4 - Cubby Stubble
{ Sixteen Years Earlier }
"Get out of my way! Get out of my way!" Raymond screamed as he ran down the hall of his parents home, pushing his older brother Robert out of the way.
"Watch it big nose!" screamed Robert as he collided into a row of plants.
Ray barely heard him as he reached his brother's bathroom. "Shaving cream. Ineedshavingcream!" Ray said frantically as he dove into Robert's medicine cabinet throwing things left and right over his shoulder.
Robert walked into the bathroom and saw the spectacle before him. "What the hell do you think your doing cubby!" he yelled.
"No time for cubby business! I need shaving cream," Ray hollered. He turned and grabbed his brothers shoulders and began to shake him furiously. "Tell me you have shaving cream, man!"
Robert looked at him as though he were crazy. Bending down, he grabbed a bottle of shaving cream Ray had thrown on the floor. "Calm down turbo. It's right here. What's with you?" Robert asked.
"Thank God!" Ray shouted as he snatched the shaving cream from Roberts hands.
"Oh I know what this is about. Cubby has his first date with the naked girl tonight!" Robert said with a devilish smile. He was referring to the fact that Ray had already seen Debra in the nude accidently on their first encounter.
"Hey shut up. Don't call her that Ass face, her name is Debra. You are not allowed to call her 'naked girl' In fact you aren't allowed to call her anything."
"Do you want me to let you use my shaving cream or not?" Robert said as he snatched the shaving cream back from Ray.
"Okay fine man you can call her Debra," Ray relented, snagging the shaving cream back.
"What are you so nervous about man. From what I've heard you've already seen this girl naked and you've gotten tongue. You're in man!"
"Okay first of all you are one sick man. 'Tongue'? What are you, 15? Second, how the hell did you find out about that?"
"Your friends Bernie and Gianni, man. Their mouths are as wide as the hole in their head," quipped Robert.
Ray shook his head, appalled. "They told you?"
"Yes they did. But Ray I have to say I'm a little hurt you didn't tell me on your own. We are brothers after all. Ya' know what though, this Debra she is really pretty. You think you can take it, Raymond? Its different with pretty girls... you don't want to mess it up by acting like an idiot on the first date, tongue or no tongue, its a tough world out there," Robert said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, hoping to get a reaction.
"Okay I'd love to stay and have this mind numbingly retarded discussion but unlike you, I have a date. So why don't you go down stairs and settle in to your night of snuggling on the couch watching Remington Steele with mom," Ray said as he pushed Robert out of the way and walked through the door firmly gripping the can of shaving cream.
He had a date with the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen and he wasn't going to let Robert or any of the rest of his family stop him from having a great night.
