of the park for your poor,

hard-working mom?

So you're gonna get a ride

home with Coach, right?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

You're mine and I love you

and don't you ever forget it.

Boy, were you

on fire tonight!

It's the best

you've ever played!

Thanks, Coach.

Hey, can we play some more of

those game cartridges tonight?

Sure we can.

But I gotta show

you something first.

Ew.

I look stupid in this one.

No.

You look perfect.

Your expression.

Like you're having

a wonderful dream.

Neil, I've been thinking

a lot about you this week.

I'm hungry.

Sure.

You want a pizza?

I might have something

here you'd like.

Whoa!

What'll it be, little buddy?

My mom never buys

these things.

She says they're a

big waste of money.

Let's eat then.

Which one do you want?

I don't know,

what are you having?

Corn pops.

Then I'll have uh...

Cocoa Krispies.

Sh*t.

Sorry.

You do one.

Whew!

Here we go.

I like you, Neil.

I like you so much.

When I really, really

like someone...

...there's a way I

show them how I feel.

Shhh.

Angel.

There's nothing wrong with

kissing someone like this.

Don't ever let anyone

tell you that it's wrong.

It happened.

That's what I told myself.

It just happened.

And after it was over,

I looked down...

at the mess on the floor.

It was like a kaleidoscope

had shattered.

And when I swallowed, the taste

of Coach's tongue seared my mouth.

You liked it.

It's okay that you liked it.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Do you know him

or something?

I met Wendy Peterson

when I was ten.

She was eleven, one grade

ahead of me in school.

What are you doing?

Damn. No razor.

You're insane.

If I wasn't queer we would

have ended up having...

sloppy teenage sex and

getting pregnant...

contributing more f***ed up,

unwanted kids to society.

But instead, she

became my soulmate.

And...one true

partner in crime.

Let's kidnap him.

His mom says we're

supposed to take him home.

Where are you taking me?

A house with lots

and lots of candy.

Goody.

Beeewaaaaaaare.

Bewaaaare.

Bewaaare.

These are the eyes of the

Axe Murderer's victims.

- Come on, Satan.

- Hurry up, Chicken.

I never much cared

for Halloween,

but this particular year,

I couldn't shake the feeling...

that something

horrible was gonna happen.

And there was nothing

I could do to stop it.

Wait outside for me.

I'll be done in a minute.

You hold him while

I go get something.

- What are we gonna do?

- Have some fun.

- What's the matter, Satan?

- What did you say, Punk?

What a loser!

Loser!

Loser!

Brian?

Brian?

I thought that was you.

Lie down.

Lie down, retard.

What are you doing?

Shut up!

Shut up, or we'll kill you.

Point the beam over here.
