Virgin Mother!

Crap.

- You said it.

Hi, Mom.

I didn't know you were up.

Yeah.

Oh, God, I had another one of

my night terrors.

Well, it's 4 o'clock.

So technically you had a day terror.

- Hmm, right.

What did you dream about?

I dreamed some bad people who were

trying to nail you to a tree...

..with hammers and..

..big stakes and sh*t.

Just like JC.

But I didn't let them get you.

Because I'm a hard-assed,

Ford-tough mama bear.

I can take care of myself.

Now, you say that.

But one day you're gonna be crying out

for me and I'm not gonna be there.

"Celestial Crown"

performed by The Sword

..a terrific fire destroyed the popular local

nightclub in Devil's Kettle last night.

Yeah?

- I feel so scrumptious!

Goody for you.

You know, when you kiss your boyfriend

for the first time...

..and it feels like your entire body

is on vibrate.

Yeah.

It's that good.

Well, that's nice.

I'm little bit depressed about, you know,

..the giant smoldering funeral pyre

in the middle of the town.

Move on dot org, Needy!

It's over.

Life is too short to be mopping around about

some white-trash pig roast.

That's sweet, Jen.

You know, I tell it like it is.

And besides, you know what?

You should be happy for me,

because I'm having the best days since like...

..Jesus invented the calendar.

Jesus didn't invent the calendar.

Whatever.

The other line, hold on.

- So blow it off.

It will just be a min.

I'm crossing you out.

Hey!

I need to see you right now.

- I can bearly hear you.

Because Camille is playing the piano.

Knock it off, Camille!

- You knock it off!

Can you meet at McCullum in ten?

You knock it off, Chip!

You're penis cheese!

Fifteen?

"New in Town"

performed by Little Boots

I gotta go.

- I'm a Gd.

Okay.

I gonna meet Chip at McCullum Park.

You know, Chip is looking really cute

to me lately.

So tell me, is he like packing some

serious pubic inhes?

What's the story down there?

I gotta go.

Why are the cops at your house?

- They're not.

They're at Jonas Kozelle's house.

Why? He tried to sell fake papers to

8th graders again?

No, Needy, he was murdered.

What?

- Yeah!

Someone ripped Jonas limb from limb

in the woods behind the school.

Ate parts of him.

No one's supposed to know yet.

But my father just went over there

and talked to the cops.

His mom is like catatonic.

She's just staring out the front window like

a zombie mannequin robot statue.

This can't be a coincidence.

What you talking about, Needy?

- A fiery death trap last night,

And now a cannibal psycho takes down

the biggest guy in school, come on.

It's freaktarded.

Well, the bad luck's gotta be over, right?
