Would you like to feel another one?

There's a good one over there.

- This one?

- Yeah, that one.

I've already felt that one.

- No, I just finished that one.

- I felt it... yesterday.

- I didn't know you yesterday.

- But I was here.

You're kidding, right?

Don't get up!

Listen to me now.

- You and your son are in danger.

- Where's my son?

He went with Juliet to the movies.

He's gonna be all right.

He's such an extraordinary child.

I heard you playing the video game.

You started to panic

and he said. "Chill out. Momba."

- How do you know that?

- Annie...

When I heard the two of you

laughing, I swore to myself -

- that I would help him

get through this.

This is a very dangerous time

for him.

He could stray, commit some childish

error and we could lose him.

That quick!

But I think he's gonna be safe.

He'll grow up and be healthy.

Juliet will be fine. Everyone you

care about will be safe as churches.

Do you hear what I'm saying?

Nod your head now.

Do as I say.

And as for you...

All you have to do is wait.

Someone will contact you

and tell you to say two words.

Two, precisely. Do you know

what they are? Have you guessed yet?

No?

Not guilty.

Okay, see you later.

What do you want me to do?

Protect him.

Tell him that your date

turned out to be a creep.

- Hi, honey.

- Are you all right?

Yeah. It's nice to see you.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing. Did you have a good time?

- Yeah. What's the matter?

- My date wasn't so great.

- Is he still gonna buy your boxes?

- It doesn't matter.

- Are you okay?

- Fine, I'll be up in a minute.

Just go on.

- I'll still buy your boxes.

- I don't want you to.

This will all be over soon.

- Annie, what's up?

- Boone?

- Yeah. it's me.

- How are you?

I'm good.

I have to put money in the phone.

It's the 1950's here. It's gonna

sound like we're disconnected.

- That's better.

- At last I got a chance to call.

- How long has it been?

- Probably the fall.

Is it really that long ago?

I'm hours from the nearest phone.

How are you guys?

How's Oliver?

- Are you there?

- Yeah...

- We're okay.

- I thought I'd lost you.

- Book your airline early this year.

- We won't be able to make it.

You'll miss the fiesta. Why?

Listen, you can't keep popping up

into my life whenever you want.

What's the matter?

I have someone here and

he doesn't like these phone calls.

Sorry, I didn't know.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, if I can get back to sleep.

Goodnight, Annie.

The Teacher says, "The man won't

come out of his house to be killed."

"So what we can do is,

dig a tunnel."

Remember, Paulie?

I said, "You want to dig a tunnel?"

"Okay, dig a tunnel.
