Eddie? Eddie?

Excuse me, sir. Do you have change for a five?

Sure.

Yo' yo, yo, yo. Come on. Come on. Mick. Mick.

It's a little late for you to be out alone, isn't it?

Well, I'm, uh, not alone.

You're here.

That's right.

But I wouldn't be if my car wasn't in the shop. You know how it is.

Let's go inside and have a drink.

I'll call a cab.

It's in my pocket... Left-hand pocket.

Frankie.

She's pretty, isn't she? Lech.

- Be bop a Lula She's my baby. - Yo, Nick!

Be bop a Lula Thanks.

Rain from heaven.

You sprayed it in my eyes!

Nick, you all right, man? I can't see!

Nick' I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

Asshole. Jesus Christ.

I'm blind. Sorry, man.

- You're a real samurai, you know. - Get out of here!

Did you get the money? Mickey, shut up for once.

Well, of course I'm worried, Brian.

You know what your brother did with his last term.

And what I hear about the new school'

it's only gonna positively reinforce all of his old bad habits.

And this neighborhood isn't any help either.

Because it just gives him an excuse to fail.

What? That's terrific.

No, no, no, don't bring anything. Just yourself.

- Yeah. - Tell me all about...

Oooh.

How was the night? Not bad.

Hey, there you are. First day at a new school. You ready for it?

Aren't I always? I guess.

You'd better get going. It's getting late. Sleep well, Dad.

Okay.

I stood there I waited.

For those high school days.

Little bit.

I feel this whole world's on fire and I don't wanna get real burned.

But I'm not gonna stand in line no more

I'm gonna step out.

Oh, God' I swear I would just love to find that guy from last night.

I would just take that... Watch your mouth, scumbag, will ya?

Hey, you watch your mouth.

Hey, lust puppy.

Lust puppy?

Hey.

Hey!

Hey, you. Get over here.

There's no bike riding on campus.

I was just hoping I could take a quick ride through history.

- You can pick it up after school. Park it in the rack. - Yes, sir.

Frankie, come on, all right. I'll be there.

Walk it over!

Ever shoot anybody with that thing?

All right, no drinking on campus.

Nick, think we ought to do it?

Hey, just chill. Chill, man.

I think we're going to school.

Frankie.

Miss Wright. Morning, Howard.

My mother said it was okay for me to stay out of biology class today...

on account of my sinus condition.

All those chemicals kind of makes me sick.

Then have your mother take the class.

We have to have someone sitting in your chair. But...

You'll be late for class, Howard. Aw, man!

Hey, babe. Mmm, mama. What's up?

Not much. How you doing? Good.

What's his story?

Who cares? His ass is grass now.

Let me have your blade.

You'll never use it. Come on. Maybe I wanna clean my teeth.

Let me have it.

- Be careful. - Hiller.

Hiller.

Hiller! Come into my office.

Later.

You mind taking those off?

I like to see who I'm talking to.

Shakespeare, huh? Yeah.

Actually, I don't know why I'm surprised.

Your records show a good aptitude for reading and writing.

Going to do anything with it?

Excuse me?

I don't know.

Look, Morgan,

you've had a good education in one of the best prep schools in this country.

And if you chose to throw it away, well,

luckily that's no concern of mine at this point.

What is my concern is your present attitude,

which is my way of saying that I won't tolerate any of your past bullshit.

Including your rooftop...

rock concerts in-between the classes.

You see, I have a lot of trouble dealing with the real losers here at Lawson.

I don't want to waste a lot of energy with a good imitation.

Yes, sir.

Good. All right.

You'd better hustle out of here before you miss your first class.

And so the original pioneers settled the territory...

building towns on the lands they claimed.

But there were men who lived outside the law.

Men who took away the things the settlers had worked so hard to build.

The settlers themselves were no match for these outlaws,

and so a new breed was born.

Known as the "gunfighters," they brought a new code...

of honor and justice to the Old west.

A code written in their blood and of the blood of the outlaws they faced.

Bat Masterson. Wyatt Earp.

- Whoa. State of the art. - Class, that's enough.

Ed' will you please watch the film and pay attention?

Sorry, man. I never had it out of my pocket before.

Yeah? Well, why don't you learn how to use it before you cut your balls off?

No settler could remain in those days without taking sides.

Problems, Jimmy?

No, uh... No problems.

Can't get the damn thing closed.

Looking back, one is struck by the fact that even though...

specific crimes are frequently forgotten,

the romantic pageantry remains.

- Here. You're gonna need it. - Why?

Take it. It's all over the school about you and Nick Hauser.

Heads up, Jimmy. Heads up.

Something important, Mr. Parker?

Yeah. I was telling Morgan about this book I read.

- Which one? - Call of the Wild.

And, um, what was your reaction to this once-in-a-lifetime experience?

I didn't get it.

But I liked the dog.

History books are filled with stories about lands...

bought and paid for with the blood of the men and women who claimed them.

When someone took a stand, they very often paid with their life,

whether outlaw or gunfighter.

The cost was always high.

And many lives were given by those who shaped our beloved country...

during this turbulent and historic era.

Pow!

What's up' man? You like music?

Yeah, I like music. Yeah?

Wanna come see my band tonight? Sure. Where?

Go down here, down this main drag, past all the sleazy porno shops.

Okay. It's on the left-hand side. You can't miss it.

Porno shops? I'll be there. Good.

All right, let's get this thing rolling! Come on, man.

Yo, Nick! Be bop a Lula.

Whoa! He just missed 'em, man.

This must be recess, right? Great.

Yo, Morgan. Yo! Wait up.

Listen, man. You're heading towards trouble. That's Nick Hauser.

They're playing with my bike. I'm just trying to save your life.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Nice hood ornament you got there.

Hey, don't mess with them. They'll break your legs.

There he is. There he is. Right there.

Hi there. Hi.

God, a real man wouldn't jump out of the way.

Whoa. Yeah.

It's John Wayne.

Guy's got a damn death wish.

Eddie, there he goes, man.

Watch out. He's gonna kiss you.

This is a very nice bike. Very nice. We like it.

We're just taking it for a test run. You don't mind? Wanna make sure it works.

Rain from heaven, maricon.

Hey. Look at this guy.

I think he's got the measles or something.

Come on! Show us!

So, what do you think? Should we let him have it?

What? I said, should we let him have it?

You want your bike back?

Huh? Hey, bebop. Yo!

You want your bike back?

What do you think? Should I give him his bike back here?

Make him pay!

Should I give him his bike back? I said, should I give him his bike back?

Give it back to him, Nick. Keep it.

There it is.

Come on.

Good.

You look beautiful like that. Red really looks great on you.

Oh, shit.

It was a nice bike!

Hey, you guys... you guys are bad. This was a nice bike.

Used to be.

Damn.

Hey' I'm sorry, man.

I guess training was over.

Hey, he said he was sorry.

Life's a bitch' pal.

Party's over.

Shit.

Hi, honey. How was the first day?

Okay.

What happened to your bike? Nothing.
