Honey, honey, what are you still doing here?

Your Halloween party started like 30 minutes ago. What are you still doing

You look great.

Oh, no, you really do. You look so scary.

Well, if you didn't like your costume, you should have

told me before this.

day of.

I spent the last four weekends working with you on this. Are you sure you don't

like it?

Maybe if I just adjust this a little bit, maybe...

Honey, come on.

This is the... This is your first big party. Don't you want to go?

You can't stay inside with your mother forever.

Especially on Halloween.

Yes,

it's important for you to get out and, I don't know, socialize

with your peers.

That's so sweet of you, honey, but I'm not your peer.

I am way...

Too old for you.

I don't know. Well, I can't relate to you. You're so young.

It's time for you to go out and be with your friends.

You know, and Halloween is such a good, fun time to do that. Don't you think?

It's about time you stopped worrying about your mother all the time.

You fret about me, but when I go to the grocery store, you insist on going with

me, honestly.

Well, I don't have any problem with it.

As your mother, I want to make sure that you get,

you know, exposure.

Like, you're not just only experiencing your own mother, you know?

However much I might want that, you know, it's just... I don't know, it's

selfish on my part, and I just... Honey, I'm

just trying to make sure that you get out, you know.

You're a man now. It's about time that you start going out and...

You know, meeting girls and everything.

It's not fair that I just keep you to myself. It's not fair.

I have to let you go out and make your own life and

everything. I mean... No, I can't keep you

to myself.

It don't matter how much you want me to. It's just not right. As your mother, I

have to be the one to step in.

You know, step in and say no.

That's what I'm doing.

I... I'm saying no.

And that's final.

I know what you're doing.

I'm not going to look at you.

No, I'm... Don't do it.

No, I know you're doing it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it.

That pouty face always gets me.

Stop!

That's too much.

How could I say no to that face?

I've been trying to... I've been reading books about, you know, standing your

ground as a parent and they never said anything about that face.

What am I doing?

Oh, I don't know.

It was supposed to be your big night out, and so I didn't really have

planned. I guess I was just going to worry about you all night until you

me.

Well, I figured you would drink a little bit, and I was going to come pick you

up.

I don't know. I wasn't going to give those trick -or -treaters candy or

anything.

I don't know. I was going to watch a scary movie or something.

Oh.

You're just saying that.

You can just go to your room and do whatever you want. Are you sure you want

to... Oh.

Want to spend Halloween with your mother?

Oh, your boring old mother.

Oh.

You're such a sweet boy.

I never thought I'd be so lucky to have a son like you.

What movie?

I don't know.

The Shining or something.

What?

That's a classic. Are you kidding me?

Oh, I watch it every year.

You can't...

Well, fine. If you don't want to watch that, then... Do you know of a better

movie?

Oh, that's a new one.

Are you sure?

I don't know.

I don't know. It sounds a little bit scary.

I know it's Halloween.

Are you sure?

I'm just going to watch it on my bed.

All right, fine.

But you have to, I just don't want to be too scared, okay? You have to promise

that we turn it off as soon as it gets too scary.

Your father was the same way.

Okay, fine, fine, fine. We'll watch.

That movie.

Okay, come on, get the blanket.

Oh, I don't know about this, honey. I... Well, I know you're like

a movie buff and everything and it's just like you... Oh, you probably found

the scariest movie.

Don't call your mother a wimp.

How dare you? Even if I was.

Listen, the scariest movie I ever saw was The Shining. The first

time I saw it, I was terrified.

I was grabbing onto your father and everything for the whole movie, and I'm

so dated, you know? I mean, even now, it scares me,

but... I know the graphics and, you know, the computer things that

they do. It's just so scary.

Do we have to watch something scary like this?

Well,

you know, The Shining is kind of like a... I don't know.

You know, kind of like a comfy scary movie.

We can't watch one of those?

Okay.

What's it called again?

That sounds... Okay.

Oh, jeez, honey.

Okay, let's see if I can find it on the programming.

Let me see.

Should I just go to the horror genre?

They don't make it easy, do they?

Oh, honey, can't we just watch something else?

Is that it?

Okay. Oh, my gosh.

I'm probably going to regret this.

Oh, honey, can't we just watch something else?

I don't know about this.

Oh, even the intro credits, they're so scary.

Oh, you know

how these movies are. They always get, you know, the loud sounds and

the jump scares.

Oh, I hate them.

You're young. You're not prone to having heart attacks.

Yes, I am.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, honey, I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know.

Oh, can you just tell me if something scary happens? I just don't know if I

handle it.

Oh, I'm serious. I don't know.

Maybe if you're... father were here to hold me um

i'm just the music and everything i can tell this is gonna be very scary

oh my goodness honey i'm not a wimp i just i

i'm just not used to the graphics your generation

creates you know it's just a little history Carey, for

your mother, you have to have a little bit of compassion.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, honey, I...

I don't know if I can take this.

Can

I

just cuddle up on you, honey?

This is scary.

You don't understand.

If you want to keep watching this, you need to...

Hold your mother.

I'm sorry, honey.

Oh, I'm so sorry. It's terrifying.

your mother, please, just tell me, just, oh, honey, honey,

please, just tell me when it's over.

You're going to have to tell me.

Oh, come on, honey. I would never watch this movie by myself. You have to tell

me when to look.

Why did you choose this movie?

Honey,

I can't watch this.

Well, maybe if your father were here, I could... I could manage,

but... What?

Well, because, you know... I would... I would cuddle

him and...

Squeeze them and basically use them as a human shield so I wouldn't have to

watch the movie.

You're so... Oh, honey, you're so sweet.

You don't have to do that.

You're just saying that.

You want to protect me?

Oh.

My gallant son wants to protect his mother from the movie he chose to

watch. Oh, honey.

Well, it is very scary.

Can I just... Can I put my legs on you?

It would help a lot.

Sorry,

honey.

Oh, honey, please hold me.

Hold my legs.

That's the only way I can. Watch scary movies when... When I'm being held.

Oh my god. Honey.

Honey. Honey. I don't know. I don't know.

Oh my god.

Honey, I... If you want me to keep watching this, I have to...

You

have to tell me.

Hold me.

Hold me.

I don't know if I can take it.

I don't want to see. I don't want to see.

Oh, honey, hold me.

Oh, can't you see how scared your mother is?

Well, you have to either turn off the movie or hold me.

It's so terrifying.

I'm so sorry.

Well, you know, you were the one who wanted to stay home with your mother.

could have been with, I don't know, some girl who's more

used to this kind of thing.

I'm such a wimp. I'm sorry.

Oh, my gosh.

Well,

another girl wouldn't be so terrified.

She wouldn't need to cuddle up to you like this.

I know. It's such a burden. I'm so sorry.

I know. It must be so annoying.

I'm so sorry.

so you can tell me when I can look at everything.

Oh.

I don't want to watch. I don't want to watch.

Don't make me watch. What are you going to look at when I'm...

Oh, honey.

No, don't look at your mother. Watch the movie.

Are you distracting me? I'm trying to watch.

Stop moving like that.

Your mother can't focus on the movie.

Honey, I'm trying to watch the movie.

You're just distracting me.

You're distracting me.

Is there a scary part coming up?

Oh, honey.

Can you hold me a little bit closer?

I'm so scared.

Oh,

honey,

just...

Hold me.

Oh, your mother's so scared.

Just hold me close.

Oh, I can't watch scary movies without arms around me.

Lonnie.

Could you do that for me?

Just... All you have to do is hold me.

It's so scary.

Honey.

You have to tell me when something scary is about to

happen.

I just need to know before it happens.

Honey.

Can

you,

um...

Can you hold me closer?

Just... me.

That's so scary.

Just a little bit.

Just enough to...

I'm so sorry.

It's just a little... a little too close.

Damn.

I did warn you, though, I mean... I

did tell you I couldn't handle watching scary movies.

Do you want to continue to watch that movie?

Okay, just as long

as you hold me close.

The whole time.

You need to protect your mother.

You're poor.

A vulnerable mother.
