- Morning.
- Morning, priest.
It was about 3 years ago. I was
the only kid in church that day.
The others were with Isaac
out at the cornfield.
I didn't get to go
'cause dad didn't like Isaac.
He was pretty smart, my dad.
After church we've been
to Hansen's, just like always.
Sarah was homesick with mom.
She'd turned down with a fever.
- Morning, Dave.
- Morning.
- How are your wife and Sarah?
- Dad was worried...
so he went to call mom
first thing.
- I'm gonna call your mom, ok?
- Okay!
- You want the usual?
- Yeah, strawberty shake.
That's when I saw Malachai
and the others.
I guess the meeting with Isaac
was over.
They were acting real creepy.
- There you go, Jobie.
- Thanks.
- How is she?
- I'm worried, Dave.
The fever's gone
from 101 to 104.
Sure.
Okay.
Good coffee.
Oh, my God!
No!
It happened everywhere
in Gatlin that day.
That's when Sarah started
drawing these pictures.
Happy birthday!
What are you doing?
C'mon!
Make a wish.
What did you wish for?
To live happily ever after.
- Is that a proposal?
- No, it's not.
Well, I guess I'll
give you this anyway.
What is it?
- That's nice!
- Turn it over.
In honor of this special occasion
we'll have a birthday serenade.
No more books and studies
Now I can stay all day
With my buddies
I can do the things I wanna do
'Cause all my exams are through
I can root for the Yankees
From the beaches
And don't have to worry
About teachers
And I'm so glad
That school is out
I could sing and shout
School is out
Everybody's gonna have some fun
Everybody's gonna jump and run
C'mon, people
Don't you be late
I just got time
To take my girl out today
You're whacko.
Holy cow!
I got a lot of driving to do today.
Couldn't we just say
the hell with it...
- and stay for a couple of hours?
- I wish.
Starting Monday I've got
fifty patients a day to look at
- I've some things you could look at.
- Is that right?
Hello?
Hello?
Maid service.
We'll be out in a minute.
We gotta get going.
before we go, okay?
C'mon, honey! You're making
something out of nothing.
To me is something,
to you is nothing.
internship, okay?
I've been working forthis
forfouryears.
I know.
I do understand.
Why do you have to be
such a jerk about it?
Welcome to Nebraska.
We weren't the only ones
One day Joseph told us
he was running away.
He said he couldn't
take it anymore.
He was pretty scared.
I wasn't.
- I'm scared.
- Me too.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
I said I'd come back foryou.
I promise.
- Can we go with you? Please!
- No.
I'd never make it with you two.
- But we don't like it here.
- I said you'll be alright!
As long as nobody finds
that pictures you've been drawing.
She can't help it.
That won't matter
to Isaac and Malachai
They'll take it as a sign.
Anyway, you now crayons
and drawings are forbidden.
- Just like that record player.
- But we like it.
Isaac doesn't let us do anything.
You just better mind
until I get back.
Or else, you know what happens.
- Are you going through the corn?
- I can't go no other way.
- What if...
- I said it'll be alright.
- Unless you tell anybody I'm gone.
- We won't.
Cross your heat? Hope to die,
stick a needle in your eye.
You know what that means now?
If you tell, you're gonna burn in
a lake of fire for all eternity.
Make sure nobody's looking.
- Okay. Go!
- Nobody's looking.
I spy...
something that begins
with the letter "C".
- Corn.
