Becoming Redwood Page #3

---

Yeah, your mom doesn't

really live in Oregon,

she lives in California.

She has another family.

Redwood! Redwood!

Wait up!

Come on, redwood,

wait up!

Did you see

Charlie's angels

last night?

The girls discovered

a black market

for babies, for real!

You know I'm not allowed

to watch television,

and that it isn't real.

Well, farrah fawcett

is the most beautiful woman

in the whole world,

and that's for real.

Yeah, well,

Jack nicklaus is real too,

and he's the best golfer

in the world,

maybe even

the entire universe.

Farrah would

beat him easily.

Okay, no! No way!

Jack has

five green jackets.

Well, farrah's married

to the $6-million man,

you know.

Do you even know

what the green jacket is?

Here.

When you win

the masters,

you get a specially fitted

green jacket just for you.

It's like magic,

and it can

change everything.

Well, maybe Jack has

a magical green jacket,

but my dad says

farrah could suck

the chrome off a bumper.

I gotta go.

What's up?

Nothing, I just...

Gotta go.

Can I come over?

Not today, Ruby.

I'm sorry.

But you never let me come over.

What's up?

A grey van

followed me home.

Okay, get in.

Go get your things.

Dad?

Red, you know the drill...

go get your things.

Hey, jonno.

Hey, kid.

What's up?

There's cops outside, man.

Gotta get rid of the coke.

Come on, jonno!

They got the place surrounded.

What?

All the doors are covered.

Get yourself

a good lawyer, all right?

Dad?

Red! Stay put, red.

Give me a minute with him.

- Listen, I can't do that.

- Come on!

It's against protocol.

Screw protocol!

You're a rat!

Ah!

Red...

It's gonna be okay,

man, all right?

You're gonna be

just fine.

Ow! Oh!

Come on, red!

Let's go.

- Get down! Now! Police!

- Down on the ground!

All right, all right!

- Down on the ground!

- All right!

It's gonna be all right, red,

it's gonna be okay.

Just chill, man.

- Just... oh!

- No!

Your bus is leaving

in 10 minutes, redwood.

We've contacted

your mother,

and she's gonna pick you up

somewhere near Redding.

I know

it's a long journey,

but you'll be there

in no time.

Look, I know things

are tough right now,

but we'll work

everything out.

Okay?

You must be tired.

It's a long trip,

isn't it?

I...

I got to apologize

right away

for the living

situation at the house.

It's kind of cramped,

but it's all we've got

right now.

Redwood, I'm not sure

what your father has told you.

This has

taken us all by surprise.

I have two older boys.

Josh is 15

and Todd is 13.

You play golf?

Yeah.

Bet you're pretty good.

I'm tied

with Jack nicklaus

with two holes left

at Augusta national.

Ruben says I might have

a chance to beat him.
