the welfare of this child.

I have to see that he is returned here

for the kind of treatment he needs.

Now, granted,

the police are looking.

We've hired someone to find him.

Mr. Putnam.

Mr. Putnam retrieves

runaways professionally.

He's going to bring back Jimmy.

What about Corey?

Well, Corey, uh, wants to

run away, doesn't he?

I mean, even if we brought him

back, would it do any good?

You know, Bateman, I, uh, I

always knew that you were a jerk.

I just, until now, thought

it was guilt by association.

Pop.

What?

I want to go with you. Forget it. You

can get a ride back with Bateman.

I don't think so.

Uh, Mr. Woods. Excuse me.

Just so you know, I make my

money by bringing kids in,

and I don't make it if someone

else brings the kid in first.

You catch my drift?

So let's not be getting

in my way, okay?

Have a nice day.

We better drop by the house,

pick up some clothes.

- End of the line, Ben?

- Yeah, it's my last stop.

Come on.

Do you have to make

such a pig out of yourself?

Come on.

Stay there.

Hey! Jimmy!

Hey, wait up!

How about that cupcake?

We got plenty of Twinkies.

Personally, I'm a Ho Ho man myself.

How about you?

Okay.

So, according to this

we're in Goblin Valley.

Great.

I mean, I mean, I mean, it couldn't

be Happy Valley or Wonderful Valley.

Goblin Valley.

Why not Ax Murderer's Valley?

Great.

There's a bench outside. The bus'll be

here any minute. Stay here for a minute.

Well, go ahead. Play.

Two tickets

to California, please.

You got someplace

specific in mind,

or would you just like

to be dumped at the border?

Is Los Angeles specific enough?

That's $226.

Well, we only have $27.30.

Where does that get us?

Nowhere. It's $34

just to St. George, Utah.

That's it?

Hey, Scotty, some of those high

school kids are up on the ridge

throwin' rocks

at the highway again.

Chase 'em on home,

will you? Over.

50,000? You got 50,000

on Double Dragon?

Hey, Chester.

Hi, Mike.

Here's Mrs. Johnson's

complaints this month.

Not again.

How'd you do it? You only

played for five minutes.

How the hell did you get

50,000 on Double Dragon?

I never got 50,000 on Double Dragon.

How'd you do it?

Hi. I'm Haley.

If you don't tell me what

you're doing, I'm gonna scream.

Uh, could you scream quietly?

What, do you think I'm stupid?

I saw you look at that cop.

What's his problem?

He's just shy.

- Shy a few bricks I'd say.

- No, he's okay.

He just kicked ass

on Double Dragon.

Get out of here. Him?

Yeah. He could wax your tail.

No way.

Wanna bet?

How much?

$6.70.

I don't have $6.70.

Well, that's okay, 'cause,

uh, you got a bus ticket.

You could cash it in.

David Chisholm

David Chisholm was a Scottish international rugby union player.He was capped for Scotland fourteen times between 1964-68. He also played for Melrose RFC. He was commonly linked with Alex Hastie, according to Allan Massie: "They played together for Melrose for eleven seasons, in the course of which Chisholm scored more than a thousand points for the club... As a pair their understanding made them more than the sum of two individuals. Did Hastie ever lose Chisholm in any of the thirteen internationals they played together? It was their joint ability to tidy up bad ball and even turn it to advantage that made them the most secure of partnerships. Both tackled better than many wing forwards, and they would have revelled in the modern game... Their record of going ten internationals without defeat is unparalleled."His brother Robin Chisholm was also capped for Scotland. more…
