The Reflecting Skin Page #4

Well I'm telling you boy!

You're full of sin! Say it!

Sin! Say it! Sin! Sin!

- Sin.

- Louder!

- Sin!

- Again!

- Sin!

- Again! Again!

Sin! Sin!

Look at him! He's enjoying it!

Can't you see he's enjoying it?!

- He's a monster!

- No, Cassie!

What's killing all the children?

What's killing the children?

Every cop in the state on the job,

and you know what I think?

- No...

- I think your Pa is still out there,

dripping gasoline and killing children.

And you wanna know what else I think?

I think you've got secrets locked up

in here and it's my job to get 'em out.

Even if I have to crack you open

like a peanut, do you understand me?

- Yeah.

- Well I hope you do.

'Cos whatever you got up there,

I'm gonna find it out.

One way or another,

I'm gonna get it out.

Look in my mouth.

In my mouth.

What is it?

You see anything? I can taste blood.

It's your gums.

- My gums?

- Yeah. They're bleeding.

I'm losing weight.

You know I had to take

my belt in two notches.

- You're going bald too.

- I'm going bald?

Found hair in your comb.

Does it show?

Can you tell by looking at me?

No, not really.

Jesus. I'm falling apart here.

Cam... I gotta tell you something.

- Cam?

- What?

Get off my coat!

Cam, I know why you're getting old.

- Oh yeah? Why?

- 'Cos of her.

- Who?

- Dolphin.

What do you mean?

She's a vampire.

- She's a vampire?

- I knew you wouldn't believe me!

She's a vampire!

And she's drinking your blood!

- You don't see that, do you?

- Oh yeah...

Listen! That's why you're getting older

and she's getting younger!

- You're crazy.

- It's true!

- You really believe that?

- Yeah!

- You're out of your mind.

- It's true, Cam!

I can't listen to this crap anymore.

- Cam!

- Leave me alone!

Cam! Come back!

Cam, stop! Wait!

Don't leave me! You can't go!

Just watch me.

You can't leave me with Ma!

You said so!

Oh, shut up! She's alright.

She's better than before.

She does the cooking and housework

and keeps her mouth shut.

What more do you want?

You can't go with Dolphin, she's a vampire!

She'll kill you, I'm warning you...

Shut up!

Listen you little bastard, I love her!

Do you understand? I love her!

And she loves me. And I'm going away

with her and I'm gonna be happy.

And there's not a damn thing you can

do about it, you understand me?

You hear me?!

Now shut up!

She's got him now, Eben.

There's nothing I can do.

She's won and I've lost.

She's gonna kill him, Eben.

What? Say that again...

Tell me.

Tell me.

Tell me.

Tell me...

Tell me...

Tell me...

Tell me...

Dolphin?

You waiting for something?

Yes, for a ride. I'm going to town.

I love him, you know. Really.

I'll look after him.

He'll be safe with me.

Poor Seth. It's all so

horrible, isn't it?

It's the nightmare of childhood.

And it only gets worse.

One day you'll wake up,

and you'll be past it.

Your beautiful skin will

wrinkle and shrivel up.

You'll lose your hair.

Your sight. Your memory.

Your blood will thicken.

Teeth turn yellow and loose.

You'll start to stink and fart...

and all your friends will be dead.

You'll succumb to arthritis.

Angina. Senile dementia.

You'll piss yourself. Sh*t yourself.

Drool at the mouth.

Just pray that when this happens,

you've got someone to love you.

Because, if you're loved...

you'll still be young.

Oh... innocence can be hell.

Well, well, well,

if it isn't the scarecrow's son?

You want a ride, Seth Dove?

No. Not yet.

Where are you boys going?

- Where are you going?

- To town.

- We going that way, boys?

- Yeah!

- Looks like we're going that way.

- Thanks.

It's a beautiful day,

isn't it Seth Dove?

Yeah.

- What are you looking at?

- Nothing.

Don't look like nothing.

Why don't you go play

with your friends?

They're all dead.

What's the Sheriff's car

doing down there?

Cam...

Wait, Cam!

Cam!

Cam!

Wait! Cam, stop!

Stop! Cam! Come home, Cam!

Wait! Stop Cam, please!

No! No!

No!
