Remember, if you guys haven't returned your textbook by 5:00 today,

you'll be fined.

If you leave anything in your locker, it's gonna be thrown out at the end of the day.

Questions?

No questions! Anybody have any questions?

- No. - What happens to stuff we leave in our locker?

Don't tell hi.

Have a good summer!

Yay! All right, we're out!

Yeah!

Whoo!

Where we gonna go, man?

Hey, Dewey, wait up!

- Are you coming? - Yeah!

- All right! - Hey, wait for me!

You're going too fast!

How'd you do on your report card?

Hey! Erika.

How's your new boyfriend next door?

He's not next door, he's behind me; I ain't never even seen him.

- "I ain't never even seen him." - Who are your neighbors then?

Gomer Pyle and his brother Goober?

Eat shit. What was that?

Hey, come back here, faggot!

Hey, I said come back here!

Don't leave without me!

Hey! Oh, I'm gonna get you!

Who's there?

Are you asking me?

Are you spyin' on me?

No, I'm working on my mud fort. What are you doin'?

Plantin' vegetables.

Hey, thanks for movin' in here.

Now the kids at school call me "faggot" and walk on the other side of the hall.

I have to live somewhere.

Well, why don't you go inside until I get doe workin' on my garden. Why?

So I don't hafta worry about catchin' somethin' and dyin'.

It can't be transmit through the air.

Yeah, well, just to be on the safe side,

I think you should go inside.

But I'm workin' on my mud fort.

Hey!

What would you do if I come over there and whupped your ass?

How long would that take?

About ten seconds.

I'd wait 'til you were finished, then I'd continue workin' on my mud fort.

You mean you'd just let me beat you up?

I'd try to stop you, but I probably wouldn't be able to; I'm not very big.

Well, in that case it'd only take five seconds.

So, is that what you're gonna do?

Maybe later.

Hello?

You still there?

Aah!

Shit.

You son of a bitch.

I warned you what would happen if you got all dirty again.

I got you!

Aah! Quit!

Oh, no! "Oh, no!"

Oh, no! Now he has her down!

Ohh! One, two, three! The winner!

All right, let's see what you can do! All right!

Okay, I'll hit the ball! Get him!

There's some boys outside playing baseball.

If you were to make the effort... Mom!

To get to know them, it'd be very nice.

I'm gonna go out with some girls from the office tonight,

so put yourself a dinner in the microwave.

Have you thought any more about Colorado? I'm not goin' to camp.

- If you just gave it a chance, you'd meet some nice friends. - Why can't I go see Dad?

Well, call him.

If he says yes, I'll put you on the next plane.

Go ahead.

You know, you and his little friend Cindy...

Could go to the movies and get in for half price. She's 23, Mom.

Oh, amazing.

- Old enough to drink. - Yeah, but she doesn't.

Man, I was on world eight!

It's not good to spend too much time with these games.

I wasn't watching it; I was playing it.

Bitch.

Hot!

I have nothing against going fishing, but I am not touching the worms.

I'll take care of the worms. Yeah, let's see about that.

Hey... Ah-ah! Good night.

Got you first.

They ended up giving me two pints of blood.

That's a lot for a baby. My grandmother says you're goin' to hell.

She says you'll suffer eternal torture...

from a billion flames hotter than the center of the sun.

Well, then, she must be some kind of genius. What?

Well, my doctor's really smart,

and he says he has no idea what happens to people after they die.

- If your grandmother knows, she must be a genius. - She's a clerk at K-Mart.

Well, maybe she's just an underachiever. No.

She's an idiot.

So maybe I won't go to hell after all.

Are you sure those germs of yours don't travel through the air?

Yeah. Why?

How old are you?

Eleven. Jesus, you're a midget.

Well, if you look at the lower limit of what's considered normal for my age,

I'm only four inches shorter.

Oh.

So...

You know how to play "Battleship"?

G-9.

Miss.

Damn!

Are you sure?

Yep.

D-7.

Miss.

Have to eat my lunch now. Why don't you just eat whenever you're hungry?

'Cause if I only ate when I was hungry, I wouldn't be here.

Do you wanna go to Peterson's?

What's that? It's a supermarket.

Food.

You got any money?

In my bedroom.

- What should we do with him? - You wanna burn 'im?

Whoa!

Where'd you get it all? Allowance.

And fines.

Fines? It's a little hard to explain.

This is great.

Since I know where the store is,

I'll be the navigator, you be the treasurer. What's the treasurer do?

Carries the money and pays for things.

I'm supposed to pay for both of us? I'm navigatin' for both of us.

You want it to be fair, don't ya? How far is Peterson's?

Why?

If I walk too far, I get kinda tired.

Seems to me the depth of the water would be the key.

In the middle of the ocean the shark would win, and on dry land the lion would win.

How much water are we talkin' about? Two and a half feet.

And how big is the shark? Eleven feet.

I still say that the lion would win. Wrong!

How can you be sure? They did research on it at Stanford University.

The shark won easily.

They just let two animals kill each other at a college? No, you idiot.

They had 'em fight long enough to see who'd win,

then their trainers pulled them apart. How?

You ever heard of a leash? Never heard of a shark with a leash.

Well, there's a lot of things you've never heard of.

I guess that's true. Hold on.

My mom says that every drop of water that lands here...

eventually ends up in the Mississippi.

That means it goes to my dad. He's still in New Orleans.

What does he do?

You ever heard of a rock group called Led Zeppelin?

No. Well, they're really famous.

You know who the guitar player is? Your dad?

No. A guy named Jimmy Page.

My dad... sold him his car insurance.

For a Pontiac Trans Am.

You know what you're gonna get?

I don't know; it's been a long time since I've had any candy.

My mom has me eatin' lots of vegetables. You gotta try this.

Come here.

Are we allowed to do this?

Of course. How else you supposed to know what you're gonna get?

Hmm. Wow!

Mmm. Not bad, huh?

Well, get out your money.

Hey, get out of the road! Go on, now!

Asshole.

Three degrees to the right... and fire.

Oh. You missed!

Hey, how much did you pay for that faggot?

Hey! You guys took a wrong turn.

This is a no-homo zone.

I ain't a homo, and neither is he.

He got it from a blood transfusion.

Well, then what's that awful smell?

We was walkin' across the grass and we accidentally stepped in your mother.

What'd you say?

Can't hit us all with that.

I'll only be aimin' at you.

- Come on, then. - Hey, what about your little brother, huh?

What about him?

When he fell off the jungle gym at school, they had to take him to the hospital.

He coulda caught somethin' then. Yeah, but he didn't.

But he could've.

Then everybody'd be callin' him "faggot" and "queer."

Then he'd get sick and die,

and they'd write "homo" on his headstone.

When your mother went to bring him flowers, she'd see little Eddie Horner Homo.

And the worst part would be,

probably before he died a bunch of assholes like you who ain't sick...

thought it might be fun to beat the shit out of 'im.

Come on, man, let's beat it.

I'm sorry you're sick.

Thanks.

Now, that sounds funny to me.

Ohh! Aah!

- What'd you do that for? - Aah! Get him!

Get him!

You got him!

So long, faggots!

You got brains the size of boogers, you homo queer bastards!

Don't you think we should slow down?

How? Any way would be fine!

Hey! Ma'am, get out of the way!

- Hey, move it! - Move your ass!

Oh, God! Oh, no!

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Oh, God. Go!

- Hey, stop! Whoa! - Go!

Ohh! Whoa!

Hey, you kids!

Say they think I'm a faggot.

I'm yellin' the same stuff at them.

They know I'm not a faggot, 'cause a faggot wouldn't yell "faggot" back.

That's why you should've yelled "faggot" too.

I just wouldn't feel right saying that. Why the hell not?

They were nice to me at the hospital.

They played games with me... You played games with homos?

Let's talk about somethin' else.

Sometimes I don't know about you.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, nothin'.

Uh, do you wanna play Nintendo?

No. I'm gettin' kinda tired.

I think I should go take a nap. Well, uh...

We should work on the mud fort tomorrow. You want to?

Okay.

Leave it.

Why can't I eat in the living room?

I don't get home for dinner that often. When I do, I want us to eat together.

That's part of being a family, isn't it?

You know, some women saw that little AIDS boy down at Peterson's yesterday.

It's in the newspaper? No.

Jan told me.

I've seen him in the backyard,

but I didn't know he left the house.

The other day I heard him coughin'.

Hmm?

- I said I heard him coughin'. - Well, I don't think you have to worry about anything.

With that fence there, you're not gonna catch anything.

What if he wants to come over and play?

Oh, Erik, think of some excuse.

You're so good at that.

What if I bump into him out on the street? It's common sense.

You just keep a safe distance.

What's a safe distance?

Seven feet.

Guess that rules out sleepovers.

My mom wants you to come to dinner.

Well, mine's workin' late,

so... it's cool.

Well, then there's somethin' that I have to warn you about. What?

She likes to call me "sweetie."

"Sweetie"?

You gotta promise not to laugh.

- You want some more carrots, sweetie? - No, thanks.

Are we ready for dessert, then?

I'll try a little. Yeah, I bet.

You didn't even finish your meat loaf, "love muffins."

Will you shut up! She'll hear you!

She's not gonna hear me, sweetheart. Be quiet.

Don't worry about it, sweetie.

Here you go.

Dexter tells me you have a girlfriend.

Yeah, well, I did, but I had to dump her.

Spend, spend, spend.

His father has a girlfriend named Cindy.

As soon as they get settled in their new apartment, I may be goin' down there.

- How does your mom feel about this? - Um...

Actually, we haven't really talked it out much...

Mm-hmm. Yet.

Well, I'd love to meet her.

She works quite a bit.

Twenty, twenty-two hours a day.

What does she do?

Uh, real estate.

At night she works at the mini-mart, the one downtown.

Twenty-five cents!

I gotcha! Damn.

I catch her twirling her hair,

she has to pay me a quarter.

Twenty-five cents, yes.

Uh, are you gonna finish that?

Oh, um...

Uh, well, the doctors say it's completely safe, Erik,

but when it comes to other people's children, we've decided,

um...

not to take any chances.

Forgot.

I've got a plan.

Just as soon as they find the cure,

we're headin' to Baskin-Robbins and orderin' one of them monster sundaes...

where everybody just digs right in.

That's a good plan.

Excuse me.

What is it?

She's afraid that they might not find a cure in time.

Banzai!

Oh, my God!

He's afraid of heights. Oh.

Hey, what if they don't find a cure?

I'm sure they will eventually.

Well, what if they're lookin' in the wrong place?

What do you mean?

Well, have you ever seen that movie Medicine Man?

You found the cure for cancer,

and all you can say is, "I know"?

What is it?

Bromeliad. A flower.

You want me to start eating flowers? Shh!

I came here six years ago.

Why? A freak tribe. No cancer. No tellin' where it might be.

Flowers and leaves. Maybe even pinecones.

It can't hurt to try.

My mom has me eatin' lots of vegetables, especially broccoli.

All I ever eat is candy and I never get sick.

Hey, that's it.

Somebody gets sick and all they eat is fruits and vegetables.

What's the one thing they stop eatin'?

This is stupid.

About 50 years ago a doctor noticed some mold was growin' on his bread.

He started feedin' it to people.

Everybody said, "This is stupid."

Know what it turned out to be?

Aspirin.

It's still 100.2.

How you feelin'? Okay.

Okay.

Let's try Butterfinger...

combined with... Bubblicious.

I'm not so sure I understand why you have to try all this stuff too.

Don't you know anything about scientific method? A little.

You have to have a control group so you can see if the results are uniform.

You're the control group? Yep.

Oh, God.

Hello there.

Is Dexter here?

Yes, he is, but he's grounded. Why?

Because he used up all his money buying candy.

Oh. Mmm.

Okay.

How long is he grounded for?

'Til tomorrow.

Okay.

What's that?

Uh, we were gonna play submarine.

Well, grounded is grounded, so you're gonna have to wait until tomorrow.

I understand.

Just a minute, okay?

Dexter, get your ass down here! Why?

'Cause I'm changing your punishment. You have to play with Erik.

Thanks, Mom. "Thanks, Mom."

Grab the sacrificial paddle. Watch the flowers!

How ya feelin'?

Terrible.

Told you candy was a stupid idea.

Hey, what do you think of this one?

I've been wondering about something.

Where do bugs go to the bathroom?

It's not on leaves.

How can you be sure? Because bugs eat leaves.

Not even bugs are stupid enough to shit on their own food.

So, what do ya say?

Go ahead.

Mmm. Ohh!

Tastes like crap.

No shit. Don't you know where bugs go to the bathroom?

Sweetened crap.

It's too weird.

You can't be afraid to try it.

I'm afraid to touch it.

How do you feel? Okay.

She's here!

Dexter?

What are you doin' up there?

Hmm. Get down.

Ohh! Jesus!

Shit!

Ya got me. Okay.

Dexter!

Is your friend Erik staying for dinner again?

- "- Waka"! - That means "yes," white woman.

Okay.

Thanks, Allie.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...

Shh!

Ow. Settle down.

Go get some yogurt.

"Waka"!

Okay!

You guys are very wound-up today.

"Errpp"!

Dexter take his nap?

"Ooh-koo."

Okay, come on, sweetie.

- Okay? - It's okay. Come on.

One, two, three, up. Yeah.

Sorry.

Good night.

I need to take Dexter to the doctor tomorrow.

We should be back around 1:00. Okay.

Good night. Good night.

Shit. Notebook.

Where have you been?

I thought you weren't comin'...

I asked you a question.

Uh, Gordy Johnson asked me if I wanted to go to the mall with him,

and I didn't think you'd mind.

Is, um, is that that doctor's boy?

Yeah.

Well...

you really... you should've left a note...

for me.

Mmm.

Maybe Gordon would like to go with us to see the fireworks.

Maybe.

Need two more pennies. Here's one.

Two.

Three... No, that's a dime, isn't it? Oh, dear.

There. Oh, thank you very much.

Erik! What?

Yeah?

Oh, my God.

"The mysterious Dr. Fishburn...

"derives the extract from a plant found deep in the Louisiana bayou...

at a backwater location he refuses to reveal."

I knew it was a plant. The government is trying to suppress his findings.

Those bastards. Why would they do that?

Because they're embarrassed.

Think of all the money they spend each year,

and this Dr. Fishburn guy goes out in his backyard in his underwear one morning...

and picks up the cure for AIDS.

Hey, maybe your mom could drive us down there.

It's right here.

Look, I don't want you boys thinking that something like this cannot happen.

If it does, Dr. Jensen is gonna know about it before the National...

Examiner. Examiner.

Why don't we call him?

No!

Wait 'til your next appointment and you can ask him then.

This is for after lunch.

Like I didn't see that?

You say your dad lives in New Orleans, right?

Yeah.

Maybe he can get some of that secret extract and mail it to us.

Maybe it's already here.

That one again?

Yep. I just don't like it.

If that don't look like a plant from the bayou, then I don't know bayous.

Ohh! This is the worst yet.

My grandma says...

the worse it tastes, the better it works.

Your K-Mart clerk grandma?

Drink.

I need to t-talk to Erik. There's some ki-ki-kind of leaf that he took...

Erik has something to do with this? Erik... has...

- Erik. Erik. - What... Leaves?

I need to know what you gave Dexter today,

what kind of leaf you gave him.

It's poisonous; he told me you have it written down in a notebook.

Here's the one... It says "down by the river."

Where? Where the bridge crosses.

You got it? Yeah.

Back inside.

What... were you thinking?

What? Tell me!

Tell me! Huh?

Not measles, not chicken pox. AIDS.

What are you tryin' to do? What are you tryin' to do, fuckin' kill us both?

There's gonna be some big changes around here.

Big changes.

Well, I don't really care what you think.

I don't want him over here. I don't want my son over there.

I don't care that they're friends.

I don't want them associating with each other, period.

Well, he's gonna be fine, thank God.

But his mother's officially on notice.

If she allows him to see you, I'm gonna have her ass thrown in jail.

As for you,

come Monday morning your ass is goin' to summer camp.

Hi there! Hey, Dad?

Sorry we missed you, but Cindy and I are in Lake Charles 'til Tuesday.

Call you as soon as we get back.

But when we get down there, where are we gonna sleep?

- What are we gonna eat? - We don't gotta worry about that.

I already talked to my dad. He said we could stay with him.

I might even be able to talk him into takin' us fishing.

I can't.

You have to, Dex. Tomorrow morning I'm out of here.

She would be really, really worried.

She's already worried because you're sick.

And you and I both know that the only thing that's gonna make her happy...

is when we go to New Orleans and Dr. Fishburn has the cure.

Dear Mom, I've gone with Erik.

But I brought along my medicine, so there's no reason to worry.

We plan to be careful and sensible.

Whatever you do, make sure you remember to tape Star Wars, 8 p.m., channel 5.

I love you very much. Sincerely, Dexter.

He's the biggest fish in the world.

He weighs over two thousand pounds.

That's why they call him the sturgeon general.

What if he decides to tip us over?

He wouldn't do that.

One time this kid, he went swimmin' after eating,

and he got a stomach cramp and he started to drown,

but the sturgeon general grabbed 'im by the shirt and put 'im on the shore.

How fast do you think we're goin'?

About three miles an hour.

How far is it to New Orleans?

About 1,200 miles.

How long will it take us to get there?

- Come on, right here! - All right.

- Hey, where ya headed? - Afta.

- Minneapolis. - Memphis.

- Centralia. - Peoria.

- How much you got? - What?

You wanna ride, you gotta pay for the gas.

Where you headed? New Orleans.

I can give you 20 dollars.

Twenty bucks? You wanna go to New Orleans for 20 bucks?

I think you're gonna have to do better than that.

Forty. It's all I got.

Pony, we're ready to float. Sure thing, cousin. We locked and loaded?

Yep. All right.

All right.

A hundred and sixty-two dollars.

Check my pockets.

- Erik! Erik! - Shut up, Dex.

Erik, just look. Look! Let me handle this.

What do you say?

Man, we really took this moron Pony to the cleaners.

The money we gave him won't pay for half his gas.

This boat is from New Orleans; he's on his way home.

Now, what makes you think that?

Shit!

Look how far we've gone.

Dex.

You awake?

Dex, you awake?

- Dex! You awake? - What?

I was just sayin'...

how far we've gone.

About five or six days, we'll be down there.

- Maybe when we stop for gas I should call my mom. - You can't.

They'll trace the call.

We'll probably be in Iowa by 1:00 tomorrow afternoon.

Dex?

♪

Get up!

- Why? - Come on, get up! Get up!

I'm too tired. No, you're not. You're just bored. Come on!

They don't have Battleship.

They don't have Monopoly.

They don't even have a deck of cards.

Wait a minute.

What is it?

Come on.

Are you sure these girls are real? Of course they're real.

I've never seen anyone that looked like this before. My mom sure doesn't.

These aren't moms, these are women.

They're supposed to look like this.

How do you know they're not computer animations?

Do computer animations like walks on the beach?

Do computer animations enjoy classical music?

She was born in 1975.

She doesn't look that old. Mmm.

Holy shit.

There's gotta be 300 dollars here!

We should put it back. Why?

What if they come in here and think we're tryin' to steal it?

They don't even know we're down here.

Throw the bumpers, man. Hey, what you doin'?

Wake up!

Just take it. Don't give it to me!

Where the hell you been?

I been waitin' all day!

Slowly but surely, baby, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Hop aboard! - Hey, baby, you comin'?

Here, take this.

Oh, my God.-

There you go.

- Hey, who the hell's this? - A friend of mine.

- You ain't got no friends. - Be nice!

I really think...

that we should just get off somewhere and hang out.

Yeah, call 'em later, if they're around.

Can you put some of this on my back?

Are you a model?

No.

What's your name?

Angel.

You misspelled your tattoo.

It doesn't say "Angel," it says "angle."

Uh, I'm aware of that now.

What?

It looks funner with two people, doesn't it?

You guys, the water's warm!

Ah, you two make me sick.

What y'all feel like doin'?

I just wanna get smashed, you know, relax. Relax? That ain't like you.

I was thinkin' we could laisser le bon temps rouler right here, you know?

Let the good times roll, my man. I'm down with that, cousin.

A couple cool ones, fire up that grill. We got some steaks.

Make mine a T-bone.

This sucks.

Bring me that watermelon!

Hey, boys, how're them T-bones?

She goin' in!

Whoo-hoo! Go!

Yeah!

You guys are dead!

- We're dead? You're the one in the water! - Damn it!

- This isn't fair! - What?

I said, this sucks!

"This sucks!" "Gross, man!"

We should set up the tent before it gets dark.

Hey.

It's just me.

Aw, shit. You pissed all over your sleeping bag.

It's sweat.

Sweat?

But you're shiverin'. How can you sweat when you're cold?

I don't know. I just do.

Well, here. You need to change clothes.

You can use my sleeping bag.

Thanks. There you go.

So, were you havin' a nightmare or somethin'?

No.

What's the matter?

It happens sometimes when I wake up and it's dark.

Astronomers believe that the universe is 18 billion light-years across.

So?

Suppose you kept going another 18 billion light-years?

What if there's nothing out there?

Suppose you kept going another trillion times further?

So far out you see nothing.

Since the light from the universe would be fainter than the faintest star.

Infinitely cold. Infinitely black.

Sometimes, if I wake up,

and it's dark,

I get really scared.

Like I'm out there.

And I'm never coming back.

Here.

Hold onto this while you sleep.

And if you wake up and you're scared,

you'll say, wait a minute, I'm holding Erik's shoe.

Why the hell would I be holding some smelly basketball shoe...

a trillion light-years from the universe?

I must be here on Earth safe in my sleeping bag...

and Erik must be close by.

Guess it's worth a try.

Want me to leave the lantern on?

Come on! We gotta get outta here! Go to sleep!

It's 9:00! When I gave you the money, you said we're going straight to New Orleans!

So you get there a couple of days later. It's not gonna kill ya!

- Shut up, Angle! - Hey! You shut up, you little shit!

You want me to swim over there and pound your ass?

How long before you run out of pills?

Three more days.

There. That away.

You sure? I'm not stupid.

Milwaukee bus 13, leaving from door 2.

Leaving from door 2. All aboard, please.

Let's get something to eat. I'm not hungry.

Okay, I'll go get the tickets.

This is the only station?

What? Let's go.

What is it? Let's go.

Are those the boys you're looking for right there?

Hey, thanks.

How ya doin', man?

Oh, boys! I think we need to have a little talk!

Help!

Come on, boys! Somethin' I said? Huh?

Was it the barbecue?

Go! Go!

- Pull! - Got you!

Pull! Damn you!

Hey! Where's my money? Huh?

It's in my pocket. Come on.

Open this, man! I'm workin' on it.

Oh, shit!

You're gonna cut yourself if you go over there. I don't care!

Aw! Damn it! Told ya!

Son of a bitch!

This way, come on.

Stay back.

Looks like a dead end.

Hmm? What are you gonna do with that?

You gonna give me a manicure or somethin'?

Where's my money?

Huh? We needed to go to New Orleans.

Oh, you need it, huh?

Y'all are in over your heads, ya understand?

All right. So you wanna play with Pony?

What the hell are you doin'? Are you crazy?

If I'm dyin' anyway, it doesn't matter if he hurts me.

What are you talkin' about? What's he talkin' about? He has AIDS!

You'd be crazy to stab me.

My blood is like poison.

One drop could kill you.

Bullshit.

Hey, Pony!

Jimmy!

Jimmy! Get out, man! Get the hell out!

Get the hell outta here!

You freak! Ya-hoo!

Let him go!

My blood is like poison. Pussies!

Forget it, man. He's crazy!

Deadlier than the venom of a cobra.

Pussy!

Dex, man, you're like a damn superhero or somethin'.

That was rad.

Here.

No!

No.

I'm feelin' kind of sick.

You gonna be all right while I go get the tickets? Yeah.

You cold? No.

What's the matter?

My blood is poison.

You have a virus, Dex.

You're gonna be exactly like everyone else...

the moment someone finds the cure.

Dr. Fishburn has the cure.

Wake up.

Are we in New Orleans?

Come on.

What are we...

Come here.

Mom.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm wondering if I can see Dexter.

I'm lucky I keep throwing up.

Mostly they have to stick this feeding tube up my nose into my stomach.

Huh? Sounds gross. It hurts.

Doesn't that? Not nearly as much.

So you can't eat anything, huh? Not right now.

Well, that's, uh... That's too bad.

Hey, maybe you can crumble one up and put it into my I.V.

Yeah. Yeah.

You know what? I'm gonna see if I can't sneak any more leaves in here.

That's okay. Dr. Jensen said that stuff in New Orleans wasn't real.

I know. Your mom told me.

Hey. Look at this.

Look at that.

Is this you? Yeah.

God, you were an ugly baby.

Check it out. It's Angle. Ha!

You all right?

I like the old man.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

What this do? This one makes the bed go up...

or down.

What about this one?

He's doin' great.

What room is that in? I'll get it.

Come here. He stopped...

What? He stopped breathin'.

What's the matter? He stopped breathin'.

I got it.

I was just talkin' to him and he stopped... He's dead.

No.

I'm sorry, honey. I guess we all knew this was coming.

No. No.

- Aaah! - Aaah!

It's not funny. Not even a little bit.

Kids.

"Guess we all knew this was coming."

By the power invested in me...

I hereby order that the execution begin.

Dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum,

dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum,

dum-dum... Well, feelin' better, I guess.

And, uh, you must be Erik.

Yeah.

So, uh, I guess your road to the Nobel Prize hit a few potholes?

More like the Grand Canyon.

Okay, let's open wide and say "ahh."

Ah...

Does that hurt when you talk?

Well, let's see that hairy chest.

- I got it. - He knows he's dyin'.

What?

We tricked the nurses into thinkin' that he was dead.

And Nurse Murphy said that everyone knew it was coming.

So you tricked 'em? Well, we pretended that Dexter stopped breathin'.

He jumped up and screamed and scared 'em.

She must have hit the roof.

- Yeah, Dexter laughed his ass off. - That's what happened to it.

I thought he was just on a diet here.

Listen, uh...

History is full of very sick people,

who suddenly, for no reason at all, get better.

And when that happens, we call it a miracle.

From the moment I met you I knew you were special...

and that you might be one of those people.

Yeah.

You know I'm tellin' you the truth, don't you?

Mm-hmm. You can feel that inside you, can't you?

So don't let me down, okay?

I'm countin' on you to make me famous.

Yeah, I'll go get her.

So what did you say to 'em?

But the young boy was upset.

Don't you ever, ever assume that one of my patients is going to die.

I thought that...

♪

Mister, my, my friend, he stopped breathin'.

- A-And I think he's dead. - Go get a nurse.

Aaah! Oh! Shit! Shit!

Oh, my... Jesus Christ! Oh! Oh!

You scared the living daylights out of me.

Oh, and we are amused, are we? I'm not laughing.

You see me laughing?

Funny? Okay. Oh, Dex.

My shift ends at 4:00.

- Whose turn? - It's mine.

Here comes a high card. Nobody cry. Four!

I think you earned that, actually. I'm terribly impressed.

He gets all the good ones, and me, I...

Oh, an 11. I told you, I told you.

Oh, me? Oh, thank you. I'm good at this game. I can't win, but...

All right, HAL,

I'll go in through the emergency air lock.

Without your space helmet, Dave,

you're going to find that rather difficult.

HAL, I won't argue with you anymore. Open the doors!

Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore.

Good-bye.

HAL? Let me fix this.

Is this as good the 20th time around? Shh!

I ask ya. Hmm? Shh.

HAL? Want anything from the gift shop?

HAL! Hmm?

How about you?

You ready for another victim?

You sure? Okay, wait here.

Dr. Grant, please contact Dr. Nathan in Neonatal.

Dr. Grant, please contact Dr. Nathan in Neonatal.

One second.

Doctor, Doctor, my friend... I think he could be dead.

I don't know what to do.

Hurry.

I'm sorry.

Come on, here we go.

Don't get too far ahead.

It's... It's green.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry too.

I should have tried harder.

Tried what?

To find the cure.

Oh, honey. Come here, sweetie.

You did, you did.

Everything that was sick in Dexter's life,

that was sad and alone...

You made it go away.

Dexter was so happy to have you as his friend.

He was so happy.

I know that, uh,

there are some of his things that I think...

Get out!

Not a word. No.

Get in that car. No.

Get your ass in the car now! Wait a minute!

Let me talk to you. I have nothing to say to you.

Mom, it just... Erik, shut up.

Can I just talk to you for a minute inside?

Please?

Just a minute.

What?

What are you doing?

I want to tell you two things.

The first is, Erik's best friend died today...

and he is goin' to the funeral.

And the second is, if you ever lay a hand on that boy again,

I will kill you.

You understand?

Let's go.

You okay?

You take as much time as you want.

Hey.

Um, do you mind if I go ahead and walk home?

No, of course not.

You're gonna...

come around and visit every once in a while, aren't ya?

Twenty-five cents.
