Spring time

marks the start of the long breeding season

for the Northern Cottontail rabbit.

The female rabbit or doe,

can deliver as many as six litters a year.

Despite this fabled fertility,

rabbit population is on the decline

in much of Northland.

The reasons why are as yet unclear.

Train station, please.

Where are you going?

Uhm, Sudbury.

Sudbury?

That is many leagues away.

I can take you there, but it will cost you money.

No, you don't have to take me all the way to Sudbury.

I don't have that kind of money.

No problem. I'll take your credit card.

No, wait a minute, you can't take me to Sudbury.

I said, no problem!

Hello, Frog?

Yes, I'm sending my assistant up to capture you and she...

Yes, she...

She's got orders to terminate the fucking tour

with extreme prejudice, you understand me?

You're not a band, you're a sickness.

You're a medical oddity, you're a fucking cancer!

What a day.

March 24th:

Good Friday.

I'm driving north on Highway 69.

The Children of Paradise were supposed to tour

from Sudbury to Thunder Bay.

But they screwed up.

I'm supposed to bring them back.

I figure we're about the half-way point.

So, is it really hard to drive or what?

No, all you need is a tape deck and a good supply of dope.

You don't drive, hey?

Reminds me of this buddy of mine.

Don't want to name any names,

but a certain well-known English guitar virtuoso

from the mid-seventies,

he couldn't drive either.

Loved cars, he loved collecting cars.

When he toured America I used to drive him around.

From groupie to groupie.

He drove around in the cab so much

he got attached to it, he wanted to buy it for his collection.

I said: "Look, if you buy this taxi",

you gotta buy me with it",

that scared him off.

One time at a record relea...

So here I go.

I just drove through Parry Sound.

I've never been this far north before.

The trees are getting small and bent.

Rocks are cropping up everywhere.

I have this feeling

that a new whole set of rules apply up here.

I hope I brought appropriate clothes.

Oh, well, I'm just going overnight.

I'm still confident that I can handle the situation.

I am a little nervous.

But it's a good kind of nervous.

♪ I buried him Down by the river ♪

♪ Cause that's where He liked to be ♪

♪ And every night ♪

♪ When the moon is high ♪

♪ I go there and weep openly ♪

♪ He and I were married ♪

♪ By this river ♪

♪ 'Neath this willow tree ♪

♪ And with God And friends witnessing it ♪

Okay.

I need to go to...

Sleepy Trail Motel.

Pizza.

I could really go for a slice of pizza.

I've been driving 18 hours straight.

Reminds me of the time I was back in Memphis,

Elvis used to phone me up in the middle of the night

and say: "Buddie, wanna come on over to my house

and bring me chilli dogs."

Stop! Stop the car!

That's the band.

♪ We are the magic people ♪

Excuse me?

Excuse me? Hello?

Hello?

What are you doing in here?

What does it look like?

I'm sleeping.

Is this your van?

No.

This is all poison, man.

Yeah, well, I still think we should just press on.

What kind of teas you got?

Just tea, just plain brown tea.

- But you have any herbal teas? - No, Sir.

Canadian tea is all we have.

Comes in the little bags, you know.

Forget it.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to get out.

Come on.

I'm just sleeping.

Trying to get some sleep, nothing wrong with that.

- Yes, but this isn't your van. - Everybody does it.

It's normal.

Is what everyone you're supposed to do.

Maybe I'll just help you find another place to sleep in.

First, they kick you out of your house.

- Then they... - I'll help you out, here we go.

- Let's go. - To wake you up.

- There you go, sir. - It's not fair!

Who's responsible for this?

Who do you work for, lady?

- It's okay now. - Some government agency?

- No. - Huh?

Yeah, that's it, some government agency.

You work for Brian Mulroney?

Getting people, waking them up.

I only want two more hours.

♪ We are the magic people ♪

Is that fresh or is it canned?

I'm looking for the Children of Paradise.

We are the Children of Paradise.

That van out there, isn't yours, you know?

It was rented by Mr. Seth,

who lent it to you for this tour.

And I found it out there with doors wide open

and some man, a derelict,

making himself at home in the back seat.

Yeah?

I'm shocked by your irresponsible behavior.

Yeah, well, he's our drummer.

He's your drummer?

Yeah.

Why don't you just have a seat and we can talk.

Maybe about our irresponsible behavior.

Why did you miss your last four dates?

We had a small problem.

I'm sorry, that's just not good enough.

You have a responsibility.

- Are you Mathew, the singer? - No.

I'm Frog, the bass player.

I'd like to speak to Mathew, please, where is he?

Well, see, that's our small problem.

Mathew cut out of here like four days ago, man.

We don't know where he is.

So we just figured we'd go along our route and hopefully

Mathew would join up with us

when he's found what he's looking for.

What's he looking for?

Spiritual transcendence?

Mm-m. He's seeking out the enlightened masters.

He's kind of on a quest, a spiritual quest.

Well...

I'm just gonna have to call Roy and tell him what's going on.

Spiritual transcendence...

That's a pretty unpredictable thing.

Who knows how long it could take.

A couple of days?

Eternity?

I'm pretty sure Roy's gonna want you to come back.

Well, yeah, whatever the boss says.

Do you have a phone around here?

You can use the phone in the kitchen.

All right, then.

That's one fruit salad,

one plain yoghurt,

two grapefruit juices,

and a lettuce sandwich and carrot

on brown bread, no butter?

Is that for here or to go?

To go.

Hungry, I'm very hungry.

I must have the food of the gods.

If a rockstar wants to see God he gets stoned for Christ sake.

He doesn't go on a spiritual quest

in the middle of the goddamn tour.

I don't fucking believe it!

Okay, don't worry. Everything's under control.

I sent those animals up there to make money,

not find themselves!

Okay, just calm down. Calm down!

I'm gonna calm down

when I see those fuckers back here in the city

lying in a pool of blood at my feet, you understand me?

I want them back, I want them back now!

Good bye.

The lights, camera, action.

Hi, you mind if we ask a few questions?

Just look at the camera, yeah, that's right.

Don't look at me, no, don't. Look right at the camera.

What's your name?

Ramona.

You seem a little upset.

What's wrong?

I am upset.

Can you tell us why you're upset?

Cause I only have two dollars and 32 cents.

So, you're upset because you suddenly

become overwhelmed by your poverty.

No, I'm upset because

I just lost my suitcase with my clothes and things.

I lost my money,

my boss's credit card, and probably my job.

What do you do?

I work for a rock promoter.

He sent me up here to look for this band

called the Children of Paradise.

How much is he paying you?

Well...

the federal government is paying me.

I was hired on an employment program.

Okay, that makes sense now, ok.

That's great, cut.

Okay, how was that for you?

- It was pretty good. - Okay.

Rafi?

It's OK?

That was good for you? Good.

That was fantastic, that was great.

Guess what? we have something in common the two of us.

My name is Bruce Shack.

I'm Shack, I make films and stuff, documentary films.

Shoulder BladesandMetropolis?

Lesbians in El Salvador?

Okay, what we have in common is we have the same boss.

Roy, Roy Seth?

He hired me to come up here

and do a video for the Paradise kids.

- You just get here? - Yeah.

Okay, well, listen, uhm...

Let's go inside,

we can take the camera crew, you guys come in.

We'll get a shot of Ramona

meeting the Paradise kids for the first time.

- That'd be great. - You can't.

Why not?

They're gone, I scared them away.

I think I just came down too hard on them

and I just scared them away.

No, listen, listen, it's OK.

If you're worried, we'll go find them.

Don't worry about it, there's a fish in your head.

That's interesting.

That's what Roy wants, just another stupid video.

Okay, we'll find them, first thing in the morning.

They just drove off.

Are they all on spiritual quests?

I don't know.

They're not that bad, they just didn't...

Now I'm really pissed off. If you think...

I think I can make some of your money back.

I'm traveling with the film crew.

- All right, listen good. - I am listening!

You listen to me, all I have to do

is find the band, wherever they are,

find Mathew, wherever he is, and get them together in time

No! just get the fuck back here.

AM 58, Northern Ontario...

March 25th: Saturday

I woke up this morning feeling weird,

disoriented, and uncomfortable.

Then I remembered I was in Sudbury.

And it all started to make sense.

Morning, Ramona, how was your sleep?

Okay, I guess.

It looked great.

How are you feeling today?

Pretty lousy.

I don't have a toothbrush and...

- Thank you. - And?

And I wish I had a change of clothes.

I think we can do something about that.

♪ She's dancing with cadavers ♪

- Can I help you? We're from the CBC.

Uhm, lights there.

Do you mind if we ask you a few questions?

No, not at all.

We're doing a sort of documentary on accounting.

Oh, oh!

You guys are pretty radical.

Well, we have credit cards, yes.

Yeah? Could you show us how do those work?

Ah, sure -Oh, oh, over here, just...

Oh, just down here?

Just to get a shot of you sort of punching numbers in.

That's a nice look.

Okay, now you're just coming up to the big total.

Punching it in. You're looking at it.

Numbers coming up, you lost an incredible amount.

That's great, that's every accountant's nightmare.

- What's your name? - My name is Casey.

- I am Stan. - I'm Buddie.

Pleased to meet you.

Straight ahead.

OK, more gas, that's great, beautiful, you're driving.

You're driving! Now press that gas.

A little sweaty, don't be nervous.

Wow!

Get in there, get in there!

Just get in there, that's great. Around the other side.

Over there.

My God.

Just gotta face it.

It's part of driving.

If you wanna drive, you gotta kill.

Don't worry about it, it's just a small animal.

But you know what? I'm glad you killed that animal.

I'm glad you killed that muskrat because I need it.

That muskrat is just what I was looking for.

It's a... it's a symbol.

It's a symbol of...

I'm not exactly sure of what, but it's a symbol of...

Capitalism. Yes.

Cause we all are roadkill in a way.

Okay, Rafi, get in there, get a close shot.

This is going to be a great opening sequence.

All I need now is an ending.

There he was, with his face off

He said: "Hi, Buddie, how you doing?

Look, my limo's got a flat

and I gotta get to the Fillmore, can you help?"

I said: "I'm sorry, man,

I gotta go to the international to pick up Mick."

This guy was begging me, desperate, so I said: "hop in".

Guy took off to the limo

and came back with two 20-foot long giant snakes.

Pythons, right?

Okay, Ramona, quickly.

Just get up on the dog, hold on to its ears and smile.

No!

I've got better things to do than to straddle some dog.

Gotta find the band!

We're way behind schedule, who knows where they are now.

I don't give a shit about the Children of Paradise.

I want to make a movie.

I want to make a movie and I want you to be the star.

What?

You're the star, I need you.

Well, you never asked me!

I don't wanna make any more videos.

I want to make a movie about real life.

And you're real life.

Okay, so let's just try from the top.

- No, I'm leaving. - You can't leave!

This is a movie about you!

It's a movie about women in rock!

Roadkill!

Rafi, we can't let her get away. Let's go.

Somewhere between Sturgeon Falls and North Bay.

It's getting dark.

I should be looking for a place to spend the night.

Instead, I'm thinking about my life.

And all the times in my life when I thought I was doing OK

and I ended up alone and angry

and terribly, horribly lost.

How much for a hot dog?

Do you have any miniature dogs?

I only have two dollars and 30 cents.

They smell delicious.

I haven't eaten in all day.

Are you sure?

Thanks.

Bye.

Winnie boy, Winnie boy

such a tasty treat.

Winnie boy, Winnie boy...

Look, I don't know what you want, but I...

I really don't feel like talking.

I had a tough day.

Winnie boy, Winnie boy,

eat my candy feet.

You'll jump of joy for the Winnie boy

when you meet him on the street.

And then, uhm...

when I was in grade 11th,

I started going out with Mark.

He was my big boyfriend in high school.

We were together for about four years.

He was nice and everything.

He would always buy me presents, little gifts.

Christmas, Valentine's Day,

Mother's Day,

Remembrance Day,

then, one time, he bought me an engagement ring.

I guess we were gonna get married.

And he bought me a bottle of champagne.

And I poured it over his head.

Poured a whole bottle of champagne over his head.

I don't know why.

I guess I figured I didn't like him too much.

Seems I get stuck in these situations

where someone gives me a gift

and I pour a bottle of champagne over their head.

I don't know what to do.

You're a good listener.

I could talk to you forever.

You must have stories of your own.

AM 58 Northern Ontario's music station...

What are you doing?

Oh...

Okay.

I'll do it.

Finished, all done.

Can I ask you a question?

Can you speak?

Were you born this way?

No.

Why don't you speak?

You want to write.

"Vow of silence."

Why?

"Nothing left to say."

When I write about it now,

it sounds almost scary.

But I'm not scared.

There's a kind of connection between the two of us.

I think I can help him.

He seems to be searching for something.

You're Mathew, aren't you?

I'll see you in the morning.

You know, Beef.

Looking at you...

You remind me of this song.

I'll tell you a story about it.

I was working as a roadie.

For a certain West Coast band who would one day be famous.

I don't want to name any names,

but if you put a president's name with an airplane,

you know who I'm talking about.

You know who I'm talking about?

I know.

Well, Beef, they recorded this certain song.

To them, you know, they recorded it on tape,

it was just a joke to them, never gonna put it on a record.

And I said: "listen, listen, guys,

put this song on a record, it'll make it."

Beef, you know what that song was?

I'm looking at it, Beef, that song was you.

Yeah, you, Beef.

Beef...

For a little guy you got soul.

You want a toke? Here, Beef.

Yeah.

You are too cool, Beef.

You are going places.

Good morning.

Rise and shine.

I thought you might like some breakfast.

And I made you some coffee, it's probably cold now.

Cereal looks a little soggy.

Who are you?

My name is Russel Scully.

What are you doing here?

I think I should be the one asking the questions.

This is my house. I live here.

What about Mathew?

I don't know anyone named Mathew.

The guy sleeping in that room. The weenie boy.

Is he the one who left his hair on my kitchen floor?

Yeah.

There's no one in the house, except me.

Oh, my God!

I'm sorry. I thought my friend lived here.

Well, I think your friend is pulling your leg.

- I'm so sorry. - No. Don't apologize.

It's nice to have a visitor.

I don't have people over very often.

Well...

You'd better get yourself all dressed and ready to go.

I don't have any clothes on!

No. I washed them for you.

It's nice to wake up to fresh, clean clothes.

Would you like a bath?

I'd better start packing.

I'm sorry about all this.

What did you say your name was?

Russel Scully.

Ah.

My name is Ramona.

Uhm. I hope you don't take me for one of those people

that break an entrance

into other people's homes

on a regular basis. Is just that...

I left all my things in Sudbury.

I'm not from around here, you see?

I'm from Toronto.

And I'm not used to the way things are done...

around here.

You see, I'm supposed to find this band

called The Children of Paradise.

You don't have to tell me all of this.

Uh... I read your diary.

Uhm... I'm going on a trip to Thunder Bay.

If you'd like to come along. I could help you find

that band you're looking for.

Oh. Sure.

You know, I was very impressed by your diary.

You're a very good writer.

You're very talented.

Have you ever thought about writing a book?

No.

Maybe you could write the story of my life.

Mhm.

I can help you with that.

Aha.

Not such a bad idea.

What do you think about that?

Are you sure you want to drive?

- I could do it if you like. - Oh. I'm fine.

Have you ever driven a truck before?

Yes. I drove a Winnebago.

Put your hands at ten to two.

That's 12:45.

Ten to two.

It's important to keep on the right side of the road.

You can look in the rear-view mirror,

every now and then, if you like.

God, this actually very good. It's...

You have an intuitive feel for the road

It's a pleasure for me.

Usually, people on my line of work

have to drive long distances by themselves.

What is your line of work?

I'm a serial killer.

A what? A serial killer.

Uhm. It's a person who commits a series of...

unmotivated murders, based on personal compulsions.

It's more of an American thing, traditionally,

but it doesn't have to be. It's like everything else.

This is a colonial attitude, but if you wanna make it

you gotta go down to California, or something,

but I'm gonna change all that.

Look out!

Hate to see an animal suffer.

It's dead.

Oh, my God.

Have you ever had cat food before?

It's very good. It's very tender...

and moist. This is gonna be

an Easter Sunday dinner like you've never had before.

I hope you like garlic.

Russel?

Are you really a serial killer?

Well...

I've never killed anyone before,

but that's what I'm shooting for that's my ambition.

I know it's a hired profession and it's a competitive field

and getting tougher every year.

You have to kill 20 people now, before you're taken seriously,

but, let's face it, what other options do I have?

There's not a lot of opportunities

for social mobility.

I mean, you can either become a hockey player,

or take up a life of crime and...

I have weak ankles, so, there you go.

This will take about 30 minutes and then...

It's self-basting so...

you don't have to pay much attention to it.

You can go and have a drink.

Somewhere nice.

People are just dying for something to happen.

I mean...

No one big has come out of these parts

since the Dionne quintuplets.

I just gotta sit down and make some decisions.

Gotta decide...

what kinds of techniques to use.

Uh, what kind of victims, what I want my trademark to be,

whether I wanna use guns, or knives, or disembowelment.

Are you sure you don't want any of this meat?

No, I don't think so.

It's good.

It's so tender, you can eat it with a spoon.

I don't eat meat.

Oh.

When did you become a vegetarian?

Just recently.

I respect that.

I respect that.

I respect you.

That's why I'm telling you all of this.

I don't want you to feel any way in danger

or that you have to be afraid of me because you know me.

As a matter of fact, you're much safer,

because I'm only gonna kill absolute strangers.

Don't you think that you'll be a lot more well known

if you killed one famous person, than a huge series?

I never thought of it that way.

Well, I appreciate your input

but I kind of have my heart set on the serial killer thing.

I got a piece of the spine stuck in my teeth.

Russel!

Russel!

Russel!

What is the matter?

Just get into the truck.

What is it with you?

What kind of entertainment is that?

I thought we were gonna go to a nice bar

and have a quiet drink.

But this? I don't know how you could sit through this.

I don't know why people feel they have to go up on-stage

and put bandages on their face and cause trouble.

I don't trust people who put bandages on their face!

If you have something to say, why don't you just say it!

It was just an act.

It was an act of violence and you loved it!

You loved it!

Sorry.

I just don't like that kind of music.

Russel, I don't think this is gonna work out.

Look, just get into the truck.

We've got lots of work ahead of us.

We do? Well,

the band's not here, so, we've gotta find them

and you've gotta start writing that book about me,

that authorized biography.

I'm not going to write a book about you.

But, I'm giving you exclusive rights.

No.

I thought we were gonna help each other.

I don't need any help.

OK.

Fine.

Bye.

If you get in trouble, give me a call.

There's lots of weirdos out there.

I've got a beeper.

March 26th.

Easter Sunday.

What am I doing in Kopka Migawan?

Whatever this town is called.

What is anyone doing in Kopka Migawan?

This land wasn't made to support human life.

Why do I still worry about The Children of Paradise?

Maybe they belong up here in this idiot wilderness.

I'm beginning to understand why I've done so little traveling.

I should be back in Toronto.

I wish I was.

There's no place like home.

For the night, I guess.

Don't you want to go steady with me?

That'd be nice, Luke, but I can't.

I gotta move on.

There's something I've gotta do.

Well, you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

Right.

How old are you, anyways?

- Fifteen. - Fifteen?

Yeah.

When do you guys start having sex around here?

You know the usual time, 10:30, 11 o'clock.

- Hi. - Hi.

I want you to have my car.

I can't take your car.

It's okay, it's my dad's.

Okay.

Thanks. Bye.

Bye.

Which key is it?

This one, right here.

Look, I know how to deal with these guys now.

I've got it all figured out.

I just have to find the band...

I'm sure I can.

Yes! I'm sure I can.

I know how to put on a show

and get great publicity at the same time.

No!

Why would I trust you?

All you've been able to do

is waste a huge amount of my money.

But now it's over.

It's over and you're coming back.

Do you hear me?

I'm going through with my plan.

I just thought I'd let you in on it.

If I have to go there myself...

I swear there'll be hell to pay.

You and your degenerate pals are gonna be dead meat.

CCCP.

They're nothing but trouble.

We saw them in front of the library.

They were pissing on the wall.

They should be in a field.

Haven't seen them.

They wear sunglasses all the time or...?

March 27th. Easter Monday.

OK. I'm on a roll now.

Once I set my mind to it, it was remarkably easy

to find everyone and bring them together.

I know what I'm doing now.

Everyone I've met has been looking to me for something.

I think I have a way to give them exactly

what they want.

Are you ready? I'm ready.

See you there.

Now I really am nervous.

So nervous, I feel almost sick.

But it's a good, good kind of nervous.

No. The door and 40% gross.

Door at ten percent.

Twenty percent.

They do four sets.

Two long sets?

I want a quarter a piece.

An hour, each.

Okay, toots, you've got yourself a deal.

Welcome, tonight...

something special. We've got a camera crew here.

Welcome, camera crew.

And...

Four guys who were into something pretty good.

Children of Paradise!

Woo!

I want to say that...

I've been doing this rock'n'roll thing for...

quite a long time.

Since I was about 14 I've been up on stage

jumping around, singing...

in front of people.

It gets quite hard when you're...

doing something you don't...

believe in anymore.

Shut up and play!

I just stand up feeling like...

like a goof...

Like I'm really being a goof.

And I stopped believing some time ago.

But now, I'm back.

And I'm gonna go all the way.

Holy shit!

Yeah!

Thank you.

Capitalism!

Ramona!

Tomorrow morning at the office, 9 o'clock.

Don't be late.

Are you feeling alright?

Yeah!

Let me hear you say 'yeah!'

Hey buddy, could you use fan?

Joey! What are you doing in Sudbury?

Hey, Buddie! How are you doing, man?

It's good to see you!

Well you know, a dear friend of ours

gave us a real hot tip about buying

some good fertile property up here.

But we gotta get back to New York.

- New York? - Yeah.

I'd love to take you.

But, I can't. I brought this girl up here.

Like a point of honor.

She seems so vulnerable and dumb.

All her stuff is in the back. But, Buddie...

you're our favorite taxi driver.

I'm sorry. I cannot take you there, but...

Two little men gave me this. I'll give it to you.

It will help you on your journey.

Okay, well, we'll cherish this forever.

Yeah.

Well, take care.

Bye. Bye.

...concerning the disappearance

of animal carcasses known as roadkill, from our highways,

incriminating evidence, that the Weenie Boy has...

Hey, Buddie!

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

Ramona!

How much do I owe you?

Well...

The meter says 2.50.

Keep the change.

Wow! Thanks a lot!

Thanks very much!

Hey! Whatever happened with that rock band?

It's a long story. I'll tell you some day.
