See you downstairs.

( Laura gasping )

- ( Gasping continues ) - Jesus

Christ, Laura, are you okay?

What's going on?

What's wrong with her?

- I'm...

- I think she's having a panic attack.

- Can you pull over?

- Are you all right, Laura?

- Laura?

- Um...

- Okay...

- Breathe.

I... I... need to go

to church anyways,

so, let's just stop

and have a breather, okay?

I never thought

I'd say yes to church,

but, why the hell not?

- Okay, great.

- Just breathe.

( Music playing in church )

Okay, yeah.

This'll calm you down

a little bit.

- Come on.

- Okay. Okay.

( Music continues )

hallelujah

we got the good lord,

hallelujah...

- praise the baby Jesus!

- don't let the devil in my

don't let the devil

in my house.

Preacher:

Yeah, yeah! Yeah, the lord!

The lord sends fire

from the gates of hell

to rain down

on those demon worshipers!

Those Satan worshipers

corrupting this world.

But darkness, she's still...

The devil is in that man!

Damn son of a b*tch, serpent

worshiping, kiss my ass, Sally!

Won't even fix your own

kid's teeth!

Up yours!

Up yours! Up yours,

stupid b*tch!

- ( Barking )

- The devil.

- The devil is in that man.

- I'm not sorry!

- ( Barking continues )

- The devil is in that man!

Smite that devil.

( Screams )

Holy f***ing Christ.

That wasn't...

What was that?

Oh, god, you can't

call that chr... Christian.

( Sobbing )

How can someone mistake me

as being possessed by the devil?

Stup... stup... stupid b*tch!

( Grunts )

I... I'm such a normal,

ordinary guy.

( All laughing )

Oh, frank.

( Laughing continues )

They had snakes in that church.

- ( Laughs )

- Snakes.

( Music playing over car radio )

What the hell?

Now, Puggis, don't get upset.

What the f*** happened

to my tractor?

Now... it... it was

an accident.

- And, um...

- It was Vinnie, wasn't it?

Motherfuckin' little sh*t!

It was not Vinnie.

It... it was frank.

You see, he sleepwalks,

and he acci...

Well, he drove your tractor.

Yeah, well,

I'll teach that bastard.

He'd better not touch my things

because somebody's

gonna pay for this!

- Puggis, don't you dare!

- Accident, my ass.

Puggis, don't... don't...

( Sighs )

Here we are.

Here we are.

Kim:

I'll get our stuff.

I'll help you out.

Okay.

I'll wait here.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

You go and have a good time.

( Sighs )

I couldn't afford...

I couldn't afford

to buy you anything.

So, I knitted this for you.

I hope you like it.

( Sniffs )

It's alpaca.

- Happy birthday, Stace.

- ( Sniffs )

Hmm.

( Clicking )

Maybe you should go

check up on them.

Laura:
Am I ever gonna

get to live my life

without always

worrying about you?

Frank:
You don't have

to worry about me.

Laura:
God, why did you

take the rope, frank?

Frank:

You sleepwalk now, too?

Laura, ( Clears throat )

I... I just want you

to know that...

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm... I'm here for you

whenever you might need me.

Thank you.

I am glad and I will

need you.

( Sighs )

Hey, how do you suppose

that mom knew

I needed to come here?

Why would I want to visit

the grave of my best friend

right when I was about

to lose her?

Ah, I... I...

I don't know.

Closure I guess.

Stacy was wild crazy.

She loved life so much

she sometimes

took it too far.

I'd gotten over her death

by focusing

only on all the things

that I didn't like about her.

Maybe your mom...

Didn't want you

to get over her that way.

Maybe she wanted you

to remember the best of her.

I think we're gonna be okay,

frank.

Yeah, we're...

We're gonna be just fine.

I don't want you fraternizing

with that devil man again!

I almost lost you to the devil,

and thankfully

he only scarred you

with them demon choppers!

You understand me?

Now, I want your face

in that Bible!

I want the baby Jesus spirit

to flow all over you

and heal you, son!

Now, stay down there!

Yeah. Come on.

Yeah!

( Screams )

Yeah! Corinthians said,

"you live by faith

not by words."

Yeah...

Oh, no.

No, no, no.

You need to Polish

the baby Jesus.

Polish the baby Jesus.

You... you want me to read

or do you want me to Polish...

Don't back talk me, boy!

You Polish the baby Jesus.

Okay, okay.

Retard touched my sh*t.

( Mumbling )

retard son of a b*tch.

( Music playing over car radio )

Well...

I guess I'm not gonna

need that anymore.

- ( Laughs )

- Oh, come on, frank.

You don't wanna waste

a perfectly good name tag.

( Screams )

Oh, that devil of a man.

He needs to feel

the wrath of god.

Yeah!

( Rattling noise )

( Music continues )

( Rattling continues )

Flossie:

Let me out.

Let me out of here!

( Chuckles )

'Bout f***in' time.

( Crow cawing )

( Shot rings out )

Frank! Frank!

( Sound of muffled

elevated heartbeat )

Laura:

Frank!

- Sh*t.

- Oh, no.

( Muffled )

Frank? Frank?

Frank!

Oh, my god, frank!

( Voices echoing )

Frank, don't you dare

leave me behind.

Don't you dare.

Puggis, put the gun down!

Be smart!

Wait a minute, son!

Look!

The gun ain't even loaded.

What the?

- ( Muffled heartbeat )

- ( Groaning )

( Sobbing )

Frank?

Come on, frank!

Frank!

( Beating stops )

( Music playing )

I never knew hate

not like today

with yellow red sparks

I never knew

how to grasp...

whoa, hang on.

Are you family?

Yeah, I'm the only family

he's got.

Oh, okay.

Sorry, go ahead.

( Music continues )

( Sobbing )

Can you hear me, frank?

I need you, frank.

I've always needed you.

Please.

( Gasping )

Can you, um...

Hey.

Didn't I tell you?

I'm not going anywhere.

While this sad priest

is counting grievances

for me

and I'm

I'm so scared...

frank:

Laura did go to college.

She even graduated with honors.

I was there.

Yep.

Third row on the isle.

( Barking ) Stupid b*tch!

Sorry.

Make you custard

with yellow red sparks

make you custard

with yellow red sparks

another war won

we are young

might as well have some fun

stressed, stressed

to be blessed

if heaven is rest

then I'll be its best

while this sad priest

is counting grievances

for me

and I'm

well, I'm not scared

for the first time

but I'll never know why

we're all so weak

but they can't stop

our yellow red sparks

no, they can't stop

our yellow red sparks

and I can't be anything

but yours.

( music playing )

Here we go.

I might pick the better side

of frustration

go to other parties

on the lower side

of damnation

how many other ones

I want around

I might look you

straight in the eyes

with everything in me

yeah, whoa-oh

I can't deny

there's a darkness

I withhold my prints

of wax

my best friend

I can't deny

when my best friend

grabs and holds

hold on

oh!

I can't deny

there's this darkness

I withhold my prints

of wax

my best friend
