(EERIE LAUGHTER)

I just wanna go home.

Come on, life is for living.

This is living?

Why did you bring me here anyway?

(CHUCKLES)

I thought you might want to see where I shot my first commercial.

First?

We were filming on the slippery slope.

I came off my sled,

burnt down that pipe, T-shirt fully melted to my skin.

My butt was like mincemeat for a year.

Kevin's butt, we barely knew thee.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, they said my commercials are the best.

I kept screening into the park shot,

just cause a bunch of wimps couldn't hack it.

Umm, didn't 12 kids die?

I heard 20, but who cares?

There is enough Ricatto.

I don't think that's the right word.

So...

Why did you come with me tonight?

Is that a zit on your nose?

What? Where?

(LAUGHS)

Very funny how they got to laugh.

Ha-ha.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Let's go home. Let's go inside.

We've seen enough. You can tell everyone we're punk.

We'll be able to see ourselves from every angle.

Aren't you curious?

No, I am not...at all.

Please.

Shhh.

She doesn't like loud noises.

What? She who?

Kevin, you're not being funny.

I'm really not in the mood for an affogato.

Kevin?

Kevin, say something please.

I just wanna go home.

(SCREAMS)

(THEME MUSIC)

OK, Fester, you only get to hang out here on a technicality,

but don't get ahead of yourself.

You still gotta follow the rules. R-rules?

Rule number one, all kids must stay within the park boundary.

No one taking them out for ice-cream, sundaes,

or whatever schmucks like you think is cool.

Yes... Nobody thinks that's cool.

What happens if you leave?

I am sorry, did I say it was question time?

Deux, stay away from the mirror maze.

Nobody goes inside. Why not?

Do you wanna stay, or not?

OK, got it. Stay away from the mirror maze.

Trois, if you don't leave by sunrise,

you don't leave ever.

(ALL CHANT)

And lastly, and most importantly...

Come here.

Come here.

SCREAMS: Nobody else is allowed in!

You let anyone else in, and you're out.

We might just get you dead.

We're getting dinged, dip six.

Burn your candle at both ends, it will not last the night.

But, oh, my foes and all my friends,

it gives a lovely light!

Goodnight. Night-night.

(ROCK MUSIC)

# Everybody knows you're lost

# Morning light

# Virtual rise

# But it's another thing

# Nothing really matters beyond the sheets of blue

# Blind fools never like

# But it's another thing

# Nothing really matters

# Beyond the sheets of blue

# Cause in the end

# You're just reborn again

# You wanna rock

# And nothing's gonna make you stop

# And nothing's gonna break you up

# Everybody knows you're lost

# In the night time

# We're lost boys

# We are dead until dark

# But it's another thing

# Nothing really matters

# Behind the sheets of blue

# You say you want to live like I do

# But it's another thing

# But nothing really matters

# Behind the sheets of blue

# Cause in the end

# We're just reborn again

# You wanna rock...

Motorboat a cheesecake!

# ..make you stop

# And nothing's gonna break you up...

Eat your cereal with a fork!

# ..knows you're lost

# In the night time...

Dance like you've never been hurt.

# ..gonna make you stop...#

Tonight lasts forever!

Chester.

Chester!

(CLASS LAUGHS)

"Sully shot a quick glance at Lily,

then got a pained look across his face.

'I don't know, Miss,' he said."

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

You've got mail.

Like from the movie.

OK, it's from your mother.

You can put it over there.

Did you ever go to Crazy Fun Park when you were growing up?

Took these, when?

I found them online.

I'm touching them up for a school assignment.

Don't ever go near the deathtrap.

Thought we've seen the last of the place when they shut it down,

but no, it still finds way to bring us business.

What was it like when it was open?

Dear child, I thought moving here,

we were going to make an effort to try and fit in?

I am.

It's not my fault nobody here is interested in the same things.

Then take an interest in what they like.

What's the point?

Everyone just ends up leaving anyway.

I've accepted her decision.

One day you'll have to do the same.

It's getting late, I better get dinner.

I'd kill for your metabolism.

Oh. Yeah, I just have a lot of hungry friends.

Chester.

Oh. Hey.

What are you doing here? You'll never guess.

(LAUGHS) Right.

Going to a party, are we? What? No.

Of course not, I... Oh, these.

Um... Yeah, they're just for my mum.

Your mum? Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, um, yeah.

Yeah, she gets really hungry

when she's watching Australia's Got Cooking,

so, just gonna...

Anyway, I gotta go.

(DOOR CHIMES)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(PANTS)

Did you bring me a fun pack?

Mapplethorpe?

What are you doing here?

I know what you're up to.

They're Mapplethorpe's favourite things, right?

You're making spirit offerings.

I just really miss him.

Maybe I can help.

Sometimes the families that come to us

create altars for their deceased love ones.

They fill them with things that the person loved

when they were alive,

especially food by the looks of things.

What?

Oh, my salt and vinegars.

Do you know what you're doing?

Yes.

Sausage rolls, I never got to try them.

You have them every night.

I do?

Ooh.

Ow. Mosquito.

Hammers?

You wouldn't know to look at him

but Mapplethorpe was surprisingly sensitive about his hair.

(GIGGLES)

No!

Did you hear that?

Yeah, I think it was a night bird.

Now what.

Maybe say a few words about what he meant to you.

(LAUGHS) No, I don't think he'd want that.

Come on, you have to say something.

Not while you're watching me. Fine, I'll turn away then.

Mmm.

(SIGHS)

Mapplethorpe, I know things didn't quite end up like we thought.

I would have loved to have brought you a vanilla slice,

but they were all out, so I hope this stuff will do.

OK, thanks, bye.

Really? What did you expect me to say?

Um, what did you really like about him, his best qualities?

He didn't care what anyone thought. And?

And...that was kind of infectious. How?

Well, when I was with him, it would rub off.

For a moment, I wouldn't care either.

It made me feel stronger, like I was invincible.

Aww.

Oh! Oop!

Those night birds sure sound creepy.

Come on, let's get outta here.

Why are you helping me?

You guys are the only ones who've been nice to me since I got here.

We haven't been that nice.

I probably need to apologise.

I guess Mapplethorpe and I aren't used to people caring.

It's nice you still talk about him in the present tense.

Just make sure you look after yourself.

What do you mean?

You can barely keep your eyes open.

You know you can't keep coming here every night, right?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(GATE SQUEAKING)

NARRATOR ON TV: Just go to Crazy Fun Park.

There's no other park like it.

On a hot day, it's a great place to be with your friends.

These are the most amazing rides in the world!

I love it here.

NARRATOR ON TV: Have crazy fun at Crazy Fun Park.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

Hey. Hey.

Uh, what's going on?

We realised we haven't been spending much time with you lately.

Since the...

We've all been busy. And we apologise for that.

So, we thought we could spend the night together.

Have, have I done something wrong? Well, of course not.

No, no, we just thought we could have a movie night.

Like we used to. We'll get pizza.

You can choose the film.

Yeah, sure.

(SIGHS) Great.

Quattro Formaggi with additional cheese?

Yes, please.

I'll let you do the honours. Ah, thank you.

I'll, uh, I'll find something short.

(MAN SCREAMS ON TV)

(MOTOR WHIRRS ON TV)

(WOMAN SCREAMS ON TV)

Hey...

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

No sign of him, hey?

He'll be here.

Von, you coming?

I'll be right there.

You know, after my accident,

my best-friends Kay and Minnie used to come here everyday

and tie flowers against the fence.

Lucky you.

Then after a while, it started being every second day,

then every third,

then they stopped coming altogether.

They sound like pretty crummy friends.

(LAUGHS) That's life.

People get pulled in other directions.

They make new friends.

They...keep living.

You're not very good at cheering people up, are you?

I'm just saying.

You have to be ready that Chester won't keep coming here forever.

And one day, you're going to have to let him go.

Just cause your friends were D-bags

doesn't mean Chester's gonna ditch me.

I know why he's not here. Why?

It's her! Getting in the way of everything.

So, what are you gonna do about it?

I'll just have to get rid of her...

..then everything will go back to normal.

Now, Chevonne?

(SIGHS)

Bite me.

Coming.

All I'm saying is, don't ask too much of him.

He's only human.

What are you talking to him for?

Aren't you meant to be my girlfriend?

Get a rest, Kevin...

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Oh, no!

You seem well rested for once.

Yeah, I know.

That's a bad thing?

Mum and Dad wanted to watch a film with me last night.

That sounds nice.

Yeah, it was.

It was really nice.

I'm not getting the problem.

Had a really nice night, and then I slept like a rock.

I didn't...

You didn't think about Mapplethorpe?

Not once.

I'm guessing that hasn't happened since the accident?

Chester...

..grief doesn't have to be a constant weight on your shoulders.

You don't have to think sad thoughts all the time.

There'll be days when you actually feel good,

and that's not a bad thing.

That's the goal.

It's part of letting go.

Hopefully, it'll happen more and more.

So don't feel guilty that you took a night for yourself.

I'm sure Mapplethorpe would understand.

I hope so.

So, now that you've had a good night's sleep,

maybe it's time to re-do this exam.

(SIGHS)

I'm really good at this.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

(GATE SQUEAKS)

(CREAKS) Ohh!

(THUDS)

Hello? Is someone there?

Hello? Is there someone there?

(EERIE WHISPERS)

(SWITCHES CLICK)

Chester, what is going on?

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Surprise.

Mapplethorpe? Surprise.

This isn't my fault, I didn't tell her anything.

I know, I did.

She was about to get herself hurt,

and I don't wanna be stuck with her for all eternity.

Wait, wait, wait, just a second here.

You're Nimrod.

And you're Destiny McPhail.

You're Tigger.

But you're all, you're...

Dead. Muertos. Martwy.

You know us? I've read about all of you.

Ohh! Is that a gay boy vest?

Oh, cool, I got page three.

Better than you, Willow. Shove it, McPhail.

That's so cool. What the hell were you doing?

I just wanted to scare her.

You better not tell anybody what you saw in there,

not if you want to keep seeing your precious friend.

Is there anything about me?

Uh, this is you right?

No, I look super cute.

Where's mine?

Hey, that, that's not me.

(ALL LAUGH)

I mean, it is me, but it's not the real me.

It's not funny, stop laughing.

Kevin McDillon. Dweebus maximus!

You're gonna tell them to change the photo?

You're dead.

You don't get to control how you're remembered.

You good with all this?

Hey.

Oh, I forgot it was in my bag,

but should still taste good.

Did she stop you coming last night?

Violetta?

No.

Are you upset about that?

It's the first night you didn't come and see me.

Park isn't that crazy fun when you're on your own.

I...fell asleep.

You think I didn't want to be here?

I'd be here all the time if I could but...

..you know, I'm still human.

Got to keep living.

Nothing's gonna get in the way of us having crazy fun,

except maybe me needing to sleep sometimes.

I hope that's OK.

Just promise next time you'll bring me a fresher one.

Deal.

Come on, gotta get out of here.

Friends for another day? You know it.

Wait, surely you can fix that photo.

Oh, it's... Talk about it tomorrow night.

It is obviously not a good photo. Let it go, Kevin.

Yo, Kevin, put on the brakes.

Call my agent, give him my folio.

Kevin! Come back, amigo.

Did you consider how I want to be rememb...

(ALL SCREAM)

Ah!

(SHE SOBS)
