Knucklebones

---

Heil Hitler!

Billy?

Where are you?

Knucklebones,

Knucklebones, blood runs red.

Knucklebones, Knucklebones,

wake the dead.

Broken?

Billy!

I'm not mad!

I just need you!

Mommy's hurt!

Billy!

Come here right now or you're

going to be in big trouble!

You're all going to be

in big, big, trouble!

Mom?

Mom?

You want this?

OK, what will you

give me for it?

A kiss.

Well, I don't think my fianc

would like that very much.

Here, how about I

just give it to you?

Yeah?

Have fun.

Oh my God.

Wow.

Let me see this thing.

Neesa.

Yes?

You know that I really

do love you, right?

I know.

I love you too.

Which is why this makes what

I'm about to say so difficult.

Oh, what?

You're not breaking

up with me, are you?

You're breaking up with me?

We're about to graduate.

I mean, I don't

want either of us

to miss any other opportunities.

Opportunities?

Is it another girl, Ryan?

Just tell me the truth!

I think I deserve that much!

No, it's not another girl.

I love you.

It's just that

right now, I think

this is the best for

both of us, you know?

So that's it?

I'm sorry.

Shelby, Neesa,

let's get a move on!

Hey sweetie, are

you ready for camp?

What's on the docket today?

Archery.

Archery, I'm not sure

how I feel about that.

Where's your sister?

Still in her room.

I think Ryan broke up

with her last night.

Were you eavesdropping again?

Bus is here, later tater.

Neesa, are you in there?

Sweetie?

Neesa?

Knucklebones,

Knucklebones, blood runs red.

Knucklebones, Knucklebones,

wake the dead.

Hello?

Hello?

Knucklebones,

Knucklebones, blood runs red.

Knucklebones, Knucklebones,

wake the dead.

Hi, Sheriff.

Hey Mary, how's that

old man of yours?

- Fine.

- That's good.

Neesa Avery?

Room 305.

Tell Arn hi.

I will.

You know, statistically

when a parent commits suicide,

the odds that one of their children will

try to take their own life increases.

It's not like that.

It's not.

I knew your dad for

over 20 years, Neesa.

He was a good man, just a

little emotional, like you.

That's the wife,

riding me as usual.

You ever meet Cindy?

Yeah... at the funeral.

She said my father

was going to hell

'cause he took his own life.

Sorry about that.

She can be a bit Bibley.

You didn't believe her, did you?

I do now.

You'll feel better

if you eat something.

At least take a pain pill.

I love you, sweetie.

What if your sister

would have found you?

Neesa, one of your

friends is here to see you.

I'll leave the two of you alone.

You know what you

should have done?

You should have shoved that stuffed

elephant right up his ass.

I know.

Was it another girl?

It was probably Linda Harris.

You want to go tie

her to my rear bumper

and see how fast she can run?

He said it wasn't another girl.

Yeah, well he's

a liar, obviously.

Are you still wearing that

stupid promise ring he gave you?

It's an engagement ring.

That's not stupid.

We need to get you out of here.

Get dressed.

The guys want to go check

out some old haunted factory

or something.

I don't know.

My mom will freak.

Who wants to play board games?

Oh my God.

Let's go.

Nice stop, Travis.

That's kind of how I roll.

I just go.

You kind of just rolled

right through the stop sign.

Stop means go.

This place is super creepy.

I love it.

You would like it, Kia.

Whose idea was it

to come way out here?

The guys, of course.

Yeah, they think if they get us

all scared and vulnerable they

can have their way with us.

Guys only think about one thing.

Three girls, two guys,

Adam, three girls, two guys.

I'm liking these odds.

Whew, it's hot out here.

Yeah, I'll tell you

what's hot, Adam.

These girls are hot.

Look at 'em.

Huh? Huh? OK, leave me hanging.

I got this.

Leave me hanging.

Why don't you... Thank you.

I'm going to get this flashlight.

You get the beers, Adam.

I got this flashlight.

This place is huge.

So what is this

place supposed to be?

It's an old garment factory.

It was originally built

during World War

To make uniforms for the troops.

Closed it down back in the

70s after a bunch of people

got butchered while working

the graveyard shift.

They say the place

is still haunted now

by the ghost of

those dead workers.

Yay.

So why did we come here?

Because there's no

such thing as ghosts.

Don't say that.

You'll anger them.

Dibs on the crazy chick!

What's that smell?

The '70s.

I know, right?

I wonder if they made

bell bottom jeans here.

And mini skirts and hot pants.

Hey!

You guys probably

think we're so weird.

Guys?

Hey, where'd they go?

They're probably

hiding to scare us.

So predictable.

Well, now that they're

gone, let's talk about them.

So which one do you want, Neesa?

What do you mean?

Which guy do you want?

Yeah, you get first pick, Neesa.

Me and Kia will duke

it out for runner-up.

I'm so going to beat you.

Like hell you are.

Damn it!

Travis!

What is this place?

You should have saw your faces!

Stop it!

The generator still works!

Adam, this is so

freaking awesome.

We've got three chicks.

Oh God, Adam.

Is that your new phone?

Yeah.

How do you like it?

I love it.

But it feels too big in my hand.

That's what she said.

That was a good one, huh?

Right, Adam, that

was a good one.

So, Neesa...

Hi, honey.

Yeah, I got the messages

about your mother.

I know she's upset.

I have no idea who's

stealing her newspapers.

No, I don't have any leads.

Why doesn't she get up earlier?

She sleeps almost all day.

Hey, I got another

call coming in.

I got to take this.

Sheriff's office.

What do you mean, she's gone?

Neesa never leaves without

telling me where she's going.

It's like she's a

different person now.

I'm sure she's fine.

I tell you what I'm going to do.

I'm going to go hit all the

convenience stores in town,

see if anyone's seen them.

On a serious note, OK, guys,

I got a question for you,

Guys, listen, listen!

I got a question.

What if you were to

travel into the future...

right... and jerk off

your future self?

Would that be gay or

just masturbation?

It would be experimental.

Seriously, this has

been weighing on my mind.

OK, so, would it be politically

incorrect for a special ed

teacher to refer to one of her

students that's late for class

as tardy?

Are you the teacher?

Possibly.

Because if you're

the teacher, no.

OK, OK.

If a turtle that

just loss its shell

would be considered

naked or homeless?

Hm?

Both, obviously.

That poor turtle.

Yeah, that wasn't funny, Neesa.

Not in the least.

You guys suck.

So Neesa, why'd you

try to kill yourself?

What the hell, Travis?

Jesus, Travis, we're just

having a good time, OK?

It's not really an

appropriate topic.

I understand we're

having a good time.

OK.

A suicide attempt is

a cry for help, right?

Right, well, I'm trying to help.

You're trying to be

an a**hole is what...

No, I'm not.

I'm a nice guy, wear

my heart on my sleeve.

I didn't try to kill myself.

I did kill myself.
