this summer,

none of it really happened, it’s a bullshit ghost story.

i hate this. i really hate this.

nobody drives my car but me.

come ride in the back with me, i’ll let you do things to me.

you can’t drive for shit, you know that?

what’s wrong with you?

what was that?

maybe it was an animal.

oh my god, you’re bleeding.

it must have been a dog or something.

fuck!   can’t you see where you’re going?

look, it came out of nowhere, i didn’t see it.

a dog couldn’t have done that.

oh my god, this isn’t happening ...

is he dead ... ?

check his pulse.

i think he’s dead.

use your brain   [ name ] ,   we call the police and we’re fucked.

we can clean it up, come on.

like, just pretend we were never here.

shit, they’re slowing down. who is it?

yeah, don’t drink and drive.

you can wipe that   “ my shit don’t stink ”   grin off your face.

you almost got that rich boy act down.

i don’t want to know.

shit, we agreed.

god, come on   [ name ] ,   it’s not too late.

you shut up   —   just shut up.

christ already, i’ll do it.

let’s get out of here.

we’re going home now and never, ever, under any circumstances known to god, speak about this again. is that clear?

we make a pact, right here. and now we take this to our grave.

well then, what is wrong?   i mean, you look like death.

it’s not that serious, really.

i mean, you went away and you don’t call and you don’t visit.

who sent this?   there’s no postmark or return address.

it’s good to see you.

somebody sent this to me.

somebody knows,   [ name ] .

what if somebody saw us?   what if somebody else was there that night?

we need help.

you’re a prick.

we can’t just ignore it.

you shut the hell up!   we didn’t murder anyone.

he was still alive.

you wait here.

what are you gonna do?

i know what i’m doing.

hey, listen, can we talk for a sec?   in private?

don’t fuck with me,   [ name ] .

listen, i’m gonna say this once: i’ll fucking kill your ass, i’ve got no problem with that—!

motherfucker. don’t you test me, motherfucker, i’ll call the cops on your college quaterback ass.

he won’t bother you anymore.

i took care of it, okay?

that’s nice. have a nice life guys, i’m out of here.

look, he’s probably just screwing around.

i know you hold me responsible for what happened.

i don’t blame you. but i don’t want to know you either.

i couldn’t see his face.

we have no choice here, okay?   somebody tried to kill you last night.

if he wanted me dead, he could’ve done it.

he’s just fucking with us.

this isn’t getting us anywhere.

no. we made a pact and we’re keeping it.

look at us, this secret’s killing us.

i want you to get something, there is no you and me.

i remember that wreck two summers ago.

what do we have to lose?

don’t you think we should have some sort of a plan?   angela lansbury always had a plan!

what if they recognize us?

they could have a gun and shoot us dead.

adding breaking and entering to our crime spree?

hi, my car stalled down the road and i was just wondering if maybe i could use your phone ?

your name,   [ name ]   ...   it sounds very familiar.

things just haven’t been the same since he died.

i don’t get too many knocks on my door nowadays.

hey !   you forgot your cigarettes.

maybe he wanted to die.

yeah if that’ll help you sleep at night.

what happened between us?   we used to be best friends.

we used to be a lot of things.

i miss you.

it’s tradition, there’s nothing i can do about it.

you and your hair, it’s so pathetic.

are you sure he was dead?

where’d he go?   did the crabs carry him away?

come on,   [ name ] ,   let’s go back to the house?

what are you waiting for, huh?   what are you waiting for?!

i’ve been looking everywhere for you guys.

you’re gonna die.

hey—   hey, stop it.

i didn’t do anything.

[ name ]   is dead?

stop it!   look, we have to stick together, alright?   we have to help each other.

so that’s him, huh?   hard to believe that’s the guy.

i don’t want him to show up.

this could be our chance. we could catch him.

whatever he’s planned is going to happen today, unless we stop him.

let’s get the hell out of here!   we can leave town, disapear.

i’ve already disapeared, okay?   now i want my life back.

what are you doing here?

now, what’s this all about?

he left a note.

this is a death threat.

get out of here. get out of my house.

everything’s gonna be alright. i’m not gonna let anything happen to you.

help him, he’s gonna kill him—!

he was here.

why don’t you let me take you home, okay?

look, okay, i know i sound delusional, but it’s true.

we’re gonna have to take the alley.

he was probably just playing a prank on you

oh, jesus, listen, i’m just gonna be a minute, alright?   i’m gonna see if this guy needs help.

that’s him, behind you—!   behind you!

please, open the door, jesus christ, now!

lock the other door, i’ll call the police.

just do what i say, god dammit.

[ name ] ?   [ name ] ?   [ name ] ,   where are you?

what if he’s still alive?

you. oh my god, it’s you.

you in some kind of trouble?

yes, yeah, i’m in a lot of trouble.

that’s a shame. kids like you should be out having fun, drinking, partying, running people over, getting away with murder ... things like that.

open the door,   [ name ] .   you got no place to hide

i know all about accidents and let me give you some advice: when you leave a man for dead, make sure he’s really dead.

a mix of arguments, tension, manipulation, gossiping, fighting, & general emotional messiness!

you  weren't  supposed  to  hear  that.

don't  look  at  me  like  i'm  the  only  one  lying.

want  to  tell  them,  or  should  i?

you  think  i  don't  know  what  you  did?

i've  hit  people  for  less.

oh,  i  thought  you  already  knew.

that's  funny,  you  didn't  say  that  last  night.

say  that  again.  i  dare  you.

you  wanna  talk  about  loyalty?

no  offense,  but  if  you're  the  last  to  know,  that's  on  you.

go  ahead  -  pretend  like  it  wasn't  your  idea!

they  deserve  to  know  the  truth.

you  didn't  hear  this  from  me,  but  -

oh,  so  now  you  care?

don't  flatter  yourself.  you  were  just  convenient.

you  crossed  a  line.

we  had  bets  on  how  long  it  would  last.

it's  not  even  a  secret  anymore.

you  don't  get  to  cry  about  it  now.

touch  me  again  and  see  what  happens.

say  it  again.  louder  this  time.

you  really  thought  nobody  would  find  out?

don't  act  so  innocent.

okay,  but  am  i  the  villain  for  laughing?

tell  me  who  else  knows.  right  now.

this  whole  time,  and  you  didn't  say  a  word?

don't  act  brave  now.

you're  really  gonna  do  this  here?

it  wasn't  supposed  to  get  this  far!

you  can't  rewrite  history.

oh,  i'd  never  say  it  to  their  faces.

it  was  supposed  to  stay  between  us.

we're  all  thinking  it,  i  just  said  it.

you're  not  as  untouchable  as  you  act.

do  you  even  feel  guilty?

they  warned  me  about  you.

go  ahead,  make  it  worse.

if  you  repeat  this,  i'll  deny  everything.

the  next  thing  out  of  your  mouth  better  be  an  apology.

you're  about  three  seconds  away  from  regretting  this.

you  keep  pushing,  and  i'll  push  you  back.

they're  going  to  find  out.

one  more  lie,  and  i  walk.

they're  lying  to  you.

you  need  to  back  off.  now.

you're  defending  them?  after  everything?

don't  try  to  hide  it.

tell  me,  was  i  just  a  placeholder?

you  really  think  sorry  fixes  this?

there's  nothing  left  to  say.

don't  act  like  you're  the  one  hurting.

i  don't  owe  you  any  explanation.

whatever  helps  you  sleep  at  night.

you  should've  seen  this  coming.

i  hope  it  was  worth  it.

i  told  the  truth.  just  not  all  of  it.

you'll  miss  me  before  i  miss  you.

smile.  you're  ruining  the  mood.

i'd  watch  that  tone  if  i  were  you.

it's  not  my  fault  you  believed  me.

you  have  such  a  talent  for  pretending  you're  innocent.

we  both  know  this  is  over.

i  never  said  i  was  a  good  person.
