Reach.

Anybody moves, you're dead.

All right, now,

we're all gonna play a game.

I'm sure you all know it.

It's called Simon Says.

And this here is Simon.

ARTHUR:
Open the safe.

KATE:
Simon says,

"Everybody down on the floor."

(CAR HORN HONKING)

MAN:
Hey!

(GLASS SHATTERING)

(CAR HORN HONKING)

(PEOPLE SHOUTING)

Look, buddy...

(TIRES SCREECHING)

KATE:
Come on, hurry up, baby.

All right.

Simon says that you,

you, you, and you stand up.

Now, come on, Simon says,

"Get up as fast as you can."

Come on, come on.

Reach!

All right, now, you.

You two fat ladies, you come here.

You come here and this nice

little boy's gonna hug you.

All right, now, you two fat ladies,

come forward, Simon says.

Come on. Turn around, back up.

You back up with me now.

Everyone on the floor,

Simon says you count to 100 slowly,

or Simon might get awful mad.

Now, come on, ladies, back up.

Come on, fast. Let's go, fast.

Go, come on. Baby, let's go.

(ALARM RINGING)

ALL:
Six, seven, eight,

nine, 10, 11, 12,

13, 14...

(GUNS FIRING)

It looks like those policemen

don't think that we mean business.

Well, we just gotta show them we do.

Sweethearts, it looks like

they just don't care a damn about you.

Well, I'm gonna have to

show them they better!

Let go, you b*tch, let go!

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

KATE:
Let go, you silly b*tch!

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

They're gone! We did it!

We did it, boys, we did it!

KATE:
Yeah!

(ALL WHOOPING)

- LLOYD:
There you go!

- We're gonna get those boys out!

We did it! We did it!

(ALL CHEERING)

Now, ladies, there's nothing here for you

to be bashful about.

My boys is farm boys.

They're used to seeing

pigs puckering around in the mud.

Come on, you give me that there!

All right. Now, boys, you see anything

here at all that shames you?

But Ma, you sure didn't

pick any pretty ones, that's for sure.

Now, Lloyd, I wouldn't

mind a piece of that plump little pink 'un.

KATE:
Now, you just stop that.

You just stop that there talking dirty.

And come on, come on, get in the car.

Come on!

I ain't exactly gonna

curl up and die if I don't get her.

Come on, get, get, get.

Ladies, I want you

to understand something.

We is not sex preverts, you understand?

I undressed you 'cause I don't want you

running around

too fast looking for help.

Come on, kids, let's go!

We've got to lose them! Let's go!

KA TE:
It was God's will.

Ifhe didn't want us

to have that there money,

he wouldn't have left

it for us in that bank.

And I got my boys

out ofjail and back together again.

Freddie brought his new friend

Kevin Dirkman along,

but Herman brought

that there Mona Gibson.

It's just plain nasty,

taking that gal with us.

Nasty and sort of sick,

and it's just plain ungodly.

FRED:
Mona's all right, Ma.

No, she ain't. She ain't country folk.

She ain't Ozark.

Neither is Kevin, Ma.

That's right, Ma. Neither am l.

As a matter of fact,

you know, the only thing I am

is about the 1907 Mumbly Peg

champion of Cairo, lllinois.

Well, you're different.

You're a friend of Freddie.

Freddie likes you, and I'm aiming

to pleasure myself with you.

Ma don't wear no painting pencils.

You wanna lay her

in the backseat of the car?

Be my guest, baby.

You getting ready for me, ain't you, Mona?

You want it again?

Now, what would your Ma say, tiger?

She'd say it's a long way to Memphis.

She'd say a hell of a lot more than that!

Do I get it or not?

MONA:
Ask big brother Herman.

Herman, look, do I get her or don't I?

Now you do.

But when I marry Mona,

and I'm gonna marry her,

nobody touches her.

Do you understand?

Help her over.

My pleasure.

Mona, don't you feel like a silly ass?

MONA:
You mean, like,

who do I gotta screw

to get out of this happy, happy time?

Like Ma says, another day, another dollar.

Mona, do you really love Herman?

That's funny.

Who do you think I'm doing this for, then?

For what, Mona?

Well, it gives me

a sense of belonging, wise guy.

Even Ma's hating.

Even with Ma hating me, see,

see, that's more than I ever had before.

I love you, Arthur.

I love you, I love you. I love you!

Sweet damn!

HERMAN:
Now, the idea of the game

is we play 5 bucks a stick.

Throw the knife,

keep moving your foot out,

the first man to fall is the loser.

I move it to where you stick it?

You know, sort of like that.

Move it to there.

- All right.

- Good.

- Ten bucks a stick.

- What, are you out of your skull?

Come on, 10 bucks a stick.

You know, Alice Joyce

has one blue eye and one brown eye.

Yeah, so what?

So, Rene Adore is cross-eyed.

HERMAN:
Yeah, so what?

And Pearl White has really big feet.

I mean, you can see it.

What, are you crazy?

Oh, she's very beautiful.

See, like, you gotta have something ugly

about you to be really beautiful.

I mean, like, to attract the fans,

don't you know?

Herman, what do I got that's ugly?

Mona, you are a true beauty.

You do not need anything ugly at all.

I mean, some little flaw

to make you really beautiful.

So, b*tch.

When's Ma coming back?

I'm fixing up the biggest

goddamn deal in the business.

Come on, doper, move out of the way.

Clara Bow. She's not even pretty at all.

Some of the things she says

are really dirty.

Thank you, my friends.

You know what's ugly about you, Mona?

Is your fat ass, your bow legs,

and your goddamn fat lip!

(EXCLAIMING)

Hi, there, honey doll.

(GIGGLING)

- You nuts or something?

- Why?

You got your shoes on.

(GIGGLING)

- And where'd you come from?

- I swam.

Clear across the lake.

I'm gonna swim back.

Oh, I bet you could swim

the English Channel.

I bet I could.

My name is Rembrandt.

Rembrandt? Oh, boy.

That's my first name.

- Oh.

- I'm very artistic.

Jesus, lover of my soul.

Hey, why have you got

your feet in the water?

I mean, with your shoes on.

I guess I'm just artistic.

(GIGGLING)

Go on.

Is...

Is this your first summer at Bearskin Lake?

Huh?

Hey, why don't you give me

a little kiss, huh?

- No.

- Oh...

No! I think you're out of your mind.

- Come on.

- No, no, I wouldn't.

(GIGGLING)

Stop!

You must be drunk.

Oh, no. No, ma'am, no. No, I'm high.

I'm high. Yeah.

I take lots of dope.

- Oh, come on.

- Nope.

And I'd love to love you up...

If I can make it.

I think you're crazy.

No, I like it.

I really like it, even if I can't make it.

Sometimes I can make it,

sometimes I can't, honey-honey.

You know.

I mean, shove a lot of stuff in your arm,

well, it makes you just

want someone you can just

be loving around, that's all.

You know, you don't need

to hit the jackpot every time.

Why don't you just... You just let me...

You just let me go now, okay?

You let go, please.

Would you please just let me go, huh?

Oh, no, no. No.

Don't you see? Everything frightens me.

I see a doll cross the street,

I cross the street.

I'm gonna have to go now.

You don't understand?

I'm not people, see?

None of us Barkers is people.

Oh, I shouldn't have told you
