help you show me that place, okay?

Bastards!

Cut it out!

We'll be back for you later,

Harold.

- Don't worry, Harold.

- You'll get your turn.

I don't want no turn. I don't want

no trouble, all right?

You're already in trouble.

You gotta help her. You've gotta

help my sister.

- The hell with those guys, man.

- They're gonna rape her!

They're gonna rape her!

I know somebody who could fix

those mother f***ers, man.

What do you want?

You wanna die?

You want to, don't you?

If somebody wants to die,

I'll help him.

- Who wants to die first?

- We need your help now!

Hate rises!

Hey brother, don't you know?

Be happy in the f***ing jungle!

- We need your help, Junior.

- You sure do!

They're raping her!

- Did you say rape, man?

- Yeah, man, rape, man.

My sister Franny.

Your sister?

Black arms of the law!

Junior had a sister, man.

And some dudes raped her one time.

And they hit her with

an iron bar.

Black arms of the law!

Come on. Let's go, go!

Come on, move.

Come on, go, go!

It's right in here somewhere.

Franny!

It's just another Halloween, kid.

Hey, listen.

Do you know what?

When somebody touches you...

and you really don't wanna be touched,

that's not really being touched.

You still got you inside of you.

And nobody has touched you.

Not really.

You still got you inside of you.

- You belive that.

- I don't know.

No, I'm fine. I'll be okay.

I wanna get some sleep and

I wanna take a bath.

You can have all the baths

you want.

I want Sorrow to come and sleep

with me. Have you seen him?

- Sorrow? Sorrow?

- Come on.

Where is Sorrow?

What happened to him?

Call if you need me, honey.

Franny, can I get you anything?

Yesterday and most of today.

I love you.

They expellled them, John.

All they did was expel them.

I'd like to get my hands

on that Chipper Dove just once.

You oughta have a hundred pounds

on here, but I'm gonna start with 80.

Okay.

- You got it?

- Yeah.

Can you imagine them trustees?

They actually suggested

we don't take any action

till after the Exeter game.

Sh*t!

I told them right out.

Be much better off losing the whole

backfield, than you were losing me

after what I would have done

to the little son-of-a-b*tch.

I'd split his bag and run

his foot through it.

Then I get to think...

What's the point?

What's the point to all this now?

All right, take a break. Then

come back and do some more.

Thank God, you're taking an interest

in your body.

You're the first one in this family

who has done it.

What's up, Frank?

Jesus God, Frank!

Where did you get him?

I got him at the Vet's before

he was incinerated.

I'm gonna take him to the lab

and I'm gonna fix it for Franny

in time for Christmas.

I'm going to have Sorrow stuffed.

- I don't think she's gonna like it.

- Yes, she will. Don't tell anybody.

Where the hell's going Frank

with that garbage?

All the trash cans are full.

Damn fool must be going all the way

to the dump.

Jesus, that boy is queer.

Okay, kid.

Do about ten of these. I'm gonna

get some water and I'll be right back.

'Get obsessed, stay obsessed',

Grandpa always said.

You're pushing yourself

too hard.

Kid, it's not gonna happen again.

I promise you.

- Franny. You wanna go to the movies?

- Maybe.

Good.

Does Franny love Junior Jones?

She likes him.

He's a friend.

- How many days till Christmas?

- Ten.

Look what I bought for Mom.

She'll never wear it.

- What did you get for me?

- I'm not telling you.

Ooo, the hope.

Sorrow?

- Sorrow?

- It's Grandpa.

Don't look at me. Sorrow's still

in the lab. He's not finished yet.

The dog was here. Sorrow...

- He was here. He tried to kill me.

- No, you just had a nightmare, Pop.

I saw him.

He was here. I...

I could almost touch him.

That old rug's got so much dog hair,

your grandpa can still smell Sorrow.

Get back to you nap. That's it.

Go to sleep now.

Merry Christmas, Grandpa.

Merry Christmas.

I thought we'd lift some before

we open presents.

Take a day off, will you?

Jesus Christ, it's Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Merry f***ing Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

You can't stuff Sorrow and

you can't kill Sorrow.

This was the first death

in our family.

I couldn't get it out of my head.

I made me imagine the deaths

of the others.

How do you dry something

that's wet?

What's wet, Egg?

Hair.

I wanna talk to you.

- Where is he?

- Where is who?

- Sorrow.

- Sorrow's dead.

Egg, I know he's dead.

I wanna know where he is.

Sorrow's with Grandpa Bob.

How would you dry hair?

How about a hair dryer?

- One of those things that Franny has?

- Mom has one, too.

Yeah, but Franny's is bigger.

I bet you it's hotter too.

No one feels very much like

New Year's Eve

so let's not decorate

or anything.

- A party's a party.

- Let's just have a good time.

Right. We've got a live band

coming.

An almost live band.

Move that mike back, will you?

And don't be an a**hole!

Hickeys!

How's Junior Jone's sister

getting back to Philadelphia?

- I guess she's got a car.

- A car?

That means she's older

than I am.

Don't get so scared. It's reasonable

to assume she's black, too.

Welcome to the Hotel

New Hampshire.

Here comes your main chance.

- Hi John-John.

- Hi, Titsie.

Hey, the fun is here.

Here's the fun, man.

Sabrina.

Your weight lifter.

Hi.

I thought you said Franny had

an older brother.

Hey, he's old enough.

There's gonna be a live band.

Oh, you don't say?

Do you dance?

No.

That's Lilly.

Hello.

Hi. I'm a dwarf. I'm not ever

gonna grow any bigger.

That's interesting.

- That's Egg.

- Why do they call him Egg?

Because he began as an egg

and he's still an egg.

I see.

Jesus! How much

are we paying them?

Don't worry. Everyone will have

a good time.

If we could start anew

I wouldn't hesitate.

I'd gladly take you back

and tempt the hand of fate.

Tears on my pillow.

Pain in my heart.

Caused by you.

Love is not a gadget.

Love is not a toy...

I know what you're thinking.

My advice.

If you're gonna pull out on somebody,

tell them first.

Switch.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Sure it's fine.

You're not doing bad, John, really.

- Really?

- Yes. It's fine.

Thank you.

If you like that girl, why don't you

put a move on her?

I couldn't put a move on anyone.

I don't know how.

Well I'll be. Your sister is a slut.

And what about you?

You could introduce yourself

to Miss Tuck's affections by...

by offering to take her bags

up to her room.

Where are your bags?

Well...

Good night.

You didn't even try to kiss me.

I'm sorry. I'm not into kissing yet.

Never apologize.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Now.

Watch the tooth contact.

And don't try to ram me with

your tongue. Okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

I'm sorry.

Sh*t!

I always wanted to know how

it would feel to kiss without them.

- Do you like it?

- It's...

deeper.

Yes. But is it better?

Yes.

Yes, ma'am.

Well, you are ready for Bitty.

- Go to it!

- Yes, ma'am.

Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five.
