I deliver perfection...|and don't brag about it! :D
I was 12 going on 13|the first time I saw a dead human being.
It happened in the summer of 1959...
... a long time ago...
... but only if you measure it|in terms of years.
I was living in a small town in Oregon|called Castle Rock.
There were only 1,281 people,|but to me it was the whole world.
It's the Bossman Bob Cormier.|It's a beautiful Friday morning in Portland.
It's 90 KLAM degrees and getting hotter.
Up the ladder with another platter.|It's Bobby Day with "Rockin' Robin"...
... it's boss.
How do you know a Frenchman's been|in your backyard?
I'm French, okay.
Your garbage cans are empty|and your dog's pregnant.
Didn't I just say I was French?
- I knock.|- Shit.
Twenty-nine.
Twenty-two.
Piss up a rope.
Gordie's out, OI' Gordie just bit the bag|and stepped out the door.
Come on, man, deal.
Teddy Duchamp was the craziest guy|we hung around with.
He didn't have much of a chance in life.
His dad was given to fits of rage.
One time he held Teddy's ear to a stove|and almost burned it off.
I knock.
You four-eyed pile of shit.
The "pile of shit" has 1,000 eyes.
What?
What's so funny?|I got thirty, what have you got?
Sixteen.
Go ahead, keep laughing.
You're down to your ride, pal.
Chris Chambers was the leader of our gang|and my best friend.
He came from a bad family|and everyone just knew he'd turn out bad.
Including Chris.
That's not the secret knock.
I forgot the secret knock. Let me in.
Vern.
Come on, you guys, open up.
Man, you guys are not going|to believe this. This is so boss.
Wait till you hear this.
You won't believe it. It's unbelievable.
Let me catch my breath. I ran all the way|from my house.
"I ran all the way home"
Come on. Listen to me, this is boss.
"Just to say I'm sorry"
Okay, forget it.|I don't have to tell you nothin'.
Hold on, you guys. Hold on.|What is it, man?
Great, you won't believe this, sincerely.
"I ran all the way home"
Screw you guys. Forget it.
What is it?
Can you camp out tonight?
I mean, if you tell your folks|we're gonna tent out in my backfield?
I think so.
Except my dad's kind of on a mean streak.|He's been drinking a lot lately.
You got to. Sincerely,|you won't believe this. Can you, Gordie?
Yeah, probably.
So what are you pissing and moaning|about Vern-O?
- I knock.|- What?
You liar! You ain't got no pat hand.
You didn't deal yourself no pat hand.
Make your draw, shitheap.
You guys want to go see a dead body?
I was under the porch digging, you know?
We all understood|what Vern meant right away.
At the beginning of the school year|he had buried a jar of pennies...
... underneath his house.
He drew a treasure map|so he could find them again.
A week later his mom cleaned out|his room and threw away the map.
Vern had been trying to find those pennies|for nine months...
... nine months, man.
You didn't know whether laugh or cry.
Jesus, Billy, we gotta do something.
Why? Who cares?
- We saw him.|- So?
It's nothin' to us. The kid's dead|so it's nothin' to him, neither.
And who gives a shit if they ever find him?|I don't.
It's that kid they're talking about|on the radio.
Brocker or Brower or Flowers,|whatever his name is.
The train must have hit him.
Big fucking deal.
We had all followed|the Ray Brower story closely...
... since he was a kid our age.
Three days before, he left to pick|blueberries and nobody'd seen him since.
I think we should tell the cops.
You don't go squawking to the cops|after you boosted a car.
They'll want to know how we got way out|on Back Harlow Road.
