The Making of 'Cry Baby' Page #5

---

So please take your duck-and-cover

positions immediately.

It is only an air-raid drill.

There are no atom bombs

actually being dropped.

You were incredible, honey.

Where did you learn to sing like that?

Just practicing.

Baldwin.

[Siren alarm recedes]

All right, boys and girls.

[Sighs] That's the all-clear signal.

You can come out now.

Everyone is safe and sound.

[Motorcycle engine idling]

[All gasping]

Stay in your places.

[People chattering]

Get back to your room.

(boy #1) Is he here? Is he here?

(boy #2) I can't see anything.

That's him. Cry-Baby Walker.

[Sighing]

I'm sorry about this

afternoon, Mrs. Vernon-Williams.

Is Allison home?

'Cause, uh, I'm gonna sing tonight

and I thought she might like to hear me.

[Groans]

Mind your manners.

This is what we think

of your kind of music.

[Grunting]

How dare you hit him!

You don't own me, Baldwin.

I have the right to hear Cry-Baby sing.

Don't get all worked up, honey.

The punk got what he deserved.

[All gasping]

Come on.

Allison.

Get up. Go! Go! Go!

Hop on, honey.

Just one minute,

young lady...

I'll take good care of her,

Mrs. Vernon-Williams. I promise.

And it's okay about my face.

It don't hurt much.

Please.

It's not a school night,

and I have been a good girl.

Just one night of

happiness, that's all I ask.

But what if you get your dress dirty?

[Sighs] Thank you, Grandmother.

# Drinking beer in a cabaret #

# And dancing with a blonde #

##[I'm So Young by Students playing]

# I have a girlfriend #

# She says I'm her only one #

# We want to get married #

# But we're so young #

# So young #

# Can't marry no one #

# So young #

# Can't marry no one ##

You okay?

I didn't get no axle

grease on you, did I?

No. No. I'm fine.

Been to Turkey Point before?

My Grandmother wouldn't let me.

She calls it the Redneck Riviera.

It's where I live. Beautiful, ain't it?

It's really wild.

But I'm... I'm afraid that

I'm not going to fit in here.

You know, with your friends and stuff.

You just look Square.

Underneath it all, I
