"Ain't gonna go, Austin." "Changed my mind." "She's a witch." "She ain't no witch, Donnie." "Ain't nothing up there, but a stupid old lady... who likes to give presents to kids." "Everybody says she don't want people seeing her... on account of that disease made her ugly." "You go up there, I'm telling Pa." "Pa ain't gonna let us keep no bicycle." "Fine, if you're such a fraidy cat, then stay here." "Hello, Ms. Craven?" "It's Austin Carter, from down the road." "You left me a letter." "I'm here for the bicycle." "Are you alone?" "Does anybody know you came?" "It has to be a secret." "All alone, ma'am." "Nobody knows." "Nothing to be afraid of." "A trade's a trade." "Tooth first... then a shiny new bicycle." "It's okay, child." "Just the wind." "Where are you?" "I can't see you." "Step to the parlor." "No need to see me, child." "Where's the bike?" "I came because of the bicycle." "I must have my tooth first." "A bargain is a bargain." "But it ain't come out yet." "There's a string on the table there." "Tie it 'round your tooth." "We'll pull it out." "I ain't doing this 'less I see the bike first." "I wouldn't lie, child." "The bike's right here." "Wow!" "A Schwinn." "She's a beaut." "I must have my tooth first." "I've done this many times." "The last tooth is always the easiest." "Are we ready?" "Now close your eyes and get your prize." "CAMPBELL INN BED AND BREAKFAST" "Well..." "It's about time." "Yeah, sorry that took so long, Peter." "They ran out of hydrangeas over at Sherman's Outdoors... so I had to drive all the way over to Twin Oaks." "We got a lot to do before July first." "I couldn't do without you, Bobby." "All the kids I hired me the job are just finding some shade." "I appreciate all your hard work." "I have been looking at that antique chipper thing in the woodshed." "Yeah. well." "Y'know I'm thinking of having that thing carted out of there." "It's a piece of junk." "I think I could fix it." "Pretty good with engines." "Threw a new battery in it this morning." "Just looks like it needs a lube." "Maybe after dinner, I could see if I could get it running." "I could use it shred all that underbrush we've been cutting outta there... instead of hauling all on out of here by truck." "Alright, well, give it a shot." "Where the hell are they?" "Hey!" "Pam-bam, look at this map and see if you can find River Bend Road." "I could use a little help, Pammy." "I'm in East Oz here." "Nothing looks like the map." " Can I ask you a question?" " Never stopped you before." "I think I'm going back to "Pamela"." ""Pammy" seems so..." "so lower school." "I thought you hated "Pamela"." "I know you like pet names like "Pam-bam" and "Pammy"... but now that I'm ten and a half, I think I'm a bit too old for that." "I love the name "Pamela"." "That's why dad and I picked it." "Then, it's settled." "So, Pamela, you see this road on that map?" "I'm really pretty lost here." "Why don't you ask at that station?" "You said you needed gas." "Okay." "Hello?" "Please little help out here!" "We need some directions." "Need some directions?" "We're lost." "Get the hell out of that garage." "Leave her be." "She don't talk to strangers." " I'm.." "I'm looking for River Bend Road." " You ain't gonna find it in there." " Watcha gonna do, Chuck?" " Shut up, Henry." "This map you got is as useless as tits on fore-truck." "Now, get on outta there." "Leave her be." "I ain't gonna say it twice." "I'm looking for a new bed and breakfast inn, just outside of Constitution." "Should be near River Bend Road." "That's what Peter said." " Son of a bitch!" "Right, Chuck?" " Shut up, Henry." "This Peter guy isn't by any chance Peter "Step on my Dick" Campbell?" " I'm sorry What?" " What kind of business you got with that melted down piece of shit?" "Here's a fact of life, missy." "When you hang with shit, you smell like shit." "Excuse me, but I won't appreciate that kind of language." " Pammy, we're leaving!" " What are we gonna do, Chuck?" "Pammy!" " Pammy!" " It's "Pamela", mom." "Remember?" "Come on, honey." "Come on." " Hey you ain't paid for your gas." " Yeah!" "Ain't paid!" "Is she Peter Campbell?" "Is that raised on concrete motherfucker you're good for nothing pa?" " My daddy's dead." " Get in the car, honey." " Let me go!" " Because of your boyfriend Peter... the Chamber of Commerce had threat to fuck over our property." "He thinks this is over, but this ain't never gonna be over." " There's bad shit coming." " Get off me!" " Leave my mommy alone!" " What are you gonna do, Chuck?" "You're gonna run around back and pull down her panties?" "Can I have seconds?" "Depends on how..." " Get off me!" " she is when I'm through." " Get off me!" "Damn!" "Get off me!" "Get her!" "Goddammit!" "This ain't over!" "Finally." "He-hey!" "Are those my girls?" "Would you give me a hand with this, uh, suitcase?" "Got a lot of stuff." "Excuse me, but, you know, we're not open yet." "Doug Freeman, at the bank, said July 1 but I..." "I let my place in town go and figured what's 6 or 7 days in the course of a lifetime." "I'm.." "I'm Star Roberts;" "I'm leasing a room." "I'm sorry, I thought your name was "Stephanie"." "Oh, it is Stephanie." "Stephanie Thorne Amanda Roberts." "S-T-A-R. "Star"." "Get it?" "Yeah." "You know Mr. Freeman told me you were going to Veterinary school... down in Twin Oaks and you'd be leasing a room only on the weekends." "He also said that you were his, uhm, niece." "Yeah." "All that's true." "Except for the niece part." "I used to dance on the Greased Monkey in town... and Mr. Freeman was a happy hour regular... but, uh, I've saved up enough to retire from showbiz, so..." "I'm going to Veterinary College." "New worlds to conquer, you know?" "Sure." "Yeah, I hope me coming a week early isn't gonna a big inconvenience." "We had a lease, so, we'll make it work." " Thank you, you're a doll." " Sure." "Love it here." "Hey..." "look at those little guys." "I think they're called, uh, Ruby-throated Archilochus colubris... but hummingbirds have to eat four times their weight in food everyday... to just have enough energy to fly like that." "I'm taking aviary species first semester." "I gotta jump start this summer and read my text books." " Sure." " I love it." "Hey, Mr. C., where do you want the rest of these flower..whoa." "Bobby Boulet, meet Stephanie Roberts." "Hey!" " Whoa, sorry." " He's been helping me fix the place up." "Call me "Star"." "Alright, Bobby, you can close your mouth, now... and maybe, help Star with her bags?" "Got it." "Your room is just up there on the..." "the left." " Great, thanks." " Okay." "Mr. C., she's a hottie." "I'm telling you, if that's your first tenant you hit the *jackpot." " Just keep it in your pants." " Yeah." "I missed you!" "Okay, so... what do you think?" "It's so big." "It is big." "Y'know it's a little run down, but I think it's getting there." " Why don't you go and check it out?" " Okay." " Hi." " Hello." "I was a little worried about you." "You said 10 o'clock, it is almost...1." "We got lost." "Oy, talk about your fixer-upper." "It's not as bad as it looks." "Believe me, it's a whole lot better than it was." "Your gas cap's off." " Darc, what happened?" " I'm still shaking." "I pulled into a gas station 10 miles back... to Bubba's who looked like extras from "Deliverance" run the place." "The minute I mentioned I was coming up here, they attacked me." "They were about to rape me, I almost didn't get away." "What?" "I'm sorry, I should've told you not to stop there." " Are you okay?" " I'll feel better once I file charges." " What the hell's their problem?" " That is a long story." "Let's just get you settled in, okay?" "Mark." "The Morrison-Calley lawsuit just finished pre-trial *daps." "Case got fast-tracked so it's all over us." "If paralegal jobs weren't so scarce right now..." "I'd be out of there." "Well, I'm glad you're here." "You should've seen this place before, Darc." "The windows were painted black... and all the mirrors inside were covered over." "I'm telling you:" "You give me another week, and you won't even recognize this place." "Now, that should help take the edge off." "Yeah." " Thanks." " Sure." "So, what do you really think of the place?" "Once it's cleaned up, I think, it'll be fine." "You know when I was working in Pediatrics, that's how we used to describe ugly babies." "Come on, Peter, I'm up here." "I brought Pammy." "I kept my end of the bargain." "You're making it sound like you have to take medicine." "It's your prescription." "You're the doctor, or at least you were." "Darc, come on!" "We've been over this a thousand times." "I made a shitty doctor." "My heart was not in it." "You said you were gonna fill me in." "So... who are the idiots who broke my window?" "Those idiots were the Hammond brothers." "They were squatting in the property with their sister Maude when I bought the place... so I had to get the municipal court to kick them out." "And needless to say they weren't happy about it." "Listen, let's..." "Let's talk about you and I..." "It..." "What is it, Mark?" "No, No, Brian has those papers." " Great." " I gave it to him before I left." "Hello!" "Anybody in here?" "Wow!" "It's a 1949 Schwinn." "Who are you?" "How'd you get in here?" "I'm from down the lane, but you can't tell." "I'm supposed to be at home doing chores." " You live on a farm?" " Yeah, about a mile from here." "Are there horses?" "I've taken riding lessons, English saddle." " We had horses once but they died." " I love horses." "This bike's got the new style." "Toolbox tank with the battery clipped in switch built right in." "What if we can get these tires and filled them?" "Bicycle pump, right over there!" "You just wonder into other people's houses without asking?" "In a house, it's a woodshed." "I was just wondering who's moving in." "That's all." "Peter Campbell." "He and my mom used to be engaged." "He was a doctor then." "Now, he quit." "He just writes short stories." "Are you moving in, too?" "There's not many kids to play with around here." "We could be friends." "Me and my mom are just here for the weekend." "I was worried there won't be any kids... so, I'm glad you came over." " I'm Emma Inge." " Pamela Wagner." "Wanna play dress-up?" "Why don't we get this bike working first?" "Get it cleaned up and go exploring." " You gotta stop, Pamela." " Why?" "This is Witch's River." "It's haunted." " How old are you?" " I'll be 11 in February." "Me, too." "Mommy says we Aquarians have active imaginations... but, I think we're both too old to believe in witches, Emma." " Do you have any baby teeth left?" " So what if I do?" "But it's just one, so, it barely counts." "Best not to pull it 'til you're safe at home." "The witch collects teeth." " How does she do that?" " Bad luck to talk about it." "Like Voldemort in "Harry Potter"?" "Who's Harry Potter?" ""Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"." ""Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"?" "J.K. Rowling?" "My parents died when I was 6." "I ain't allowed to leave the farm much, so, I don't hear about a lot of things." "Yeah, but still, Harry Potter!" "Okay." "Go on." "Tell me about that silly old witch." "She used to live in the house you're in... a long time ago." "When she was alive, she had a horrible disease." "Tumors grew in her mouth and on her face." "Children teased her when she went to school." "After her parents died, she covered all the mirrors in the house... and painted all the windows black and never came out." "But as she got old, she got meaner." "She started luring children up there... taking their teeth and killing them." "She'd put their teeth in her magic music box... and curse the children so their souls would be trapped... to wander the earth, forever." "And that's why they called her, the Tooth Fairy." "And you say you never read Harry Potter." "I have to get home before dark." "You better get home, too." "You be careful, Pamela." "Don't let the tooth fairy have your last tooth." "She knows when they're loose." "When she has it... she'll kill you." "Pam!" " Is she upstairs?" " No." "No." "Pammy!" " I'll check the woodshed." " She's not there, I already checked." " What's the fuss?" " My daughter's missing." " I'll help you look." " Star and I can jump in the truck, maybe we could..." " No, no, Bobby, let's go check back here." " I used to live in this area." "I know these roads." "I'll, I'll drive." " Stephanie, I'm Darcy." " Hi, nice to know you." " What was she wearing?" " Jeans and a, a blue hoodie." "It's been a cold July." "Hope she's warm enough." "Is that her?" "Peter, she's here!" "Thank God I found you." "What happened to your mouth?" "I fell, I knocked out my last baby tooth." "Good going, kiddo." "School picture's coming up in a week and now you have a big hole in your smile." "Once she has your tooth, she'll kill you." "I met this girl today, her name's Emma Inge." "She lives on a farm about a mile from here." "I was going to invite her over tomorrow... so I asked Bobby about her." "He lives in town... but he said he'd never heard of an Inge family." " It's kinda strange, huh?" " I never saw you playing with a girl." " Was she nice?" " Yeah, but... she dresses kinda weird." "Well... this is the country, sweetheart." "It's a long way to Melrose Avenue." "Do you believe in witches, mommy?" "A life isn't a Harry Potter novel, Pamela." "But, didn't they use to burn witches in Salem, Massachusetts?" "In Salem, they didn't understand disease... and why so many babies were dying during childbirth." "Since they couldn't understand it, they found people who didn't fit in... and called them witches and burned them at the stake... hoping to make their problems go away." "And, what's all this about?" "Emma says there used to be a witch that lived on this house." "Right here, in this house." "Well, she's not here anymore." "Okay?" "Now it's time for you, to go to sleep." "Leave the light on in the hall." "Okay." "Nice night." "I couldn't concentrate in this book in my room for some reason." "Listen to what I just found." ""Pigeons were originally brought to this country as pets... but they escaped and formed feral populations... that are now the number 1 pest bird in the US."" " I didn't know that, did you?" " Yeah." "Yeah?" "I mean, no." "No, I..." "I'm not sure." "I always loved animals." "Even as a kid, I used to have all kinds of broken birds, and sick lizards and stuff... and nurse them back to health." "I..." "I was always kind of your girl-geek type, you know." "Then I started growing' up..." "This is what I ended up with." "Yeah... no kiddin', huh?" "It's funny how you can end up becoming what it is you look like... but underneath all this, I'm still just Star Roberts, girl geek." "Took me a mess of time to get that sorted out, but..." "I'm on the right track now, and I can't hardly wait to start my classes." "I play football." "Won league championships this year." " Really?" " Yeah." "Got a scholarship at Fresno State." " Start two-day drills in about a week." " What are you gonna study?" "I thought I'd try Electrical Engineering... my folks, they wanted me in Farm Management, but..." "I don't know if I wanna be in Farm Management the rest of my life." "Just 'cause you live on a farm and look like a farm boy, doesn't mean you have to be one, right?" "And take it from somebody who just took a 3-year detour." "Your dreams will carry you but, you gotta be willing to fly first." "It's so nice here." "I love it." "Mommy!" "Mommy, where are you?" "Who's that?" "Who's there?" "Uh, shut it." "Hush up!" "You'll raise the dead." "Let go of her!" "Who are you?" "Mrs. MacDonald." "Your next-door neighbor." "What're you doing sneaking around up here?" "It's almost midnight." "What's going on?" "Who was screaming?" "You must listen to me, all of you." "Your lives are in great danger." "This house is a place of untold evil." "Awful things have transpired here." "Unspeakable things to children!" " She was in my room." " Nonsense, child!" "I saw you." "You were leaning over my bed, you tried to get my tooth." "That was not me... it was her." "What do you mean "her"?" "Who the hell are you talking about?" "The evil one is awake." "All this work on the house has disturbed her slumber." "And now, she will take revenge on all of you." "Mark my words, all who stay... will die." "Pammy, I don't want you listening to this." "Come on." "Listen, Mrs. MacDonald..." "I want you off of my property." "I don't care if you are my neighbor... you don't come sneaking around here scaring that little girl half to death." "Well I have seen the witch, and I know." "All of you must leave... before it's too late." "At least we know who not to borrow a cup of sugar from." "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "He shoots, he scores!" "Who is that?" "Ms. MacDonald?" "Peter doesn't want you 'round here anymore." " Mommy!" " What?" " Did you hear that?" " Yeah." "Sounded like it came from the woodshed." "Come on, let's go." "Okay, listen." "Darc, I want you to stay here with Star and Pam, okay?" " I'll be right back." " Okay." "Bobby?" "The hell..." "Excuse me, folks." "I'm gonna have the coroner pick up the whole ?" "to town." "But, uh, the contraption turned that poor boy into tomato puree." " You say he was fixing it?" " Yeah, the engine was all busted up... but Bobby figured he could get it going, so." "Must have had his head down there." "Some damn thing try to free the chopper wheel turned on by mistake and got pulled in." "That boy was a football player and a half." "It's a damn shame." "He wanted to study Engineering." "Why don't you folks go on back to the house?" "I'll let you know when we're ready to leave." "Thanks." "Come on, Star." " D'you want to talk about this?" " Can't even bear to think about it." "Later, then." "But I don't think you should bury it." "We need to talk about what happened." "I don't want it to give you nightmares." "I'm too afraid to go upstairs or go to sleep." "I understand, but you have to try." "She was in my room, mom." "Mrs. MacDonald won't come back." "Peter made her go away." "I think she's the witch who killed Bobby." "There's no such thing as witches." "But if she's not a witch, how'd she know my tooth was gone?" "Emma says she always knows." "And when she gets my tooth... she'll kill me." "You can't let your imagination run away with you, honey." "And Mrs. MacDonald is just a crazy old lady." "We'll lock up tight." "She won't get in again, I promise." "Come here." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Fine." "How could something like that happen?" "How's Pammy?" "Not so hot." "Now that this has happened, I don't know if I feel... the same way about this place." "Maybe moving up here to be a writer... wasn't such a hot idea after all." "Maybe this whole thing was a big mistake." "No, you gotta do what you want." "I don't wanna put any pressure on you, but Pammy and I... would love to have you come home." "Can't you write stories anywhere?" "Does it have to be in some inn way out in the country?" "Look, I admit that... you know, this place hasn't been very peaceful... but, trust me, Darc..." "I will not let anything happen to you or Pam." "Come here." "Peter?" "Yeah." "Where's my car?" "It was right there when the cops left." "What kind of whack job takes a Hyundai?" "One of the reasons you drive those things is because no one ever steals them." "I got a hunch." "It's the kind of lame... crappers dipshit Hammond brothers would be pulling." "Sheriff Pepper, please." "Well, when will he be back?" "Okay." "Thank you." "Won't be back 'til noon." "We'll wait 'till Pammy gets up and we'll take a trip into town." "Thanks." "To put a little sugar in your day." " Thanks, Peter." " You're welcome." "Now why don't you go check out some of those cool sunglasses... and your mom and I are going to talk to the Sheriff, okay?" " Okay." " See you in a minute." "Meet me in the changing room." "You'll never believe what happened last night." "Bobby Boulet died, it's all over town." "And the tooth fairy, she was in my room, she tried to get my tooth." "She can't come after you unless your tooth is out." "As long as it's in your mouth, you're safe." "I fell off the bike, I knocked it out." "And last night..." "Only one person in the change room at a time." "I'm sorry, I'm all alone." "It's just my radio, I'll turn it off." "I'm so scared, She almost got me." "And now, she's after this tooth." "Now that the tooth fairy wants that tooth... she'll come after you wherever you go." " You're not safe unless we stop her." " How can we stop her?" "If we give her your tooth, she'll lead us to the magic music box." "That's where she keeps the teeth." "Once we have the music box, I think her spell's broken." "Once she gets my tooth, she'll kill me." "She can't bear to look at herself." "Yes, but how would that keep me alive?" "We can use that, we just have to be very, very clever." "He had been as involved as one of Mark's notorious sleeping jurors." "Well, they got their hands full with the media over Bobby's death." "And my car's probably halfway to Bolivia by now." "Maybe not." "Wonder if they took anything?" " How do you unhook this thing?" " You don't unhook." "Oh, we got ourselves a full-fledged innkeeper." " What're you gonna do, Chuck?" " I want my car back." "You trespassed on private property and stole it." "That's against the law." "Well, I found this in your backseat, missy." "It says here you're a paralegal." "It's some kind of lawyer's helper, ain't it?" "See I'm figuring that this means you understand the concept of a mechanic's lien." "Well, me and my brother, we for one, have thingamabob's your new car here... on account of you took off without paying for your gas." " Bullshit!" " Darc." "Hey, shut up." "And you, keep your trap shut as well..." "I'm gonna fill a hole in one of my size 13 Danner boots." "She didn't pay for her gas, and so we impounded the car." "Of course, calling this roller skate a car is a might bit of a stretch... but what the fuck, takes what the good Lord provides." "If she owes you money for gas, I'll pay it." "You obviously don't hear too good, Mr. Pete." "I said just shut up." "This ain't some city court proceeding where bullshit flows downhill... and honest folks who miss a few payments on their house get... run off like a rabid dogs." "You were squatting on my property." "And now just, unhook the car, asshole." ""Unhook the car, asshole."" "Sounds like Mr. Pete needs to get took down a notch." "Don't get into a fight over this." "Pete, we'll just go to the sheriff!" "You mean cousin Claude?" "Well that ain't gonna work out quite like how you think." "So go ahead, see if you can take back your Korean leaf blower with windows." "But I best warn you, when the shit jumps off..." "I am the hammer and you're that dog shit." "Peter!" "Stop it!" "I said stop it!" "Feisty little beaver, aren't you?" "You son of a bitch." "Come on, Darc." "Come on, let's go home." "Wait a minute." "Go onto our property again, I'll shoot your balls off.." " Cherise?" " Yeah." "Hey, Cherise." "Come on out, they're back." "Are you sure this guy isn't like the other friend the..." "Luis character, with that meth habit?" "You're gonna love Pete." "His chakra is as blue as a mountain lake." "He been my main man since high school." "He-hey Darc, Pammy." " Cole." " What's up?" "O, what's the 411, someone thrown in on you?" "No, I just had a little misunderstanding in town." " So, what are you doing here?" " You asked me to come up and help, remember?" "Yeah, but I thought you said you had a gig." "Tomorrow." "Cherise, meet the big dog." "This is Cherise Lowe." "We hired her on as a roadie for Praying Mantis, y'know." "she puts stuff up, takes shit down... sells CDs and t-shirts in the lobbies, and sometimes on the street." "I also read chakras and adjust auras." "We sure could've used some aura-adjusting yesterday." " I thought your gig was up in Portland." " Wouldn't wanna miss the grand opening." "The grand opening's July 1st." "Oops." "My bad, come here, give me a hug." "Right." "Look, I'm glad you're here." "I'm just gonna go inside and get some ice on this." "Yeah, I hope you put the other guy in the hospital." "Well, it was "guys", actually." "You can say we did adjust their auras." "Your personal landscape is a manuscript written by your actions." "When you fight, you always lose more than you redeem." "Thanks." "But he sorta had to be there." "Come on, Pammy." "Listen." "A transcendent evil has been awaken in this house... and it started to assert its will." "Tell me about it." "Easy on the freaky shit." "Man!" "The worst part is, he was gonna start in a college in a week." "So much to live for." "Well..." "It kinda sucks, the big one!" "So sad, I wish I could stop thinking about it." "It really bums me out." "I totally understand." "What kind of music do you play?" "It's an alternative country rap." "It's a genre I created myself." "I always wanted to play an instrument, but, God didn't give me that gift." "And I think I'm tone-deaf." "Oh you might be tone-deaf, but you scored in some other departments." "I mean look at you." "You're fucking gorgeous." "God gave you plenty, I mean, forget music." "You should be a model or something." "No, I already tried that." "Modeling's for losers." "I'm going to be a veterinarian." "Starting school next week." "That is so cool." " You think so?" " Yeah." "Most guys try to talk me out of it." "They want me stay just the way I am." "Not me, man, no." "So many girls... only think about is dumb stuff like..." ""How's my hair look?" "Are my boobs too small?", you know?" ""Do I look fat in this?"" "It gets real old because it's always about them." "I mean, to be truly beautiful... you're gonna give the best part of yourself to others." "You can't see real beauty." "It's transcendent." "This is very insightful... and so... poetic." "I'm a song writer, so... poetry kinda comes with the territory." "Hey, who wants wine?" "None for me, thanks." "I have two chapters to get through tonight." " Good night." " Night." "Some things never change, do they?" "Thank you." "Cole, I wanted again to say thanks for coming up on such short notice." "I mean with what happened to Bobby and all, I..." "I just don't know how we'll get the place open by July 1st." "Look, unfortunately, it took a lot longer to get up here than I thought... and we needed a new clutch for the van." "We... burned through all of our contingency dough." "I got stuck in Bakersfield for two days." "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to leave first thing in the morning." "Well, I mean..." "Our new CD is slammin', man." "You gotta hear it." "We sell it at our gig, 7 bucks a copy." "We're doing good." "We're averaging what?" "75 copies per show." "Congratulations, Cole." "That's great." "There's just one little ant stuck in the afterbirth... we gotta burn a couple of hundred copies... and with the van breaking down, and the cost of the posters for the Oregon event..." "You need to borrow some money." "Yeah." "Look... dog, uh, I don't want it to seem like that's the only reason I stopped by." "I mean, if the clutch hadn't getto'ed on me, we'd be movin' furniture... and cuttin' back brush for two days already." "So, how much do you need?" "Uh, 7 would be good, 800 would be awesome!" "800 dollars?" "Peter doesn't have limitless financial resources, Cole." "The inn isn't even bringing any money in yet." "I ain't just come up for the money, Darc." "You know, I wanted to kick back with you, guys." "And catch up on old times." "I don't think we should stay." "I had a bad feeling about this place." "Cherise, ink isn't even dry on this thing and you wanna boogie ?" "No way." "A vengeful ghost... seeks the souls of all who quarter here." "That's the exact same thing that Mrs. MacDonald said." " Oh, hey." " Hey." "How's the head?" "Which one?" "Well, you were very brave in town." "So were you." "We always did make a good team, didn't we?" "I just never figured that it would be for beating up a couple of bubbas." "I've been trying to sort some things out." "You know, all this stuff with Pammy." "Her imagination is amazing, but... sometimes I worry about her." "She has these weird fantasies that she seems to believe in." "This is a critical time in her life... it's got me thinking." "Thinking about what?" "Maybe being away at the office all the time isn't so good for her right now." "You guys should move up here?" "I'm not sure yet." "I don't want to give up everything I've been working for." "With you gone, I have to admit... the apartment seems very empty." "Life isn't as good as it was." "I think the Hammond brothers have redeemed themselves." "Maude?" "Maude?" "Stop back there for a minute, that's far enough." "She's gonna go up the house, make some noise, keep them busy." "We're gonna get the truck." "She isn't exactly been paddling her straight canoe, Chuck." "What the hell is she gonna do to keep them busy and... what is she doing with that old kitchen knife, again?" "Shut up!" "Damn." "Let me do this." "Go on, Maude." "Get on in the back." "What are you gonna do, Chuck?" "You gonna hotwire it?" "Assholes cut the fuel line, but ain't gonna be good enough." "Shh." "She had no fucking idea what she's doing." "All roads wind uphill." "Death is only a veil that shadows life." "Blood upon the altar." "Wings across the sand." "Now is a time for a cleansing song." "Evil witch, be gone." "What pagan sign are you?" "From the Autumn Equinox?" "The Spirit of Beltrane." "Stop!" "I command you!" "I am initiated in the ways of the unforgiven." "Return from once you came!" "Be gone, evil spirit!" "What the hell's going on in there?" "Cherise, open the door!" "Shit, man!" "Mommy!" "Darcy, no!" "Fuck!" " Why are you doing this?" " Tooth." "Pammy's gone." "No!" "No, I won't!" "Cole, grab the front." "Cole, come on!" "Yeah." "Emma, I need you now!" "Who the hell's that?" "It's the woman from the gas station." "The Hammonds' crazy sister." "That's who's been scaring Pammy." "I don't think so, Darc." "It's something else." "We gotta find her, Peter." "Where could she have gone?" "I don't know." "She probably took her bike." "But she went looking for her friend Emma." "She thinks Emma's an expert on witches." " Okay." "Where does she live?" " I don't know." "We'll go to the neighbors and we'll ask around." "Okay?" "Cole, get a hold of the cops." "Tell them to get up here." "And... in the meantime, don't go in the room or touch the bodies." " Yeah." " We'll be right back." "Come on." "Wait." "You called?" "It's horrible." "There's a dead woman out in front of the porch." "There's another one upstairs." "A younger girl." "I saw her spirit leave." "We've got to get the tooth fairy's music box." "Tonight." "There isn't much time left." "She intends to kill everybody." "But she's got a nail gun and an ax." "And she runs faster than anything." "There's no way we'll get close enough to get it." " You wanna save the children?" " I wanna save mommy and Peter." "Then, you gotta come with me." "Come on, we've got to hurry." "Viva!" "You're going down for a death nap, honey!" "Stop!" "There's a hole." "They're okay, keep going." "Son of a bitch." "I told you there was an evil spirit in that house." "How many people have to die before you believe me?" "Ancient Druids wrote about children who died at the same time that they lost their last tooth." "Legend tells us that they are cursed to wander the earth... until their teeth have been returned to them." "That is how the legend of the Tooth Fairy was first born." "We need to find my daughter." "Can you help us?" "Now, the witch that resides in your house, has trapped the spirits of many children... by stealing their teeth and giving them nothing." "In the old days, the witch hunters had a sense that... that fire would cleanse the evil spirit." "That's why they burned witches at the stake." "And in Celtic lore, it is said that the soul... is a devil spiral or a ball of light times two." "Peter, we need to get out of here and find Pammy." "You must burn this witch with flames." "But you must do it two times." "The first time, she will extinguish herself, unharmed." "But the second burning, will consume her spirit." " Come on, Peter." " By the second burning..." "I promise, she will be gone." "Thank you, Mrs. MacDonald, but we really need to go." "Come on." "I'm through messing with Peter, his uppity bitch and that snot-nosed kid." " What are you gonna do, Chuck?" " Well, I'm gonna start by taking a piss... then I'm gonna go up there and knock that guy's dick in the dirt." "Shouldn't we just ought to call cousin Claude?" "You hear what I just said?" "What are we gonna do, Chuck?" "Do you ever shut the fuck up?" "The fool ain't got the brains God gave green apples." "I mean, would you find your own tree?" "Can't a man even take a leak by himself?" "What are you, Chuck?" "What's your dick doing over there, Chuck?" "What are we gonna do now, Chuck?" "Who are they?" "Are they ghosts?" "These are some of the children who were killed by the Tooth Fairy." " Are you a ghost, too?" " They chose me to come to you." "It was said there's a noble spirit would set us free." "When you came here yesterday, we sensed your spirit." "We're trapped between heaven and hell." "You're our only hope to set us free." "I'm okay, mom." "Really." "We were so worried." "Where were you?" "I was on the far side of the woods." "In the graveyard." "The ghosts of lots of children are trapped there." "Come on, Pammy." "Darc, let's just hear what she has to say." "You know, maybe this explanation isn't quite as simple as... a couple of rednecks and their crazy older sister." "Will you come with me, mommy?" "It's not that far." "Maybe I could get them to show themselves." "Peter?" " What is it?" " Pam, I found your friend." "Emma Inge." "Emma?" "I need you." "This is crazy." "Emma said she could move little things." "Most of the other children are like that, too." "But, they can't affect matter very much." "Darc, we have two dead bodies back at the inn." "I think we need to get a hold of the police and try to explain that to them." "And..." "Cole and Star are probably freaking out by now." "Okay, so come on." "Let's go." "It's her." "Emma?" "Emma, tell them." "Show them." "They can't see or hear me." "I can't change that." " It's just the way it is." " Who are you talking to, Pammy?" "It's her, mom." "She's standing right there." " She's the one that made the candle fall." " I think the wind made it fall." "No, mom." "She's standing right there." "Pam, come on." "Now." "Emma, you have to move that candle again." "Show them you're here." "I can't." "It's too heavy." "It took all my strength just to knock it off the headstone." "Ask the others to help." "Help us, everybody." " Throw the candle." " One!" "Two!" "Three!" " Do you believe me now?" " How did you do that?" "It wasn't me." "It was them, the spirits of those children." "Maybe we should do what Pam and Emma want us to do." "Yeah." "Come on, man." "Shit." "It's the third try." "Can't get through to the Sheriff." "The storm must've knocked the phone lines out." "Yeah, I really hope they've found Pammy." "It's getting rough out there." "You writing a song?" "Yeah, you know." "Shit like this really... bring stuff up." "I have some really deep feelings." "Just gotta get them down on paper." "All the stuff that used to seem important just doesn't anymore." "You know, I hate to admit it, but, I'm a... kind of a selfish guy." "I don't mean to be, it's just..." "I sorta use people." "And guys like Peter, they're an easy mark, I..." "I leech off of him and steal... and you know what, I was gonna... was gonna smoke this 800 bucks he gave me." "Right now, I really feel shitty about myself." "People change, Cole." "I mean, you didn't try to use me." "Babe, I was trying to get in your pants the first time I saw you." " What stopped you?" " Just kinda... hard to get it up with all this freaky shit going on." "I'm really glad that you told me something that you're not very proud of." "It takes real courage, Cole." "My mom always told me that people who could recognize their faults... are destined to change them." "Underneath, I see a lot of inner strength." "Cherise said my aura is muddy and brown." "Maybe it was then, but... it's not now." "Come on." "Okay." "Yeah." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "You're right." "Somehow, this all makes sense." "Death and love... both make life more, more valuable." "Sound like lyrics from a song." "Maybe it will be." "Come here." "Wait." "I have to..." "I'll be right back." "I just have to, get ready." "Who's that?" "Pete?" "Shoo." "Go!" "Oh, yeah." "Yeah." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Yeah, come." "Yeah, come on." "The hell, it's quick." "Yes, that's right!" "Don't be so impatient." "Oh shit, man." "Now, pull." "Right?" "You wanna spank me?" "Yeah, of course." "Yeah?" "Come here." "I wanna spank..." "Look at you." "Hey, Darcy, you guys go in and get dry." "I'll be right back." "Peter, wait!" "Emma says we have to burn the witch." "I know, I think I have some gas in the garage." "Now go on in and see if Cole got a hold of the Sheriff." "Be careful." "Okay." "Come on." "Cole, Star, we're back." "We need to talk to you guys." "Peter said the electricity was funky." "I don't think that's funky electricity, mom." "Let's get you dried off." "Yeah, well, it'll have to do." "Okay, now, let's get upstairs and get you out of these wet clothes, okay?" "Upstairs, Peter." "Star." "Pammy." "Star?" "Sh...shit." "Star?" "Star?" "Star!" "Star!" "It's okay." "Come on." "Come on." "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Calm down." "What's fucking going on?" "Okay." "Okay." "Come here." "Come here." "Come here." "Come here." "Shh, I got you." "I got you." "I got you." "I got you." "It's okay." "Shh." "It's okay." "Okay, okay, okay." "Why can't I just do it?" "Why does it have to be Pam?" "Because it's my tooth." "The music box is magical." "Emma said that you have to have a connection to it to see it." "My tooth is the connection." "I'm scared to death to go back in there." "We have to, mommy." "It's the only way." "Bobby got killed out here." "But if she finds you..." "Emma taught me a trick... to slow her down." "A mirror." "You and Peter have to stay close and be ready." "Okay." "Come on, lets' go." "Come here!" "I want my tooth back." "Run, Pammy, run!" "Hey, bitch!" "Pam, grab the box!" "That's one." "Now, mommy!" "Now!" "Go, Darc, go!" "Get your teeth, everyone." "Get your teeth." " Are you okay?" " Yes, mommy." "I'm finally okay." " Are they all gone, Pam?" " They're going back where they belong." " Thank you for saving us." " Thank you for saving me." "I'll be waiting." "When you get there, bring some dress up." "Pammy." "Wait, I forgot something." "My tooth." "I guess that's everything." " I hope so." " Yeah." "I'm sorry for moving out and breaking the lease." "And everything, I just..." " After everything that's happened..." " Star, it's fine, really." "Everyone feels the same way." "A lot of bad stuff happened here..." "Actually, I'm gonna move Darcy and Pam back to the city... and I'm going to sell this place." "You're a good man." "Thanks." "I want you to know I appreciate what you did for me." "You're really kind and treated me like a person, not a thing" "And I'm not really used to be treated that way, so..." "I want you to know how much that meant to me." " Sure." " Thank you." " Take care of yourself." " Okay." "Okay." " So, you guys ready?" " Yup." " Pam will be right down." " Okay." "Peter, I want us to try again." "Yes!"
