Thanks.

Lawyer on welfare.

Hey, how are you?

How was your trip?

I went to California.

- How was California?

- Huh...

- It was one laugh after another.

- California?

Even better than here.

- I don't know.

- Oh, boy. Oh really?

No, Dad. I was there.

You wanna compare notes, Dad?

- Huh?

- Nah...

- OK. That's it! That's it!

- No, no, no, no.

Hey, come on, guys.

Cut the sh*t, will you? Cut it out.

- Cut it out!

- That's it! That's it!

You're not gonna have it, no!

Come on, Dad.

Hey! No more!

No more.

You're exactly like your mother.

Russell James...

I want you to please be more careful.

You know that chick, Cassandra,

I saw her, she said she wasn't hooked.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Well, I believe her.

- You do?

- Sure.

You know what happened to people

who didn't believe Cassandra?

Yeah. The Greeks got 'em.

Know what I mean?

- What?

- The Greeks got 'em.

Man, what the f*** did the Greeks

have to do with anything, huh?

You think I care what the Greeks?

No, I don't care.

- I don't give a sh*t what the Greeks...

- Rusty James? Will you do me a favour?

- What?

- Come over here.

Let's have a little more respect

around here from now on, huh?

F*** you.

No, I'm only kidding.

I'm glad you're back.

- Really.

- Come here, come here!

- Come on!

- I hold on your pants!

'Time is a funny thing.'

Time is a very peculiar item.

You see, when you're young,

you're a kid, you got time.

You've got nothing but time.

Throw away a couple of years here,

a couple of years there...

It doesn't matter. You know?

The older you get you say,

"Jesus, how much I got?"

I got thirty-five summers left,

think about it. Thirty-five summers.

Smokey, man, you sure come up

with some good ideas, bro.

Man, that is what I'm here for.

- Ooh, let's get f***ed up!

- Where's the guys?

- Hey!

- Hung over again?

No, I'm sick. Really. Feel.

Wanna write me out a late pass?

Mr Harrigan wants to see you

in his office.

Oh, yeah?

Great. What does he want?

He'll tell you.

Rusty, you've been in here

to see me before.

Is this your daughter, Mr Harrigan?

- She's kinda cute.

- You start at Cleveland next Monday.

You're suspended till then.

Fine! Suspend the hell outta me!

You think I care?

The only reason I'm going to this f***ing

school is cos my friends are here, man.

Think I give a sh*t? I don't give a sh*t!

I don't give a sh*t, man!

You suspend me?

I f***ing quit!

Bye! Call me!

Hi, Rusty James!

Boy, is she mad at you.

Hey!

What's up, Patty?

Hey, what's the matter, babe? Huh?

What's the matter?

Please, don't touch me, Rusty James.

What's the matter?

What are you so upset about?
