Fear Page #3

- You're not gettin' out of that.

- [Nicole] All right.

You should come with us

to the Orbit. It'd be fun.

[Chuckles]

- Nicole! Get me a Coke.

- Yeah?

Okay, I'll be right there.

Come on, Steve.

You could play pinball.

You could ride

the bumper cars.

You could do that thing where

you throw the ball at something...

- [Unzipping Boot]

- And maybe win me a stuffed animal.

Or you could

just walk around,

eating cotton candy,

checking everybody out.

[Footsteps Approaching]

Hey, thank you.

You almost ready?

- Mm-hmm.

- I wanna get there before dark.

- We still gotta pick Logan up.

Hurry, okay?

- Okay. Let me grab my jacket.

[David]

Okay.

David.

Nicole's curfew is 12:00,

not five after, all right?

All right.

- [Phone Beeping]

- Hello.

Yeah, Eddie.

Pleasure to meet you,

Mr. Walker. Take care.

No, I'm finishing them up

right now.

I'm gonna drop 'em off

at FedEx myself.

- [Sighs]

- I'm not gonna miss it. It'll get there.

- [Laura] Nicole!

- All right, Eddie. I'll see ya.

[Phone Beeps]

[Laura]

Nicole!

- [Car Engine Starting]

- You let her leave?

- Steven.

- Why don't you get

your helpmate to do it?

- [Phone Beeping]

- What, Eddie?

[Guitar]

Childhood living

Is easy to do

The things

that you wanted

I bought them for you

Graceless lady

You know who I am

You know I can't let you

Just slide

through my hands

And wild horses

Couldn't drag me away

Wild horses

Couldn't drag me away

Faith has been broken

And tears must be cried

Let's do some living

Oh, after we die

Wild horses

Couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses

Couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses

We'll ride them someday

[Screaming]

Eddie, I'm sealin' the envelope,

I'm out the door.

What are you talkin' about?

The last pickup's not until 7:00.

I still got

half an hour. What?

Sh*t!

[Man] There you go, kid.

Take your best shot.

Bull's-eye will get you

anything on the wall.

- We got a winner.

- [David] I'll take that peace pipe.

[Man #2]

You look like a basketball player.

Take a shot.

I screwed up. I gotta

go back up to Vancouver.

Bye-bye.

I want you to come with me.

We could stay

in that same hotel.

Maybe even get

that same suite.

[Laura] The number

of the hotel is by the phone.

So just rent some videos, call Domino's,

and try not to kill each other.

- I'll try and restrain myself.

- I'll sic Kaiser on you.

- Ooh-whoo.

- Ooh, I'm shaking.

Try and have a nice time, Nic.

Life is short.

Nobody in the house

but you and Toby.

- I hear you, Dad.

- Smile?

- [Phone Ringing]

- Hello.

- David?

- Nicole, how are you?

- I'm good. Listen.

David, my parents went out

of town for a couple of days,

and I'm all alone

in my room.

- Nicole.

- Yes, David?

- I promised some friends I'd help

'em out with somethin' tonight.

- Oh.

- Um, okay. Whatever.

- But, Nicole.

- Yeah?

- I could come by afterwards.

- Would that be okay?

- Sure.

If it gets too late,

I might be in bed.

Okay? So just punch 1-4-3-2 into

the keypad and just come on in.

I'll be waiting.

[Beeping]

[Electric Lock Buzzes]

[Lock Beeps]

[Whispering]

Hey.

David.

Nicole.

I love you.

[Panting]

Please don't tell Margo.

Not that it's a secret or anything.

I just...

I don't know, it...

Are we talkin'

the "L" word here?

I don't know.

[Chuckles]

Whatever it is,

I definitely never felt it before.

Prince Charming

must be late.

- Do you want me to wait?

- No, that's all right. He'll be here.

David, what the hell

are you doing? Stop it!

[Gary Grunting]

Stop it!

Stop it!

[Panting]

- [Sobbing]

- What? Come on.

Go away!

Get away from me!

[Sobbing]

Just leave us alone.

[Crying]

- Oh, my God. Oh, my...

- [Knock At Door]

- Who is it?

- [Laura] Can I come in?

- Um...

- I, uh...

I thought of you when I saw

this in the hotel gift shop.

Oh, Nicole,

what happened?

I was in gym class. We were

playing volleyball, and I caught

an elbow right in the eye.

Oh. Well...

Let's see

what we can do.

- Those are pretty shoes.

- Thank you.

Hey there. Doesn't your daughter look

exceptionally pretty today?

- Uh-huh.

- [Clears Throat]

Oh, hey, yeah.

You look lovely, Nic.

Thanks, Dad.

I gotta go.

Can I get a kiss?

[Chuckles]

- Bye, Dad.

- Bye, Nic.

Thanks, Laura.

- What was that about?

- Woman stuff.

She got a black eye in gym class,

so I gave her a makeup lesson.

So she wouldn't

look like a slut.

[Nicole]

Hey.

Talk to Travis Bickle yet?

I don't think I ever

wanna see him again.

[Nicole]

Are you okay?

[Gary]

Did you see the look in his eye?

I can't get it out of my head.

Gave me goddamn nightmares.

I'm sorry, Gary.

[Nicole]

I'm just so incredibly confused.

[Class Bell Ringing]

Hey, I'm a murderous

murder man

Comin' from a bad land

Real hard-core

Kickin' down

your front door

Let me get

what's comin' to me

'Cause if I can't use my mind

I'm gonna grab the...

[Rap Song Continues,

Lyrics Indistinct]

Uh, we're here to see

a man about a dog.

- Does this look like a kennel?

- I, uh... W-We...

Woof, woof, woof.

[Rock Music Plays]

All right, wait in here.

But don't be fooled. He's on red alert.

[Indistinct Talking,

Billiard Balls Clattering]

They're interested

in the dog.

Go tell David

we have to leave soon.

- [Rock Music Continues]

- [Boy On TV] Holy smoke, Beaver!

- [Knock At Door]

- Hey, man.

What the hell

you doin' in here?

- Not now, Knobby.

- Logan says we gotta leave soon.

Tell Logan I'm not goin'.

Oh, yeah? Well, he's gonna be pissed,

man. You've been bailin' a lot.

When his old man

gets back into town,

we're all gonna be

out on our ass.

You better start

thinkin' about that.

You're welcome.

Hey, Nicole.

You got a fan.

Thanks.

Never mind.

[Nicole Crying]

Steve, let me go?

Were the flowers

from him?

Yeah.

It's just like him,

you know?

He's always so polite

and considerate.

He never has to show off

the way other guys do.

Then all of a sudden

he turns into a monster.

I mean, Gary was down

on the ground, and David...

just kept on kicking him

and kicking him so hard!

Did he give you

the black eye too?

Did he?

Dad, I told you

how I got the black eye.

[Sobbing]

Steven, why don't you

let us finish up here?

Toss me the Kleenex?

[Nicole Sobs]

Nicole, I want you to understand

that whatever you think I may

have done to disappoint you...

is no reason for you

to go screw up your whole life.

What?

Dad, I don't know what

you're talking about.

That's what worries me.

Look, Dad, this may come

as a big shock to you,

but every move I make

does not have to do with you.

- Turns out I'm living my own life.

- Not yet you're not.

As long as you're living in my house,

you'll follow my rules.

That means when you wanna

go out, I wanna know where

you're going and with who.

- And if I don't like it,

you're not going.

- Don't be ridiculous, Dad.

- I'm not kidding, Nicole.

This is gonna stop!

- What?

Why don't you just say it?
