Chapter 5: The Boulders Part 1
Vinny and the others arrive at the Boulders. Elliot opens the door and greets them.
"Charlie was asking when you were going to get here." Elliot told them.
"That was nice of him." Vinny said to him.
"Vinny and Jake the guys are in the basement and the kids are outside. Where's Lorraine?" Elliot asked Vinny.
"She's at the Baker cabin with Sarah. She wants to look nice for you." Vinny told him.
"She's already here?" Elliot asked him.
"I just said that Elliot pay attention. Andwipe that drool off your chin. It's only Sarah." Vinny said to him.
"I guess we'll be outside." Danny said to Vinny.
"That's what Elliot just said." Vinny replied.
Danny, Kate, Derek, Marie and David go outside. Vinny stops Matt before he can get to the door.
"I need you to do me a favor." Vinny said to him.
"What is it?" Matt then asked him.
"I want you to keep an eye on Kate and Derek." Vinny told him.
"Kate, will kill me if I do that." Matt replied.
"I'll owe you big time if you do this for me. You just name it and you got it." Vinny said to him.
"I want to go to a White Soxs game." Matt said to him.
"Done." Vinny said to him.
"Behind the vistors dugout." Matt then said to him.
"You got it." Vinny then told him.
"When they play the Cubs." Matt then told him.
"The Cubs? I can't get tickets to that game. How about when the Royals come to town? No one goes to those games." Vinny explained.
"It's the Cubs or no deal." Matt told him.
"Fine the Cubs. And your mother said you're nothing like me." Vinny said to him.
"How am I like you?" Matt asked him.
"First of all everyone on my side of the family says you look just like me when I was growing up. And when you make a deal with someone it's either you get what you want or no deal, just like me." Vinny explained.
Matt and Vinny shake hands. Matt goes outside to spy on Derek and Kate.
Vinny, Jake and Elliot go to the basement where all the guys are. They walk in. Bud sees Vinny and hides his cell phone in his pocket.
"Bud were you just talking business on your cell phone?" Vinny asked him.
"No." Bud replied.
"Mr. McNulty are you still there? Mr. McNulty?" A voice from Bud's cell phone said.
"Give me the phone Bud." Vinny said to him.
Bud hands Vinny his cell phone.
"Hello, who's this? Steve Ripken. Well Steve, do you know who this is? No it's not Mr. McNulty's assistant. Try again. No, Steve it's not Henry Gaden. I'll let take one more guess. Goddamn it Steve! It's not Justin Furken. That's correct it's Mr. DiMiranda. What gave me away? The cursing, that always gives me away. Anyway, Mr. McNulty is on vacation so, stop calling him. He called you? Next time he calls you, you call me. That's great. Take care now. Bye." Vinny said as he hung up Bud's cell phone.
He hands it back to Bud. Bud puts it in his pocket. It starts to ring.
"Don't answer it." Vinny said to him.
Bud has to restrain himself from answering it.
"Vinny, you need to lay off Bud." Charlie said to him.
"Who says?" Vinny asked him.
"My sister Nora." Charlie then replied.
"Good point. I'll ease off Bud. Until, I catch him on that cell phone again." Vinny said to him.
"Dude, just leave him alone." Jake said to Vinny.
"Fine. I'll leave Bud alone for tonight." Vinny told him.
"For the rest of the vacation." Jake said to him.
"All right. For the rest of the vacation." Vinny said to him.
Bud then takes out his cell phone and sees who called him. He walks out of the basement to call that person. Vinny just shakes his head and laughs.
"Why do you pick on Bud all the time?" Charlie asked him.
"It's a compliment." Vinny replied.
"Dude, how is getting on his case all the time a compliment?" Jake asked him.
"It means that I like him. If I didn't like him, I wouldn't made him the Head of HQ in Houston. And I wouldn't care if he talked on his cell phone all vacation." Vinny explained.
"Why do you care if he talks on his cell phone all vacation?" Elliot asked him.
"He works his ass off all year. He deserves to take a break." Vinny told him.
"So, that does that mean you like me and Sarah because you always get on our cases about stuff?" Jake then asked him.
"No, I just like messing with you guys." Vinny told him.
"That's not cool Dude." Jake then said to him.
"I'm kidding. Of course I like you guys. Otherwise I would of moved as soon as Sarah moved next door. Your family is like my extended family." Vinny told him.
"I think of you as part of my family. Not extended but, an actually part of my family." Jake said to him.
"You can't be part of my real family." Vinny told him.
"Why not?" Charlie then asked him.
"You guys aren't Italian." Vinny explained to them.
"And we aren't psycho nut cases like your family." Jake then said to him.
"I don't know Sarah comes close to it but, like I said before she's not Italian." Vinny said to them again.
They hear the doorbell ring. Elliot goes to get it. He answers the door and it's Lorraine and Sarah. Elliot just stares at Sarah.
"Aren't you going to invite us in?" Lorraine asked him.
"Huh? Oh yeah, come on in." Elliot said to them.
Lorraine and Sarah walk in.
"You look nice Elliot." Sarah said to him.
"And you look, wow! You look amazing." Elliot said to her.
"Thank you." Sarah said to him.
"Ann and Nora are in the living room." Elliot told them.
Lorraine and Sarah go to walk into the livingroom.
"Wait, Sarah." Elliot said to her.
"Sarah he wants to talk to you alone." Lorraine said to her.
"I know. Now, could you please leave me and him alone?" Sarah then asked her.
"Whatever. I'll go see Nora and Ann." Lorraine said to her as she went into the livingroom.
"What is it?" Sarah asked Ellliot.
"You look beautiful." Elliot said to her.
"Thanks. You look handsome." Sarah said to him.
Elliot kisses Sarah on the lips. Andrew sees this and goes back outside. He slams the back door as he goes back outside.
