(eerie droning)

(bright warm music)

(Charles snoring)

- [Charles] Leave me alone!

- [Leroy] Come on, drag your sorry skin outta bed.

We're here to see ya.

(Charles coughing)

- It's us, Leroy and Vye.

(Charles coughing)

- Hey, Vye, can I have one of them cigarettes?

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

So, what brings you here, diggin' up the damned?

- We haven't seen you for a while.

It's good to see that you're doing so well.

- [Charles] I'm gettin' by.

- So what the hell have you been doing?

- Oh, nothin', nothin' much.

I was reading,

but I'm not reading anymore.

I was writing, but I'm not writing anymore.

I was thinkin', but then I gave that up too.

- Not thinking? Doesn't sound like you.

- Unfortunately, it is like me.

My thoughts are neither pure enough to stand on their own,

or practical enough to serve society.

Therefore, I have no choice but to sequester myself

in this cell until some reason draws me out into daylight.

Actually, I've just been lonely here.

- What about these people you live with?

- Rednecks lose their provincial appeal very quickly.

- Wait a minute, there's not one person you can talk to

or walk with?

- Don't you see?

I've been damned by society, left out, excluded.

- Well, you don't have to be so proud of it.

You know, we've all been excluded from society.

We don't lock ourselves in dark little rooms

and paint all the windows.

- These windows are not painted.

- No?

(window squeaks)

No,

(Charles laughs) it's dirty as hell, I guess.

- I have missed you, I've missed you both.

- And we've missed you, and we've worried about you.

- Especially since we're going away.

- Wait, goin' away? Where are you going?

- [Vye] Paris.

- France? That's a long way away.

- Well, if the arrangements come through,

and they accept Vye's artwork,

then we leave at the end of the summer.

But I hate to leave you in this miserable condition.

- Well, don't worry about me, I'm gettin' by.

You guys have to go if you get the chance.

It'd be great for you, a foreign land, big city.

Damn, that's just what France needs,

two visionaries like you.

- I think you overestimate me. Vye is the great visionary.

I'm just an animal responding to my surroundings.

- An animal responding to his surroundings.

I like that. Do you mind if I write it down?

- No, go ahead, I got a million of 'em.

- Got a pencil?

- Speaking of surroundings,

this place is unbelievably ugly.

- I'm sorry, Vye.

I haven't done much to make it a very happy place.

It's a dump,

but it's a true representation of how I really feel inside.

(cicadas chirping) (soft upbeat music)

- [Leroy] The "Venus de Milo."

- Yes, the muse of my life.

She's been my only companion in these hours of hopelessness

and dreary study.

She's the witness to my isolation.

- A symbol of antiquity and tradition?

- And also of hope and love.

She comforts me when life gets ugly,

she excites me when life gets dull,

and she's always there for me.

Isn't she beautiful?

- What a body she has!

- Funny, tonight I only see what she doesn't have.

She's an armless and no doubt brainless torso,

a cheap plaster whore.

Charles, you can do better than this.

It's nothing but an imitation.

(statue shattering)

- [Vye] Why did you do that?

- [Charles] You asshole, you asshole!

- [Leroy] She's no good for you, she's a sick substitute.

- She's a figure of tradition! You have no right!

(men groaning)

- Hey, hey, Charles, why don't you come stay with us

until the end of the summer?

(men panting and groaning)

(punches thudding)

Now listen to me!

Charles, you will come stay with us this summer,

away from this filthy garret, and Leroy, say you're sorry!

(Leroy gagging)

Shut up and say you're sorry!

- You didn't have to break my Venus.

- Well, since Vye is wearing the monkey gloves, I'm sorry.

I guess I got carried away. I feel like an idiot.

- It's okay, I forgive you.

You're right, the Venus was just a substitute.

- Well, maybe if you had a little bit more confidence,

willing to face the world.

Come stay with us. Come stay with us this summer.

Get out of this hell hole.

- Do you really think that'll work?

Could you have someone like me in your home,

a wreck like me?

- If you can accept an asshole like me.

- And we will see to it that by the end of the summer,

you'll no longer be alone and depressed.

- I appreciate the offer, but you must understand,

I've been isolated here for quite a while.

It'll take me some time to make a decision.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's no big deal.

It's an open invitation. You know where we live.

Just show up whenever you like.

(spray can hissing)

And if I find out you glued that Venus back together,

I'm gonna whip your ass.

(upbeat music)

(car horn honking)

(car tires screeching)

(warm pensive music) (cicadas chirping)

- [Instructor] Bonjour!

Today, we will take a tour through Paris.

(Vye sighs softly)

Bonjour! (speaking in French)

(warm pensive music)

(instructor speaking french: ecoutez et repetez)

(instructor: La Tour Eiffel)

(Vye: La Tour Eiffel)

(instructor speaking in French)

[Vye] Le Moulin Rouge.

(instructor speaking in French: Le Moulin Rouge)

- It's me!

- Come in, Azalea.

(instructor speaking in French)

Why are you wearing that big fur coat?

- [Azalea] Don't you like it?

- Y'all like some beer?

- Yes, that's a good idea.

- Yes, please, I'm thirsty.

Guess what. - What?

- I got kicked out of my house.

- [Vye] Really? Why?

- I'm livin' in a motel now out by the highway,

but I like it.

Are you ready?

- [Vye] Yes, I'm ready.

(pencil scratching against paper)

- Leroy, you can draw me too.

- No, thanks, I don't feel like drawing.

- You're lucky to have such a wonderful man.

- Yeah, well, thanks, I like him too, sometimes.

- It must be nice to have somebody

to eat with and sleep with.

You must really love him.

- I do, I really love him.

(crickets chirping)

You're really beautiful, the way the light is hitting you.

- [Azalea] What's more beautiful, me or the light?

- [Vye] That's difficult to say,

the way the light and shadows dance across your nipples,

and the caress across your smooth stomach.

- That's a gorgeous necklace.

- Thank you, I've had it a long time.

Leroy gave it to me.

- It's really striking.

- [Vye] Would you like to try it on?

- I'd love to.

(bright pensive music) (cicadas chirping)

I love it. Can I borrow it for a while?

- Yeah, I guess.

- Thank you.

(bright pensive music) (cicadas chirping)

(bright tinkling)

- [Leroy] You know, this doll looks just like Azalea.

- You're right.

- It's strange, looks exactly like her. Isn't that wild?

- Yeah, I thought she looked familiar. That's great.

- "I'm Azalea!

"Draw me! Draw me!"

- Let me see her.

Hi, Leroy, I'm Azalea.

How are you?

- Oh, Azalea, what are you doing?

- [Vye] She can watch.

(Vye giggles softly)

(laughs)

(laughs) No tickling!

(crickets chirping)

Come here.

- [Leroy] What?

- Come in here and look.

- I don't wanna go out, I'm gettin' ready for bed.

- I know, but look.

(fire crackling)

[Vye] He's coming very soon.

- [Leroy] Did you get a message?

- [Vye] No, but he's coming here tonight.

- [Leroy] Tonight? How do you know that?

- [Vye] I can just tell.

(fire crackling)

(wooden boards clattering)

- Well, I'm goin' to bed.

(crickets chirping) (fire crackling)

Petie Ponte.

Petie Ponte!

Petie Ponte.

(mysterious laughing)

(Leroy laughing)

(mysterious laughing) Petie.

(mysterious pensive music)

- [Woman] I've never seen that before.

What an ugly little thing.

(Leroy chuckling)

(mysterious pensive music)

- [Leroy] Petie.

(mysterious pensive music)

[Man] To them, any unusual occurrence in nature

was a miracle.

- [Woman] I've never seen that before.

That's a ugly little thing.

- [Leroy] Petie Ponte, Petie Ponte.

Petie Ponte.

(crickets chirping)

(laughs) Petie Ponte.

Petie.

(crickets chirping)

Petie Ponte.

You are Petie Ponte.

- No, it's me, Charles.

I've come. Sorry to wake you.

You must have been dreaming.

- I was dreaming. I'm glad you're here.

(rooster crowing)

- 10:30, yeah, that's right.

I was getting ready to go to bed at 10:30,

and I got as far as cutting off the lights

and fluffing up my pillow when it dawned on me:

Now is the time to leave.

I packed my things, which took almost no time,

freed up a few assets, caught the last bus,

and never looked back.

- [Leroy] Well, it's good to see you're so happy.

- I am happy. I sat right up front next to the bus driver.

You know how I love to do that.

All the other passengers were asleep,

and I encouraged him to drive just as fast as he wanted to.

The bus started shakin',

the wind howlin' through the windows.

(birds chirping)

- Come on, kitty, kitty.

(cat mewing)

Come here, pussycat.

Oh, there you are, whatever your name is.

Would you like some milk? (cat mewing)

Would you like some milk? Come on.

(birds chirping)

Oh! What a little beast.

- So you're here to stay?

- Well, I can't go back, I burned that shack to a cinder.

Took what you said to heart.

Let fire cleanse the soul, make way for a new crop.

- [Leroy] I never said that.

- Burned it down anyway.

- Charles, would you like some coffee?

- I sure would.

And I'll add a drop of my own homemade sarsaparilla,

if you don't mind.

Would you like to try some? It's awfully good stuff.

I find nothing gets me goin' better in the mornin'

than a cigarette and some sarsaparilla.

- Well, you look great.

- And I feel great, and it's all thanks to the two of you.

You're the ones who got me outta my rut.

What can I do to repay you?

- We'll figure out something later.

- No, I wanna start repaying you right away!

- Well, Azalea was supposed to model for me,

but she hasn't shown up.

You could model for me.

- Then that's just exactly what I'll do.

(triumphant music)

- It's me!

- Ah, there you are! - Good mornin', Azalea.

- Who is that guy? I thought I was your model.

And introduce me to your friend.

- This here is Charles, a philosopher, direct from Athens.

- Hi, I'm Azalea.

- And a true flower.

- Hmm.

I happen to have this bottle of chilled French champagne.

It would do wonders for my hangover.

It'd be a shame to let it get warm.

(bright lively music)

(cork pops)

- That Azalea's kinda cute.

- She's okay for a blonde.

- She's not a blonde.

- She sure acts like one.

She annoys me after a certain point.

- She doesn't annoy me.

- You're easily influenced.

You don't know her as well as I do.

- This is true, but she's still kinda cute.

- Yeah, cute, cute, cute.

(warm music)

(car engine rumbling)

(cars revving)

- Charles, Leroy,

- hell on fire! - Oh, shit, there's Earl.

- Ain't seein' you boys in a while!

Hey, how are ya? - Hey, how are you?

- What you been up to, Leroy?

- [Leroy] Uh, nothin' really.

- You still out there workin' at the grocery store?

- Yes, sir, I'm assistant manager now.

- So you're still out there at the Piggly Wiggly

pushin' pork guts to poor folk.

- Well, I guess that's one way of lookin' at it.

- [Earl] What about you, Chuck, what you been up to?

- Currently unemployed.

(car engines rumbling)

- So where are you stayin' now, Charles?

- With Vye and Leroy.

- Vye and Leroy? What are you, some kinda wuss?

You might as well go back to Mama

with your tail between your legs.

If you ask me, a man needs his own home.

- Yeah, well, I'm workin' on it.

- His own home, his own car, and his own woman.

- Yeah.

- That's right, after you, after you, big boy.

(car revving)

(warm music)

- I get lonely sometimes too.

- [Azalea] What do you mean?

- You said you didn't wanna be alone.

- Oh, I wasn't lonely. I was bored.

- Hmm, I never get bored, but I do get lonely.

- Why?

- Well, I have Leroy,

but sometimes I feel removed from everything,

do you know what I mean?

It's not his fault, but sometimes we're at home together

and he's not busy, but he's not really with me either.

And even if we sit close together,

I feel a great distance between us.

Don't you feel that way sometimes, removed?

A deep realization that no matter

how we may connect ourselves with one another,

you're always alone?

- You're talking so seriously. Let's just pick flowers.

(warm music)

(car revving)

- Each day, we make a little bit of history

without even tryin'.

It may not be the history everyone hears about,

but it's just as important.

It all adds up.

Ain't nothin' out there that you can't find right here.

It's the same all over the world.

When you've watched something as closely

as I've watched this little town,

and you know it well, and you know the people,

you can't help but love it.

(car revving)

There's been some talk

that you might be leavin' town, Leroy.

- Yeah, that's right. Maybe goin' to Paris.

- That's crazy, man. That's fuckin' crazy.

(cars revving)

(speaking drowned out by cars revving)

(car tires screeching)

- Leroy.

- [Leroy] Yeah?

- I've thought about it a lot,

and I've decided to get my own place.

- [Leroy] What the hell?

I thought you were staying with us this summer.

- Well, I appreciate all you've done for me.

Don't you think it's better if I'm on my own

before you leave for Paris?

- Where'd you get that idea?

But if you want your own house, I don't care.

Wait, you're not gonna hole up

in one of those rat nests again, are you?

- No, you'll see. You can come visit.

It'll be a real house this time,

with furniture and everything.

- Hmm, furniture, hmm?

(bright warm music) (cicadas chirping)

- Oh, my God! (gasps)

(tense music)

(Azalea gasping and squealing)

- It's beautiful, isn't it?

- I guess.

- Yes, nature has expressed herself magnificently

in this Lepidoptera plexiddus,

commonly known as the monarch butterfly.

- But it's ugly. It's thick and fuzzy.

- If you think he's ugly now,

you should have seen him when he was a caterpillar.

We must respect this little creature

for undergoing such a startling metamorphosis.

(butterfly wings flapping) (children yelling happily)

- What are you doing here anyway?

- I was looking at a house nearby.

- Looking? Looking for what?

- A place to live, and I found one.

It's really big and old, kinda pricey, but it's mine.

- Oh, yeah? You wanna share?

- Oh, that's right, you were looking for a place.

- [Azalea] Mm-hmm.

- You wanna see it?

- It's got two bedrooms, right?

- [Charles] Mm-hmm.

- I'll trust you from there.

And if it doesn't work, you can just kick me out.

- Well, let me think about it.

- Tell me when you're done thinkin'.

- I gotta go outta town overnight

to get some stuff from my folks.

See, I wanna make it a real house this time,

with furniture and everything.

Here's the key. Move in whenever you like.

- I like a man who can make a decision.

- Well, I gotta go now.

- See you later, housemate.

Thank you, little bug. Now I've got a new home.

(magazine smacking loudly) (Azalea gasps and groans)

(Azalea giggling)

(warm music)

(bags clattering)

(bed clattering) (Azalea gasps)

- Hello?

Hello?

(warm music)

- [Azalea] Come in!

- Oh, were you sleeping?

- No, come on up.

Here it is, home, sweet home.

- No lights?

- No electricity till tomorrow.

- This room is big.

Wow, so is this cabinet.

What's the rest of the house like?

- I don't know, I haven't looked around.

This could be Charles's room,

but it's so pink.

It could also be the gala room.

- Great house.

How about a barbecue?

(music)

♪ Someone's knockin' on my screen door ♪

♪ Ghosts of summer sleepin' on my floor ♪

♪ Your head rests on my pillow ♪

♪ I hope that you can stay ♪

♪ We'll dream a sweet dream, chase them ghosts away ♪

♪ The sun is shinin', the south winds blow ♪

♪ Don't ask me nothin', 'cause baby, I don't know ♪

♪ Floatin' down the river, goin' our lazy way ♪

♪ The sound of the water wash your doubts away ♪

- Look, did you realize this was happening

right in our backyard?

It's a cicada nymph.

They live underground, feeding on roots,

the roots of this very tree,

underground for three, seven, even 17 years.

Then one magic summer, they emerge,

spread their new wings.

They fly to the tops of trees,

where they spend the rest of their days

buzzing and mating.

That sound they produce always reminds me of heat.

It is the sound of summer.

- Seems somehow useless, all those years underground,

spent in darkness, to live only briefly in the light.

They die at the end of the summer, you know.

(cicadas chirping)

(crickets chirping)

(mysterious pensive music)

(flame crackling)

(wax mushing)

- [Leroy] It's Petie Ponte.

- Who?

- It's Charles.

I had a dream that Charles was a tiny figure

called Petie Ponte.

Petie represents all of our hopes, yours, yours,

Charles and mine.

He was some kind of guide,

and though he doesn't look like Charles,

he symbolizes him somehow.

When I woke up, I saw Charles

as the embodiment of Petie Ponte.

It's an association I can't seem to forget.

It sticks with me.

- I understand.

It reminds me of the time when I had a dream

that my sister gave me a beautiful ring.

I was sad when I awoke and the ring wasn't real,

but I still felt grateful to my sister all the same.

- That's the kinda logic I mean.

I've got an idea.

I'll hide this little man

to surprise Charles when he returns.

(mysterious pensive music) (crickets chirping)

- I'm gonna put some flowers out for him.

(mysterious pensive music) (crickets chirping)

- Shall we go upstairs? - Yeah.

- I'll be up in a minute.

(mysterious pensive music) (crickets chirping)

- I'm a little tired.

- If I were a kitten, know where I'd sleep?

- Where?

- Up there.

- Yeah, I wanna go up there.

(crickets chirping)

- We'll help you.

(crickets chirping)

- Yes, I like that.

- Let's go for a walk.

- [Leroy] Hey, Vye, you wanna go for a walk?

- She's sleeping.

- Really? Will she be okay up there?

- She's fine. Let's go for a walk.

(crickets chirping)

(birds chirping)

(warm music)

- [Leroy} Nature is powerful, and mysterious,

full of witchcraft.

- [Azalea] It's beautiful.

- We're all part of nature. You have powers too.

(warm music) (birds chirping)

- What kind of powers do you think I have?

- You know, when you walk into a room,

can't help but turn to look at ya.

Create all kinds of feelings in me,

happiness, awe, jealousy.

- You probably think I'm a very selfish person, don't you?

- No.

- Come on, nothing I have was ever given to me.

I've always had to take it from somebody else.

That's selfishness. I had to weasel my way into this house.

And friends, I've always had to fight for friendship.

And love, I've always had to reach out and grab at it.

It's never been offered to me.

- I find that hard to believe. I like you very much.

- Do you? Do you really, Leroy?

If I could feel that something has been offered to me

just once in my life,

without me having to trick or steal it,

it would mean so much to me.

(birds chirping)

(Azalea speaking indistinctly) (Leroy laughing)

Yeah.

(birds chirping)

- I can't do this.

- Please.

- I'm sorry, I can't do this.

- But I really do love you. I'm all alone.

(birds chirping)

(Azalea moaning)

(electricity buzzing)

The electricity.

- What's going on?

- [Leroy] The electricity just came on.

- What time is it?

- [Leroy] It's morning.

- I've been sleeping.

- [Leroy] Let me help you down from there.

- Let's go home. Oh, I guess we should help you clean up.

- That's all right.

And Vye, you can have your necklace back now.

- Oh, thanks.

I'm cold.

(bright pensive music)

- [Leroy] You know, when you walk into a room,

can't help but turn to look at you.

You create all kinds of feelings in me,

happiness, awe, jealousy.

I call that witchcraft, I do.

(bright pensive music)

- Leroy, since you think I'm a witch,

maybe I should start acting like one.

(sound of someone approaching)

- Oh, oh, I'm sorry.

- Hey, hey, wait a minute.

(bright pensive music)

Well?

- Well what? What do you want me to do?

- Just use your instinct.

(bright pensive music)

You didn't notice my flowers here on the mantle.

- (sniffing) They're beautiful.

I can't believe you went to so much trouble.

- I put them there as a housewarming gift for you.

- Oh, really? First day in my new house,

and you're much better than that old "Venus de Milo."

I've got a great idea, let's have a party,

just you, me, Vye, and Leroy.

- But we just had a party. They were here last night.

- Well, sorry I missed it.

We don't have to do it right away, we can wait,

until I've finished my new creation.

- What new creation?

- Well, I haven't created it yet.

But when I do, we'll have a party. Doesn't that sound fun?

- It's a rather limited guest list, don't you think?

- But I only want my closest friends here.

Hey, come look at this.

- [Azalea] They put that there.

- Who?

- Leroy and Vye.

Leroy called it a funny name and said it was you.

- That's strange.

- I think they're mocking you.

- Mocking me?

- I find it silly. Why don't you throw it away?

- No, I think I'll hold on to it.

(apples crunching)

(fencing foil swishing) (rain pattering)

Your only friends,

Charles and Azalea, cordially invite you,

Leroy and Vye, to a gala event at their new estate

for the unveiling of a new creation

at four o'clock p.m. on June 21st,

the Summer Solstice.

Your presence is requested.

Sincerely, Charles.

(warm bluegrass music)

- Hey, Leroy.

- Hey, Azalea.

(warm bluegrass music)

- [Azalea] Good to see you, you look really pretty.

- [Vye] Thank you, so do you.

(Charles clearing throat)

- [Azalea] Thanks for the flowers.

Come on in and see what Charles has done.

- [Vye] Hey, Charles.

- [Charles] Hello.

How are you? - Charles.

- Your room looks wonderful.

- [Charles] Thanks.

- This room is the living room.

My room has become the bedroom.

- So what's this new creation you've written to us about?

- Charles has been working endlessly on a secret project.

- [Vye] Where is it?

- He won't even let me see it.

- Where is it?

- Wait, not so fast.

Let's have a couple of drinks and relax a little.

Look, I got these snacks.

I got this ice bucket, it's just full of ice.

But unfortunately, I forgot to get any glasses,

so I hope you won't mind drinkin' from the bottle.

- So you're going to keep your new creation a surprise?

- [Charles] Only a little longer.

(Leroy coughs)

- Well, I have a surprise to share tonight also.

- Oh, what is it? This is too much.

- In due time.

- That's the trouble with men.

They're too good at keeping a secret, aren't they?

I must see what's behind this curtain.

- So that's where you're hiding it. Let's see.

- Yes, let's see it. I'm losing interest already.

- Okay, okay, but first, I have to prepare you all

with a little speech.

- Oh, great.

- In the beginning, people, and I think it only fair

to call our furry fanged ancestors people,

those monkey men of prehistoric times,

who spent their lives fighting for food, shelter,

and a chance to reproduce, those people lived wild,

governed only by the laws of instinct,

deep desires, necessary reactions,

often cruel, always direct.

Those instinctual laws are the very basis

of all human history.

More spare time as a result of our wonder brains

created more rational laws, ethical laws,

twisted religious laws, moral laws, courts, jails,

speeding tickets, terrible laws designed to crush us,

laws that had been warped through time and history,

made by a society that has forgotten, or worse yet,

denied its past, but all are inseparably rooted,

in that not-too-distant monkey boys,

our free-thinking ape cousin,

those furry claws grasping a tree branch

can still be found in these delicate painted fingernails.

This gorilla that lives inside of every poet is still there,

waiting for us to follow the only true laws,

the laws of instinct.

(sound of explosion)

- But they're blank.

- Exactly! You see?

They're universal laws, beyond written language.

They remain undefined until acted upon.

They are pure, untouched by intellect.

They represent our uncontrollable actions,

our potential desires.

- Let me see if I have this right.

You want us to throw out all of society's norms

and act like wild beasts?

- Yes, if that's the way you feel like acting,

but only if that's the way you feel.

I'm not suggesting we automatically

become thieves and murderers.

- Unless, of course, we feel like it.

- Yes, if that's where your instinct leads you.

- A symbol of our uncontrollable actions,

our potential desires, some good, some bad.

Charles, dear, I love what you've created, I really do.

It was well worth the wait.

- Well then, why don't you kiss my tablets?

(Azalea smooching loudly)

- I only hope that we are not too restrained

to free that gorilla living inside us.

- Well, this might help.

- What are they?

- Pies, moon pies.

(lively music)

- Leroy, I love you.

- I can never say no to a moon pie.

(lively music)

- [Leroy] Since 1917,

moon pies have been the marshmallow treat of choice.

We all enjoy their wholesome goodness.

(chuckles) But little is known

about their mystical properties.

♪ My love is like a moon and the moon is like a pie ♪

♪ Burnin' in its cellophane bag in the Southern sky ♪

♪ They come in different flavors ♪

♪ And they'll all get you high ♪

♪ My love is like a moon and the moon is like a pie ♪

♪ You got chocolate and vanilla ♪

♪ And old banana cream ♪ (Charles laughs)

♪ ♪ Take a bite and your eyes will shine ♪

♪ Just like the moonbeams ♪

♪ If you don't love them, darlin' ♪

♪ I'll sit right down and die ♪

♪ My love is like the moon and the moon is like a pie ♪

(Vye growling playfully)

(Charles laughing)

♪ My love is like the moon and the moon is like a pie ♪

♪ Your marshmallow kisses, sweet as a lullaby ♪

♪ I'm standin' in the dark, won't you be my firefly ♪

♪ My love is like the moon and the moon is like a pie ♪

♪ My love is like the moon and the moon is like a pie ♪

♪ Singin' pie, pie, moon, moon, pie, pie, moon, moon ♪

(indistinct singing)

(Vye laughing)

- I'm opening the front door,

and going outside.

(Charles and Vye laughing)

- [Leroy] You can't get there from here.

(Charles laughing)

(Vye laughing)

(Vye laughing)

- It's the longest day of the year.

(birds chirping)

From this point on, the days get shorter.

- Azalea, can you hear me?

- [Azalea] Yes.

- This is a talking flower.

Why don't you put it to your ear,

listen to what it has to say?

(cicadas chirping)

(Charles laughing)

- Choose between who, me and Vye?

- Yes, but it's difficult.

It's like choosing between a diamond and an emerald.

- Yes, flower, I can see it would be hard to choose

between two such precious jewels.

- But Leroy's made a decision, and he chooses-

- (gasps) Stop! I don't wanna know.

- But he chooses you.

- Oh, what a surprise.

But hasn't he forgotten one important thing?

His best friend, Charles?

(Vye moaning softly)

- You don't really love him.

- Flower, tell Leroy there was a time

when I gladly would have given up everything

for his true love, but that's over now.

- Wait. Azalea, wait!

- You had your chance.

(cicadas chirping) (birds chirping)

(Vye laughing softly)

(soft moaning and quiet laughter)

- [Leroy] I gotta get outta this goddamn town.

It's startin' to turn on me.

- Leroy, I'm glad you're back.

Charles here was just demonstrating more about his laws.

- Yeah, some demonstration.

- Yes, my laws have set us free.

- What's the matter, Leroy? Having trouble being free?

- As a gift, you are unappreciated,

as a symbol of our friendship,

well, Charles, I'd hoped the summer

would bring us closer together,

but it seems I'm losing you.

- Look at him.

He's playing with that silly wax figure, Petie Ponte!

- So that's Petie Ponte? (laughs)

- Petie, Petie, Petie, Petie-

- [Vye and Azalea] Petie, Petie Pontie, Pontie.

- I feel like a king. I've got wine, women.

- The only thing missing is a song! Sing, Leroy, sing!

Petie.

- [Vye and Azalea] Petie, Petie, Petie, Petie, Petie.

(all laughing)

- Shut up.

- What? Every king has his fool.

Every fool can sing.

Come here, let me kiss you and make it all better.

- No, thanks, I don't wanna get warts.

- Well, if the fool won't entertain us, then the king will.

I've yet another surprise for all of you.

I'll be right back.

(cicadas chirping)

- [Leroy] Let's get outta here.

I've had enough of this.

- How come she can kiss you and I can't?

- I told you not to do that. You're a slobbering mess.

- Funny, that's not what you felt earlier.

Did you know that, Vye?

Leroy's in love with me.

Funny, you're in love with me too.

Everybody's in love with me.

- Come on, let's get outta here.

- [Vye and Azalea] Wow!

(tense pensive music)

(fencing foil swishing)

- I didn't know that you fenced.

- There are a great many things about me you don't know.

- I guess so.

(fencing foil swishing)

- I'm not into sports, but I think fencing is sexy.

- Don't wave that extension of your dick in my face.

- Come on, don't you have a sense of humor?

- Stop it, you asshole.

- Why do you always have to be so offensive?

- Just following my instinct.

- [Charles] Just obeying my laws.

- No, I'm doing what I wanna do.

Unlike you, I don't need a set of laws to hide behind.

- Well, it sure looks like the laws of instinct

have worked out well for me.

Matter of fact, I think I'll carve another set.

- The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the state.

(tense music)

(tablets clattering)

- I can't believe you've done this!

Everything that's important to me, you destroy it!

I've had enough!

(fencing foil swishing)

- Ow! (groans)

(Charles laughs)

(tense music)

- You arrogant bastard!

You've cut me!

- [Charles] You deserve it.

(dramatic tense music)

(fencing foil swishing)

(metallic clanging)

- I wanna help Leroy.

(dramatic tense music)

(fencing foils clanging)

(Azalea laughing maniacally)

- [Leroy] Get back!

(dramatic tense music) (fencing foils clanging)

(Azalea clapping)

- I've had enough of livin' in your shadow.

- What are you talking about?

- I always looked up to you,

but now I see you for what you really are,

a sarcastic domineering coward who thinks he knows best

for everybody, and can push everyone around.

I came here to make a new start, and all you did was laugh

and destroy my efforts.

And what have you done? Nothing!

I'm no wax doll you can dangle on a string.

Now get outta my house before I run you through.

(tense pensive music)

- [Vye] I feel dizzy.

(tense pensive music)

- Goddamn, son of a bitch!

I can't believe he did this.

(crickets chirping)

I brought him back.

- [Vye] Here, take off your shirt.

(crickets chirping)

- [Leroy] Ow!

- [Vye] Slowly!

- [Leroy] Ow!

Oh, God!

(cicadas chirping)

It's bloody, but I'm okay.

Charles and Azalea are evil, disgusting idiots.

I hate them.

- Are you mad at me?

- No. I'm mad at everything.

We gotta get outta here, get out of this town.

We've done so much for Charles.

Isn't it ridiculous?

A little while ago, he was hiding in his room,

under tear-soaked blankets, quivering like a scared mouse.

Now I'm sitting here bleeding, he thinks he's the king.

- He's stupid.

- Why were you kissing him, you bitch?

- I'm sorry!

- You stupid bitch, why?

- Are you gonna keep on until you make me cry?

You shit, we were just having a good time!

- If you cared enough to look at me,

you would have seen that I wasn't having a good time!

- I'm sorry, I hurt you.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

- Now that I've made you cry, I feel better.

I don't really blame you.

I blame that witch and Charles, mostly that witch, Azalea.

She's a witch, and I mean a real one.

She put a spell on us.

(crickets chirping)

Remember?

Remember that night, the first night in their house,

when you went to sleep on the wardrobe?

- Yes?

(ominous music)

- She hypnotized you.

She wanted to go for a walk, and I wanted you to come,

but you were asleep up there.

We took a walk, and she tried to seduce me.

- That bitch!

- He stabbed me. Do you believe it?

After all we've done for him, our best friend stabs me.

He's a fool to be with that woman.

He's so easily influenced.

- We all fell for her.

(crickets chirping) (soft tense music)

(Vye sniffling)

They deserve each other.

For what they have done, they deserve each other.

(crickets chirping) (soft tense music)

- My God, it's Charles and Azalea.

(crickets chirping) (tense music)

(cicadas chirping loudly)

(exoskeleton cracking)

- I've threaded this needle with a piece of Azalea's hair.

Now I'm going to hold them,

and I want you to run it through.

(ominous music)

(loud popping) Ow!

(screeching tense music) (cicadas chirping)

(blood dripping)

(tense droning music)

(door creaking)

(lock clicks)

(eerie creaking)

- Lie back down. Stay close to me.

(cicadas chirping loudly)

(eerie creaking)

(exoskeleton cracking)

(tense music builds)

(Vye groaning)

(clock chiming)

(flesh squelching)

(Azalea laughing)

(eerie moaning)

(muffled screaming)

(water splashing)

(water babbling)

(water splashing)

(birds chirping)

- Where were you?

Do you hear that sound?

That sound again from the closet,

the sound of those terrible dolls crying.

That's what woke me up.

We must get those dolls out of the house.

But what can we do, just throw them away?

- I was thinkin' about that today.

I'm gonna drown those dreadful dolls in the river.

(cicadas chirping)

This is the place where I met Charles for the first time.

It's the first place I got drunk.

That was years and years ago.

A few yards up that grassy hill,

I saw a snake, built a fire,

collected four-leaf clovers.

Just the other day, underneath that street lamp,

I saw a praying mantis devour a baby bird.

Now, here we are tonight.

I wonder just how much significance

a tiny patch of land can endure.

(cicadas chirping)

- The rock will hold them down to the bottom of the river,

until they rot.

(cicadas chirping)

(fire crackling)

(eerie crying)

(water splashing)

Now they will be together forever,

eating each other's souls away. (echoing)

(mysterious pensive music) (cicadas chirping)

(water sloshing gently)

(Azalea moaning softly)

- I'd like to leave this house.

I'd like to pack my bags and go.

(crickets chirping)

But I can't.

I love you, Charles.

I love you, Charles.

I love you.

(mysterious pensive music) (cicadas chirping)

(bird squawking)

(wind blowing)

(wind chime tinkling)

(cicada buzzing loudly)

(cicada buzzing, stopping abruptly)

(telephone ringing)

- [Leroy] Hello?

Yeah, she just stepped out.

Okay.

Okay, great!

Great, okay, I'll let her know.

Yeah.

Au revoir.

- The cicadas are dying. It's the end of the summer.

- We're going. I just got off the phone with Paris.

Congratulations, your work has been accepted.

It's for sure, we're going.
