Hesher Page #5

Synopsis: T.J., a high school freshman, lost his mother two months before in a car accident: his father pops pills and sits on the couch; his grandmother holds things together, chatting and cooking. T.J. wants the car back from the salvage yard where the owner's son is a bully. By happenstance, Hesher, a foul-mouthed squatter, moves in with T.J's family. T.J. also meets Nicole, a grocery clerk near poverty who helps him once. Hesher involves T.J. in crime, the bully is omnipresent, mom's car is slipping away, dad has checked out, T.J. watches Nicole at work, and his grandma invites him to join her morning walk: the odds are long that T.J. can assemble a family to help him thrive.

when I serviced you in the box?

No.

I have not even afford

to pay rent right now.

Soon I must

start selling stuff.

Here ...

I ...

I have two dollars.

Tragically NOK

I might need them right now.

-Here, take them.

-No.

Oh no. Please,

not a parking ticket.

Oh no!

Damn!

Damn, too.

Damn! Ouch!

Damn.

What have I done to deserve

such a chain reaction of sh*t?

It feels as if no

would notice if I died once.

I would.

I would notice if you died now.

Most displaced I would sit in

a car next to a dead woman.

Please, do not call me lady.

Hi, TJ.

-Hey, Grandma.

Now?

-F***ed her?

-No.

Where were you before?

Therapy. 15.30 I sat there alone.

Sorry, I forgot.

So fine, then.

It is as much your fault

as for me.

I waited outside the school

I told you that I will not go there.

Tell next time

you will not come.

-I did it.

-No.

-Yes, a thousand times.

-Certainly not.

You hear not after.

You just said you do not want to go.

You did not say that you did not.

-What does it matter?

For me it plays an important role.

It means that I'm sitting alone in

a room full of losers.

Guys, be nice.

I do not feel well.

Give me my tablets.

-Fingerpulte your mouse?

-Shut up, dammit!

-TJ.

-What is it?

-Careful what you say!

-Did you hear what he said?

Really like that again,

you go to your room.

Are you starting to punish me now?

Maybe. Is not banning,

there is a lack of accountability.

I had to

to follow you to the police station.

Damn. Too bad you had to

light your ass from the couch

and put on pants

For the first time in mnedvis.

TJ.

You. Now hold it.

Keeping it as soon as I am right?

I will not listen

a word from you.

Okay ...

To hell with this!

Are you satisfied now? What?

Have I missed something?

Oh no.

He said some stupid things.

Threw the plate in the floor.

Then he did it, perhaps most

because he had nothing to say.

The boy was right.

He felt sorry for itself

and went.

I do not know how ...

I wish it was

something more I could do.

-It is really good.

-Thanks, buddy.

You ... What is green and sticky

and smell the bacon?

I do not know, honey.

Think. What is green and sticky

and smell the bacon?

A worm? I do not know.

I lie down on.

I do not feel well.

Yeah.

Hi. Have you been on it now?

-What, dear?

What is green and sticky

and smell the bacon?

I do not know.

Can you do me a favor?

Can you give me the box

standing on the cabinet?

What then? This?

Kermit the Frog's finger.

For you know ... Miss Piggy.

-What is that?

-Medical cigarettes.

Could you light

a match to me?

Sure.

If I look at it there?

I'll be right back.

Do I get it?

-What is it?

-There is a water pipe.
