Fear Page #2

How come

you're not dancing?

Well, because

nobody's asked me.

Oh.

[Young Man]

Come on!

[Angry Shouting]

[Screaming, Shouting]

Hey, come on.

Let's get outta here.

[Angry Shouting,

Screaming]

- [Shouting, Screaming]

- % % % % [Continues]

- [Girl Screams]

- Logan!

Logan, come on!

- [Panting]

- Are you all right?

Yeah. How we

gonna get down?

I'll figure

somethin' out.

[Car Alarm Blaring]

Hold on.

[Panting]

Come on.

[Helicopter Approaching

Overhead]

Come on.

I promise. It'll be okay.

It's safe. Come on.

- [People Shouting]

- [Margo Squealing]

Margo!

I'll see ya later!

Come on!

Go ahead.

Just let go.

It's safe. Come on.

[Screams]

[Engine Stopping,

Parking Brake Creaking]

Isn't this the car they stopped

making 'cause it, I don't know,

blows up or something?

I guess that's why

I got her.

I saw her sittin' there all alone,

cold in the junkyard.

You know, it's not her fault

they didn't put her together right.

You just said that

like you really meant it.

I did.

[Sighs]

I stayed with my real mom

in L.A. After my dad moved up here.

I was nine years old.

It was just the two of us,

all alone in this big house.

She was so sad most of the time

that I felt like I was the one

taking care of her.

Must've been tough.

Yeah.

How 'bout your dad?

You get along with him okay?

I don't know. I only moved

up here about a year ago.

It's not like we even know

each other that well.

- Yeah.

- Hmm.

How 'bout you?

You have parents?

[Both Chuckle]

- I mean, that you see and stuff.

- Yeah.

They're back East,

but I talk to them all the time.

Are they still together?

They're weird, though.

I mean, they're totally cool,

totally together.

It's just that they've

never had a disagreement

about anything more serious...

than whether it's gonna be

mashed or Stove-Top, or tea or coffee.

- [Giggles]

- Kinda crazy.

- What?

- Nothing.

That was not "nothing" going on

behind those beautiful eyes of yours.

Tell me.

I was just thinking that,

you're not at all what I expected

you to be the first time I saw you.

How so?

I don't know.

You're just...

You're sweet.

What? You're the one

that's hiding something.

It's just that I was taught that if

something seems too good to be true,

then it probably isn't.

Yeah.

So far what I know about you

is you're beautiful...

and incredibly perceptive.

I just need to know like one flaw

so I can believe the rest.

- Got a week?

- Hmm. I got all the time in the world.

Oh. David.

I gotta go.

My curfew's at midnight.

All the time in the world.

David.

I'm sorry.

I guess

you found my flaw.

That's not a flaw.

That's one more perfect thing

for me to admire.

And respect.

And wait for.

The least you could have done

was call, Nicole.

I was sitting here for two hours

imagining God knows what.

Laura, I can't help it

if my watch broke.

I mean, how would I even notice unless

I was staring at it every second.

Go to bed, Nicole.

We'll deal with this tomorrow.

- Laura...

- I'm angry, Nicole. Just go to bed.

And take off your makeup.

You look like a slut.

[Scoffs]

- Mr. Walker.

- Larry.

So, 2:
00 a.m.

Am I missin' somethin'?

Come on, Nicky.

Help me out.

Your were kidnapped

by aliens.

They tried to take you to

their planet, but you escaped

and hitchhiked back from Pluto.

- So who's this guy you were with?

- Just a guy.

- Is he a good guy?

- He's good to his car.

You'd appreciate that.

Well, that's a start.

Maybe I should meet him.

I just met him. I don't know if

I'm gonna see him again.

Oh.

So?

Right.

All right, here's the deal.

Kitchen duty and yard work

for two weeks. No exceptions.

And no subcontracting out

to Tobias.

- Is that fair?

- Do I have a choice?

- No.

- I guess it's fair.

And... I want you

to apologize to Laura.

Yeah. I'll apologize to her when she

apologizes to me for calling me a slut.

You were too easy on her.

She should have been grounded.

[Steve]

She knows she screwed up.

It's all easy fixes

with you, Steve.

You give her whatever she wants,

like you're forever trying

to make it up to her.

[Spits]

Please, Laura.

It's gonna blow up

in your face, Steve.

Everybody needs rules. She'd

respect you more if you laid it

out and played it straight.

Straight, huh? Is that why

you called her a slut?

I said she looked like

a slut.

She had about two gallons of makeup on.

That's exactly what she looked like.

Shitty choice of words,

don't you think?

[Sighs]

Maybe.

[No Audible Dialogue]

Love and hate

Get it wrong

Just cut me right back

down to size

Sleep through the day

Let it fade

Who was there

to take your place

No one knows

Never will

Mostly me

but mostly you

Do you say

Do you do

When it all comes down

'Cause I don't wanna come back

down from this cloud

It's taken me

all this time

To find out what I need

Yeah

I don't wanna come back down

from this cloud

It's taken me all this

all this time

You know, every part

of you tastes so good.

- Nicole?

- Yeah?

I wanna meet

your family.

- Really?

- Yeah. Will that be okay?

Yeah.

Dad, meet David McCall.

Mr. Walker.

Pleasure to meet you, sir.

Same here, David.

Hey, Toby, right?

What's up, big guy?

This must be

the savage beast Kaiser.

- [Whining]

- Aah.

- That means he likes ya.

Yeah? Tell him

the feeling is mutual.

You know, you look bigger

than your sister described.

Or maybe you just grew

since yesterday. Which one?

So, David, you're not

in school with Nicole, are you?

Um, no, sir.

But maybe U-Doub in the fall.

I'm just kinda explorin'

my options, I guess.

Nicole, remember you gotta help me

plant these trees before you leave.

But I gotta get changed.

Well, you knew it was

one of your chores.

Excuse me.

It's Laura, right?

Hi, I'm David. L...

I don't wanna interfere, but it so

happens I work summers in a nursery.

- I'd be happy to give you a hand.

- Can I help too?

I couldn't do it

without you, partner.

Okay. Come on.

Grab the big one.

The main thing is the moisture content

of the soil when you first plant it.

These guys' roots are really sensitive

for about ten days.

Well, you certainly learned

a lot during your summer, didn't you?

[David] Is there someplace

I can get cleaned up?

[Laura]

I don't know. Hard-earned dirt under

a man's fingernails can be attractive.

[David]

Maybe I shouldn't wash.

- [Laura] It's in there, on your left.

- Thanks.

Oh, excuse me, Mr. Walker.

I was looking for the bathroom.

Uh, it's right in there.

- I'm not disturbing you, am I?

- No, no. Go ahead.

Thank you.

Did David come in here?

- I'll be right out.

- [Steve] Margo.

Come on in.

Tell me about life.

[Chuckles]

Mr. Walker, I'm sure you know

a lot more about life than I do.

I wouldn't be so sure.

I get surprised at least once a day.

- That's the fun part, though,

isn't it, Mr. Walker?

- Depends, David.

Kinda cuts both ways.

You just never know.

- Two minutes.

- [Laura]

Those trash bags have to go out.
