Monkey, The (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

Hi, there.

Hey.

You know you've got a fair

amount of blood on you there, sir.

Oh. Huh.

Yeah, it's not even

mine. It was just this...

Never mind.

Hey, listen, I need you to

take this thing off my hands,

just make it someone

else's problem, you know?

I mean, I thought my boys

were gonna love it, but, uh...

Let me tell you,

man, they will not.

No, it's not, uh... a toy,

so just don't ever call it that.

It's a, uh...

It's...

Actually, I don't know

exactly what it is.

Besides, it appears

to be broken.

See, the drumstick seems to

be stuck in the up position.

You do not want the g*dd*mn

drumstick to come down.

Okay?

Because when it does,

I promise you, we are

all f*cked to hell.

Okay?

Woah... Oh...

Okay...

Well, sir, can't speak for you,

but, heh, I don't feel

especially f*cked to hell.

Hot dog.

Who's smiling now, you

infernal son of a wh*re?

YEAH!

I don't know

if every father

passes some secret

horror onto his kids.

But mine sure did.

Come on, baby, while

the thrill is on

Come on, baby,

let's have some fun

Come on, baby, let

the good times roll

Roll all night long

My name is Hal Shelborn.

This is me and my

twin brother, Bill.

Well, this is us

before everything.

Bill was the kind of kid who

would say, "shake on it,"

but then pull his hand back

and pretend to slick his hair.

He was older than

me by three minutes

and ate most of

my mom's placenta.

So that made him

my "big" brother.

A role he took seriously.

And he treated me like sh*t

whenever he got the chance.

I've been

meaning to tell you...

Mom says she hates you

because you made dad leave,

and now she has to go on dates.

But I managed

to love him anyway,

even if I did

sometimes fantasize

about being an only child.

I hate

you, Bill Shelborn.

My mom raised

us on her own

for as long as she

could, at least.

And my mom,

well, I can remember

her perfectly,

like it was yesterday.

Your father...

Well, your father went out

for a pack of cigarettes

and never came back.

Just made

like an egg and...

scrambled.

And sure, sure,

I could have been one of

his stewardesses, but,

of course, the deadbeat

never took me anywhere.

He just brought back

Swiss cuckoo clocks

and bonsai trees.

Knick-knacks

and souvenirs

to stuff our closet full.

And one day, my darling boys,

all that horse

sh*t will be yours.

We knew my mom thought

it was a bunch of junk.

But for Bill and me,

Dad's closet was full

of clues to who he was.

There she is.

Old deadbeat's disguise.

The hell's that thing from?

Paris, France or something?

It says, "Organ Grinder Monkey."

"Like Life."

You mean "lifelike," dumbshit.

No.

What?

Hey.give me that thing.

Here.

You think this does

junk if I turn this?

Don't, Bill. It's Dad's.

Dad's gone, f*ck.

And I'm his next of "skin,"

so legally, everything

in here's mine.

Stupid thing's broken anyway.

Don't come in our

room, dumbshit.

Shotgun, obviously.

Christ, what's worse

than a blind date?

I'd rather take my chances

and kiss a g*dd*mn frog

and see what happens.

Okay, boys!

Uh, no soda after

you brush your teeth,

and no fires,

and no video games

because of the last fire.

I tried to

tell them no fires,

but these boys are

nothing but willish.

Thank you,

babysitter Annie.

I'll be home by midnight.

Okay, boys,

I've got only one

rule for tonight.

Keep your hands off the

hot parts of the table.

Okay?

I'll try, but...

I'm just a man.

Bill, knock it off.

Holy sh...

Maybe an

experience like that

could have brought

me and Bill closer.

But it turned out

one freak tragedy

wasn't going to

be nearly enough.

f*ck.

How is her head still together?

Sh. Sh. Sh.

Don't think about it too much.

Oh, f*ck.

Uuuuhhh...

Oh, yeah.

Today, we are here

with Annie Wilkes.

Gone by accident...

rather, in an accident

because, you know,

there's no accidents.

Um... Is there a divine plan?

Sure, you know, uh, maybe.

Call it a coin toss, you

know, heads or tails, heh.

But not Annie's head

because that is,

uh, separate.

That's a separate issue. Uh...

Uh... You know, why

her, though, right?

Why Annie?

Why not you?

Or you?

Everything for a

reason, yeah, totally.

And it is what it is.

Uuuhhh...

It is what it is.

The word of the Lord.

Amen.

Everything is an accident.

Or nothing is an accident.

Either way, same thing.

It's not if or even how.

It's only when.

Everybody dies.

And that's life.

I'll die.

And you will both die.

And all of your friends

and their parents

and all of their

pets and everybody.

Some of us peacefully

in our sleep.

And some of us horribly...

violently, tied up

with a clothesline,

and screaming through

duct tape over our mouths

and all that jazz.

And to hell with it.

Come on, let's go dancing.

Well, it's Saturday

night and I just got paid

Fool about my money,

don't try to save

My heart say "Go

go, have a time"

'Cause Saturday night

and I'm feel fine

I'm gonna rock it up

I'm gonna rip it up

I'm gonna shake it up

Gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rock it

up And ball tonight

Got me a date and

I won't be late...

It might have been

on the day of a funeral,

but that probably was the

happiest day of my life.

It's funny how quickly

that can change.

Hey, kid.

Your brother says your

dad left your mom.

Lit out to Paris,

France to buy cigarettes

'cause you're a big fat

baby who cried all the time.

And man, don't

your mom deserve better?

I mean, don't she?

- Um...

- I guess that means

your mom would be wearing the

pants in the house now, huh?

I think that's how

it works, yeah.

Aw, but...

see, you're wearing pants.

And two people can't be wearing

the pants in the house

at the same time.

So, looks like you got yourself

a bit of a pants problem, kid.

Honey, I'm making PB&J.

Oh, and how am I?

Oh, I'm great! I love slaving

over my two sons all day long.

Mom!

Yeah?

Why'd you put Dad's

weird monkey in our room?

You know I don't

go in there anymore

since I found that stiff sock.

Oh, yeah.

You didn't have anything to do

with my babysitter's

head, right?

- That'd be like...

- Yo!

You really got

the hots for that thing, huh?

- I... I don't.

- It's all good.

You can have it, but...

all you gotta do is

say you wanna marry it.

But I don't wanna marry it.

Say, "I wanna be

Mrs. Stupid Monkey."

I wanna be Mrs. Stupid Monkey.

Now say...

"I wanna suck its banana."

- No, Bill, no.

- Say it!

Or I'll eat the rest of

your placenta, b*tch.

I wanna suck its banana.

All right. We have a deal.

You can have the monkey.

Idiot.

Between

the ages of 12 and 15,

the p*nis takes on

a life of its own

and becomes sensitive

to physical and

emotional horseplay.

Around this time,

the opposite sex becomes both

appealing and horrifying.

Yo, Mrs. Torrance!

Hal Shelborn's jerking

his monkey under his desk!

Honey, I'm making devil's food.

I don't f*cking want any!

Language!

Who talks to their mother like that?

What are you, a

sailor in a shipyard?

You.

It's because of you that

deadbeat Bill this to me.

You know who I'm talking

about, don't you?

That as*h*le kid who

lives in here with me...

that's Bill.

You wanna know something else?

I wish Bill was dead.

Hey, Mom, you home?

Is dinner ready?

Mom?

Mom?

You're not even making it yet?

What the f*ck?!

Oh, sh*t.

MOMMY!

The doctors called

what happened to my mom

a boomerang aneurysm.

But I was the only one who

knew what it really was.

They said chances

of it happening

were one in 44 million.

And that's just

another way to say

it has to happen to somebody.

And that's how it works.

You turn the key and

the drumsticks go up.

They come down again

when it chooses

who it wants to k*ll next.

It doesn't take requests.

It kills who it wants

when it feels like it.

And it doesn't owe

you an explanation.

It's true what it

says on the box.

It's just like life.

Uh... son,

- perhaps it's best if you...

- Shut up!

Hey, Mom!

Mom, wake up!

Mom?

Mom, that's a funny joke!

MOM!

Wake up.

Okay, you can keep talking.

Oh...

You know, your Aunt

Ida and your Uncle Chip...

never wanted kids.

Nah.

Always just kind of preferred

a life where you sit down

and you don't stand up

again until you want to.

Also, we're swingers, but...

Oh, well.

And I want you to know

we're gonna do our very

best with you boys.

It's just that our

very best might be...

pretty bad.

Oh... oh, f*ck.

f*ck!

What the f*ck?

f*ck.

I put the pieces

in a garbage bag

and made sure it got

on a garbage truck.

And I assumed that

would be the end of it.

But after that,

Bill and I were never the same.

I mean, we looked the same

because we were twins,

and, well, you know what I mean.

Aunt Ida and Uncle Chip

picked up Bill and me

and moved us to Maine.

And I guess I hoped we'd left

the worst of it behind us.

They say everything

can be replaced

They say every

distance is not near

So I remember every face

Of every man

who put me here

You going to take

off your suit, Bill?

If I take it off, then

I'll have to put it back on

as soon as there's

another funeral.

But if I don't take it off,

then I won't have

to put it back on.

So there won't be

any more funerals.

Sleep tight, you two.

I shall be

Released

Here comes trouble,

here it comes!

Why the

hell did you bring it?

I didn't. I chopped it up.

Don't look chopped up to me.

I'm telling you, Bill,

it's a bad monkey.

It's a bad, magic,

k*ller monkey.

You think it k*lled

Babysitter Annie?

Maybe. Probably.

I... I don't know.

I was going to marry that girl.

I know you were, Bill.

We should try it on purpose to

see if anyone else we know dies.

No, we shouldn't. I mean,

what if it gets one of us?

Then I promise to pretend

to be sad when you're dead.

Yeah, me too.

You think it could k*ll the

person who turns the key or not?

How the hell should I know?

Do you think Mom turned it?

I'm gonna try it.

Don't, Bill...

It was a hunting accident,

but not the usual kind.

Uncle Chip was trampled by

a stampede of 67 wild horses

in his sleeping bag

on a camping trip.

I overheard the

undertaker say that,

when they dumped the body out,

it looked like someone had

drop-kicked a cherry pie.

I don't mind

much that Uncle Chip's gone.

He was kind of an as*h*le.

I just mind more that I feel

pretty good it wasn't me.

But it's got to

be done, you know?

To keep it away from the people

who might feel really

good about using it,

like the Nazis and Russians

and "Iran-qis" and whatnot.

We knew that it

couldn't be destroyed,

so we hoped that we

could maybe contain it.

Just get rid of it.

Make it go the f*ck away.

And for a long time, anyway,

it really seemed like it had.

Ah!

I haven't seen the monkey

since we threw it down the well,

but it feels like only a matter

of time before it comes back.

This is me today.

I pretty much lost

all contact with Bill,

and I'm good with that.

He was kind of an

as*h*le anyways.

I don't have any friends,

and I do my best to

stay away from family

for fear that if

the monkey returns,

it'll k*ll someone close to me.

But staying away from family,

Excuse me!

...that's easier said than done.

Well, f*ck your mother!

Hey, Dwayne.

Oh, man!

Come in, come in.

Oh no, it's cool.

I gotta run early today.

I gotta pick up my kid.

Wait, you got a kid?

sh*t, man, that sucks.

Does it live with you?

Uh, no, no he doesn't,

but I get to see

him once a year,

so I'm taking him

to Horror Heaven.

Yeah.

Roller coasters, I guess.

Once a year?

sh*t, man, that sucks.

I bet your ex-wife's some

type of mega b*tch, huh?

Huh?

Oh! No, the once-a-year

thing, that was my idea.

It turns out I'm kind of

a bad influence, you know.

"Here comes trouble."

Who, you?

It's not like, you know,

I beheld a pale horse, and

on it was a pale rider,

and the rider's name

was, you know, Death.

But, uh...

Yeah, there has been some death.

sh*t, man, that sucks.

Pff! Jet skis,

come on. Douchebag.

"Love... Hal."

f*ck.

Feel that

parental energy...

transferred from you to me.

Petey's been asking about

you more and more, Hal.

And it's breaking our hearts.

About me?

What about me? Why?

Because

you're his father.

And he's doing a family

tree school project.

And like it or not, you're

one of the branches.

Look, I...

I care about Petey.

I do. Like, I...

I care about him

a lot, like, a lot, lot.

Just now, when we were

on the couch together,

I took your power.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I never

said you could take my power.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Ted has decided

- to legally adopt Petey.

- What?

And once the

adoption's finalized...

it won't be necessary for

you to see Petey at all.

But you can't just do that.

He can't just do that.

As the leading

expert in my field,

can't I?

Listen, you and

Petey have this time.

So just take the week,

lock in some nice memories,

and then cleanly cut it off.

Like a vestigial tail.

That's what you want. Isn't it?

No. It's not what I want.

I want to spend time with

Petey. It's just, you know...

Vestigial?

It means something that

has become functionless,

and as a result, is

no longer necessary.

- I know what it means, Ted.

- I'm sure you do.

- I do.

- Well, I have your power, so...

Well, I peed in one of your

bushes on the way in, so...

Well, this is the part where

I suggest that we arm wrestle.

What? Arm wrestle for what?

For all the marbles.

And by marbles, I am, of course,

referring to your little ba*ls.

- My...

- Hey.

Honey...

Oh, Petey. Hey.

Hey, buddy.

What are you guys talking about?

What do you

mean, it reminds you of your dad?

You talking about

the sh*t-eating grin

or the hairy back and arms?

Do you ever

wonder where he is?

Dad, I mean.

Baby, that ain't worth it.

But if you're really

looking for an answer,

I'd have to go with either...

at a card table

or under a hooker.

Oh, sick, Ma. Come on.

Gross.

Hey, Beauchamps, honey,

you want a drag?

But are you still thinking

of selling that monkey thing

to the nut who never

leaves his house?

I mean, have you ever even

met this guy face to face?

Sounds like a real

f*cking pervert to me.

So, do you have any

brothers or sisters?

Is that your family tree thing?

What gave it away?

Okay.

So, um...

brothers, sisters?

Yes, no?

Uh... no.

No to both?

Yeah, no, neither.

Only child... just like me.

And, uh, what's your mom's name?

Um...

Lois.

My mom's name was...

Lois.

Hey, uh... Oof.

It's getting kind of late, darn.

I should get you some,

uh, some dinner, huh?

Only if you want me

to, like, survive.

Cool.

Say it, or I'll

eat the rest of your placenta...

I promise

to pretend to be sad

when you're dead.

What the f*ck?!

Christ.

What the f*ck?

Hello.

Well, hello, dumbshit.

Bill.

Can't be the only

person who calls you dumbshit.

How did you know how

to reach me, Bill?

I haven't heard from you

in, what, five years?

Haven't seen you in

something like 10?

Nine and eleven,

and those are just numbers.

The police gave me yours.

What do you mean, the police?

I have news.

Aunt Ida is no more.

Oh, sh*t.

Well, I guess she

was kind of old.

Was she sick or something?

Actually, it

seems the old girl

was having somewhat

of a renaissance,

putting her house on the

market, cleaning out her closet.

The nice young

policewoman I spoke to...

used the phrase,

"freak accident."

Okay, and? What?

Someone has to go

through her belongings,

and you're the next of kin.

Technically, you're

the next of kin, Bill.

This is my week

with Petey, so no.

Your week? That's

all you get with your son?

- Also, you're weak.

- What do you want, Bill?

Go to Aunt Ida's house

and make sure "it" isn't there.

"It" is at the bottom of a well.

"It" can teleport

and you know it.

Why don't you bring

Petey along, hmm?

Let him see you being

brave for a change.

Jesus.

What do fathers

and their estranged sons

say to each other?

Road trip?

Why would it be at

Aunt Ida's anyway?

Because it's attached

itself to our family

and likes to k*ll us.

And I don't want to

die, and presumably

you don't want

Petey to die either.

And what if

I find it, huh?

What am I supposed to do,

drop it from a f*cking

plane? It'll probably bounce!

No, you never let

it out of your sight again,

so no one turns the key.

Presumably you don't

want Petey to...

Stop talking about Petey.

The monkey

must be vanquished.

Why don't you vanquish

it, huh, Bill?

You're smaller, you go.

Bill. Bi... f*ck!

f*ck!

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!

f*ck! What the f*ck?

Is that a leg? f*ck!

Okay, okay.

- Petey, wake up. Come on.

- What?

- We gotta go. Let's go.

- What time is it?

What the f*ck?

Hey, language.

And we gotta go, all right?

There was a thing outside.

It wasn't a thing.

It was a woman, and either

way, we gotta split.

All right? So come on, let's go.

It's the middle of the

night. Are you high?

No, I wish, Jesus Christ.

No, don't do drugs. I mean it.

But come on, let's

go. Hurry up.

I'm going to bed.

WE GOTTA MAKE LIKE

EGGS AND SCRAMBLE!

Hey, Petey,

uh... sorry about that.

It's just that my aunt Ida died,

and I gotta deal with

a lot of her stuff.

Can I ask you a question?

I'd really rather you didn't.

How'd your mom die?

Is this for your

family tree thing?

Because usually family

trees are about the whos

and the whens, not the whys

and the, you know, how.

Was your aunt the one that

raised you after your mom died?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, she did.

Maybe you could, uh,

take me to your

aunt's house with you.

I could help you

with her stuff and...

You're not coming

with me, Petey.

Why not?

Because it's

depressing, all right?

We were supposed to

go to a theme park,

not into, you know...

...darkness and death.

I know about the adoption, Hal.

Oh.

And so you can either just...

cut me off and cut this off,

or we can spend

the rest of the little time

that we have left together...

together.

I wonder which one

Lois would have chosen.

What are you doing in

here all alone, Hal?

Or do I not want to know?

Just thinking, I guess.

Oh, yeah?

- About what?

- I don't know.

The future.

You got any advice?

Um, well...

take care of your teeth.

And take care of your gut.

And take life as it comes.

You know, the worst thing you

can do is try to force it.

But really, I think that

the most important thing

for you to remember is...

try not to k*ll

everybody around you.

Petey? Pe...

Petey?

Petey?

Hey, Petey, buddy?

f*ck, f*ck, f*ck,

f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.

f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.

Check it out. There's

a place in town.

They do skydiving lessons.

I feel like it's

one of those things

where you're either really

good at it or you aren't.

It only takes one

lesson to find out.

Hey, funny.

That's... that's funny.

Yeah? Well, you're

kind of funny too, Hal.

Oh, and

they do weddings.

Hey, uh, do me a

favor, all right?

Uh, wait in the car

while I deal with this.

What? No way.

I want to see your old room

like they do in the movies.

No, Petey.

Why not?

Just because...

because I said so.

All right. Fine.

Then I have to go number two.

What? Why didn't

you go at the motel?

There's a lot you don't

know about me, Hal.

For instance,

I'm one of those kids that

can only go poo in a house.

Are you being serious?

It's a tough bet to lose, Hal.

Jesus Christ.

Hi.

Hey there. Sorry. Ah.

Oh, window won't go down.

- Yeah, okay.

- Hey there.

- How are you?

- Hi! I'm Barbara.

- Hi.

- You must be Hal Shelborn.

Your brother Bill Shelborn

said you'd be coming.

Oh, yeah, right, right.

Uh, hi, Barbara. Yeah.

That

brother Bill of yours

is quite the

character, isn't he?

- Yeah.

- Your brother Bill, I mean!

Yes, yes. He's quite

the character. Yeah.

Yeah. Wow, who's

this little slugger?

Oh, this is, uh, this

is my son, Petey.

Oh, hello there.

Oh, no, thanks, Barbara.

I'm just a kid who

doesn't buy many houses.

But I also didn't know

that I have an uncle.

So, yeah, thanks for that.

Um, it's funny, because

I actually asked Hal here

if he had any

siblings yesterday.

But he flat out lied to my face.

- Well...

- But it's cool.

He's only going to

be my dad for, like,

a few more days anyway,

'cause he's being swapped

out for a leading expert.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Well...

- So no card. Okay.

- No card, yeah.

- Let's see the house.

Were you and your

aunt very close?

Uh, sure. Very.

Is this all her stuff?

I felt like she had more stuff.

Oh, well, we

did have that estate sale

the day after she died.

We had a great turnout, too.

We must have made over $100, ha!

Right...

Okay.

Now, let's see, that

would have been on Sunday,

because ever since Monday,

things have been a bit,

uh, messy around here.

Yeah. Your aunt, of

course, was Monday.

And then, oh Lord,

first thing Tuesday,

it was Mitch McDonald.

And then Wednesday

was Burt Burgerson.

And then Nancy Risoli.

But there aren't any cobras

in Maine, I mean, are there?

Well, there was the one.

No, every day since Monday,

at least one Casco

local has just... poof!

Sometimes two or three or four

or even five Casco

locals have just poof...

- Right. OK.

- And poof and poof!

Great, yeah, yeah, no, I get it.

Could we look at the other

closet? It's this way, I think.

Absolutely, follow me.

Poof!

You're f*cking twins?

You know, my mother

used to always say

whenever there was a plane crash

or a school bus going

off into the river

and mass fatalities

or what have you...

She used to always say,

"Looks like God's

bowling strikes tonight."

Oh, that's odd.

I don't remember locking this.

Hey, you wouldn't

happen to remember

if my aunt had a wind-up

toy monkey at the yard sale?

Oh, no, I don't think so.

Oh, not a cherished childhood

memory, now, was it?

Oh, a first little furry friend

filled with whimsy and wonder?

No, it's no big deal. Thanks.

Okay.

Nope, not

that one.

How are we

doing with that key?

Oh... Don't you

worry your pretty little head.

Oh mercy, did I

say that out loud?

Watch out!

You are pretty, though.

- Oh!

- You know what?

- I think we should go down...

- It looks like I did

my own little process

of elimination!

No, no, no!

Everything

okay up there?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Oh, f*ck.

And you

were just standing there,

hands to yourself,

is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

And you knew there was a g*n

in the house, or not so much?

Uh, no.

Okay.

I'm gonna have to ask

you don't leave town

until we can figure

a few things out.

What? No, no, no, officer.

I promised my son that

I was gonna take him

- to Horror Heaven.

- Actually, officer,

we moved off going

to Horror Heaven.

This is obviously

far more important.

- Smart kid.

- Hmm.

Find a motel.

I'd say stay here, but it's

a g*dd*mn mess in there.

I mean, have you

actually been up there?

It's like that restaurant...

Spaghetti City.

Hey, bud, you

wanna go wait in the car?

Yeah, that's your favorite thing

for me to do anyway, isn't it?

Just stay away.

They're

bringing the body out!

Let's go, Casco!

Let's go, Casco! Let's go!

Hello?

Hal Shelborn,

please, if he's available.

- Bill?

- Thank goodness.

And Petey? Is he available, too?

Yeah, look, we're

fine, but, um...

The monkey's not here.

Aunt Ida had a g*dd*mn yard

sale, so it could've been,

but now it could be

anywhere with anyone.

Well, that's

not good. That's bad.

Yeah, there's all kinds

of sh*t happening in town,

people dying in not normal ways.

Police told me I can't leave.

Go to the

motel. Await my signal.

Await your f*cking signal?!

Wait, Bill, where are you?

Bill, are you living in town?

Stupid.

Shelborn,

Shelborn... Argh. Nope.

"Mrs. Monkey"?

Hello.

If this is in regards to my ad,

I'm happy to report

that my quest

for finding my beloved

toy monkey is over.

Thank you for calling

and be safe out there.

At the very moment

you slipped from my fingers,

I suddenly knew the terrible

truth about everything.

That my dumbshit brother

had turned your key

and k*lled my mom.

So I went back to

get you as soon as I could.

But you were gone.

Leaving behind a sign

for me and only me.

That one day, you'd be back.

And so I waited.

And for the longest time,

there was nothing.

A hundred percent, pure,

medical-grade nothingness.

But then...

there you were.

Suddenly, everywhere

I looked, you were there.

Oh, f*ck!

As constant as the sun,

the moon, and the stars.

As if you had always

been looking down on me.

Letting me know what I had

always wanted to be true.

That you'd come back to

help me seek my revenge.

I returned to the places

where I thought you might be.

Foolishly believing that I

could make you appear again.

f*ck.

That it was I who

might find you again.

So I made myself

ready for your return.

Reworking my old

childhood funeral suit

in anticipation of...

more funerals.

And so that I might once again

bear witness to

your terrible glory.

f*ck!

So I looked, and

behold, a pale horse,

and his name that

sat on him was Death.

Mrs. Monkey.

And now, here we are.

Together at last.

With only one thing left to do.

In your infinite wisdom,

I trust your flaming

sword of righteousness

will cut the foul air

and smite the right person.

And I know you know exactly

who I'm talking about.

sh*t, man, that sucks.

sh*t, man, that sucks! Ah!

What?

Um, uh, it's Ricky.

What is it?

I'm extremely busy.

Okay, yeah, so...

I hope this isn't weird,

but I was wondering,

you know, if maybe I could

give you your 15 bucks back

and instead I could just

keep the toy monkey thing.

It's not a toy, don't

ever call it that.

Right, yeah, no, I

thought the same thing too.

It just sort of makes

me think about my dad,

which I know is kind

of a weird thing

for, like, a guy to say,

like, to another guy.

Does it hurt very much

when you think, Ricky?

- Well...

- "Uh... Well, well..."

Did you know that 27% of

all English-speaking people

will either say, "oh, sh*t" or

"holy sh*t" before they die?

Now it's funny, because death

is the one big thing

that'll happen to all of us,

and yet we still can't help

but be somehow surprised by it.

Right on, man.

So anyway,

I saw your brother.

He looks like you.

With that's, like, uh...

that's, like, your

nephew then, huh?

What if Petey

turned the key?

So... so, can I have it back?

Never. I employed

you to find the monkey,

not to fall in love with it.

Now f*ck off.

f*ck you...

Hey, Ma, are you home or

are you at the factory?

Lousy deadbeat.

Yo, Beauchamps!

You got any extra b*ll*ts?

What caliber?

Hey, you still got some

of Barbara's blood on you.

Yeah.

Accidents happen.

Can I ask you a question?

Ha ha.

Uh, nope.

You ever k*lled a man?

I...

Jesus.

Does Mom know?

No, I haven't k*lled anybody.

Of course I haven't

k*lled anybody.

Look, when we get back to the

motel, I'm gonna call your mom

and I'm gonna tell

her what happened.

She'll think I'm not

safe to be around and...

she'll be right.

So Ted will just adopt me and...

you'll never have

to see me again?

You're better off

with Ted, all right?

Believe me.

f*ck you, man.

Hey, Petey...

Well, I'm here if you need me.

You just do your

thing in the bathroom, okay?

And if you wanna have a talk,

we can have a proper

talk, all right, buddy?

Yes?

It's me. You

have it, don't you?

I don't know, maybe.

Come on,

Bill, Mrs. Monkey?

I know you are, but what am I?

Stop turning the key!

Its arms aren't f*cking long

enough or articulate enough

to reach back there

itself, so somebody has to.

And also, no.

Jesus f*cking

Christ, Bill,

these are innocent people.

Look, I... I don't

care about me.

All that matters is that Petey

is safe, so stop turning it.

If you want me to

stop turning the key,

bring Petey to me so

he can turn it instead.

What? No. Why?

The person who

turns the key never dies.

You've known that since we

were kids, haven't you, Hal?

What?

What are you talking about?

Where are you, Bill?

If you want

Petey to be safe,

all Petey has to

do is turn the key

and keep turning the key

forever and ever and ever,

and Petey will never die.

Listen to me,

Bill, all right?

Let me get Petey out of here,

then we'll talk, all right?

We'll figure out

what we're gonna do.

Either I keep turning

the key or Petey turns the key.

Call me back when you

made your decision.

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Bill, Bi...

f*ck!

Hey, Petey? Petey?

Hey, Petey?

Hey, buddy, we

gotta go, all right?

I gotta take you

back to your mom's.

Petey, open the door! Come on!

Petey!

Petey, open the door!

Come on, we gotta go right now!

Jesus Christ.

Don't have a heart attack.

Or do, you know? You want

out of my life so bad,

it might just be

a nice shortcut.

Petey, what the f*ck? Why

didn't you answer the door?

Why do you care? Why

would you even have a kid

if all you're gonna do is just

keep yourself away from me?

I didn't exactly know what

I was doing, all right?

I was just a stupid, dumb kid.

So I was an accident? Is

that what you're saying?

Everything is an accident, yes.

Wow, nice one.

Great to hear.

I... That's not what I...

Yes, it was an accident, Petey.

But you are not a mistake.

I'm so glad you're here with me.

You're very precious to me.

But that's why I stay

away, because I...

I come with all sorts

of weird baggage,

and I don't want you to

have to deal with that.

- Like what?

- Like...

Bad stuff, Petey, like...

like evil stuff.

Stuff I got from my dad, and I

don't want to pass it on to you.

What are you talking

about? Like what?

Like...

Hold on.

Open up, it's the

m*therf*cking police!

All right, all right.

Shut up! Shut up and hands up!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Just relax, all right?

- Sh, sh!

- Just relax, relax.

- Get the keys.

- What?

- COME ON!

- Okay, okay!

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

All right, all right.

We're gonna go for a

little drive, okay?

Okay, all right.

All right, stop here.

Where are we?

Huh?

Where are we?

That's your brother's house!

Or his fortress.

Don't pretend like you

don't know where we are!

I don't know, all right?

We're, you know,

we're estranged.

- Ah, sh*t, man, that sucks.

- Thanks.

- Shut up!

- Okay.

You, you go inside,

you make nice with your

uncle, you get me the monkey.

- And you bring it out, okay?

- What monkey?

It's... It's got

a little red vest,

and it holds a

drum, and I need it.

Why does this guy know

about a monkey and I don't?

He doesn't know about it

and he's not going in there.

It's a toy monkey?

Don't call

it that, all right?

It's not. It's...

It's evil.

It's basically the

devil, all right?

It's a toy monkey.

I was gonna tell you when

you were older, okay?

You've been a g*dd*mn deadbeat

dad because of a toy monkey?

What the f*ck?

Hey, language, and yes, but

that's why we have to get

as far away from this

place as possible.

Seriously, kid, you gotta hope

you get that g*dd*mn monkey,

because I'm gonna

sh**t this guy.

All right, just let me

go in there with him.

- Please.

- No!

There is a

doggy door around back,

and your kid better hope that

he's scrawny enough to fit.

You don't call the

cops or do anything.

You get in there, you

get me the monkey,

or I swear I'm gonna sh**t you

both, like, a lot of times.

He's not going in there.

- Shut up!

- All right.

Go.

Hal...

this is some f*cked up sh*t.

I know.

So whatever you do,

don't turn the key

in the monkey's back.

Okay, okay!

f*ck...

f*ck.

Huh.

Kinda cool... I guess.

You're not really

a cop, are you?

Shut up! Of course not.

I hate cops.

My dad was a cop.

Still is, for all I know.

You know, my mom said he

was out chasing p*ssy,

but I'm all like, there's

p*ssy here in town, you know?

- Yeah, I know.

- But whatever.

He left.

And that's why I hate cops.

But also they're cops, you know?

Which is the best

reason to hate cops.

What the f*ck?

Uh...

What the hell is

that doing there?

Hit it with your brights.

Hit it with my brights, okay.

Oh, gross! Shut it off!

- Okay!

- Shut it off!

I'm shutting it off. Jesus!

In your infinite wisdom,

I trust your flaming

sword of righteousness

will cut the foul air and

strike the right person

and only the right person.

Uncle Bill?

Petey.

What a nice surprise.

- You okay?

- Who, me?

Yeah.

You.

It's been a long time since

anyone's asked me that.

Now that you mention it...

No.

I'm not okay.

This was my favorite

toy from childhood.

It's supposed to play the

drums, but I think it's stuck.

Could you fix it for me?

It was your

grandfather's, you know.

He brought it home

from one of his trips.

He was a pilot.

He was a Petey too.

Did you know that?

- Hal never tells me anything.

- No, of course, he doesn't.

So this is it then, huh?

The thing that

messed everyone up?

How could it?

It's just a toy.

Why don't you try

turning it, hmm?

Probably just needs

a different touch.

There.

Turning the key is

just simply something

the Shelborn men have been

doing for generations.

It's a... A tradition,

if you will.

But if it's not for you,

then it's not for you.

What does it do?

Turn the key.

See what happens.

You want me to back up?

No! Don't f*cking move.

Hey, okay. Okay.

Is it working?

Man, this stupid cop hat!

It's crazy itchy.

What?

Jesus f*cking Christ!

Let's be careful with

that p*stol, huh?

Yeah.

- Totally.

- Yeah. Right.

f*ck.

Uh...

Holy sh*t!

- sh*t! sh*t!

- Oh!

Jesus Christ! f*ck!

f*ck! Jesus!

f*ck!

f*ck!

What the f*ck?!

f*ck.

PETEY, WHERE ARE YOU?!

- Dad!

- Petey!

Turn it again.

Turn the g*dd*mn key right now!

What? No!

Then give me the

f*cking monkey!

That's it!

I'm not asking nicely anymore.

Do it. k*ll him.

k*ll my dumb sh*t

brother, and do it now!

God... damn you!

Strike the g*dd*mn drum!

God-f*cking...

I command you!

f*ck.

Godd... Will you, please?

g*dd*mn it!

Godd...

How are you so g*dd*mn strong?

Hey!

Huh? Petey!

Oh, Jesus Christ!

Ah, thank God. Come on.

God... damn it!

What did I do wrong?

Are you mad at me?

What is that?

Jesus Christ!

Ah! Godd...!

What the...

Bill.

f*ck. The drumstick's

still up, Petey.

Hello, dumbshit.

That's all you can say at a

time like this, you f*ck?!

Dumbshit's what you are.

f*ck... You f*ck!

Jesus Christ, Bill.

You were really trying

to k*ll me, weren't you?

Of course I was.

That's what all this

carnage was for, huh?

You could've k*lled Petey!

You could've k*lled

my f*cking son!

For what? Why?

'Cause you k*lled my mom.

And I know you

wanted to k*ll me.

But the g*dd*mn thing doesn't

take requests, obviously.

I've been turning the key

with you in mind for days.

Nothing.

Listen, Bill.

It's not my fault.

It wasn't anybody's fault.

None of us deserved

what happened to us.

We just happened

to be there when it did.

Mommy?

I'm sorry, Bill.

But I guess I gotta go now.

Everybody dies,

and that's life.

I'm sorry your mom died.

It f*cking sucks.

I know how you feel.

She was my mom, too.

Oh, yeah.

I guess she was.

Never thought

about it like that.

Innocent

mistake, I guess.

Sure.

Makes sense, though, you know.

We're brothers.

Twins.

Right.

I'm sorry.

I wish we could have

been there for each other

when we were kids.

But we're here now.

What do you say, Bill?

Brothers again?

Sure.

Nah...

I'm sorry.

So what, you two are on some

kind of road trip or something?

Yeah.

A kind of...

father-son road trip, right?

Cool.

I would like to have done that

with somebody at least once.

So come with us.

Jesus!

f*ck.

So Uncle Bill pretty much

wiped out half the town

where you grew up, huh?

Yeah.

I mean, I get

that everybody dies,

and that's life, but...

it's just, like, everybody dies,

you know, at the same time.

So, uh...

what do you want to do now?

I guess we gotta figure out what

we're gonna do with the monkey.

We keep it close.

We accept that it's ours...

and we hold on tight.

Hey, I just got an idea of

what we should do right now.

Let's go dancing.

- Dancing?

- Yeah.

Like,

with our bodies?

Where did that sh*t come from?

It comes from your grandmother.

From Lois.

Cool.

Yeah, it is cool.
