(WHITE RABBIT PLAYING)

(JINGLING)

* One pill makes you larger

* And one pill makes you small

* And the ones that
Mother gives you

* Don't do anything at all

* Go ask Alice

* When she's 10 feet tall

He looks kinda weird.

It's too late now.

Thanks a lot, man.



* And you know
you're going to fall

* Tell 'em a hookah
smoking caterpillar

* Has given you the call

* To call Alice

* When she was just small

* When the men
on the chessboard

* Get up and tell you
where to go

* And you've just had
some kind of mushroom

* And your mind is moving low

* Go ask Alice

* I think she'll know

* When logic and proportion

* Have fallen sloppy dead

* And the White Knight
is talking backwards... *

(SIGHS)

I do not live off

filthy green paper.

I live off the land.

Oh!

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHING)

Uh, he deaf too
or uh, just the dummy?

-LEAH: Wild Thing don't
choose to talk.
-Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

Just like I don't choose
to tap dance.

See what you can do

(WOMAN MOANING)

MAN: Yes.

MAN: Your weapons.

Aim.

Fire!

ANNOUNCER: You can afford
the good life at
Trembling Hills Estates,

where you and your family

There's boating, swimming,
sailing and horseback
riding all summer.

(CAT MEWING)

(SQUEAKING)

(LEAH GROANING)

Devil.

You can't have me, devil.

(SQUEALING)

I can't move it anymore.

No, no, no.

Here. You make sure
she keeps on wiggling
her toes.

When she can't do
that no more,

it's time to bring in the doc.

That's how it went with me.

LEAH: He's right.
No way.

Scrapheap time.

Oh!

Is that my Wild Thing?

I... I was scared I...

Thought you'd left me
to die.

Boy,

when I go,

don't let them white coats
have me.

They open you up
on a table,

so that the little white coats
can eyeball inside at
your private business.

When I go,

don't leave nothing
for the goddamn company.

(SIREN WAILING DISTANTLY)

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

-No!
-(GUNSHOT)

(WEAKLY) Don't let
the company get you.

Live free.

Mama.

(SOBBING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Rasheed, man, you wanna
be a Blood, you gotta
live through the test.

Gotta spend all night
alone in the Zone, boy.

And you ain't up
to that shit.

I'd do that blindfolded,
no sweat.

You gonna need more
than sweat if that Wild Thing
catch you out here.

Hey, nothing like
a little bed and a little dark
meat for a midnight snack.

You see that shit
up there, man?

You climb up there,
you see blood on
on his sneakers.

They say he can turn
himself into an alley cat.

Says he steals babies
out of the cribs and eats
'em alive.

Get too much of you
out here,
you can cut and run.

We find this rope
has been messed with
in the morning,

you ain't gonna be
no Blood.

I'm gonna do it tonight, man.
No sweat.

I ain't afraid of no
Wild Thing.

ALL: Word!

He ain't gonna make it.

MAN: Hey, you'll find him
in the morning, won't you?

(CHUCKLING)

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

(GUNSHOT)

-There you go.
-Nah.

(CHITTERING)

MAN: Boston Express now
boarding at gate 18...

Hi.

Do you know where this is?

Palmer Street. (CHUCKLES)

Big dump.

(RADIO PLAYING INDISTINCTLY)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(EXCLAIMS)

Dumb suckers!

The city's full of
dumb suckers!

DRIVER: $20.
WOMAN: It only says $7.

DRIVER: Plus $10 for making
me come down here.

Oh.

One second.

Just let me get some
of these bags.

Okay.

You know...

I don't think that
this is it. I...
Excuse me!

(MUMBLING INDISTINCTLY)

-Lady.
-(BOTTLE CLINKS)

-No.
-(GASPS)

What angel from on high!

What felicitous amalgamation
of corpuscles

has brightened
the dark recesses
of this pit of despair.

It is youth in all its

golden glow.

It is flax and follicles
and eyes of purest jade.

-(SCREAMING)
-(GASPS)

You just scared the piss
out of me, girl.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Uh... Look...

I'm lost, I guess.

-I'm not from around here.
-No shit.

I'm looking for a place
called the Safe House.

It's all the way
across the Zone.

-What's the Zone?
-You in it now, girl.

The Zone is where anything
the cops don't want to know
about goes on.

It's where little white
blond girls don't be

unless they're
shopping their booties
to the public.

-I see.
-The Zone is where...

Oh, shit! Run!

What?

That's Chopper's boys.

-Well, who's Chopper?
-Run!

Hey, Dink, look we got
fresh meat here.

(GROANS)

(MEN CHUCKLING)

(SCREAMING)

(MEN LAUGHING)

-Let me go!
-MAN: Shit!

Pull that!

-DINK: Welcome
to the neighborhood.
-(MEN CHUCKLE)

(CAT MEWING)

(EXCLAIMING)

DINK: Oh, shit!

(SCREAMING)

Wild Thing.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

(EXHALES)

And he come down
that wall like a spider, man.

Just zipped right down.

And he uphanded
up all over.

He got more taxmen
on his butt than
the crosstown bus.

It's like a dream
but it was so real.

I couldn't have
imagined it.

-Wild Thing.
-What's that?

Yeah, well, that's your
local street legend.

He's a half human creature
that haunts the Zone.

Now winos around here
swear up and down that
they've him.

That he sometimes, uh,
gives them food.

But winos see a whole
lot of stuff before
the night train express hits.

JANE: I know I saw this guy,
the Wild Man, whatever
you call him.

POLICEMAN: Look, lady,
maybe there's some street
crazy slipped under the radar.

But this rumor has
been going on since
I've been a kid.

I've got the diocese looking
over one shoulder

and the state people
looking over the other.

All we can really do is
get the kids shelter
for a short while.

What made you want
to become a priest?

It must have been
all those Pat O'Brien films.

Hello, Paul.

Hey, Father.

-Got a new sucker, Quinn?
-She says she's leaving
Safe House, Father.

Jane, this is Paul and Lisa.

Jane's my replacement
from the agency.

Hi.

(SCOFFS) So, you finally
had it with us stiffs, huh?

The decision was outta
my hands. Where are
you gonna live?

I got a girlfriend invited
me to stay with her.

Yeah, ask her what her
girlfriend does for a living.

What do you care?

You don't have
any hold on me.

What does your girlfriend
do for a living?

She strings rosary beads.
What's it to you?

You're not as tough
as you think you are, Lisa.

There are people out here
who'd eat you for breakfast.

Like who?

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

BOY: Yes, sir.

Right away, sir.

Here you go, sir.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(EXCLAIMS MOCKINGLY)

(LAUGHS)

You got a date tonight.
You up for it?

-Well...
-I thought you wanted
to make big money.

It's worth three bills a piece
for one night.

Sure. Why not?

You haul a cop,
you lose your luggage.

You pay ball, you can
buy it back cheap.
That's how it works down here.

I hope I have some
clothes left in here.

What... Jesus!

What?

Father, that's one of the men
that attacked me last night.

-You sure?
-Yes, I'm sure.
What are we gonna do?

Gonna work in the Zone,
you might as well meet
the competition here.

Those guys came up short.
I don't want have to make
the rounds.

Hey, Father, what's up?

Having another bake sale?

She says your boy here
attacked her last night.

No, Dink wouldn't do a thing
like that, would you, Dink?

(SCOFFS) Never.

CHOPPER: Uh, besides him
and maybe another dozen
reliable type people

were over at my apartment
all last night.

I just got it redecorated.
I wanted to show it off.

In fact if you care
to stop by,

I extend an invitation
to you both.

Someday they're gonna
scrape you off the sidewalk,
Chopper.

I hope I'm around to see it.

Stay away from my kids.

That old man's been a pain
in my butt for over 20 years.

I'll be happy to fix him
for you.

-Well, I'll let you know
when the time comes.
-Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

-You cut yourself
shaving, huh?
-(CHUCKLES)

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

Here.

* You mean business

* Business

* A smile can get you

* Only so far these days

* Love who you have to

* Just as long as it pays

* It got you this far

* Why should you stop?

* Doing what it takes

* To get to the top

* 'Cause you mean
business, lady

* You mean business

* Split skirt, silk shirt

* Looking good never hurt

* On corporate levels
when you flirt

* Business lady

* There's no need to mention

* Success is your intention

* Yea, yeah, yeah

(CRIES OUT)

So are you a nun or what?

You don't have to be a nun
to work for the agency.

Do you got a boyfriend?

No, not right now.

I lived with a guy
in college for a while.

Ooh! Don't let Father Quinn
hear you say that.

They said
you saw the Wild Thing.

Well, yeah.

I think I did.

Why?
Have you ever seen him?

I thought I did one night.

I was messed up
on crack though.
So who knows?

-What's crack?
-(CHUCKLES)

Where'd they get
you from?

Stevens Point.

-It's in the middle of...
-Wisconsin.

-I know.
-Why? Have you been there?

Close enough.
Grew up in Green Bay.

Green Bay? Really?

How'd you get here?

My dad wanted me to be
a tackle for the Packers.

I wanted to play keyboard
for the Circle Jerks.
Rest is history.

Okay?

Okay.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(WOMAN SQUEALING)

"Not so fast, Sader.

"You have some...

-"Ex..."
-Sound it out.

"Explaining..."

Good.

"Explaining to do.

"Taste a bite of my laser...

"Laser whip, Fishman."

The scenes are pretty
violent, huh?

It's a tough world.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

If it's a big guy wearing
a hockey mask,

don't open the door.

-(KNOCKING CONTINUES)
-Okay.

Lisa.

They're gonna know it was me.
I shouldn't have done it.
(SOBBING)

-Who's gonna know?
-I called the police.

What? Come on.

What? It's okay.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Not now!

Yo!

Yes.

Yeah.

Who called you?

When?

Well, give me 10 minutes.

Get dressed. I think
we're gonna have company.

(SIREN WAILING)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

-Go! Move! Move!
-(PANTING)

(SOOTHING MUSIC PLAYING)

Hope one of you guys
have a warrant.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

What's going on here?

Are you still alive,
white lady?

Oh! Hi. Yes.

Cops are trying to put
some meat on the Chopper.

Ain't nothing but a show.
Do it once a year.

Chopper own them cops.

And he says from what
he can tell about
my lifestyle.

I mean,
they get very personal,
these decorators.

It's like going
to a shrink.

He says that I'm entering
a new phase in my life.

"Serenity", he says,
"that's the ticket."

So down come the centerfolds
from Easyrider magazine,

down come the beer ads
and up goes this.

Well...

What have we here?

I'll kill that little twitch
when they find her.

We like to play
a lot of games.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Nothing.

-Nothing?
-Nothing. Not a goddamn thing.

Somebody must have
tipped him off.

CHOPPER: Hey, Trask,
long time no see.

-Chopper.
-Do me a favor.

Next time you send
the Junior Birdmen over,

please have 'em wipe
their feet before
they come up.

I'll send you the cleaning
bill for the rug.

Night, fellas.

Stop by again sometime.

Let's get outta here.

(ENGINES STARTING)

(BOY SOBBING)

(THUNDER CRACKING)

(CAT MEWING)

-Hello.
(MEWING)

Do I know you?

Hello.

Don't I know you?

Huh? (CLICKING TONGUE)

Come here, kitty.
Come here.

Come on, kitty.

(HISSING PLAYFULLY)

There. Come. That's it.

Come here, baby.

I know you're watching me.

They say you're not real,
but I know you are.

If you ever need somebody
to talk to or just...

(MEWING)

(HISSING)

Kitty.

(CAT MEOWING)

(CRUNCHING)

(MICE SQUEAKING)

(GASPS)

It's you?

Just don't make any fast
moves, okay?
It's pretty spooky in here.

Is this where you live?

You want me to follow you?

Oh, God.
This is really insane.

-(BIRDS SQUAWKING)
-(EXCLAIMS)

Did you do this?

I've seen her skip out the
back. She must have dropped
the dime on us.

-Is she at your place?
-She doesn't have the key.

She's probably back
at the priest's.

-I'll be only too happy, Chop.
-Don't be happy.

Be thorough.

JANE: Who are these people?

Is this your family?

Family?

Is this you? Yes.

Where are they?

Something happened?

Something bad happened?

They were... They were shot?

Killed?

They were shot.
Somebody shot them. And...

And the police caught them.

No?

Police shot

your parents?

One.

One cop

helped kill your parents?

Oh, my God!

Who... Who took care of you
after that?

Who took care of you?

(STRAINING)

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Leah.

You can talk.

(MAN LAUGHING)

No. It's okay.

You can trust me. I won't tell
anybody that I talked to you

and I won't tell them
where you live.

You can trust me.

Who's Leah?

Mama.

-Leah was your mother?
-Mmm.

She...

Was she like your mother?

-Where is she now?
-She went off to air.

-She what?
-Her power station shut down.

Oh, she died.

Did you live in a house?

House like this.

Not a company house.

Company? What company?

Company.

Com...

Company.

Leah didn't work for
the company.

No way, Jose. Blue coats
work for the company.

Who are blue coats?

Police.

Who... How did you...
Who taught you to talk
like this?

-Did Leah teach you to talk?
-Leah?

Stinking bums.

Company people yelling
at each other,
Cousin Louie.

Who's Cousin Louie?

This is Cousin Louie.

(MIMICKING) Picking the zits
from the hits, scraping
the gold from the mold.

10:30 on your dial.
WZLP rocks!

(GIGGLES)

Of course.
You listen to the radio.

We're number one.

So you've lived like this

all this time?

All by yourself?

Why?

The company gets you.

They open you up.

They give you to
the white coats.

And they look into
your private business.

Why did you let me see?

Why did you come help me?

I was...

...by myself.

You were lonely.

Do you know that word?

Lonely.

One.

I was

lonely.

(SIRENS WAILING DISTANTLY)

JANE: That's Safe House!

-Take a right here.
-Yeah.

-(TIRES SCREECHING)
-(PEOPLE MURMURING
INDISTINCTLY)

(EXPLOSION)

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

He's gone away.
Anybody else up there?

Lisa.
But I haven't seen Jane.

OFFICER: Okay,
stand right where you are.

The ladders are on their way.
Just don't move.

Stay right where you are.

(SCREAMING)

Don't jump please!
It's too high!
Just hang on!

-Where are they?
-Help.

Look!

WOMAN: It's Wild Thing.
It's got to be.

(SCREAMING)

(CROWD CLAMORING)

CROWD: (CHANTING)
Wild Thing!
Wild Thing! Wild Thing!

(SIRENS WAILING)

You're all right.

MAN: Come on.

Wild Thing, come down, please!

No!

No!

Look! He's alive!

-(SCREAMING)
-No!

-Hold it back. Hold it.
Back it up.
-I can't see him.

It's okay.

WOMAN: Tragedy, mystery
and drama last night

in the area of this city
known only as the Zone.

Traditional home of the down
and out, the outlaws and the
outcasts of society.

In a spectacular blaze last
night, the Zone lost one of
its few bright spots.

And may have seen the
confirmation of one of its
oldest legends.

The legend of the Wild Thing.

They caught Wild Thing.
They caught Wild Thing.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Grab your life preservers,
mama, 'cause we've been
flooded with requests

for this one today, boys
and girls. So,

Cousin Louie is coming at you
with a little dedication
that's going out to the one,

the only, the legendary,

Wild Thing.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

* You make my heart sing

We as neo-protoplasms
stand in awe.

* You make everything groovy

* Wild thing

Oh, I see him plenty of times
all over the place. Only till
now nobody believed me.

WOMAN: So what did you see?
What was your impression
of the Wild Thing?

Oh, like 6'2", blond,
blue eyed,

like fabulous, like not a
major stud but like, ooh,
shoulders out to here,

tight white pants,
no underwear.

Oh, like a gorilla
only meaner.

You know Motley Crue,
the rock group?
You know the lead singer?

Um... Uh... Big feet,

hairy body. Uh...

Ugly.

* Wild Thing

* You make my heart sing

-(ALL CLAMORING)
-Save your breath, boys.

-He's under wraps.
-MAN: Come on, Matty.
Just one shot.

-No photos. Nothing.
-(ALL GROANING)

Okay. Let's try this again.

-Name?
-He doesn't talk, Maury.

Or maybe we just don't
understand his language.

Okay. We'll bring in
a chimpanzee to translate.

-We should go to the cops.
-Go to the cops an hour later
the house gets torched.

-That doesn't mean they're
in on it.
-Sure.

Look, Lisa, I'm just trying
to take care of you.

You can barely get yourself
up in the morning.

How are you going to take
care of me?

Come on.

-He couldn't have set
the fire, he was with me.
-Oh, yeah? Where was that?

It was on the streets.

Look, miss, right now this guy
is our number one suspect.

He isn't saying anything in
his own defense.

Yeah, well, that's because he
is afraid of the uniforms.

Oh, he is afraid of the uni...
Oh, that's interesting,
I never heard that before.

Yeah. A cop shot his parents.

He told you that?

-A cop and another guy
shot his parents.
-Where?

-Where?
-Yeah.

A van or a truck someplace.

-Winston.
-Yo.

This young lady seems to
be very good friends
with our Wild man

so why don't you take her
statement and send her home?

What does that mean?
That your...
He's such a nice man.

Yeah. He's always been
a moody sucker. Come on.

Winston, do you think you
could get me in to see him
just for a minute?

-(SIGHS)
I'll do what I can, all right?
-Okay.

Oh, my God.

Here. Get this.

No, it's okay. Hello.
It's okay.

Hello. We only have a minute.

They are going to cut me open.

Oh, no, no, they are not
going to cut you open.
Listen,

all blue coats are not like
the ones who killed
your parents.

Blue coats?

Recruited company.

Yes, but you have to talk
to them. You have to tell them
you didn't set that fire.

You talk?

To get into a power station.

Please.

You have to trust somebody
sometime.

Trust?

What's she doing here?
I have an examination to do.

-I thought you
said he'll calm down.
-(SNARLING)

Orderly.

We're gonna need
some sedation here.

(SNARLING)

-Get off me!
-No. No.

Get off me!

Get off me!

Stop!

(SCREAMING)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

CHOPPER: You sounded
pretty shaky
on the phone.

Dink.

He's alive.

-CHOPPER: Who's alive?
-The kid,
the one we thought drowned.

-You sure?
-I saw him today.

Where?

At the station.
He's the Wild Thing.

You've been dipping into
the contraband down there,
Trask?

How do you figure?

The girl, the social worker,
whatever.

She was talking to me.
He remembers us.

(EXHALES)

Well, then the ball's
in your court, huh?

-What do you mean?
-Well, he's in your jail.

-Right.
-Jail is a dangerous place.

No.

No, you've been bleeding me
for too long. I ain't gonna
kill nobody for you.

Not for me. For us.

We've come a long way, friend,
by looking out for each other,
huh?

(SCOFFS)

You know, I'm thinking all
these years...

And this kid is alive.

(LAUGHING) I mean, I've been
having nightmares about this
kid drowning in the water.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Well,

you've already done the time,
you may us well do the crime.

I should have killed you.

Then you wouldn't have anybody
to look out for you.

Yeah...

(ENGINE STARTS)

What was that all about?

Conscience.

You always said you can do
anybody, anyplace, anytime.

Within limits, yeah.

Tonight you get to show
your stuff.

(CHUCKLING)

So,

if I'm not in, make sure they
get this.

This is a flophouse, lady,
not a post office.

-Just make sure they get it,
okay? Thank you.
-Thanks.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(GLASS SHATTERS)

You open the door,
you push the button.

The flash goes off, the guy
gives us each 100 bucks.

-Why don't you do it?
-What, are you scared?

-They say this dude can turn
into a cat.
-Jesus, I'll do it myself.

Anybody comes down,
I'm in the can.

(SNARLING)

Some wise guy in a
drunk tank.

Let him in.

(ALL CLAMORING)

You're going to get all your
questions answered.

We're getting a statement
prepared for you
as soon as we get...

-(KEYS JINGLING)
-OFFICER: (SING-SONG VOICE)
Wild Thing.

Scrappy's come to
take your picture.

What?

(HISSING)

(SNARLING)

Give me the creeps.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(GUNSHOTS)

(SNICKERING)

(DOOR CREAKING)

(PANTING)

You...

I dreamt you always drowned.

But...

(GUNSHOT)

(ALL CLAMORING)

Blue coat.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

OFFICER: Jesus.

Nothing.

Nothing.

(MUMBLING)

Stupid.

-Wild Thing escaped!
Wild Thing escaped!
-ALL: Yay!

Chopper, you're not going to
believe this.
-I just heard on the radio.

-Did Trask help him escape?
-I don't know.

Maybe the kid can turn into
a cat, huh? Maybe he can.

(SIGHS)

You got away.

-You okay?
-(EXCLAIMS SOFTLY)

I'm sorry.

(EXHALES HEAVILY)

To get to the monkey boy we
have to get to
the social worker.

To get to the social worker,
we got to get to the kids.

I want you guys to scour
the streets, huh?

Floyd, what do we have
ashtrays for?

(SHIVERING)

-No! (PANTING)
-What?

Oh!

I was sleep...

Sleep seeing.

It's a nightmare.
You're shaking.

Sometimes... Sleep seeing
I'm with Leah again.
I see her burning.

Ah, it's a dream.
It can't hurt you.

No, it hurts here.

Sparks in the power station.

You're always talking about
electricity.

Leah taught me.

She learnt when the company
put it through her head.

They put electricity
through her head?

To make her be like them.

If you're the wrong voltage,

you can't fit in their socket.

If you're the wrong voltage,
you try to live with them,
sparks!

Blackout in the power station.

Have you ever

wanted to be

with other people?

Who's that?

Is that me?

(LAUGHS)

It's nice.

You make me feel...

Like this.

-That's just because you
haven't seen that many women.
-Yes, I have.

I've seen as many women
as there are cockroaches.

None of them make me
feel like this.

Do you know what...

...men and women do...
Together?

Body bump?

Is that what you call it?

I've seen it.

(MIMICS KISSING)

(MOANING)

(SCREAMING)

It hurts?

Well, not really.

Sounds like it hurts.

Yeah, but...

Of course you haven't...

Belly bumped?

I don't know how.

(STUTTERS) I don't...

Don't know...

(MOANS)

(INHALES SHARPLY)

Hey! Thanks, bro.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

This one we can squeeze.
Pick him up.

-You got it.
-(ENGINE STARTS)

Night time on top,
day time underneath.

-They say there're alligators
down here.
-Alligators?

They're kind of long, green
and...

Knobby with big jaws.

-No alligators, only devils.
-Devils?

(SQUEAKING)

Get thee behind me, Satan!

Oh!

-Devils!
-Devils.

If you go back,
they'll hurt you again.

That's one of the chances
you take when you live with
other people.

You take care of yourself.

-I really think you should be
nice to us, Paulie, huh?
-Oh, yeah.

After all, the good shit
we sold you, huh?

Look man, I told you.
I don't do that shit anymore.

Sure!

The thing is, Paulie, we know
who your hot girlfriend is.

And we can do a real number
on her, huh? Huh?

Yeah, but we just want
the social worker,
kid, you know?

Don't or you'll be
pushing pencils out of
a cup, Paulie. Huh?

Look, you promised you won't
hurt Lisa.

(LAUGHS)

Never. Never.

Trask, 45, was found in his
office last night,
an apparent murder victim.

What, if any, connection his
death has with the Wild Thing
case is still unknown.

Meanwhile, police continue to
scour city streets, in search
of the Wild Thing.

They really expect us to find
the Wild Thing on the streets?

Nah. They just want to keep us
out of the station house.

Keeps the reporters away
from asking about Trask.

Do you think this Wild Thing
is still around?

Yeah. Yeah.

And I got a feeling
it's is going to be
a long night.

We've caught her.

Wait till she comes out
with the others.

Chopper said
no loose ends.

Well, there's no way I go to
the cops. That's out.

Okay. If I give you a ticket,
will you leave town?

And go where?

I have a friend in Boston,
who runs a place for kids.

-Yeah. Anything beats
this dump.
-Good.

Okay, Father. I'm going to
take them down to the station.

-You trust us?
-Should I?

None of this is
your fault, Father.
You've been good to me.

-Be careful.
-Okay.

Come on, let's go.

How are you doing
all this and you're not even
a nun?

Because I like this.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(SCREAMING)

-(SCREAMING)
-Pull out!

(JANE GRUNTS)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

God!

(WHISPERING) They got Jane.

FATHER QUINN:
Don't go after them, son.

Revenge isn't the answer.

God forgive him.

Creep time.

Some crazy street punk
busts out of the city jail
and he gets all paranoid.

Got us out here.

-Dink!
-Get him!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Come on.
Move it, move it, move it!

-We got him, we got him!
-Floor it!

You dirty little scumbag.

Run! Run!

We got him.

-Go!
-(YELLING)

I'll get you for this!

(ENGINE STARTING)

(YELLS)

(GASPS)

Where is your man?
Where'd he go?

You idiot! You almost hit me
with that piece of...

White kid,
painted like Geronimo.
Where did he go?

You black hole...

Let go of me. (YELLS)

(GRUNTS) Somebody help me
out of here.

(PANTING)

Oh God, I'm dead.
I'm dead.

Hey, partner.

Long time no see.

Thanks, partner.

Run, Wild Thing!
Get out of here!

-(YELLS)
-(LAUGHING)

(PANTING)

Ole, toro.

Don't mess with me.

(ALL CLAMORING)

(YELLING)

Hurray!

(SCREAMS)

Get my shotgun.
Tell Freddie to get in here.

-What's the matter?
-Just do what I tell you.

(DOOR CLOSING)

I think your boyfriend's come
to visit.

(GAGS)

Hit the lights.

(COCKS GUN)

Go check on Freddie.

-What?
-I said go check on Freddie.

(STAMMERS) What if
it's out there?

Then shoot it with your gun,
asshole.

Go on.

(CAT MEOWING)

(YELLS)

(SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

You've been shot.

They took you.

(SIRENS WAILING DISTANTLY)

Blue coats!

It's okay. I'll tell them
what happened.

No!

Wild Thing!

Wild Thing!

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

Blue coats give you
to the white coats.

I can help you.
But not if you run.

Hold it! Don't shoot.

Police, Wild Thing
has nothing to do with this.

It was Chopper's gang
that kidnapped me.

It was Chopper's boy who
killed my kids. I saw him.
Please!

(GUNSHOT)

Okay, we're gonna check the
far side, all right?

I'm going in the front.
Remember, I want
this sucker alive.

Jesus Christ.

(GUNSHOT)

Come on, let's go.
Come on. Come on!

(WHISPERING)
Okay, okay. Quick.

Okay, I got him. There's two
of them headed for the stack
by the river.

Get your boys
down there pronto.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

No lucky breaks
this time, kid.

(THUD)

OFFICER: This is the police.

Come out
with your hands in the air.
Throw out your weapons.

Come out.

(CROWD CLAMORING)

(CROWD GASPS)

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

WOMAN: Oh, my God!

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

(CROWD CLAMORING)

No way, Jose.

Divers down there say
the current's really strong.

They want to quit.

He's still alive.

He has to be.

Wish I could tell you
there was any hope.

I put that pair up there.

Some of them,
if you can look close,
got blood on them.

That's people who mess with
the Wild Thing.

GIRL: Oh, man.
Don't start with that.

You didn't see what he done
to Chopper.

You didn't see all them
ambulances all filled up.

-But he dead, man.
-You believe that?

I've seen it on the news.
Man went down in the river.

You try and stay out all night
in the Zone sometime.

You'll see. Wild Thing
got nine lives, sucker.

Only used but one or two.

Come out here some night.
You think you see
a shadow moving,

you think you hear
some voice singing all high
and pretty.

That's Wild Thing, man.

Wild Thing lives, man!
