We Are What We Are Page #5

Get off me!

Iris, make it stop. Make it stop! Would

you please make it stop. Please!

Please, Iris!

Please, please, please...

- Did you kill the monster?

- Yeah, yeah. Yes I did. Yes.

Tell Daddy supper is ready.

Are you okay?

I didn't know it was gonna be like that.

I won't do that again.

He cant make me.

Nobody can, not even God.

- Hi! I came by to see how the little man is doing.

- He's fine. Better.

I brought you some lasagna. Have to

use it before it goes bad, so...

It's vegetarian.

- Sweet of you.

- I heard somebody down in the shed earlier.

It must've been Daddy. He's the

only one allowed down there. Ever.

Well, it sounded like a girl, crying.

I don't know what you think you

heard, but you must be mistaken.

Thanks. Good night.

Good night.

Thank you for the sustenance we receive.

Blessed are the lamb,

for they are his offering. Amen.

Amen.

It's good.

Your mother would be proud.

- Eat your food, Rose.

- Yes, Daddy. It's just hot.

Blow on it.

It takes more than a flood to

bring this family to its knees.

- It looks like pot glow.

- And what is pot glow?

Means it's been boiled.

Listen, you find anything else you give me a call.

I'll be at my office at the morgue.

- F***in' "pot glow."

- Thanks!

Iris! Iris, wake up!

Get up.

You should call a girl when

you're gonna make a visit.

Morning, Iris.

- What are you doing in my creek, Anders?

- Wastin' my time, gettin' my feet wet.

I don't mind so much now

that you're around.

- I can get you a pair of my daddy's socks.

- You think so?

I know so. Come on up.

So... what are you looking for?

I, uh... I probably shouldn't say, it's nothing.

You can tell me. Hell, you were

the first boy I ever kissed.

- You prob'ly don't remember though, do you?

- No, no... I remember.

So, you can tell me... what are you looking for?

The storm just washed

some things way down creek.

- Well, what kind of things?

- Bones.

We been findin' bones 'round here since I

was a little girl. Deer and 'coons, mostly.

- No, but Doc Barrow thinks that these are human.

- You're just funnin' me.

No, I swear to God,

that's what he thinks.

But the sheriff, he's not buyin' it, so...

so I don't know.

Let me get you those socks.

Hey, uh... Hey Iris, could I get a glass of water?

Iris?

- Jesus!

- What are you doing here, Anders? Something wrong?

No. No, uh, I just got my socks wet.

- Iris was gettin' me a dry pair from upstairs.

- What is that?

It looks like some sort of old tooth or something.

I found it out in the creek. Thanks.

So, how old are

you now, Rose?

- Fourteen.

- Fourteen...

- You're growin' up.

- It happens.

Yes, it does.

Catch.

Ah, thank you.

- What's this?
