to call a doctor and get him right over here.

You understand.

I can't leave her in this condition.

As soon as you've finished

I'd like to call a cab.

Dr. Wells? This is Donald Kohler.

It's mother again.

She's worse than before.

She can't get out of bed.

Could you come right over?

Yes.

Oh, would you?

Would you?

Thank you very much.

The doctor will be right over. If you wait a

couple of minutes I can give you a ride home.

Look. I know you have

your hands full here,

I'd just like to call a cab, okay?

- But if you wait a few minutes, the doctor...

- Look, may I please use the phone?

- Are you asking for my permission?

- Yes.

May I please use the phone?

Yes!

You may.

Hello, would please send a cab to...

Oh please, help!

Donald, come here!

Help me!

Please help me!

Help me!

Oh no!

God!

Please, God, no!

No!

Please!

You're a friend of that nut,

you tell him for me if he isn't back

here Monday, he's out of a job.

Give the guy a break. He's

been sick. He's got problems.

- Sick?

- Yeah.

- If so, how come he doesn't answer the

phone? - Didn't his mother answer?

- Nobody answers.

- Maybe he's taken her to the doctor.

Look, I don't care if they took

each other to the doctor.

He's been out a week

now and that's it.

Ben will be in the hospital

for at least a month.

You just tell him what I said.

- Can't get it started? - It just stalled

out on me. It won't do anything.

- Could I give you a lift to the next gas station?

- Oh, I'd really appreciate that.

You won't mind if I drop these

things off at my house first?

- It's on the way.

- No, that's okay.

And when I tell you not to take something

off a shelf you better listen to me.

Will that be all?

Uh, and two packs of one-twenty.

That's $4.99 out of five.

Thank you.

There you go.

- Can I help you with that package?

- No, thanks.

Can I give you a ride home?

My truck is right outside. Why don't

you let me give you a ride home?

- Would you please just get out of my way?

- It's right outside. I just could...

Is there a problem here?

No, there is no problem.

No problem.

I must have scared her, huh? I'm

going to apologize. Hey, Miss! Miss!

Mother, this is Linda.

I wanted you to meet here before

I introduced her to the others.

- Hello?

- Hey Donny.

It's Bobby.

Oh, hi Bobby.

Hi, hey listen, man,

I got a message from Vito for you.

He says if you don' show

up to work on Monday,

you're out of a job.

Hey Donny, did you hear what I said?

Okay, listen, man, all I'm trying

to do is help you out, you know,

and all you giving me is nothing,

so have a nice life, huh.

Wait a minute!

Listen to me, Bobby.

Hey, I'm in a lot of trouble.

I'm, I'm scared.

What kind of trouble?

What's the matter?

It's my mother.

She's sick,

you know, and

well I'm real worried, Bobby.

You want me to come over,

we can talk about it.

No, no, you can't

come over right now.

Father Gerritty's gonna come over

because

my mother is sick and she hasn't

been able to get to church.

Now wait a minute, Gerritty? Now what's

that old witch doctor going to do for her?

Well, he knows what to do.

- He knows.

- Okay, okay.

But now listen, gimme a call

if you need anything.

Hey, Donny,

I really hope that you get

to work on Monday, man.

Listen, Bobby,

thanks for calling me.

I think you're the only friend

I have out there.

It's all right.

I'll see you, man.

Trash!

Trash! Trash! Just like your father!

- No!

- Oh yes!

He got away, but you won't.

You'll pay, you'll suffer.

No. You'll have to suffer now.

(She's evil. She

can't hurt you now.)

(Remember, punish her.

We'll help you.)

That's right.

I have my friends with me.

If she doesn't stop it,

I'll punish her again.

You hear that, old lady?

I'll punish you again!

Did you hear me?

Did you hear what I said?

Don't you ever talk to me like that.

That's better.

Don't make me do

anything bad, Mother.

(giggling)

You laughing at me?

You think I'm crazy for talking

to my mother like that?

You're all b*tches,

selfish and vain.

Don't you dare laugh at me.

I won't stand for impudence

from any of you.

And stop trying to

scare me all the time.

It won't work.

You can't fool me.

If you promise to be good

I'll leave the lights on.

And remember,

no more laughing.

I'll get you, Donald!

I'll get you!

What are you doing here?

Donny. Donny Kohler.

I thought you told me

you'd never come back here.

Oh, you came to get holy water.

You don't have to steal it.

Doesn't it put out the flame?

The flame?

You have a problem?

Yes.

Let me help you with this.

Do you believe in the devil?

What kind of a question

is that to ask a priest?

Do you?

I believe in evil, yes,

but not in the devil.

But I've seen the devil.

No, it's in your mind, Donny.

The devil is only a symbol.

A symbol of evil.

Evil lives only if we let it.

So you don't believe that it exists?

No, it doesn't exist.

Only if you want it to.

You have all the answers.

All the things you read in books.

All the things you tell people.

Look at these symbols.

I was burned, just like in hell!

What is this?

What happened to your arms?

It was the punishment for my sins.

Who did this to you?

Tell me!

My mother.

My mother.

Help me.

You mean your mother

did this to you?

But Why?

Because I was evil.

I was born from an evil deed.

She was burning it out

of me to save me.

If I was bad,

she burned me.

If I had evil thoughts,

she would burn me.

Do you understand me?

But Donny, you must forgive those

who trespassed.

You must forgive your mother.

Donny,

I want to help you.

Do you believe me?

Yes.

Do you want my help?

Yes.

Then do as I tell you.

Put these thoughts of evil

out of your mind now.

Resist them and you'll find peace.

Don't you want that?

Yes. Yes I do.

But there are other things,

other people.

Come back to me.

Come to my office or come to

confession if you like.

You haven't been in

a while, have you?

Only come back and see me.

Mother, please forgive me.

I told the priest because

he wanted to help me.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I can change.

I want to forget our past.

I want to forgive you.

Please,

help me forgive her.

Hello?

Is Bobby there?

Bob, it's for you.

- Hello?

- Hello Bobby?

- Yeah, who's this?

- It's Donny.

Hey, Donny. This is a surprise,

what are you up to, man?

Nothing.

I'm not up to nothing.

I just thought you might want to go

to a movie or something.

Now wait a minute.

Let me get this straight,

you're sure you don't want to

stay home tonight?

Come on.

Listen, if you're really serious

about doing something tonight,

I got something we can do, man,

and it ain't no movie, you know.

Oh yeah? What?

Guess what I got lined

up for tonight.

Two.

Two live ones, man,

and let me tell you

they are dynamite.

You know what they're into?

No, what?

I can't go into detail right now but

take my word for it, they are dynamite.

Well, I thought we could
