Page 1 of 2 Evelyn [realizing Rusty is having a nervous breakdown on the phone]
What? Rusty? Ah, shit! [hangs up the phone and leaves the auto garage] It's Rusty.
Diana Rocky, let me feel you.[senses Rocky's face]
My mom always told me I was a lion in my past life, but I did not completely leave my old body for this one!
Diana Rocky? That is an unusual name.
Actually, my true name is Roy. Rocky is just a nickname my mother gave me.
Diana How did she decide on that?
Easy. From the song. Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetops! She said it would not sleep unless I did a lot of rocking!
Rocky, you mom sometimes does the wrong things, but for the right reasons.
You always stick up to her, Gar, and then she pisses you off, and you split. Then you come back.
[smashing some plates]
I hate you going out every night and coming home wasted all the time!
It's none of your goddamn business!
You're my mother!
Well, you're not my warden!
Grandma! Grandpa! How are you?
Abe Dennis
Doing great Rocky. [Checks out Rocky's baseball card collection of the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers] Your team is good, but I have always said the backbone of a good team is a...center fielder! [presents Rocky with the rare baseball card he had been searching a long time for]
Hey! Thanks so much!
What's his problem, mom?
Nothing. He just another asshole. You let that negative dreck in and it'll put you away. You can be a chicken shit and die or be a mensch and keep makin' yourself well.
Amusement park. Rocky and his biker family want to go on the bumper cars.
Carnie
I cannot be responsible for anything that happens to the ****.
[grabs the carnie]
Then I cannot be responsible for anything I do to you! [the carnie freezes] Take the tickets.
[after an unpleasant visit from her parents, Rusty is about to take a lot of drugs] [gets a beer from the fridge]
If you get wasted off this crap, I'm not gonna sit here and babysit.
Must be.
[looks at the drugs in her hand and sighs sadly]
You know, this just isn't going to work. You're telling me to do things and I'm just gonna end up hating you.
Oh, come on, baby. You and your old man have been going throught this shit forever. Got to you again, didn't he? Got you ready for another one of those 2-hour screamers. Gets you to the place where I'm gonna through the goddamn wall
[snaps back]
Well, go ahead. Then put me through the goddamn wall. Why should you be different than any other guy I've ever been with.
[Gar clonks the beer bottle down on the table and leaves her]
Eric
[after Rocky gave an impressive speech on how the Trojan War started]
That wasn't bad, Dennis. How about you tutor me?
Tutor you?
Eric
Yeah, Cooley almost failed me last year.
OK, but it will cost you three bucks an hour.
Eric
[surprised]
Three bucks?
[The classroom falls silent and looks back at the two because of the sudden outburst]
Hey, I don't work for free.
Eric
[kinda tense]
It's a deal.
[asked about where is Rocky's true father]
Why do you try and call the Pope while you're at it? At least he would be easier to reach.
[her final line, after finding out that Rocky has passed away in his sleep]
Now you can go anywhere you want, baby.
[Poem]
These things are good: ice cream and cake, a ride on a Harley, seeing monkeys on a tree, the rain on my tongue, and the sun shining on my face. These things are a drag: dust on my hair, holes in my shoes, no money in my pocket, and the sun shining on my face.
