[A SCREAM]

[THUNDER]

[SOUNDS OF DIFFERENT CREATURES]

I'm telling you, guys.

You guys were possessed.

'Possessed'? Yeah, sure.

Tell us another one.

I don't kid, all right.

I'm serious.

You all changed.

- Changed how?

- Double voices came out of you guys.

Can you stop it, please?

I wanna know this.

What a freaking head ache.

Then when I got up

to stop you guys...

your eyes,

big and white like gold balls.

I ripped the right from

your hand and smashed it.

You're telling me there

was something inside me?

What did we do.

We went into a reverie,

that's all.

Reverie?

Meaning, we went

into a trance like state

affording a channel

into the spirit one.

You say that like

it's f***ing routine.

Come on guys,

lets channel the spirits

of the dead. It'll we fun.

You knew something

like this could happen

and, you still let us play?

Whoa ho, didn't you girls say

you needed stimulating?

Not by letting spirits

inside of us.

Subjecting everyone to demons

is your idea of stimulation?

Demons?

Look, I know what I saw,

all right.

You guys know I don't lie.

I think, I'm gonna be sick.

JOHNNY:
Seriously.

Can we just forget it?

Look how upset it's making her.

[FAINT OTHER-WORLDLY VOICES]

God, deliver us from evil.

Something just

doesn't feel right.

[BARBARA SCREAMS]

Hey, guys.

Thanks for stealing my seat,

Tony.

Just keeping it warm

for you, Barb.

Yeah, yeah.

[BARBARA LAUGHING]

feeling better?

A bit, surely.

Just thought you were

getting a little horny.

[BOYS LAUGH]

[SARCASTIC LAUGH]

Always a dick.

Anyone hear that?

Ssh, listen.

- Francis, please, I think something's wrong.

- Will you shut up!

Listen!

BARBARA:

Francis, what are you doing?

Will you shut and listen!

[LYDIA SCREAMS]

JESSIE:

Help! He's looking possessed.

Look out

[FRANCIS' ANIMAL-LIKE SOUNDS]

Tony, do something.

Do something!

This is the type of sh*t

I'm talking about.

Johnny, help me pull him off.

[ANIMAL-LIKE SOUNDS]

JESSIE:
Help!

Jesus!

Deliver him!

[A SLOW LOUD FART]

[FART]

FRANCIS:
You get off me

before I shoot myself?

Everything's a f***ing joke

with you!

F*** you, Francis.

It's all fun and games

till someone gets hurt.

Somebody could have gotten hurt.

Oh ho, smells like sh*t!

I can't stand you anymore.

Do you realize what

you're doing to a person?

I got you best of all.

What did you say?

"Deliver him, Jesus!"

"Please Jesus!".

What a f***ing riot.

You guys, you're too much.

You guys are looking like

you've seen the devil himself.

Come on, I really didn't

get you with this one?

Got to admit,

it was a rush and a half.

You guys are too much.

I gotta take a piss,

I gotta take piss.

Yes, take a crap too

while you're at it.

Oh, guys, too f***ing much.

Lighten up, it's just a joke.

[FRANCIS CONTINUES TO LAUGH]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[DOOR BELL RINGS]

Hello?

So glad, you showed up again.

Come on,

aw, how can I forget you? Ah!

Give me a hug.

[DOOR CREAKS]

I know you guys think

I'm an a**hole

and I am.

But, I want you guys

to know, no matter what,

I really do love you.

We love you too, man.

Imagine, if it really happened.

Imagine what?

TONY:

Raising the dead.

Sh*t!

I would have sh*t myself so bad!

I would sh*t and piss myself.

You're gonna sh*t, all right.

Every single one of you.

You wouldn't, hero?

[WALL RATTLING]

[BARBARA SCREAMS]

Really scary, guys.

Really shaking in my shoes, now.

Who's out there?

Of course.

Who else could it be.

Jonah.

Recently revived from the dead.

After all,

you did invite him.

You go welcome our guests, then.

JOHNNY:
I bet it's Joe,

messing with our heads.

Bet it is.

JESSIE:

What do you think he's up to?

[HUMS A SONG]

Go get him, killer.

Who is it, Tony?

Can you see?

FRANCIS:

Real funny, Joe.

Wait for it, Joe.

Sh*t! Holy sh*t!

No...

What the f***, Joe!

You f***ing kidding me, man!

What the f***!

No, no, no, no, no, Joe! No!

Don't do it, Joe! Why?

Why... don't do it, Joe! Joe!

Get away from...

[SCREAMS]

[LYDIA BREATHES HEAVILY]

Holy god! Help me!

Holy gosh! No, don't, Joe.

[THUD]

[THUD AND SPLATTER]

[THUD AND SPLATTER]

[THUD AND SPLATTER]

Tony!

FRANCIS:

F*** with Joe...

It's not Joe!

He's on drugs, that stupid pork.

What you up to now Joe?

It's not Joe!

Give me a chair,

give me a chair.

[SOBBING]

What happened, Lydia?

What did you see?

Tony's dea... he's dead!

What do you mean he's dead?

He removed his head.

He turned back

and whacked him

right in the head!

Did you see who it was?

He's dead!

[MELON SQUISHING]

[SOBBING]

FRANCIS:

Tony!

Tone!

He's dead!

Tony's dead!

Is it Joe?

Is it Jonah?

- Did we do it?

- Are you insane?

Joe's been taking

all kinds of drugs.

He probably took some bad sh*t

and lost his mind.

What if it's Jonah?

[BANGS TABLE]

What did you see?

Stop it, Johny, stop it.

We're gonna get this burnout.

What're you gonna

do against Jonah?

It's Joe!

F***ing druggie!

I told you,

it was Jonah.

He killed him.

All that blood,

Tony's blood, all over,

and Jonah laughing at me.

Wanting me to see it.

What are we gonna

tell Tony's mom?

It's just Joe out there.

Just Joe.

No, it's not.

FRANCIS:

We have to do something.

The three of us will get him,

get upstairs...[WORDS GET FAINT]

Yeah, what if it's Jonah

and we can't get through?

It's three of us against him.

He;'s probably having

some f***ing bad trip.

One of us will make it upstairs.

I'm afraid, Francis.

Honey, the first time

I married for love.

Second time,

I married for money.

Freaking lots of it!

So, what's it gonna be for,

this time?

This time?

Seriously, why would I

marry again?

What about him?

Him? Ah, he's just

to amuse myself.

A man's only good for thing.

Ha ha, get it? 'Thing'!

Bigger the thing is, the better.

There's only so much man

that you can handle.

Believe me honey,

you don't know

how much I can handle.

Neither do I.

[COMPANION LAUGHS]

Oh, my god, Joe,

what did you do?

JESSIE:

Is that blood?

Holy sh*t!

There's blood everywhere.

Joe, just keep your head cool,

we can get you some help.

Oh, god!

[COUGHING]

[COUGHING]

FRANCIS:
What the hell happened?

Hey, get me out

- They're already big enough.

- Give me the ones you got.

- What good are those?

- I got them all.

They're no good!

What the hell

did you do that for?

FRANCIS:
Those aren't gonna keep

it out if he wants to get in!

It's empty!

Can't breathe.

He's not breathing.

Breathe, dammit!

You don't die like this!

Breathe!

BARBARA:
Stop it!

[CHOKING]

Can't breathe.

He's not breathing.

What to do?

[BARBARA CRYING]

Breathe!

What to do!

You don't die like this!

Breathe.

Breathe.

[BARBARA CRYING]

Please!

Please!

What you doing? Don't stop!

That's it!

Stop it, Johnny.

Stop it!

You're breaking his ribs.
