Graham
Bo, where's Morgan? Bo?
Bo
Are you in my dream, too?
Graham
This is not a dream.
Graham
Morgan, are you hurt?
Morgan
I think God did it.
Graham
Did what? (Morgan turns his father's head to see their two dogs running around wildly in the center of an enormous crop circle)
Bo
It's contaminated.
Morgan
You don't even know what that word means. (Morgan tastes it) It's not contaminated. It's just tap water, pour it in his bowl.
Bo
It tastes funny.
Morgan
It does not. Besides, he licks his butt every day. I don't think he'll mind.
Graham
What's the matter?
Bo
There's a monster outside my room. Can I have a glass of water?
Graham
What's wrong with the water next to your bed?
Bo
It tastes old.
Graham
What are you thinking about?
Bo
Why do you talk to Mom when you're by yourself?
Graham
Makes me feel better.
Bo
Does she ever answer back?
Graham
No.
Bo
She never answers me either.
Graham
Lionel Prichard and the Wolfington brothers are back.
Merrill
It's time for an ass-whooping.
Graham
This is not an intelligent way to approach this. Lee is a friend of mine. This is his son.
Merrill
Yeah, we'll be doing Lee a favor. Alright, listen. We both go outside, move around the house in opposite directions. We act crazy, insane with anger, make them crap their pants, force them around until we meet up on the other side.
Graham
Explain act crazy.
Merrill
You know, cursing and stuff.
Graham
You want me to curse?
Merrill
You don't mean it. It's just for show.
Graham
It won't be convincing. It doesn't sound natural when I curse.
Merrill
Just make noises then.
Graham
Explain noises.
Merrill
Are you gonna do this or not?
Graham
No, I'm not!
Merrill
Alright, you want them stealing something from the house next time?
Merrill
On the count of three. One, two... three!
Graham
Ahhh! I'm insane with anger!
Merrill
We're gonna beat your ass, bitch!
Merrill
We're gonna tear your head off!
Graham
I'm losing my mind! It's time for an ass-whooping!
Graham
I cursed.
Merrill
I heard.
Merrill
How did he get up there...
Merrill
Are you sure this is Lionel Prichard?
Graham
You're too old to still be doing this. You take a glass of water and you finish it. Now, what's wrong with this one?
Bo
It has dust in it.
Graham
This one?
Bo
A hair.
Graham
This one?
Bo
Morgan took a sip and it has his amoebas in it.
And my point is, we don't know anything about the person you saw, and we should just keep all possibilities available.
Bo
Dad, where's the remote?
Graham
I don't know, baby. Why don't you check under the sofa cushions?
Merrill
Excluding the possibility that a female Scandinavian Olympian was running around outside our house last night, what else might be a possibility?
I'm not done asking questions, and I don't appreciate sarcasm.
Bo
It's contaminated.
Carl, there's something wrong with our water!
Morgan
Your water's fine. Bo has this thing about her drinking water. She had it her whole life. It's like a tic people have, except it's not a tic.
Is that right?
Thirteen!
Merrill
Morgan, this crop stuff, it's about a bunch of nerds who never had a girlfriend in their lives. They're like thirty and they work up these little codes together, and they analyze Greek mythology, and make up secret societies where other guys who never had girlfriends before can join in. They do stupid crap like this to feel special. It's a scam. Nerds were doing it 25 years ago, new nerds are doing it again.
Graham
It's just static, Morgan.
Morgan
It's a code.
Bo
Why can't they get girlfriends?
Graham
It's broken, Morgan. It's just gonna keep doing this. Maybe some new batteries...
Morgan
You might lose the signal!
Merrill
This is exactly what the nerds want...
Graham
Who wrote this book?
Morgan
A scientist who had been persecuted for their beliefs.
Graham
That means they're unemployed.
Morgan
If you're gonna make fun of it, then forget it.
Bo
This is serious.
Graham
I don't know what got into me.
Morgan
There are pictures. Dr. Bimbu, the author of the book--
Graham
Bimbu?
Morgan
Dad!
Graham
I just asked his name.
Morgan
You had a tone.
Bo
You don't think something bad will happen. Do you, Morgan?
Morgan
Why? You have one of your feelings again?
Morgan
Is it bad?
Morgan
I won't let anything bad happen to you.
Bo
I don't want you to die.
Morgan
Who said I was gonna die?
Graham
I heard a theory that... they don't like places near water. Maybe we'd be safer near a lake or something.
Morgan
Sounds made-up.
Graham
I saw one of them at Ray Reddy's house. I can't be sure, but I got the distinct feeling it wanted to harm me. So, we can choose to believe this lake idea, pack up and go. Or we can stay here, hide inside our home, wait it out. I might be overreacting, but I'm willing to live with that. Either way, at least we'll be together. All those in favor of the lake idea, raise your hand.
Graham
All those in favor of home, raise your hand.
Graham
Okay. My vote counts as two.
Morgan
That's bullshit! You're cheating!
Graham
Morgan, calm down. I get two votes because I represent two parents here.
Morgan
We don't know anything yet. We'll be safe here anyway. [calmly] I don't wanna leave home. This is where we lived with Mom.
Graham
That's got nothing to do with this.
Bo
I change my vote.
Graham
You can't change your vote.
Morgan
All those in favor of home, raise your hand.
Graham
This is ridiculous.
Morgan
You lose. Three to two.
Graham
We're going to board up every window in this house.
Merrill
How do we know boards will do anything?
Graham
Because they seem to have trouble with pantry doors.
Merrill
I'll make some sandwiches.
Bo
I want spaghetti.
Merrill
We should eat fast, Bo.
Graham
Spaghetti sounds great. What do you want, Morgan?
Morgan
Anything? French toast... and mashed potatoes.
Graham
Now we're talking. How about you, Merrill?
Merrill
Chicken teriyaki.
Graham
Good choice. I'm going to have a cheeseburger with bacon. [smiles] Extra bacon.
Graham
What's the matter with everyone. Eat.
Morgan
Maybe we should say a prayer.
Graham
No.
Morgan
Why not?
Graham
We're not saying a prayer.
Morgan
Bo has a bad feeling.
Bo
I had a dream.
Graham
We aren't saying a prayer. Eat!
Morgan
I hate you.
Graham
That's fine.
Morgan
You let Mom die.
Merrill
Morgan!
Graham
I am not wasting one more minute of my life on prayer. Not one more minute! Understood?
Graham
Now, we are going to enjoy this meal. No one can stop us from enjoying this meal, so ENJOY IT! Stop crying!
Merrill
Graham.
Morgan
Don't yell at her!
Graham
All right. Since you're all not going to eat, I'm going to try some of everything.
Morgan
We forgot our foil helmets.
Graham
Have we got anything to wedge against the doorknob?
Morgan
They'll read our minds.
Graham
You're scaring your sister.
Bo
I'm already scared.
Graham
We don't have his medicine. Don't be afraid, Morgan. We'll slow this down together. Feel my chest. Feel it moving in, and out. Breathe like me. Come on.
Bo
I dreamed this.
Graham
Stay with me. I know it hurts. Be strong, baby. It'll pass. It'll pass.
Graham
Don't do this to me again. Not again. I hate you. I hate you. [To Morgan] The fear is feeding it. Don't be afraid of what's happening. Believe it's going to pass. Believe it! Just wait. Don't be afraid. The air is coming. Believe. We don't have to be afraid. It's about to pass. Here it comes. Don't be afraid. Here comes the air. Don't be afraid, Morgan. Feel my chest. Breathe with me. Together. The air is going in our lungs. Together. We're the same. We're the same.
Merrill
We should save the flashlights.
Graham
That's why he had asthma. It can't be luck. His lungs were closed. His lungs were closed. No poison got in. No poison got in. His lungs were closed. His lungs were closed.
Graham
Don't touch him! Give him a minute.
Merrill
Graham.
Graham
Give him a second!
Bo
Daddy?
Graham
Don't touch him!
Merrill
Graham!
Graham
Don't.
Morgan
Dad, what happened?
Morgan
Did someone save me?
Graham
Yeah. Yeah, baby, I think someone did.
