The Yellow Handkerchief

Hey, Brett.

All right. Close seven.

Take it easy out there, Brett.

Bye, Brett. Be true to yourself.

Brett, you take care, man.

You take care, Brett.

Take it easy, bro.

Do what I told you.

Don't you come back now.

I don't want to see you

back here again.

- Bye, Brett.

- Bye, Brett.

- Oh!

- Hey!

You waiting in line?

Yeah.

What kind of feather is that?

In your ear.

- It's a feather.

- It's a cockatoo feather.

I'm Native American lndian, so--

Oh.

Can I get you something?

Yeah. Beer, please.

Coors? Heineken?

Anything. Um...

Light.

Will do.

- Thanks.

- Mm-hmm.

Where would that bus take me?

It just goes the next few stops

before it turns around at Hamilton.

- That's south?

- Uh-huh.

You gotta get across the river

if you want to get much further south.

You could take local buses

all the way down if you got the time.

- Thanks.

- Sure.

You always this talkative?

Do you have

any of these throwaway cameras,

but with expired film in them?

You know, maybe in the back

or something?

I don't give anything away.

No, I want them that way.

I prefer them that way.

This what you're talking about?

- Can I have some fries?

Sure.

Fries!

Do you know

where I go to get the ferry?

The river, I guess.

You never taken it?

I never tried.

Oh, so you never wanted

to get to the other side.

I'm sorry, I thought it was funny,

but I guess it's

because I'm Native American,

so I like to see everything I can,

you know, of the land.

- Do I know you?

- No.

What? I can't talk

to anyone around here?

I'm not going to hurt you or anything.

Sure, that's what ax murderers say.

Thanks for the directions.

No problem, baby.

You have a safe trip.

I made a mistake last night,

with you.

I was drunk.

- Okay?

- So we're not going tonight?

Well, hey.

Hey, you want to go with me?

- All right.

- Come on.

I could wait and take you back.

Oh, no, no.

No, no, this was very helpful.

Thank you.

Cool.

Look at it this way,

it can always get worse.

Yeah, well,

I really don't think so.

Give it time.

You'll be all right.

Good luck.

What are you doing?

Well, I'm

just messing with the camera.

It could be really cool,

you never know.

Hey, do something.

- Something?

- Anything. Just...

Now that's great.

Wait. Will you do

something else freaky, or...

- Would you come here?

Just help me?

When I get my balance,

you can step out of the picture.

Okay.

You're--You're a circus animal.

Well, here, get this one.

Are you going across?

Yeah.

Well, you could ride with us.

I mean, it's cheaper in one car.

If you take me right back.

We have ourselves a dreamer,

ladies and gentlemen.

I want to go.

I just don't want

to go with him, alone.

That's gonna hit us.

No, It's cool, man.

It's frickin' Tom Sawyer.

Whoa.

Pull it down.

I'm Brett, by the way.

Oh, I'm Gordon.

Everybody calls me Gordy.

Uh, Martine.

You from here, Gordy?

No, I'm from out west.

Are you from here?

Just passing through.

I'm from boring ol' here my whole life.

Well, I'm following the river.

I thought it'd be cool, you know,

down to New Orleans.

Yeah, but these levee things,

they get in the way, though.

She's there though, believe you me.

I was expecting to see more damage.

That was more

down New Orleans way.

I'll collect from you

on the way out.

We won't be coming back today.

- This is fixing to hurt.

- All right.

Get off of me!

Gordy, in the trunk, do you have

anything--cover of any kind?

I have a tent.

It's a plastic one-man thing.

Can I borrow that?

All right.

Thanks.

- What's he doing?

- He's claustrophobic.

Well, doesn't he even think

about ruining my tent?

Isn't that what it's for?

I've never seen rain like this.

Whoa!

Oh, my God!

Pull into the motel.

One room left only.

One bed.

Fifty dollars in advance, cash.

No credit card.

I got it.

I should get rid

of some of this cash anyway.

Shouldn't be carrying

so much around.

So how much? Fifty?

Fifty.

- You have twenty...

- There's fifty.

Okay.

Room 5.

And where is that?

You can go this way.

Is there a mailbox

near here, ma'am?

Now, that's the sort of thing

an ax murderer does.

He mails a ransom note

in the pouring rain.

I like him.

So why are we seeing tornados?

Well--

If you two don't mind,

when you're through

in the bathroom,

I'd like to sleep in there.

You're gonna sleep?

I was thinking about it, yeah.

Well, I'm done in there.

I couldn't smell sweeter if I tried.

Here at my crib.

Tony Freckles.

Come check it out.

- Look at my chandelier.

- How pathetic is he?

"Look at my chandelier.

Look at my Jacuzzi."

Right? Well, don't drown in it,

Mr. Brain Damage.

Mr. Missing Chromosome.

Have you watched this show?

I like it.

No, you don't.

You don't.

You think you do,

but you do not like this show.

In charge of managing

the cocoa butter.

Come on.

You see this thing?

This is Jazz,

my nutritionist-slash-stylist.

Hi, Dad.

Nothing much.

Just staying out of the storm.

No, with friends.

You don't know them.

There's an adult with us.

Everything's fine.

Yeah, that was exactly

what I was going to do today, Dad.

I was gonna try

and waste as much time as I can.

Why do you have

to make a run to Denver?

Fine.

Yeah. Yeah, okay, fine.

I'll see you Thursday.

Dad?

That is an excellent idea.

You see where I live?

You see what I drive?

Now you're about to see me
