Children of the Corn Page #3

---

It's not funny!

Burt!

I told you to stay in the car.

I thought somebody was watching me.

I looked behind me

- and I couldn't see you.

- Get in.

I should've tied a string

around the antenna.

I got lost in there for awhile.

It's a good thing you called

when you did. Push over.

Here, grab this.

What is it?

Is that-- is that blood?

Is that his blood?

- Yeah, I guess so. Grab it.

- No!

I was scared.

Uh-huh.

Afraid-- I was afraid.

You went into the corn and it felt

like somebody was watching me.

Well, maybe someone was.

You know what I'm talking about.

Someone was there, all right?

I could feel it too.

I remember that feeling

from Do Luc.

You don't forget that.

What did you say the next town is?

Gatlin.

Does it look big enough

to have a police station?

No, it's just a dot.

That little boy was on foot, right?

Gatlin is the only town for 80 miles.

- He must have come from there.

- If you say so.

Why? Why would anybody

wanna do that to a little kid?

I don't know.

We might get a better idea

- if we look inside that.

- Hmm?

Do you really think so?

Probably not.

It's worth a shot.

Do you wanna open it?

Okay.

Hey...

thanks.

Didn't we cross a barn

or something back there?

No. It was deserted--

no power feeds

from the road...

no good.

- I think you see everything.

- Huh.

It freaks me out sometimes.

It really does.

I just feel as if

this is my responsibility, Vicky.

I hit him, even if he was

bleeding to death when I did.

You see, I don't see everything.

I sure didn't see him.

I took my eyes off the road.

We haven't seen a car

or a truck in like an hour.

It's weird.

Maybe Nebraska's playing

a home game.

Why don't you tell that

to your American Studies class

when we get back home?

"ln Nebraska,

radio hasn't been invented yet."

- There's nothing at all?

- Zilch.

The other knot is coming now.

Atonement!

Only by the blood

of the lamb are we saved!

"Atonement" is the word,

brothers and sisters.

There are some that think...

No wonder

we're coming in five-by.

We're right on top

of the radio tower.

Boy preacher:
"...wilt thou be

besmirched by the world."

Now is that what

the word of God teaches us?

Holy Jesus!

When are they gonna know

- that way is dead?

- Hmm.

When are they gonna know

that the wages of the world

are paid on the other side, that there's

no room for the fornicator?!

- Children:
No!

- No room for the defiler of the corn!

- No vacancy!

- Vicky:
Wha--

No room for the homosexual!

No vacancy.

This drivel makes me sick.

What did he say about the corn?

- I wasn't paying attention.

- He said something about the corn.

I know he did--

something weird.
