Spike (2008) Movie Script
[ Guitar music ]
[ Maude Maggart
singing 'When I Lost You'
by Irving Berlin ]
I lost the sunshine
And roses
I lost the heavens of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow
I lost the morning dew
I lost the angel who gave me
Summer
The whole winter through
I lost the gladness
It turned into sadness
When I lost you
[ Tire blows out ]
pow!
>> Fr...!
[ Turns off music ]
Click
Bro! Sorry.
>> You okay?
>> He told me he...
I thought he wanted me.
>> He's no good for you.
>> You were good for me.
And I didn't appreciate it.
Sorry. Sorry.
Ssoorrryy.
Sorry.
>> What is it?
>> Nothing.
It's just a flat.
I'm on top of it.
>> My hero.
[ They scream ]
[ Tires pop ]
pow! pow!
[ something clambers
across the roof ]
[ they scream ]
[ Tire pops ]
pow!
[ something runs away ]
[ gasping from outside ]
>> Don't go out there!
[ Gasping ]
gasping ]
gasping ]
gasping ]
>> Don't pull it out!
You can cause
massive pharyngeal hemorrhage.
You could drown
in your own blood.
You're going to be okay,
we just need to get you
to an emergency room.
Apply direct pressure, gently.
Stay still.
I'll be right back.
I'm going to get you to the car.
>> Yes, come here now!
[ A rustle from
the forest ]
>> We need to bring him
to an emergency room.
>> W-we can drive.
Yeah, we can drive without
tires.
>> Hey -- stay still.
[ Inhuman shrieking
from the forest ]
eeeeeyyyyy
aa-aaaaaaaarrrrr!
Yaaaaarrrrr!
>> Wait!
Come here!
Come here!
Hey!
Please!
>> Look -- it's a poem.
Nor death nor further harm
is there to dread
if she should choose to join me
in his stead.
[ Inhuman shrieking ]
eeeeeyyyyyaa
aa-aaaaaarrrrraaaa!
>> What is that?
>> Come on,
we've got to go find him.
>> You're crazy.
>> What? He's your brother.
You don't want to help him?
>> Course I want to help him,
but I have to be alive
to help him!
I mean h-he's
a professional killing machine,
and he... No, we go and we come
back
with cops and guns, that is
the best way to help him.
>> What do you think?
>> This isn't for
the three of us to deal with.
>> See?
>> Okay, cops and guns.
>> Yeah. There are call boxes
up and down this road,
I-I've seen them everywhere.
>> Where was the last one?
>> I don't know, but we are
probably close to the next one.
I won't let you go out there.
She did so not just faint!
She okay?
>> Yeah. I think so.
Help me get her in the truck.
Come on.
All right, we need to get help.
[ Ignition sputtering ]
>> Come on.
Frickin...
[ sputtering continues ]
>> We should've gone after him
together, all three of us.
>> Sh-she just took off
by herself?
>> Mmm hmm.
>> That's crazy!
I won't let you go out there,
whatever I have to do!
We agreed we would go get help.
If you want to help them,
we need help.
Come on.
You're not going out there
without me.
Bet whatever's out there's
more dangerous than a ski,
but, uh, beats just
going out there to die.
Okay.
Come -- on.
[ Cries out ]
>> Ahh!
Shit.
[ Wind howling ]
distant rumbling ]
Where are you?
[ She screams ]
[ Rattling ]
[ engine revving ]
>> I-I-If I were running
toward a cliff blindfolded, and
the only way you could stop me
was to sucker-punch me...!
>> Go back to the car.
>> Oh please,
you won't be able to help --
>> I will!
>> You are so freaking cocky.
I mean, how do you even know --
>> Go back to the car,
I don't want you to get hurt.
>> N-N-N-No...
>> Go. Go!
>> Please!
>> I said go back!
>> Wait!
>> Please!
>> Shh! Shh!
[ Footsteps rustling ]
[ getting closer,
faster ]
a distant scream ]
[ a female crying
out in pain ]
[ trying to call out ]
>> Eh -- eh --!
[ Fabric tears ]
[ Footsteps
running away ]
inhuman shrieking ]
[ fading into
the distance ]
>> Are you okay?
[ Footsteps
running past ]
distant rumbling ]
>> Oh! You okay?
You okay?
[ The creature grunts in pain ]
>> No!
Stop. Stop!
>> I'm sorry.
Please, sit up.
The wound must stay
below your heart.
The -- the snakebite.
[ Footsteps
running away ]
footsteps rustle past ]
Oh! Oh, oh please, you --
You mustn't stand.
The -- the sting you suffered
had but little venom --
Still, you need to rest.
>> My hero.
>> I'm overwhelmed to find
that after all this time
you still allow that rose
to blossom 'round your waist.
>> Reminds me of you.
Times when we were happy.
Where you going?
>> I forgot how hideous I am
'til I again found you --
A sunbeam, birdsong, drop of dew
and I an animal.
>> You're not an animal.
>> I wish I were.
>> You've been living out here
in the forest for seven years?
>> Was it only seven years?
>> Must be lonely.
>> I'd reign forever in this
underworld without the slightest
need for human interaction
were it not for your existence,
my Persephone.
>> That's sweet.
>> Now you've come to me,
I'll give you anything
your heart desires if --
If you'll only stay.
>> Happily ever after?
This is no fairytale.
>> The characters in fairytales
don't ever know
that they're in fairytales.
>> What my heart desires
right now is to know
where my boyfriend is.
>> Your boyfriend.
If he loved with all the powers
of his puny being, he could
never love as much in eighty
years as I could in a day.
>> No, you've got him wrong,
he's a good guy.
This weekend he asked me
to marry him.
I said no.
I could never love
in eighty years like he could
in a day.
>> His connection with you is as
transitory as a serpent's bite.
A rose, though fragile,
rooted deeply never dies.
>> Where is he?
>> I'll take you to him
after you have rested.
>> Oh he's hurt,
he needs a doctor!
>> I'll see he gets
the help he needs --
Now that you've come to me,
I'm sorry to have harmed him.
>> You could've killed him.
>> I'm sorry.
Seeing him with you,
it made me...
There's always
some madness in love.
>> So -- so if I make you mad,
you're -- you'll hurt me?
>> I could never cause you harm.
[ Inhuman shriek ]
>> What is that?
>> The isle is full of noises --
Sounds and sweet airs
that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling
instruments will hum about mine
ears, and sometimes voices that,
if I then had waked from long
sleep, will make me sleep again.
And then, in dreaming,
the clouds methought would open
and show riches ready to drop
upon me, that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.
I've never used this table,
waiting for this night.
>> My mind is not on eating
right now.
>> I'd never force you
into anything.
My only longing is to be allowed
a chance to give you happiness.
>> Want you to be happy too.
But making me stay here...?
>> Do you think you're captured
in a web of mine,
or have you captured me?
>> That is
the cheesiest line ever.
>> Marry me.
>> What's for dinner?
[ Footsteps
walking away ]
a rustle in the trees ]
I wanted a better look
at the paintings.
They're beautiful.
>> They're nothing next to you,
my muse.
The food may not look pretty,
but its flavor
more than makes amends.
>> What is it?
>> Try it.
It's food the forest
best provides -- a salad.
>> It's good.
Pecans?
>> No.
>> Tastes like pecans.
Thank you for this.
>> How's our cupid?
>> He's starting to slow down.
The fur around his snout
is gray. Looks like muttonchops.
It's cute.
He still seems happy.
I don't wanna lose him.
>> Oh -- the cougar's
not a danger!
He -- he -- he's my friend.
You'll learn to love it here,
and love him too.
While I provide the
conversation, he is --
Better looking.
>> First let me see
my boyfriend.
I need to know he's not dead.
>> You said you didn't love him
anyway.
>> I said I didn't want
to marry him.
Please.
I keep falling for you.
>> I promise, after you have
rested, I'll take you to him.
And we'll take him to a
hospital.
>> Okay. Pretty hands.
>> Careful.
Come -- and see how pretty
forest life can be.
I've prepared a place for you.
I wanted every facet to be
perfect.
>> Why don't you
come back with me?
You make amazing things.
Instead of trying to get me
to stay here,
why don't you come back with me?
>> They'd put me in a cage.
>> Not if they knew you
the way I did.
Will you show me more?
Wanna see how you live.
>> After you have rested.
>> I haven't seen you
in seven years.
Wanna know who you are now.
What's up there?
Does that lead up there?
>> Wait.
>> It's my father's.
>> Yes. But taking it was
nothing.
Stealing you from me
was far the greater crime.
>> He was afraid
you might accidentally hurt me.
You said yourself
you were afraid of that too.
>> I know.
>> This is where
you get your water?
>> I'm sorry --
For the pain I've caused you.
You had pain enough
without me bringing more.
I understand
what you've been going through.
I can empathize.
You love her like I do?
Though rivals, you're as
powerless as I to stop yourself.
As powerless as is the moon to
stop revolving 'round the earth.
I won't pretend I'll let her go
without first trying everything
I can to earn her love,
but, so you know, she's
safely sleeping and will --
>> Please, let's go,
both of us, please.
>> We will.
All of us.
>> Let's go to a call box.
>> Where? That eerie shriek
was just a mountain lion.
>> Just!
>> Mountain lions
generally avoid humans.
>> No, that mountain lion
was stalking us!
>> The overwhelming majority
of accidents in the wilderness
come from tripping and falling.
Mountain lions
do not stalk people.
>> Everything you know
came out of a book.
I-I don't think the mountain
lion has your library card!
What about
that thing in the pictures?
>> That thing knows her --
Or knew her at some point,
and it probably --
>> How could that thing
know her?
>> It's not a thing!
It's a person.
I mean it's a malformed person,
but... You know the Elephant
Man?
>> Why,
did he say something about me?
>> Look, whatever's out there
is not a monster.
He's not a monster, he's a
person.
Who knows, maybe he can...
I know what to do.
Go back to the car!
>> You're crazy!
H-Her clothes were shredded,
th-they were covered with blood!
I-If that's a person,
what made...
I mean, what kind...
What is that thing?!
>> You were my first friend.
I used to have nightmares
about monsters.
And you scared the monsters
away.
Now you're scaring me.
>> At this moment, couples under
orange groves or by the banks of
rivers lie together holding
hands and counting stars.
But me -- I'm frightening
the only one I'll ever love.
>> You --
You used to sing to me.
Remember?
>> It went zip when it moved
And bop when it stopped
Whirr when it stood still
>> I never knew
Just what it was --
I guess I never will
>> Your father sang that song
to me, so I sang it to you.
>> I'm your Persephone.
Persephone stayed with Hades
only part of every year.
I need to return to my world.
I promise I will return to you.
>> You're conning me.
And I don't blame you.
Let's get you to cover.
>> We need to get him to cover.
We need to get him
to a hospital, we...
He'll catch hypothermia.
He'll die.
>> It would be dangerous
to try to move him in his --
Injured state.
>> You said you would
get him to a hospital.
How were you gonna do that?
>> I'll make a cart to carry him
-- a trailer -- and attach it
to the Harley.
First I'll make a shelter
that will keep him warm and dry.
>> Why not build the trailer
now? Instead of first building
a shelter and then a trailer?
>> The trailer will take longer.
Trust me?
>> Do what you have to do.
[ Rocks crumbling
and sliding ]
here are you?
An't find you.
>> Stay where you are --
I'll find you!
>> Please help me.
>> Are you up there?
Don't move,
and I'll come for you.
And I'll let you go, for --
For part of every year,
just like Persephone and Hades.
Please just promise
that you'll return?
Careful! All I -- I want
for you to know is that I --
[ footsteps closing in ]
Tell me what she sees in you
that's not in me.
Oh, yes -- you're not
disgustingly deformed.
[ Male screaming ]
>> Oh no! No!
Stop it! No!
No! Stop it!
>> Will you still love him...
>> Stop it!
>> ...when he's hideous as I?
Will you still love him
more than me...
>> Stop it!
>> ...when he's as hideous?
[ Male screaming
continues ]
>> Stop! Please stop!
Stop!
Please --
Please don't hurt him anymore.
I'll stay with you.
Just don't hurt him anymore.
I'll stay with you.
>> What happened?
Look at me.
Baby -- one of your eyes, uh,
th-the pupil's big,
but -- the other one's, uh...
>> H-Hemorrhage.
Fr-Fr-From when...
>> I didn't hit you that hard.
I-I-I-I
didn't hit you that hard.
>> Shh. Just let me look at you.
>> You're fine.
Okay? You're gonna be fine.
>> I'm sorry.
>> No!
>> I sh-shouldn't
have dragged you into this.
>> Fine, you're gonna be fine.
>> I should've...
>> We're gonna get out of here,
okay?
>> Okay. I'm so -- I'm so sorry.
>> No. No.
Come on, stay with me.
Can you hear me?
>> I'll stay with you.
>> Can you -- can you hear me?
>> I'll stay with you.
>> You're gonna be fine.
Stay awake!
Come on, stay awake!
Come on, wake up.
Come on! Come on!
Come on. Wake...
S-Somebody -- somebody help!
Come on...
>> I was there first.
I loved you first.
Where was he, when --
When I would sing to you?
When I would make
the nightmares go away?
You once told me you loved me.
>> We were little kids.
I loved you
like a stuffed animal.
>> You gave your love to me, and
now -- you've tried to kill me.
>> The only reason you think
you love me -- I'm the only girl
that's ever talked to you.
If it were somebody else,
that somebody else would be
the only girl you'll ever love!
>> We were meant to be together.
I've been -- I've been waiting,
knowing you would come.
You think your coming here
was a coincidence?
Our love has led you back to me.
The world you left behind could
never make you truly happy.
Look behind this!
Look inside.
You think I choose to horrify?
I didn't ask to be a monster!
>> I didn't ask to be here.
Don't talk to me
about asking for things!
I begged you to stop
while you tortured him.
He didn't do anything.
How could you...?
>> I picked up the weapon
with which I was wounded.
>> That's what makes you
a monster.
Please let us go.
Nothing you've done
is undoable yet.
>> But...
>> Please.
>> But no matter what I do,
you'll -- you'll never love me.
Lovers all through history
have come in many categories --
Some seductive,
oth -- others forceful --
Some poetic, others blunt.
I've loved you every way I know!
I should have --
Would have killed myself
so long ago but for the hope
of seeing you again.
Oh, you'll call me mad,
but will you dance with me?
I will not touch you,
we'll just dance together,
near each other --
>> Get away!
>> As you said,
there's nothing that I've done,
however horrible,
that can't be yet undone.
It's -- it's not too late for us
to have a happy ending,
even if it's not the ending
of which I've dreamt.
Apply this to his wounds
to help them heal.
>> You're letting me
go to him by myself?
>> I trust you.
Without you I would not exist.
>> Come on.
Come on.
>> No...!
>> Let me go!
Leave me alone!
Please! Please!
>> [ Sobbing ]
It's a dead end.
Follow that way
for a quarter mile.
There's a call box.
I'll tell her to follow you.
[ She screams ]
Wake up.
[ Screaming in anguish ]
I'll take you home --
Take you home.
Just rest.
Just rest.
You're so beautiful.
[ Morning birds
warbling ]
When I was just a wee little
lad full of health and joy
My father homeward came one
Night -- he gave me a toy
A wonder to behold it was
With many colors bright
The moment I laid eyes on it
It became my heart's delight
It went zip when it moved --
Bop when it stopped --
Whirr when it stood still
I -- I, uh -- I'll...

Please.
I keep falling for you.
>> I promise, after you have
rested, I'll take you to him.
And we'll take him to a
hospital.
>> Okay. Pretty hands.
>> Careful.
Come -- and see how pretty
forest life can be.
I've prepared a place for you.
I wanted every facet to be
perfect.
>> Why don't you
come back with me?
You make amazing things.
Instead of trying to get me
to stay here,
why don't you come back with me?
>> They'd put me in a cage.
>> Not if they knew you
the way I did.
Will you show me more?
Wanna see how you live.
>> After you have rested.
>> I haven't seen you
in seven years.
Wanna know who you are now.
What's up there?
Does that lead up there?
>> Wait.
>> It's my father's.
>> Yes. But taking it was
nothing.
Stealing you from me
was far the greater crime.
>> He was afraid
you might accidentally hurt me.
You said yourself
you were afraid of that too.
>> I know.
>> This is where
you get your water?
>> I'm sorry --
For the pain I've caused you.
You had pain enough
without me bringing more.
I understand
what you've been going through.
I can empathize.
You love her like I do?
Though rivals, you're as
powerless as I to stop yourself.
As powerless as is the moon to
stop revolving 'round the earth.
I won't pretend I'll let her go
without first trying everything
I can to earn her love,
but, so you know, she's
safely sleeping and will --
>> Please, let's go,
both of us, please.
>> We will.
All of us.
>> Let's go to a call box.
>> Where? That eerie shriek
was just a mountain lion.
>> Just!
>> Mountain lions
generally avoid humans.
>> No, that mountain lion
was stalking us!
>> The overwhelming majority
of accidents in the wilderness
come from tripping and falling.
Mountain lions
do not stalk people.
>> Everything you know
came out of a book.
I-I don't think the mountain
lion has your library card!
What about
that thing in the pictures?
>> That thing knows her --
Or knew her at some point,
and it probably --
>> How could that thing
know her?
>> It's not a thing!
It's a person.
I mean it's a malformed person,
but... You know the Elephant
Man?
>> Why,
did he say something about me?
>> Look, whatever's out there
is not a monster.
He's not a monster, he's a
person.
Who knows, maybe he can...
I know what to do.
Go back to the car!
>> You're crazy!
H-Her clothes were shredded,
th-they were covered with blood!
I-If that's a person,
what made...
I mean, what kind...
What is that thing?!
>> You were my first friend.
I used to have nightmares
about monsters.
And you scared the monsters
away.
Now you're scaring me.
>> At this moment, couples under
orange groves or by the banks of
rivers lie together holding
hands and counting stars.
But me -- I'm frightening
the only one I'll ever love.
>> You --
You used to sing to me.
Remember?
>> It went zip when it moved
And bop when it stopped
Whirr when it stood still
>> I never knew
Just what it was --
I guess I never will
>> Your father sang that song
to me, so I sang it to you.
>> I'm your Persephone.
Persephone stayed with Hades
only part of every year.
I need to return to my world.
I promise I will return to you.
>> You're conning me.
And I don't blame you.
Let's get you to cover.
>> We need to get him to cover.
We need to get him
to a hospital, we...
He'll catch hypothermia.
He'll die.
>> It would be dangerous
to try to move him in his --
Injured state.
>> You said you would
get him to a hospital.
How were you gonna do that?
>> I'll make a cart to carry him
-- a trailer -- and attach it
to the Harley.
First I'll make a shelter
that will keep him warm and dry.
>> Why not build the trailer
now? Instead of first building
a shelter and then a trailer?
>> The trailer will take longer.
Trust me?
>> Do what you have to do.
[ Rocks crumbling
and sliding ]
here are you?
An't find you.
>> Stay where you are --
I'll find you!
>> Please help me.
>> Are you up there?
Don't move,
and I'll come for you.
And I'll let you go, for --
For part of every year,
just like Persephone and Hades.
Please just promise
that you'll return?
Careful! All I -- I want
for you to know is that I --
[ footsteps closing in ]
Tell me what she sees in you
that's not in me.
Oh, yes -- you're not
disgustingly deformed.
[ Male screaming ]
>> Oh no! No!
Stop it! No!
No! Stop it!
>> Will you still love him...
>> Stop it!
>> ...when he's hideous as I?
Will you still love him
more than me...
>> Stop it!
>> ...when he's as hideous?
[ Male screaming
continues ]
>> Stop! Please stop!
Stop!
Please --
Please don't hurt him anymore.
I'll stay with you.
Just don't hurt him anymore.
I'll stay with you.
>> What happened?
Look at me.
Baby -- one of your eyes, uh,
th-the pupil's big,
but -- the other one's, uh...
>> H-Hemorrhage.
Fr-Fr-From when...
>> I didn't hit you that hard.
I-I-I-I
didn't hit you that hard.
>> Shh. Just let me look at you.
>> You're fine.
Okay? You're gonna be fine.
>> I'm sorry.
>> No!
>> I sh-shouldn't
have dragged you into this.
>> Fine, you're gonna be fine.
>> I should've...
>> We're gonna get out of here,
okay?
>> Okay. I'm so -- I'm so sorry.
>> No. No.
Come on, stay with me.
Can you hear me?
>> I'll stay with you.
>> Can you -- can you hear me?
>> I'll stay with you.
>> You're gonna be fine.
Stay awake!
Come on, stay awake!
Come on, wake up.
Come on! Come on!
Come on. Wake...
S-Somebody -- somebody help!
Come on...
>> I was there first.
I loved you first.
Where was he, when --
When I would sing to you?
When I would make
the nightmares go away?
You once told me you loved me.
>> We were little kids.
I loved you
like a stuffed animal.
>> You gave your love to me, and
now -- you've tried to kill me.
>> The only reason you think
you love me -- I'm the only girl
that's ever talked to you.
If it were somebody else,
that somebody else would be
the only girl you'll ever love!
>> We were meant to be together.
I've been -- I've been waiting,
knowing you would come.
You think your coming here
was a coincidence?
Our love has led you back to me.
The world you left behind could
never make you truly happy.
Look behind this!
Look inside.
You think I choose to horrify?
I didn't ask to be a monster!
>> I didn't ask to be here.
Don't talk to me
about asking for things!
I begged you to stop
while you tortured him.
He didn't do anything.
How could you...?
>> I picked up the weapon
with which I was wounded.
>> That's what makes you
a monster.
Please let us go.
Nothing you've done
is undoable yet.
>> But...
>> Please.
>> But no matter what I do,
you'll -- you'll never love me.
Lovers all through history
have come in many categories --
Some seductive,
oth -- others forceful --
Some poetic, others blunt.
I've loved you every way I know!
I should have --
Would have killed myself
so long ago but for the hope
of seeing you again.
Oh, you'll call me mad,
but will you dance with me?
I will not touch you,
we'll just dance together,
near each other --
>> Get away!
>> As you said,
there's nothing that I've done,
however horrible,
that can't be yet undone.
It's -- it's not too late for us
to have a happy ending,
even if it's not the ending
of which I've dreamt.
Apply this to his wounds
to help them heal.
>> You're letting me
go to him by myself?
>> I trust you.
Without you I would not exist.
>> Come on.
Come on.
>> No...!
>> Let me go!
Leave me alone!
Please! Please!
>> [ Sobbing ]
It's a dead end.
Follow that way
for a quarter mile.
There's a call box.
I'll tell her to follow you.
[ She screams ]
Wake up.
[ Screaming in anguish ]
I'll take you home --
Take you home.
Just rest.
Just rest.
You're so beautiful.
[ Morning birds
warbling ]
When I was just a wee little
lad full of health and joy
My father homeward came one
Night -- he gave me a toy
A wonder to behold it was
With many colors bright
The moment I laid eyes on it
It became my heart's delight
It went zip when it moved --
Bop when it stopped --
Whirr when it stood still
I -- I, uh -- I'll...
