Ping Pong Summer Page #4

Synopsis: The year is 1985. Rad Miracle is a shy 13-year-old white kid who's obsessed with two things: ping pong and hip hop. During his family's annual summer vacation to Ocean City, Maryland, Rad makes a new best friend, experiences his first real crush, becomes the target of rich, racist local bullies, and finds an unexpected mentor in his outcast next-door neighbor. Ping Pong Summer is about that time in your life when you're treated like an alien by everyone around you, even though you know deep down you're as funky fresh as it gets.

What are you even doing?

Hey, Brad.

It's Rad.

Hey, Brad.

Do you want to play

a game of ping pong?

No, really. Just one game.

I heard you're really good.

Let's just go.

This should be close!

Can we not do this right now?

Yes, we can do this right now.

Hey, I have an idea.

Let's not warm up.

Let's just volley.

"P"...

"I"...

"N"...

"G."

Aww, yeah!

My serve.

Hey, I just remembered, me and Rad

have to be somewhere very important!

Shut up, you black sissy.

Ready?

One serving zero.

Two serving zero.

Three serving zero.

Four serving zero.

Yeah!

Zero serving five.

Zero serving six.

Zero serving seven.

Yes, Lyle!

Zero serving eight.

You're really good.

Zero serving nine!

Rad, forget it! Let's just go home!

Play him some other time.

Rad, no!

Would you shut your greasy head up!

Teddy, I'm sorry.

Sorry only counts in church!

Teddy, wait!

Are you done flirting

with your lover now?

You do realize this is game point?

Inseminate him.

Yeah!

Yes, Lyle!

Smells like skunk in here.

What's up?

That was totally bogus.

I know what you need.

Listen, don't pay any

attention to Lyle.

He thinks he, like, owns Ocean City

just because he drives an

IROC and is super rich

and totally hot and

ridiculously talented

at everything he ever does.

That's really yellow.

Cheese makes everything better.

Sugar makes it the best, though.

Shooooooo-gerrrr.

Why do girls date guys like Lyle?

Because they're dumb.

You don't seem dumb to me.

Yeah, well, you don't know me.

Do you "smort" cocaine?

Do I "snort" cocaine?

Yeah.

Why? Who told you that?

I mean, I've heard

some things, but...

Well, you know what's worse

than people who do cocaine?

What?

People who don't do cocaine

but who gossip about people who

might or might not do cocaine!

I have to go to the bathroom.

What's up, space dork?

I heard from a little birdy

that after we left the Fun Hub,

you were eating crab

au gratin with Stacy.

But that couldn't

have been you, right?

I mean, she only

dates white people.

Give it back.

What, this?

I mean, I'm thirsty.

Milk does a body good, right?

It does your body good!

- Stop, Lyle.

- "Stop, Lyle."

You know, you do look

pretty dehydrated.

Awww, gross!

Back off!

No way. The Town

Weirdo is your mom?

Or are you his grandmom?

I think you might

want to leave, buddy.

"Thank you so much for

protecting me, Weird Mommy!"

Thank you.

Put on your khakis.

We're going to your Aunt Peggy

and Uncle Jim's for dinner.

What happened to you, Radford?

Nothing.

I got hot and thirsty.

Do we have to stay long?

Just a while.

They're so creepy.

Why do we always

have to visit them?

Your sister is weird and
