Help.

I have no idea what to wear.

I know, I know. I should have unpacked
weeks ago.

So what is your friend Samantha wearing,
honey?

Trust me, Mom, even you've got more
fashion sense than she does.

Oh, well, thank you, darling.

And she's not my friend.

I have no friends.

Well, I'm just going to tell her I don't
want to go.

I'm such a loser.

I'm just going to tell her I'm not
going. Honey, you couldn't even fake

loser. It's just a matter of time before
you get discovered. In fact, tonight is

a great opportunity to be discovered.

Mom, I'll have a video camera in front
of my face.

Hi. Hey.

Oh, God, am I too dressed up? Oh, no,
don't stress on it. We're going for one

reason and one reason only. To document
the 90s rural American teenager and all

its hideous myths.

I can't stand it.

It's too perfect.

Adorable. God, you nearly scared me half
to death.

I can't believe that.

I have to do a painting.

It's awesome, isn't it?

Personally, I find it mind -numbing.

Oh, come on. The city is what's mind
-numbing.

This is so... Oh, man.

Here comes the queen of fools.

at the White House.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

Your prom king and queen for Lancaster
High are Michelle Lambert and Butch

Youngkin.

Me and Butch, we are so lucky to have
your love and support.

We thank every one of you.

We love every one of you.

And we will try to be worthy of this
amazing honor.

If you last made me all right,

contagious melody without rhyme,

hypocrisy looks really good on you.

My girlfriend said I could dance with
someone I don't know.

It's your lucky night.

Like I said, it's your lucky night.
Okay.

I've been seeing you around.

What's up with that?

My parents got divorced, so me and my
mom moved down here to be near her

Cool.

Cool?

Yeah.

For me.

She's totally his type.

She's probably even a virgin. Is that
where Kenny? Forget it. I'll be

my ribs.

That's the difference.

She trusts Bud.

No one realizes Bud's a full -time job.

He gets bored easily.

I have to keep feeding him pieces of
candy.

So they're all going over to the pool.

We should go.

Get some bikini shots.

Cool.

and she definitely did not have
Mediterranean Sea blue eyes. My cousin

the contacts.

Nope, she just turned into Barbie, which
is idle.

Hey, Lauren.

Where's your bathing suit?

No.

I dare you to jump in.

In your underwear.

Don't you have to play with your engine
or something?

Who would you rather play with?

Me or her?

Do you want to go back to my house,
check out the footage?

Um, I guess.

I have an extra bathing suit in the van.

Do you want to borrow it?

Would you mind?

No.

Whatever, I'm cool.

Okay, I'll call you.

Okay, cool. Yeah.

You know, if you swim every single day,
it really helps take off the extra

pounds.

I mean, not that you have to worry about
it.

You have such a cute shape.

Now when you hit the water, don't make
any splash.

Okay?

Slice it clean.

Like a knife.

Ready?

Set.

Mom, I had the best time.

Hi, honey.

Okay, remember after the first day I
told you about this girl who had these

incredible blue -green eyes?

I think so.

Well, she was voted prom queen, and she
totally wants to be my friend.

She lent me her bathing suit, and she
invited me over.

Oh, and her boyfriend, Butch, he's this
really sweet guy, and he thinks she's a

goddess. And he's really nice to her
friends.

I think you're a goddess.

How was your night?

It's fine.

You're such a bad liar.

You're totally thinking about your prom
and dad and falling in love, right?

You know what?

Oh, no, I'm not going to tell you this.

Oh, it's too late now.

Okay. Your dad and I, we left the prom
early and fell in love in the back of a

65 Mustang. You know all that.

But what you don't know is I was in his
prom date.

Oh, my God.

No, he went with somebody else. That's
the part I always leave out.

You should have known what kind of
person he was.

Yeah, I think you always know. You just
don't always pay attention.

But what makes me happy is to see you
happy. See your pretty little face all

up.

You should have been the prom queen.

Thank you.

No, no, no, no. It's cold. My mom's too
sick.

Oh, okay.

I'll be right out.

There's turkey tetrazzini in the
microwave.

Let's get out of here.

You mix the green in with the yellow,
you can make a really nice tree.

Just start at the top, at the point, and
then make little short brush strokes

all the way down.

See, where I used to live, it was all
concrete and harsh.

Nothing pretty like this.

Thanks for letting me do my laundry,
Mrs. Chow.

Hazel. My pleasure.

But you would have fixed the washing
machine, but my father is so twisted.

And Butch's... Her boyfriend.

They're really serious.

They've been together forever.

Ah, forever.

Since the beginning of freshman year,
Mom.

We were like together in a past life.

We are so destined.

Past life? This is serious.

Yeah.

My father hates him, though.

Really? I mean, he says it's my grades,
but in my humble opinion, I think he

just wants me home being cook,
babysitter, and general slave.

The kids worship Butch, right, guys?

When we get married, we're going to
adopt the kids if my mom doesn't feel

better.

Um, you know, why don't you two go off
to a movie or something?

We could stay here and maybe make
macaroni necklaces. Yeah.

Really? Are you sure? But you just got
home from work. Yeah. Go on.

Wait, so you're so cool.

Hey, you guys want to use this?

This color looks so great on you.

So your dad just comes in one day and
says, I'm leaving you deal with it?

Yep. And his girlfriend thinks she can
be like a second mom to me.

Courtney.

I think you need more eyeshadow.

I would have killed Courtney.

Hold still.

Seriously, I would have tortured her and
then killed her.

My mom's too nice.

Yeah, I guess I am too.

Except about my Adonis.

Blood red.

Is it the...

Even Butch says so.

Check it out.

You're awesome.

Okay, now kiss me.

What?

Kiss me.

You'll see the color stays on.

What?

I'm a lesbian.

I'm just kidding.

I'm not interested in you sexually.

Kiss my hand.

Okay. Turn around.

Show Hazel.

Absolutely ravishing.

A goddess.

I did a good job on her, didn't I?
Totally incredible.

You guys look great.

What about her and Pete?

Is this Pete again?

Hey, but Jen says what about Laurie and
Pete?

She can do better.

Oh, um, I should go say hi to Sam.

Hey, I thought you were going to call
me.

I started editing without you.

You look totally weird.

Yeah, Michelle was fooling around.

Anyway, I do want to see the video.

Well, you know my number.

Put your hair behind your ear.

You should put some spray in it.

Say it, what do you think?

I liked her better before.

That's right. He is a Neanderthal.

Good

night.

And thanks.

Aren't you going to say good night to
her?

You want to sleep with her.

Shell! You're totally transparent.

You're nuts.

Have I come on to you? No way.

Michelle, he... Let's go, Butch.

Let's go!

Go!

Ow! You thought I got killed?

Hi.

How was tonight?

Fine.

It was fine.

Hey,

foxy

lady!

Put your arm around me.

Pull me closer down.

Now kiss me.

Look at him over there. His little
pencil sticking out.

At least he knows how to use it.

I could drown that little moe with one
hand.

Huh? What?

Excuse me, what are you... What am I
doing in the ladies' room?

I like the lady.

It's okay.

Relax. Here.

Let me do that.

You just... I don't know.

You seem like someone I can talk to.

You know?

Butch, you guys are really intense.

Me? I mean... See her jerking my chain
all over the place?

She was really nice.

Making me up and doing my hair.

And then you tell her I look better than
her?

It's true, though.

She wears too much makeup.

Even if that was true, which it isn't, I
can't hold a candle to her.

And girls are sensitive, you know? Yeah,
well, I tell her.

Guys are guys.

They think things, but they don't have
to. So what are you thinking right now?

Michelle?

Butch, can you please leave us alone? I
was thinking, why don't you tell Craig

to come into the ladies' room where he
belongs?

Craig was just saying that you walk like
an ape.

I never noticed that. Go stick your
tongue down his throat, then.

Well, do you want him?

The ape man? No.

Michelle, that's not what I... No, don't
say no yet.

I mean, it could be a really good thing.

For everyone.

Right, Butch?

Change is always good.

Do you see one?

There you go.

You know what you can do?

Make one worm into two.

Hey, Michelle, that's gross.

Okay, come on.

Time for lunch.

I made your favorite, pasta with cream
sauce.

You're hungry, right?

Did you kiss him yet?

No.

Look, it was just a misunderstanding,
Michelle. He... I couldn't care less.

He's a good kisser, but he's not a great
lover.

See what you can do with him. I'm, like,
so bored.

I don't want Butch.

Anyway, uh, don't jump on me, but... I
think you still love him.

And I'm positive he still loves you.

Are you deaf or are you stupid?

I don't want Butch.

I'm hanging with Craig now.

This is crazy.

You call it crazy, I call it real life.

There's no hard feelings.

Seriously.

There's nothing going on.

No, no, honey, it sounds to me like her
pride is hurt.

Honestly, she seems slightly immature.

I don't like that one.

I mean, doesn't it sound immature to you
to suddenly say she's bored a day after

saying they're deaf?

She's insecure, Mom, like everyone else.

Hey, that looks great, by the way.

No.

Nope, don't like that one.

Oh, you see, my point is, if I were
you... Which you are not.

Well... You might want to try to help
them reconcile. They seem happier

and less inclined to play their silly
games.

Yeah, well, I don't even know if we're
still talking.

Cool. No one's too sexy for a blind
date.

So the wrong attitude, Mom.

I so wish I could just stay home and
make chocolate chip cookies with you.

He's gonna love you.

Here, blood red.

The best.

I don't think so.

Please be Michelle.

Hello?

Are you okay?

I understand.

No, listen to me. You're not going to
kill yourself.

Okay.

Where are you?

Look, maybe you should come over here.

Okay.

Okay, I'll see you soon. Bye.

You look really awful.

I want to just...

Make her bleed, man.

I'm nothing without Chell.

Nothing, man.

I don't even exist without her.

You have no idea how deep we go.

I think I do.

I believe she's just really insecure, so
she gets mad.

I know this is temporary between you
two.

Hey, you know, I read you should always
eat chocolate when you're feeling

lonely.

I'm not kidding. Something about the
weight affects the day.

She won't eat sugar.

She's a fanatic.

Hope I didn't overcook them.

I'm going to say one last thing, then I
won't say another word about her. You

don't have to censor yourself.

Freak Haber?

You mean that moron?

I bet he takes steroids.

And if that's who she wants, then... She
doesn't want Craig.

She wants you.

You two are destined, she told me.

Here.

Eat it hot.

I'll mush you inside. That's the best.

You're really special, you know that?

Lover boy has a bed in the van.

Maybe he goes camping a lot.

Maybe I'm just being the overprotective
uncle of your sister, but I don't know.

They're swimming.

It's 110 today. Am I missing something
here?

I gotta tell you something, Ace. You're
not gonna like it.

Oh, gee, what else is me?

I was his age, and I know why he has a
bed in his van. It's not about the great

outdoors.

Come on, Jake. They're kids. Just give
them a break.

Girl, guy, bed, van, please.

You're gonna burn.

You were spying on us?

Not spying. My back was burning, okay?
End of story.

Honey, I think he's trying to make her
jealous.

No, he isn't.

He thinks I need you to talk to.

You don't even know him that well. Well,
he told me last night.

Last night?

Last night when?

He dropped over while you were on your
date.

Hey, how was that, by the way? Why
didn't you tell me?

I didn't have a chance.

Mom, he was threatening suicide over
her. I couldn't just brush him off.

Well, he certainly didn't look suicidal
today.

Some people would consider that a good
thing.

Honey, I don't know. I just get this
feeling that I don't think that you

be alone with him.

Just because you don't trust men, I
can't have the social life?

He's not Dad, and I'm not Courtney.

Well, I sure as hell hope that kid is
not your only option for a social life,

Lauren.

Ten seconds.

Psycho boss is on my case. Big time.

Look, I'm sorry I've been kind of flaky.

I didn't mean to be. I just... I got
carried away.

You want to hang out later?

You can sleep over.

Sure.

Sorry about the crowd. They're my
brother's friends.

Here. Made you a copy. Thanks.

I think we got some good shots.

Is everyone there?

Yeah. Well, everyone except the
lovebirds.

Hey,

why don't you go Russell and get some
snacks there? Keep dreaming, Danny.

Parrot! Hey.

This is Laurie. Laurie, this is my dad.

Hey, good to meet you, Laurie. Hey, nice
to meet you.

Here, it's the Godfather trilogy. We
could go upstairs and watch it with him.

Yeah, hurry on up.

My mom would be hovering down the stairs
all night.

Booze and retards in there.

I thought he wasn't coming.

What's up with you?

Nothing.

The Humpty Dumpty nightlight in my
bathroom has more water than that idiot.

I don't know. He just seems more like a
lost puppy.

Are you kidding? He's a mutant.

Not to me, okay, Sam?

Hey, Sam.

Disappear. In case you didn't notice,
this is my kitchen.

So where's Michelle?

I need to talk to you.

Come on, Laura. It's showtime.

Yeah, I'll be right out.

What's up?

Nothing. So, like, come inside?

I'm watching Godfather.

Don't. How come?

Because.

Because why?

Because don't give me such a hard time.

I'm not giving you anything.

Butchie.

Butchie, honey, pick up the phone.

I really need to talk to you.

Butchie, please pick up the phone.

Where are you?

You're a virgin, aren't you?

That's what I love about you.

You're so pure.

Thanks for telling me Jennifer.

Bye.

Come on, I need you to drive me
somewhere.

Okay, but... Can I ask you something?

What? This is important.

Can I go to the pool with you sometime?

If I drive?

Just get the keys, okay?

Come on, let's go.

Okay.

This week, I promise.

Okay?

So just get the keys, alright?

Hurry up.

I dreamt about you every night this
week.

Butch.

Take off your shirt.

Butch, are you really over Michelle?

Don't mention her name.

This is going to be really special.

Don't worry.

Can you just... Please slow down.

But... Can we just talk?

Talk about what?

I don't know.

Now I feel stupid.

Butch?

You just need some encouragement.

I don't think so.

It's going to be a pain in the ass, you
know that?

needed some friendly persuasion.

You're on the fence.

He did the same thing to me the first
time.

100 % sure.

How do I know it's not Craig?

He could have been sleeping with him
this whole time. How do I know?

Because I said so.

You didn't ask me that. I never slept
with Craig.

I hate you so much!

Hey, hey, hey. It wasn't anything.

You know that.

You know how I am.

I always come back to you.

I can't live without you.

You're so helpless.

That's why you always got to be
yourself, right?

I know.

I just didn't know what you liked,
though.

No way.

She's a virgin, man.

Yeah? Yeah.

You didn't like that? Hey, I'm sorry,
Michelle.

Come on, Chell.

You want me to show you some of Craig's
moves?

He's got moves too, you know. You're
such a bitch.

You know that?

Oh, come on. I'm teasing.

You know you're doing what I want.

We have to get serious now.

No more games.

We're going to be a family.

We'll get a place and it'll be all nice.

And the baby will be so cute.

And my sisters will come live with us.

Laurie, what happened at Samantha's
party?

Pick up, you coward.

Did you ask her, Hazel?

I'm tearing his baby.

Do you even care?

I would never do what you did.

But if I did, I wouldn't run away crying
like I was the injured party.

I tried to tell him.

I don't know.

I think... I think he raped me.

I know what you think.

It's all my fault.

Please just don't say anything, okay?

Oh, my God.

Um, no, Laurie. This is not your fault.

You always make excuses for me.

You try to warn me.

I never imagined that he would rape you.

I'm so messed up.

No, honey, you can't blame yourself.

Do you want to talk to me about this?

Okay, then.

There are people that you can talk to
that can help you. No.

I just want to forget about it.

Laurie, we do have to report this.

Tell the cops?

Honey, he did something terrible to you.
He can't get away with it. Did you hear

me? You report this and I am totally
dead.

Everyone hates me enough as it is.

Can you just leave me alone, okay? I
want to go to sleep.

Witch's van is outside.

Oh, my God. I'm calling the cops.

No. Lori, you're not going out there.
Mom, I can handle this.

Lori.

If he lifts a finger, I am going to rip
his face off. Please, Mom.

Stay where you are.

Where's Michelle?

I took her home.

Did you hear me?

Listen.

She could still change her mind about
the baby.

You never know with Michelle.

Is that what she came to say?

That it'll be over.

And then we can hang.

Just might take a little time.

Are you joking?

Huh?

You must be joking.

Tell me you're joking.

You really are a mutant.

What? It's serious.

A pregnancy.

I can't just walk away.

Get out of here.

Go.

Now!

You compliment something that they have
on, and then they trust you.

Even if you don't mean it?

Hello.

Sales is a manipulation in case you
haven't heard.

Right. I'm just oversensitive.

Don't mind me.

Come on.

I'll show you how to bring up a sale.

I got the job at La Robe.

I've sworn off men.

Life is full of promise.

Want to do a movie tonight?

Let's talk later.

Okay. Call me when you get off.

How can you let her manipulate you like
that? Is there a problem with your

shoes?

Are you in love with her? What?

I mean, Sam, I don't care.

I'm not that type of person.

But she's been telling everyone that
you're a lesbian.

But I don't judge anyone. Really, I'm
not that type of person.

But I just can't believe someone with
your obvious intelligence would allow

themselves to be tricked around like
that.

I mean, you're yearbook editor.

Did you know I'm pregnant with Butch's
baby?

Did she really tell you? She definitely
used the word.

So how come you never hang out with us
anyway?

Because you're Danny's friend.

You know, I was just telling Jennifer
the other day how I thought you were

probably a much cooler person than
Danny.

Well, yeah, well, it wouldn't be harder
to be cooler than my brother.

I've been dying to play with your hair.

You've got great hair.

I'll get the popcorn, you get the seeds.
I'll get the money, thank you.

Hey, what's up? I called you.

Sam, what did she do to your hair?

Come on, Sam.

But she's saving our seeds.

Hello? Somebody should ruin your life.

Teach you a lesson. You're a betraying,
evil person.

Hi, this is the show restaurant.

I am going to make sure that you never
get one wink of sleep for the rest of

your life.

You ruin my life, I'm going to ruin your
life.

And you know what?

I'll enjoy it.

Did you tell them what Lori said about
the baby?

She just laughed, said she didn't care.

You know, she could ruin every one of
our lives.

I don't know. It's affecting the baby,
too, her vibe.

Seriously, she should die.

What are we doing?

Killing Laurie's show?

You want to get a beer for me?

Give her a big bunch of brownies with a
tiny bit of arsenic.

How would you kill her, Sam?

What do you feel sorry for?

Lesbian lover?

What about the old classic?

Put the body in a tub full of
hydrochloric acid?

Pretty soon?

No body.

Not even the bones, man.

Tie a stone around her and throw her in
the river.

Laurie Sho sleeps with the bitches.

You can't do everything better to do on
a Saturday night. Don't you?

Ha!

I just get a butcher knife and slitter
throw.

Hi, I'm Officer Randolph. This is
Officer Webster.

Are you the one that's been getting the
phone call?

Did my mom call you?

Uh, thanks for coming.

I'm Lori's mom, Hazel. I can't believe
you did this. I know, honey. I know this

is scary, but we... Mom, you went behind
my back!

Look, why don't you tell us what's been
going on? We're here to help you.

Please come in.

Now my dad's kicked me out, and Bush and
I have to live in a trailer. And it's

all your fault!

I don't even know what she's talking
about.

I'll probably have to drop out of
school.

Courtney making love to your husband,
Hazel?

Doesn't it just eat away at your brain?

There's some parents who would kick out
of his trash like her, but you?

Oh, no, you just pretend you can't see
what's right in front of your face.

Did she make a threat anywhere on this
tape?

No. Only when she's got me on the phone.

So what can you do to tell her it's
against the law to call here? It's a

country. Honey, let them do their job.

Your daughter's right, Mr. Shaw.

Unless we can prove the Lambert girl's
making threats.

If you like, we can call her, maybe
scare her a bit. Nothing scares her.

Don't call her.

You might want to consider changing your
number.

No, it'll just make her madder.

Look, you kids are playing a high
-stakes game.

Trading partners every weekend. I mean,
things like this are bound to happen.

Hey, be easy.

Somebody's got to say it.

Everybody's scared of their kids these
days.

I am not afraid of my daughter.

And you have no idea what really
happened.

Mom?

Why don't you tell us what really
happened?

Don't answer him.

Well, thank you for coming.

We'll call you if we need you.

Call me.

That little bitch.

She called the cops.

These need to go back on the rack.

Sure. Thanks.

Excuse me.

Go away.

You can't keep doing this. It's my job.

Is shopping for my mother's birthday
against the law?

I don't know. Did I miss something? Just
go away.

What's the problem, Lori?

I'll tell you what the problem is.

Ever since she slept with the father of
my baby, she's been so guilty that she

can't stand the sight of me.

Please, get out of here, Michelle.

Don't do this.

I'm so sorry.

Maybe I should just stay home all summer
so you don't feel guilty.

Finish up the conversation, girl.

You and I'll talk later.

You called the cops. My mother did.

Oh, Lori.

Mr. Gardner found these in his barn.

Do they look familiar?

about you. That's the sad part.

Come on, Butch.

We'll go to Burlington's for Mom's
prayer.

You okay, Shell?

I think she heard the baby.

You go over to Michelle's house and I'll
go live with Dad, I swear.

You've already caused enough trouble
calling the cops.

Okay. Laurie, Uncle Jake and I had a
little talk.

He's been worried, too. He thinks
that... You told Uncle Jake?

About Butch and everything?

He's family. We need help.

I'm the one who can't handle things.

but Dad dumped you.

Enough, Laurie.

Trying to hurt my feelings is not going
to solve any of this. I'm not the enemy.

From now on, you're on a need -to -know
basis.

Deal with it.

I'll get it.

Look, just let me in, okay? I'm being
watched.

What? I'm being watched. It's Michelle,
over there.

Look, I'm supposed to tell you that I'm
going to this party and there's this guy

who saw you at the pool who wants to
meet you.

Lori?

Nothing, Mom.

But it's a lie.

So we can lure you out and hook you up
with Michelle and the rest.

And they're going to tie you up and
they're going to put you in Butch's van.

my God. Where they're going to spray you
with black paint and cut off your hair.

Last week she was talking about killing
you.

I think she's gone crazy.

Oh, hi, Sam.

Honey, come finish dinner. Sam, you can
come and join us. We're not talking

about anything you need to know.

I just came over to say hi.

Okay.

Close your blinds and lock your doors.

Why'd you warn me?

Did you tell her that... What?

Never mind.

She's a witch, and by the time you
figure it out, you're in too deep.

So take yourself.

All set? Yeah.

I hate walking in the rain.

Do you have an extra hymnal?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Coffee? No. I think maybe I'll have
waffles.

Just order me some oatmeal.

That's great, huh? Yeah. You must be
looking forward to it. Yeah, yeah. You

going to be playing any ball for him?

Hopefully. I'll make the team, huh?

Sorry.

This is my old business partner, Jim
Patterson, his nephew Andrew.

Andrew's going to be around all summer,
and I was telling him maybe you should

give him a call and see if you can get
together and see a movie or something.

Yeah, sure.

Sure, yeah.

I'll give you a call.

Great, great.

Hey, great to see you.

Take care. Nice meeting you.

He goes to Hotchkiss, Laurie.

I mean, I thought it would be a nice
change from some of the losers you've

hanging around with lately.

Here you go.

Great, thank you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

So this is the second time you've been
set up? Yeah.

It's going a little better than the
first time.

Thank you. I'm glad.

Sometimes these action movies all seem
the same, you know? Yeah, like you don't

even remember it an hour later.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry. I thought I... Never mind.

I left my glasses in the men's room.

Meet me at the car, okay?

Can I have the keys?

Yeah.

Fat and ugly form.

I wish I could do the same thing to her.

I feel so much better now.

I really needed to do that.

I refuse to be a victim.

Oh, God, don't let her be dead. Please
don't let her be dead.

One word out of you, lesbian freak, and
you'll be dead.

Tell the police and I'll kill you.

She'll be fine.

Let's go.

Let's go!

I'm not afraid to kill every one of you.

Lori!

Help! Somebody help!

She manipulates me into being her
friend, and then she sleeps with my

follows me to restaurants, attacks me in
public, tries to hurt my baby, and now

this?

I never touched her.

So you were nowhere near the East Town
Mall.

I told you where I was.

I was at the water tower and then the
Berger Palace.

I really need to go home.

I'm pregnant and I'm so tired.

I wouldn't be your age again for a
million bucks.

Especially a girl like you.

You know, somebody with some brains.

Most of those others don't seem like
they got much going on upstairs.

You and Laurie were buddies, right?

Doesn't it bother you?

Wouldn't you hope somebody would come
forward if it were you lying out there?

Sweetheart, did she threaten you?

We're at the water tower. Then we went
to the Burger Palace.

Hi, Christine.

It's Laurie.

Yeah, I had kind of an accident, and I
won't be coming into work anymore.

Uh -huh.

Okay, you too.

Bye.

Here you go, honey.

She didn't seem too disappointed.

This whole town sees me as a problem.

Well, to hell with what they think.

Andrew was nice, too.

He disappeared quick as a shooting star,
huh, Mom?

What?

What could you have done?

I don't know.

That's what I ask myself. What would
another mother do, one with some guts or

least a clue?

No, Mom.

Oh, God.

Now you're doing the same thing you told
me not to do.

Don't blame yourself.

Um, honey, I've been thinking that maybe
you should... What?

Maybe you should go stay with your dad
for a little while.

No way.

You know how much I hate the idea.

No way am I leaving you.

Never.

You're a great mom.

The best.

You've done everything right.

Even calling the cops.

Okay.

I tell you one thing. If you do stay,
you are not going anywhere alone again.

Even when school starts next month.

My color is terrible.

Maybe the baby's taking too much of my
blood.

I won't be home till ten or so.

What's taking me to work with you?

Just stay here and fix the place up a
little. It's a mess.

You're not really working a double
shift, are you?

You just want to meet up with Laurie's
show.

Will you shut up?

I'm killing myself to pay for us to live
in this pigsty here. The least you can

do is clean it up a little bit.

That's the way you guys are.

You're all just lying creeps in the end.

You like to rattle my cape, don't you?

You got the baby. You got me.

Then just shut up about Laurie's show.

You want me to move back in with my
parents, right?

So you can sleep with Laurie Scho right
here in this bed, right? Laurie Scho!

Laurie Scho! Laurie Scho!

Either

Jake

or I will be here at three.

Did you hate that? A little bit, honey.

I've got to talk to you.

Find someone else, Michelle.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just stopped shopping for the
baby.

Butch and I are having troubles.

You know, Lori's show again.

Sorry. Come on, Paula.

Did you hear that?

Hey, Tabby! Hey!

I've been waiting for you.

Wow.

How's it going?

You look so messed up.

I lost the baby.

I'm so happy, Tab.

That bitch, her vibes killed my baby.

I need help, Tab.

No one else has your guts.

Whatever.

Wherever, Shell, I'm there.

That was a really good game.

But the rep totally blew it. I know.

Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

One of these days, when you least expect
it.

I saw your painting, Laurie.

It's hard to bear seeing you live in
this kind of fear.

How did this happen?

I don't think you've faced it yet.

This is beyond our control.

But this was supposed to be a better
place.

You needed to believe that.

It's what got you through the divorce.

But the truth is, really bad stuff
happens everywhere.

It's hard for you to accept that.

Maybe you should start thinking about
what life's going to be like when I'm

gone.

Laurie, I don't want to hear you talk
that way. I'm sorry.

I just know that no matter what anyone
does, she's going to find a way to kill

me.

No, there has got to be something. I
don't accept this. There has got to be

kind of law.

So, CJ, we have no laws against
something like this, unless you're a

relative, husband, or live -in lover.

Even then, and even if you prove it,
it's just that gray area.

What about the assault charge? Did you
talk to her boss at Leroux?

She describes it as a catfight between
the two girls.

She says Lori attacked her first.

What are we supposed to do?

My daughter truly believes that she is
going to die.

We can't live like this. There's no
relief. Michelle is stalking her,

threatening her. They beat her up in a
parking lot.

What's next?

Look at this housecoat my daughter
dropped by for me on my birthday.

That's the kind of girl she is.

Miss Lambert.

We got a real problem here. And maybe
with your influence.

Did you know we were looking into
assault charges?

I should go back inside now. Did she
tell you?

No, our lives are being ruined.

I wouldn't do that. I'm going to have to
send my daughter away to live with her

father. As a mother, you must understand
that.

Assault charges.

That bitch.

Damn it, Buster.

There you are.

Bad, bad buster.

He's so cute.

Butch gave him to me.

He thought it would make me feel better
about the baby.

Can I hold him?

The other thing is, they're sending Lori
away to live with her father.

Why didn't you tell me that first?

I thought you'd be happy.

Nothing makes me happy.

I won't be happy until she's paid for
the pain and the suffering she's

caused me and my baby.

So then what's the plan?

We've got to get the big bitch out of
the house first.

And then how long do you think it'll
take once we're inside?

Like 15 minutes, right?

He bit me.

Give him back, you idiot.

15 minutes.

You think?

I will put her on the plane. Can you be
there to pick her up?

I've already told you all this, John.
Are you just not listening to me? The

are doing everything that they can.

It's the laws. They have no control over
sick people.

Great.

Fine. Bye.

We should get someone to fax you your
assignments.

You don't have the guts to slit
someone's throat.

We also need growth.

Are these good?

They're red, you idiot. We need black.

It's so funny.

Just picturing you two dressed up like
ninjas.

And we're going to need garbage bags.

Tomorrow you'll be kissing my feet.

That was the hospital calling saying
that Mary's out sick and there's like

surgeries this morning so can I come in
like right now?

No.

Honey, it didn't sound like I have a
choice.

So I'll call a taxi.

Did you make the call?

Cool.

Did you?

Uh -huh.

So cool.

This is hard.

Okay, go, Mom.

Don't get fired on top of everything
else.

Okay, um, Laura, you're gonna call me as
soon as you get there.

I love you, Mom.

Oh, honey.

I love you.

Okay, I gotta go.

Big bitches out of the house be back
here at 715 Everything I do

I do for you and me our friends and our
family

You didn't call and say you needed me
for an emergency bypass.

Why would I do that? Mary's on call.

Oh, God.

No.

Coffee's not even ready.

I can wait.

From the beginning again.

You guys picked me up at 6 .30.

So we could go out to Kmart and I could
buy my mother a birthday present.

Like my thumb.

And put... Just dropped us off and... He
went to Pennsylvania

Dutch for breakfast.

Concentrate. You have to be able to say
this under direct, Abby.

Okay.

So it wasn't open.

But you came back to get us.

We went out towards Old Philadelphia
Pike.

You said you forgot your purse, so we
went back.

You can't even do two things at once.

And what if she was fixing the tire?

You and me had something to... eat.

Shell.

We had something to eat.

Then these two Spanish girls insulted
you and I said, hey, that's my friend.

I shoved one of them and the other one
scratched me across the face.

Drive and get dressed.

Don't be late for school.

He leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake. Yea,

walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will be with you. Though it

with me, thy rod and thy staff may
comfort me.

Thou preparest the table before me in
the presence of my Father.

We're going to stay right here until you
tell me what happened.

And wasn't Tabby like you said?

My daughter was murdered.

I know who her killer is.

But it seems that my word is not enough
to convict her killer.

However, some of you know who killed
her.

So I am pleading with you.

Come forward and tell your stories.

Because when you think about it,

I could just as easily be any one of
your mothers standing up here.

Thank you.

Um, I need to speak to Officer Randolph.

They were more like you.

No, you don't.

I loved her.

I trusted her.

She seemed like the most unusual and
special person.

Like sunshine.

We shared the most intimate facts about
ourselves.

And within two weeks, she had slept with
my boyfriend.

And then began obsessing about him.

The man whose child I was carrying.

So we were just going to talk to her.

And if she didn't apologize, we were
going to tie her up.

I thought you lost the baby.

Maybe cut her hair.

A prank.

That's what I thought.

And that's when I saw the knife.

Abby pulled it from behind her back.

And Lori had her hands up.

Then I kept, you know, stop it, Tabby.

Put the knife away, Tabby.

She looks so messed up.

Help me.

Well, she needs to be put out of her
misery.

And Maury... Maury was saying...

Please don't leave me here.

Take me with you.

So I began pulling her towards the door.

And Tabby was saying, You're not going
anywhere.

We're going to stay and finish her off.

Why isn't she dead yet?

I said I wish he would die.

And I felt it too.

But I just need to say that I am so
sorry for my role in Laurie's death.

If I thought anything like that would
have happened that day, I never would

gotten out of bed.

And God is my witness.

I am not the one who murdered her.

I never knew that people could be so
evil.

I mean, weren't we taught that people
were basically good?

She lied so perfectly, so easily.

You don't think anyone would ever
believe her, do you? I asked the DA the

question today.

What did he say?

He's worried.

I didn't want to tell you. You didn't
want to tell me what?

What he said is if they believe
Michelle, we can't convict.

We've got no witness.

But Laurie told me.

You weren't a witness to the murder,
Hayes. Oh, my God.

So now I'm the liar.

You believe me, don't you, Jake?

It was never a question.

But it's the jury we have to worry
about.

She's a brilliant actress, and there's
no one who can change their minds except

you.

And then I looked over, and, um, Laurie
was there, lying on the floor.

Um... Her hands were still moving, and
there was blood all around her.

And so I stepped into the room, and I
went over to her side, and I

knelt down beside her, and I saw that
she had a rope around

her neck.

And I put my fingers under the rope to
cut it, and she moaned.

And she let out this little breath.

And that's when I saw that her throat
was gone.

And so I just, I cradled her and I tried
to keep her together.

Sorry.

And then I asked her who did this.

She said, Michelle did it.

And I told her I loved her and that God
would take care of her.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

Will the defendant please rise?

Please read the verdict.

We find the defendant, Michelle Lambert,
guilty of murder in the first degree.

Sentencing will be on Monday at 9 a .m.

This court is adjourned.
