Sketch (2025) Movie Script
1
I think she only drew a picture,
right?
She didn't actually hurt anyone.
She didn't hurt anyone, no, but Ms.
Thompson was concerned when she saw it.
Okay, let me come on.
How bad can it be, you know?
Wow, all right.
We felt a phone call
wouldn't convey the... Blood?
Well, the seriousness.
That's a lot of blood.
Well, I mean, this down here could be
grass.
The grass is coming out of the boy's head.
Oh, yeah, it is.
She also labeled it.
Oh, she did.
She sure did.
That's helpful.
This boy in the picture.
Is he based on a real person?
Bowman.
Seems like you have a lot of strong
feelings about Bowman.
You know, feelings aren't bad.
You can't really control how someone makes
you feel.
Inbox.
What?
My dad says that you can't control your
inbox, but you can control your outbox.
I love that.
What kind of stuff have you had in your
inbox lately?
It can fill up really quickly sometimes.
And when it does, it's
easy to lose control of
your outbox and react to
others in negative ways.
Can you think of any...
Pulling out their eyeballs.
Okay.
Vating them to, like, millions of bugs.
You're right.
Those would be very...
Pushing them off and playing with a
parachute, but when they pull the cord
instead of a parachute, it's just
poisonous snakes.
Okay.
Pause.
I had a question for you, Amber.
And you can be totally honest with me.
Okay.
Did you actually want something bad to
happen to Bowman?
And it sounds like you did the right thing
to me.
I think drawing this was a much healthier
choice than pulling out his eyeballs.
What do you say?
You know what you could have done that
would have been a lot worse?
If I took a machete and I'll show you.
Right here.
What do you see?
Nothing.
You could have let that anger sit inside
of you, growing bigger, stronger,
and scarier, but you didn't.
You put it right here.
Or it can't hurt anyone.
I apologize.
I usually have ones that are less
cat-centric.
This is your new outbox.
You told her about that?
When you get angry, sad, or scared,
all that stuff that goes in your inbox,
put it in here.
And you don't have to let anyone see it.
But it would encourage you, when you're
ready, to share it with someone.
Preferably your dad, and talk about it.
Okay?
Do you have a pen?
Hmm.
What?
Hmm.
Here.
Here.
Why do you need a serving plate?
Pizza comes in a serving plate.
No, it's nice when it's on a plate.
The special plate is for one person.
On special days.
This dilutes the special plate.
Okay, you never use a word dilute in your
life.
I know words.
Who taught you words?
I didn't knock out all the walls to open
up more space.
What?
On house centers.
They're always like, I'm totally knocking
out this wall and opening up the space.
When are you watching house centers?
I mean, I sort of do, but only,
like, certainly.
I don't recall if you still have one
parent.
What?
Are you orphans?
No, no.
You think we're bastards?
Wow.
No.
You have a dad.
I'm alive.
Then what are we?
You're just, you're kids.
Just regular kids.
Am I a bastard?
Come on.
I didn't understand.
What you call an orphan, that still has a
dad.
A child whose mother
has died, but whose
father is alive, is called
a maternal orphan.
Okay, good.
We're learning lessons.
That's beautiful.
Thank you.
A morphine?
Yeah.
It's morphine time!
Stop!
Single dad!
Stop!
Pizza!
Sad stop!
I said stop!
Why'd you do that?
Leave her alone, leave her alone,
guys.
Leave her alone.
Bro, don't throw away.
It's broken, man.
We can fix it.
No, we can't fix it.
Yes, we can.
I can't.
No, you can't, man.
Whatever.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Yeah, I know.
Go, Fox.
I wasn't even gonna say how, Fox.
Dad!
Yeah?
Dr. Obama in face.
Yes, we don't.
I can't right now.
Can you talk to mom?
Mom.
Mom!
Yeah?
Jackson, he was gonna draw a mask,
but he just drew a butt.
Come here.
Where are you gonna fix it?
Don't worry, I have an idea.
What are you drawing?
It won't be a butt, I promise.
Why does Jack always draw butts?
Because butts are awesome.
Here we go.
I can still see the butt.
Wait!
What the?
There's over seats!
Dad!
No!
Yeah!
Hey sweetheart, let's just leave it home
for today.
Okay?
You will be okay.
You really will.
Unless you won't look at it.
I will not look at it.
I promise.
Get for your covenant.
What?
Get for your covenant.
Give me your covenant.
What do we, a cult?
Yo!
We good?
I give you my covenant.
Now forge a blood oath.
Come to school.
Thank you!
Covenant?
No, thanks.
I won't tell anyone.
No.
It's okay.
No!
Avery, stop being a jerk.
Just take the notebook.
What the?
Avery, over!
Get it!
Back, sit down.
Back to seat.
She said we need to notebook out the
window.
I didn't see it.
Sit down.
I saw it.
Both of you, in a seat.
Now, I was never stable.
Sorry for trying to help.
Do you have a trimmer?
Oh my gosh.
Sorry, I should have knocked.
Do you have a trimmer?
There's a spot out in the front that I
need to fix up.
Yeah, I'll get you one.
I'm not to be sure about it, but I'm still
seeing a lot of faces.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, I meant to take those down.
Where are you going to be?
What?
Where are you going to be while they're in
here?
My van.
What van?
My van, the driveway.
In the driveway?
Do you know you can't, like, come in while
they're here, right?
What kind of a question is that?
It's just something you don't do.
I'm not going to come in.
Okay, well, promise me.
I'd give you my covenant.
What?
Exactly.
That's a weird thing to say, isn't it?
Openings?
This house was better than it's looked in
years.
What are we going to call this gun?
Plan is somebody buys it.
So a patch of grass with some pictures of
my kids is going to prevent that?
Do you want to sell this house?
Yeah.
Why did you pause?
I didn't pause.
Because that was a rhetorical question.
I said yes.
We have people coming
in, like, 30 seconds, so
you got to not pause
when I asked that question.
I didn't pause.
Now you're pausing.
Okay, well, if you're having a
second pause... It was just a pause.
This guy... See?
So you admit to pausing.
Okay.
Well, you're the most exhausting person that
was ever... I did not come in the house.
Come on.
You're so cute.
Oh!
Oh!
Come on!
I probably knocked out this wall.
This... Load-bearing wall?
Oh!
You're the most exhausting person that was
ever there.
This is my brother Taylor.
Hello.
Yeah, why don't we go look in the main
room, okay?
Okay, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor.
And as you can see, this
room is big enough.
Sorry, I don't know how to... Okay,
well, it's fine.
I'm gonna try to get it free.
Yeah.
You did this.
Hey!
Hey!
How was your day?
Yeah, we got in trouble again.
What?
What?
What even is all that?
Tentacles.
Let's see.
Okay, go to the bathroom and wash it off.
We already tried at school.
Well, clearly not hard enough,
but first bring me all your art supplies.
Why?
Because I'm gonna take them for the rest
of the week.
What?
Okay, no, I'm gonna take them for the rest
of the week.
Day.
That's not fair!
What's not fair is people thinking the
wrong thing about you.
I don't care what people think of me.
Oh, well, you should.
No, I didn't mean that.
You know what I meant.
Why do I look brown?
Okay, look, I had to clean up everybody's
room before we were showing today,
and I accidentally spilled coffee
everywhere.
Did you look at it?
Why did you pause?
Oh, come on.
You looked at it?
You gave me your coveted.
You still have my coveted.
Do you even know what it means to give
someone your coveted?
Do you?
Who?
Show
the house we've got to get from the van.
What are you doing?
I found chalk in the closet.
Thank you.
Is that me?
Wow.
You drew that very fast.
Eiders.
Eiders.
They're taking your stuff.
My stuff?
Your phone, your coffee mug, your
fingernails, your eyeballs.
Okay, I got it, I got it.
Do you know what I miss?
You used to bring me all this stuff.
Like every ten minutes
you'd walk into my
room and bring me 18
new things you'd drawn.
You're just throwing them away.
Once a year.
Is that more?
No, that's not old.
That's a child's art project, right?
Because it's taped to the wall.
Taylor?
I know, I know, I'm sorry.
He doesn't come with the house.
Would you ask him if that's mold?
No, it's not mold.
Alright.
Okay.
Who are the hearts?
Yup.
Super lion.
What do you have in the time of his life?
Dave.
Dave.
Dave.
Is he?
He's sleeping.
Dave?
Who's sleeping?
Dave.
Why a force?
Remember that?
Here.
Do you ever write to him out of me?
You really do.
I'm so, so sorry I looked at your book.
I really am.
But do not tell me that I don't treasure
every single thing you've ever made for me.
Every single thing.
You have to promise not to freak out.
I won't freak out.
I won't.
This is the blood eater.
It eats blood and pukes the blood back
onto people.
Okay.
This is the toddler.
Its house is blind on where you are,
so it can come kill you.
Mmm, okay.
These are stabbidons.
Mmm.
They swoop down and stab you in the face.
Bardoa.
And you've seen this one.
Oh, yeah.
It's my whole family favorite.
I see you colored it in.
Do you think it made it less scary?
Oh, no.
No, you don't have to worry about that.
No, no.
Oh, come on.
I couldn't find a picture of it,
so I had to draw it how I remembered.
Yeah.
Well, you did a good job.
And all this.
You're incredibly creative.
Here's the thing, okay?
I think life is all about balancing the
good and the bad, you know?
So look, look.
If you don't carry the good with you too,
it's just going to make the bad stronger.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not saying get rid of the bad.
I'm just saying you might want to include
a little bit of the good.
That's it.
What do you need?
I just want to add a couple things.
Okay, this is my only copy.
I'm not here drawing.
All right.
Okay, what's that?
Sneaktoes.
Sneaktoes.
In case people don't die when he crushes
them.
Yeah, they're tracks.
It's smart.
Shoes!
Hey, do you want a sandwich?
A second.
Are those bones ashes?
What are you doing here?
Why do you have them all?
I don't.
Yes, you do.
It's right there.
Don't have it.
Never stop.
Never stop.
Never stop.
Ahhh!
I don't want to.
No.
Don't push the water.
Did dad see a leaf?
Oh, it's ruined.
Did dad see a leaf?
Come on.
Close the window!
What's that for paint?
Jack?
Don't feel bad.
No.
Thanks for leaving the newspapers out for
me to carry.
Morning.
Rick.
I think we got robbed.
What are you doing over there?
Working.
Did you at least call this in first?
It's the next thing I was going to do.
I think people really break in just to
steal office supplies.
We'll lose that amount.
Where are you going?
Good day.
Good day.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Goodness.
Look at that light.
Alright.
Let's go.
Amber?
I'm in here.
Amber, it's weird.
What are you doing?
Did you slip into the whole night?
I heard tapping on my window.
What's happening?
What kind of tapping?
Like scratching.
Well, it's probably just a bird.
Or a squirrel, sweetheart.
What in the...
Well, maybe it's just a bird poop or
something.
What a sick bird.
Let's get dressed.
Come on.
The bus is on its way.
Come on.
What are you doing out there?
Out of your business?
All of my business.
I'm telling you everything.
Did you just look my ear?
That's disgusting.
We'll talk about it on the bus.
No, we'll talk about it now.
No, we're going to talk about it on the
bus.
Hey, Jack.
Hey, Jack.
Hey, Amber, can you tell Ms. Thompson to
hold the bus for just a second?
Um, hey, is everything okay?
Yeah, why?
Well, I mean, I know I've been working
through some stuff with Amber lately,
and you might not feel like I'm really
available to you.
Yeah, you hear us?
It's fine.
But I am, and I know you'd be afraid to
come to me with anything.
What is it?
Your Amber's notebook.
Yeah.
I found this place in the woods where
Mommy used to, like, walk.
Yeah.
It fixed my phone and put this special
plate back together.
What are you talking about?
We dropped Amber's notebook in it.
And I'm worried that Amber's drawings
might be...
Yeah.
Alive.
Okay, get on the bus.
What?
I'm trying to be real with you,
man.
Oh, so am I.
Get on the bus.
What?
It always sounds crazy.
Hey, listen to me.
I love you so much.
And when you're ready to grow up and be
real with me, I'm here, okay?
Go.
You're gonna be late.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Okay, weirdo.
I'm not even gonna comment on how
disgusting this is, okay?
And how long have you had vines here?
Their roots are growing through the
screen, Taylor.
The people coming this morning are a
sweet, young, fiscally responsible,
and incredibly boring couple.
The only way they're not
gonna love this place is if
some creepy weirdo keeps
busting in every three minutes.
Just take my mug.
And I swear, Taylor, if you do that,
I will murder you in front of them.
What the hell is this?
My mug was right here.
I'll take care of it.
You go.
What about the mess?
You're holding it.
Oh, oh, oh, I see you
took down... All the faces?
Yeah, because the person that said they
would didn't.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Can I actually ask you a question about
the faces?
Yeah.
I noticed that...
was that intentional?
Yeah.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
What were you doing out there?
What was that sound?
Can we talk about this later?
It sounded like a roar.
It wasn't a roar.
Yes, it was.
If it was a roar, it was probably just a
mountain lion.
Hey, we don't have mountain lions.
Thanks.
No problem.
We do have bobcats, though.
It wasn't a bobcat.
It wasn't a bobcat.
What were you doing out there?
What was that pond?
And what made that roar sound?
A bobcat made that roar sound.
And the pond was just a pond.
And I was out there doing... My cousin
once saw a bobcat in his living room.
This is a private conversation.
Yeah, on a public bus.
What is that?
Old people music.
He's talking about the blue stuff in the
road.
Hey, guys, get back in your seats now.
Back in your seats.
Tell Miss Thompson we need to leave.
What?
Why?
Carol, it's 902.
Come in.
Miss Thompson.
Hey, I just came up here on a raccoon
Madison involved in a pickup truck.
Miss Thompson!
Amber, what is it?
It's not a bobcat.
It's not a bobcat.
It's gonna eat us!
Oh, it's gonna eat us and take our skin!
In that order?
You guys, calm down.
Maybe it's not as scary as it looks.
You all better be seated.
Are you okay?
Amber, are you okay?
Is anyone hurt?
She's dead.
We don't know that.
Miss Thompson, are you dead?
She's not going to answer you.
Because that's the signal for dead.
Miss Thompson?
I'm gonna check her vitals.
What are her vitals?
Something only boys have.
Her heart beat.
Is it one finger or two?
Try three.
I can feel her heart beat.
And I can see her breathing.
Front door is jammed.
Can we get out of the back door?
No.
Leave her alone!
She was saying we need to leave.
Stop screaming.
You are the reason it's time to do the
first place.
How?
You woke him up.
When he beat the horn.
His name is Dave.
He crushes people.
And a snake to his kill whoever doesn't
die from the crushing.
He used to be sleeping.
But you woke him up.
His name is Dave.
How do you make him fall asleep?
I don't know.
How do you make someone fall asleep?
Lullaby.
Hit and find them?
Sure.
I'm helping.
Lullaby.
The other car.
What other car?
The door opened.
When we got here, he was playing music.
You can make him fall asleep using music.
Where's my phone?
Jack, hurry!
Get over there!
It's not a phone.
It's an iPod.
It basically does everything a phone does
except call people.
Phone, can one of us have a turn?
Almost got it!
Turn it the other way.
You're doing it right.
Turn it on!
I got it!
Yes!
Done with this.
Hey, we're coming.
Now, call one of us up.
What's wrong with you?
I hate that kid.
This is the next track.
What is it?
Hello?
We're gonna be here.
Sorry, you're breaking up.
Can you repeat that?
What was my phone?
What was my phone?
I think this is the one.
Great.
Sorry, I can't find my phone on the scope.
It's trying to call me.
I think something might be wrong.
I'll try calling you.
Sorry.
I just lost my phone.
We usually don't have spiders around here.
Actually, I'm lying.
We have a ton of spiders within the other
ones.
Um, you're bleeding.
What?
I'm sorry, can you elaborate on what you
mean by a ton of spiders?
Taylor.
The school just called.
How'd you jave attacking the school bus?
Really?
I drew monsters attacking other people,
too.
Like who?
Hello?
Dave?
Shoo!
Bip!
Go on, leave!
Go away, you little...
What the heck?
Shoo!
Shoo!
Shoo!
Are you blind?
What are you doing here, saving you,
Beagle?
Order.
How do you beat this one?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just don't.
That's a cram.
What is that, marker?
Disgusting.
I'd like to go indoors now.
Two students are
accounted for at a gas
station down the road
with just minor injuries.
What are they, my kids?
We have Carson Quinn and DeMarcus
Davidson.
They said they did witness Jack,
Amber Wyatt, and Bowman Lynch make it off
the bus, but they can't confirm they made
it to the gas station.
They're probably headed home right now.
I bet that's where they're going.
Oh, God.
I knew she had something to do with this.
She's evil.
I feel like witch.
She's got a witch?
Maybe I am.
See, Amber, you're not a witch.
Stop saying that.
Dad!
Amber!
The van is gone.
Dad's not here.
How many of those things are out there
looking for me?
She didn't just draw them for you.
She drew them for a bunch of people.
Then I'll see you.
What is your deal?
Hey!
Back off!
You're back off!
You're just a witch, you aist!
It was her idea to save your life.
Not mine.
So call her a witch one more time.
She's a witch.
Are you for real?
You told me to sit down and face the wall.
And take your shoes off!
Dr. Lance at the drawing was the right
thing to do.
Whenever I thought of stuff like that,
I would try.
And then I wouldn't feel it anymore.
I promise I didn't want this.
I don't know how to get rid of them.
Look, I know you think I'm insane.
I'm processing it.
The spider I saw in the house looked exactly
like the one she drew in her notebook.
Well, don't you think it's possible that
she saw one of those things?
And that's what gave her the idea to draw
it in the first place?
No, because it was an eyeball with legs.
I saw an eyeball with legs, alright?
When do you see that?
And she says it goes around and steals
your personal belongings and stuff.
Come on.
She calls them iders.
Ugh, I love her brain.
Why would you say that?
No, I'm with you.
I'm here.
I just... I think maybe you're
being a little crazy right now.
Oh!
Yes.
What are you doing?
No, don't come out.
I know this cat.
What's wrong with you?
Don't touch me.
There's more to this cat than what's
letting on.
Did you just say there's more to this cat
than what it's letting on?
You just trust me on this, please.
Does it have some serious skin condition?
There was more to the cat.
I told you.
Shut up.
Amber drew that?
Just ourifying parts.
Huh.
She's working through some stuff.
What kind of stuff?
It needs to be a weapon.
Something that can kill them all at once.
A huge gun.
No.
A smoker.
No.
Punch smoker.
Stop talking.
I'm helping.
This needs to be something that will throw
to the pot.
That will instantly kill all the monsters,
but only the monsters at once.
Like slash kill at E.
Slash what at U?
Slash kill at sign E.
It's from Minecraft.
You put type equals and
whatever you want to kill in the
brackets, and it kills all
the entities of that type.
Like the one hit obliterator.
I don't think that's how the one hit
obliterator works.
You guys are nerds.
You just reference Zelda.
It's a good idea.
But you should do it.
Amber.
Me drawing is the start of this.
And maybe it's where we'll end it.
But this is where we'll end it.
That's just a huge gun with a bunch of
smaller guns.
Give me the marker.
No.
Give me the marker.
No.
Why are you like, just give me the marker.
You are the worst person.
That poor girl is never going to want to
draw anything ever again.
That's always kind of been her thing,
right?
What?
Drawing?
All kids like to draw.
Yeah, but has she
always been so... Dark?
I was going to say creative.
Creative, yes.
Dark, no.
Ever since.
Since what?
Okay, listen.
Do you know what we just experienced back
there?
Can you just help me focus on getting my
kids, please?
You have a hard time saying her name.
Amber?
Allie.
Okay, sure.
I'm preserving my energy.
Do the kids ever say her name?
They call her mom, Liz.
Have you ever talked about her?
No, I don't.
Would they if they wanted to?
Liz, come on.
You took all the pictures off the wall?
You kind of made the house look like she
never existed.
Do you think that might have something to
do with all this pent-up emotion?
No, I don't actually.
Come on, open up, dumbass.
Open up, dumbass?
Is that what you just said?
Do you think that any of this stuff might
be related?
No, I don't.
Taylor.
Of course it's related.
Of course it is.
It's 500% related, and there's nothing I
can do about it.
Nothing.
The only thing I can focus on is getting
past it.
Getting past this, getting past that.
What the hell is that?
That's too far away to be a threat,
right?
I know we're supposed
to be scared of it,
but it's kind of beautiful,
don't you think?
Don't run!
Did I do something to you?
A bunch of these, you drew for me.
Did I do something to you?
You got me in coming with Ms. Thompson.
You hide my pencil box every day.
I know what you're talking about.
You sit behind me and pull my hair,
then try to tell me it was a bird.
It was a bird.
You convinced Mrs. Sanchez to name the
class Hamster after me, so you could
announce the class every time Amber
pooped.
Okay, that one was pretty good,
and called me an orphan.
That was a compliment.
What?
Everyone who is an orphan?
Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, all the
Avengers.
Not Hulk.
Have we ever seen Hulk's parents?
Where are they?
At their house.
A haunted house.
Usually when someone
picks on you like this,
Amber, it means they're
secretly in love with you.
Really?
Because I think it means they're a creep.
Hey, do you actually want bad things to
happen to me?
See those things kill me and caught me in
half?
Like the one you drew on the bus?
I wasn't cutting you in half.
I was stabbing you really hard in the
stomach.
That's no better.
Okay.
Done.
You put this in the butt, and all the
monsters should lie down instantly.
It looks like a butt.
What doesn't?
See, those are legs, and that's the butt.
You're the butt.
You're the butt.
You guys ready?
No, I don't want to do this.
I have to go to the bathroom.
You couldn't have gone before we put all
the stuff on?
I didn't have to go then.
No, I have to go too.
Oh my...
How much longer are you going to be?
I just got in here.
How much pee is actually in you?
Dude, just use the one my dad fed you.
Out of the hole.
Roman!
It's over this.
It's over this.
Come on!
Dude!
Dude!
Who's Roman?
Have you just passed by now?
Have you ever tried to open this window?
I don't want to go to the bathroom
anymore.
Amber!
Jack!
Jack!
I'll call the police here.
Taylor!
Amber!
Taylor!
Jack!
Jack!
Amber!
Taylor, come on.
Jack!
Amber!
Jack!
Amber!
Amber!
Are you okay?
Amber, are you okay?
Are you crying because it hurts?
Or because months like just stole
everything you had.
Amber, come on.
Just give me a second.
We don't really have a second.
Amber, come on!
Amber, we don't have time for this.
Are you hurt?
Or can you keep going?
Listen.
I need you right now, Amber.
I can't do this alone.
Especially if you're fighting me on
everything.
Stop!
What's up?
Shut up for one second.
But go with me!
You never shut up.
You just keep talking and talking and
shouting orders at us.
And making a skull of your plan.
Stop!
What is wrong with you?
I'm trying to help you.
You know that?
Me?
Dad?
We're trying so hard.
Every day to help you.
It doesn't make me feel better.
It makes me feel like something's wrong.
Maybe something IS wrong with you.
Do you still have Mom's ashes in your
backpack?
What was that?
You're taking her to the pond,
right?
To finish what you tried to do last night?
To bring her back?
What do you think is going to happen,
Jack?
Are you just going to bring Mom home and
say surprise?
Well, that's... dark.
And then what?
I'll feel better?
What's wrong with that?
Why do I keep getting into all this sort
of big stuff?
Yes, you would feel better.
Be all good.
I
Actually noticed before you did.
She drew Alex Tattoo, that butterfly in her
notebook, and she had to do it by memory.
There's no reference of it in the house.
I took him down the night after she died
and put him in a suitcase.
Oh, yes.
Sorry, I'm here.
I'm here.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
They're sending two officers over.
They'll be here in 15 minutes.
Amber asked me the other night if they
were orphans.
Jeez.
Yeah, right?
That's what they're throwing at me.
Are they?
Yes, it's like fiefal movies every day on
a night.
No, are they orphans?
What?
What?
No.
I'm right here.
I'm alive.
I know you're alive.
What if they got to be called something?
What are they called?
Why do they have to be called something?
Don't look it up.
Don't look it up.
Come on, dead.
They're called the turtle orphans.
Okay, so they are called orphans.
Wow.
Sorry.
And Amber abbreviated it to morphine.
I mean, Jack and I were so surprised that
she even had a sense of humor.
She's had no sense of humor lately.
And so Jack tried to recreate her detail
too far.
She broke the special plates.
Do you want to hear my two cents on all
this?
No, I don't.
Okay, I'm going to tell you.
I think you should stop worrying so much
about the girl who's drawing pictures of
her pain and worry a little bit more about
the boys who are ignoring theirs.
Look at the cup.
Happy?
Look, look, there are doors here.
Thats a pint, isnt it?
Chill out.
You'll chill out.
That thing isn't after you.
It's after me.
I'm the one she drew with it, cutting me
in half.
Stabbing you really hard through the
stomach.
Stabbing me really hard through the
stomach.
She doesn't want you.
She wants everyone.
Anything that can die while she wants us
dead.
She wants everyone.
Is that why it's drawing more monsters?
It's drawing more monsters because that's
what she does.
It's basically you, right?
How many of those things do you think it's
drawing?
Is that how you see yourself?
I'm thinking like a million, right?
That thing looks nothing like you.
You're not like that.
You're smart.
You're funny.
You care about people.
You're not an evil person just because you
drew some evil pictures.
And anyone who thinks that is stupid and
deserves to be cut in half.
Stab really hard through the stomach.
Listen to me.
You also drew this.
That looks more like you.
Thanks for the sword, by the way.
It's the diamond sword.
What?
The line caps.
That's the diamond sword?
What did you draw this?
Isn't the diamond sword supposed to be
blue?
Who cares?
She drew a green.
Then it's not the diamond sword.
It's the emerald sword like a while ago.
Stop saying that that thing is you.
It's not.
It's just a thing you drew.
That's it.
And that's the emerald sword.
Can we shut up about the sword,
please?
I will not.
I am very right about this.
We should get out of these woods.
Wait, what?
We're not done.
We're done.
I should have never tried to fix this in
the first place.
It's the whole reason all this happened.
Do you know what I've been through today?
Yes.
I almost died in a bus crash.
A blooming monster tried to eat me.
You were there for all of this.
I fought off an army of shock monsters.
Single-handedly.
I'd come all this way.
Pea my parents twice.
Walked through like 50 spider webs.
Just to give up and go home before I got
to use my flamethrower.
Wait.
You've ruined everything.
You peaced your pants twice.
Well, we've been indoors most of the day.
Even if we did use the flamethrower,
we don't have a weapon anymore.
You is mine.
Watch and bring that for this exact
situation.
And also, I want to frame it.
It's not going to wipe them all out at
once.
Then we draw a new one.
I can't.
Why not?
Because we're having a similar draw with.
Yes, we do.
She was pulling sharpies and paper out of
that backpack.
We could use those to draw a new butt and
put it straight into the pot.
We really need to stop calling it a butt.
We'll find a big butt.
It was never a butt.
We just need to get her out of the pot.
I can use that.
This is a bad idea.
You know how fast you can run.
But I know how fast I can run.
How fast?
Lightning speed.
By the time she catches me, you have butt
2.0 in the pond and she'll be dead soon.
What if it doesn't work?
We're doing this.
Just make sure it works.
How are you going to get it to chase you?
By doing what I do best.
Being huge people.
That was supposed to be a whistle.
I've never tried to do it that loud
before.
I'm normally a very good whistler.
You want to come up here?
I want to show you something.
It's not cool.
Come on.
Hurry!
No.
What?
Her skin is crayon.
Yeah?
Good.
Close!
Close!
Close!
Close!
Close!
Close!
Who the hell are you?
Where are my kids?
Who are your kids?
Amber and Jack.
Oh!
I'm not afraid of you.
You're the sixth thing I drew.
She also drew this.
You want to be my girlfriend?
Wow.
My uncle can get us free movie tickets.
No!
That's cool.
Don't worry.
Where did you find that?
It was still in the pocket.
No.
Before.
Where did you find that before?
Jack!
Amber!
Daddy!
Amber?
What have I done to you?
Oh my God.
Why did you have to close it?
I did my arms in the pond to save Jack.
Then he saved me with the diamond sword.
By chopping evil aimless arm off.
It was amazing.
Every part of that was horrifying.
I know.
Jack, I think I know what you're about to
do.
Before you do it, please, hear me out.
I know you miss mom.
I miss her too.
I miss her so much.
And I have done a terrible job of letting
you guys see how much.
This whole time.
This whole time, I thought we had to fix
Amber.
But Amber was the only one doing what
we're supposed to be doing.
Not running from the pain.
Not covering it up.
But feeling it.
Because you're thoughtful.
Because you're compassionate.
You felt the need to fix it.
That's not your responsibility,
man.
Oh, you needed it.
I'm sorry.
She's gone.
I know.
I know.
What did we do?
I'm sorry.
So horrifying.
So beautiful.
I think she only drew a picture,
right?
She didn't actually hurt anyone.
She didn't hurt anyone, no, but Ms.
Thompson was concerned when she saw it.
Okay, let me come on.
How bad can it be, you know?
Wow, all right.
We felt a phone call
wouldn't convey the... Blood?
Well, the seriousness.
That's a lot of blood.
Well, I mean, this down here could be
grass.
The grass is coming out of the boy's head.
Oh, yeah, it is.
She also labeled it.
Oh, she did.
She sure did.
That's helpful.
This boy in the picture.
Is he based on a real person?
Bowman.
Seems like you have a lot of strong
feelings about Bowman.
You know, feelings aren't bad.
You can't really control how someone makes
you feel.
Inbox.
What?
My dad says that you can't control your
inbox, but you can control your outbox.
I love that.
What kind of stuff have you had in your
inbox lately?
It can fill up really quickly sometimes.
And when it does, it's
easy to lose control of
your outbox and react to
others in negative ways.
Can you think of any...
Pulling out their eyeballs.
Okay.
Vating them to, like, millions of bugs.
You're right.
Those would be very...
Pushing them off and playing with a
parachute, but when they pull the cord
instead of a parachute, it's just
poisonous snakes.
Okay.
Pause.
I had a question for you, Amber.
And you can be totally honest with me.
Okay.
Did you actually want something bad to
happen to Bowman?
And it sounds like you did the right thing
to me.
I think drawing this was a much healthier
choice than pulling out his eyeballs.
What do you say?
You know what you could have done that
would have been a lot worse?
If I took a machete and I'll show you.
Right here.
What do you see?
Nothing.
You could have let that anger sit inside
of you, growing bigger, stronger,
and scarier, but you didn't.
You put it right here.
Or it can't hurt anyone.
I apologize.
I usually have ones that are less
cat-centric.
This is your new outbox.
You told her about that?
When you get angry, sad, or scared,
all that stuff that goes in your inbox,
put it in here.
And you don't have to let anyone see it.
But it would encourage you, when you're
ready, to share it with someone.
Preferably your dad, and talk about it.
Okay?
Do you have a pen?
Hmm.
What?
Hmm.
Here.
Here.
Why do you need a serving plate?
Pizza comes in a serving plate.
No, it's nice when it's on a plate.
The special plate is for one person.
On special days.
This dilutes the special plate.
Okay, you never use a word dilute in your
life.
I know words.
Who taught you words?
I didn't knock out all the walls to open
up more space.
What?
On house centers.
They're always like, I'm totally knocking
out this wall and opening up the space.
When are you watching house centers?
I mean, I sort of do, but only,
like, certainly.
I don't recall if you still have one
parent.
What?
Are you orphans?
No, no.
You think we're bastards?
Wow.
No.
You have a dad.
I'm alive.
Then what are we?
You're just, you're kids.
Just regular kids.
Am I a bastard?
Come on.
I didn't understand.
What you call an orphan, that still has a
dad.
A child whose mother
has died, but whose
father is alive, is called
a maternal orphan.
Okay, good.
We're learning lessons.
That's beautiful.
Thank you.
A morphine?
Yeah.
It's morphine time!
Stop!
Single dad!
Stop!
Pizza!
Sad stop!
I said stop!
Why'd you do that?
Leave her alone, leave her alone,
guys.
Leave her alone.
Bro, don't throw away.
It's broken, man.
We can fix it.
No, we can't fix it.
Yes, we can.
I can't.
No, you can't, man.
Whatever.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Yeah, I know.
Go, Fox.
I wasn't even gonna say how, Fox.
Dad!
Yeah?
Dr. Obama in face.
Yes, we don't.
I can't right now.
Can you talk to mom?
Mom.
Mom!
Yeah?
Jackson, he was gonna draw a mask,
but he just drew a butt.
Come here.
Where are you gonna fix it?
Don't worry, I have an idea.
What are you drawing?
It won't be a butt, I promise.
Why does Jack always draw butts?
Because butts are awesome.
Here we go.
I can still see the butt.
Wait!
What the?
There's over seats!
Dad!
No!
Yeah!
Hey sweetheart, let's just leave it home
for today.
Okay?
You will be okay.
You really will.
Unless you won't look at it.
I will not look at it.
I promise.
Get for your covenant.
What?
Get for your covenant.
Give me your covenant.
What do we, a cult?
Yo!
We good?
I give you my covenant.
Now forge a blood oath.
Come to school.
Thank you!
Covenant?
No, thanks.
I won't tell anyone.
No.
It's okay.
No!
Avery, stop being a jerk.
Just take the notebook.
What the?
Avery, over!
Get it!
Back, sit down.
Back to seat.
She said we need to notebook out the
window.
I didn't see it.
Sit down.
I saw it.
Both of you, in a seat.
Now, I was never stable.
Sorry for trying to help.
Do you have a trimmer?
Oh my gosh.
Sorry, I should have knocked.
Do you have a trimmer?
There's a spot out in the front that I
need to fix up.
Yeah, I'll get you one.
I'm not to be sure about it, but I'm still
seeing a lot of faces.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, I meant to take those down.
Where are you going to be?
What?
Where are you going to be while they're in
here?
My van.
What van?
My van, the driveway.
In the driveway?
Do you know you can't, like, come in while
they're here, right?
What kind of a question is that?
It's just something you don't do.
I'm not going to come in.
Okay, well, promise me.
I'd give you my covenant.
What?
Exactly.
That's a weird thing to say, isn't it?
Openings?
This house was better than it's looked in
years.
What are we going to call this gun?
Plan is somebody buys it.
So a patch of grass with some pictures of
my kids is going to prevent that?
Do you want to sell this house?
Yeah.
Why did you pause?
I didn't pause.
Because that was a rhetorical question.
I said yes.
We have people coming
in, like, 30 seconds, so
you got to not pause
when I asked that question.
I didn't pause.
Now you're pausing.
Okay, well, if you're having a
second pause... It was just a pause.
This guy... See?
So you admit to pausing.
Okay.
Well, you're the most exhausting person that
was ever... I did not come in the house.
Come on.
You're so cute.
Oh!
Oh!
Come on!
I probably knocked out this wall.
This... Load-bearing wall?
Oh!
You're the most exhausting person that was
ever there.
This is my brother Taylor.
Hello.
Yeah, why don't we go look in the main
room, okay?
Okay, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor.
And as you can see, this
room is big enough.
Sorry, I don't know how to... Okay,
well, it's fine.
I'm gonna try to get it free.
Yeah.
You did this.
Hey!
Hey!
How was your day?
Yeah, we got in trouble again.
What?
What?
What even is all that?
Tentacles.
Let's see.
Okay, go to the bathroom and wash it off.
We already tried at school.
Well, clearly not hard enough,
but first bring me all your art supplies.
Why?
Because I'm gonna take them for the rest
of the week.
What?
Okay, no, I'm gonna take them for the rest
of the week.
Day.
That's not fair!
What's not fair is people thinking the
wrong thing about you.
I don't care what people think of me.
Oh, well, you should.
No, I didn't mean that.
You know what I meant.
Why do I look brown?
Okay, look, I had to clean up everybody's
room before we were showing today,
and I accidentally spilled coffee
everywhere.
Did you look at it?
Why did you pause?
Oh, come on.
You looked at it?
You gave me your coveted.
You still have my coveted.
Do you even know what it means to give
someone your coveted?
Do you?
Who?
Show
the house we've got to get from the van.
What are you doing?
I found chalk in the closet.
Thank you.
Is that me?
Wow.
You drew that very fast.
Eiders.
Eiders.
They're taking your stuff.
My stuff?
Your phone, your coffee mug, your
fingernails, your eyeballs.
Okay, I got it, I got it.
Do you know what I miss?
You used to bring me all this stuff.
Like every ten minutes
you'd walk into my
room and bring me 18
new things you'd drawn.
You're just throwing them away.
Once a year.
Is that more?
No, that's not old.
That's a child's art project, right?
Because it's taped to the wall.
Taylor?
I know, I know, I'm sorry.
He doesn't come with the house.
Would you ask him if that's mold?
No, it's not mold.
Alright.
Okay.
Who are the hearts?
Yup.
Super lion.
What do you have in the time of his life?
Dave.
Dave.
Dave.
Is he?
He's sleeping.
Dave?
Who's sleeping?
Dave.
Why a force?
Remember that?
Here.
Do you ever write to him out of me?
You really do.
I'm so, so sorry I looked at your book.
I really am.
But do not tell me that I don't treasure
every single thing you've ever made for me.
Every single thing.
You have to promise not to freak out.
I won't freak out.
I won't.
This is the blood eater.
It eats blood and pukes the blood back
onto people.
Okay.
This is the toddler.
Its house is blind on where you are,
so it can come kill you.
Mmm, okay.
These are stabbidons.
Mmm.
They swoop down and stab you in the face.
Bardoa.
And you've seen this one.
Oh, yeah.
It's my whole family favorite.
I see you colored it in.
Do you think it made it less scary?
Oh, no.
No, you don't have to worry about that.
No, no.
Oh, come on.
I couldn't find a picture of it,
so I had to draw it how I remembered.
Yeah.
Well, you did a good job.
And all this.
You're incredibly creative.
Here's the thing, okay?
I think life is all about balancing the
good and the bad, you know?
So look, look.
If you don't carry the good with you too,
it's just going to make the bad stronger.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not saying get rid of the bad.
I'm just saying you might want to include
a little bit of the good.
That's it.
What do you need?
I just want to add a couple things.
Okay, this is my only copy.
I'm not here drawing.
All right.
Okay, what's that?
Sneaktoes.
Sneaktoes.
In case people don't die when he crushes
them.
Yeah, they're tracks.
It's smart.
Shoes!
Hey, do you want a sandwich?
A second.
Are those bones ashes?
What are you doing here?
Why do you have them all?
I don't.
Yes, you do.
It's right there.
Don't have it.
Never stop.
Never stop.
Never stop.
Ahhh!
I don't want to.
No.
Don't push the water.
Did dad see a leaf?
Oh, it's ruined.
Did dad see a leaf?
Come on.
Close the window!
What's that for paint?
Jack?
Don't feel bad.
No.
Thanks for leaving the newspapers out for
me to carry.
Morning.
Rick.
I think we got robbed.
What are you doing over there?
Working.
Did you at least call this in first?
It's the next thing I was going to do.
I think people really break in just to
steal office supplies.
We'll lose that amount.
Where are you going?
Good day.
Good day.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Goodness.
Look at that light.
Alright.
Let's go.
Amber?
I'm in here.
Amber, it's weird.
What are you doing?
Did you slip into the whole night?
I heard tapping on my window.
What's happening?
What kind of tapping?
Like scratching.
Well, it's probably just a bird.
Or a squirrel, sweetheart.
What in the...
Well, maybe it's just a bird poop or
something.
What a sick bird.
Let's get dressed.
Come on.
The bus is on its way.
Come on.
What are you doing out there?
Out of your business?
All of my business.
I'm telling you everything.
Did you just look my ear?
That's disgusting.
We'll talk about it on the bus.
No, we'll talk about it now.
No, we're going to talk about it on the
bus.
Hey, Jack.
Hey, Jack.
Hey, Amber, can you tell Ms. Thompson to
hold the bus for just a second?
Um, hey, is everything okay?
Yeah, why?
Well, I mean, I know I've been working
through some stuff with Amber lately,
and you might not feel like I'm really
available to you.
Yeah, you hear us?
It's fine.
But I am, and I know you'd be afraid to
come to me with anything.
What is it?
Your Amber's notebook.
Yeah.
I found this place in the woods where
Mommy used to, like, walk.
Yeah.
It fixed my phone and put this special
plate back together.
What are you talking about?
We dropped Amber's notebook in it.
And I'm worried that Amber's drawings
might be...
Yeah.
Alive.
Okay, get on the bus.
What?
I'm trying to be real with you,
man.
Oh, so am I.
Get on the bus.
What?
It always sounds crazy.
Hey, listen to me.
I love you so much.
And when you're ready to grow up and be
real with me, I'm here, okay?
Go.
You're gonna be late.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Okay, weirdo.
I'm not even gonna comment on how
disgusting this is, okay?
And how long have you had vines here?
Their roots are growing through the
screen, Taylor.
The people coming this morning are a
sweet, young, fiscally responsible,
and incredibly boring couple.
The only way they're not
gonna love this place is if
some creepy weirdo keeps
busting in every three minutes.
Just take my mug.
And I swear, Taylor, if you do that,
I will murder you in front of them.
What the hell is this?
My mug was right here.
I'll take care of it.
You go.
What about the mess?
You're holding it.
Oh, oh, oh, I see you
took down... All the faces?
Yeah, because the person that said they
would didn't.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Can I actually ask you a question about
the faces?
Yeah.
I noticed that...
was that intentional?
Yeah.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
What were you doing out there?
What was that sound?
Can we talk about this later?
It sounded like a roar.
It wasn't a roar.
Yes, it was.
If it was a roar, it was probably just a
mountain lion.
Hey, we don't have mountain lions.
Thanks.
No problem.
We do have bobcats, though.
It wasn't a bobcat.
It wasn't a bobcat.
What were you doing out there?
What was that pond?
And what made that roar sound?
A bobcat made that roar sound.
And the pond was just a pond.
And I was out there doing... My cousin
once saw a bobcat in his living room.
This is a private conversation.
Yeah, on a public bus.
What is that?
Old people music.
He's talking about the blue stuff in the
road.
Hey, guys, get back in your seats now.
Back in your seats.
Tell Miss Thompson we need to leave.
What?
Why?
Carol, it's 902.
Come in.
Miss Thompson.
Hey, I just came up here on a raccoon
Madison involved in a pickup truck.
Miss Thompson!
Amber, what is it?
It's not a bobcat.
It's not a bobcat.
It's gonna eat us!
Oh, it's gonna eat us and take our skin!
In that order?
You guys, calm down.
Maybe it's not as scary as it looks.
You all better be seated.
Are you okay?
Amber, are you okay?
Is anyone hurt?
She's dead.
We don't know that.
Miss Thompson, are you dead?
She's not going to answer you.
Because that's the signal for dead.
Miss Thompson?
I'm gonna check her vitals.
What are her vitals?
Something only boys have.
Her heart beat.
Is it one finger or two?
Try three.
I can feel her heart beat.
And I can see her breathing.
Front door is jammed.
Can we get out of the back door?
No.
Leave her alone!
She was saying we need to leave.
Stop screaming.
You are the reason it's time to do the
first place.
How?
You woke him up.
When he beat the horn.
His name is Dave.
He crushes people.
And a snake to his kill whoever doesn't
die from the crushing.
He used to be sleeping.
But you woke him up.
His name is Dave.
How do you make him fall asleep?
I don't know.
How do you make someone fall asleep?
Lullaby.
Hit and find them?
Sure.
I'm helping.
Lullaby.
The other car.
What other car?
The door opened.
When we got here, he was playing music.
You can make him fall asleep using music.
Where's my phone?
Jack, hurry!
Get over there!
It's not a phone.
It's an iPod.
It basically does everything a phone does
except call people.
Phone, can one of us have a turn?
Almost got it!
Turn it the other way.
You're doing it right.
Turn it on!
I got it!
Yes!
Done with this.
Hey, we're coming.
Now, call one of us up.
What's wrong with you?
I hate that kid.
This is the next track.
What is it?
Hello?
We're gonna be here.
Sorry, you're breaking up.
Can you repeat that?
What was my phone?
What was my phone?
I think this is the one.
Great.
Sorry, I can't find my phone on the scope.
It's trying to call me.
I think something might be wrong.
I'll try calling you.
Sorry.
I just lost my phone.
We usually don't have spiders around here.
Actually, I'm lying.
We have a ton of spiders within the other
ones.
Um, you're bleeding.
What?
I'm sorry, can you elaborate on what you
mean by a ton of spiders?
Taylor.
The school just called.
How'd you jave attacking the school bus?
Really?
I drew monsters attacking other people,
too.
Like who?
Hello?
Dave?
Shoo!
Bip!
Go on, leave!
Go away, you little...
What the heck?
Shoo!
Shoo!
Shoo!
Are you blind?
What are you doing here, saving you,
Beagle?
Order.
How do you beat this one?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just don't.
That's a cram.
What is that, marker?
Disgusting.
I'd like to go indoors now.
Two students are
accounted for at a gas
station down the road
with just minor injuries.
What are they, my kids?
We have Carson Quinn and DeMarcus
Davidson.
They said they did witness Jack,
Amber Wyatt, and Bowman Lynch make it off
the bus, but they can't confirm they made
it to the gas station.
They're probably headed home right now.
I bet that's where they're going.
Oh, God.
I knew she had something to do with this.
She's evil.
I feel like witch.
She's got a witch?
Maybe I am.
See, Amber, you're not a witch.
Stop saying that.
Dad!
Amber!
The van is gone.
Dad's not here.
How many of those things are out there
looking for me?
She didn't just draw them for you.
She drew them for a bunch of people.
Then I'll see you.
What is your deal?
Hey!
Back off!
You're back off!
You're just a witch, you aist!
It was her idea to save your life.
Not mine.
So call her a witch one more time.
She's a witch.
Are you for real?
You told me to sit down and face the wall.
And take your shoes off!
Dr. Lance at the drawing was the right
thing to do.
Whenever I thought of stuff like that,
I would try.
And then I wouldn't feel it anymore.
I promise I didn't want this.
I don't know how to get rid of them.
Look, I know you think I'm insane.
I'm processing it.
The spider I saw in the house looked exactly
like the one she drew in her notebook.
Well, don't you think it's possible that
she saw one of those things?
And that's what gave her the idea to draw
it in the first place?
No, because it was an eyeball with legs.
I saw an eyeball with legs, alright?
When do you see that?
And she says it goes around and steals
your personal belongings and stuff.
Come on.
She calls them iders.
Ugh, I love her brain.
Why would you say that?
No, I'm with you.
I'm here.
I just... I think maybe you're
being a little crazy right now.
Oh!
Yes.
What are you doing?
No, don't come out.
I know this cat.
What's wrong with you?
Don't touch me.
There's more to this cat than what's
letting on.
Did you just say there's more to this cat
than what it's letting on?
You just trust me on this, please.
Does it have some serious skin condition?
There was more to the cat.
I told you.
Shut up.
Amber drew that?
Just ourifying parts.
Huh.
She's working through some stuff.
What kind of stuff?
It needs to be a weapon.
Something that can kill them all at once.
A huge gun.
No.
A smoker.
No.
Punch smoker.
Stop talking.
I'm helping.
This needs to be something that will throw
to the pot.
That will instantly kill all the monsters,
but only the monsters at once.
Like slash kill at E.
Slash what at U?
Slash kill at sign E.
It's from Minecraft.
You put type equals and
whatever you want to kill in the
brackets, and it kills all
the entities of that type.
Like the one hit obliterator.
I don't think that's how the one hit
obliterator works.
You guys are nerds.
You just reference Zelda.
It's a good idea.
But you should do it.
Amber.
Me drawing is the start of this.
And maybe it's where we'll end it.
But this is where we'll end it.
That's just a huge gun with a bunch of
smaller guns.
Give me the marker.
No.
Give me the marker.
No.
Why are you like, just give me the marker.
You are the worst person.
That poor girl is never going to want to
draw anything ever again.
That's always kind of been her thing,
right?
What?
Drawing?
All kids like to draw.
Yeah, but has she
always been so... Dark?
I was going to say creative.
Creative, yes.
Dark, no.
Ever since.
Since what?
Okay, listen.
Do you know what we just experienced back
there?
Can you just help me focus on getting my
kids, please?
You have a hard time saying her name.
Amber?
Allie.
Okay, sure.
I'm preserving my energy.
Do the kids ever say her name?
They call her mom, Liz.
Have you ever talked about her?
No, I don't.
Would they if they wanted to?
Liz, come on.
You took all the pictures off the wall?
You kind of made the house look like she
never existed.
Do you think that might have something to
do with all this pent-up emotion?
No, I don't actually.
Come on, open up, dumbass.
Open up, dumbass?
Is that what you just said?
Do you think that any of this stuff might
be related?
No, I don't.
Taylor.
Of course it's related.
Of course it is.
It's 500% related, and there's nothing I
can do about it.
Nothing.
The only thing I can focus on is getting
past it.
Getting past this, getting past that.
What the hell is that?
That's too far away to be a threat,
right?
I know we're supposed
to be scared of it,
but it's kind of beautiful,
don't you think?
Don't run!
Did I do something to you?
A bunch of these, you drew for me.
Did I do something to you?
You got me in coming with Ms. Thompson.
You hide my pencil box every day.
I know what you're talking about.
You sit behind me and pull my hair,
then try to tell me it was a bird.
It was a bird.
You convinced Mrs. Sanchez to name the
class Hamster after me, so you could
announce the class every time Amber
pooped.
Okay, that one was pretty good,
and called me an orphan.
That was a compliment.
What?
Everyone who is an orphan?
Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, all the
Avengers.
Not Hulk.
Have we ever seen Hulk's parents?
Where are they?
At their house.
A haunted house.
Usually when someone
picks on you like this,
Amber, it means they're
secretly in love with you.
Really?
Because I think it means they're a creep.
Hey, do you actually want bad things to
happen to me?
See those things kill me and caught me in
half?
Like the one you drew on the bus?
I wasn't cutting you in half.
I was stabbing you really hard in the
stomach.
That's no better.
Okay.
Done.
You put this in the butt, and all the
monsters should lie down instantly.
It looks like a butt.
What doesn't?
See, those are legs, and that's the butt.
You're the butt.
You're the butt.
You guys ready?
No, I don't want to do this.
I have to go to the bathroom.
You couldn't have gone before we put all
the stuff on?
I didn't have to go then.
No, I have to go too.
Oh my...
How much longer are you going to be?
I just got in here.
How much pee is actually in you?
Dude, just use the one my dad fed you.
Out of the hole.
Roman!
It's over this.
It's over this.
Come on!
Dude!
Dude!
Who's Roman?
Have you just passed by now?
Have you ever tried to open this window?
I don't want to go to the bathroom
anymore.
Amber!
Jack!
Jack!
I'll call the police here.
Taylor!
Amber!
Taylor!
Jack!
Jack!
Amber!
Taylor, come on.
Jack!
Amber!
Jack!
Amber!
Amber!
Are you okay?
Amber, are you okay?
Are you crying because it hurts?
Or because months like just stole
everything you had.
Amber, come on.
Just give me a second.
We don't really have a second.
Amber, come on!
Amber, we don't have time for this.
Are you hurt?
Or can you keep going?
Listen.
I need you right now, Amber.
I can't do this alone.
Especially if you're fighting me on
everything.
Stop!
What's up?
Shut up for one second.
But go with me!
You never shut up.
You just keep talking and talking and
shouting orders at us.
And making a skull of your plan.
Stop!
What is wrong with you?
I'm trying to help you.
You know that?
Me?
Dad?
We're trying so hard.
Every day to help you.
It doesn't make me feel better.
It makes me feel like something's wrong.
Maybe something IS wrong with you.
Do you still have Mom's ashes in your
backpack?
What was that?
You're taking her to the pond,
right?
To finish what you tried to do last night?
To bring her back?
What do you think is going to happen,
Jack?
Are you just going to bring Mom home and
say surprise?
Well, that's... dark.
And then what?
I'll feel better?
What's wrong with that?
Why do I keep getting into all this sort
of big stuff?
Yes, you would feel better.
Be all good.
I
Actually noticed before you did.
She drew Alex Tattoo, that butterfly in her
notebook, and she had to do it by memory.
There's no reference of it in the house.
I took him down the night after she died
and put him in a suitcase.
Oh, yes.
Sorry, I'm here.
I'm here.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
They're sending two officers over.
They'll be here in 15 minutes.
Amber asked me the other night if they
were orphans.
Jeez.
Yeah, right?
That's what they're throwing at me.
Are they?
Yes, it's like fiefal movies every day on
a night.
No, are they orphans?
What?
What?
No.
I'm right here.
I'm alive.
I know you're alive.
What if they got to be called something?
What are they called?
Why do they have to be called something?
Don't look it up.
Don't look it up.
Come on, dead.
They're called the turtle orphans.
Okay, so they are called orphans.
Wow.
Sorry.
And Amber abbreviated it to morphine.
I mean, Jack and I were so surprised that
she even had a sense of humor.
She's had no sense of humor lately.
And so Jack tried to recreate her detail
too far.
She broke the special plates.
Do you want to hear my two cents on all
this?
No, I don't.
Okay, I'm going to tell you.
I think you should stop worrying so much
about the girl who's drawing pictures of
her pain and worry a little bit more about
the boys who are ignoring theirs.
Look at the cup.
Happy?
Look, look, there are doors here.
Thats a pint, isnt it?
Chill out.
You'll chill out.
That thing isn't after you.
It's after me.
I'm the one she drew with it, cutting me
in half.
Stabbing you really hard through the
stomach.
Stabbing me really hard through the
stomach.
She doesn't want you.
She wants everyone.
Anything that can die while she wants us
dead.
She wants everyone.
Is that why it's drawing more monsters?
It's drawing more monsters because that's
what she does.
It's basically you, right?
How many of those things do you think it's
drawing?
Is that how you see yourself?
I'm thinking like a million, right?
That thing looks nothing like you.
You're not like that.
You're smart.
You're funny.
You care about people.
You're not an evil person just because you
drew some evil pictures.
And anyone who thinks that is stupid and
deserves to be cut in half.
Stab really hard through the stomach.
Listen to me.
You also drew this.
That looks more like you.
Thanks for the sword, by the way.
It's the diamond sword.
What?
The line caps.
That's the diamond sword?
What did you draw this?
Isn't the diamond sword supposed to be
blue?
Who cares?
She drew a green.
Then it's not the diamond sword.
It's the emerald sword like a while ago.
Stop saying that that thing is you.
It's not.
It's just a thing you drew.
That's it.
And that's the emerald sword.
Can we shut up about the sword,
please?
I will not.
I am very right about this.
We should get out of these woods.
Wait, what?
We're not done.
We're done.
I should have never tried to fix this in
the first place.
It's the whole reason all this happened.
Do you know what I've been through today?
Yes.
I almost died in a bus crash.
A blooming monster tried to eat me.
You were there for all of this.
I fought off an army of shock monsters.
Single-handedly.
I'd come all this way.
Pea my parents twice.
Walked through like 50 spider webs.
Just to give up and go home before I got
to use my flamethrower.
Wait.
You've ruined everything.
You peaced your pants twice.
Well, we've been indoors most of the day.
Even if we did use the flamethrower,
we don't have a weapon anymore.
You is mine.
Watch and bring that for this exact
situation.
And also, I want to frame it.
It's not going to wipe them all out at
once.
Then we draw a new one.
I can't.
Why not?
Because we're having a similar draw with.
Yes, we do.
She was pulling sharpies and paper out of
that backpack.
We could use those to draw a new butt and
put it straight into the pot.
We really need to stop calling it a butt.
We'll find a big butt.
It was never a butt.
We just need to get her out of the pot.
I can use that.
This is a bad idea.
You know how fast you can run.
But I know how fast I can run.
How fast?
Lightning speed.
By the time she catches me, you have butt
2.0 in the pond and she'll be dead soon.
What if it doesn't work?
We're doing this.
Just make sure it works.
How are you going to get it to chase you?
By doing what I do best.
Being huge people.
That was supposed to be a whistle.
I've never tried to do it that loud
before.
I'm normally a very good whistler.
You want to come up here?
I want to show you something.
It's not cool.
Come on.
Hurry!
No.
What?
Her skin is crayon.
Yeah?
Good.
Close!
Close!
Close!
Close!
Close!
Close!
Who the hell are you?
Where are my kids?
Who are your kids?
Amber and Jack.
Oh!
I'm not afraid of you.
You're the sixth thing I drew.
She also drew this.
You want to be my girlfriend?
Wow.
My uncle can get us free movie tickets.
No!
That's cool.
Don't worry.
Where did you find that?
It was still in the pocket.
No.
Before.
Where did you find that before?
Jack!
Amber!
Daddy!
Amber?
What have I done to you?
Oh my God.
Why did you have to close it?
I did my arms in the pond to save Jack.
Then he saved me with the diamond sword.
By chopping evil aimless arm off.
It was amazing.
Every part of that was horrifying.
I know.
Jack, I think I know what you're about to
do.
Before you do it, please, hear me out.
I know you miss mom.
I miss her too.
I miss her so much.
And I have done a terrible job of letting
you guys see how much.
This whole time.
This whole time, I thought we had to fix
Amber.
But Amber was the only one doing what
we're supposed to be doing.
Not running from the pain.
Not covering it up.
But feeling it.
Because you're thoughtful.
Because you're compassionate.
You felt the need to fix it.
That's not your responsibility,
man.
Oh, you needed it.
I'm sorry.
She's gone.
I know.
I know.
What did we do?
I'm sorry.
So horrifying.
So beautiful.
