JulieWhy would he try to run you over? Why did he make coleslaw on Helen's head? He's fucking with us! He's just out there, and he's watching and waiting!

BarryHow do you know this is even related? You did a lot of things last summer.
JulieHelen, we killed a man and ruined the lives of everyone he knew.
HelenI don't think we were that powerful Julie, you're giving us way to much credit.

HelenWell Bob, at summer's end I plan on moving to New York where I'll pursue a career as a serious actress. It's my goal to entertain the world through artistic expression. Through art I shall serve my country.

BarryA toast... to us, to our last summer of immature, adolescent decadence.
Ben WillisThat's a shame, being that it's the 4th of July and all. Kids like you should be out having fun. Drinking, partying, running people over, getting away with murder... things like that.

Elsa ShiversIs the dried-out, washed-up has-been having a moment?
HelenHey, its all about the hair. Don't you forget that. Especially when you become some big hotshot lawyer. Those professional types think its all about brains and ability and completely ignore the do
HelenBy that time I'll just be finishing my two year contract with Guiding Light, coinciding with your first year as starting quarterback for the Steelers.
HelenWhatever. Then we can elope to Europe, or the Caymans, wherever, where I'll let you impregnate me with the first of 3 children before you head off to rehab. Then we can live happily, blah blah blah.
BarryLet's just pretend he's some escaped lunatic with a hook for a hand and we're doing everybody a favor.

BarryWe're going home now and never, ever, under any circumstances known to God speak about this again is that clear? It is now merely a future therapy bill agreed?
Julie[on the phone with Ray]I miss you, too. But I'm gonna see you in a couple of weeks. God, I cannot wait. I love New York. No! Of course I love you more! Yes, I do. I love you, and you know that. But you know what? I've gotta take a shower. I'm running really late.
HelenDavid Egan. His girlfriend was killed on that same road, July 4th one year earlier. Maybe he blamed himself, maybe he was sitting in the road waiting for us to hit him.
JulieYeah but this is insane now Barry look at us, this secret's killing us.
BarryI'm not going to the police and you're not either.
JulieBarry please, we could put an end to it and maybe salvage some small fraction of a life.
BarryAnd how do we do that? Huh? There was no accident Julie it was murder, your words remember? Murder. I say we find the fuck who's doing this and have a little one on one.

MaxWell go figure, I was just thinking to myself what ever happened to that Barry Cox?
Barry[being very polite]Hey Max. Hey listen can we talk for a sec? In private?
JulieI hate this, I really hate this. You're gonna go and you're gonna fall for some head-shaven, black-wearin, tattoo-covered, body-piercing philosophy student."
JuliePlease, it's a fictional story created to warn young girls of the dangers of having premarital sex.
RayWell actually honey, you know how terrified I am of your IQ but it's an urban legend, American folklore and they all usually originate from some real life incident.

BarryEven if his body washes ashore in the next couple of weeks, he'll be eaten by crabs and small fish. Maybe we'll get lucky with a shark. Take him to the side.

BarryWhat is it with you Ray? You were dogging us from the start weren't you? Always wanting to be our friend, always wanting to be one of us but you were too fucking jealous to handle it
[He doesn't respond as he is too engrossed in a Baseball game; she goes into the kitchen, pours herself a glass of Diet Coke, takes her drink, and then heads on upstairs to get ready for bed; she changes into her night shirt and looks at the Crocker Queen crown she was awarded one year earlier, until she is startled by her older sister, Elsa]
Elsa ShiversI'm sorry, is the washed-up, dried-out, has-been having a moment?
Helen[Goes over to her vanity mirror and begins brushing her hair]What do you want?
Elsa ShiversWe're doing inventory at the store tomorrow and I want you there by 10.
Elsa ShiversFact check, Julie. Helen doesn't have a New York number. If you need to speak with her, I suggest you go to women's fragrances, ten feet to your left.
[at a counter, Helen clumsily knocks fragrance bottles over]

Julie[while visiting Missy a second time, they continue to discuss Missy's brother's suicide, as Missy is filleting fish]I need to find your brother's friend, Billy Blue. I need to talk to him, thinking maybe you could look through this yearbook, that way-...
Melissa Egan[a little impatient]What's, what's this all about?
JulieWell, it's too crazy to explain, but it has to do with your brother and last July 4th.
[They all smile; as Helen turns to use the phone, she bumps into fisherman's slicker, startling her; she and Julie laugh it off, as Helen goes over to the phone and makes her phone call]
Melissa Egan[to Julie]My name's Missy Egan. Are you girls from Erbelle?
Melissa Egan[She stops, laughs, then answers Julie's question]Yeah, I do. Ah, well, my Dad died a long time ago and my, my, Ma, she's in a home, you know, in Aurora because she didn't take too, too well what happened with David. Things just haven't been the same since he died.
Helen[Helen comes back into the room]They're on their way.
Melissa EganI could, uh, uh, make you guys a cup of tea while you're waiting.
Helen[Missy goes into her kitchen to start making a pot of tea, as Julie and Helen look at the pictures]You know, I think I remember David. He had a friend, right, what was his name?
Melissa EganOh, yeah. He... was a really nice guy, he was cute and smart. We were, we were... sweet on each other for about 2 minutes. But it didn't, it didn't work out. You know, he didn't... he never really said it, but I think it hurt him to be around me.
JulieWell, you know what? Um... we should probably wait back at the car.

BarryOkay let's suppose someone was there that night, why send the letter one year later? It's probably some crack fucking around.
