The Kid Brother

Kenny.

Kenny!

Did you come to take me home?

- What are you doing? Don't you know the time?

- Don't sweat it, man. I was just about to leave.

Wait one second.

Hurry up.

Well, wait!

You're slow, man.

I'm sick and tired of always looking after you.

I'm not your babysitter! - What are you talking about?

- You know what I'm talking about. I always have to go

and pick you up. - I never asked you

to come and get me. - Oh, yeah?

- Let me off the bike! Just let me off the bike!

- Cut the crap, man. Mum told me to come and pick you up.

Thank you.

- What took so long? - Had to look for him all over the place.

- Where was he? - Down by the pipes.

- Kenny? - Yeah, I know.

Even if I'm going to be 13, I've still gotta stick around the house.

- Well, if you're that big, you should know what time dinner is.

Now hurry up.

Go change your diaper and wash them filthy hands.

Alright.

Oh, yeah, I don't have school tomorrow, so I'm going to go out.

- : Oh, yeah? Well, we'll think about that.

What?

- I said, we'll see about that later.

- What, you think just 'cause I'm big,

I'm not afraid of things?

Take your sister, for instance.

Look how small she is.

But she still scares me sometimes.

Doesn't she scare you?

- : Yeah, but I hate this feeling.

Kenny...

Being afraid is nothing to be ashamed of.

Everybody's afraid sometime in their life,

and if they tell you different, they're lying to you.

Fear makes you cautious, so you don't get hurt.

It can be good, sometimes.

The biggest thing I fear

is failure.

That's what makes me train so hard.

Wait a minute.

I think I better cut this bull and go take a shower.

You sure you're not going to be afraid walking home all by yourself, now?

I'm not a chicken like you.

Go away, you little dickhead!

- You know you didn't kiss me yet?

That's no kiss! Now...

Stop it! Stop it! Cut it out!

: Stop it!

I know you're not sleeping.

- Quit that! Stop! GET OFF OF ME!

- Little punk! Huh? Punk! - Quit it!

- Little punk! I'm sick of you!

Go cry to Mummy now, right? - Quit it! Quit it!

- Cry to Mummy now? Huh? Right? - OW!

- Can you tell me what's going on in here?

Can I have the answer, please?

- Him, bugging me and Cathy. He's just jealous, that's all.

- It isn't true! I don't care about

you and Cathy's big tits! OW!

Hey!

You want your dad in here?

Go to sleep.

- It isn't true! I'm not jealous!

Not even jealous.

Do I have to?

- Kenny, quit your mouthing before I give you a smack!

- What's wrong? - Nothin'.

- Thought you'd decided to wear the legs?

- I know. I changed my mind. I don't want to talk about it.

Well, you told me that, uh,

you agreed with the school that it would be better for you.

- I know. - That's what you told me.

- I just... I just don't want to talk about it right now.

- Besides, if you wear the legs, uh,

if she gives you any problems,

you just, uh, kick her in the pants.

You just try.

Alright?

- Yeah... - Come on, we'll be late.

Drive careful.

- Hi, they're in here? - : Dr. Greenberg,

Dr. Greenberg wanted at the ER, stat.

- Hi, I'm sorry I'm late. Hi, Kenny! How you doing?

- Alright. - That's good.

- Come on, Kenny, cheer up!

You haven't smiled once since you came in here.

Now, I don't mind making little jokes for my guests,

but you got to show me some teeth.

At least let me know you're listening?

How about a little snicker?

I thought you had a sense of humor in there.

- He's upset. He thought when we put

the other legs away he'd never have to wear them again.

You promised.

- Those nice new legs of yours will make you look

just like all the rest of the kids at junior high.

- I don't want to look like them. I want to be my own, normal self.

- Well, you got a point there. I think I know what you mean.

Something almost like that happened to me one time.

Some people thought that I should wear a toupee

so that I'd look like everybody else.

Let me tell ya, I didn't feel anything but silly.

I threw the thing away after three very long days.

- See, Mom? At least somebody agrees with me.

- Now, let's just say that I understand

how you feel. But we have to be realistic here

and face the facts that even though you feel and are normal,

that's not how you appear to most people,

especially when they first meet you.

- They'll get used to me when they get to know me.

You're absolutely right,

but I think that we should trust your new principal's judgment here.

Now, he probably knows what's best for you at his school.

- My parents already told me that.

There, you see?

Now, cheer up! Think about how lucky you are

to have these two lovely women rubbing their hands

all over your body. - Hmm!

Is love disposable

Is it conceivable

Is love disposable

Maybe mechanical

Is love disposable

Hi! Better hurry,

Mom's downstairs talking to Pam.

You got all kind of lipstick all over your face.

What the hell?

- It's for me, tell them I'll call them back later.

- Hello? - : Hello? Hello? Yes...

Hello?

- Louis-Philippe Lagrange de Coubertin, French television.

- Yes? - From Paris. Mr. Easterday?

Mr. or Mrs. Easterday please.

- Yes. - Can I speak to one of them?

- Pardon? - Can I speak to Mr. or Mrs. Easterday, please?

- Yes, hold on. - OK.

Mom, Mom, wake up!

- What? - There's some French guy

on the telephone and he wants to talk to you.

- What French guy? - All he did

was start to talk about TV.

Mm. Shit...

Dad, dad! Come on, wake up!

Come on! - Go to sleep...

- Aw, come on! - Go to sleep!

Mm-hmm...

- What is he talking about? What does he want?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I know,

but I don't know how much more anybody could say about us.

I mean, we had the Japanese, then we had the Germans,

then we had the English... - I understand, but, you know,

you must realize that the French people

have not seen what the Japanese, the German

and the English have done.

- Mom, did they say Sharon Kay's going to be in the movie?

- Mm-hmm. They've seen the other TV shows

and they thought she was real good as the loving big sister.

They like that kind of stuff.

- So that means she's going to come and live with us

like the last time? - I don't know about that.

But I'm sure she wouldn't want to miss being in the show --

all she thinks about is being a movie star.

- I wouldn't mind being a movie star myself.

You can't be no movie star.

Why?

Too skinny.

Hey!

Anyway, you don't got to worry about being no movie star,

because they ain't here yet.

I didn't tell them yes. - Oh, Mom! It's going to be

lots of fun. - Huh!

- "Mrs. Easterday, what was your reaction

when you first saw him? Did you love him right away?"

- Cut it out! - Oop! You mean you don't love him anymore?

Hi.

Son of a bitch, he did it again!

You got any coffee?

Where are the girls?

He just left with both of 'em.

- You done eating? - Yeah.

- Why don't you go get dressed? - OK.

Kenny, why don't you go

take Tommy out for a little walk.

- Do I have to? - Move it!

- Want to go play? - Yeah.

Tommy, stop it! Don't do that!

Leave the dogs alone!
