shoot bottles...

he used to be really nice.

My God, he's such a bastard.

I think he has problems at home.

Doesn't everybody?

I don't.

What's that?

A microwave relay...

Neat, huh?

Brings us TV.

Pinky!

Oh, my God.

Quick!

Pinky! Pinky!

I gotta f***in' talk to her,

open this...

argh!

Joleen...

Joleen!

Warm.

Sh*t!

Mrs. Reed!

Mrs. Reed,

I need some ice,

the fridge shorted out again.

Mrs. Reed?

Hello?

What's the matter, 'fraidy cat?

This is only a tiny little bird.

Anybody home?

Aah!

My God, you scared me!

Is your mother home?

She's in the bathroom.

Can I sit down and wait for her?

Come on, get up that ladder!

No, I'm scared to go up high...

I get height-rophobia!

No, I don't wanna!

Come on...

you can't make me do it,

you can't make me!

Whoo! He do'd it!

Stay down.

I don't see him, where is he?

There.

It's okay now.

Oh, that was close.

Not that close.

Were you scared?

No.

You were too.

I was not scared.

Pinky, be careful.

Are you scared now?

No, get away from there.

Pinky, don't!

Scared now?

Pinky!

Pinky!

Are you scared now?

Yes, pinky, please!

That was the meanest,

dumbest, stupidest thing ever!

Hey, where you going?

Joleen...

wait, joleen!

I was only kidding!

Joleen...

hey, I thought

you'd think it was cool.

Well, I didn't.

What's the matter?

You shouldn't have done that.

It was dangerous

and it was mean.

I'm sorry.

Ah...

I guess Imng here

would drive anyone nuts.

I have a present for you.

Hold out your hand.

That was my dad's.

Pinky, you shouldn't...

you're worth it.

I know it isn't a girl thing,

but it's pretty...

Look at it.

It's very cool.

Is your dad in the army?

No, he's dead.

I'm sorry.

I gotta go.

If my dad gets back

before I do, he'll kill me.

I'm off to see the king!

Can I go, too?

Will it be fun there?

Oh yeah, you're going to

have a good time.

Do they have a TV?

Yeah, a big color set.

Can I get ice cream?

Sure, anything you want.

You just wait in here

for me, okay?

I'll be right back.

Will you keep an eye on her?

Sure.

You were supposed to be

looking after her, Amy.

I was looking after her.

Then where is she?

I don't know.

Sh*t.

Where the f*** were you?

I was at the pool.

Don't you lie to me.

You were with that boy,

Jimmy Reed?!

Agnes Reed is dead,

now she can wait!

For once in your life you're gonna

do exactly what I tell you.

You're going to

sit in this chair...

look at me.

You're not gonna wander away,

you're not gonna see anyone,

you're not even gonna

look out the window.

Is that clear?

Is that clear?!

Good.

I hate him, I hate him...

Everything is so f***ed!

I almost get raped

by a guy I trusted,

and the guy turns out to be a

killer... he killed his mother!

And dad...

I could have died

and he wouldn't have noticed.

He just doesn't

understand me at all.

Life is just totally unfair...

if it hadn't been for pinky...

he's really sweet, and he

lives out here in siberia

where I'll probably

never got to see him again...

dad won't even

let me go outside,

so I might possibly get to say

at least goodbye to him.

So, you think it was

like an accident?

Well, not unless a fan can fly.

A- ha.

I'll be damned.

Duckett, I'm gonna have to

secure this place

until our boys from the lab

can dust it.

I'm shy a few people... how'd

you like to be a deputy?

Does that mean

I'm not a suspect?

Oh, shoot.

Okay, bill.

No one gets in here without

your say-so... I'm ready.

Ha ha!

I don't know why you didn't

just bring the gas to the car.

Because I'm a fuckup, all right?

Get off my back.

It's like a furnace in here!

Lighten up, Charlie,

we're all on the same team here.

Great.

Sorry.

I just don't think this trip

with Jo was a good idea.

So are you gonna

divorce her too?

I don't think that's legal.

I'm a writer.

I'm supposed to be

so good with words...

I don't know what to

say to her anymore.

We're leaving now.

I wanted to talk to you

in person,

but my father is

holding me prisoner in here,

so I guess this note will

have to convey my appreciation

for what you did for me today.

Ugh.

Thank you for helping me today,

I know it took courage.

I like you a lot, and I know we

will see each other again one day.

Corn, ooh ooh, corn pah!

Oom, ooh ooh, ooh pah!

We're her friends

so we should know

today's her birthday

Happy Birthday, Jo!

We've got some gas

and it's time to go

let's leave this dump

before we start to glow!

It's time to go...

eew, it smells like gasoline

all over this place!

Smells like perfume to me.

Must be flooded, give it a rest.

Psst!

Hey, pinky!

Come here!

Hey!

What's up with you?

I thought you liked me.

I do like you.

So why are you leaving?

It's not my fault.

I mean, my dad,

he wouldn't even

let me say goodbye to you.

No...

what?

I won't say goodbye.

Oh, come on...

don't...

Wait, wait!

Aw, sh*t.

Jo, gimme a hand in here.

Thank you, Jesus.

Let's go,

L.A. or bust.

I can't find my journal.

It's probably in the car.

I'll take the back seat.

It's too cramped,

you'll be a mutant

by the time we

get to California.

If you guys are going to

bullshit all night, I'm leaving.

Nice language.

Jo, come on.

I'm not leaving without it.

Aah!

Amy!

Aah!

Aaah!

Daddy...

daddy.

Daddy.

Daddy.

Daddy!

It's okay, I'm here.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'm here.

Having a party, pink face?

You're in a lot of trouble,

they're looking for you.

Shh! Well, they're

not gonna find me.

I'm gone, man, I'm outta here.

They can take this town

and shove it up their asses.

I need your help.

Reach out and touch

someone else.

Listen to me...

you are sick, and you

always have been,

so don't f*** with me!

Just do what I say.

Hey, buddy,

what you got for me this time?

Fan motor to mom's

air conditioner.

She didn't get the lifetime

guarantee... can you fix it?

I don't know, I'll take a look.

Looks like there's

a screw missing.

Blades are all bent up.

Don't screw around

with that thing, pink.

Hi, can I use the

phone in the office?

You can't go in there.

It's a secured area.

Pink, turn that damn thing

back where I told ya.

Come on, it's really important.

Okay, but be quick,

and don't touch any evidence.

Thanks, I owe you one.

Keep an eye on things for a

minute, I'll be right back.

All right.

Let's go take a look

at the unit.

Where you going?

Why don't you just let me fix

the whole thing at once?

Why are you bringin' it

to me piece by bit?

This is the only part

that's broken.

You're sure?

Can't you just

fix it on your bench?

No, man,

I gotta hook it up and see

what's wrong with it.

Wait!

Aw...

you have the right to remain...

you have the right to remain

there until the sheriff comes.

You okay?

Come on.

Watch your head!

Get in there!

The kid killed his own mother!

I'm the only thing

resembling a reporter

within Miles of this place!

That's really

uncalled for, Phil.

Hunh... okay,

that's fine with me.
