Overcoming your deepest fears?

- His name is Bradley Jr.

- Did you think of that one all by yourself?

No, smartass.

Billy, your Uncle Bradley's here!

He brought along a friend.

- I'm gonna miss you. Here you go.

- Oh, God. Oh, God.

- Only until Friday.

- Yeah.

He likes you.

Well, would you look at that?

They have completely moved out,

hammock and everything.

You never heard such screaming.

The movers told them to shut the hell up

or they'd throw

all their things in the street.

Remember when they first moved in here?

I said I'd never seen a happier couple.

What did I tell you?

It's the house. It's cursed.

Houses aren't cursed, now. People are.

You're a jock, huh?

I used to be.

That was a long time ago.

That's my mom.

She took off when I was in junior high.

Bat drove her away.

- Bat?

- My dad. His name's Bathold.

People call him the Bat, so that ought

to tell you something, right?

Yeah, he blows up tree stumps for a living.

Then he comes home,

thinks about my mom,

and gets shitfaced.

Yours?

Yeah.

My mom gave it to me when I was a kid.

Do you sleep with him?

Yeah. What? Is that bad?

He's a great little spoon.

Ex-jock druggie

who still has a teddy bear?

Nothing hotter than that.

And what makes you think I'm a druggie?

Pisces, Virgo rising.

What was it? Coke?

E?

Heroin?

Sure, why not?

So, why'd you quit?

What makes you think I quit?

Oh, right. Pisces, Virgo rising.

Very good.

I had this dream one night

while I was wasted.

There was this African monkey

whispering all this creepy sh*t in my ear.

He said that if I didn't get clean

I was gonna die young,

OD in an alleyway on a pile of garbage.

And that morning I woke up

and I went to my first meeting.

It was seven months and two weeks ago.

I can prove it. I got my six-month chip.

Cool.

It doesn't scare you?

Most junkies, you know,

even if they never use again,

it doesn't matter. It's too late.

They're just gone,

you know, permanent zombies.

But then there's junkies where

all the horrible places they've been,

all the horrible sh*t they've done,

the fact that they come back from it

makes them better people

than if they'd never used in the first place.

That's you.

Hey, where's the little girl's room?

Across the hall.

Okay.

(GASPS)

Oh, sh*t!

(BANGING ON DOOR)

Oscar! Goddamn it!

You get that girl out of your room, Oscar!

Get the f*** away!

BAT:
You do it right now, damn it!

Do you hear me?

I should have warned you.

I didn't think he'd be back this early.

BAT:
Oscar! I ain't running

a motel around here!

- You hear me?

- Yeah, I heard you!

- Maybe we should just go out the window.

- No!

We're going out the way we came in.
