(phone vibrating)

(Aaron sniffling and coughing)

(Aaron coughing violently)

(ominous music)

(oxygen hissing)

(Aaron inhaling deeply)

(dramatic music)

(Aaron sniffling and coughing)

(truck brakes squealing)

(birds chirping)

- [Aaron] Is that Bouncer?

- [Roy] Yeah.

Couldn't hardly believe she still runs,

to tell you the truth.

- [Aaron] And how'd that come to happen?

- [Roy] Well, she turned over fine, actually.

Good thing too I guess,

'cause I don't know what else

was gonna make it up Jungle Road.

Did your, uh, pussy-ass thing make it up?

- [Aaron] Eh, parked at the boat landing.

- [Roy] Hmm.

(Aaron clears throat)

- [Aaron] I'm not asking you how you drove Bouncer here,

I'm asking how you drove Bouncer here.

- [Roy] Because nobody else the fuck was.

- Roy, Bouncer was dad's truck, not yours.

- Aaron, dad's dead.

Bouncer wasn't anybody's truck.

- Does mom know you stole it?

- Sto, oh...

(chuckles)

You know what?

Fuck yourself, "Stole".

It's nice to see you, Air Bear.

(Aaron grunts)

- [Roy] Goddamn thing is still standing.

Smells like mouse shit, though.

- [Aaron] Is somebody gonna have to call mom then,

so going out to the garage doesn't freak her out?

- [Roy] Aaron, when's the last time you remember mom

going out to the garage?

She's not going out there, all right?

She's not getting freaked out.

Look, I just needed something to drive, all right?

'Cause that--

- Yeah, okay, fine, fine! - 18-wheeler

sure wasn't gonna fit either of the goddamn,

and anyway, who went with dad to go buy Bouncer

in the first place?

Was it you?

Was it where's-the-fuck Benjamin?

- [Aaron] I said fine.

(Roy scoffs)

- [Roy] What's this?

What's Phone Hell?

- [Aaron] You drop your phone in there,

it doesn't come out 'til you go home.

Over the weekend.

- [Roy] Hmm, well, cute.

- [Aaron] Yeah.

You gonna drop your phone in there--

- [Roy] Get bent.

- [Aaron] All right.

(Aaron coughing)

- Christ.

Never seen so much chopped wood

in such a shitty fuckin' fire.

(Aaron clears throat)

You know, we uh, got a couple chairs.

- I'm good.

(Roy sniffs)

- [Roy] How's uh, what's her name, uh, Katie?

How's Katie?

- [Aaron] Katie's fine, we're fine, we're good.

(Roy laughing)

- [Roy] Oh, been there, man.

How long's it been?

- [Aaron] 10 years.

- [Roy] 10 years?

(chuckles)

Oh my God, you gotta marry that, brother.

10 years means you gotta marry that.

- Yeah. (Roy chuckles)

- [Roy] Oh man, Emma woulda crucified me

if I waited that long.

She would have strung me up by my balls.

(Roy laughing)

- [Aaron] Well, it's not exactly, you know.

Kids okay, still alive?

- [Roy] Oh yeah, man.

They're, both of 'em.

Six and uh, three.

(Aaron coughing)

You uh, you heard anything?

- [Aaron] Not a thing.

Might be just us.

- [Roy] Not surprised.

- [Aaron] When was the last time you even saw him?

Was it that Christmas?

- [Roy] It was our wedding, all right?

Fuck! - Mmhmm.

- [Roy] Of course, we both know when it should have been.

- [Aaron] Yeah, I'm actually hoping to just

avoid that topic entirely.

- [Roy] No, no, no, no.

No, no, you get fucked,

that's the first thing we're talkin' about--

- [Aaron] Okay, frankly, I don't think you're in

any position to judge him--

- [Roy] Speaking for him, you're defending him now?

And you're blaming me? - I, I am doing neither.

I am hoping to avoid the topic entirely.

- No, you listen to me.

You can lay that blame on Benjamin all day long.

As least I was there, all right?

At least I showed up.

That is the difference.

- [Aaron] Yeah, I don't know,

sorry anybody could forget your contribution.

- You got something to say, Air Bear?

- I was hoping to avoid the topic entirely,

if you remember.

- Yeah, well, I was upset.

(Aaron chuckles)

- You, you were hammered.

You were so upset, Roy, that--

- What, that I drank?

I remember Aaron, I was there.

- Yeah, it's a goddamn funeral.

The same funeral Benjamin didn't show up at.

You make a complete ass

of yourself in front of-- - Yeah, well I remember Aaron,

I was there! - The whole fuckin' family!

Well let me ask you something then.

What'd your girls think, huh?

Seeing you like that?

What did Em have to say to the girls

when they see their dad,

their fucking dad-- - You fuckin' faggot!

You think that's a smart thing to say about me, don't you?

Well then say it.

You don't say fuckin' squat to me about my girls.

You have no goddamn idea what you're talkin' about,

huh, all right?

Run.

Run your mouth.

I'll break your fuckin' neck

before you convince me you're the better son.

- Hey, who said anything about--

(phone ringing)

- [Roy] Hello, Em?

- What, that's it?

- Oh yeah, get fucked!

I can't hear ya, there's um,

there's signal static, hold on.

(Aaron coughing)

Oh uh, tomorrow probably.

I know.

I know, I know.

Yeah um, hey is, um,

is anybody else there?

Uh, either, both.

Both preferably.

(birds chirping)

(Roy chuckling)

So uh...

What?

Does somebody need a punch in the head?

I said does somebody need a punch in the head?

It's me, princess, it's daddy, daddy's here.

Here, here on the phone, I mean.

(Roy chuckling)

(peaceful acoustic guitar music)

- His name's Tyler.

We met online.

He's a personal trainer.

He's a personal trainer, actually.

We met online.

Tyler is his name.

Um, he's a personal trainer.

His name...

Oh.

(birds chirping)

Fuck.

(watch ticking)

- [Aaron] You missed dad's funeral.

- [Benjamin] I'm here now though.

- [Aaron] Okay.

- [Benjamin] I drove 15 hours to be here though.

Roy, roy!

(keys jingling)

Damn it Roy, get your--

- This is good behavior, okay?

I need to make sure you don't fag out on us

and run all the way back to Canada or whatever.

So, good behavior.

- Roy!

Come on, give him his keys back.

- What's that, Air Bear?

Oh I'm sorry, you want your keys back?

(Roy chuckles)

I, of course I mean, here you go.

(keys jingling)

- [Benjamin] You fuckin' prick.

- [Roy] Yeah, yeah.

Unpack your shit.

We're talkin'.

- [Benjamin] You're kidding with this, right?

- [Aaron] It's just for the weekend.

- [Benjamin] There's only one phone in there.

- [Aaron] Yeah, it's a work in progress.

- Sit down, Benj.

- No.

- Where you going?

- [Benjamin] Why am I here?

- [Aaron] Because I asked you to be.

- [Roy] Are you gonna sit down?

- Not until I know why I drove 15 hours to be here.

- Thank you, Benjamin, for driving 15 hours to be here.

You're here because I asked you to be.

- All right.

You said, but why did you--

- You're here so I can yell at you.

- That is not why you are here.

- Sit.

- No.

(Roy sighs)

- I don't know what your bio dad did to ya.

(Benjamin scoffs)

Nobody does, matter of fact.

You never said and we never asked.

Mine beat me.

Beat my bio mom too so, you know, what are gonna do--

- Okay, look, can we just talk about something else?

- I know. - Whatever.

Whatever your bio dad may have or may not have done,

your foster dad, his bio dad--

- Our dad.

- He never did any of that.

Okay?

Like I, I don't know for sure,

but I know for sure, you understand?

So there's nothing that he ever did

that would justify you skipping out on his funeral.

- You don't have to answer to any of this.

- The reason you asked us here, Aaron,

is for some kind of confession?

I'm afraid I just literally don't have one.

- That's not why I asked you here.

- I missed Jim's funeral--

- Jesus Christ, you hear this shit?

"Jim's funeral"?

Jim's fuckin' funeral, Benj?

Is that how far we've come now?

- Let me finish, Roy?

- Yeah, finish, I'm all ears.

- I missed Jim's funeral,

I admit that readily.

- Okay, except you didn't miss dad's funeral.

Your goddamn flight wasn't delayed.

You did not show.

- You're right.

I did not.

It was hard enough for me not to take every exit

between here and Toronto.

There's no way I was gonna stomach his funeral.

I'm here now though--

- "Stomach"?

What the fuck does stomach mean?

He was our father.

- No, Roy.

He was Aaron's father.

- Say that again.

- He was the father of everybody here, biological or not,

full stop, end of statement.

The reason I gave you Benj, is the reason.

There's no secret agenda.

There's no booby trap.

You're here because you're my brothers.

And, no, no, you shut up, you shut your goddamn mouth.

You are my brothers.

And we owe this, if apparently nothing else, to dad.

And you know what?

Call him Jim, drive Bouncer, I don't care.

The purpose of this weekend is to go forward, not back.

Keys, in there, now.

- What?

- If Benjamin can't leave, neither can we.

(gentle acoustic guitar music)

Here.

Hmm?

Come on, let's see 'em.

(keys jingling)

(Benjamin chuckling)

Agreed?

- I don't know guys,

I don't even know if I remember it anymore.

- [Aaron] Course you do, you just gotta get started.

(Roy sighing)

- I don't know, I don't know.

Come on, come on.

- No, you know it.

- Just tell it.

- You're gonna, no, we can't tell it, not like you can,

you get started, and you remember it.

♪ Tell the story

♪ Tell the story

♪ Tell the story

♪ Tell the story

- All right, all right, I'll do it!

Quiet down, you fags, and I'll, I'll tell ya the story.

I never knew the creature's proper name.

According to grandpa,

it's never been known by anything but...

The Grumpaboo.

Tall as a man,

but built like a bear.

Antlers, bigger than any bucks.

Pair of claws that could tear a tent wall--

(Roy hissing)

Like paper.

(Roy chuckling)

And a snout.

(Roy snorting)

That could sniff out a marshmallow from a thousand paces.

Where is it?

Where is it?

The Grumpaboo will find it.

- Come on, Roy!

- Oh yeah.

And a pair of razor-sharp tusks to match.

You fellas want to know what scares

me the most?

(ominous music)

(dramatic violin music)

That big...

Broad...

Leathery tail.

Yeah...

That could squish a kid!

And his bike flat as a pancake with one swipe.

- Don't, yeah, no.

- They say everything past the Scary Tree is

Grumpaboo territory.

Always has been.

Always will be.

Only three people have crossed over that border

and laid eyes upon the beast's lair.

There's grandpa, dad...

And me.

- Wait.

You saw the Grumpaboo?

(Roy chuckles)

- Wouldn't be standing here if I did, kid.

- Well what about dad then?

And grandpa?

- Them neither.

Great-Uncle Tony did once.

(Aaron scoffs)

- [Aaron] Did we even have a Great-Uncle Tony?

- Not anymore.

(Benjamin and Aaron chuckling)

I must have been five, no, no, no...

Six years old that first summer I found

the creature's lodge.

I was so proud, I was so proud.

I go running back to dad, telling him all about this

beaver lodge that I thought I found.

(chuckles)

And you know what he said to me?

- What'd he say?

- He said,

"Go fill your squirt gun with root beer, son.

"And follow me."

- Root beer?

What for?

- 'Cause the only thing a Grumpaboo's afraid of

is root beer, I don't know why.

I did not ask.

But one thing I do know

is that Grumpaboo gets one whiff and a

snifflin' whiff of that stuff,

he goes runnin' for the hills.

- [Benjamin] Weird.

- [Roy] Weird.

- [Aaron] Weird.

- Are you kidding me?

That's extremely weird.

Soon as I filled up my squirt gun,

dad tells me to spray every tree

within 100 feet of the cabin (sniffs)

to make sure the Grumpaboo didn't come looking for me.

That was that.

Haven't said hide nor hair of the beast to this day.

I sure have heard it though.

(woman singing hauntingly)

Some autumn nights, you can hear clear across the lake.

You can hear that creature callin'.

Once,

twice,

three times it calls,

as though...

It's expecting some kind of answer.

(Roy howling)

But of course...

One never comes.

- [Aaron] Oh, yeah.

(Aaron and Benjamin applauding)

Yes.

You did it. - Whoo.

- [Aaron] You did it.

- [Benjamin] Whoo.

(birds chirping)

(Roy sighs)

- Goddamn it.

Where's the fuckin' axe?

(dramatic music)

(Roy sighs)

Hey there's no chance you know where the uh,

what's that?

- A map.

- [Roy] What?

- Of Oxenfree.

(dramatic music)

Yeah.

The dock boat's gone.

- I bet he left the other one though didn't he?

- Yep.

What do you think?

- I don't know.

What I can't figure out is where he found this.

I mean, I haven't thought about any of this shit in what,

20 years?

- Something like that, yeah.

- You don't think he redrew it, do ya?

- I'm pretty sure that's the original.

I recognize my handwriting.

- Yeah?

The red line is definitely new though.

I mean, he wants us to follow him,

he's made that pretty clear.

- He has.

- And?

(gentle music)

What the hell?

- [Benjamin] You uh, you goin' out after him?

- Yeah.

Bunch of my shit's gone missing.

Sleeping bag, pup tent.

All the goddamn beer too.

You pussin' out?

- I think he's got my sleeping bag too actually.

- Hey, do you see that?

(Benjamin chuckles)

- [Benjamin] Is that--

- Morse Code, that's what I thought.

- Short.

Long.

Short, short.

- You don't know Morse though, right?

- No.

Not since Cub Scouts.

(water splashing)

Long, short, short.

Short, short.

Short, long, long.

- The other boat, there.

(dramatic sweeping music)

(birds chirping)

- These are all brand new.

When did he say he got here?

- Thursday, he said.

Morning.

- Well, the map says that the Fort is...

Wanna get this over with?

(dramatic music)

- So I'm thinking he might have been

a little before Thursday.

- Yeah.

- Jesus Christ, Air Bear.

(gentle sweeping music)

(intense music)

(gentle sweeping music)

(intense music)

(gentle sweeping music)

(intense music)

- Halt!

Who trespasses onto Dinomen territory?

- Where's my sleeping bag?

- Sleeping bag?

We Dinomen know no sleeping bag.

- Well, how about my cooler then, or dad's fuckin' pup tent?

Could we just

cut through the horseshit-- - Wait a second,

- Here and you can-- - Wait a second,

wait a second!

- "Dinomen territory"?

Since when is Fort Buttkicker in Dinomen territory?

- Have you not received our demands?

- [Benjamin] No.

You just took my sleeping bag.

- Oh.

Is um, because I've been, I've definitely been

broadcasting our demands all morning.

We Dinomen assumed you would hear about the demands.

- Look, Aaron, ha ha, you've rebuilt the Fort.

I told Emma I was headed home as soon as I found my cooler,

so I will come over there, if you just don't give me my,

what do you got, what--

(water splashing)

(Benjamin chuckling)

- Demand the first!

The King of Oxenfree shall forever relinquish his crown,

his throne, and his title,

for forever times infinity plus one!

Demand the second!

That he eat a dog's turd.

What say you?

- To hell with your demands.

Tell your Dinomen...

The King has returned to Oxenfree.

That he will take Fort Buttkicker back by force.

And what's more, Chief Triceratops...

Is a fart-head.

And he wants to marry a skunk's butt.

His butt.

- Oh.

By force.

What force, thou dweeb King?

You have no Fort.

You have no army!

- He may not have a Fort...

But he shall have an army!

He shall have the Outlaw Army,

with Captain Danger at its head!

All the bandits of Oxenfree would die before they see

a Dinomen King!

- Then die, poop-brains!

(Chief Triceratops yells)

(dramatic sweeping music)

Ya!

Ya!

Run!

Run, you bed-wetters!

Run and hide!

None shall dethrone King Triceratops!

(crowing)

(coughing)

(laughing triumphantly)

(coughing)

(inhaler wheezing)

(coughing)

(both breathing heavy)

- Oh!

I am fucking soaked!

- That little shit-licker.

I saw the cooler and stuff, he's got it tucked behind the,

the throne.

(Benjamin chuckles)

Ah, I landed on my ass though, God!

What?

- You remember Hideout Rock?

- I don't know, maybe.

Hey, that was your, that was your headquarters, right?

Your uh, secret headquarters of the Outlaw Army?

Jeez.

That way?

- [Benjamin] He marked it with an X.

Race ya.

(Roy groaning)

- Wait! (Benjamin whooping)

(bell clanging)

(birds chirping)

(Oxenking whistling)

(ominous music)

(Captain Danger yelling)

(water spraying)

- [Captain Danger] Ooh!

You will die, Dinomen!

(Chief Triceratops yelling)

(Oxenking laughing)

- Ah, Oxenfree!

Oxenfree!

Oxenfree!

Oxenfree!

Oxenfree!

Surrender, Triceratops!

- Never!

Oxenfree is mine!

(both yelling)

(swords clanging)

- No!

Ah, no!

(Oxenking and Chief Triceratops yelling)

- I got you!

I got you! - Ah, no!

- I got you!

(swords clanging)

- [Oxenking] Drop the weapon!

Come on, savage!

- [Chief Triceratops] Surrender your land to me!

- [Oxenking] No, no, no!

(growling)

- Ooh...

(water splashing)

(dramatic instrumental music)

- [Oxenking] Victory!

(Captain Danger cheering)

- [Captain Danger] I got him!

Huzzah!

(water spraying)

(sighs)

- Hear ye.

Hear ye.

The King speaks.

The Dinomen, flee!

Chief Triceratops has been killed.

100% dead.

(Chief Triceratops gurgling)

- 100%.

- I have the Royal Scepter.

I have the Awesome Crown.

I shall hereby claim...

My birthright.

(triumphant sweeping music)

The King...

Has returned.

Olly olly Oxenfree!

Olly olly Oxenfree!

Olly oll--

(phone ringing)

(sighs)

- [Aaron] Roy--

- [Roy] Just give me a second.

- [Aaron] This is what Phone Hell is for--

- [Roy] Yes, give me a sec, I said.

Hello, Em?

Oh hey, there's no signal here, just give me--

- [Aaron] Come on man, you said a sec!

You said...

- Yeah, sorry about that, can you hear me now?

Hey, I don't know.

So I gotta get them back.

Uh, couple hours, tops.

Then an hour home, yeah I know, I know.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, see you home soon.

Okay, okay, see you home soon.

(clears throat)

(sighs)

Oh...

(sniffs)

What's this?

- Jail.

(Roy clears throat)

I thought you needed a sec.

- Yeah, the sec's over.

Where's Benj?

- Said he had to take a piss.

Not sure I believed him.

- So, he ran off, then.

- Well, can you blame him?

- You know, somehow, I still can.

(dramatic music)

- Imaginary Pirates!

- Well why can't Benjamin have his keys back?

- 'Cause he's gonna run away again,

and not just for a sec,

for six years ag--

- Imaginary Pirates!

Imaginary Pirates!

(bell ringing)

- Imaginary Pirates?

Speak sense, man!

- There are pirates, your majesty!

Imaginary ones.

Crossing Hurricane Lake with a full armada!

- Curse those scurvy dogs!

- But this can't be...

The Imaginary Pirates were 100% destroyed

on my 10th birthday.

Everybody knows this.

How many ships in the armada?

- A thousand...

Hundred, your majesty.

- A thousand hundred?

My God.

If you speak the truth,

then Fort Buttkicker is doomed.

These walls could not dream of defeating such numbers.

- We must try, your majesty.

Or die trying.

- Please, your majesty.

(Oxenking spits)

Will you not hear the pleas of 100 Dinomen?

(Oxenking and Captain Danger spitting)

- Speak, then, Triceratops.

And watch your tongue.

- I know these pirates.

Long have they pillaged and plundered our home,

Camp Velociraptor.

Free me from my imprisonment,

and I'll gladly give my life to defend Fort Buttkicker

against our mutual enemy.

(all spitting)

- Very well then.

It shall be so.

Rise, Chief Triceratops, and arm yourself.

- Hark!

(drums pounding)

Do you not hear them, your majesty?

They approach, even now!

- Listen to their shanties!

- Man the walls!

Battlestations!

Hear me well, you butt-munchers!

Every step you take is a trespass

into the sovereign realm of Oxenfree.

If you dare attack this Fort,

you shall pay with your--

(laser firing) (Oxenking groans)

(dramatic music)

What?

How can this be?

(woman singing mournfully)

I am slain...

- Your majesty...

Your majesty, no!

- I see where their Commander comes!

It was he, the dreaded Robo-Pirate who fired that

accursed laser beam!

- Chief, Captain, come to me,

come to me, my boys...

I go now to the Death Place...

You must listen to me!

Shut up!

Everyone be quiet!

You must...

You must avenge me.

(coughing weakly)

Avenge your totally rad...

King.

Dead.

- He shall not have died in vain.

Long live the King!

- Long live the King! - Attack!

(Chief Triceratops yells)

(arrows whistling)

(water spraying)

Giant explosion arrows now!

(arrow whistling)

Boom!

(water spraying)

- [Captain Danger] Captain Tsunami!

- [Chief Triceratops] There, on the ridge.

They've brought artillery.

- [Captain Danger] Plus, ninjas.

- We can't stay here, we'll be sitting ducks!

- [Captain Danger] Then we must charge!

(Chief Triceratops yells)

(swords clanging) (men groaning)

(blood spurting)

(horse whinnying)

(Captain Danger yelling)

(Aaron coughing)

(dramatic music)

(swords clanging) (men yelling)

(Chief Triceratops and Captain Danger yelling)

(swords clanging) (men yelling)

- Look!

They're retreating to their ships!

The Imaginary Pirates have been vanquished!

- [Captain Danger] Oxenfree!

- [Chief Triceratops] Oxenfree!

- [Captain Danger] Oxenfree!

- [Chief Triceratops] Oxenfree!

- [Captain Danger] Oxenfree!

(triumphant music)

(birds chirping)

- What is this wizardry now?

- Methinks some pirate trick.

- Eh.

We must fan out then, good Captain,

and locate your missing King.

(pot clanging)

Your majesty!

- [Captain Danger] Your majesty!

- [Chief Triceratops] Your majesty!

- [Benjamin] Roy?

(Aaron coughing)

- Your majesty! - Hey, hey Roy?

(Aaron coughing)

- [Benjamin] You think he uh--

- [Aaron] I dunno.

I guess go check by the boats, maybe?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Roy?

(Aaron coughing)

- Your majesty!

Your majesty!

(coughing)

Your maj--

(coughing violently)

- [Benjamin] The Grumpaboo comes--

(Benjamin yelling)

(Grumpaboo howling)

(dramatic music)

- Okay guys, hilarious.

Grumpaboo attack.

But you shouldn't make jokes though

in case someone was actually...

Hey, hey, hey...

(Grumpaboo growls)

(axe slashes)

(Aaron coughing)

What?

What?

What the hell are you wearing?

- It's a Grumpaboo costume.

Calm down.

- Is that what all that shit's for?

(coughing)

You don't have the bottom of the costume down.

So is Benjamin okay then, or is he--

- Oh, I'm fine.

I was gonna say that this was payback

for those water balloons but,

you sure you're all right?

- (coughing) Yeah, yeah, just...

You got me, man.

- Yeah, I did.

(Benjamin chuckles)

Hey, is the Fort safe to return--

- Oh, the Imaginary Pirates have long been vanquished.

- [Roy] Couldn't they have used a Grumpaboo though?

- [Benjamin] Yeah.

(gentle somber music)

(Aaron coughing softly)

- I never could make that Grumpaboo call though.

You know--

(Benjamin howling)

You remember how...

Dad used to tell the story?

- Which part?

- The ending.

Every time dad told the story,

he'd get to the ending

and he'd contrive some reason to leave the campfire, right?

- Yeah, yeah, I think I remember this.

- To smoke a cigarette or,

you know, get the graham crackers or whatever.

Then, all of a sudden,

we would hear the sound,

you know, the Grumpaboo call.

Way, way in the distance.

Then he'd come back to the campfire and he'd say,

"You kids hear something?"

- You're kidding.

- It sounds stupid now I guess.

- I mean, when we were what, six and seven,

that shit scared the piss out of us.

Scary.

- Oxenfree was dad's idea, right?

- [Roy] Right.

- Originally?

- Oh, yeah.

I mean, it all started when we found the toilet.

God.

Right?

God, how we laughed about that thing.

And we couldn't decide what to do with it.

- We were gonna, we were gonna tip it into the lake.

- But then dad tells us that it's an old throne.

(Benjamin chuckles)

- Throne to an ancient kingdom.

- We were off to the races.

(Benjamin sighs)

- You were too young for all of that, right?

- Yeah, I think so.

By the time was bringing me up here, summers,

Oxenfree already had a map, a King, all these rules.

The whole thing seemed so fuckin'

mysterious to me back then.

I just wanted to play with you guys.

- Well hey now, we let you be the Chief.

- Yeah, so you could gang up on me.

So you could fight somebody who wasn't imaginary.

- Trust me, that was the only time we got along.

(Aaron chuckles)

- When you were bullying me?

- Bullying you?

- Yeah, you did.

Well, you did.

You mostly ignored me.

I mean, I get it.

I'm the biological son, I'm the favorite, whatever.

All that old bullshit.

- So is that why you drug all this old shit out of storage,

so you could lecture us, what, 20 years too late?

(Aaron coughing)

- Nope.

The reason I dug all this out of storage is...

Just to give us something besides arguing

to do this weekend.

I figured...

Once you saw the Fort and costumes

and all the silliness, it...

(scoffs)

I don't, I don't know, I don't know what I thought.

(Roy sighs)

- Not to get all gay on you guys...

But,

I guess I'm really glad that you did.

(Roy sighs)

- Hear, hear.

Hear, hear.

(Benjamin chuckles)

Hear, hear.

(Roy chuckles)

(Aaron choking)

(discordant music)

Hey, hey, Air Bear.

Air Bear!

Benjamin, Benjamin, Benjamin get up!

Get up!

- Oh, what the fuck?

- I don't know, something's happening--

- Come on, Roy!

What the fuck?

Fuck, what do we do, what do we do?

Do we call somebody?

What should I do?

- You gotta go down to the dock.

You gotta go down to the dock.

(both speaking muffled)

Aaron?

Aaron, Aaron?

Buddy?

We're gonna go up.

Hey, hey, hey.

- What-- - Hey, hey.

What do you wanna do?

Come on, you want to go lie back down?

What do you need?

Is that better, is that worse?

Is that better or is that worse, man?

How's that?

What you need?

What you need, you need to go back down?

You wanna sit back down?

Man, am I killing you?

Am I killing you?

You gotta tell me if I'm doing something.

You gotta give me something, Aaron.

Aaron, you gotta give me something.

Come on, come on.

Hey.

Hey.

Come on Aaron, you gotta fuckin' give me something here pal.

What am I doing?

What am I doing?

(Aaron mumbling)

- What?

Green?

- [Aaron] Mmhmm.

- What?

Green what?

What are you talking about?

You got some green pills?

What do you got?

What do you got?

- [Aaron] Tote.

- Huh?

- [Aaron] Tote.

Tote.

- Tote, the tote?

- [Aaron] Tote.

- Are you talking about the tote?

The green tote?

The green tote outside?

The green tote outside, that's what you need?

Okay.

Okay, well I'll go get it, I'll go get the green tote,

that's what you need.

Can you sit up?

Can you sit (groans) damn it.

Come on pal.

Come on.

Adjusting, adjusting right now.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

There you go.

(zipper unzipping)

(Roy groaning)

(eerie howling)

Benj?

(Aaron wheezing)

(dramatic music)

Benjamin!

Benjamin!

(beastly breathing)

(dramatic instrumental music)

(watch ticking)

Hey, hey I told you to sit up.

Hey this is what you're talking about, right?

Right?

Okay.

Okay.

Come on pal, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Huh?

Listen buddy, you gotta tell me

if I'm doing something wrong here,

'cause this is just guesswork.

Okay.

Okay, how's that?

How's that?

Is it too much?

(Aaron coughing) It's too much?

It's too much?

Okay, okay, okay.

(Aaron coughing) That's okay.

It's okay.

(oxygen hissing)

It's okay.

Come on pal, come on buddy.

Come on, all right.

Which way is it going?

Huh?

Huh?

(Aaron mumbling)

- You need me to move?

You need me to move, pal?

Okay. - Don't.

(Aaron mumbling)

- What?

- Don't leave.

Don't leave.

- I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

It's okay.

- I'm scared.

- It's okay.

- I'm scared.

- It's all right.

Hey, you're okay.

It's all right.

(gentle music)

(Aaron coughing)

- Where's Benj?

They were both carriers, I guess.

It's like the only way it could happen.

There's a one in four chance of both parents

carrying the recessive gene.

Which mom does, and dad did.

So, you know, they're, you know, both fine.

Always have been.

Like I said, it's recessive.

- How long have you known?

(Aaron sighs)

- Seven months, 11 days.

Oh (clears throat) I was coughing something like, too much.

And it started to ripple out and all this other

stuff, you know?

Katie and I couldn't really go hiking anymore,

I'd get so out of breath and,

I had weird string of sinus infections and

bronchitis, all this kind of stuff.

So, you know, Katie said I oughta get tested.

She's the one who looked up all the symptoms

in the first place and uh...

Yeah.

She turned out to be right.

Soon as I find out of course,

things then immediately go sour between the two of us,

Katie and me.

You know, all the extra stresses and,

you know, medical expenses.

She said I started lashing out.

I said I needed space.

She said maybe I should take it.

So, I quit my job.

Moved up here.

Visit home once again, you know?

Shower, see mom, check my email.

(clears throat)

10 years though, you know?

It's funny how something like this can just crush that,

just squash it, like it was never there.

(somber piano music)

Big thing for me right now is why?

- Why?

- Why anything?

I could have 15 minutes.

Why, you know, why a job?

Why a girlfriend, a wife?

(scoffs)

Children?

You know, it's, I'm sterile because of this shit.

We always wanted kids.

It was really important to me.

I wanted a chance to be like dad, for somebody.

And you know, she deserves to live the life that she wants.

And uh...

I can't give her that.

So, you know, why?

(clears throat)

Why make any effort?

Which mom does know, by the way.

And you two are the trick.

It boiled down to a matter of timing.

I figured, up here if anywhere, right?

I wanted to see it again.

I wanted to see the two of you again.

I figured this place would be the only way I could.

I lured the two of you up here.

All this was just for...

Insurance.

The idea was to rebuild.

Remind everybody that we all used to...

Care about something, if not necessarily each other.

I don't know.

Some place, I guess.

- Did they say 15 minutes?

- Um...

(sniffles)

Life expectancy is uh, 35, typically, if you're lucky.

Doctor I spoke to said she'd never seen such a late onset

of CF before.

So...

What's become the funniest to me now is

the way you guys use the word biological.

Like it's some badge of honor, special privilege.

Look what I inherited.

And back then, I used to...

Imagine that we were all adopted.

So I could feel included.

Sort of weird to be back in that mindset.

- [Benjamin] I'm listening.

- That's pretty much all I had to say.

- [Benjamin] Good.

We're burning daylight.

- Benjamin thinks he...

Saw something.

- What does Benjamin think he saw?

- Something.

Nobody's dying without seeing that goddamn Grumpaboo.

(upbeat music)

(electric razor whirring)

- Your majesty.

Only you among us have actually crossed the border

and laid eyes on the beast's lair.

Will you not take the duties of Royal Trailblazer

and Wartime President?

- Yes.

And...

Ninja Master.

And you, good Captain Danger,

the only man to have seen the beast, and lived.

You shall serve as Head Cartographer,

Secret Android, and Grumpaboo Expert.

- I am most honored, sire.

- What of I?

Brave Chief Triceratops?

What task do you lay before me?

- Your highness?

If I may have your permission?

I would see the noble Chief

named Monster Hunter,

Arch Wizard,

and Grump Slayer.

- It shall be so.

- Tell us then, Royal Trailblazer,

where shall we find this Grump I am to slay?

(dramatic music)

So it exists.

- So it does.

- Told ya.

- [Chief Triceratops] You think that thing's

gonna hold my weight?

- Did I not name you Grump Slayer?

Go.

And goddamn slay the thing.

I mean, what's gonna happen?

You gonna die?

- Yeah.

- While I on the other hand have elected to watch

from a safe distance.

- [Chief Triceratops] Yeah, thanks, pussy.

- Godspeed, Grump Slayer.

- [Oxenking] Damn.

- [Captain Danger] Nobody home?

- Looks like no.

Guys, I dunno.

- [Captain Danger] Yeah.

- [Oxenking] Anybody know Mort McKinnon?

- No, why?

Should we?

- Maybe.

I guess this is his property.

- Huh, I sort of wondered.

Those tracks I saw, they were probably too small

for a Grumpaboo.

- [Chief Triceratops] So what, beavers then or--

- [Captain Danger] Yeah.

- The truth is dad probably didn't want us

running around this other guy,

this McKinnon's property.

So he made the Grumpaboo story to scare us off.

I mean, to his credit, it fuckin' worked.

(Captain Danger chuckles)

- [Captain Danger] Yeah.

(Captain Danger sighs)

Uh, I don't know what in the hell I saw then.

- Uh, Roy.

Hand me the flag.

(triumphant music)

I hereby proclaim this beaver lodge

to be forever renamed Fort Grumpaboo,

for the Kingdom of Oxenfree!

Oxenfree!

- Oxenfree!

- Oxenfree!

- [Chief Triceratops] Oxenfree!

- [Captain Danger] Oxenfree!

(Captain Danger yelling)

(Oxenking howling)

(Chief Triceratops howling)

- [Benjamin] Did you grab the squirt gun?

- Oh, I set it by the climbing tree, I--

- Oh, I'll go get it--

- No, no, no, it's okay, I got it.

Shoulda grabbed it in the first place.

- [Roy] Thanks.

- Yeah, you bet.

- No, I mean, uh,

thanks for rebuilding all this stuff.

- Thanks for building it.

(gentle acoustic guitar music)

(Aaron coughing)

(ominous music) (watch ticking)

(beastly growling)

(dramatic instrumental music)

(beastly snorting)

(woman singing hauntingly)

- [Roy] Aaron?

Dude-- (Aaron coughing)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, buddy, hey, hey, you all right?

Did you have another attack?

- I'm not sure.

I'm okay.

- [Roy] What happened?

(Aaron breathing heavy)

- Did you guys see that?

- No, we heard you and we came running.

I knew I shouldn't have sent you for that damn squirt gun.

(Aaron coughing)

- [Roy] You okay?

Are you okay though?

- Yeah, yeah.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm alive.

I'm alive.

I'm alive.

- How about we uh, let's get you a hit on that oxygen, huh?

That'll make a world of difference, huh Air Bear?

Come on buddy.

(Aaron coughing) Come on.

- [Benjamin] You got him, Roy?

- Yeah, I got him.

I got him.

(gentle acoustic guitar music)

- Hi, I'm drinking.

Beer.

I know.

(Benjamin chuckles)

You gonna miss me all drunk later.

The question is, are you drinking?

- [Roy] Then again, we got far apart from each other, yeah.

Threw it in the same hand.

- [Aaron] Well, I appreciate you offering to help look

all the same.

I am sorry I threw it.

- [Roy] Eh, it was on me.

(eerie howling)

- [Aaron] Did you hear that?

- Where's Benjamin?

- [Aaron] Down by the dock, he said.

- Oh yeah.

Okay, here he comes, running.

He's running.

What do you think, act natural?

- Yeah.

You read my mind.

- [Roy] Okay.

Okay.

(Roy clears throat)

- Did you guys hear that--

- Hear that howling just now?

Matter of fact, we did.

- At first I assumed it was just you two idiots

being idiots, but...

You wouldn't make the echo like that.

Not from across the lake.

It came from over there.

It came from Oxenfree.

- Huh.

Spooky.

- I guess it must not have been home then, huh?

- I guess.

Hey, I don't suppose the two of you would want to...

Take a look at first light, or something?

- I might skin you alive if I stay a second longer.

- [Benjamin] Yeah.

- [Roy] Next year.

- [Benjamin] Yeah.

(Aaron sniffling)

- Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey buddy, what's,

what's wrong?

- [Aaron] No uh, yep, it's okay.

It's uh, it's stupid.

- Do you need something?

Anything from the totes or--

- No, no.

Oh, my God.

Roy, it was a thing you said.

Like Benjamin heard the howl, right?

And you want to go check it out, like maybe tomorrow.

And then, you said...

- "Next year."

- Yeah, yeah.

That's it, that's all.

Next year got me because,

I'm almost fucking terrified to ask...

I've done nothing but dread and dread tomorrow morning,

all weekend.

It was hard enough to get you guys here as it is and...

You say next year.

I...

I don't even know if I'm gonna be here.

(Aaron sniffling)

When dad's heart started giving out, everybody scattered.

And I thought, maybe,

when you found out about this...

- [Roy] We'd scatter too.

(Aaron sobbing quietly)

- I don't know.

I'm sorry.

(Aaron sniffling)

I said it was stupid.

And no one should bother.

- [Benjamin] Wait.

You're annexing Dino Cove?

- To Oxenfree, yeah.

I, uh...

Couldn't decide how far his border should extend.

- Surely to the Sticky Marsh and uh, no farther.

(Benjamin chuckling)

So says the King.

(Aaron sighs)

(gentle music)

What do you mean by trap?

- [Benjamin] I'm just clarifying that I understand you're

trying to do a nice thing, my staying here--

- No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, not setting a trap.

What the hell does that mean, a trap?

- 'Cause, number one, if I go in there,

Emma will forgive me for staying here for what you did.

And then I won't have to say you were tackling me

and taking my keys and throwing them into the woods.

- [Roy] Please, do you really think Em's gonna--

(Roy and Benjamin speaking quietly)

- But anyways, the real reason

for why you took my keys is that you were nice,

and the real reason is that I have 15 hours to drive today,

and I'm starting late,

and I'm, good morning Aaron, and I,

the sooner I get started,

the sooner I'll be home.

- Yeah, because that's what this is about.

What, you, hey uh, did you sleep all right?

All right.

- [Benjamin] It's not entirely about me Roy,

but it affects me.

- [Roy] It affects you, it affects your sister-in-law,

your nieces and oh yeah, your goddamn brother.

- Can we maybe...

(sighs)

Here's my suggestion.

Can we, can we establish a later date--

(Benjamin speaking quietly)

Fucking impossible.

What the...

- That bad?

- Well, I don't want to drive to Fergus tonight.

And I don't, I especially don't want to sit there

at that dinner table with his two daughters

that I've never even met,

and his wife, who has every reason to despise me.

I mean, you're kidding me, right?

- It sounds pretty rough, yeah.

- And I get it.

He's trying to be nice.

(sighs)

And I appreciate the offer.

He's just also...

He's just (sighs)--

- Being Roy.

(Benjamin chuckles)

- He's being Roy.

Anyway...

When are you taking off?

- Oh...

The thought was today but...

I don't know, I just...

(birds chirping)

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I know.

- Yeah.

Well...

- Come on.

Come on.

(gentle piano music)

(Benjamin sobbing)

- I'm sorry...

For everything before.

And I'm sorry about all the shit

that I'll probably do until next year.

(sobbing quietly)

- Until next year.

- [Roy] That little fucker ran away from me.

- You guys settle on a date then, or what?

- Yeah, November 14.

Em's birthday.

And I mean, who knows?

The only commitment of his I can actually trust is

next year.

So if he doesn't show,

I'll just bust his ass then, you know?

- Fair enough.

- Oh hey uh, before I forget.

(keys jingling)

I suppose you're probably sticking around

for a while though, huh?

- Hey.

Did you and Benjamin fish these out this morning or what?

- Yeah, before you were awake.

- Huh.

(Roy clearing throat)

- Well...

I suppose...

- Yeah.

Yeah, uh.

(clears throat)

- Hey listen, don't leave that lady waitin', all right?

I want a save the date in my mailbox by the end of the year.

- [Aaron] All right, let's not go crazy.

We'll see, we'll see what she says.

- Yes is what she's gonna say with 10 years on her, Jesus!

Farewell, Grump Slayer.

Your King releases you from another weekend of service.

- Farewell, your majesty.

Long live the King.
