Crossing The Bridge Page #4

Synopsis: An off-screen narrator, Mort Golden, takes us back to winter around 1975, the year he was 21. He and his two buddies, Tim and Danny, have a fateful trip over the bridge from Detroit into Canada. The three of them are going nowhere in life, although Mort has thoughts of being a writer, while his mom wants him to go to college. He and his pals contemplate making a quick fortune transporting drugs over the border in their beat-up Buick, "the war wagon." Mort's also hopelessly in love with a girl he dated briefly a couple years before. With border inspectors, Tim's temper, and Danny's bottled up emotions, is there any way this can end well?

I don't care.

It's not a big deal.

I just want to hear you say the

words, "I f***ed Carol brockton."

Golden, golden! I don't care!

"I f***ed Carol brockton."

You are driving me crazy. What does it

matter if I did f*** this girl anyway?

It was three years before

you ever went out with her.

You're an a**hole!

You did!

Wha... look at you! You did!

I'm not saying I f***ed her. I'm

saying, if I did, what does it matter?

It matters to me. Because it matters. Why?

You went out with this girl for a

month, the month after high school.

Do you think this girl sat around waiting

for the month she was going out with you?

I don't think so. You know, this

may sound very hard to believe,

but some people didn't

have sex during high school.

I know it may come as a big shock to you.

Besides you, name one.

And don't say Mary Ellen castilliano,

because that would be a very sick joke.

That's what I thought.

Could we go in here?

Anyway, I had sex in high school.

With who? Where?

This chick at summer camp. Summer camp?

That's real traceable, mort.

Get out!

Get the hell outta here!

You and your damn friends, go on, get out!

You get in back. No way, man. I got shotgun.

Bullshit! Get in back. I don't

want to have to hurt you, mort.

No.

I'm not screwing around here, mort.

I'm in no mood.

Now hop in the back.

Why should I, Tim? Why should I?

Because you value your life.

So hop your scrawny little ass in back!

Get in, Tim.

You waste-of-a-life!

What's the problem, Tim?

My old man.

He's such a jerk.

So what are you gonna do, kick his ass?

Look, I don't feel like talking, okay?

I hate life. That's healthy. That's healthy.

I hate people.

I have no idea why I'm going to Canada.

As far as I'm concerned, you're

both just a couple of shitholes,

so just shut up and drive.

You guys go ahead in.

I'll be back in a while.

- Park the car here.

- Go have some fun. I'll be back in a while.

What? Hey, where are you goin'?

What are you doin'?

We might as well go inside

as long as we're here.

What a dick!

He leaves me here in the

middle of Canada... With you.

Let's go inside, Tim.

He'll be back.

What a jerk!

Naked women, Tim.

We've got naked women in there.

You love naked women. We have

to go in there to see them.

There...

Come on, let's go.

Besides, you might have forgotten,

I happen to be a lot of fun

at these places. Yeah, yeah.

I'm serious. Girls at a place

like this love a guy like me.

It's four apiece. I keep the crowd happy.

Stay off the stage.

Where the hell did he go?

I'm gonna break his neck.

Maybe he got lucky.

Where the f*** were you?

Get in.

Where you been?

Just get in.

We'll do a three-way split,
