Jennifer’s Body Page #6

You know, Needy, maybe

you should talk to somebody

about these...

disturbing thoughts

that you're having.

We're all really concerned.

Especially Chip.

I think he may be having

second thoughts about you.

Leave.

Come on, Needy.

Let me stay the night.

We can play boyfriend-girlfriend

like we used to.

What are you doing?

Um, you said to leave.

See you at school.

We are gathered here

to celebrate the life of Colin Gray,

who was plucked

from the prime of his youth—

[ Sobbing ]

Colin!

Take me with you!

I belong down there...

in the darkness!

No, Kevin.

Those are just

his earthly remains.

He's among

the dark angels

ofthe realm now.

Fly, Colin.

Fly into the firmament.

[ Sobbing Continues ]

Colin wouldn't like this.

[ Woman ]

You think so?

Yeah, you're right.

I'm pretty sure my son

wouldn't have liked being eaten

by a f***ing cannibal...

and buried

before his 1 8th birthday.

Wow. You must have

known him so well.

Jill.

By the time they found Colin

in that godforsaken house,

he looked like lasagna with teeth.

I'd know.

I had to identify the remains.

My boy...

is not in the realm ofthe undead.

He is not flying around

in the firmament...

on magical wings of flame.

He's in an overpriced rosewood box...

that's headed six feet downtown.

So...

you can take your pain...

and you can shove it

up your asses, kids.

I got the monopoly on pain.

[ Needy Narrating ]

They did a big memorial assembly

for Colin at school.

And we had to watch

another presentation

about curfews and the buddy system...

and how to deal with grief.

But nobody seemed

to care anymore.

Sorrow was last week's emotion.

Sure, we all hoped

this would be the last funeral,

but I knew better.

So I did some research.

Paranormal research.

"Offering a virgin to Satan."

"Ifthe sacrifice is impure-

Human and demonic relations"—

"Destroying a demon.

"Demons are weakest when hungry,

but a blade to the heart

is the surest way to kill the beast."

Jennifer and I hadn't spoken

since our encounter in my room.

Actually, I hadn't really

spoken to anyone.

Hey.

Just bought our formal tickets.

Did you make reservations

at the Cheesecake Factory?

Chip, I can't go

to the dance with you.

What? Why?

Look, just trust me.

You shouldn't go at all.

What are you talking about?

Not here.

What's going on?

You're breaking up with me?

Please, Chip! I just need

to show you something.

Is this aboutJennifer?

Yes!

But I promise you

this is the last thing—

Needy, I care about you. A lot.

As a person, not just some girl

I made love to for four minutes

the other night.

And I'm scared

ofwhat's happening to you.

You're acting really f***ed up.

Please just let me show you.

[ Exhales ]

Okay.

Jennifer's evil.

I know.

No, I mean, she's actually evil.

Not high-school evil.

I've been through

the occult section

at the library five times.

Our library

has an occult section?

Yeah, it's um— it's really small.

Uh, you have to read this.

"Demoni"—

"Demonic transference."

It's something that happens

when you try to sacrifice

a virgin to Satan...

without using an actual virgin.

The guys in the band tried to

sacrifice her in the woods.

But what they didn't know

is that she hasn't been a virgin

since junior high.

It all makes sense now.

Read this.

"If the human sacrifice is impure,

the result may still be attained,

"but the demon will forever reside

in the soul ofthe victim.

She must forever feed on flesh

to sustain the demon."

- Okay.

- She's eating boys!

They, like, make her

really pretty and glowy...

and her hair looks amazing.

And then when she's hungry,

she's weak and cranky and ugly.

I mean, like, ugly for her.

Don't you get it?

The dance.

It'll be like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Needy, I think you need help.

Oh, my God. You don't believe me.

It's not that I don't believe you.

I just don't believe this.

God! This is a nightmare!

Well, what about the dance?

Who cares about

the goddanged dance, Chip?

I do. I ordered your corsage.

It's an orchid. It was, like, $1 2.

I'll be at the dance.

I just need to keep an eye on Jennifer.

Promise me you're not gonna go.

Needy, I—

I'm not your guy anymore?

Chip, it's not safe for us

to be together right now.

[ Bird Calling ]

[ Gasps ]

Didn't you hear me

calling your name?

You weren't

calling my name.

Yes, I was.

I-I couldn't hear it.

Listen,

I need to talk to you

about you-know-who.

Our little Needy.

Yeah, she—

I mean,

are you worried?

Because I am

super stressed about her.

Welcome

to the Spring Formal!

[ Students Cheering ]

She's been acting

a little off lately.

[ Sighs ]

Look, I think I know

what's wrong with her.

What? What is it?

You know how Needy

has been really upset

since Colin Gray died?

Mm-hmm.

Well, it's notjust because he was,

like, brutally murdered and stuff.

I don't wanna say this!

Say it.

I hope everybody

has had an opportunity...
