Hey, Donny, watch your eyes, man.

(Metal clanks)

Yo, Ben! You coming to lunch or what?

Nah, I gotta take my kid to the doctor.

OK, I'll see you later.

(Screams)

(Alarm blaring)

(Continues screaming)

Hey, over here.

(Alarm continues blaring)

Stupid son of a bitch, what are you standing there for?

You hear me, you crazy bastard? Come over here and help us!

What's the matter with you?

Come on, leave him alone. Let's take care of Ben.

(Vito) Yeah, let's take care of Ben.

Give me your hand, Ben.

(Alarm fades)

Do you realize Ben nearly died because of you?

A man goes up in flames, and you stand there like a faggot.

I'm not a faggot.

- What? - I'm not a faggot.

It just covered... it covered him up.

He wasn't evil, but it covered him up.

What are you talking about? I covered Ben.

No, the... the cover of flame. The cover of the flame.

You know you're crazy. I always said you were crazy.

You stay away from me.

You think I was afraid?

You think I'm crazy?

- What are you talking about... - I would have helped him.

What are you talking about?

You're a sicko.

Hey, Donny. Donny, wait a minute.

Hey, let's go have a beer, man.

No, thanks, I... I gotta get home.

Oh, well, so do I, but let's go have a beer anyway. Come on.

- I can't, my mother's sick. - OK, but wait a minute. Now listen.

I don't want you to go home thinking that was your fault, man.

Because I mean, things can happen

and a guy can freeze in a situation like that, you know?

- Hey, that's right. - Yeah.

That's right. He's the one that's sick.

- He's the faggot, not me. - Hey, you're probably right about that.

You know that's the way those people are.

They call you names, and they're the crazy ones.

He's a light weight, don't worry about it.

But that's the way it happened. You're right, Bobby.

- Hey, I froze, I couldn't... - You know, speaking of freezing,

I'm gonna go find a nice warm bar stool. Why don't you come along, huh?

- Nah, I-I can't. - OK, all right.

Well, see you tomorrow night. OK?

OK. See you tomorrow.

Oh, you're already asleep.

Don't you want your tea? I made you tea.

Mother?

Mother? Are you all right?

Mother?

No. Wake up.

Mother. Wake up.

Please, wake up.

Please, wake up! Mother!

What am I gonna do now?

It's not.

She... she's gonna wake up.

She's just asleep.

She's gonna wake up soon.

It's my pleasure.

I oughta thank you for letting me get these flowers.

If it wasn't for me, you would have made your bus.

You know, you should get these in water as soon as you get home.

- Oh, yeah? - Mm-hmm.

I'll do that.

Are you in a big rush?

Well, yeah. I wanna get home.

Well, would you mind if I dropped these off at my house first?

It will only take a minute. It's not far from River Road.

All right.

My mother is already fixing dinner, and... I'm really late.

So, I'll just drop them off and I'll tell her I'll be right back.

No, no, it's all right.

(Donny) I'll only be a minute.

Hey, I-I forgot the package.

Could you hand me that?

Hey, why don't you come on in, and say hello to Mother?

Mother is even sicker than I thought.

I have to call a doctor and get him right over here.

You understand, I can't leave her in this condition.

As soon as you've finished, I'd like to call a cab.

Dr. Wells, this is Donald Kohler, it's Mother again.

She's worse than before, she can't get out of bed.

Could you come right over?

Yes.

Oh, would you?

Would you?

Thank you very much.

The doctor will be right over.

If you wait a couple of minutes I can give you a ride home.

Look, I know you have your hands full here,

I'd just like to call a cab, OK?

But if you wait a few minutes, the doctor...

You're a friend of that guy.

You tell him from me, if he isn't back here Monday, he's out of a job.

Give the guy a break. He's been sick, he's got problems.

- Sick? - Yeah.

If he's sick how come he doesn't answer the phone?

- Well, did his mother answer? - Nobody answered.

Well, maybe he's taking her to the doctor or something.

Look, I don't care if they took each other to the doctor.

He's been out a week now, and that's it.

Ben will be in the hospital for at least a month.

You just tell him what I said.

(Sighs)

(Engine sputters and stalls)

- (Vehicle approaching) - (Engine continues stalling)

Can't get it started?

It just stalled out on me. It won't do anything.

Could I give you a lift to the next gas station?

Oh, I would really appreciate that.

(Donny) You won't mind if I drop these things off at my house first?

- It's on the way. - (Woman) No, that's OK.

And when I tell you not to take something off a shelf, you better listen to me.

(Child crying)

Will that be all?

- Uh... and two packs of 120. - Mm-hmm.

(Cash register whirling, its bell rings)

- That's 4.99, out of 5. - Thank you.

There you go.

- Can I help you with that package? - No, thanks.

- Can I give you a ride home? - Uh...

My truck is right outside. Why don't you let me give you a ride home?

Will you please just get out of my way?

- Is there a problem here? - No, there's no problem. No problem.

I must have scared her, huh? I'm gonna go apologize.

Hey, Miss! Miss!

Mother, this is Linda.

I wanted you to meet her before I introduce her to the others.

(Phone rings)

- Hello. - Hey, Donny. It's Bobby.

- 'Oh. Hi, Bobby" - Hi. Hey, listen, man.

I got a message from Vito for you.

Now he says that if you don't show up to work

'on Monday you're out of a job.'

"Hey, Donny, did you hear what I said?

OK, listen, man, all I'm trying to do is help you out.

And all you're giving me is nothing, so have a nice life, huh?

Wait a minute, listen to me, Bobby.

Hey, I'm in a lot of trouble.

...I'm scared.'

What kind of trouble, what's the matter?

It's my mother, she's sick.

You know and...

I'm real worried. Bobby.

So you want me to come over? We can talk about it.

No, no. You can't come over right now.

Father Gerritty is gonna come over...

cos my mother's sick, and she hasn't been able to get to church.

Now wait a minute, Gerritty?

Now what's that old witch doctor gonna do for her?

Well, he knows what to do. He knows.

'OK, OK"

But now listen, give me a call if you need anything, OK?

"And hey, Donny, I really hope that you get to work on Monday, man.'

Listen, Bobby, thanks for calling me.

I think you're the only friend I have out there.

It's all right. I'll see you, man.

(Mrs. Kohler) Trash.

Trash. Trash! Just like your father.

No!

(Mrs. Kohler) Oh, yes, he got away. But you won't.

You'll pay. You'll suffer.

(Donny) No.

You'll have to suffer now.

(Whispering voices) 'She's evil. She can't hurt you now.

'We'll help you punish her. We'll help you.'

That's right.

I have my friends with me.

If she doesn't stop I, I'll punish her again.

You hear that, old lady?

I'll punish you again.

Do you hear me? Did you hear what I said?

Don't you ever talk to me like that!

That's better.

Don't make me do anything bad, Mother.

(Women laughing and giggling)

You laughing at me?

You think I'm crazy for talking to my mother like that?

You don't know what she did.

You weren't here.

Nobody was here.

I spent my whole life in this house.

With her.

I was five when my father left me.

She hated him.

So she hated me.

He was too big to push around.

He was a big man.

Much bigger than me.

But he took a lot of abuse from her.

See this?

He needed it, you know?

Used to hide it.

I have it now.

And I still hide it.

Out of respect for him.

(Pours drink)

You laugh.

What do you know?

She used to say I was the reason things weren't working out.

When my father was here, he used to protect me.

When he left, I had no one.

She made everyday of my life a nightmare.

Sometimes I wake up, in the middle of the night.

She'd be standing over me, screaming.

Screaming like a mad woman.

You understand?

Hey?

You're not listening to me.

You're not paying attention to a word I'm saying.

You're all bitches.

Selfish and vain.

Except you.

The new one.

You're different.

You try to be nice.

You try to listen to me.

(Giggling)

Don't you dare laugh at me.

(Smack)

I won't stand for impudence.

From any of you.

That's the trouble.

I've taken too much crap in my life.

That's all changed now.

No more of that for Donny Kohler.

Vito, that bum down at work, tried to push me around.

But I stood up to him. I beat the hell out of him.

(Chuckles)

Should have seen him.

Whimpering when I was finished with him.

And all the guys,

came up to me and congratulated me.

And thanked me.

For putting him in his place.

None of them could do it. But I did.

He won't try to do it to me again.

I'll push his face in.

Eh, what am I talking to you for?

If any of you take even a sip, I'll know it.

Understand?

I'll know it.

And besides... I don't like to see girls drink.

So don't get smart with me.

If you promise to be good, I'll leave the lights on.

And remember... no more laughing.

(I Rock music playing)

- (Yelling) - (Donny screams)

(Gasps)

() Rock music continues playing)

(Gasps)

(Mrs. Kohler) I'll get you, Donald. I'll get you.

(Screams)

What are you doing here?

Donny.

Donny Kohler.

I thought you told me you'd never come back here?

Oh, you came to get holy water. You don't have to steal it.

Doesn't it put out the flame?

Flame?

You have a problem?

Yes.

Let me help you with this.

Do you believe in the devil?

(Scoffs) What kind of a question is that to ask a priest?

- Do you? - I believe in evil, yes.

As for the pitch fork carrying kind with the tail,

I believe that was an interpretation, a vision of another era.

They may have needed that in another time.

So you don't believe it exists?

No, it doesn't exist. Unless you want it to.

What about the punishment of evil?

If a person is born evil, shouldn't they be punished?

Donny... What's troubling you? I haven't seen you in a long time,

and you seemed like a happy enough young man.

What are these questions now, what kind of punishment are you referring to?

To those born in sin. To women who are evil.

Isn't it right?

Donny, every Christian is baptized.

The ceremony joyously welcomes them into the community of Christ's world,

while washing away the taint of the original sin of his forefathers.

I was told by my blessed mother that we are born evil.

That the evil must be burned away with the flame.

Was my mother lying?

Are you calling my mother a liar?

Donny, your mother wasn't lying. I know your mother a long time.

She was always very interested, very concerned with our religion.

When she told you about sin being burned out,

she was referring to a symbol... to a symbol of God's power.

You have all the answers.

All the things you read in books. All the things you tell people.

Look at these symbols. I was burned just like in hell.

What is this? What happened to your arms?

It was the punishment for my sins.

Who did this to you?

Tell me.

My mother.

My mother.

Help me.

You mean your mother did this to you?

But why?

Because I was evil.

I was born from an evil deed.

She was burning it out of me, to save me.

If I was bad, she... she burned me.

If... if I had evil thoughts, she would burn me.

Do you understand me?

I understand your anger now.

But your mother's an old woman.

When your father left, she was deeply hurt.

She hated him.

And she hated me.

No, Donny. No.

Yes.

You must forgive those who have trespassed,

you must forgive your mother.

Donny?

I wanna help you. Do you believe me?

- Yes. - Do you want my help?

- Yes. - Then do as I tell you.

Put these thoughts of evil out of your mind now.

Resist them and you'll find peace. Don't you want that?

Yes. Yes, I do.

But... there are other things. Other people.

Come back to me.

Come to my office. Come to confession if you like.

You haven't been in a while, have you?

(Gerritty) Only come back and see me.

(Footsteps approaching)

Mother, please forgive me.

I told the priest because he... he wanted to help me.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I can change.

I wanna forget our past.

I wanna forgive you.

Please.

Help me forgive her.

I just talked to Mother and explained my feelings to her.

There are gonna be some changes here.

I...

I'm going to forget my past.

I talked to the priest, and he says I can change if I want to.

You hear me?

That's better.

I don't wanna have to hurt you any longer.

I can change.

I can do it.

(Whispering voices) 'Donny, Donny. You must burn more.

'More.'

No.

(Whispering voices) "You must burn the evil, Donny.

'Purify them with the flame. You must destroy evil.

'Get them. Get them, Donny.'

Here they are.

See for yourselves.

(Whispering voices) 'There are more. There are always more.

'Burn the evil. Burn the evil.'

No. I won't.

I've burned the evil. They're here in this room.

(Whispering voices) "You should listen to us, Donny.

"You should. You'll be sorry, Donny.

"You'll be sorry. Donny. Donny. Donny.'

- Yeah, who's this? - 'It's Donny.'

Hey, Donny! This is a surprise, what are you up to, man?

Nothing. I'm not up to nothing.

I just thought you might wanna go to a movie or something.

Now wait a minute. Let me get this straight.

You sure you don't wanna stay home tonight?

Come on.

Hey, listen, if you're really serious about doing something tonight,

I got something we can do, man. And it ain't no movie, you know?

Guess what I got lined up for tonight?

Two.

Two live ones, man.

And let me tell you, they are dynamite.

You know what they're into?

No. What?

I can't go into detail right now,

but take my word for it, they are dynamite.

Well, I-I thought we could... spend kind of a quiet night together, just talk.

'Or something like that.'

Are you kidding? This is perfect.

Now my wife thinks that I'm working the weekend shift, OK?

I got all the calls made, my ass is covered,

and I don't feel like sitting in some dumb movie holding your hand, no offense.

Well, wait a minute. I-I didn't mean that.

'Look, meet me at the Palace Disco tonight at eight o'clock, all right?

"That's it.'

- Well, if I can't be there? - I'll see you at eight, OK?

OK, Bobby. I'll see you at eight.

See you then.

Come on, let's go.

(Woman) OK, thanks anyway.

I'm sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

(Woman) Bye, bye.

Yes, sir, can I be of help to you?

Um... well, could you show me that shirt? The one they were looking at?

Oh, sure.

The red one.

Oh, the Matador.

- The Matador? - Mm-hmm.

This shirt, the styling, that's what it's called.

Oh, yes.

I forgot, the Matador. I've seen this before.

Mm-hmm.

- (Donny) Very interesting. - (Assistant) Yes.

Nice styling.

What did that lady think? She liked it, didn't she?

To tell you the truth, she thought it was tacky.

Oh.

What do you think?

If you could tell me if this was for a business occasion

or a casual affair, I could be of much more help.

Well, I-I was looking for something you could wear to a disco.

OK, let's get to the right department, shall we?

Just come this way.

I just got these in.

This is what they're all wearing.

Unless you're into the more wild look, which is really passé.

That's a beautiful plaid, isn't it?

Well, I'll tell you the truth,

for the disco scene I think this is what you want.

Well, why don't you take that shirt?

What size are you? 15 and a half?

Yeah.

There you are.

Can I set you up with an entire ensemble?

OK.

Great, just come this way.

I can make a new man of you in no time.

This three piece suit would be terrific with that shirt.

It's specially made for dancing, there's elastic thread in the seams.

You'll look terrific in this.

Now why don't you just take these into the dressing room,

and try them on, see If they fit?

No, that's all right. I'll try them on at home.

Well, fine.

We'll get you a new pair of shoes then, shall we?

Alfred? Could you fix this gentleman up with a pair of 1432s, please?

- Oh, your size, sir. - I don't know. Nine, I think.

Measure him, Alfred.

Well, I'll just have these wrapped up, if they're satisfactory of course.

- What do you think? - I think it's a dynamite outfit.

Really?

You'll steal the show.
