Carol: Don’t do anything gross Boner. We are eating. Boner: From the holes of Montessori, to the shores of Tripoli. What do you think? Mike: I think his main engine just went down. Ben: Where did you get the neat hat? Boner: As of two pm this afternoon, one pm central, it is official. I am a Marine. I see you are speechless from the heavyosity of my news.Mike: You did what? Boner: I enlisted in the Marines. Mike: Whose? Boner: Well I didn’t ask. Ours I hope. Mike: Boner, are you out of your mind? Boner: Do I look like I am out of my mind? Maggie: Not one word Ben.
Boner: Now listen. I got to go home and tell my parents about this. Yours was on my way home and I couldn’t resist coming in and sharing my joy. Nough said. Mike: No Boner. That is not nearly nough said.Boner: Oh, I forgot. As you were.
(At Boner house) Boner: Hey Mikey. Let me turn this off. Neighbors: Finally.Mike: Hey Bone. Let’s talk about this Marine thing. Alright. Boner: Sure Mike. I've been wanting to talk to you. Mike: Now what you said about joining the Marines isn’t like what you said about what you and Angela Scoffengelio did? Boner: No, no, no, no. The Marine thing is true.
Mike: Oh no. Boner: What? Mike: Well maybe there's still hope. You didn’t sign anything did you? Boner: Well my name. Mike: Oh no. Boner: And I took a test. Mike: That you probably had to pass. Alright, you are out of this deal. Boner: I passed. Mike: You passed! Boner, did you have to pick a time like this to pass a test? Boner: Yep. And in two weeks I leave for basic and beautiful sunny San Diego. Mike: Oh Bone. Why didn’t you jut think before you ran off and did some crazy thing like this?Boner: Well Mikey I have been thinking about this. For a long time. And when I got my grades today I realized what I had to do. Mike: Well Boner why didn’t you just tell me that you were having these crazy thoughts. Boner: Well I was going to, but figured you didn’t want to hear about it. See it all started when I was... Mike: I don’t want to hear about it. Do you have any idea what you are doing? I mean this is the marines. These are the guys who wake up when it’s dark and run for six miles. I mean they also carry guns. Do you really want to join an organization that’s going to trust you with a loaded gun?Boner: Mikey, I aint going to be anywhere near guns. I signed up for artillery.
Boner: You know I expected you to be a little nicer to me about this. You're supposed to be my best friend. Mike: Bone I am your best friend. That’s why I am telling you if you join the Marines you are
Boner: Mikey, I didn’t just join the army or the navy or the National Guard. I joined the Marines. Mike: I should have known you were nuts the first day you showed up without your pants.Boner: Hu? Mike: In the first grade. When you showed up in your over coat and your underwear.Boner: I didn’t forget my pants. My mum dressed me that day. I told you that a hundred times.
Mike: Come on, there's got to be a way to get you out of this somehow. I got it. My dads a psychiatrist, he's always saying how you're nuts. We'll just get him to write it down. Boner: Mikey I don’t want to get out of this.Mike: Come on Bone, you can’t let a bad report card spook you like this. Boner: It’s easy for you to say. You got D's.Mike: Alright, what about your future? Boner: Mikey, until I joined the marines, I didn’t have a future. In eight weeks I could be driving a thirty million dollar tank.Mike: Boner, I couldn’t even teach you a stick shift! Now look, I’m telling you, if you join the Marines, you are just going to upset your whole life. What did your parents say? Boner: They cried. Mike: See.Boner: They said they’d never been prouder of me. You know my dad was a Marine. He said
that’s what’s made him what he is today.Boners Dad: Time to hit the wrap, Private Stabone.Boners Mum: Bedtime my little Marine. Boner: Can I stay a couple more minutes? Me and Mikey are talking. Boners Dad: Sure, a couple of minutes will be fie. Boners mum: And how are you tonight Mikey? Mike: Oh I’m fine. And how are you guys? Boners dad: Damn fine Mikey. We are just so tickled pink about Richards’s decision. Mrs Stabone actually wept in her linguini.Mike: Wo. Boners Mum: It will be hard not having him around, but what a wonderful thing he's doing, for himself and for our grateful nation.Boners Dad: hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. We'll wait for you inside Richard.Boner: Yeah. Boners Mum: Goodnight Mikey. Mike: Goodnight. Boners dad: Goodnight Seaver. Mike: Hey.(Parents go in crying) Boy. Boner: Yeah. They are finally calming down.Mike: Man, they are nuttier than you are.Boner: Hey mike. That’s a very rude thing to say.
Boners Dad: Richard! Time to say goodbye to Mikey.
Mike: That’s exactly what it means.
Jason: Phew! I thought for a minute that it was a clumsy burglar. Mike: I mean Boner actually joined the Marines. Can you believe that dad? Jason: Well.. Mike: Yeah. That dweeb leaves for basic and training in two weeks.Jason: Why, what are you so angry about? Mike: Haven’t you heard a word I said dad? He just joined the Marines. Jason: Well shouldn’t it be the Marines who are upset? Come on Mike. I mean I understand you being upset about your best friend going away, but where is all this anger from? Mike: Because dad, he's making a big mistake. I mean you should have heard him tonight. I was pathetic. He was babbling some nonsense about making a decision about what he wants to do with his life. About picking his future before it picks him.
Jason: Get to the pathetic part mike. Maggie: I heard all the yelling. What did you do this time Mike?Jason: Boner really enlisted.Maggie: Really. Mike: Yeah. I mean I tried to talk to him but he wouldn’t listen to me. I mean do you have any idea what its like to talk to somebody about their future, and have not a word of what you're saying sink in? Jason: No. No. Not me. How about you Mags? Maggie: Nah. Jason: Mike, have you considered the possibility that Boners decision is a good one for him? Mike: Oh come on dad. Boner's a quitter. He's a college drop out. And you defend him? Maggie: Mike, why are you so angry? Mike: What is with the two of you? Hu? I mean isn’t it obvious? Boner is leaving me and he's
Carol: What? Boner: I know we would have been great together, but I’m sure you'll find somebody else. Someday. Carol: Thank you. I sure hope so. Boner: So, anyway. Jason: Yeah, have you already been up to say goodbye to Mike? Boner: Uh no. Me and Mike aint talking. We had a fight. Maggie: Oh Boner, if people stop talking to people they care about just because of a fight.... Ben: This house would be a lot quieter. Maggie: That’s true.Boner: Yeah well, well, I don’t want to see Mike. I don’t even want to talk to him. Is he home? Jason: Yeah he should be. He's probably asleep. Boner: How do you now?
Jason: He's got a class in fifteen minutes.Mike: Keys. Alright. Boner. Boner: Mikey. Boner: So, are you on your way to class? Mike: What day is it today? Boner: Wednesday. Mike: Oh, you're right. I do have a class. Boner: I didn’t want to bother you. I just want to say goodbye. I'm leaving today.Mike: Yeah, I know. I was going to come by your house. Boner: Yeah?Mike: Yeah. I mean, hey. I couldn’t let my buddy leave without at least saying hey. Hey. Boner: Hey. Mike: Hey, you know I didn’t think you'd get that suit til after boot camp. Boner: Oh, this is my dads. He got it in tam. Mike: Don’t you mean Nam?
Boner: No, I mean your address. Mike: Fifteen Robinhood Lane. You know that. Boner: Hey, it’s been thirteen years and I never had to write you. Mike: Yeah. You could just come by.Boner: Well basics is over in two months, and then I get a three day furlough. Mike: Alright, I can’t wait. Boner: Yeah, we can hang out and goof around. I'll be happy to waste time with you then. Mike: Ah yeah.Boner: Like the good old days. Mike: You bet ya. Boner: Yeah, you can’t kill a friendship like ours with a stick. Mike: Not even with a big stick. Boner: No.
Mike: Well I guess I’ll see you later. Boner: Yeah. See you later. I'll walk you back to your steps.Mike: Alright. Great. Boner: Yeah. So. See you later.Mike: Hey, I’ll walk you halfway down the driveway. Boners dad: Lets go, you little jarhead.Boner: I'd better go. I hear the Marines frown on tardiness.Mike: Good luck Bone. Boner: You too Mikey. Mike: Hey Bone, you know how the marines say that they are looking for a few good men?Boner: Yeah. Mike: Well now they got one less good man to look for. Boner: Fifteen Robinhood Lane. Got it. Mike: Yeah, I know you do Bone. Knock em dead. Boner: Not at boot camp. We only practice.Mike: You know what I mean. Boner: Yeah.
(Jason’s voice in Mikes head): Sooner or later you have to pick your future, before it picks you.(Boners voice in Mikes head): Hey, I’m picking my future before it picks me.
Mike: Its time Mike. Its time.

Mike: How the heck did I let you talk me into getting up before the pigs just to get tickets to a stupid concert? Ben: Because you are broke, and I’m paying you five bucks an hour. I hope we get there while there's still some good tickets left.Mike: He he. Alright. That’s another five bucks in my pocket. Ben: And while I can still afford them.Mike: So all these people are here to see Jonathon Keith. Kids today! Ben: What’s wrong with him? Mike: Nothing, but lets face it, he's not The Whatever. Ben: The who? Mike: No, not The Who. That’s that old band that dad like. I’m talking about The Whatever. Count Vay. Alright!
(girl pushes in) Ben: Hey! Mike: Hey! What the heck are you doing.....for breakfast? Ah, what’s your name? Ellie: Ellie.Ben: Hey, that’s the same name as Jonathon’s wife.Ellie: I know. What’s your name? Mike: Jonathon. Ellie: Wow!Mike: Yeah, what a coincidence, hu?Ben: Don’t listen to him. His name's not Jonathon. He's just my taxi driver.Mike: You talking to me? I'm the only taxi driver here. Have you ever seen the movie "Taxi Driver"?
Ellie: With Danny Devito as Louis. Mike: No, with Robert De Niro as an insane person. See he starts to talk to himself. And makes no sense what so ever. Kind of like I’m doing right now. Ellie: Uh hu. Ben: Hey look! Jonathon’s on. Mike: Am I the only one who doesn’t hear any music? Ben: Great song hu? Ellie: You said it.Man: Hey folks, can you believe it? The concert's sold out. Everyone: Oh no! Man: And I’ve been camped out here for three days man. Ben: I can’t believe this. I've been saving my money for months. What am I going to do? Mike: Hey, look on the bright side Bennie. Now you can pay your taxi driver that big tip that he deserves.Ben: You talking to me?
Jason: So was I right? You two were the only guys in line? Ben: It was sold out. Maggie: Oh pumpkin. Jason: Sorry Ben.Ben: Like I said, we should have camped out like I wanted. Mike: If I’d have been on the clock, I could have been up for it. Carol: Mike, sometimes you can be so thoughtless in what you say. Ben: Man! Sold out, the cruelest word I ever heard. Carol: Well actually Ben, its two words. Ben: Carol, I can think of another two words.Maggie: Ben! Ben: Sorry. I'm just upset. Jason: Come on Ben. There'll be other concerts.Ben: Not Jonathon’s. Jason: Well I wished there was something I could do son.
Jason: Oh yeah, but you remember the kind of guy Alex is. You can go for years without talking to him, and the minute you do it’s like not a day has passed.Hello Alex. Jason. Seaver. Medical School. Cornell. Right right. No,no. Full head of hair. Yeah, so how have you been? Great. Yeah look, I was wondering since you and I spoke at that last reunion a couple of years ago and, uh, you said make sure you keep in touch...Yeah, you said that. Well you know my son, he thinks that your son is just the most unbeliev...No I have no
idea how many people hit you up for tickets. No, you have every right to resent that. No, no, that’s it. I just wanted to touch base. Yeah so I’ll see you at the next reunion. Or not. Yeah bye. Maggie: How many tickets did you get? Jason: Maggie.Maggie: Oh honey, I’m just trying to cheer you up with a little joke. Jason: Ben would have been so happy. Now I’ve got to go call a scalper and spend four hundred bucks. Maggie: I've got an idea. Jason: I love it.Maggie: I don’t know why id didn’t think of this before. Jason: What is it? Maggie: I'm going to call the entertainment editor at the station. Yes this is Maggie Malone for
Steve Jerkins. He's always bragging about his music contacts.Jason: Yeah well it’s worth a shot.Maggie: Hello Steve. This is Maggie. I've got a question. See my son Ben is a big fan of Jonathon Keith, and he would just kill for tickets to..uh hu. Jason: Don’t feel bad sweetheart. I failed too. Maggie: That would be wonderful. Jason, how about if you and me take Ben tonight?Jason: Sure. Maggie: Oh Steve, I can’t thank you enough. Oh no, no,no. Three tickets is plenty. Oh don’t be silly. You don’t have to send a limo.
Ben: Wow! Maggie: Yes, and this afternoon we can go down to the arena and watch them do the sound check for tonight’s concert.Ben: I get to watch Jonathon set up for the show? Jason: Uh hu.
Jason: Hey Maggie. This is quite a bargain. Two babysitters for the price of five.
Ben: Jonathon’s dressing room has got to be around here somewhere. Maggie: Jason, was that sound check especially loud, or am I getting older than I thought? Jason: Older. Maggie: Older. Jason: See, your hearing is fine. You're a young woman. Ben: That’s the door. I bet you that's it.Jason: Ben, that door says janitor.Ben: That’s probably just to fool the bozoz. But it didn’t fool me.Jason: Well you know, he may have gone back to his hotel or something. He may not even be around here. That’s the way Elvis used to do it. Ben: Dad, Elvis is dead.Man: Alright, Jonathon wants some hot coffee in his dressing room ASAP.
Man 2: Where am I going to find hot coffee at three o clock in the afternoon? Ok, I’m on it.Ben: He's here. Jonathon’s here! I got to got o the bathroom again. Maggie: That’s not a bad idea. Jason: What, the excitement is too much for you too? Maggie: What? Jason: Just go to the bathroom. Maggie: Thank you, thank you. Jason: Oh sorry. I didn’t see you. Man 3: No sweat pops. Jason: Pops! Ha ha ha. You know they say the eyes are the first to go. Oh uh. Excuse me Jonathon, Jonathon. Could I get your autograph? Jonathon: Oh yeah. No problem man. You know it’s nice to have fans your age. Jason: I'm not a fan of yours. My son is a big fan of yours. His name's Ben. Could you make it out to Ben? I knew you dad, you know.Jonathon: Yeah, me too.
Jonathon: Oh, you're sorry. Well sorry is not good enough. Now I will meet this guys brat. Why? Because I’m a nice guy. So go get this pain in the butt photographer and let’s get some PR mileage out of this. Please. And make sure that future bozos stay out of my face.Man 1: Hey! Jason: Its alright, I belong here. I'm the original bozo. Maggie.
