with me.

I've got some things

I got to pick up.

Oh, no. Major's orders, Ray.

Otto, get out here!

I'm- I'm right

at the good part.

Now, goddamn it, the major

doesn't want to be kept waiting.

All he does is wait...

and watch some girls.

Hey. Have you been

sneaking around again?

Now, I told you-

Now get moving'.

We got customers.

Well, afternoon, George.

Hi, Pat.

- Hey, you leaving' today, huh?

- Mm-hmm.

Anything else for you today?

Uh, yeah. Just some deodorant.

No sweat.

Get it?

Hi, girls. Hi. Hey, you.

Finished already? Yeah, we finally

got that banner stretched out.

What you doing', Deputy,

guarding the store? Yeah.

Going to be at the dance,

won't you? I'll try.

Try real hard.

Hey, how you doing', girls?

Now, what the hell you doing'

still out here?

I don't know, George.

Sometimes I wonder why

I've taken care of him so long.

Well, I- I got to go

tend to the customers.

This time, uh, why don't you

use those minnows for bait, huh?

Bye, Pat.

Are they graduating this year? Yeah.

They're friends

of Pam MacDonald.

They don't seem like her type.

Now, remember,

if you have any problems, call me.

Have a good time.

I will.

Hi.

Hi.

What do you think? This one? I like it.

Or how about this one?

I don't know

what the difference is.

I mean, with Carl around, it's not

going to stay on too long anyway, right?

Yeah.

He is a real animal.

Any of you Pritcher girls

got any rolling papers?

Uh, I think I do.

Thank you very much. I'll

roll you a couple for later.

Carl gave them to me.

Hey, you're not going to

mope around tonight, are you?

This is everybody's

last night together.

And some of us will never

see each other again.

Sherry.

I'm worried about Mark.

He'll come to the dance.

I know. It's not that.

It's- It's that guy who stabbed

that man in Columbus.

I thought you said

they're about to catch him.

Yeah, that's what Mark says.

I wish the sheriff was here.

Hey, Lisa.

I just spilled nail polish

all over your dress.

Yeah, you do and I'll kill you.

Lisa, you'd better close those shades. You're

going to give old man Chatham another stroke.

Are you kidding'?

That old guy's harmless.

He can't even get

out of his wheelchair.

Yeah, but there's nothing wrong

with his eyes.

He's been staring at us all semester.

Oh, yeah?

Lisa!

Well, he ought to be able

to stand up now.

You're awful.

Sherry. You want me to wait?

I will if you hurry.

No. That's okay.

Carl gets real horny

if I make him wait.

Now who's the animal, huh?

See you later.

Bye.

Do you always walk backwards?

I thought I heard someone.

I think you need this

a whole lot more than I do.

That's okay. Maybe it's that dangerous

criminal you were telling' us about.

Maybe he was trying

to knock over Kingsley's.

Lisa. Come on, you guys.

Let's go.

Jesus, Carl!

You scared the sh*t out of me.

Door was open.

You know how I get

when I have to wait around.

Maybe I was expecting

somebody else.

Fat chance.

Dont just stand there.

Shut the door.

Aren't you going to

ask me in?

How fast can you

take off your clothes?

Start your stopwatch, coach.

Hurry up, Carl.

I'm turning into a goddamn prune.

I know well be together

The cake's over here.

I hope it's

big enough for you. There.

That should do.

Come on, hot stuff.

Let's go dance.

There you go. You got

a piece of that for me?

Miss Al.

You having' a good time?

Hi.

Hi.

Oh. Okay. If you don't hurt yourself

then you'll hurt someone else

Sure.

Sometimes you learn things

the hard way

Take the path

of least resistance

Make it easy on yourself

How you doing', honey cup?

Hi, Paul. I know I

can do the distance

It doesn't matter

what they say

You know where you're going

but you don't know what's there

Sometimes you learn things

the hard way

So you take the high road

When the low road is faster

Hi.

Sometimes you do things

the hard way

- Try not to hurry

- Well, Mr. Turner, what do you think?

Oh, it's exciting.

Just like the good old days.

Except I had more hair then.

Just take the path

of least resistance

Make it easy on yourself

Guess you've been around here

longer than anyone.

Yeah. Forty years.

Good having the girls back.

Makes me feel young again.

Thanks for the dance.

Aw, come on.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

Deputy, that was fun.

Oh.

Uh

- Where you going'? I'm going back to the dorm to change.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. Okay?

Don't be sorry.

But when they find out

what you've got

Hi, Lizzy.

Sherry? It's only me,

and I'm closing the door.

Sh*t.

Anne! Anne!

Betty! Betty!

Help! Help!

No!

Let go!

Please!

Stop it! No! No!

Please let go!

Mark!

What's wrong?

Oh, God. What happened? What happened?

It's all right. What's the matter?

Mark. Somebody was chasing me.

Somebody was chasing me,

and Major Chatham grabbed me.

Major Chatham?

Uh-huh.

Mark, he hurt my arm.

What the hell was Major Chatham

doing down here? I don't know.

And he

- And he chased you? No. I don't know who chased me.

All I saw was, um, boots

and some kind of uniform.

Are you okay? All right,

I'm going to take a look around.

My jeeps right there. Stay there.

I'll be right back.

Be right back.

Did you find anything?

I found wheelchair marks

and boot tracks too.

Did you look in the dorm?

No.

Here.

Mark, Sherry's in there.

Carl's with her.

Okay.

Let's go.

Where?

Major Chatham's.

Major Chatham?

Major Chatham!

Let's try around back.

Major Chatham!

Major Chatham?

Major Chatham!

Major Chatham!

Mark.

This is Francis Chatham.

I'm going to take a look

upstairs.

Major Chatham?

Oh, Mark, you scared me.

Everything's covered upstairs. Chatham probably

hasn't even been up there since his last stroke.

You find anything?

Look at this.

So what?

It's the major's daughter.

Francis Rosemary Chatham.

They must have called her Rose.

And look. See? I found

a pressed rose in the yearbook.

And the killer left behind

a rose in her hands.

Didn't you read my article?

They never found out who did it.

But it had to be someone in town,

someone who knew that she was called Rose,

and, Mark, that guy

still might be around here.

Oh, man. I don't believe this. You're talking

about something that happened over 30 years ago.

Pam. The guy who chased you may be the one

the state police are looking for right now.

I say let's get the hell out of here and go to

the dance and see that everyone stays inside.

Maybe you should call the sheriff.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

Okay. I didn't mean that.

It's all right.

Let's go.

Paul, are you okay? Oh

- God.

I think I'm going to throw up again.

Can't take this no more

But I want to see blood on the floor

Standing in the spotlight

I hope I can see her bleed

I want to see her bleed

Don't turn off the spotlight

I still want to see her bleed

Is Paul still in here?

Yeah. He's sick as a dog.

I'm going to go cool off, Paul.

When you get tired of hugging the toilet,

you can find me up at Garner's pool.
