The first 173 lines.
- Ah... thanks for the ride. - Okay.
- Thanks, bud. - So, what's the deal?
Get going. We don't have time for breakfast.
Are you, uh, working, or what?
Yeah, I'll be at the station all day,
so you're gonna have to hitch a ride home.
- All right. - You got practice today?
After that, man, we're on double time.
- Triple. - You should be ashamed of yourself.
You'd think they'd take it down.
Come on, bud. You lost a football game once yourself.
- What? I don't remember. - I do.
I think you're lying.
- Catch you later. - Yeah. See you!
I never know when to believe your mouth!
Yeah, likewise.
- Later, bud. - See you, jed.
- So, did you do your history? - Yeah. Some of it.
The great hunt would always begin
with the armies spread out
in a semi-circle, I would say about the size of Rhode Island.
Then they would ride forward, driving everything before them.
Beast
men,
even bugs.
Now, the ends would kinda close in to form a shrinking circle,
and everything within that circle panicked to get out.
So when the mongols could see each other,
they had worked themselves up into a pretty good frenzy.
Now, when this killing started,
it'd last for days, weeks,
even months.
And it went on
until the young son of the Khan
asked his father that the last creature alive...
Be allowed to...
Go free.
Well, now, my friend.
Well, now.
They're all over.
Oh, check it out.
- -
They look pretty cool, though, man.
I would say they were way off-course.
This is very unusual.
You do something, Mr. Teasdale.
He wants to see their hall pass.
What's going on here, my friend?
Come on, let's go!
Get in!
Get down! Get down!
- Get in! - Wait! Hey!
Get down!
- Run! - Come on! Get in!
Stay down!
- -
Arturo!
Papa! Papa!
Get down! Get down!
- No! My father's back there! - Come on, get down!
Papa!
Dad! Dad!
- Dad, they're attacking. - What's happening? What's happening?
They were shooting at me. They're shooting at everybody!
- Shooting at you? -
We're going to the mountains. We're getting out of here.
Who are they, near as you can tell?
I heard some of 'em speaking Spanish, Mr. Morris.
- Did you see any of 'em? - With Spain?
I want to stay with you.
- Who are they? - 0h, my god! Oh, my god!
- Just take it easy. - No...
Boys, get in there, and get sleeping bags and food.
Right now. Come on.
- Hurry up, boys. Come on, son. - Let's go. Let's move it.
Take the dry stuff!
Don't mess around with a lot of candies or cookies.
- Get the dehydrated stuff! - Got it, yeah.
Plenty of kleenex! Somebody, get some lanterns!
And grab some toilet paper!
I ain't gonna use no leaves!
Take a lot of batteries! All the batteries you can carry!
- Take the shotgun there. - Get those down jackets.
Matt, look!
Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down!
- - Lay down!
Is it ours?
- I love you, boy. - I love you, dad.
Tell mom I love her.
- Yeah. - I'll take care of him.
All right, come on, boys. Just get outta here. Come on.
And don't come back here.
No matter what you see or hear, don't come back.
I'll come and get you soon enough.
Open the glove compartment.
- Is it there? - Yeah.
Load it.
- It's already loaded. - Give it here.
- You want these also, jed? - Yeah, put 'em in my pocket.
Oh, Jesus Christ!
- Oh, my god! - 0h, Jesus! Oh, Jesus!
We're gonna turn off quick.
- -
It's a helicopter!
- It's ours! -
Get in! Get in!
It's ours!
- Did you get it? - Yeah.
That's got it. Only thing is, we got one problem.
We don't have any water.
How about pissing in it?
That's a good idea. Get up here.
- How do you know it'll work? - C'mon. Get up here.
- How old are you, kid? - 15.
And the name's Danny, not "kid."
Well, when you, uh, grow up, you'll know these things, Danny.
Now, get up here and piss in the radiator.
But our families, huh? What about them? Huh?
We gotta stay up here and hide awhile.
I just wanna go home.
I don't wanna hide. If I hide, they'll never find me.
Check it out.
It stopped a bullet that would've... Hit somebody.
I got these.
Those will do us a lot of good.
We've got no radio.
I mean, how long do you think we can survive up here
on olives and rice krispies?
What else are we gonna do?
As calumet student body president, I...
I forward the motion that we give ourselves up.
I s... I second the motion. We can't stay here.
We need stuff and...
Sit down, Danny!
You're not going anywhere. It's too dangerous to go into town.
- I say we vote on it. - No.
This isn't the big game, Mr. Quarterback!
- He can go wherever he wants. - No.
You're such a goddamn jock.
Hey, come on, guys! Knock it off!
You wanna go so bad? Here, haul ass, take your shit!
That goes for the rest of you.
This is your chance. Get walking.
It is world war III down there.
People are being killed.
Those could be Russians.
Jed, what about your family?
Huh?
I don't know.
But I'm alive... and I'm staying here.
My family would want me to stay alive.
Your family would want you to stay alive.
I mean, you think you're so smart, man,
but you're just a bunch of scared kids.
What do you think you are?
Alone, I guess.
No, you're not.
Hey, bud.
What do you say?
- I'm with you. - All right.
Now, the rest of you, get going.
All right.
But if you stay, you're gonna do exactly what I say, okay?
- Huh? - Yeah.
So come on over here and get warm.
Daryl.
Sorry.
Me, too, man.
Okay.
Now, Matt and I have been coming up
in these mountains with our dad all of our lives.
We can hunt, we can fish,
we can stay up here along, long time.
