All language subtitles for Lawn Dogs (John Duigan, 1997).english

Once upon a time,

in a far-off land,

lived a girl
and her mother and father.

Their village was surrounded
by a high wall.

Outside the wall was the forest,

home of Baba Yaga, the witch.

Baba Yaga had iron teeth

that could bite through trees.

His legs were like chicken legs,

and he ate little girls
for dinner.

But inside the wall,

the girl was safe.

Stick 'em up, injun.

Try the Madison house first.

Then the Langers.

Skip the Cutcheners.
They're in Rhode Island.

That's the Laughlins.

The Cutcheners are in town.

Don't forget to ring
3 or 4 times

the Neils in Birchgrove Court.

Wife is almost deaf.

And on the school board.

Everyone will get a taste

of the Stockards.

Yum yum.

These are ready.

Billy! Snack time!

Don't lose the money you get.

Everyone loves that smile.
Remember.

Your photo will be
in the papers.

If she sells the most bags.

Oh, she will.

She's the perfect
little saleswoman.

Make a good impression, honey.

We're still the new kids
on the block.

Off to work we go.

Don't fiddle with your socks.

They're just new.

Be careful on the roads.

Watch for cars.
Look left and right.

Now get going.

Whatever you do,

don't go outside
the gate, sweetheart.

Daddy loves you.

Devon Stockard.

Now, there's a girl who's
out to conquer the world.

You want me to buy a bag
of those cookies from you?

You're not on my list.

Can I help you?

Yeah. I finished your lawn, sir.

Already?

I did a good job.
Shrubs, back, and sides.

Got all the weeds, sir.

Thank you.

Sir, you think I could use
your bathroom facilities?

Guess not.

Ahh.

Can I give you some help, son?

Oh, I can get it, thanks.

Just tell me when.

Just a minute.

Ok.

Nothing.

All right, try it again.

Get in.

Lots of lawns.

Business must be good.

Well, I'm not complaining.

You live close by here?

Not that close by.

Ha.

Me either.

What you got in that cooler?

Oh. Soda pop.

Shit. I was hoping
it was ice-cold beer.

It's hotter than
a cat's crotch today,

isn't it?

Yeah.

And I stink. I need a shower.

I used to mow lawns
when I was a kid.

After a while,

it gets to be there's
nothing in the world

but lawns. Green lawns.

And the best damn thing
about lawns is...

They always grow back.

Let's not be in here past 5:00

unless you clear it
with me first.

He's insane. No doubt about it.

I wonder if he's gonna
be here next Friday.

Come on.

Show's over.

At the edge
of a big, dark forest,

lived a girl
and her mother and father.

One day, her mother said, "girl,

"I shall make you
a batch of cookies,

and you must go
and sell them in the forest."

Now, the girl was not stupid.

She knew they were trying
to get rid of her.

But her father said,
"don't argue,"

so she went.

The girl walked on

till she came to
a clearing in the forest.

In the middle of the clearing,

there was a hut

and a very skinny dog.

The dog was starving.

The girl said to the dog,
"you look hungry."

So she fed it.

Baba Yaga's house.

Oh.

Hello.

I'm Devon Tompkins Stockard,

young ranger.

I'm selling thumbprint cookies.

All proceeds

go to the Pine Cone
Charity House

of McCade County.

Is that a '65 Ford?

The '65 f-100

is the best motor
Ford ever made.

Is it 3 on a tree?

Yeah.

My uncle had a truck like that.

He was Russian...

From Indiana.

Born on the wrong side
of the train.

Wrong side of the tracks.

Right.

He said the mounts were
going bad on the truck,

so one night he drove it
into spoon river

and never drove back out.

What a shame.

That's what my aunt said.

You can rebuild them mounts.

I did.

Can you take me
for a ride in it?

I don't want to buy any...

Cookies.

This is private property.

Go home.

4 bags?

Does that include
the 2 that we bought?

You'll have to do
better than that.

How far did you get
down the list?

It all depends on your face.

It's not what you got
in the bags they want to buy.

It's your happy face.

The ones that weren't home,
try tomorrow.

Don't forget to say
it's for the charity house.

Be a shame if some other girl
got her picture in the paper.

You'll do better
tomorrow, sweetheart.

Give me a kiss.

Good night, sweetheart.

Mmm.

I'll be up in a little while.

I changed your
doctor's appointment

for day after tomorrow,

9:30 A.M.

I'd like to see her
happy for a change.

She's going through a stage.

It's her age.

Yeah, but all we get
is mope and complain.

Imagine what she'll be like
in a few years.

She hardly complains.

She could at least
pretend to be happy.

When I was a kid,

that's what you did
for your parents.

We've only been settled
for a couple of months.

Give it time.

She's met that one girl. Donna?

Oh, I feel sorry
for that Donna kid's father.

Imagine having a... ow...

Daughter with a face
like a possum.

She's got a lovely voice.

If I'm gonna have a voice,
we've gotta start pushing.

Elections for the county board
are this fall.

That will be 4 boards
you're going after.

You'll have to be careful

you don't lose your own voice.

If I want a real say
in this county,

in this suburb right here
where we live,

then I've got to become
the board man...

The model
of citizen involvement.

Isn't that why
we moved back here?

Awoo!

Awoo!

I want us all to make
a home here, Dev.

I want you to find
lots of new friends.

Popular girl is never bored.

Or boring.

Look, honey...

This is the new Dev.

Right here.

You don't have to tell
your new friends

anything about the old Dev

you don't want to.

And the new Devon,

she's raring to go, isn't she?

I love you, honey.

The world's at your feet,

sweetheart.

Thanks, dad.

Aah!

Halt, squaw!

You'd be doing
the community a favor.

Bang.

Hello, Mrs. Stockard.

Hello, Brett.

You should call

spray green lawn service.

They'll have those weeds out
in a couple of hours.

I like to work up
a little sweat.

If you leave the root in,
it'll grow back.

Just ripping the heads off
is more fun.

Would you like to lend a hand?

And do something useful
this summer?

Sounds criminal to me.

You should both
have summer jobs,

keep your minds sharp.

If we had jobs,
who'd help you weed?

I'll just let you two
finish up here, huh?

Woman, giggling: Stop it.

No. Stop.

Stop it.

Stop it!

Grr.

Mmm.

What was that?

Hey,

isn't that my belt?

Found it on the dresser.

But how am I supposed
to keep my pants up?

You'll think of something.

Hey, uh, Patty.

You sure you don't want
that ride? Country club?

Tables, tennis courts?

No, thanks. I can make it.

And it's Pam.

Pam Gregory.

See you, trailer man.

Hey, I'm not always
gonna live in a soup can.

Next year, I'm gonna be
at the, uh...

White house.

Baba Yaga went inside,

put a huge kettle on to boil.

The dog told the girl to run

'cause Baba Yaga
was going to cook her.

But the girl knew

she could never outrun
Baba Yaga bony legs.

When they sent the girl
into the forest,

she was kind to the things
she found.

She found a tree and
dressed it up in ribbons.

Trees don't give a shit
about people.

Was that your girlfriend?

Look, I got some lawns
to take care of,

so...

Can you climb a tree?

I'd climb it myself,

but I'm not supposed to strain.

I'm telling you to leave.

Ok, I'll leave...

But only if you help me hang
the rest of these ribbons.

I don't like ribbons,

and I got me a hangover.

You know, I almost died.

Twice.

Climbing a tree?

No.

I almost died, too.

How?

Shotgun.

You?

It's a lemon... my heart.

You know how yours goes
dee-dum, dee-dum, dee-dum?

Yeah.

Mine goes dee-dee-dum,
dee-dee-dum, dee-dee-dum.

So are you dying or what?

Not anymore.

They put in an extra
pumping station.

Mmm. Nice.

Can I see your scar?

It's ugly.

Cool.

Don't you have any friends
your age?

Kids you can hang out with
and stuff?

I don't like kids.

They smell like TV.

And they talk too fast.

Higher. Go higher.

Shit!

Ohh...

Aah!

Ohhh!

Hey! I could be dying over here.

Is your heart going
diddy-dum, diddy-dum,

diddy-dum?

Something like that.

Hey, come here.

Get me a beer out of my truck.

It's in the cooler.

And the cigarettes
are on the dash.

Beep beep!

Ohhhh!

Ohh.

Mmm.

Where'd you get shot?

In the gut.

By a robber?

Look, I have to do 3,
maybe 4 lawns.

You're from Camelot, right?

Camelot Gardens. Yup.

Over the hills and far away.

It's better
if I let you off here.

Yeah, I know.

We're told
by other U.S. officials

that this was a clear desire
on the part of the U.S...

Tracker.

To try to embarrass
Saddam Hussein.

Be careful, Devon.

My dog doesn't like kids.

That would be
a further infringement...

Clare! People are getting
hungry out here, dear.

Tracker.

Tracker.

Leave the dog be, honey.

Zone operations with impunity.

Would you go tell her

we're about ready for the salad?

All right.

He is now in the oval office.

We're told he has
a brief statement.

He will make that statement...

They need the salad,
Mrs. Stockard.

Yes, well...

I should think we could have
that ready in about 4 minutes.

What do you say?

Yes.

The salade est arrivé.

Hey.

Oh, hello.

Can I help you?

I finished your lawn, sir.

I did the trimming as well,
and I blew the...

Oh, yes.

We heard you loud and clear.

Worked up an appetite, son?

Oh.

Devon, throw a couple
of hot dogs on the grill

for this young man.

Oh, no, thank you, sir,
but I better...

I better get back to work.

Nonsense. You go take
a seat over there.

screwed you last night?

Now, tell me that isn't true.

What could you and her
possibly have in common?

Ah, Brett, putting your

Yes, I am.

So what you gonna be

Landscape designer?

Conservationist?

Hey, which colleges

Real charmer, isn't he?

What about computer design?

That's a solid choice.

K-County School.

Sean Taurus.

Third grade, remember?

No.

I was only there a few months.

My parents pulled me out
and put me in private.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, your dad
drove that blue BMW.

Did he?

I don't remember.

I remember.
It was the only new car

in the school
parking lot that winter.

We were friends, right?

No. We was just
in the same class.

You should know better

than to come to a party
dressed like shit.

In third grade,
you had better taste.

My bet is you could have
made a good surgeon.

Like your daddy?

You've got the hands for it.

Go ahead,

make my day.

Bah!

Oh.

Daddy's gun, huh?

That's pretty dangerous.

Hmm.

You ever wonder...

What one of these
might feel like...

Going in?

You smell like your mom.

Get out!

Hey.

Shh.

Mom.

Hmm?

Tracy asked me if I
could spend the night.

Tracy who?

Tracy Keller.

You know, I met her
at the picnic last week.

You liked her parents.

Her dad's with
the federal security bank.

Is he? Hmm.

All right, but later on.

First, you need to get the dolls

out of the bath

and their arms out of the sink.

Ok.

See? What did I tell you?

She's made a friend already.

Just a matter of time.

Don't wait.

Can't I come in with you?

No. I'll look like a kid, ok?

All right.

I'll call you in a few hours.

Try to have fun, sweetheart.

Have a nice evening.

I'd give you a ride home,

but my tank's on empty.

I'm not surprised.

I'd rather bike.
It's just up the road.

Hey, Pam, when are you
gonna give me your number?

What do you need my number for?

You haven't got a phone.

No. But I got a quarter.

Lucky man.

So I'll see you around?

Right, sure.
Same time next week?

Um, maybe.

My schedule's kind of wacky,

but, um, I'll
drop by when I can.

Hey, I want to be
introduced to your mother...

And your father...

Any dogs, cats,
or canaries you live with.

Right.

I'll see you around.

I'm sure they'd love to meet me.

Hi.

What did it feel like
when you got shot?

What it's like getting shot.

Could you feel the bullet go in?

Don't remember.

I would have remembered
if it happened to me.

Ow!

Shit.

Got any whiskey?

It stings, but it
kills the germs.

No.

You're supposed to suck
the poison out, or you die.

What poison?

I read in a book on snakes.

A snake didn't bite me.

Then the next time one does,

you'll know what to do.

I'm not afraid of blood.

Every time they opened me up,

I lost a bathtubful.

How much blood did you
lose when you got shot?

I don't know.

Did you nearly die?

Yeah. I guess I did.

We was drinking,
me and Jeff, and we...

Run out of beer, pull
over at the 5 store,

and there's these 3 j-town cops

slurping on doughnuts
and coffee.

I know them, and they
sure know me, so...

I'm a-paying for my 12 of bud,

and I turn to the 3 of them,

and I let out this killer burp.

I mean, this son of a bitch
was loud as a shotgun.

Kind of ruined
their snack, I guess.

So 5 minutes later,
they pull us over.

Jeff gets scared.
He makes a run for it.

So now they think we
got something to hide.

And they're whacking me
with their sticks

until finally I was able
to punch one of them,

and I busted his nose,
and his buddy...

Aims his shotgun at me.

Bang bang.

You're dead.

Only I wasn't.

Wow.

What happened to Jeff?

Mmm.

Jeff was ok.

He got, uh...

3 months. I got 6.

Boy, I tell you.

People say you're trash.

Yeah. I guess they do.

I wouldn't like that.

Well, you get used to it.

My father says
if everyone worked hard,

there wouldn't be
any poor people.

You're a poor person,
aren't you?

He says that anyone
who works hard can be rich,

just like him.

Sounds like you got
a smart daddy.

Trash is something you put
a lid on 'cause it stinks.

You don't smell that bad.

That makes my day.

The way I see it, you got
people who own lawns,

and you got people who mow them.

And they're never
the same people.

Ok, it's time for you
to get on home.

I told my mom I'd spend
the night at Tracy Keller's.

Do you know Tracy Keller?

No.

Neither do I.

Wait a minute.

So where do I sleep?

Go home.

No.

Get out of here.

Just go.

What the hell you want from me?

What?

Huh?

What?

Is that what you want?

You can have it.

Anything you want here,
it's yours. Take it.

Ok?

What's with you?

You curious? You just curious?

You got all that out there.

Everything out there is yours.

There's nothing here
for you, you understand?

Go home.

Go home.

Know where we can find
2 live chickens?

Why don't we just drive
to the supermarket?

They have to be fresh.

The ones at the supermarket
have been frozen for years.

Maybe longer.

You know,

stealing livestock's
a criminal offence.

We could go to jail.

We won't be stealing them.

We'll just be borrowing them.

And then we'll change
our minds and eat them.

Trust me.

Look, a chicken walk.

Uhh.

Shh.

They're trying to sleep.

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Trent!

Trent, I caught one.

Looks like your luck's
changed, buddy.

Just a few more minutes
till the end of your life.

Um, Tracy's fine.

We're having chicken for dinner.

Well, um...

Her mom can't come
to the phone right now.

She's having a bath.

Got to go, mom.

Tracy's waving at me.

See ya. Love you.

Bye.

Do you think if we'd met
hundreds of years ago,

we'd still have
ended up as friends?

We're not friends.

We're hunters.

So who's gonna kill the meat?

You do yours,
and then I'll do mine.

Mmm. Do you know how?

Not yet.

If you promise never to
pull this one on me again,

I'll let you sleep over.

What you think your dad
would do if he found out?

He'd cut off my feet.

That's right.

And then he'd tie you
to a stake and burn you.

Baba Yaga bony legs,

his teeth made of steel,

and he can bite through trees,

and his legs are
like chicken legs.

Hey, who is this Baba Yaga?

A witch who lives in a forest.

No, I mean, what's this
monster stand for?

The moral of the story?

Yeah.

For whatever's bad, I guess.

Sometimes when it's dark,

Baba Yaga goes out into the field,

and a wild dog
comes to meet him.

And then a big, scary wind
starts to blow and blow.

Aieeee-ooooh!

Ay-ooooh!

Then Baba Yaga kills the dog
with his bare hands

and eats it.

Then Baba Yaga sings and dances,

his belly all full
of dog meat and blood.

♪♪ Ay aiee ay ♪♪

♪♪ ay ay aiee ay ♪♪

♪♪ aiee aiee aiee ay ♪♪

Do you know how the girl
escapes from Baba Yaga?

No.

A starving dog she fed

gives her a magic comb
and embroidered towel.

And the girl runs away
through the forest.

And when Baba Yaga almost has her,

the girl throws down the towel,

and a great river springs up.

And Baba Yaga can't cross

till he drives his cows
to drink up all the water.

Look, I got to get up early, ok?

When Baba Yaga's at her heels,

the girl throws down the comb,

then a great forest
springs up behind her.

The end, ok?

That's the third one

they got on your
street this week.

Someone is making fools of us.

I've been watching the lamps
in this neighborhood

at all hours, all hours.

I don't like it one bit.
We're insecure.

Aah!

Let's see some blood
on the sand!

Go on, bring the second squad!

Go on!

It won't take all day, will it?

It'll take as long as it takes.

Can I come?

I can help you.

I'll drop you off at the gate.

I can pull weeds.

No. But I'll make you a deal.

We can be friends

if you can keep it a secret.

What's wrong with you
and me being friends?

Well, for one thing,

I'm a country bumpkin, right?

I was born suckin'
on a bottle of rotgut,

and I'm a piss-poor,
retarded son of a bitch.

Do anything for a buck.

I slobber, and I spit.

And I...

Hey!

Fart. Pfft!

Put me down.

And I eat little
princesses like you

for breakfast! Arrgh!

I'm not a princess.

No. Well, I'm still piss-poor.

Do you want me
to feel sorry for you?

Oh. I don't know.

Well, you can forget it.

Polish my golden slipper.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll polish it so shiny,
I can see my face in it.

Yeah!

Yee-haw!

What do you want to be
when you grow up?

When I grow up?

I don't know.
I don't think about it.

Well, think about it.

Uh...

When I grow up...

Oh, I don't know.
I just want to be gone.

You know? Away from here.

And one day,

I'm gonna save up enough
money to do that, too,

and I'm gonna
put on a clean shirt

and a new pair of socks,

and I'm just gonna
walk out of this life.

I like how it sounds.

How what sounds?

Trent and Devon,
Devon and Trent.

Bullshit.

Trent and Devon,
Devon and Trent.

When I was a kid,

mom and my old man
took me fishing here.

In those days,
you could catch 5 or...

6 big catfish. Big as your arm.

Then one night,

well, I just let
the 2 of them fish,

and then I walk a ways
down the bank,

and I take my shorts off,

and I plop myself
down on the sand

in my bare ass,

and I piss.

Yuck.

No! No!

There's nothing like the day

cooling all around you,

and you're sittin' in warm piss

with the river floating by.

Yuck again.

Yuck again?

I was a kid.

Ok?

What you piss in

is yours for life.

No. He just did it.

You mean he forced
his hand up your shirt?

Hmm. Is that all?

Nothing else?

I ran away.

Good for you.

That's my girl.

I had a good chat with
Brett's dad at the barbecue.

He's vice president
of Maxitel Kentucky.

He told me he had a wild one
on his hands with that boy.

He was just tickling me.

Oh, honey, why didn't you
say so in the first place?

He was just playing.

Well, then he didn't
mean any harm, Dev.

You gave us a scare.

Can I be excused?

I don't feel well.

Do you think Brett
really upset her?

She's just growing up.

Well, she has her last
doctor's appointment

on Friday.

I still think

we should look into some
plastic surgery options.

She doesn't want it,
at least, not for now.

She'll want it
when she starts dating.

In a few years,

if a boy like Brett
feels that in the dark,

they won't be back for more.

What a waste.

The guy just keeps on mowing.

Just mows and mows like...

Like it'll make a difference
in the world.

That man there isn't
just mowing lawns.

He's got a plan.

First our lawns, then our women.

He's just waiting
to make his move.

Jesus, Brett. That guy
really gets under your skin,

doesn't he?

How about we go to the mall

and pick up some fresh sound?

This stuff is stale.

Oh, looks like we're
running over Mexico there.

El Salvador, estúpido!

Viva México!

Cortés lives, burrito breath!

That was a smart move, kid.

Your go.

That move, my friend,

just cost you
another arm and a leg.

All right, one more.

But don't get too smart,
doll face.

If you lose this time,

it will cost you your head.

Can I bring him

Why would you do that?

Because it's hot.

Well, that would be considerate.

Oh, not one of

There's a glass under the sink.

I'm Theresa hall

6 Kentucky businesses
are preparing

for an overseas trade mission.

Officials with the Kentucky
world trade center...

Hey, what's this? You got
something on your dress.

Hey, hey.

Whoa.

Hey. Trent, Trent.

Hey, stop it.

Hey. Hey, stop it.

Hey, Trent. Trent, come on.

Come on.

Come on, stop it.
What are you doing?

Come here. I want to
show you something.

Uhh.

Wow.

Mmm.

Where'd you get it?

Almost ran over it
with the mower.

Turtle spaghetti.

Ew.

He'll eat lettuce.

Devon.

Oh. I got to go.

Ok.

Bye.

Thanks.

Uhh! Oh!

Don't bite me.

Hey, boy.

What the hell?

That son of a bitch.

What if he didn't take the cds?

He took 'em.

Who do you think's been
taking the street lamps?

What if it's his only mower?

They always got a spare.

Come on, let's go.

He just gave me a turtle, mom.

Oh, people don't
just give away turtles.

Has he spoken to you before?

Yes.

When?

Listen to me, sweetheart.

I'd rather you didn't
talk to him anymore.

People don't
just give you things

without wanting
something in return.

The next thing you know,

he'll be asking
your father for a job.

He's got a job.

There's probably
something wrong with it.

Looks like you got some
sugar in your gas tank.

Now, how did you manage that?

Sugar will ruin
a motor for sure.

Just a minute there, son.

I got a call from a woman
that lives around here.

She said you gave
her daughter a turtle.

Is that right?

Yeah. I gave a kid a turtle.

Now, why'd you go
and do a thing like that?

Look, I like turtles.

I used to go a-huntin' 'em
back up Harold's Creek

when I was a kid, but...

Folks are nervous these days.

It'd be best
if you kept to yourself

when you're working around here.

How's it going?

Mind if I get by here?

Hey. I've been meaning
to talk to you.

It's about this lawn
my grandmother has.

Only problem is
it's on her face.

Think you can handle it?

That's a nice mower.

How's that running for you?

Ok, now, uh...

Get that car out of my way.

What's the rush?

We just got something we
need to work out is all.

Boy, look at this.

This is ancient.

I'll bet you could sell this
for an antique, huh?

Don't touch it.

Brett.

Put it back.

What's it feel like to play
with a 4-foot-long vibrator

all day, huh?

Hey, Sean,

let's trim some weeds.

If you took the music,
just give it back.

There'll be no trouble.

You owe us 4 cds, river rat.

What'd you do,
you sell them already?

What the hell
are you talking about?

This is bullshit!
You want some of this?

Brett!

I'll cut you up, bitch!

Goddamn it, Brett!

What are you, crazy?

You're bleedin'.

What you want from me?

Hmm?

Well, what have you
got to offer?

Get this fuckin' dog off of me!

The punk bit me.

Move my car.

Huh?

Move it, damn it!

Well...

I could sell the truck...

To get a new mower,

but then how am I going
to get the mower around?

I could sell the chain saw,

and that might bring me enough

to buy a half-assed mower,

but then I'm going to be
mowing with a piece of shit,

and I'm going to be
out of a chain saw...

To do tree work.

So...

You know what?

Just fuck the whole thing.

Fuck it.

Where are we going?

Trent?

Ohh.

Want to come in?

Hey, mama.

Hey.

Hey, give me some sugar.

What happened to your face?

Oh, it's nothing.
I just scraped it.

What's this?

Oh, I cut myself
with the weed eater.

You want me to get you
a new bandage?

No, it's... don't worry about it.

This is Devon, mama.

Oh.

Well, nice to meet you, Devon.

You look tired.

Well...

Your daddy could keep
the whole county awake

with his wheezing and kicking.

He's out back.

Yeah?

You two look hot.

You want some iced tea?

Well, I do.

Get us a couple of glasses
out of the cupboard, honey.

Get the nice ones...

The horse ones

for a change.

I hope you like it sweet.

Trent's daddy
likes it real sweet.

There you go.

Well, now.

How are you, dad?

Well...

I'm still here.

I lost a mower today.

What, stolen?

No. Some kids put sugar
in the motor.

Well, why would they do that?

Because they like me.

Well, if you're worried
about us...

Is that why you come here?

Hey, you know we do
just fine on the pension.

What you send us is a treat...

Something extra.

So we'll do without the extras.

Hell, I can't bowl
no more anyways.

Sure, you can.

Now, listen...

No. Don't worry about it.

Hey, it's not so bad.

No. No.

Not exactly.

It's more like yours goes...

dee-dum, dee-dum, dee-dum,

and mine goes...

Diddy-dum, diddy-dum, diddy-dum.

I picked these up
during my years in Korea.

Lots of guys
would sleep with them

under their pillows at night.

And when a guy didn't come back,

well, I got his flag.

Take them.

No. I don't want them.

No. I want you to have them.

I don't want them.

I don't want them, dad.

God damn it, accept a gift!

I don't want them
around the house no more.

I can't bring myself
to throw them away.

Just when are you going to die

and get it over with, dad?

You've been doing it
for years now.

It takes a while to die.

You think I don't know that?

You think I don't know?

You and your fucking flags!

I don't want them.

Ok? Send them
to whatever bastards

send you your pension!

This one was always
my favorite back then.

Here.

Feel how soft it is.

Whose was this one?

It was mine.

Why is your father dying?

Is it because of the Koreans?

Did they torture him?

The Koreans didn't
fuck up my old man.

It was the canned cheese...

The government rations
the soldiers got.

The cans had some sort
of bacteria in them, see?

Of course, the government
still denies it.

It gets inside you.

It lives in your lungs.
It eats them up

bit by bit.

He had one lung cut out...

Some years back.

He's got half of one left.

You ever wonder how it'd be

Yeah, I did.

Then I'll show you.

Whoa. No, no, stop that.

Aw, Jesus.

I want to.

Well, I don't want you to.

You're not old enough.

It's not my tits I want
to show you, stupid.

Ok, I'm ready.

Come on, look.

Goddamn.

My dad can hardly look at it.

He says it gives him
the cold shivers.

Touch it.

No. No, thanks.

Go on.

See?

Huh.

That's cool.

Now I get to see yours.

Fair is fair.

Mine's bigger.

Yeah.

Can I touch it?

It's tracker.

He's loose.

Let's catch him.

Tracker!

Come here, boy!

Tracker!

Stay in the car.

But he's hurt.

I said stay in the car.

If he's hurt,
we'll take care of him.

Is he all right?

No...

He's not. He's hurt bad.

We'll take him to the vet.

I want you to cover
your eyes, ok, buddy?

Why?

God damn it, I said
cover your eyes.

Devon?

Devon, what happened?

Devon, what is it?

Devon?

Oh, my god.

I said I don't know!

Just come home.

Did somebody hurt you, honey?

He didn't hurt me.

Who didn't?

Trent.

Oh, my god.

Trent?

The man who mows our lawns...

The one who gave her the turtle.

Tell me about Trent, honey.

Did he touch you?

No one's going to
blame you, sweetheart.

I'll call Nash.

Christ.

Devon,

this is important.

Did Trent touch you in any way?

Yes...

But it was only because...

I'll kill the punk.

Where did he touch you, honey?

Show me where.

I let him see...

My...

He touched my...

Take your time, sweetheart.

We're listening.

He touched my scar.

Oh, Christ.

He thought it was cool.

And I touched him, too,

where he was shot.

We were friends.

Secret friends.

Oh, god.

But then he killed the dog.

I hate him.

Was it yours?

Yeah.

You know where he lives?

I'll, by god, find out.

He's got to be just up the road.

All right, you better stay
here with Mrs. Stockard.

You stay with me, sweetheart.

Dad...

I know where he lives.

We'll try further up.

Right.

That was a big help.

Is this the road?

Bingo.

Stay in the car, Dev!

I warned you, Mr. burns.

This here's private property.

No. This is state property,

and you and that tin can
are trespassing.

What you want?

We're looking for a dog.

You seen one?

You ain't no real cop.
I don't have to talk to you.

A big dog.

Doberman.

Wore a chain-link collar.

This here is his owner.

I'll tell you what...

Why don't you all go to hell?

He's got a sense
of respect, doesn't he?

Uhh!

I may not be a real cop anymore,

but I can still act like one.

I loved that dog.

You touch my daughter?

What? Huh?

Is that the hand you used
to touch her?

She's 10 years old,

you piece of shit.

A girl like Devon
will never belong to you.

Uhh!

I think that's enough.

Yeah?

Just about.

Here.

Take a crack at him.

Morton.

Stay out of this, Nash.

This is a personal situation.

I said that's enough!

Do it.

Hit him!

Oh, Jesus.

Trent.

Trent. Shit.

Get up. You have to get up.

Shit, Devon.

Jesus Christ, you shot him.

Honey, give me the gun.

Stop.

He's bleeding, Devon.
He's bleeding bad.

We got to get him to a hospital,

or he'll bleed to death.

He won't die. I lost bucketsful,

and I didn't die.

They're going to
pin this on me, Devon.

They're going...

They're going to pin
this on me, you hear me?

They won't.

They're going to kill me, Devon.

You understand?

Not if you go, Trent.

You have to get out
from here now.

Go.

Go.

Ok.

Dev.

Aw, Dev.

Give me your wallet.

Give me your wallet,
dad, or I'll shoot you.

Better do what she says,
Mr. Stockard,

or I believe she will shoot you.

Here. No.

Buy a new shirt.
There's blood on yours.

Here. Hold the gun.

We've slowed the bleeding,

but we have to get him
to a hospital.

Morton?

Morton.

They're going to come after you.

When they get close,

throw down this towel.

If they're still gaining on you,

throw down this comb.

Whatever happened
at the end of that story?

The girl got away.

She ran and she ran
until she was home.

Home.

Yeah. Tell me
where that is, Devon.

Home is in my hands.

Now drive fast.

Fast.

Dev...

Honey...

Get on your knees, dad.

You're just scared, honey.

I'll tell them
it was an accident.

Kneel down.

Stand up slowly.

Walk straight.

Stop.

Yes, I need ems
for a gunshot victim.

The wound is in
the lower right abdomen.

Once upon a time,

in the middle
of a big, dark forest,

there lived a boy

in a house

all alone.

And he took care of the trees

and fed a stray girl
and was kind to her,

and she loved him for it.

But one day,

Baba Yaga entered the forest
to eat the boy.

The boy wanted to run,

but he knew he could never
outrun Baba Yaga bony legs.

The girl said to the boy,

"take this magic comb
and embroidered towel

and run."

"When Baba Yaga chases you,

"throw down the towel,

"and a great river
will rise up behind you

and cover your tracks."

"If Baba Yaga
is still chasing you..."

"Throw down the magic comb,

and a forest
will spring up behind you."

And the boy drove on and on,

never coming back...

Safe at last.
