♪ ♪

Hey, baby brother.
You still betting?

Winning.

See how long that lasts.

You could do what they do.

I know I could,
but would I?

I wouldn't want to make you
feel like... thing.

You're smarter than
you let on.

♪ Get on up ♪

- Who's your man?
- No man. Just me.

How's that work?



You gotta work a little harder.
Gotta be a little more careful.

♪ You got it, baby ♪

♪ You got that pushy pull ♪

♪ I said push it ♪

I run a legitimate
business here.

I'm the center of things now.
I'm building something.

There's been
a change in the law

about community standards.

What about community standards?

Apparently, New York has none.

Kaboom!

Scary world out here, baby.

Go home. If you stay,
you'll die.

There's gonna be
an opportunity coming your way.



All I can say is,
it's gonna be good.

- What am I looking at?
- The future.

When do we start?

- Bradley?
- Hi. Come in.

Thanks.

All right.

So, feel free to order whatever
you want for dinner tonight.

I will cover that.
Um, shouldn't be too late.

I will text you with updates
along the way, okay?

- Where is your son?
- Oh, he's in the bathroom. He'll be right out.

Hey, Ralph,
come out here and meet, uh...

Meg.

Come meet Meg.

He's a little shy.
He's a great kid.

Active imagination.
Probably could take care of himself.

So, he could pretty much watch
and eat whatever he wants.

Preferably I have him
in bed around 9:00.

I probably won't be
much later than 10:00.

Thank you so much for coming
on such short notice.

I really...
you're really helping me out.

Wait, did you want
to see my references?

Oh, no, it's okay.
You seem like a nice girl.

Hey, Ralph,
be a good boy tonight.

Just give him
a few minutes.

Ralph?

Hello?

My name is Meg and I'm
really excited to meet you.

Do you wanna come out?

Hey!

Ralph:
Sorry.

Why did you slam
the door on me?

I had to.

Why?

You wouldn't understand.

Do you wanna try me?
I'm really easy to talk to.

Would you like to come out
so I can introduce myself?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Great.

Could you move away
from the door, please?

Yeah, sure.

Hi, I'm Ralph.

Meg.
Nice to meet you.

Nice to
meet you, too.

I can explain.

Okay.

It's just that Ralphie
has a bit of a temper.

- Ralphie?
- Yes, Ralphie.

Is that one
of your nicknames?

I'm Ralph. I'm not Ralphie.

I'm very different
than Ralphie is.

I see.
So, who's Ralphie?

You... you don't wanna
know Ralphie.

Why not?

'Cause he's
kind of bad.

But don't worry,
that's why I locked him in the bathroom.

He won't bother us.

Well, good.

Why don't you and I just forget
about Ralphie and have some fun?

- You hungry?
- Yes.

Man on TV: Well, you can't blame Grace.
You know what I mean?

I actually kind of
like this show.

I hope there's
another one.

My dad used to
make me watch it

and I hated it then,
but now I kind of think it's funny.

- You watched TV with your dad?
- Sure.

Cool.

Well, it's almost
9:00 PM, so...

Come on, can we watch
one more, please?

I told your dad I'd get
you to bed by 9:00 PM

and he's
coming back soon, so...

He won't be back soon.

- Of course he will.
- No, he won't.

He's out on a date.

Okay, so?

So, when he goes out on dates,
he stays out really late.

Well, he told me he was
coming back by 10:00 PM.

He says a lot of things.
Not all of them are true.

Well, either way, I think that you
should have a bath before bedtime.

I don't wanna
take a bath.

Why not?

Because Ralphie's
in there.

Ah.

Ralphie, right.

You forgot,
didn't you?

I did.

I never forget
about Ralphie.

Would you like me to go
have a talk with Ralphie

and ask him if it's okay
if you could have a bath?

I don't think
that's a good idea.

Why not?

Because he doesn't
like girls.

- He doesn't?
- No.

Hmm.

- How do you know?
- I just know.

- What?
- I have an idea.

Okay.

- Oh, Ralphie! I know...
- Shh!

Hey!
That's not okay.

- Shh. Quiet.
- What?

- You're gonna wake up Ralphie.
- I was just making a joke.

Well, it's not funny.

Ralph, come on. We both know that
there is no one in the bathroom.

Damn it.

- What?
- He heard you.

And now he wants
to talk to me.

- Tell him no.
- I can't.

Why not?

You wouldn't
understand.

I'll be back.

Ah!

I'm gonna get you!

Ah! What are you doing?!
No, stop it!

I'm gonna get you!

What the fuck?

The fuck?

Ralph: Hello?

Meg?

Are you okay?

Did he come after you?

Did he get you?

Ralph,

I understand that this might
be a fun game for you,

but this
is not fun for me.

This isn't a game.

Well, whatever it is,
it needs to stop now, okay?

'Cause you're scaring me.

I wish
I could stop it.

I'm sorry.

Do you have
any children, Meg?

Let's just close our eyes and
get back to sleep, okay, Ralph?

- But I can't sleep.
- Yes, you can.

It's way past your bedtime and your
dad's gonna be home any minute.

No, he won't.

Why do you
keep saying that?

So, you don't
have kids?

No, I don't.

I think you'd be
a great mom.

Thanks, Ralph.

Now, let's just
get back to bed.

But I wanna talk.

It's just so late.

Please?
I never get to talk to any girls,

and you're so nice.

Fine.

Five minutes.

Yes!

What do you wanna
talk about?

Sex.

Where did you hear
that word?

My dad.

I think it's something that you
should talk to your dad about.

I already did.

And what did he say?

That it's
for grown-ups.

That's definitely true.

And that he'll tell me
when I get older.

I think
that sounds right.

Maybe we just
leave it at that.

But I always hear him talking
about it with his friends,

about how he has sex with all
the girls he goes on dates with.

And I don't know what it is
and he won't tell me.

Please tell me.

I just don't think
that it's my place

to talk to you about
that sort of thing.

- Why not?
- Well, I'm not your parent.

But my dad
won't tell me

and I don't have
a mom.

What happened
to your mom, sweetie?

She's... gone.

Where did she go?

It's hard to explain.

Well, you don't have to talk
about it if you don't want to.

No, it's okay.

I wanna talk about it.

It's just, well...
there's the story me and my dad always tell,

and then there's
what really happened.

What do you mean?

My dad.

He made up a story
and that's the one we tell.

But it's not
the truth.

You know what,
I think our five minutes of talking are up,

so maybe you should try
to get back to bed now, okay?

Can I just tell you the story
that my dad made up first?

And then
I'll go to sleep.

- Ralph.
- Please?

And then you promise me
you'll get back to bed?

I promise.

Pinkie swear?

Pinkie swear.

All right.

So, one day, I was waiting for
my mom to pick me up for school.

And she didn't come.

And when my dad
finally came,

he bought me
a Happy Meal,

which he never does
before.

And he told me that Mom was
going through a hard time

and that...

she was so sad,
she wanted to escape everything.

So she put a rope
in her closet

and she put her...
she put her neck in it.

And when she jumped,
she kind of...

she hung there until she
couldn't breathe anymore.

And she escaped
everything.

Ralph, sweetie,
I'm... I'm so sorry.

You don't have
to be sorry.

It's just a story.

You mean that
that was...?

It wasn't real.

Okay, then.

Well, thanks
for the story.

Now, let's just
get to bed.

- But...
- No, remember, you promised.

One story and you were
gonna go to bed.

Okay, fine.

Good night, Ralph.

Sleep well.

The true story is that
Ralphie killed my mom.

Ralph, I told you that we were not
going to play this game anymore.

Shh! If Ralphie hears me telling you this,
he's gonna get very angry.

Ralph,
I understand that you're having a hard time

and that this game
might be whatever for you,

but you're starting
to scare me!

He scares me every day.

He killed my mom
and he says I'm gonna be next.

He chases me around my room at night saying,
"I'm gonna get you."

- Ralph, stop it!
- Shh!

- Stop this!
- He'll hear you!

Don't touch me.

Oh, you woke him up!

Why did you do that?!

Oh, no, no, no.

Bradley's voice: Hi, you've reached Bradley.
Leave a message.

Hey, Brad, this is Meg.

I need you to come here
as soon as you possibly can

or just call me back.

Please just call me back.

Ralph:
No!

Ralphie:
Yes!

Ralph:
Ah, stop it!

Please,
you're hurting me!

Dispatch: 911, what's
your emergency?

Hi, hi, yes, um, I'm here...
I'm babysitting a little boy

and I think he's crazy or I'm not
sure if he's a danger to himself.

- His father is not calling me back.
- Ralphie: Die, die, die!

Yes, I'm at the motel
off the parkway.

- Dispatch: Mm-hmm, okay.
- Yes, room 104.

Please come here as soon as you possibly can.
Please hurry.

- All right, we'll send someone.
- Thank you.

I'm so sorry, Meg.

He's just
too strong for me.

I'm gonna get you.

Let me go!

- Ralph: No!
- I need to get her!

Ralph:
No, I won't let you!

No!

- No, get off of him!
- Stop it!

Get off!

Ralph?

Ralph?
Oh, my God, Ralph!

Ralph!

What did you do
to him?!

Oh, my God, Ralph.
Ralph? Wake up, Ralph!

Breathe. Breathe!

What did you do?!

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

Wake up. Come on.

Breathe, please. Breathe.
Breathe, you gotta breathe.

No, it was Ralphie.

Ralphie... Ralphie tried
to kill me, okay?!

Ralphie was trying
to strangle me!

- No.
- Please. Breathe. You gotta breathe.

Oh, my God.

Please wake up.
Wake up. Breathe.

Breathe. Please.

Please.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Here lies a door.

Beyond it lies
something wonderful.
