Lord of the Flies Page #2

- (boy) We should be hunting pigs.

- That's all I got to say.

- Anyone else want the conch?

- Some jerk-off stole my pocketknife.

Yeah, things are disappearing all over.

- What are we gonna do with thieves?

- Kick the sh*t out of them.

- Shove their dick in the conch!

- Put a stick up their butt.

- Ram it in there!

- OK, OK!

(Ralph) We can't have kids

stealing and running wild.

We're gonna have to have stricter rules.

And hand out demerits, I guess.

- Demerits!

- Demerits?

Demerits for grand larceny?

- Eat sh*t and die.

- Yeah!

Sir?

Are we ever going home?

Of course we are,

as soon as they see our signal.

Jack says that we're never

gonna be rescued.

No, you misunderstood him.

That's not what he meant.

That's exactly what I meant.

There's eight million islands out here.

Why should they find this one?

Don't listen to him.

We will be rescued, Peter.

Honest.

Are you going hunting for pigs again?

I wanna come next time.

Me too.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Hey, cut it out.

Are you crazy? Stop it.

You know why Jack got sent

to military school?

- Because he was in trouble.

- Who says?

Tony. Jack told him he took a car

and drove it on the highway.

- He's a liar. He didn't steal a car.

- He didn't say he stole it.

He borrowed it. It was a neighbour's.

And the neighbour was away and he just

borrowed it and drove it on the highway.

He probably rode his dad's bicycle

around the block.

- Then how come he got arrested?

- Yeah, by the highway patrol.

They got him doing 80.

Ugh!

Ugh!

What time is it?

What difference does it make?

Well, if I knew what time it was

I'd know what's on TV.

- I'm not even sure what day it is.

- It's Monday.

- Are you sure?

- I'm sure.

Mondays. Monday's ALF.

ALF comes on at eight o'clock.

It's a lot later than eight.

Yeah. But I bet we're in

a different time zone.

I bet it's really about eight o'clock and

ALF's causing some trouble right now.

Yeah.

(Jack) They're mean and they move fast.

They ain't gonna be easy to kill.

- You gotta get 'em first time, in the heart.

- I guess the spear's gotta be real sharp.

We have to have a strategy.

You know, trick 'em.

Oh, sure. How we supposed to do that?

You just smoke 'em out.

You crawl up, light a little fire.

We have to practise on stuff that moves.

Ew.

Jesus Christ.

When do we do it?

I mean, like, what time of day?

You always go right before dawn.

Maybe you can catch 'em asleep.

(panting)

Simon!

Simon can't stay with him

every single second.

Sh.

And he's scared of everyone else.

I'm scared of him. He's crazy.

We've gotta do something.

- (Ralph) Maybe we should tie him down.

- (Jack) That or get rid of him.

Come on. He's hurt bad and he has

a fever. We've gotta take care of him.

(Roger) Why bother?

He ain't gonna make it.

- We've gotta take care of ourselves.

- Exactly.

(gasps)

(Ralph) Captain Benson!

(Simon) Captain!

Captain Benson!

Captain Benson!

(Ralph) Save your breath, man.

He's gotta be close by.

He's probably just lost.

Look.

(Ralph) It's nobody's fault, Simon.

He just didn't know what he was doing.

I don't think it's what you think.

I don't think he's dead.

- Why not?

- Where are his shoes?

We've gotta keep looking.

He just swam out in 'em.

And his belt? He left his pants

and swam out in his shoes and belt?

He was crazy, Simon.

(grunting)

- There it is! Get it!

- Get it!

- Kill it!

- Yeah!

(Jack) Roger, are you OK, man?

That was some jump.

I got him right up his ass.

- Right up the ass!

- Yeah!

- Get him! Get him!

- Yeah!

Hey, come on! Cut it out! Stop it!

- You dorks. It hurt.

- I know it hurt.

I've been thinking about a clock.

We could make a clock.

Yeah, sure, Piggy. Then a TV.

No, really. We could make a sundial

with a stick in the ground.

What's that noise?

(whirring)

- Look, there it is!

- Help!

Over here!

- Help!

- Please!

Over here!

Over here!

Over here!

Over here!

Over here!

If you guys hadn't let the fire go out

they would have seen it.

- Hey, man, we were hunting.

- Great. Killed a pig.

Face it, you f***ed up.

We could have been rescued.

Back off, man.

I'm sick of your sh*t and so's my gang.

Your gang?

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that if you know what's good for

you you'll stop trying to run everything.

Stop it!

I'm sick of this. I'm gonna make a camp

for hunters and guys who wanna have fun.

(gang) Yeah!

Come on, that's crazy.

We've gotta work together.

- Come on, what do you say?

- I say f*** you.

And that goes for you too, Miss Piggy.

Come on, let's get out

of this kindergarten.

- I'm with you, Jack.

- Right on, Larry.

When you other brats get older or get

hungry enough, you can come join us too.

They're back! Simon, they're back!

(loud bang)

Are you all right?

It's only a storm.

(thud)

- Where's your brother?

- I don't know.

He must be in the other shelter.

Quick, get out of there!

That tree's gonna go!

(boy screams)

Help me!

Over here!

Help!

Where are the others?

I don't know.

(boy screams)

Peter, where are you?

Ralph!

(Ralph in distance) Yeah?

Where are you?

(Ralph) Over here.

(Piggy) Wait. Wait for me.

Well, come on.

- Where'd you get that from?

- (boy) Right here.

(Piggy) Ralph!

- Yeah?

- Over here. We found fruit.

Do you think the other guys are OK?

- Who cares?

- OK, dork. I was just asking.

We should relight the fire.

- Gross.

- (boy) Where are they?

(boy#2) If they didn't get blown away

they're probably hunting.

What good will that do? They can't cook

pigs without a fire. They'll get trichinosis.

- What's that?

- It's bugs that live in pigs.

We knew that.

- (groans)

- (screams)

What's this sh*t about a monster?

We'll send you back to kindergarten.

- I'm serious.

- OK, what kind of monster?

Did it have fur and poisoned fangs,

or long, slimy tentacles?

It growled and it came out at me.

And its mouth, it was wet.

- Maybe it was a bear.

- Sounds more like a reptile.

Sounds more like bullshit.

(groaning)

(groaning)

- We heard it all right.

- Yeah.

Whatever it is, it's in there.

You should have seen it.

He was scared shitless.

Do you think there was something there?

Some kind of wild animal or something?

- I know it. We heard it growl.

- Is it close?

Just over the big rise

behind our camp. Real close.

Holy sh*t.

- I just thought you ought to know.

- Yeah.

Thanks for the fire.

(Roger) Here come the reserves.

- Better keep on your toes tonight.

- What do you mean?

- You'll find out.

- What are you doing with that?

Next time we kill a pig,

we're gonna have a barbecue.

- You mean no one's on fire watch?

- Why can't we have the fire down here?

If we want anybody to see the smoke

it's gotta be up there.

Nobody wants to be

up there alone any more.

There's something loose

on this island - a monster.

- There's no monster.

- There's something.

- (Piggy) So what do you want?

- Jack wants the survival knife.
