Old Enough

Lonnie?

Lonnie, come on.

Isn't she going to be late for camp?

She always makes the bus.

I watch her from upstairs, sometimes.

Lonnie!

Here I am.

My first meeting's at 9:00.

It's already 8:30.

I don't have to be down until 10:00.

Or maybe it's 9:30.

Is gymnastics at 2:00 or 3:00?

I think he said 9:00.

2:00. Linda's mother's taking you.

Lonnie, you better hurry up.

-You're gonna miss your bus. -No, I won't.

Are we staying home tonight?

Uh, yeah, I'm not through until 7:00.

Yeah, me neither. Nor 7:30, maybe.

We're doing back walkovers.

Dinner at 7:30, then?

We better make it 8:00.

Oh, I can't keep Katherine that late.

Leave dinner in the oven.

Or maybe back handsprings.

But then we can't have fish, it'll dry out.

Well, then, don't have fish.

Maybe handsprings are next week.

But she already bought the fish.

Snapper.

What takes you so long every morning?

What do you do up there?

Get dressed.

Ah, you wear the same thing every day.

Camp's over in a week, isn't it?

What are you gonna do then,

when you can wear anything you want?

We'll never get to see you.

I'll wear the same thing all my life.

So we have to have the fish.

Well, then, have the fish.

I hope handsprings are this week.

Well, it'll dry out.

Then, don't have the fish.

Don't have the fish.

All right. We'll have the fish.

I hate fish.

You better do your hair and go.

It's done.

Lonnie, take off that scarf,

and put on the bandeau, the way I like it.

I'm wearing it this way today.

Lonnie, would you do it and stop fussing?

It looks cute with the bandeau.

I don't wanna look cute.

Don't talk back to your mother.

That's cute.

Hey, you're playing or what?

Pervert!

Come on.

Jump!

Johnny, move it, man.

What are you, scared?

What's the matter? You scared, chicken-lips?

Shut up.

- Shut up. - Shut up, will you?

Shut up, will you?

Come on, you jump.

You fall on your face?

Come on.

Hey, come on, sucker, that ain't bad.

What's the matter with you?

Johnny, you should back off.

Just jump.

Come on.

Jump!

-Your sister's -- -What'd you say?

Your sister's...

You wouldn't know what to do with it.

I'll see you suckers later.

- Come on, Johnny. - Johnny, come on.

Come on, don't go.

Hey, Red Raider.

Oh, come on, Johnny.

Johnny, come on.

- Johnny. - Johnny.

Forget you, man.

-Come on, give me the ball. -Hey, where are you going?

I'm going with Johnny.

What about the game?

Forget about the game, we got better things to do.

Ma! I forgot my keys!

Look who's here.

Hey, Johnny, your sister's looking hot.

Yeah, if you like baby fat.

Hey, Karen, where did you get the war paint?

Shut up.

Well, I think you look good.

You look real good.

Hey, Karen, I think you got a piece of dirt on your face.

It's a beauty mark.

Hey, Karen, we're just kidding.

Hey, Red Raider.

My name's Lonnie.

You live here?

Yeah.

Which floor do you live on?

All of them.

All of them?

Your father is the super?

What?

You got all four floors to yourself?

Yeah.

It's our house.

You got a big family?

Four people.

That's it?

Yeah.

So can I come in or what?

Why?

I don't know.

She's coming over for a while.

Who's she?

Katherine.

She takes care of us.

Come on.

Come on.

Do you wanna play something?

Huh?

I've got some games.

Like what?

Life, Risk.

No, that takes too long.

Monopoly? Stratego?

Candy Land?

That's stupid.

Scavenger Hunt? Domain?

Holy shit!

Oh, Christ.

It ain't funny!

Sorry.

So, which do you wanna play?

I'm not in the mood.

Where'd you get this?

It was a present.

Real?

I guess.

You can tell if it's fake,

if the probe part comes off when you scratch it.

Hey!

I guess it's the real thing.

I bet it cost a lot.

I'm going.

She dresses funny.

Yeah.

I like it.

Come on.

What?

I wanna teach you something.

I can't. I got to get on.

Do what you want.

Sounds boring to me.

Wait a second.

I don't feel good. I'm going home.

It's okay. My mom will call.

Wait a second.

Hang up.

This is a cinch.

They'll know.

They'll figure it out.

Trust me. Shh.

Uh...

Yeah, hold on a sec.

Say, "I'm concerned about her health."

-It's what she always says. -Huh?

-Just say it. -Uh...

I'm concerned about her health.

Lonnie, Lonnie, yeah.

This is Missus, Missus...

- Sloan. - Sloan.

Yeah.

She's sick or something.

I'm sure she'll be all right.

Yeah.

Yeah. Listen, don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it.

Jesus, they already got you dead and buried.

-So? -So, no problem.

Okay, you ready?

For what?

Well, if you wanna hang around with me,

I got to teach you stuff.

-Okay? -Okay.

Just don't look anyone in the face

or you're cooked,

and that includes me.

Got it?

Yeah.

So, go.

And get good stuff.
