Maybe a runaway?

Who cares?

I just want her out of my car.

How can you say that?

Easy. There's something off.

Or am I the only one

to see that?

No, Don, for God's sakes.

You're not the only one

who sees that something's off.

OK, I'm sure there's a

reasonable explanation for this.

Sure there is.

Does any of this

seem reasonable to you?

LESLIE:
Hey!

Why the hell

did you turn around?

I didn't.

JASON:
We must have

turned around, right?

I didn't turn around.

[girl grunting]

Keep her quiet!

It's OK, it's OK,

it's OK, it's OK.

[girl quiets]

EMMY:
Did you see that?

JASON:
What the f***?

It's OK.

What do you think?

Welcome to lot number 6485.

Feel free to take

a look around.

Press the buttons

on the speakers

you see around the house

to hear about this great place!

I think you'll like

what you see.

LESLIE:
Would you slow down!

JASON:
Dad, relax!

Yeah, take it easy, will you?

Don't tell me to take it easy!

CHARLIE:
What--

DON:
Don't!

Get out.

JASON:
What do you want?

-Get out, Jason.

-Ow!

CHARLIE:
Get off her!

DON:
Tell me what's going on!

CHARLIE:
Get off her!

[all yelling]

Oh, my God!

Her tongue is gone!

This is f***ed up!

DON:
I'm sorry.

[engine starts]

[engine stops]

SUSAN:
What's going on?

[engine cranking]

We're out of gas.

I'm gonna take a walk

through the woods.

No, no, Don, please don't.

There's somebody out there.

Someone's bound to show up

in the morning.

What do you mean, stay here?

CHARLIE:
I saw a fireplace

and firewood inside.

No, uh-uh, no,

I don't want to do that.

That's a bad idea.

Flashlights?

Give me some flashlights.

Here.

EMMY:
It's OK.

She doesn't want to come inside.

She's got to come inside,

it's freezing out here.

It's all right, it's all right,

we're not gonna hurt you.

SUSAN:
She doesn't want to go.

She does--come on, you guys.

She doesn't want to...

EMMY:
Dad, please don't.

We all have to stay together.

She doesn't want to come inside!

- We got to get her...

- Stop it, stop it!

What is the matter with you?

Do you want to spend the night

in the car?

SUSAN:
Charlie!

[girl screaming]

[Emmy crying]

No...

Let's get her upstairs

into one of the beds

in the upstairs bedrooms.

All right,

let's go, come on.

-What's wrong with her?

-What's she looking at?

[girl grunting]

Try to put her on

one of the sofas in the den.

[girl shrieking]

All right, all right.

[girl continues shrieking]

I'll get a...I'll get a blanket

from one of the bedrooms.

[girl quiets]

[quick footsteps]

MAN ON RECORDING: Thinking

about starting a family?

There's plenty of room for

your little bundle of joy here!

[clatter]

[fire crackling]

Leslie?

Thank you.
