Hermie, you're not gonna go into

another deathlike trance again, are you?

I swear, Hermie,

I don't know what's come over you.

That's a very old person over there.

I don't see the attraction.

Maybe it's her mind.

Maybe their minds meet and say, ''Hello. ''

Why don't you go

and say hello to her mind, Hermie?

Go on, go say hello.

Cut it out.

Come on. If she's the love of your life,

go say hello to her.

Come on, we want to see you go say hello.

Maybe you're some kind of a hotshot lover

we don't know about.

- Cut it out!

- Say hello.

- Knock it off!

- Come on!

Come on. Go say hello to her, Hermie.

- Go say hello to her.

- Yeah, go say hello.

Come on, we want to see you go say hello.

Hey, lady in the pink suit!

It's Hermie the rape artist!

It's Jack the Ripper!

It's Herman the German, Nazi spy!

- It's a sex fiend!

- It's Hermie the rape artist!

Goddamn!

Oscy, I'll...

Hey, come on, Herm.

Come on.

We were only kidding.

Hermie, it was a joke!

Look out, Oscy! Look out!

Knock it off, Hermie!

Knock it off! Cut it out!

Now I'm gonna let you go, okay?

Okay, now, I'll let you go.

Goddamn it, Hermie! You're really crazy!

You're really crazy, you know that? Crazy!

Jesus.

It's enough, goddamn it! Enough!

Son of a b*tch!

Jesus!

Jesus, Oscy, you killed him.

Oh, sh*t!

Hey, leave him alone, Benjie.

Leave him alone!

The son of a b*tch threw sand in my face.

- Goddamn it, I mean...

- We'll see you later, Hermie, okay?

Bastards!

- Hermie, where're you going?

- The Planet Mongo.

- It's not even 8:00!

- I can't do anything about that!

- What did you have for breakfast?

- An elephant!

- Bring me back a newspaper.

- Okay.

And a Time magazine for your father!

Jesus!

May I offer some assistance?

Oh, yes, you may.

I really didn't expect to buy so much.

I should have brought my wagon.

- Yeah, you should've brought your wagon.

- Yes.

- What you really need is a wagon.

- I think you're right. I can take one.

No, it's okay. It's okay.

If you take some and I take some,

I think we can manage.

- I'll be happy to pay you.

- No, I wouldn't think of it. Really.

My house is a pretty long walk.

- I know where it is.

- You do?

Yeah. It's that way.

- Are you sure it's okay?

- Yeah, it's okay.

- Well, won't you let me take one?

- No, no.

- Do you live on the island?

- In the summer.

- With your family?

- Yeah.

But they don't bother me.

I pretty much go my own way.

Aren't they pretty?

- Oh, yeah.

- I couldn't resist.

I got a 12-page letter today!

- That's nice.

- It sure is.

Hey, Hermie!

Somebody called you.

Not me.

Is your name Hermie?

Yeah.

Well, somebody back there called you.

Herman Raucher (born April 13, 1928) is an American author and screenwriter. He is best known for writing the autobiographical screenplay and novel Summer of '42, which became one of the highest-grossing films and one of the best selling novels of the 1970s, respectively. He began his writing career during the Golden Age of Television, when he moonlighted as a scriptwriter while working for a Madison Avenue advertising agency. He effectively retired from writing in the 1980s after a number of projects failed to come to fruition, though his books remain in print and a remake of one of his films, Sweet November, was produced in 2001. more…
