Silent Warnings Page #3

- Oh my god!

- I don't like this.

It's okay... It's one of them.

Hey! Y'all seen any aliens?

You motherf...

Stupid rednecks!

F***!

What a wonderful hometown

you have, Layne.

Yeah, they gonna come burn

a cross for an encore?

Not while I'm around...

At least we know who's

making the damned crop circles.

Yeah? I wouldn't be so sure...

I'll talk to the Sheriff tomorrow.

Not too many people have

a truck like that.

Hell, Layne, I thought they all

had trucks like that...

Yes, it is.

It's a tragedy, Mrs. Sanders.

I know. I have...

I have dogs, too.

I will. I...

As soon as I can.

Yes, ma'am.

Missing dogs.

I'd hate to keep them chained up too,

but what can you do?

What can I do for you?

Ah, yesterday evening, some guys

in a monster truck were...

...tearing-ass through my corn field.

- Craig Burton.

Did he have a longhaired

kid with him?

- Yeah, he did actually.

- Lance Wallace.

You want to file a complaint?

You know what, he didn't really

hurt anything,

just more or less pissed me off.

Almost had some police work there.

I'll have a talk with them.

Anything else I can do?

Yes, something else is

bothering me, sherriff.

The other night, my friends and I

were in the field and...

...we found something.

- The circle.

Yeah.

But there was a new one

the night before last.

- New one?

- Bigger than the old one.

Look, I know it's probably just the guys

messing around in the truck and all, but...

No. It's not their style.

They are not creative types.

They probably failed geometry too.

Well, whatever it is, it's just freaking

some of my friends out.

Tell them to relax.

You know, I mean.

Look, local kids they like to

blow off some steam,

you know tip cows, climb water towers,

you know better than anybody.

Like a circle in the corn

don't mean jack.

Then why did you tape it off?

The night Joe died,

he came into town.

He started going off about strange

things, you know, about...

...the lights in the sky

and aliens, crop circles.

He came down to the local

and started threatening people,

so they called me in.

I came down, I calmed him down and

I followed him home...

and at the turn off, I let him go.

Now, I know, I should've run him in,

I should've let him sleep it off, but...

...I didn't and I'm sorry about that.

- Listen, it's not your fault.

- I'm still sorry.

Yeah?

Mrs... Mrs. Sanders.

Hold on... one second.

Layne, just cause he lost it

there at the end, doesn't mean...

...he wasrt the same person.

Okay.

I'll talk to you later.

Yes, Ma'am.

God, it's a beautiful night!

So, what are you thinking about?

Joe and I used to do all these things

up here together, you know.

It's strange when you have a memory

of somebody, an idea.

You haven't seen them in a while

and when you revisit it,

you know? It's tainted by what people

say or how the person has acted...

...and it changes things

on how you viewed that person.

I don't know.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I do.

My grandma.

When my parents split up,

she moved in with us.

She was in her late sixties, I think.

I don't know, out of nowhere, just,

she started dressing up

in the middle of the day...

...and she'd sit on the couch,

with her purse in her lap.

I asked her what she

was waiting for.

And she said she was waiting

for her sister...

...to come pick her up and take her

to the "picture show."

Her sister died back in the forties.

I don't know. After that,

it just got worse...

...and worse, and she never

came back.

God! It was like she found...

...some warm incredible memory to

escape into,

and she just never came back.

And there was nothing we could do...

...so my mom put her in a home.

And she died there.

Alone.

- I'm sorry.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry about Joe.

God, I miss her!

Oh, come on!

Just cut those ducks.

- Don't I always get this card?

- Yeah, but that's a good one.

- Oh, I see.

- Wait until I finish.

What's that?

We have to start in the center first.

Forget that. What's that?

What does this mean?

You know what I don't... I don't think

I did it right. I cut the cards wrong.

- Yeah.

- Are you sure?

Yeah. I did something wrong. I don't know.

- It's not your fault.

- Are you sure?

- How about I just do your nails?

- Alright.

- Ok?

- Sounds good.

God, this guy sucks!

Stephen!

- Stephen!

- Yeah?

- You coming to bed?

- No, I'm watching the game, sweetie.

- Ok, I'm gonna do Iris' nails.

- Ok.

So, what color?

What do you think about orange with

green highlights?

I promise you, orange is gonna...

...go perfectwith your hair.

- Orange! Great!

- I'll go get it.

- Sure?

- Yeah, don't worry about it!

- Ok!

- Hi.

- Hi.

- How are you doing?

- Good!

- What was that?

- What was what?

- That!

- Aah! Maurice!

He's... kind of yummy, isn't he?

Are you checking him out?

Well, I think he's checking me out too.

I mean, every time I look at him,

he's looking at me.

- And?

- And, well,

he's got a body on him, doesn't he?

You know? I don't really look

at him like that.

Ok!

There's not enough orange.

Ok, so we'll do it blue for your eyes.

You know what? I'm not really

up for it tonight, I'm kind of tired.

- You sure?

- Yeah. Maybe tomorrow?

- Ok! No problem!

- Thanks!

Well, then, you just have

sweet dreams about Maurice.

Well, have fun with Stephen,

but don't make too much noise,

cause I'd like to sleep this evening.

- Sleep tight!

- You too, babe.

I'll see you in the morning.

Take it off, take it off...

Damn, girl, you...

Ok! Damn, girl!

Look at that ass!

Oh, yeah! Ok, come on!

No you didn't, girl?

Oh, sh*t!

- What? What the hell are you doing?

- Come one! Come on! Get away!

- Get out! Get the hell away from me!

- Come on! Sshh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Look, man!

You've got five seconds to tell me what

the hell you're doing.

Hey, Jesus, guys!

There was something at the window.

What?

Ok, there was something

at the window.

How do you know if you

werert in here? Huh? Huh?

You were watching me?

- You sick creep, you were watching me?

- That's okay...

- Stop!

- Calm down!

Maurice, you wanna tell me

what's going on here?

- Is there anything out there?

- No!

We're on the second floor, how could

there been something in the window?

There wasrt anything outside

the window, was there?!

Ok, I saw something, I promise

you I saw something.

I know I busted through the room

door and I'm sorry.

I did not mean to scare you, ok?

I did not mean to scare you but there

was something outside the door.

- What, an owl?

- I, I don't know... It was something...

it was like... it was like a person, ok?

It had different shapes and a weird body,

a weird body. It was like a person.

Why the hell were you even

looking in her room?

He was watching me undress.

No... Ok, yes!

Yeah, I was watching you undress.

I heard you saying my name, ok,

you were saying...

- Please, please, please!

- I said I was sorry!

- Ok, man, I said I was sorry!
