Cruel Summer Page #3

you, that Danny Evans is gonna

get his f***ing head kicked

in, so I hope you're happy.

- [Lisa] Please,

just delete my number,

and never speak to me again.

- Oh, you f***ing...

- Don't know about that.

- Oi, bus ain't gonna be here

for another half an hour.

I'll be over there.

- Alright, we'll crack on.

- How'd you do this?

- You didn't do it f***ing

beginner, that's why.

Why'd you choose f***ing hard?

- This is sh*t.

- I'm perfect, me.

- Girls like this.

- You look like such a

f***ing knob. (giggles)

- Yeah, you can't even do it.

- F*** off.

- I'm beating you.

- F*** off.

Mate, I'm beating you.

- I'm beating you.

(gun fires)

- I won that, I swear.

F***ing play something

else, play something else!

Where's the bag?

(glass clinks)

We got a half-hour,

what do you wanna play?

- Where's Nick?

- He's gone over there.

(gun fires)

- Boom, f*** off.

- That was fun, that.

(phone rings)

- Hello?

- Hi, Mom.

- Hello, lovely, how are you

holding up?

- Good.

- I got your picture.

I showed it to Dad, too.

Hang on,

he wants to talk to you.

- Hi, son.

How's that fishing rod

holding up?

You caught anything?

- [Danny] No.

- Well, if you do

catch anything,

remember to save some

for your mom and dad.

- No, I'll put it back.

It's catch-and-release

here, I'll get into trouble.

- [Mr. Evans] Ah, you'd have

been alright.

- [Danny] I don't want to

disrupt the fragile ecosystem.

- (chuckles) "Ecosystem."

You're funny.

So, what's next on the agenda?

You gonna go hunt some deer?

- (chuckles) No.

I'm going to build a

fire and have some food,

and then I'll go in the tent

and read.

- Oh, good.

You take care of yourself.

We're very proud of ya.

Hang on, your mom wants to talk.

- What time do you want us

to come and get you tomorrow?

- [Danny] I'll be packed

and ready at 11AM.

- Okay, where are you?

- [Danny] At the car park

near Dad's fishing spot.

- Right.

Well, you look after

yourself out there tonight,

and if you have any

problems, you call me, okay?

- [Danny] Yeah.

Mm, yeah.

- [Julia] What do you think

of this place so far, then?

- [Calvin] Yeah, it's alright.

Doesn't look like I'm gonna

get stabbed on this bus anyway.

- What're we gonna do

about this prick, then?

We need to get organized.

- I don't know, trash some

of his sh*t or something?

- Trash his sh*t?

Are you f***ing kidding

me, how old are you?

- [Calvin] I don't know,

this was your idea.

- And what about you?

- I don't know, f*** him up, I

suppose.

Look, we have to find him first.

- Yeah and we will find him.

- And if we don't?

- Well, f***ing hell.

We'll just get him on

another day, won't we?

- So we're just gonna run up

to this guy with no excuse?

- No excuse?

Hey, no excuse?

Are you forgetting why we're

doing this whole f***ing thing?

I wouldn't be surprised if we

turn up there he's got another

kid with him and then

what're you gonna do, eh?

- If there's some dodgy sh*t,

then of course I'll do something

about it.

- What do you reckon, Jules?

I reckon Calvin here is a

little p*ssy.

- Yeah, I think he might be.

- Where's all this come from,

bro?

I don't even know what

the plan is.

- The plan's simple.

We're gonna make sure that

kid don't leave that place.

- He's serious about this,

ain't he?

Look, Julia, I don't

really want to do this.

- Look, we do whatever he wants.

Come on.

(moody atmospheric music)

- I'm not stopping to

roll another spliff, mate.

- F***ing proper creepy,

look at that.

- You don't need to be

scared about them there.

- No?

- Everything is dead.

It's the alive you've got to

be worried about, trust me.

- Why's that?

- Why?

- Yeah.

- Imagine a ghost trying to

attack you.

Just give him a straight

uppercut to the jaw.

- Do you believe in ghosts?

F***, I do.

It scares the sh*t out of me.

Huh?

Yeah, mate, there is, I'm

telling ya.

Are you coming?

- F***ing hell, bro,

chill with that.

- You need to relax, you.

- So what do you do

around here anyway?

- Get stoned, get pissed,

whatever.

- People come here to

f*** as well.

- What, f*** on a

dirty forest floor?

- Right little b*tch, you,

aren't ya?

- Not really, bro, just

wouldn't want to get my clothes

muddy and f*** on a

forest floor.

- Julia's been banged enough

times around here, haven't ya?

- Shut up.

- Give her a spliff and liters

of cider

and she's f***ing anyone's.

- (chuckles) Funny, ain't ya?

- So is this where that girl

got raped?

- You what?

- You know, that girl that

Danny raped or whatever.

Was it here?

- Yeah, yeah, somewhere

around here, I think, yeah.

It's hangin', ain't it?

But don't worry, he's not gonna

get a chance to do it again.

(moody atmospheric music)

Right, well he's not here.

- Well where is this guy?

- F*** knows.

- Oh, this is f***ing pointless,

man.

We're not gonna find him.

- Right, listen.

We'll go down the lake, if

he's not there, we'll go home.

How's that?

- Can we not just chill

for a bit and have a beer?

- Look, where are you going?

- F***ing hell, for a

piss, if that's alright.

- What did you mean earlier on

the bus?

About Danny not leaving this

place.

- Exactly what it sounded like.

Why?

Not backing out like Calvin,

are ya?

- No, I'm not, but Calvin's

gonna realize you've been

lying about Danny being a

pedo and you're gonna look--

- Listen, I'm not being made

to look

like a d*ckhead by nobody.

Retard or not, alright?

So f*** Calvin and f*** you.

- F*** sake.

(moody atmospheric music)

- Right, come then, let's go

and check this f***ing lake.

- Alright, if he's not there,

we're going back then, yeah?

- Oh, yeah.

- You alright?

- Mm.

- [Julia] This was a

waste of time, wasn't it?

- Hang on, who's that?

- Oh f*** knows, bro, that

could be anyone, that.

- I think that might be him,

you know.

- Yeah?

Come on then, let's find out.

Here, let's hide these first.

We don't wanna scare him too

soon, do we?

Have a bit of fun first, eh?

Alright, Danny boy?

It's alright, chill out.

Nice little spot you got here,

Dan.

- It's not too shabby, Danny,

it's nice and clean in there.

- Oi, (claps) where's your

manners?

Get up and offer the lady a

seat.

- Cheers, Danny love.

- Do you remember Julia from

your school?

Hey, year above ya?

- Mm, no.

- No?

- No.

- So...

Why'd you have to come here of

all places?

- I'm due my

Duke of Edinburgh Award.

- The what?

- Julia, go and get us a beer.

Cheers.

Oh, f***ing hell, that's warm.

(coughs)

Hangin'.

Do you want a drink?

- No.

- You sure?

It's supposed to be good for the

nerves.

- No, thank you.

- [Calvin] What's wrong

with him?

- A lot.

(sighs)

I've been looking for you, Dan.

- Yeah?

- Been wanting to talk to ya.

- Yeah.

- Do you know a girl called

Lisa Mitchell?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I thought you did.

How do you know her?

- Lisa's my friend.

- Yeah, yeah, so I heard.

- Yeah.

- It's just, eh, I used

to go out with Lisa.
