The Happening: The Hard Cut Page #2

---

Thanks. Hmm...

Elliot, can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah.

Show me your tickets,

ladies and gentleman.

- You told him about our fight?

- No.

- Why did he say that?

- He guessed!

I love you, Elliot. But I don't like to put

out my feelings for everyone to see it.

I'm not that type of person.

These are our problems.

I'm upset.

I'll cool off. By the time

we get there I'll be fine. Okay?

Fine.

I'm going to get in the train.

We're not going to get to

sit together anyway.

Okay.

- Hey, babe.

- Hi, aunt Alma.

- How are you doing?

- Hanging in there.

Me too.

- What's wrong with you?

- What?

You are wrong about her.

She just needs time to figger it out.

- Don't be all sensitive.

- Just give her a chance!

Okay, fine.

If you don't want my help...

- I don't want you help!

- Okay. I heard you.

Jess, can you ask your

dad for my ticket, please?

Thank you.

See you on the train, Jess.

Here we go.

Is mommy going to meet

us at grandma's?

Mommy is going to get

on the next train.

You know she's aways late.

Come on, come on.

I know. I know.

Chilly isn't it today, Sal?

Maybe a little.

Hey, it's me.

I'm on a train.

I just want to say something,

okay?

You have got to stop calling me.

You're acting like the

"Fatal Attraction" guy here.

I feel like I'm going to take

a shower...

and see your silhouette

on the shower curtain!

We ate Tiramissu together.

That is it.

I told you that it would be it.

You have got to chill out!

What? When?

In Philadelphia?

- What's the news?

- Philadelphia was just attacked!

Oh, my God. Evette!

Call mommy! Call mommy!

Honey?

Honey, where are you?

What?

What? I can't hear you.

I said I can't hear you.

Text me!

Text me!

Can't hear you!

They think it started in

Rittenhouse Square Park.

Another park?

She got on a bus going

to New Jersey.

- I want to talk to her.

- She got out.

She's headed to a town

of Princeton.

Let me talk to her.

- Are you okay?

- They said Boston got hit too!

- Where did you hear that?

- A friend from work.

- What about Evette?

- She made out on a bus.

What the hell is going on, Elliot?

I honestly don't know.

Now, what?

We just stopped.

I don't know.

Sir?

The train service has

been discountinued.

This will be the last stop

for all passengers.

Hey, what do you mean?

Where are we?

- Filbert, Pennsylvania.

- Filbert?

Does anybody know

where that is?

Why are you giving me one useless

piece of information at a time?

What's going on?

Hey, why would you just stop?

You can't just leave us here!

Sir, we lost contact.

With whom?

Everyone.

I'm scared.

I want mommy.

Don't be silly.

We are safe here.

Okay?

Sorry. She whispers

when she gets scared.

We are so much the same, Jess.

I don't like to show my emotions either.

She's shivering.

I know. She's never

right without her mom.

They are not saying anything.

We're stuck here.

Is Jess okay?

She's not talking.

We are in a small town, Jess.

Nothing will happen to us here.

Just stay here, all right?

I'm over there.

What? You want to come

with me? You can come with...

Go, go. I got it.

Go get the milk.

Yeah.

You know that everyone

gives off energy, right?

It's scientifically proven.

They got these cameras that

can record what color you are...

when you're feeling

different things.

People that are angry give off a different

color than people that are sad.

See this ring?

This ring can supposedly tell

you what you're feeling.

Let's see what you're

feeling right now.

Oh, yellow!

Well that's cool. That means

you're about to laugh.

I'm not making it up.

That's what yellow means.

You must be about to laugh

or something.

Something good's probably

about to come out.

We'll wait.

I got all day.

Oh, my God.

There it is. Cool!

That ring really works.

It's amazing.

Oh, my God!

Look at this.

My sister send it to me.

It was taken as hour ago

at the Philadelphia Zoo.

Mother of God!

What kind of terrorists are these?

They are not sure it's

terrorists now!

Moments ago, an official

statement from the Government...

moved away an official position

that this was a terrorist attack.

Authorities are now feeling, by

the number of incidents been reported...

that a terrorist responsibility

is becoming less and less likely.

The event appears to be

limited to the North East...

where smaller and smaller

towns are being attacked.

Where are we?

The affected area now is most

from Massachusetts to Maryland.

We are in the center.

Everything okay?

If we stay here,

we are going to die here.

Whatever this is...

it looks like is not occurring

about 90 miles from here.

Let's go.

Hey!

Excuse me, sir?

Sir, can we get a ride, please?

We don't have any transportation.

We're stuck here!

Sir, did you hear what I said?

We don't have any transportation.

We have a little girl with us. Please!

- Just go.

- Sir!

You are not just going to...

Can you believe how

crappy people are?

There is a car.

Hi.

I run a plant nursery

up the street.

We are picking a few thing

from home and heading...

wherever this isn't happening.

- We have room.

- We have two others.

That's okay.

Julian!

Is Julian okay?

We got a ride.

He can fit all of us.

Elliot, I can't get

Evette on the phone.

- How long?

- It's been about two hours.

She was on that bus

headed to Princeton.

This car is going to pick up

friends and family there.

They say they can

squeeze one more.

Gotta go!

Look, think real carefully

about this.

She was looking for a

birthday present for Jess.

Some kind of dollhouse.

That's why she wasn't with us.

I'm just going to get her, and bring

her back, and I'll find you guys.

I just... I need you to

take Jess. Okay?

She will be a lot safer with you.

Don't do this to me.

I'm doing my best not

to fall down.

The probability of Princeton

not been hit is good.

Yeah.

Do you want me to throw you some

figures and percentages...

- ...so we both feel better?

- Please!

- Go get her, Jules. Okay?

- That's just some weird event.

We'll be fine.

We'll find you guys real soon...

I have to go.

I got her, Julian...

Don't take my daughter's

hand unless you mean it!

I'm going to go get mommy.

Hold our picture.

Take a look around.

We'll be ready soon.

We're packing hot dogs

for the road.

You know, hot dogs

get a bad rep.

They gotta cool shape,

they got protein.

You like hot dogs, right?

By the way, I think I know

what's causing this.

- You do?

- It's the plants.

They can release chemicals.

You like hot dogs,

don't you?

Okay, babies.

We are going to be going...

but we will be back soon,

okay?

Plants react to human stimulus,

they've proved it in tests.

You get the mustard?

Don't look outside.

Stop it!

Stop it! Just look at me.

Just keep looking at me.

Close the vents.

I'm going to give you

a math riddle, okay?

And you're going to

tell me the answer.

What?

How much would you have if I said

I would pay you a penny on the first day...
