Ice Cream Man Page #3

---

serve and protect my ass.

- You have to understand,

the people get pretty uptight

when there's a missing child involved.

- But I'm the ice cream man.

I make children happy.

Today you ruined the

happiness of those children

for many days to come.

Do you understand the consequences?

- You know I never thought

about it like that.

- Yeah I bet you didn't.

- You call this number tomorrow,

tell 'em what happened.

I'm sure that the city

is gonna help you.

- What about my dog?

- You know, those

daisies are magnificent,

how do you do that?

- Actually I chop up policemen

and use 'em as fertilizer,

they make great fertilizer.

- You know, there's something

weird going on here.

Get some background on that guy.

- You got a hunch?

- I might, let's put a

tail on him anyway.

- You know, I'm sure your

dog is around here somewhere.

- That's very sweet of you

Gregory, you have a happy day.

- Remember, no bad days

Gregory, only happy,

happy happy days!

- Oh no, don't don't worry,

I'm not gonna hurt you.

What do you think little boy?

- Are you having a bad day?

- Yeah, you're right.

Not every day is a happy

happy happy day.

Ice cream professor?

- Butter brickle.

- He's gotta keep quiet.

- Suffer little children,

Jesus, so wisely admonished

his disciples on the coasts

of judea, suffer not to come

onto thee, for of such

is the kingdom of heaven.

Always remember that

neither death nor power,

nor hate, nor any

creature shall be able

to separate us from the love

of god which eternally rests

in Christ, Jesus, our lord and savior.

Let us pray.

- I told the police

everything, they'll get him.

- Yeah but I'm still

grounded for a month.

- Hey don't worry, there

might be an opening

in the rocketeers.

- Hey guys, let's go.

- Small Paul's dead.

- No one else

seems to think anything's wrong.

- But how could

they let him go?

- All I know, is I'm

not letting him get us.

All the grown-ups worry

about their stupid problems.

- What we need to do,

is catch him on film.

- Since when do kids

go trailing murderers?

We're just kids we'll get

killed, just like small Paul.

- Look tuna, I know you've

been through a lot more

than we have but we

gotta do something.

- Why why is it up to us,

why can't we just stay

in our backyards and

just keep away from him.

- Because we're the rocketeers

and we stick together.

- We're doing this.

- The three of us.

- We'll need a camera, we

can take a picture of him

and give it to the police.

- Hang on I think I can get one.

- That was a bird?

- I can't do bird calls.

- But you said you could!

- But I don't wanna look stupid.

- I got news for you.

- Shut up!

- Ssshht, I can hear you guys

all the way in the backyard,

let's go!

Okay guys it's 11:45, we've

been out for 35 minutes.

- Let's take a break.

- You know, maybe the

ice cream man thinks he's

the pied Piper.

- Huh?

- Well he drives around in

his truck playing the music,

and all the kids come running.

But then if he catches

one of them alone--

- yeah well uhm, let's

not talk about right now.

- Get down!

Let's go.

- Come on tuna!

- Tuna, come on!

- Where the hell is he going?

- Ssshh!

Small Paul!

- I wanna go back, I wanna go back!

What's he doing to small Paul?

- I don't know,

i can't tell, what is it?

- It's...

It's ice cream.

- I'm fixing up a little

party for you.

Yeah you're gonna

like this one.

Looks like you got a lot of friends.

I didn't know how

much ice cream to bring,

you can pass it out later.

I'm doing really good.

Yeah, they love ice cream.

It's gonna be a good summer.

Hey would you mind your business,

I'm talking to somebody.

You guys having a party?

You having a happy, happy day?

It sure is getting noisy around here.

- Butch brickle, ice cream king.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

- 149.

- I lost track of tuna,

we'd better get back.

- You go.

- What?

- I'll be fine.

Just gimme your bike

so I can have a rocket.

- I don't think so.

- Don't worry, I'm a rocketeer.

Just make sure tuna

didn't fall or something.

Meet me back here,

all right, and hurry.

- Tuna you okay?

- No!

- What's wrong?

- My sides are killing me

and I feel like I wanna puke.

Hey where's Heather?

- I left her back at

the ice cream truck.

- Small Paul?

- Holy sh*t, the kid's got a gun!

This isn't a game boys, there's

a child stalker out there

and you two are

playing cops and robbers.

- But what about

Heather she's gonna die,

the ice cream man's got her!

- I've already called it

in, there's someone already

on the way to her house.

- Her house, she's not at her house!

- Hey!

You guys wanna end

up on the milk carton?

- I'm sorry to disturb

you reverend Langley,

but we had a report that your

daughter Heather was missing.

- No she's tucked away in

bed, has been all night.

What's the matter Charles?

- I hate to do this sir, but

could you please check on her?

- She's sleeping like a baby.

Come to church on Sunday Charles,

I'm giving a sermon on trust.

- Damn!

- The Langley girl is

fine, sleeping like a baby.

- 10-4.

- Look boys, enough of these stories.

- But--

- first the ice cream man

kills the weatherly boy,

and now the Langley girl?

I mean we've had it up to here.

- When do you want 'em?

- It says one hour.

- You could get hard

duplicates, or you could our

eight hour service for,

10, it depends on how

many exposures come out.

- I need those immediately.

- Four by six oversize, is?

14 bucks, three by five regular?

- How soon?

- One hour.

14 bucks, one day,

- Back in an hour.

The ice cream man is like

the pied Piper, only evil.

- What?

- You know he drives

around in this truck,

temping all the kids,

and they follow him.

And slowly he gets rids

of them, like rats.

- Hah, another!

- Lovely, we only need 10

dollars worth of quarters,

then we can pick up the film.

- I think we got it!

- Oh yeah!

- Johnny!

What the hell are you

doing with my camera?

Where's the film?

I'll start with you?

Where's the film?

- Oh here.

- Let's go, come on

i got it, let's go!

- Hey, get that hunk

ofjunk outta here.

Hey, hey ice cream man!

Come on let's go, I'm in a hurry here.

Go, come on this isn't a parking lot.

Hey, ice cream man!

This is not a hunk ofjunk!

- Well hello.

If I had known this was delivery day,

why that stand in would've

never made it through the door.

- I brought you something special.

- Oh, sounds yummy.

You know, we should swap recipes,

creamsicle for custard pie.

- Well I check out ice cream

man, couldn't find squat.

But that weird lady with the dog.

I remember she was just

as flipped as he was.

- You're

talking about the nurse.

- Yeah nurse wharton.

I called and checked

on her nursing license,

she had a career from 1950 to 1993.

Spent the last 20 at some

private clinic called

wishing well, for the

mentally disturbed.

- I can't believe those

little perverts,

what the hell were they
