"Ah man!" "That was our only ball!" "Why d'you look so scared?" "Look at him..." " I'm not scared!" " Go get it, Taylor!" "You're the new guy, so it's yourjob to get the ball!" " Or are you scared..." " Shut up!" "Look at you!" "You're scared." "You want me to call your mommy?" "Maybe your big sister will get it for you." "It's your ball!" "It's my back too, so get in there before I knock your sorry ass out of the park!" "Come on, looser!" "Get the ball!" "Come on, hurry up!" "It's right here..." "I see it..." "Oh, no." "Guys!" "Come on!" "This isn't funny!" "Open up!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Is there anybody here?" "Help me..." "Leave me alone!" "Leave me alone!" "Help me!" "Open up!" "I'm home!" "Good to see you too." "Ryan, is that you?" "Ryan honey, is that you?" "No, it's robbers." "It'sjust your standard home invasion." "Nothing to worry about here." "You're home late." "How was your day?" "Pull off any cool tricks?" "Ryan, no caffeine." "Remember what the doctor said." " It keeps you up at night." " That's not what keeps me awake." "Ryan, put it back." " How does she know these things?" " Because I'm your mother." "Now get down here so I can take a look at you." "I look the exact same as I did this morning." "Ryan..." "Mom?" "Sorry, sorry, sorry..." "Please, mom!" "You'd think I was coming back from war or something, man." "Most kids would kill for their mothers to give'em this kind of attention." "Yeah, I'm sure." "Can't we be a normal family and switch the light at the top of the stairs?" "Well, that'sjust the way it was when we moved here." "This isn't normal?" "This is a home office." " You're a mess..." " Me?" " Have you looked in the mirror lately?" " That bad?" "You look like you've been down in the mines." "Oh, what time is it?" "Your dad's gonna kill me." "We've got that big party to go to tonight." "Got to clean up." " Hey, kiddo." " Hi." "If you got a second I could use your advice in here, I got a little problem." "Sure." "That light bulb in the living room, it needs replacing." "You know, the one on the left as you come into the hallway." "It made that sound like when there's a fly stuck in it and then it flickered." "Ryan, maybe you should just..." "Son, this whole fear of the dark thing maybe you're getting just a little too old for this, huh?" "You realize I'm gonna have to take a second mortgage on the house just to pay for all these light bulbs..." "Look, I will fix it the first thing tomorrow morning." "I promise." "Alright." "Alright, I will fix it tonight before we leave." "How 'bout that?" " Alright." " Deal." "Good." "You, young man, are one tough negotiator." "I mean it." "You know I've cross examined criminals that cracked before you." "Dad?" "Do you think I can I get a dog?" "You know, like an attack dog." "He could hide under my bed." "I heard that dogs can sense fear." "Dogs and horses..." "What?" "Whoa, whoa, wait." "Haven't we had this conversation?" "You know you're allergic, besides..." "What brought this on?" "I just thought that if Dale was allowed to have a girl in his room..." "I see..." "Well you know son, technically he's not breaking the rule since the rule only applies for when we're not home." "Plus..." "It's her." "No way!" "No way!" " In our house?" " In our house." "Oh my God!" "He talks about her so much I didn't even know if she was real." "What's she like?" "Is she short?" "Is she tall?" "Does she smell?" "What does she look like?" " I've got like a million questions..." " Alright, hold on a second..." "I've already explained to your brother that we were not going to give him any problems, so don't." "So this is what unbridled teenage male angst looks like, huh?" "But I guess your room is all, you know, cheerleading trophies stuffed animals, miniature dollhouses..." "That too." "Sometimes my girlfriends and I have sleepovers they almost always end in pillow fights in negligees." "Nice." "Are you like in a band?" "Unfortunately." "And...?" "And...?" "Aren't you gonna play me something?" "Well, we're kind of in that formative stage we're not actually, you know, playing the songs." "Well, at least you're honest." "My brother used to play the piano." "I used to give it to him, you know..." "Should be outside playing baseball, not inside practicing..." "So one day he went outside..." "I heard about that." "It was a heart attack, right?" "That's what they say." "I'm sorry." "It happens." "You know, I could teach you if you want..." " I don't know." " Come on!" "Alright." "Put your hand right there." "Pinky..." "Hold on tight." "Ready?" "Almost..." "That's a 'G'." "Which is the backbone of any garage band." "And then 1-2, one lower." "1, 2, 3... grope tight." " That's not bad." " Not bad..." "All you need is a little bit of face paint and a impressive light show and it's champagne and groupies from here on out." "Sounds like you've thought about this." "More than you know." "Ryan, if you're not out of here in 3 seconds I'm gonna break your neck." "That's O.K. I have to get to work anyway." "I worry about the domino effect the sheer pandemonium if I miss my shift at the Donut Hole." "Anyways, some of us need realjobs." "We can't rely on the talent in three little fingers." "Just so you know, Ryan, when mom and dad leave... you're dead." "You know, you should be nicer to him..." "I am gonna give you my number just in case he gives you any trouble." "Think I could take him?" "Sure..." "Nice tie, Mr. Billings." "Would you two go already?" "What!" "?" "I'm not gonna have a party or anything." "Don't worry." "Better not." "I wouldn't have time to send out the invitations anyways." "You let this Ryan's condition thing keep you in this house like you're prisoners." "When's the last time you guys went out?" " A month, two months..." " He'sjust a boy." "I know he'sjust a boy, but he's old enough not to be scared of the dark..." "What that doctor say?" "He gets like an hour's sleep a night..." "Of course the kid sees crap." "I mean what would you..." "Sorry." "Anyway, he's border line clinical..." "No wonder the kid's a little loopy." "I mean you would be too if..." "Dr. Ross said that Ryan believes in it one hundred percent." "Yeah, well, I believe aliens crashed in Roswell." "Doesn't necessarily mean it's true." "Anyways, I just don't think it's normal..." "It'sjust not friggin' normal..." "Eric, would you say something?" "Well Dr. Ross did say that we could..." "Don't you dare finish that sentence!" "I will not medicate our son..." "Ever!" "And you just don't let him out of your sight!" "O.K. Understood." "I'll keep him out of the garbage disposal." "That's not funny." "Your brother is more responsibility than you know." "You don't understand, you don't have kids." "Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you guys about that..." "I'm sorry, understood." "I'm out of here." "Holy crap!" " Get out!" " Has mom seen those?" "No she hasn't seen those and she's not going to." "What the hell happened?" "Road rash." "Crashed on my board..." "You don't get something like that from..." "Look, if some kid's giving you trouble at school or something..." "I've been through that." " You can talk to me about anything." " God, Dale, please don't tell mom." "Give me your word you're not gonna tell mom, or dad." "Alright, I won't tell mom or dad." "I promise." "Hey!" "You can talk to me." "I'm your brother." "Can you believe it?" "Finally." "Don't worry about anything tonight." "It's gonna be fine." "What do you think, honey?" "Your old lady still got it?" " Beautiful, as usual." " You look good, mom." "Your father might be up for a big promotion tonight." "Why are you talking about yourself in the third person?" " Do we have another dad?" " I wanna talk to you." "If the lights go out, the back-up lights are in the cabinet in the basement." "Flashlights are in the kitchen cupboard." "Control panel is down in the basement." "Dr. Ross' phone number..." "We're fine." "This is important, you listen." " If you have an outage and you need." " Hey, dad!" "You know, I can hear you." "Alright listen, you call Dr. Ross." "He can help you." "O.K. Go make us some money." "We love you both very much..." "Yup, and we trust you." "We'll be home later okay, Ryan?" "What do we say, honey..." "There's nothing there in the dark that isn't there in the light." "Hey, you silly kids go have a good time." " Have fun!" " Bye, sweetie!" " Did you check if the oven was off?" " Honey, you'rejust stalling." " They're going to be okay, right?" " Yes, they're gonna be." "You wanna know why I know the oven's turned off?" "'Cause you haven't cooked anything in there in weeks." "That's not funny." "So, what do you want to do first?" "Set a fire?" "Flood the place?" "What level are you on?" "Oh yeah..." "That one..." "Smooth..." "They're gonna smell that, you know." "It has all kinds of time to disperse." "They'll be back in a while." "Can I have some?" "No you can't have some, you're too young." "Christ!" "Don't start this either." " You want some ice cream or something?" " Yeah, sprinkles." "Sprinkles cost more, you know that..." " I want your room." " Mine's bigger than yours." "And you want sprinkles." "Your room has like, hardly any light." "You have two big windows that the neighbors can look and watch you change." " No they don't." " Yeah, they do." "Callisters, I heard they take pictures." "Total perverts." "Don't worry about it." "The lights aren't gonna go out." "Just chill!" " What if they do?" " We have flashlights, dude!" "It's not enough." "Listen to me, alright?" "What if I promise to you:" "The lights won't go off?" "What if they do?" "Then I wouldn't be a very good big brother, would I?" "I'll go get your ice cream..." "Just calm down." "Hey!" "You're not gonna leave me here, right?" "What?" "No matter what happens tonight you're not gonna leave me alone, right?" "No." "Besides I don't have a car, you know that." "I heard you." "I heard you in the cellar." "Damn, Ry, you scared the crap out of me." "Come on, the TV's going crazy." " Take it easy..." " Come on!" "I'm coming..." "I don't like it when the lights go out." "Lights always go in and out when there's a storm, you know that." "They always come back on, remember that." "Try not to freak out on me tonight?" "Whatever you do, just don't freak out on me." "No wonder you're scared." "You're watching horror movies all night?" "I wasn't watching it." "Itjust came on." "That's what I said to Mom and Dad when they caught me watching scrambled porn." "It didn't work for me either." "What's the deal with you?" "I mean, you're twelve years old." "You hide under the bed." "You sleep with like 14 nightlights." " When I was 12, I was babysitting." " I'm not a baby." "Alright, but getting scared because you see some zombies on TV that isn't the sign of a man's man." " And you don't get scared?" "Get scared of what?" "Things..." "Things?" "What do you mean by things?" "Just... things..." "You really mean things, don't you?" "Like monsters?" "I don't know." "Well, unless you're a little more specific, I can't really be scared." "The dark things." "The dark things." "Do you have any idea how crazy that sounds?" "Mom and dad werejust..." " Will you quit turning on the TV?" " I'm not!" "Ever heard of a bowl?" "Anymore ice cream, you'll be bouncing off the walls." "Good thing mom and dad aren't here." "Looks like it's getting better outside." "Doesn't look like it." "The more lightning you see the faster the storm's gone, you know that." "Go sit down." "It'sjust a flicker, don't worry about it." "Maybe this'll make you feel better." "Dad paid 500 bucks for this thing." "It's called the Intensor." "Five hundred?" "Figure for that price it should get you around town." "Do your laundry for you." "Can I hang on to it?" "I don't know." "It's got a lot of expensive molecules..." "Please?" "What the hell, whatever." "What was that?" "!" "I don't know." "Probably something falling out of a closet or something." "At worse there's a window open." "It's probably better if we don't watch anymore TV." "Mom said that lightning can travel right through the cable..." " Is that true?" " I don't know." "Could be." " What do you think?" " I don't know." "It sounds possible." "What the hell is that?" "Can someone get in the house?" "Yeah, they could." "But, I mean, that'sjust not what it is." "I don't know, it's probably the house settling." "Mom and dad say it all the time." "They never know what it was but it's probably... house settling." "You know, I saw this movie once where there were these people..." "Dude, what can I do to make you more comfortable?" "Just tell me." "Look's empty." "Check under the bed." "All right..." " What?" " He's got my arm." "Just kidding." "Unless you're scared of a couple of board games and a pair of shoes..." "I don't think you have anything to be worried about..." "What?" "The closet?" "Oh, God." "Hello?" "Looks pretty good..." "Do you think I'm crazy?" "No." "No, I don't think you're crazy." "I think summer camp would do you a lot of good." "Don't worry about it." "Let's go." "It's pretty good." "There's always something in my room." "Check the closet." "Closet... yeah..." "Figures..." "You know what, Ryan?" "Hanging out with you is hazardous to my health, you know that, don't you?" "Ryan?" "Ryan?" "Dale?" "I don't like the thing in my closet." "Wait a minute..." "You were..." "I could have swore..." "I'm getting too old for this stuff..." "You know it'sjust a coat in your closet, right?" "Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't." "Where else d'you wanna look?" "There's only so many places in this house someone could be hiding, right?" "Let's go!" " Feeling any better?" " I'm sorry." " Sorry about what?" " I can't help it." "Itjust..." "You know what thunder is, right?" " God bowling?" " No." "It's God playing drums." "He's in a speed-metal band called "Holy War"." "Pretty good band actually but..." "Hey, lighten up!" " Take it easy!" " The lights went out!" " I know they did." "Just calm down!" " Make the lights come back on!" " I want mom!" " She's not here, Ryan!" "Calm down!" "Jesus, Ry!" "You're getting on my nerves O.K.?" "Nothing's going to happen to you, alright?" "I'm here..." "Oh my God, I heard that!" "Did you hear that?" "I didn't hear anything." "You're acting all crazy." " I am not crazy!" " Just stop it!" "What are you looking at?" "What are you looking at, Ryan?" "Tell me what you're looking at!" "I don't know." "What?" "Ryan, what are you looking at?" "It's the night things." "It's starting..." "Look Ryan, you're scaring the crap out of me!" "Listen!" "Listen!" "There's nothing there in the dark, that's not there in the light." "You always say yes when Mom and Dad say it." "Just listen to me!" "There's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light." "Look!" "Are you alright?" "I thought I was losing you there for a second." " Wait a minute..." " No." "Don't go..." "Why not?" "There's lights up there." "There's not enough light up there at all." "What's there in the dark that's not in the light?" " The Dark!" " The dark's not a thing!" "It's alive!" "Dad bought itjust for this occasion." "When something like this happens, he said there's lights up there." "I'm gonna go get them." "Just hold on to the light." " No, don't go..." " I'll be right back..." "Ry?" "Still down there?" "Ryan!" "I'm locked up here!" "Ryan!" "I know you're there." "I can hear you." "Ryan!" "Ryan, let me down!" "Ry, what are you doing?" "The door is locked!" "Come on!" "Ry!" "What are you doing?" "This isn't fun, Ry, open the door!" "Let me down!" "Ryan, open the door!" "Please!" "Let me down!" "Please, open the door!" "Oh God!" "Dale, are you O.K.?" "I'm sorry!" "That's it, Ryan." "I thought you were being murdered down here..." "Give me that thing!" "You're gonna kill someone with this thing." "I'm sorry, there were... faces..." "I'm serious." "They were right..." "Faces?" "Ry." "Faces?" "Look at me." "You know what, you want this thing back, you go get it." "I got locked up there, right?" "But of course you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" "No!" "Obviously you did it because were the only two people here." "What did you see?" "Nothing." " What are you wearing?" " I feel safer with it on." "Whatever." "Damn!" "If we broke this thing Mom and Dad are gonna be pissed." " We could call Mom and Dad?" " And tell them what?" "That you locked me in the attic, that you almost broke my neck?" "I said I was sorry." "And I didn't lock you the attic." "I can't even reach, Dale!" "There's a ladder, Ry." "O.K.?" "There's a ladder." "I don't like ladders." "They can grab your feet through the openings and pull you through." "And do what?" " Eat you." " Eat you!" "That's what they do." "They, they eat you." "You look like a mental patient at a football game..." "Anything that eats you is gonna die of a nerf overdose so..." "I think you're pretty safe." "Let's go get some food..." "Do you see things in the dark too?" "Yeah, absolutely, I see boxes and lamps, all kind of scary stuff." "You know one time I saw a possum?" "Dale, wait up!" "Man!" "It's like the "Wizard of Oz" outside." "You want a sandwich or a slapshot?" "It's a branch against the window." "Well, if it's not it's something else, right?" "Just do me a favor:" "Close your eyes and count to forty... count sheep." "Do something." "You know, in college, they say this is all you eat." "Peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches." "This kid died from scurvy from not having enough fruits and vegetables." "Hello!" "Have you checked the children?" "Who is it?" "I'm just kidding." "Lighten up..." "Sorry, it'sjust been a really weird night." "Is the power out where you are?" "You sound frazzled, is everything okay?" "If almost getting killed by your brother and getting locked in the attic is fine." "Yeah, I'm great." "Thanks." "Sounds like you've got your hands full..." "D'you fell on the babysitting tree?" "The what?" "I don't know about the attitude but I didn't give him any coffee." "Just one sec." "Is there an union for babysitters?" "I don't think I'm getting paid enough." "It's like the semi-perfect storm out there?" "We've got a bunch of customers camped out here until it subsides." "I'm just worried what's going to happen when all the donuts run out." "Hello." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Weird, the phonejust..." "What's he doing now?" " Ryan, what's going on?" " What's going on?" "He tried to cut me." "Dale, are you still there?" "Hello?" "Guys?" "Could someone please talk to me?" "Dale, is Ryan ok?" " Ryan, you're bleeding everywhere!" " Bleeding?" "Dale, does Ryan need a doctor?" "You gotta believe me." "It came to life, all by itself!" "He cut you pretty good." " Be a man." " It hurts." "The statue." "Don't..." "Ryan, just don't." "No." "Dale, please." "Just tell me what did that." "And don't say you fell off your skateboard." "It's them, the night things." "The creatures?" "They can hurt you, Dale!" "You know, I think sometimes that there's two worlds." "There's the light one and the dark one." "They just switch when there's nobody." "The sun or anything." "We're not alone anymore, Dale." "Wejust can't see the things that are there." "I'm not sick, Dale." "Did you do that to yourself to make us believe you..." "No, Dale, I didn't!" "I'm not crazy o.k.?" "I know what lives in this house..." "I know what lives in that basement and I'm not crazy because I'm right, O.K.?" "Take it easy." "You don't know what it's like, Dale." "I want someone to believe me..." "I need someone to believe me, Dale." "I'm sorry." "Ry, I'm sorry." "It was stupid for me to say that..." "I'm really sorry." "There's no TV and I get stupid like this all the time..." " In the basement." " You don't have to explain yourself." "Just fire me as a brother." "Just call Dad and he'll do the paper work..." "No, I got locked in the basement." "What?" "I don't know how old I was..." "I was young I guess." "Younger." "I was playing with my "Action Team Super Tank" and it fell down the steps." "Remember that." "Mom and Dad told me you had an episode." "So that's about it though..." "That's why I'm scared of the dark, Dale." "It's alive." "Sometimes I get my dreams messed up with being real life too, you know." " That could be it." " No." "That wasn't it, Dale." "So what then, our house is haunted?" "No, not the house." "The dark." "What happens when the batteries give out?" " They won't." " You promise?" " I promise." " D'you mean it?" "Look, there's floodlights in the front yard they run off a generator downstairs right next to the circuit breaker." "Mom and Dad told me not to use it unless there's an earthquake but..." "No, don't go back into the basement, please..." "Why not?" "I've been through the entire school system and no one's ever beaten me up." "Do I look scared?" "Exactly." "You believe me, don't you?" "Sean Tate got you pretty good back in sixth grade." "Sean Tate fought dirty." "He threw mud and he bit me." "What was that?" " Nothing." " Dale, come on." "What was that?" "Nothing." "Let'sjust go to the neighbors..." "They're gone, it's Friday night." "Besides, we're not getting driven out of our house because we're hearing noises." "Dale?" "What's going on?" "Oh my God!" "What the hell is going on?" "Something moved the furniture." "It wasn't like this, Dale!" "Look, we've been in here too long." "It'sjust our imagina..." " It moved back." " No." "It didn't move at all." "It'sjust our imagination." "Dale, no, we have to call Mom and Dad." "No!" "The lines are out, Ry." "No way..." "Oh my God!" "Could swear I saw something." "Down on Mom and Dad's room?" "It's probably nothing though." "You know, I'm gonna go check though." "A baseball bat." "Can't be too careful." "Trust me." "Whatever." "Let's go bag us a bogeyman." " Wait a minute!" " What?" "Footprints." "There'd be footprints on the ground." "If someone was up here, there would be footprints on the ground 'cause they would have been outside." "What if they were in here the whole time?" "What the hell is that?" "Damn it Ryan, did you go at the walls with something?" "I didn't do that..." "That definitely wasn't there." "You obviously did that with something." "I'm not that tall, Dale..." "Dad just finished painting this room." "He's gonna be pissed." "Look!" "I'm gonna go get the door." "Dalejust..." "I'll be right back!" "I'm gonna go everything is gonna be fine." "Just stay here." "I'll be right back." "What the hell is going on?" "Oh God!" "Dale!" "Oh my God!" "Dale!" "Help!" "Snap out of it!" "Ry?" "There's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light..." "It's me!" "It's me, it's Dale!" "Ryan, it's me!" "Look at me!" "Are you O.K.?" "Are you O.K.?" "Ry!" "Hey, Ry!" " It's hot under here." " You saw it, Dale!" "No, I didn't!" "The night-things, they were right there." "I saw them." "And you saw them." "You're more comfortable under here?" "Nothing can get you as long as you're under the covers." "Tuck your feet in." " Why?" " Because they can get your feet." "Sorry..." "Dad's got some pretty ugly ties, huh?" " The flashing light on them..." " Dale, you saw them..." "I didn't see anything!" "I haven't seen anything but darkness and lightning for the past four hours!" "We'rejust a little stir crazy right now..." " I don't like this room." " You know what?" "I've seen pretty weird stuff tonight, but I'm not freaking out about it 'cause it'sjust my imagination." "And it'sjust your imagination too." "You know what, you don't help out a bit..." "I swear to God what you frigging have is contagious." "They're pale, like they've never been on a beach or even outside." "What?" "They're tall, and thin and white." "Like Dracula." "But sometimes they're black." "Like a cowboy but with a big long black coat." "And a hat." "Those guys smile, Dale." "With teeth." " I've never seen them." " Because you don't want to!" "Look, Ry!" "I'm scared too." "I hate storms, I hate blackouts, I hate all of this." "Just bear with me." "I'm trying here..." "Please!" " Quiet!" " What?" "They know we're here." "This, right here, is what it's like for me, every single night." "They walk around, looking for a part of me that's not under the bed or under the covers." "I keep everything tucked in, Dale." "Everything." "Who is it?" " Who's there?" " It's the night things." "It's the wind!" "It'sjust a draft or..." "Just don't talk, don't even breathe." "What if we're dreaming?" "What if this is ajust a nightmare, that's gotta be what it is..." " No, it's not." " Then what is outside the covers?" " Don't talk." "Don't..." " I'm getting out of here." "I'm gonna get out there and there's gonna be nothing!" " It'll be nothing, I promise you." " No!" "Dale, we both see it." "No!" "We don't see anything!" "Maybe you do, but I don't." "I'm gonna get out there and there won't be anything!" "There's gonna be something." " We have to face it." " It doesn't care how brave you are." "Don't you answer the door?" "God!" "You scared me!" "Hi!" "Crazy storm we've been having." "Hey!" "Lucky I didn't take a swing at you." "Actually, you're lucky." "Hey, chief!" " What's all this?" " Protection." "Protection." "Against what?" "Monsters." "Monsters." "You mean like the kind that hide under your bed and your closet?" "Yeah..." "Well, protection's a really good idea." "I mean, did you make all this?" "I also made some traps and there's like panic stations through out the house you know just in case..." " Really!" "Well, maybe you could help me because..." "I've actually been having a problem with a monster in my room for a few years..." "Really?" "You could show me how to work some of this stuff." "What do you say?" "Sure, why not." "Great!" "Let's go!" "Alright." "Look at this place." "So you must think I'm pretty weird!" "What!" "Why?" "'Cause I'm scared." "No." "I think you're exhausted not weird." "Being afraid is pretty normal." "So what are you afraid of?" "Me?" "Failure I guess..." "No, not grown up stuff..." "Well, one time my younger brother and I were fooling around in this old barn we were attacked by wild dogs..." "Gosh... it was terrifying..." "All I remember were these teeth and eyes..." "I still have scars..." "So I guess that's what I'm afraid of:" "Dogs." "Really?" "It's pretty dumb, huh?" "I don't like being afraid." "Did you ever think that maybe it's your belief in these things that gives them their power over you?" "And it works both ways..." "What if you believe that they couldn't hurt you?" "Would you still be afraid?" "Maybe fear is the key." "Maybe the more scared you are the stronger they get." "All you have to do is try to stop being scared and maybe they'll go away..." "And you're the only person who can stop it." "I don't know..." "I think you're probably one of the bravest people I've ever met." "Having to deal with this stuff every night..." "All alone..." "Heck, you're my hero!" "Will you stay with me, even after I've fallen asleep?" "Promise?" "I cross my heart!" "Anyways..." "You have to get on your P.J.'s..." " What'd I miss?" " Not much." "He's out." "You know, he's a pretty sweet kid." "You're good with him." "I was listening." "I'm sorry." "That's O.K." "You think this family is a little bit too weird for words?" "You've got a little boy who wants to believe so much in the world around him and an older brother who'd do anything for that boy..." "Including embarrass himself in front of a girl..." "I could've that one down am I." "Seriously though..." "I saw some stuff tonight, I mean..." "Notjust your ordinary, you know, bumps and grinds in the house..." "It wasn't normal what I saw tonight." "Kind of hard to explain..." "All that boy wants is to be normal..." "I mean think about it." "He's seeing stuff and everyone is telling him he's not." "Every time he goes to tell someone they say he's wrong and that he shouldn't be feeling what he's feeling." "Pretty soon, he's not gonna tell anyone." "He'sjust gonna deal with it on his own terms..." "You're like the resident expert?" "Sorry..." "It'sjust that you're right." "And I just don't know why." "It's not your fault." "Believe me it's woven into the very fabric of our society for example..." ""Alice in Wonderland", our most popular folklore is based on an acid trip..." "Ring around the rosie, the bubonic plague, Grimm's fairy tales child eating witches and poisoned apples..." "Even rock a bye baby ends with the baby crashing to the ground." "I'm not even saying anything about the prayer we're supposed to say before we go to bed at night:" ""If I die before I wake..."" "Na, that's not very reassuring stuff..." "Ryan!" "Open up the door!" "I'm gonna go to the generator." "It's downstairs." "Take care of him." "I'll be right back." "Ryan, there's nothing there!" "You don't have to be afraid." "You have to believe me, there's nothing there!" "No!" "Come on!" "I'm getting right back!" "Damn it!" "Who is it?" "Come on..." "Yes!" "Darn it!" "Hello?" "Are you O.K.?" " Are you sure?" " Yes, I'm fine!" "Come on, we have to go get Dale!" "Hello?" " No, we have to leave!" " What are you doing?" " Don't you hear them?" " No!" "I have to help Dale!" "I have to help Dale!" "Don't leave me..." "There's bugs everywhere!" "Nothing in the dark, that's not there in the light!" "Nothing!" "Oh God, Dale!" "There's nothing in the dark, that's not there in the light!" "You know that!" "You can fight this!" "Be right there!" "Dale!" "It's gonna be alright." "God, Dale!" "Are you alright?" "Are you ok, Dale?" " What happened to your leg?" " My knee!" "It's over though!" " It's over though!" " We beat it!" "It's Mom and Dad!" "Go get them." "Are you O.K.?" "I was really worried!" "About you..." "You need anything else?" "No." "Thanks though..." "What exactly were you two doing anyway?" "I don't know, just running around." "Don't you think you're a little old for that?" "You know, Dad, he was he wasjust trying to keep an eye on me." "And how are you?" "How d'you do with the blackout?" "You know, I was, I was ok." "You want to talk to anybody?" "No." "Pretty good." "You know, when I fell down the stairs, hejust he was down there in a second." "Lights out and everything." "Was pretty impressed." "You realize when you up and out again, you're grounded." "What?" "!" "You can't have girls over here when we're not at home." "God Mom, I didn't even invite her!" "Shejust came over." "Oh!" "Sure..." "This is what I get for blowing my knee out!" "This is fantastic!" "When you're better..." "You get some rest, champ." "I wanna talk about this tomorrow." "I look forward to it." "Good night." "Get to sleep." "We're gonna be O.K., right?" "We're gonna be fine." "D'you promise?" "Promise." "It's good, 'cause then I won't have to fire you as a big brother." "Thanks for giving me a second chance." "Will you keep the lights on?" "Dale, there's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light..." "You know that." "There's nothing there in the dark, that's not there in the light."
