Sleepwalkers Page #2

that we never really see.

My-my favorite picture's

over there.

Which one?

Uh...

um.... that one.

I like rocks.

You do?

You know,

I'd really like to see...

How you see a photograph

before you take it, and...

I mean, you don't

even know me, but...

well, um, actually, I was gonna

shoot at homeland tomorrow if...

well, if you want to come.

What's homeland?

Oh, it's a... it's an old graveyard.

Really?

Yeah, it's neat.

I love old graveyards.

Sweetheart, I...

mom!

Oh, I'm sorry, dear.

I-I didn't know you had company.

Oh, this is Charles Brady.

This is my mom.

Charles. Um, he gave

me a ride home.

Oh, that's nice.

Charles.

- Very nice to meet you.

- Likewise.

Well, we should go.

We were just going.

Um, so we'll do that tomorrow?

Yes.

Okay.

I'll walk you out.

Okay.

So you two

are going out tomorrow?

Yes.

Uh, Tanya's gonna show me...

Homeland. Shhh.

Oh, really?

You see, I do rubbings too.

Not quite as fine as yours,

but I figure there must be some

old slate gravestones out there.

Uh, yes, as a matter of fact,

in the old section

near the woods.

Tell me, Charles,

do you use powder or stick?

I use stick.

Usually a number five.

Really? Don't you

find that a little hard?

Yeah, but, uh, I'm clumsy.

You know, powder's so messy.

Tell me, Charles,

where do you live?

66 wicker street.

- Your father, what does he do?

- He's dead, Mrs. robertson.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It was a long time ago.

Well, um, the brands will be

coming to dinner tomorrow night.

So be back by 5:
00, okay?

Okay.

She will be.

How'd you know all that stuff?

I learned it a long

time ago, from my mom.

See you tomorrow.

Okay.

?? It's a monster

it's a monster??

?? It's a monster

it's a monster??

?? Can't you see

it's a monster??

?? It's a monster??

Mr. fallows! Hi.

Hello, Charles.

Checking out

your new environment?

Boring, isn't it?

- Disneyland for cows.

- But for human beings?

Well, I like it.

It's kind of peaceful.

Reminds you of Ohio, I suppose?

Yeah, well, you know...

no, actually, I don't, Charles. I don't know.

And you don't, either.

There is no

paradise falls in Ohio.

Your transcripts

are also fakes.

Clever fakes, but fakes.

Anything to say?

You're mistaken.

Oh, no, I'm not.

But you are, Charles, if you think

you can wiggle out of this.

I don't know who you are, but I know

you're not who you say you are.

If this is blackmail, Mr. fallows, I

think you've picked the wrong guy.

This car is the only

expensive thing I've got.

I'm kinda sentimental about it.

I don't think I can sell it.

Ow! Sit till I'm

through with you.

Your generation is so mercenary, Charles.

Money this, money that.

Well, money is not

the only medium of exchange.

You're right, Mr. fallows. People really should

learn to keep their hands to themselves.

Here's yours.

I'm sorry!

Come on, boy.

Get the bad guy for daddy.

You know you want him.

Get this bad guy.

There you go.

There you go, clovis.

Come on, boy. Come on, boy.

Get the bad guy.

Get the bad guy.

Get the bad guy.

Come on, clovis.

Here we go.

Get that motherf***er!

All right!

Good boy, clovis!

Yeah, that's a good boy.

Huh, clovis?

Well, clovis,

looks like we found ourselves

a goddamn speedster.

Unit three calling home.

You in there, Laurie? Come on.

Andy, what you up to?

Bye.

Got ourselves one lawless perpetrator

heading east out here on gray road.

Copy? Copy. Need any help? Bye.

Nah. I think I can handle

this one all by myself.

What the... Jesus!

Oh, sh*t!

Jesus, no!

Everybody okay?

Go get him!

Son of a b*tch. Report, unit three.

Need a location.

I'm out on pond road,

Laurie, still in pursuit.

Bastard almost ran down

a little girl!

I think hetried

to run her down!

I think he's playing with me!

Get me some backup! Bye.

Pull over!

Pull over, motherf***er!

Pull over!

What the f***?

What's going on out there, Andy?

Please respond! Not now, Laurie.

Christ, clovis! What's he got in there?

A supercharger?

I lost him.

How in the hell did I do that?

Stop looking at me.

Stop looking at me.

Stop looking at me,

you f***ing cat!

Sh*t, clovis.

I know just how you feel.

Can I tell you something, ira?

It's kind of weird, but, uh...

Horace, if you laugh,

I'm gonna break your jaw.

What is it?

Well, you know how I told you I couldn't see

him because of how fast we were going, right?

Yeah. Well, that

wasn't entirely true.

- How's that?

- Well, we were both doing 90.

I pulled right up beside him. We might

as well have been standing still!

- So you did get a look at him.

- Well, no, no, I didn't.

'Cause... see...

He didn't have no face.

Andy, you got plenty

of sick time comin'.

Horace, shut your pie hole.

I-I-I mean his face!

It was like a... a blur!

Like... sh*t, I don't know.

Maybe you got some grit

in your eye.

Makes 'em water.

Yeah, I guess maybe

that could've been it.

Andy, do me a favor.

When you do get this stampeder,

just leave that part out when you

talk to the county prosecutor, okay?

Anything else, Andy?

Anything at all?

Yeah, there was something.

Clovis here got a good look at

him, and he didn't like him.

He didn't like him

one little bit.

And it was the other guy too.

He didn't like clovis!

It-it was like he was scared

of him. Scared of a cat!

Hmm.

I'm gonna look for this guy

on my way home,

and I'm gonna find him.

I'm gonna find him!

Oh!

You didn't get it?

No.

Why didn't you get anything?

I just couldn't.

What about the girl?

It wasn't the right time.

Tomorrow. I'll get it tomorrow.

What are you talking about?

I'm starving, Charles!

I need it, and you

have to get it for me!

Oh, my poor baby!

What happened?

- What always happens, mom?

- Someone saw you?

The deputy had a cat.

Maybe for a second or two.

He won't believe what he saw.

No, he probably won't.

Somebody will find the teacher

that I dumped in the woods.

It's already started

again, mom!

Don't worry. Don't worry.

But I have to feed you.

You'll see her tomorrow. What

if something happens to me?

You'll starve!

We haven't even seen

another sleepwalker.

Oh, we aren't the last.

You don't know that.

Yes, I do!

I can feel the others.

You'll feed tomorrow.

And then you'll feed me,

and then we will leave.

Nothing's gonna happen.

We just have to take care

of each other.

Okay.

Remember, honey,

I want you home by 5:00.

Make sure Charles

understands that, okay?

Yes, mommy. I'll be sure

to pack extra didies too.

Nobody loves a smart-ass, Tanya.

She is smart, dear.

And I'm smart enough to know this is her

first date with the new boy in town.

We do understand each

other, don't we, tan?

You know, mom, I think we do.

Good.

Five o'clock?

Five o'clock.

Bye, darlin'.

Bye, dad.

Have a good time, honey.

I hope so!

Are we awful?

Terrible. God,

I've become my mother.

Well, you met this kid.

Is he okay?

Yeah, he's terrific.

He's utterly charming.

Does it have to be her?

You care more for her
