Here on Earth

* Baby's black balloon makes her fly *

* I almost fell into a hole in your life * Need to tuck that shirt in.

Yes, sir.

* And you weren't thinking about tomorrow *

* 'Cause you were the same as me *

* With all your needs *

* A thousand other boys could never reach you *

* How could I have been the one *

* I saw the world spin beneath you *

* And scatter like ice from the spoon *

* There was your home *

* Comin' down the world turned over *

* A dangerous fall without you there *

* I go on as you get colder *

* Or are you someone who's there *

* You know the lies they always told you *

* The only love you never dreamed *

* Was of things they never showed you *

* That swallowed the light from the sun *

* Inside your world * Oh, somebody's lost.

* Yeah *

* I'm comin' down to a world turned over *

* A dangerous fall without you there *

* As I go on I will lead you homeward *

* All because all *

* I'll become *

* You became to me **

Sweet ride. Who scored this?

Probably some spoiled-ass mother-- Shiverson!

Look at that chrome on that thing, man. Very nice.

It's, uh, a very nice gift.

I'm sure you're disappointed.

Why, 'cause my father can't come to graduation?

He's in London, in the middle of a deal that's gonna double our stock price.

I don't need him to jeopardize that for some bullshit graduation ceremony.

Sorry, sir.

The graduation ceremony is not bull.

Certainly not when you're valedictorian.

With all due respect, sir, I didn't spend four years here...

just so I could give a "go get 'em" speech to a bunch of whining children.

Well, you know the rule about cars on campus.

So I'll keep it in the motor pool until after Sunday's ceremony,

and then it's all yours.

So, uh, if that's it--

My sister's boyfriend's got one. It's lickety, bro.

It's like a G-4 in a tail wind.

I can have sex with a car like that.

Just don't burn your wood drill on the tailpipe.

No, I mean I could have sex with a woman if I had a car like that.

Steve, you couldn't have sex with a woman if you gave her a car like that.

So he wouldn't even let you take it out for a quick spin? A little shakedown cruise?

I don't need Shiverson's permission to take my own car out.

Valet key. It was on his desk.

* I've never been here before *

* Didn't know where to go Never met you before *

**

* You can do all the things that you learn to do *

* All around on the ground Pick a part that's new *

* You can do all the things that you like to do *

* All around, upside down **

I swear I'm bein' blackmailed into this. Ha. Not true.

Somebody else better be up there takin' the knife after me.

Just do it already.

Can I ask you a really big favor?

I have a date tonight. It's my graduation night.

I know. I'm sorry. I forgot that I was closing.

I would ask Mom, but she's baby-sitting Patty.

Please, Sam? Finish my shift for me. I promise you I will owe you so big-time.

You already owe me your firstborn.

Oh, well, you can have her. She likes you better anyway.

- Your turn, sucker. - So, do I carve it up?

I have to do my sister a giant favor that she'd never do for me.

Oh, come on. I do you favors.

She hasn't had a date in like a year.

All right.

Look, what are we doin', Kelley?

You guys hungry? What, do you have a death wish?

The Putties hate our guts. Can we just leave?

Let's eat.

What the hell's he doing in?

So, what'll it be?

Uh, what's good here? Besides the help.

Can I take your order?

Yeah.

Do you really make your own ice cream?

With our very own hands.

How does one actually make ice cream?

It's a secret family recipe.

- You won't even tell me? - Not even you.

- I bet I can get it out of you. - Better men have tried.

They don't look like better men to me.

Three vanilla shakes will be fine. Let me get that for you, Kelley.

If you check out my ass when I walk away,

your shake will be in your lap.

Let's just get out of here.

Are you trying to get at me, Richie?

- "Richie"? - Yeah. Richie Rich. That's your name, isn't it?

Let's just get outta here. No, he's right.

You can tell a lot from appearances.

Look at him. I would say that you're poor.

They're not homeless or anything,

just run of the mill poor.

Judging from that lazy grin,

I'd say you're not too bright either.

Kell, let's just go.

- Take it easy! - Violence. The first refuge of the poor and--

Hey, cut it out!

Hey, you want to get yourself hurt, or what? Who's gonna hurt me? Him?

Huh?

Get out! Kell, let's just go, man.

- Later, Richie. - You can count on it.

You're lucky I don't kick you out. He was all over you, and I--

You were just picking a fight while I'm in charge.

I can't even talk to you.

Sam.

Let's just go, Kelley. What are we doin' here, man?

- Hey, I wanna know one thing before I go. - What's that?

What freaks you out more? Gettin' bailed out by your girlfriend...

or knowing that she was adding me to her fantasy file?

What did he say?

I think he just said, "Come kick my ass."

Hell, that was awesome, man.

You should've seen their faces. Should've seen your face, man! You were scared shitless.

Yeah, right, dude. You make me feel better about--

Oh, my God. Holy shit.

Hey, Richie. Come and get it.

Come on, farm boy.

- Yeah! - Push it down. Get 'em!

I should remind you not to go over 50 miles per hour for the first thousand miles.

Shut up, Charlie.

Are there any air bags back here? Shut up, Charlie!

Hi, pussies.

This isn't fun. I'm not having fun.

What are you doing?

That's what I'm talkin' about!

- Punch it! - He's right behind you.

- -

Samantha.

We're gonna have a few questions at the station, so get in the back of the car.

Watch your heads.

You should probably come down to the hospital and get checked out.

Really, I'm fine.

You know who I am, son?

Sheriff Cavanaugh?

My wife is Jo Cavanaugh,

and her mother was Mable.

You almost took my daughter from me tonight.

Roll your eyes at me one more time,

this shit heap you're in is just gonna get deeper.

Sheriff, if this is a threat--

What the hell is goin' on? The nice thing about my job is I don't have to threaten anybody.

Grab them too.

Me? Hey, I was practically kidnapped!

I understand you're from New York, Your Honor.

- Born and bred. - Me too. Upper East Side.

Good for you. But we're not bonding here, so don't get your dress over your head.

Mr. Morse, I presume. Good.

Your Honor, we were thinking that some sort of probation would be appropriate.

Probation, huh? Let's think it through.

They talk to a probation officer once a week for a year or so.

Maybe do a couple hundred hours of volunteer work at a community center.

That what you had in mind?

Something like that, yes. Not gonna happen, but thanks for playin'.

Gentlemen, I don't know what your lawyers told you,

but this is pretty serious stuff.

A probation walk was fine for the other boys, the ones in the cars with you,

but you two were the cowboys behind the wheel.

We're gonna have to do something different with you.

I understand Mr. Arnold has been contracted to rebuild Mable's.

Yes, that's right, Your Honor.

We'd like to make another suggestion, with the court's permission.

- Shoot. - Mr. Morse has graciously offered to pay...

for the restaurant, as long as all charges against his son are dropped.

- That sounds nice, huh? - We thought it appropriate.

Not in my court. In my court, you fix what you broke.

So here it is. I'd be willing to dismiss all charges in this case...

if the boys volunteer for community service...

working with the crew rebuilding Mable's Table.

It's a chance to put back what you took,

and maybe, just maybe,

it'll not only result in the building of a restaurant,

but in the building of character as well.

You can have some time to talk it over with your attorneys.

That's okay, Judge. We'll take the deal.

Your Honor, that's completely impractical for Calvin. Where would he live?

Even if Rallston would take him, the dorms are closed for the summer.

The nearest motel is 30 miles away, Your Honor,

and his driver's license has been revoked.

Actually, we have a room above our garage.

The boy could pay rent.

It works for me. How about you, Counselor?

That's acceptable to us as well, Your Honor.

Another Rallston boy takes a bite out of the Cavanaugh family.

I had nothing to do with this one. I wasn't even here. Exactly.

You-- Nobody's blaming anybody.

It would have been nice if one of you'd called me when the trouble first started.

I remember when Jesse and Alice carved this.

Mom, remember what you said to me so many times?

As long as we're all alive, it's nothing more than a bad day. Right?

Yeah. We can beat a bad day. Right?
