but after that night, everything

just started falling into place.

The Oakland A's made it to the Series,

and we sat glued to the set for all seven games.

- Okay Okay Let me...

I'm gonna let you

in on a little secret: My tongue grows.

So from time to time

I have to nip a little off

like this

Ah Blech!

There

That's much better, don't you think?

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Hey, Dexter

You like television?

Dad always went all out for Halloween.

But later that night,

he went too far.

Come on, Jackie. Open the door.

What are you tryin'to tell me?

You're too old to run around in a costume?

- How do you think that makes me feel?

- So don't wear one then

- No one's making you

- I like wearing one.

- Well, good

- Jackie, come on. It's Halloween.

You can wear a costume

and still be dignified. Look at me.

- Trick or treat

- Trick or treat

All right, Mr Adult The candy cauldron's

right here by the door

If you run out, there's more

in the cupboard by the fridge

If you run out of that,

there's always the change jar

Okay, Charles Let's go and leave

your brother to reflect on his lost childhood

Here you go

Hold that bag

Come on now

Do not fall

- My little brother's a clown

- Where is he?

How'd I do?

Wow Huh?

Not a bad haul, considering I had to lug

your brother halfway around the neighborhood

- Dad

- Jackie, where would Dexter get a Nazi uniform?

- Norman gave it to him

- He probably was dressed as a bus driver

- Yeah, but, Dad, he went like this

- Don't do that in this house

What are we gonna do about it?

That's Mrs Sampson

Dad

How you doin', Norman?

What? Are you out

trick-or-treatin'?

No. I'm taking this opportunity

to collect contributions...

for state assembly

candidate Elder Maclntyre.

Mr Maclntyre is

a former law enforcement officer

I know who he is

Because

I grew up on this street

- Excuse me?

- When I was a kid, you didn't see them around.

- They kept their distance.

- "They"?

The n*ggers and theJews

Ohh. 'They. '

Mr Maclntyre can help us

but he needs our help

- Anything you could spare

would be greatly appreciated

Halloween is my favorite holiday

I love seein' their costumes

- What did you go as?

- A bunny

Well, all right

Excuse me, sir

- Mrs Sampson

- Hi, Jackie

Hi, Mrs. Sampson.

As one white man

to another

I moved across the street

from a goddamned nazi

Oh, my God!

"N*ggers and Jews"

Excuse me, Mrs Sampson

- You're notJewish, are you?

- No I'm a Jehovah's Witness

- Sorry about this, Mrs Sampson

- Don't worry, honey.

Nothing you can do about it

Elder Maclntyre

Milltown...

Dad showed Invasion of the Body

Snatchers that night, his favorite movie.

He said it was really about all the stupid people

who worried that Communists...

were gonna

take over the country.

And all the towns around us It's a

malignant disease spreading through the country

I don't wanna alarm you

but check out

what this movie is really about.

Pods from outer space?

Some small town

called Santa Rita?

This is your town

He was drunk, not pretending.

I could tell by his half-closed eyes

and the slow way he moved.

Look again at that man across the street,

watering his lawn

- Go to two

- Two's off the set.

Or that woman

climbing out of her Pontiac

Carrying her grocery bags

- How big is that nose?

- Dad, don't do this

Who are these people moving in?

N*ggers?

Jews? Commie bastards?

Sh*t

You turn around,

and one day, there they are

If you don't wanna

think about it, don't...

but if you're smart...

- Oh, my God

- you'll join me

and candidate

for assembly

Elder Maclntyre...

- Cut him off

- Anything you can spare...

- Cut him off now

- will be greatly appreciated
