Stand by Me (1986) Edit

A 12 pointer.

A bazillion fish. And it looks good on you, too. Just like that.

A blast.

A complete and total barf o rama.

A fat lady barfed in her purse.

A Jew's good.

A KLAM newsbreak.

A little past 5:00 on Sunday morning, the day before Labor Day.

A long time ago,

A loony up in the nuthouse at Togus.

A penny.

A personal record for both of them.

A week later, his mom cleaned out his room and threw away the map.

About this time, Charlie and Billy were playing mailbox baseball

Ace, come on, man.

Ace, I gotta tell you something, but you gotta swear on your mother's good name

Ain't you Denny Lachance's brother?

All right. Are you ready?

All the kids, instead of calling him Davie, they call him Lardass. Lardass Hogan.

Am I weird?

And 68 cents from Chris.

And all your fathers are gonna get a call from me.

And although it was hard, he gutted it out like he always did.

And barfed on Principal Wiggins.

And before Bill Travis knew it

And do you think that that bitch would have dared tried something like that

And He said, "This is what we got for you, kid. Try not to lose it."

And he shoots his father?

And his dog, Chopper.

And I couldn't give a shit about my own dad

And if a cop asks what we're doing there,

And if your parents are too fucked up to do it, then maybe I should.

And is now the forklift operator at the Arsenault Lumber Yard.

And it was on the tip of my tongue to tell them about the deer, but I didn't.

And just followed them the whole way.

And Lardass just sat back and enjoyed what he'd created.

And maybe I took it to old lady Simons and told her, and the money was all there.

And maybe the next week, old lady Simons

And now, the one you've all been waiting for.

And our celebrity contestant from KLAM in Portland,

And rat guts in blueberry sauce.

And right before he was introduced, he'd gotten ready for it.

And that was for eating bleach under the sink.

And the Women's Auxiliary barfed all over the Benevolent Order of Antelopes.

And then after dark, a train must have come along and...el smacko.

And then take you to the cops.

And then your mother goes around the corner and she licks it up.

And they came up with a goocher just before they got into the car.

And they rank him out and beat him up whenever they get a chance.

And we take the body.

And while you guys are dragging your candy asses

And who gives a shit if they ever find him? I don't.

And, bang! They all got totaled.

Any of you guys know when the next train is due?

Anyway, she saw her chance and she took it.

Are there any on mine, man?

Are we gonna take him?

Are you okay?

As time went on we saw less and less of Teddy and Vern

At school they put this sticker on his back that says, "Wide Load."

At the beginning of the school year he had buried a quart jar of pennies

At the time, I didn't know why I needed to see that body so badly.

Because everybody's gonna be so jazzed about what we found

Because he was a kid our age.

Before I start collecting my goddamned Social Security, okay?

Bet you $2,000 they don't.

Big fucking deal.

Billy and Charlie had managed to keep their enormous secret for about 36 hours.

Billy told me they were flipping for beers

Billy, you're up.

Bossman Bob Cormier took one look at Bill Travis

Boy, are you fat.

Boy, could he throw.

Boy, you don't know nothing.

Brocker or Brower or Flowers, whatever his name is.

But did you ever notice that they never get anywhere?

But going to see a dead kid, maybe it shouldn't be a party.

But I still got a three day vacation, because it never showed up.

But if we do find that kid's body over in South Harlow,

But it's that kid they were talking about on the radio.

But my parents still hadn't been able to put the pieces back together again.

But neither our gang nor their gang got the credit.

But not one of your horror stories, okay?

But one day he gets an idea.

But only if you measure in terms of years.

But right now neither the dread Chopper nor Milo

But there's one thing I didn't understand.

But to sic specific parts of the human anatomy.

But we came all this way?

But what I heard was, "Chopper, sic balls."

But what's this? Chambers is making his move.

But when the smell hit the crowd

But you didn't miss him.

But you flinched.

But you flinched.

But, with me...

By next June we'll all be split up.

By noon, Ace and Eyeball had told their secret to everybody in the gang.

Can you guys camp out tonight?

Can you hear me?

Cherry flavored Pez. No question about it.

Chopper, sic him! Sic him, boy!

Chopper'll be here.

Chris Chambers never misses, does he?

Chris Chambers was the leader of our gang and my best friend.

Chris did get out.

Chris isn't a thief.

Chris, give me a hand.

Chris, who'd always made the best peace, tried to break it up.

Come back here, you hear me?

Come on, Choppie. Kiss my ass, Choppie. Choppie. Kiss my ass.

Come on, Chris, let's split.

Come on, just forget them.

Come on, kid, just give me the gun before you take your foot off.

Come on, Lachance, give me the gun.

Come on, Lardass!

Come on, man, deal.

Come on, men. Let's take on the...

Come on, Teddy, man. Get off the tracks. You're crazy.

Come on, Vern, we don't have all day.

Come on, Verno.

Come on, what is it?

Come on, you guys, let's get moving.

Come on, you guys, open up.

Come on. You guys, listen to me, 'cause this is boss.

Coming through the woods, I bet we saved over an hour.

Could be some scouts at the game tomorrow.

Could he have gotten all the way from Chamberlain to Harlow? That's really far.

Dad, can we go now?

Dad, they're okay.

Denny was the one he cared about, and don't try to tell me different.

Did Lardass have to pay to get into the contest?

Did you know that?

Did you take it?

Did your mother ever have any kids that lived?

Didn't I just say I was French?

Diving into his fifth pie, Lardass began to imagine that he wasn't eating pies.

Do you play football?

Do you think I'm weird?

Do you think that anyone would have believed it?

Do you think that pile of shit was at Normandy?

Does the word "retarded" mean anything to you?

Don't call me any of your mother's pet names.

Don't even think about winning this.

Don't move, Ace.

Don't say that.

Don't say that.

Don't say that. Don't even think that.

Don't start with me, porcupine. Come here, give me a hug.

Don't tell me what to do or I'll kill you.

Don't you call me that!

Done!

Done!

Done!

Done!

Done.

Done.

Drum roll.

Durham and the outlying areas.

Even his little brother and sister call him Lardass.

Even if no one had followed me, I would have gone on alone.

Even if she goes to hell 'cause you lied?

Everyone knew I took it. Even Vern knew it, I think.

Everything was there and around us.

Exactly what you said.

Except for the loony up in Togus.

Except in the dream I always miss him.

Except my dad's kind of on a mean streak. He's been drinking a lot lately.

Faster!

Faster! Run! Go!

Father God and Sonny Jesus.

Finding new and preferably disgusting ways to degrade a friend's mother

Flip or eat lead.

For me, the idea of seeing that kid's dead body

For your seven cents.

Forget it, all right?

Forget it, all right? Just forget it!

Forget it, Vern.

Foul ball.

Four months had passed,

Four tails.

Friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant.

From KLAM in Portland?

From KLAM in Portland?

From the racks and stacks, it's the best on wax.

From up on the View, if they had taken the money?

Fuck writing! I don't want to be a writer.

Gentlemen, the Royal.

Geronimo!

Get him! Get Vern!

Get in the fucking car. Now!

Get off me!

Get off!

Get the hell off the tracks, Teddy. You want to get yourself killed?

Get them off!

Get up, Vern! Damn it!

Get up! Move it!

Girlfriends barfed on boyfriends.

Girls, cool it. We'll flip for it.

Give it to me! Come on, man, that's mine!

Give me some skin.

Give me the gun. I'll take the first watch.

Go ahead, keep laughing.

Go back to sleep.

Go on, Choppie. Sic balls, Choppie.

Go on, Gordie.

Go screw.

Go.

Go.

God, I never met anybody who fainted before.

God, that's weird.

God, the tracks go way out of the way.

Good, Vern.

Good.

Goofy's a dog. He's definitely a dog.

Gordie did it! Gordie Lachance is shooting up Castle Rock!

Gordie loses.

Gordie wrote a story.

Gordie, are you there?

Gordie, go get the provisions, you morphadite.

Gordie, I got something for you.

Gordie, I got something for you.

Gordie, I really liked it.

Gordie, man, are you okay?

Gordie?

Gordie?

Gordie?

Gordie's out, Ole' Gordie just bit the bag and stepped out the door.

Got wiped out on Weed Hill in Durham?

Great things from in the future, young master David Hogan.

Great, Chambers, now you're turning pussy, too!

Great, spit at the fat kid. Real good.

Ha, ha. Very funny.

Had this brand new skirt on when she came to school.

Half way across the state and back, I'll be waiting for you on the other side

Hands behind your backs, gentlemen.

He came from a bad family and everyone just knew he'd turn out bad.

He can't be a dog. He wears a hat and drives a car.

He didn't have much of a chance in life.

He died almost instantly.

He doesn't hate you.

He doesn't know you.

He don't know nothing about your old man. He's just dog shit.

He drew a treasure map so he could find them again.

He had a leech hanging from his balls. He fainted.

He hates me.

He hates me. My dad hates me.

He hates me. Oh, God.

He just doesn't know you.

He pretended he was eating cow flops

He ranked my old man.

He ranked my old man.

He said that a half hour ago.

He shouldn't be thinking about girls. This is the biggest game of his life.

He still stormed the beach at Normandy, right?

He stole the milk money at school.

He took your ear and he put it to a stove and he burned it off.

He wants you to go over there so he can beat the piss out of you

He was covered with five pies worth of used blueberries.

He weighs close to 180, but, you know, it's not his fault. It's his glands.

He went on to college and eventually became a lawyer.

He's got Chambers beat.

He's not dead. He's still breathing, you idiot.

He's not gonna care. 'Cause it's gonna be us guys that find him.

Hell, there isn't. You just jump.

Here you go, kid. $1 .50 of hamburger.

Here.

Hey, Ace, me and...

Hey, at least now we know when the next train was due.

Hey, Chris?

Hey, Chris.

Hey, come on, man. My brother gave me that!

Hey, from the racks and stacks it's the best on wax.

Hey, from the racks and stacks it's the best on wax.

Hey, girls, where you going?

Hey, Gordie...

Hey, Gordo, why don't you tell us a story?

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, how do you know a Frenchman's been in your backyard?

Hey, I got some Winstons.

Hey, I was right, Charlie, they ain't never gonna find him.

Hey, I'll race you.

Hey, I'm kind of hungry. Who's got the food?

Hey, it's a long ways.

Hey, Lardass. Chow down, Wide Load.

Hey, listen, Ace. Maybe me and Charlie shouldn't go.

Hey, Moe, I'm going blind.

Hey, Teddy, sit down.

Hey, Vern, looks like your ma's been out driving again.

Hey, Vern, you'd better turn yours over.

Hey, Verno, where's the radio? Let's see if we can get some sounds.

Hey, where do you think you're going, Lachance?

Hey, who did that? Who's letting cherry bombs off out here?

Hey, you guys been watching The Mickey Mouse Club lately?

Hey, you guys, it's a lot safer if we...

Hey, you know, it's not that deep. We can walk across.

Hey, you, kid! What are you doing there? Come over here!

Hey. Hey, you guys,

His dad was given to fits of rage.

His ghost is out walking in the woods.

Hmm?

Hocked them off my old man's dresser.

Hold on, you guys. Hold on. What is it, man?

Hold still, will you?

How about you?

How are we supposed to get across this?

How can that be the end? What kind of an ending is that? What happened to Lardass?

How far do you think it's gonna be?

I bet you $1,000 they find him before that.

I bet you anything that if we find him, we'll get our pictures in the paper.

I brought a comb.

I brought it for you guys, when we get there.

I can see that.

I can't help it.

I could have dodged it.

I could tell you something about him, but you gotta swear

I didn't cry at Denny's funeral.

I didn't know it was loaded.

I don't know about any "hyboid" gland, but what a blimp!

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. Billy will know I found out.

I don't like this. Sincerely.

I don't need no babysitter.

I don't see your problem.

I don't shut up, I grow up. And when I look at you, I throw up.

I don't want to hear no horror stories. I'm not up for that, man.

I forget the secret knock. Let me in.

I guess for those guys, protecting their mother's good name wasn't a top priority.

I guess I'd have to be pretty hard up, huh?

I guess I'm just a pussy, huh?

I haven't found my pennies yet.

I heard that Vern got married out of high school, had four kids

I just get a couple of his hairs and down he goes.

I just got a three day vacation.

I just never thought,

I just want to see it! I just want to see what he looks like.

I just wish

I just wish we never boosted that goddamned Dodge.

I knew The $64,000 Question was fixed.

I knock.

I know he didn't mean to insult me.

I know how your dad feels about you. He doesn't give a shit about you.

I know the Back Harlow Road.

I know who you are. You're Teddy Duchamp.

I know you didn't mean to insult my friend.

I know your name.

I know. Two for flinching.

I like the ending. The barfing was really good.

I lost a brother in Korea.

I mean, if you tell your folks we're gonna tent out in my back field?

I mean, what happened?

I mean, you could be a real writer someday, Gordie.

I miss him, Chris.

I promise I won't hock no more dirty books.

I promise I won't say no more bad swears. I promise I'll eat all my lima beans.

I ran all the way home

I really miss him.

I saw the other day, he was carrying five elephants in one hand.

I say we go across the field.

I still don't think we should go.

I suppose this is fun for you.

I think Annette's tits are getting bigger.

I think Chris is right. Let's go back.

I think she's a lovely girl.

I think we can get some stuff there.

I think we should stick to the tracks.

I think we should tell the cops.

I told you we should have stuck to the tracks.

I took all that was left in the box.

I wanted to share my friends' enthusiasm, but I couldn't.

I was 12 going on 13 the first time I saw a dead human being.

I was just trying to save your life, man.

I was living in a small town in Oregon called Castle Rock.

I was the stupid one for even trying to give it back.

I wasn't that scared.

I wish Ace had been with us. We could've told the cops we was in his car.

I wish the hell I was your dad.

I won.

I wondered how Teddy could care so much for his dad who'd practically killed him

I'll kill you. I swear to God.

I'll see ya.

I'll tell you how they're gonna find him.

I'm crossing here.

I'm French, okay.

I'm gonna be in trouble now. That Tupper babe saw me.

I'm gonna dodge it.

I'm gonna go look for it. I want to see the ghost.

I'm gonna rip your head off and shit down your neck.

I'm in the prime of my youth, and I'll only be young once.

I'm never gonna get out of this town, am I, Gordie?

I'm no good. My dad said it. I'm no good.

I'm not going alone. We should all go.

I'm not going back.

I'm not going in with a lot of pussies, forget it.

I'm not sure it should be a good time.

I'm sorry if I'm spoiling everybody's good time.

I'm sure she had her eye on that skirt for a long time.

I've been noticing lately that the A and the E are starting to bend around the sides.

I've never spoken or written of it until just now.

If either one of you assholes had $2,000, I'd kill you both.

If I could only have one food for the rest of my life?

If it'd been one of those douche bags

If we cut across this field right here, we'll be there in an hour.

If we follow the tracks all the way into Harlow, it'll be about 20 miles.

If we were gonna make some real miles before dark.

In April, my older brother, Dennis, had been killed in a jeep accident.

In the end, we decided that an anonymous phone call was the best thing to do.

In the knowledge that Corporal Teddy Duchamp

Including Chris.

Is it me, or are you the world's biggest pussy?

Is this the Back Harlow Road?

It ain't nothing to us. The kid's dead so it ain't nothing to him, neither.

It comes to a dead end by the Royal River. The train tracks are right there.

It happened in the summer of 1959,

It happens sometimes.

It looks like Lachance has got him this time.

It should have been you, Gordon.

It was almost noon as we set out to find the body of a dead kid named Ray Brower.

It was grand.

It was only 2:45, but it felt much later.

It was too hot and too much had happened.

It's 1:15.

It's 90 KLAM degrees and getting hotter.

It's a .45.

It's a leech. Leeches!

It's about this pie eating contest.

It's asshole if your friends drag you down.

It's baby stuff. Now come on, flip again.

It's best we just keep our mouth shut, and then they can't touch us.

It's boss.

It's in Denny's room.

It's like God gave you something, man, all those stories that you can make up,

It's not coyotes. It's his ghost.

It's nothing. Nothing. It's nothing, right?

It's okay, man. It's okay.

It's spooky sleeping out at night in the woods. You might see a bear.

It's that Brower kid.

It's the Bossman Bob Cormier here. It's a beautiful Friday morning in Portland.

It's the Chordettes, with Lollipop.

It's the way the people think of my family in this town.

It's the way they think of me. I'm just one of those low life Chambers kids.

It's weird.

It's...

Jeez, Gordie, how come you didn't get some breakfast stuff like

Jeez, that ending sucks.

Jesus Christ, Billy. We gotta do something.

Jesus Christ, man, if they would have known you

Jesus H. bald headed Christ!

Jesus.

Junior high.

Just cool it, you guys. He just fainted.

Just like it had knocked the life out of his body.

Just suppose that I told this story.

Just to say I'm sorry

Kids barfed on their parents.

Lachance is fading and it's Chambers at the tape.

Last I'd heard he'd spent some time in jail

Legend had it that Milo had trained Chopper not just to sic,

Let me catch my breath. I ran all the way from my house.

Let's get out of here! Come on!

Let's play ball.

Let's see, how much money have we got?

Like a log truck coming at you at 100 miles an hour.

Like Charlie Hogan's brother, if he had one.

Like if he's really bad, like all cut up and blood and shit all over him,

Listen I got $1 0 riding on you myself, Billy Boy.

Listen, Teddy, you can dodge it on the way back, man.

Look over there! I see him!

Look, we could make an anonymous call.

Look, you guys can go around if you want to.

Loony, loony, loony.

Make your draw, shitheap.

Making ashtrays and birdhouses.

Man, that was the all time train dodge. Too cool.

Man, that's a plan and a half.

Maybe he made a bad mistake and looked at your face.

Maybe he went home and celebrated with a couple of cheeseburgers.

Maybe he's dead.

Maybe I was sorry, and I tried to give it back.

Maybe it's coyotes.

Maybe we should stand guard.

Maybe we should take Gordie back.

Maybe you could go into the college courses with me.

Maybe you will and maybe you won't.

Maybe, just maybe.

Mayor Grundy barfed on his wife's tits!

Me and my dad used to fish for Cossies out there.

Me, Chris Chambers, kid brother to Eyeball Chambers.

Mickey's a mouse. Donald's a duck. Pluto's a dog.

Might hear the dread cry, "Chopper, sic balls!"

Mighty Mouse is a cartoon.

Mom, do you know where my canteen is?

Mom?

Move it, man! Go on! Move it!

Move it!

My dad will hide me anyway, but hell, it's worth a hiding.

My dad'll think that he used them himself shooting at beer cans while he was drunk.

Next, a newcomer to the Pie Eat, but one we expect

Nine months, man.

No hard feelings, okay?

No one even asked me if I took the milk money that time.

No one gets out of a sleeper hold.

No problem.

No shit. She looks like a Thanksgiving turkey.

No sign of the enemy. The fort is secure.

No way, Ace! Not this time, man. No way!

No way, man.

No way, man.

No, Ace, just you.

No, but this is.

No, I'm gonna kill him!

No, let's go again.

No, man, a goocher. That's really bad.

No, really, I wasn't. Sincerely.

No, Vern, there is something on your neck.

No, Vern, they just let him in.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Nobody will care

Nobody, never. You dig me?

None of us could breathe.

Not Billy and Charlie Hogan, and the boosted car.

Not even when the ladies leave the seat down.

Not if I see you first.

Not me. Gordie?

Not this way, Teddy.

Not where they're looking.

Nothing like a smoke after a meal.

Nothing.

Now I feel a whole lot better about this.

Now they know we don't got no car.

Now you see I'm talking to the boy, don't you?

Now, he said, "Sic him, boy."

Now, I'm gonna state mine.

Now, see, that's what I'm talking about. Football takes concentration.

Now, the next contestant in the Great Tri County Pie Eat

Odd man goes.

Oh, Chris.

Oh, gee thanks, Dad.

Oh, great, great story.

Oh, great, you brought the comb.

Oh, it is.

Oh, Jesus, man, that's a goocher.

Oh, man, wait till you hear this.

Oh, man, you guys are not gonna believe this. This is so boss.

Oh, man, you should have seen your face. Damn, that was cool!

Oh, man! Oh, no, man!

Oh, my God, I got him.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, shit, Chris.

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit! Did anybody bring anything?

Oh, that's it, Chambers. You just signed your own death warrant.

Oh, we will.

Oh, we will. Don't you worry.

Oh, who gives a fuck anyway?

Oh, yeah, my cousin's like that. Sincerely.

Okay, Chambers, you little faggot. This is your last chance.

Okay, forget it. I don't have to tell you nothing.

Okay, great, you won't believe this, sincerely.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Okay, then you won't mind if we check the seat of

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Old Gordie just screwed the pooch.

On your mother's good name

One apiece for after supper.

One of them pulled a knife.

Or a garbage can.

Or fudging on our folks

Or going on a hike up the railroad tracks to Harlow. He meant those things, but

Or you stay and we beat the shit out of you.

Paratroopers, over the side!

Peace.

People ever tell you that?

Pinkie swear?

Pinkie swear.

Piss up a rope.

Principal John Wiggins.

Principal John Wiggins.

Quarterback, he played.

Quidacioluo's is at the end of that little road that goes by the junkyard.

Rank out!

Ray Brower's body was found,

Relaxing with my thoughts.

Remember the time you saved him in the tree?

Right here's cool.

Right.

Run, Gordie, run! Run, Gordie!

Run!

Run. Run, man! Move your ass, man!

Screw you guys. Forget it.

See you in junior high.

See you later, girls.

Seven cents, Vern?

Shame what happened to him.

She weighs over 300 pounds. Supposed to be a "hyboid" gland or something.

She's a Catholic, man. They're all like that.

Shit, Gordie, she thought it was firecrackers.

Shit, I'm out. God damn it!

Shit, man! Shit!

Shit, Vern!

Shit, when are they gonna give up?

Shit. This wasn't my idea. It was Vern's idea. Why didn't you bring something?

Shouldn't have gone for a wooden one.

Shut up, Teddy, and keep your eyes peeled.

Shut up, Teddy.

Shut up!

Shut up.

Sic balls.

Sixty cents from Teddy.

Skin it.

Skin it.

Slowly, a sound started to build in Lardass' stomach.

Smaller.

So let's just say that I stole the milk money, but old lady Simons stole it back from me.

So what are you pissing and moaning about, Verno?

So, what's with you and this Connie Palermo chick?

Something good like that.

Sometimes.

Somewhere under those bushes was the rest of Ray Brower.

Son of a bitch! My little brother.

Sorry, Vern.

Sorry, Vern. I guess a more experienced shopper could've gotten more

Sorry.

Sound about right to you, Gordie?

Sounds like a woman screaming.

Stand back, men!

Suck my fat one, you cheap dime store hood.

Superman is a real guy. No way a cartoon could beat up a real guy.

Sure they are. A thief and two feebs.

Sure, you only outweigh him by 500 pounds, fat ass.

Sure.

Sure.

Sure. He must have started walking on the train tracks

Take no prisoners!

Teddy Duchamp was the craziest guy we hung around with.

Teddy knew I took it.

Teddy tried several times to get into the army, but his eyes and his ear kept him out.

Teddy, you and Vern watch the left side of the tracks.

Teddy's crazy.

Thanks, man.

That could take till dark.

That I could go someplace where nobody knows me.

That was the one thing I kept to myself.

That you won't tell anybody.

That'll be the day.

That's Chopper?

That's easy. Pez.

That's not the secret knock.

That's not true.

That's pussy.

That's so funny I forgot to laugh.

That's when a cigarette tastes best, after supper.

That's when Lardass' plan really started to work.

That's why I'm gonna give him the opportunity of taking it back.

That's you, Gordie, odd as a cod.

The "pile of shit" has 1,000 eyes.

The Bible says, "In the midst of life we are in death."

The Bossman himself, Bob Cormier!

The Bossman himself, Bob Cormier!

The Brower kid must be around here someplace.

The crowd goes wild.

The dogfaces rested easy

The Donelley twins barfed on each other.

The four time champion, our own Bill Travis.

The greatest revenge idea a kid ever had.

The kid was dead.

The kid wasn't sick.

The kid wasn't sleeping.

The kid's gone. They're never gonna find him.

The kind of talk that seemed important until you discover girls.

The main guy of the story is this fat kid that nobody likes, named Davie Hogan.

The missing 12 year old Ray Brower.

The most feared and least seen dog in Castle Rock.

The most.

The police have expanded their efforts to include Motton,

The train had knocked Ray Brower out of his Keds,

The train must have hit him.

The women in the audience screamed.

Then down the Back Harlow Road. We'll be there by sundown.

Then he runs away and he joins the Texas Rangers. How about that?

Then if you gentlemen don't mind, I'd like to finish this game

Then we say we're going over to the drag races the next day.

There he is! I see him! Look!

There were only 1,281 people, but to me it was the whole world.

There.

There's no way anybody could know that much about opera.

They just keep wagon training.

They trace those calls, stupid. I seen it on Highway Patrol and on Dragnet.

They won't let me.

They'll know we didn't go to the drag races. We'll get hided.

They'll probably pin a medal on you, Vern.

They're gonna want to know how the hell we got way out on Back Harlow Road.

They're on me!

This is big time, baby.

This is great. What are we supposed to do? Eat our feet?

This is my age.

This is not funny. What am I supposed to eat?

This is really a good time.

This, my friend, is for you.

Three days before, he'd gone out to pick blueberries and nobody had seen him since.

Thus, a kid who had illegally scaled the junkyard fence

Too cool, too cool! Very cool! Very, very cool! Yes!

Train coming.

Train dodge. Dig it?

Train!

Twenty nine.

Twenty two.

Twinkies, and Pez, and root beer?

Two for flinching.

Two for flinching.

Two for flinching. Do you like it? Do you like it? Two for flinching.

Underneath his house.

Until eventually they became just two more faces in the halls.

Up the ladder with another platter, it's Bobby Day with Rockin' Robin.

Vern didn't just mean being off limits inside the junkyard

Vern had been trying to find those pennies for nine months.

Vern, there's something on your neck.

Vern, you little son of a whore.

Vern?

Vern.

Vern.

Vern.

Verno, nobody believes that crap about moons and goochers.

Wagon Train is a really cool show,

Walking, talking Jesus!

Want some more?

Was always held in high regard.

Was anywhere in sight.

Was starting to become an obsession.

Was that Lardass wasn't really interested in winning.

We all understood what Vern meant right away.

We barely spoke.

We better start running, Eyeball. They got dibs.

We could go down to the Route 136 bridge.

We could go out to Route 7 to the Shiloh Church,

We earned him, man. You guys came in a car. That's not fair. He's ours.

We found him. We got dibs.

We go across here, we can get to the same place in 10 minutes.

We go up with a whole bunch of fishing gear,
