Wild Tigers I Have Known 2006

Tigers, tigers, tigers, tigers, tigers, tigers!

(people chanting tigers)

[Reporter] I'm here at Clausen middle school,

where only hours ago a mountain lion was shot dead.

Parents, neighbors, and teachers were all shaken up,

yet thankful that no one was hurt.

Animal control said that there

was nothing else they could do.

That the lion was clearly lost

and that it would never again be able

to fully adjust to it's previous wild life

now that he had spent time at the middle school.

They can be dangerous,

and so I guess after this incident

they'll probably be telling all the teachers

and the students, you know to really be,

keep an eye out because one wrong move,

especially if you run then you become the prey.

[Reporter] This is the first lion

to be killed on the campus.

Though by no means the first sighting for the school.

The school had another sighting last summer.

That time the lion was able

to get away as authorities arrived too late.

Will there be more?

No one knows for sure.

For KAM news, this is Teresa Morales.

(bell rings)

(water splashing)

Sometimes, the most beautiful things

are the most innocent things... they keep passing us by.

I won't let them pass me by.

(dramatic music)

(voice whispering) (dramatic music)

Rodeo Walker.

Everyone knows who you are.

I heard you stabbed a kid with a pencil

and that you just watched him bleed

but, but you didn't get in trouble for it

like, nobody told on you.

Why would nobody tell on you?

[Joey] Hey.

What?

You want to come over after school today?

I don't know.

I still got that movie.

It's not due back till tomorrow.

Oh, yeah?

Well, do you wanna?

(dramatic music)

Logan?

[Logan] Yeah?

[Joey] Think guys like Rodeo Walker or Bryce Matthews

have anything to worry about?

[Logan] What do you mean?

Other boys, the ones not like us.

You think they ever worry about anything?

Like getting beat up?

No, not like that.

[Logan] Like what?

[Joey] Well, they just seem so perfect.

They're not perfect.

More perfect than I am.

I don't think anybody's perfect.

They get a lot of girls.

[Logan] So?

So, girls don't even talk to us.

Girls are boring, they only talk to each other.

I heard Bryce has a big penis.

What?

[Joey] I heard some girls talking about it.

What girls?

I don't know, girls from school.

They said that?

Yeah, one of them said it was like

the size of her forearm or somethin'.

I don't think that's possible.

[Joey] How do you know?

It's just not like, genetics or something.

Even if it's not true,

girls don't talk about us like that.

What about Rodeo?

I wonder if he's a virgin?

I doubt it.

Who do you think he's had sex with?

I don't know, probably like five girls.

[Logan] Girls from school?

I guess, maybe younger ones.

I don't really see him with girls.

(dramatic music)

Joey?

Yeah?

How big, would you say your penis is?

[Joey] What?

Like, erect, you know?

I guess I haven't really ever measured it.

[Logan] Oh.

Have you?

No.

I guess I never really thought to.

We could, you know, just to know.

It seems like something we should know.

Don't you think?

(eerie music)

Well?

[Logan] Six, I got six!

Yeah, well you're older.

Six is good right?

You know how to make it go away, right?

Yeah.

Me too, if you put a nickel on it, it will go away.

Oh.

Yeah.

What happened is no laughing matter.

It's not funny.

Mountain Lions are a very dangerous breed.

Okay?

At any moment they could harm or attack anyone of us.

Without warning, without warning.

We here at Clausen are purchasing

somewhat of a lion notification system.

We hope that this new alarm system will prevent

another incident, or attack from happening,

but we're a little short of our goal,

and that's where you come in.

So, what we need is all of you

to go out there, and sell these safety bands

which we've already begun distributing

to the Peer Helper's Club.

And what we expect of you Is to support your school

we hope that you'll support the Club

and together, we can all achieve our goal.

And, well, promote safety.

(people chattering)

- [Girl] The protein bars? - [Girl] No, the fruit things.

[Girl] They only have 45 calories.

[Girl] Zero?

[Girl] Is that good?

[Girl] Yes.

[Girl] Look at this girls stomach.

(girls laughing)

[Girl] What about you, you little fatty I'm just kidding.

(people chattering)

[Girl] Is this mine?

[Girl] No, that's mine.

I bought it at Super Silver.

For like, seven dollars.

(dramatic music) (people chattering)

(dramatic music)

(phone rings)

[TV] She dreams in white stone.

(phone rings)

A broken band, broken remarks, broken time.

Hello?

[Joey] I was sick today.

Oh.

Did I miss anything?

[Logan] At school?

Yeah.

Not really, there was an assembly,

so you missed part of the second period.

Assembly?

Yeah, about the mountain lions.

What are you doing right now?

Nothing, just watching TV.

Yeah, me too.

My mom got me a bunch of Gatorade.

Cool.

[Joey] Yeah.

And there's a dance on Friday.

[Joey] Those dances are stupid.

You've never been.

They're still stupid.

Everyone talks about it like it's such a big deal,

but it's just stupid.

A waste of time.

[Logan] I might go.

I wouldn't.

Why?

Do you like somebody, or somethin'?

[Logan] How did you get sick?

What?

Like, why'd you get sick?

Oh, I don't know.

Whatever it is, made me throw up this morning.

Oh.

[Joey] Did you turn in that paper for English?

Hmm?

Yeah, what the fuck are you looking at?

I wasn't looking.

You look like a fucking asshole.

I wasn't looking.

You're a fucking fag, aren't you?

No, I'm not.

[Logan] Can we be evil together?

I want to be evil with you.

(waves crashing)

You should let me, you should let me take a picture of you

after your fight like that.

What should I be doing?

[Joey] I don't know, you don't have to be doing anything.

Wait.

[Joey] What are you doing?

It'll make a better picture, don't you think?

[Joey] You look weird.

Just take it.

(camera clicks)

We should take another picture.

My camera has a timer,

So we can set it to take one with both of us.

Check it out, I'm popular.

Did it take it?

(wind whistling) (wind chimes ringing)

Are you sure you don' remember who it was that hit you?

Bryce, maybe.

[Woman] Bryce Matthews?

Yeah, I think it was him.

[Woman] He was in another fight that night,

did you know that?

Well, why would he hit you?

Has he ever hit you before, or threatened to?

No.

No, so he just hit you?

Yeah, he said I was looking at him funny.

Well what do you think he meant by that?

Funny like, like you were making fun of him?

I don't know, just funny, I guess.

He shouldn't have hit you.

He won't do it again.

[Woman] Why won't he do it again?

'Cause I won't look at him again.

[Woman] You think that's what he wants?

Probably.

Do you feel different, Logan?

[Logan] What do you mean?

Like from the other kids, do they seem different?

[Logan] Yeah.

Does that bother you?

[Logan] Not really.

No?

Why doesn't it bother you?

I don't know, I don't mind being by myself or anything.

[Woman] Are you by yourself a lot?

I guess, sometimes.

[Woman] Do you ever feel down about being by yourself?

Sometimes.

What do you do when you feel down?

I dream.

[Woman] You daydream?

Sort of.

[Woman] What do you dream about?

Being somewhere else, not being alone.

Not being alone.

You think they really had to shoot him?

[Woman] What, the mountain lion?

When they shot him,

do you think he knew he was going to die?

Well, no one, nothing ever does, I think.

Oh, then, maybe he died peacefully.

Would you like to think that's how he died?

I guess, yeah.

You like mountain lions?

Yeah, a lot.

What do you like about lions, Logan?

I think they're not as bad as we think.

We're just kind of told to be afraid of them.

I mean, it's not like we've ever faced them,

or even ever seen them, so how can we really know?

It's like if it has a name, and a face

we can hate it, and it's just not fair

so, I don't hate them, and I don't think they hate us.

They're just lost.

They wanna be here as much as we do.

You're in trouble.

No, I'm not.

You're not in class.

I was, I was talking to the counselor.

I hate her.

[Logan] Yeah?

Yeah, everyone here, they're all stupid.

[Logan] Yeah.

[Rodeo] Why'd you have to talk to her anyway?

I got punched.

By who?

[Logan] Bryce Matthews.

He's a dick.

Yeah.

Why aren't you in class?

'Cause I was late.

You can be late and still go, right?

Why would I want to do that?

Why would you want to sit here?

Why'd he punch you?

I don't know, he hates me maybe.

Hey, you're not wearing a safety band.

What's a safety band?

You know, those gold r' bands,

those r' bands they're supposed

to protect us from the mountain lions.

[Rodeo] How?

I don't know.

I'm not afraid of the mountain lions.

You're not?

No.

I've seen 'em.

I, like, know where they live.

Yeah, right.

I do.

[Logan] Where do they live, then?

Out in the woods.

I want to see 'em.

Meet me in the woods then.

[Logan] Really?

If you're not afraid of them.

I'm not.

All right, tomorrow after school.

(dramatic music)

Hey, where are you going?

Not to class.

(dramatic music)

[Logan] Sometimes, I worry that

I won't have good stories to tell my kids.

Like, I won't have good stories about, being a kid,

cause then I'll just be boring, you know?

Then I'll just be boring, then I'll just be boring.

Then I'll just be boring, then I'll just be boring.

Then I'll just be boring, then I'll just be boring

(dramatic music)

There was a kid at my school,

this boy, Daniel,

he was always dirty and got made fun of a lot.

He killed himself one day after school.

His mom found him hung in his closet.

Nobody really talks about him anymore.

It's like, it's just something that happened.

Like it happened a long time ago or something.

I bet now he looks down at us.

Maybe he just laughs.

Maybe he was always laughing, inside.

I guess it doesn't really matter.

(wind whistling)

(bag clatters)

You've got to be kidding me.

Why is it Logan, that everything

that you touch turns to shit?

Look at me when I'm talking to you,

pay attention, look at me.

Do you know how much this cost me?

Do you have any idea how much groceries cost?

And you wonder why I'm never home?

You broke the eggs, you broke the eggs, that's great.

Why don't we just break the rest

of the eggs while we're at it, huh?

Dump out the rest of the milk.

I swear to God, you do not pay attention to anything,

you are constantly off in another world,

and I am the only one that

is around to take care of everything.

I have had it, I need some help from you.

I can't do all of this on my own all the time.

Are you listening, am I reaching you?

You know what, I give up.

I give up, I give up.

You're gonna cry, you're gonna cry now?

That's rich.

You know, you can't cry about shit when it's your own fault.

Egg all over my goddamn...

I'll meet you in the woods tomorrow after school.

(gentle music)

I could hit him for you if you want.

[Logan] Who?

[Rodeo] Bryce, I could do it, you know.

[Logan] No, it's not worth it.

[Rodeo] Yeah, maybe you're right.

Do you like school?

[Logan] Not really.

[Rodeo] I hate it, I mean, not as much as I used to,

hate it, because, really, it's almost over.

[Logan] What's almost over?

[Rodeo] Junior high, it's dumb.

It's just such a dumb time.

[Logan] Yeah, but it's not really over.

[Rodeo] High school will be better.

More kids.

[Logan] Right, more kids that'll hate me.

[Rodeo] Who hates you?

[Logan] I don't know, boys like Bryce.

Everybody, really.

Nobody talks to me.

[Rodeo] You think I hate you?

[Logan] I don't know yet.

[Rodeo] Yet, so you mean you will know?

[Logan] Yeah, maybe.

[Rodeo] Well, I don't hate you.

[Logan] Yeah, well, you're different then, I guess.

I really want to see lions, or a lion.

[Rodeo] I guess they're not around today.

[Logan] How many have you seen?

[Rodeo] Like, two.

No, wait, three.

[Logan] All together?

[Rodeo] No, different times.

[Logan] Did they see you?

[Rodeo] No.

[Logan] How do you know?

[Rodeo] You think I'd be here if they saw me?

I'd be dead for sure.

You can't survive something like that, you know?

[Logan] I thought they lived in caves or something.

[Rodeo] That's total bullshit.

[Logan] Oh.

[Rodeo] Some kid killed himself

in one of those caves, a couple years ago.

They just don't want us messing around in there.

Don't want any more dead kids, I guess.

[Logan] I guess I'm not scared of them,

because I've got to see something right in front of me

to know what I think about it.

[Rodeo] We are different.

[Logan] Yeah.

I'm afraid of tigers really.

[Rodeo] Where have you seen a tiger?

[Logan] Everyday at school, tons of 'em.

[Rodeo] You know tigers are blind, when they're born?

[Logan] No, I didn't.

[Rodeo] Yeah, I read that somewhere.

It's like they're taught to see or something.

(TV sounds)

(phone rings)

Hello?

Jesus, where were you after school?

[Logan] I was with Rodeo.

What?

He said he knows where the lions are

- and he said he might take me. - [Joey] He's such a liar.

No, he's not.

Right.

Let me know when you see the lions then.

So what are you doing?

[Joey] Making a list.

A list?

A list.

Ways to be cool.

[Logan] Ways to be cool?

[Joey] Yeah, so we can be cooler.

[Logan] So what's on the list?

[Joey] Mostly stuff about motorcycles.

[Logan] Motorcycles?

Yeah, got anything to add?

How about not making lists?

That'll make you cooler.

Whatever.

Maybe I just won't give you a copy then.

So.

So what?

This Rodeo's, like, your new best friend now?

[Logan] I don't really have a best friend.

[Joey] Oh.

But you're still mine.

That's okay, right?

[Logan] Just call me later, okay?

[Girl] Well, it's stupid.

[Rodeo] Why is it stupid?

[Girl] Because, he's lame.

Why is he lame?

[Girl] He just is.

He probably, like, wants to blow you or something.

What if he did?

[Girl] Did he?

What can I say?

Everyone likes me.

[Girl] You're so full of yourself.

And you know what?

If you, like, let him like you, then you're a fag.

He's just bored with everything.

[Girl] Except you, right?

Yeah, he likes me.

What's so bad about someone liking me?

Are you jealous?

[Girl] God, no.

[Rodeo] Sounds like you are.

[Girl] Well, he can't come over.

You can't bring him over here.

[Rodeo] Why is that?

[Girl] Well, you just can't, okay?

He's your friend, don't try to make him mine.

[Rodeo] Whatever.

[Girl] No, not whatever.

I'm serious, and if he makes you a fag,

then you can't come over either.

(dramatic music)

When you're a ghost, will you haunt me?

What?

A ghost.

I want to know if you'll haunt me when you're a ghost.

You mean, like when I'm dead?

[Logan] Yeah, when you're really dead.

You want me to?

Well, no.

Well, I guess I'd watch you.

I mean, I'll have to.

I'm your mom.

[Logan] You're my mom.

Yeah.

So if you died tomorrow, like, in the day,

could you watch me in the night?

[Mom] Yeah.

If I died, would I be able to watch you?

Would you want to?

I guess, what else would I do?

You better be watching me.

When I'm dead, like, when I'm really dead,

there's no other me out there, that's just the end of it

and of everything I knew,

the end of people knowing me all this goes away, or what?

[Mom] You think about this a lot?

Yeah.

[Mom] So, why are you smiling?

I'm not smiling.

[Mom] You are smiling.

Well?

I don't know, sometimes I do wonder

if it would be better to be dead.

I mean, maybe it would just be like, like floating.

But you know how when you really, you're all alone

and it all gets really, really quiet

and the only sound you can hear is your heart beating?

It's like the only sound in the whole world.

But, if you were dead, there'd be no heart beating.

There'd be no sound, there'd be no nothing, just.

Floating?

[Mom] Yeah, floating.

All by yourself?

All by yourself.

I think I'm gonna come back as a flower.

Yeah?

What kind of flower?

A Dahlia.

Dahlias are very pretty.

Or a snake, snakes are cool.

Yeah.

Can you hold your breath when you're dead?

(water splashing) (dramatic music)

We could drown together, will you drown with me?

[Rodeo] Sure.

[Logan] Oh, okay, good!

We'll invent our own underwater language.

And the tigers above, they'll be blind,

they can't see us when we're under.

Are we going under?

[Rodeo] Okay.

[Logan] Yes, more than okay?

[Rodeo] Sure, more than okay.

(dramatic music)

[Logan] If we both pretend that there was an end

then maybe there really will be a beginning

and it will start with us running away together.

Off, off, off, far, far, far away.

And we'll live with the lions and sleep in trees.

Just sleep, that's all we'll need.

(gentle music)

Do you think about breaking things?

We could break things.

Hearts?

Don't break my heart.

(gentle music)

(water splashing)

(wind whistling)

(music box clicking)

(gentle music)

[Rodeo] Does my hair look okay?

[Logan] You look like you could be famous or something.

[Rodeo] Yeah?

[Logan] Yeah.

Okay, you get half and I get half.

We should do something cool with them.

Like what?

Like put them all over town.

Right, we should go wait outside.

(gentle music)

Most boys just wanna get drunk or go steal something.

[Logan] They like to get in trouble.

[Rodeo] Right.

You never want to do that stuff or what?

[Logan] I don't know,

I guess I don't really think about it.

[Rodeo] That's cool.

[Logan] Thanks.

How come you don't have a girlfriend?

[Rodeo] I don't know.

I have, a bunch of times.

How come you don't?

[Logan] I don't know, girls don't really like me I guess.

And they don't really think about me.

[Rodeo] Sometimes girls make me want to go to sleep.

[Logan] Yeah?

[Rodeo] I'm gonna go home and sleep,

I got like two hours of sleep last night.

The last couple nights actually.

[Logan] Really?

[Rodeo] Yeah, but you can call me

if you're bored or whatever.

[Logan] I don't really have your number.

[Rodeo] Yeah?

[Logan] You never really gave it to me.

[Rodeo] I don't really like to give it out.

[Man] I didn't think you were coming.

[Woman] Oh, no?

[Man] I'm glad you did.

[Woman] Did you miss me?

[Man] I certainly have.

[Woman] You sure know how to talk to a woman.

[Man] You certainly know how to talk to a man.

[Woman] Oh, I do?

[Man] Your voice, there's something about your voice.

[Woman] What about it?

[Man] It's all woman, just the way it should be.

(woman moaning)

(voice whispering) (wind whistling)

(wind whistling)

(phone rings) (eerie music)

[Woman] Hello?

Hello.

[Woman] Is this Rodeo?

Yeah, who's this?

[Woman] Oh, you don't know me.

But you know me.

[Woman] What are you doing right now?

Nothing, who is this?

[Woman] I'm Leah.

[Rodeo] Leah.

Do I know you from school?

[Leah] You don't know me.

[Rodeo] Yeah, but you know me.

[Leah] I think you're cute.

What about you?

[Leah] What about me?

What do you look like?

[Leah] I don't know, my friends say I'm pretty.

[Rodeo] Do I know your friends?

[Leah] Oh, I don't know.

What are their names?

[Leah] No, I don't think you know them.

[Rodeo] Why are you calling me?

[Leah] I just wanted to say that I like you,

that I think you're cute.

Like you want to blow me or something?

[Leah] Do you want me to?

I don't even know you.

[Leah] But would you want me to,

I wanna be more than friends.

[Rodeo] Shouldn't we be friends first?

[Leah] Oh, aren't we?

You said you want me to suck you.

I want to know who this is.

[Leah] I really am pretty.

My friends wouldn't lie to me about that.

So what are you doing right now?

[Rodeo] Nothing I guess.

[Leah] Wanna get off?

[Rodeo] Right now?

[Leah] Yeah, like on the phone.

What are you wearing right now?

What are you wearing?

[Leah] I don't... wanna say.

Boxers.

[Leah] Oh.

I'm wearing this flower dress.

It's yellow and white.

I've got my hand down my pants.

[Leah] Yeah?

Yeah.

[Leah] Hold on.

Have you done this before?

Like with other girls?

[Rodeo] What?

[Leah] Like... on the phone.

[Rodeo] Are you touching yourself?

[Leah] Yeah.

[Rodeo] Wanna see who can come first?

[Leah] Like a race?

[Rodeo] Yeah.

[Leah] Okay.

(Leah moaning) (dramatic music)

(dramatic music) (lights buzzing)

I can feel you more

than any ghost would ever dare try.

[Rodeo] I've got to go.

(wind chimes ringing)

Hey.

Hey.

You want some?

(dramatic music)

(water splashing)

(door knocks)

Hey.

We should go.

(water burbling)

[Logan] Sometimes, I think about breaking you into pieces.

Like a million pieces.

You'll be buried, I'll bury you between blades of grass,

the grass under my feet and between my toes.

I'll bury you under and between my feet.

But don't worry, cause, I'll be in pieces too.

We'll put ourselves back together okay?

Like one, one, like one.

(wind chimes ringing)

(eerie music) (phone beeping)

Nine, five, six, seven, eight, nine, four.

(eerie music)

(phone rings)

Hello?

Hi, it's Leah.

[Rodeo] Hey.

[Leah] What's going on?

Nothing.

Bored, like always.

[Leah] Wanna talk?

I wanna fuck.

[Leah] Who?

Whoever this is.

[Leah] Oh.

Okay.

You can... fuck me.

Where?

[Leah] Can't we do it on the phone?

No.

[Leah] Why not?

[Rodeo] Because that's not fucking.

[Leah] Oh.

You're a girl, aren't you?

[Leah] Yeah.

Then why can't I fuck you?

I'm a girl.

You can, I just don't know if I'm ready for that.

Call me when you are.

(gentle music)

(waves crashing) (phone ringing)

- [Joey] Hey. - [Logan] Hey.

[Joey] There was another lion.

[Logan] Really? At school?

- [Joey] Yeah. - [Logan] Cool. How close did it get?

[Joey] Close. A bunch of kids saw it.

- [Logan] They shoot it? - [Joey] No, it ran away before anyone got there.

- [Logan] Cool. - [Joey] Maybe we could hangout later.

[Logan] Oh, I don't know. I have stuff to do.

[Joey] Well, have you decided about camping yet?

- [Logan] I don't know yet. - [Joey] My mom...

[Logan] I'll call you later, okay?

(dramatic music)

(phone ringing) (dramatic music)

[Rodeo] Yeah?

Why won't you let me see you?

Take off your clothes.

(eerie music) (water dripping)

You can fuck me.

You're not Leah.

Yes I am.

You really didn't know?

(eerie music) (water dripping)

(musicbox sounds)

[Woman] You need someone to share your fears with,

and your pain with, and you can always start here,

you can always tell me.

I'm here, I'm here for you baby so just open up, open up.

Yeah you know the number.

[Joey] Hello?

Hey, it's Logan.

[Joey] Hey.

What are you doing?

[Joey] Nothing.

Can you come over?

[Joey] Why?

I want to show you something.

[Woman] What makes you beautiful?

Are you what you would consider beautiful?

Are you gay?

[Logan] No.

Someone at school said that you were gay.

[Logan] Who said that?

Are you?

I'm not gay.

But...

But you like boys right?

I don't know.

If you like boys, then you're gay.

You think your mom would still

take me camping if I looked like this?

(gentle music)

[Mom] It gets better you know.

Junior high.

Everybody hates it.

(gentle music)

It's up to you.

How long you want to hate it for.

(wind chimes ringing) (dramatic music)

[Logan] No!

(gun fires)

(waves crashing)

(dramatic music)

We here at Clausen feel it's important

to respect one another.

I'm talking about tolerance.

We also feel it's important to smile, to one another.

Something as simple as a smile.

It's really amazing,

the difference that it can make in a day.

And so we expect all of you to tolerate one another,

to be kind to one another.

Your teachers and I have come up with

something to help promote this idea of kindness.

Shall we?

This is our tolerance totem.

(teachers clapping)

We hope that this with your cooperation,

will make Clausen Junior High

a better place for everyone.

How about a round of applause for our Tolerance Totem.

(dramatic music)

Logan!
