"Stick with the encyclopaedia." "Got you where you are." "(Laughing)" "GIRL:" "I mean, don't get me wrong." "Sandy's a cool chick." "But it's not like you're gonna marry her." "You're not gonna marry her, are you?" "I haven't thought about what I'm doing next week, never mind the rest of my life." "Well, you better figure it out, 'cause I'm sure as shit Sandy has." "And you can bet your ass her parents have some pretty strong opinions on the subject." "And what's that supposed to mean?" "Just that they probably don't want their perfect little princess banging the big, bad wolf." "I'm not banging her, Lex, I'm dating her." "Faithfully." "All right." "Next year, when she's at Stanford, and you're slumming it at State," "I give your two months before she finds some pre-med, and you meet the entire cheerleading squad." "Oh, yeah?" "What about you and TJ?" "I wanna show you something." "Subtle." "Gotta love it, right?" "Does that wash off?" "Chad?" "What is it?" "You gotta go." "Layla's here." "Wait." "What?"

"Little early for beer, isn't it?" "Can you put it with the others?" "Scholarships don't come along every day, Jake." "True, dude." "More like, every other day." "One day, they just stop coming." "Believe me." "Hey, Daddy." "You coming to the graduation party tonight?" "God, I hope not." "TJ, do me a favour?" "Keep things under control, will you?" "Be really embarrassing to bust my own family." "Rated G. PG, at the worst." "Uh-uh." "(Laughing)" "It's rare to find students so qualified in the same school, never mind the same family." "Thank you, sir." "May your future be as bright as your past." "Here, here." "Well, after college, I'd like to become a doctor just like you." "Then we'll be colleagues some day." "Eli wants to be a doctor too." "Don't you, Eli?" "Uh, well, no, actually." "I was looking" "Actually, my little brother wants to become a pirate." "(Laughing) What?" "No." "I don't" "I don't wanna become a pirate." "That's fictional." "Well, anyone that becomes valedictorian after skipping a grade can do whatever he wants." "Well, thank you." "Thank you very much, sir." "You must be very proud." "We are." "Then you'll be even more proud to learn that I'm recommending both Sandy and Eli for full academic scholarship." "(Gasping)" "Oh!" "Just consider it a graduation present, for your parents." "Who's going to Stanford?" "We are!" "Yeah, we are." "Well, enough of that boring stuff." "What are you two gonna get into this summer?"

"No." "Like..." "I really wish I was a pirate." "(Laughing)" "You're so random." "No, seriously." "Think about it." "Like, think about it." "I can be a pirate, just sail the world, have a parrot." "Brandish a sword." "Learn to rip a bodice." "Sounds hot." "What's a bodice?" "Hey, there's my girl." "Hey, baby." "Wasn't sure what you wanted, so I got vodka or rum." "How about both?" "Both?" "Easy." "Whoa, whoa." "What are you?" "Irish?" "My mom thinks I'm staying at Hannah's tonight." "Then I'm getting you a second round." "Hey." "Come here." "I love you." "I love you too." "Oh, baby, you are so goddamn hot." "Yeah, and don't you forget it." "Oh, if you ever cheat on me," "I swear to God, I'll kill the guy." "Don't worry, baby." "I don't want anybody else."

"Oh, uh" "A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell." "What's that got to do with you?" "Spill it, fish vag." "(Laughing)" "Fine." "Your mom, last night." "(Laughing)" "Dude, you know no one talks about my mother." "Eli, if you want to make fun of Chad, just ask him about the tranny in Tijuana." "(Laughing)" "I want to hear about Sandy." "You know, some things are just so memorable, they should never be discussed." "Aww" "But my first kiss, now, that was pretty hot." "Boring!" "Wait, wait." "I wanna hear." "Okay." "Well, it was in the graveyard." "You remember?" "I remember." "We were playing the game." "I was there." "Mm-hm." "We were all there." "Oh, yeah, the game." "That was the funnest." "I was so scared." "Surrounded by all those dead bodies." "It was so quiet." "I was the last one left, and you were all out there looking for me, hunting me." "My heart was pounding, knowing that any second, someone was gonna jump out and grab me." "Uh, I didn't know whether I was gonna have a heart attack, or an orgasm." "Oh, God, that sounds so hot." "I'm hot." "And wet." "Grab the booze." "Grab the booze!" "(All yelling)" "Oh, my God!" "What?" "!" "What?" "!" "Who wins!" "?" "Who wins?" "!" "Chad wins!"

"What?" "What happened?" "What happened?" "The girl, she just jumped off the cliff." "MAN:" "We've been over every inch of ground down there, and I'm telling you, there's no girl."

"Look, uh, there's nothing down there." "Thank God." "But Sandy saw her jump." "I know." "I know, that's why we're here." "That's why we're gonna stay here until I know everybody's safe." "So, what do we do?" "Keep looking for her." "You, you can take her home." "And don't worry." "If she's here, we're gonna find her." "She's dead, isn't she?" "Sandy, nobody's dead." "I saw her jump."

"Sister Dolores says that if my faith is strong enough," "I can have all the friends I want." "But I only want you." "Best friends?" "Friends forever." "Good morning." "We should leave." "Do we have to?" "Stop it." "Doesn't feel like you want me to stop." "What's the matter with you?" "You okay, baby?" "I think we should break up." "What?" "Why?" "I'm over it." "Why?"

"You heard, she lives at the convent." "Yeah, not exactly what I had in mind for Saturday night." "See ya." "You can't leave, we have to stay together." "And do what?" "Break into a freakin' convent?" "No thanks." "Are you trying to get arrested?" "'Cause then we should just go back inside." "We have bigger problems than being arrested." "HANNAH:" "Yeah, you got that right." "I'm talking about Angela Smith, okay?" "That's it, I'm going home." "Bye." "You're gonna die!" "That's not cool." "Which is it, Sandy?" "You wanna have a good time, or you wanna act like a crazy person?" "'Cause I'm not going." "Please, Hannah." "I'm begging you." "ELI:" "Maybe we should just go home." "Can't do that." "'Cause this asshole's gonna be there waiting for me." "What about our house?" "Right." "With her like this?" "Who's gonna get the blame for that?" "Not you guys." "Jake, you don't understand." "I don't understand." "I don't understand what's going on," "I don't understand what you want from me, or what the hell's going on with this convent or this goddamn girl." "I don't understand any of it." "But if it's that important to you," "I'll go." "We'll all go." "Not tonight, but tomorrow morning." "We have to stay together, then." "Then we'll stay together." "All of us." "Anybody out there?" "You know, 'cause if there is..." "I'm ready." "I'll take them." "Seriously, though." "Whatever it is, I got your back." "You know that, right?" "Do you believe me, Eli?" "(Sighing)" "I believe that you believe it, and that's good enough for me." "I didn't really wanna go to the mountains anyway." "I did." "Actually, I was really looking forward to it." "Really?" "Eli?" "What?" "No dirtbags around?" "Oh, Jake." "Just you." "And you're taken." "Here, give this to Sandy." "I don't know, Hannah." "Oh, come on." "She needs to sleep." "Hey, Eli." "Come here a sec." "Not exactly how we planned to spend the night, is it?" "Do you remember last fall, when the scouts were all over me, and I was stressed out of my mind?" "Yeah." "I thought I was going crazy." "But the night before State, you showed up with a bottle of wine and blankets, and what'd we do?" "Do you remember?" "We laughed out on the roof and" "Fell asleep watching the stars." "You showed me the best thing I could do was just forget about everything, just for a little bit." "You were right." "You lost the game, Jake." "But I played great." "Is it me?" "Did I do something wrong?" "No." "I know I'm not what your parents want." "But I need to know if I'm what you want." "You are who I want, Jake." "I love you." "I love you too." "Whoa, she's really out." "Thank God." "Who needs a beer?" "Oh, me." "Um, I'm gonna check out the pool." "Eli?" "Um" "Oh, come on." "Walk me." "Make sure I'm safe." "I mean, we're all supposed to stay together" "I'll keep an eye on her." "It's okay." "You sure?" "Oh, yeah." "Absolutely." "Okay, just a sec." "I'm sure you know what you're doing." "Doing" "What do you mean?" "Someone showed me this once." "What are you doing?" "Is that" " Is that a vagina?" "Consider this... the keys to the kingdom." "Looks like a treasure map." "Well, sailor, if you follow the arrows, a glorious bounty awaits." "That'll work?" "Only one way to find out." "Ready?" "Oh, yeah." "He's ready." "Whoo!" "Shit, Hannah!" "Fuck!" "It's cold." "That's 'cause you're all the way over there." "What if she's right?" "What if we're in some kind of physical or metaphysical danger?" "Then we don't have any time to waste." "I'm serious." "So am I." "I'm gonna move a bit closer, okay?" "How come you never asked me out, Eli?" "Uh, you always had a boyfriend." "I would've said "Yes."" "You seemed to always be into guys that were different from me." "Can you forgive me?" "I forgive you." "(Moaning)" "CHAD:" "It's gonna be awesome, man." "Yeah!" "Here, put this in your pocket." "Hey, and don't let her see it." "What's wrong?" "Maybe she's a big loser, like her friend." "I'm not a loser." "Sandy, I don't feel so good." "Come on, Sandy." "This was your idea." "Yeah, I mean, what's the big deal?" "We're gonna be late for dinner." "You wuss." "Everybody, shut up." "We're doing this, got it?" "Give me the paint." "Oh, yeah!" "Yeah!" "Sandy, easy, easy." "Easy." "It's okay." "Sandy." "Wow." "Where did you learn that?" "Whatever that was." "Um, a gentleman never tells." "Well, a gentleman would never do that either." "Where are you going?" "Oh, to get us some drinks, give you a chance to recharge." "Oh, let me guess, this is where you disappear and leave me cold and alone?" "Cold, yes." "Alone, not a chance." "Just so you don't forget." "It's okay." "Sandy, Jesus Christ." "Sandy." "(Rustling)" "Eli?" "Hey." "Oh, geez." "Sorry, you scared me." "You see that sign?" "You break your neck, we ain't accountable." "Sorry." "Oh, creep." "Sandy." "Sandy." "Sandy." "Sandy, Sandy." "Easy, Sandy." "Calm down." "Eli, come here." "Help me out." "She's gonna hurt herself." "Hold her down." "(Struggling)" "Hold her legs, hold her legs." "(Rustling)" "I saw that, mister." "I know you're there, asshole." "Listen, perv, don't make me call the" "(Screaming)" "(Howling)" "(Screaming)" "Eli!" "Please, help!" "(Screaming)" "(Rustling)" "This isn't real." "This isn't real, this isn't real." "Please." "Please, go away." "Please, go away." "(Rustling)" "(Screaming)" "(Screaming)" "Hey, there's my girl." "Wasn't sure if you wanted vodka or rum." "Where's my brother?" "(Phone ringing)" "Hello?" "ELI:" "Sandy, where the hell are you?" "Eli, are you okay?" "No." "Look, Mom and Dad are all over me." "I can't cover for you anymore." "Is Hannah with you?" "What?" "Meet me at the convent, okay?" "Sandy, just come home." "Sheriff Mitchell stopped by the house." "Please, meet me there." "I thought we were in a hurry." "(Knocking on door)" "May I help you?" "I'm sorry to bother you" "I'm Sandy Channing, and this is my friend" "Jake Mitchell." "The quarterback." "Uh, yes, ma'am." "Father Michael and I, we listen to all the games, on the hi-fi." "I'm Sister Dolores." "Please, come in." "I'm sorry, Sister, I know it's late." "What can I do for you?" "We're here because of Angela Smith." "How do you know her?" "I used to know her when I was little." "Of course." "Sister, Sandy's just concerned." "Is Angela here?" "Oh, I wish she was, but it's just not practical." "I'm sure you understand." "Do you know where she might be?" "At St. Mary's Hospital." "They're quite wonderful there." "Is she hurt?" "Angela is in a coma." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I assumed you knew." "A coma?" "Well, thank you for your time." "Well, I could show you her room." "I've kept her room just as she left it." "Her doctors say that her condition is permanent, but, well, one hopes." "Oh, well, the girls' floor" "Mr. Mitchell can wait down here on the boys' floor." "Can't he come with me?" "I'll be fine." "I'll stay here on the boys' floor." "Please, come in, come in." "BOTH:" "Eleven comes, the clocks will chime, forgotten souls, erased by time." "Girls." "Girls!" "Game time is over." "Run along, say your prayers." "I'll be there to tuck you in in a moment." "Little rhyme I teach the children." "It helps to keep the nightmares at bay." "Do you believe in the devil, Mr. Mitchell?" "Um, no, not really." "Well, spend some time with these little monsters, you'll believe." "So this is Angela's room?" "This was a week before it happened." "Six years ago, this June." "How is that possible?" "Oh, I ask the Lord that every day." "Doctors blame genetics, but I don't know." "She was small, and weaker than the other children." "But I had faith that God would protect her." "Angela believed in her own kind of protection." "An angel." "Faith is all-powerful." "If one truly believes in something, one will make it come true." "Of course, we have to be careful what we choose to believe in." "GIRL:" "Sister Dolores." "Oh, duty calls." "Forgive me." "I'll be right back." "Hey, you play any football?" "Do I play football?" "Toss it here, kid." "You see this arm?" "In Jefferson County, it's worth more than your life." "Nice arm, for a girl." "Oh, hey!" "Kid." "Hey, kid." "(Crinkling)" "You've gotta be kidding me." "Hey, kid, I've got your ball." "Sneaky little bastard." "What are you doing?" "Did you know about these?" "What are they?" "Why would she draw these?" "Those can't be Angela's." "¶" "Just in case." "(Rattling)" "Hey, kid, is that you?" "What is this thing?" "I don't know." "Well, whatever it is, it's real." "Jake." "¶" "Jake!" "Jake!" "(Rustling)" "Jake, get out!" "Get out!" "Jake!" "Oh, my God." "No!" "Jake!" "¶" "Jake!" "¶" "What in God's name..." "Who are you?" "(Screaming)" "He's gone." "What?" "Jake." "Wait." "What happened?" "Are you okay?" "It's too late." "It's too late." "I couldn't save him." "What?" "Look at this." "I don't-- I don't understand." "What's going on?" "It's the ghost." "Ghost?" "What ghost?" "What are you talking about?" "From the game!" "Who are you?" "You're not Angela's friend." "Let's go." "What do you want from her?" "She suffered enough!" "You get out of here!" "Leave the poor girl in peace!" "God sees you, Miss Channing!" "God sees everything!" "Jake!" "(Sobbing)" "Who was that lady?" "And what the hell were you doing out here in the middle of the freaking night?" "It doesn't matter anymore." "They're all gone, it's over." "Sandy, nobody knows where you've been." "If you're in some kind of trouble, you can talk to me." "It doesn't matter anymore, Eli." "Nothing matters." "Stop saying that." "Sandy, it matters to me." "You're my sister, okay?" "If something's going on, please tell me, so I can help you." "You can trust me." "You know that, right?" "I need you to listen to me, okay?" "And I need you to know that I love you, and I would never lie to you, ever." "But what I'm about to tell you is gonna sound like the craziest thing in the world, because it is." "And I know you're not gonna believe me, because nobody believes me, but I need you to believe me." "Okay." "I'm listening, I'm listening." "When we were little, we used to play a game." "You remember?" "In the graveyard?" "There was a girl, an orphan." "Her name was Angela." "Okay." "Well, last night, we played the game again." "We weren't alone." "Six people were with us, Eli." "Six of our friends." "And I know you don't remember them, but they were there, and now they're gone." "What do you mean, gone?" "Something" "This thing took them." "And this thing is connected to Angela and the game?" "It has to be." "I knew you wouldn't believe me." "I believe you." "I believe you." "Why would you make it up?" "I wouldn't." "(Engine starting)" "Okay." "Okay, all right" "Let's figure this out." "The game." "What are the rules of the game?" "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven." "Release the one ignored by heaven." ""The one."" "That's Angela, right?" "Eight, nine, ten, now run and hide, or join her at the devil's side." "Okay." "That's obvious and horrible." "Eleven comes, the clocks will chime, forgotten souls, erased by time." "Oh, my God." "That's it. "Erased."" "Okay, that's it." ""Erased by time."" "That makes sense now." "Okay, it doesn't make any sense at all, but I think I know why." "People are gone." "People I knew?" "You didn't just know them, Eli, they were your best friends." "And now, one by one, they've been" "Erased." "Yeah." "All right, so how does it end?" "Midnight comes-- It's not too late," "BOTH:" "So kill the ghost, or seal your fate." "Oh, my God." "She's still alive." "Angela's still alive." "What does that mean?" "What does that mean?" "It means, she has to die." "Who has to die?" "Hello, Sandy." "Wait, what's going on?" "Dad?" "We've been really worried about you." "Step aside, son." "Hey." "No, no." "Sit down, son." "What are you-- MOM:" "You're sick, honey." "No, I'm not." "She didn't do anything wrong." "We know, sweetheart." "She just needs some help." "Come on, Sandy." "No, no, no." "You're not going anywhere." "All right." "Sit down." "Let go!" "No!" "Please, no!" "(Crying)" "Sandy!" "No!" "It's gonna be okay, honey." "MAN:" "You'll be back to normal in no time, Sandy." "You'll be back to normal in no time." "ELI:" "Sandy!" "We're gonna take very good care of you, Miss Channing." "ELI:" "Sandy, I'm here." "I'm right here." "Step aside." "(Screaming)" "For Christ's sake, somebody hold her down." "Sandy, tell me what to do." "So kill the ghost, or seal your fate!" "What's she saying?" "!" "Kill her?" "Kill her!" "You can't go any further." "No." "No." "I'll do it." "Sandy, I'll do it." "¶" "(Rustling)" "Midnight." "(Screaming)" "Let me go!" "Where's Eli?" "What's she saying?" "Who's Eli, honey?" "Is Eli one of her friends?" "Sandy doesn't have any friends." "MOM:" "Go to sleep, honey." "We'll be here when you wake up." "Angela Smith." "That's strange." "Angela Smith is a patient here." "Hi." "I thought we could play the game." "Who's playing?" "Just us." "Okay." "I'm sorry about last time." "It's getting late." "We should probably" "Maybe we shouldn't play." "No, I want to play." "Wait, uh, who's the ghost?" "You are." "BOTH One, two, three, four, five, six, seven." "Release the one ignored by heaven." "(Screaming)" "Angela, run!" "Go!" "(Screaming)" "Help!" "Angela, help me!" "No!" "No!" "Sandy!" "Sandy?" "Midnight." "(Breathing heavily)" "(Yelling)" "CHAD:" "Yo, look at that shit!" "Angela?" "Oh!" "Who did this?" "!" "¶" "(Heart monitor beeping)" "I know what I've done." "I also know what you've done." "(Flipping switch)" "(Continuous tone)" "¶" "(Screaming)" "¶" "Help me!" "(Screaming)" "(Screaming)" "(Screaming)" "Wanna play a game?" "Angela." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven." "Please stop." "Please." "Release the one ignored by heaven." "Stop, please." "Eight, nine, ten, now run and hide, or join her at the devil's side." "I remember you." "I remember everything." "Eleven comes, the clocks will chime, forgotten souls, erased by time." "I'm so sorry." "Midnight comes, it's not too late, so kill the ghost, or seal your fate!" "Please." "I was your best friend." "All I wanted was you." "I'll never forget you." "I promise." "Friends forever." "Right, Sandy?" "!" "(Screaming)" "(Flatlining tone)" "(Heart monitor beeping)" "Well, look at you." "It's a miracle."
