Yeah, thats you, Arnie,

always in demand.

Stay loose.

You know it.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Lean machine.

They let you out early?

Yeah, thats right.

Lm Rudolph Junkins,

State Police, Detective.

Lm just missing a study hall.

I got to get to work.

I dont care about that.

I want to ask you about your car.

You do nice body work.

I thought this thing was totaled.

- Who told you that?

- Why, hell, everybody.

Local police, your mom and dad,

your girl. Cute girl, by the way.

It wasnt as bad as it looked.

The report said

they punched holes in the body.

Damned if I can see the fill.

You can if you look.

Its right over there...

and back here.

Lve been lucky with parts.

I replaced the entire door on this side.

- Yeah?

- See where the paint doesnt match?

Nope. A hell of a job, Arnie.

Well, thank you very much.

So what do you want?

I really like this shade of red.

Didnt think they made this anymore.

Do they still make this shade?

Well, they must.

I bought it, didnt I?

- Where?

- Baker Auto out on Route 5.

- You still got the receipt?

- Tossed it out.

You know, its funny...

Cigarette?

No, thanks.

Usually when somebody trashes a car,

we get photographs.

Wait. They didnt really trash it.

Thats not what Leigh said.

She was so shaken up,

giving me all the details...

she broke down crying.

I understand...

one of the perpetrators

defecated on the dashboard.

I wouldve thought youd

be madder than hell at that...

and I wouldve thought

you wouldve reported that.

Sh*t wipes off.

Moochie Welch

kind of got wiped off too.

I dont know.

- You dont know?

- No.

Scouts honor?

Lm not a Scout.

The kid was cut in half. They had

to scrape his legs up with a shovel.

Isnt that what youre supposed

to do with sh*t...

scrape it up with a shovel?

Dont get smart with me, son.

Your girlfriend is

more convincing than you are.

Shes not my girlfriend.

And since when is it against the law

to fix your own car...

when somebody else busts it up?

Since never.

Then you get off my back.

I need to see you.

I care about you.

Look, I love you.

I think we deserve one more try.

Dont you?

Would you give me a yes or no!

Please dont do this to me.

Just be straight with me.

Youve had it, right?

Well, f*** you, b*tch!

Want to do the honors?

Ld love to bring her along.

- She can earn her way.

- Bullshit.

I got a girl named Bony Moronie

Oughta see her rock and roll

Not very fat

Just skin and bone

I love her and she loves me

Makin love

Well, I told her mama

and her papa too

- Whats goin on?

- You tell me.

- Where were you last night?

- Home.

- What are you doing to my car?

- You didnt go out at all?

Of course I went out. I got Darnells

car out front with a load of parts.

- You want the receipt?

- Yeah.

How come youre showing up just now?

Why didnt you unload

the stuff last night?

Because I was tired, thats why.

If you dont believe me,

you can ask my mother.

Why do you keep

butting into my life?

Because we found your boss,

Will Darnell, dead in your front seat...

with a shotgun by his side.

- Why?

- I was hoping you could answer that.

Somebody saw your car cruising

behind Buddy Repperton last night.

Hes dead too.

So are Don Vandenberg

and Richard Trelawney.

Guess nobodyll be trashing

your car anymore.

Well, all I know...

I got a Cadillac full of parts...

and lm supposed to be

at school in half an hour.

Well take care of the Caddy.

I dont want you touching it.

Honest, I dont know whats going on.

I swear I dont.

May I please speak to Dennis?

Its a girl.

Happy New Year.

Can I come over there?

I need to talk to you.

- What, about Arnie?

- About Christine.

You first.

Lm afraid for Arnie.

I thought you wanted to talk

about Christine.

What do you know about that car?

I know that the guy

who owned the car before Arnie...

Yeah?

His daughter choked to death

in Christine.

How do you know that?

LeBays brother sold Arnie the car,

and the guys a jerk.

- He just came out and told me.

- I think I was supposed to be next.

Come on.

Arnie would never do that.

Not in a million years.

I dont think hes Arnie.

Its that car.

I swear its the car.

Maybe.

Lm going to Arnies tonight

for New Years...

- I wouldnt.

- Its okay.

We do it every year.

His folks are going to be there.

Maybe if I get him alone,

maybe hell talk to me.

What if he doesnt?

- What do you mean?

- I dont know.

What if that car doesnt let him?

Then we destroy it.

Well, come on
