Wendigo Page #3

Nobody believes | in spirits anymore.

Doesn't mean | they're not there.

He who hears | the cry of the Wendigo

is never the same again.

Miles?

Miles, let's go.

Come on.

Whoa, whoa. | You've got to be careful in here.

What have you got?

The man gave it to me.

What man?

Behind the counter back there.

Excuse me.

My son said the man up there | gave him this little figure.

- Is that okay? | - What's he got?

That's... $5.

$5? Come on, Miles, | who said you could have that?

The Indian guy | behind the counter back there.

Is that possible | someone gave it to him?

Nobody works here but me.

Nobody's been in here | but me.

Oh, okay. | Come on, Miles.

Let's give it back.

He's kind of cool. | Will you take $3?

Four.

Okay.

You just blew | our budget, Miles.

There was a guy, mom.

- He gave it to me. | - What kind of a guy?

Hey, Dad.

- What? | - Later.

Come on.

- Mom? | - Yeah?

Didn't you see | the man?

I didn't see him. | Doesn't mean he wasn't there,

but you shouldn't | make stuff up that isn't true.

He was there.

I believe you, sweetie.

If it's true.

Mom.

Wendigo.

It can grow as tall | as the trees

and still it aches | with hunger.

The Wendigo is hungry--

always hungry.

And it's hunger | is never satisfied.

The more it eats, | the bigger it gets.

And the bigger it gets, | the hungrier it gets.

And we are hopeless

in the face of it.

We are devoured.

It can fly at you like a sudden storm, | without warning,

from nowhere...

and devour you--

consume you

with its ferocious appetite.

There are spirits | that should be feared...

because there are spirits

that are angry.

- Jesus. | - What?

I can't take this guy.

Seriously, he's like Boo Radley | the way he's always around.

George, Boo Radley | was a good guy.

Right, Miles?

Did you realize how close | we are to those guys?

Those are some | nice neighbors to have.

George, shush.

Look, Dad.

Look what I got from the man | at the thrift store.

- It's magic. | - That's cool.

Why don't you go show that guy | to your transformers?

They're not transformers.

What? What?

You got to show | more interest.

Last week it was transformers. | What can I say?

You don't see it, George,

but he lies and makes stuff up | to get attention.

It's because you got | to be there for him.

If we're going to do these weekends, | you got to be engaged.

You put these ideas in his head that | I'm not interested. It's not fair.

Come on, I don't | discuss this with Miles.

You've got all this anger | you carry around from work

or I don't know where, | and he feels it.

- He thinks it's directed at him. | - Oh--

He doesn't know what it is, | I don't know.

- Everyone's got anger. | - Oh, George.

I don't want to be | analyzed right now.

Miles sees this stuff. | He sees.

I got to make this phone call | to Charles in the city.

I told him I'd call.

I'll take Miles out afterwards. | We'll go sledding.

Okay.

I'll cook.

I got the curry.

Thank you, dear.

Come on, baby. | Hey, hey, hey.

We never even looked around | the whole house together.

No, go ahead. | Go on, make your call.

No, no, no. | Let's look upstairs. Come on.

I guess they're | still fixing it up.

I'd love to have the time | to acquire all this stuff.

Yup.

Annie has a good eye.

Mmm.

Aaah!

She really has this whole | stag thing going here.

I mean, look at this.

Aah.

Poor deer.

I took this funny picture | of the sheriff in town today.

Yeah?

He shot me this look.

It must piss | the locals off,

all these outsiders | coming up here.

It's really great | you brought your camera.

Get some pictures | for yourself.

- Yeah. Hey, look at this. | - What?

- You know that reservoir? | - Yeah.

This whole town's | buried under there.

- Hmm. | - 10,000 acres.

They flooded the valley | in 1907

to make drinking water | for New York City.

- Wow. | - That's a lot of displaced people.

We'd already displaced | the Indians.

Now Annie and Richard | live here.

Displacing Everybody.

A lot of Indian stuff | in the area.

Yeah, it's | the Catskills, George.

''Yeah, it's the Catskills, George.''

''It's the Catskills.''

Miles:
No!

Miles?

Miles?

Miles?

Miles?

Are you okay, sweetie?

- Are you okay? | - Yeah.

What's the matter?

Nothing. | I just got sad.

- Are you cold out here? | - I'm okay.

What made you sad?

- I don't know. | - What do you think it is?

You can tell mommy.

Maybe he's just moody | like his dad, right, tiger?

Sometimes it helps to talk | about things when you're sad.

You've got to watch for those moods. | They'll get the best of you.

You'll end up taking soulful | pictures of corporate logos.

Oh, you shush. | Don't listen to him.

Your father complains | about his work,

but a lot of people | would kill for his job.

Don't listen to her.

Feeling sorry for yourself | is very unattractive.

Miles, remember, | boys against girls.

Hey. | Hey, tiger.

I think your dad wants | to take you sledding.

- Right, Dad? | - Yeah! What do you say?

Um, okay.

All right, I'm going to make | this call and we'll go out.

So you get ready. | I'll be right back.

- Yeah, man? | - Yeah.

Yeah, man.

You okay, sweetie?

- Don't worry, mom. | - '' Don't worry, mom''?

You're growing up | so fast.

Now come here.

Hey, Chas, | it's George.

So what's the verdict? | Are they serious about this reshoot?

Really? F***!

I'm up here, so...

It's nice. | Yeah, it's pretty cold.

Well, we had this--

this weird thing happen.

Yeah, we hit this deer.

It came right at the windshield, | so that was bad enough,

but then there was | this one guy, man.

I'm telling you, Chas, | this guy was bad news.

It scared me, yeah.

I was afraid | for Kim and the kid.

So what do they say | the problem is?

It's too dark?

In terms of light or tone-- | like content, know what I mean?

Do they know what they mean?

Maybe it's just | a question of contrast.

No, I mean visual contrast.

I could bring out | the highlights.

Anyway, I'm not fighting | for anything anymore.

Just tell them to tell us | what they want,

I'll deal with it on Tuesday. | I'm taking Monday off like I planned.

They don't own me.

Okay, they don't | own me till Tuesday, okay?

All right, Chas. | Thanks, man.

Okay, I'll see you.

Hey, hey.

I'm going | to take Miles out.

We're going sledding.

You better believe it.

Hey, Miles, help! | Aaah!

Dad.

I know. | Ha ha ha.

Aaah!

No, aah!

Come on, kiddo. | Are you ready?

So, what happened?

They want to do it, | f*** them.

What are you going to do? | You need to go back?

No, baby, I want | to do this for us.

Charles can | take care of it.

We could go back | early Monday.

It's beautiful, it's perfect. | Come on, kiddo, let's go.

Ha ha ha!

We're off, we're off, | we're off!

Here you go, buddy. | Take my hand.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, | yeah, yeah!

Sledding, sledding, | sledding.

You guys be careful.

- Oh, Mom. | - Oh, Mom.

Andy? Hi.

It's Dr. McLaren. | Is Everything all right?

I thought we weren't going | to call on the weekends?
