Worrying your mother,

staying out till almost 9!

We were

just on the beach.

You knew

this was our first day here,

Yet you made me walk up

and down the beach

Hunting for you

and your brother!

Dave, stop hounding at them.

Go get undressed.

Tell 'em, Bud.

Tell 'em!

Tell us what?

We can tell 'em, can't we, Bud?

Yes. I know.

What's the matter?

What are you talking

to yourself for?

Are you sick?

No, I'm all right.

Weren't you gonna

tell them, Bud?

We found something

that fell out of the sky

This afternoon.

We know where it is.

The sky?

Bud's telling the truth.

I saw it too.

It fell out of the sky.

Well, you've gotta

believe him!

How long did it take you

to dream up that yarn?

I didn't dream it up.

You think a lie like that's

going to make it all right,

Staying out until all hours?

It's not a lie.

Something's wrong.

I know it is.

Something is wrong.

You're upsetting your mother.

Let's go to bed. Come on.

Dad, you've gotta believe me!

Believe what?

Some crazy story you made up

for an excuse!

Listen, for two cents,

I'd...

I can't move my arm.

It's not a lie, Dad.

Please sit down

and listen to me.

You too, Mom.

We were coming back

from the rocket site

And all of a sudden we heard

this strange sound.

What are you doing here?

I'm ready.

She knows, Dad.

Come on.

Where do you think you're going?

I asked you a question!

I was just going out

for a walk.

You're a liar.

You're up to something.

Please, Joe, let me go.

I'll be back soon.

You're going

nowhere except to bed.

I've got to go!

You little sneak!

Come back here!

Come back here!

Come back here!

Hey, Bud, Ken, wait for me!

Come back here!

I'll break your neck!

Hey, Bud, wait for me!

Come back here!

Come back here!

I'll break your neck!

Come back here, you!

Come back here!

I'll teach you

to run away from me!

Good night, Bud.

Good night.

So long.

Goodbye.

So long, Tim.

Oh, Timmy.

Don't cry, Mom.

I'm not crying,

Tim.

Eadie!

Hi, Daddy.

Brewster, what's this all about?

Where have you all been?

You see, Mr. Johnson, I thought

I heard something on the beach

And Eadie saw me...

I couldn't sleep so I...

I don't know how you raise

your kids, Brewster, but I...

What's that

you're holding there?

Just an interesting

rock formation I found.

I don't like my kids

staying up

Until all hours of the night.

I'm sorry.

Hank!

What is it, Peg?

Hank, it's Joe.

He's dead.

Dead?

Yes, please come.

Get in the trailer, Eadie.

Don't go, Dad.

You don't have to go,

Mr. Brewster.

Go home, kids.

It's all right, Mom.

We got it.

We walked and got it.

And Joe Gamble

was killed.

Killed?

Joe tried to hurt Timmy.
