They heard your old man was coming.

Yeah, to court-martial your ass.

- This is Pete and...

- Marti.

You know each other?

We met earlier.

When? You just got here yesterday.

What do I do to get a drink here?

You want a drink? Have a drink.

Come here.

You can have anything.

You know that.

This is romantic.

Now what?

Let me dazzle you with my stick work.

Or not.

I mean, let's play some pool.

All right, let's go.

Sit down.

How are you?

Good.

How's your brother?

He's kind of weirded out.

Can I get you a drink?

Yeah. I'll have whatever he's having.

Yeah, right.

Hey, Melissa,

can I get a couple of beers, please?

Andy's a nice kid.

Do you want him?

Do I want him?

Sh*t!

What's wrong?

- I know that guy.

- What guy?

He scared me.

What'd you do to her?

What are you talking about?

In the gas station.

Your girlfriend's had too much to drink.

You should take her home.

Oh, Tim.

It's okay.

Guess I made a mistake.

I was 7 when she died.

I didn't expect my dad to marry again.

Stupid, huh?

You must really miss her.

What was your mother like?

You always remember the good things

about people.

I miss her.

Did you ever play, "I Never"?

What's that?

You put your hands up...

...and the object is to make the other guy

drop all his fingers down.

So, if I were to say...

..."I've never been to Mars"...

...then neither of us put our fingers down,

'cause we haven't been there.

But if you said, "I never wore a dress"...

...then I'd have to put a finger down.

Get it?

- Okay, go ahead.

- You start.

I've never eaten Brussels sprouts.

I've never been in a helicopter.

I've never tried to give

my kid brother away.

I've never shot anyone.

When?

Kuwait.

I never hide my feelings.

- What's the matter?

- It's Mommy!

- What about Mommy?

- Her head came off. She's dead!

- There's Mommy, right there.

- She's not my mommy!

- What happened?

- He had a bad dream.

It's okay. I'll put you to bed.

No! That isn't my mommy!

Wait!

Wait!

Take your brother inside.

Take him inside. Do it.

- Are you aware she's underage?

- No, sir.

You aware you're giving booze

to an underage girl?

You weren't aware of that?

- No, sir.

- No?

- That's funny?

- No, sir.

Don't come here anymore.

Come on.

I'm not lying, Marti!

Nobody said you were.

I had nightmares when I was your age.

They go away all by themselves.

She's not Mommy, Marti.

She is your mommy. She loves you a lot.

My mommy died.

- I don't want to talk. I'm angry.

- Dad, please.

I can't trust you.

You're drunk and an hour late.

I'm not drunk.

And you've known him 100 years...

I had one lousy beer and came home

half an hour late!

Big deal! I'm not a f***ing 10-year-old!

Stuart Gordon

Stuart Gordon (born August 11, 1947) is an American filmmaker, theatre director, screenwriter, and playwright. Initially recognized for his provocative and frequently controversial work in experimental theatre, Gordon is perhaps more widely known for work in film. Most of Gordon's cinematic work is in the horror genre, though he has also ventured into science fiction and film noir. Like his friend and fellow filmmaker Brian Yuzna, Gordon is a fan of H. P. Lovecraft and has adapted several of the author's stories for the screen, including Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Dagon, as well as the Masters of Horror episode Dreams in the Witch-House. He has turned to the work of Edgar Allan Poe on two occasions, directing The Pit and the Pendulum in 1991 and The Black Cat for Masters of Horror Showtime series in 2007. His science fiction films: Robot Jox (1990), and Fortress (1992) have both become cult classics. With Brian Yuzna and writer Ed Naha he co-created Honey, I Shrunk the Kids for Disney Studios and executive produced the sequel Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. He also co-wrote Body Snatchers for Warner Brothers in 1993 and The Dentist for Trimark in 1998. He produced, co-wrote and directed the science fiction comedy Space Truckers starring Dennis Hopper in 1996. He also produced and directed The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit written by Ray Bradbury in 1998. In 2003 he turned to film noir and produced and directed King of the Ants based on the novel by Charlie Higson. This was followed by a film adaptation of David Mamet's dark play Edmond starring William H. Macy in 2006. And in 2007 he produced, co-wrote and directed Stuck starring Stephen Rea and Mena Suvari. more…
