Mean Creek Page #5

look like we did it on purpose.

If we bury the body,

we're not gonna look like anything.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Yeah, well, maybe out of your mind,

you stupid f***.

Look, we just committed

a major f***ing crime.

And if any one of us cracks,

we are all gonna be screwed.

Look, it was an accident. Kids like us

have accidents all the time.

This wasn't just an accident.

All right? We schemed this,

from the beginning.

All right, so fine, we schemed.

No one has to know that.

They're gonna figure it out.

Somebody's bound to crack when

they start asking a million questions.

Put Sammy boy in a lie detector.

Look, the idea

of burying the body is nuts.

Going to jail

and getting raped every night

for the rest of your cute,

little, f***ing lives is nuts.

I think you're nuts.

So that's it?

We're just gonna pretend

like we're all innocent.

- Shut up.

- No.

- Shut up.

- No!

If you've got a better idea,

then you better spit it out

- because no one else does.

- Marty, come on.

- Do you have one?

- Sh*t, Marty. Get off. Come on.

If you've got a better idea,

I'll listen. Do you?

- No.

- Then do you agree

that we have to go

with the best idea we've got?

Yes. Get off.

You always gotta go

with the best idea you've got.

Otherwise you're just left

laying around

not knowing what to do.

I can't do it.

It's not safe.

It's a big joke anyway.

I think that's deep enough.

Hey, you guys wanna help?

First thing we gotta do

when we get back

is deal with Jasper

and my brother.

How?

Gotta make sure they forget

they ever saw George with us.

What the f***

you gonna do? Huh?

Hit them over the head with a rock,

hope they get amnesia?

Thanks.

All right, this is the way

it's gonna work.

We drop everybody off

at their houses.

Everybody's gonna sit tight

until I go make sure

everything's "copathetic"

with Kile and Jasper.

The word's copacetic, Marty.

Yeah.

Millie...

...mum's the word.

Peg, can I get the phone?

Sh*t.

- Kile?

- Hey, Marty.

- What's cooking?

- Hey, you little f***er.

How'd the cow spanking go?

What?

Looks fantastic.

You OK?

You look a little...

No, I'm fine.

Clyde, if something's up,

it's OK to tell us about it.

This is so f***ed.

F***!

I don't even know...

I don't even know.

Hey.

Maybe you guys

could take me home?

Wish we knew what to do.

We know what to do.

You know what we did, Rocky.

What are you trying to say, Sam?

You have to trust me

on this one, Sam.

I'm your big brother.

But I don't trust you.

Where you going?

What do you want?

To talk.

We have nothing to talk about.

It was your guys' plan.

I was just there.

That doesn't mean

I have to tell on you.

And that's your problem.

Are you done?

Can I come in?

Do you remember when you said

we could never be forgiven?

That might be right.

I don't know.

The only thing I do know is that

I'm not sure about anything.

What do you want us to do?

Go back and unbury the body?

He's dead.

You know...

...when we graduate

high school

and go to college and become doctors

and lawyers and all that...

...what do you think it'd be like?

- Hey.

- Hey, Marty.

- Good to see you.

- How you doing, Mr. Maris?

- How are you?

- I'm good.

Are...?

Is Rocky and Sam home?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

The whole gang's here.

They're listening to music

in the bedroom there.

- Do you mind if...? Thanks.

- Yeah, yeah.

What's going on here?

Why don't you sit down?

What, so I go off to make sure

all our business is taken care of,

and all of a sudden

you guys form a new club?

- We've come to a decision.

- You've come to a decision?

What, are you kidding me?

We already decided.

I talked to Jasper and Kile.

They're not gonna say anything.

Everything is going to be OK.

No. Everything is not

gonna be OK.

So, what?

All you guys decide to squeal

or something?

We have to, Marty.

It's the only way...

No, there is no "only way", Sam.

That's crap.

OK? You know that's crap.

All right.

Screw all of you, then.

- Marty, hang on.

- No!

- Where you going?

- Away from you.

You suck.

You know that, right?

- What are you gonna do?

- I don't know, drive to Mexico.

What do you think?

I don't know what to think.

Well, if you don't know

what to think,

then you probably shouldn't

be making decisions.

What do you think about

letting me borrow your gun?

- Hey.

- Yeah.

Easy, man.

He was saying terrible things.

Things that shouldn't

have been said.

When your brother

knocked George overboard...

...would you say he was

in control

or out of control?

- You got something for me?

- Yeah.

Excuse me, Sam.

Never seen him

more out of control in my life.

My name is George.

And this...

...is the inside of my mind.

The inside of my mind

has a zillion things.

The inside of my mind

has a zillion things about it.

But...

...people that don't

see inside my mind

don't know there are

a zillion things and...

You know, since no one

sees inside my mind,

no one really knows.

But...

...one day people will know.

One day people will know

because that's my master plan.

To film it all.

To document every aspect

of the life that is me.

And put it in a time capsule

in my back yard.

And so that one day, some...

...alien,

or some highly evolved species,

will find it and...

understand.
