wanna bother
you or anything,
so if it's a hassle,
we can come back.
No. Come on in.
Tony, Charlie.
How you doin'?
Hi.
You got a new TV.
Bitchin'!
Yeah.
Some new ink, too.
You don't wanna
touch it.
Charlie was
at Khe Sanh, man.
The 77-day siege.
The V.C. buildup
was so extreme,
no one thought
they'd make it.
Right, Charlie?
That's right.
They shot at 'em
for, like, 26 hours straight.
Never got hit though.
Isn't that right, Charlie?
Jim, you probably know
everything there is
to know about Vietnam.
Yeah, except what it was like
to be there.
Except what it was
like to be there...
and you're lucky
about that, man.
You know, you better
get somethin' straight.
I do not want
to go back there.
You keep thinkin' like that,
you're gonna end up in
El Salvador or Nicaragua, man,
and you won't be watchin'
Hueys and goin' "bitchin'."
I've gotta go
to the bathroom.
You guys wanna drink a beer,
there's some in the icebox.
Thanks.
Let's go.
Charlie?
We're gonna
head out, Charlie.
Charlie?
Charlie, we're gonna go now.
Hey, okay.
Come back sometime.
And bring your friend.
He was cool!
Everything about
his place was cool!
Wow!
I should've said
something.
I blew it.
No. He liked you.
I could tell.
( Loud music playing )
This is where I live.
Looks expensive.
A lot of doctors
live here.
Yeah?
It's pretty quiet,
though,
especially over
on the northern corner.
( Loud music continues )
Wow!
Yeah, it's nice.
Bill,
thanks for, uh...
stickin' up
for me tonight.
It's really great.
The guy pissed me off.
Well, maybe now
is a good time for us
to try and get
back together.
Huh?
Yeah.
But on a trial basis,
because...
Oh, yeah.
That's what I meant.
Absolutely.
Because then
we can be
completely independent
yet together...
Excuse me.
Pardon us.
Can't wait
to show you
my apartment.
It's great.
We can be alone.
( Loud music playing )
Can I ask you
a personal question?
Anything.
Are you a virgin?
Do you hear
something?
Yeah. Sounds
like music.
Look, you don't
live here.
We live here and we're
trying to concentrate.
Please turn
the music down!
Hey, what is this?
Hey, man, this guy
Billy Conrad's
having a party.
It's great.
Tommy!
Tommy?
You throw a great party;
just not enough room.
Great party.
Thanks.
We gotta get
these people outta here.
I'm gonna get thrown out.
Tommy!
( growling )
Hey, Mack!
Mack...have you
seen Tommy?
I think he's
in the laundry room.
By the way, Chief, dude, man,
you throw a great party.
But I think you need
a bigger pad.
No! No!
Vincent, no!
You're not puttin'
a poodle in
the microwave.
I just wanted
to dry him out, man.
Where's Tommy?
You're lookin'
really foxy, Penny.
Tommy, I didn't even
think you knew me.
I know you.
I do.
Listen, I like you,
but I don't think so.
What's wrong?
I just think
you'd tell everybody.
Penny, me?
Do you know
how that makes me feel,
girl as beautiful as you
sayin' that to me?
That really
hurts me, Penny.
I never knew
you were so sensitive.
Well, I am.
Tommy, listen,
don't you have
a girlfriend?
She doesn't
like me anymore.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna go
back out to the party.
I think you invited
too many people.
Hi! Oh!
Bill, man!
Anita!
Tom, where have
you been?
You really fucked up
this time, Tom.
We're doomed.
It's not my fault, man.
I just invited a few people.
Look what happened.
Doomed.
Hey, face it.
We're popular guys.
( bottles breaking )
Oh, God.
See, everybody's
enjoying themselves, buddy.
Tom, they are going
to throw us out!
Anita, you are
lookin' really foxy.
Thanks. Where's Eileen?
She doesn't like me
anymore.
Tom, have the cops come yet?
What about Craig Davis?
This is America, Bill.
We pay, we stay,
and they can't do
anything about it,
so I want you
to live it up, stud man.
This is
the last summer blast.
NICK: Tom!
Nick!
Tommy, Tommy!
Tommy, I got me
a woman!
I got me a woman!
I know a place
that's a little
more private.
You lose.
Take it off.
Come on, Frank.
Come on. Get 'em off.
All right.
All the way!
( Cheering, clapping )
Hey! Hey, Tommy!
We're gonna split.
There's no room
to dance in here.
No, you can't split.
No, don't split.
There's plenty
of room here.
What are you
talkin' about?
There's room here.
There's room.
We'll make room.
Back it up.
Back it up,
back it up!
Move outta the way!
What am I talkin' about?
We got a dance floor next door.
( Glass shatters )
We can do it again.
One more time!
Come on.
That was
only practice.
We're gonna get it
this time.
Thomas! Thomas Drake!
Dad?
You're comin' home
with me right now!
Dad!
Don't you ever stay away
all night like that.
Your mother's
worried sick about you,
for Christ's sake!
Dad, I'm sorry.
Come on!
Get out.
Bill, I'm sorry, man.
I forgot to tell my dad
I got my own place.
It's casual.
Don't you ever...
don't you ever stay away
all night like that.
Follow me.
Oh!
Oh!
Holy mother!
Anybody hurt?
That's too bad.
Lawsuit.
Oh, God!
Wanna start
with the kitchen?
Ya know, somehow
I had the feeling
that things were gonna
end up like this...
just not so soon.
Conrad, do you realize
what went on in there
last night?
Yes.
We had a major blowout.
Well, so what?
I mean, look where
it got us.
If you ask
any one of those people
ten years from now
what the highlight
of this year was,
they'd have to say
Bill Conrad's party.
We gave them
the best time
they've ever had.
So what?
Don't you realize
what you've done?
What?
You've made
the transformation, buddy,
from average guy
to the Bill Man.
You're a legend.
No, no, no, no, no.
Tom...
Later.
Eileen.
How you doin'?
Will you look at me?
I've changed, Eileen.
I heard about
the other night.
That wasn't me, Eileen.
That was another guy
altogether.
Tommy, you're immature.
Listen, I really
care about you.
Just give me
another chance.
Another chance for what?
For a relationship.
Come on. I'll give you
a ride to History.
I can be a gentleman.
I'll see ya later, Tommy.
Aah!
Bill Man!
Can I, uh,
call you at home?
Are you kidding?
I'm gonna have a new place
by this afternoon.
Great!
When's the first party?
Just you and me.
This year's gonna
be so excellent!
Hey, when we hang out
this year,
you gotta stop
saying "excellent."
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
Thanks for getting
my books.
I'm so clumsy,
I can't believe it.
It's all right.
Maybe I'll see you
later... Jim.
Yeah.
Head out on the highway
We're lookin'
for adventure
In whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin',
gonna make it happen
Take the world
in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
and explode into space
I like
smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Go racin' with the wind
Yeah, darlin',
gonna make it happen
Take the world
in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
and explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born,
born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
We're lookin'
for adventure
In whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin',
gonna make it happen
Take the world
in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns
at once and
Explode into space
( singing along )
Like a true
nature's child
We were born,
born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
( clicks player off )
All right,
what are you doing here?
Sitting, sir.
Uh-huh.
There's a sign out front
says no trespassing.
You read that?
Yes, sir.
Absolutely, sir.
School doesn't start
till next week.
Get out...
the same way
you got in.
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.
Is Dickie around?
Dickie doesn't
work here anymore.
He got fired.
Shit, that's too bad.
Yeah.
Let me get
a fifth of Jack Daniel's,
half pint
of mescal and rum,
couple of daiquiris
in a can,
some Bloody Mary mixers,
and... I'll get
a 12-pack of Bud
while you
ring it up.
Is there a problem?
Not if you have some I.D.
Oh, yeah.
There you go.
Thomas Drake.
The wrestler?
All-state.
I know. I saw you
at the invitationals
last year.
You were great.
Thanks, my man.
Didn't you used
to go out with
Mary Moseley?
Oh, yeah!
I nailed her
in the backseat of my car.
Oh, boy,
was she a hose beast.
Mary Moseley's
my little sister.
Did you say
Kleinman or Moseley?
Moseley.
Oh! Mary Moseley's
a terrific girl.
I'm amazed I even got her
confused with Mary Kleinman,
because Mary Moseley's
fantastic.
She's...
she's a fabulous girl.
She... she is.
Tom, I find it hard to believe
that you're 28
and still in high school.
It's for my dad.
See, he's kind of
an alcoholic.
Sorry.
It's casual.
( Radio buzzes )
Hey, hey, kid,
we've been waiting here
for 20 minutes!
I'm sorry, sir.
One at a time.
( Clamoring )
What is goin' on?
Bill, this is
a league man.
How many times
do I have to tell you
league people don't wait?
Where's the other kid?
I'm sure Tommy's on his way.
On his way?
I don't pay him
to be on his way.
Now, I am fed up
with his act.
If he isn't here
in ten minutes,
he's out.
I'd rather cut him loose
and give you the raise.
I could use a raise.
Ten minutes.
Hi, Tommy.
Did you see
that bulge he had
in the wrestling
team photo last year?
I can't believe
they print those pictures.
Tommy!
Ahh!
Two, three, four and five.
Thanks.
Yo, man.
Tommy.
Been doin' your job
for two hours.
Get to work.
It's casual.
You guys okay?
Excuse me, miss,
but could I check the security
on your back entrance?
We've had some
prowler reports
in the neighborhood.
Sure, Officer.
Go right ahead.
Sorry to bother you, ma'am,
but we'd rather pay
a precautionary visit like this
than endanger your safety.
Well, that camera
above the door
photographs everyone
as they come in.
You may photograph
everyone, miss,
but, uh...
does everyone know...
how to make you...
squeal with pleasure?
Huh?
David, please.
Mr. Carlton only left
a minute ago.
I know.
I saw him go.
I missed you tonight.
There was a huge explosion
by the high school.
Hell of a lot
of damage.
I grabbed the punks
who did it.
You okay?
It's a job.
David, I thought maybe
we could go out tonight.
Mm-hmm.
It's dangerous.
Don't worry about it,
all right?
I'm a cop.
( Heavy breathing )
Hey, Jim!
Jim!
Hey, Tony, what's up?
How's it goin'?
All right.
Where have
you been?
Just hangin' out.
All right!
Not bad.
At least you don't look
like a flamin' geek anymore.
Thanks.
Hey, did you see
Apocalypse Now
on cable?
Eleven times.
Just keep that back entrance
double-deadbolted, miss,
and I wouldn't
worry about
the prowlers.
Okay. Thank you, Officer.
You're too young
to smoke, son.
Hi, Jim.
Hi, Anita.
What do you got
that's fresh?
Oh, everything's fresh.
( Tires screeching )
Lady, please don't disturb
league lanes.
Thank you.
Sorry, Bill.
He is so nice!
You know, Bill,
you're a lucky guy.
You're moving into
the woman palace of all time.
I'm proud of you.
'cause when they talk about
the Bill Conrad years,
they'll say,
Bill Conrad?
We never knew
just what a wild man
he really was...
until he moved in
to the house of love.
Thanks a lot.
So I guess
the first party's
tomorrow tonight...
right?
Not a chance.
Mistake.
I'm tired of wasting
all my precious time
You got to be all mine
All mine
Foxy lady
Here I come
Hey! Turn
that shit off.
( Music continues )
Maybe you didn't
hear what I said.
I said
turn that shit off.
Okay, come on. Let's go.
Get outta here.
You really scare me.
He's pretty tough, Glen.
Think you can
handle him, buddy?
Come on. Hit me.
Who is this kid?
You're too young,
and too little
for me to execute.
Then don't
give me shit.
Fuckin' muscle-heads
grow up to be cops.
You almost
got us killed.
Hey, as soon as
you're scared,
you're dead.
Just like Charlie said
about 'Nam...
we went in sloppy
and we came out sloppy.
You told me
I was gonna meet Charlie
two weeks ago.
Can't just barge
in on him.
Man, Charlie's a vet.
Hey, Jim,
come here.
Mom's been
lookin' for you.
You're supposed
to be home.
I'll be home later.
Your brother's
sort of a strange kid.
You seen Anita lately?
Sure. Why?
She's a hot babe.
I think dumping her
was a major mistake
on your part.
Anita was nice.
I really liked her.
But there is something
so exciting about
complete independence.
Like what?
Well, you'll see
how it feels
when you graduate.
You move on.
I don't know.
You look for something
more than you get
from high school girls.
( Sighs )
Like blow jobs?
( Chuckles ) No.
Like a mature
relationship.
See, I'm almost 19.
I can't still
be hangin' around
Alexander High
waitin' to pick up
my girlfriend.
It's embarrassing.
Absolutely.
Good night.
Bill.
Did you know that Anita
had another boyfriend?
Really?
I think
it's an older guy.
Wow. Good for her.
I'm really happy for her.
Good night.
All right.
( Bottle shatters )
Okay, who's your
new boyfriend?
Who told you
I had a new boyfriend?
It doesn't matter.
Just tell me.
Is it true?
Listen, Bill,
I'm trying
to work here, okay?
Reggie?
Yeah.
The receipts
are in the drawer.
Okay, babe.
We're just goin' out.
Great. That's great.
I have to find out
from other people.
I found out from Tom Drake.
You're the one
who needed your freedom.
REGGIE: How you
doing there?
Okay. Well, I didn't know
that was an excuse for you
to start goin' out
with the entire
male race.
Look, Bill, you're not
my boyfriend anymore, okay?
Fine. We don't go out
for three months,
and this is what happens.
Three months
is a long time
when you don't have
anybody to go out with.
Well, since when do you
have to go out all the time?
We used to have fun
just stayin' in.
Look, Bill,
I gotta go, okay?
Call me sometime.
Bye, Reggie.
You got it.
Have a maple bar, brother.
They're fresh.
It's great stuff.
Enjoy.
Thanks a lot.
Good night.
Good night.
Great sale, kiddo.
Listen, this isn't
a criticism, okay?
I'm not
comin' down on you.
It's just,
as well as selling pieces--
Like, what'd you sell,
pants and a shirt?
Two shirts.
Two shirts is great,
but we're goin' for
a whole look thing here, okay?
So think beads and belts
and bracelets--
whatever else you can sell
for the whole ensemble thing,
ya know?
I tried. She didn't
have the money.
Well, you know,
go with your instincts.
It's workin'
for you. It's great.
Hey, Anita, I'm almost
outta here, okay?
I saw David tonight.
You did?
Let me just close up
the register.
We'll get outta here.
You said you wanted
an adventure.
I just can't believe
it's with a cop.
He doesn't act
like a cop, though.
Do you realize
he could arrest you
for being underage?
Bill was nice.
We only did it
about...four, five times.
But David...
The way he just
grabbed me and kissed me.
I didn't even
have a choice.
He just
had to have me.
Tommy used to be like that...
sort of.
Well, every book I read
said it wouldn't happen
till I was 25.
And then... it happened.
Boom!
My first orgasm.
( Horn honking )
( Music playing loudly )
( Chirping )
( Loud music continues )
Jim!
Jim!
Could you please
turn off that music?!
( Turns volume down )
( Turns volume lower )
Mom says you
came home with beer on
your breath tonight.
So what?
Look, Jim, I'm not
in the mood for your shit.
( Turns music off )
What do you care?
You're moving out.
You're too young to be out
running around all night.
You have school next week.
I haven't decided
if I'm going yet,
all right?
Why don't you
get real, Jim?
You're 15.
You have no choice
in the matter.
Mom doesn't need
the grief, okay?
You care about Mom?
That's a laugh.
You're the one with
the Playboy apartment, not me.
Hey, I earned it.
I'm five years older
than you.
But I'm here for you
anytime you need me.
Don't give me
that older-brother shit.
Man, why don't you
just go bowling?
Everybody's a comedian.
Okay.
If you want to hang around
here all day long
playing army,
it's fine with me.
( Chirping )
( Turns music on )
Tommy!
I can't believe you!
I can't believe you.
Who do you think
you are?
You can't just come
walking in here.
You can't keep
doing that to me.
Eileen, I've been
thinking about you
all day.
Let me give you
a back rub.
No way!
What?
Shh!
You'll wake up
my mom and dad.
They love me.
Give me a kiss.
Look...
if you wanna see me,
you have to call first.
And don't just come by
work, either.
You'll only get me
into trouble there.
Eileen, I only
wanna stay for
a few hours.
I'm serious, Tommy.
If you don't get
outta here right now,
I'm gonna scream.
You won't scream.
I'll wake up my dad,
I'll wake up my mom,
I'll wake up everybody.
You won't scream.
I'll scream.
You won't scream.
Look, Anita's boyfriend
brings her champagne,
and you...you just
come crawling in
through the window.
You take me for granted.
That's not true, Eileen.
What about your birthday?
I was there.
What about
your tonsillectomy?
I was there, Eileen.
I was the only one there.
When you thought
Esther Davidson had
a better body than you,
I was there...
to comfort you.
You're right, Tommy.
Whenever I feel terrible,
you're always there.
See?
You don't really
wanna scream.
Gimme a kiss.
( Eileen screaming )
( Garbage cans clattering )
TOMMY: I'll be back!
MOM: Billy?
Billy, where are you?
Oh, there you are.
Mom, what are you doing?
Isn't this wonderful?
I borrowed it
from the Thompsons.
It's so easy to use.
Oh, that's nice.
You don't have to make
such a big deal about this.
I mean, I'm still
gonna see you.
My eldest son
is leaving home,
and I want
a record of this.
Oh, that
looks wonderful.
Mom...
Billy, are you sure
you wanna do this?
Mom, you said--
Fold them very neatly.
Fold them neatly.
Mom, you said
when I was 18,
I could do
what I wanted.
This is what I want.
I mean, I saved up
all summer long for this,
and I already
have the place.
Take the hanger.
Stop. Take pictures of Jim.
Oh, Jim!
That's a wonderful idea.
He should be
in this shot.
Jim, come here.
I want you...
Jim, would you
come here?
I want you to stand
next to your brother.
That's good.
Stand right next...
No, just look at
each other.
That's nice.
Gimme a break.
Oh, the blanket!
Oh, Billy,
you look so young.
You don't even have
any hair on your chest.
Mom, Dad left home
when he was 17.
Your father left us
when he was 40, remember?
Go back in the closet.
Bill, you don't
have to do this.
You could stay here,
you wouldn't have
to pay rent.
Mom, I love you.
But...
Bill, say that
in the camera, dear.
Mom, I love you.
No, the way you did before.
You know, with more feeling.
Look, it's only
14 blocks away.
JIM: Ooh, big man.
14 blocks.
Hey, get lost, Jim.
You're really
takin' off.
Screw off.
Jim!
Jim, this is
a permanent record.
You shouldn't do that.
Billy, get back in here.
Billy.
Geez, Mom.
I'm not gonna
bullshit you, Bill.
I know it's tough
for a guy like you
to afford
a place like this,
but you seem like
the kind of guy
that can handle it, huh?
Thank you, Mr. Davis.
Oh, lots of girls!
This way, Bill.
This way, boy.
I thought I was
getting Unit 32.
We had to rent
that one out.
But listen,
since you're
a first-time renter,
I'm gonna do
you one better.
I'm gonna put you
in the northern corner--
Unit 93.
You're gonna love it.
The northern corner?
The northern corner.
Whoa!
It sounds all right,
but I'd like to see it first.
Okay. Now,
if you like it,
it'll mean
a slightly larger
security deposit.
About 950--
that's not including
the pool key.
That's about $100 more
than I brought.
Hey, no problem.
Are you kidding?
We'll just put it
on the next rent check.
I've really been
looking forward
to living here, Mr. Davis.
We've been looking
forward to having you.
It's quiet,
it's spacious here
in the northern corner.
On top of that,
a lot of doctors
live here.
Prepare yourself.
( mice squeaking )
I don't wanna say
too much, Bill.
Just stand here
a moment.
You feel it, Bill?
It's the wild life.
( Water splashing in pool )
Huh?
I love it.
TOMMY: Sorry I'm late.
I had to go
to the hospital
and donate some blood
for my dad.
BILL: It's amazing
he's still alive.
I moved in
this morning.
It's great.
I can stay up
as late as I want,
I can sleep in.
I can do anything.
I know I wasn't
the most outgoing
guy in high school,
but I really think
this experience
is gonna change me.
I'm in
the real world now.
I can do
whatever I want
at home right now.
No, it's not the same.
You'll know
when you get there.
It's different.
You missed a piece.
I know.
I don't need
this shit, man.
I'm a specialist.
I could be teaching
little kids how to wrestle.
Be right back.
Do we know you?
No.
Where's the war?
( Scoffs )
Hi.
Hi.
You know
this guy?
Not really.
Get outta here.
Do you see this?
Next time,
it's your face, clown.
See ya later.
You're up.
Five orders of fries,
Tommy.
Thanks.
Guys, live it up.
It's on me.
I have something
very important to tell you.
Are we talking
about a party?
I've been up all night.
Eileen and I
are gonna be married.
Bullshit.
It's true.
I've nailed
my share of babes.
They call me,
they hang around.
They sit on
my car.
It's gotten old.
( Loud cracking )
Yeah, but you don't
have to get married.
Yeah, why buy the milk
when the cow is free?
Yeah, well, I didn't say
I was getting married yet.
I just said
I was getting engaged.
Get our pictures
in the paper.
Scholarship guys see it.
It's good for
the relationship.
It's good all around.
Swine.
Hey, Eileen's
a great girl.
I love her.
Congratulations, buddy.
Thanks.
Where's the stag party?
Where else? Les Girls.
Les Girls?!
You'll never get in.
It's all set up.
Unbelievable!
I knew a guy
who knew this guy
who got in there once.
They have girls
for everybody, man.
You can have a girl
and a steak
and put them both
on a credit card.
Visa or Mastercharge.
( All grunting loudly )
Yeah.
Guys, I'm late for work.
( Pounds table )
WAITRESS:
That'll be 5.50.
You really think
this looks good on me?
It makes you look
like Sting.
This is all right.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll take it.
Great.
Here.
Is it yours?
Well, no,
but it's my father's,
and I reimburse him, so...
Hey,
great-looking jacket.
Oh, you like
this jacket?
Oh, yeah.
Actually, and Eileen,
you can tell me
if I'm wrong,
I think it looks better
on him than it does on me.
You know, you're
gonna get tons
of use outta this thing.
I wear mine
all the time.
You know what
I really like?
It fits really nicely
across the back on you.
Why don't you
have a look in
the three-way mirror?
It's a nice garment.
Listen, Eileen,
I'm gonna go
on my dinner break.
I thought maybe
you'd like to come along.
It's on me.
We can spend a little time...
Harry, man, you hassling
my woman again?
Maybe some other time.
You gonna buy something?
No.
Hi.
Are you gonna buy that?
What?
I think it's too short.
Think so?
Yeah.
Yeah, I gotta agree with him.
This does not work.
I don't think so.
Definitely not.
Eileen...
Why do you do
this to me?
Eileen, I was
trying to help.
I told you
not to come here
when I'm trying to work.
Here you are.
Why are you smiling?
Because I love you.
You are a mess.
You never think
you're good enough
for the one you love.
But you aren't
good enough.
Aren't you gonna
say something?
It's go time,
right now, you and me.
Go back
to Alexander High
and instead
of being my woman,
you be my wife.
What?!
Eileen, I want you
to marry me.
Absolutely not.
I just wanna get engaged.
No!
It's casual.
What time did your flight
get in last night?
Mm, really late.
I'm exhausted.
Have you talked
to Ron yet?
Yes, I talked
to Ron.
I told him
he could go jerk off,
but I thought his hand
would reject the merchandise.
You did not.
Of course I did.
I can talk to him
any way I want.
Ladies.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm Bill Conrad.
I'm up in Unit 93.
And you are...?
Not interested.
Hey, girls.
BOTH: Hey, Louie.
Well...better get back
to work.
Marriage. Hm.
I'm not getting married
until I'm at least 35.
I mean, married to some guy
still in high school?
Forget it.
No, I am not getting married
until I have my own car,
my own place,
and my own money.
Absolutely.
I totally agree.
God, you look great!
David's gonna
lose his mind.
I thought you said
the place was phenomenal.
It is phenomenal.
It's great.
I'm finally my own boss.
But the problem is
it's costing more
than I figured.
I need money.
What you need
is a big raise.
You think Park'll
give me one?
Uh, no.
What you need
is a roommate,
a guy who can
take care of himself,
stay out of your way
and pay his own rent.
Girls, please keep the ball
in your own alley.
Come on, getting
a roommate kills
the whole idea
of living by yourself.
Maybe you're just
not ready yet.
My cousin's 33,
and he still
lives at home.
Maybe a roommate
isn't such a bad idea.
There you go.
I know who.
Ronnie Silverman.
The guy idolized me
in high school,
his parents are rich.
It's perfect.
No, no. Ronnie Silverman
got a scholarship.
He moved away last weekend.
Really?
Fuck, yeah.
Huh. He didn't even
call me up.
You need
a roommate, Bill.
I got it.
John Simms.
Bill, man, John Simms
moved to San Francisco.
He's a fag now.
( Clears throat )
Think.
Well, Tommy,
would you like
to be my roommate?
I thought
you'd never ask.
Bill, it'd be an honor
to be your roommate.
( Siren blaring )
BILL: See, it's not
totally great yet,
but it's
almost there.
Are you kidding?
It's fantastic!
It is a nice spread.
It's the best place
I've ever lived in.
Are you sure
you can afford
this, Tom?
My dad'll pay half.
Good.
He'll be glad to have me
outta the house.
We're gonna party
every night.
Oh, no, Tom.
Contrary to popular opinion,
I'm not on summer vacation.
It was hard
to get into this place,
and I wanna
stay here.
So what we have to do
is we have to lay down
some ground rules.
Fantastic shower!
Tom, can you
come out here
so we can talk,
please?
See, the thing is,
a lot of doctors
live at this end
of the complex,
so we have to be quiet
if we wanna stay here.
Okay.
Fantastic microwave, Bill!
This is great, man.
Did you hear about that
lady who put a poodle
in the microwave?
It blew up.
Gotta try that
sometime.
What are you doin'?
Hey, don't go
through my drawers.
This is my room.
The big room's mine!
No way, Drake.
That's not fair, man!
Absolutely not.
You're the guy
who needed a roommate.
You're the guy
who needed the bread.
Yeah.
So, let's flip.
Okay.
Heads.
You lose.
Two out of three.
No.
Come on, two
out of three.
No.
I found this place.
Please?
For you.
Heads.
You lose.
You wanna clear
your stuff outta the room?
BILL: I can't believe--
Hey, Bill.
Conrad, wait a minute.
Listen, I'm gonna
make it up to you.
I want you to go
to my stag party tonight.
Isn't a stag party
supposed to happen
right before
a wedding?
Eileen and I
are engaged.
Oh.
( "For What It's Worth"
playing )
All Charlie's buddies--
everyone in his outfit--
he's the only one
who never got shot.
He's been on something
like 20 missions, too.
Charlie must've kicked
some ass in 'Nam.
Hey, don't say 'Nam.
You call it Vietnam.
Vets don't like it
when regular people
call it 'Nam.
I wanna meet Charlie.
I don't know if he
wants to meet you.
Charlie's
a secretive guy.
I pass his place
almost every day.
I never see him.
He's not out
playin' in
the sprinklers.
He's gotta come out
sometime.
It's not that easy.
When he came back
from 'Nam,
he tried to cash
a veterans' check.
Someone spit on him
in his own bank.
Did he kill the guy?
It was a girl.
Shit!
That's cold.
Man, no one gave a damn
about us back then, Tony.
Hey, so what'd Eileen do
when you asked her to marry you?
She went wild.
All right, man!
All right.
Cop patrol.
( Radio buzzes )
All clear.
Tom?
Conrad...
after Les Girls,
you'll never be the same again.
Okay.
Bubba, how ya doin'?
I'm lookin' for Steve.
I'm Steve.
Hi, Steve.
You guys got I.D.?
I'm gonna be straight
with you.
I'm gonna be 30
in a couple of weeks.
This is a very important
night in my life.
You see, this is
my stag party.
Aren't you Tom Drake?
Friend of the community.
Hey, you were great
in the regionals
last year.
Thanks, my man.
Listen...
it'll be 20 bucks
for the four of you,
and a three-drink
minimum.
Thanks, bud.
Don't touch the girls.
Live it up, guys.
This is stag night.
WAITRESS:
Ready to order now, honey?
We'll have four
of the Pineapple Surprises.
...can't quench my desire
Don't you know that
I'm burnin' up for your lovin'
You're not convinced that
that is enough
I'll put myself
in this position
And I deserve
the imposition
This place, man,
it's just like I pictured it.
And this pounding
in my heart
Come here, baby.
I'm burning up
I'm burnin' up,
burnin' up for your love
I'm burnin' up, burnin' up
for your love
I'm burnin' up,
burnin' up for your love
Let's see your tits, baby.
( All laughing )
...closing the door
Well, it only makes me
want you more
Day and night,
I cry for your love
You're not convinced that
that is enough
To justify
my point of view
I love you!
Want me to do
I'm not blind
( Laughs, growls )
Watch it!
Wise asses!
I'm burnin' up,
burnin' up for your love
I'm burnin' up, burnin' up
for your love
I'm burnin' up,
burnin' up for your love
For your love
Oh, do you wanna see me
down on my knees?
Bending over backwards,
now, would you be pleased
Unlike the others,
I'll do anything
I'm not the same,
I have no shame
I'm on fire
( growling )
Come over here, honey,
and show it to us.
Keep your pecker
in your pants, cowboy.
( Raucous laughter )
Evenin', girls.
I waited all night
for you last night,
and you didn't show up.
Honey, what kind of job
you think I have, huh?
I'm a goddamn public servant.
I just can't leave.
Look, I told my parents
you were thinkin' about
stoppin' by this week.
Oh, really?
Yeah, like we talked about?
That might be good.
You look nice
tonight, David.
Got some sun today.
Stop.
Look... I mean,
why can't we have
a regular date?
Can't we just
go somewhere?
Honey, this is
a regular date.
I work nights.
Oh, yeah!
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
If she walks by,
the menfolks get engrossed
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
If she winks an eye,
the bread slice turns to toast
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
Watch it, sonny.
Okay, Dad.
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
The girl can't help it,
she was born to please
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
And she's got
a figure made to squeeze
Kinda like Anita,
huh, Bill?
( Laughter )
That's not funny.
I thought
it was pretty funny.
She mesmerizes
every mother's son
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
If she smiles, the beefsteaks
become well-done
She can't help it,
the girl can't help it
Who wants some?
( Clamoring )
Who wants some?!
( Clamoring )
She was born to please
The ice cream man
is here!
It's as big
as my apartment, man!
( Music and clamoring
continue )
That's it, asshole.
Get him, honey!
Hold me down.
I'll kill you, man!
Whoo! Go for it!
( growling )
Hey! Oh!
( Laughing )
Oh, wonderful!
I got Visa
or Mastercharge!
I got Visa!
Tom.
I told you
not to touch
the girls.
Sir...
( Music continues )
It's casual.
Bad luck, baby,
the drink's on me
Okay, I'd like all this,
and some blowtorch fuel.
Let's see what
we've got here.
This is okay.
Uh-uh.
You know what this is?
This is a field bomb.
No way.
Sorry, little man.
You've gotta be 18
to purchase weaponry.
You know that.
Those are dummy grenades.
Here. How about
an authentic marine
jungle jacket instead?
44th Regiment, Vietnam.
There was no 44th Regiment
in Vietnam.
This jacket is new.
You're mistaken.
Look, man,
my buddy's a vet.
I should take him
down here
to see this shit.
This is bullshit.
Please exit the store.
This is the best summer
we ever had.
Quit moping, man.
What's the problem?
It's not like
we have prison records.
They let us go.
We power partied, Bill.
What's the problem?
Excuse me.
You have to be careful
in this lovely pool area
because of the sun--
it stays way, way late
into the afternoon.
( Dog barking )
Come here, sweetheart.
What an adorable dog.
Oh, God!
Are you all right?
You okay?
Please go.
I'm very sorry.
nging )
Fashion Dynasty.
Can I help you?
Okay, there's a woman
in 14 stuffing pants
into her bag.
Harry?
Yeah. Listen to me.
She was over
at sunglasses.
Now she's stuffing
pants--men's pants.
Where are you, Harry?
I'm over here
near the escalator.
Harry...
She started off
with sunglasses.
Now she's stuffing
men's pants
into her bag in 14.
You see her?
Harry, this is
not a good time.
I'm really busy.
Could you do this?
Look, this kind of thing
happens all the time
on this floor.
I really think it would be
a good experience for you
if you handle
this confrontation.
Really?
I'll be watching you.
Okay.
( Gasps )
Excuse me, miss,
but could you either
put the merchandise
you're carrying back
or pay for it?
I don't wanna
have to call for security,
but if I have to,
I will.
Guess who, baby.
Tommy!
I can't believe
what you just did!
That was a shoplifter, Tommy.
You let her get away.
Now I'm gonna get in trouble
again because of you.
Shoplifter... big deal.
Would you get
outta here?
Hey, Eileen,
I love you.
You only say that
when you think it's
gonna take you places.
That's not true,
that's not true at all.
Do you know where I was
last night? Huh?
I was depressed, alone.
I was thinkin' of you.
My friends wanted
to take me to a strip club,
but I didn't
wanna go.
I want you, Eileen.
Tommy...I have work to do.
Do you know
what I give you
that no other guy
can deliver?
What's that?
Excitement.
May I help you, Tom?
No.
Tommy, I think
you'd better leave.
I think you've
bothered Eileen enough.
He wants me
to leave, Eileen.
I'm not
kidding, Tommy.
I'm sick
of your act.
Either you leave
or I'm gonna get somebody
to throw you out.
Okay.
Fine.
I think you
better leave, Tommy.
This could be
yours, Eileen.
I thought I told you...
You didn't.
It's empty.
I know.
But it could
be filled with
a ring for you.
It's over between
you and I.
There he is there--
the guy in the blond hair.
Eileen!
Eileen!
This could be you.
Eileen!
Eileen!!
Good night, Harry.
Eileen, hang on
for a second.
I'm just doin'
the sales from today.
You're doing
terrific work.
Sit down.
I'll tell you--
you're doing a lot better
than I did when I started here.
Well, thanks.
You know, Eileen.
You know, Eileen,
I gotta tell ya.
I think you're a real
special salesperson,
I really do.
Sometimes
I think about you
and I wonder what it
would be like to have you.
Oh, no.
I'm not kidding, Eileen.
I'm crazy about you.
I think about you
all the time.
I really do,
constantly.
I don't
think so, Harry.
Look, there's
a place we can go here
in home furnishings.
It's totally secluded.
Nobody will know
we're there.
No, Harry, I don't
think of you that way.
I turned you off.
No... not really.
I like you.
I like working with you.
No, I turned you off.
I know when I turn
somebody off.
I turned you off.
I think I better go.
I'll just go.
Is it my hair?
It's not your hair.
Good night, Harry.
( Hard, crunchy sound )
I broke up with Tommy
in front of 50 shoppers.
( Sighs )
At least with Tommy,
you know where you stand.
David-- I can't
depend on him.
Sometimes he shows up.
Most of the time,
he doesn't.
I think he just comes by
when he's horny.
You just can't let men
take advantage of you.
Have you tried calling him?
I wanted to.
But he told me
I should be discreet.
Discreet?!
Discreet... that's
for other people.
Not you.
I know.
Well, the lights
are on, Anita.
Maybe his roommate
Rick's there, huh?
I think I'm
gonna stay here
in the car, okay?
( Rings doorbell )
Can I help you?
Hi. Is David here?
He's out on patrol.
What about Rick?
Is Rick here?
This is Rick.
Hi.
Are you sure
you don't want to write
a note or something?
No.
I'm sorry if I bothered you.
That's all right.
Bye.
Bye.
I know how you feel.
I can't believe
I let him lie
to me like that.
I have this poem
that I've saved
for a really long time,
and...it used to mean
a lot to me.
I'll read it to you
if you promise
you won't laugh.
Ugh...
"If you love something,
let it go.
"If it comes back to you,
it's yours.
If it doesn't,
it never was."
That sucks, Eileen.
Yeah, you're right.
I guess I haven't
read it for a while.
( Laughs shakily )
( Gunshots on TV )
MAN on TV: No cop's gonna
take me alive!
( Gunfire on TV
continues )
Well, this is refreshing.
You're a bigger slob
than I am.
Shut up.
Magnum Force.
I take it
the cable installer came.
This is him.
Yo!
I'm starvin'.
He's right
behind you, Clint.
Did you know
we had ants, Drake?
No.
I don't care.
I'm gonna make myself
a huge roast beef sandwich.
TOMMY: Blow him away!
( Grunts )
Blow him away!
Blow him away!
Yeah!
( Both cheering )
Thomas...
Where's my food?
Oh, I know.
This is all
that's left.
You're gonna need
some more food.
We got babes
comin' over later, too.
They'll probably
be hungry.
I thought
you were engaged.
That's before we got
this place.
Now it's bachelor-rama.
( Lewd laughter )
Yeah!
This is not gonna work.
Come on, Chief.
We'll bring a girl
for you, too.
I don't want a girl.
Pussy!
( Laughter )
Conrad...
You know I partied
before you asked me
to move in here.
Well, yeah, but it
hasn't even been a week,
and I've had partying
up to my ass.
Why so tense?
Listen, when
is the last time
you've experienced
the pleasure
of a woman?
None of your business.
Hey, dude,
you can tell us.
Okay, I'm not
the one goin' out with
high school girls. He is.
Listen, I'm going
into my room.
When I come out,
I want some of my food
back in the refrigerator,
some of this trash
picked up off the floor,
and can you put
some of my albums back
in their covers, please?
Okay.
Okay?
Okay, I will.
I promise, Bill, I will.
Thank you.
BILL: Who are you?!
GUY: Tommy said
it was okay.
It's not okay!
Get out!
Tommy said
it was okay.
Stay loose, Tom.
Later.
( Knocking on door )
Come in.
Oh, yeah,
Unit 87, right?
Ninety-three.
Craig, you guys
got my check, right?
Oh, he's here...
Yes, yes, we did.
Bill, right?
Yes, we did.
Uh... you've got another fella
living there with you, right?
Yeah, we're splitting the rent.
Works out pretty good.
He's loud, isn't he?
Well, I can talk to him
about that.
He listens to me.
You see, you better
look at your lease.
We got another rate
for two people.
Wow. See, I didn't want
a place that big
to begin with.
You knew that.
Now look, Bill,
we provide
a service here.
Either you pay for it
or you leave.
And if you leave,
we keep the deposit.
( Clears throat )
State rule,
not mine.
Well, that's bullshit.
Listen, I like it here,
and I wanna stay here.
I've put up with every deposit
and every increase
because I wanna stay here.
But I will not pay
another cent.
Don't get carried away.
I'll talk to the owners
about it, huh?
All right?
But do me a favor.
Tell that kid to keep
it down, and, hey,
no parties, all right?
No problem.
( Radio blaring )
GUY: Come on, Brenda,
let's go back to my place.
BRENDA: I don't wanna go now.
All my friends are inside.
Forget your friends.
Well, then I have
to go home.
Don't worry.
I'll get you home.
Get in the car.
I don't wanna go now.
I said get in the car.
Hey, it's that
army kid again.
Oh, my God.
I'm gonna run
his ass over.
Eddie, don't!
Shut up!
Grow up, pinhead.
Nobody likes you!
Was she laughing?
No.
( Phone rings )
Fashion Dynasty.
This is Eileen speaking.
Can I help you?
Hi, baby, it's me.
Oh, it's you.
Don't hang up.
I just wanna
see you tonight.
That's impossible.
Look at you.
You're never gonna change.
Why change?
Eileen, I just
wanna see you.
I'm busy.
And don't try
coming by
the department store.
You're barred.
Eileen, you're leaving
me no alternative
but to go out
with other girls.
All right.
All right. Good-bye.
I'm goin'
to the coffee shop.
You want anything,
love god?
It's casual.
( Knuckles crack loudly )
Be right back.
Hey, Robin.
Hi, Bill.
Can you make me
a grilled cheese
and tomato sandwich?
Oh, I suppose
I could do that.
Thank you.
How's your boyfriend?
He's okay...
as boyfriends go.
I would not know
what to do in
a situation like that.
This is what you do:
you clean it up,
you pull your pants up,
you say,
thank you, ma'am,
and then
you bust her old man.
( Cops laughing)
Where's David?
He's supposed to be here.
You know
where he's at.
He's up fuckin'
that skinny little girl
at Donut City.
He likes 'em
in uniform.
Well, he is
from Sacramento.
I wonder if he's
got anything left
for his wife?
Give her
a nice handshake.
( Laughter )
I'll have it drilled
for you in 20 minutes.
Okay.
Thank you, Tommy.
Where you goin', bro?
Out.
What are you
doin', Conrad?
I'm leaving.
What do you mean
you're leaving?
You gotta work till
10:00 tonight.
We got leaguers
comin' in.
I have to go.
This is our bread
and butter.
You can't walk out
on a league night.
Okay.
I'll be back later.
Tommy can take care
of things.
You know I don't let Tommy
touch the register.
You're workin' late
tonight.
I am sorry, Park, man.
I got plans.
You got plans?
Want some coffee?
So, uh... ( Clears throat )
What's fresh, huh?
It was a joke.
All right, look,
I know I'm late.
I got hung up
with a four-car
over on Lakewood.
Are you married?
Ha! What, are you
kiddin' me?!
I went to your house.
Why did you do that?
Because I missed you.
Well, that's great.
That's superb.
Look, I didn't mess things up
for you.
You didn't have
to go to my house.
You had your fun.
DAVID: 91 Baker, 10-8.
I wanna talk to you.
What's the problem, son?
Get out of your car.
Let's talk about it
like a man.
I'm gonna arrest you
like a man if you
don't shut your mouth.
Oh, big man.
Foolin' around
with a high school girl.
I could have
you arrested.
Like I said, shut up.
Get the hell outta here...
You can do
better than that
for your little
girlfriend, can't you, son?
Listen, I don't know
your girlfriend.
You hear me?
Fuck you!
( Car starts )
( Tires screeching )
( Loud popping sounds )
Shit!
( Siren blares briefly,
then dies )
Shit!
I think he's asleep.
Knock.
( Knocking )
Um, Charlie, I brought
a friend of mine
to meet you.
I don't wanna bother
you or anything,
so if it's a hassle,
we can come back.
No. Come on in.
Tony, Charlie.
How you doin'?
Hi.
You got a new TV.
Bitchin'!
Yeah.
Some new ink, too.
You don't wanna
touch it.
Charlie was
at Khe Sanh, man.
The 77-day siege.
The V.C. buildup
was so extreme,
no one thought
they'd make it.
Right, Charlie?
That's right.
They shot at 'em
for, like, 26 hours straight.
Never got hit though.
Isn't that right, Charlie?
Jim, you probably know
everything there is
to know about Vietnam.
Yeah, except what it was like
to be there.
Except what it was
like to be there...
and you're lucky
about that, man.
You know, you better
get somethin' straight.
I do not want
to go back there.
You keep thinkin' like that,
you're gonna end up in
El Salvador or Nicaragua, man,
and you won't be watchin'
Hueys and goin' "bitchin'."
I've gotta go
to the bathroom.
You guys wanna drink a beer,
there's some in the icebox.
Thanks.
Let's go.
Charlie?
We're gonna
head out, Charlie.
Charlie?
Charlie, we're gonna go now.
Hey, okay.
Come back sometime.
And bring your friend.
He was cool!
Everything about
his place was cool!
Wow!
I should've said
something.
I blew it.
No. He liked you.
I could tell.
( Loud music playing )
This is where I live.
Looks expensive.
A lot of doctors
live here.
Yeah?
It's pretty quiet,
though,
especially over
on the northern corner.
( Loud music continues )
Wow!
Yeah, it's nice.
Bill,
thanks for, uh...
stickin' up
for me tonight.
It's really great.
The guy pissed me off.
Well, maybe now
is a good time for us
to try and get
back together.
Huh?
Yeah.
But on a trial basis,
because...
Oh, yeah.
That's what I meant.
Absolutely.
Because then
we can be
completely independent
yet together...
Excuse me.
Pardon us.
Can't wait
to show you
my apartment.
It's great.
We can be alone.
( Loud music playing )
Can I ask you
a personal question?
Anything.
Are you a virgin?
Do you hear
something?
Yeah. Sounds
like music.
Look, you don't
live here.
We live here and we're
trying to concentrate.
Please turn
the music down!
Hey, what is this?
Hey, man, this guy
Billy Conrad's
having a party.
It's great.
Tommy!
Tommy?
You throw a great party;
just not enough room.
Great party.
Thanks.
We gotta get
these people outta here.
I'm gonna get thrown out.
Tommy!
( growling )
Hey, Mack!
Mack...have you
seen Tommy?
I think he's
in the laundry room.
By the way, Chief, dude, man,
you throw a great party.
But I think you need
a bigger pad.
No! No!
Vincent, no!
You're not puttin'
a poodle in
the microwave.
I just wanted
to dry him out, man.
Where's Tommy?
You're lookin'
really foxy, Penny.
Tommy, I didn't even
think you knew me.
I know you.
I do.
Listen, I like you,
but I don't think so.
What's wrong?
I just think
you'd tell everybody.
Penny, me?
Do you know
how that makes me feel,
girl as beautiful as you
sayin' that to me?
That really
hurts me, Penny.
I never knew
you were so sensitive.
Well, I am.
Tommy, listen,
don't you have
a girlfriend?
She doesn't
like me anymore.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna go
back out to the party.
I think you invited
too many people.
Hi! Oh!
Bill, man!
Anita!
Tom, where have
you been?
You really fucked up
this time, Tom.
We're doomed.
It's not my fault, man.
I just invited a few people.
Look what happened.
Doomed.
Hey, face it.
We're popular guys.
( bottles breaking )
Oh, God.
See, everybody's
enjoying themselves, buddy.
Tom, they are going
to throw us out!
Anita, you are
lookin' really foxy.
Thanks. Where's Eileen?
She doesn't like me
anymore.
Tom, have the cops come yet?
What about Craig Davis?
This is America, Bill.
We pay, we stay,
and they can't do
anything about it,
so I want you
to live it up, stud man.
This is
the last summer blast.
NICK: Tom!
Nick!
Tommy, Tommy!
Tommy, I got me
a woman!
I got me a woman!
I know a place
that's a little
more private.
You lose.
Take it off.
Come on, Frank.
Come on. Get 'em off.
All right.
All the way!
( Cheering, clapping )
Hey! Hey, Tommy!
We're gonna split.
There's no room
to dance in here.
No, you can't split.
No, don't split.
There's plenty
of room here.
What are you
talkin' about?
There's room here.
There's room.
We'll make room.
Back it up.
Back it up,
back it up!
Move outta the way!
What am I talkin' about?
We got a dance floor next door.
( Glass shatters )
We can do it again.
One more time!
Come on.
That was
only practice.
We're gonna get it
this time.
Thomas! Thomas Drake!
Dad?
You're comin' home
with me right now!
Dad!
Don't you ever stay away
all night like that.
Your mother's
worried sick about you,
for Christ's sake!
Dad, I'm sorry.
Come on!
Get out.
Bill, I'm sorry, man.
I forgot to tell my dad
I got my own place.
It's casual.
Don't you ever...
don't you ever stay away
all night like that.
Follow me.
Oh!
Oh!
Holy mother!
Anybody hurt?
That's too bad.
Lawsuit.
Oh, God!
Wanna start
with the kitchen?
Ya know, somehow
I had the feeling
that things were gonna
end up like this...
just not so soon.
Conrad, do you realize
what went on in there
last night?
Yes.
We had a major blowout.
Well, so what?
I mean, look where
it got us.
If you ask
any one of those people
ten years from now
what the highlight
of this year was,
they'd have to say
Bill Conrad's party.
We gave them
the best time
they've ever had.
So what?
Don't you realize
what you've done?
What?
You've made
the transformation, buddy,
from average guy
to the Bill Man.
You're a legend.
No, no, no, no, no.
Tom...
Later.
Eileen.
How you doin'?
Will you look at me?
I've changed, Eileen.
I heard about
the other night.
That wasn't me, Eileen.
That was another guy
altogether.
Tommy, you're immature.
Listen, I really
care about you.
Just give me
another chance.
Another chance for what?
For a relationship.
Come on. I'll give you
a ride to History.
I can be a gentleman.
I'll see ya later, Tommy.
Aah!
Bill Man!
Can I, uh,
call you at home?
Are you kidding?
I'm gonna have a new place
by this afternoon.
Great!
When's the first party?
Just you and me.
This year's gonna
be so excellent!
Hey, when we hang out
this year,
you gotta stop
saying "excellent."
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
Thanks for getting
my books.
I'm so clumsy,
I can't believe it.
It's all right.
Maybe I'll see you
later... Jim.
Yeah.
