Be Kind Rewind Page #4

- You gotta rewind the tapes.

That's the lamest excuse

I've ever heard.

It's totally non-sequitury,

what you're saying to me.

- It's a lame excuse?

- Yeah, it's lame.

Really? And the power plant

is controlling us?

That's not nonsense?

That's not paranoia?

Okay, it sounds crazy,

and you know why?

- Because it's affecting my brain too.

- Mm-hm.

It's paranizing it.

Mr. Fletcher left me

in charge of the store.

Me. He trusted me with the store.

Do you know what that means?

No, actually I don't.

Maybe you could explain it to me.

- It means that I'm not doing this.

- What?

- I'm not doing this with you.

- Okay.

So you'll just do anything

Mr. Fletcher says...

...even though, by the way,

he's not your real father.

- So... So what?

- And he's completely illiterate.

- He's not...

- But you won't do anything for me...

...your best friend,

who has a melting brain.

Can l...? Can l...? Can I help you

make a selection? Because if not...

... I'm gonna have to ask you

to make space for the other customers.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize

it was rush hour.

I won't bother you anymore.

You know, it does get busy unexpectedly.

And you know, he's not illiterate.

First of all, because if he was illiterate,

smart guy...

... he wouldn't be able to write:

"Peek your edge too."

Which is... It's probably Buddhist

or something.

It's like... Like a chant.

"Peek your... Pick your edge too."

- Smart guy.

- I'm not saying he's illiterate.

I mean, he could just use some

night-schooling to perfect his spelling.

Just go.

Slow. Slower.

You all right?

Come on over. It's easy.

Freeze.

They always come at night

and bother me.

- Oh, come on, it's my turn tonight.

- No way. This is my baby.

Department of Homeland Security.

Wake up.

Be invisible.

Shh, did you hear something?

Yeah.

There's that ladder again.

What do you think?

I don't know, some kind of ladder gang

or something?

Oh, the ladder gang.

Let's go get some ice cream.

- "Peek your edge too."

- What's so funny?

"Keep Jerry out."

- Who cares about that right now?

- He's not illiterate. "Keep Jerry out."

- He's not illiterate.

- Who cares? Get over...

- What are you doing?

- I can't be here for this.

What are you doing? Mike, no. Mike.

- Mike, put that ladder back.

- I can't let you in the store.

- Mike, you're coming over the thing.

- Mr. Fletcher trusted me.

Mr. Fletcher's not gonna yell at you,

he's way too laid back.

I know he's not gonna yell at me.

That's part of the problem.

He's very good to me. I can't

let him down. I can't disappoint him.

Listen, you don't need me.

- You're almost there.

- I'll never speak to you.
