our family-

and I just asked if I could

shoot a video instead.

Good. Now, that's a good idea.

That is a great idea.

- I hated doing papers. I hated it.

- Me too.

I really did.

- Hey, gang.

- Hey, Wendell.

- Hey.

- How are you?

- Good, Paul. How are you?

- Good, thanks.

Am I late?

What do you think,

Wendell?

David,

may I please be excused?

- We're not finished eating.

- No no no, let the boy go.

- Mm-hmm.

- He's probably bored out of his mind.

- Where are you going, Francis?

- I used to have two younger brothers,

so I understand these things.

They are a handful.

That was great, you guys.

Thanks a lot.

I know I'm not much

of a cook, but I do try.

Not to worry. You probably never

tasted my wife's cooking, huh?

Well, I'll be in the kitchen

cleaning.

Did you hear that?

Oh, it's probably cats...

f***ing.

Yep, that's cats

f***ing, all right-

getting after it.

What do you think, David?

Who'd have thought?

- Listen, that was a great dinner.

- Thank you.

- I'll talk to you soon.

- Thanks. Yeah.

- Thanks, David.

- Good night, Paul.

Good night.

Need more padding on that south wall.

You can hear 'em upstairs.

All right, so you're sure

that they're good?

Positive. On a road trip,

it's gonna be two, three weeks

before anyone notices.

- Healthy?

- Oh, yeah.

- I even took one for a test drive.

- Quit acting up, okay?

I don't want their faces showing up

on the 10:
00 news like last time.

- This could sustain us for awhile.

- Trust me.

All right.

Let's get to work.

- Help.

- Room service.

How are we holding up, girls?

Good?

Well, you're

looking good. Hi.

I hope this doesn't change

anything between us.

Wendell, what did I tell you?

Come on, sweetheart.

- Stop it!

- Come on.

Get up.

Oh, yeah!

Don't worry, Sam.

I still got something

right here, okay?

All right, let's

get you up, huh?

You're a live one,

aren't you?

Let's tie you down here.

Let's get you down here.

Is that too tight, sweetie?

- Sounds like he's changing.

- Hey. Hey, Lenny.

Poor guy's

probably hungry.

We'll feed him later.

Just go keep watch.

I'm gonna tuck you in

later, okay?

I got you.

Get in. I'll give you

a ride to school.

I saw some stuff

I want to shoot, Wendell.

Just get the f*** in.

God damn.

You gotta pop your cherry,

baby brother.

Huh?

So you can quit moping around,

playing with that camera.

Hey! Hey.

What, are you too good

to talk to me now?

- F*** you, Wendell!

- What?!

- What the- hey! Hey!

- F*** you!

- Keep it up, Francis!

- No!

Keep it up! We take care

of your sorry ass, all right?

We feed you, we put f***ing clothes

on your back,

and you do nothing in return

but complain.

Let go of me!

Dude, I- look,

I know it f***ing seems

f***ed up, all right?

But we do what we do

to survive.

All right?

You do anything to f*** up

our family- most importantly me-

I'll f***ing kill you, okay?

Hey! Okay?

Get the f*** out of my truck.

Shut the f*** up

before I gut you myself!

Bye, Lenny.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Yes, hello.

This is David Hamilton.

I'm calling on behalf

of Francis Hamilton.

Yes yes. Yeah,

he's not feeling too well,

got a case of the flu

or something.

Yeah, right right.

Oh, thank you,

I appreciate it.

Have a great day. Bye.

Please don't hurt her

anymore.

I'm not like them.

Then can you help us,

please?

I'm sorry, but I can't.

- Please.

- I don't even have a key.

Do something, please.

I can give you

something to drink.

Do you want

something to drink?

She needs some, please.

I don't have a key.

She just needs water.

She's dying.

I have to go.

Someone will be here soon.

Please.

The top drawer, eh?

You need a fake ID?

Where did you get all those?

I know a guy in the city.

You want one?

I won't charge you.

Yeah.

Let's see.

DRIVER LICENSE:

Here we go- Dani Cummings.

Oh, look she's an organ donor.

How sweet!

Seems about your height...

- Blonde hair.

- That's okay.

What are you little girls doing?

We are just getting comfortable

and throwing in a flick.

You wanna watch?

I'd love to watch.

Where were you, Francis?

I was just down by the river

filming some stuff.

Pretty late, huh?

Yeah, I guess.

Well, I'm going out

for a little bit.

So if you need anything...

All right.

All right. I'll see you later.

Turn it off, turn it off!

It's just a movie, sweetheart.

I thought you liked

this kind of stuff.

Well, I do.

It's just these movies

are too real sometimes.

Kitty, if monsters were real,

they'd be a lot different

than they are on TV.

Well, I just can't stand

being scared.

Well, what do you

wanna do now?

Let's play a game.

What kind of game?

Let's play truth or dare.

What?

Around here we only play

dare or double dare,

if you can handle it.

- What about truth?

- No truth.

Dares just keep doubling

until someone gets hurt.

- Play nice, Wendell.

- I am.

Okay, Kitty,

you can even go first.

All right.

- Dare or double dare?

- Me?

If you can handle it.

Dare.

I dare you...

to finish your beer

in one drink.

Okay, my turn.

Kitty,

dare or double dare?

Double dare.

Double dare?

I double dare you...

to...

make out with Darlene.

You think I won't?

Well, if you don't,

you lose.

I mean, we could play Scrabble

or something, if you want.

Not bad.

- You surprise me.

- I'm full of them.

Aren't we all?

Okay, Kitty.

It's your turn again.

All right, Darlene...

- dare or double dare?

- Triple dare.

- Triple dare? Come on-

- Triple dare.

Okay...

I triple dare you and Wendell

to make out.

Huh?

Make out with her?

You are a-

just a kinky little thing,

aren't you?

I win.

I don't think so.

Come on in.

- Nice house.

- Thank you.

- And the flowers-

- Yeah.

This is the sort

of fall foliage...

Oh, yeah.

This is the wood-

woodland room.

This is nice.

I like that frame right there.

- Thank you, thank you.

- Very nice work.

Thank you.

I picked it out myself.

Very nicely hung.

We really shouldn't be here.

- Why is that?

- Just-

get in trouble.

We could go to your room

and be quiet.

I don't know, it's kind of-

Come on.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Okay. Just, we gotta be

really quiet, okay?

Okay.

No. No!

No!

No!

Help!

So, sure you

don't want some?

I'm buying.

Pretty good!

No, I'm fine,

thank you.

So...

what did you want

to talk about?

It uh- you know, something

at school? Something?

My f***ing family, just-

I'm sorry?

Yeah, Paul, it's school and stuff,

you know?

- Yeah.

- Teachers and stuff, you know?

You know, I don't know if I ever

told you about this, but-

my dad, when he was

an army captain and-

we moved from base to base,

it seemed like-

Christ, every-

every year or so.

So I know what

it's like to be-

Francis.

Hey, I'm over here, pal.

Yo, Francis, I'm over here.

Francis.

I'm gonna go, Paul.

I have homework and stuff,

you know?

- Just-

- All right.

Well, I'Il-

I'll stop by in a couple of days

and I'Il-

I'll check up on you, all right?
