TV: FRANKENSTEIN! FRANKENSTEIN!

BRING HIM DOWN TO THE VILLAGE

AND LET'S TAKE HIM HOME.

[DOGS BARKING]

[MAN SCREAMING]

Jack: I THOUGHT I KNEW ALL ABOUT MONSTERS.

I USED TO WATCH THEM LATE AT NIGHT

ON DAD'S TV SHOW.

AFTER WE MOVED TO OAKLAND,

HE STOPPED DOING KIDS' SHOWS

BECAUSE HE WAS DIFFERENT NOW.

EVERYTHING WAS DIFFERENT.

NOW HE WAS AL GORY,

MONSTER OF CEREMONIES ON MIDNIGHT SHRIEK.

Woman: OH, AL.

WHAT?

OH, IT'S YOU AGAIN.

SO ANYWAY, BEFORE WE DIG INTO OUR SECOND FEATURE,

I HAVE TO PAY A VISIT TO MY AGING MOTHER.

[BOING]

SHE WOULD HAVE WANTED ME TO HAVE THIS.

[CHUCKLING] WHOA. HMM.

Jack: IT WAS ON REAL LATE, WAY PAST MY BEDTIME.

DAD DIDN'T LET ME STAY UP TO SEE IT,

SO I USED TO WAIT FOR MRS. SAMPSON TO FALL ASLEEP...

HOLD IT. I THINK THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.

AND SNEAK INTO HIS BEDROOM TO WATCH.

AH, THIS NEW FLAG CERTAINLY WORKS FINE.

GET IN THERE. GET A HOLD!

BUT THEN I'D GET SCARED,

ALONE IN HIS ROOM AT NIGHT,

AND I WOULDN'T KNOW WHY.

I DIDN'T KNOW YET

WHAT I WAS GOING TO LEARN THAT YEAR...

THAT MONSTERS ARE REAL.

AH.

WHOA.

HERE YOU GO.

WE HAD SORT OF JUST PICKED UP AND LEFT SYRACUSE,

CROSSING THE COUNTRY, FINDING A HOUSE,

THE THREE OF US TAKING CARE

OF ALL THE GROWN-UP STUFF TOGETHER.

- HEY, I GOT THAT. - [DOORBELL RINGS]

- WHO IS IT? - I GOT THAT, I GOT THAT.

COME ON, DYLAN.

GOL-DANG IT.

Jack: I GUESS IT COULD HAVE BEEN STRANGE,

BEING IN A NEW PLACE...

CAN YOUR DAD COME OUT AND PLAY?

BUT IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG

FOR DAD TO BECOME A CELEBRITY

AMONG THE KIDS ON OUR BLOCK.

WHEN'S THE MONSTER COMING OUT?

[SNORT]

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS MONSTERS.

YOU ALL KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?

MONSTERS EXIST ONLY IN OURSELVES.

THEY LIVE IN THE DARKEST CHAMBERS OF OUR HEARTS.

THEY NEVER ACTUALLY COME OUT INTO THE WORLD,

UNLESS, OF COURSE, A METAL LIGHT APPEARS IN THE SKY,

BUT WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU SAW THAT?

SO WHY DON'T WE TRY AND BE ADULTS ABOUT THIS

AND RUN ALONG HOME, OK?

HEY, WHAT'S THAT?

- Girl: MR. LEARY. - WHAT?

- LOOK. - LOOK.

LOOK!

Boy: LOOK.

THERE IT IS.

[EXHALING]

- WHOA! - OH, NO! HE'S DOING IT AGAIN!

[CHATTER]

[GROWLING]

[LAUGHING]

[CONTINUES GROWLING]

AAH! AAH!

[SCREAMING]

Jack: HE WAS ALWAYS A MADMAN FOR PLAYING WITH KIDS.

MOM USED TO SAY THAT WAS BECAUSE

HE WAS REALLY JUST A KID HIMSELF.

[GROWLING]

- Woman: MR. LEARY-- - HMM.

WHAT'S THIS STRANGE POWER YOU HAVE OVER OUR CHILDREN?

[CHILDREN SCREAMING]

I'M THE PERFECT MONSTER.

GRR! EE! HA HA HA HA HA!

AH HA HA HA!

AND THE HOUSE WE FOUND IN OAKLAND

WAS PERFECT FOR PLAYING ANYTHING,

ESPECIALLY THE FLASHLIGHT GAME.

COME ON, DYLAN, IN THE CLOSET.

Jack: BUT IT WAS DIFFERENT NOW,

THE WAY HE PLAYED WITH US.

IT WAS LIKE HE HAD TO DO IT.

AAH!

AFTER THE HEARTBREAK HAD HAPPENED,

SOMETIMES I WONDERED IF DAD DIDN'T NEED OUR GAMES

MORE THAN WE DID.

VERY, VERY NICE, JACKIE.

HEY, JACKIE BEAR.

HEY.

MOM?

Jack: MOM DIED LAST WINTER.

DYLAN... DON'T WAKE DAD.

DYLAN AND I WERE STILL LEARNING

THE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

WHEN YOU MOVE TO A NEW HOUSE,

LIKE IN OUR CASE, DON'T PLAY IN THE BACKYARD.

[BARKING]

IF YOU GET CAUGHT IN THERE, THEY EAT YOU.

- [CHILDREN SCREAMING] - Jack: OUT FRONT,

THERE WAS A WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET TO KNOW--

OK. PUT THE BALL RIGHT THERE.

- HUDDLE. - COME ON.

...LIKE MR. FESTINGER,

WHO ALWAYS YELLED AT HIS SON EDWARD

- FOR BEING RETARDED. - Boy: EDWARD!

WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR EYES AND THE BALL?

YOU NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE BALL.

- ALL RIGHT, YOU ALMOST-- - Child: EDWARD, EYES!

YOU ALMOST CAUGHT THAT ONE. COME ON, LET'S GO.

Jack: AND DEXTER, WHO LIVED NEXT STORE.

MY MOM MIGHT BE SLEEPING.

HIS PARENTS WERE REALLY HIS GRANDPARENTS

BECAUSE HIS REAL PARENTS HAD SPLIT FROM EACH OTHER

AND FROM HIM AND PROBABLY FROM EVERYTHING.

GUESS WHAT. WE GOT COMPANY.

LET'S GO TO MY ROOM.

OF COURSE, HIS GRANDPARENTS WEREN'T DOING MUCH BETTER.

[SNORING]

DID I TELL YOU HE WAS A FIGHTING SEABEE?

Jack: NO ONE ELSE ON OUR STREET

WOULD LET THEIR KIDS PLAY AT THE MITCHELLS'.

COME ON. LET'S GO.

THEY'RE OVER THERE. THAT'S THEM OVER THERE.

DO YOU SEE? OVER THERE. GET THEM! GET THEM! GET THEM!

HEY, ZOMBIE. THAT'S RIGHT, I'M TALKING TO YOU.

THE NEXT TIME YOUR DOG DEFECATES ON MY LAWN,

HE'S DEAD, PAL.

GODDAMN SON OF A BITCH.

Jack: AND THEN THERE WAS NORMAN THE ZOMBIE,

WHO MANGLED ONE OF HIS LEGS

IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AS A TEENAGER

WHEN HE CRASHED HIS T-BIRD INTO AN ICE CREAM TRUCK.

HE'D FIXED UP THE CAR

AND KEPT IT ON BLOCKS IN HIS DRIVEWAY,

WASHING IT EVERY DAY.

YOU KNOW, INSIDE THAT CANE IS A SWORD.

I'VE SEEN IT.

AND HE ATTACKED MR. FESTINGER ONE NIGHT WITH A TREE BRANCH.

HIT HIM RIGHT OVER THE HEAD WITH IT.

ALSO BLINDED HIS OWN DOG WITH A ROCK.

YOU EVER LOOK AT IT?

LOOKS LIKE A DEAD MARBLE.

- OH, GOD! - HE'S COMING FOR US.

- GET DOWN! GET DOWN! - OH, MY GOSH.

DIG! GET DOWN! DIG! DIG! DIG!

DIG! HE'S COMING!

IS NORMAN GOING TO GET US?

HE'S NOT GOING TO GET US.

HE KILLED HIS PARENTS.

YOU EVER SEEN THEM OVER THERE IN A LONG TIME?

I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM.

YOU USED TO,

WALKING AROUND BEHIND THE CURTAINS.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO LOOK. THAT'S FOR SURE.

MAYBE WE SHOULD.

Woman: I'LL GET IT.

NO. I WANT TO DO IT MYSELF.

WELL, DON'T FALL!

OK, KIDS. GET TO BED.

- SEE? I CAN REACH IT. - THERE YOU GO.

DON'T GIVE MRS. SAMPSON A HEART ATTACK.

WHAT'S UP, JACKIE BEAR?

NOTHING.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF FUN

AT THE STUDIO TOMORROW,

BUT AS FOR NOW,

IT'S OFF TO WORK.

BUYING A NEW CAR DOESN'T HAVE TO GIVE YOU A HEADACHE,

NOT IF YOU GO TO EAST BAY DODGE.

HA! MY OLD FRIEND PSYCHO WARD CLEAVER.

PUT THAT THING DOWN, PSYCHO,

AND WE'LL GO FOR A TEST DRIVE.

YOU KNOW, PSYCHO, THIS BEAUTIFUL DODGE CHALLENGER

IS LOADED-- AIR CONDITIONING, POWER STEERING,

BLOOD-BUCKET SEATS.

MICHAEL, WAIT UP.

MICHAEL.

QUIET. QUIET.

SHH! SHH! SHH!

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

LET'S GO.

- DO WE GOT TO? - COME ON.

[PANTING]

[LAUGHING]

HEY, I WANT TO SEE HIM WITH HIS ONE-EYED DOG--

WHOA!

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING? - NOW, JACK--

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

NORMAN IS GOING TO KILL YOU GUYS.

SPRAY ANYWHERE.

[LAUGHING]

[GROWLING]

- [GASP] - [RUFF]

[SCREAMING]

AAH!

[SCREAMING]

[BARKING]

AAH!

JACKIE, WAKE UP. YOU GOT TO GO DOWNSTAIRS.

Jack: HE SAID HE'D CUT HIS FOOT

INVESTIGATING A NOISE OUTSIDE HIS HOUSE.

I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT

WHY HE DIDN'T TELL DAD THE REST.

[DOCTOR, NURSE CHATTER]

HE MUST NOT HAVE TOO MANY GOOD FRIENDS

IF HE HAD TO COME TO US IN HIS TIME OF NEED.

HE HAS A SWORD IN THAT CANE.

REALLY?

YEAH, AND HE ATTACKED MR. FESTINGER ONE NIGHT

WITH A TREE BRANCH.

REALLY?

WONDER WHY HE DIDN'T USE HIS SWORD.

Jack: I GUESS THAT'S WHEN IT ALL STARTED.

I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE TILL LATER

THAT THE TROUBLE WASN'T ONLY WITH NORMAN.

UH-OH. ME SPILL.

WHO LET THIS BRAT INTO MY CRYPT?

SPAGHETTI BOWL-LOGNESE?

NOW HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS?

THIS OUGHT TO DO THE TRICK.

DON'T MOVE, DYLAN.

HANG IN THERE, OK?

CUT CAMERA ONE. LOCK IT OFF.

ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN MOVE NOW.

- PEGGY, TAKE HIS CLOTHES OFF. - COME HERE.

- HI, PEGGY. - HERE YOU GO, JACK. HANG ON TO THAT.

ONE DAY YOU'RE GONNA LIKE THE GIRLS DOING THIS, DYLAN.

JACK, DON'T YOU WANT TO BE IN THE COMMERCIAL?

NO WAY. I HAVE FRIENDS THAT WATCH THIS SHOW.

- GIVE ME THE CLOTHES, PEGGY. - YEP.

PUT THEM RIGHT HERE.

JOHN, CAN I SEE YOU FOR A SECOND?

NOW, GORDON?

RIGHT NOW. DO YOU MIND?

ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S TAKE FIVE.

WHAT? WHAT, ARE YOU CANCELING THE SHOW?

NO, NO, I LOVE THE SHOW. I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE THE COMMERCIALS, I LOVE EVERYTHING.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE ME MORE BREAD?

LOOK, I'VE BEEN FIGHTING AS HARD AS I CAN FOR YOU,

BUT THEY'RE PINNING ME TO THE MAT.

IT SEEMS THEY HAVE A LITTLE PROBLEM

WITH YOUR PSYCHO WARD CLEAVER CHARACTER.

THEY THINK HE'S IN BAD TASTE.

WHY? BECAUSE HE HAS MULTIPLE HEAD WOUNDS?

WHO KNOWS? SO JUST THINK OF ANOTHER CHARACTER.

IS THIS A SUGGESTION

OR A NON-NEGOTIABLE DEMAND?

IT'S A-- IT'S JUST A--

IT'S JUST A PHONE CALL. THEY JUST-- ONE PHONE CALL.

OH, YEAH, THEY MAKE A PHONE CALL, YOU ROLL OVER.

DON'T WORRY. YOUR DAD CAN ALWAYS CALM GORDON DOWN.

- NO, YOU'RE LAYING DOWN. - OF COURSE I AM.

WHAT DO YOU-- THESE PEOPLE SAY "SHIT,"

- AND YOU SAY "WHAT COLOR?" - I KNOW--

ALL RIGHT, GIVE ME THE JUG.

UH, PEGGY, SEE IF YOU CAN RUN OUT

AND ROUND UP A BUCKET OF DOG VOMIT.

WE'LL THROW IT ON THE RUG.

- ALL RIGHT, COME ON. - COME ON, PEOPLE.

Jack: MOM ALWAYS SAID DAD BRISTLED WHEN HE GOT MAD,

AND SOME PEOPLE MADE HIM MADDER THAN OTHERS.

GRANDMA! GRANDMA!

GRANDMA! GRANDMA!

- [LAUGHING] HI, LITTLE LAMB. - GRANDMA.

Jack: MAYBE THAT'S WHERE THE TROUBLE REALLY CAME FROM.

LOOK WHO'S HERE.

Grandma: OH, MY GOODNESS, YOU GUYS.

- OH, OH. - Grandpa: WHOA.

[LAUGHING]

HI.

[CHATTER]

HOW ARE YOU, DARLING? HI, JOHN.

WHOA. LOOK AT THAT, DYLAN.

THERE. FOR YOU.

Jack: LONG AGO IN HOLLYWOOD,

MOM'S PARENTS WERE PUT ON A BLACKLIST

THEY KEPT FOR COMMUNISTS.

NO ONE EVER PROVED THEY CARRIED THE CARDS.

THERE'S JUST A WAY YOU COULD TELL.

LINCOLN STEFFENS-- THANK YOU, GRANDMA.

- YOU'RE WELCOME. - HE'S A GREAT MAN, JACK.

SOMEONE STAYS WITH YOU AND YOUR BROTHER

WHILE YOUR DAD'S AT WORK?

MRS. SAMPSON.

- SHE'S AN OLDER WOMAN? - UH-HUH.

Jack: I COULD TELL HE WAS TRYING TO GET ME TO RAT ON DAD,

THE WAY HIS FRIENDS RATTED ON HIM LONG AGO,

FISHING WITH RED BAIT FOR SOMETHING

HE COULD HOLD AGAINST DAD TO HIS GRAVE.

IS HE LAYING OFF THE SAUCE?

UH-HUH.

UM...

YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T HELP MAKE THINGS BETTER, JOHN,

ONLY WORSE.

YOU COULDN'T RESIST, COULD YOU, SYD?

DIDN'T HELP YOUR MARRIAGE MUCH.

SYDNEY.

IS THIS WHY YOU CAME HERE?

NO, I CAME TO SEE MY GRANDCHILDREN.

THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING TALKING TO ME?

YOU LEAVE THE CHILDREN WITH STRANGERS--

WHAT'S EVEN WORSE, ON THEIR OWN.

I PAY A RESPONSIBLE WOMAN TO LOOK AFTER THEM.

WHAT THE HELL ELSE YOU WANT ME TO DO?

DON'T USE THAT TONE.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR OWN CHILDREN'S WELFARE--

- JOHN. - ...FOR GOD'S SAKE.

LISTEN, WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING.

I'M NOT GONNA DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU.

FINE. KEEP DRINKING, LOSE THIS JOB LIKE THE OTHERS,

AND WE'LL GO TO COURT AND TAKE THOSE KIDS.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, SYD.

OVER MY DEAD BODY. HOW'S THAT?

THAT'S WHEN YOU CAN HAVE MY BOYS.

Jack: THEY LEFT THAT NIGHT.

Man: IT LOOKS GOOD THERE.

DAD.

AREN'T YOU GOING TO TAKE DYLAN TO SCHOOL?

IT'S DYLAN'S FIRST DAY.

DYLAN, LET'S GO!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

MY SHOES.

- [LAUGHING] - DYLAN.

DYLAN.

DO YOU WANT THE DOGS?

I WANT DADDY.

DADDY'S ASLEEP.

I WANT DADDY TO TAKE ME TO SCHOOL.

DADDY! DADDY!

[BARKING]

Man: COME ON, COME ON, WE LIVE AROUND HERE.

NOT THE WHOLE SECTION, HUH?

I WANT DADDY. WHERE'S MOMMY?

WHERE'S MOMMY?

LISTEN, DYLAN, YOU HAVE TO GO IN THERE, OK?

- NO. - THEY'LL BE NICE.

YOU HAVE TO.

YOU HAVE TO GO, OK?

COME ON.

I'LL PICK YOU UP LATER.

NOW GO. YOU HAVE TO GO.

GO.

Man: JAPANESE POETRY IS A DRAMA.

IT'S ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH.

IT'S...

UM, SORRY I'M LATE. I HAD TO--

IT'S OK. HAVE A SEAT.

THAT'S RIGHT. NO DESKS.

JOIN US.

YOU HAVE A DESK.

TABLE.

WANT TO SIT AT IT?

NO, SIR.

NO "SIR," EITHER.

THE NAME'S VINCE.

HI, JACK.

I KNOW ABOUT YOUR MOM.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS FOR EACH OF YOU TO TRY.

BESIDES THE ELECTRICAL EXPERIMENTS AND THE HERB GARDEN,

THERE'S A "LEARNING TO COMMUNICATE YOUR FEELINGS" WORKSHOP

WHICH I'LL BE TEACHING.

[JACKHAMMER]

OH, JESUS!

OH.

Woman: THAT'S VERY NICE.

THERE YOU GO. HERE. HOLD ON TO MY HAND.

GOOD.

[CHILDREN CHATTER]

THROW YOUR BALL.

Boy: THROW YOUR BALL.

THROW YOUR BALL!

CAN I HELP YOU?

YEAH, ACTUALLY, I WAS SUPPOSED TO DROP OFF MY SON TODAY.

I WAS DETAINED,

AND I JUST CAME BY TO SEE IF HE WAS OK.

HOW OLD IS HE?

HE'S 3. IT'S HIS FIRST DAY.

Teacher: OK, TAKE IT EASY.

IF HE'S DOING ALL RIGHT,

MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST LET HIM BE.

IT MIGHT BE HARDER IF HE SEES YOU.

[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

HE'S A GOOD KID.

I BETTER GO.

[SIREN]

- Man: GET BACK IN HERE. - [CHATTER]

IS THERE A FIRE?

NO. MAN, IT'S THAT LADY IN THERE.

KID CAME HOME AND FOUND HER.

SHE'S BARELY ALIVE.

THERE MUST BE A SQUARE YARD OF PILL BOTTLES IN THAT PLACE.

DEXTER, IS YOUR MOM SICK?

NO. SHE'S JUST NOT MOVING.

TV: AAH!

AAH!

Jack: I KNEW RIGHT AWAY

WHEN I SAW DEXTER COMING HOME FROM SCHOOL

WITH HIS LUNCH PAIL.

HE LOOKED LIKE AN ANGEL OR A GIRL,

HIS FACE ALL SOFT AND ROSY AND SWEET.

MY MOM'S DEAD.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT DEXTER'S MOM?

YEAH.

[DYLAN GIGGLES]

DYLAN, NO! DYLAN!

[CLATTER]

YOU WEARING THOSE TO SCHOOL OR WHAT?

Jack: THE WEEKS WENT BY, AND FALL CAME,

WITH COLD MORNINGS, LIKE IN SYRACUSE.

AND THINGS HAD STARTED TO CHANGE.

THERE WAS EVEN A GIRL AT SCHOOL

WHO STARTED TALKING TO ME.

HI, JACK.

HI, KAREN.

SHE WAS WHAT MY DAD CALLED A LONG DRINK OF WATER.

AND THEN THEY'D HAVE TO SAY

"WE'RE SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THAT."

THEN I'D HAVE TO SAY

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME,

YOU'RE TOO OLD TO RUN AROUND IN A COSTUME?

HOW DO YOU THINK THAT MAKES ME FEEL?

SO DON'T WEAR ONE, THEN. NO ONE'S MAKING YOU.

I LIKE WEARING ONE.

YOU CAN WEAR A COSTUME AND STILL BE DIGNIFIED.

THE CANDY CAULDRON'S RIGHT HERE BY THE DOOR.

YOU RUN OUT OF THAT,

THERE'S ALWAYS THE CHANGE JAR.

OK, CHARLES, LET'S GO AND LEAVE YOUR BROTHER

TO REFLECT ON HIS LOST CHILDHOOD.

HERE YOU GO. HOLD THAT BAG.

TRICK OR TREAT, JACK.

TRICK OR TREAT, JACK.

DEXTER, WHERE DID YOU GET THE...

THANKS.

HOW DID I DO?

WOW! HUH?

NOT A BAD HAUL,

CONSIDERING I HAD TO LUG YOUR BROTHER

HALFWAY AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

DAD--

JACKIE, WHERE WOULD DEXTER GET A NAZI UNIFORM?

NORMAN GAVE IT TO HIM.

HE PROBABLY WAS DRESSED AS A BUS DRIVER.

YEAH, BUT, DAD, HE WENT LIKE THIS.

DON'T DO THAT IN THIS HOUSE.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

[DOORBELL RINGS]

THAT'S MRS. SAMPSON.

DAD.

HOW YOU DOING, NORMAN?

WHAT, ARE YOU OUT TRICK OR TREATING?

NO. I'M TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY

TO COLLECT CONTRIBUTIONS

FOR STATE ASSEMBLY CANDIDATE ELDER MACINTYRE.

MR. MACINTYRE IS A FORMER LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.

I KNOW WHO HE IS.

BECAUSE...

I GREW UP ON THIS STREET.

EXCUSE ME?

WHEN I WAS A KID,

YOU DIDN'T SEE THEM AROUND.

THEY KEPT THEIR DISTANCE.

THEY?

THE NIGGERS AND THE JEWS.

OH, "THEY."

MR. MACINTYRE CAN HELP US...

BUT HE NEEDS OUR HELP.

ANYTHING YOU COULD SPARE

WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

HALLOWEEN IS MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY.

I LOVE SEEING THEIR COSTUMES.

WHAT DO YOU GO AS?

A BUNNY.

WELL, ALL RIGHT.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

MRS. SAMPSON.

HI, JACKIE.

Jack: HI, MRS. SAMPSON.

AS ONE WHITE MAN TO ANOTHER...

I MOVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM A GODDAMN NAZI.

OH, MY GOD!

NIGGERS AND JEWS.

EXCUSE ME, MRS. SAMPSON.

YOU'RE NOT JEWISH, ARE YOU?

NO, I'M A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS.

SORRY ABOUT THIS, MRS. SAMPSON.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, HONEY.

NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

[SIGHS]

ELDER MACINTYRE.

Man: MILLTOWN...

Jack: DAD SHOWED INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS

THAT NIGHT-- HIS FAVORITE MOVIE.

HE SAID IT WAS REALLY ABOUT ALL THE STUPID PEOPLE

WHO WORRIED THE COMMUNISTS WERE GONNA TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY.

...AND ALL THE TOWNS AROUND US,

IT'S A MALIGNANT DISEASE

SPREADING THROUGH THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

I DON'T WANT TO ALARM YOU,

BUT CHECK OUT WHAT THIS MOVIE IS REALLY ABOUT.

PODS FROM OUTER SPACE?

SOME SMALL TOWN CALLED SANTA RITA?

THIS IS YOUR TOWN.

Jack: HE WAS DRUNK,

NOT PRETENDING.

I COULD TELL BY HIS HALF-CLOSED EYES

AND THE SLOW WAY HE MOVED.

LOOK AGAIN AT THAT MAN ACROSS THE STREET

WATERING HIS LAWN.

GO TO 2.

2 IS OFF THE SET.

OR THAT WOMAN CLIMBING OUT OF HER PONTIAC...

CARRYING HER GROCERY BAGS.

HOW BIG IS THAT NOSE?

DAD, DON'T DO THIS.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE MOVING IN?

NIGGERS?

JEWS?

COMMIE BASTARDS?

SHIT.

TURN AROUND, AND ONE DAY THERE THEY ARE.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT, DON'T.

BUT IF YOU'RE SMART--

OH, MY GOD.

YOU'LL JOIN ME AND CANDIDATE...

FOR ASSEMBLY ELDER-- ELDER MACINTYRE.

- CUT HIM OFF! - ANYTHING YOU CAN SPARE--

- CUT HIM OFF NOW! - ...BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION.

AND SIEG HEIL.

GET READY TO SEND THEM OUT.

[CHUCKLING]

Jack: HE WAS REALLY BIG UP CLOSE.

I KNEW IT WAS WRONG,

BUT I THOUGHT OF DRAGGING HIM ONTO FESTINGER'S LAWN.

I FIGURED I'D LEAVE A TRAIL,

OR SOMEONE COMING OUT OF THEIR HOUSE TO GET THEIR PAPER

WOULD LOOK OVER AND SEE ME.

IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN,

I WOULD HAVE ROLLED HIM THERE, IF I HAD TO.

ABSOLUTELY.

DAD.

OH, WHERE WAS I?

DAD!

MARTINI, LIKE DADDY.

[SIREN]

Jack: THE VET SAID POISON,

AND WE WERE THE PRIME SUSPECTS.

NO MATTER WHERE CHEYENNE WAS POISONED,

STUMBLING AROUND COUGHING HIS GUTS OUT,

IT WAS OUR FRONT YARD HE FINALLY CRASHED ON.

WHAT THE HECK DO YOU WANT ME TO DO, JACKIE?

TELL HIM WE DIDN'T DO IT.

HE DOESN'T THINK WE DID IT.

DAD, AFTER LAST NIGHT?

[SIGH]

UH, NORMAN, HI.

UH...

I CAME OVER HERE TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU.

I DID A VERY MEAN-SPIRITED THING

ON MY SHOW LAST NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW IT.

I WAS DRUNK.

I KNOW THAT'S NO EXCUSE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I DIDN'T KILL YOUR DOG, NORMAN.

I'M SORRY THAT SOMEBODY DID.

I DIDN'T POISON YOUR DOG, NORMAN.

IF YOU KNEW ME BETTER,

YOU'D KNOW IT'S NOT MY STYLE.

I'D HAVE SHOT HIM.

FOR THOSE OF YOU

WHOSE BRAINS AREN'T TOTALLY WITHERED,

HERE'S A STARTLING DEMONSTRATION.

MY OLD FRIEND PSYCHO WARD CLEAVER

WILL DO THE HONORS.

TAKE 'EM AWAY, PSYCHO.

NOT ENOUGH BLOOD.

IT'S PLENTY. HEY, I FINALLY FOUND

THE BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES.

OOH. PUT IT ON FRIDAY NIGHT WITH MR. SARDONICUS.

- OK. - JOHN.

JOHN.

I think you need some time off.

WHAT?

YOU NEED A BREAK.

LAST NIGHT WAS TOO MUCH, JOHN.

DO I GET TO DECIDE HOW LONG A BREAK I NEED?

NO.

SO YOU'RE FIRING ME?

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?

YOU'RE FIRING ME?

DON'T PRESS IT, JOHN.

I WANT TO PRESS IT. I THINK I SHOULD PRESS IT.

I'LL TAKE A WEEK OFF.

WEREN'T COMING INSTEAD FROM OURSELVES--

FROM THE DARKEST CHAMBERS,

AS DAD SAID, OF OUR HEARTS.

I'LL PAY YOU A NICKEL

WELL, THEY'RE LAUGHING ABOUT IT.

OH, NO, THEY AREN'T.

THEY'RE LAUGHING BECAUSE THEY'RE AT A PARTY.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[KNOCKING]

WHERE'S DYLAN?

HE'S GONE.

WHERE?

WHERE?

THERE-- IN THE STREET.

MY BROTHER DOESN'T GO IN THE STREET.

LOOK, MAN, MY BROTHER IS MY RESPONSIBILITY.

NOW WHERE THE HELL IS HE?

DOES THIS MEAN I DON'T GET TO KEEP THE NICKEL?

DO YOU WANT TO DIE?

TALK! TALK! TALK!

NORMAN.

NORMAN WHAT? NORMAN WHAT?

COME ON, TELL ME NOW!

HE TOOK HIM IN A CAR.

NORMAN'S CAR'S RIGHT THERE, IDIOT.

IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A MOTOR.

HEY!

WHAT CAR?

ANOTHER CAR-- A WHITE CAR.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING HIM!

HE'S YOUR BROTHER. PLEASE GET OFF ME.

I'LL GET OFF YOU

IF YOU SWEAR THAT YOU WON'T RUN AWAY.

SWEAR.

I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU RUN AWAY.

I SWEAR.

HEY!

OH! OW!

WHERE'S MY BROTHER?

I NEED THE POLICE.

IT'S AN EMERGENCY.

I NEED THEM TO COME TO MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW.

Jack: IT WAS LIKE A DREAM

WHERE YOUR LEGS KEEP MOVING

BUT YOU CAN'T GET ANYWHERE.

I KNEW I SHOULD BE FINDING HIM,

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE

OR WHO TO ASK OR WHAT TO DO.

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE, JACK?

NORMAN KIDNAPPED MY BROTHER.

DEXTER SAW IT.

HE WOULDN'T TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

WHAT?

HEY, DEXTER, GET OVER HERE!

GET! GET OVER HERE!

TELL ME, BOY, OR I'LL WHALE YOU!

OW! OHH!

HEY, MITCHELL, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. SHUT UP.

DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP.

I'LL PUT YOUR HEAD RIGHT THROUGH THE WINDOW

OF THAT UGLY CAMPER OF YOURS.

IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON THIS BLOCK IS MY BUSINESS.

THAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH YOU.

YOU GOT YOUR NOSE IN EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS.

THIS IS MY FAMILY.

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE? LEAVE THE KID ALONE.

MY BROTHER WAS KIDNAPPED.

ARE YOU THE PERSON WHO CALLED?

YES. I WAS IN THE HOUSE.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING HIM.

TELL HIM WHAT YOU SAW.

AND HE WAS KIDNAPPED BY NORMAN STRICK.

THERE'S THE FATHER.

SIR, I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS,

BUT WE BELIEVE ONE OF YOUR SONS HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED.

Festinger: NORMAN STRICK, THE SON OF A BITCH, TOOK DYLAN AWAY IN A CAR.

Mitchell: DEXTER, TELL THEM WHAT NORMAN DID.

Cop: I JUST NEED SOME INFORMATION FROM YOU, SIR,

AND WE CAN START THE SEARCH RIGHT AWAY.

SIR?

LOOK, WHO'S THIS MAN WHO TOOK HIM AWAY?

Festinger: HIS NAME IS NORMAN STRICK.

HE WALKS WITH A LIMP, USES A CANE,

AND HE LIVES RIGHT OVER THERE.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

HOW ARE YOU DOING, SON?

Jack: IT WAS GETTING TO BE HIS BEDTIME.

ALL I COULD THINK WAS THAT NORMAN

WAS JUST GOING TO PULL UP ANY SECOND WITH DYLAN,

JUST PULL UP OUTSIDE WITH AN ICE-CREAM CONE.

NO!

- AND YOU'RE HIS NEIGHBOR. - Jack: MR. FESTINGER

THOUGHT HE'D DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN.

HE THREATENED ME ONCE WITH A TREE BRANCH.

THE MAN BELONGS IN AN INSTITUTION.

I THINK HE'S A NAZI.

Jack: HE WAS THE REAL POISONER OF CHEYENNE.

WHY DIDN'T NORMAN STEAL EDWARD?

JOHN, YOU'RE ON.

YESTERDAY...

AT 5:00 P.M...

MY SON...

WAS TAKEN BY THIS MAN.

HIS NAME IS NORMAN STRICK.

HE'S IN HIS LATE 20s...

WALKS WITH A CANE.

HE WAS--

HE TOOK HIM IN A WHITE CAR.

MY NAME IS DETECTIVE JOHN MARKER

WITH THE OAKLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WE'RE ASKING YOUR HELP

IN LOCATING THIS MISSING CHILD.

HIS NAME IS DYLAN LEARY.

HE'S 3 1/2 YEARS OLD.

IT'S DARK DOWN THERE...

AND THERE ARE THINGS NOBODY...

WANTS TO MEET IN THE DARK.

WHETHER WE'LL COME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE...

HATING EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY...

I DON'T KNOW.

[THUNDER]

Leary: IT'S THE SAME ARGUMENT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Mom: I FEEL AS IF I AM RAISING--

IT'S LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.

...3 CHILDREN AND NOT 2.

OH, I'M A CHILD, IS THAT IT?

I DON'T PROVIDE FOR THIS FAMILY?

THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING.

YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME.

I DON'T GIVE YOU A GOOD LIFE HERE?

HUH? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

YOU CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE? THEN GET THE HELL OUT.

JACKIE, JACKIE, THEY FOUND DYLAN.

HE'S ALIVE.

EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME. I'M LOOKING FOR MY SON.

HE WAS LOST, HE WAS FOUND, HE'S SMALL.

HE'S DOWN THAT WAY TO YOUR RIGHT, MR. LEARY.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

BUDDY.

HI, BUDDY.

ARE WE ALLOWED TO KISS HIM?

YEAH.

KISS HIM.

Jack: THEY FOUND HIM IN THE WOODS

BY THE PIEDMONT RESERVOIR--

NOT MOLESTED, THE DOCTOR SAID,

JUST ABANDONED,

LEFT TO DIE IN THE MUD BY A CREEK.

I MYSELF WOULD HAVE DIED OF TERROR--

ALONE IN THE WOODS IN THE NIGHT IN THE RAIN

WITH MONSTERS ALL AROUND.

NORMAN HAD DISAPPEARED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH,

AND DYLAN HAD STOPPED TALKING--

FROM THE TRAUMA, THEY SAID.

Jack: AFTER 3 DAYS AND STILL NO WORDS,

THE DOCTORS DECIDED MAYBE HE SHOULD COME HOME

WHERE FAMILIAR OBJECTS MIGHT GIVE HIM SECURITY.

HOME.

HI.

HEY, PARTNER.

OH! LOOK AT THAT.

WELL, HERE I AM. WHERE COOKIES?

HERE ARE THE COOKIES.

Leary: WHO'S THAT? IS THAT BIG BIRD?

NO! WHO'S THAT? IS THAT COOKIE MONSTER?

ME WANT COOKIE.

IS THAT COOKIE, HUH, DYLAN?

Mumford: AND NOW OBSERVE AS I--

I DON'T WANT TO CALL YOU VINCE!

I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE A TEACHER

IF I CALL YOU MR. BUCCINI!

YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE UPSET, JACK.

THEN PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!

AND STOP PERSECUTING ME!

Jack: I COULDN'T GET BACK INTO THE WHOLE SCHOOL THING.

THE PLACE IS A MENTAL INSTITUTION.

BUT WHAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND

IS HOW COULD A PERSON LIKE ME,

WHO'S ALWAYS BEEN LOVED,

HATE SO MUCH?

JOHN.

I'M SO SORRY, JOHN.

YEAH.

HOW ARE YOU? ARE YOU OK?

- I'M OK. - HOW'S THE BABY?

HI, SWEETHEART.

DO YOU REMEMBER GRANDMA?

WE'VE BEEN SLEEPING TOGETHER IN HERE.

IT BROKE.

THAT OUGHT TO DO IT.

GOD DAMN IT. GOD DAMN IT!

- [WHIMPERING] - IT'S ALL RIGHT.

DYLAN, I'M NOT MAD AT YOU, HONEY.

I'M MAD AT THE BED.

DON'T MAKE HIM AFRAID OF HIS OWN BED, JOHN.

- SHUT UP! - [WHIMPERING]

DYLAN...

COME TO DADDY.

[WHIMPERING]

JOHN!

JOHN!

COME ON. THAT'S NOT GOING TO SOLVE ANYTHING.

WHERE IS HE?

- WHERE IS YOUR SON? - LET GO!

WHERE IS HE?

FOR GOD'S SAKE, JOHN!

THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE! THEY RAISED HIM!

THEY'RE GUILTY!

GO OUT OF HERE.

HE'S GONE AWAY.

HE'S GONE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
