I didn't say you were crazy.

It's just...

..everybody's a little messed up about this.

And it's okay to feel...

Discombobulated?

- Yeah! F***ed up!

Hi, needy.

- Oh. Hi, Collin.

I heard you were there last night,

in the fiery trenches.

Yeah.

I'm glad, you didn't die.

Thanks.

Seriously.

How are you friends with Colin Gray?

I thought Colin Gray only talked

to the dead girls.

I just am.

We have composition together.

He's a really good writer.

He's like all dark and emotional

and stuff.

Well, I'm like that too,

I mean, I can relate it.

I'm not all obvious about it like...

..a poseur.

Walk me home?

You got it, baby.

"Sacred Heart (Sacre Coeur)"

performed by It Dies Today

Hi.

- Hey.

Jennifer.

I'm crazy-sorry about your profound loss.

You're crying about Craig, right?

He was my best friend.

You know, I was there last night.

And I was probably the last person

to talk to him.

Like, ever.

- Wow!

You-You know what he said?

Craig said that he always thought

that you and me...

..would make a totally banging couple.

Isn't that so weird?

He-He said banging?

Feel my heart, Jonas.

I think it's broken.

Mine too.

You come with me,

just for a little while.

It's what Craig would have wanted.

Yeah.

- Yeah!

You're so warm..

Why are you so warm?

- Shutties!

Jennifer.

Jen...

- What?

Look.

They're waiting.

Uh, okay.

Do you miss Craig?

Of course.

Well, you're gonna see your buddy

really soon.

What? You mean like in heaven someday?

Nope.

Oh, God!

Let it all out, kids.

"Teenagers"

performed by Hayley Williams

You want some baloney, Specter?

And that was Low Shoulder...

..the local band who became the unlikely

heroes of the tragedy...

..in Devil's Kettle last night.

Eyewitnesses say the boys helped numerous

people escape the inferno,

..risking their own lives in the process.

That's rock n' roll with a conscience,

ladies and gentlemen.

And guess what?

We're honoured to have Low Shoulder

in the studio right now.

How are you guys holding up?

Maintaining, man.

It's not easy, but you know

the real heroes...

..are people in Devil's Lake.

I just hope we can get their one tad

of that courage...

..and spear it on our upcoming album.

Virgin Mother!

Crap.

- You said it.

Hi, Mom.

I didn't know you were up.

Yeah.

Oh, God, I had another one of

my night terrors.

Well, it's 4 o'clock.

So technically you had a day terror.

- Hmm, right.

What did you dream about?

I dreamed some bad people who were

trying to nail you to a tree...

..with hammers and..

..big stakes and sh*t.

Just like JC.

But I didn't let them get you.

Because I'm a hard-assed,

Ford-tough mama bear.

I can take care of myself.

Now, you say that.

But one day you're gonna be crying out

for me and I'm not gonna be there.

"Celestial Crown"

performed by The Sword

..a terrific fire destroyed the popular local

nightclub in Devil's Kettle last night.

Yeah?

- I feel so scrumptious!

Goody for you.

You know, when you kiss your boyfriend

for the first time...

..and it feels like your entire body

is on vibrate.

Yeah.

It's that good.

Well, that's nice.

I'm little bit depressed about, you know,

..the giant smoldering funeral pyre

in the middle of the town.

Move on dot org, Needy!

It's over.

Life is too short to be mopping around about

some white-trash pig roast.

That's sweet, Jen.

You know, I tell it like it is.

And besides, you know what?

You should be happy for me,

because I'm having the best days since like...

..Jesus invented the calendar.

Jesus didn't invent the calendar.

Whatever.

The other line, hold on.

- So blow it off.

It will just be a min.

I'm crossing you out.

Hey!

I need to see you right now.

- I can bearly hear you.

Because Camille is playing the piano.

Knock it off, Camille!

- You knock it off!

Can you meet at McCullum in ten?

You knock it off, Chip!

You're penis cheese!

Fifteen?

"New in Town"

performed by Little Boots

I gotta go.

- I'm a Gd.

Okay.

I gonna meet Chip at McCullum Park.

You know, Chip is looking really cute

to me lately.

So tell me, is he like packing some

serious pubic inhes?

What's the story down there?

I gotta go.

Why are the cops at your house?

- They're not.

They're at Jonas Kozelle's house.

Why? He tried to sell fake papers to

8th graders again?

No, Needy, he was murdered.

What?

- Yeah!

Someone ripped Jonas limb from limb

in the woods behind the school.

Ate parts of him.

No one's supposed to know yet.

But my father just went over there

and talked to the cops.

His mom is like catatonic.

She's just staring out the front window like

a zombie mannequin robot statue.

This can't be a coincidence.

What you talking about, Needy?

- A fiery death trap last night,

And now a cannibal psycho takes down

the biggest guy in school, come on.

It's freaktarded.

Well, the bad luck's gotta be over, right?

I mean, it can't get any worse, right?

It can't.

I mean, you agree, right?

You're shaking.

I'm cold.

It's very cold out here.

- You want my hoodie?

"Through the Trees"

performed by Low Shoulder

All alone in an empty room.

The days marched on as usual,

..but most of us were too numb

to enjoy ourselves.

Most of us.

I don't know how we ended up here.

I don't know but it's never been so clear.

We made a mistake, dear.

To the rest of the world we were famous.

We were saints.

Our town's only bar had burned to the ground.

And our star line-backer was

someone's snack pack.

The whole country got a huge tragedy boner

for Devil's Kettle.

And the press. oh, God!

They couldn't get enough of our little

world of sh*t.

Through the trees.

I will find you.

I will heal the ruins left inside you.

Because I'm still here breathing now.

I'm still here breathing now.

I'm still here breathing now.

Until I'm set free.

Go quiet through the trees.

Still, we were healing.

Like Chip, we figured things could

only get better.

We had faith.

We were f***ing idiots.

Before the period ends, I would like to

make an announcement.

As you all know, today is the

one month anniversary of...

..the tragedy at Melody Lane,

..and the murder of Jonas Kozelle.

Boring.

As I was saying, Jennifer...

..and Needy.

I finally got some good news to

share with all of you.

The members of the rock n' roll group

Low Shoulder,

..have decided to extend a helping hand

to our community.

As you all know, their song...

'Through the trees'

..has become our unofficial anthem

of unity and healing.

And they have decided to release it

as a benefit single.

3% of the profits will go to local families

who have been affected by loss.

What about the other 97%?

I mean, that's just crass. Right?

Crass.

It means greedy. Exploitative.

Scummy.

Low Shoulder are American heroes.

- No, they're not.

I was there, Chastity.

They didn't helped anybody escape the fire.

I don't even know how that

rumor all got started.

Rumor?

Rumor?

It's true!

It's on the Wikipedia.
