Slapface (2021) Movie Script
You know why
we have to do this.
You ready?
Oh, my gosh, Jesus Christ, Tom,
make a real sandwich.
I know how to make a sandwich.
No, you don't.
- Hey, bud.
- Hey.
[Mouse clicking]
[Mouse clicks]
[Mouse clicks]
I know you're still with me.
I love you.
[Rock music playing]
Uh, can I get a Sprite
and tequila?
Yeah.
Fancy drink.
I have discriminating taste.
That's a cool place for a tat.
What is it?
Guess. Some people can't.
[Clears throat]
Elephant.
Very good.
I got it
my semester abroad in Thailand.
Female elephants band together
to raise their offspring,
whereas the males go roaming off
on their own.
Funny, huh?
[Chuckles]
- Like...
- Tom.
Hi, Sheriff.
How about a word outside, Tom?
[Crickets chirping]
The Kenyans saw him running down
on North Lane,
and if I didn't pick him up,
for sure, he would have got
into more trouble.
What'd he do?
I took care of it.
Tom, I know
you're trying your best
and you're working,
which is great.
Yeah. [Sighs]
Thanks, John.
Your mom,
may she rest in peace,
would have been proud of you,
but I don't think
she would feel the same way
about Lucas right now.
You understand I'm trying
to cut you slack...
because of Nora.
She didn't want you boys
to be like your old man.
And I know that
you're better than that.
I just hope
you don't prove me wrong.
You maybe want to take Lucas
fishing again?
I know he looks up to you.
Tom, I have my job.
You have your job, and your job
is to straighten out
your brother.
You're running out of
"get out of jail free" cards.
You understand?
Say it.
I understand.
Okay.
[Slapping]
Harder.
[Guitar strumming]
Stop trying to get arrested.
Sheriff says you're running out
of "get out of jail free" cards.
Sheriff Thurston says,
"I loved your mother."
[Chuckles] I'm serious.
Go to bed.
[Sighs]
Hey.
Um, what... what was that?
We were just playing Slapface.
Are you... okay?
You seem okay.
[Sighs]
[Stove clicking]
[Utensils scraping,
pan sizzling]
It smells good.
Hey, go wake up your brother.
- Why?
- [Chuckles] Go. Just do it.
- Need my help?
- No. Get out.
- Go, go, shoo. [Chuckles]
- Okay. [Chuckles]
Wake up.
[Both laugh]
Say it again.
No, no, no, keep it up.
Tell me the story.
[Both laugh]
Oh, hey, I made you some eggs.
[Door opens, closes]
Okay, I guess
he, uh, doesn't like eggs.
Help!
Help! Help, someone!
Someone, help!
Help!
Come back, here pig!
Wait, wait! Cease fire!
Cease fire? Fuck you!
Okay, okay. Cease fire.
Come on, you.
Come here.
Come here,
or the truce is over.
You have to choose... fast.
Say you're sorry.
Sorry for whatever I've done.
I don't believe you.
[Grunting]
Get off! Ow!
Why did you steal
Moriah's notebook and her pen?
Get off! Ow, ow, ow! Stop it!
Why did you steal
Moriah's notebook and her pen?
She gave it to me!
You're a liar.
Tell the truth.
It was there, okay?!
Stop stalking Moriah,
you little turd face.
She doesn't even like you.
Now...
nod your head and say yes!
Yes, yes! Okay?!
Get up!
Get away.
Wait.
How bad do you want to be
part of the Nightshades?
Girls only.
We can make him
pull his pants down.
How about a dare?
Alright.
You know Wakefield?
First, she was a breeze
Then she was a tree
Then she was a witch
Shut up!
Killing all the parents
of the bad little boys
Virago
I said shut up!
Three minutes, and you can only
come out if you bring us a gift.
Go. Get in there.
Would you go in there?
No fucking way.
Can I go into town?
For what?
Want to go shopping?
Get a purse.
Yeah,
is that better than, what,
do you want to stay here
and chop wood and stuff?
Is that...? [Chuckles]
Isn't it... scary...
being all the way
out here in the woods?
No.
Want to know why?
Want to show you something.
Got it from my dad.
[Imitates gunshot]
Want to hold it?
Okay.
Scary.
It's loaded.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Keep a loaded gun
next to your bed?
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, what's going on
down there?
What can you see?
I don't know.
It's dark.
There's blood on the floor.
Rose, how much time is left?
Just another 30 seconds.
[Shouting]
[Shouting stops]
[Footsteps approach]
[Screaming]
[Gasps]
What happened?
Sorry, I ran away.
Did you see it?
See what?
Okay, I don't want us
to break up.
Are we dating?
No, I just... me and you.
No one else will ever know.
It's our secret.
Moriah, listen.
I saw something.
Call me.
[Gunshot]
[Laughs]
- That was really bad.
- That was awful. That was...
We're gonna try again.
We're gonna try again.
- Okay, thanks.
- Alright. Wait, don't... Okay.
Alright, so keep the bend
in your elbows.
Oh, sorry. Okay.
Spread your legs
a little wider.
Spread your legs a little wider.
Spread your legs
a little bit more.
[Laughs] Okay.
And look down the barrel.
- Okay.
- Breathe in.
Breathe out
and pull the trigger.
[Gunshot]
- Oh, fuck yeah! [Chuckles]
- There you go!
There you go.
Let's try it again.
- Let's try it again.
- I did it! Okay.
[Gunshot]
[Crickets chirping]
What the fuck, guys?
It's not that bad.
[Both laugh]
Aah!
Hey, ouch.
What happened to your hand?
Nothing.
Usually, I'm the chef
around here, so...
Yeah? Well, maybe...
maybe we can
make something together
sometime.
I make a mean bibimbap, so...
What is this one,
a chick playing the ukulele?
That one I got in Jersey.
She's got some
pretty nice boobs.
Kind of like
somebody else I know.
I need... I need
to take my pants off.
- [Laughs]
- You want to help me?
Saw a monster today.
- What?
- Nothing.
Cut myself.
Wait...
- Can I see?
- Come on, he's fine.
Wait, I think that you should
put some, um,
you should put some ice on it.
No, some, uh, some iodine.
Wait, I... uh, maybe I have
something in my bag.
He knows where the iodine is.
I'll let you guys
have your date.
Wait, no, you haven't even
finished your food.
Don't worry about him.
He's fucking Chuck Norris.
He's not here.
First, she was a breeze
Then she was a tree
Killing all the bag parents
Virago
Virago
Virago
Virago
Virago
[Wind whistling]
[Gate creaks]
[Metal clanging]
[Pounding, doorknob rattling]
[Snarling]
[Leaves rustling]
[Screaming]
Help!
[Screaming continues]
Someone help me! Help me!
Help!
[Birds chirping]
Hey, bud, come here for a sec.
You got a secret?
That girl... she came by again.
What girl?
My advice? Make herchase you.
Stop talking like Dad.
Hey, Lucas, why don't you drink
a nice, tall glass
of go fuck yourself?
Little shit.
So I saw your friend
sneaking around.
What friend?
You know...
your girlfriend.
She didn't bring me
the flowers,
if you're wondering.
I like her funky blue hair.
First, she was a breeze
Then she was a tree
Then she was a witch
Virago
Virago
Virago
Vira...
Is she the monster?
You know,
is she the one that's...
she the one that's hurting you?
She's doesn't hurt me.
She's my friend.
Hey, did you know
that I'm a witch?
Yeah.
Check it out.
I'm a Wiccan.
It's like... good witchcraft.
Their premise is harm none,
so it's not all...
drinking blood
and sacrificing babies.
How do you become a Wiccan?
Ride a broom or something?
[Chuckles] Yeah.
[Chuckles]
No, my dad was an evangelical.
Do you know that is?
I haven't seen him in 15 years.
Hmm.
My parents are dead.
So what'd you guys talk about?
Monsters.
That's cool.
We both got girlfriends now.
No, we don't.
No means no,
and always wear a condom.
[Coughs]
[Both laugh]
-It's not
the mighty Mississippi
[Both laugh]
Not the sunshine in LA
It's not a snowed-capped
Rocky Mountain...
My drunk brother
has a new girlfriend.
It's like she lives here now.
Do you like her?
She said she's a witch.
She good or bad?
I don't know.
I can have her make a spell
to kill the twins.
I'm sorry they're so mean
to you,
but they're my only friends.
You know how it is.
Can I come over?
What, to my house?
Yeah. Right now.
No, my mom would flip out.
She's nuts.
She might really like me.
No, she's totally crazy.
Like, "pick up a chair
and shake it around"
type of crazy.
It's not a trophy
on the mantle
Or that raise
that was overdue
It's not a wish
that has been granted
But being...
My mom's bipolar, you know?
- [Creaking, footsteps approach]
- That... doesn't scare me.
You there?
Where'd you go?
I-I'm right here,
talking to you.
What does he even do?
Do you even know?
Yes, he fucking goes out
and he hangs out,
- and that's what all kids do.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, are the fucking expert?
You're here for like
a couple of days,
and you fucking...
Why can't you just let it go?!
- Alright?
- You want me to go?
- Okay, fine, fine! I'll go.
- Fuck off, Anna!
[Door slams, engine starts]
[Engine revs]
Hey!
- Gross, don't look at us.
- Ew, get away, fuck stick!
I got this from Wakefield.
Yeah, nobody pay attention
to him. Just ignore his ass.
No, you listen.
Aww, are you a loser
like your brother?
Yeah, loser.
Is that why you want to join
the Nightshades?
To not be a loser?
Jesus Christ, guys.
We made a deal.
I think he wants
to get in with us, huh?
Is that it?
- Aww, how cute.
- You want to get in with us?
Ew, stop, no boys in the pool!
No penises in the pool.
God, get out!
[Both groaning]
- Get out. That's so disgusting.
- Gross.
- Jesus, why would...
- So skinny and gross.
Jesus, why would he even
come here?
God, he's just like
his brother.
[Sighs]
[Dog barking in distance]
[Indistinct shouting
in distance]
[Spits]
[Barking continues]
[Barking continues]
[Shouting continues]
Aah!
[Dog barking, growling]
Aah!
This is the third funeral
I've been to.
My uncle was the second.
Casket was half-closed.
Like this.
Tom made a joke and said...
"Maybe he's not wearing pants."
"The dead guy,
maybe he's not wearing pants."
[Sighs]
Come on, let's go.
It's just dog's blood.
Just tell us about it.
We're here to listen.
Why should I tell you?
You weren't even here.
You heard him.
It was dog's blood.
This isn't a joke.
You guys need to talk
to someone.
Talk to who? You?
I can listen, but...
it's not the same thing.
The first sign
of something going wrong,
you just leave.
You just up and ghost,
and you don't even say goodbye.
You don't... I don't know when
you're gonna come back.
You can't just leave
for two days
and expect us to be all warm
and fuzzy when you show up.
That's what I thought.
[Fingernails scraping]
[Birds chirping]
[Knock on window]
You know, my brother used to
trap insects under glass
and pour salt on them.
He thought it was funny, too.
Now he's in jail.
Yeah, and that's yourbrother.
Stop telling me
how to raise mine.
My little brother
is none of your fucking...
Do you ever wonder
what he does with himself?
I mean, where he goes
all day long.
How about
you don't worry about him.
If you want to talk,
let's talk about us.
No, and if he goes too far,
you'll just...
you'll play
a little game of Slapface.
I mean, where did you
learn that?
I'm not abusing my kid brother!
- It's not normal!
- Shut the fuck up!
You don't get it.
It's something just for us,
something to...
to clear the shit away.
Yeah, because all I'm seeing
is some serious fucking chaos!
[Sighs]
[Chuckles] What?
What, are you gonna hit me, too?
I don't hit women.
No.
Just little boys.
[Engine revs]
Stupid.
[Sighs]
Come on. Just take my hand.
Do this for me.
Let's just sit on the steps.
No.
I promise I won't let
anything bad happen to you.
Come, let's just meet my friend.
She's nice.
No, everything about this place
is bad.
I-It's just bad, okay?
Date's over. I'm done.
Moriah!
[Wind whistling]
[Indistinct conversation]
Hey, there. Can I have one?
I guess.
They never found the body.
These ones get it wrong.
She doesn't eat up the bad kids.
She's their friend.
[Cellphone chimes]
Oh, the twins
are waiting for me.
I got to go,
but I'll see you later.
[Birds chirping]
Tom?
Hello?
[Keys clatter]
Hello?
[Footsteps]
Who's that?
Hello?
Tom, i-it's Anna.
Say something.
Tom, I have your gun.
Lucas?
[Gasps]
[Gun cocks]
[Gunshot]
[Screams]
[Telephone rings]
Yeah?
Is he alright?
Okay, fine, I'll pick him up.
Anna, we got to go pick up Tom.
Anna?
Hey, Anna?
[Groans]
[Crickets chirping]
[Door creaks]
Why do you have
cowgirl boots on?
[Speaking Italian]
I have no idea what
you're saying, but it's so sexy.
Just give me
one straight answer. Is...
Tom, have you seen Anna?
Hey, this is
my little brother, Lucas...
- Stop it.
- ...here to join us.
- Lucas...
- Have you seen Anna?
Do you know
if Italy's shaped like a boot?
She's Italian,
but she won't tell me, and...
Her car's at home,
but she's not there.
Well, at least she didn't take
two days to come back this time.
Lucas,
it's time for you to go.
- It's time for youto go, Joe.
- Go where?
- What are you talking about, Tom?
- Get me another fucking beer.
- You don't need a fucking beer.
- Did you and Anna have a fight?
Don't fucking call me Tommy.
- Give me my fucking...
- Answer me!
- Don't fuck this up for me.
- Tom.
- What?
- Stop.
[Sighs]
Hey, it's Tom.
Yeah, I'm not
gonna make it today.
Where are you?!
Come on out! Come out!
I know you're there!
Come out! Come out!
I know you're there! Come out!
Come out!
Excuse me.
There's a girl staying here.
Her name's Anna.
I was wondering
if you've seen her.
Why don't you tell me?
You're driving her car.
Lucas, come here.
I want to show you something.
Can you tell me anything
about that?
That's a .357 Magnum.
Been fucking around
with dad's gun?
We don't hide things
from each other.
- Did you hurt her?
- No.
Then tell me what happened!
We gonna play Slapface?
This isn't a game.
I'm not playing.
Did she... Did she come home?
Did she... start a fight,
get in your face,
piss you off?
You get Dad's gun
to try to scare her?
Maybe the monster got her!
I'm done with that shit!
Do you want her to go out
and get a social worker
and take you away?!
Is that what you want?!
[Both breathing heavily]
We're all we've got, man.
Just us.
Now, tell me what happened.
Don't be such an idiot, Moriah.
Maxi pads go on the outside
of your underwear.
Do you want to get blood
all over your clothes?
So why did you change your hair
like that?
The Nightshades wear blue.
You know, Moriah,
I didn't want to say anything,
but... it makes your hair
look kind of ugly.
[Both laugh]
I mean, look at her.
[Both laugh]
Sorry I'm late.
Traffic was a nightmare.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hey.
- You girls have fun?
- Yeah, totally.
Everything okay, sweetie?
- Yeah. Everything's great.
- [Chuckles]
Lucas?
Lucas?
Will you get my beer?
My little baby bro.
My... My bigbaby bro.
Thank you.
I was thinking maybe
we... we could go to Florida.
Hey. Sit down.
You know, because we haven't
been there since...
Mom and Dad.
I can't stop thinking
about that night.
I knew Dad was gone on impact,
but...
I keep picturing Mom.
Her face right before
the air bags went off...
...and we couldn't get out,
and then we did,
and the water was so cold
and it was rushing
and I thought
she was behind us, but...
I thought she was behind us.
[ Sniffles ]
We promised
not to talk about that.
[Crying]
Why do you have to be such a
jerk when you're with the twins?
- What?
- Nothing.
Maybe we can play a game
called Slapface?
What's that?
[Man screams]
What was that?
Tom!
Tom, what's wrong?!
[Tom shouting]
What happened? What?!
You see him?
- There he is!
- [Gasps] Oh!
- Get a weapon!
- Get it, get it!
He's behind the couch!
Where'd it go? Where'd it go?
- It's... It's this way!
- This way?
- Yeah.
- Where'd it go?
- He's going this way.
- Where...
There he is! Get him!
Oh! [Grunts]
Frick!
[Rat squealing]
[Squealing stops]
[Chuckles]
You picked the wrong house,
little guy.
Got him.
Okay, I-I have to go.
Moriah, wait!
Moriah!
No, I'm leaving, okay?
We're breaking up.
Just stay away from me.
Just let her go, man.
Let's go inside.
Tom, come on! Let's go!
[Horn honks]
[Horn honks]
[Sighs]
[Horn blares]
Oh, you get your beauty sleep,
princess?
[Rap music playing]
[Truck door closes]
[Truck departs]
[Grunts]
[Snarls, shrieks]
Put... that... back.
Give it to me!
This isn't a joke!
Let go!
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop! Stop!
[Snarls]
- Later.
- Later.
[Door opens]
Lucas?
Did Anna come back?
Oh, shit, oh shit.
Get in, and don't come out!
Don't come out until I say,
no matter what!
Understand?! Stay!
We're gonna play Slapface.
This is gonna hurt.
You ready?
Again. Harder.
Harder.
This is our house, man.
We live here.
[Slap]
Look at me!
What happened with Anna?
What happened to Anna?!
[Crying] I love you, Tom.
I love you so much, Tom.
I love you.
You can't hit me anymore.
She'll hurt you.
Who? Anna?
What happened?
What's this doing out?
Is she the monster?
She the one that's hurting you?
- Stop!
- Get his arm.
Stop it! [Groans]
Stop! Get off!
This is what you get
for stalking our friend.
Stop it! Get off of me!
- Get up!
- Stop!
Moriah!
Spit on him.
- No, no!
- Do it!
Moriah, don't!
- She'll hurt you, too! Don't!
- [Spits]
[Laughter]
Now take his pants off.
Let's see his little wiener.
We'll hold him.
You get his belt.
Stop! Stop!
[Monster shrieks]
What was that?
- Oh!
- Oh!
[Groans] Fuck.
Are you okay?
Let's get him.
Where did he go?
Oh, oh, I saw him run that way.
Come on!
We're gonna get you, Lucas!
Oh! Here's over there, come on!
Spread out.
Come out, come out,
wherever you are!
Lucas!
I know you're out there!
Where are you?
Hey!
Just me.
You there?
Look, please come out
and talk to me.
[Sighs]
I know you're really mad at me.
I was scared.
[Sighs]
I'm really sorry.
Lucas?
[Screams]
Moriah!
You okay?
Wake up. Wake up.
This is not a joke. Wake up.
I know you're... help!
Help me, please!
Guys, guys, help!
Help me!
[Crying]
Moriah.
This isn't funny. Wake up.
[Crying]
Help!
Help, anyone!
You.
You did this, didn't you?
Stop it!
[Crying]
You stupid...
[Grunts]
[Sobbing]
Sheriff Thurston.
Let me talk to him.
No chance.
Please.
I just got to see him.
You better find yourself
a lawyer.
It's not my job
to recommend one.
Get out of here, Tom.
So there are monsters.
[Police radio chatter]
Lucas, sometimes...
we do terrible things.
We can't help ourselves.
Want to tell me what happened?
Want me to guess?
I'm not a psychic.
Virago.
First... she was a breeze.
Then she was a tree.
I grew up down on Bowling Lane,
not far from
where you guys are at.
The monster's real,
Sheriff Thurston.
You know...
your mother asked me
to stop coming by
because your father
was acting crazy.
She was trying to protect me.
I remember how mad you got
when the last time I saw her.
You were kicking the walls
and smashing plates.
You were batshit crazy.
I didn't want you to leave.
Mm, you've got a temper.
Virago.
Come on, son.
Tell me the truth.
Who was the monster, Lucas?
Are you the monster, Lucas?
- No!
- Come on.
- She's gone.
- Baby!
[Sobbing]
- I'm sorry.
- [Crying]
She got hurt real bad.
Come on. Come on, we got to go.
[Sobbing]
- Babe, we got to go.
- Okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
Oh, it's okay. It's okay.
Sometimes,
really bad things happen.
Thank God you two are safe.
Sir, are you a member
of a family?
I really think
you need to leave.
[Alarm blaring]
[Gasps]
[Electricity crackling]
[Alarm continues]
[Electricity crackling]
[Alarm continues]
[Police radio chatter]
[Snarling]
[Gun clatters]
If you want to know
anything else,
talk to the police.
- Go home, Tom.
- Get your hands off me.
You already know what happened.
Why don't you get off my car?
Why don't you get lost?
Mr. "get out of jail free" card.
Brother's in real deep shit now.
[Police radio chatter]
This is Leggett.
What's your 10-2?
Come back to the station.
Jesus Christ, it's horrible.
Copy. We're on the move.
[Police radio chatter]
[Cellphone ringing]
Lucas.
Come home.
There's something I got to know.
Are you good?
Or evil?
I want to believe you're good...
...but you hurt so many people.
So you must be evil.
[Crying]
S-So there's something
I've got to know.
Was it all because of me?
We can't be friends.
[Engine shuts off]
[Door opens]
Lucas!
Tom?
No. No!
No! No! [Screaming]
No!
Tom?
Tom! [Crying]
It's Slapface!
It's Slapface!
[Grunts]
[Snarls]
[Crying]
Stop it!
[Sobbing]
[Gunshots]
[Crying]
Tom!
Wake up.
Wake up!
Tom.
Wake up!
Wake up!
Tom, wake up!
Wake up!
Tom!
Wake up!
[Sobbing]
Wake up!
Tom, wake up!
Wake up!
[Sobbing] Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
I can hear the voices
Can't block out the noises
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
They call to me
She haunts me,
then she baits me
Like candy from a baby
I couldn't fight
She knows that I'm a puppet
on her string
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
When I hear the voices
Can't control the choices
This prison cell
My living Hell
Won't set me free
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
I still hear the voices
And I've embraced the noises
Just when I think
It's safe to breathe
[Inhales deeply]
She calls to me
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
She calls to me
Turn down the voices
No need to run
No, I can't hide
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
She calls to me
Turn down the voices
No need to run
No, I can't hide
Turn down the voices
Can't hide,
can't hide, can't hide
we have to do this.
You ready?
Oh, my gosh, Jesus Christ, Tom,
make a real sandwich.
I know how to make a sandwich.
No, you don't.
- Hey, bud.
- Hey.
[Mouse clicking]
[Mouse clicks]
[Mouse clicks]
I know you're still with me.
I love you.
[Rock music playing]
Uh, can I get a Sprite
and tequila?
Yeah.
Fancy drink.
I have discriminating taste.
That's a cool place for a tat.
What is it?
Guess. Some people can't.
[Clears throat]
Elephant.
Very good.
I got it
my semester abroad in Thailand.
Female elephants band together
to raise their offspring,
whereas the males go roaming off
on their own.
Funny, huh?
[Chuckles]
- Like...
- Tom.
Hi, Sheriff.
How about a word outside, Tom?
[Crickets chirping]
The Kenyans saw him running down
on North Lane,
and if I didn't pick him up,
for sure, he would have got
into more trouble.
What'd he do?
I took care of it.
Tom, I know
you're trying your best
and you're working,
which is great.
Yeah. [Sighs]
Thanks, John.
Your mom,
may she rest in peace,
would have been proud of you,
but I don't think
she would feel the same way
about Lucas right now.
You understand I'm trying
to cut you slack...
because of Nora.
She didn't want you boys
to be like your old man.
And I know that
you're better than that.
I just hope
you don't prove me wrong.
You maybe want to take Lucas
fishing again?
I know he looks up to you.
Tom, I have my job.
You have your job, and your job
is to straighten out
your brother.
You're running out of
"get out of jail free" cards.
You understand?
Say it.
I understand.
Okay.
[Slapping]
Harder.
[Guitar strumming]
Stop trying to get arrested.
Sheriff says you're running out
of "get out of jail free" cards.
Sheriff Thurston says,
"I loved your mother."
[Chuckles] I'm serious.
Go to bed.
[Sighs]
Hey.
Um, what... what was that?
We were just playing Slapface.
Are you... okay?
You seem okay.
[Sighs]
[Stove clicking]
[Utensils scraping,
pan sizzling]
It smells good.
Hey, go wake up your brother.
- Why?
- [Chuckles] Go. Just do it.
- Need my help?
- No. Get out.
- Go, go, shoo. [Chuckles]
- Okay. [Chuckles]
Wake up.
[Both laugh]
Say it again.
No, no, no, keep it up.
Tell me the story.
[Both laugh]
Oh, hey, I made you some eggs.
[Door opens, closes]
Okay, I guess
he, uh, doesn't like eggs.
Help!
Help! Help, someone!
Someone, help!
Help!
Come back, here pig!
Wait, wait! Cease fire!
Cease fire? Fuck you!
Okay, okay. Cease fire.
Come on, you.
Come here.
Come here,
or the truce is over.
You have to choose... fast.
Say you're sorry.
Sorry for whatever I've done.
I don't believe you.
[Grunting]
Get off! Ow!
Why did you steal
Moriah's notebook and her pen?
Get off! Ow, ow, ow! Stop it!
Why did you steal
Moriah's notebook and her pen?
She gave it to me!
You're a liar.
Tell the truth.
It was there, okay?!
Stop stalking Moriah,
you little turd face.
She doesn't even like you.
Now...
nod your head and say yes!
Yes, yes! Okay?!
Get up!
Get away.
Wait.
How bad do you want to be
part of the Nightshades?
Girls only.
We can make him
pull his pants down.
How about a dare?
Alright.
You know Wakefield?
First, she was a breeze
Then she was a tree
Then she was a witch
Shut up!
Killing all the parents
of the bad little boys
Virago
I said shut up!
Three minutes, and you can only
come out if you bring us a gift.
Go. Get in there.
Would you go in there?
No fucking way.
Can I go into town?
For what?
Want to go shopping?
Get a purse.
Yeah,
is that better than, what,
do you want to stay here
and chop wood and stuff?
Is that...? [Chuckles]
Isn't it... scary...
being all the way
out here in the woods?
No.
Want to know why?
Want to show you something.
Got it from my dad.
[Imitates gunshot]
Want to hold it?
Okay.
Scary.
It's loaded.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Keep a loaded gun
next to your bed?
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, what's going on
down there?
What can you see?
I don't know.
It's dark.
There's blood on the floor.
Rose, how much time is left?
Just another 30 seconds.
[Shouting]
[Shouting stops]
[Footsteps approach]
[Screaming]
[Gasps]
What happened?
Sorry, I ran away.
Did you see it?
See what?
Okay, I don't want us
to break up.
Are we dating?
No, I just... me and you.
No one else will ever know.
It's our secret.
Moriah, listen.
I saw something.
Call me.
[Gunshot]
[Laughs]
- That was really bad.
- That was awful. That was...
We're gonna try again.
We're gonna try again.
- Okay, thanks.
- Alright. Wait, don't... Okay.
Alright, so keep the bend
in your elbows.
Oh, sorry. Okay.
Spread your legs
a little wider.
Spread your legs a little wider.
Spread your legs
a little bit more.
[Laughs] Okay.
And look down the barrel.
- Okay.
- Breathe in.
Breathe out
and pull the trigger.
[Gunshot]
- Oh, fuck yeah! [Chuckles]
- There you go!
There you go.
Let's try it again.
- Let's try it again.
- I did it! Okay.
[Gunshot]
[Crickets chirping]
What the fuck, guys?
It's not that bad.
[Both laugh]
Aah!
Hey, ouch.
What happened to your hand?
Nothing.
Usually, I'm the chef
around here, so...
Yeah? Well, maybe...
maybe we can
make something together
sometime.
I make a mean bibimbap, so...
What is this one,
a chick playing the ukulele?
That one I got in Jersey.
She's got some
pretty nice boobs.
Kind of like
somebody else I know.
I need... I need
to take my pants off.
- [Laughs]
- You want to help me?
Saw a monster today.
- What?
- Nothing.
Cut myself.
Wait...
- Can I see?
- Come on, he's fine.
Wait, I think that you should
put some, um,
you should put some ice on it.
No, some, uh, some iodine.
Wait, I... uh, maybe I have
something in my bag.
He knows where the iodine is.
I'll let you guys
have your date.
Wait, no, you haven't even
finished your food.
Don't worry about him.
He's fucking Chuck Norris.
He's not here.
First, she was a breeze
Then she was a tree
Killing all the bag parents
Virago
Virago
Virago
Virago
Virago
[Wind whistling]
[Gate creaks]
[Metal clanging]
[Pounding, doorknob rattling]
[Snarling]
[Leaves rustling]
[Screaming]
Help!
[Screaming continues]
Someone help me! Help me!
Help!
[Birds chirping]
Hey, bud, come here for a sec.
You got a secret?
That girl... she came by again.
What girl?
My advice? Make herchase you.
Stop talking like Dad.
Hey, Lucas, why don't you drink
a nice, tall glass
of go fuck yourself?
Little shit.
So I saw your friend
sneaking around.
What friend?
You know...
your girlfriend.
She didn't bring me
the flowers,
if you're wondering.
I like her funky blue hair.
First, she was a breeze
Then she was a tree
Then she was a witch
Virago
Virago
Virago
Vira...
Is she the monster?
You know,
is she the one that's...
she the one that's hurting you?
She's doesn't hurt me.
She's my friend.
Hey, did you know
that I'm a witch?
Yeah.
Check it out.
I'm a Wiccan.
It's like... good witchcraft.
Their premise is harm none,
so it's not all...
drinking blood
and sacrificing babies.
How do you become a Wiccan?
Ride a broom or something?
[Chuckles] Yeah.
[Chuckles]
No, my dad was an evangelical.
Do you know that is?
I haven't seen him in 15 years.
Hmm.
My parents are dead.
So what'd you guys talk about?
Monsters.
That's cool.
We both got girlfriends now.
No, we don't.
No means no,
and always wear a condom.
[Coughs]
[Both laugh]
-It's not
the mighty Mississippi
[Both laugh]
Not the sunshine in LA
It's not a snowed-capped
Rocky Mountain...
My drunk brother
has a new girlfriend.
It's like she lives here now.
Do you like her?
She said she's a witch.
She good or bad?
I don't know.
I can have her make a spell
to kill the twins.
I'm sorry they're so mean
to you,
but they're my only friends.
You know how it is.
Can I come over?
What, to my house?
Yeah. Right now.
No, my mom would flip out.
She's nuts.
She might really like me.
No, she's totally crazy.
Like, "pick up a chair
and shake it around"
type of crazy.
It's not a trophy
on the mantle
Or that raise
that was overdue
It's not a wish
that has been granted
But being...
My mom's bipolar, you know?
- [Creaking, footsteps approach]
- That... doesn't scare me.
You there?
Where'd you go?
I-I'm right here,
talking to you.
What does he even do?
Do you even know?
Yes, he fucking goes out
and he hangs out,
- and that's what all kids do.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, are the fucking expert?
You're here for like
a couple of days,
and you fucking...
Why can't you just let it go?!
- Alright?
- You want me to go?
- Okay, fine, fine! I'll go.
- Fuck off, Anna!
[Door slams, engine starts]
[Engine revs]
Hey!
- Gross, don't look at us.
- Ew, get away, fuck stick!
I got this from Wakefield.
Yeah, nobody pay attention
to him. Just ignore his ass.
No, you listen.
Aww, are you a loser
like your brother?
Yeah, loser.
Is that why you want to join
the Nightshades?
To not be a loser?
Jesus Christ, guys.
We made a deal.
I think he wants
to get in with us, huh?
Is that it?
- Aww, how cute.
- You want to get in with us?
Ew, stop, no boys in the pool!
No penises in the pool.
God, get out!
[Both groaning]
- Get out. That's so disgusting.
- Gross.
- Jesus, why would...
- So skinny and gross.
Jesus, why would he even
come here?
God, he's just like
his brother.
[Sighs]
[Dog barking in distance]
[Indistinct shouting
in distance]
[Spits]
[Barking continues]
[Barking continues]
[Shouting continues]
Aah!
[Dog barking, growling]
Aah!
This is the third funeral
I've been to.
My uncle was the second.
Casket was half-closed.
Like this.
Tom made a joke and said...
"Maybe he's not wearing pants."
"The dead guy,
maybe he's not wearing pants."
[Sighs]
Come on, let's go.
It's just dog's blood.
Just tell us about it.
We're here to listen.
Why should I tell you?
You weren't even here.
You heard him.
It was dog's blood.
This isn't a joke.
You guys need to talk
to someone.
Talk to who? You?
I can listen, but...
it's not the same thing.
The first sign
of something going wrong,
you just leave.
You just up and ghost,
and you don't even say goodbye.
You don't... I don't know when
you're gonna come back.
You can't just leave
for two days
and expect us to be all warm
and fuzzy when you show up.
That's what I thought.
[Fingernails scraping]
[Birds chirping]
[Knock on window]
You know, my brother used to
trap insects under glass
and pour salt on them.
He thought it was funny, too.
Now he's in jail.
Yeah, and that's yourbrother.
Stop telling me
how to raise mine.
My little brother
is none of your fucking...
Do you ever wonder
what he does with himself?
I mean, where he goes
all day long.
How about
you don't worry about him.
If you want to talk,
let's talk about us.
No, and if he goes too far,
you'll just...
you'll play
a little game of Slapface.
I mean, where did you
learn that?
I'm not abusing my kid brother!
- It's not normal!
- Shut the fuck up!
You don't get it.
It's something just for us,
something to...
to clear the shit away.
Yeah, because all I'm seeing
is some serious fucking chaos!
[Sighs]
[Chuckles] What?
What, are you gonna hit me, too?
I don't hit women.
No.
Just little boys.
[Engine revs]
Stupid.
[Sighs]
Come on. Just take my hand.
Do this for me.
Let's just sit on the steps.
No.
I promise I won't let
anything bad happen to you.
Come, let's just meet my friend.
She's nice.
No, everything about this place
is bad.
I-It's just bad, okay?
Date's over. I'm done.
Moriah!
[Wind whistling]
[Indistinct conversation]
Hey, there. Can I have one?
I guess.
They never found the body.
These ones get it wrong.
She doesn't eat up the bad kids.
She's their friend.
[Cellphone chimes]
Oh, the twins
are waiting for me.
I got to go,
but I'll see you later.
[Birds chirping]
Tom?
Hello?
[Keys clatter]
Hello?
[Footsteps]
Who's that?
Hello?
Tom, i-it's Anna.
Say something.
Tom, I have your gun.
Lucas?
[Gasps]
[Gun cocks]
[Gunshot]
[Screams]
[Telephone rings]
Yeah?
Is he alright?
Okay, fine, I'll pick him up.
Anna, we got to go pick up Tom.
Anna?
Hey, Anna?
[Groans]
[Crickets chirping]
[Door creaks]
Why do you have
cowgirl boots on?
[Speaking Italian]
I have no idea what
you're saying, but it's so sexy.
Just give me
one straight answer. Is...
Tom, have you seen Anna?
Hey, this is
my little brother, Lucas...
- Stop it.
- ...here to join us.
- Lucas...
- Have you seen Anna?
Do you know
if Italy's shaped like a boot?
She's Italian,
but she won't tell me, and...
Her car's at home,
but she's not there.
Well, at least she didn't take
two days to come back this time.
Lucas,
it's time for you to go.
- It's time for youto go, Joe.
- Go where?
- What are you talking about, Tom?
- Get me another fucking beer.
- You don't need a fucking beer.
- Did you and Anna have a fight?
Don't fucking call me Tommy.
- Give me my fucking...
- Answer me!
- Don't fuck this up for me.
- Tom.
- What?
- Stop.
[Sighs]
Hey, it's Tom.
Yeah, I'm not
gonna make it today.
Where are you?!
Come on out! Come out!
I know you're there!
Come out! Come out!
I know you're there! Come out!
Come out!
Excuse me.
There's a girl staying here.
Her name's Anna.
I was wondering
if you've seen her.
Why don't you tell me?
You're driving her car.
Lucas, come here.
I want to show you something.
Can you tell me anything
about that?
That's a .357 Magnum.
Been fucking around
with dad's gun?
We don't hide things
from each other.
- Did you hurt her?
- No.
Then tell me what happened!
We gonna play Slapface?
This isn't a game.
I'm not playing.
Did she... Did she come home?
Did she... start a fight,
get in your face,
piss you off?
You get Dad's gun
to try to scare her?
Maybe the monster got her!
I'm done with that shit!
Do you want her to go out
and get a social worker
and take you away?!
Is that what you want?!
[Both breathing heavily]
We're all we've got, man.
Just us.
Now, tell me what happened.
Don't be such an idiot, Moriah.
Maxi pads go on the outside
of your underwear.
Do you want to get blood
all over your clothes?
So why did you change your hair
like that?
The Nightshades wear blue.
You know, Moriah,
I didn't want to say anything,
but... it makes your hair
look kind of ugly.
[Both laugh]
I mean, look at her.
[Both laugh]
Sorry I'm late.
Traffic was a nightmare.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hey.
- You girls have fun?
- Yeah, totally.
Everything okay, sweetie?
- Yeah. Everything's great.
- [Chuckles]
Lucas?
Lucas?
Will you get my beer?
My little baby bro.
My... My bigbaby bro.
Thank you.
I was thinking maybe
we... we could go to Florida.
Hey. Sit down.
You know, because we haven't
been there since...
Mom and Dad.
I can't stop thinking
about that night.
I knew Dad was gone on impact,
but...
I keep picturing Mom.
Her face right before
the air bags went off...
...and we couldn't get out,
and then we did,
and the water was so cold
and it was rushing
and I thought
she was behind us, but...
I thought she was behind us.
[ Sniffles ]
We promised
not to talk about that.
[Crying]
Why do you have to be such a
jerk when you're with the twins?
- What?
- Nothing.
Maybe we can play a game
called Slapface?
What's that?
[Man screams]
What was that?
Tom!
Tom, what's wrong?!
[Tom shouting]
What happened? What?!
You see him?
- There he is!
- [Gasps] Oh!
- Get a weapon!
- Get it, get it!
He's behind the couch!
Where'd it go? Where'd it go?
- It's... It's this way!
- This way?
- Yeah.
- Where'd it go?
- He's going this way.
- Where...
There he is! Get him!
Oh! [Grunts]
Frick!
[Rat squealing]
[Squealing stops]
[Chuckles]
You picked the wrong house,
little guy.
Got him.
Okay, I-I have to go.
Moriah, wait!
Moriah!
No, I'm leaving, okay?
We're breaking up.
Just stay away from me.
Just let her go, man.
Let's go inside.
Tom, come on! Let's go!
[Horn honks]
[Horn honks]
[Sighs]
[Horn blares]
Oh, you get your beauty sleep,
princess?
[Rap music playing]
[Truck door closes]
[Truck departs]
[Grunts]
[Snarls, shrieks]
Put... that... back.
Give it to me!
This isn't a joke!
Let go!
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop! Stop!
[Snarls]
- Later.
- Later.
[Door opens]
Lucas?
Did Anna come back?
Oh, shit, oh shit.
Get in, and don't come out!
Don't come out until I say,
no matter what!
Understand?! Stay!
We're gonna play Slapface.
This is gonna hurt.
You ready?
Again. Harder.
Harder.
This is our house, man.
We live here.
[Slap]
Look at me!
What happened with Anna?
What happened to Anna?!
[Crying] I love you, Tom.
I love you so much, Tom.
I love you.
You can't hit me anymore.
She'll hurt you.
Who? Anna?
What happened?
What's this doing out?
Is she the monster?
She the one that's hurting you?
- Stop!
- Get his arm.
Stop it! [Groans]
Stop! Get off!
This is what you get
for stalking our friend.
Stop it! Get off of me!
- Get up!
- Stop!
Moriah!
Spit on him.
- No, no!
- Do it!
Moriah, don't!
- She'll hurt you, too! Don't!
- [Spits]
[Laughter]
Now take his pants off.
Let's see his little wiener.
We'll hold him.
You get his belt.
Stop! Stop!
[Monster shrieks]
What was that?
- Oh!
- Oh!
[Groans] Fuck.
Are you okay?
Let's get him.
Where did he go?
Oh, oh, I saw him run that way.
Come on!
We're gonna get you, Lucas!
Oh! Here's over there, come on!
Spread out.
Come out, come out,
wherever you are!
Lucas!
I know you're out there!
Where are you?
Hey!
Just me.
You there?
Look, please come out
and talk to me.
[Sighs]
I know you're really mad at me.
I was scared.
[Sighs]
I'm really sorry.
Lucas?
[Screams]
Moriah!
You okay?
Wake up. Wake up.
This is not a joke. Wake up.
I know you're... help!
Help me, please!
Guys, guys, help!
Help me!
[Crying]
Moriah.
This isn't funny. Wake up.
[Crying]
Help!
Help, anyone!
You.
You did this, didn't you?
Stop it!
[Crying]
You stupid...
[Grunts]
[Sobbing]
Sheriff Thurston.
Let me talk to him.
No chance.
Please.
I just got to see him.
You better find yourself
a lawyer.
It's not my job
to recommend one.
Get out of here, Tom.
So there are monsters.
[Police radio chatter]
Lucas, sometimes...
we do terrible things.
We can't help ourselves.
Want to tell me what happened?
Want me to guess?
I'm not a psychic.
Virago.
First... she was a breeze.
Then she was a tree.
I grew up down on Bowling Lane,
not far from
where you guys are at.
The monster's real,
Sheriff Thurston.
You know...
your mother asked me
to stop coming by
because your father
was acting crazy.
She was trying to protect me.
I remember how mad you got
when the last time I saw her.
You were kicking the walls
and smashing plates.
You were batshit crazy.
I didn't want you to leave.
Mm, you've got a temper.
Virago.
Come on, son.
Tell me the truth.
Who was the monster, Lucas?
Are you the monster, Lucas?
- No!
- Come on.
- She's gone.
- Baby!
[Sobbing]
- I'm sorry.
- [Crying]
She got hurt real bad.
Come on. Come on, we got to go.
[Sobbing]
- Babe, we got to go.
- Okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
Oh, it's okay. It's okay.
Sometimes,
really bad things happen.
Thank God you two are safe.
Sir, are you a member
of a family?
I really think
you need to leave.
[Alarm blaring]
[Gasps]
[Electricity crackling]
[Alarm continues]
[Electricity crackling]
[Alarm continues]
[Police radio chatter]
[Snarling]
[Gun clatters]
If you want to know
anything else,
talk to the police.
- Go home, Tom.
- Get your hands off me.
You already know what happened.
Why don't you get off my car?
Why don't you get lost?
Mr. "get out of jail free" card.
Brother's in real deep shit now.
[Police radio chatter]
This is Leggett.
What's your 10-2?
Come back to the station.
Jesus Christ, it's horrible.
Copy. We're on the move.
[Police radio chatter]
[Cellphone ringing]
Lucas.
Come home.
There's something I got to know.
Are you good?
Or evil?
I want to believe you're good...
...but you hurt so many people.
So you must be evil.
[Crying]
S-So there's something
I've got to know.
Was it all because of me?
We can't be friends.
[Engine shuts off]
[Door opens]
Lucas!
Tom?
No. No!
No! No! [Screaming]
No!
Tom?
Tom! [Crying]
It's Slapface!
It's Slapface!
[Grunts]
[Snarls]
[Crying]
Stop it!
[Sobbing]
[Gunshots]
[Crying]
Tom!
Wake up.
Wake up!
Tom.
Wake up!
Wake up!
Tom, wake up!
Wake up!
Tom!
Wake up!
[Sobbing]
Wake up!
Tom, wake up!
Wake up!
[Sobbing] Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
I can hear the voices
Can't block out the noises
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
They call to me
She haunts me,
then she baits me
Like candy from a baby
I couldn't fight
She knows that I'm a puppet
on her string
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
When I hear the voices
Can't control the choices
This prison cell
My living Hell
Won't set me free
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
I still hear the voices
And I've embraced the noises
Just when I think
It's safe to breathe
[Inhales deeply]
She calls to me
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
She calls to me
Turn down the voices
No need to run
No, I can't hide
Turn down the voices
Turn down the voices
She calls to me
Turn down the voices
No need to run
No, I can't hide
Turn down the voices
Can't hide,
can't hide, can't hide
