"Howdy." "Hey, how's it going?" "I don't know much about these trucks, but my truck just died, I don't know." "Do you know anything, could you maybe give me a hand there?" "I don't know too much more than you, I'm sure." "Yeah." "But I can at least take a look for you." "Okay, I appreciate it." "It might be the spark plug, I'm not really sure." "Look right..." "Be careful, right in there, yeah." "Right." "!" "Shit!" "Yeah, watch it..." "Yeah, it's hot now." "Pardon my language." "Yeah." "That's all right, that's fine, brother." "It don't bother me." "I mean, I gotta..." "Be careful in there, now." "SACRAMENT" "Subrip:" "Pix" "Why?" "'Cause it's time to get up." "Five more minutes." "Nope." "You gotta get up now." "Fuck you." "We really need to get on the road." "I told you that last night when you were like..." ""Babe, just one more drink,"" "and then you finished the entire bottle." "Really?" "Please explain to me why the words "butt pirate" are written on my car." "I'm so ready to hear this." "Jeff and Alex got a little extra-drinky last night." "I think they thought it'd be funny." "And you just let them do it." "I'm sorry, baby." "I was in no condition to traverse the perils of Mount Apartmentstair in my state." "Look." "I know these past couple of days haven't been easy for you." "But we're going to make up for it this weekend." "Okay?" "Okay." "Everybody up." "You drooled on my foot, stupid." "I love watching your ass when you walk." "Holy shit." "I'm sure there's a reason, but why are we leaving at freaking dawn?" "Hey." "If I have to do it, so do you." "Damn, you want me to puke all over you?" "Damn." "Suck it up, dude." "It's time to get up, bitch." "We gotta hurry." "We don't want Swissy Missy getting all pissy." "That's hot cocoa." "This is coffee, genius." " My God!" " Whatever." "I'm already ready, you butch." "Do not light that in my house." "I wasn't gonna." "I was just getting it ready for the road." "Everybody, let's go!" "Move, come on." "Hey, okay!" "Hey, wait." "Who wrote all over Lee's car?" "I can't help but notice that you didn't get so festive with your car." "Yeah, but I drive the Mu-tang, Dad." "I gotta keep up appearances, you know, for the ladies." "Do you know how many miles I get to the gallon?" "Here." "At least you'll be getting use out of some kind of rubber." "Damn!" "I thought you people were supposed to like balloons and glitter." "Thought it'd make you all rainbow-happy and shit." "What the..." "No!" "No!" "What the fuck is that?" "No!" "Na." "Not fuckin' me." "Come on, mother..." "Come on." "Come on, you fucker." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "So what weirdness are you subjecting us to for breakfast this morning?" "Because hung-over or not, I gotta eat." "We just wanted you to experience that whole "Southern hospitality."" "Just as long as I never have to see another freaking grit." "God, you people eat weird shit down here." " Grits are good." "They're nasty." "Hey, have you checked on that storm lately?" "You know, it's going to be raining all fucking week and we're going to be stuck inside the whole time." "You are so negative." "Your face is a negative." "Just checked it, bitches." "It looks like it's still heading north." "Hurricane Bertha, get to steppin'." "Hey!" "It's that playground I used to play at with my grandpa." "So..." "So what?" "So did you get with either of them?" "I'll get there." "Don't you worry about that, you pussy-whipped old prick." "You do realize I'm in the car, right?" "My God." "Don't." "All I'm saying is the groundwork takes time." "The ladies, I mean, the bitches, can't know we're running games on them." "You guys are idiots." "Either of you happen to know what's up with Blake?" "He passed out way early last night and I think I heard him crying." "I don't know." "Something to do with his grandparents." "I guess they heard about him and Lee and disowned him or some shit." "What, like they didn't know?" "How could they not know?" "Well, sir, that is one heck of a story." "Yes, sir, one heck of a story." "Would you excuse us for just a moment, Mr. Ranscombe?" "I see the sheriff, and I want you to tell him just exactly what you told me." "Can you do that for me, son?" "Yes, sir." "All right." "Maybe when we get back, we'll help you with that hand." "We'll be right back." "Yeah." "We'll be right back." "Well." "Are you in jail again?" "No, Ma, not again." "Caller ID says the police station." "Yeah." "I mean, I'm telling you, I'm really tired of these kinds of calls." "Yes." "What's going on now?" "I don't..." "Where are you?" "I don't know!" "I'm in Middle Spring." "You need to grow up." "Yeah." "Talk to me." "What's going on?" "Listen, I am so tired..." "Ma, can you please just come and get me?" "Okay." "Okay." "I'll be there shortly." "I love you." "You, too." "Well, son." "Sounds like you had yourself one hell of a morning." "Say, I didn't mean to overhear, but did I hear you on the phone talking to your family?" "Did you tell them you're all safe and sound right here?" "Yes, sir, my..." "My mom's supposed to be coming to get me." "Good boy." "Well, while we're waiting, if you don't mind, would you just kind of run through the whole thing for me one more time?" "Could you do that?" "I was so scared, I..." "I just didn't know what else to do." "Hold on a sec." "Yeah." "You sure?" "Well, that's what I was afraid of." "So, I guess, do you want me to tell you the rest of the story now?" "Sheriff!" "That's him!" "Now, son, son, settle down!" "I'm gonna have to apologize for Brother Simon here, he should've been a little more careful." "What the hell is wrong with you?" "Are you fucking crazy?" "You're supposed to help me!" "Son, if you just settle down and cooperate, it's gonna go a lot easier." "Had to be a smartass and grab somebody from outside of town, didn't you?" "Well, call the doctor." "Somebody gonna tell me how this little son of a bitch got away from the hunter?" "No, no." "You're not listening to me." "I'm telling you." "I just talked to him a couple of hours ago and everything was just fine." "I understand, Mrs. Ranscombe." "Hopefully, we're just dealing with shock, and after a few days' observation, we can be sure that he won't be a danger to himself or anyone else." "He did attack a deputy, after all...." "Doc." "Ma'am." "I hope you understand this really is the best thing for him." "Now my deputy is not going to press charges." "We wanna make sure your son's getting all the help he needs so this kind of thing doesn't happen again." "...Can I see him?" "Why don't we just see how things go tonight, and..." "Go home, get some rest." "I'll give you a call with an update tomorrow." "Can we do that?" "I guess." "Weren't no dog!" "It was him." "You know it was him!" "Yeah, but if he wasn't Isaac's boy, he would've been put down like a dog by now!" "I just don't know how the hell he keeps getting out!" "I'm really sorry about that." "Please, let's just..." "Let's just go outside." "You didn't think I was hanging around you bitches, did you?" "But we wuvs you, Jennifer!" "Come here, come here." "...Let it happen." "Too far." "Mama will fix you right up, sugar." " She loves it." " She doesn't." "I see a world filled with evil." "They sell it to your children on the television." "They sell it to your children through the music." "Your children are being filled up with these lies." "They say, "Love the sinner, hate the sin."" "I say, "No!"" "All manner of perversion has to be accepted?" "I say, "No!"" ""No" is right, asshole." "Food!" "Food!" "So why are we stopping?" "Well, A, the Mu-tang needs gas." "We can't all be eco-freaks." "Two, I need to go drain my hog." " And C, well..." " Okay." "We're going inside." "Whenever you're ready to get moving." "Man, what are you doing?" "Sorry, ma'am, that was our fault." "Y'all looking for anything in particular?" "We got a little bit of just about everything back there, there's even some clothes." "They're used, but ain't nothing wrong with them." "Maybe something to eat?" "My wife's cooking up a mess of barbecue." "I don't think so." "You sure?" "She's a heck of a cook!" "It is pretty darn good." "Just made up a batch of biscuits, too." "You look like you could use a good meal." "You're so thin." "No, ma'am, I think we're good." "Thank you, though." ""Ma'am"!" ""Ma'am."" "Hear that, old man?" ""Ma'am" and "sir."" "Some young'uns were raised up right." "Totally hideous, like I expected." "Well, I expected more hideous." "I heard..." "Okay, stop it." "You're being weird." "How about this?" "Why're you pulling on me?" "You're pretty." "Hope I can be that pretty when I grow up." "My gosh, aren't you sweet?" "What've you got there?" "What is that?" "Why won't you let me read it?" "Guess if the lizard was smaller, it wouldn't take so long to drain, right?" "Take home some barbecue, it's all made up and ready to go." "Well, thank you, ma'am." "How much do we owe you?" "Don't worry about it, not one bit." "Be careful on those old roads, though." "There's a big storm a-coming." "Okay, thank you, ma'am." "You're welcome." "Hey, pops, I don't suppose you take plastic?" "No?" "Couldn't get much worse than this." "Hi." "Can I get you anything, miss?" "Honey, are you all right?" "Kids." "I just wish they came with a manual." "Well, we can put 'em on the right path, but it's up to them to make the choices." "This one's in a lot of goddamn trouble." "They've got him under observation up there at that hospital." "Now, dear, the good Lord didn't have anything to do with that, did he?" "No, but he doesn't seem to be doing anything about it, either." "Jesus, I mean..." "We can't have that kind of talk in here, missy." "We just can't." "Do you have a powder room, ma'am?" "Why, dear, of course." "It's right down there." "Thank you so much." "Excuse me." "No, excuse me." "Fuck..." "Now we just can't have you taking the Lord's name in vain again, can we, sweetie?" "Just lie still." "The less you move..." "The less it's gonna hurt." "I promise you." "It'll be quick." "Why..." "That ought to keep him quiet for a while." "Darn it, old man." "Now I've gotta mop the floor again." "Put her in the kitchen where I can drain her proper." "All right." "All right." "Here we go." "What is this supposed to mean?" "What, now I'm supposed to speak inbred redneck?" "I don't know, you seem to know everything else." "Shut up." "Are we there yet?" "We're closer, but I was thinking maybe we could stop for the night." "Why don't we stop up there?" "How can you think about more barbecue right now?" "Didn't you have enough of that drippy meat at that store?" "Do you really think anybody in this car has got enough hot, drippy meat?" "My God." "Dear God, please tell me this isn't where we're stopping." "Anyone wanna bet there's no pool, bar, Internet, anything even vaguely interesting or modern?" "Take a look in that bag under the floorboard." "I think I got your bar covered." "Really?" "Nice!" "But it doesn't look like you got enough for you." "Shit." "You better learn to share if you want some more of this weed." "Holy shit, do you smell that?" "Smells like somebody's got the munchies." "As thrilled as I am that you wrote "butt pirate" on my car," "I think it wouldn't have taken us so long if we didn't have to stop by a car wash." "Alex just wants love." "Relax, princess." "Relax." "You're my princess." "How y'all doing?" "Y'all need some rooms?" "Why, yes, ma'am." "Unless I can help you fold them sheets first." "Two rooms for you?" "Yes, ma'am, that'll be fine." "Good." "'Cause that's what I've got." "One room for the boys, and one room for the girls..." "Unless any of y'all's married...." "Didn't think so." "Bud!" "Bud!" "You hear me, boy?" "You help these young'uns get their things upstairs." "Then you get back down here and you finish up your chores, you hear me?" "Yes'm." "Let me get that." "Here, I'll take that." "My bag!" "I can take mine." "You got my bags in here." "Yeah." "There, man." "I think I see Shell's pool!" "You boys are going to have to give us a little while." "Well, shit." "You don't waste any time, do you?" "Where exactly am I supposed to sleep?" "Well, Big Daddy, you can share with me." "You'll keep me nice and warm...." "Or you can lay on the floor." "What the hell's the big deal anyway?" "The queers are sleeping over there." "Shit, man, I just don't like being that close to another dude." "Fuck me!" "Fuck me hard!" "Alex!" "I have no intention of spending a lot of time in this room anyway." "It's all yours." "You've been working out." "Thanks, baby." "What's wrong?" "Have you seen my earring anywhere?" "I think that creepy lady downstairs ate it." "Maybe it's in the car." "Jesus fucking Christ!" "No, but it's as close as you're going to get." "My God." "Don't you know how to knock, motherfucker?" "Don't you know how to wipe?" "Come on, baby, I found us a little place to take a dip." "A skinny one, even." "Okay, let's go." "Your hipster-geek fetish disturbs me sometimes." "Whatever." "Get it in while you can, girl." "We're out of here in the morning." "Don't wait up, ladies." "Entertain me." "We have to cut through these lies with the sharp blade of The Word." "Amen." "We have to feed our children on the truth." "Amen." "Hallelujah." "We have to plant the seed of that truth in our children's bellies, and watch it grow." "Amen!" "No more can we let these blasphemers starve the souls of our children." " Hallelujah." " Amen." "When these people come into our lives, we have to show them the way." "Amen!" "I don't know how they do it, but this food has been touched by the angels." "Ain't you eating, hon?" "There's nothing here I can eat." "What do you mean?" "There's a whole plate there right in front of you." "I'm a vegetarian." "I don't eat meat." "Get yourself some tuna salad." "Tuna is meat." "It ain't." "It's fish!" "Fish is still meat." "You know, a dead animal." "Well, here, you just eat some of them baked beans." "You can just pick that bacon right out." "Here, I'll take the bacon." "What's wrong, little sister?" "There's meat in everything!" "I can't eat it." "You see, little sister, a man's faith allows him to eat anything." "But a man whose faith is weak eats only vegetables." "Hungry!" "Hungry!" "Hungry!" "Hungry!" "Hungry!" "Shut up, you crazy fuck!" " Hungry!" "Quiet!" "I don't want to hear any more out of you!" "Hungry!" "Stop." "Shut up!" "Shut up." "Shut the fuck up." "Shut up!" "Shit." "What now?" "What?" "No!" "Hungry!" "Hungry!" "Hungry!" "Hungry!" "Get The Hunter out here now." "I'm not going into the woods after that crazy prick." "I don't care whose kid he is." "Come on." "He couldn't have gone that far." "Fuck." "Fuck it." "Fuck." "Bitch." "Fuck me!" "Motherfucker." "What the fuck is this shit?" "Shoes?" "Yeah." "No." "That's right." "Motherfucking shoes." "Come on, now, get the fuck on." "What the..." "What the fuck?" "Fuck." "Fuck." "Drink." "Mom..." "Mommy?" "What the fuck is wrong with you people?" "I just don't know if I'm reaching them, brothers." "We are going to have to push even harder." "I think you're right, but..." "Don't think grabbing them off the street is a great way to start." "Yes, sir." "I heard about that boy." "Got to be smarter, Simon." "Picot hadn't worked as quick as he did, we would be in a world of spit right now." "I know." "And you're right." "It won't happen again." "Now listen." "We have to start with the folks we know we can trust." "But brother, when you're talking about more people, you're talking about more mouths to feed." "I mean, how can we make sure we have enough?" "The revivals, they help." "But if enough people go a-missing, then somebody is going to ask questions that we can't answer." "It doesn't matter." "We have to save as many of these lost souls as possible." "We'll just have to expand the stables we have." "BeBe says she's got at least six feeders ready for harvesting, and if we're careful..." "I'm sorry to disturb you, Brother Isaac." "BeBe's got a whole mess of kids staying down at the hotel." "Maybe some of those "lost souls" you were talking about." "Number one, we need to get that Hunter out of the woods." "Yes, sir." "And two, we need to start the harvest close to home." "Those kids over at BeBe's?" "Divide and conquer, brothers." "Divide and conquer." "I need to get back to my flock." "Brahm, take a couple of boys, and be smart about it." "Don't let me down." "But Daddy..." "Son, you're the only one I know I can trust." "When I'm gone, it will be you up on that pulpit." "Okay, Daddy." "You heard him, boys." "And you're right, Simon." "We do need more food." "But if you fail us again, you won't have to worry about who's eating what." "Got me?" "Jesus!" "What's wrong?" "Are you scared of the dark?" "You didn't hear that?" "What, the thunder?" "Thunder, my ass, those were gunshots." "My God, bullshit." "Blake said storms were headed this way." "Come on." "Are you coming or what?" "Shit." "Damn it." "That's why I shook mine out, smart guy." "Look, I think we need to get back." "I'm telling you, those were gunshots." "My God, and I'm telling you, it was just thunder." "Now, do you want to lie down here with me, or do you want to go back to your boys at the hotel?" "You got all the answers, don't you?" "Not all of them." "Well, that didn't take you too long, did it?" "Babe?" ""Meats for the belly..."" "What the fuck!" ""...and belly for meat."" "Who the fuck are you?" ""But the Lord shall destroy both it and them."" "Let her go!" ""Now, the body is not for fornication," ""but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body."" "Get the fuck off me!" "Shell!" "Brothers, let's help these sinners cleanse themselves." "Shell!" "Let her go." "Shell!" ""Wash me completely of my evil..."" "Shell!" "Let her go." "Get off of me." ""...and purge me from my sins."" "Amen, brothers!" "Amen!" "Shell!" "Let her go!" "Shell!" "Shell!" "Why are you doing this?" "Get off of me!" "Fuck!" "Get off of me." "Time to wash your sins away, too, brother." "Go, go, go." "All right, give it to me." "Drink." "Hell, yeah." "You know, for someone so worried about sleeping next to another guy, you sure don't mind sharing this shaft with me." "Pussy." "Besides, the smoke totally sterilizes it." "Okay, buddy." "What?" "Looks like we're stuck." "We might as well just go home tomorrow." "No, Boo." "Boo is right." "I don't want to go home yet." "Shit, you want to stay here?" "At least if we go back now, we can party for real." "Not that fucked up, buddy." "So, I'm hungry." " Who's hungry?" "Yeah." " I could eat." " You can always eat." "Baby?" "Baby?" "Let me guess, do I get to be the one to go and get it?" "Well, the rest of us are way too fucked up to go." "Seriously?" "Handle your high." "Hey, you think there's a burger place open?" "No, I don't." " Cheeseburger?" " Nope." "No." "Chocolate sundae?" "Zucchini?" "Okay." "Pizza?" "Corn dog?" "No." "Come on." "You are going to eat whatever I bring you." "I'm going straight there and coming straight back." "Try not to destroy anything." "Since when do you do anything straight?" "So you want grits." "Okay, and you want vagina, so..." " Love you." " Love you." "You going out alone tonight?" "You almost scared me to death." "I'm just going to go grab some food for me and my friends." "You have a good night." "You, too." "What's up?" "So, Lorri, how's it going?" "How's what going?" "You know, things, life, whatnot." "Life's not really "whatnot," but it's going just fine." "Do you want to maybe go somewhere a little bit more private?" "You know, just the two of us?" "You know, going somewhere more private sounds really good." "But you should probably go by yourself." "I have some lotion and tissues in my bag if you get lonely." "I just..." "I don't want to be your pity fuck." "You know what?" "Fuck you guys." "Wait, don't go." "I'm sorry, sir, that was..." "That was my fault." "No apologies necessary, son." "If I wasn't so full of Mama C's cooking," "I'd be navigating by sense of smell myself." "Have a good night." "Thank you very much." "Can I get two of these to go, please?" "Be right with you, sugar." "Tell them I'm on my way." "Now they just told me we've got no more meat ready." "But if you give me just a minute," "I'll make sure you get fixed up right." "Can you wait for just a couple, sugar?" "I promise, it'll be worth it." "Sure, that's fine." "Now you just go and sit yourself right down there, and I'll be back quick as I can." "Yes, ma'am." "What are you doing letting me run out of meat out there on that line?" "And don't you tell me we got no more!" "We've got something for you, Mama C!" "Call it..." "Call it an offering." ""An offering,"" ""Go out into the flock and find me two fine young goats." ""I will use them to prepare your father's favorite dish."" "Go and get the other one." ""And the eyes of all look unto you," ""and you will give them their food in due season, brothers."" "Now, I'll be back soon." "And you best have them cleaned up and ready." "Well, damn, babe." "You took for, like, ever." "My God, you missed it." "Alex was like," ""I love you, Lorri."" "He was on the bed, laying almost on top of..." "Alex was like, "I want to stick my hot dog in your taco."" "I'm serious." " Do we have to do this?" " Like, kind of." "Really?" "Hey, you're the one that got him all pissed off." "Alex left pissed off." "You've got to be fucking kidding me." "Dead serious, may God strike me down." "Bitches." "So, nobody knows where he went?" "Nah, fuck him." "Classy." "Bitches!" "That's all they are." "What did I do?" "I just wanted a little play." "What the fuck?" "Keep him quiet, boy." "Boy needs a little cooling off, son." "Let go of me!" "No!" "So he's high, drunk, and pissed off, and you guys just let him roam around a town he doesn't know." "Right?" "He'll be fine, babe." "Okay, just stay here." "I'm going to go look for him." "Holy hell!" "Good Lord Almighty." "I just come up to tell you kids, your friend, the big one..." "Sheriff just took him in." "What?" "Sheriff said he would let him go in the morning." "Boys will be boys, but he was just raising too much of a ruckus." "Now, good night." "Thanks, ma'am." "I think." "Fuck." "Shit." "Fuck." "What?" "Did you see Jeff come in last night?" "Nein." "I saw nassing." "Awesome." "What?" "Cuddle me, jerk-face." "Better." "I'm trying." "Wait, there's no..." "Well, aren't you the prepared little scout." "You should see the rest of the badges I earned." "Really?" "With us five feet away?" "I..." "Yeah, your little pincushion said that already." "I smell breakfast." "You bitches do what you want." "I'm going to take a nice hot shower." "And the three of you could probably use a cold one." "I thought I was going to get a hell of a show." "Sorry?" "It's all good." "You want to go get breakfast?" " Sure." "Sure." "Ma'am." "Is this all for us?" "Well, I figured it was the least I could do, with your friend being "on ice," so to speak." "Everybody else is at the revival anyway." "About that." "Could you tell us where the sheriff's office is?" "We'll need to go bail him out, I guess." "I wouldn't worry none about that." "Sheriff will let him go just as soon as he sobers up." "Should be any time now." "And them other two..." " Jeff and Shell." "Them." "They came through here early this morning, said they would see you all later on." "Went looking for a lake they saw on the way in." "Again?" "What the hell." "And are these grits?" "Come on, baby." "Let's go." "Come on." "It'll be fun." "Besides, Alex probably isn't even out yet." "Maybe we should bring him a cake with a file in it?" "All right." "Let's go in." "My God." "That's really..." "Cool." "This stuff is crazy!" "Is that..." "Is that a buffalo?" "I think it's a moose." "They have dresses." "Morning, ma'am." "And good morning to you." "I'm sorry about my friends, they're a little loud." "Loud?" "Y'all just let me know if I can help you with anything." "Thank you, all right." "I should..." "Do you think you guys could tone it down just a touch?" "Who, us?" "My God." "Come on, baby." "Have a little fun." "Come on, baby." "Have a little fun." "Okay, okay." " Do you like it?" " No." "Okay, so I think this would be perfect for in our kitchen, like, right above the buffalo head." "Nah." "It's really..." "I mean, you can just..." "Do-do, do-do." "No!" "No." "Kind of looks like your dad." "A little bit." "How much?" "It's not that much." "Please?" "You know you like it." "And I have just the spot for it." "There you go." "Thank you." "Got yourself a good man there, young lady." "Don't let him go." "Who, me?" "No." "He belongs to little dancing queen over there." "I see." "You all have a good day." "Let's go, guys." "So?" "So, what?" "So, what now?" "What's the plan, fearless leader?" "My plan is to go back to the hotel, pack my stuff, and..." "You want to finish that sentence?" "It's Alex." "I guess the sheriff let him out." "So, where is he?" "Says he..." "He's been out looking for us." "Over by the church now." "He says he wants Lorri to come meet him." "He wants to apologize for last night." "My ass." "What about Jeff and Shell?" "He says they're back at the hotel, waiting on us." "I guess they're packing, I..." "I think you should just come back to the hotel with us, and he can meet us there, and apologize, or whatever it is he wants to do." "Look, I know he's a dipshit, but I was really hard on him." "Besides, maybe he's actually sorry." "Look, I'll just go over to the church and get him, and I'll meet you guys back at the hotel." "We can all leave together from there." "If you say so." "Let's go, okay." "Come on." "Straight people are weird." "So what happened to Jeff's phone anyway?" "I guess the dumbass dropped it in the lake." "Quit it." "Stop." "Quit it." "I just want to finish what we started this morning." "We could do it now." "Come on." "What are you doing?" "Are you nuts, bitch?" "Get your hands off our stuff." "Blake!" "My apologies, boys." "I thought they'd snatched you up already." "Got to clean the place up, you know." "Lee?" "It's okay." "You're making this way too easy for him, you know." "Well, we can't all be as tough as you." "Besides, it's not like I have a line of guys trying to get with me." "He's not that bad." "I mean, that one Valentine's Day when I didn't have a date, he got me a teddy bear." "I just..." "Why not give him another shot?" "He's not..." "Yeah, but it's Alex." "I know, I know, but I'm not going to let him treat me like shit." "I don't deserve it, and I'm just not going to let him get away with it." "Besides, I know this is a big shock to you, but I like sex, and it's been a really long time." "Besides, he's not that bad." "Is he supposed to be here?" "I guess, I don't know." "Really?" "Son of a bitch." "I bet you he is back at the hotel, and you're off wandering around following him like a little puppy." "He wouldn't do that to us." "Yes, he would, he's Alex." "Yeah, I know." "He said the back of the church, right?" "Yeah, well, he lied." "Maybe there's another church." "A church in a town of six people!" "I don't know, I don't live here." "Alex?" "Alex!" "Alex!" "Afternoon, sisters." "Hi!" "I..." "I don't want to bother you, but we're looking for a friend of ours." "He was supposed to meet us here." "No bother at all." "Maybe I can help you find him." "I mean, is he here?" "Is he inside, maybe?" "Probably easier if I just showed you." "Run!" "Run!" "Lorri!" "Lorri!" "Lorri!" "Lorri!" "Lorri!" "Lorri!" "Lorri!" " No!" " Hold on." "Lorri!" ""And thou shalt kill the bullock before the Lord," ""by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation." ""And he took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people and said," ""'Behold, the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you.'"" "These are lean times, brothers." "This one will serve us well." "Bring them both." "You see, little sister, we must be prepared in times like these." "We would be remiss in our faith if we were to pass up such a bounty when the Lord has laid it at our doorstep." ""A righteous man cares for the needs of his flock." ""We care for our flock." ""We watch over it willingly, not grudgingly." ""Not for what we will receive, but because..."" ""But because we are eager to serve our Lord."" "No, no, no, don't you worry." "Don't you worry." "I have no intentions on you suffering such a fate." "But we must make thee ready to serve the flock." "These the last two?" "Yes, sir." "A couple of queers." " This one, too?" " Yes, Daddy." "Such a polite young man, too." "I say we take them outside, set a fire, and be done with it." "Quiet, boy." "We can't feed them to our flock." "Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten, it must be burned up." "Do not preach to me, boy!" "You forget your place." "Brother Simon, do you think these two might be saved?" "That I do not know, brother." "I mean, can they truly be cleansed of their sin?" "How can you think about letting them live?" "We cannot let them pollute our town, our land, our people." "Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked." "I want you to try, brother." "This is not the time or the place to have this conversation." "This is exactly the place to have this conversation." "It's because of what you're about to do!" "I'm not sure you understand the predicament you're in here, son." "Now, if you can repent, if you can show us a sign that you can live here..." "It's the only way?" "I'm afraid so, son." "You haven't seen how beautiful things are here." "You could be truly happy." "After a while, a wife, maybe some children." "It's the only way." "You have to see the light." "What the fuck are you doing?" "Maybe they're right." "Maybe my grandfather was right." "What kind of life can we have?" "It's not like we can get married." "And kids?" "What do we have?" "Pets?" "It's not any kind of life." "Not really." "Are you sure, son?" "You have to be sure." "Blake!" "Please." "How can you do this to me?" "How can you do this to us?" "Because I'm tired!" "I'm tired, Lee." "I'm tired of always being the joke, and the outcast." "And I don't want to have to look over my shoulder every time I want to touch you," "or kiss you..." "Stop." "Please stop." "...or love you." "You have to say it aloud." "Admit your sin." "That's the only way you can seek forgiveness." "I've been thinking about it for a long time." "I think I always knew it was wrong." "You know what has to be done, brother." "I do." "I am so sorry." "I love you." "You just killed yourself, boy!" "Brahm!" "Isaac!" "Shut the fuck up!" "You self-righteous piece of shit." "Didn't think you were gonna get rid of me that easy, did you?" "Let's get the fuck out of here." "Simon!" "Simon!" "I told you!" "They're gone." "Well, that's apparent, boy." "They're gone!" "Yes, they are." "You take care of that one, I'll go tell his mother." "I'm sorry, Bud." "The Lord is with you." "Just go." "Just go." "How many people have died because we've listened to you?" "We've spilt our blood." "It's on your head." "Watch your tongue, boy!" "It's on your head!" "You had to try to save those unrepentant sinners." "You knew, you knew I was right, but you wouldn't let me lay down His judgment." ""When you do wrong, be afraid." ""For he does not bear the sword in vain." ""For he is a servant of the Lord, an avenger for His wrath."" "Men, take him to the church and gather the congregation." "I'll be along shortly." "How dare you?" "Get your hands off of me!" "Let me go!" "Stop!" "Shit!" "What do we do now?" "We run, and we don't stop." "Now." "There are those destined and determined to walk straight into the grinder," "and they cannot be saved." "The ovens are hot, and they are waiting for them, brethren." "We do not mourn them." "We do not shed a single tear." "Do we cry for the wheat that puts our bread on the table?" "No, friends." "They are meant to be fodder for His true disciples." "We have been led astray." "We have been led astray by a false prophet." "Now I, out of any of us, feel this betrayal to the depths of my very living soul." "Each one of you have faithfully obeyed the voice, but, you see, a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone." "Please, please, brethren, be seated!" "We are being tested, brethren." "We have to return to the true path, and this is the way." "Trust in the body and blood and forever eat at the table of our Lord." "Deny it, and be cast down with the curs and rats." "They are not worthy to eat but the scraps and bones tossed unto the dirt." "Remember, friends, it is not me that is calling out to you to pick up the sword." "It is He Himself that commands you." "We're being tested!" "If I am wrong, let Him stay my hand." "If I am wrong, let Him strike me down!" "I welcome His righteous retribution." "There is no other way but His, and there is no other truth but His." "We offer up this sacrifice, and hope that once again" "He may rain His blessings down upon us." "Damn it!" "Lee!" "I said don't stop." "We have to get out of here." "No, look." "Shit!" "The keys!" ""Dumb idea to have a spare under the car,"" ""Somebody will just steal it,"" "You were so right." "Now will you unlock my goddamn door so we can get out of here, please?" "Hurry!"
