The Kid Page #4

Synopsis: Russ Duritz (Bruce Willis) is a wealthy L.A. image consultant, but as he nears 40, he's cynical, dogless, chickless, estranged from his father (Daniel von Bargen), and he has no memories of his childhood. One night he surprises an intruder (Spencer Breslin), who turns out to be a kid, almost 8 years old. There's something oddly familiar about the chubby lad, whose name is Rusty. The boy's identity sparks a journey into Russ's past that the two of them take - to find the key moment that has defined who Russ is. Two long-suffering women look on with disbelief: Russ's secretary, Janet(Lily Tomlin), and his assistant, the lovely Amy, to whom Rusty takes a shine. What, and who, is at the end of this journey?

with the alarm company first

thing in the morning, okay?

There is no way anybody

should ever get inside those gates.

Ever! As a matter of fact,

get 'em on the phone

right now, and you tell them...

- It's 3:
00 a.m.

- Janet, I don't care if

it's 3:
00 in the morning.

They're supposed to be

a 24-hour security service, okay?

I want the sensitivity

set on ten.

I want electrocution.

I want charred flesh. Do you understand?

- Write it down. Janet.

- "Charred flesh."

- Write it down!

It was probably just some neighbourhood

kid. I don't know why you're so upset.

- I'm not upset. I'm just mad.

- Okay. Mad. Not upset.

- You know, maybe we should get

a new security company, okay?

- Uh-huh.

I want rottweilers.

I want big, scary rottweilers.

I want the guy

who trains the rottweilers

to be afraid to come over here, okay?

- I want a moat with lava.

- "Moat with lava."

Trolls with that?

Evil ones?

No, Janet. No trolls.

- Hello? Uh. Russ. It's Dad. Uh...

- Hold on a second, Janet.

- Honey, I'm so sorry.

- I know I asked earlier...

but. Um. It'd be nice

to have you here for dinner.

I know Joanne and the kids

would love to see you.

And. Uh. Well. If your

schedule opens up...

- Janet, I am going to bed.

- Good idea. Me too.

I do not wish to talk to you

or anyone else...

on this planet

for the next three hours.

- Guess what. Neither do I.

- Goodbye.

"Rusty."

Dad, you are really

gettin' weird.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, stop! Stop!

Come back!

Come back here! Hey!

Gotcha! Ow! Ah!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Get it outta here!

Look out, idiot!

Move it, you jerk!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Uh, uh, good evening.

Uh, a kid just...

ran in here a moment ago,

and, uh...

Any of you see anything?

Can any of you see anything?

For we can fly

'Cause this kid who, uh,

was just here...

Up. Up and away

- He...

- See you later.

Hey! Officer!

The world's a nicer place

in my beautiful balloon

It wears a nicer face

Uh-uh.

Good morning, Doctor.

I'd like to get right to the point,

if you don't mind.

I've got a meeting in ten minutes.

You're entitled

to a 50-minute hour.

Thank you, but I only require

a five-minute hour...

or however long it takes you

to write a prescription.

I see.

Uh, we should talk about this.

Why don't you sit down.

No, thank you.

I don't want to sit down.

It all starts with sitting down.

You sit down,

and then before you know it...

twelve years has gone by,

and you're still talking about...

the time you saw

your mother naked in the shower.

You saw your mother

naked in the shower?

No! I'm just saying

I'm happy to stand, okay?

Look, I-I-I don't want therapy.

- I don't need therapy.
