Fire Song

We need to go, Mom.

I don't even know what she liked about these books.

Let me help you with your shoes.

I'm not going.

I don't want everyone looking at me like that.

They just wanna help.

Come on, it'll only be an hour.

I said I'm not going.

What's wrong with you'?

Who're you trying to impress, anyway?

Ah, come on Jacks.

- It's time to go. - Get out.

I don't even want you in here.

Nobody should be in here!

- I won't be long. - Mmm...

Jackie.

I brought you something.

This will keep the bad spirits away.

She just needs some time.

What your Mom needs is a smack.

You're gonna be pissed at me now'?

I'm so sorry, Shane.

Thanks, Bev.

Morning, everyone.

Thank you for coming.

Elder Evie couldn't be here.

She was called away this morning.

Her grandson David will say the opening in her place.

Ahneen. Boozoo.

David Thomas ndishnikaaz .

Chi miigwetch to everyone for being here and to the school

for remembering Destiny on our last day here.

It's been about six weeks since she ah, took her life.

I miss her every day.

Is Evie still talking like some spirit came after Destiny'?

It's just... feel like I should have seen something,

or known she was gonna do it.

It's not your fault.

So stop worrying about it.

I tried to do it once.

A few years ago.

I had a knife in my hand and I was ready to do it

and everything.

It's not the same thing, is it'?

I don't know.

Well you didn't do it, did you'?

So it's not the same thing.

I just feel like I know what she was going through

so I should have seen something.

You weren't even friends.

Don't be mad.

I'm not mad.

Shane.

I'll text you later.

Is that you'?

Yeah.

What's that'?

Something I made for Destiny.

We need to get out of here.

Just me and you.

Still going to college'?

Couple months.

At least We've got people here.

You go down there with your head all fucked up,

the city will kill you.

Hey, college.

How's your Mom'?

She's doing fine.

I still have all those roofing supplies for you guys out back.

Yeah I think Uncle Pete said he's gonna come pick it up.

Is he gonna pay for it too'?

I'll ah, I'll tell my Mom about it.

Okay ah, I'll see you later Janice.

- Hey. - Hey.

I swung by your place but you weren't there.

Just grabbing some food.

I heard Albert's sister got your Mom's job.

Ashley says she sucks.

I'm gonna get you!

You're bad.

Everyone already thinks we're fucking.

I don't wanna knock you up and get stuck here.

Could be worse.

I should probably get home

before my Mom starts to freak out.

She shouldn't still be making you do everything.

It's been a couple months already.

Six weeks.

Still, don't you get tired of being good'?

It Wasn't your fault.

Why you gotta touch me all the time'?

Get the fuck out, pervert!

Hey, Mom'?

Roberta said I missed the band funding deadline for school.

Can I use my inheritance from Dad'?

Mom'?

Close the door behind you.

Hello.

Hey Evie.

Uh... why don't you let me take care of that'?

Ah, no no it's all right. I got it, I got it.

Oh that's okay. I, I'll do it.

Why don't I come by Friday night

and you can take off for a bit'?

Sure.

- Hey Robbie... - Uh, can I get two OEs?

So I heard Annalise got knocked up.

No, really'?

Since when'?

It's true.

Petey told me yesterday.

Must have been some white guy out of Brickport.

No one around here wants to touch that skank.

That shirt's a bit tight.

Don't make me smack you.

Now don't drop em.

Get outta here now.

Bring me a coffee'?

College!

What's going on?

Not much.

Me and your girl here are chillin'.

She looks pretty good, eh'?

Better throw some of that my way if you wanna get some tonight.

Hey did you hear Annalise got knocked up'?

You guys got anything to drink'?

Hey Debbie, how about cutting us a deal'?

Bring me a coffee next time and I'll think about it.

Come on, Auntie.

I know you got money. I pay you enough.

Never mind. I got it.

I'll be leaving you slackers in the dust

once I start making money in the city anyways.

Tara, you better watch out

none of those college bitches run off with him.

I'm gonna be there with him,

so they're not gonna get the chance.

You got a wife!

As if you're gonna leave.

Girls like you never leave.

Yeah, they'll come back next year

all whitewashed and real snobby about everything.

Too late.

What about you'?

You graduated high school like what, four years ago now'?

Still be sittin' on your aunt's couch jerkin' it all day'?

I got a place in the family business.

Whadda you want'?

Vodka.

Yeah, it's about time we got our drink on.

Is this you saying thanks'?

That kid is such a fag.

Don't say that. It makes you sound like a prick.

I don't care.

What, me and Shane ain't your type, medicine man?

Nah come on seriously, you're hurting my feelings now.

Come on man, don't be such an asshole.

Hey David, why don't you come walk with us for a bit'?

Why don't you come with us'?

Nah... I'm just gonna head home.

What's wrong with you'?

Are you and Tara having sex now'?

Not even close.

Looked pretty close to me.

Do I need to prove it to you'?

Or maybe I should just kiss you.

Don't.

You drinking with us or what'?

'Course he is.

I thought medicine men don't drink.

Priests aren't supposed to touch little boys either.

Fuckin' medicine man.

I need more juice.

You're already juiced.

So what medicine man,

your grandma still talking to ghosts and shit'?

Shut up Kyle.

I'm just sayin'.

It's not my problem they don't believe in God.

So, I don't believe in God either.

Yeah, but we already know you're going to Hell.

If I do, it's your fault!

The spirits are real.

Ask the old people.

Whose old people?

My old people say your spirits are just the devil so...

what do your old people say about smoking pole'?

Your spirits watch that too'?

Jesus Christ, Kyle.

Shut the fuck up.

Nobody wants to hear you two argue about

whose fairytales are better.

Cheers to that. I need a refill.

Don't be cheap.

Oh God, I can feel it.

What?

The spirits.

They're coming after us!

Oh shit... I feel it too.

Run!
