My Bodyguard Page #2

Synopsis: Clifford Peache is the new kid in Lake View High School. Faced with all the stress that role entails he makes his situation worse by insulting Moody, the leader of a group of toughs who extort lunch money from kids. These punks pretend to be bodyguards for the kids to protect them from Linderman who, it is rumored, killed his brother in cold blood. Clifford befriends the sullen Linderman and hires him as his bodyguard. When Moody ups the ante, Linderman must decide whether fighting for what he believes in, with his haunted past and image, is justified.

just the local mass murderer.

Does anybody know if

Ricky Linderman is in school or not?

Probably in New York climbing

the Empire State building.

Thank you, Mr. Moody.

Clifford...

P-E-A-C-H-E.

- Clifford, is that "Peach" or "Peachy"?

- "Peach."

Knew he was a fruit.

[Chuckles]

What did you say, Melvin?

- Melvin?

- Melvin?

I don't go by that no more, Clarice.

Fair enough, you call me Ms. Jump.

What shall we call you?

M. Big M.

I like that.

Is that "B.M." for short?

That kid's gonna get it.

You've got nerve, even if

you're not gonna live long.

You and me, we're gonna have

a little talk after school.

Right?

Right? Huh?

You know that was so dumb

what you said to Moody.

I never saw anybody

put him down before.

- I hope you get away with it.

- Hold this, will you?

Don't let him catch you in the

halls alone, or on the stairs either.

Hold it over the bowl.

Or especially in the bathrooms.

I never go to the bathroom here,

if I can help it.

- What do you do?

- Hold it in.

Stay away from liquids.

- That's ridiculous.

- You think so?

They say one kid got thrown out

a window. He's a vegetable now.

- That's dumb. Who told you that?

- Plenty of people.

Another guy had his eye kicked out.

Total gross-out.

- Never found the eyeball either.

- How are we doing here?

What do we got?

- You've done this before.

- Yeah.

- Did Moody do that?

- What?

Kick the guy's eye out.

I'm not saying he did,

and I'm not saying he didn't.

But you're better off

paying him protection money.

- You pay Moody protection?

- Shh!

You better believe it.

Lots of kids do.

He takes their lunch money every day.

Now I'm brown-baggin' it.

Now he claims he's gonna

take my bus fare.

I don't think you shouldn't let him

get away with it.

I know,

but I'm addicted to breathing.

[Bell Rings]

Let's go.

[Horn Honks]

Lock up in 15 minutes.

There's a little party after school,

Peachy. You're the guest of honor.

- Yeah, but I have a car waiting.

- Yeah, I know.

Hey, Moody, got a present for you.

Just a second.

Bring a dollar every day, got it?

Get out of here.

Hey, it's Peach Pit.

What do you say?

Just trying to make friends.

Don't you want to be friends?

- All right. Here.

- What about me?

Sure. Shake hands with Dubrow.

How you doing?

Where'd you go

to school before here?

- South Side Academy.

- Ooh, costs a lot of money to go there.

- You rich?

- No.

Hey, that's nothing

to be ashamed of, man.

I'm not ashamed.

- Knew he was rich.

- No, I'm not, really.

Hey, listen, pal,

it's obvious you got bread.

Question is, you got sense?

I'm serious.

Do you have sense?

Hmm? Hmm?

- I think so. Sometimes.

- I think so too.
