Sweet Sixteen

All right!

Let's up the ante a little more.

- How you doing Billy? - I've been well!

- Hey brother! - Little brother!

All right you two now, come on now,

don't break up the place.

- What you want? - Needs the keys to the truck.

Oh you need the keys to the truck?

- Yeah. - For what?

To give Hank a ride home.

- To give Hank a ride home? - Yeah!

Well how the hell am I supposed to get home?

I'll be back in an hour!

Hey Billy, look.

Owee!

What the shit is that?

Earl, ain't you got some health regulation

about serving animals in the bar?

I don't want any trouble in here Greyfeather.

Of course I just want a drink.

Hey old man.

You're not welcome here, now you get your ass outta here.

Billy, I don't think he can hear you with

that hat he has on.

Yeah.

Let's loosen up his little cap here.

Pick up the hat.

Well if it ain't Pancho Junior.

You pick up the hat.

- Pick it up. - Fuck you, you pick it up.

Come on bitch.

- Hey! - Get off me you red nigger!

Oh yeah I want a piece of you.

Come on!

I'll cut your fucking eyes out you motherfucker!

Easy you sons of a bitches!

- Shoot that son of a bitch. - I said break it up!

I don't want this place broke up again, I mean it Billy!

Jason, take me home.

Come Jason.

I'll see you down the road pal.

Hey hold on a second.

Boy am I glad I ran into you.

I just broke my shoe, Christ I thought I'd never

get to civilization.

Why don't you dump the old man, and you and I

can go to a party someplace.

You know this isn't the best part of town

for a little girl so why don't you just go home.

Come on go home, get outta here, go on, go home.

Let me go, what the hell are you doing?

Just go home, get outta here.

Jason!

I bet a lot of people around here would like to know

you're into little girls, little white girls!

Go home.

Either of you guys got a match?

I don't smoke.

Hank, don't do nothing bad.

But I think I could help you out.

So why don't you do nothing wrong Hank?

It's not that I don't do anything wrong.

Come on Hank, don't be shy.

His old man's the Sheriff around here.

Oh Jesus Christ!

Guess I should've broken it to her a little easier.

It's no big deal, I'm not gonna say anything

about that, I smoke every now and then.

So uh?

I didn't get your name.

I don't think I gave it out.

Come on Hank, I don't need this shit.

Nice meeting you.

Hey wait a minute where are you going?

We don't need your act lady, we got things to do.

You guys are upset with girls or just yourselves?

Maybe you'd like to go for a ride.

Maybe I would.

Name's Johnny, this is my truck.

I'm Melissa.

So? so?

So let's go!

I'll be back in an hour.

How the hell am I supposed to get home?

I'll be back in an hour!

Come on Johnny, my dad thinks I'm coming home.

Hey come on you guys!

You got a cigarette?

No I don't got a cigarette, come on back down here.

In a minute!

Just take it easy.

Where the hell are we anyway?

What do you care, want a beer?

It's really weird out here.

You like dead Indians?

What are you talking about?

This is the old Indian burial grounds.

Oh shit, get me outta here.

We're just starting to have some fun.

I wanna get outta here.

All right all right, Jesus Christ!

You know you're weird lady.

Open the door, open the door, goddammit!

Open the door, open it, goddammit!

My old man's an archeologist, he's here on some kind of a dig.

We're renting this place for a couple of months.

Well you picked the best place in the county.

My old lady knew somebody I guess,

she used to be from around here.

Oh shit!

- Now what? - My dad's home!

So? so.

So he freaks if I come home stoned.

So who's stoned?

Look, you gotta tell him we were at the library or something.

Okay.

But they don't have a library in this town.

Dad, what are you doing out here?

I just got home, where have you been?

Out.

I asked you a question young lady.

I was out okay?

When I ask you a question-

Hey wait a minute, everybody be cool here.

We went for a ride and had a couple of beers.

Thanks a lot Johnny.

What's the big deal?

My daughter is 15 years old.

I'll be 16 next week.

- Melissa, get in the house. - Hey mister, take it easy.

And you get outta here.

Hey I'll leave when I'm ready old man.

Daddy no, I'm going. See ya later Johnny.

Yeah, I guess that's the party, later.

If I see you around my daughter again.

I'll have you put in jail.

Can't hear a thing you're saying old man,

gotta get this truck tuned, catch ya later.

Nice going Billy, could've at least left me some gas.

Shit.

Damn, like to see his ass outside here.

Out of gas...

Coming out here...

with an ax.

Wrong.

Come on.

Morning Dad.

Out a little late last night huh?

I knew it, the gardener did it.

With the rake?

Would you put that book away?

It's not supposed to be a rake, how do you kill

somebody with a rake?

Well am I gonna have to interrogate you

or are you gonna tell me where you were?

Had to walk home.

I thought that Johnny was supposed to give you a ride home?

Yeah, so did I.

He met somebody and took off.

- Hmm. - I'll get it.

- Well you should've called. - Dad, it's Billy Franklin.

Thank you honey.

I told you we can't afford a car right now

so you're just gonna have to wait and hang in till we can.

Okay?

- Yeah. - Okay.

You walked all the way home last night.

- I am gonna kill Johnny. - Hi Billy.

- So he dumped you huh? - Yeah.

He didn't dump me, he met someone, and they went for a ride.

Who was it?

Dianne Martin, I'll bet you anything it was Dianne Martin.

- It wasn't Dianne Martin. - But it was a girl!

So what's the big deal, it was a girl.

- I knew it. - All right.

Look we gotta jump, Johnny Franklin didn't make it

home last night, and Billy's screaming about his truck

so I figured we'd take a look at the back road

on the way into town.

Missing person, big deal.

Why can't anything exciting ever happen around here.

Yeah like a mad gardener stalking his victims with a rake?

It's better than nothing.

Hey hey you two hard of hearing here,

come on let's go, let's jump!

He didn't say where he was going with his girl did he?

No he didn't Dad, although I'm sure they went up to

the reservation. - Hey you two!

You know you're not supposed to go up there,

that's sacred Indian ground and plus it's private property.

Dad everybody goes up there.

I personally have never been up there though.

Isn't that his truck?

Yeah that's it.

Hmm.

No sign of foul play.

Doesn't look like an accident.

- Marci. - Sir?

Do you mind if I do the investigating?

Not at all, I'll just be up the road if you need me.
