Sketch (2024)

[bunniefuu]

I mean she only

drew a picture, right?

She didn't

actually hurt anyone.

She didn't

hurt anyone. No.

But Ms. Thompson was

concerned when she saw it.

Okay.

I mean, come on.

How bad can it be?

You know?

Mm. Wow. All right.

We felt a phone

call wouldn't convey the...

Blood?

Well, the seriousness.

That's a lot of blood.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I mean, this

down here could be grass.

The grass is

coming out of the boy's head.

Oh, yeah, it is.

She also labeled it.

Oh, she did.

She sure did.

That's helpful.

This boy

in the picture,

is he based on

a real person?

Bowman.

Seems like you have a

lot of strong feelings

about Bowman.

You know, feelings aren't bad.

You can't

really control

how someone

makes you feel.

Inbox.

What?

My Dad says that you

can't control your inbox,

but you can

control your outbox.

I love that.

What kind of stuff have

you had in your inbox lately?

It can fill up

really quickly sometimes.

And when it does, it's easy to

lose control of your outbox

and react to

others in negative ways.

Can you think of any--

Pulling out their eyeballs.

Okay.

Feeding them to,

like, millions o..

You're right.

Those would be very--

Pushing them off

of a plane with a parachute,

but when they pull the

cord instead of a parachute,

it's just poisonous snakes.

Okay, pause.

I have a

question for you, Amber.

And you can be

totally honest with me.

Okay.

Did you actually want something

bad to happen to Bowman?

Then it sounds like

you did the right thing to me.

I think drawing this

was a much healthier choice

than pulling out his eyeballs.

What do you say?

You know what

you could have done

that would

have been a lot worse?

If I took a machete and--

I'll show you.

Right here.

What do you see?

Nothing.

You could have let

that anger sit inside of you,

growing bigger, stronger,

and scarier, but you didn't.

You put

it right here.

Where it can't hurt anyone.

I apologize. I usually have

ones that are less cat-centric.

This is

your new outbox.

You told her about that?

When you get

angry, sad, or scared,

you know, all that

stuff that goes in your inbox,

put it in here,

and you don't

have to let anyone see it.

But I would encourage you,

when you're ready,

to share it with someone,

preferably your Dad,

and talk about it.

Okay?

Do you have a pen?

Ah!!

What?

It's a serving plate.

Why do you

need a serving plate?

Pizza comes

in a serving plate.

No, it's nicer

when it's on a plate.

The special plate is

for one person on special days.

This dilutes

the special plate.

Okay, you never used

the word dilute in your life.

I know words.

Who taught you words?

Are they gonna

knock out all of our walls

to open up more space?

What?

On House Hunters,

they're always..

"I totally knocked out this

wall and opened up the space."

When are you

watching House Hunters?

I mean, I sort of do,

but only like certain ones--

What are we called

if we still have one parent?

What?

Are we orphans?

No, no.

I think we're...b*stards?

Wow, no.

You have a Dad. I'm alive.

Then what are we?

You're just--you're kids.

Just regular kids.

Am I a b*stard?

Come on.

It didn't understand.

What do you call an

orphan that still has a ..

A child whose mother has

died, but whose father is alive,

is called a maternal orphan.

Okay, good.

We're learning lessons.

That's beautiful. Thank you.

A morphan.

Yeah.

It's morphan time.

Stop.

Single dad.

-Stop.

-Pizza sad.

-Hey Jack, come on.

-I said stop!

Why'd you do that?

No, no, no.

Leave her alone.

Leave her alone, Jack.

Leave her ..

No, don't throw it away.

No, it's broken, man.

Well, we can fix it.

No, we can't fix it.

Yes, we can. I can.

No, you can't, man.

Whatever.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Yeah, I know.

Outbox.

I wasn't

even gonna say outbox.

Dad!

Yeah?

Jack drew a butt on my face.

Hey sweetheart, I can't

right now. Can you talk to Mom?

Mom!

Yeah?

Jack said he was

gonna draw a mask,

but he just drew a butt.

Come here.

How are we

going to fix it?

Don't worry.

I have an idea.

What are you drawing?

It won't be a butt,

I promise.

Why does Jack

always draw butts?

Because butts

are awesome.

There we go.

Now we match.

I can still see the butt.

Wait!

What the--

There's other seats.

Dad!

Yeah?

I left my

notebook in my room.

Oh--

Hey, sweetheart, let's

just leave it home for today,

okay?

You will-- You'll

be okay. You really will.

Promise you won't look at it.

I will not look at it.

I-- I promise.

Give her your covenant.

What?

Give her your covenant.

-Wha--

-Give me your covenant.

I got-- What are we, a cult?

Yo! We good?

I-- I give you my covenant.

Now forge a blood oath.

Go to school. Thank you!

Covenant?

Amber.

Amber.

Amber!

What?

No, thanks.

I won't tell anyone.

No.

It's okay.

No!

Amber, stop being a jerk.

Just take the notebook.

What the--

That had my

homework in it.

Jack, sit down.

Grab a seat.

She threw my notebook

out the window.

I didn't see it. Sit down.

I saw it.

Both of

you in a seat now.

I was never standing.

Sorry for trying to help.

Oh.

Do you have a trimmer?

Oh my gosh!

Sorry. I should have knocked.

Do you have a trimmer?

There's a spot out in the front

..

Yeah, I'll get you one.

And not to be

shrill about it,

but I'm still

seeing a lot of faces.

Oh, sorry. Yeah, I

meant to take those down.

Where are you gonna be?

What?

Where are you gonna

be while they're in here?

My van.

What van?

My van in the driveway.

In the driveway?

You know you can't, like, come

in while they're here, right?

What kind of

a question is that?

It's just

something you don't do.

I'm not gonna come in.

Okay, well, promise me.

I give you my covenant.

What?

Exactly. That's a weird

thing to..

Covenant?

This house looks better

than it'..

When are we

gonna call this done?

When somebody buys it.

So a patch of grass

and some pictures of my kids

is gonna prevent that?

Do you want

to sell this house?

Yeah.

Why did you pause?

I didn't pause.

Because that was

a rhetorical quest..

I said yes.

We have people

coming in, like, 30 seconds,

so you gotta not pause

when I ask that question.

I didn't pause.

Mm.

Now you're pausing.

Okay, well, if you're having

second tho..

It was just a pause.

This is crazy.

So you admit to pausing.

Okay, well, you're

the most exhausting person

that was ever birthed.

Do not come in the house.

You're better than that.

Come on.

Oh, oh.

Come on.

Sh--

I'll probably

knock out this wall?

This load-bearing wall?

Oh!

This is my brother, Taylor.

Hello.

Hi, pleasure...

Come on.

Yeah, why don't we go

look in the main room, OK?

OK,

Taylor. Taylor. Taylor,

Taylor, ..

And as you can

see, this room is big enough

to fit a California King.

So that's the--

So sorry, sorry...

Sir?

Sorry. Amber has this--

OK, well, it's fine.

OK.

We'll try again at three.

Yeah.

You did this.

Ah!

Hey!

Hey!

How was your day?

Amber got in

trouble again.

What?

What?

What even is all that?

Tentacles.

Let me see.

OK. Go to the

bathroom and wash it off.

We already tried at school.

Well, clearly

not hard enough.

But first, bring

me all your art supplies.

Why?

Because I'm going to take

them f..

What?

OK, no. I'm going to take them

for the rest of the we..

That's not fair.

What's not fair is people think

of the wrong thi..

I don't care

what people think of me.

Oh, well, you should.

No, I didn't mean that.

You know what I meant.

Why is my

notebook brown?

Oh.

OK, look.

I had to clean up

everybody's room

before the showing today,

and I accidentally

spilt coffee everywhere.

Did you look at it?

Why did you pause?

Oh, come on.

-You looked at it?

-Sweetie.

You gave me your covenant.

You still have my covenant.

Do you even know what it means

to give someone your covenant?

Do you?

Hey, Aunt Liz is

here to show the house,

so we've got

to get in the van.

What are you doing?

I found chalk in the closet.

Thank you.

Is that of me?

Wow.

You drew

that very fast.

Eyeders.

Eyeders.

They're taking your stuff.

Mm, my stuff.

Your phone,

your coffee mug,

your fingernails,

your eyeballs.

OK, I got it.

I got it.

Do you know what I miss?

You used to

bring me all this stuff.

Like every 10 minutes,

you'd walk into my room

and bring me 18

new things you'd drawn.

You'd just throw them away.

One second.

Is that mold?

No, that's not mold.

That's a child's art project,

right?

Because it's

taped to the wall-- Taylor?

I know. I know. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

He doesn't come with the house.

You know.

Would you ask

him if that's mold?

It's not mold.

All right.

OK.

Pit of hearts.

Yep.

Super Lion.

Hmm?

A monkey having

the time of his life.

Um--

Dave.

Dave.

Dave-- is he?

He's sleeping.

Dave, who is sleeping?

Daddy?

Wyatt force.

Remember that?

Here.

You have every

right to be mad at me.

You really do.

I'm so, so sorry

I looked at your..

I really am.

But do not tell

me that I don't treasure

every single thing

you've ever made for me.

Every single thing.

You have to

promise not to freak out.

I won't freak out.

I won't.

This is the Blood Eater.

It eats blood and pukes

the blood back onto people.

OK.

This is the Tattler.

It tells this blind one where

you are so it

can come k*ll you.

Hmm. OK.

These are Stabadons.

Hmm.

They swoop down

and stab you in the face.

My god.

And you've

seen this one.

Oh, yeah.

It's a-- it's an old

family favorite.

I see you colored it in.

Do you think

it made it less scary?

Oh, no.

No, you don't

have to worry about th..

No, no, no.

Oh, come on.

I couldn't

find a picture of it,

so I had to

draw it how I remembered.

Yeah.

Well, you did a good job.

And all this,

you're incredibly creative.

Here's the thing, OK?

I think life

is all about balancing

the good and

the bad, you know?

So look, look,

if you don't--

if you don't

carry the good with you too,

then it's just going

to make the bad stronger.

No, no, no, no.

I'm not saying

get rid of the bad.

I'm just saying

you might want to include

a little bit

of the good.

That's it.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I just want to

add a couple things.

OK, that's my only copy.

Oh, now you're drawing.

All right.

OK, what's that?

Snake toes.

Snake toes.

In case people don't

die when h..

Yeah, that tracks.

That's smart.

Shoes.

What about

this thing to me?

Hey, do you want a sandwich?

In a second.

Are those Mom's ashes?

What are you doing here?

Why do you have Mom?

-I don't.

-Yes, you do.

It's right there.

I don't have it.

Amber stop.

Amber stop.

My notebook.

No, don't

touch the water.

Oh.

Did Dad see you leave?

Oh, it's ruined.

Did Dad see you leave?

Come on.

Close your window.

Jack.

What?

On every page.

Jack?

Don't tell Dad.

Thanks for leaving the

newspapers out for me to carry.

-Morning.

-Rick.

I think we got robbed.

What are you

doing over there?

Working.

Did you at

least call this in first?

It's the next

thing I was going to do.

I mean people really break in

just to steal office supplies.

Ruler's all out.

Where are you going?

Uh uh. No, no.

No, thank you.

Hey, oh.

New day, new day.

Let's go, let's go,

let's go.

My goodness.

Ah, look at that light.

All right.

Let's go.

Amber?

I'm in here.

Amber, sweetheart.

What are you doing?

Did you sleep in

there the whole ..

I heard tapping on my window.

Tapping?

What kind of tapping?

Like scratching.

Oh, well, it's

probably just a bird

or a

squirrel, sweetheart.

What in the--

Well, maybe it's just

bird poop or something.

One sick bird.

Let's get dressed.

Come on. The bus is on its way.

Come on.

What were you

doing out there?

None of your business?

All of my business.

I will tell you everything.

But--

Ugh, did you just lick my hand?

That's dis..

We'll talk

about it on the bus.

No, we'll talk

about it now.

No, we're going to

talk about it on the bus.

Hey, Jack.

Hey, Jack.

Hey, Amber, can you tell--

tell Miss Thompson to

hold the bus for just a second?

Um, hey, is--

is everything OK?

Yeah, why?

Well, I mean, I know I've been

working through some stuff

with Amber lately.

And you might not feel like I'm

really ava..

Yeah, you know, it's--

It's fine.

But I am. And I-- and I--

and I don't want you

to be afraid

to come to me with anything.

What is it?

You know Amber's notebook.

Yeah?

I found this

place in the woods

where Mom used to, like, walk.

Yeah?

It fixed my phone and put

the special ..

What are you talking about?

We dropped

Amber's notebook in it.

And now I'm worried

that Amber's drawings might be--

Yeah?

Alive.

OK, get on the bus.

What?

I'm trying to

be real with you, man.

-Uh, so am I.

-Just get on the bus.

But-- I know

this sounds crazy.

Listen to me.

I love you so much.

And when you're ready

to grow up and be real with me,

I'm here, OK?

Go. You're going to be late.

Sorry. Sorry.

Hey, weirdo.

I'm not even going to comment on

how disgusting this is, OK?

And how long

have you had vines here?

Their roots are growing through

the screen, Taylor.

The people coming this

morning are a sweet, young,

fiscally responsible,

and incredibly boring couple.

The only way they're

not going to love this place

is if some creepy weirdo keeps

busting in

every three minutes.

Did you take my mug?

And I swear to

you, Taylor, if you do that,

I will m*rder

you in front of them.

What the hell is this?

My mug was right here.

OK, I'll take care of it.

You go.

What about the mess?

You're holding it.

Oh, oh.

Oh, I see you took down--

All the faces?

Yeah, because the person

that said they w..

Oh, yeah, sorry.

Can I actually ask you

a question about the faces?

Yeah.

I noticed that--

was that intentional?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

What were you

doing out there?

What was that sound?

Can we talk

about this later, please?

It sounded like a roar.

It wasn't a roar.

Yes, it was.

If it was a roar, it was

probably just a mounta..

Hey, we don't

have mountain lions.

Thanks.

No problem.

We do have bobcats, though.

It was probably just a bobcat.

It wasn't a bobcat.

What were you doing out there?

What was that pond?

And what made that roar sound?

A bobcat made that roar sound.

And the pond was just a pond.

And I was out there doing--

My cousin once saw a

bobcat in his living room.

This is a

private conversation.

Yeah, on a public bus.

What is that?

Old people music.

She's talking about

the blue stuff in the road.

Hey, guys, get

back in your seats now.

Back in your seats.

Hey, Carol, I've got--

Bowman.

Hands

off the honk.

Just run it over.

I'm going

to run you over

if you don't get back

in your seat.

That's child abuse.

Tell Miss Thompson

we need to leave.

What? Why?

Carol, it's 92.

Come in.

Miss Thompson.

Hey, I just came

up here on a wreck on Madison

involving a pickup truck and--

Miss Thompson!

Amber, what is it?

It's not a bobcat.

What?

He's going to eat us.

Shut up.

It's gonna eat us

and take our skin.

In that order?

You guys, calm down.

Maybe it's not

as scary as it looks.

You're

immediately wrong.

Y'all better be seated.

He's chasing us.

Are you OK?

Amber, are you OK?

Is anyone hurt?

She's dead.

We don't know that.

Miss Thompson,

are you dead?

She's not going

to answer you.

Because that's

the signal for dead.

Miss Thompson?

I'm going to

check her vitals.

What are her vitals?

Something only boys have.

Her heartbeat.

Is it one finger or two?

Try three.

It's not three.

I can feel her heartbeat.

And I can see her breathing.

Front door is jammed.

Can we get out the back door?

No.

Amber, how do

you know that thing?

Leave her alone.

She was saying we need to leave.

Stop screaming.

You are the reason it

attacked us in the first place.

How?

You woke him up

when you beeped ..

His name is Dave.

He crushes people.

And his snake toes k*ll whoever

doesn't die from crushing.

He used to be sleeping,

But you woke him up.

His name is Dave?

How do you

make him fall asleep?

I don't know.

How do you make

someone fall asleep?

Bedtime story.

-Lullaby.

-Hypnotize them?

-Shut up.

-I'm helping.

Lullaby.

The other car.

What other car?

With the door open.

When we got here,

it was playing--

Music.

We can make him

fall asleep using music.

Where's my phone?

There it is.

Jack, hurry!

Get outta there!

Jack, get away from it!

You had a

phone this whole time?

It's not a phone,

it's an iPod.

It basically does

everything a phone does

except call people.

Bowman, can

one of us have a turn?

Almost got it.

Turn it the other way,

you're doing it wrong.

Come on.

Got it.

I got it, yes.

Done with this.

Great work Bowman,

now pull one of us up.

I'm starting to get

why you hate that kid.

I'm right behind you.

This is the next track?

What is this playlist?

Hello?

Hey, sorry, you're breaking up,

can you repeat that?

How is my phone--

Where's my phone?

-I think this is the one.

-Great.

Sorry, I can't find my phone

and the school's

trying to call me.

I think something

might be wrong.

I'll try calling you.

Sorry.

What the hell?

What the hell?

I just saw a spider.

We usually don't

have spiders around here.

Actually, I'm lying,

we have a ton of spiders.

We live near the woods.

Um, you're bleeding.

What?

I'm sorry, can you

elaborate on what you mean

by a ton of spiders?

Taylor.

The school just called.

What?

I drew Dave

attacking the school bus.

Clearly.

I drew monsters

attacking other people, too.

Like who?

Hello?

Dave?

Shoo.

Get, go on, leave.

Go away, you annoying--

What the heck?

Shut up, you calm down,

shut up!

Calm down, shut up,

just shut up.

Are you blind?

What are you doing here?

Saving you, B-hole.

Oh no.

How do you defeat this one?

-I don't know.

-How do you not know?

I just don't.

That's not crayon. What is that?

Marker?

Disgusting.

I'd like to go indoors now.

Taylor, Taylor.

Hey, it's Jack.

Leave a message

and I'll never listen to it.

Two students

are accounted for

they're at a gas

station down the road

with just minor injuries.

Well, are they my kids?

We have Carson Quinn

and DeMarcus Davidson.

They said they did

witness Jack, Amber Wyatt,

and Bowman Lynch

make it off the bus,

but they can't confirm

they made it to the gas station.

They're probably

headed home right now.

I bet that's

where they're going.

Oh God, I hope not.

I knew she had

something to do with this.

She's evil, a real life witch.

She's not a witch.

Maybe I am.

See?

Amber, you're not a

wi..

What if I am?

You don't know.

-Take off your shoes off.

-Why?

Because my Dad will k*ll

us if we track mud in here.

Your Dad? Oh no!

Daddy?

Dad?

Amber...

The van is gone.

Dad's not here.

How many of those

things are out there

looking for me?

She didn't just

draw them for you.

She drew them

for a bunch of people.

But mostly you.

What is your deal?

Hey, back off.

You back off.

Your sister's a witch

who hates me.

It was her idea

to save your life, not mine.

So call her a

witch one more time--

-She's a witch.

-Are you for real?

You told me to.

Sit down and face the wall!

And take your shoes off!

Dr. Land said that drawing

was the right thing to do.

Whenever I thought

of stuff like that,

I would draw it and

then I wouldn't feel it anymore.

I promise I didn't want this.

I know how we can

get rid of them.

Look, I know

you think I'm insane.

I'm processing it.

The spider I saw

in the house

looked exactly like the

one she drew in her notebook.

Well, don't

you think it's possible

that she saw

one of those things

-No.

-and that's what gave her the

idea to draw

it in the first place?

No, because it

was an eyeball with legs.

I saw an eyeball

with legs, all right?

When do you see that?

And then she

says it goes around

and steals your

personal belongings and stuff.

-Come on.

-She calls them eyeders.

-I love her brain.

-Why would you say that?

No, I'm with you.

I'm here.

I just, I think maybe you're

being a little crazy right now.

Oh!

What is that?

What are you doing?

No, don't get out.

No, no, I want to see.

What the--

What is that?

Oh my...

-I know this cat.

-What's wrong with it?

-Don't touch it.

-Don't swat me.

There's more to this

cat than what it's letting on.

Did you just say

there's more to this cat

than what it's letting on?

Can you just

trust me on this, please?

Does it have

some sort of skin condition?

Gah!

There was more to the cat.

-I told you.

-Shut up.

Amber drew that?

Just the

horrifying parts.

Huh.

She's working

through some stuff.

Okay.

Gah!

What kind of stuff?

It needs to be a weapon.

Something that

can k*ll them all at once.

-A huge g*n.

-No.

-A small g*n.

-No.

-A bunch of small g*ns.

-Stop talking!

I'm helping!

This needs to be something that

..

That will instantly k*ll

all the monsters,

but only the monsters, at once.

Like a /k*ll @e.

Slash what at who?

/k*ll at-sign E.

It's from Minecraft.

If you put type equals

and whatever you want to k*ll

in the brackets, and it kills

all the entities of that type.

Like the

one-hit obliterator.

I don't think that's how the

one-hit obliterator works.

You guys are nerds.

You just

referenced Zelda.

It's a good idea.

But you should do it.

Amber?

Me drawing is what

started this.

And maybe

it's what will end it.

This is what

will end it.

That's just a huge g*n.

With a

bunch of smaller g*ns.

-Give me the marker.

-No.

-Give me the marker.

-No.

Why are you like--

just give me the marker.

You are the

worst person--

That poor girl's never

gonna wanna draw

anything ever again.

That's always kind

of been her thing, right?

What?

Drawing?

All kids like to draw.

Yeah, but has

she always been so--

Dark?

I was gonna say creative.

Creative, yes, dark, no.

You know, ever since--

Since what?

Okay, listen, did you know what

we jus..

Can you just help me focus on

getting my kids, please?

You have a

hard time saying her name.

Amber?

Ally.

Okay, sure,

I'm preserving my energy.

Do the kids ever

say her name?

-They call her Mom, Liz.

-Mm hmm.

Do you ever talk about her?

No, I don't.

Would they,

if they wanted to?

Liz, come on.

You took all

the pictures off the wall?

You kind of made the house

look like she never existed.

Do you think that

might have something to do

with all this pent-up emotion?

No, I don't, actually.

Come on, open up dumbass.

Open up dumbass,

is that what you just said?

Do you think that any

of this stuff might be related?

No, I don't.

-Taylor.

-Of course it's related!

Of course it is.

It's 500% related and there's

nothing I can do about..

Nothing.

The only thing I can

focus on is ge..

Getting past this,

getting past that.

What the hell is that?

That's too far

away to be a threat, right?

I know we're

supposed to be scared of it,

but it's kind of beautiful,

don't you think?

Run!

Animal consumed all

of this morning's donated blood

and then proceeded

to expel it on--

Absolute

pandemonium at the mo--

Did I do

something to you?

A bunch of these

you drew for me.

Did I

do something to you?

You got me in

trouble with Ms. Thompson.

You hide my

pencil box every day.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

You sit behind me

and pull my hair,

then try to

tell me it was a bird.

It was a bird.

You convinced Mrs.

Sanchez to nam..

hamster after me, so

you could announce the class

every time Amber pooped.

Okay, that

one was pretty good.

You called me an orphan.

That was a compliment!

What?

Everyone cool

is an orphan.

Spider-Man, Batman,

Superman, all the Avengers.

Not Hulk.

Have we ever

seen Hulk's parents?

Where are they?

At their house?

A haunted house.

Usually when someone

picks on you..

it means they're

secretly in love with you.

Really, because I

think it means they're a creep.

Do you actually want

bad things to happen to me?

See those things

k*ll me and cut me in half?

Like the one

you drew on the bus?

It wasn't

cutting you in half,

I was stabbing you

really hard in the stomach.

That's not better!

Okay, done.

You put this in the

pond and all the monsters

should be wiped out instantly.

It looks like a butt.

No, it doesn't.

See, those are the

legs and that's the butt.

You're the butt.

All right, you guys ready?

No, I don't wanna do this.

I have to

go to the bathroom.

You couldn't have gone

before you put all t..

I didn't

have to go then.

Now I have to go, too.

Oh my--

How much

longer are you gonna be?

I just got in here.

How much pee

is actually in you?

Dude, just use

the one in my Dad's bedroom.

End of the hall.

Bowman!

It's on my face!

It's on my face!

Get it off me!

Get it off me!

Got it.

Come on!

Ah! Ah!

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Bowman, you grab the big g*n--

Dude!

Ah!

Where's Bowman?

Halfway to his house by now.

Have you ever

tried to open this window?

Come on!

They're on my face!

They're on my face!

I don't have to go

to the bathroom anymore.

Oh God...

Amber!

Jack!

Jack!

I'll call the police,

Taylor.

-Taylor! Taylor!

-Amber!

Jack!

-Amber!

-Taylor, come on.

Jack!

-Amber!

-Dude.

Jack!

Amber!

Jack.

Oh, Amber.

Are you okay?

Amber, are you okay?

Are you crying because it hurts,

or because monsters

just stole everything you own?

Amber, come on.

Just give me a second.

We-- we don't

really have a second.

Amber, come on!

Amber, we

don't have time for this.

Are you hurt,

or can you keep going?

Listen.

I need you right now,

Amber.

I can't do this alone.

And especially if you're

fighting me on everything.

-Stop!

-What the--

Can you shut up

for one second?

Let go of me!

You never shut up.

You just keep talking

and talking and

shouting orders at us,

and making

us follow your plans!

What is wrong with you?

I'm trying to help you,

you know that?

Me, Dad, we're trying

so hard every day to help you!

Well, it doesn't

make me feel better!

It makes me feel like

something's wrong with me--

Maybe something

is wrong with you!

Do you still have

Mom's ashes in your backpack?

What was that?

You're taking

her to the pond, right?

To finish what

you tried to do last night?

To bring her back?

What do you think

is gonna happen, Jack?

Are you just gonna bring

Mom home and say "surprise"?

Wow, that's dark.

And then what?

I'll feel better?

What's wrong with that?

Why do I keep getting in

trouble for trying to fix stuff?

Yes, you would feel better.

We all would.

Amber actually

noticed before you did.

She drew Ally's tattoo of

that butterfly in her notebook,

and she had

to do it by memory.

There's no reference

of it in the house.

I took them down,

the night after she died,

and put them in

a suitcase, because--

Oh, yes,

sorry, I'm here, I'm here.

Okay? Okay.

Thank you.

They're sending

two officers over,

they'll be here in 15 minutes.

Amber asked me

the other night

if they were orphans.

-Jeez.

-Yeah, right?

That's what they're

throwing at me.

Are they?

Yes. It's just Fievel movies

every day,..

No, are they orphans?

-What?

-What?

No, I'm right here, I'm alive.

I know you're alive.

What if they gotta be called

something? What ..

Why do they have to be

called something?

I'm looking it up.

Don't look it up,

don't look it up.

Mom dead...

They're called

maternal orphans.

Okay, so they are

called orphans.

Sorry.

And Amber abbreviated

it to "morphan."

I mean, Jack

and I were so surprised

that she even

had a sense of humor,

she's had no

sense of humor lately.

And so Jack tried to

recreate it, he took it too far,

she broke the special plate.

Do you want to hear

my two cents on all this?

No, I don't.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you.

I think you should stop

worrying so much

about the girl who's

drawing pictures of her pain

and worry a

little bit more about

the boys who

are ignoring theirs.

Is that the cops?

Tapping?

No, no, there

are doors, Taylor.

That's the one,

isn't it?

The first one you drew.

Bowman, chill

out, you're too loud.

You chill out.

That thing isn't after you,

it's after me.

I'm the one she drew

with it cutting me in half.

Stabbing you really

hard through the stomach.

Stabbing me really

hard through the stomach!

She doesn't want you.

She wants everyone.

Anything that can die.

All she wants is death.

Is that why it's

drawing more monsters?

It's drawing

more monsters

because that's what she does.

It's basically you,

right?

How many of

those things

do you think

it's drawn?

Is that how you see yourself?

I'm thinking

like a million, right?

That thing

looks nothing like you.

You're not like that.

You're smart, you're funny,

you care about people.

You're not an evil person

just because you drew

some evil pictures.

And anyone who thinks

that is stupid

and deserves to be cut in half.

Stabbed really hard

through the stomach.

Listen to me.

You also drew this.

That looks more like you.

Thanks for the sword,

by the way.

It's the diamond sword.

-What?

-From Minecraft.

That's the diamond sword?

Mm-hmm.

When did you draw this?

Isn't the diamond

sword supposed to be b..

Who cares?

She drew it green.

Then it's not the diamond

sword. It's the emerald sword.

Like a while ago.

Stop saying that

that thing is you. It's not.

It's just a

thing you drew.

That's it.

And that's

the emerald sword.

Will you shut up

about the sword, please?

I will not.

I am very right about this.

We should get

out of these woods.

Wait, what?

We're not done.

We're done.

I should have never tried

to fix this in t..

It's the whole

reason all of this happened.

Do you know what

I've been through today?

Yes.

I almost died

in a bus crash.

A blind monster

tried to eat me.

We were there for all of this.

I fought off an army of

chalk monsters single-handedly.

I didn't come all this way,

pee my pants twice,

walk through like 50 spiderwebs

just to give up and go home

before I got to

use my flamethrower.

Wait. Flamethrower--

What the--

Give me those.

You ruin everything.

You peed your pants twice?

We've been

indoors most of the day.

Even if we did

use the flamethrower,

we don't have a weapon anymore.

Use mine.

Why'd you bring that?

For this

exact situation.

And also, I want to frame it.

That's not gonna

wipe them all out at once.

Then we draw a new one.

We can't.

Why not?

Because we don't

have anything to draw with!

Yes, we do.

She was pulling sharpies

and paper out of that backpack.

We could use those

to draw a new butt

and put it straight

into the pond.

We really need to

stop calling it a butt.

We're fine with it

being a butt.

It was never a butt.

We just need to get her

away from the pond.

I can do that.

This is a bad idea.

We don't know

how fast she can run.

But I know how fast I can run.

How fast?

Lightning speed.

By the time

she catches me,

you have butt 2.0

in the pond,

and she'll be deadsville.

What if it doesn't work?

We're doing this.

Just make

sure it works.

How are you going

to get it to chase you?

By doing what I do best...

being a huge b-hole.

That was supposed

to be a whistle.

I've never tried

to do it that loud before.

I'm normally a

very good whistler.

You want to come up here?

I want to show

you something.

It's real cool.

Come on.

Hurry!

Eat this!

Nope.

That's not

lightning speed.

Draw whatever you want.

I don't care.

Just get it in the pond.

-Crayon, right?

-What?

-Her skin is crayon.

-Yeah?

Good.

Amber, draw!

Gross, gross, gross, gross,

gross, gross, gross!

Who the hell are you?

Where are my kids?

Who are your kids?

Amber and Jack!

Oh!

Amber!

Just draw a weapon!

Any kind of weapon!

Come on!

I'm not afraid of you.

You're just a

thing I drew.

She also drew this.

You wanna be my girlfriend?

-What?

-Wow.

My uncle can get

us free movie tickets.

No.

That's cool.

No worries.

Where'd you find that?

It was, uh, still in my pocket.

No, before.

Where did

you find that before?

Jack!

Amber!

Daddy!

Amber, get back!

Yah!

Amber?

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

Why do you have tentacles?

I dipped my arms in

the pond to save Jack.

Then he saved me

with the diamond sword

by chopping

evil Amber's arm off.

It was amazing.

Every part of

that was horrifying.

I know!

Watch this.

The hell?

Jack?

I think I know

what you're about to do.

Before you do it,

please hear me out.

I know you miss Mom.

I miss her too.

I miss her so much.

And I have done a

terrible job

of letting you guys

see how much.

This whole time, I

thought we had to fix Amber.

But Amber was

the only one doing

what we're

supposed to be doing.

Not running

from the pain.

Not covering it up.

But feeling it.

I let you down, man.

I never gave us time to hurt.

Because you're you,

because you're thoughtful,

because you're compassionate,

you felt the need to fix it.

That's not your

responsibility, man.

All you needed to--

I'm sorry.

Aw, buddy. Jack, Jack.

She's gone.

I know.

I know.

I love you, buddy.

I didn't mean to.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Jack!

Sup, orphan?

Sup, b-hole?
