The Wizard Page #3

Let's see him beat that.

Come on, Jimmy.

What is he, some kind

of freak or somethin'?

That's it.

Hey!

Two tickets to St. George.

You conned me.

I didn't. I won the bet.

Give me that money.

Great! Great.

Now I'm stuck here.

Hey. Hey.

Hmm?

Where the hell are we?

Oh! What is that,

doughnuts?

Yeah. So?

It's disgusting.

From the guy who steals my

pickup and stays up drinkin',

the guy with the foul mouth,

that's a compliment.

Where are we?

Oh!

We were supposed

to be headin' west.

That's the direction

the cupcake truck went.

We're headin' west.

Wait a second. We're not headin' west.

We're headin' south.

What the hell

have you been doing?

I've been drivin'

the whole damn night.

I must have stopped 50 times and asked

about where those kids are. Come on.

We're on the other side of the

canyons, man. Turn around.

Gimme that thing.

Pop! Pop!

Huh?

Get over!

What are you doing?

Have you lost your mind?

Look at him. He's making the jump,

it's his second time through,

and he hasn't even

taken a hit yet.

He's a wizard.

So he can play Ninja Gaiden?

So what?

So I got an idea.

If he can beat me, why can't

he beat any old video head?

We could pick up

some loose change.

Are you kidding me?

That's warped.

The kid's a natural. A genius. A pro.

He picks it up like lint.

Why do you want to

haul him off to California?

California.

I got it.

You want to go to California,

and you want to prove that Jimmy

doesn't belong in a home.

Do you think they'd put him

in a home after he'd won this?

A video game contest?

- Haley, he's...

- He's what?

Too crazy?

Too stupid?

He's sure not the genius you are, trying

to get to California on 27 bucks.

You don't believe

in him yourself.

What does this matter to you anyway?

It's a business deal.

If I can get you to California

and he wins, we split the money.

Do you think I'd hang around

a pair like you for my health?

Hey, sweetheart,

I'm lookin' for some kids.

Pop, I'm starving! We'll

get 'em in the next town.

Whoo!

Hey! Now I warned you!

This is my living!

Didn't I tell you

this was my living, huh?

Son of a b*tch.

Oh, Jesus!

All right. All right,

there's no cause to get crazy.

It's very hot.

This is a professional matter.

Yeah!

Huh?

I don't appreciate this, Woods! You

got no class! No class at all!

So, uh, now that we're here, you want

to go grab a bite to eat or what?

We gotta plan a strategy.

Lucky for you I know this highway like the

back of my hands. My dad's a trucker.

Yeah?

Yeah. He makes a weekly run

between Reno and Kansas City.

That's where I live, Reno. You gotta

be very adult to live in Reno.

It's the world's

biggest little city.
