Rumble Fish Page #3

isn't it, Steve?

- Better get on home, boy.

- Yes, sir.

You know, I'd watch the company I kept

if I were you.

I really thought

he'd left town for good.

Yeah, maybe he missed you

too much, man.

Maybe he'd to come back

just to see you.

You know, we'd all be better off

if you'd stayed gone.

I got him!

- I got him!

- Lay him right down.

- OK. Easy, easy.

- Put him down easy.

Oh, my God, he's bleeding!

He's bleeding everywhere.

Keep him still.

All right, just hold him now.

What are you gonna do?

Do something!

- Where's the old man?

- He ain't home.

Why don't you help him?

I'm just gonna take a look.

Here, take a swig of this.

That's a lot of blood.

Oh, f***!

Ah! F***!

- Ah!

- What are you doin'? That must hurt!

He oughta go to a doctor!

- He's been hurt worse than this.

- That could get infected! Don't touch it.

Relax. All right?

They'd have to cut my side off.

- Where'd you go, man?

- I went to California.

Stay down, all right?

F***. California's nice, huh?

What do you think California's like?

Like all that sh*t you see

in the movies, man.

Blondes walking around.

The Beach Boys.

Palm trees...

The ocean, man.

How was the ocean? Huh?

- Yeah, I didn't get to the ocean.

- No?

No, I didn't get to the ocean.

California got in the way.

Yeah?

California got in the way?

Thought California was on the coast.

Don't talk so much.

Come on, Steve! Cut the sh*t!

It's not bleeding as bad.

He looks different.

I think it's the tan.

Yeah, I guess

you get a tan in California, huh?

What's wrong with him?

He goes deaf sometimes.

He's colour blind, too.

A lot of people are colour blind.

It's no big deal.

He looks so old.

I forget he's just 21.

Yeah, that's pretty old.

No, he looks really old.

Like... 25 or something.

Steve, you know what,

I've been thinking.

I think that when I get older

I'm gonna look a lot like him.

No way.

What? Tell me what's different.

For one thing...

The Motorcycle Boy?

I never know what he's thinking.

But you, ha...

I always know what you're thinking.

Russell James?

I really missed you, man.

I thought you were gone for good.

Not me, man.

I got homesick.

'You'll notice that the students

are working on the machines.

'I want you to learn

how they are dressed.

'One of the most important aspects

of safety is eye protection.

'State law requires us

to furnish you with eye protection.

'It's probably one of the most important

requirements that we teach all year.

'After all, safety is the number one thing

we try to get over in shop.

'Regarding eye protection,

we have three devices that we use -

'your face shield, your eye goggles... '

...talking and she made us copy it
