What's Eating Gilbert Grape Page #6

- Hang on one second.

- Okay.

Try it.

- I don't know.

- Yeah, I don't know.

I don't...

It's a mystery.

- Gilbert, listen, thanks anyway.

- No problem.

Come play with me in the water.

You can't find me.

You can't find me anywhere.

Say-Say "Where's Arnie?"

Say that.

No, I want you to come in with me.

No.

Say "Where's Arnie?"

Say "Where's Arnie?"

Say that.

Where's Arnie?

You can't find me.

Say it again. Hi!

Say it again,

and you gotta look for me around.

I wanted you

to swim with me, Arnie.

Don't even try it, 'cause he's...

he's had a scare with water...

and he won't...

he won't come in.

I'm not comin' in the water.

- You wanna come in the water?

- No.

Why not?

Are you scared

to come in the water?

- No, no.

- Are you sure?

- I'm sure.

- He's scared.

Are you scared, Gilbert?

All right, what do you want to see?

Do you want to see...

Do you want to see me get wet

a little, like this?

- Yeah.

- A little splash?

A little more.

Do you wanna see this?

You want this, right?

Huh? You happy?

Tell me what you want

as fast as it comes to you.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Okay, what do you want?

- Faster!

- Okay.

I want a new thing.

House. I want a new house

for the family.

I want a...

I want Mama...

to take aerobics classes.

I want Ellen to grow up.

I want a new brain for Arnie.

I want...

What do you want for you?

Just for you.

I want to be a good person.

I can't... I can't do this.

I can't...

- Okay.

- Where's Arnie?

Arnie?

Excuse me, ma'am,

have you seen my brother?

No.

Sh*t.

- Hey!

- Come on.

Hey! Over here!

- Hang on, son.

- Come on, now.

- I did it again!

- Get this unbuckled.

All right, here we go.

There you go.

It's all right, Jerry. I got him.

I got him. It's all right, Jerry.

We're takin' him in.

It's not gonna happen again,

I promise this time.

We've warned you,

we've warned your sister...

that the next time

was gonna be the last time.

- Great. Great.

- Flash the lights!

Play the siren, okay?

- I don't believe this.

- Play the siren for me!

Way to go, Gilbert.

- Jerry, listen. You're gonna... You're

gonna have to take it easy on him.

- We'll take care of him, Gilbert.

- You gotta... Really,

you gotta keep an eye on him.

- All right. All right.

Hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Do the siren. Do the siren, okay?

Do the siren, all right?

I know, Sheriff.

I know that, Sheriff.

Okay. A**hole!

They're probably just teaching him

a lesson. They're probably just

proving a point.

Yeah. That's right.

Get my coat.

What?

Get my coat.

Get it!

Let's go.

Well, at least he's in a safe place.

At least someone's watching him.

Ellen, shut up.

You guys wait here.

I'll be right back, okay?

Mama. Mama,

let Gilbert handle this.

- Jerry, come on, please.

- Please, have a seat outside.

- Please, you gotta let him out.

- You need to wait your turn, okay?

- I don't think you guys understand.

It's gonna be...

- Look.

No one's going to do a thing

until you go and sit down outside...

Jerry!

Jerry!

Jerry!

Jerry, I've come for my son.

Sheriff?

Sheriff, are you there?

Bonnie, you'll need

to fill out some papers.

No! No!

- Police procedure requires...

- I want my boy, Jerry.

- But Bonnie, you have to calm...

- My son! Give me my son!

Come on. You're goin' home.

Sunshine, you're free!

Oh, baby.

- Don't disappear like that any more.

- Okay.

- Promise me.

- Mom!

You're free, baby. You're free.

Let's go home.

Hi!

Look!

That's why she needs a cane.

Look at her!

Mama, they didn't

flash the lights for me either.

Flash the lights.

Hey!

Look at me!

I'm hiding!

Say-Say "Where's Arnie?"

- Say like that.

- Arnie, get down.

Gilbert, come find me.

Where's Arnie?

Hey.

That's my mom in there.

My mama.

Gilbert,

come play with me up here.

Come play with me.

God, that was so brave,

what your mother did.

You know that, right?

I'd like to meet her.

No, you wouldn't.

Hey, where do you go next?

I would like to meet your mom.

In sure and certain hope of

the resurrection to eternal life...

we commend to Almighty God

our brother, Kenneth Carver...

and we commit his body

to the ground.

Earth to earth...

ashes to ashes

and dust to dust.

The Lord bless him

and keep him.

The Lord make his face

shine on him...

and be gracious to him.

The Lord look upon him

with favour...

and give him peace.

Lord Jesus, by your death

you took away the sting of death.

Grant to us, your servants,

so to follow in faith...

- for you have led the way...

- Hey! Hey!

- that we may at length

fall asleep peacefully in you...

- Lookit here!

- Lookit here!

- great in your likeness...

- Look where I'm pointing!

from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ.

The great shepherd of the sheep,

through the blood of

the everlasting covenant...

every good work to do his will...

- working in you that which is

well pleasing in his sight...

You could get candy if you want.

You can have candy if you want too.

Here's a good kind.

- Here, take this.

You can have it. Take it.

Here, Mommy will take care of it.

You run on outside.

Everybody thinks I killed him.

Do you?

No.

I miss him...

and I don't.

I miss him, and I don't.

So, Gilbert,

what's to become of you?

Oh, I'll probably just...

You haven't thought about it.

forgettin' all about you.

- Mommy?

- Mommy is coming in a minute, honey.

Okay.

Concerning my boys?
