The Kings of Summer Page #6

are going to go hunting,

you're going to need these.

Uh, they're masks that you wear

on the back of your head

to keep the animals

away from you.

To keep them from stalking you,

essentially.

This one supposed to be me?

Yeah.

Hello?

Whoa.

Whoa.

On now to the story

which has captivated

much of Tottenville County.

Where is Joseph Toy?

It's been more than four weeks

since the 15-year-old left home.

Toy's friend Patrick Keenan

returned home safely

this past Tuesday

with his family calling it,

quote, "a miracle."

Keenan claims

he hasn't seen Toy in weeks.

Toy is described as

approximately five-foot-seven,

with straight brown hair

and blue eyes.

Anyone with information

regarding Joseph Toy should call

the Tottenville County

Sheriff's Department.

Coming up:
Could caffeine

lead to longer, stronger...

Sure.

Every man has.

Well, there's good quitting

and bad quitting, Biaggio.

Quit drinking soda:

Good quitting.

I quit law school:

Bad quitting.

Do you see?

You should never quit

on a friend, son.

Of course you would.

Yeah, okay.

That's what I thought.

I- I don't eat cookies.

I'm sorry to bother you.

I, uh...

I can take you to Joe.

Joe?

- Dad?

- Joe!

- Dad! Dad, don't come in here!

- Are you all right?

- Joe, Joe, I'm not going to

hurt you. -Joe, I'm so sorry.

Seriously, do not come in.

There's a snake.

Whoa.

What do I do?

Kelly... look at me.

Be cool, all right?

Be calm.

- Be still.

- Whoa.

- Do not move.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

It can sense fear, all right?

Don't move.

- No, no, no!

- Easy, easy.

Joe! Joe, don't be an idiot!

Be calm.

That's good.

What the hell is that?

Biaggio?

Infamata.

- Oh, God.

- Oh, my living Christ.

Holy sh*t.

Oh...

Joe, no! No, no, Joe!

F*** you, snake!

He's awake.

- You're okay.

- Did it get me, man?

- Yeah, a little bit. Um...

- Small bite. -Okay.

Dad, take the head

and the body

and bury them in two separate

holes, do you understand?

The venom will attract

other snakes.

Okay.

- Dad, now!

- Okay.

Can you not just,

like, suck it out of him?

The venom has already

entered his bloodstream.

Okay, we got

to get him out of here.

- Oh! Oh!

- My God.

Maybe that's good.

Maybe that's good.

Maybe he got it out. Maybe he

got it out of his system.

Dad, can you bring the car up?

Yeah, I'll just...

I'll carry it, I guess,

or fly it over the forest.

No, I can't bring

the car up here!

Your jokes

are not funny right now!

Guys, stop yelling!

This isn't helping anything!

- He's getting worse. -Oh, my

God, he's really letting it go.

- You're pissing yourself, kid.

- Guys, he is burning up.

We need to get him

out of here.

You up for a little walk, buddy?

Pull the car up

as close as you can

to the mouth of the woods.

- You know how to put it

in gear? -F***, yeah.

Watch your mouth. Good, good.

Let's go! Let's go! Move!

Come here.

Did you have asparagus?

Hang on.

Uh... try these.

So...

you honestly believe

that you saw Heaven?

Yes.

There were many demons.

But I'm better now.

Stronger.

If I had to do it over,

I'd get bitten again.

I know you would, Biaggio.

You're a good friend.

Remember when I said,

"If I had to do it over,

I'd get bitten again"?

You... you just said that.

I was wrong.

I would never do that again.

Joe.

I...

I, um, got this for you

from the gift shop.

Uh, it has an eagle on it,

the snake's natural enemy.

"You're miles above the rest."

I- I guess they didn't

have one that said, uh,

"You saved me

from an agonizing death

by rapid blood oxygenation."

Uh, they did; Just no envelopes.

Look, Joe, just...

just because we're not dating

doesn't mean that I don't

care about you at all.

We didn't even know

if you were dead or not.

You know?

I would give you a hug

or something, but I don't know,

maybe you don't want

to be anywhere near me.

No.

A hug can work.

Hey.

Is he okay?

Uh, yeah.

Biaggio is in there.

Okay.

Okay.

See you, bro.

So, who's this Kelly?

Is that Patrick's girlfriend?

Yep.

Looking that way.

She looks like

a real heartbreaker.

Yes.

You were very good, Joe.

In the woods, before.

Good?

Yeah.

You were very good.

I was really proud of you.

Thanks.

Guess I'm a man now, huh?

You're getting there, bud.

No need to rush.

Stroke alert.

Fifth floor, building B.

Room 514.

Stroke alert.

So, uh...

how are things

between you and Carol?

Carol?

You're referring

to the spider woman

I found in the gutter?

That you found

in the gutter, yes.

- That's the one.

- The same. One and the same.

Things, uh...

things are actually

cooled down between

Carol and me.

It's baffling.

Just... I can't quite

pinpoint the exact moment

when everything went south.

- Yeah.

- It's a puzzle.

Sorry about that one.

It's okay.

It wouldn't have worked anyway.

She didn't...

I don't know, she...

she didn't make me nervous.

Not like your mom did, anyway.

And you need that.

Mm-hmm.

I know. I know.

What's going on over there?

Patrick's just being an idiot.
