Hey.

They're coming.

Billy, we don't care.

You'll all be sorry

when it's too late.

Is he gonna do it or not?

Billy, if you don't hurry, I'm gonna tell

mom and dad you've been skipping school.

Spread 'em out.

Let's see 'em.

Brunettes, 20, blondes, 30.

Yeah.

Billy, I'll give you 40.

Forty cents?

Fifty.

Oh, I got the good one.

- She's got the full dress on.

- Wait, let me see it. Looking up...

No, no, no.

That's, like, all of mine.

- I saw it first.

- Come on. I paid good money...

Give me that.

Yeah.

Bup, bup, bup.

Pay up.

All right.

Okay. This is all I have.

Come on.

Anyone want this one?

- Mark! -Yes.

- Double-sided.

Billy! School!

Now!

336, 337,

338, 339. It's your play. Oh.

- 340.

- Debbie!

Take that.

- Four feet. 345, 346.

- Walk like a normal girl!

Forty-six.

Do what feels right to you,

and you can't go wrong.

What happens if you reach 5,000?

I don't know.

Something horrible.

You sure?

Look, baby.

Lot of friends for you

to play with round here.

Right?

Yeah.

This is it.

Welcome to the middle class, mama.

Thank you.

Oh.

Hmm?

Top of the morning!

Top of the morning.

You the, uh, carpet cleaner?

We're moving into

the West Virginia, sir.

Well, if you need help

carrying anything,

Mowbray's elevator operator

will help you out...

If you give him something.

I got all the manpower I need

right here.

Hmm.

I'm gonna go start

unloading the truck.

You wanna help dad?

That's how they watch us.

Time for school.

Your friends are leaving.

Go on.

- Wait for me!

- 348, 349, 350.

She looks more like

her mother every day.

- Your turn.

- Six, seven, eight. One...

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Fight like a champ.

One, two, three, four. Fight like a champ.

That's it, that's it.

All right, okay.

We'd better go help mommy

before she sees us.

No reason to be scared of some

old ladies, champ. Come on.

Let go, let go.

Come on.

Stay away from the Mowbray twins.

They prefer to be left alone.

How old are you?

Five.

What are you gonna be

when you grow up?

Mom says I'll be in college.

This is Troy.

We call him champ because he's going

to be the next champion of the world.

What about that, uh,

Floyd Patterson?

I'm more a Cassius Clay

kind of type.

You better move your truck. It's wrong

to park so close to the bus stop.

- Understand.

- What did we do wrong?

It's all right, champ.

Let's go help mama unpack.

That's right, six seasons.

And here's where the fun begins.

Do yourself a favor.

You have to breathe

free and easy.

Some people like to tell you

to nap because they're so chic,

and most people like six-feet-long

because it gives them a sense they seek

and the world-famous

complete opening.

That's right, and nearly everyone likes

this world-famous weather with the top...

Why are you not at work?

Why are you not in school?

I asked you first.

Each player gets two

completely different mazes.

The first one to get through the maze

with all three balls lights up the tower!

Chocolate cookie, sir?

Why do you think

I only want chocolate?

- You only eat vanilla?

- No.

Right, so why do you ask?

The girl who sells the most

gets a blue ribbon.

2,010, 2,011, 2,012, 2,013...

2,014, 2015,

16, 17, 18, 2,019, 2,020.

2,021, 2,022, 2,023, 2,024,

2,025, 2,026.

Hi, Debbie.

Why didn't you ring the bell?

The music was too loud.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Do you want to come

to my birthday?

I wouldn't miss it

for the world.

Oh, my.

Did you make this yourself?

It's beautiful.

All right.

Come walk me to my car.

What is...

Your biggest wish this year?

Oh, honey. Hey.

Maybe she'll come this year.

You never know, right?

What if she

doesn't recognize me?

Oh!

Who can forget a face like this?

Ooh, I have an idea.

Hold this.

Like that.

Oh, look at that smile.

Oh.

It's perfect.

Blackbirds, blackbirds,

sitting on a wire.

What do you do there?

May we inquire?

We just sit to see the day.

Then we flock and fly away.

By one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight,

nine, ten, eleven...

We can't come

to your birthday party.

Why not?

My parents said your mother's

in hell for what she did.

She didn't do anything.

They say that your grandparents are

lying to get the insurance money.

Do you want to jump with us?

I can't.

I have to save...

I have to save

enough steps for later.

- Blackbirds, blackbirds, sitting on a wire...

- Hey, kitty.

Tonight the night

you're gonna be my girlfriend?

I am a taken woman.

- You should find a man to take care of you.

- I can't get a man.

I'm always gonna earn

more than him.

It's not easy getting a job

these days.

- Dinner then?

- Uh...

I'm working the night shift,

and she's going out.

All right.

Bye, Sam.

Bye, guys.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Four, five, six, seven...

Billy, lend me a cigarette.

One? Fifteen cents.

I'll pay you back tomorrow.

Twenty cents.

- Fine. At the end of the

week, you get 20. -Okay.

I didn't think a kid

from Mowbray would need money.

I'm preparing

for when they come.

Hmm?

It ain't gonna happen here.

Too many people.

When... if it happens,

if they come,

it'll be at some far away,

remote place.

I've seen a UFO.

Are you telling the truth or lying?

Shh.

Truth.

They come when it's a full moon,

and when they land, all

the trees cry with blood.

I saw one with my son

back home in Mxico.

How old is your son?

Like you.

Can I play with him?

No.

Why not?

He's in Mxico.

You left him?

Come here.

Pick a card, any card.

Don't show me.

- Got it?

- Yeah.

Okay, put it back.

That's it.

No.

No, really, that's it.

No, it's not.

I was kidding.

That's it, hmm?

No.

Okay, go play.

2,630, 2,631,

2,632...

2,641, 2,642,

2,643.

2,644.

Simon says,

"jump up on the box!"

I'm ready.

Are you ready?

Want me to do?

Ready?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Simon says,

"jump and spin off the box."

Touch your nose.

Simon says, "touch your nose."

Simon says,

"spin around."

Stop. Stop.

Simon says, "keep turning around.

Keep turning around."

Stop. Good.

Simon says, "stop."

Simon says,

"give your Dolly a kiss."

Simon says, "rub

your belly." Ooh!

Champ, hand me that blanket.

Champ.

Simon says, "pick up

the blanket for daddy."

- Put it in the chair. -Simon

says, "put it on the"...

Archibald Smith, your father,

says, "put it on the chair."

Daddy. Good.

- You got to say, "Simon says." Right?

- Mm-hmm.

Champ, why should I kneel down

because Simon says "kneel down"?

I don't know why you gotta be so harsh.

It's just a game.

Come.

I got this, mama.

It's kitchen stuff.

Oh, right.

You wouldn't want me seeing stuff

I'm not supposed to see, right?

Simon says, "go help your daddy

with the mattresses," babe.

Come here.

Don't give up your power to

no man, whatever his name is.

If you show weakness,

people will walk all over you.

Smithism.

2,688.

2,689.

2,690.

3,205, 3,206, 3,207.

3,208.

Buick is going home.

Must be dinnertime.
