Stand by Me

en
00:01:31 I was 12 going on 13
00:01:37 It happened in the summer of 1959...
00:01:40 ... a long time ago...
00:01:42 ... but only if you measure it
00:01:49 I was living in a small town in Oregon
00:01:53 There were only 1,281 people,
00:01:58 It's the Bossman Bob Cormier.
00:02:01 It's 90 KLAM degrees and getting hotter.
00:02:04 Up the ladder with another platter.
00:02:07 ... it's boss.
00:02:25 How do you know a Frenchman's been
00:02:28 I'm French, okay.
00:02:30 Your garbage cans are empty
00:02:33 Didn't I just say I was French?
00:02:35 - I knock.
00:02:38 Twenty-nine.
00:02:39 Twenty-two.
00:02:41 Piss up a rope.
00:02:44 Gordie's out, OI' Gordie just bit the bag
00:02:50 Come on, man, deal.
00:02:52 Teddy Duchamp was the craziest guy
00:02:54 He didn't have much of a chance in life.
00:02:56 His dad was given to fits of rage.
00:02:59 One time he held Teddy's ear to a stove
00:03:03 I knock.
00:03:05 You four-eyed pile of shit.
00:03:07 The "pile of shit" has 1,000 eyes.
00:03:12 What?
00:03:13 What's so funny?
00:03:15 Sixteen.
00:03:17 Go ahead, keep laughing.
00:03:18 You're down to your ride, pal.
00:03:20 Chris Chambers was the leader of our gang
00:03:23 He came from a bad family
00:03:27 Including Chris.
00:03:30 That's not the secret knock.
00:03:32 I forgot the secret knock. Let me in.
00:03:34 Vern.
00:03:36 Come on, you guys, open up.
00:03:39 Man, you guys are not going
00:03:44 Wait till you hear this.
00:03:46 You won't believe it. It's unbelievable.
00:03:48 Let me catch my breath. I ran all the way
00:03:51 "I ran all the way home"
00:03:54 Come on. Listen to me, this is boss.
00:03:56 "Just to say I'm sorry"
00:03:58 Okay, forget it.
00:04:01 Hold on, you guys. Hold on.
00:04:03 Great, you won't believe this, sincerely.
00:04:06 "I ran all the way home"
00:04:08 Screw you guys. Forget it.
00:04:10 What is it?
00:04:11 Can you camp out tonight?
00:04:13 I mean, if you tell your folks
00:04:16 I think so.
00:04:18 Except my dad's kind of on a mean streak.
00:04:21 You got to. Sincerely,
00:04:25 Yeah, probably.
00:04:26 So what are you pissing and moaning
00:04:29 - I knock.
00:04:30 You liar! You ain't got no pat hand.
00:04:33 You didn't deal yourself no pat hand.
00:04:35 Make your draw, shitheap.
00:04:38 You guys want to go see a dead body?
00:04:44 I was under the porch digging, you know?
00:04:47 We all understood
00:04:49 At the beginning of the school year
00:04:53 ... underneath his house.
00:04:55 He drew a treasure map
00:04:57 A week later his mom cleaned out
00:05:02 Vern had been trying to find those pennies
00:05:05 ... nine months, man.
00:05:07 You didn't know whether laugh or cry.
00:05:10 Jesus, Billy, we gotta do something.
00:05:12 Why? Who cares?
00:05:14 - We saw him.
00:05:16 It's nothin' to us. The kid's dead
00:05:19 And who gives a shit if they ever find him?
00:05:23 It's that kid they're talking about
00:05:25 Brocker or Brower or Flowers,
00:05:29 The train must have hit him.
00:05:32 Big fucking deal.
00:05:34 We had all followed
00:05:36 ... since he was a kid our age.
00:05:38 Three days before, he left to pick
00:05:42 I think we should tell the cops.
00:05:44 You don't go squawking to the cops
00:05:47 They'll want to know how we got way out
00:05:50 They know we don't got no car.
00:05:52 It's best we just keep quiet,
00:05:54 But we could make an anonymous call.
00:05:57 They trace those calls stupid. I seen it
00:06:02 Yeah, right.
00:06:03 I wish we never boosted
00:06:06 I wish Ace had been with us.
00:06:07 - We could've said he was in his car.
00:06:10 - Are we gonna tell him?
00:06:13 Nobody, never. You dig me?
00:06:15 I know the Back Harlow Road.
00:06:18 It comes to a dead end by the Royal River.
00:06:21 Me and my dad fished out there.
00:06:22 If they had known you were under there,
00:06:26 Could he have gotten all the way from
00:06:30 Sure. He probably started walking on the
00:06:35 Yeah, right.
00:06:36 And then after dark, a train must have
00:06:46 I bet you, if we find him,
00:06:49 We could even be on TV.
00:06:51 - Sure.
00:06:53 I don't know. Billy will know I found out.
00:06:56 He's not going to care.
00:06:59 Not Billy and Charlie Hogan,
00:07:02 They'll probably pin a medal on you.
00:07:04 You think so?
00:07:06 Sure.
00:07:07 What'll we tell our folks?
00:07:09 Exactly what you said.
00:07:11 We'll tell our folks
00:07:14 You tell your folks
00:07:16 Then we say we're going
00:07:19 We're rock solid
00:07:21 Man that's a plan and a half.
00:07:23 But, if we find the body in South Harlow,
00:07:27 We'll get hided.
00:07:28 Nobody will care...
00:07:30 ...because everybody will be jazzed
00:07:32 ...it won't make a difference.
00:07:34 My dad will hide me anyway,
00:07:37 - Shit, yeah.
00:07:39 - All right.
00:07:40 Sure.
00:07:41 Vern?
00:07:43 I don't know.
00:07:45 Come on, Vern-O.
00:07:51 - Okay.
00:07:53 Too cool. Very cool.
00:07:56 I wanted to share my friends' enthusiasm,
00:08:01 That summer at home,
00:08:06 Mom, do you know where my canteen is?
00:08:12 Mom?
00:08:17 It's in Denny's room.
00:08:20 In April, my older brother, Dennis,
00:08:25 Four months had passed...
00:08:26 ... but my parents still hadn't been able
00:09:07 Gordie, I got something for you.
00:09:11 This, my friend, is for you.
00:09:15 - This is your Yankee cap.
00:09:17 This is your Yankee cap.
00:09:18 It's a good luck cap.
00:09:21 - How much?
00:09:22 A bazillion fish.
00:09:26 - No. I'm going blind.
00:09:32 You found it.
00:09:36 You found it.
00:09:45 Why can't you have friends like Denny's?
00:09:48 Dad, they're okay.
00:09:50 Sure they are. A thief and two feebs.
00:09:52 Chris isn't a thief.
00:09:54 He stole the milk money at school.
00:09:56 He's a thief in my book.
00:10:15 It was almost noon as we set out to find
00:10:21 Right here's cool.
00:10:26 - Thanks a lot.
00:10:31 - You want to see something?
00:10:33 - You okay?
00:10:35 What is it?
00:10:37 - You've got to see this.
00:10:43 What is it?
00:10:49 You want to be the Lone Ranger
00:10:53 Walking, talking Jesus!
00:10:55 - Where'd you get this?
00:10:59 It's a.45.
00:11:00 I can see that.
00:11:06 You got shells for it?
00:11:08 I took what was left in the box.
00:11:10 My dad'll think he used them himself
00:11:15 - Is it loaded?
00:11:19 Jesus!
00:11:21 Let's get out of here. Come on.
00:11:24 Gordie did it. Gordon Lachance
00:11:27 Shut up.
00:11:28 Hey, who did that?
00:11:34 You should have seen your face.
00:11:37 - That was really fine.
00:11:40 I'm in trouble now.
00:11:43 - Shit, she thought it was firecrackers.
00:11:49 I didn't know it was loaded.
00:11:51 - Honest.
00:11:54 I swear.
00:11:55 On your mother's name?
00:11:58 Even if she goes to hell for your lie?
00:12:00 I swear.
00:12:03 Pinky swear?
00:12:06 Pinky swear.
00:12:14 Girls, where you going?
00:12:15 - Come on, my brother gave me that!
00:12:19 Give it to me!
00:12:21 That's mine.
00:12:23 You're a real asshole, you know that?
00:12:29 Your brother's not very polite, Eyeball.
00:12:31 Now, Christopher.
00:12:33 I know you didn't mean to insult my friend.
00:12:36 I know he didn't mean to insult me.
00:12:38 That's why I'll give him the opportunity
00:12:45 - Shit.
00:12:47 - Stop it, you're hurting him.
00:12:50 - Stop it! Cut it out!
00:12:54 You big... Okay, I take it back.
00:13:01 There.
00:13:02 Now I feel a whole lot better about this.
00:13:06 How about you?
00:13:09 Good.
00:13:13 See you later girls.
00:13:26 Let's just forget them.
00:13:41 What do we need a pistol for anyway?
00:13:43 It's spooky sleeping out at night
00:13:46 Or a garbage can.
00:13:52 I brought a comb.
00:13:53 What do we need a comb for?
00:13:55 If we get on TV
00:13:57 - That's a lot of thinking, Vern.
00:13:59 Two for flinching.
00:14:06 How far do you think it's gonna be?
00:14:10 If we follow the tracks all the way
00:14:14 Sound about right to you?
00:14:16 It might even be 30.
00:14:18 Maybe we should just hitchhike.
00:14:21 - No way, that sucks.
00:14:23 We could go out to Route 7
00:14:26 ...then down the Back Harlow Road.
00:14:29 That's pussy.
00:14:30 It's a long way.
00:14:32 Did your mother ever have any kids
00:14:35 What do you mean?
00:15:02 We have to fill up at the junkyard.
00:15:07 - Not if Chopper's there.
00:15:10 Very funny.
00:15:15 I'm kind of hungry. Who's got the food?
00:15:19 Did anybody bring anything?
00:15:22 Not me.
00:15:25 This is great. What are we supposed
00:15:28 You mean,
00:15:30 This wasn't my idea. It was Vern's.
00:15:34 I have to think of everything?
00:15:36 What do you need a comb for?
00:15:39 I brought it for you guys,
00:15:42 Let's see how much money we've got?
00:15:47 I got $1.02.
00:15:51 And 68 cents from Chris.
00:15:54 60 cents from Teddy.
00:16:01 7 cents, Vern?
00:16:04 I haven't found my pennies yet.
00:16:06 $2.37 cents, not bad.
00:16:09 Quidaciolu's is at the end of the road
00:16:12 I think we can get some stuff there.
00:16:14 Train coming.
00:16:19 Geronimo!
00:16:23 Come on, Teddy.
00:16:27 I'm gonna dodge it.
00:16:31 Get off the tracks. You're crazy.
00:16:33 Train dodge. Dig it?
00:16:40 Get the hell off the tracks.
00:16:43 Just like the beach at Normandy.
00:17:02 Don't tell me what to do or I'll kill you.
00:17:06 I'm trying to save your life.
00:17:08 You want to kill yourself?
00:17:10 Is that what you want, goddamn it?
00:17:11 You tried to kill yourself.
00:17:20 I don't need no babysitter.
00:17:22 You do, too.
00:17:29 Skin it.
00:17:32 I could have dodged it.
00:17:34 Listen, you can dodge it on the way back.
00:17:38 Peace.
00:17:40 Skin it.
00:18:07 About this time, Charlie and Billy
00:18:11 ... with Ace and Eyeball.
00:18:13 Shit on that. Goddamn it!
00:18:16 Shouldn't have gone for a wooden one.
00:18:18 Why don't you tell me something
00:18:22 Billy, you're up.
00:18:24 You guys win.
00:18:26 You can't quit.
00:18:28 We only played three innings.
00:18:32 Ace, me and...
00:18:36 What's with you homos?
00:18:41 What is it?
00:18:42 It's nothing, right?
00:18:45 Then if you don't mind,
00:18:48 ...before I start collecting
00:18:51 You're up, Billy. Move it.
00:18:53 All right, give me this fucking stick.
00:18:55 Let's play ball.
00:18:59 Foul ball.
00:19:14 Vern, it looks like
00:19:17 That's so funny I forgot to laugh.
00:19:21 Stand back, men!
00:19:23 Paratroopers, over the side!
00:19:26 "No Trespassing" was enforced
00:19:30 ... and his dog, Chopper.
00:19:31 The most feared and least seen dog
00:19:35 Legend had it that
00:19:39 ... but to sic specific parts
00:19:42 Thus, a kid who had illegally scaled
00:19:46 ... might hear the dread cry:
00:19:50 But right now neither the dread Chopper
00:19:52 ... was anywhere in sight.
00:19:56 Teddy's crazy.
00:19:58 Come on, men, move it out!
00:20:01 He won't live to be 20, I bet.
00:20:03 Remember the time you saved him
00:20:07 I dream about that sometimes.
00:20:10 Except in the dream I miss him.
00:20:15 It's weird.
00:20:16 That is weird.
00:20:18 But you didn't miss him.
00:20:20 Chris Chambers never misses, does he?
00:20:22 Not even when
00:20:26 Race you.
00:20:27 - No, I don't think so.
00:20:29 - I'm kind of tired. Go.
00:20:33 It looks like Lachance
00:20:35 He's got Chambers beat.
00:20:37 But what's this?
00:20:39 Lachance is fading
00:20:42 The crowd goes wild.
00:21:03 You guys been watching
00:21:07 I think Annette's tits are getting bigger.
00:21:09 - You think so?
00:21:10 I think he's right.
00:21:11 I've been noticing that the A and the E
00:21:17 Annette's tits are great.
00:21:21 This is a really good time.
00:21:23 The most.
00:21:24 A blast.
00:21:25 Vern didn't just mean being off limits
00:21:29 ... or fudging on our folks...
00:21:30 ... or going on a hike up the tracks
00:21:34 ... it seems to me now it was more
00:21:38 Everything was there and around us.
00:21:40 We knew exactly who we were
00:21:44 It was grand.
00:21:49 Great, spit at the fat kid. Real good.
00:21:53 What time is it?
00:21:55 It's a quarter after one.
00:21:57 You'd better go get the food.
00:22:00 Chopper'll be here.
00:22:01 Sic balls.
00:22:04 You go. You can pick us up
00:22:06 I'm not going alone. We should all go.
00:22:08 - I'm staying right here.
00:22:11 Girls, cool it. We'll flip for it.
00:22:14 Okay.
00:22:16 Odd man goes.
00:22:17 That's you, Gordie, odd as a cod.
00:22:19 Flip or eat lead.
00:22:26 Four tails.
00:22:28 Jesus, man, that's a goocher.
00:22:30 - That doesn't mean anything.
00:22:34 That's really bad.
00:22:35 Remember Clint Bracken and those guys
00:22:40 He said they flipped for beers
00:22:43 ...just before they got in the car.
00:22:45 And, bang! They all got totalled.
00:22:47 I don't like this. Sincerely.
00:22:51 Nobody believes that crap
00:22:54 It's baby stuff. Now come on, flip again.
00:23:00 Are you going to flip or not?
00:23:02 We don't have all day.
00:23:07 You lose, Gordie.
00:23:10 Gordie loses.
00:23:11 Old Gordie just screwed the pooch.
00:23:14 Does the word "retarded"
00:23:18 Go get the provisions, you morphadite.
00:23:20 Don't call me any
00:23:23 What a wet end you are, Lachance.
00:23:25 Shut up.
00:23:26 I don't shut up, I grow up.
00:23:31 Then your mother goes around the corner
00:23:36 Finding new and disgusting ways
00:23:40 ... was always held as high regard.
00:23:55 Ain't you Denny Lachance's brother?
00:23:58 Yes, sir.
00:24:00 Shame what happened to him.
00:24:03 The Bible says,
00:24:07 Did you know that?
00:24:10 I lost a brother in Korea.
00:24:14 You look like your brother Denny.
00:24:16 People ever tell you that?
00:24:18 Sometimes.
00:24:22 I remember the year
00:24:25 Quarterback, he played.
00:24:28 Boy, could he throw.
00:24:29 Father God and Sonny Jesus.
00:24:37 Could be some scouts
00:24:39 - I don't know, Pop.
00:24:42 - That's what I hear, Son.
00:24:46 I think she's a lovely girl.
00:24:47 - Dad, may I please have the potatoes?
00:24:51 He shouldn't be thinking about girls.
00:24:56 - Dennis, when you're there tomorrow...
00:25:00 Gordie wrote a story.
00:25:01 - It was really good.
00:25:04 That's what I'm talking about.
00:25:07 You start in on the girls
00:25:11 I really liked it.
00:25:13 I thought it was great.
00:25:19 You play football?
00:25:23 Do you play football?
00:25:27 No.
00:25:28 What do you do?
00:25:32 I don't know.
00:25:34 Your brother, Denny,
00:25:42 There you go, kid. $1.50 of hamburger.
00:26:11 You, kid! What are you doing there!
00:26:14 You, come back here, goddamn it!
00:26:18 Run!
00:26:21 Chopper, sic him! Sic him, boy!
00:26:24 Now he said: "Sic him, boy."
00:26:25 But what I heard was: "Chopper, sic balls."
00:26:44 That's Chopper?
00:26:45 Chopper was my first lesson in the vast
00:26:50 Come on, Choppie. Kiss my ass, Choppie.
00:26:54 Come on, bite shit.
00:26:57 Sic balls, Choppie.
00:27:00 You kids stop teasing that dog!
00:27:04 Sonny, I'm gonna beat your ass,
00:27:06 Let's see you climb over this fence
00:27:09 Don't you call me that!
00:27:11 You little tin weasel
00:27:15 What did you call me?
00:27:17 I know who you are,
00:27:20 Your dad's a loony.
00:27:21 A loony up in the nuthouse at Togus.
00:27:24 He took your ear and he put it to a stove
00:27:28 My father stormed the beach at Normandy.
00:27:30 He's crazier than a shithouse rat.
00:27:34 ...with a loony for a father.
00:27:36 You call my dad a loony again
00:27:40 Loony, loony.
00:27:42 I'm gonna rip your head off
00:27:45 No, I'm gonna kill him!
00:27:47 You come on and try it, you little bastard.
00:27:49 He wants you to go over so he can beat
00:27:53 You watch your mouth.
00:27:56 Sure, you only outweigh him
00:27:59 I know your name.
00:28:01 You're Lachance. I know all you guys.
00:28:04 And your fathers will get a call from me.
00:28:07 Except for the loony up in Togus.
00:28:11 I'm going to kill you. I'll show you.
00:28:13 - Get him away from...
00:28:16 You son of a bitch!
00:28:18 You come back here.
00:28:19 Do you hear me?
00:28:20 Nobody ranks out my old man.
00:28:22 - My father stormed the beach...
00:28:25 - He stormed the beach, you faggot!
00:28:36 We showed him.
00:28:41 He ranked my old man.
00:28:42 I wondered how he could care so much
00:28:46 ... and I didn't care about my own
00:28:50 That was for eating bleach under the sink.
00:28:52 He ranked my old man.
00:28:55 What do you care what a fat old pile of shit
00:28:58 He still stormed the beach
00:29:02 Do you think that pile of shit
00:29:05 Forget it, okay?
00:29:06 He knows nothin' about your old man.
00:29:08 Whatever's between you and your old man,
00:29:11 Forget it, all right?
00:29:41 I'm sorry if I'm spoiling
00:29:47 It's okay.
00:29:49 I'm not sure it should be a good time.
00:29:52 - You saying you want to go back?
00:29:56 But going to see a dead kid,
00:30:03 If he's really bad, like all cut up
00:30:07 ...I might have nightmares.
00:30:09 All guts and eyeballs
00:30:12 Shut up, goddamn it!
00:30:14 I can't help it.
00:30:17 Sorry.
00:30:20 It was only a quarter to three,
00:30:23 It was too hot and too much had happened.
00:30:26 We weren't even close to the Royal River.
00:30:28 We needed to get moving if we were
00:30:40 Hold still, will you?
00:30:48 So what's with you
00:30:52 I've been seeing her for over a month,
00:30:56 She's a Catholic. They're all like that.
00:30:59 You want to get laid
00:31:03 A Jew's good.
00:31:05 A KLAM newsbreak.
00:31:06 We interrupt to bring you an update
00:31:09 ... 12 year-old Ray Brower.
00:31:11 The police have expanded their search
00:31:13 ... Durham and the outlying areas.
00:31:15 When are they going to give up?
00:31:17 The kid's gone. They'll never find him.
00:31:19 Not where they're looking.
00:31:21 I was right,
00:31:23 Would you hold still?
00:31:27 I'll tell you how they're gonna find him.
00:31:29 Ten years from now a hunter's going to go
00:31:32 ...wind up pissing on his bones.
00:31:35 I bet you a $1,000
00:31:37 Bet you $2,000 they don't.
00:31:39 - Well, asshole...
00:31:42 - Who cares?
00:31:45 If either one of you assholes had $2,000,
00:31:49 We're back here with The Bossman.
00:31:51 From the racks and stacks,
00:31:53 It's the Cordettes, with Lollipop.
00:32:21 I got some Winstons.
00:32:22 Hocked them off my old man's dresser.
00:32:24 One apiece, for after supper.
00:32:27 That's cool.
00:32:29 That's when a cigarette tastes best,
00:32:32 Right.
00:32:40 Do you think I'm weird?
00:32:41 - Definitely.
00:32:44 Am I weird?
00:32:46 Yes, but so what? Everybody's weird.
00:32:57 You ready for school?
00:33:00 Junior high.
00:33:01 You know what that means.
00:33:04 By next June we'll all be split up.
00:33:06 What are you talking about?
00:33:09 'Cause it's not going to be like
00:33:12 You'll be taking college courses,
00:33:15 ...in the shop courses
00:33:21 You're gonna meet a lot of new guys.
00:33:25 - Meet a lot of pussies is what you mean.
00:33:28 Don't say that. Don't even think that.
00:33:30 - I'm not going in with a lot of pussies.
00:33:33 What's asshole with wanting
00:33:36 It's asshole if your friends drag you down.
00:33:38 You hang with us, you'll just be
00:33:42 You think Mighty Mouse could
00:33:44 - What are you, cracked?
00:33:47 The other day, he was carrying
00:33:50 You don't know nothin'.
00:33:52 Mighty Mouse is a cartoon.
00:33:53 Superman is a real guy.
00:33:59 Yeah, maybe you're right.
00:34:02 Would be a good fight, though.
00:34:06 You could be a real writer someday.
00:34:09 Fuck writing! I don't to be a writer.
00:34:11 - It's stupid. It's a stupid waste of time.
00:34:15 - Bullshit!
00:34:16 I know how your dad feels about you.
00:34:19 Denny was the one he cared about,
00:34:29 You're just a kid, Gordie.
00:34:31 Gee thanks, Dad.
00:34:33 I wish to hell I was your dad.
00:34:36 You wouldn't be talking about taking
00:34:41 It's like God gave you something, man,
00:34:45 ...and He said, "This is what we got
00:34:49 Kids lose everything unless there's
00:34:52 If your parents are too fucked-up to do it,
00:34:57 Come on, you guys, let's get moving.
00:34:59 By the time we get there
00:35:46 Any of you guys know
00:35:49 We could go down to the Route 136 Bridge.
00:35:51 What? Are you crazy?
00:35:54 You walk five miles down the river,
00:35:58 That could take till dark.
00:35:59 We go across here, we can get
00:36:03 But if a train comes, there's nowhere to go.
00:36:06 No, there isn't. You just jump.
00:36:08 - Teddy, it's a 100 feet.
00:36:11 You guys can go around if you want.
00:36:13 I'm crossing here.
00:36:15 And while you guys
00:36:17 ...half-way across the state and back,
00:36:22 ...relaxing with my thoughts.
00:36:24 You use your left hand
00:36:28 You wish.
00:37:33 I lost the comb.
00:37:35 Forget it, Vern.
00:38:12 Train!
00:38:18 Shit!
00:38:20 Move it, man! Go on! Move it!
00:38:22 Get up, Vern! Damn it!
00:38:24 Get up! Move it!
00:38:27 Shit, Vern!
00:38:29 - Get up, man!
00:38:33 We're gonna die, damn it! Get up!
00:38:36 Go.
00:38:44 - You've got to go faster!
00:38:52 Run!
00:38:57 Run, Vern, run! Move your ass!
00:39:07 Run, goddamn it, run!
00:39:33 At least now we know
00:39:45 That was the all-time train dodge.
00:39:49 You were so scared you looked like
00:39:53 I wasn't that scared.
00:39:56 No, really, I wasn't. Sincerely.
00:39:58 Then you won't mind if we check
00:40:01 Go screw.
00:40:03 You'd better turn yours over.
00:40:05 This is the way I like to do it.
00:40:07 Man!
00:40:09 You got any more, Gordie?
00:40:11 Sorry, Vern.
00:40:12 It's not funny. What am I supposed to eat?
00:40:14 - Why don't you cook your dick?
00:40:21 Screw you guys, I got it.
00:40:37 Nothing like a smoke after a meal.
00:40:41 I cherish these moments.
00:40:47 What? What did I say?
00:40:54 Gordie, why don't you tell us a story?
00:40:56 I don't know.
00:40:57 - Come on.
00:41:00 None of your horror stories, okay?
00:41:02 I don't want to hear no horror stories.
00:41:05 Tell us one about Sergeant Steel
00:41:09 The one I've been thinking about
00:41:12 It's about this pie-eating contest.
00:41:14 The main guy of the story is this fat kid
00:41:18 Like Charlie Hogan's brother, if he had one.
00:41:21 Good, Vern.
00:41:24 Go on.
00:41:26 Well, this kid, he's our age, but he's fat.
00:41:30 He weighs close to 180,
00:41:34 My cousin's like that. Sincerely.
00:41:37 She weighs over 300 pounds. Supposed
00:41:41 I don't know about any "hyboid" gland,
00:41:44 No shit.
00:41:47 - And, you know, this one time...
00:41:50 Right. Go on. It's a swell story.
00:41:53 All the kids, instead of calling him Davie,
00:41:59 Even his little brother
00:42:01 At school they put this sticker on his back
00:42:05 And they rank him out and beat him up
00:42:09 But one day he gets an idea.
00:42:12 The greatest revenge idea a kid ever had.
00:42:19 Is this thing on? Can you hear me?
00:42:22 The next contestant
00:42:26 ... Principal John Wiggins.
00:42:36 And our celebrity contestant,
00:42:41 ... The Boss-man himself, Bob Cormier!
00:42:48 From the racks and stacks
00:42:51 ... how about another double, golden oldie,
00:42:55 ...it's...
00:43:01 Next, a newcomer to the Pie Eat,
00:43:04 ... great things from in the future,
00:43:13 - Are you all right, young man?
00:43:18 I hear you got a big appetite, Lardass.
00:43:21 Don't even think about winning this.
00:43:25 Boy are you fat.
00:43:28 Don't pay attention to those fools,
00:43:44 And now,
00:43:47 The four-time champion,
00:43:58 Listen I got $10 riding
00:44:02 All right. Are you ready?
00:44:05 Hands behind your backs, gentlemen.
00:44:08 Drum roll.
00:44:09 Hey, Lardass. Chow down, Wide Load.
00:44:16 Go.
00:44:24 Done!
00:44:41 Done!
00:44:44 Done!
00:44:47 You better pace yourself,
00:44:50 Come on, Lardass!
00:44:52 Lardass, Lardass!
00:45:03 What the audience didn't know, was
00:45:08 What he wanted was revenge.
00:45:12 And right before he was introduced,
00:45:16 ... Principal John Wiggins.
00:45:25 And our celebrity contestant
00:45:31 ... The Bossman himself, Bob Cormier!
00:45:38 From the racks and stacks
00:45:40 ... how about another double, golden oldie,
00:45:44 ... it's...
00:45:45 Done.
00:45:49 Diving into his fifth pie, Lardass began
00:45:54 He pretended he was eating cowflops...
00:45:56 ... and rat guts in blueberry sauce.
00:45:59 Done.
00:46:03 Slowly, a sound started to build
00:46:08 A strange and scary sound...
00:46:11 ... like a log truck coming
00:46:27 Suddenly, Lardass opened his mouth...
00:46:31 ... and before Bill Travis knew it...
00:46:33 ... he was covered with five pies worth
00:46:38 The women in the audience screamed.
00:46:40 Bossman Bob Cormier took one look
00:46:45 Wiggins barfed on the lumberjack
00:46:49 Mayor Grundy barfed on his wife's tits!
00:46:52 But when the smell hit the crowd...
00:46:55 ...that's when Lardass's plan
00:46:58 Girlfriends barfed on boyfriends.
00:47:00 Kids barfed on their parents.
00:47:01 A fat lady barfed in her purse.
00:47:03 The Donelley twins barfed on each other.
00:47:05 The Women's Auxiliary barfed all over
00:47:10 And Lardass just sat back
00:47:14 A complete and total barfarama.
00:47:26 - Too cool!
00:47:30 Then what happened?
00:47:31 What do you mean?
00:47:33 I mean, what happened?
00:47:36 What do you mean, "What happened?"
00:47:39 How can that be the end? What kind of an
00:47:43 I don't know.
00:47:45 Maybe he went home and celebrated
00:47:48 Jesus, that ending sucks.
00:47:52 Why don't you make it
00:47:55 ...and he shoots his father.
00:47:56 Then he runs away
00:47:59 How about that?
00:48:00 I don't know.
00:48:02 Something good like that.
00:48:04 I like the ending. The barfing was good.
00:48:07 But there's one thing I didn't understand.
00:48:11 Did Lardass have to pay
00:48:15 No, Vern, they just let him in.
00:48:19 Great, great story.
00:48:21 It's a great story.
00:48:24 Where's the radio?
00:48:27 Here.
00:48:36 We talked into the night.
00:48:38 The kind of talk that seemed important
00:48:41 All right.
00:48:42 Mickey's a Mouse. Donald's a duck.
00:48:47 What's Goofy?
00:48:49 If I could only have one food
00:48:52 That's easy. Pez.
00:48:54 Cherry flavoured Pez.
00:48:58 Goofy's a dog. He's definitely a dog.
00:49:03 I knew the $64,000 Question was fixed.
00:49:06 There's no way anybody can know
00:49:10 He can't be a dog.
00:49:14 Wagon Train is a really cool show...
00:49:17 ...but did you ever notice
00:49:20 They just keep wagon training.
00:49:23 God, that's weird.
00:49:25 What the hell is Goofy?
00:49:29 Not one of us mentioned Ray Brower,
00:49:40 Oh, my God.
00:49:41 It's the Brower kid.
00:49:42 His ghost is out walking in the woods.
00:49:47 I promise I won't hock
00:49:49 I promise I won't say no more bad swears.
00:49:54 Two for flinching.
00:50:00 What is it, Chris?
00:50:03 Maybe it's coyotes.
00:50:04 Sounds like a woman screaming.
00:50:06 It's not coyotes. It's his ghost.
00:50:09 Don't say that.
00:50:10 Teddy, sit down.
00:50:12 I'm gonna go look for it.
00:50:14 Don't say that.
00:50:16 I just want to see it!
00:50:19 Jesus H. Bald-headed Christ!
00:50:26 Maybe we should stand guard.
00:50:29 That's a good idea.
00:50:33 Give me the gun. I'll take the first watch.
00:50:48 23:00 hours.
00:50:56 No sign of the enemy. The fort is secure.
00:50:59 Shut up, Teddy, and keep your eyes peeled.
00:51:11 - Cut it out.
00:51:17 The dogfaces rested easy...
00:51:19 ...in the knowledge that
00:51:22 ...was protecting all that was dear to them.
00:52:55 It should have been you, Gordon.
00:53:00 Are you okay?
00:53:04 You were dreaming.
00:53:16 I didn't cry at Denny's funeral.
00:53:23 I miss him, Chris.
00:53:25 I really miss him.
00:53:28 I know.
00:53:33 Go back to sleep.
00:54:14 Maybe you could go
00:54:17 That'll be the day.
00:54:20 Why not? You're smart enough.
00:54:22 They won't let me.
00:54:25 What do you mean?
00:54:27 It's the way the people think
00:54:30 It's the way they think of me. I'm just one
00:54:34 That's not true.
00:54:36 It is.
00:54:38 No one asked me if I took the milk money.
00:54:42 I just got a three-day vacation.
00:54:49 Did you take it?
00:54:51 Yeah, I took it. You knew I took it.
00:54:55 Teddy knew I took it.
00:54:57 Everyone knew I took it.
00:55:05 Maybe I was sorry,
00:55:08 You tried to give it back?
00:55:10 Maybe, just maybe.
00:55:13 Maybe I took it to Old Lady Simons
00:55:18 But I still got a three-day vacation,
00:55:21 And maybe the next week,
00:55:24 ...had this brand new skirt on
00:55:27 Yeah, it was brown and it had dots on it.
00:55:30 Let's just say that I stole the milk money,
00:55:35 Just suppose that I told this story.
00:55:38 Me, Chris Chambers,
00:55:41 Do you think anyone
00:55:43 No.
00:55:44 You think that bitch would have tried that
00:55:48 ...from The View,
00:55:50 - No way.
00:55:53 But, with me...
00:55:59 I'm sure she had her eye on that skirt
00:56:03 Anyway, she saw her chance
00:56:06 I was the stupid one
00:56:16 I just never thought...
00:56:20 I never thought that a teacher...
00:56:25 Who gives a fuck anyway?
00:56:34 I just wish...
00:56:36 ...that I could go someplace
00:56:51 I guess I'm just a pussy.
00:56:53 No way, man.
00:57:40 The freight woke up the other guys...
00:57:42 ... and it was on the tip of my tongue
00:57:47 That was the one thing I kept to myself.
00:57:49 I've never spoken or written of it
00:58:00 How come you didn't get
00:58:03 ...Twinkies, and Pez, and root beer?
00:58:06 Sorry. I guess a more experienced shopper
00:58:12 With our stomachs rumbling,
00:58:16 The reality of Ray Brower was growing,
00:58:22 For me, the idea
00:58:24 ... was starting to become an obsession.
00:58:38 Gentlemen, the Royal.
00:58:43 God, the tracks go way out of the way.
00:58:46 We cut across this field right here,
00:58:50 I think we should stick to the tracks.
00:58:53 I say we go across the field.
00:58:55 Gordie?
00:58:57 - Yeah.
00:58:59 Take no prisoners!
00:59:04 You guys, it's a lot safer if we...
00:59:08 Come on, men. Let's take on the...
00:59:10 You don't know what's in those woods.
00:59:15 You guys, wait up for me!
00:59:25 I gotta tell you something,
00:59:28 ...that you won't tell anybody.
00:59:30 You got it, pal.
00:59:34 Eyeball, you know that Brower kid?
00:59:37 What about him?
00:59:38 I'll tell you something, but you must swear
00:59:42 ...you won't tell nobody.
00:59:43 Billy and Charlie had managed to keep
00:59:48 A personal record for both of them.
00:59:50 By noon, Ace and Eyeball had told
00:59:54 I guess for those guys, protecting their
00:59:58 Ace, maybe me and Charlie shouldn't go.
01:00:02 Maybe you could go without us?
01:00:04 You guys are acting like my grandmother
01:00:08 I don't see your problem.
01:00:09 We take a bunch of fishing gear,
01:00:12 "We're here to take a couple of steelhead
01:00:17 Come on, man, we're gonna be famous.
01:00:20 We'll be on every radio and TV show
01:00:23 I still don't think we should go.
01:00:25 Okay.
01:00:28 You've stated your position clearly.
01:00:30 Now, I'm gonna state mine.
01:00:32 Get in the fucking car. Now!
01:00:35 Let's go, man.
01:00:49 - I hate this shortcut.
01:00:55 You flinched! Two for flinching.
01:01:01 But you flinched.
01:01:03 I know. Two for flinching.
01:01:24 How are we supposed to get across this?
01:01:26 - We use you as a raft.
01:01:39 It's not that deep. We can walk across.
01:01:52 I told you we should have stuck
01:01:56 Is it me,
01:02:00 I suppose this is fun for you.
01:02:02 No, but this is.
01:02:06 Want some more?
01:02:09 - Stop it, come on!
01:02:11 This is my age.
01:02:12 I'm in the prime of my youth,
01:02:15 But you're going to be stupid
01:02:18 That's it, Chambers.
01:02:22 You die, Chambers!
01:02:28 Get him, Chambers!
01:02:30 - Vern's afraid he's gonna die!
01:02:36 Where do you think
01:02:39 Come on, you guys.
01:02:42 Pile on!
01:02:44 I don't want to do this.
01:02:48 Get off!
01:02:50 - Sleeper hold.
01:02:53 No one gets out of the sleeper hold.
01:02:55 - Vern, there's something on your neck.
01:02:59 No, there is something on your neck.
01:03:01 It's a leech. Leeches!
01:03:03 - Oh, my God!
01:03:18 Get them off!
01:03:20 Lay off me!
01:03:23 - Gordie, there's some on your back.
01:03:28 Are there any on mine?
01:03:50 Oh, shit, Chris.
01:03:54 Oh, shit, man.
01:04:17 Are you okay?
01:04:20 Can you hear me?
01:04:22 Are you there?
01:04:24 Maybe he's dead.
01:04:25 He's not dead. He's still breathing, idiot.
01:04:27 I don't know.
01:04:29 Just cool it, you guys. He just fainted.
01:04:36 I never met anybody who fainted before.
01:04:40 Maybe he made a bad mistake
01:04:43 Shut up, Teddy.
01:04:44 You okay?
01:04:47 - Yeah.
01:04:54 Maybe we should take Gordie back.
01:04:56 Great, Chambers,
01:04:59 What's your problem?
01:05:02 Are you his mother?
01:05:03 - Eat shit.
01:05:07 I think Chris is right. Let's go back.
01:05:10 What a surprise! The king of the pussies
01:05:13 - Stop calling me that.
01:05:15 - Stop it!
01:05:17 You four-eyed psycho!
01:05:19 Get off me!
01:05:21 Two for flinching.
01:05:24 You like it, Teddy?
01:05:25 - Come on, you guys. Break it up.
01:05:37 I'm not going back.
01:05:43 - Idiot.
01:05:50 At the time, I didn't know why I needed
01:05:55 Even if no one had followed me,
01:06:10 No way, Ace! Not this time, man.
01:06:13 - Go for it, Vince.
01:06:26 Oh, my God, I got him.
01:06:31 You are history. History!
01:06:33 - Fall back, Ace.
01:06:39 Jesus Christ, Ace! Fall back, man!
01:06:57 Shit, man! Shit!
01:06:59 I won.
01:07:02 You let him beat you, you cock-knocker.
01:07:14 Coming though the woods,
01:07:23 Is this the Back Harlow Road?
01:07:27 The Brower kid must be
01:07:30 Teddy and Vern
01:07:32 - We'll take the right.
01:07:47 There he is! I see him! Look!
01:07:49 Look over there! I see him!
01:07:54 None of us could breathe.
01:07:56 Somewhere under those bushes
01:08:12 The train had knocked Ray
01:08:14 ... just like it had knocked the life
01:08:17 Jesus.
01:08:20 The kid wasn't sick.
01:08:22 The kid wasn't sleeping.
01:08:25 The kid was dead.
01:08:41 Let's look for some long branches.
01:08:57 Gordie?
01:09:07 Why did you have to die?
01:09:09 What's the matter with Gordie?
01:09:11 Nothing.
01:09:12 You guys just go over there
01:09:15 Okay.
01:09:27 Why did he have to die, Chris?
01:09:30 Why did Denny have to die? Why?
01:09:35 I don't know.
01:09:38 - It should have been me.
01:09:41 - It should have been me.
01:09:45 I'm no good. My dad said it. I'm no good.
01:09:48 He doesn't know you.
01:09:51 He hates me.
01:09:52 He doesn't hate you.
01:09:55 - He hates me.
01:09:56 He just doesn't know you.
01:09:58 He hates me. My dad hates me.
01:10:02 He hates me. Oh, God.
01:10:28 You're gonna be a great writer someday.
01:10:32 You might even write about us guys,
01:10:54 I guess I'd have to be pretty hard-up?
01:10:59 Yeah.
01:11:03 What the fuck do you know about this?
01:11:06 Son of a bitch! My little brother.
01:11:12 You wasn't planning on taking
01:11:17 You get away.
01:11:18 We found him. We got dibs.
01:11:21 We better start running, Eyeball.
01:11:24 We earned him. You guys came in a car.
01:11:28 "That's not fair. He's ours."
01:11:30 Well, not anymore.
01:11:32 There are four of us, Eyeball.
01:11:35 We will. Don't you worry.
01:11:42 Vern, you little son of a whore.
01:11:44 - You was under the porch.
01:11:48 You keyhole-peeping bung.
01:11:58 You guys have two choices.
01:12:01 Either leave quietly and we take the body...
01:12:04 ...or you stay
01:12:07 And we take the body.
01:12:08 - Besides, me and Billy found him first.
01:12:12 "Billy, I wish we'd never boosted that car."
01:12:16 "Billy, I think I just turned
01:12:20 - That's it. Your ass is grass!
01:12:25 Okay, Chambers, you little faggot.
01:12:30 What do you say, kid?
01:12:33 Why don't you go home
01:12:41 You're dead.
01:12:43 Come on, let's split.
01:12:45 - They're not taking him.
01:12:47 - They're not taking him.
01:12:50 Ace, come on.
01:12:57 You're gonna have to kill me, Ace.
01:12:59 No problem.
01:13:13 You're not taking him.
01:13:18 Come on, kid, just give me the gun
01:13:23 You ain't got the sack
01:13:27 Don't move, Ace.
01:13:30 I'll kill you. I swear to God.
01:13:34 Come on, Lachance, give me the gun.
01:13:39 You must have at least some
01:13:46 Suck my fat one,
01:13:57 What are you going to do, shoot us all?
01:13:59 No, just you.
01:14:12 We're gonna get you for this.
01:14:14 Maybe you will and maybe you won't.
01:14:17 We will.
01:14:30 We're not going to forget this,
01:14:34 This is big time, baby.
01:14:52 "Suck my fat one"?
01:14:55 Whoever told you,
01:15:00 Biggest one in four counties.
01:15:19 Are we going to take him?
01:15:21 No.
01:15:24 But we came all this way?
01:15:27 We're supposed to be heroes.
01:15:30 Not this way, Teddy.
01:15:35 Chris, give me a hand.
01:15:39 Ray Brower's body was found...
01:15:41 ... but neither our gang
01:15:45 We decided that an anonymous phone call
01:15:55 We headed home. And although
01:15:59 ... we barely spoke.
01:16:04 We walked all night
01:16:07 ... a little past 5:00 on Sunday morning,
01:16:13 We'd only been gone two days,
01:16:17 ... smaller.
01:16:37 See you in school.
01:16:42 See you in Junior High.
01:16:57 Penny.
01:17:07 I better get home, before my mom
01:17:21 No hard feelings, okay?
01:17:24 No way, man.
01:17:48 As time went on we saw less and less
01:17:52 ... until eventually they became
01:17:56 It happens sometimes.
01:17:58 Friends come in and out of your life
01:18:02 I heard that Vern got married
01:18:05 ... and is now the forklift operator
01:18:09 Teddy tried to get into the Army,
01:18:13 Last I'd heard
01:18:16 ... and was now doing odd jobs
01:18:26 I'm never gonna get out of this town,
01:18:31 You can do anything you want, man.
01:18:36 Sure.
01:18:45 Give me some skin.
01:18:56 I'll see you.
01:18:57 Not if I see you first.
01:19:04 Chris did get out.
01:19:05 He enrolled in the college courses with me.
01:19:07 And although it was hard,
01:19:11 He went on to college
01:19:14 Last week,
01:19:17 Just ahead of him,
01:19:20 One of them pulled a knife.
01:19:22 Chris, who'd always made the best peace,
01:19:26 He was stabbed in the throat.
01:19:28 He died almost instantly.
01:19:49 Dad, can we go now?
01:19:51 - You ready?
01:19:58 I'll be right there.
01:20:00 He said that a half hour ago.
01:20:02 My dad's weird.
