Crossing The Bridge Page #3

Yeah? Well how much do you get

for a joke like that?

Hey, numbnuts, don't touch the tools!

You want it in English?

Don't... Touch...

The... Tools.

A, a beer?

You're drinking a beer?

The place is still open, man. You tryin'

to get me fired, you waste-of-a-life?

Hey, rinny, just let me get this straight.

Tim should or he shouldn't

touch the tools, which one?

I'm not quite clear on this. He can

touch the tools and not have a beer,

or he can have a beer

but not touch the tools?

Which one? You're not being clear here.

You gotta make that point.

Danny's mom,

she died three weeks after

we graduated high school.

The head of our football team's

booster club,

she hung in just long enough...

To see her son take a state championship.

Danny never said a word to me

about his mother.

He never said a word about her to anyone.

These trips here were the closest

he ever came to letting me in.

You really want to be a writer?

Are you serious about it? Yeah, I'm serious.

All right.

I'm having dinner tonight

with my friend, Manny goldfarb,

the old guy I told you about.

The one that got his thing

stuck in a watermelon? No, no.

That guy... forget about him

already, will you, please?

Manny goldfarb is the writer, the one

who wrote for the "New York times."

He's in town tonight.

I'm having dinner with him.

If your highness would care

to join us, perhaps, you know,

you could pick his brains.

Thanks, thanks a lot, but I can't.

I'm going out with Danny and Tim tonight.

Danny and Tim!

Danny and Tim!

Danny and Tim.

We're goin' over the border to Canada to a,

a, a strip joint.

Excuse me.

Is this important?

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

As a writer, you know, I feel

that it is important that...

You know, that I live, you know, as much...

as much life as I possibly can.

You know, to seize every moment, to just...

don't tell me.

All the great writers spent hours and hours

looking at fat, naked Canadian women...

Before they learned

how to write, is that it?

I didn't say hours and hours,

Uncle Alby, but...

I bet the really good ones did their share.

Relax.

We're going into Canada to check

out the bridge. No big deal.

To see if it's cool to smuggle dope

across it. That's a big deal, Danny.

Even if we do this and go

all the way to Toronto,

I want to stop at u. Of t.

And see Carol, okay?

She dumped you two years ago. Let it go.

I can't let it go, you know that.

I'd love to, okay?

I'd love to be like you.

Sneak into some girl's house in the middle of

the night and pull wild stuff like that off!

Do yourself a favor and

forget about Carol brockton.

Why, because you f***ed her?

Why don't you do me a favor

and admit it already?
