Beasts Of The Southern Wild Page #3

You can no longer live here.

I repeat,

this is a mandatory evacuation area.

When you're small,

you gotta fix what you can.

Goddamn!

What the hell wrong with you?

What you doing?

- What you gonna do now, huh?

- Grr!

Oh, you want to throw things, huh?

All right, I can do that too.

Come on, then.

You want to play the game?

Come on, let's throw stuff. Come on!

I can do that too! So come on.

You want to throw stuff? Come on!

Come on. Aah!

Come on!

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Aagh!

Gotcha. Come on, come on!

Aagh! Gotcha. Come on! Come on!

Come on.

Uh...

Man, you think I don't know.

You think I can't see?

No crying.

No crying, man! Hey!

Goddamn it, I said no crying!

Come on, get a drink.

This counts as I'm sorry

for a whole bunch of things, Lord.

You gonna be dead?

No.

You gonna leave me alone?

No, I ain't gonna leave you alone.

Because if you be gone, I be gone too.

No, that's not how it work.

Sometimes in the bed...

...I start to shake and I can't stop.

I got what you got.

No, that's just a side effect

of you being a stupid little girl.

I ain't gonna be dead?

No, you'll probably live

a hundred years more.

Come on, let me see them guns.

Come on. Show me them guns.

Let me see them.

Come on, show them to me.

Show them to me.

Show me them guns!

Show them to me! Guns!

Guns! Guns! Guns!

Gun! Guns! Come on. Come on.

Come on!

Come on! Let me have it!

You the man! Who the man?

- I'm the man.

- Yeah, you the man!

- Who the man?

- I'm the man!

- You the man! Who the man?

- I'm the man.

- I'm the man! I'm the man!

- Yeah, you the man! F*** this table. Sh*t!

I got to go lay down.

I got to get strong.

Don't be scared.

What?

Come on.

Lay down.

- Hey.

- Yeah?

You ain't the one that's sick.

Strong animals got no mercy.

They're the type of animals...

...that eat their own mamas and daddies.

Think someone is in there? I don't know.

This is a freaking shack.

Go check around the back.

There's no one in there.

Look at this place.

- Will you please open the door?

- Get back.

This is a mandatory evacuation area.

Everyone in this region has to leave.

We ain't going nowhere!

Sir, we have food and shelter.

- Kick it in.

- Go around the back.

Let's go. Get in there.

Just remain calm.

Son, you want me to cancel

your birth certificate?

- Grab her arm!

- Son of a b*tch!

- Get your hands off of me!

- Hold her down. Hold her down!

- Stay down, sir.

- Stay down!

- Let her go! I'm gonna kill you!

- You have her?

Let her go!

- Keep still.

- Let her go!

It didn't look like a prison.

It looked more like a fish tank

with no water.

They said that we were here

for our own good.

You're supposed to hear me!

I want an answer!

I don't have an answer.

The doctor is gonna have to give you that.

Don't eat that, hear?

Mr. Doucet, can I have a word with you?

We found something in your test.

- It's urgent...

- Whoa, whoa. Not in front of my kid.

Stay there, Hushpuppy.

- The procedure is...

- I said not in front of my kid.

The procedure is very risky.

There's really no way to guarantee

it will be successful.

In case anything happens...

- Get your hands off me.

- If we don't do this, you could die.

- I tell you! I don't need nothing from you!

- Hey, stop it!

- Mr. Doucet, calm down!

- Stop it! Come here.

I tell you! I tell you!

You don't tell me!

- Calm down!

- Let me go! Get your hands off me!

I don't need nothing from y'all.

Let me go!

Wink!

- Leave her alone!

- Let go of me!

Stop it!

Get off of me!

Daddy!

You're gonna have time-out.

Are you even listening to me?

When an animal gets sick here...

...they plug it into the wall.

They're coming for you.

Daddy used to say that

if he ever got so old...

...he couldn't drink beer

and catch catfish...

...then I had to put him in the boat

and set him on fire...

...so no one could come plug him

into the wall.

Dave.

Dave, help me out. Help me out.

Boss.

Get up. We busting out of here.

Come on.

Wait, there's a person out there.

Here you go.

Hey! Go home!

Come on, let's go! Everybody get out!

Wait, wait, wait.

Let's go! Let's go!

- Make sure you put her somewhere good.

- Let me out of here! No! No!

Let me go!

- Let me off!

- Get off me!

You're trying to get rid of me!

You're trying to get rid of me!

Listen to me.

I'm not trying to get rid of you.

- Yes, you is.

- You don't understand!

I can't take care of you no more,

you understand?

I'm dying!

My blood is eating itself.

You know what that mean?

Don't be saying things about dying.

- Everybody daddies die.

- Not my daddy.

Yeah, your daddy.

I didn't want you to watch that, okay?

You understand?

Come on, let's go!

Let's get out of here!

Let's get out of here! Come on!

Come on, let's go!

Wait, wait, wait.

- Back up, back up.

- Girls, get back.

- Dad! Come on! Come on!

- Give him room to breathe.

Walrus, get me home.

Everybody loses the thing

that made them.

It's even how

it's supposed to be in nature.

The brave men stay and watch it happen.

They don't run.

Come on!

I'm going by my mom.

That's a good place to go.

Which way are we going?

It don't matter, baby.

This boat will take you

exactly where you need to be.

It's that kind of boat.

Want a chicken biscuit?

They're good for you.

I've been eating these all my life.

I keep the wrappers in the boat

because they remind me of who I was...

...when I ate each one.

The smell makes me feel cohesive.

I want to be cohesive.

I'm sure you will, baby.

No doubt in my mind.

Oh, hi.

Sergeant Major, how are you doing?

Hey, Miss Frankie.

Holy crap. You have toddlers.

- A whole litter of them.

- Oh, they are so cute.

They're so cute.

Hey, baby.

I'd work for you

I'd even slave for you

I'd be a beggar or a knave for you

And if that isn't love

It'll have to do

Until the real thing comes along

You need something, baby?

Well, what you want? You alone?

That's it?

Get in here.

Let me show you a magic trick.

Let me tell you something.

When you're a child,

people say that life...

...is gonna be happy

and hunky-dory and all that bullshit...

...but I'm here to tell you that it's not, so

you need to get that out your head right now.

Because, yeah, life is some big old feast,

but you...

...ain't nothing

but a stupid little waitress.

One day, everything on your plate

gonna fall on the floor.

And nobody gonna be there

to pick it up for you.

One day, it's gonna be all on you.

You understand what I'm saying?

So smile, girl.

Smile.

Because nobody like

a pity-party-having-ass woman.

The gator is magic.

Oh. Mm-hm.

You can take care of me.

Me and Daddy.

Don't know nothing about your daddy.

I can't take care of nobody but myself.

And if that isn't love

It'll have to do

You can stay if you want.

Until the real thing comes along

I'd gladly move

This is my favorite thing.

To prove my love, dear, and its worth

I know.

If that isn't love,

It'll have to do

I can count all the times I've been lifted.
