Karpenter (2017) - full transcript

No. No. No. Everything is fine. Trust Me.

We have everything under control.

Yeah, I know he's criminally insane...

...but, we don't need to take him there.

He'll be just fine here.

Okay.

He's been more docile lately, actually.

But, we may do some more tests on him.

Trust me. Everything's
going to be just fine.

(A faint male scream
comes from another room.)

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No,
everything... Everything is great.

You know, I really need to start thinking
these through just a little bit more.

So?

Do you want to go to my
place? Maybe watch a movie?

Maybe.

As long as it's not a scary movie.

I don't know. I just don't
really like Halloween and...

....this time of year.

No. No. Yeah. It doesn't have to be scary.

Why don't you like Halloween?

Ah... it's stupid.

When I was a kid.

There was this man. I
would see him everywhere.

He had a mask and...

In my house. On the Street.

In the backyard. Just... I...
He was always there and...

I know it sounds crazy. It was
probably my imagination, but...

He was terrifying and... anyway I just...

It stuck with and...

I just don't like Halloween.

I'm also hoping that Mike is there.

You know, last time we hung out.

He was really giving me some vibes.

Like, flirting and flirting and flirting...

Sara?

SARA!!!

Sorry. I thought I saw a man
in a mask just standing outside.

Eww... creepy.

Well, it is Halloween, you know.
