Lord of the Flies

- Are we the only ones left? - There's some littluns.

No biguns?

Sam and Eric. They're collecting wood.

Nicky, what are we going to do?

You could call an assembly.

We could talk about Simon as a group.

We should.

Are we really not going to say anything about that?

Didn't you see?

It was difficult.

There was thunder and lightning and rain.

They were doing this silly dance.

He had no business crawling about like that at night, but...

Simon always was batty.

Ralph.

That was murder.

Stay still, Ralph.

Look, to your left.

We can't get too close. It's mating season.

That means it's time for the rut.

What's the rut?

Bucks fighting.

Looking for someone or something to get pregnant.

It's a violent time.

Hey. Here's fun.

When he runs, we run.

What do you say?

I thought you said not to get close to him.

He's looking.

He's looking.

Get ready.

It was seven feet at least.

Shall we say four? So we don't sound too foolhardy.

It had...

The antlers were...

- Mother? - Just need a break.

- I can put... - No.

Just give me minute.

Tell me about the antlers.

Safe from bombs?

- Safe for now. - In you go.

Your mother has such a smile on her face...

hearing our tales of near-death escapades.

When I was young, Uncle Chris and I...

we found a pair of antlers.

- Deer antlers? - Yeah.

They shed them every year.

- What? - They do.

They fall off, and then they grow back almost immediately.

Hmm. Remarkable creatures.

Fastest growing tissue in nature.

I... That's whizzo.

What say you...

we go on an antler hunt tomorrow?

Take your lunch. Go deep in the woods, hmm?

Would you mind, um...?

Would you mind if we stayed at home with mother tomorrow?

I could draw for her or just read.

I just...

I think I'd like that.

That sounds very nice, indeed.

Sleep tight.

Make sure the bedbugs bite. They need a good feed.

I'll leave my toes out for them especially.

Ralph.

Ralph.

There's something.

Something outside.

Moving.

Can't hear anything.

Listen longer.

Is it...?

Is it the beast?

Piggy.

Piggy.

Piggy.

Don't say anything.

Ralph! Ralph! Help me! Help me!

Help, please!

Are you two all right?

I thought they came for the conch.

You saved it.

They didn't come for the conch.

They came for fire.

They got my specs.

Blow it again.

That's everyone.

- Give it time. - That's everyone, Piggy.

I just...

I take the conch to say this.

I voted for Ralph for chief because he's the best of us.

He's the only one who ever got anything done.

I can't wait to hear what he has to say.

About what?

- About what we should do. - You wanted the meeting.

So you'd lead us again.

I can't see much, Ralph,

but I know you've got that scornful look on your face.

Just an ordinary fire.

Just a smoke signal so that we could be rescued, but...

we went hunting and then the fire went out.

And worse things happened.

And then they came and stole Piggy's glasses and the fire.

And now the signal's out, and Piggy's upset,

and we can't ever be rescued.

Can I have the conch?

I don't think the conch matters when there's a few of us. Come on.

There's no point.

I'm going to go to him...

with this conch in my hands.

I'm gonna say...

"You're stronger than I am."

You haven't got asthma. You can see with both eyes.

But I don't ask for my glasses back as a favor.

I don't ask you to be a sport.

But because giving them back is right, and right's right.

I feel awful suddenly.

You should. This is a terrible idea.

But we're right to give him one more chance.

If he doesn't come good today, then we officially give up on him.

Ralph? What is it?

Don't worry. It's just a game.

Halt. Who goes there?

You can see who I am. Stop being silly, Roger.

Calling assembly.

I'm calling an assembly too.

You nearly hit him.

Good throw, Roger.

Where's Jack?

He's hunting. He said we weren't to let you in.

I've come to see him about the fire. And Piggy's specs.

Because Piggy needs them.

And right's right.

Those are boring things to talk about.

Go away, Ralph.

Keep to your end.

This is my end and my tribe.

Don't leave. Kneel down.

You pinched Piggy's specs.

- You've got to give them back. - Got to? Who says?

I say! You voted me for chief.

No, I didn't. They did.

But they've changed their minds.

That is democracy.

- We'd have given it if you asked. - "We'd have given it if you asked."

But you didn't.

You came sneaking like a dirty thief and stole Piggy's glasses.

Say that again.

You're thieves and savages. And what you did to Simon. You...

Kill him, Jack!

Kill him, Jack!

Kill him, Jack! Kill him, Jack!

I've got the conch.

- You painted fools, I have the conch! - He can't even see.

Look at this. Look at who you are.

You're acting like a bunch of kids.

And you're acting like a boring grown-up.

Roger, stop the boring Piggy.

He's Nicky. He's called Nicky.

- The Nickpig. Stop the Nickpig. - Which is better?

Law and rescue, or hunting and breaking things up?

- Stop the boring Nickpig! - I got the conch!

Stop the boring Nickpig! Didn't you say, chief?

Yes.

Stand up. Stand up.

- Ralph. - Grab them!

- Stop! - Grab them!

I'm chief!

I'm chief!

Sam! Get off! Sam!

Stay on your feet.

Help me!

This is my tribe!

My island!

Join the tribe or pay the price.

This is my tribe! My island!

We're hunters, aren't we?

Hunt these boys. Hunt!

Am I all right, Ralph?

I don't feel well.

My head hurts.

Is it bleeding?

No.

No.

I'm sorry.

Your head is a bit hurt. But it's only your antlers.

And antlers are the fastest growing tissue in nature.

You say "stop" anytime it's too far or too fast, all right?

No. No.

No, no, no. Nicky.

Nicky. Nicky, come on.

No. Wake up. Wake up.

No. Nicky.

Nicky.

You're all right. You're good. You're good.

- I'm thirsty. - We'll find water. All right?

- I've had a thought. - Have you?

It's...

It's more or less a plan.

Good. We need one.
