Dream Boy Page #3

I mean it.

Are you man enough

to jump in the water right now,

or am I gonna have to

throw you in?

- I don't want you to throw me in!

- Then you better jump!

I want you to let me go!

Leave him alone! Let go of him!

I didn't throw him in the water.

I should have, though.

Nice ride, buddy.

RAND Y:
Yes, it was.

What do you think?

It looked like something was

chasing you all the way down.

I wish I could swim.

I'll teach you.

Next time, it'll be just us.

You wanna go somewhere now?

Wanna go to a movie or somethin'?

I don't mind.

Do you mind?

What?

Comin' out here.

No, I don't mind.

Well, we could go

to a movie sometime, too.

I ain't tryin' to hurt anybody.

You ain't hurt nobody.

Touch me.

[Grunts]

Where'd you learn screwing

like that? Huh?

Who taught you to screw like that?

Answer me!

Nobody.

You're a liar.

No, I'm not.

[Engine turns over]

Roy?

Roy, please.

NATHAN'S MOM:
Harland.

Come on downstairs.

[Sighs]

Nathan.

I'm talking to you, Nathan.

I know you're awake.

I saw your eyes come open.

Did you have a good time tonight?

You better answer me,

or I'm coming in there.

Yes, sir.

Your mom was the one who said

it was all right for you to go out.

It wasn't me.

Where'd you boys go?

Swimming.

Did you go swimming, too?

No, sir.

That's right. You don't know how.

Open your eyes, Nathan.

Look at your dad.

I'm sleepy.

Open your eyes.

NATHAN'S MOM:
Harland.

Harland, what're you doin' up there?

I'm talkin' to Nathan.

Come on downstairs.

Leave him alone. He's tired.

Let me check on Nathan

for a moment.

I'll be down there in a little while.

You promised me

that you wouldn't bother him.

I told you it's all right.

I'm checking on him

to see if he had a good time.

You shouldn't let him

go out like that.

He ought to come to church

with us.

He can come to church with us

on Sunday.

Come on downstairs.

Please.

Come on.

[Harland screams]

Did he touch you?!

Did he touch you?!

Nathan?

You out here?

I called you a couple times.

Everything all right?

Yeah, everything's fine.

I was kind of hoping

I'd get to see you on Friday.

I had some stuff I needed to do.

I know that there's something wrong.

Why don't you just tell me what it is?

What is it?

Did I do something?

No, nothing.

I just got to get home.

Roy, wait.

Please.

Nathan!

Nathan!

RO Y'S MOM:
Roy!

Come back!

[Snoring]

[Sobbing]

How long have you been out here?

Since after supper.

You were out here last night, too.

Yeah.

I gotta go inside pretty soon.

My parents will be wondering

where I am.

Hey, it's okay. I'll be fine.

You can't stay out here.

Yes, I can.

You should come to my house.

Your parents will send me home.
