The Violent Years Page #2

Slowly.

What is this, a gag?

Who are you guys?

Well come on, say something.

You picked on the wrong guy.

Maybe you don't know who I am.

My father's a district attorney.

You could get in a lot of trouble.

Somebody's coming!

Let's get outta here!

Hello, Mickey.

Oh, hi Pat.

Why didn't you call or something?

I'm sorry, honey, I wanted to.

Then why didn't you?

Is it because of...

Mickey, are you ashamed of me?

Ashamed of you?

Honey, is that what you've been thinking?

I've been so worried.

Honey, it's my fault.

I thought that you didn't

want to see me anymore.

Well, that you were embarrassed.

Honey, nothing could

make me ever feel that way.

Then why didn't you call, Mickey?

Well.

Please.

Won't you tell me what's the matter?

Honey, it's something about

my father that you don't know.

He doesn't want us to see

each other anymore, hmm?

No, it's nothing like that.

Look, let's forget it.

We're back together again

and that's all that counts.

I think we have a few

things to talk about.

Patty, I got a lot of things on my mind.

Oh, I have too and I

wanna talk about them.

Let me eat in peace, huh?

Oh Chet, I never see you anymore,

except when you come home to eat.

Couldn't we at least talk now?

See you at the shack.

Oh, okay.

I'll see ya.

Thanks, Pat.

Listen, Chet.

I've been thinking.

I'd like to see you go back to school.

No, listen.

I'm a girl, I don't need to go.

I could get a job and

you could quit yours.

Things are just fine the way they are.

No, they're not, Chet.

There are some things

that you don't seem to

understand about Duke.

He wasn't like what you think.

He's dead!

Can't you leave him alone?

Oh Chet, you've turned him

into some sort of crusading hero.

He wasn't like that.

He kept us out of an

orphanage, he raised us.

He didn't have to do that.

Don't you think I know that?

But I also know how he did it.

What's the difference?

He's my brother and what

he did, he did for us.

Duke was a hoodlum.

He beat people, he robbed them.

And he finally even killed a man.

You eat his food, you live in this house

and you spend his money.

He's just like you,

what did you expect...

You're a hypocrite, a lousy hypocrite!

I gotta get outta here.

If anybody else had said the

things you said, I'd kill 'em!

Chet, Chet, please stop it!

Whatever you're gonna

do, please stop, for me.

All right then, not for me, for Duke.

From here on in,

everything I do is for Duke!

Try and understand.

If you can, just leave me alone!

I understand too well, Chet.

Grow up before it's too late.

Hello?

- Hi honey, this is Mickey.

- Oh, Mickey.

- Pat, I wanna talk to you.

- Could you come over?

Let's take a ride or somethin'.
