The War | 1994

Hey, asshole!

Stuart!

Hey! That's enough. That's enough now, both of you!

Just quit it.

You all right, son?

Tell your sister I'll be gunning for her.

Yeah, all right, Lester.

Yeah, gunning for her in a donut shop, moron!

You'll see, Simmons. I'm gonna kick your ass, too!

What was that all about?

Stuart, I turned my back for just a second, and you're in the middle of a fight.

Who is that boy?

His name's Lester Lucket.

He's the reason Lidia got stuck in summer school.

She hit him in the tooth with a rock...

...and he told the principal she'd been cheating off his papers.

She hit him in the mouth with a rock?

Oh, yeah.

He's always calling her names.

So, last year she vowed to knock every tooth in his head out.

I'm gonna have to talk to her.

She got a good start.

She doing anything else I should know about?

Yeah, she's doing a lot of things...

...but I don't think you should know about them.

I didn't bring you down here to referee a boxing match, Stuart.

I brought you down here to tell you about something I've been putting off.

You know how all this time I been out looking for work?

Yeah.

Something about that ain't entirely accurate.

The truth of the matter is, I been in a...

I've been in a hospital.

For what?

It has to do with me being in the war.

I went...

I went nuts for a little while.

And the doctors called it posttraumatic stress.
