Ping Pong Summer Page #5

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.

her husband is gross.

Hey, Jim!

Ha! Oh, look at that.

The Miracles have la-la-landed.

Let me look at you.

Hey there, sweetheart.

- Hi, Jim.

- Aww, give me a big kiss.

- Oh...

- Mmm.

So beautiful.

Hey there, Miss Vampire.

You need some Vitamin D.

Mmm.

And hey there, sir.

Look at you, you're all grown up.

Maybe not physically, but

you're aging. Right?

You got to let me

in on your secret.

How do you stay looking so young?

I don't know.

Alright, we'll talk

about it, alright?

- Brendan.

- How are you, Jim?

How are you? Welcome

to the beach, sir.

- Welcome!

- Well, what do you looksie!

Aww, there she is.

Hey, sis.

- Peggy, hi!

- You look great!

Mm-hm.

Aww, Brendan.

Ha-ha! That's a kiss.

Yeah.

Mm!

Uh, what happened to you?

Why, you could use

a blood transfusion.

Good to see you, Michelle!

- That's what I said.

- Mister Man.

- Come on!

- Sweet.

- Crab time.

- Well, let's get some crabs!

Mmm!

When did you catch those crabs?

Yesterday, I emptied

the traps yesterday.

Yesterday?

Yes.

Why aren't you eating any crabs?

I'm a vegetarian.

What?

You're what?

Meat is murder.

I'm never eating

another animal again.

But crabs aren't animals.

Well, then what are they?

They're crabs, right?

- Right. Exactly.

- Right.

So, what have you guys been up to?

We haven't been doing a whole heck of

a lot, to tell you the truth, Peggy.

Isn't that what summer

vacation's all about, right?

- Exactly.

- Yeah.

I hope you guys are sunning

yourselves properly.

Because if you want to get,

you know, full coverage,

you want to position yourself so you

want to get the inside of your thigh

and the back of your leg

at the same time, right?

You don't want any tan lines.

You don't just lay flat.

You got to work it.

That's why I have full coverage.

You are so sexy, sweetheart.

Redford made a new

friend named Teddy

and they've been playing

ping pong every afternoon

at the Fun Hub.

- What?

- What?

They've been doing what?

Playing ping pong.

It's like tennis, only smaller.

I believe the real name

is "table tennis."

Oh, I know what frigging

table tennis is, okay?

What I don't get

is why you play an indoor hobby

when you're at the beach.

What's the matter, Rad?

Ocean not good enough for you?

We've been going to the ocean.

It's just, I don't want

to get too much sun.

There is no such thing

as too much sun.

You just need the right lotion.

- Thank you!

- You're welcome.

This is from my "Horny

Shell" series, right here.

They take some time

to get just right,

but like most great

art, it is worth it.

You actually sell these things?

- Oh, yeah. They do real good up in Rehobeth.

- Huh.
