Gleaming the Cube (1989) Edit

A boy died.

A screw up, I mean?

About $80 an hour? we're all here to subsidise you, man.

About what really happened in vietnam, you know.

After you. come on.

Agh! don't listen to the numbers, the common herd.

Ah! hey!

Alcohol, 500 gallons.

All of this.

All right, forget it.

All right, it's my turn.

All right, look, I'm gonna step outside and I'm gonna come back in.

All right, you owe me one.

All right!

All right.

All vietnamese or does he work with some americans?

Americans can come to your store but they can?t come to your home?

Americans, they're all crazy.

And bid that he be made a companion of your saints,

And even if he would, brian,

And he arranges the shipping for my father?s relief programme.

And I'm not gonna be there to help him next time.

And it?s more complicated than that.

And that makes it a whole different ball game.

And then he comes here and he gets killed, just the way I said it.

And then this bobby nguyen guy starts following me around.

And what if the world doesn't blow up? then where are you gonna be?

And you can keep this.

And you've stopped?

Antibiotics, 200lb. bandages, 800lb.

Any way I try and explain it, it's gonna come out all wrong.

Anyway, that... that's all in the past.

Are you giving me advice?

Aren't you supposed to read us our rights or something, huh?

As long as he's keeping it between him and us, you know what has to be done.

Asshole?

Automobile club.

Being blown up in a nuclear war or having a 7 eleven on every corner.

Besides, it's always seemed kind of weird.

Bobb y: a plane ticket is easy. l want the money.

Bobby nguyen called bolsa video.

Bobby nguyen saw this. that's why he started following me.

Bobby nguyen, your bobby nguyen, arrived in bangkok last night.

Bolsa video is owned by colonel trac.

Bolsa video. may I help you?

Brian, come in or go home, but don't crush my dracaena marginatas.

Brian, everybody knows that you're blaming yourself for vinh's...

Brian, if we want to get to an eight o'clock movie...

Brian, this is my father and this is my mother.

Brian, we found a killer pool, man.

Brian, you gleam the cube.

Brian?

Brlan: a board? lmagine that.

Brlan: a little tighter.

Brlan: hi.

Brlan: hm. I'll just talk to you when we go down.

Brlan: this is stupid, man. vlnh: come on. It?s your birthday.

Brlan: vinh, we gotta talk.

Brlan's father: brian, detective lucero?s here. wake up.

Busybody.

But how did that make you feel?

But I cannot have you spending time

But I don't know. after what's happened, how could I go back to school again?

But I want you to know that your friends,

But is everything all right at home?

But know what a farm vet does?

But you know what I mean. maybe I am as bad as they say.

But, sir, there's a half a million dollars involved.

By the rules. but you don't like rules, do you?

By the way, brian, I always forget which one of you guys is adopted.

Bye.

Can I sue them? can I sue his family? l wanna know. I can sue their fathers?

Causing you trouble.

Check it out. there's my mom's house, my dad's house.

Christ.

Colonel: so how long have you been an expert in medical supplies?

Come on, man. look, it's been 1 1 years, all right? you're not my problem.

Come on, man. we don't need a lecture.

Come on, man. what happened?

Come on, man. you have to tell me.

Come on, now. let?s have a three way catch.

Come on, what is this? l haven't done anything.

Come on! come on! come on! get over!

Come on.

Come on. move it! faster! faster!

Coming through!

Cos you weren't like this yesterday.

Could you tell me who found him?

Cover me, ok?

Cut in front of this car. come on!

Daddy, a police car just pulled up outside.

Daddy, what's going on?

Daddy.

Damn you!

Damn!

Damn.

Detective lucero, mr kelly.

Didn't they know I was coming over?

Do you ever think about the future?

Do you have any idea what we were going through? where were you?

Don't die! help me!

Don't give me a jerk off hand job!

Don't mind mr pr. look, did you notice anything unusual about the way he acted?

Don't smear the blood around. take your shoes off. I don't want scuff marks.

Don't step out there. y ou'll walk... not there.

Don't worry, kelly. the colonel loves you.

Don't worry. It's an intangible.

Don't you lie to me. who did you tell?

Don't you like vietnamese food?

Down. get down.

Drlver: ls the kid ok? tlna: brian? brian?

Drugs?

Empty pool, two o'clock. cross street?

Empty pool, two o'clock. cross street?

Everything's falling apart.

Excuse me. could you translate some of this for me? I don't read vietnamese.

Expect me to stick my head out and ask everybody to turn around?

Father, mother, you remember brian kelly.

Father: all right! oh ho! brlan: I hate frisbees.

Fellas, this is detective oliver. let's all get to know each other.

Finishing, I mean.

Flreman #2: roll it up, sandy! ok!

Flreman #2: yeah, look at that. flreman #3: thank god.

Flreman: hose that right there. all right, you guys. come on.

Flreman: let?s get some ladders here!

For what? I told you last time it was the last time.

Get down there! now you stay put!

Get in there. get down on the floor.

Get to work.

Get up there. see that road? turn right.

Give me a b.

Given him too many.

Go out and talk to them. go on.

Go round the car. go around it. go!

Go round these cars. go round 'em.

Go!

God, you're soaked!

Goddamn it.

Goddamn kids.

Good night. thanks.

Good ones come along once in a while.

Got something about phone numbers?

Gotcha.

Gremic! y o, gremic!

Ha! he's on a bicycle!

He burned it down.

He does that all by himself? that's amazing.

He has plenty of help.

He killed himself. how would I know more than you?

He told you the truth. what have you got him there for?

He's a kid, for christ's sake.

He's a kid? and he did it alone? christ.

He's dead.

He's in some kind of trouble and I'm really scared.

Here we go, vinh.

Here we go.

Here you go.

Here, let me. this is...

Here.

Here's what I think.

Hey, buddy!

Hey, cop! police!

Hey, I was a screw up too. believe me, I know the symptoms.

Hey, jerk! get outta here!

Hey, pick it up!

Hey, vinhski. why the long face, pal?

Hey, y abbo.

Hey, you gotta make some adjustments.

Hey! don't try anything. now, come on, come on.

Hey! let's go, everybody! we gotta go to cantella and harbour.

Hey! lucero! all right!

Hey! what are you doing out there? hey!

Hey.

Hi, dad.

Hi, honey.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hm?

Hm?

Hold it! where are you going?

Hold on. hold on. what?

Housekeeping.

Housekeeping.

How could I face everyone?

How's work?

Huh?

Huh. what do I know? ls there any sign of drugs?

I know. I'll go double check the last few shipments.

I'd have done anything. anything.

I'd like to talk to your son for a minute if I could, please.

I'd shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards.

I'll give this back to you later.

I'll see that they put your picture on a six pack of bud.

I'll see you guys. bye bye.

I'll take it.

I'm being an asshole.

I'm different? have you checked yourself out in the mirror this morning?

I'm in trouble.

I'm not giving up on you.

I'm on it.

I'm requesting assistance.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. nguyen. look, let's start from the beginning.

I'm sure that on your planet there must be someone for you to be friends with.

I'm telling you, it happened right here. I'm not lying!

I'm waiting. ls there anything else?

In the form of the vietnamese anti communist relief fund.

In which we humbly ask of your mercy, that you will give your servant vinh,

Is gonna continue for ever.

Is gonna have an effect on where you'll be in 30 years.

Is your brother didn't register at the motel the night he died.

Jeez! I'll get out and check the next lane.

Jesus christ.

Jesus christ.

Jesus christ.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Jesus. nice place.

Just dry off there.

Just forget it. you just wouldn't understand.

Just hurry.

Just let me get my jacket.

Just like vinh?s death.

Kelly, come over here.

L bought it, but I couldn't follow the instructions, so you put it together.

L can't believe a son of mine is so graceful.

L could never catch up.

L didn't get no message. what message? my machine must be broken, all right?

L don't have time to jerk around.

L don't know how else to say it.

L don't know what happened. l've done this before. I never killed anyone.

L don't know what's worse, you know?

L don't know, but if I get it, shoot me.

L don't know.

L don't know.

L don't know.

L don't know. do you think I failed vinh?

L don't know. he was just following me. maybe he was a pervert.

L don't know. like I said, I think it was 1 2 o'clock, maybe a little after,

L don't know. maybe I don't wanna be different.

L don't think you should go to bangkok. we're in this together.

L don't wanna hurt you but if you come up again, goddamn it, I will.

L don't, uh...

L figured you'd think he was mixed up in drugs or something.

L gotta have the whole pool refinished again,

L guess I could always just run away, you know?

L guess I'd say, ''catch you later.'' so what shall we talk about, then?

L guess that was always the thing.

L guess we all do unexpected things sometimes, don't we?

L have 30 sam missiles, 1 ,000 m1 6s and half a million rounds...of ammunition.

L have something here you could try.

L hope you're right about that, colonel.

L know his father. I'll handle it.

L know how much this means to you and your family,

L know I got those figures right.

L know. he must have sent everything to the cleaner's.

L mean, I hate doing my own homework.

L mean, it's ridiculous to think there's gonna be anything in 30 years, you know?

L mean...

L miss you, vinh.

L rented a room to this chinese kid.

L said get in the car.

L shouldn't be doing this. why am I doing this?

L take it back. you're a sloppy asshole.

L think it would help me understand what happened to my brother.

L think it's time to let it go.

L think we should.

L told you, no more. didn't you get the message?

L used to wanna be a veterinarian,

L want nothing to compromise the movement.

L wanted to find out where vinh...

L was difficult before you adopted him, dad.

L was supposed to go to my uncle's house.

L was the one guy in the universe that listened when you talked.

L wouldn't blame you, but you don't wanna see your picture on a milk carton.

L wouldn't worry if you'd buy some new safety pads

L?ll get you to bangkok but that?s it. you can forget about the $50,000.

Lawndale: up on the kerb, the diamond lane. go on, get up there!

Lawndale.

Lawndale.: let me buy you a coffee.

Least of all from someone l've gone out on a limb for.

Let me get you a towel.

Let us pray. o lord, hear our prayer,

Let's catch the son of a bitch!

Let's go over it again. you get taken here.

Let's go! let's go!

Let's go.

Let's just go inside, please. thank you.

Lf I had a dog with a face like yours,

Lf I had your mouth, l could close a deal every day.

Lf the colonel doesn't mind, there's a million questions I'd like to ask him.

Like, uh...

Listen, I'm hungry. anybody wanna help me with dinner?

Look, as soon as I know something for sure, l?ll let you know, ok?

Look, everyone knows you're the hero around here.

Look, happy birthday. come on. come on. brian.

Look, he made a call from the payphone at the arco station on cantella.

Look, I'm gonna be honest with you.

Look, man...

Look, no one knows anything except a kid on a skateboard.

Look, um... don't go back until I'm outta here.

Look, um...we're his family. we have a right to know.

Look, you can't be scared of chao tom. lt's just shrimp over sugar cane.

Lost and found is in the main office.

Lt contained 50 rifles and 20,000...

Lt was a suicide. that's what the coroner found.

Lt was all over.

Lt was an accident.

Lt was in defence of my country. this is different.

Lt wasn't about guns, daddy? lt wasn't about mr lawndale?

Lt's a list of medical supplies and quantities.

Lt's all right.

Lt's awful hard to think about actuarial tables or fire indemnity

Lt's been raining. huh.

Lt's funny, huh?

Lt's just a way I can express myself.

Lt's just an unfortunate misunderstanding.

Lt's kind of hard to explain.

Lt's no good. there's a foot of water down the deep end.

Lt's nothing to joke about.

Lt's something I can do by myself. there's nobody there to judge me.

Lucero: book ?em, harv.

Lucero: hold on. brlan: jeez.

Lucero: how are things at home? different.

Lucero: oh, come on.

Lucero.

Man: It?s open.

Maybe I found him. what do you care?

Maybe I need an experienced person to finish the job, ok?

Maybe I should have brought him to your place?

Maybe I'm not the one who screwed up.

Maybe.

Most of the items seem too heavy.

Mother: brian! come on, honey. open some of your presents.

Mother: brian! come on, honey. open some of your presents.

Mother: hi. hi.

Mother: we're home.

Move! outta the way!

Mr nguyen? robert nguyen?

Must have been a pretty terrific guy.

My brother was not the type of kid

My brother was working for colonel trac.

My brother.

My daughter knows as well. are you going to kill her too?

My father told me to go.

My father won't let me see american boys, even as friends.

My friend wants to meet you. he doesn't believe your name is kelly.

My friendship with an american boy is the least of my troubles.

My mother wants to stay here.

My parents always made a federal case about it.

My parents just pulled in. y ou'd better go out the back door.

Never mind.

Next thing you know, he'll be riding a scooter.

Nice to meet you.

Nick. take a look at this.

Nine tenths of the people don't grasp it, so I guess you're safe for now.

No problem.

No, don't...

No, ed. I'm out.

No, man. who can eat a pizza at six in the morning? It's time to scramble.

No, no, no, no, no. black ones. these.

No, nothing immediate.

No, you don't know. great.

No, you're above the rules, right? well, let me give you a piece of news.

No!

Nonsense. I'm sure this is just a clerical error.

Not any more, we don't.

Nothing was taken. It might have been a doper.

Now all we have to do is find the american, the guy who shot nguyen.

Now it seems everybody else has given up on you except me...a screw up.

Now there's nobody.

Now you do me one big favour and you get outta here. I'm working.

Now, I can't pin that fire on you right now, but I know you set it

Now, listen to me. l don't like bullshit, not from anybody, ok?

Now, now, now. we have to talk about this.

Now, who did you tell about those containers?

Now! go!

Oh, bullshit. I tie him up and I bring him here.

Oh, come on. give him a break.

Oh, man.

Oh, man. when did you start smoking?

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my...

Oh, no fresh vegetables. It takes three weeks for the boat to reach vietnam.

Oh, no!

Oh, shit! look at that!

Oh, yeah?

Oh! look at you.

Ok, get in the car.

Ok, good.

Ok, ok. fine.

Ok.

Ok.

Ok. talk to me.

Ok. then I need a new deck, all right?

On a farm, you know, horses and cows.

On shipments that have been paid for and dispatched with no complaints.

Once, when you were six.

One minute I thought I was doing something right and the next minute...

Or one of those helmets l see the boys wearing.

Owner.

Pool owner: I'm getting a pit bull. ok.

Prlest: may he rest in peace. amen.

Put your mind at rest. I'll handle this.

Quick! dial 91 1 !

Quick. quick.

Remember that aircraft carrier model?

Right here.

Right up here. pull in here.

Right?

Right. you jumped in the back seat of a pervert's car? you playing hard to get?

Rip!

Say hello to the family, please.

See you later.

See you.

Shit. lnto the police car. come on. come on. come on. ln!

Shut the door.

So how are you?

So I just gave up. I stopped trying.

So I went to the motel for myself, you know, just to check it out.

So I'm gonna tell you what I know.

So they expect you to behave as though what you do today

So why are you in that costume?

So you're saying you're not one any more?

So, I mean, I just wanted to find out a little more about it.

So, of course, I had to be a jerk.

So, what do you have against orange county?

So, what do you want?

So, what else does your father do besides send medicine?

So, why were they following you?

So...

Someday, perhaps, but you have your movie.

Someone broke in last night and opened a crate.

Sometimes they're even riding a skateboard.

Son of a bitch!

Sorry, sir. l got stuck on a calculus problem.

Sorry. hi. I gotta ask you a question.

Sorry. y ou're... you're just trying to help.

Southbound on harbour boulevard, approaching cantella.

Street wheels, lapper, noseguard, rails.

Tell engine company 1 3 that they can go on back.

Tell what?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks, guys. you've given us everything we need.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That really pissed me off.

That really sounds just like me, you know?

That shit'll give you cancer, man.

That we are here today to celebrate relief

That's an oversimplification.

The cube, brian. the place that you skate when you let go.

The freeway exit right over here. pull off!

The lawyers are getting angry, but I told them they were still in processing.

The most important thing is that you're all right.

The movement? colonel, I'm worried about me.

The only reason I'm even a teeny bit interested

The people he called must have been the people he met here.

The pool's empty and the house burned down last week.

The press is here and for their benefit l?d like to remind them

The skateboard stays in the garage.

Then I'll explain everything to him. he will understand.

Then the guy gets out of the car, talks to a couple of other guys.

Then we'll both go back together.

There ain't shit here.

There's something wrong with the shipping weight of the last container.

These are the most expensive.

They don't know what to think of me.

They said I had to eat it just to be nice to vinh,

They say you called them fucking faggot slant eyed gooks.

They talk to me now instead of about me.

They'll just have to wait a little longer, that's all.

This is against the law.

Through christ, our lord, amen.

Tlna: he owns westpac medical supply.

To be like you? you think maybe if I had your haircut I could sell more policies?

Trac and nguyen. that's two out of three.

Trac or lawndale?

Try.

Tv: give me an a.

Uh oh.

Uh, what's... what's this?

Uh...

Uh...excuse me. can you read me some of this?

Uh...no. wrong number.

Um...

Very nice. very nice.

Very well. I'll talk to him. he's an honest boy. he's no threat.

Vinh kelly's death was an accident. you have to believe one thing about me.

Vlnh: come on. father: come on, brian. brighten up.

Vlnh: police?

Wait a minute. look at this.

Wait.

Wait. you found out something, right? right?

Wake up, all right? y abbo.

Wake up.

We always said vinh was special because we chose him.

We are just sending medical supplies.

We chose him.

We don't have anything in common.

We gave it a shot, but that's the way it's gonna go down in the books.

We get a few of those. but it might not have been.

We have vinhy.

We killed bobby nguyen. he started out a good boy and you got to him.

We killed vinh, and he only meant well.

We'll take care of you. all right?

We're in this together, right? we share a common bond, remember?

Well, I shouldn't tell you this, but I love to watch you skating.

Well, I'm not.

Well, it?s not optional.

Well, let's just say l think somebody may be ripping us off.

Well, look at you, man. you're a screw up.

Well, then, what about the motel registration, the other guy?

Well, uh...

Well, you know what they say. It's a dirty job.

Well...for the way that he died.

Well...how about skateboarding?

Westpac medical supply is the distributor and they have been handling all the shipping.

What about american food? you don't think a chilli dog's weird?

What are you doing this far from the farm?

What are you gonna do?

What do you say we start over, huh?

What do you think?

What do you think? what are you doing here, huh?

What figures?

What fire?

What other guy?

What the heck is going on here?

What the hell do you think you're doing here? huh?

What the hell's going on, lucero?

What the hell's going on, lucero?

What was I supposed to do, let him shoot me?

What?

What? what?

What? you got a b plus in calculus?

What'd you say? say that again. say it.

What's gotten into him, man?

What's that say?

What's that?

What's that? give me that goddamn thing.

Whatever l've done, l've done for our vietnamese nation.

When I can't get vinh off my mind.

When I say different, I mean different.

Where were you? where did you go?

Where... where's the bathroom?

Which one of you knows the family?

Who?

Who'd go into a motel and hang himself.

Who's been asking about us?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, big guy. hey.

Whom you have commanded to leave this world,

Whoo!

Whoo!

Why did you risk that?

Why didn't you show it to me before?

Why? what's happening?

Will you be quiet? I am trying to concentrate.

Would you like to come in and have some tea?

Would you look at yourself?

Y abbo: l don't mean to be, like, nosy or nothing,

Y abbo: mom.

Y abbo: shit.

Y abbo. come on, now. wake up.

Y es, I suppose we do.

Y es.

Y ou, you little shit. you just watch your goddamn mouth.

Y ou?d brighten up a room just by leaving it.

Y ou... you took me to disneyland.

Y our brother was working for the relief fund, right?

Y our right door is ajar.

Y our um...

Yeah, and are you listening or answering back?

Yeah, but it was a good move.

Yeah, but it was a good move.

Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Yeah, my hair.

Yeah, ok. I'll make the call.

Yeah, please. that's what most drivers are called, right?

Yeah, right. excuse me.

Yeah, sam. rip it up.

Yeah, that's really funny, y abbo. you're hysterical, man.

Yeah, yeah. can you translate some of this for me?

Yeah! let it rip!

Yeah! whoa!

Yeah? they're living under this illusion that life as we know it

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. about... about history.

Yeah. and they threw me out of the park for pissing on donald duck.

Yeah. I get it.

Yeah. I used to wanna live in the country.

Yeah. see here? they're drug supplies.

You all right, man?

You can bet your ass he wouldn't.

You can fix this, right?

You can't blame yourself.

You did ok. lf you put some effort into it, you might even pass without me.

You don't go around setting fires. l don't care what your problem is.

You don't think he's gonna tell someone?

You don't trust adults at all, do you?

You don't worry about that, ok? l got that covered.

You got it.

You got your team, I got mine.

You know?

You mean, what do I wanna be when I grow up?

You moved everything out, so no one can find anything. we're safe.

You moved.

You on a farm?

You ought to be.

You promised me. no more war.

You said no more war.

You see that intersection? go through the intersection. go through it.

You started something and I don't know how to finish it.

You think I just kiss up to mom and dad and pay the rent with good behaviour.

You think you're pretty smart. you think I'm an asshole.

You were a soldier. you've done your share of killing.

You were always good at that.

You were always one step ahead.

You're in the back seat of the car of the guy who was following you.

You're in trouble. we have a homeowners' association up here.

You're in worse shape than I thought.

You're late, vinh. very unusual.

You're really pissing me off. don't waste people's time.

You're right. I'd never give myself a lift, either.

You're still mad because they adopted me, huh?

You're the one who's not listening! they killed my brother!

You've been working here for two weeks now, and you're doing a good job.

40 foot kidney, 1 0 feet deep.

50 rifles and 20,000 rounds of ammunition.

500lb for a crate of cotton balls?

(speaks vietnamese) (colonel speaks vietnamese)

(speaks vietnamese) english, goddamn it. speak english.

(speaks vietnamese) maybe drugs.

(speaks vietnamese) no vietnamese, goddamn it.

a refinishing job like this costs $2200. what do you want me to do?

adults are predictable. don't count on it.

all right, call the guys, right? all right. I'm on it.
