we haven't been properly introduced.

I'm Ethan Wate, by the way.

- You're Ethan Wate?

- Yeah.

Oh, my God, you mean

Ethan Wate drove me home?

- You've heard of me?

- No.

[ETHAN CHUCKLES]

I like your charm necklace.

And-- And your tat, too. I mean, uh, also.

Thanks.

[ETHAN CHUCKLES]

ETHAN".

"Some people never go crazy.

What truly horrible lives they must live.

Boring damned people. All over the Earth.

Propagating more boring damned people.

What a horror show.

The Earth swarmed with them."

This man is a god.

MRS. LINCOLN:
It is the name of our Lord

that brings salvation.

It is the name of Jesus

that gives us authority over evil spirits.

[CHATTERING]

- What's going on?

- Here, just wait for it.

MRS. LINCOLN:
Protect us from the devil,

as we feel him approaching.

As we feel him coming towards us...

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

- Been hitting the same spot every night.

- Since when?

EMILY:
Since Lena Duchannes came to town.

My mama heard she's from a mental institution.

She killed a boy

on the train tracks in Atlanta.

ETHAN:
Oh, bullshit.

LINK:
Bullshit.

Watch your tongue.

My mama said that her mother

killed her father and just left town like that.

Shut your mouth, Emily.

Ethan Wate,

may I speak with you for a moment?

Right now?

What is wrong with you?

I'm just sick of people in this town putting

down someone they just don't know.

[EMILY CHUCKLES]

And you know Lena Duchannes?

Is that what you're saying, Ethan?

Sorry, but I don't think I'm gonna be able

to go to the movies with you this weekend.

I think we need time apart.

And I'm sorry to hurt you.

Let's go.

Did I not say that to her

at the end of sophomore year?

Hey, some girls are just mad dogs, son.

You can either run or shoot.

[CHATTERING]

EMILY:

Ethan? Ethan.

Can I talk to you

about something real quick?

I want you to know something.

I still care deeply for you as a friend.

And I pray every night

that you don't go straight to hell.

Oh, I won't go straight to hell, Emily.

I wanna stop off in New York first.

[BELL RINGING]

MRS. HESTER:

Okay, everybody take your seats.

Hi, darling, good to see you again.

How's your mama?

Boys. Billy, get down.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Okay, you should have read this

over the summer.

We're gonna start by discussing

the character of Boo Radley.

The town shut-in with a mysterious past.

- You mean Macon Ravenwood?

MRS. HESTER:
Savannah.

EMILY:

Excuse me?

Um, my mama says I really

shouldn't be reading this book.

- This is one of the banned books.

MRS. HESTER:
Yes, well...

...I got permission from the school board

to try it for a semester.

Oh, I'm not reading anything

banned from our church.
