Mean Creek Page #2

Synopsis: When Sam Merrick is beaten up by local bully George Tooney, Sam's older brother Rocky and his friends Clyde and Marty plan to pretend it's Sam's birthday to "invite" George on a boat trip in which they would dare him to strip naked, jump in the lake, and run home naked. But when Sam, his girlfriend Millie, Rocky, and Clyde see George as not much of a bad guy, they want to call off the plan, but Marty refuses. Will the plan go ahead as planned?

that I can really ask you to do,

is not tell too many people.

Because we didn't really invite

a lot of people, and...

And, you know, everyone knows

everybody in this town.

And you tell your parents,

parents will tell other parents,

and those parents will tell their kids.

And pretty soon everyone

who didn't get invited

will be sitting at home, crying.

We don't want that, do we?

There you go.

So do you want me to pick you up

at noon? Awesome!

So I will see you at noon, George.

Awesome. Have a great day. Bye.

- Oh, God.

- What did he say?

He said he would love to go.

He'd love to go.

Oh, I'd love to go.

I'd love to... If you could just...

I'd love, love, love to go.

Oh, I'd love to go! Come here.

- Say "uncle."

- Uncle.

- Uncle who?

- Uncle Martini!

Kiss my ass, Mr. Shaham.

Kiss my ass, Mr. Estes.

Kiss my ass, Ms. Johnson.

Kiss my ass, Mr. Rosenthal.

Sh*t.

Hey! What's up with my shooter,

twerp face.

Target practice.

It's 11 a.m. In the morning

for chrissakes.

Most people are doing cartwheels

by 11, Kile.

Aren't you supposed to be

in school?

F*** school.

I don't see you in school.

And besides, you're not Dad.

Come here.

Come here!

Yeah, you're right, I'm not Dad.

Dad didn't yank as hard as I do.

I don't really want to hear about Dad,

you understand?

- You understand?

- Yes.

Now, hand me my gun.

Look, stupid.

You ever take this

without my permission again,

I guarantee it, you'll be sorry.

- You understand?

- Yeah.

- You get it?

- Yes.

Kiss my ass, Kile.

Things to say to Sam

on our date.

One.

So...

Sam, it's a beautiful day, isn't it?

Two.

Are you happy

or sad

that we're leaving

Rollins next year?

Three.

So, what's your father do

for a living again?

Oh, he has a car-stereo company.

Do you believe in God?

That's a weird question.

So, what's it like being a male?

OK, stupid question.

My name is George.

This is the inside of my mind.

This is my mother.

My mom works out every day.

And this is my street.

This is the street I live on.

- What are we doing?

- You're gonna like this.

Isn't that George Tooney?

Yeah, he's coming

to the river with us.

- Why?

- Sammy, don't you tell

your girlfriend nothing?

- What's he talking about, Sam?

- You should've told her, Sam.

All right, everyone.

He's coming. Be nice to him.

Millie, it's supposed to be part

of the surprise. We...

Happy birthday, Sammy.

Hi, George.

Glad you could make it.

You know everybody?

- Yeah, sure. Hey, everybody.

- Hey.

- What's happening, George?

- Hey, Georgie.

- Hi, George.

- Hey, Millie.

We ready?

- What are you doing?

- Making a documentary.

- Of what?

- Of things.

Like Sam opening his present.
