Yeah.

Thus... You guys are like celebrities.

I mean most people move out of Bensonville,

not in it.

Really?

How bout your genuine Bensonville burger?

How is that one compared to the...

Brooklyn, Boston, Philly burgers?

Pretty good.

Yeah, that's because they mix it up with squirrels out here.

Really?

Good?

Just kidding.

Your boyfriend gave you that?

- Why? You jealous?

No...

Just a friend.

So... what's up with you guys

moving around all the time?

Nothing.

People usually don't move

around the country for no reason.

I do not know ...

My mom just... wants to find a good job.

We want to find places for Lucas like a...

I do not know.

There is no reason really.

Dane, I say to come home by 4,

not start home at 4.

Would you just please come home alright!

I got to go to work.

Listen, sweetheart, honey.

I've got to go to work.

So, Dane will be home any second I promise. So...

Don't go anywhere kay?

Be a good boy. I love you.

I love you, soldier.

Okay.

Mission failed ...

Okay, Let's see how you like it.

Hey! You okay?

Sh*t!

Hang on a second!

Hey!

This isn't funny!

Dane!

Dane!

Hello?

Julie! what are you doing here in the dark?

Hiding from your new boyfriend?

Let's get outta here.

Hello!

This is Lucas Thompson!

What's wrong with you?

He came after me.

What?

That clown puppet thing.

The one you try to scare me with.

It's trying to get up here.

No!

He was right there.

He chased me.

The puppet chased you?

The one you put in my bed.

Lucas I have no idea what you're talking about.

I didn't put any clown puppet inside your room.

Yeah, you did!

I mean, I might have...

If I would have thought about it. But...

I didn't.

It... It was there!

On the steps ?

- In my bed.

Then I put it in your bed to scare you,

and then it was downstairs.

Okay! You know what?

You got all kinds of weird crap going on in there,

I don't even want to know about it.

but whatever. Clown's gone.

So we're cool.

It's still down there somewhere!

Okay, let's go look.

It was in here.

Hey! You know what? You're wasting my time.

There's nothing down here.

Who the hell's that?

One of your little friends?

I don't have any friends.

Hey!

Hey, little girl! You lost or something?

I don't want to die.

Dane! let's just stay down here.

Did you close that when you came home?

I don't remember.

Is that him?

You didn't happen to see a little girl run by here did you?

Shut up.

Eh... little girl?

She had blood dripping from her eyes.

What?

- She just had a little makeup on. Don't worry about it.

It's all good! Thanks!

Hi, Dane!
