To All a Goodnight (1980) - full transcript
It's Christmas break at the Calvin Finishing School for Girls, and the students are planning a big party while the president of the school is away. A group of boys show up and the fun begins, until mysterious killer starts bumping off couples one by one. The police show up and promise to keep everyone safe, but they prove ineffectual against the crazed psycho. Could the killings have anything to do with the girl who was killed in an initiation stunt at the school a few years earlier?
[roaring]
[suspenseful music]
[festive music]
-Sorority, sorority!
[chatter]
[a girl]
Let's cut her head off!
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
[a girl - intercom]
On behalf of the
staff and myself,
I would sincerely like
to wish all those students
leaving for Christmas vacation
a pleasant journey,
and the happiest
of holidays.
I would also like
to take this opportunity
to thank those parents
who have contributed
so generously to the school
recreation and chapel fund.
-You have to stop
being this way!
You have to!
-Vivian.
Vivian, the game!
Vivian!
-All right, Harry!
-Will you hurry up, already?
I spend a fortune
to send this kid here,
you wanted to get her,
okay, we got her,
now let's put her in a bag
and get out of here.
Hey. A fortune I spent
on the 50-yard line.
A fortune I spent
on 50 yards,
and you're going to wrap it
all the way.
Wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap,
wrap. You and that kid.
The two of you, you're going
to drive me nuts.
-Take good care of him, okay?
-Oh, I will.
[the principal - intercom]
If somebody has their underwear
hanging on the south line
with a blue stain,
they better remove them...
-Bye.
-See you in two weeks.
-Bye.
-Buy some milk, okay?
Bye.
[a girl - intercom]
Attention.
I think it would be proper,
at this time,
on behalf of myself and the rest
of the student body,
to give Mrs. Cowper's
retirement attention
to this educational facility,
and to wish her
the happiest of holidays
and a quick,
safe return.
-You suck up!
[a girl - intercom]
Get away from that!
-Have a good time.
If you have the chance,
bring me back
a couple presents.
-Men.
-Okay.
-Okay, have a good time.
[a girl - intercom]
Attention.
Because of delay in the
day, Mrs. Jensen says
that dinner will
be delayed 30 minutes.
And we'll be eating in the peer
dining room, instead of
the main dining room,
which will be closed
during the holidays.
Stop that!
-Bye bye!
[radio chatter]
[romantic music]
-Do you know where I wish
I was spending Christmas?
-In a funny hutch.
-I'd rather spend Christmas
in a cave
than with my mother
and her freaky artist friends.
[Trisha]
A cave?
That's going a bit far,
don't you think?
-Not if you knew her mother.
-I wish I was going home.
-You would.
-Come on now, girls,
dinner's ready.
-All right!
Hey, Mrs. Jensen,
what did you fix?
[Mrs. Jensen] Stew and
for dessert, cherry pie.
-Oh!
-My favourite.
-Anything you can get
your hands on
is your favourite.
-Shove it.
-Any particular place,
sweetheart?
-Sex freak.
-Oh, I thought I had
that title wrapped up.
-You shouldn't let
the others get to you.
-They don't.
Not really.
-Come on, let's eat,
I'm starved.
[suspenseful music]
-Now you can start.
-Smells great,
Mrs. Jensen.
-Oh, thank you, Nancy.
Mrs. Calvin called.
She won't be back
until after the weekend.
Her mother's ill.
Poor woman.
She says to be good,
and not to get
into any trouble.
In the meantime,
I'll be looking out
after you.
-Great!
I couldn't have planned this
better if I tried.
-Planned what?
-Shh, keep your voice down,
or Jensen will hear you.
-Well, is somebody going
to tell us something?
Or are we just going to sit here
until we start laying eggs?
-Something's going
to get laid.
-What time are they coming?
-Go ahead, Leia, tell them.
-T.J. is coming up with
a few of his friends tonight.
-Oh, how nice.
-Pass the stew.
He's flying.
-You're telling me.
-And his father's
playing stupid.
He called me
this morning.
"And with Mrs. Calvin
gone for the weekend,
you're going to have
one hell of a time!"
-In that case, then,
I suppose
I'll tidy up
a little bit.
-Who's he bringing
with him?
-I don't know,
he didn't say.
-Now, the pie.
It's for dessert.
Where's Cynthia?
-Oh, she wasn't feeling well,
so she went up to bed early.
-Oh.
Maybe I should take
something up to her.
-She said
she wasn't hungry.
-Cynthia!
Cynthia?
[suspenseful music]
Cynthia!
-Paul?
Paul, is that you?
[Paul]
Yeah!
Hurry up, come on.
Come on, let's go!
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
[muffled]
No, no!
God, no!
-Have you no pride at all?
-How would you like this
in a very delicate place?
-Come on, you two,
shut down.
What time are they coming?
[Leia]
Midnight.
-Oh God.
Bless whoever built
that airstrip.
-God bless airplanes.
[suspenseful music]
[screaming]
-I think I'm going crazy.
[Melody]
What's the matter?
-Not enough pie.
[laughing]
[Melody]
Now why didn't I think of that?
-I just thought
I saw something outside.
-Keep watching.
Any minute now,
eight tiny reindeer
are going to be coming along,
and one of them is going
to have a shiny red nose.
-You better lay off
the junk food, kid,
you're beginning to have
sugar hallucinations.
-I know I saw it.
I think.
-I think I'll go
get a Kleenex.
-Bring me some perfume,
will you?
The Chanel.
-Okay.
-I saw it.
[humming]
-Where are you? Aha!
Great!
Oh, Jesus, you scared
the hell out of me!
-Miss Samantha has me
looking on the plants.
-Uh-huh.
-It's our duty
to take care of the plants.
-Yeah.
-Got put them here to
give us pleasure.
-Yeah, yeah, uh...
Excuse me.
Oh, by the way,
Mrs. Jensen cooked up
some cherry pie and stew.
Better hurry on down before it's
all gone.
-I like cherry pie.
-Yeah.
You and Nancy both.
-I like Nancy too.
-Oh dear,
so much stew left over.
-Oh, it's Fast Ralph.
What's happening,
sibling?
-Hello, girls.
[laughing]
-I think he used
to be a gargoyle
on the south side
of Notre Dame.
That's the stuff!
-Hello, Ruth.
-Oh, hello, Tina.
-Ralph.
-You look wonderful.
-Oh yeah, real great,
real great.
By the time those butchers
get through with me,
I'll be nothing
but leftovers.
I brought some cannoli.
-Oh!
-What's cannoli?
-Here, Ralph,
put it in the fridge.
-So, what did
the doctors say?
-They have to perform
the bypass.
20 years I'm riding
my bicycle.
Best exercise in the world,
they tell me.
They have to perform
a bypass.
-Don't you go worrying now,
everything's gonna be all right.
-All right, my foot.
I'm going to die!
We all gotta die.
I know I'm gonna die.
Death is no stranger to me.
I buried three husbands.
So you think
that's so bad?
After the third one,
it's just a piece of cake.
-Mrs. Jensen, have we got
a surprise for you!
Oh hello, Mrs. Ranzini...
Ranzoni.
-A surprise, for me?
-Yes, the girls and I
have decided
that we're going to do
all the dishes
and the cleaning up.
We insist that you go
to bed early,
and leave everything to us.
Now you just go on,
and I'll fix you
some nice hot milk
and I'll bring it to you.
-Oh, Leia, I don't know...
-Well I do,
now you just go on.
It's about time you get
a good night's sleep.
-Good night.
-Good night.
-Good night, Ralph.
Sleep tight.
-I don't know how you stand
that big gazock around here.
He gives me the creeps.
-Oh, Ralph's a good boy.
He means well.
And he's very handy.
-I'm putting milk on, now.
[Tina]
You shouldn't working here,
Ruth, with all those rich,
pompous bitches.
Living out here
in the middle of nowhere.
-Something goes wrong,
you think they're going to tell
the house mother?
[Ruth]
Now, Tina.
They're good girls!
-I'll be back in a moment,
you go on to bed!
Good night, Mrs. Ranzoni.
-So, did you pull it off?
-Of course!
She's on her way
to bed and sweet dreams.
-Are you sure that stuff
is going to work?
-Oh yeah, yeah, she'll sleep
for ten or 12 hours.
Guaranteed.
She may even sleep forever.
-I wonder
what she dreams of.
-Oh who cares, as long
as she doesn't bother us.
Nancelina!
-What?
-You are going
to give her the milk.
Well, you're the only one
she won't suspect
of being underhanded!
[sigh]
-Why do I always have
to do all the dirty work?
-Because.
-I have to go, now, Ruth.
You really should think
about doing something more
with your life.
-Now you take care
of yourself, Tina.
Let me know if there's
anything you need.
-Not unless you've got
any spare bodies laying around.
Listen, I'll stop in
on my way back
from Mrs. Willaby's.
That is, if the grim reaper
doesn't come calling.
-I appreciate the cannoli.
Thank you.
-Yeah, thanks!
[suspenseful music]
-Mrs. Jensen?
-Oh, hi Nancy.
-Hi, I brought you your milk.
-Oh, that's awfully sweet
of you girls.
-Well, it's the least
we can do for you.
You've been so nice to us.
-You go to bed early,
and be good.
-We will.
Good night!
-Good night!
Pleasant dreams!
[Nancy]
You too!
[suspenseful music]
-I think I can hear the plane.
-Yeah, come on,
we better hurry,
maybe we can hit them
with our flashlights!
-Hey, I thought they weren't
supposed to be here
until midnight.
-So they're early,
more time for fun.
-Oh, Ralph.
-You shouldn't be out here
at night like this.
It's dangerous.
-Oh, it's all right, Ralph.
Some of Leia's friends
are coming up.
-Well, you can
take my flashlight.
-Thank you.
-I want you to be safe.
-Hurry it up, hurry it up,
we've been waiting!
-Hey guys,
ransacking time, let's go!
-Stop it!
-Varying things, of course.
-Of course?
You're late!
-This isn't
scheduled airlines!
-No lie!
-Okay.
I'm ready!
-What do you want,
what do you want?You silly twit!
[moaning]
-Well worth the flight.
-Hey, here I am.
-We waited a hell
of a lot longer
than you did, dickhead
Should have used reindeer!
-Didn't you hear?
-About what?
-They're on strike this year.
Something about wanting
their own union.
-Oh, you're crazy!
-You're cute.
-Tally-ho!
-Thanks, master T.J.!
-Stay with the plane, okay?
-We've got room for him.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
-I don't.
Stay with the plane.
-Yes, sir!
[giggling]
-Nancy, what are you
doing here?
-Looking for you.
-Well you found us,
now come on!
-Someone remember
to come back later
and get the luggage.
-Yeah, kid.

[guitar music]
-I don't sing so good.
-That was beautiful.
You know, I've often
thought of taking up the guitar.
-It beats carrying around
a piano.
[metal creaking]
[suspenseful music]
-You know,
there was a time
when doctor's couldn't take
an X-ray picture of the brain
because the cranium
was so thick, the only way
they could get the
X-ray to take a picture of an
abnormality was to
inject with coloured dyes
or air bubbles.
-I hope I never get sick.
-By the time you're 30,
we should have
most things licked.
Except accidents.
-I'll go get us a
couple of beers.
-Hurry.
-Don't be impatient!
It's going to be
a long night.
-And now we have this new
computerized head scanner
that can now show us...
-Alex.
You're going to bore
this sweet young thing to death.
-Am I boring you to death?
-No.
I'm enjoying it, really.
-Lady, you have a hell
of a high pain threshold.
-Excuse me.
[suspenseful music]
-Tom?
Will you stop
messing around?
And seduce me like a man?
Oh Tom,
take that bloody mask off.
Take me to bed.
[muffled screaming]
[dramatic music]
-You should be in bed.
-Well, um...
We're just having
a little party, Ralph.
-It's late,
and you should be in bed.
-I will.
-And lock your door, too.
I want you to be safe,
Nancy.
There's evil here.
I can feel it, the...
the devil's here.
-Don't worry, Ralph,
I will.
Good night.
[guitar music]
-That was
a wonderful song.
Who's it about?
-I wrote it
for my little brother
when he was born.
-Where the hell is Trisha
with the beer?
-Maybe she left you.
[laughing]
[imitating English accent]
-With my charm?
No chance.
[laughing]
-Tom sure is funny.
[suspenseful music]
-Trisha?
Oh, Trisha?
Come on,
miss high society.
Get your act together!
I'm in no mood
to play hide and seek!
[dramatic music
and screaming]
-You were supposed
to wait for me!
I was going to put on
something really sexy
and drive you crazy!
-You're already
driving me crazy.
[screaming]
[laughing]
-Oh!
-Hm!
-Trisha?
[suspenseful music]
Trisha!
Trisha?
[dramatic music]
[groaning]
[suspenseful music]
-Hey, where is everybody?
-Gone to bed, or wherever.
-It doesn't sound
like a bad idea to me.
-Not a bad idea at all.
Come on, James.
Time to put
your measurable knowledge...
to work.
-Well, I think you better
show me to my room.
-Exactly what I had in mind.
-I think I had too
much to drink.
-Half a beer?
-Uh-huh.
-You wouldn't be chickening out
on me, would you?
-Well...
-Come on, Einstein.
It's time for
your advanced course...
in relativity.
-All right!
What?
-You're going to have
to catch me first!
I'm the fastest girl
in school!
-Yeah, I'll bet.
-That wasn't what I meant.
-It'll do, won't it?
-Maybe...
-Let's find out!
[panting]
-You're out of breath!
-You're going to wear me down,
then I'll be useless.
[Sam]
Come on, a big,
strong boy like you?
-Big, yes, but strong?
Not if we keep this up!
[groaning]
Oh, my back!
Help me!
-You're faking it!
-That's what my high school
coach used to tell me.
This better be
worth the chase.
-It will be.
-Sit still.
[heavy breathing]
-We can't do this here.
-Why not?
-Other people might come in.
-Are you kidding?
They're all out
for the night.
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
[humming]
[screaming]
[laughing]
-You see that wall
over there?
You're going to drive me
straight up it.
-Oh, we've never done it
on the wall before!
-No, we haven't.
Well, we've done it
everywhere else.
-Come on, tiger.
-Hey, wait a minute.
Time out, coach.
-What?
Oh, time out?
You have drunk
all the wine.
-How about you grab us
a couple of beers?
-Oh, energy for the troops, eh?
-It's me, the troops!
-All right!
You just lie there
and be comfortable, fly boy.
Let me take care
of everything.
[T.J.]
Come here, you.
I'm going to get you!
[Leia]
You know, you've been around
the high altitude too long.
You sure you still want
that beer?
[T.J.] You know what I want?
[Leia]
Yes, sir!
[gasping]
Jesus, you scared me!
-Sorry.
-What are you doing,
haunting the halls?
-I was just on my way
to get some milk.
-Come on.
I need to get some beer
for the troops.
-Okay.
-Man, this is the best vacation
I've ever had.
I'm gonna marry this one.
-That's kind of
a sudden decision.
-Honey, his fortune
is too much to count.
And besides, he's not so bad
in the sack, either.
Not the best, mind you,
but not the worst.
[suspenseful music]
You doing okay?
-Sort of.
-Don't worry,
your time will come.
In the meantime,
here's your milk.
-Thanks.
Ick!
-Ew!
-Blood...
-Fast Ralph probably
cut himself with the shears.
Well, see you later cat,
I gotta reel this sucker in.
[suspenseful music]
[screaming]
-Sorry.
-It's you.
-I just came
to get a drink.
-I have some milk.
-Fine.
Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-Good night.
-Good night.

[grunt]
[screaming]
[Nancy]
What are you doing here?
-Shh.
Something is wrong.
Something is happening here.
-What do you mean, Ralph?
-Miss Nancy,
I'm a man of the land.
And I know y'all think
I don't know much.
But I know
when something is wrong.
You've gotta watch yourself.
-Don't come
any closer, Ralph.
-You're the only one,
out of all of them...
You're the only one.
I like you, Nancy.
And I want you
to be all right.
You must pray.
Pray so the devil
won't claim you
for one of his own.
I'll be with you.
I'll take care of you,
I promise.
-Good night, Ralph.
-Good night, miss Nancy.
And pray, please!
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
[muttering]
-Well?
Do you like it?
-Measurement...
It's very nice.
-Nice?
-Uh-huh.
-That's the best you can do?
-Well, what I mean is
it's very nice.
-Do you know
how much this cost?
-No.
-A fortune.
And you don't like it.
-No, I mean,
I like it, really.
-Really?
-Really.
-You've never done it before,
have you?
-Done what?
-You know.
-Oh, of course I have.
-Of course you haven't.
-Well, I almost did, once.
-Imagine, I get to do
a first timer.
Come here, you.
-I'm all right here.
-You'll be better over here.
-I really have to be
going to bed.
-Exactly where
I'm trying to put you.
-Well, what I mean is...
[clatter]
-I know what you mean.
Now come here.
Come on.
Who buys your shorts?
-I do.
-They're awful.
-Oh, I'm sorry!
[laughing]
Oh, God.
-I'll be changing that
to "oh, Melody."
-Oh, Melody.
-Oh what?
-Oh, nothing.
-Oh my.
-Oh my God.
Oh dear.
[suspenseful music]
I think the Rams
are definitely
going to win the pennant.
[laughing]
[T.J.]
What's gotten into you?
That's the first
time I heard you talk about
anything besides
X-rays and molecules.
-I'm not so sure you
boys should be staying here.
It's not allowed, you know.
-Oh, we didn't mean
to stay so long.
As soon as we repair
the plane...
we're out of here!
-You look so young
to be flying an airplane.
[laughing]
-I mean, heck, my father
taught me to fly
when I was 18.
-Besides, he brought a pilot.
-Well, I hope
you get it fixed.
Because it's not allowed
by school rules
for you guys
to stay overnight, you know?
The superintendent's
gonna be back tomorrow
and she's going to be
very angry.
-Don't worry,
we'll be out of here
as soon as possible.
-Mrs. Jensen,
did you sleep well?
-Oh.
Yes, thank you.
-Hey, where are the others?
[T.J.]
Oh, who cares?
Who needs them?
I'm having a good
enough time without them.
[Leia]
Probably still crashed out.
-Listen, I've got
a dynamite idea.
-I thought you were tired?
-Wise guy, huh?
It's a dynamite day,
let's have a picnic.
-I like it!
We can play some football
or something.
-Or something?
Everybody has
this something on their mind.
-Don't get carried away,
Tarzan.
Not yet, anyway.
[kissing noise]
[laughing]
[T.J.]
Oh, don't tell me
the whizz kid finally scored.
What did she say
her name was?
Melody, huh?
That's one interesting tune.
-I can go get the others.
-Yeah, tell them
to hurry up.
-Trish, Sam?
Is anybody home?
[screaming]
-Oh, brother,
have you changed.
-Your fault.
-Fault? I thought it was
a beautiful gesture.
-Oh it was, and
I'll never be the same.
-Good.
-Hey, come back here!
-Come and get me!
[Alex]
Oh, you asked for it.
[T.J.]
I wonder what the hell
happened to Tom and Trisha.
[Leia] Oh, I don't
know, they're probably
lost in the woods.
I promised them
a good time.
-Well, I'm sure
they're having a good time.
-I think I'm going
to go for a walk.
-Now, don't get
into any trouble.
-Fat chance.
-Hey, Nance?
-Huh?
-Don't sweat it.
You'll get lucky
sooner or later.
-You sure have a way
with words.
-Did I say something wrong?
-Well, you could have kept
your mouth shut.
-Can I help it if
she's so damn sensitive?
-T.J., sometimes you can be
such a horse's ass.
-Yeah?
That's not what you said
last night.
-I change
when the sun comes up.
-Hm!
-Uh-huh.
[imitating Romanian accent]
-Dracula's daughter?
[laughing]
Yes!
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
-Gonna get you!
[gasping]
Oh, hey, don't get mad.
I was just having fun.
-It's okay.
-What you doing?
-Walking.
-Oh.
-You're cute.
-No I'm not.
-Yes you are!
-No, I'm not.
-Yes, you are.
-No I'm not!
[groaning]
Alex, don't.
Alex!
You're crazy!
[screaming]
-Thanks for your help.
But from the way
Kramer was found,
it's obvious what happened.
-Who would ever want
to kill Ralph Kramer?
-That's what
I'm going to find out.
I'm gonna have to get in touch
with the other kids, and...
probably contact their parents.
-Hey, do you have
to do that?
It's going to be
a bit awkward, you see,
they think
we're somewhere else.
-Are you serious?
Christ's sake.
-Hey man, look,
whoa, hold on!
Can't you keep us
out of it?
We're going to wind up
in a lot of trouble
if our parents find out
about this!
Anyway, we didn't kill
the old nut!
-I appreciate
your dilemma, son.
But a man's been murdered.
Do you understand me?
Now, does anyone else know
where the others might be?
-Please, if anyone
knows anything,
tell the officer.
This is very serious.
-Look, I know
you might feel
you need to protect
the others,
but think of this.
There's been
one murder already.
There might be others.
For Christ's sake, your friends
might be in trouble!
Come on.
-Mister Polansky,
if we knew anything,
we'd tell you.
But we don't.
You don't think
they could've killed Ralph?
[Polansky]
Everybody's a suspect, miss.
I just want to know
where they are.
My men have
searched this place
with a fine-toothed comb
and haven't come up
with anything.
-What do you think
could have happened to them?
-I don't know.
But I sure as hell
am going to find out.
Been a cop
for all my life.
Been chief of police here
for almost a year
and I haven't had a case
I couldn't figure.
I don't intend this
to be the first.
[Ruth]
We'll do anything we can
to help you, officer.
And the superintendent
will be back tomorrow.
I know she can help you.
-I'm going to leave
two of my men here
around the clock.
I want you
to stay indoors
so I can locate you
at a moment's notice.
Understand?
-Mister Polansky?
-Yes?
-I'm really scared.
I may be crazy,
but I'm really scared.
Ralph came into
my room last night,
and he told me that...
I don't know, he was just
like preaching religion to me.
-Oh, he was always
running about...
-No Leia!
He told me that
something evil was happening.
And I should have
told somebody.
-You can't hold yourself
responsible.
Can you foresee the future?
-That doesn't make me
feel any better.
-I know.
I know.
I did some checking
on Kramer.
He spent some time
in a mental hospital.
Two accounts
of armed robbery,
assault with a deadly weapon.
He didn't exactly hang around
with a gentle crowd.
I'll check on some
of his old friends,
maybe they had something
against him.
I promise.
I'll check on him.
If anything comes up...
or you find
anything important,
give me a call!
Bye, Ruth.
Sorry to inconvenience you.
Remember.
Stay indoors tonight.
And make sure this place
is locked up tight.
-What we all need
is a good hearty meal.
I'll start dinner.
-Something's happened
to the others, I know it!
-Oh, come off it!
Just because weird Ralph
got himself murdered
doesn't mean something
happened to the others.
-Look, Leia's right, don't go
getting crazy for nothing.
-Leia's wrong.
-What do you mean?
[Alex]
Just what I said,
Leia's wrong.
They wouldn't split
without telling someone.
Maybe not me,
but certainly T.J.
-Man, don't start
getting weird on me.
[Alex]
It's not weird!
It's just a fact.
-Who do you think you are,
Sherlock Holmes?
-I wish I was.
Then I wouldn't be
so preoccupied for my life.
-I knew we were in trouble.
-Maybe Mrs. Jensen has some
ideas.
-Are you kidding?
She's lost
outside the kitchen.
-We've gotta do something.
-What?
-I don't know.
-Oh, we're all worried
about nothing.
They'll be back any minute!
At least, that's what I think.
And if you're smart,
you'll think the same.
-I don't know what to think.
-Man, this whole thing sucks.
-Alex?
Do you really believe
we're in danger?
-Yes.
-Why?
-I already told you.
-Just because
the others didn't come back?
-They're never coming back.
-I don't believe this!
You're all crazy!
-I believe you.
-I wish I was wrong.
-Oh, me too.
-I'm sorry I scared you
this afternoon.
-It's okay.
-You must have been
really scared.
-I was.
-I won't let anything
happen to you, I promise.
-I'm scared.
-Me too.
[Polansky]
Hey, you two, come here.
I want this place patrolled
around the clock, all right?
You figure out
your own schedule.
If anything goes wrong,
I want you to know
that I'm going
to have you transferred
to the middle of the desert.
-Don't worry
about it, chief,
we'll take care of it.
-Okay, okay,
one other thing, wrap.
You know, the people that send
their kids to this school,
they have a lot of
political power.
So you put your hands
on any of those little fillies,
and I'll personally change
your vocal pitch.
You got me?
-Chief.
I got a definite feeling
we got no opportunity
for advancement.
-I think we'd do better
being the bad guys.
-There's a lot of material
around here to be bad with.
-Mrs. Jensen?
[Ruth]
Uh-huh?
-Can we talk with you
for a minute?
-Sure.
-Mrs. Jensen.
I think we're in
quite a bit of danger.
-Danger?
Why should we be
in any danger?
-Ralph was murdered.
The man who murdered him
could still be around.
-Oh dear.
That must be why the chief
left the policemen here.
Well, I think
we should be safe enough.
With the policemen around here
to protect us.
-I guess so.
We just wanted you to know.
-We wouldn't want anything
to happen to you.
-I keep this.
No one will get smart
with me.
-I'm sure they won't.
[humming]
[suspenseful music]
[humming]
[giggling]
-Well, I guess
I better get out of here.
-Good.
I'm going to get
some shut eye,
and I'll
relieve you at 12.
-Right.
-Do you really believe we're
in that much danger?
-Hey, if I were you,
I wouldn't worry
about a thing.
Whoever killed Ralph Kramer is
probably miles away by now.
At least, he should be.
Anyway, we're going to be here
until he's caught.
-Anyone like
anymore coffee?
-No thanks.
-How about some more of
my special cranberry
jello surprise?
-No thank you, ma'am,
I've had so much already
I can hardly move.
And I've got
to get some sleep.
-Oh.
Well, I'm sure
we can put you up
in a room here.
-Leia.
-Come on.
I'll show you your room.
-Look, I think we're getting
all worked up over nothing!
-For once,
I wish you were right.
Where have you been?
-Changing.
-Oh.
-Well, at least I feel
a whole lot better
with the police being here.
-Well, here you are.
Hope you like it.
-So far, so good.
Who lives here?
-Me.
[chuckling]
If you need anything,
just holler.
-Holler.
-Maybe later.
[giggling]
[sigh]
-I'm through now,
so good night, everyone.
[together]
Good night!
-I checked all the doors
and made sure they're locked.
Don't stay up too late.
[Nancy]
Okay.
-She doesn't seem
to be too worried.
-A staunch upbringing,
no doubt.
-I wish I were home.
-I thought you'd rather
be anywhere but home.
-And here.
-Well, why don't we
open up our Christmas presents?
That might cheer us up.
-Yeah!
-It isn't Christmas yet.
-So what?
-We should wait
and do it properly!
-If we're around that long.
-Oh, would you get off it?
-Hey, where are you going?
-I'm going to take a shower.
-Sounds great.
-Alone.
[T.J.]
Suit yourself.
[Leia]
I usually do.
-One of these days.
-You should ask
your pilot in.
It'd be one more hand...
-No, no way!
I hate the guy.
Besides, he's probably
too stoned to walk anywhere.
He did something
for my father, a few years back,
saved his life,
something like that.
-Melody's right.
-No way!
-We need all the help
we can get!
-Look, nothing
is going to happen.
-What about the person
who murdered Ralph?
-Yeah.
-Like the cop said,
he's probably a thousand miles
away by now.
-What about the others?
-Hey, you know Tom
and Blake.
-Do you think we're going
to be all right?
-Of course!
Look, everybody's
running around
like they have
the heebie-jeebies or something.
-I hope you're right.
-Ease up, huh?
Just listen to T.J..
I'm going to grab a beer,
does anybody want one?
-No.
-No?
-I'll take one.
I need it.
-Stay right there.
[suspenseful music]
Anyone there?
[Leia]
You are terrible!
[Jim]
That's what
the chief thinks too.
But fun to be with.
[giggling]
You know the one
about the Louisiana swamp?
[Leia]
No.
[laughing]
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
-Thought you guys might have
run out on me.
-No chance.
We just felt
more comfortable in here.
-I think I'm going
to check this place out.
-I'll go with you.
-Okay.
You guys wanna go?
-No, I think
we'll wait here.
[sipping]
[wood splintering]
[suspenseful music]
-Seems okay.
-Uh-huh.
-The hell are you doing up here
in that dumb outfit?
[dramatic music]
-I feel like
a trapped rat in here.
-Yeah, me too.
I feel like I can't breathe.
-Well, let's go get
some fresh air.
-I don't think that's
such a good idea.
-You're not buying
all this crap, are you?
Besides, we have
Starsky and Hutch right outside
to protect us.
-Are you sure?
-What, about going outside
or about Starsky and Hutch?
-Both.
-I'm sure.
-Maybe we shouldn't.
-Marylin...
I mean Melody, Melody!
Five years of karate.
Ha!
I'm a black belt!
Nobody gonna mess around
with this boy!
[floors creaking]
[suspenseful music]
[doors jiggling]
[Alex]
I think we're beginning
to hear things.
-Maybe.
-Let's go check upstairs.
-Okay.
-I don't like this.
-What's up there?
-I don't know,
I've never been up there.
-Let's find out.
-Okay.
[suspenseful music]
-Does anybody live in there?
-I don't know,
I don't think so.
-There?
Seems all right.
[floors creaking]
[gasping]
-What was that?
-I think it was a draft.
-Don't.
-Do you want to stay
up here all night?
-No.
-Just wait.
-You can't start worrying
about these things.
You'll take the whole flow
out of the beautiful things
in life.
Then where does that leave you?
I'll tell you where
that leaves us, lady.
Up the old crick
without a paddle.
-Really?
-Yeah, really.
[laughing]
Yeah, whatever that means.
[Alex]
Nancy?
Just a supply closet.
-Can we go now?
Okay.
Alex?
Can anyone get in?
-Anyone can get in anywhere
if they want to bad enough.
-I guess that was kind of
a dumb question, huh?
-Not really.
-Let's go down
with the others.
-Okay.
[floors creaking]
-Where's T.J. and Melody?
-Well, knowing T.J.,
they're somewhere.
Like under a rock.
-You don't like him
very much, do you?
-Not much.
-Then why did you come here
with him?
-No place else to go.
Except my aunt.
She doesn't like me
very much.
-What about your parents?
-Having a good time
in Europe.
They're always having
a good time somewhere.
What are you staring at?
-That picture.
It sure doesn't feel
much like Christmas.
-I'll take care of that.
[groaning]
-Oh, a gentleman.
-Where are you off to?
-I am going
to take a shower.
-Well, have fun!
-I already did.
[giggling]
[suspenseful music]
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
-Somehow, it's not so scary
once we're out here.
-There's really nothing
to be afraid of.
-I thought you were
interested in Leia.
-Yeah, I was.
But...
She doesn't...
she doesn't have
half as much as you.
-I didn't think
you even noticed me.
-I noticed you
from the first day.
-Where is that cop, anyway?
He's liable to catch us.
-You know, I don't know.
And I don't even care.
-You wanna dance?
-I'd like that.
-Good.
Gives me a chance
to hold you closer.
You are cute.
-I'd rather be beautiful.
-You are beautiful.
[suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
-Help, help!
Somebody open the door!
[Melody]
Help!
-Alex.
That's Melody!
-What is she doing
out there?
-Help!
[banging]
Help!
Someone open up!
Please!
-What happened?
-He's dead!
-Who's dead?
-Oh my God, he's dead!
-What happened?
-T.J.!
Oh my God,
we're going to die!
We're all going to die!
-Pull yourself together!
Pull yourself together!
[slapping]
-Alex, we've got
to go get the others!
-Yeah.
Come on,
Melody, come on.
[sobbing]
Shh.
Come on.
-Where is she?
-Where's Leia?
-In the shower, come on!
[suspenseful music]
[Nancy]
Oh my God!
[gagging]
[screaming]
[sobbing]
-I've gotta get help!
[Leia humming]
-It's Leia.
[Leia humming]
Leia?
Leia!
Oh, Leia!
Leia, it's me, Nancy!
Leia, oh.
Come on.
It's going to be okay.
-I wish.
[Melody]
Nancy, we've got
to make it to the plane,
it's our only chance!
-Alex, where's Alex?
Look out!
-You killed my baby.
-Mrs. Jensen?
-You killed my baby.
You gave her drugs!
You were her friend.
[Leia humming]
You were there, Nancy.
She was so young,
so beautiful.
-I didn't even know her!
-Don't you lie to me!
You were her friend.
You pushed her
off the balcony.
You were there!
-This is my first year here,
I don't even know her!
[screaming]
-You were there!
[dramatic music]
[panting]
[panting]
[screaming]
-Wake up, please!
-What's the matter?
-They're dead,
they're all dead!Everyone!
-What are you raving about?
-Move, you drunken slug,
move, or we're going to die!
-All right, all right!
What happened?
-They're dead,
they're all dead!
And the killer's going
to come after us!
-What about T.J.?
-He's dead!
-Are you sure?
-Yes, will you hurry, please?
-T.J.'s dead?
[suspenseful music]
-What's wrong?
-Generator.
-Can you fix it?
-I'm working on it.
-Will you hurry, please?
-Will you please
hold your horses?
Jesus Christ.
[engine whirring]
[screaming]
[Leia humming]
[Ruth]
Nancy...
Nancy...
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
Die!
[grunting]
Bitch!
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
Nancy...
Nancy...
It's the only room left,
Nancy.
It's the only room left.
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
She was so young.
So beautiful.
[screaming]
[groaning]
[sobbing]
[Leia humming]
[sobbing]
-You killed my wife.
You...
You killed our daughter.
I should have
killed you first.
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
[sobbing]
-Nancy, it's all right,
everything's going
to be all right.
I had to hide.
I had to hide.
I didn't know
what was going on.
I panicked, I panicked.
-Hold me...
Take me away from here.
-Leia!
-It's all over!
-We've got to go back
for Leia!
-We'll send somebody
back for her!
It's all over.
Okay, come on,
you ready?
Come on.
Come on,
come on baby.
[Leia humming]
[dramatic music]
[roaring]
[suspenseful music]
[festive music]
-Sorority, sorority!
[chatter]
[a girl]
Let's cut her head off!
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
[a girl - intercom]
On behalf of the
staff and myself,
I would sincerely like
to wish all those students
leaving for Christmas vacation
a pleasant journey,
and the happiest
of holidays.
I would also like
to take this opportunity
to thank those parents
who have contributed
so generously to the school
recreation and chapel fund.
-You have to stop
being this way!
You have to!
-Vivian.
Vivian, the game!
Vivian!
-All right, Harry!
-Will you hurry up, already?
I spend a fortune
to send this kid here,
you wanted to get her,
okay, we got her,
now let's put her in a bag
and get out of here.
Hey. A fortune I spent
on the 50-yard line.
A fortune I spent
on 50 yards,
and you're going to wrap it
all the way.
Wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap,
wrap. You and that kid.
The two of you, you're going
to drive me nuts.
-Take good care of him, okay?
-Oh, I will.
[the principal - intercom]
If somebody has their underwear
hanging on the south line
with a blue stain,
they better remove them...
-Bye.
-See you in two weeks.
-Bye.
-Buy some milk, okay?
Bye.
[a girl - intercom]
Attention.
I think it would be proper,
at this time,
on behalf of myself and the rest
of the student body,
to give Mrs. Cowper's
retirement attention
to this educational facility,
and to wish her
the happiest of holidays
and a quick,
safe return.
-You suck up!
[a girl - intercom]
Get away from that!
-Have a good time.
If you have the chance,
bring me back
a couple presents.
-Men.
-Okay.
-Okay, have a good time.
[a girl - intercom]
Attention.
Because of delay in the
day, Mrs. Jensen says
that dinner will
be delayed 30 minutes.
And we'll be eating in the peer
dining room, instead of
the main dining room,
which will be closed
during the holidays.
Stop that!
-Bye bye!
[radio chatter]
[romantic music]
-Do you know where I wish
I was spending Christmas?
-In a funny hutch.
-I'd rather spend Christmas
in a cave
than with my mother
and her freaky artist friends.
[Trisha]
A cave?
That's going a bit far,
don't you think?
-Not if you knew her mother.
-I wish I was going home.
-You would.
-Come on now, girls,
dinner's ready.
-All right!
Hey, Mrs. Jensen,
what did you fix?
[Mrs. Jensen] Stew and
for dessert, cherry pie.
-Oh!
-My favourite.
-Anything you can get
your hands on
is your favourite.
-Shove it.
-Any particular place,
sweetheart?
-Sex freak.
-Oh, I thought I had
that title wrapped up.
-You shouldn't let
the others get to you.
-They don't.
Not really.
-Come on, let's eat,
I'm starved.
[suspenseful music]
-Now you can start.
-Smells great,
Mrs. Jensen.
-Oh, thank you, Nancy.
Mrs. Calvin called.
She won't be back
until after the weekend.
Her mother's ill.
Poor woman.
She says to be good,
and not to get
into any trouble.
In the meantime,
I'll be looking out
after you.
-Great!
I couldn't have planned this
better if I tried.
-Planned what?
-Shh, keep your voice down,
or Jensen will hear you.
-Well, is somebody going
to tell us something?
Or are we just going to sit here
until we start laying eggs?
-Something's going
to get laid.
-What time are they coming?
-Go ahead, Leia, tell them.
-T.J. is coming up with
a few of his friends tonight.
-Oh, how nice.
-Pass the stew.
He's flying.
-You're telling me.
-And his father's
playing stupid.
He called me
this morning.
"And with Mrs. Calvin
gone for the weekend,
you're going to have
one hell of a time!"
-In that case, then,
I suppose
I'll tidy up
a little bit.
-Who's he bringing
with him?
-I don't know,
he didn't say.
-Now, the pie.
It's for dessert.
Where's Cynthia?
-Oh, she wasn't feeling well,
so she went up to bed early.
-Oh.
Maybe I should take
something up to her.
-She said
she wasn't hungry.
-Cynthia!
Cynthia?
[suspenseful music]
Cynthia!
-Paul?
Paul, is that you?
[Paul]
Yeah!
Hurry up, come on.
Come on, let's go!
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
[muffled]
No, no!
God, no!
-Have you no pride at all?
-How would you like this
in a very delicate place?
-Come on, you two,
shut down.
What time are they coming?
[Leia]
Midnight.
-Oh God.
Bless whoever built
that airstrip.
-God bless airplanes.
[suspenseful music]
[screaming]
-I think I'm going crazy.
[Melody]
What's the matter?
-Not enough pie.
[laughing]
[Melody]
Now why didn't I think of that?
-I just thought
I saw something outside.
-Keep watching.
Any minute now,
eight tiny reindeer
are going to be coming along,
and one of them is going
to have a shiny red nose.
-You better lay off
the junk food, kid,
you're beginning to have
sugar hallucinations.
-I know I saw it.
I think.
-I think I'll go
get a Kleenex.
-Bring me some perfume,
will you?
The Chanel.
-Okay.
-I saw it.
[humming]
-Where are you? Aha!
Great!
Oh, Jesus, you scared
the hell out of me!
-Miss Samantha has me
looking on the plants.
-Uh-huh.
-It's our duty
to take care of the plants.
-Yeah.
-Got put them here to
give us pleasure.
-Yeah, yeah, uh...
Excuse me.
Oh, by the way,
Mrs. Jensen cooked up
some cherry pie and stew.
Better hurry on down before it's
all gone.
-I like cherry pie.
-Yeah.
You and Nancy both.
-I like Nancy too.
-Oh dear,
so much stew left over.
-Oh, it's Fast Ralph.
What's happening,
sibling?
-Hello, girls.
[laughing]
-I think he used
to be a gargoyle
on the south side
of Notre Dame.
That's the stuff!
-Hello, Ruth.
-Oh, hello, Tina.
-Ralph.
-You look wonderful.
-Oh yeah, real great,
real great.
By the time those butchers
get through with me,
I'll be nothing
but leftovers.
I brought some cannoli.
-Oh!
-What's cannoli?
-Here, Ralph,
put it in the fridge.
-So, what did
the doctors say?
-They have to perform
the bypass.
20 years I'm riding
my bicycle.
Best exercise in the world,
they tell me.
They have to perform
a bypass.
-Don't you go worrying now,
everything's gonna be all right.
-All right, my foot.
I'm going to die!
We all gotta die.
I know I'm gonna die.
Death is no stranger to me.
I buried three husbands.
So you think
that's so bad?
After the third one,
it's just a piece of cake.
-Mrs. Jensen, have we got
a surprise for you!
Oh hello, Mrs. Ranzini...
Ranzoni.
-A surprise, for me?
-Yes, the girls and I
have decided
that we're going to do
all the dishes
and the cleaning up.
We insist that you go
to bed early,
and leave everything to us.
Now you just go on,
and I'll fix you
some nice hot milk
and I'll bring it to you.
-Oh, Leia, I don't know...
-Well I do,
now you just go on.
It's about time you get
a good night's sleep.
-Good night.
-Good night.
-Good night, Ralph.
Sleep tight.
-I don't know how you stand
that big gazock around here.
He gives me the creeps.
-Oh, Ralph's a good boy.
He means well.
And he's very handy.
-I'm putting milk on, now.
[Tina]
You shouldn't working here,
Ruth, with all those rich,
pompous bitches.
Living out here
in the middle of nowhere.
-Something goes wrong,
you think they're going to tell
the house mother?
[Ruth]
Now, Tina.
They're good girls!
-I'll be back in a moment,
you go on to bed!
Good night, Mrs. Ranzoni.
-So, did you pull it off?
-Of course!
She's on her way
to bed and sweet dreams.
-Are you sure that stuff
is going to work?
-Oh yeah, yeah, she'll sleep
for ten or 12 hours.
Guaranteed.
She may even sleep forever.
-I wonder
what she dreams of.
-Oh who cares, as long
as she doesn't bother us.
Nancelina!
-What?
-You are going
to give her the milk.
Well, you're the only one
she won't suspect
of being underhanded!
[sigh]
-Why do I always have
to do all the dirty work?
-Because.
-I have to go, now, Ruth.
You really should think
about doing something more
with your life.
-Now you take care
of yourself, Tina.
Let me know if there's
anything you need.
-Not unless you've got
any spare bodies laying around.
Listen, I'll stop in
on my way back
from Mrs. Willaby's.
That is, if the grim reaper
doesn't come calling.
-I appreciate the cannoli.
Thank you.
-Yeah, thanks!
[suspenseful music]
-Mrs. Jensen?
-Oh, hi Nancy.
-Hi, I brought you your milk.
-Oh, that's awfully sweet
of you girls.
-Well, it's the least
we can do for you.
You've been so nice to us.
-You go to bed early,
and be good.
-We will.
Good night!
-Good night!
Pleasant dreams!
[Nancy]
You too!
[suspenseful music]
-I think I can hear the plane.
-Yeah, come on,
we better hurry,
maybe we can hit them
with our flashlights!
-Hey, I thought they weren't
supposed to be here
until midnight.
-So they're early,
more time for fun.
-Oh, Ralph.
-You shouldn't be out here
at night like this.
It's dangerous.
-Oh, it's all right, Ralph.
Some of Leia's friends
are coming up.
-Well, you can
take my flashlight.
-Thank you.
-I want you to be safe.
-Hurry it up, hurry it up,
we've been waiting!
-Hey guys,
ransacking time, let's go!
-Stop it!
-Varying things, of course.
-Of course?
You're late!
-This isn't
scheduled airlines!
-No lie!
-Okay.
I'm ready!
-What do you want,
what do you want?You silly twit!
[moaning]
-Well worth the flight.
-Hey, here I am.
-We waited a hell
of a lot longer
than you did, dickhead
Should have used reindeer!
-Didn't you hear?
-About what?
-They're on strike this year.
Something about wanting
their own union.
-Oh, you're crazy!
-You're cute.
-Tally-ho!
-Thanks, master T.J.!
-Stay with the plane, okay?
-We've got room for him.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
-I don't.
Stay with the plane.
-Yes, sir!
[giggling]
-Nancy, what are you
doing here?
-Looking for you.
-Well you found us,
now come on!
-Someone remember
to come back later
and get the luggage.
-Yeah, kid.

[guitar music]
-I don't sing so good.
-That was beautiful.
You know, I've often
thought of taking up the guitar.
-It beats carrying around
a piano.
[metal creaking]
[suspenseful music]
-You know,
there was a time
when doctor's couldn't take
an X-ray picture of the brain
because the cranium
was so thick, the only way
they could get the
X-ray to take a picture of an
abnormality was to
inject with coloured dyes
or air bubbles.
-I hope I never get sick.
-By the time you're 30,
we should have
most things licked.
Except accidents.
-I'll go get us a
couple of beers.
-Hurry.
-Don't be impatient!
It's going to be
a long night.
-And now we have this new
computerized head scanner
that can now show us...
-Alex.
You're going to bore
this sweet young thing to death.
-Am I boring you to death?
-No.
I'm enjoying it, really.
-Lady, you have a hell
of a high pain threshold.
-Excuse me.
[suspenseful music]
-Tom?
Will you stop
messing around?
And seduce me like a man?
Oh Tom,
take that bloody mask off.
Take me to bed.
[muffled screaming]
[dramatic music]
-You should be in bed.
-Well, um...
We're just having
a little party, Ralph.
-It's late,
and you should be in bed.
-I will.
-And lock your door, too.
I want you to be safe,
Nancy.
There's evil here.
I can feel it, the...
the devil's here.
-Don't worry, Ralph,
I will.
Good night.
[guitar music]
-That was
a wonderful song.
Who's it about?
-I wrote it
for my little brother
when he was born.
-Where the hell is Trisha
with the beer?
-Maybe she left you.
[laughing]
[imitating English accent]
-With my charm?
No chance.
[laughing]
-Tom sure is funny.
[suspenseful music]
-Trisha?
Oh, Trisha?
Come on,
miss high society.
Get your act together!
I'm in no mood
to play hide and seek!
[dramatic music
and screaming]
-You were supposed
to wait for me!
I was going to put on
something really sexy
and drive you crazy!
-You're already
driving me crazy.
[screaming]
[laughing]
-Oh!
-Hm!
-Trisha?
[suspenseful music]
Trisha!
Trisha?
[dramatic music]
[groaning]
[suspenseful music]
-Hey, where is everybody?
-Gone to bed, or wherever.
-It doesn't sound
like a bad idea to me.
-Not a bad idea at all.
Come on, James.
Time to put
your measurable knowledge...
to work.
-Well, I think you better
show me to my room.
-Exactly what I had in mind.
-I think I had too
much to drink.
-Half a beer?
-Uh-huh.
-You wouldn't be chickening out
on me, would you?
-Well...
-Come on, Einstein.
It's time for
your advanced course...
in relativity.
-All right!
What?
-You're going to have
to catch me first!
I'm the fastest girl
in school!
-Yeah, I'll bet.
-That wasn't what I meant.
-It'll do, won't it?
-Maybe...
-Let's find out!
[panting]
-You're out of breath!
-You're going to wear me down,
then I'll be useless.
[Sam]
Come on, a big,
strong boy like you?
-Big, yes, but strong?
Not if we keep this up!
[groaning]
Oh, my back!
Help me!
-You're faking it!
-That's what my high school
coach used to tell me.
This better be
worth the chase.
-It will be.
-Sit still.
[heavy breathing]
-We can't do this here.
-Why not?
-Other people might come in.
-Are you kidding?
They're all out
for the night.
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
[humming]
[screaming]
[laughing]
-You see that wall
over there?
You're going to drive me
straight up it.
-Oh, we've never done it
on the wall before!
-No, we haven't.
Well, we've done it
everywhere else.
-Come on, tiger.
-Hey, wait a minute.
Time out, coach.
-What?
Oh, time out?
You have drunk
all the wine.
-How about you grab us
a couple of beers?
-Oh, energy for the troops, eh?
-It's me, the troops!
-All right!
You just lie there
and be comfortable, fly boy.
Let me take care
of everything.
[T.J.]
Come here, you.
I'm going to get you!
[Leia]
You know, you've been around
the high altitude too long.
You sure you still want
that beer?
[T.J.] You know what I want?
[Leia]
Yes, sir!
[gasping]
Jesus, you scared me!
-Sorry.
-What are you doing,
haunting the halls?
-I was just on my way
to get some milk.
-Come on.
I need to get some beer
for the troops.
-Okay.
-Man, this is the best vacation
I've ever had.
I'm gonna marry this one.
-That's kind of
a sudden decision.
-Honey, his fortune
is too much to count.
And besides, he's not so bad
in the sack, either.
Not the best, mind you,
but not the worst.
[suspenseful music]
You doing okay?
-Sort of.
-Don't worry,
your time will come.
In the meantime,
here's your milk.
-Thanks.
Ick!
-Ew!
-Blood...
-Fast Ralph probably
cut himself with the shears.
Well, see you later cat,
I gotta reel this sucker in.
[suspenseful music]
[screaming]
-Sorry.
-It's you.
-I just came
to get a drink.
-I have some milk.
-Fine.
Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-Good night.
-Good night.

[grunt]
[screaming]
[Nancy]
What are you doing here?
-Shh.
Something is wrong.
Something is happening here.
-What do you mean, Ralph?
-Miss Nancy,
I'm a man of the land.
And I know y'all think
I don't know much.
But I know
when something is wrong.
You've gotta watch yourself.
-Don't come
any closer, Ralph.
-You're the only one,
out of all of them...
You're the only one.
I like you, Nancy.
And I want you
to be all right.
You must pray.
Pray so the devil
won't claim you
for one of his own.
I'll be with you.
I'll take care of you,
I promise.
-Good night, Ralph.
-Good night, miss Nancy.
And pray, please!
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
[muttering]
-Well?
Do you like it?
-Measurement...
It's very nice.
-Nice?
-Uh-huh.
-That's the best you can do?
-Well, what I mean is
it's very nice.
-Do you know
how much this cost?
-No.
-A fortune.
And you don't like it.
-No, I mean,
I like it, really.
-Really?
-Really.
-You've never done it before,
have you?
-Done what?
-You know.
-Oh, of course I have.
-Of course you haven't.
-Well, I almost did, once.
-Imagine, I get to do
a first timer.
Come here, you.
-I'm all right here.
-You'll be better over here.
-I really have to be
going to bed.
-Exactly where
I'm trying to put you.
-Well, what I mean is...
[clatter]
-I know what you mean.
Now come here.
Come on.
Who buys your shorts?
-I do.
-They're awful.
-Oh, I'm sorry!
[laughing]
Oh, God.
-I'll be changing that
to "oh, Melody."
-Oh, Melody.
-Oh what?
-Oh, nothing.
-Oh my.
-Oh my God.
Oh dear.
[suspenseful music]
I think the Rams
are definitely
going to win the pennant.
[laughing]
[T.J.]
What's gotten into you?
That's the first
time I heard you talk about
anything besides
X-rays and molecules.
-I'm not so sure you
boys should be staying here.
It's not allowed, you know.
-Oh, we didn't mean
to stay so long.
As soon as we repair
the plane...
we're out of here!
-You look so young
to be flying an airplane.
[laughing]
-I mean, heck, my father
taught me to fly
when I was 18.
-Besides, he brought a pilot.
-Well, I hope
you get it fixed.
Because it's not allowed
by school rules
for you guys
to stay overnight, you know?
The superintendent's
gonna be back tomorrow
and she's going to be
very angry.
-Don't worry,
we'll be out of here
as soon as possible.
-Mrs. Jensen,
did you sleep well?
-Oh.
Yes, thank you.
-Hey, where are the others?
[T.J.]
Oh, who cares?
Who needs them?
I'm having a good
enough time without them.
[Leia]
Probably still crashed out.
-Listen, I've got
a dynamite idea.
-I thought you were tired?
-Wise guy, huh?
It's a dynamite day,
let's have a picnic.
-I like it!
We can play some football
or something.
-Or something?
Everybody has
this something on their mind.
-Don't get carried away,
Tarzan.
Not yet, anyway.
[kissing noise]
[laughing]
[T.J.]
Oh, don't tell me
the whizz kid finally scored.
What did she say
her name was?
Melody, huh?
That's one interesting tune.
-I can go get the others.
-Yeah, tell them
to hurry up.
-Trish, Sam?
Is anybody home?
[screaming]
-Oh, brother,
have you changed.
-Your fault.
-Fault? I thought it was
a beautiful gesture.
-Oh it was, and
I'll never be the same.
-Good.
-Hey, come back here!
-Come and get me!
[Alex]
Oh, you asked for it.
[T.J.]
I wonder what the hell
happened to Tom and Trisha.
[Leia] Oh, I don't
know, they're probably
lost in the woods.
I promised them
a good time.
-Well, I'm sure
they're having a good time.
-I think I'm going
to go for a walk.
-Now, don't get
into any trouble.
-Fat chance.
-Hey, Nance?
-Huh?
-Don't sweat it.
You'll get lucky
sooner or later.
-You sure have a way
with words.
-Did I say something wrong?
-Well, you could have kept
your mouth shut.
-Can I help it if
she's so damn sensitive?
-T.J., sometimes you can be
such a horse's ass.
-Yeah?
That's not what you said
last night.
-I change
when the sun comes up.
-Hm!
-Uh-huh.
[imitating Romanian accent]
-Dracula's daughter?
[laughing]
Yes!
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
-Gonna get you!
[gasping]
Oh, hey, don't get mad.
I was just having fun.
-It's okay.
-What you doing?
-Walking.
-Oh.
-You're cute.
-No I'm not.
-Yes you are!
-No, I'm not.
-Yes, you are.
-No I'm not!
[groaning]
Alex, don't.
Alex!
You're crazy!
[screaming]
-Thanks for your help.
But from the way
Kramer was found,
it's obvious what happened.
-Who would ever want
to kill Ralph Kramer?
-That's what
I'm going to find out.
I'm gonna have to get in touch
with the other kids, and...
probably contact their parents.
-Hey, do you have
to do that?
It's going to be
a bit awkward, you see,
they think
we're somewhere else.
-Are you serious?
Christ's sake.
-Hey man, look,
whoa, hold on!
Can't you keep us
out of it?
We're going to wind up
in a lot of trouble
if our parents find out
about this!
Anyway, we didn't kill
the old nut!
-I appreciate
your dilemma, son.
But a man's been murdered.
Do you understand me?
Now, does anyone else know
where the others might be?
-Please, if anyone
knows anything,
tell the officer.
This is very serious.
-Look, I know
you might feel
you need to protect
the others,
but think of this.
There's been
one murder already.
There might be others.
For Christ's sake, your friends
might be in trouble!
Come on.
-Mister Polansky,
if we knew anything,
we'd tell you.
But we don't.
You don't think
they could've killed Ralph?
[Polansky]
Everybody's a suspect, miss.
I just want to know
where they are.
My men have
searched this place
with a fine-toothed comb
and haven't come up
with anything.
-What do you think
could have happened to them?
-I don't know.
But I sure as hell
am going to find out.
Been a cop
for all my life.
Been chief of police here
for almost a year
and I haven't had a case
I couldn't figure.
I don't intend this
to be the first.
[Ruth]
We'll do anything we can
to help you, officer.
And the superintendent
will be back tomorrow.
I know she can help you.
-I'm going to leave
two of my men here
around the clock.
I want you
to stay indoors
so I can locate you
at a moment's notice.
Understand?
-Mister Polansky?
-Yes?
-I'm really scared.
I may be crazy,
but I'm really scared.
Ralph came into
my room last night,
and he told me that...
I don't know, he was just
like preaching religion to me.
-Oh, he was always
running about...
-No Leia!
He told me that
something evil was happening.
And I should have
told somebody.
-You can't hold yourself
responsible.
Can you foresee the future?
-That doesn't make me
feel any better.
-I know.
I know.
I did some checking
on Kramer.
He spent some time
in a mental hospital.
Two accounts
of armed robbery,
assault with a deadly weapon.
He didn't exactly hang around
with a gentle crowd.
I'll check on some
of his old friends,
maybe they had something
against him.
I promise.
I'll check on him.
If anything comes up...
or you find
anything important,
give me a call!
Bye, Ruth.
Sorry to inconvenience you.
Remember.
Stay indoors tonight.
And make sure this place
is locked up tight.
-What we all need
is a good hearty meal.
I'll start dinner.
-Something's happened
to the others, I know it!
-Oh, come off it!
Just because weird Ralph
got himself murdered
doesn't mean something
happened to the others.
-Look, Leia's right, don't go
getting crazy for nothing.
-Leia's wrong.
-What do you mean?
[Alex]
Just what I said,
Leia's wrong.
They wouldn't split
without telling someone.
Maybe not me,
but certainly T.J.
-Man, don't start
getting weird on me.
[Alex]
It's not weird!
It's just a fact.
-Who do you think you are,
Sherlock Holmes?
-I wish I was.
Then I wouldn't be
so preoccupied for my life.
-I knew we were in trouble.
-Maybe Mrs. Jensen has some
ideas.
-Are you kidding?
She's lost
outside the kitchen.
-We've gotta do something.
-What?
-I don't know.
-Oh, we're all worried
about nothing.
They'll be back any minute!
At least, that's what I think.
And if you're smart,
you'll think the same.
-I don't know what to think.
-Man, this whole thing sucks.
-Alex?
Do you really believe
we're in danger?
-Yes.
-Why?
-I already told you.
-Just because
the others didn't come back?
-They're never coming back.
-I don't believe this!
You're all crazy!
-I believe you.
-I wish I was wrong.
-Oh, me too.
-I'm sorry I scared you
this afternoon.
-It's okay.
-You must have been
really scared.
-I was.
-I won't let anything
happen to you, I promise.
-I'm scared.
-Me too.
[Polansky]
Hey, you two, come here.
I want this place patrolled
around the clock, all right?
You figure out
your own schedule.
If anything goes wrong,
I want you to know
that I'm going
to have you transferred
to the middle of the desert.
-Don't worry
about it, chief,
we'll take care of it.
-Okay, okay,
one other thing, wrap.
You know, the people that send
their kids to this school,
they have a lot of
political power.
So you put your hands
on any of those little fillies,
and I'll personally change
your vocal pitch.
You got me?
-Chief.
I got a definite feeling
we got no opportunity
for advancement.
-I think we'd do better
being the bad guys.
-There's a lot of material
around here to be bad with.
-Mrs. Jensen?
[Ruth]
Uh-huh?
-Can we talk with you
for a minute?
-Sure.
-Mrs. Jensen.
I think we're in
quite a bit of danger.
-Danger?
Why should we be
in any danger?
-Ralph was murdered.
The man who murdered him
could still be around.
-Oh dear.
That must be why the chief
left the policemen here.
Well, I think
we should be safe enough.
With the policemen around here
to protect us.
-I guess so.
We just wanted you to know.
-We wouldn't want anything
to happen to you.
-I keep this.
No one will get smart
with me.
-I'm sure they won't.
[humming]
[suspenseful music]
[humming]
[giggling]
-Well, I guess
I better get out of here.
-Good.
I'm going to get
some shut eye,
and I'll
relieve you at 12.
-Right.
-Do you really believe we're
in that much danger?
-Hey, if I were you,
I wouldn't worry
about a thing.
Whoever killed Ralph Kramer is
probably miles away by now.
At least, he should be.
Anyway, we're going to be here
until he's caught.
-Anyone like
anymore coffee?
-No thanks.
-How about some more of
my special cranberry
jello surprise?
-No thank you, ma'am,
I've had so much already
I can hardly move.
And I've got
to get some sleep.
-Oh.
Well, I'm sure
we can put you up
in a room here.
-Leia.
-Come on.
I'll show you your room.
-Look, I think we're getting
all worked up over nothing!
-For once,
I wish you were right.
Where have you been?
-Changing.
-Oh.
-Well, at least I feel
a whole lot better
with the police being here.
-Well, here you are.
Hope you like it.
-So far, so good.
Who lives here?
-Me.
[chuckling]
If you need anything,
just holler.
-Holler.
-Maybe later.
[giggling]
[sigh]
-I'm through now,
so good night, everyone.
[together]
Good night!
-I checked all the doors
and made sure they're locked.
Don't stay up too late.
[Nancy]
Okay.
-She doesn't seem
to be too worried.
-A staunch upbringing,
no doubt.
-I wish I were home.
-I thought you'd rather
be anywhere but home.
-And here.
-Well, why don't we
open up our Christmas presents?
That might cheer us up.
-Yeah!
-It isn't Christmas yet.
-So what?
-We should wait
and do it properly!
-If we're around that long.
-Oh, would you get off it?
-Hey, where are you going?
-I'm going to take a shower.
-Sounds great.
-Alone.
[T.J.]
Suit yourself.
[Leia]
I usually do.
-One of these days.
-You should ask
your pilot in.
It'd be one more hand...
-No, no way!
I hate the guy.
Besides, he's probably
too stoned to walk anywhere.
He did something
for my father, a few years back,
saved his life,
something like that.
-Melody's right.
-No way!
-We need all the help
we can get!
-Look, nothing
is going to happen.
-What about the person
who murdered Ralph?
-Yeah.
-Like the cop said,
he's probably a thousand miles
away by now.
-What about the others?
-Hey, you know Tom
and Blake.
-Do you think we're going
to be all right?
-Of course!
Look, everybody's
running around
like they have
the heebie-jeebies or something.
-I hope you're right.
-Ease up, huh?
Just listen to T.J..
I'm going to grab a beer,
does anybody want one?
-No.
-No?
-I'll take one.
I need it.
-Stay right there.
[suspenseful music]
Anyone there?
[Leia]
You are terrible!
[Jim]
That's what
the chief thinks too.
But fun to be with.
[giggling]
You know the one
about the Louisiana swamp?
[Leia]
No.
[laughing]
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
-Thought you guys might have
run out on me.
-No chance.
We just felt
more comfortable in here.
-I think I'm going
to check this place out.
-I'll go with you.
-Okay.
You guys wanna go?
-No, I think
we'll wait here.
[sipping]
[wood splintering]
[suspenseful music]
-Seems okay.
-Uh-huh.
-The hell are you doing up here
in that dumb outfit?
[dramatic music]
-I feel like
a trapped rat in here.
-Yeah, me too.
I feel like I can't breathe.
-Well, let's go get
some fresh air.
-I don't think that's
such a good idea.
-You're not buying
all this crap, are you?
Besides, we have
Starsky and Hutch right outside
to protect us.
-Are you sure?
-What, about going outside
or about Starsky and Hutch?
-Both.
-I'm sure.
-Maybe we shouldn't.
-Marylin...
I mean Melody, Melody!
Five years of karate.
Ha!
I'm a black belt!
Nobody gonna mess around
with this boy!
[floors creaking]
[suspenseful music]
[doors jiggling]
[Alex]
I think we're beginning
to hear things.
-Maybe.
-Let's go check upstairs.
-Okay.
-I don't like this.
-What's up there?
-I don't know,
I've never been up there.
-Let's find out.
-Okay.
[suspenseful music]
-Does anybody live in there?
-I don't know,
I don't think so.
-There?
Seems all right.
[floors creaking]
[gasping]
-What was that?
-I think it was a draft.
-Don't.
-Do you want to stay
up here all night?
-No.
-Just wait.
-You can't start worrying
about these things.
You'll take the whole flow
out of the beautiful things
in life.
Then where does that leave you?
I'll tell you where
that leaves us, lady.
Up the old crick
without a paddle.
-Really?
-Yeah, really.
[laughing]
Yeah, whatever that means.
[Alex]
Nancy?
Just a supply closet.
-Can we go now?
Okay.
Alex?
Can anyone get in?
-Anyone can get in anywhere
if they want to bad enough.
-I guess that was kind of
a dumb question, huh?
-Not really.
-Let's go down
with the others.
-Okay.
[floors creaking]
-Where's T.J. and Melody?
-Well, knowing T.J.,
they're somewhere.
Like under a rock.
-You don't like him
very much, do you?
-Not much.
-Then why did you come here
with him?
-No place else to go.
Except my aunt.
She doesn't like me
very much.
-What about your parents?
-Having a good time
in Europe.
They're always having
a good time somewhere.
What are you staring at?
-That picture.
It sure doesn't feel
much like Christmas.
-I'll take care of that.
[groaning]
-Oh, a gentleman.
-Where are you off to?
-I am going
to take a shower.
-Well, have fun!
-I already did.
[giggling]
[suspenseful music]
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
-Somehow, it's not so scary
once we're out here.
-There's really nothing
to be afraid of.
-I thought you were
interested in Leia.
-Yeah, I was.
But...
She doesn't...
she doesn't have
half as much as you.
-I didn't think
you even noticed me.
-I noticed you
from the first day.
-Where is that cop, anyway?
He's liable to catch us.
-You know, I don't know.
And I don't even care.
-You wanna dance?
-I'd like that.
-Good.
Gives me a chance
to hold you closer.
You are cute.
-I'd rather be beautiful.
-You are beautiful.
[suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
-Help, help!
Somebody open the door!
[Melody]
Help!
-Alex.
That's Melody!
-What is she doing
out there?
-Help!
[banging]
Help!
Someone open up!
Please!
-What happened?
-He's dead!
-Who's dead?
-Oh my God, he's dead!
-What happened?
-T.J.!
Oh my God,
we're going to die!
We're all going to die!
-Pull yourself together!
Pull yourself together!
[slapping]
-Alex, we've got
to go get the others!
-Yeah.
Come on,
Melody, come on.
[sobbing]
Shh.
Come on.
-Where is she?
-Where's Leia?
-In the shower, come on!
[suspenseful music]
[Nancy]
Oh my God!
[gagging]
[screaming]
[sobbing]
-I've gotta get help!
[Leia humming]
-It's Leia.
[Leia humming]
Leia?
Leia!
Oh, Leia!
Leia, it's me, Nancy!
Leia, oh.
Come on.
It's going to be okay.
-I wish.
[Melody]
Nancy, we've got
to make it to the plane,
it's our only chance!
-Alex, where's Alex?
Look out!
-You killed my baby.
-Mrs. Jensen?
-You killed my baby.
You gave her drugs!
You were her friend.
[Leia humming]
You were there, Nancy.
She was so young,
so beautiful.
-I didn't even know her!
-Don't you lie to me!
You were her friend.
You pushed her
off the balcony.
You were there!
-This is my first year here,
I don't even know her!
[screaming]
-You were there!
[dramatic music]
[panting]
[panting]
[screaming]
-Wake up, please!
-What's the matter?
-They're dead,
they're all dead!Everyone!
-What are you raving about?
-Move, you drunken slug,
move, or we're going to die!
-All right, all right!
What happened?
-They're dead,
they're all dead!
And the killer's going
to come after us!
-What about T.J.?
-He's dead!
-Are you sure?
-Yes, will you hurry, please?
-T.J.'s dead?
[suspenseful music]
-What's wrong?
-Generator.
-Can you fix it?
-I'm working on it.
-Will you hurry, please?
-Will you please
hold your horses?
Jesus Christ.

She was so young.
So beautiful.

[Leia humming]

-You killed my wife.
You...
You killed our daughter.
I should have
killed you first.
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
[sobbing]
-Nancy, it's all right,
everything's going
to be all right.
I had to hide.
I had to hide.
I didn't know
what was going on.
I panicked, I panicked.
-Hold me...
Take me away from here.
-Leia!
-It's all over!
-We've got to go back
for Leia!
-We'll send somebody
back for her!
It's all over.
Okay, come on,

Come on.
