| Plot: | Fifteen-year-old Howie loses just about everything and everyone in the space of a single week, but ends up finding himself in the process. His mother has just died. His father, a building contractor, can barely keep tabs on his young girlfriend, let alone his own son. Thusly, the teen must navigate his adolescence virtually unsupervised. Floating towards an ill-behaved existence, Howie and his crowd begin robbing houses in the middle-class neighborhoods off the Long Island Expressway. Together, he and his best friend Gary break into a place belonging to an old guy named Big John, a local man who is a respected pillar of the community. When Big John fingers Gary for the crime, Howie learns that his pal has been leading a secret, dangerous but also alluring double life. Subsequently, we also discover that Big John has secrets of his own. |

Goofs

Continuity: Howie doesn't have the earring in his cartilage during the fight with Marty and Kevin. Continuity: The soap when Big John shaves Howie. Crew: When Big John is slowly pulling his car alongside Howie (just before Howie accepts the offer of getting to drive the car), a crew member is seen on the right pushing the car. Continuity: The second black eye that Howie receives disappears and reappears from shot to shot. It is absent in the scene in which Howie and Big John shave; however, it is present in several scenes beforehand and afterward. Continuity: In the shots of Big John leaving after dropping Howie off at the prison, there is a steady rain (noticible by raindrops in the puddles). However, in shots of Howie, it does not appear to be raining and the ground is even dry in places. Continuity: When Marty parks his car to confront Howie and Gary in the parking lot, he obviously parks it in a vacant lot (no other cars are around). However, when he returns to his car a few moments later, several cars have now appeared in the parking lot although there hasn't been time for them to arrive and park. Continuity: When Howie visits his Dad in jail, he can't even wear his earrings into the visit area. But when his Dad comes out to see him, his Dad is clearly wearing his wedding ring (and that would not be allowed in the jail anyway). |

Howie: On the Long Island Expressway there are lanes going east, lanes going west, and lanes going straight to hell. Gary: I don't have a father. I have an asshole. Howie's friend: Howie, if you do stuff with guys, that's gay stuff. If you do stuff with girls, that's straight stuff. Gary: I think he's trying to say it's not politically correct to fuck your sister. Kevin Cole: We're not even old enough to *vote*, so that's a stupid joke Blitzer. [Laying on the ground as a woman passes by] Kevin Cole: Her dress is so short, you can see her clint. Brian: What? Kevin Cole: Her clint, it's in her pussy. Howie: You mean "clit." Kevin Cole: Fuck you, I mean like... clintasaurus. Howie: It's clitoris, you fuckin' idiot. Kevin Cole: It's a CLINT. Brian: Yeah, like you can see Clint Eastwood in her pussy. [Flipping through a magazine] Kevin Cole: Hey-hey, it's Captain Kirk. Ever see that old Star Trek show where there's a bad Captain Kirk and a good one? And Spock, and Dr. Phones... Brian: You mean "Bones"? Kevin Cole: What? It's Phones McCoy. Brian: "Bones" is a nickname for doctor, idiot. Kevin Cole: No, it's like get the doctor on the phone, like house calls. Brian: It's BONES. Kevin Cole: It's Phones. Counselor: Just so you know, I know you're different, okay. Howie: Different ? Counselor: You're not a nerd, you're not a jock, you're not a scholar or a romeo. Howie: Or a gangsta. Counselor: Or a clown. Howie: So what am I then ? Counselor: You are a Howie Blitzer. Howie: My own category, wow. Big John: And if I was a spy, what would you think of me then ? Howie: Well, I'd think that you are just like James Bond except James Bond doesn't go around blowing boys. Gary: I don't like that kid. He smiles too much. Big John Harrigan: [on women] They're professional ball busters, and you know it. Big John Harrigan: [Talking with Howie about Gary] You must be the only guy on Long Island who hasn't fucked him. Such a slut. The only thing that hasn't been used on him is his brain. |
