Why not?

Don't do that! Put that down!

Nothing. lt's nothing.

Myrna, is that all?

The new drapes are too short.

Does she care how much it costs?

Poor Leon!

Watch it! My son!

l want to talk to you, lrwin.

l know it's summer vacation, but

maybe you can look over the receipts,

give us the benefit of your business

management studies, check my figures.

l wanna work with the men, Dad.

- What?

l wanna work with the men!

Listen, l wanna be

one of the working class!

Like Mao says, ''Workers of the

world unite.'' - You, a college man

with a 20,000-dollar education,

and you wanna wash cars? - Listen ...

That book!

l don't want to see that book again!

All right, Pop, hang loose.

Go ahead, wash cars!

All right!

Hang in there, we're makin'

it happen. J.B. here on KGYS.

Keep that glide in your stride!

lt's 10:

the surf report is good

from Malibu to Newport Beach.

So this next tune's for

all you surfers out there. Hang 10!

And then ... - Looks like the Car Wash

heir wants to play in the water.

Look at that child!

Stoned to the tits!

Wash cars! - l'm the first human being

to go through a car wash!

Number 1! Number 1!

Hey, Mr. B!

This is no playground, kid.

Why do other car washes got fancy

brushes, and you still wash by hand?

That's our feature: We do it

all by hand. The personal touch!

Can't you read the sign?

- You're just too cheap for machines!

Get outta here. Beat it!

To keep fresh and feminine, use

Because it's made for you.

l drink it every day, can you dig it?

Joel Schumacher

Joel T. Schumacher (born August 29, 1939) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. Schumacher rose to fame after directing hit films of his decade St. Elmo's Fire (1985), The Lost Boys (1987) and Flatliners (1990). He later went on to direct John Grisham adaptations The Client (1994) and A Time to Kill (1996). His films Falling Down (1993) and 8mm (1999) competed for Palme d'Or and Golden Bear respectively. In 1993, he signed on to direct the next installments of the Batman film series. Schumacher-directed Batman films Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997) received mixed-to-negative reactions from both critics and the public. After the Batman films, Schumacher pulled back from blockbusters and returned to making minimalist films such as Tigerland (2000) and Phone Booth (2002), both earning positive reviews. He also directed The Phantom of the Opera (2004), The Number 23 (2007) and two episodes of House of Cards. Known for casting young actors, Schumacher helped actors like Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, and Matthew McConaughey to launch careers. more…
