because that was his name.

So what happened to Jackie and Curtis?

Did they live happily ever after?

No.

They just sort of lost touch.

It's not a very good ending.

No, it isn't, is it?

In fact, Dad, it sucks.

It's not fair!

Why did we even rent the damn boat?

You're right, Josh.

We'll turn the keys in tomorrow.

They're on the kitchen table.

No, that's not what I mean.

This is seriously affecting my development.

Joshua, look. He's having fun.

Dad, he's a moron.

Hiro! Hiro!

You're gonna look great in this hat.

You guys wanna hang out here

while I drop by Dr Bell's?

I'll come with you.

No, no, thanks, honey.

- It doesn't do anything.

- Go on.

A hundred?

Enjoy yourselves. I won't be long.

Dad, this is...

Frank.

The last time we met, you were describing

the euphoria you experienced...

during your hallucination with the monster.

Jack!

Everyone, this is Dr Jack Black,

Hi, Jack.

Hi, Jack.

Jack, did you want to join us?

Frank, do you have anything

Now, Frank...

why did this experience make you happy?

Because he suddenly felt free.

- Like a kid again.

- Yeah.

Yeah, like a kid again.

Frank, do you have anything

It'll pass.

Actually, it sort of comes and goes.

What does?

Feeling scared.

Simon, why don't we let Frank

describe his own feelings.

How are you feeling, Frank?

Scared.

Now, Frank, that's what Simon said.

It's very important

that you find your own words...

to describe your own feelings

and your own experiences.

So are you saying

you're no longer as happy...

as you once were about your experience?

No.

It's just that sometimes,

it feels as though someone...

Yes, Frank?

- Tell them.

- Someone's trying to...

Someone wants to...

Kill you!

- Yes.

- Yeah.

Like there's something really bad out there.

Like evil forces all around you.

- It's like, in the air you breathe.

- Everywhere.

And it's only getting worse.

Yeah!

- And voices, like giant mosquito noises.

- Yeah, mosquito noises.

Except they're all distorted, like...

Like that. Yeah.

I don't hear buzzing. I

don't scratch my gut.

I don't believe in Orky.

I'm not a nut. No!

All right. Gentlemen. Everybody! Hey, guys!

Guys! Guys?

Oh, my!

Keep an eye on them.

If they get any closer to the site,

we'll have to move to plan "B".

Damn monster-huggers.

Dump her in the usual spot, boys,

and keep a low profile.

Okay, boss.

China?
