NOS4A2

I'm a Rolls-Royce enthusiast.

You sure you don't want to give me that Wraith?

And slowly, slowly, slowly.

Yes, sir. Okay. Stop.

The lights are on!

Come on. Just one?

I need it to get through this goddamn nightshift.

You know the drill. Tit for tat.

Hell, I'll show you my tat.

If I knew it was gonna be that easy...

Are you gonna do it or not?

I'll do it, I'll do it. Jesus Christ.

You're a freak. You know that?

Serial killers get me hot.

You have any idea what that body down there has done?

How many kids Charlie Manx murdered?

And they never found a single body.

I think he ate them.

Oh, make sure you get his hands.

Tools of his trade.

Hands, fine.

But no dick.

Mm.

I wish I got you hot like that.

Mm.

Get me Manx...

I'll show you hot.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

Shit.

What the?

Ugh!

No, I don I don't mean physical resemblance, Charles,

but his his passionate nature.

His eyes that's what it is.

You have his wounded, soulful eyes.

Oh, I have wounded eyes?

He's an old,

ugly man with bad posture.

What do you think, Charters?

Doesn't my husband remind you of the Nosferatu?

Wait! Wait.

I, myself, have not seen that moving picture, Miss Cassie.

Uh, beg pardon Mrs. Manx.

You will always be my Nosferatu.

Well, the whole picture was silly,

a nasty man creeping around in bedrooms,

giving women love bites. Mm.

Is my father still up?

He's retired for the night, ma'am.

Why don't you do the same, Charters?

But I'll take a whiskey before you go.

Oh.

I'll be up in a minute.

Mm.

Penny for your thoughts.

It's going to take more than that.

Boy or girl? Oh, Charles,

there's no telling that. Then why the sad face?

Princess, this is the greatest day in the history of the world.

You're worried what your father will say.

Princess, don't you see? This changes everything.

That's what I'm afraid of.

He's already been so kind, letting us stay here.

But is it quite fair to ask him

to support another man's son or daughter?

This is his grandchild.

That has to count for something.

Mm-hmm.

My God, that man resents me.

What are you talking about?

Papa adores you.

When I was his driving for him, as long as I did what he said,

I was acceptable.

And then you and I eloped, and I became very unacceptable.

But now, with a baby on the way, he'll have no choice.

I have done the numbers. This is a foolproof proposition.

If he doesn't leap at the chance,

I'll raise the money myself.

All he has to do is hear me out.

A small initial loan to secure the inventory,

and the Family Manx will be putting up residence

on Easy Street.

You believe in me, don't you?

Of course I do.

I love you.

You don't have any doubts, do you, Little One?

Your father is going to take care of everything.

You'll see.

The Charles Manx

premiere fleet of private chauffeured automobiles.

Chauffeur that's French for driver.

Good enough for Rod La Rocque and Vilma Bánky.

Oh, we don't have movie stars in Wyoming, Charles.

Well, that doesn't mean you can't ride like one.

Leather seats, a sleek sedan

the smoothest ride in your life span.

Bing...

Partridge...

Mr. Manx?

I knew it.

I knew if I put the engine back in, you'd come back,

and here you are!

Where are you, anyway?

Put a child in the Wraith,

and meet me at Sleigh House.

Okay, but that's just it I-I-I put the engine back in,

sir, but she won't start.

I-I did everything I can think to do

Put a child in the Wraith.

It will start, and it will drive you to Sleigh House.

Y-Yes!

Uh, yes, sir, Mr. Manx.

Uh, leave it to me, sir.

Mrs. Manx said how she'd like to name her Millicent,

after her mother.

With your permission, Father Haber?

Good-looking child.

Good Haber stock.

And born on Christmas Day.

My little sugar plum.

My little Millie.

Oh, okay, okay.

She must be hungry.

Time for mother.

Um, Father Haber, I wonder if you've had a chance

to consider my Habers make hard men and soft women.

My business proposal.

The The fleet of chauffeured automobiles?

Here's hoping that Millicent is a damn sight smarter

than her mother. It's just, with the child here now,

Cassie and I are very much hoping to set out on our own.

Capital idea, Manx. Long overdue.

It's funny that you should use that word.

Um, it's the initial capital investment

that I need to secure.

If given the opportunity, I-I know that I could do

Opportunities aren't given, my boy.

They must be taken.

This is what I don't understand about you.

The very qualities that made you an excellent driver

your obedience, your almost cloying servility

these are the very things

that make you an insufferable son-in-law.

I tell you, Manx,

there's something off about you.

Father Haber What can you do

besides drive a car and... get my daughter pregnant?

You have no people,

none I've heard of, and I've heard of everyone.

The only Manx I know is a breed of cat...that has no tail.

I can't say I care for that.

What is your tale?

I'm...

thinking of my wife and my daughter,

of their futures. If that's true

and I don't think it is

then you can put your mind at ease.

Little Millicent will see a considerable inheritance

from her good-for-nothing grandfather

in the form of a trust, held until her 18th birthday.

But, Father Haber

You can "Father Haber" me till kingdom come.

A fleet of automobiles.

Man thinks he can live off me like a vampire.

Yeah, that inbred moron forgot his gun again.

It looks like he shot himself, too.

Hicks!

What the actual hell, man?

Tony, that was not Hicks!

Look, man, we gotta call the state police.

Oh, shit!

Ugh!

Uh, hi. Um, Michael Demeter's father sent me to pick him up.

Are you the mother?

She's at work. Mike's downstairs.

Hey.

You okay there, buddy?

Yeah.

Who did this to you?

Eric.

Which one of you is Eric?

Hi.

Gimme the key.

You know, it's it's okay to cry if you have to.

I used to cry a lot when I was your age.

Wasn't supposed to, but I did it anyway.

Like, in private.

Really? But you're so...

Big?

Yeah.

I used to think I was so big 'cause I had too much sad in me.

But then I realized that a frown is just a smile upside down.

And now I look at everything that way.

You should try it.

You know, anyone who'd put a great kid like you

in a doggie cage is definitely on the Naughty List.

That's Eric.

He made me drink my own pee once.
