[Laughter]
Jill: I didn’t know shrinks kicked stuff. Jason: You startled me. Jill: Sorry, I just came out for a breath of fresh air. Jason: Yeah, and a smoke. Jill: I’ll leave.
Jason: We’re not talking about smoking anymore, are we? Jill: No. Jason’s voiceover: I felt as if my breath had been knocked out of me. And and with it, all my petty concerns and self-pity. In that instant, all that mattered was this sad-eyed, scruffy girl who was trying to be so tough. Jason: Do I understand you, are you considering…Jill: Forget it.
Jason: Now hold on. Jill: Why, are you gonna say something that’s gonna turn my whole life around? Jason: Well no, but I’m not gonna let you walk away either. Jill: Look, I wasn’t serious, okay? It was a joke. What’s your problem? Jason: Hey, you’re not going anywhere. Jill: Oh yeah? Jason: Just a second, wait a minute. Believe me, if you think you can tell me you’re thinking of killing yourself then just leave here, you’re mistaken.
Jill: She’s…she’s not around. Jason: What about your dad? Jill: Too busy. Jason: You got friends? Jill: [Laughs] I only know a couple a people, and…they’d probably think killing myself was a good idea. Jason: What about teachers? Jill: Oh yeah, which one will it be? Mr. Gardner in Health, or Ms. Ramano in Typing?
10
Jason: Okay, how about…Jill: Look, it’s like I said...there’s nobody. I wish there was. Jason: Okay, you said your dad’s too busy, uh…is he such a bad guy though? Is…Jill: He couldn’t handle it. Jason: Well are you so sure about that, you know sometimes fathers and mothers, they…Jill: My mother killed herself, okay?
[Jill cries]
Jill: It was a week before my twelfth birthday.
Jason: My god.
Jill: I’m fine…so I’m not about to tell my dad about this, after what he’s been through.
Jason: Well that’s a terrible thing for any…
Jill: I used to feel that way.
Jason: Used to?
Jill: Yeah.
Jason: What do you feel now?
Jill: Like I don’t exist…Like I’m just walking around in somebody else’s dream. Any second
that person could just wake up and…
Jason: You’d just disappear, huh? Look, you really shouldn’t
even bother with me, because I mean it’s not like I can afford to pay you or anything, so…
Jason: I don’t remime it…I didn’t ask you for any money. (16:04) Can I please have my keys back?
Jill: God.
[Laughter]
Boner: Mikey, why would you put this on me if you didn’t know how to get it off?
Mike: Boner, it would have been a lot easier if you’d have just shaved your chest.
[Laughter]
Boner: Dr. Seaver. Look at me. Help me.
Mike: Where is Jill? She’s got the saw.
Boner: Saw?
Mike: Dad, have you seen her?
11
Jason: No. Boner: Oh, thank you, thank you! Mike: That’s weird, I mean I haven’t been able to find her anywhere. She’s gotta be out here. Jason: Well she isn’t, Mike. Mike: But dad, she…Jason: Mike, Mike, will you, she’s not out here, okay. Will you just take Boner inside and, and soak him in hot water.
[Laughter]
Mike: Okay, okay…Boner: Thanks Dr. Seaver, you saved my life.
[Laughter]
Jason: Jill…Jill?
[Laughter]
Jason: Yeah. Jill: Like today, we had to go to this “career day”garbage, and Mike takes out one of these booths and puts up a sign “Sex Therapy: The Doctor is In”.
[Laughter]
Jason: That’s my boy.
12
[Laughter]
Jill: So Dewitt sent him to detention for the whole week, and I went up to him and I said, you know, “hey, I’m sorry you got busted”and, and you know what he said: If I helped just one poor girl out there, it was worth it.
[Laughter]
[Jill cries]
Jason: Pretty angry at your mom, aren’t you? Jill: No…Jason: Oh yes, yes it’s very difficult to be angry at someone close to you, someone you love, it, people sometimes do things to, they do things to hurt themselves just because, oh, it’s so tough they just want to avoid admitting that they’re angry.
13
Jill: Oh, you think that I would really rather kill myself, then admit that mom…that my mom hated me. Jason: I didn’t say your mom hated you. Jill: Well why else would she kill herself? Jason: Well maybe she thought her mother hated her. Maybe she had mental problems that had absolutely nothing to do with you. Maybe she was just as confused as you are right now. Jill: That’s the biggest crock I’ve ever heard. Jason’s voiceover: She didn’t immediately embrace my theory, but I had her talking, there
[Laughter]
Jason: Right now, I have a two o’clock, c’mon. Carl: Okay. Jason: See you next week, Carl. Carl: Oh yeah…Only next week you go first, that way if we run out of time…we can take it out of my session. Jason: Oh, you think that’s wise?
14
Carl: [gasps in mock horror]
[Laughter]
Jason: Oh, put some clothes on, will you, Boner.
[Laughter]
Jason: Hi. Jill: Hi. Is anybody else around? Jason: No, just us. We’re ready. Come on in, have a seat.left off last time. Jill: I wanted to tell you that, I did what you said, and I uh talked to my dad. Jason: And?
Jill: He hugged me.Jason: Well that’s wonderful. Either that, or I’ll just pull up another lawn chair here. Jill: Anyway, um, this week’s been a little different. There was this girl at school, and um…
[Music starts playing]
Jason: Can I have a piece of gum? Jill: She asked to borrow this book…and I said okay…and we talked a little bit and…ended up

TV: And on the lighter side of the news Teen Scene magazine today released the results of its annual Teen Heartthrob poll. They have declared that the dreamiest guy alive is Kirk…Ben: Who cares?Mike: What are you watching?Ben: Nothing’s on.Mike: No, there’s gotta be.Ben: Anyway you’re not supposed to watch TV. You promised Mom and Dad you’d actually do your homework for a change.Mike: Hey, don’t sweat it. I will.TV: …More properly known as the castori is one of nature’s most ambitious engineers.Mike: And you said nothing was on.Carol: Why Mike, what in the world are you doing in here when you have that darn English report due?Jason: What? Mike!Mike: I’ll get you for this Carol.Jason: Mike, didn’t you put your hand on your heart and promise to do your homework?Mike: Dad, I will.
Jason: Well, what do we have to do? Pay you to do it?Mike: You know, I think you’re on to something here, Dad.Maggie: Oh, hey. Is that that PBS beaver special on yet? Mike, you are supposed to be doing…Mike: Doing my English homework. I know. What is it with you people? You act like I never do my homework or something.Everybody: Uh-huh.Mike: Come on! Look, it’s a crummy little four page English report on Raymond Chandler.Maggie: Four pages that are typed.Jason: Researched.Maggie: Footnoted.
Jason: With bibliography.Maggie: That you should have been working on for four weeks.Jason: And that is due tomorrow! And…Maggie: According to your teacher…Jason: If you don’t get at least a B on this…Maggie: You won’t pass the course and that means that you…Carol: Won’t graduate.Ben: Yea! Mike: What’d you guys do? Get together and rehearse this or something?Jason: Mike.Mike: Mom! Dad! Look, you don’t have to get so excited.Jason: Oh, we don’t?
Ben: Oh, man, he’s good!Jason: So, who exactly is this very dear, very close friend?Mike: Who? Well, you know, the name’s kinda slipping my mind…Boner: Sheena Woo-woo Berkowitz.Maggie: Oh, brother.Mike: Ok, alright. Now before you jump to the wrong conclusion here, just know that Sheena just got a very challenging job at Abozaban Pizza throwing dough in the air.Boner: Oh, yea.
Carol: And Mom, Sheena’s famous for needing all kinds of support.Boner: Oh, yea.Jason: Boner, get out!Maggie: Jason, that’s rude.Jason: Sorry.Maggie: Mike go to your room. Go straight to your room and get started on your paper.Mike: But, what…Jason: And don’t come out of your room until you either finish that homework or you turn 21, whichever comes first.Boner: You tied up all night, Mikey?Maggie: Boner, get out!
Boner: Yea, right. Sure, listen. Woo-woo’s shift ends at eight o’clock. I want to beat the crowd and get the spot right in front of the window.Mike: No, I’m serious, man. I gotta finish my stupid English report.Boner: Mikey, Mikey. Think about what counts here! You don’t got no need for English!Mike: I can’t believe it! I mean, all my life, I’ve been walking past the windows of pizza parlors
and who’s always in there? Yea, some porked out old guy named Guido. But now it’s Woo-woo Berkowitz. Throwing gobs of dough, high in the air, reaching up to catch them, arching her back and stretching. The perfect blend of form and function. The face, the hair…Boner: The anchovies.Mike: You know, I would pay money to see her toss anything in the air. Look, man, there’s always tomorrow night, right?Boner: No, no, no, no. Not for me, see, I’m going tonight because there could be a nuclear war tomorrow and I would never forgive myself.
Mike: Oh, great. Just great, Bone.Jason: Oh, Mike.Mike: Oh, Dad!Jason: Yea, Mike. When I saw you out here playing with the basketball, just wasting time, I thought to myself well I gotta say, I got to be honest here, I got to tell you right now, Mike, I got angry. Then I thought, no, no, no, no. Maybe Mike’s really got a future in professional basketball. So, why don’t you just forget about that English report, forget about school, forget about the fact you’re 5’7 and white. You know, I promised myself, Mike, if you made that last shot, boy, I’d just let you party! Just sail right on in to that NBA draft. I guess we both know what that last air ball cost you.Mike: Later, Bone.
Mike: Good idea. Start it now, Ben…Oh, Mom!Ben: Uh, Mom. This isn’t disgusting. This is the local news!Maggie: The TV stays off for the rest of the night.Ben: What?Maggie: Sorry, Ben. Your brother can’t handle the distractions.
Ben: Dad! Mom won’t let me watch the news!Maggie: Mike. Upstairs and I mean now! March!Mike: March? Mom, come on. Look, we’re both adults here and you don’t need to treat me like I’m some silly, little child.Maggie: Go! Now!Mike: Aw, nuts!
[Next scene]
Mike: Treat me like a little kid, huh? Alright, to work. Hey! Where’s my desk? Alright! Who swiped my desk?Jason: Mike, get to work now!Mike: Oh, fine. How’s a guy supposed to work without a desk? Oh, wait a minute. Oh, here it is. Alright. A desk. Now, what else? Typewriter. Hey! Alright. Ok, who stole my typewriter?Maggie: Mike! Get to work!Mike: Oh, great. Just great, Mom. How’s a guy supposed to type a stupid report when he…Ow. Ok, now, where’s the Raymond Chandler book? Oh, great. Hey! Somebody stole my…Ok. Oh, that’s a lot of paper. I only need four pieces. Ok. First, I’ll start with putting the paper in.
extent of the depth, symbolism, and import that he weaves into his stories. I mean, take The Long Goodbye, for example, I mean, here Chandler…Mike: Wait, wait! Please oh please oh please! Testing one two three! Please work, please work, please work!Recorder: Testing one two three! Please work, please work, please work!Mike: Oh, yea?Carol: Oh, yea, what?Mike: Well, I was saying you were totally wrong about what you were saying before.
Carol: What was I saying?Mike: Oh, well, you know, about Raymond Chandler playing the cymbals.Carol: No, Mike. I said his work was fraught with symbolism and import.Mike: Oh, right, right. Well, uh, prove it.Carol: Prove it?Mike: Yea. Carol: Well, Mike, you need only read The Long Goodbye to see how Chandler used the metaphor of the 40’s gumshoe to illustrate the plight of the modern man in the twentieth century, alone to fight the incredible odds. I mean, essentially, Chandler’s message was that modern man hadn’t traveled that far since Chaucerian days.Maggie: That’s enough, Carol.Carol: What’d I do?Maggie: Well, I guess about most of your brother’s paper.
Ben: I wasn’t watching the news! I swear!Maggie: Ben, how would you like to make ten dollars?Ben: I’d rather make a hundred.Maggie: Ten’s all.Ben; What’s the job?Maggie: I want you to stand guard outside this room.Mike: What?Maggie: If Mike comes out for any reason, you let me know.
Mike: But, Mom, Mom. If you think that Benny here, my pal, my bro, my blood, would sell me out for ten dollars, you are so wrong. I mean, Benny couldn’t live with himself, right?Ben: No, Mom. I couldn’t.Mike: See?Ben: For twenty I could!Maggie: Ten.Ben: I could live with that.
[Next scene]
Mike: Yea!Jason: Good.Mike: Yea!Jason: ‘Cause this is a hostage, Mike.Mike: Dad!Jason: And this is a non-negotiable demand! I want the English report. Or you will never see your stereo alive again.Mike: Hey, hey! Dad watch out for the…
[Next scene]
Maggie: What the heck happened?Jason: He has no music, no friends, no food except for whatever might be growing under his bed. And no more distractions, nothing. Nothing to do except finish his paper. Aw, whatever happened to the bikini question?Maggie: They answered it. It was ‘no.’Are you sure there’s nothing else up there for him to do? Jason: Nothing! Unless, he decides to clean up his room.Maggie and Jason: Nah.
[Next scene]
Maggie: Or he escaped out the window. Or he fell asleep working. Jason: Let’s see how he did. ‘The.’Maggie: Go on.Jason: There is no on.Maggie: Mike!Mike: Oh, uh, Mom! Mom! I’m doing great here. I’m on a roll! Oh, Dad, you’re here, too!Jason: Oh, you’re on a roll? This is a roll? One word, one lousy syllable in an hour and a half?Mike: Yea, but I spelled it right.
Maggie: Oh, Mike, that’s not funny!Mike: Mom, look, I really wish I had more time to chat, but this report is due pretty soon.Maggie: Mike, this is not cute, amusing, or charming!Mike: Well, Mom…Jason: I give up!Maggie: Well, I don’t!Jason: Aw, Maggie. Come on. We can’t help him anymore. It’s not enough for us to want things for him. He’s gotta want them for himself. And apparently all he wants is to be a bum.Mike: You’re really mad at me, aren’t you Dad?Maggie: Yes!Jason: No.Maggie: No?
[Next scene]
Maggie: Jason, what the…you didn’t mean that.
Jason: Well, of course, I didn’t mean that.Maggie: But you sounded so convincing.Jason: Well, I hope so.Maggie: Jason, you should’ve started insulting Mike years ago. Where you going?Jason: Well, now that I’m on a roll I think I’ll go wake up Ben and tell him how disappointed I am in him.
