stab stab stab etc

we just want you to find our little girl.

jesus! don't do that, honey.

if i got killed, would i come back as a ghost and get stuck in the house?

what are you saying?

some people believe that when you die your soul goes to heaven.

i think the storm's gonna pass us.

we've been trying to hold ourselves together as a family.

you fool.

are you gonna do anything about this?

you know what happens when you overfeed goldfish? they grow up to be.. sharks!

try not to worry.

oh, god, i love it when you talk dirty.

who are all those people?

you are so obnoxious! you drive me nuts!

no one's going in the kitchen till i know what's happening.

stifle it.

you bastard! she's just a baby!

i'm afraid of the light!

you don't have to live in the valley anymore.

i want pepperoni pizza.

we got a good football game going on here.

aren't you feeling any better?

honey, please, just tell her.

i don't care what you're watching.

don't touch me.

i feel a little hung over, like i've been asleep for a few days.

i got beat up once by three kids.

you know, once i slept-walked four blocks and i fell asleep in the back of this guy's car.

i just don't want to stay here!

a mosquito ever suck on you, son?

who the hell is this guy?

you should sit down.

breathe, honey, breathe.

we don't go in the room anymore.

those mosquitoes are something else, they're really chowing down.

no, don't touch my babies!

i want you to answer me!

it's an old tree, it's been around here a long time.

can you see me?

talk louder. i can't hear you.

when you dive off, it's like freefalling, okay?

oh, what a day.

how many disturbances have you recorded in the room?

i've told you guys to push your chairs in when you're done at the table.

she's gonna be all right.

jesus, you look like shit.

i've never sensed anything like it.

you know something? i think you're right.

when it rots, can we dig it up and see the bones?

what happened?

what the hell is this?

you're gonna give me whiplash looking up at you.

please answer me, baby.

i love you.

good night, angel.

i should warn you that we keep the room locked off from the rest of the house.

so we're leaving tonight for sure?

tell her to stay away from the light.

honey! come here! quick!

it's like another side of nature, a side we're not qualified to understand.

the storm's coming closer.

this is not good for you.

you got bit?

either i'm dead or i'm crazy.

don't scratch them. you'll infect them.

come and get it.

come here, honey.. and give me your hand.

come on, i'll show you the den.

i hate you for this.

that was lovely. lovely, honey.

i know what you're thinking, but you must take my word for it.

feel like going for a little ride?

i have this neighbor and he built a jacuzzi in his bedroom.

i just don't like trick answers.

so much rage, so much betrayal..

it knows too much already.

hauntings can go on for years.

i'm absolutely terrified.

i've never been bothered by them.

your hands were shaking about a mile a minute.

you'll be asleep by the time it gets here, if you hurry.

no one's been sleeping much.

did you do this?

i'm really embarrassed.

sweet-pea, it's daddy. come on, honey.

give me your hand!

i'm not gonna bite you.

you know, you were very funny.

i can't tell one house from the other.

no, i'm not kidding.

something took a bite out of me.

don't argue with mommy. come on.

now let's go get your daughter.

we were wondering if maybe you had experienced any disturbances lately.

we worked so hard for this.

are you happy here?

you know, we have a saying around here, the grass grows greener on every side.

hauntings don't usually revolve around living people.

i can't hear you!

honey, you're overfeeding them.

are you telling me that all of this could just suddenly end at any time?

honey, you're gonna ruin your eyes.

now i lay me down to sleep, i pray the lord my soul to keep.

as far as i know, nobody in my family's ever been affected by them.

what do you look like?

you must do what i say.

i'm not gonna leave anybody in this house alone.

look at this, honey.

when you see the lightning, you count till you hear the thunder. if you can count higher each time, that means the storm's moving away from us.

maybe it's a way out!

in fact, i don't think i've ever been bitten by one.

would you like a glass for that?

you don't think it's kind of punk?

come on, let's just do this once.

they're so lonely. so alone.

we're missing the game!

how could anyone in the world have a problem on a day like this?

poltergeist disturbances are of fairly short duration.

it's all the things that we don't understand.

who's with you, baby?

my kids want to watch mister rogers.

lift up your shirt. let's have a look.

you moved the cemetery but you left the bodies, didn't you?

she doesn't seem to remember any of it.

this house has many hearts.

clear your minds, it knows what scares you.

it's a very wise old tree.

come on. come on. hop up.

i'm still weak. i've got the flu.

boy, did i feel like a fool.

just show a little mercy with that thing!

we haven't even gone to the police.

they took my lunch money.

honey, could you move the chair out of the way and just stay down there?

some people die, but they don't know that they've gone.

poltergeists are usually associated with an individual.

god, i was so embarrassed.

what the hell is going on?

can i take my goldfish to school?

there's a big storm headed this way.

give me this before you cut yourself.

that's the last thing in the world we want.

will you come on down out of the tree, please?

you sure make good coffee.

hauntings seem to be connected with an area, a house, usually.

i'm sorry, but i had to say it.

i'm gonna go get something to eat.

is everything okay?

you're a big barf bag!

they won't let you in.

listen, partner, maybe we ought to get some shuteye, okay?

maybe they didn't want to die, maybe they weren't ready.

i'd like to show you something.

come on, i've never spanked the children.

we'll go to pizza hut, okay?

can i get a goldfish now?

no, don't go in there!

i'm the one who should be embarrassed, being here with you nice people.

you were saying about poltergeists?

help her! can't you hear what's happening? help her!

it's like there's this tickling, you know, right in here, and it starts to pull you.

i can't hear her anymore.

this house is clean.

we'll spend the night downstairs.

whatever happened to you?

want to try it?

tell her if she doesn't answer you, she'll get a spanking.

i bet my life on this game!

i wanna get out of my house.

you know, i appreciate you always coming with me. i know you'd probably rather be doing something else.

it's beautiful, isn't it?

thank you. god bless you.

never crossed my mind, thinking about that.

i wanna show you something.

they was just jealous.

make a wish before that candle burns out.

it is our delusions that lead us to sin.

whoo! that'll wake you up.

good gracious. it's hot, ain't it?

i've got the holy ghost in me!

it's the best present i ever got. thank you.

well, what's the problem then, son?

how about i buy you a candy bar, huh?

you piece of shit!

wonder if you'd consider selling me it.

it's bound to get hotter.

come on, give me a hand.

you want your mama to die?

where'd you go?

she might have come with us, if you'd paid her a little more attention.

be right back with you, hon.

i just thought, seeing as i was this way, i'd stop by and see the old place again.

that ain't an accident.

get some shots off down there while the light's still good.

i've been run through the wringer!

we could start over.

what did you do about it?

i ain't gonna take the blame for no bastard child!

now, you pray on..

god'll hear us.

you want another twinkie?

there's debt you owe me.

before i found the holy ghost, i was scared plumb to death of spiders.

better not be one of them goddamn window peepers you keep calling about.

i'm not doing that no more, you hear me?

now you remember what i told you?

you get it all in the cup?

she'd always been sort of fucked up.

oh, shit! hey, take it easy!

damn. that's gonna be one fine sunset.

here, let me have that.

so what kind of candy bar you gonna get, huh?

i'm thinking we take a walk, be fine to pray outside and adore them trees.

don't take her from me.

this spot looks about as good a place as any, don't it?

whatcha having, honey?

god dammit, boy.

i love you and i will always remember the things that you have done for me.

you sound like a christian.

you mean to tell me you're not gonna have a drink with a pretty little thing like her?

it seemed to his son that his father fought the devil all the time.

we gotta do something.

lord, that's good stuff.

hell, they having a little revival meetin'.

girl, you been crying?

from what folks tell me, they got a right good message.

you fucking around?

as far as everybody around here is concerned your daddy's probably still out there somewhere alive and kicking.

everything's gonna be okay.

he would do anything to protect her.

oh, it's so good to see you, honey.

he ain't a coward, he went and got himself killed.

why don't you take that hat off, boy.

what's this girl's name?

you stabbed your wife in the neck with a screwdriver, tried to bring her back from the dead and then buried her body.

wouldn't you take a piece of that?

he preached on it for years, but still didn't know what to expect.

i told you i don't like this anymore.

pray, god dammit.

we keep saving, we could probably buy it. wouldn't that be something?

the lord don't like dark places.

there should be a road somewhere up here on the right.

shut your mouth. we both know that ain't never gonna happen.

now, you pray on what happened today.

here, you give me that heavy old bag.

just be you and me, sweetheart.

i'm just gonna take my break outside.

i just want you to know that i ain't never forgot it.

well.. it was a rough time.

i've been watching your every move for the last couple weeks.

what's that smell?

i left her a dollar tip, though.

don't fuck with me!

ain't no human head big enough to calculate misery like that!

you're coming with me today, boy.

it wasn't that bad. it wasn't that bad.

that was good.

i figure he'd want you to have it.

get off the couch.

you can understand that, can't you?

you ain't losing nothing there.

when the man who puts extra money in your pockets asks why you're as red as a newborn baby, you tell him who the whore is.

there's no doubt, we're all humble people gathered here.

ol' jesus probably had his fair share of bad mornings.

i'm so ashamed.

i'll have to think about it.

what happened today. now, remember, be honest. no bullshittin', he'll know.

i bet he ain't got two nickels to rub together.

are you crazy?

do what i say, you son of a bitch.

what in the hell is this?

the holy ghost is going to visit this little church that bears his sacred name!

it wasn't my fault.

i forgot my damn keys.

that is a nice gift, though.

i was just looking the land over.

i got no rest from them devils!

he has lots of grass to play on now.

there's a lot of no good sons of bitches out there.

well, that's what i'm here for.

have you shown yourself as the lord made you?

i'm so sorry.

i was a runt, hiding under my mother's long skirts, spiders crawling through my dreams.

what is it you're most afraid of? hmm? because if your worst fear is rats, well.. satan'll make sure you get your fill of them.

how about we check into a motel?

they were gonna kill me, i swear.

don't be crying, you hear?

he's dead.

you're coming out back with me today, boy.

what you got there?

didn't you hear anything i said?

you know that she ain't hardly been out of her bed since the funeral?

can i come with you?

it should be a good thing, helping someone out.

i'm sorry for bringing it up.

i don't know if you have anywhere you gotta be but, uh.. maybe we can take a drive.

behold! the lord looks out for me now!

i'll take coffee if you got any.

so good to see you. thank you for coming.

there's a girl from church i want you to meet.

i might be gone a while.

i don't understand people that won't pick up strangers.

i was asleep.

well, she won't forget that.

got time for a sinner?

i've got an election to think about.

i just don't know much about the bible is all.

she got it in her head that i was the father.

once i'd had a taste, i just couldn't get enough.

please do not try and find me.

you know, we did him a favor.

you don't look too good.

it didn't have anything to do with you.

how can you be close to god stuck in there?

i know there's other things you wanna be doing probably.

your dinner's ready.

get the fuck out of my diner.

that was nice, what you did.

well, i ain't never got her name.

you got a new toy?

you're gonna kill him!

rent seems fair for what we get.

that's gonna cost me my money.

see that one in the wheelchair? drank too much strychnine or antifreeze, or something is why he can't walk.

he'd never win a fist fight, but he could recite the book of revelation in his sleep.

what do you want?

what i'm about to do, i do because i have to, not because i want to.

i never missed church before.

some people just need a little help once in a while, you know what i mean?

you ever go and beat the shit outta someone i made my money off?

i won't speak to nobody else.

i ain't no rush.

come on, you dumb son of a bitch.

he's just a preacher.

only in the presence of death could he feel the presence of something like god.

did you need anything else?

somebody left us a pie.

i hate to tell you this, but that place burned some years ago.

where you headed?

you still got the bullshit in you, ain't you?

what you got planned after school?

maybe that's where he belonged.

i had fear in me all the time, awake or asleep, didn't matter.

what's your name, sweetie?

you'll see them, eating away at you whilst you lay there unable to lift a single finger. and it won't ever cease.

he's gonna fuckin' kill him!

no, you go on and take another one.

you know i can't afford anything like that.

i'll be praying for you.

yeah, well, that ain't my problem.

some people were born just so they could be buried.

get out. i told you last time.

what the fuck is going on out here?

how's about we, uh.. go see your mama's grave when you're better? sound all right?

i got some things to do before we go home.

sorry i didn't come today.

come on out so we can have us a talk!

that sounds like a crazy person who killed his wife.

no sense in you napping in here like a house cat all day.

get the fuck off me!

don't eat my scraps.

that's your weekly earnings 'til we're square.

you have a nice face.

we got cozy rooms in the back if you need some company.

people like me in this town.

shit, i'm thinking now'd be a good time to pay his old lady a visit.

i never did have that.

if we stay off highways, we should be fine.

we're kin, we gotta look out for each other.

you back home from the war?

they got a little trigger, back there in their throat.

you take pictures?

come on and pray with me.

everything's from the bible, honey.

is everything all right?

you ain't got nothing to be ashamed of.

we're saving money to buy the house one day, so things are gonna be tight for a while.

huh? ain't she somethin'?

i've been thinking, maybe the lord wants you to come out into the light.

there was nothing to do but forget his sorry ass.

get the fuck out of here!

there's money to be made if a man of the law is careful and doesn't get a big head.

i don't like this gospel shit.

you look like you've been traveling.

do you really want these hands touching you?

will you get me some sugar?

you got a deposit to make, sir?

i'm just passing through.

maybe you should try praying for 'em then.

remember that night you brought me up here?

that preacher's a little flashy.

i gotta go check in on her, she ain't been feeling too good.

been a while, ain't it?

looks like you had a rough day.

there's just some things we can't understand.

you're so damn ugly, i'd need a sack over your head just to get a hard-on.

he came every morning and evening to talk to god.

i know. i felt the need to celebrate. i'm in love.

please save my wife.

i got no use for handguns myself.

i bet he just wanted them chicken livers all for his own self.

i'm giving you a good thing here, buddy.

it's nothing. i just get down sometimes.

are you not coming?

me losing money is gonna cost you your cut.

i know you like this waitress.

you got any candy?

you get some rest.

we didn't go to church much when i was a kid.

i'll get myself elected.

i've been doing wrong and i wanna get right by the lord.

y'all have been awful nice to me and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for the welcome.

what's going on here, mister?

i don't understand what you're talking about.

if we just pray hard enough the lord can do anything if you just ask him right.

son of a bitch has it coming.

we need your help, and i know you can do it.

don't you worry about that pus-gutted blowhard.

you'll feel better in the morning.

i would appreciate it if you all would try and make him feel welcome.

i told you, sweetie, it's only matter of time.

i wanna get some shots of your ugly old mug sitting next to a pretty lady.

hut the fuck up.

i don't wanna go to church.

oh, come on, sweetie.

i hear you! yes, i am here!

you've been spying on me, boy?

you touch my sister again, i'll kill you. do you understand me?

ain't no man ever been evil enough.

we'll sit out and drink some beer.

stop tearing my damn kitchen apart.

there's a quiet place i found i like to go and pray on things.

the girl's family burned up in a house fire leaving the poor thing all alone.

what the fuck you talking about?

why don't you just lie down on that blanket there on your side.

i got the urge to pray again.

is that blood on your face?

still thinking about that gun you showed me.

those little shits keep picking on him. it ain't right.

pray like you mean it.

i've never heard of such a thing.

not that you'd appreciate it, but tears make for a good photograph.

i'm saying you must be crazy.

i ain't prayin'!

why don't you put the gun down and we can talk all about it.

you're gonna fuck my wife and i'm gonna take some pictures, that's all.

the spirit will take away your fears if you're willing!

i'm gonna scramble some eggs. you want some?

i've done.. lustful acts.

envy. brings out the worst in people.

maybe we should just get out of here.

we are so happy you're here.

oh, no, i'm not scared!

them boys might be bigger than you. but the next time one of them starts his shit, i want you to finish it. you understand?

sorry to come by so early, i was on my way to work and i thought i might chew your ear.

don't you touch that fuckin' camera there, son.

i got me a pretty wife at home.

we'll just take a few pictures and then the big dumb bastard will leave us alone.

i remember everything about that night.

don't act like you do nothing wrong.

i know you're down there somewhere!

i could tell the police what happened, that it was an accident.

what can i get ya?

roll up your window.

oh, lord, i was so worried.

shotgun's what'll do you good.

lord knows where a person who ain't saved might end up.

anyway, everyone says ain't no one doesn't like you, you know that.

you might not even be an orphan.

i never been so embarrassed in all my life.

mister, i do appreciate this.

where'd you hear that?

i know what my daddy did.

well, what is it, son?

what about your father?

don't fuckin' lie to me!

i never got your name.

hon, give me the key.

this photo really meant something to him.

what the hell is this?

god had a tendency of asking men to make sacrifices in order to prove their faith.

i was like you when i was your age.

i'm sure the lord will forgive you for missing one sunday.

don't you worry none.

you don't drink?

i would ask you to get down and thank jesus with me, but i can smell the liquor on your breath.

what you think?

get down there.

i ain't gonna sleep tonight as it is.

i don't wanna shoot you! put the gun down!

he's as bad as they got on the damn radio.

she ever puke on you?

you think that guy lied to me?

that's right. don't y'all worry about me. maybe i oughta take me a nap.

i've already forgiven him.

now, that's what hell is like!

don't do anything you'll regret, son.

you know what would do you good?

i didn't think anybody was gonna pick me up.
