SORRY. I WAS ZONING OUT.
I'M SORRY.
WELL, LET ME HELP YOU
CLEAR YOUR HEAD.
[LAUGHING]
SO THE DANCE IS FRIDAY.
MY QUESTION IS, WHERE ARE
WE GOING TO GET OUR HALO ON?
MY BASEMENT OR YOURS?
HELLO, WILL?
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?
WHAT? YEAH. HALO.
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME.
YOU'RE ROMANCING ANNA
IN YOUR MIND AGAIN.
NO, I'M NOT.
DUDE, JUST ASK HER
TO THE DANCE.
IT'D BE WAY LESS CREEPY
THAN YOU STARING
AT HER ALL THE TIME.
WHAT IF SHE
SHOOTS ME DOWN?
OH, SHE'S GONNA
SHOOT YOU DOWN.
NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
BUT YOU'D BE LESS CREEPY.
SHUT UP.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
LATER, MAN.
[METAL SIDING CLATTERS]
[CRASH]
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYS]
OH! AGH!
[DOGS SNARLING]
[SCREAMS]
[LAUGHING]
CHANG, CHANG,
DID YOU SEE HIS FACE?
OH, CLASSIC, MAN!
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
WHY? BECAUSE I LIKE MAKING
LITTLE WUSSES LIKE YOU SCREAM.
IT CRACKS ME UP.
[LAUGHING]
YOU GOING TO STAY THERE
ALL DAY, WILL?
DO I KNOW YOU?
YOU DO NOW.
JAKE SKINNER.
SO, HOW COME YOU LET
THOSE GUYS MESS WITH YOU?
TRAVIS AND CHANG?
NO, LEWIS AND CLARK.
YEAH, TRAVIS AND CHANG.
HOW COME?
THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
I KNOW GUYS
LIKE TRAVIS AND CHANG
AND THEY WON'T LEAVE YOU ALONE
UNLESS YOU MAKE 'EM.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
FIGHT THEM?
THEY'D DESTROY ME.
SEE YA LATER, MAN.
YEAH. LATER.
[TEACHER]: NATURAL SELECTION.
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.
THE STRONGEST,
THE MOST CUNNING CREATURES
OUTLASTING THE WEAK.
WHAT WE HAVE IS SPECIES
WHO SEEK AN ADVANTAGE
SO THAT THEY MAY EAT
AND THEREFORE HAVE MORE ENERGY
TO PROPAGATE,
NOT UNLIKE THE VARIOUS SPECIES
IN THIS CLASS...
SO LAST NIGHT,
MY DAD ASKED ME
IF I NEEDED A DRESS,
AND I WAS LIKE,
"WHAT FOR?"
AND HE'S LIKE,
"THE SPRING COTILLION."
AND I'M, LIKE,
"GOD, DAD, WHAT CENTURY
ARE YOU FROM?" RIGHT?
AND THEN HE'S LIKE,
"WELL, I WAS
UNDER THE IMPRESSION
YOUR SCHOOL WAS HAVING
AN UPCOMING COTILLION."
AND I WAS LIKE,
"YEAH, IT'S JUST
A STUPID SCHOOL DANCE,
LIKE, MOST GIRLS
WILL BE WEARING JEANS ANYWAYS."
AND HE'S LIKE,
"OKAY, SO DO YOU WANT ME
TO BUY YOU A NEW PAIR OF JEANS?"
AND I WAS LIKE,
"NO, DAD. IT'S OKAY."
HE'S SO SWEET.
ANNA.
ANNA...
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
I'M SO EXCITED
ABOUT THE DANCE.
HEY, ANNA...
HI, ANNA...
ANNA, WASSUP...
ANNA?
[BOOKS CLATTER TO THE FLOOR]
GOD, WILL, YOU SCARED ME.
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
THANKS.
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT?
NO...
ARE YOU GOING ON MR. SADIGH'S
FIELD TRIP TOMORROW?
YEAH. THE WHOLE CLASS IS.
COOL.
ANNA...
ACTUALLY, THERE IS SOMETHING.
I HEARD YOU TALKING IN THERE,
ABOUT THE DANCE, AND...
I KNOW IT'S KIND OF LAME,
BUT I WAS WONDERING IF
YOU'D LIKE TO GO WITH ME
TO THE--
OH!
CHECK IT OUT!
LITTLE WILLY PEED HIMSELF!
[LAUGHING]
COME ON, WILLY.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
WE'RE STILL FRIENDS, RIGHT?
TRAVIS AND CHANG SUCK.
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY
GO TO THE BATHROOM,
YOU KNOW, TO DRY OFF.
JUST ONCE,
I WISH I COULD GET THEM BACK.
STARTING A WAR
WITH TRAVIS AND CHANG--
PROBABLY NOT THE BEST IDEA.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
I TOLD YOU.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO STOP
UNLESS SOMEBODY MAKES THEM.
YEAH, I DON'T THINK
I'M THAT SOMEBODY.
I AM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I MEAN, I'LL TAKE CARE
OF TRAVIS AND CHANG.
BUT WHY WOULD
YOU DO THAT?
IT'S SIMPLE.
I DO THIS FOR YOU,
AND THEN, WHEN I NEED SOMETHING,
YOU PAY ME BACK.
IT'S A FAVOR FOR A FAVOR.
SO, WHAT
DO YOU SAY, WILL?
HAVE WE GOT A DEAL?
YEAH. YEAH, WE HAVE A DEAL.
NO NEED.
I TRUST YOU.
...AND SOME BIRDS,
LIKE THE SPARROW
OR THE STARLING,
ARE KNOWN TO TAKE OVER THE NESTS
OF OTHER BIRDS.
LET'S CONSIDER THE CUCKOO.
THEY'RE THE FAMILY CUCULIDAE,
AND THEY'RE A MEDIUM-SIZED,
SLENDER BIRD.
NOW, MANY OF THE SPECIES,
NOT ALL BUT MANY,
LIKE THE YELLOW-BELLIED CUCKOO,
WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN
THESE WOODS AT CERTAIN TIMES...
NEW PANTS?
NAH, JUST DRY ONES.
YOU THINK I SHOULD TELL
TRAVIS THAT'S POISON IVY?
[WILL AND ANNA CHUCKLE]
WHAT'S SO FUNNY, WILLY?
NOTHING. IT'S JUST,
THAT'S POISON IVY.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN TELL
BY THE THREE LEAVES--
DO YOU REALLY THINK
IT'S A GOOD IDEA
TO MESS WITH ME?
OUT HERE IN THE FOREST,
WHERE, YOU KNOW,
NOBODY'S WATCHING?
CUT IT OUT, TRAVIS.
YOU KNOW THAT
A LITTLE RUNT LIKE YOU
COULD GET HIMSELF HURT.
[ANNA]: TRAVIS,
CUT IT OUT!
[WILL SCREAMS]
IS THAT SOMEBODY SLEEPING?
PROBABLY SOME BUM.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS?
I THINK IT'S A DEAD BODY.
OH, MY GOD...
DUDE, THAT IS NASTY!
WHAT?
WHAT? HE'S DEAD, DUDE.
HE'S PROBABLY GOT MAGGOTS
CRAWLING THROUGH HIM.
WILL]: NOBODY TOUCH HIM.
NOBODY?
I DARE YOU TO TOUCH HIM, WILL.
NO. NO, I'M NOT GONNA--
I THINK YOU ARE.
I'M GOING TO GO GET MR. SADIGH.
OKAY.
WE'RE WAITING, WILL.
WILL, WE'RE WAITING!
WICKED.
WAIT UP! WAIT UP!
[WILL]: YES!
EXCELLENT!
THAT WAS PERFECT.
YOU'RE HAPPY, HUH?
TOTALLY.
LIKE THE LEG?
GENIUS!
DID YOU SEE THEIR FACES?
THAT WAS BEYOND
BRILLIANT.
I'M FINALLY EVEN
WITH THOSE JERKS.
EVEN? REALLY?
I DON'T THINK SO.
I MEAN, THEY HUMILIATED YOU
IN FRONT OF ANNA.
YOU CAN'T LET THEM
GET AWAY WITH THAT.
YOU'VE GOT TO
KICK IT UP A NOTCH.
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU WANT TO HELP ME?
'CAUSE I DON'T LIKE BULLIES.
AND LIKE I SAID,
ONE DAY, YOU'LL DO ME A FAVOR
AND THEN WE'LL BE EVEN.
SO...
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
KICK IT UP A NOTCH.
CHANG?
[TWIGS SNAPPING]
CHANG, I SWEAR,
IF YOU'RE MESSING WITH ME...
[SNAP]
CHANG? COME ON, MAN.
[EERIE VOICE]:
I'M WAITING, TRAVIS...
[TRAVIS]: WHO'S THERE?
[ROCKS AND EARTH TUMBLING]
UNLESS YOU WANT
YOUR TEETH KICKED IN,
YOU'D BETTER BACK OFF!
I'M WAITING...
[SCURRYING THROUGH BRUSH]
ANNA, IT'S OKAY.
IT'S JUST ME.
YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO STOP
SNEAKING UP ON ME LIKE THAT.
SORRY.
COME ON. WE HAVE TO GO
FIND MR. SADIGH
AND TELL HIM
ABOUT THE BODY.
WAIT, ANNA.
IT'S NOT A REAL BODY.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I SAW IT--
IT WAS A JOKE.
ON TRAVIS AND CHANGE. I SWEAR.
IT WAS JUST A PRANK.
JAKE AND I--
JAKE?
THE NEW KID.
HE WANTED TO HELP ME
GET BACK AT TRAVIS,
SO HE PRETENDED TO BE
A DEAD BODY,
YOU KNOW, TO SCARE HIM.
YOU PLAYED A JOKE
ON TRAVIS AND CHANG?
HAD TO BE DONE.
WELL, AREN'T YOU TOUGH
ALL OF THE SUDDEN.
ANNA...
THE SPRING FLING...
I KNOW IT'S NO BIG DEAL,
BUT...
WOULD YOU GO WITH ME?
I MEAN,
IF YOU DON'T WANT
TO "GO" WITH SOMEBODY,
I UNDERSTAND.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE
IT'S A COTILLION OR SOMETHING.
NO.
I MEAN, YEAH.
I'D LOVE TO GO.
BUT I'M WORKING THE DOOR,
SO CAN YOU MEET ME THERE?
ABSOLUTELY.
SEE YOU AT 8:00?
YEAH, IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE,
TOUGH GUY.
[SCREAMING]
TRAVIS?
WHAT HAPPENED?
COME ON.
EVERYONE TO THE BUS.
WOW. THAT WAS
SOME PRANK.
I DON'T GET IT.
IT WASN'T THAT SCARY.
WHAT'S UP?
IT'S TRAVIS.
HE'S NOT COMING BACK TO SCHOOL.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
FOR HOW LONG?
LIKE, INDEFINITELY.
HIS MOM CALLED
HIM IN SICK,
BUT EVERYONE'S SAYING
IT'S BECAUSE OF THE FIELD TRIP.
WILL, WHAT REALLY
HAPPENED OUT THERE?
YOU SAW IT.
ALL JAKE AND I DID WAS--
WHO'S JAKE?
JAKE SKINNER.
[ANNA]: THERE'S NO NEW KID NAMED
JAKE.
OF COURSE THERE IS.
YOU JUST HAVEN'T MET HIM YET.
[ANNA]: LOOK, I'VE GOT TO GO.
AIN'T NO WAY YOU COULD
HAVE MET JAKE SKINNER.
YEAH? WHY'S THAT?
BECAUSE JAKE SKINNER
DIED IN 1961.
YEAH, RIGHT.
NO, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
THAT WOULD MEAN THAT HE'S--
A GHOST?
SO...
WHO WE GONNA GET NEXT?
STAY AWAY!
THAT'S NO WAY
TO TREAT A NEW FRIEND.
YOU'RE DEAD!
YEAH, BUT THAT DOESN'T
MEAN WE CAN'T BE FRIENDS.
YOU SEE,
WE HAVE A DEAL--
I HELP YOU GET BACK
AT THE BULLIES
AND THEN YOU...
YOU HELP ME.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO TRAVIS?
WHAT YOU TOLD ME--
I KICKED IT UP A NOTCH.
TRUST ME,
HE'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE
FROM NOW ON.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP ANYMORE.
I'M DONE. I'M OUT.
OH, IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT,
'CAUSE I WAS JUST
GETTING STARTED.
STAY AWAY FROM ME!
BUT I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN.
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]
WHO'S THERE?
[BALL BOUNCES]
[EERIE VOICE]: CHANG...
YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!
CHANG...
WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT JAKE SKINNER?
YOU'VE BEEN MESSING WITH THINGS
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, BOY?
HOW DO YOU KNOW JAKE?
WHO WAS HE?
JAKE WAS A BIT OF A LONER.
PEOPLE THOUGHT
HE WAS A REAL STRANGE KID.
THEN A COUPLE JOCKS
STARTED PICKING ON HIM.
FINALLY,
JAKE HAD HAD ENOUGH
AND HE DECIDED HE WAS GOING
TO GET BACK AT THOSE BOYS
BY PLAYING A LITTLE PRANK.
JOCKS WEREN'T TOO HAPPY
ABOUT THAT.
SO, ON THE NIGHT
OF THE SPRING FLING,
THEY DECIDED...
THEY WERE GOING
TO TEACH JAKE A LESSON.
THAT WAS THE NIGHT THE OLD GYM
BURNED TO THE GROUND...
IN 1961.
EVERYONE ESCAPED THE FIRE.
EVERYONE BUT JAKE SKINNER.
[CACKLING]
ARE YOU AFRAID?
[METAL SCRAPING]
GOTCHA.
[SCREAMING]
WHAT DOES HE WANT?
WELL NOW,
WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME, HUH?
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT WENT
AND MADE FRIENDS WITH A GHOST.
[EERIE HOWLING]
[WILL]: JAKE?
JAKE, WHERE ARE YOU?
JAKE, I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE!
COME OUT!
[JAKE]: NEVER.
I HELPED YOU.
I GOT THEM TO LEAVE YOU ALONE,
YOU OWE ME.

I SAID I'M SORRY, OKAY?
I GET IT,
YOU'RE A TOUGH GUY.
EASY...
LET ME OUT OF HERE! PLEASE!
[BOY]: WHAT?
YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST
MESS WITH ME,
AND I WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT?
[JAKE]: LET ME OUT OF HERE!
JAKE, I DON'T THINK
YOU UNDERSTAND,
YOU MESS WITH ME,
I MESS WITH YOU.
YOU ARE STUCK HERE,
UNLESS SOMEONE
LETS YOU OUT,
BUT WHO'D DO THAT?
WHO'D HELP OUT
A LOSER LIKE YOU?
[JAKE SCREAMS]
AND NOW...
FOR THE GRAND FINALE!
[EXPLOSIONS]

PLEASE DON'T LOCK ME IN HERE!

HE'S NOTHING!
HE'S A GHOST!

JAKE WAS A BIT OF A LONER.
PEOPLE THOUGHT
HE WAS A REAL STRANGE KID.
THEN A COUPLE JOCKS
STARTED PICKING ON HIM.
FINALLY,
JAKE HAD HAD ENOUGH
AND HE DECIDED HE WAS GOING
TO GET BACK AT THOSE BOYS
BY PLAYING A LITTLE PRANK.
JOCKS WEREN'T TOO HAPPY
ABOUT THAT.
SO, ON THE NIGHT
OF THE SPRING FLING,
THEY DECIDED...
THEY WERE GOING
TO TEACH JAKE A LESSON.
THAT WAS THE NIGHT THE OLD GYM
BURNED TO THE GROUND...
IN 1961.
EVERYONE ESCAPED THE FIRE.
EVERYONE BUT JAKE SKINNER.
[CACKLING]
ARE YOU AFRAID?
[METAL SCRAPING]
