The Wicker Man Page #4

Afraid it got ruined last night. Broke.

Hey. I meant to ask you in there,

do you recognize this girl?

No?

-Where's the other woman who works here?

-She's gone up to the village school.

Where is that?

Up the hill and through the woods.

All right. Perfect.

Look, I'm sorry.

What's happening here

the day of tomorrow?

You mean, the day after tomorrow?

It's kind of a strange way to put it.

Yeah, I suppose.

I thought the other was a local expression.

Let's see.

The day after tomorrow would be

May the 2nd. Nothing, as far as I know.

No, I mean tomorrow.

What's happening here then?

I told you.

You did?

When you leave,

will you take me with you?

Hi.

Good morning.

And, Daisy, will you tell us

what man represents in his purest form?

-Yes.

-Phallic symbol. Phallic symbol.

School's really changed

since I was a kid.

How dare you stand there

and frighten my children.

Sorry. I'm Edward Malus from California.

I'm a policeman. See my badge?

I was unaware

any of my girls needed arresting.

They don't, no.

I'm here to find a missing girl

whom people are pretending doesn't exist.

-How quixotic of you.

-Quixotic?

From Don Quixote, pursuer of lofty

but impractical ideals.

Usually a man.

Look, I just need to speak

to Willow Woodward. Is she here?

Already gone, I'm afraid. You're late.

And the law won't help you with that.

Let me have your attention

for a second.

As you might've heard, I'm here to verify

the whereabouts of a young girl.

-What's your name?

-Lily.

Lily, I'm Officer Ed. Hi.

Could you pass that around

for me, sweetheart?

That is her name, Rowan Woodward.

Do any of you recognize the name

or the photograph?

There's your answer.

If she existed, we would know of her.

Now, will you please go?

Whose desk is this?

What?!

We trapped the little bird inside

to see how long he can stand it.

Now, why in the hell would you let them

do a sick thing like that?

-Where's the attendance?

-You have Sister Summersisle's authority?

No, I do not have--

You forget that this is a legal matter.

Well, I'm afraid

you still need her permission.

Put that back. Put that back.

Sorry. You're gonna have

to bear with me.

You little liars.

Rowan Woodward is your classmate,

isn't she?

Isn't she? That is her desk.

You're the biggest liar.

I'm warning you, you tell me another

and I'll arrest you myself.

That is a promise, Miss...?

Rose. Sister Rose.

Of course. Another plant. Rose.

For the last time, where is this girl?

I'll speak to you outside.

Girls, continue with your compositions.

-Well?

-You don't understand.

That's exactly right. I do not understand.

But I'm going to.

Mr. Malus, no one is lying to you.
