Nightlight
1
I had a bad couple of days,
a few days...
I actually had
a suicide attempt.
Um...
anti-depressants.
Sometimes I think I should
just take this flashlight
and... just go out to
Covington and disappear.
My friend has seen some of these
videos that I've recorded,
And she made us this.
Matching key chains.
It's a picture of us from
middle school at a dance.
And it's really nice of her.
Um... She's one of
the best people I know.
I think I'm going
to ask her to the dance.
Maybe things will
change after that.
Who knows?
You stupid f***ing flashlight.
Piece of sh*t.
How am I supposed to play
flashlight games
my flashlight doesn't work?
OK.
You're fine.
Damn it.
All right.
Stop crying.
forget about him.
Hey!
Hey, boy.
According to Facebook...
Ben likes... sports.
And he likes rock climbing.
He likes Abercrombie & Fitch.
I know.
so you are going
to be my wing man. OK?
OK? OK? OK.
Good boy. You're such a...
Damn it.
Hey, Ben.
Hey, how you doing? Yeah.
Not how you doing...
How are...
Thank you for
inviting me to play
flashlight games with you guys.
Oh, it's going to be
so scary in Covington.
Oh, that sounds
f***ing desperate.
OK. Um...
- Hey guys.
- Hold on.
Can we just talk about
our faces for a second?
- Hi, puppy.
- What up?
Hey, what's your name?
Robin.
I was talking to the dog.
Oh no, I know.
Yeah, that's Kramer.
Well, If you could
keep Kramer away from me,
that would be sweet.
It looks like you were crying.
No, no.
No, I wasn't, I wasn't crying.
I was just, like...
I was laughing so hard
so my eyes were watering.
Does he know any tricks?
I think it's kind of weird
that you brought a dog.
- It's not weird.
- It's weird.
- It's not weird.
- It's weird.
Does anybody know
when Ben's coming?
Why?
- What?
- I said why?
I'm just, I'm just wondering.
You are so weird.
I'm just wondering when
everybody's coming.
Uh huh. You're wondering
when everybody's coming?
Or are you wondering
when Ben is coming?
Very funny. Can I have
my flashlight back please?
Everybody knows you have
a f*** crash on Ben.
Is it because he's British?
No I don't, I don't,
I don't like Ben.
- Hi Ben.
- Hey.
Hey Ben.
Aah!
Hey boy.
Are you excited?
I know we said
Lincoln Forest. But, uh...
it's going to be
way cooler in Covington.
Yeah, I've always wanted to play
flashlight games with you guys.
I brought my own flashlight.
Ooh, she brought
her own flashlight.
Whoa. Where did
you find the dog?
- Hey Kramer, buddy.
- So Ben, you've...
you've played
Nightlight before right?
- How does it...?
- Oh, by the way...
How does it work?
Is it like hide and seek?
- 'Cause...
- Robin.
'cause I am
awesome at that game.
Yo, Robin.
Do you work at the
Me?
Yeah.
Yeah, Cathy told me
that she thought
she saw you yesterday
cleaning counters or something.
No. No, I
wouldn't work there...
Memorize the Wikipedia page?
Funny.
Guys? How much
further are we going?
It's kind of
good marketing I guess.
Like, you're not cool unless
you kill yourself in Covington.
We're not going
to the church are we?
A f***ing possum.
Ah!
People come
here to die, it's so pretty.
Maybe it's the altitude.
Like it makes people do things
they don't want to do.
The only thing that makes me do
things I don't want to do...
is vagina.
Not mine.
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm cool.
No you're not.
Oh, my God. The
scariest sh*t I've ever heard.
What?
You can see dead bodies
just lying at
the bottom of the Crest.
Like that kid from
our school? What his name?
- Who?
- Ethan.
If I was gonna commit
suicide I'd do something cool.
Like drive my Vespa
into a tornado.
Chris.
Or, or swallow dynamite.
Can you keep walking please?
You can't just go
to some gay ass...
Keep moving...
If you kill yourself,
you deserve to
literally lose your life.
You know I mean?
OK.
That's not mean is it?
All right, come on let's go.
I don't know how you guys think
she's gonna play nightlight
if she can't even cross a log.
Yay, Robin.
I read this OMG fact How long
'til we're through walking?
That this forest is a great
place for blow jobs...
from ghosts.
Shut up.
Ghost blow jobs.
It's starting
to feel very "rape-y".
I've got an Oh My God fact,
that if we don't get
to the stump in 5 minutes
I'm going to throw
you off the Crest.
Whoa! what was that?
Did you just check out his ass?
What? No.
Where were you shining that?
I wasn't shining it anywhere?
Robin was shining
it right on your ass.
Are you checking out my ass?
No, I wasn't.
I wasn't at all.
You guys, I have a way
better ass than Ben.
Come on... I swim.
Have you ever heard
of Bad News Brian?
Argh!
- Oh, yeah yeah yeah.
- Yeah yeah.
He's so funny.
What is it?
He's hilarious
Or, Unlucky Brian.
Oh, Unlucky Brian.
Unlucky Brian.
Do you guys
follow the President?
Who's first?
I'll show you
guys how it's done.
Go do it.
Let's do this thing.
You girls are
going to regret this.
Here we go.
Go, go, go.
Whoo!
Ben, what happens
if we don't get to
your flashlight in time?
I don't know. That's never
happened before.
Ben, you're up.
Do this thing.
I'm up.
Why is he next?
That's not fair.
Chivalry is isn't dead.
- Who said?
Eleven!
Go Ben!
Amelia!
Do it, do it.
One, two, three, four, five...
I have to say I think Ben's run
was sexier than Chris'.
I am a sexy runner.
I got 12.
Twelve? OK.
Nia, go!
Go, go, go!
- What's up, girl?
- Whoo!
Yeah, let's go Nia.
- Whoo!
- Go girl!
Yeah. Get it.
- Yeah girl.
- This is fun.
- Thirteen, b*tches.
- What's she doing?
- Yo, come on.
- Come on.
Robin!
Hey! Come on!
It's getting closer.
OK?
- Go go go.
- Go
- Robin wait!
- Robin! Robin!
Get off the tracks.
Go go go go.
What the f***.
- Holy sh*t!
- Are you OK?
Your flashlight still works.
That's good, because you're
definitely going to need it.
That's what I mean.
Animals sense that sh*t.
Like earthquakes.
What? No.
No. No its like...
In Covington is like
scary evil sh*t.
So if Kramer starts
running from something,
I am getting the f*** outta...
That's it right there.
What?
This is it.
This is what Ritchie
was telling me about.
Want to see
something f***ing swag?
Is this where you were?
Robin?
Yeah. I think so.
Here?
Did we really come
All right. So watch.
gonna sneak up on me,
and turn this flashlight on.
Seriously?
Are you sure this
is where you were?
Because it only works
in specific places.
It's like a 4G.
Like a hot spot.
Maybe it's to the left.
- My left?
- No no no...
To the right, to the right.
Jesus.
Uh...
Back?
- Can we hurry up, please?
