Red Rover, Red Rover
Send to Emily now!

Come on Emily!

Who's it gonna be?

OK, Bobby Tricker

Gross! He's always picking his nose,
and eating his boggies

So what? He's a win

Come on you guys, we can do it,
Come on Christine, just hold on

Red Rover, Red Rover, send
Bobby Tricker right over!

Hi, it's Sam, I'm out, deliberately
avoiding your call, leave it to beep

Hello, I wasn't sure that was your
number until I heard that message,

now I know it must be you

It's me, Chrissy, what is expecting,
that is expecting a child

and expecting you to show up
like you promised

for old gang, maybe not old,
but if we stuck

If, well, I hope when you're coming
in, after all, a promise is a promise!

Thomas Wolf once said
"You can't go home again"

Well that's great for old Tom,
but he wasn't a chick who made a pact

with her friends when she was 12 to get
together whenever any one of them
needed each other

So here I am, driving back
to my childhood home in Indiana

A place I can tell you
I never wanted to see again

I guess a promise is a promise

Sure it looks like I picked
the wrong way to quit smoking

Hi Doc, play some ball?

Not today, way too busy ...
oh that's for me.

("I'll Be There" by The Jackson Five)

Good morning Chrissy, anybody home?

Be right there!

Just look at your shoulder, honey

Hey, soda jiffy pop for you.

Thank you

Don't go near the stove or
you may burst

Very funny!

But if this baby doesn't come soon I'm
gonna have to be reaching and yanking it out myself

That would be pretty

Where is the list?

Ain't got it.

Can you believe this tramp? What is it
that she has that gets people so excited?

- Long legs, a tiny waist and perky breasts
- Roberta you know how I feel about swearing

Chrissy, breast is not a dirty word

- Can't hear you!
- Breast

- Can't hear you!
- Breast

- Can't hear you!
- Breast!

Hey... good to see you.

Hi Roberta, you look great.

- How you doing?

Picture!

And you, look at you!

Thanks for coming.

Hey bitches!

Good Lord!

- How you doing, star?
- Hi Roberta

- Good to see you.
- Oh God!

Picture!

- Look at your belly!
- Tina Tercell!

Teeny, Teeny, Teeny

Picture!

No, you look good!

Yes, I'm a supermodel

- Good to see you, Teeny
- Yeah, it's been too damn long

Come on in

- Taa-ta! - It looks exactly like it did
when your mum lived here.

You know what they say:
like mother like daughter.

What can I get you to drink?

- Jack Daniels
-Oh, that would be great

We don't keep hard liqueur
in the house

Whatever you have,
anything is fine

Root beer?

-Great

-Good.
- Be back in a jiffy

I've been looking for one
of these.

- I can't believe you kept this thing
- Morton wanted to tear it down and

put a doll boy, but I just couldn't
part with it

Besides it's not mine to tear
down, belongs to all of us

I really want to thank you
guys for showing up.

Hey, don't worry about it, Chrissy,
I think you'll make a great mum

A little overbearing and rigid,
but by the grace of God, they can come out

relatively unharmed,
and if not, there is always therapy

I can not believe you're having a
baby Chrissy, make me feel very old.

This whole baby thing baffles

I mean you have it, raise it, you
inevitably screw it up

it resents you, feel guilty
for resenting you,

Then it has a baby which only
perpetuates the vicious cycle

Thank you Oscar the Grouch!

-So Sam, what are you working on now?
- My tenth

If you ask me, you ought to write a book
about something people can relate to

I didn't understood half of that
"aliens next door" thing

You take that as a compliment?

Why don't you write a romance
novel like Danielle Steel?

Now there is lady who knows
how to write a page turner

It's true Roberta, the longer they're
gone, the weirder they get

You know what? I'd just like to see
you guys more often

What it's been, huh? 10 years
since you've been back?

Don't give me any grief

Roberta, for example,
has chosen to be...

alternative!

she lives in sin with her boyfriend
but she is still normal.

Yes I'm normal

She hasn't had 4 failed
marriages or

endless series of monogamous
relationships ...

or wear black

- She is happy.
- Technically, I have only married 3 times,

the first one was annulled.

See?

Oh, you do think everything is
so funny; if you ask me,

you both need to grow up

Maybe you're right

Shelby, Indiana was not the most
exciting place to grow up

In fact, the most common cause of
death before puberty was boredom

And in the days before MTV and Nintendo,
we had to find ways to entertain ourselves

The summer of 1970 started out
like any other summer

School ended and we had 3
months of freedom ahead of us

But that freedom wasn't enough,
we wanted independence

A place to call our own. That's
why we decided to buy the tree house

And the quest to earn money was
our summer goal

The 4 of us lived in the
Gaslight Addition

It was a dream neighborhood.
A brand new free plan community

built when new was in
and old was out

- I'm tired of this, I don't want
to hear it anymore.

- But what?
- Calm down please.

I'm tired of talking about these things.
How many times we'll have this conversation?

- We have tried for years
- Maybe you spend more time at home.

No! Say what for?

Come on

My parents had been fighting
for as long as I could remember

It never bothered me.
It was the opposite actually,

it was comfort and consistency

No matter what I do,
they just keep getting bigger!

You'd better hurry up,
your breakfast is getting cold

Roberta grew up with her dad
and 3 older brothers

her mother died when she was 4.
That's her in the picture

Roberta never left the house
without that picture.

Tina, tell us how you felt at the exact
moment when you realized you had won?

Well, I can only say that
I've thought about this day ...

that I've thought about this day, dreamed
about this day for as long as I can remember

To win an Academy Award at such a
young age is an enormous accomplishment,
where'd you go from here?

Teeny was an only child, her parents were
country clubbers, never around really

Typical upbringing for actors and
pathological liars.

92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 ...

Chrissy, oh sorry honey,
can I come in?

Sure!

Oh honey, keep this closed,
records get dusty

Oh oh, cubby up, cubby down,
is that the right way?

You know what, Chrissy,
I've been thinking

about what you asked me.
About sex?

Yes dear, you said it very casually,
very scary for mammy, like somebody going

"boom", that's what sex is
-I'm sorry, mammy

Well, it's all right, it's fine, I
believe you're too young to be informed

but since your friends are trash
mouths, I think you should hear it

from me, the facts. This is gonna
come as a shock to you, but...

This is a flower, right?

OK, well, all women have
a garden

And a garden needs a big
hose to water it ...

or a small hose as long
as it works

As a direct result of this
conversation, Chrissy would spend

a significant part of her adult life
obssessed with garden

Those are the Wormers, everyone in the
neighborhood felt sorry for their mother.

Like us, the Wormers also had a summer
goal. It was to make our lives miserable.

They were the enemy

Hey wormy Wormers!

Now!

Chrissy down!

Go, go, go!

Roberta, you okay?

We owe you Wormers,
and we always pay our debts!

As if we are afraid of
a bunch of girls!

You should be!

("Band of Gold" by Freda Payne)

Your idea of foreplay is: A) a candle-lit
dinner and moonlight walk on the beach

B) making out on a bear skin rug
in a remote log cabin

C) watching a sexy movie,
or D) all of the above.

B

E, none of the above.

Roberta, that's not a possible
answer

B, I guess

Definitely A

Surprise, Surprise!

I pick D, all of the above

Surprise, Surprise!

That's 107 dollars and 24 cents

So how much more do we
need?

- 23 more dollars and the tree
house is ours

Hey, I said the first night we
get a slumber party

Oh Sam, get around to
your mom!

- How short are those shorts!
-How tall are those boots!

("These Boots Are Made For Walking"
by Nancy Sinatra)

I had no idea why, but earlier that summer,
my mom began to dress like Nancy Sinatra

Wow, your mom is so cool!

Hey you guys, there is full moon
tonight, festival of the spirits who came

back to earth and walked among
the living

4 Black Cows, that'd be
$ 1.60 boys

We're girls

I know

- She is so odd!
- What did you expect? She's a witch

I swear! She's got Voodoo dolls
and everything

I saw them. And hear this:

One of the dolls looked exactly like
Principal Winters, and you know what?

There was a needle sticking
right in the middle of his heart

I saw it the morning before he
had his heart attack

So, do we try another seance tonight?
It didn't work last time and
it's not gonna work this time

It will work, this is the one night when
the barrier between the death and the
living can be broken

-I read in the Encyclopedia of Supernatural
Phenomena. -You are so weird

- I'm in.
- Yeah, me too.

Here the scores. Roberta, you're a woman
on the verge, although your sensuality

is yet to be tapped, is like a volcano ready
to erupt. Wow, everybody look out for Roberta

- That's crap.
- Samantha, you walk the fine line between

romanticism and sex appeal, don't be afraid
to take the plunge, you might surprise yourself

- I'll keep that in mind.
- Chrissy, let go of your inhibitions,

before you dry up like a prune

What's that supposed to mean?

Now me: Teeny, you are
a sexual magnet

attracting men from the 4 corners
of the world, pace yourself.

I'll pick the rest of my stuff
when the girls are out the house

- No need to move out
- Please, we passed that point. This just isn't working

I decided not to tell the others
about my father

Call me a fool, but I actually
thought he'd be back

A wishful notion I held
on to for years

At the time no one in the
Gasliht Addition had gotten a divorce

And the last thing I wanted was
to be different from my friends.

Freezing, it's so cold out here. Take my
shirt, now I'll be cold, but maybe you'll shut up

- It makes me look fat.
- You are fat.

I am not fat ...

Am I fat?

Now hold hands with the person
sitting next to you, palm to palm.

-Let's contact Marilyn Monroe.
- She didn't cooperate last time.

No one ever cooperates!

I think we should bring back
someone buried in this cemetery.

How about Dear Johnny?

Let's find out how he died

Close your eyes, guide us in our pursuit
of the spiritual world, keep our circle safe

from those who promote evil and seek
to harm

Dear Johnny, we know you were just a kid
when you died. We wanna find out how

- I'm here!
- Concentrate

Dear Johnny, can you hear me?
If you can hear me, give us a sign,
let us know

It's okay, we just wanna talk to you,
tell us how you died

He's here ...

- He wants to tell us his story.
- Chrissy?

I think we should stop.

He is afraid

Tell him not to be afraid,
tell him it's okay

He's all by himself, he's lonely,
he needs a friend

I got you!

- Hey, that hurt!
- You deserve it, fart ass!

If you ever do that again.

I'm sorry you guys, but you're so
gullible when it comes this seance stuff,

I mean it's just all pretend,
right?

Chrissy! Where you going? Somebody
get her before she gets a heart attack!

- Chrissy, back!
- Chrissy wait up! We're behind you!

Come on, Sam!

- Sam, we got to get out of here.
-You guys, there's somebody out there!

- I don't see anyone.
Probaby just the wind or something

Roberta, why can't you just
act like a girl?

Look what you've done.

What?

You know I hate getting dirty

It's nothing

It's Crazy Pete.

- Let's cut to the field

Base to Chrissy, base to Chrissy

What?

We need a secret meeting

Now?

Remember I saw someone in the cemetery
after the seance? I think he came to my bedroom

- Who?
- Dear Johnny.

Give me a break! -This is really
a bad idea. This is definitely not a good idea

Shut up Chrissy or I beat the crap
out of you right now! -Ditto

Sam! Are you okay?

- Holy cow!
- We did it. We actually did it.

He's back, we brought him here

Nothing on Dear Johnny, everything
before 1948 was lost in a fire

but Ms. Wendy says the Greenfield Library
carries copies of all the county newspapers

- That settles that.
- That settles what?

We can't ride our bikes
all the way to Greenfield

Can we?

("No Matter What" by Badfinger)

- Truth or dare, Roberta?
- Truth

How big are your boobs now?

Drop dead!

She has to say, doesn't she Sam?

She doesn't have to say
if she doesn't want to

- Then can we see them?
- No you can't see them!

- And yours grow?
- I don't have any grown ones yet

You'll get them, and you'll
hate them

No, you're lucky Roberta,
men love when they're big

Look how big are mine
today

They almost look real

It filled with pudding

Pudding?

The Wormers actually gave me
the idea

Jelly-o is too jiggly

Pudding has a heavier, more
realistic texture

What flavor is it?

It's vanilla.

- Chrissy, truth or dare?
- Truth

Have you ever been French kissed?

Are you kidding? I don't wanna
get pregnant!

You can't get pregnant from kissing!

I know that, beetle brain, but it's common
knowledge that if you tongue kiss a boy,

he'll automatically think you'll
do the deed with him,

they can't help it, they are driven,
it's the male curse!

And what deed would that be?

You know, planting the seed and
watering the flower

Isn't that how it works? The man takes his
watering can and sprinkles it on the flower

("Knock Three Times" by
Tony Orlando and Dawn)

- I think it's time for a break
- But we haven't ridden that far since lunch

- Come on, Chrissy.
- Fine, go ahead, leave me here.

- Chrissy!
- I don't care but I'm taking a break

Wait, listen, turn it off

It's beautiful

Wow!

- Where did it go?

What?

What?

It's in your hair

Get it out!

I can't, it's ...runny

Chrissy, calm down

Look out below!

Roberta, it's too shallow!

Bombs away!

Where did she go?

Roberta!

Roberta!

Oh my God!

Roberta!

No!

Roberta!

Roberta!

Roberta!

Come on, get her up

She stopped breathing!
Someone's got to give her mouth to mouth

- You do mouth to mouth then CPR!
- Other way around!

Okay!

Oh Roberta.

Well, it's good to know
who your true friends are

- You know, I was gonna do it
- Me too, I really was

Chrissy here is the only one who
is really...

Chrissy!

- Don't you ever do anything like that
to me again, ever! - It was a joke!

That wasn't the first time Roberta
faked her own death. Earlier that year she'd

scared the hell out of us when she jumped
off the roof and pretented she broke her neck

None of us had experienced a loss
like Roberta's and we didn't understand her jokes

But she kept trying to make that funny,
maybe to make it easier for herself.

What was that?

Look, I'm sorry, if it means anything
to you, I really appreciate you was

on that mouth to mouth thing.
You scared me to death

I'm sorry

Roberta, you're my best friend

All right, hooky you got there

Roberta, don't swear

Hey, you guys come here!

- Oh my God!
- What?

- I saw his penis.
- Whose?

- And the balls.
- Whose?

Scott's

Oh my God!

Great, now I'm the only one who's not
seen Scott's thing, that will be topic of conversation
for the rest of the summer

You're forcing me to look.
Chrissy nobody's forcing you to do anything

OK, I'll look, but I wanna to make this
perfectly clear: I'm looking under protest

Yeah, right!

It's not very big

- What so funny?
- It's only big when the guy has a hard-on

- And when that happens, it'll get this big
What's a hard-on?

Doesn't your mother tell you anything?

I'm beginning to think
she's been misinformed

Hey you guys

Let's do it!

("Hitchin' A Ride" by Vanity Fair)

Get ready to make a mad dash

Yeah, you'd better start now
Buzz off, pug head!

No, I'm serious
Get going

This is too easy

Hey Wormers, it's payback time!
Come and get it, suckers!

- Hey, you'd better get those back!
- Yeah, dream on, asshole!

Come on, you guys!

Come on, Chrissy

Al right, joke's over!

Give our clothes back, dammit!

Please!

Come and get them!

Come and get them!

All for one and one for all!

- Come on, Chrissy.
- Hey you guys, wait up

I think I'm allergic to dust.

Nothing happened in April

- Nothing ever happens in Shelby
- I'm kind of like it that way

Nothing

What's wrong?

It's my mum

It was a head-on collision, the driver of
the pickup truck fell asleep at the wheel ...

She was pinned in the car for an hour
and a half before she was rescued

She was fully conscious when
rescue workers attempted to extract

her from the demolished vehicle

She died during the night at the Green
county hospital of massive head injuries
and severe internal bleeding

- I don't understand this, this isn't right
- What do you mean?

It must've been awful for her
A lot of pain

She was very beautiful,
wasn't she?

Like a movie star.

- Hey you guys, I think I found something
- Read it

Funeral services will be held on Saturday
for 12-year old Jonathan Simms and his mother
36-year old Beverly Ann Simms

Due to unexpected and tragic
circumstances involved in deaths, the family
asked the services remain private

That's it, there's nothing else
-What you mean that's it, how did they die?

Wait a minute

Pages have been torn out

Somebody's gone a lot of trouble
to keep Dear Johnny's death a mystery.

("All Right Now" by Free)

Hey

Hey

Are you in the army?

Was

Vietnam?

Was

Did you kill anyone over there?

Not because I wanted to

Did you get shot?

That's a great song

Does it hurt your leg?

Yeah, hurts like hell

That bullet was the best thing
that happened to me

What you mean?

Got me a seat on next plane home

But we were winning, right?

Nobody's winning

Want some?

Thanks. Smoke?
- Yeah. Sure

I love to smoke

Smoking stunts your growth

Smooth

So did you get a Purple Heart?

Yeah

How come you not wear it?

Yeah, it's a huge honor, right?

No

On the news they said the U.S. was
really starting to gain ground over there

Forget about that, OK? Forget what
you heard about it, forget what you saw

Even the people who were over there
lied about what they seen, or done

Doesn't seem that you can
believe in much anymore

You can believe in yourself

If you're lucky

So are you gonna be sticking
around here for a while?

No, I try not to stick around anywhere,
you know what I mean?

- Yeah, sure
Definitely

- Is that an earring you're wearing?
- Yeah

- You're a hippie, aren't you?

You're a trip

My mum says all hippies are sex fiends

I can tell you something that I wish
somebody told me when I was your age

- What's that?
- Your parents aren't always right

No shit!

- It's getting late, I think we
should get going

I guess she's right

Thanks

Bye

See you

Bye

Hey ...

Whatever it is you're looking
for, I hope you find it

Yeah

Peace

- Where's my daddy? - I told you,
honey, he had to go away for a little while

-But you'll be able to see him soon.
-Every other weekend and holidays?

But I want to see him now!

I wish you could honey, but you can't

- Hey Angela, I saw Crazy Pete yesterday
- You kids leave that poor old man alone, you hear me?

Why you dress like that anyway?
Like what?

Like that, it's embarrassing

Anybody home?
Don't move!

Hello!
It's just Grandma

- What's going on?
- Your grandmother is upset because your father
moved out

So? You let her yell at him,
he's the one who left

I know you're in there!
I saw your car in the garage!

Hide!
What?

Hide!

You have to go to him!
I hate this!

Open the damn door!

This is it

The suspicious lack of details surrounding
Dear Johnny's death

led us to the one person we knew could
help us to find out more

Yes?

We need your help

I'm a little blue today, boys

Come on, give her the money

Maybe this will cheer you up

Come on in

I can't believe we are spending
10 tree house dollars on...

We've been contacted by a spirit.
His name is Jonathan Simms -I know

- I feel a strong spiritual presence here.
- For 10 tree house dollars I feel it too

Silence!

The spirits are here and yes,
they wanna talk to you

Okay, I want you to shuffle these twice
and cut them 3 times facing me

Relax your minds and bodies
and be open to his presence

We want to find out
how he died.

Did you see the look on her face?
She was scared

- You guys, we let us into a fake
- She was scared and so were you

But what do we do now?
- The spirits haunt the living for a purpose

Dear Johnny wants us to find out how he died.
You saw the card. He was murdered.

- Maybe he wants us to settle the score
- Come on, this is getting out of hand

We need to talk to someone who is alive
when he died

Like who?

My grandma, she is the oldest
person I know

She has a poker game this afternoon but
she said we can stop by tomorrow morning

Your grandmother plays poker?
She likes to gamble

Oh wait, but I promised my dad
to paint our garage door tomorrow.
I mean come on guys, it's $ 10

Hey Kenny, where's the fire?
Softball game, Kennel's field

Let's go!
It's gonna be all boys

So what are we waiting for?

Come on Roberta, you can do it!

Guys, come

This is for yesterday

- Come on Roberta, you can do it!
- Shut up!

Ignore Roberta, concentrate

Yes!

Come on Roberta, touchdown!

Hello dear
Get lost, nerdo

Who are you kidding?
Girls can't play softball!

What did you say?

I said girls can't play softball

What's she doing?

Roberta, remember you're a lady.

Why don't you go home and
play with your dolls?

The only doll Roberta's got
is a G.I. Joe

Fight!

Enough!

Roberta, look at your hair

You wimp, crazy bitch
Foul mouth!

How does it feel to get the crap
kicked out of you by a girl, huh?

It's too bad your mother's dead, somebody
needs to teach you to act like a girl

Fight!

There you are!

Samantha, I want you to meet
a friend of mine, this is Mr. Kent

Hi Samantha, why, your mom has been
telling me all kinds of great things about you

Says you're a real good kid,
so pleasure

Great pleasure to meet you, little
lady, you look great too, just like your mammy

So Samantha, your mom tells me you're real
interested in science. - Science fiction.

You've ever been to Smithsonian?

Oh, let me tell you that's something
to see

That place is big,
bigger than big

Maybe we might need to plan a trip to
D.C. before school starts, what do you think?

That would be just great!
Wouldn't that just be great, Samantha?

I think we all might have
a pretty good time

My dad's gonna take us there

Well, well

Mr. Kent?
Oh, please call me Bud

- Bug?

- No! Bud, d, b-u-d

Well, Budd, you have a piece of
food stuck in your teeth

Damn it!

It's okay, just hold on..

-How is my....
- Oh, it's gone, it's gone

It's gone? Thanks.

First date jitters

Wow, that's a pretty scarf

Oh thank you, Angela

- Use this.
- Thank you

- I got your chair pretty good there
- It's fine

Samantha?

Samantha!

Love means never having to say
you're sorry

How's the movie?

Tear jerker

How come you are so late?

Do some thinking.

In the summer?

Want to go to the tree house?
Sure

You're not falling through

Who asked you?

See you

Hey!

- You're pretty good. You know?
- Thanks

- I mean not just for a girl, you
know, for a guy - Thanks

- Hey, you want a pop or something?
-Cool, that'd be great

- Roberta?
- What?

Why you fight all the time?

It's just something I do, I guess

Cause, I was wondering..
I think you're a nice girl

I always thought you hated me

So did I

- Roberta?
- What?

Can I kiss you?
- What are you mumbling?

Would it be all right if...
Can I kiss you?

I guess

Great, ready?
You wanna do it now?

Sure, I mean if you want to
Okay

That was great
It's okay

Scott?
Yeah?

If you mention this to anyone, especially your
brothers, I'll beat the shit out of you!

Okay

Truth or dare?

Truth

If you were stranded on a deserted
island with me, Chrissy and Roberta...

and there was nothing to eat whatsoever,
who would you kill for food?

I dispute the question. The odds
that happening are slim and nil

You still have to answer

Then Chrissy, I guess

Why?

Because she'll feed more people

Truth or dare?

Truth

Do you like your parents?

I don't really know my parents, but as
far as I can tell, they are assholes

You know, I believed what the soldier said,
like your parents aren't always being right

I mean just because they're adults
doesn't mean they know shit

-I never thought they did
-I did

- My dad moved out, they're getting a divorce
- But I thought your parents got along

- I lied.
- Why?

I don't know, just wanted a normal family,
you know? Like the Brady Bunch

Well, 6 kids sharing one bathroom
does not sound fun to me

Besides, Micken Carol widowed

- Then the Partridge Family
Shirley Johnson is widow

Buffy and Jody, they are orphans

Kochabelly's father, widower; My Three
Sons, widower; Bonanza, widower

Beverly Hillbillies, widower

You see Sam, there are no perfect families.
It is normal for things to be shitty

I may be normal

But it hurts

All those parents died, Teeny

My dad chose to live

I really miss him.

I'll always be here for you
Thanks

What are you doing?
You love those

When you're 12, without effort
you live in the moment

You don't regret the past
or worry about the future

and at that moment in the tree house,
Teeny filled my heart with hope and comfort

Best friends for life
For life

We better go
Yeah

You know? I heard that in another 10 years,
half the population is gonna be divorced

I don't find it hard to believe

Come on, let's get out of here

- Teeny!
- What?

-It's gone!
- What'd you lose?

My bracelet, it just fell off!

- Well, let's come back in the morning,
it is raining.

We have to find it now!

There it is!

- Look. I don't see it
- It's in there. See?

I'll get it

- Damn!
- It's okay, I can get it

- Be careful!
- I will, hold on

Got it? -Yeah
Watch your head.

There's a lot of stuff down here

Look! A yo-yo.

Good! Hurry up, okay?
It's really starting to pour

- I got it!
- Great, come on, let's get out of here

Okay.

Samantha!

Sam!

Sam!

Sam!

Teeny, give me your hand!

- I slip!
- No!

- Hold on!
- No!

- Sam!
- Help me!

Teeny!

Somebody, help!

I'm coming Sam!

Teeny, help me!

No!

Teeny!

Sam!

Sam!

Okay. It's over

Why are you afraid of me?

It is weird that you come out only at night,
it's kind of scary, you know?

Yeah, well, I don't like to see a lot of people,
I don't think they like to see a lot of me

You get her home, huh?

See you around, Pete

He wouldn't have been here Sam

Tiny and I both knew what would've
happened had he not been there

And on that night we caught a glimpse
of a hero in Crazy Pete

("Sugar Sugar" by The Archies)

Roberta, you missed your spot

Why don't you move your butt
out of your asshole and help us?

You know if I don't eat every few
hours I get nauseous

Wormer alert!
I thought there's something foul

Maybe it's your armpit, lard bite!
Oh your wittiness astounds me!

Come on man, let's get out of here

Ladies

- What's his problem?
- Maybe he's a lard person

Maybe he's not such a creep,
after all

That was the day Roberta
quit taping her boobs

I didn't know you'd bring in the whole
neighborhood. Come on in

Got a whole pitch of fresh
lemonade for you

Sit down, girls

- Samantha, how you're holding on?
- I'm fine grandma

- I've been worried to death about you
- I'm really okay

She's just fine, Mrs. Robertson,
we're taking good care of her

Well, I'm glad to hear it

Let's see now, we have extra company,
1-2-3, so I'll get some glasses and you can
ask me this important question

Sam, what's your grandma so worried about you?
Who knows?

Chrissy, Roberta, Teeny,
and Samantha, and me, bottoms up!

How is it?
It's great

It's refreshing.

Grandma, do you remember a little
boy our age and his mother who died here

in 1945, Jonathan and Beverly Ann Simms?
We were just wondering how they died

Did something terrible happen to them?
Yes

But it's a kind of thing you don't want to
hear about. -Please we wanna know

You'll have nightmares for weeks
Come on Mrs. Albertson, tell us

Yeah, come on grandma, what happened?

It took me a long time to forget that
terrible tragedy, Samantha, I don't want that up again

You're just like your grandpa,
all that junk piled in the attic

And a weird fascination, curious
about everything that went on in this town

Oh God, dear Lord

Drink up everyone! I'd love to chat,
but got a big bingo tournament

You wanna make sure I get some good
card this time. Come on, get out

Your keys
Hurry everbody, let's go

Harriett, up, we're gonna
be late

Bye, grandma

Bye, Mrs. Albertson

You come and see me again soon, Samantha
Okay

They must love bingo

We really should hurry up, we
could get in trouble for this

- Come on, Chrissy
- Don't drop me

Okay, on three!
Pull 1 ... 2 ... 3!

I know grandpa has scraps
somewhere

Find anything?
Not yet.

Sam, I think I found something.

Those are my parents

They make a great couple
Yeah

Jackpot!

They were murdered

Beverly Ann Simms and her 12 year old son
Jonathan were found brutally murdered..

late Friday night, their bodies
were discovered by Peter Simms...

After leaving his car at a bar around
midnight he entered his house...

To find his wife and son
had been shot to death

The sheriff's department believes the burglar
was caught off-guard and killed the two witnesses..

when they apparently woke from their
sleep, they've no clues as to a suspect.

The sheriff has every reason to believe
that the burglar was probably just passing
through and has left the area

It's an editorial from my grandfather
to the paper

It appears to be, isn't that all, that's the
knowledge we gained from the brutal deaths of
Jonathan and Bevery Ann Simms...

if we thought Shelby was a safe sleepy town,
sheltered from the violence of the outside world...

we were deceived.

Shelby is a safe town, if something
like this could've happened here,

think how bad it must be out there

Roberta, it's okay

No, it's not okay! Why did they have
to die? Why did she have to die?

My dad lied to me, said these beautiful angels
moved to earth and carried her away

Before she's started to feel any pain

Why did she have to die?
Why he lied to me?

She was all I have left

It's not all you have left.

All I can count on is you guys

- I know how you feel.
- What do you mean?

- My dad moved out, they are
getting a divorce. - A divorce?

I'm sorry, Sam

Screw them. You guys have us

I say we make a pact, here and now.
We're here for each other always
no matter what happens in life ...

If Teeny goes off to Hollywood or
I marry a rich doctor, we'll remember
this day and this pact

whenever we need a friend
we're here for each other, we can
count on it, always, no matter what

It's a pact

- All for one.
- And one for all.

Now more than ever we need to
put Dear Johnny to rest

-So are you ready?
-Ready

We brought Dear Johnny back from the
death, and it's up to us to send him home

Close your eyes

Guide us in our pursuit of the spirit world,
keep our circle safe from those who
promote evil and seek to harm

Dear Johnny, we know you and your
mother were brutally murdered ...

Did you came back to tell us who did it?
We're here to help you rest in peace, Johnny.
We're listening

He's here

Don't break the circle.

Tell us who did it, Johnny,
we're here to help

Holy Molly!

-That's the murderer!
- Please don't hurt us!

Hey, this isn't a playground,
it's a cemetery

And you kids should have a litte respect
for the dead

- Hey, we have a lot of respect for the dead,
okay? -Yeah, that's why we're here

- We resurrected Dear Johnny from the grave
-Oh really?

How do you think his tombstone
got cracked on the middle?

I.. knocked it over with my tractor

- You did?
- Yeah, a-ha, it's not easy moving around
all these headstones

I'm not doing anymore of these dumb
seances, they are a waste of time

I can't believe how we did it

- What about the tarot cards, then?
- Get over it

I knew at that moment our days
of playing make-believe were over

As we grow older it becomes difficult
just to believe

It's not that we don't want to, but
too much has happened that we can't

Let's go

Hey look, it's Crazy Pete

Let's leave him alone, okay?

- What's wrong?
- I forgot something in the cemetery, I'll catch up

- You want me to come with you?
- No, I'll be okay

Pete?

You're Peter Simms?

They were my family.

It's a terrible thing that happened to
them, I'm sorry

For the longest time I thought I
could've stop him, if I would've been home
instead of down that bar

But you were there for me

I lost many years, afraid to face people,
mostly afraid to face myself

I'm scared too

- What's your name?
- Samantha

Well, Samantha, things will happen
in your life that you can't stop...

but that's no reason to shut out the world,
there's a purpose for the good
and for the bad

He gave me the only gift he could, the
lesson that would've taken a lifetime to learn

And although I understood the importance
of his words, it's only now, looking back,
that I understand their meaning

Rest in peace, Dear Johnny

- Do I look better with this?
- Yeah, right.

We all used to try so hard to fit in
we wanted to look exactly alike,
do all the same things,

Practically be the same people,
and when we weren't looking, that
changed, the tree house was supposed

to bring us more independence, but what
the summer actually brought was
independence from each other

Samantha!

Samantha!

Samantha!

Samantha!

- What?
- Your car's blocking my jeep

- Oh shit!
- It's coming, I think I saw its head

- Did you see its head?
- You can see its head?

You didn't see its head

- I'll get the keys.
-No, forget the keys, take the limo

-The limo?
- Take the limo.

We'll take your limo, you get the
bags, call Morton

- Ok.
- No, wait, don't leave me alone.

Get the car before another
of those bits

- How you doing?
- Hi

- Get out, I need your car
- Pardon me?

I have a pregnant lady here and I
have to get her to the hospital

No problem, tell me where it is
and I'll get you there in a jiffy

Well, jiffy is not good enough

Move out, bastard!

See?

Thank you very much.

-Just tell him his wife's getting a baby.
-Have a nice day.

Go!

-This is pretty good suspension!
-Sorry!

Morton is in the middle of a root canal
but he'll meet us at the hospital

There is cool room back here

- You should be doing this?
- There is a VCR... I can't believe there is a VCR

- Roberta, there's a VCR in here!
- Yeah, does it have a remote?

-Okay, enough screaming, thank you
Breathe, breathe!

- Chrissy, your uncle!
- Oh shit!

No swearing in front of my baby

Shiiit!

Chrissy you're gonna have to push
Come on Chrissy, push

I changed my mind and want a drug

- It's too late for that.
- Give me the drugs or I'll kill you!

- Give her the drugs, just give her the drugs!
- Hey, you're gonna have to calm down, all right?

Now push, Chris, push!

Come on, I can see the head, I see the head

You really can see its little head

- Is it supposed to look like that?
- Yes, Chris you're doing great

- Is it a boy or a girl?
- I don't know, so far it's just a head

All right, we're almost there,
one more big one, Chris, you can do it!

Here comes the big one, Chrissy,
push, we're almost there

You're almost there, one more
big one, Chris, come on!

I want it out, get it out!
- Get it out of her!

It's a girl, a beautiful baby girl

My baby.

- Am I too late?
- No Morton, get your baby

- Hello, dear
- We have a baby girl

Thanks.

You're welcome.

- See?
- She really is beautiful

- You know, kinda looks like a Russian limo!
- Very funny, Roberta!

Chrissy ... truth or dare?

- Truth
- Are you happy?

Yes! I'm so happy I feel like just
bust and shoot happiness all over everywhere

- Roberta, truth or dare?
- Truth

Just how big are your boobs now?

- Well, just how big are your boobs?
- 36 D and worth every penny.

- D? Oh no.
- Sam, truth or dare?

- Truth
- Are you happy?

Not really, but I just figure that it's
normal for things to be shitty

Look, I got A+ on career day, I must've
missed that class on personal relationships

Maybe you should integate color into
your wardrobe, men love pastels on a woman

It's not about pastels or men,
it's about me

What are you talking about Sam?

I've had how many relationships and how
many years, and I ran from every one of them

which doesn't make it easy
to get to that next level

- The intimacy level
Well, if you don't fall in love, you can't get hurt

But it is lonely all by yourself

Yeah, it is

Hey, you guys remember that summer with
Crazy Pete? -God, we loved a mystery, didn't we?

- Did we have fun that summer or what?
-Yeah, it was the best.

You know I used to send Crazy Pete a
Christmas card every year with some cash

They came back last year

Yeah, he died

You know, I never told you guys this,
but Pete was Dear Johnny's father

- What?
- He was?

How did you know that?

Do you remember our last seance in
the cemetery? When I'm back Pete was there
putting flowers on Johnny's grave

He said something that didn't mean
as much then as it does now

He told me that things are happening in
life which you can't stop, but it wasn't a
reason to shut out the world.

I realized that I've been so
afraid of the bad things that

that I missed the good

You know I didn't wanna come
back here

But I'm really glad I did

I've forgotten how much it helped
to have you guys as friends

We're really lucky to have this place,
and each other

Boy, there is a part of me that
would like just to stay here forever

I wouldn't go that far

- But it would be nice to come back
and visit more often

I agree

Let's make a pact

("Now And Then" by Susanna Hoffs)

- All for one.
- And one for all.

Come on!

You can run from the disappointments
to try to forget...

But it's only when you embrace your
past that you truly move forward

Maybe Thomas Wolf never got to go
home again

But I found my way there,
and I'm glad I did
