right here, mom.
couple minutes. i saw the last shot. that was pretty cool.
good. he said he'd be over for dinner at eight.  i mean.  he misses you, mom.
i know, mom.
guess it's showtime.
he grins as he watches the scene unfold.
mom!!!!
no.
you have to bring her back.
dad.
you're the one who wanted to move. nobody would've touched them if you didn't want to move here.
hey, don't touch her stuff. it made her crazy when people touched her stuff.
how long ago did this guy retire?
a few?
nothing. i just got spooked by a bunch of furballs.
well, i'll take one. if it's okay.
she looks like a tiger.
he's a cool lookin' dog.
what's his name?
really?
sure.
i'll be fine, dad.
that's what my bike's for.
no.
her name's tiger.
i've seen her run around the house.
shit.
just give me the cat, all right?
just give me the cat, ass-hole.
he pissed me off.
my dad's not so bad.
you shouldn't ever say that about your parents, not even your dad.
what was all that stuff about dead people coming back to life?
it sucked.
you're not my mother.
i was just going by your house. where's your bike?
is this a good spot?
why not?
hey, wait up!
drew, where are we going?
what did?
come on, that's just a bullshit story. you said so yourself.
drew, i know your dog died, but.  get a grip, man, you're freaking me out.
look, let's just get this over with.
you want me to help?
you never get over it.
it's getting pretty late. we better go.
what?
dad.  do you think.  . you think you and mom would've gotten back together?
i still can't believe she's dead.
who was that?
i'm going with you.
maybe he wasn't dead when we buried him.
mom!!!
bolts up from his pillow. awake now, face wet with perspiration. it was a nightmare. except, if it was a nightmare, why do we still hear.
we'll take him back to the kennels, dad.
you think my dad'll figure out why he's not getting better?
how can he not have a heartbeat?
i'm going as jason.
he doesn't. he hacks people up.
i'm late.
i'm going out, dad!
fuck off.
is looking on from the woods, horrified. torn.
is he dead?
is he breathing? can you hear him breathing?
we could bring him back.
just out.
i'm really tired, dad.  can i just go to sleep?
well?
what do you mean?
can i sleep over at drew's tonight?
what was that all about? you think he's trying to scare us?
do you think everyone that came back would be like gus?
dies?
go later.
all the time.
i'm not hungry.
i'm getting things ready for mom.
she doesn't have to be.
i can bring her back. the same way drew and me brought zowie back.
he did. we buried him. there's a place out in the woods.  if you bury something there, it comes back alive.
we tried it on zowie first. and then we did it again, when zowie killed gus. drew didn't want gus to be dead, so we brought him back, too.
slowly raises his head, bewildered. renee's hand withdraws into the darkness. he reaches out for her, but she's gone. the lullaby remains, beckoning from down the attic stairs.
marjorie? you know you're not supposed to be in the attic.
mom.
eat this!!!
stands near the van, holding tiger in his arms.
all set?
anywhere but here.
