"Don't bother coming looking for me," or some such shit." "Couldn't even bother to speak to me herself, the little... bitch." "Mind shutting that door?" "You're putting a glare on the tube."

"You know, I don't," "I don't really keep track of the bitches." "Sorry." "Oh, and Chris called." "He said he had a really good time with you on Friday." "You know, if I got my ass kicked by a girl," "I'd probably want to forget about it, too." "You guys want to do me a favor and come back for these tomorrow?" "Thanks." "So, I saw her at the party." "So what?" "So, nobody's heard from her since." "Yeah, well, I really couldn't give a shit." "Come to think of it why do you?" " She's my best friend." "Hmm." "J doesn't have friends." "She has victims." "[Air gun fires]" "Hey, you know, J always talked a lot of mess about you." "Did you know that?" "She said you were gonna bail out on her the first chance you got."

"No." "She is the type, isn't she?" "That goes missing?" "Like Janet Melville." "But, Darla, nothing happened to Janet." "They just say that stuff to scare us away from doing anything fun."

"What about that bus?" "Have you ever seen that?" "No." "No." "What does this mean?" "I don't..." "I don't know." "Hold on a sec." "What are you doing?" "I'm decoding your message." "No, Jasper, we didn't write in code." "Maybe not intentionally." "You know, Mom does this all the time." "She sends me text messages thinking she's using the enriched-text function." "The T9 function?" "Like, when she really isn't, so what you end up with aren't words you can read, but a jumble of letters and numbers instead." "So what I would do is write down the letter combinations and then see what words it would spell." "What?" "[Gasps]" "Now do you believe me?" "You've got to go to the cops with this." "So?" " "So" what?" " So, what do we do now?" "We don't do anything." "But if her parents want to, they can come on down and fill out a missing-person's report." "Is her mom aware that she's missing?"

"The world ain't as mysterious as you think it is when you're a kid." "I'm not a kid." "My point is that a girl with a prior history for running away who tells her friend..." " Her best friend!" "Who tells her best friend that she's thinking on running away, even shows her the suitcase has probably done just that." " I know Jill." "This isn't like her." "I've seen this happen a hundred times before." "Girl gets to be a certain age, she feels pinched, like she's outgrown this place, these people..." "You don't outgrow your best friend!" "That's all you have to say?" "Come on!" "You don't think there's something weird going on?" "Weird isn't a crime." "If it were, I'd happily put every one of you kids in jail." "Well, what about rape?" "Isn't sex with a minor still considered rape?" "I mean, what was going through your head when you were writing her all those e-mails?" "Better watch your tone, girl." "You're preparing to jump in the deep end." "You don't have to run away to the big city to find trouble." "There's plenty right here." "[Door slams against wall]" "Tell me again why I'm risking my future full-ride scholarship to Stanford to do this." "Because the story that Jillian ran away is bullshit, and you know it and I know it and I need you to help me prove it and you like me." "[Rock music plays]" "No shit!" ""Durtygrrl" was Jillian?" "What?" "Everyone checked out her profile." "She's the patron saint of the Computer Club." "Anyway, what does this have to do with her going missing?" "The night she disappeared, Jill was supposed to meet this cyber guy, and I think she met him here." "Oh, if this really is the suspect, you've got a huge job ahead of you." "[Taps keyboard]" "Hey, I didn't know, okay?" "Besides, you know how many hot girls you have to hit up on here before you find one that will actually add you?" "Looks like she was everybody's friend." "Or nobody's." "Look, she hasn't logged in since last Friday." "The night of the party." "Hey, check her e-mail!" "Maybe her middle name or her pet's."

"With my baby brother." "After that, Dad got really strict, and now I have lots of rules on the Internet and makeup and stuff." "Yeah." "Oh, heck!" "There's my dad." "He's coming." "SARAH:" "[Stamping out cigarettes]" "Don't panic." "Don't panic." "It's fine." " Um, spray some of this on." " No!" "I can't wear perfume!" "Darla, do you want your dad thinking that you're wearing perfume or smoking?" "Uh, okay, hit me..." "Vince!" "Darla, ring up your dad, will you?" "Take it easy." " Hi, sweetheart." " Hi." "Hi, Sarah." "I notice you've been down to the library quite a bit lately." "Are you in summer school?" "No, um..." "It's like a personal research project." " Oh." " These are $5.30." " Okay." "All right." "There you go." " Thank you." " Have you heard from your friend?" " My friend?" "Yes, the, uh, the young lady who was working here." "Jillian?" "No, uh, not yet." "I'm sure she'll turn up." "Thanks." "All right." "Bye, honey." "You're not wearing perfume, are you?" "Oh, no, um, that's me." "I think I, I think I was standing next to her when I sprayed it on." "Okay." "All right." "I'll see you later tonight." "Hey, Daddy?" "I invited Sarah over to our house for my birthday." "Good!" "Good!" "Well, we'll have a good time, won't we?" "It'll be a nice party." "Okay." "Thanks for covering for me!" "You will come, won't you?" "This Sunday." "I'm sorry about telling him about the Jillian thing." " I didn't mean anything by it." " Oh, it's okay." "Um, yeah, of course I'll come." "It'll be really fun." "[Tapping keyboard]" "Any bites?" "JASPER:" "[Whistles]" "Are you gonna read all those?" "[Alert sounds]" "Well, better get started!" "[Music plays]" "Thought you could use a boost." " Just hook up an I.V." " What, boring?" "[Sighs]" "Let me give you a sample." ""I know that you're the girl of my dreams." "Hit me back." "Let's hook up."" "He misspelled "girl"." "It just goes on and on." "It's like that or worse." "Like every cheesy little perv-boy on the Internet was her friend." "She gets these messages from Peru and Bangladesh and France." "This girl never left Goshen." "Slide over." "It's dead in here." "I'll take a shift." "[Music keeps playing]" "[Train whistle in distance] [E-mail alert sounds]" "Sarah, why are we doing this?" "She's my best friend." "Yeah, I know." "I know." "I get that." "But this..." "This is like above and beyond best friends." "I guess it's because I know if I got into trouble" "I would always have my mom and dad." "And I think that most people have somebody who cares about what happens to them." "And the only person Jill has is me." "I don't know what I'm doing." "[Sighs]" "I have to open tomorrow." "Yeah." "I should lock up." "Oh!" "[Grumbles]" "[E-mail alert sounds]" "Hey!" "What did you say Jillian was calling this guy?" "A "Mr. X."" "You'd better check this out." "Here." "Look." " JASPER:" "Look at the name." " SARAH:" "Mr. experience?" "Mr. X!" "How did I miss that?" "He's still online." " Do you think this is our guy?" " I'm trying to find that out." "Hey, he's logged off." "[Sighs]" "What the hell does that mean?" "[Insects buzzing]" "[Car alarm deactivates]" "Jillian?" "Jillian?" "Jillian?" "[Door slams]" "[Traffic passes]" "[Echoing whisper] Sarah." "Up here." "[Glass bottles fall]" "Jillian?" "[Scream] [Objects crash]" "[Gasping]" "[Gasping]" "Patty?" "[Door squeaks on hinges]" "Oh!" "[Gasping]" "I know what you are, too." "[Exhales]" "Now how long you say your friend's been missing?" " A couple of weeks." " Couple of weeks?" "My Janet was gone three years before I realized." "Me and her old man, we didn't get on so well..." "I'm sure you've heard the stories." "Day doesn't go by that I don't hate myself for leaving her with that son-of-a-bitch." "Her "Daddy."" "By the time I faced up to him, she was gone and he didn't know where." "Is that when you started putting up flyers?" "Being a lowlife has its advantages." "People underestimate you, but I'm focused." "I traveled, looked under a lot of rocks, lived under a few, too." "[Glass bottle falls over]" "I've heard some stories." "Like what?" "Children... disappearing." "The kind of kids nobody's looking for." "The kind of kids they call "trash."" ""Runaway." Like..." "Brenda Stills," "Cindy Marker," "Debbie Hope." "Like your Jillian." "Like my Janet." "[Motorcycle revs in distance]" "All lost." "PATTY:" "They're all lost." "Sometimes when I feel her slipping away from me," "I call her just to listen to her voice on the message so I don't forget what she sound like." "Where did you get that?" " It's Jillian's!" " Jillian's?" "It's The Serpent himself!" "The serpent?" " The devil." " Patty, I don't know what that means." "You can't see it in the flyers because the copies are for crap, but on the original it's clear as day." "Holy shit!" "[Dialing number]" "[Phone ringing]" "Come on, Jasper." "Pick up." "Come on." "[Phone vibrates]" "Come on, Jasper." "[Vibrations continue]" "[Phone ringing]" "[Gasps]" "Shit." "[Dog barks]" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Jasper!" "Look." "[Jasper groans]" "SARAH:" "Fuck!" "[Sighs]" "He just went in back." "Well, right on schedule." "Every day at 2:00 Billy hits the glue." "Yeah, give him a couple of minutes." "You'll see." "And you know this how?" "I collect model trains, all right?" "Have you ever tried to buy miniatures from a stoner?" "It freaks them out." "You sure it was Billy last night?" "The guy has tortured me my entire life." "I think I can recognize his voice." "Okay." "Let's get him." "BILLY:" "Um  hold on a second." "[Paintball gun firing]" "Agh!" "What the fuck?" "Ah!" "Oh!" " Hey, Billy!" " Oh, man!" "We just want to ask you a few questions." "I'm on fucking duty any day..." "[Paintball gun fires] [Gags]" "First question..." "when you jumped Jasper last night, you said, "I know who you are, too."" "How did you know we sent that message?" "[Hoarsely] You tell me." "You're the honor student." "[Paintball gun fires] Ugh!" "Ow!" "Well, I can guess the first part, that you knew Jillian was Durtygrrl." "It's the connection to Jasper that I'm missing." "Okay, okay." "Okay." "Okay." "I knew..." "[Stuttering]... how you think you're such a genius, Ass-per." "Nobody's heard from J in weeks." "And all of a sudden she's sending me messages with your ugly face all over her profile." "[Laughs] You'd never make Jay's Top 8." "You'd never even make her Top 800." "I bet that really pissed you off, right?" "That Jillian had a profile like that to meet men." "Yeah, and we all know you do stupid things when you're angry." "Yeah, it pissed me off." "That was the point, wasn't it?" "To piss me off." "Jay was always doing stupid shit." "She was always playing games with me, telling me how many guys wanted to fuck her." "I never thought she was serious, though." "[Gasping]" "What do you know, Billy?" "Now you've got a choice." "Face or nuts?" "You can't cover them both." "Okay, okay, okay." "Okay." "Fuck you." "Okay, I followed her okay, after the party." "I thought it was part of the, part of the game." "You know, she'd get me all mad, and then I'd..." "[Jillian screams] ...you know." "I followed her downtown." "And then I saw her get into a a car." "She was laughing." "Well, who was driving?" "I don't know." "I was too far away and couldn't see." "What kind of car was it?" "I don't know!" "It was a piece of shit!" "It looked like a rental!" "You want to know who she was with?" "Ask your friend, the mole girl." "No, no, no." "I'm serious." "I mean Darla." "Darla." "Ask Darla." "She was there." "Bullshit!" "Why would Darla care about what Jillian was doing?" "I don't freaking know!" "Come on." "Let's go." "[Paintball blasts, Billy yelling in pain]" " Do you believe him?" " I have to." "Billy's too stupid to lie that well." "Well, what do we do now?" "I'm going to wish Darla a happy birthday." "Oh, Sarah." "Hello." "Okay." "Well, everybody's here." "Let's start the party." "Dear Father, we thank You for us to be seated at this table tonight eating this meal with good friends." "Good friends who are like family to us." " Amen." " Amen." "Amen." " Should I blow out the candles?" " Sure." "[Dogs barking outside]" "TELEVISION:" "... when God created man and woman and God graced them in the garden and things, things were good." "But then ol' Lucifer comes along..." "Darla." "I need to ask you a question." " And I need you to tell me the truth." " What is it?" "MR. TOD:" "Darla?" "Darla, honey, could you feed the dogs?" "Their barking's driving me crazy." "I'll take over for you." "Go on." "TELEVISION:" "... guard themselves if they're taking of the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge." "Now, we all know Lucifer, just as in the nature of birds to sing and the bees to make honey, so it is the nature of the Devil to tempt..." "[Clears throat] Glad you were able to come tonight." "She, uh, ahem, doesn't have a lot of friends." "TELEVISION:" "... for God cannot be tempted, nor does He kid anyone." "Oh!" "Sorry." " I think my necklace is caught." " You need some help with it?" "Uh, sure." "TELEVISION:" "... once desire has taken root..." "Just a second." "I used to be pretty good at this." "Let me just  I want to read for you from the Book of..." "Oh!" "... at the window of my house," "I witnessed among him a youth who lacked judgment..." "What is this?" "An unusual piece." "Where did you get that?" " It's a friend's." " Oh." "Ow!" "Damn it!" "[Dishes, silverware crash to floor]" "Ow!" "Tie this!" "Come here, would you, and tie this!" "Tie it off!" "Come on!" "Give me it!" "[Breathes heavily]" "Um, I actually need to go." "[Engine turns over]" "[Turns over]" "Come on." "[Turns over again]" "[Gasps]" " Is something wrong with your car?" " Yeah, um..." "No." "It's, uh..." " I can just call my friend." " Daddy?" "[Tom Dooley playing on car stereo, motor idling]" "You won't tell, will you?" "I thought you were allergic." "Well we don't always love what's good for us." "Poe called it "the imp of the perverse."" "Take your friend, uh, Jillian." "I bet she's the type of girl runnin' around with all the wrong boys." "The kind of boys that will get her into trouble, you know, give her a reputation." "You still searching for her?" "No." "I kind of gave that up." "She doesn't strike me as the type of person to stay in one place too long." "[Tom Dooley continues]" "You're different." "You have a better sense of self-preservation." "[Sighs] Kids around here just don't have that." "They're just brought up too comfortable, just too safe." "You still, uh, jog on the River Run?" "No." "Not so much." "That's a beautiful trail, the River Run." "You feel like you're the only person left in the world when you're out there." "Do you want me to walk you to the door?" "No, thanks." "All right, then." "I'll just wait here till you get in all right."

" You don't think I'm scared, too?" "I am so fucking scared." "But somebody did this because they're hiding something really horrible." "And my best friend is a part of it." "So that's why I can't quit, you know." "[Sniffs] And that's why you can't quit." "She wasn't my friend." "Yeah, but you're mine." "And I can't do this without you." "[Sighs]" "All right." "All right." "But if I get killed and lose my scholarship, you have to explain to my mom." "Deal." "And one other thing..." "Can you spend the night tonight?" "[Frogs croak outside]" "SARAH:" "[Talking indistinctly]" "JASPER:" "Well, I don't know." "He wouldn't be the first guy to swear after hurting himself." "Well, yeah, but it isn't what he said."

"You wanted me to have it." "Why?" "If you don't tell me and something bad happens to her, it's gonna be your fault." "It was supposed to be a family vacation!" "Have you ever had a secret that you couldn't live with keeping?" "And you think about it so much, you begin to think that people can tell your secret just by looking at you?" "And you begin hoping that it's true, that maybe someone will tell your secret for you and you don't have to?" "Darla, I need more than that." "It was supposed to be a family vacation." "But at the last minute, he had to leave." "Something came up." "I don't know why it made me so mad." "It's the same thing every year."
