The Way Way Back Page #2

young lady. All right?

Why don't you go to the beach, honey?

You'll have fun.

We're just going to

be unpacking here.

We might be doing

some other stuff, too.

Mmm.

(CLEARS THROAT)

That's our cue, kids.

Come on.

Now, listen, I am still having my

annual Fourth of July Clambake.

And it will

bleed into your yard.

Okay.

Bob or no Bob,

the party must go on.

He's probably sliding

off our gardener right now.

Let's have a fun summer!

(LAUGHING)

Duncan, are you coming or what?

(SIGHS)

Have fun.

Just keep your distance.

And, just don't die. I don't need

that sh*t hanging over my head.

STEPH:
We can absolutely

party at my place.

My dad only gets to see me,

like, twice a year,

so he totally just

wants me to be happy.

That's exactly the type of

parent I'm going to be.

I'm gonna do drugs

with my kids.

Oh, my God. I forgot.

Willem broke up with Jessica!

(GASPS) No!

Good. I don't get her face.

It's like she fell on it.

Oh, my God! Susanna,

you have to get on that this summer.

Yeah.

Chad!

Chad!

Chad!

What?

I want to go in the water!

Then, go!

Baby, I'm right in the middle of tossing.

We talked about this.

All right.

He's being weird.

Let's go.

Ew! What are you

staring at, perv?

Where is that kid from, anyway?

Albany.

He and his mom.

My dad says they live

in a one-bedroom apartment.

Tragic.

I know, right?

Uh, Susanna.

We're all swimming!

(SIGHS)

GIRL 1:
What is her deal?

GIRL 2:
I don't know.

She's been like that since we got here.

Duncan. We were just

coming to find you

This is Peter.

Hey, Duncan.

Hey.

Oh.

Just stare at the bridge of his nose.

That's what I do.

Mom.

Are you shitting me?

If you wore the patch,

I wouldn't have to keep

telling people that, would I?

Duncan, I thought you and Peter

should hang out this summer.

Lord knows he brought enough

of his Star Wars dolls.

They're action figures!

And they're classics!

Please.

They lose value if I take

them out of the box.

But we can still have

awesome battles with them.

He needs human contact.

He's having far too many

conversations with those dolls.

No, I'm not!

Should we set up a time for you

two to get together tomorrow?

Um...

I should check with my mom.

Oh. Okay.

Don't stand us up.

We know where you live!

(LAUGHS)

I told you.

Your eye makes people uncomfortable.

You're the worst parent.

That is your father talking.

Did he tell you to say that?

Yeah.

He did?

Yes.

That's terrible.

And I can't fight

this feelin' anymore

Forgotten what

I started fightin' for

It's time to bring

the ship into the shore

And throw away...

(MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY)

Not doing it.

JOAN:
You put it on.

Fire burns just like me
