SARA:
We can see you.

[RINGING DOORBELL]

MACY:
Hello!

STEVEN:
Just a minute!

[SCREAMING]

Wait. No, no. Shh!

[LAUGHING]

Great costume, Mr. Wilkins.

Oy. Uh....

Oh, right, candy.

Thanks.

Principal Wilkins, do you think we might

be able to have your jack-o'-lantern, please?

-You're not gonna smash it, are you?

-No, it's a scavenger hunt for UNICEF.

Anything for a good cause.

Happy Halloween.

Yeah. Happy Halloween.

Didn't you get one?

[CAT SCREECHING]

Are you sure about this?

There's gotta be 1 or 2

extra guys there.

-I could help you.

-Go. I'll meet you there.

Call me if you get into trouble.

You're turning into Mom.

Ouch.

-Just remember to be yourself.

-But play hard to get.

Goodbye, Danielle!

[HUMMING]

Happy Halloween.

Daddy!

I'm back from trick-or-treating!

[WHISPERS]

Billy. Shh.

-Please, be quiet.

-Why?

Because you'll bother the neighbors.

Now go watch Charlie Brown

and I'll be in in a minute.

-Charlie Brown's an a**hole!

-Billy Wilkins. Language.

Shh, shh, shh.

Wait, hold on.

Come on. There you....

Huh? Mm.

Yeah.

Here you go. Go get it! Sh*t.

[DOOR OPENS]

KREEG:

Spite!

Spite! Get your ass in here.

Are you finished crapping or what?

[YELLS]

Who the hell is that?

[GRUNTS]

I got an NRA membership in my pocket...

and a shotgun over the fireplace,

so get out--

[IN NORMAL VOICE]

It's me, Mr. Kreeg.

Steven. Steven Wilkins.

What in God's name are you doing

down there, Wilkins? Hiding bodies?

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

What did you say?

[GRUNTS]

Nothing.

The septic tank is acting up.

-Is that what that smell is?

-I'm afraid so.

KREEG:
Then fix it!

It stinks like a dead whore out here.

I'm...

trying.

KREEG:

Keep your kid out of my yard!

Goddamn freak.

-Happy Halloween.

KREEG:
Screw you!

[YELLS]

BILLY:
Daddy!

I wanna carve the jack-o'-lantern now,

but I need your help with the eyes.

In a minute, Billy.

And can I go to the parade

with you later?

No, Daddy has a date.

Oh! But we haven't done anything

fun together.

How about if we make some

caramel apples, just like Grandpa used to?

-How about that?

-When?

After we carve the jack-o'-lantern,

but you have to be quiet.

Okay.

But don't forget to help me

with the eyes!

"Daddy, I wanna carve a pumpkin."

"Daddy, I wanna go to the parade."

"Daddy, I wish Mommy was still alive."

KREEG [MUFFLED] :

Wilkins! Wilkins, over here! Wilkins!

Help me, goddamn it!

Help me!

-Help me!

-Screw you.

Billy!

[SCREAMS]

BILLY:

Gotcha.

So can we carve it now?

[WOMAN SCREAMING ON TV]

Yeah.

Let's go downstairs.

Let's carve a scary face this time.

A scary face it is.

Wrap it around.

But don't forget to help me

with the eyes.

Trick or treat!
