I'm going out there.

Let's just wait here... please!

You stop making this into

a thing. Honestly, stop.

Don't get weird on me. I'm just

to get out of the car...

And you never listen to me.

Please don't! Please?

We can't just leave him

out there.

You're an idiot!

You think you're so f***ing

smart, don't you?

Well, maybe I feel a little less

with you being here.

I told you, over and over

and over again...

Don't touch my f***ing beer!

It's my house!

It's my f***ing beer!

It's my f***ing house!

No.

It doesn't know we're in here.

You don't know that.

Ssh. Ssh.

If we can get his keys,

we can get out of here.

dropped them.

to the road...

So you can get aw...

So you can get away.

Take it. Take it.

We can't go out there.

Look, they can't... they won't

know we're here.

They can't see you down here.

I've got a plan.

I'm gonna need you.

I'm gonna need you

to be brave, okay?

I need you to be brave.

I need you to be braver

than you've ever been.

Kathy I can distract it.

I can use the fire,

I can use it.

So I can go out there,

and it'll follow me...

So that you can go out there

and you can get away.

It'll get to you.

are for, right?

Don't lie to me.

I'm not.

Yes, you are.

Yes, I am.

Listen to me.
