(chimes)
Tad Hagan: Ah, you're never
going to get the treasure.
The water's too deep.
Sondra Hagan: Yes, I am.
You just have to keep at it.
You have to build up your lungs.
Brendan: What are
you going to do
when you get it, Sondra?
Sondra: I'm going to be free;
free of Merle,
free of this town,
free to get my own car,
and drive right the
heck out of here
all the way down to Florida
where you can pick up oranges
at the side of the road,
and live by the beach
even in the winter.

"Happiness Is a Warm Gun") *

a girl who misses much *

Harold Munday: So, what do
you think? You like?
Sure beats the house
at Madison, huh?
What do you think?
James Munday: Yeah.
Harold: Wait til
your mom sees you.
She's been so, uh, so excited.
You have no idea.
Have you grown?
I didn't think a
person could still grow
after they turned 18,
but, boy, you seem taller.
James: Maybe if
you'd come to visit.
Harold: Clara.
Clara Munday: Oh, look at you.
Oh, it's so good
to have you home.
Just look at you.
You've lost weight.
Harold: I think he's grown.
I was just saying that.
What do you think?
Can a person grow after
they've reached 18?
He's 25 for God sakes.
Clara: Oh, I think
he just got thinner.
We're going to put some
meat on those bones.
You know, come on.
I fixed your favorite dinner,
spaghetti and meat sauce.
Harold: Spaghetti
and meat sauce?
Couldn't you make a
steak? A roast beef?
I mean he probably had
spaghetti and meat sauce
every week for God sakes.
Clara: Yeah, out of a can.
Do you think they slave
over a stove all day
fixing good meat sauce?
(whisper) Harold: Well.
Clara: Give me a break, Harold.
Next time, you fix dinner.
Harold: Clara, I didn't
mean anything. I just...
(door closes)
Harold: So I've
arranged a job for you
in shipping and receiving.
Clara: Uh huh. (affirmative)
Harold: The salary there
is, oh, pretty good,
Clara: Uh huh. (affirmative)
Harold: And the
benefits are excellent.
Clara: Yes.
James: I think I'll just look
around for a while, okay?
Clara: And you'd be working
with the Titler boy.
Harold: Uh huh. (affirmative)
Harold: Bob.
James: I think I'm just going
to look around for a while.
Harold: Well, son,
you see there aren't
that many jobs available.
James: I said I think
I'm just going to look
around for a while.
Clara: Uh, James, I think
your father is concerned
that you get busy.
That's all.
That you not dwell on things.
James: You're afraid I
might dwell on things.
Clara: Well, (laughs) an
idle mind and all that.
James: What do you
think I've been doing
for the last eight years?
Harold: Well, son,
all we're saying,
is that life continues.
James: No! You know?
Aaah!
- (door slams)
- (Clara sighs)
Harold: Well, what
are you going to do
for God sakes?
Just keep him locked up all day?
Clara: I wish we could.
* (mysterious music)
(birds chirping)
(chimes)
(chimes)
Brendan: You're
dreaming. It's a can.
Tad: It's treasure, Brendan.
Brendan: It's so stupid.
Who would throw treasure
into a swimming hole?
Swimming hole pirates?
Tad: Butthead. (laughter)
(chimes)
Tad: Last one there
is a rotten egg.
Brendan: I'm not
racing you guys.
Sondra: Shut up, you guys.
Brendan: Hi, dad.
Merle Hagan: Hey, Squirt.
How you doing, buddy?
Sondra: Hey.
Nancy Hagan: Hey, kids.
You put those dirty
clothes by the washer.
Tad: Okay.
* (rock music plays)
Nancy: Tad?
Tad: What?
Nancy: Your other shoe
better be in there.
* (rock music continues)
Tad: Must be somewhere
in here, mom.
I fold everything
up in my towel.
Nancy: Then show me
and show me quick.
Tad: I must have left
it down by the hole.
Merle: Did I hear you
say you lost a shoe?
Tad: It's not lost.
It's still probably
down by the hole.
Merle: Probably?
Tad: I'm sorry, Merle.
Merle: I'm sorry, Merle.
Don't you sass me.
Did I pay for those shoes?
(loud voice) Did I?
Oh, here we go again.
* (Merle sings a taunt)
* Well it's crying time again.
Nancy: Merle, he's
only nine years old.
Tad: I'm not crying.
Merle: Don't you
talk back to me.
Sondra: Stop it,
Merle, just stop it.
I'll go get the stupid shoe.
Tad: I don't care
about your shoe.
Merle: What?
Sondra: Just leave
him alone. (smack)
Merle: And what exactly
should I do to you, huh?
Sondra: Just stay away.
(heavy breathing)
(slurp)
- (door opens and shuts)
- (sighs)
(footsteps)
* (mysterious music)
* (haunting music plays)
Sondra: (yelling) Hey, what do
you think you're doing?
I asked you what you were doing?
James: I'm sitting.
Sondra: You watching me?
James: Yeah.
Sondra: Can you leave please?
James: Why?
Sondra: Because you're
making me uncomfortable.
James: I was here first.
Sondra: Can you turn around
while I put on my clothes?
James: I saw you take them off.
What's the difference
you putting them back on?
Sondra: Screw it.
James: (chuckles)
(splash)
Sondra: Uh, happy?
James: What's your problem, kid?
Sondra: I had no problem
until you showed up.
Merle: I swear I don't
know what the hell
that girl's thinking
swimming in nothing
but a t-shirt.
Nancy: Get off it!
Merle: Who knows
who's out there?
Nancy: Stop it!
Merle: Don't you
talk to me like that.
James: What's your problem, kid?
Sondra: (sighs)
* (melancholy music)
Female: (television) I've waited
six years for you to walk back
into my life, Derek.
I don't know that
we've captured the love
that I had for you back then.
Male: (television)
Seeing you now has broken
the still image I've
carried in my heart
for so long.
Sondra: Can't
believe it's so hot.
Nancy: Why? You slept
until 12 o'clock.
The boys are down
at the hole already.
Sondra: Mom?
Nancy: Hmm?
Sondra: How did you meet dad?
Nancy: Merle?
Sondra: No, my real dad.
Nancy: Sondra, can't
you see I'm trying
to do something here?
Sondra: I'm going
to go get changed
to go down to the hole.
Nancy: Oh, uh, could
you go to the market,
and get some milk? We're out.
Sondra: Okay.
Merle: Yeah. All right.
I can probably get
it for you next week
that's about the
earliest I can get it.
(ding)
I tell you if you
need it right away
there's a, I've got another line
I can sell you right now.
You going to be in
thee neighborhood
the next day or so?
Come on in. I'll show it to you.
I know. You want what you
got all these years, right?
Yeah, I know. All right.
I tell you what.
Let me put one aside for you.
I'll put your name on it.
I'll put it behind the counter.
If you're going to be around,
you just stop in and ask
for it if I'm not here,
and you can look at it.
But if you know what you want,
I'll just order
another one for you.
No problem.
Just let me call
you back, all right?
(ding)
(door opens)
Sondra: Thanks, Don.
(engine revving)
Merle: Come here. Get back here.
James: Don't touch me.
Merle: I need to talk to
you a minute. (scuffle)
Merle: All right, boy.
Settle down. Settle down.
All right. Look.
Just hand it over.
I saw you take it.
I'm not blind man.
I saw you take it.
I saw you put it down
the front of your pants.
Luke: Hey, what's going on?
Merle: He's got something
that doesn't belong
to him, Luke.
Luke: Oh, does he?
Give me the bat, son. Come on.
What you going to do? Come on.
Give me the bat.
What have you got?
You going to show me?
James: And if I don't?
Luke: Well, I'll go
in call the police.
They can come down.
We can all take a look.
Want to do that?
James: I got money.
I'll pay for them.
Merle: Now you should
have thought about that
a little bit sooner, Einstein.
Luke: What's your name?
Merle: He said,
"What's your name?"
James: James.
Luke: James what?
James: Munday.
Merle: Munday. What the
hell kind of name is that?
Luke: Jimmy Munday?
Give it up. Come on. Give it.
(unzipping)
Luke: Bullets. Get.
(footsteps)
Merle: Are you crazy?
Luke: No, he is.
He killed Joanna
Sproule, Dick's daughter.
Shot her in the head.
You hold this. You
mind the store.
I'll be back.
Merle: Yeah. Yeah, sure.
* (dramatic music)
* (mysterious music)
Dick: You're sure it was him?
Luke: Oh, yeah and
when he said his name
it all, it all came back.
Luke: (breathing heavy)
You want me to call a meeting?
Dick: Yeah, call a meeting.
Sondra: Hey. Hey, wait up.
Remember me? Last
night at the hole?
I was on the dock.
I wanted to swim and
you were watching?
James: Yeah.
Sondra: (sighs) So how
come he let you go?
James: Who?
Sondra: My step-dad.
The one with the bat.
You really scared him.
I haven't seen anyone
do that to him before.
It was nice for a change.
You a klepto?
James: What?
Sondra: Do you steal a lot?
James: No.
Sondra: So how come
you stole just now?
James: I don't know.
Sondra: I read once
that shoplifting
can be a cry for help.
People want to get caught.
James: Really?
You're a smart one.
Sondra: (deep heavy sigh)
Sondra: You ever speak
in complete sentences?
James: Nope.
Sondra: You ever
use a word with more
than two syllables?
James: Probably.
Brendan: The treasure is so deep
we're going to need
like scuba tanks
or that submarine on Discovery.
Tad: I thought you didn't care.
Brendan: Well, if I
thought it was valuable,
and Sondra's going to Florida
maybe she could take
me or something.
Tad: She's not
going to take you.
Brendan: Yeah, right.
You know she is.
Tad: No she won't.
Brendan: You're just jealous.
Tad: Oh, please.
Sondra: This is
my favorite place
in the entire world.
The only place I can get
some privacy around here.
Brendan: Hey, who's
that with Sondra?
James: It doesn't
look so private.
Sondra: That's my brother, Tad.
What a pain.
The freckle-faced
one is Brendan.
He's a sweetheart.
Do you have any
brothers or sisters?
Sondra: (sighs)
I can't imagine
being an only child
with my parents.
My step-father really.
You ever want to kill someone?
Sometimes I imagine
they take him away
for a crime he'd done
in another state.
* (mysterious music)
Except my mom would be sad.
She's weird. She's weird.
* (mysterious music continues)
She pretends we're
the Brady Bunch
when we're really
(unintelligible).
Joanna: James. James.
Sondra: My mom says I have
an overactive imagination.
Joanna: James?
Sondra: Do you ever
read? James? James?
James: You mean like
books and stuff?
Sondra: Yeah.
James: No, not really.
Sondra: Oh, come on.
There must have been
one book you read
you really liked.
James: Yeah, there
was this one book
by Steinbeck I like.
It was about The Depression.
Sondra: Yeah.
James: It's pretty graphic.
Sondra: You mean violent?
James: No, it's about
people starving.
There's this girl in it.
Her baby died.
She met this old bum and he
was about to die, you know,
of starvation,
and she took him
behind this barn,
and she fed him from her breast.
Sondra: Gross.
James: Yeah, but
it's not really.
Even though she was
repulsed by him,
she gave herself to
him to save his life.
Sondra: Well, when
you put it that way,
it could sound pretty romantic.
(water swooshing)
James: Well, you can make
anything sound romantic
if you put it the right way.
Sondra: Yeah.
Tad: Hey, who are you?
Brendan: Yeah.
Sondra: This is
James, my friend.
This is Beavis and Butthead.
Brendan: Oh, she's so funny.
Tad: Oh, hardy, har, har.
Hector Sproule/Scooter:
Why the hell did you let him go?
I mean shoplifting ammunition.
We're talking about
the same caliber here.
Luke: Now, Scooter, I got a
little girl at home too, okay.
So that's why we
called everybody here
so that we can figure
out a way to deal
with this guy so that
repercussions wouldn't come down
on any one of us individually.
Male: That's right.
John: I say we
just grab this guy
and nail him.
He won't be missed.
Male: Now wait a second.
I mean we're not talking about
anything illegal here are we?
John: Maybe.
Male: Now why don't you
talk to Dick about illegal?
The fact that damn
boy is running around
back in this town
ought to be illegal.
Male: I was thinking
we'd just scare him.
That's all.
Scooter: Scare him to
death is more like it.
Luke: Huh. You know
what I don't get?
Is that what the hell
he's doing back here.
I thought the Munday's
moved out of town.
Male: Maybe he's
covering his tracks.
John: His tracks? What tracks?
He was found guilty
and punished.
You can't be punished
for the same crime twice.
Male: You call that punishment?
I call it a slap on the wrist
and I bet Dick here
would agree with me.
Ain't that right, Dick?
Dick Sproule: Yeah.
Male: All right,
Scooter, anybody else
down at the station know
that boy's back in town?
Scooter: Nobody's said anything.
Male: Well, good, y'all
Let's keep it that way
because if the sheriff
finds out about this,
he's just going to
want to try to protect
that little creep.
John: He's right.
We got to grab him first
before anyone else finds out.
Luke: You know
what we got to do?
We got to go on the lookout,
and I say that we put
someone on this store first.
Scooter: I'll do
that, brother boy.
Male: Someone ought
to check the hole
on a regular basis.
John: Good point. Alan
should go down there.
Male: Yeah.
Dick: No, I will.
Scooter: You be okay
with that, brother?
Dick: I'll be fine.
Scooter: Okay. Next
time we spot him,
we don't let him
out of our sight
until he's out of our lives.
* (dramatic music)
James: (bloop, bloop, bloop)
Brendan: You think
it's treasure?
James: I doubt it.
Tad: That's what I said.
Brendan: It could be a robbers.
Sondra says its diamonds.
Sondra: Well, whatever
it is we share it.
You promise?
James: Sure.
Tad: Come on, Sondra.
Come on, Brendan.
Brendan: Yeah, come on, Sondra.
We'll be late for dinner.
(footsteps)
James: All right,
Sondra, your thing.
Sondra: Thanks.
Meet me here after dinner?
James: Okay.
* (dramatic music)
Sondra: (humming)
Nancy: My, aren't
we chipper tonight?
Tad: Sondra's got a boyfriend.
Sondra: Do not.
Tad: Do too.
Brendan: Well,
you sure like him. (chuckles)
Sondra: Brendan.
Merle: Oh, she
likes him all right.
- Sondra: What'd you know?
- Nancy: Sondra!
Merle: Don't think
you're not too old
to get a good spanking.
Nancy: What's his name, honey?
Merle: Daffy Duck.
You would have to be Daffy
to be attracted to
Sondra, huh? (laughs)
Nancy: Merle, grow up would you?
Brendan: His name is James.
- Sondra: Brendan.
- Brendan: James Munday.
Merle: James Munday?
Brendan: Uh huh. (affirmative)
Merle: That's the boy we
picked up for shoplifting.
Nancy: Shoplifting?
Merle: Yeah, but
to hell with that.
He killed some girl.
Sondra: (whispers) What?
Brendan: James is a murderer?
Merle: Cold blooded.
Blew her brains out
and then went to jail.
Nancy: Sondra, you're
seeing this person?
Sondra: Merle, what
are you talking about?
Brendan: Maybe he escaped.
Merle: I'm talking that
he killed a young girl
just about your age
named Joanna Sproule.
He was a juvenile
when it happened,
which is the lame
reason why he's out,
and wondering around right now.
Sondra: I don't believe you.
How come I never heard of it?
Merle: Because it happened
before we move here Sherlock.
Nancy: Well, you
kids are not swimming
at the swimming hole any more.
Nancy: I'm calling the police.
Sondra: No!
Merle: Sit down. They're
not going to do anything.
Sondra: Because he
didn't do anything.
He's sweet and sensitive.
Merle: Oh, yeah. he's
a freaking puppy dog.
Sondra: Drop dead.
Merle: So help me, God.
I'm going to smack you
from here to Michigan.
Sondra: Good. Then
maybe he'll kill (smack) you.
Merle: Sondra! You are
not seeing him again.
(door slams)
(splash)
(chimes)
* (mysterious music)
(splashing)
James: (heavy breathing)
* (mysterious music)
James: (bloop, bloop, bloop)
James: Aaaaah!
Phew.
Nancy: Sondra? Sondra? Merle?
She's gone. She
went out the window.
Merle: Oh, for crying out loud.
I'm going to kill that girl.
Nancy: She's probably
down at the hole.
Boys: Can I go?
Merle: Hey, everybody,
just take a bromo will you?
Boys: Oh, man.
Brendan: He never lets us go.
Tad: I know (door closes)
Sondra: James?
James?
(footsteps)
James?
(footsteps)
James?
James?
Merle: Time to come home Sondra.
Sondra: Leave me alone.
Merle: Now come on before
you get yourself killed.
Sondra: Maybe I
want to get killed.
Ever think of that?
I'd rather be killed than have
to spend the rest of my
life living around you.
Merle: Think you're in love
with that little creep?
Let me tell you
something about guys.
They only want one
thing from a woman,
and they've wanted it
ever since Eve went
and covered it up
with a fig leaf.
Sondra: You're disgusting.
Merle: Yeah, well
it's in the Bible
so you know it's true.
A guy gets an itching
for a girl,
and they'll pay for
it, fight for it.
He'll kill for it.
You know you're a very
pretty girl, Sondra?
Everything that attracted
me to your mother
you've got in spades.
* (dramatic music)
I could be very,
very good to you.
Sondra: Leave me alone.
Merle: Hey, get
back here right now.
Sondra: Leave me alone.
Get away from me.
Merle: Get back here.
Merle: Sondra.
Sondra: Help me!
Merle: Get up. Get up.
Merle: Quit fighting
me Sondra. Get up.
(thud)
Merle: Ow!
Sondra: Get out of here.
James: Come on. Let's go.
Merle: I'll kill you, you
little son of a bitch.
Huh, oh.
Nancy: Merle, what happened?
Merle: Nothing.
Nancy: Where's Sondra?
Merle: She wouldn't come home.
Nancy: Oh, my God.
Merle: She'll
come home tomorrow,
when she's cold and
tired and hungry.
Nancy: I'm going
to call the police.
Merle: Look would you please
just leave them out of this.
I'll get her in the morning.
Nancy: Where? Where
will you get her?
Merle: I said I'd get her.
(floor creaks)
Merle: (heavy breathing)
Nancy: But what about that boy?
He might be out there with her?
Sheriff: Well, we
can only bring him in
if he screws up again.
Nancy: With my daughter?
Sheriff: Chances
are she'll show up
before sun up.
Twenty-four hours
is the general rule,
but like I said if she doesn't,
we'll get into it first
thing tomorrow morning.
(footsteps)
* (dramatic music)
- Sondra: Where we going?
- James: (deep breathing)
James?
James: What?
Sondra: Where we going?
James: Somewhere where
no one will find us.
* (dramatic music continues)
You okay?
Sondra: Yeah.
(match striking)
* (mysterious music)
Sondra: How do you
know no one's going
to find us here?
James: Because
everything's exactly
where I left it eight years ago.
Sondra: Was this your hideout?
James: No, this
isn't my hideout.
James: (sighs)
Sondra: Did you
really kill that girl?
James: Yeah.
James: It was a pact.
We were supposed to do
it at the same time.
Sondra: Why would you
want to kill yourselves?
James: Boy, you of
all people, I think
would understand why.
Sondra: I don't.
Merle makes me want to
kill him not myself.
I want to be around
to get even with him.
It makes me want to live.
James: What if you
never get even with him?
What if Merle never dies?
Sondra: How could you shoot her?
James: I didn't.
Sondra: But you said...
James: Her gun worked,
and mine didn't.
* (melancholy music)
When I looked down at her,
and I saw her face,
the only thing I
wanted in the world was
for her to be alive.
I freaked out. I ran.
I carried her all the way to the
hospital, but I was too late.
Sondra: God, James.
James: I just want
it to be over with.
Sondra: Hanging around
here where she died
is getting it over with?
James: Yeah.
Did you ever realize how fast
your life could change?
One minute you're
going to school
thinking about boys
and whatever homework
you didn't do,
and in a blink your whole
life changes forever.
A drive-by shooting,
you're dead,
a hunting accident,
you're blind.
You fall off a bike
and you're nothing
but a talking head
in a wheelchair
for the rest of your life.
One Christmas tree
fry and a whole family
could be taken out. (slap) Bang!
It's forever changed.
Sondra: That's how
it all started.
The whole universe they say.
Nothing, and then
bang! Something.
* (melancholy music continues)
James: That's exactly my point.
James: Eight years
I sat in prison.
That's all I could
think about was death.
And bang! I killed her.
Sondra: But you didn't.
James: Bang! I chickened out.
Maybe my gun didn't jam.
Maybe I didn't ever
pull the trigger.
Eight years in there, you know,
and you start to wonder
maybe I did kill her.
Bang! I'm a murderer.
Bang! She's dead.
Bang! Her whole
family's life is ruined.
(loud whisper) Bang!
I'll never see her again.
James: (whispering)
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
James: (sorrowful sigh)
How do you get over
something like that?
Sondra: I don't know.
* (mysterious music)
James: Maybe you don't.
Nancy: It's morning.
Are you looking for
my daughter yet?
Sheriff: Look, Nancy,
we're going to do
everything we can I promise.
Sheriff: I need you
to relax though.
Nancy: How can I relax?
My daughter is missing?
Sheriff: Listen, I'm
going to send somebody
out there right away,
Sheriff: and I'll be
in touch with you.
Nancy: Okay.
Sheriff: Bye.
Great, just the
guy I want to see.
Nancy Hagan's been
calling here all night.
Apparently, her
daughter ran away.
You remember Jimmy Munday,
the guy who killed Dick's girl
a couple of years back?
Scooter: Uh, yeah.
Sheriff: Well, he's
been hanging out
up at the hole up
at the State forest
and these two kids have
been seen together.
So I think you should
head out and have a look.
The last thing we
need is for this guy
to kill another teenager.
Scooter: I'm on it.
(phone ringing)
Dick: Hello.
Scooter: Munday's
down at the hole.
I'm headed down there.
I'll call the others.
Dick: Give me a head start.
Scooter: You got
it little brother.
* (mysterious music)
Sondra: (sighs)
Sondra: James?
* (mysterious music)
* (melodic drum music)
James: (bloop, bloop, bloop)
James: Aah, phew, phew.
James: (grunts and
heavy breathing)
* (mysterious music)
* (melodic drum music
continues) *
James: Aaaaah!
(splashing)
Sondra: Oh, my God.
You got the treasure.
(thud)
Sondra: That's it?
That's what was going to
get me away from here?
James: It can do that.
Remember anything
put the right way
can sound romantic.
Sondra: James, what was
it doing down there?
James: I threw it there.
Sondra: This is the
gun that jammed?
James: Yup.
Right there.
Fifteen degrees of separation.
(gun cocking)
The difference between
life and death.
Sondra: James, this is the
proof you didn't do it.
James: I did do it. (thud)
James: (deep breath)
I loaded it for her.
We had a pact,
and I walked away.
Now I can make it right.
Sondra: James, it
was eight years ago.
James: Now I can finish
something I started for once.
Sondra: How about
finishing your life?
All the way through.
I mean at 16, I
figure what do I got?
Another 60 years maybe?
I can put up with that
no matter how bad.
Look, I haven't even
lived long enough
to make my own decisions yet,
drive my own car, have
a house, a family.
Then I can decide what
to do if it's so bad.
James, I know Joanna's gone,
Sondra: and she must
have been wonderful
if you loved her so much,
but other girls
will love you too.
Maybe not like
her, but they will.
I love you.
James: Where does
it come from, huh?
All this hope.
Dick: Munday.
All right, you just
step away, Miss.
Sondra: Oh, my god.
Dick: No, step away.
That man killed my daughter.
Sondra: No he
didn't do anything.
Its right here, the proof.
James: No, he's right. Go.
Sondra: No, I don't want too.
James: Go. Go.
Dick: Miss.
James: Stand back.
Sheriff: Dick Sproule.
Dick: Hello, Sheriff. Back off.
Sheriff: Put the gun down.
Dick: The boy's got to pay.
Come one. He's got a gun.
He broke his parole.
Sheriff: That's for
me to worry about.
Now both of you
put your guns down.
Scooter: Sheriff?
Sheriff: Scooter,
what are you doing?
Dick: We figured
you be the first
to protect him Sheriff.
Sheriff: It's my job, Dick.
Dick: Your job is to
catch the criminals,
and put them away.
Dick: You seem
to have fallen down
in that aspect here.
Dick: Come on, Miss. Step away.
Sheriff: So two or
three innocent people
are going to get themselves hurt
or killed so you guys can
play vigilante justice?
Dick: Don't lecture
me about justice.
Sheriff: Now Jimmy,
throw down your gun.
No one's going to hurt you.
Sondra: It's not
even loaded, Sheriff.
It's jammed from eight years ago
just like he said.
You can see it, Mr. Sproule.
Sheriff: Come on, Jimmy.
Throw it down.
You step away, Miss.
Sondra: Throw them
the gun, James.
Please throw them the gun.
Sondra: (screaming) Noooo!
(gunshots)
Sheriff: Mother of God.

Tad Hagan: Ah, you're never
going to get the treasure.
The water's too deep.
Sondra Hagan: Yes, I am.
You just have to keep at it.
You have to build up your lungs.
Brendan: What are
you going to do
when you get it, Sondra?
Sondra: I'm going to be free;
free of Merle,
free of this town,
free to get my own car,
and drive right the
heck out of here
all the way down to Florida
where you can pick up oranges
at the side of the road,

Harold Munday: So, what do
you think? You like?
Sure beats the house
at Madison, huh?
What do you think?
James Munday: Yeah.
Harold: Wait til
your mom sees you.
She's been so, uh, so excited.
You have no idea.
Have you grown?
I didn't think a
person could still grow
after they turned 18,
but, boy, you seem taller.
James: Maybe if
you'd come to visit.
Harold: Clara.
Clara Munday: Oh, look at you.
Oh, it's so good
to have you home.
Just look at you.
You've lost weight.
Harold: I think he's grown.
I was just saying that.
What do you think?
Can a person grow after
they've reached 18?
He's 25 for God sakes.
Clara: Oh, I think
he just got thinner.
We're going to put some
meat on those bones.
You know, come on.
I fixed your favorite dinner,
spaghetti and meat sauce.
Harold: Spaghetti
and meat sauce?
Couldn't you make a
steak? A roast beef?
I mean he probably had
spaghetti and meat sauce
every week for God sakes.
Clara: Yeah, out of a can.
Do you think they slave
over a stove all day
fixing good meat sauce?
(whisper) Harold: Well.
Clara: Give me a break, Harold.
Next time, you fix dinner.
Harold: Clara, I didn't
mean anything. I just...
(door closes)
Harold: So I've
arranged a job for you
in shipping and receiving.
Clara: Uh huh. (affirmative)
Harold: The salary there
is, oh, pretty good,
Clara: Uh huh. (affirmative)
Harold: And the
benefits are excellent.
Clara: Yes.
James: I think I'll just look
around for a while, okay?
Clara: And you'd be working
with the Titler boy.
Harold: Uh huh. (affirmative)
Harold: Bob.
James: I think I'm just going
to look around for a while.
Harold: Well, son,
you see there aren't
that many jobs available.
James: I said I think
I'm just going to look
around for a while.
Clara: Uh, James, I think
your father is concerned
that you get busy.
That's all.
That you not dwell on things.
James: You're afraid I
might dwell on things.
Clara: Well, (laughs) an
idle mind and all that.
James: What do you
think I've been doing
for the last eight years?
Harold: Well, son,
all we're saying,
is that life continues.
James: No! You know?
Aaah!
- (door slams)

Harold: Well, what
are you going to do
for God sakes?
Just keep him locked up all day?

and show me quick.
Tad: I must have left
it down by the hole.
Merle: Did I hear you
say you lost a shoe?
Tad: It's not lost.
It's still probably
down by the hole.
Merle: Probably?
Tad: I'm sorry, Merle.
Merle: I'm sorry, Merle.
Don't you sass me.
Did I pay for those shoes?

Oh, here we go again.

Merle, just stop it.
I'll go get the stupid shoe.

Sondra: Can you leave please?
James: Why?
Sondra: Because you're
making me uncomfortable.
James: I was here first.
Sondra: Can you turn around
while I put on my clothes?
James: I saw you take them off.
What's the difference
you putting them back on?
Sondra: Screw it.
James: (chuckles)
(splash)
Sondra: Uh, happy?
James: What's your problem, kid?
Sondra: I had no problem
until you showed up.

know what the hell
that girl's thinking
swimming in nothing
but a t-shirt.

Female: (television) I've waited
six years for you to walk back
into my life, Derek.
I don't know that
we've captured the love
that I had for you back then.

Seeing you now has broken
the still image I've
carried in my heart
for so long.
Sondra: Can't
believe it's so hot.
Nancy: Why? You slept
until 12 o'clock.
The boys are down
at the hole already.
Sondra: Mom?
Nancy: Hmm?
Sondra: How did you meet dad?
Nancy: Merle?
Sondra: No, my real dad.
Nancy: Sondra, can't
you see I'm trying
to do something here?
Sondra: I'm going
to go get changed
to go down to the hole.
Nancy: Oh, uh, could
you go to the market,
and get some milk? We're out.
Sondra: Okay.
Merle: Yeah. All right.
I can probably get
it for you next week
that's about the
earliest I can get it.
(ding)
I tell you if you
need it right away
there's a, I've got another line
I can sell you right now.
You going to be in
thee neighborhood
the next day or so?
Come on in. I'll show it to you.
I know. You want what you
got all these years, right?
Yeah, I know. All right.
I tell you what.
Let me put one aside for you.
I'll put your name on it.
I'll put it behind the counter.
If you're going to be around,
you just stop in and ask
for it if I'm not here,
and you can look at it.
But if you know what you want,
I'll just order
another one for you.
No problem.
Just let me call
you back, all right?
(ding)
(door opens)
Sondra: Thanks, Don.
(engine revving)
Merle: Come here. Get back here.
James: Don't touch me.
Merle: I need to talk to
you a minute. (scuffle)
Merle: All right, boy.
Settle down. Settle down.
All right. Look.
Just hand it over.
I saw you take it.
I'm not blind man.
I saw you take it.
I saw you put it down
the front of your pants.
Luke: Hey, what's going on?
Merle: He's got something
that doesn't belong
to him, Luke.
Luke: Oh, does he?
Give me the bat, son. Come on.
What you going to do? Come on.
Give me the bat.
What have you got?
You going to show me?
James: And if I don't?
Luke: Well, I'll go
in call the police.
They can come down.
We can all take a look.
Want to do that?
James: I got money.
I'll pay for them.
Merle: Now you should
have thought about that
a little bit sooner, Einstein.
Luke: What's your name?
Merle: He said,
"What's your name?"
James: James.
Luke: James what?
James: Munday.
Merle: Munday. What the
hell kind of name is that?
Luke: Jimmy Munday?
Give it up. Come on. Give it.
(unzipping)
Luke: Bullets. Get.
(footsteps)
Merle: Are you crazy?
Luke: No, he is.
He killed Joanna
Sproule, Dick's daughter.
Shot her in the head.
You hold this. You
mind the store.
I'll be back.
Merle: Yeah. Yeah, sure.
* (dramatic music)
* (mysterious music)
Dick: You're sure it was him?
Luke: Oh, yeah and
when he said his name
it all, it all came back.
Luke: (breathing heavy)
You want me to call a meeting?
Dick: Yeah, call a meeting.
Sondra: Hey. Hey, wait up.
Remember me? Last
night at the hole?
I was on the dock.
I wanted to swim and
you were watching?
James: Yeah.
Sondra: (sighs) So how
come he let you go?
James: Who?
Sondra: My step-dad.
The one with the bat.
You really scared him.
I haven't seen anyone
do that to him before.
It was nice for a change.
You a klepto?
James: What?
Sondra: Do you steal a lot?
James: No.
Sondra: So how come
you stole just now?
James: I don't know.
Sondra: I read once
that shoplifting
can be a cry for help.
People want to get caught.
James: Really?
You're a smart one.
Sondra: (deep heavy sigh)
Sondra: You ever speak
in complete sentences?
James: Nope.
Sondra: You ever
use a word with more
than two syllables?
James: Probably.
Brendan: The treasure is so deep
we're going to need
like scuba tanks
or that submarine on Discovery.
Tad: I thought you didn't care.
Brendan: Well, if I
thought it was valuable,
and Sondra's going to Florida
maybe she could take
me or something.
Tad: She's not
going to take you.
Brendan: Yeah, right.
You know she is.
Tad: No she won't.
Brendan: You're just jealous.
Tad: Oh, please.
Sondra: This is
my favorite place
in the entire world.
The only place I can get
some privacy around here.
Brendan: Hey, who's
that with Sondra?
James: It doesn't
look so private.
Sondra: That's my brother, Tad.
What a pain.
The freckle-faced
one is Brendan.
He's a sweetheart.
Do you have any
brothers or sisters?
Sondra: (sighs)
I can't imagine
being an only child
with my parents.
My step-father really.
You ever want to kill someone?
Sometimes I imagine
they take him away
for a crime he'd done
in another state.
* (mysterious music)
Except my mom would be sad.
She's weird. She's weird.

She pretends we're
the Brady Bunch
when we're really
(unintelligible).
Joanna: James. James.
Sondra: My mom says I have
an overactive imagination.
Joanna: James?
Sondra: Do you ever
read? James? James?
James: You mean like
books and stuff?
Sondra: Yeah.
James: No, not really.
Sondra: Oh, come on.
There must have been
one book you read
you really liked.
James: Yeah, there
was this one book
by Steinbeck I like.
It was about The Depression.
Sondra: Yeah.
James: It's pretty graphic.
Sondra: You mean violent?
James: No, it's about
people starving.
There's this girl in it.
Her baby died.
She met this old bum and he
was about to die, you know,
of starvation,
and she took him
behind this barn,
and she fed him from her breast.
Sondra: Gross.
James: Yeah, but
it's not really.
Even though she was
repulsed by him,
she gave herself to
him to save his life.
Sondra: Well, when
you put it that way,
it could sound pretty romantic.
(water swooshing)
James: Well, you can make
anything sound romantic
if you put it the right way.
Sondra: Yeah.
Tad: Hey, who are you?
Brendan: Yeah.
Sondra: This is
James, my friend.
This is Beavis and Butthead.
Brendan: Oh, she's so funny.
Tad: Oh, hardy, har, har.
Hector Sproule/Scooter:
Why the hell did you let him go?
I mean shoplifting ammunition.
We're talking about
the same caliber here.
Luke: Now, Scooter, I got a
little girl at home too, okay.
So that's why we
called everybody here
so that we can figure
out a way to deal
with this guy so that
repercussions wouldn't come down
on any one of us individually.
Male: That's right.
John: I say we
just grab this guy
and nail him.
He won't be missed.
Male: Now wait a second.
I mean we're not talking about
anything illegal here are we?
John: Maybe.
Male: Now why don't you
talk to Dick about illegal?
The fact that damn
boy is running around
back in this town
ought to be illegal.
Male: I was thinking
we'd just scare him.
That's all.
Scooter: Scare him to
death is more like it.
Luke: Huh. You know
what I don't get?
Is that what the hell
he's doing back here.
I thought the Munday's
moved out of town.
Male: Maybe he's
covering his tracks.
John: His tracks? What tracks?
He was found guilty
and punished.
You can't be punished
for the same crime twice.
Male: You call that punishment?
I call it a slap on the wrist
and I bet Dick here
would agree with me.
Ain't that right, Dick?
Dick Sproule: Yeah.
Male: All right,
Scooter, anybody else
down at the station know
that boy's back in town?
Scooter: Nobody's said anything.
Male: Well, good, y'all
Let's keep it that way
because if the sheriff
finds out about this,
he's just going to
want to try to protect
that little creep.
John: He's right.
We got to grab him first
before anyone else finds out.
Luke: You know
what we got to do?
We got to go on the lookout,
and I say that we put
someone on this store first.
Scooter: I'll do
that, brother boy.
Male: Someone ought
to check the hole
on a regular basis.
John: Good point. Alan
should go down there.
Male: Yeah.
Dick: No, I will.
Scooter: You be okay
with that, brother?
Dick: I'll be fine.
Scooter: Okay. Next
time we spot him,
we don't let him
out of our sight
until he's out of our lives.
* (dramatic music)
James: (bloop, bloop, bloop)
Brendan: You think
it's treasure?
James: I doubt it.
Tad: That's what I said.
Brendan: It could be a robbers.
Sondra says its diamonds.
Sondra: Well, whatever
it is we share it.
You promise?
James: Sure.
Tad: Come on, Sondra.
Come on, Brendan.
Brendan: Yeah, come on, Sondra.
We'll be late for dinner.
(footsteps)
James: All right,
Sondra, your thing.
Sondra: Thanks.
Meet me here after dinner?
James: Okay.

Sondra: (humming)
Nancy: My, aren't
we chipper tonight?
Tad: Sondra's got a boyfriend.
Sondra: Do not.
Tad: Do too.
Brendan: Well,
you sure like him. (chuckles)
Sondra: Brendan.
Merle: Oh, she
likes him all right.
- Sondra: What'd you know?
- Nancy: Sondra!
Merle: Don't think
you're not too old
to get a good spanking.
Nancy: What's his name, honey?
Merle: Daffy Duck.
You would have to be Daffy
to be attracted to
Sondra, huh? (laughs)
Nancy: Merle, grow up would you?
Brendan: His name is James.
- Sondra: Brendan.
- Brendan: James Munday.
Merle: James Munday?
Brendan: Uh huh. (affirmative)
Merle: That's the boy we
picked up for shoplifting.
Nancy: Shoplifting?
Merle: Yeah, but
to hell with that.
He killed some girl.
Sondra: (whispers) What?
Brendan: James is a murderer?
Merle: Cold blooded.
Blew her brains out
and then went to jail.
Nancy: Sondra, you're
seeing this person?
Sondra: Merle, what
are you talking about?
Brendan: Maybe he escaped.
Merle: I'm talking that
he killed a young girl
just about your age
named Joanna Sproule.
He was a juvenile
when it happened,
which is the lame
reason why he's out,
and wondering around right now.
Sondra: I don't believe you.
How come I never heard of it?
Merle: Because it happened
before we move here Sherlock.
Nancy: Well, you
kids are not swimming
at the swimming hole any more.
Nancy: I'm calling the police.
Sondra: No!
Merle: Sit down. They're
not going to do anything.
Sondra: Because he
didn't do anything.
He's sweet and sensitive.
Merle: Oh, yeah. he's
a freaking puppy dog.
Sondra: Drop dead.
Merle: So help me, God.
I'm going to smack you
from here to Michigan.
Sondra: Good. Then
maybe he'll kill (smack) you.
Merle: Sondra! You are
not seeing him again.

Nancy: Sondra? Sondra? Merle?
She's gone. She
went out the window.
Merle: Oh, for crying out loud.
I'm going to kill that girl.
Nancy: She's probably
down at the hole.
Boys: Can I go?
Merle: Hey, everybody,
just take a bromo will you?
Boys: Oh, man.
Brendan: He never lets us go.
Tad: I know (door closes)
Sondra: James?
James?
(footsteps)
James?
(footsteps)
James?
James?
Merle: Time to come home Sondra.
Sondra: Leave me alone.
Merle: Now come on before
you get yourself killed.
Sondra: Maybe I
want to get killed.
Ever think of that?
I'd rather be killed than have
to spend the rest of my
life living around you.
Merle: Think you're in love
with that little creep?
Let me tell you
something about guys.
They only want one
thing from a woman,
and they've wanted it
ever since Eve went
and covered it up
with a fig leaf.
Sondra: You're disgusting.
Merle: Yeah, well
it's in the Bible
so you know it's true.
A guy gets an itching
for a girl,
and they'll pay for
it, fight for it.
He'll kill for it.
You know you're a very
pretty girl, Sondra?
Everything that attracted
me to your mother
you've got in spades.
* (dramatic music)
I could be very,
very good to you.
Sondra: Leave me alone.
Merle: Hey, get
back here right now.
Sondra: Leave me alone.
Get away from me.
Merle: Get back here.
Merle: Sondra.
Sondra: Help me!
Merle: Get up. Get up.
Merle: Quit fighting
me Sondra. Get up.
(thud)
Merle: Ow!
Sondra: Get out of here.
James: Come on. Let's go.
Merle: I'll kill you, you
little son of a bitch.
Huh, oh.
Nancy: Merle, what happened?
Merle: Nothing.
Nancy: Where's Sondra?
Merle: She wouldn't come home.
Nancy: Oh, my God.
Merle: She'll
come home tomorrow,
when she's cold and
tired and hungry.
Nancy: I'm going
to call the police.
Merle: Look would you please
just leave them out of this.
I'll get her in the morning.
Nancy: Where? Where
will you get her?
Merle: I said I'd get her.
(floor creaks)
Merle: (heavy breathing)
Nancy: But what about that boy?
He might be out there with her?
Sheriff: Well, we
can only bring him in
if he screws up again.
Nancy: With my daughter?
Sheriff: Chances
are she'll show up
before sun up.
Twenty-four hours
is the general rule,
but like I said if she doesn't,
we'll get into it first
thing tomorrow morning.
(footsteps)
* (dramatic music)
- Sondra: Where we going?
- James: (deep breathing)
James?
James: What?
Sondra: Where we going?
James: Somewhere where
no one will find us.
* (dramatic music continues)
You okay?
Sondra: Yeah.
(match striking)
* (mysterious music)
Sondra: How do you
know no one's going
to find us here?
James: Because
everything's exactly
where I left it eight years ago.
Sondra: Was this your hideout?
James: No, this
isn't my hideout.
James: (sighs)
Sondra: Did you
really kill that girl?
James: Yeah.
James: It was a pact.
We were supposed to do
it at the same time.
Sondra: Why would you
want to kill yourselves?
James: Boy, you of
all people, I think
would understand why.
Sondra: I don't.
Merle makes me want to
kill him not myself.
I want to be around
to get even with him.
It makes me want to live.
James: What if you
never get even with him?
What if Merle never dies?
Sondra: How could you shoot her?
James: I didn't.
Sondra: But you said...
James: Her gun worked,
and mine didn't.
* (melancholy music)
When I looked down at her,
and I saw her face,
the only thing I
wanted in the world was
for her to be alive.
I freaked out. I ran.
I carried her all the way to the
hospital, but I was too late.
Sondra: God, James.
James: I just want
it to be over with.
Sondra: Hanging around
here where she died
is getting it over with?
James: Yeah.
Did you ever realize how fast
your life could change?
One minute you're
going to school
thinking about boys
and whatever homework
you didn't do,
and in a blink your whole
life changes forever.
A drive-by shooting,
you're dead,
a hunting accident,
you're blind.
You fall off a bike
and you're nothing
but a talking head
in a wheelchair
for the rest of your life.
One Christmas tree
fry and a whole family
could be taken out. (slap) Bang!
It's forever changed.
Sondra: That's how
it all started.
The whole universe they say.
Nothing, and then
bang! Something.
* (melancholy music continues)
James: That's exactly my point.
James: Eight years
I sat in prison.
That's all I could
think about was death.
And bang! I killed her.
Sondra: But you didn't.
James: Bang! I chickened out.
Maybe my gun didn't jam.
Maybe I didn't ever
pull the trigger.
Eight years in there, you know,
and you start to wonder
maybe I did kill her.
Bang! I'm a murderer.
Bang! She's dead.
Bang! Her whole
family's life is ruined.
(loud whisper) Bang!
I'll never see her again.
James: (whispering)
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
James: (sorrowful sigh)
How do you get over
something like that?
Sondra: I don't know.
* (mysterious music)
James: Maybe you don't.
Nancy: It's morning.
Are you looking for
my daughter yet?
Sheriff: Look, Nancy,
we're going to do
everything we can I promise.
Sheriff: I need you
to relax though.
Nancy: How can I relax?
My daughter is missing?
Sheriff: Listen, I'm
going to send somebody
out there right away,
Sheriff: and I'll be
in touch with you.
Nancy: Okay.
Sheriff: Bye.
Great, just the
guy I want to see.
Nancy Hagan's been
calling here all night.
Apparently, her
daughter ran away.
You remember Jimmy Munday,
the guy who killed Dick's girl
a couple of years back?
Scooter: Uh, yeah.
Sheriff: Well, he's
been hanging out
up at the hole up
at the State forest
and these two kids have
been seen together.
So I think you should
head out and have a look.
The last thing we
need is for this guy
to kill another teenager.
Scooter: I'm on it.
(phone ringing)
Dick: Hello.
Scooter: Munday's
down at the hole.
I'm headed down there.
I'll call the others.
Dick: Give me a head start.
Scooter: You got
it little brother.
* (mysterious music)
Sondra: (sighs)
Sondra: James?
* (mysterious music)
* (melodic drum music)
James: (bloop, bloop, bloop)
James: Aah, phew, phew.
James: (grunts and
heavy breathing)
* (mysterious music)
* (melodic drum music
continues) *
James: Aaaaah!
(splashing)
Sondra: Oh, my God.
You got the treasure.
(thud)
Sondra: That's it?
That's what was going to
get me away from here?
James: It can do that.
Remember anything
put the right way
can sound romantic.
Sondra: James, what was
it doing down there?
James: I threw it there.
Sondra: This is the
gun that jammed?
James: Yup.
Right there.
Fifteen degrees of separation.
(gun cocking)
The difference between
life and death.
Sondra: James, this is the
proof you didn't do it.
James: I did do it. (thud)
James: (deep breath)
I loaded it for her.
We had a pact,
and I walked away.
Now I can make it right.
Sondra: James, it
was eight years ago.
James: Now I can finish
something I started for once.
Sondra: How about
finishing your life?
All the way through.
I mean at 16, I
figure what do I got?
Another 60 years maybe?
I can put up with that
no matter how bad.
Look, I haven't even
lived long enough
to make my own decisions yet,
drive my own car, have
a house, a family.
Then I can decide what
to do if it's so bad.
James, I know Joanna's gone,
Sondra: and she must
have been wonderful
if you loved her so much,
but other girls
will love you too.
Maybe not like
her, but they will.
I love you.
James: Where does
it come from, huh?
All this hope.
Dick: Munday.
All right, you just
step away, Miss.
Sondra: Oh, my god.
Dick: No, step away.
That man killed my daughter.
Sondra: No he
didn't do anything.
Its right here, the proof.
James: No, he's right. Go.
Sondra: No, I don't want too.
James: Go. Go.
Dick: Miss.
James: Stand back.
Sheriff: Dick Sproule.
Dick: Hello, Sheriff. Back off.
Sheriff: Put the gun down.
Dick: The boy's got to pay.
Come one. He's got a gun.
He broke his parole.
Sheriff: That's for
me to worry about.
Now both of you
put your guns down.
Scooter: Sheriff?
Sheriff: Scooter,
what are you doing?
Dick: We figured
you be the first
to protect him Sheriff.
Sheriff: It's my job, Dick.
Dick: Your job is to
catch the criminals,
and put them away.
Dick: You seem
to have fallen down
in that aspect here.
Dick: Come on, Miss. Step away.
Sheriff: So two or
three innocent people
are going to get themselves hurt
or killed so you guys can
play vigilante justice?
Dick: Don't lecture
me about justice.
Sheriff: Now Jimmy,
throw down your gun.
No one's going to hurt you.
Sondra: It's not
even loaded, Sheriff.
It's jammed from eight years ago
just like he said.
You can see it, Mr. Sproule.
Sheriff: Come on, Jimmy.
Throw it down.
You step away, Miss.
Sondra: Throw them
the gun, James.
Please throw them the gun.
Sondra: (screaming) Noooo!
(gunshots)
Sheriff: Mother of God.
