Dahlia: Becka, is needing to feel like you're better than other people so important to you that it's worth being buried alive over? Becka: What? What are you talking about? Dahlia: Give me a break. The whole time we've been down here you've done nothing but tear down every single person around you.

Abbie: This is so cool! Tabitha: Speak for yourself. Is this what it feels like to be high? Did we get drugged?! Abbie: I wouldn't know. I've never been high. Tabitha: Yeah, me neither. I've never even *touched* a marijuana cigarette. I can't believe people do this for fun.

• Let Tabitha continue dragging you. You may be physically stronger than her, but you know where you fall in the pecking order.

Dahlia: I could bring you food, please don't eat me! Mountain Lion: Not about my food.

Penny: So. You're a witch. Sybil: I figured denying it wasn't going to work on you. It's not something I want just anyone knowing, though, so please... keep it between us. She gives you a mischevious smile.

Matt: Distract them, Pixel! Pixel: You got it, boss! The cat stretches from his nook and knocks a stack of books onto the floor. (Hot) A smooth and masterful play. You always have been able to count on the world of creatures to come to your aid. Oscar: Pixel! Come on, buddy... Wait. How did you

???: Toby... Stella: *Jesus.* ???: Welcome home. (Mystical) You're finally where you're meant to be.

Calvin: Of course it's not your fault... Calvin: (Mystical) It's my fault. I knew something was going to happen last night. If only I'd pushed harder to get us to leave...

Deer: The acorn becomes the oak becomes the rich rot that swaddles the acorn. The cycle that is stretched is not the cycle that is broken.

Deer: Can you hear the sweet whispers of new growth?

• Break free. Tabitha needs to know who's boss.

Abby: Do you have an actual death wish? Because I can *see* this place starting to collapse. Becka: I... Abby: Do you? Do you *want* to die? Because we can take Alexis with us and leave you here. That's fine by me. Stella: Holy shit, Abby.

Poppy: Hey, thanks for saving my life. I really appreciate it. Duke: Seemed like divine intervention, that I was there when I was. Wish I coulda gotten the damn thing for good, though. I hate to have to drag you around through the woods all night. Duke: 'Cause you're loud as hell!

Stranger: Anyways. Where'd you say you were headed? Mikey: Home, I think. I've never been, but I've felt it like a call at the back of my mind for as long as I can remember. Some things can only be put off for so long. The young man anxiously shifts in his seat. For one perceptible moment it's his

Old Man: *Damn,* nearly had the thing... Old Man: And I nearly had you, too. Who the hell are you and what are you doin' out here? Lookin' to get shot?

Abby: What are *you* burying? Tabitha: A lot of things. Tabitha: I'm burying Pearlanne this coming Sunday, for instance.

• Break free. Tabitha needs to know who's boss.

Deer: The acorn becomes the oak becomes the rich rot that swaddles the acorn. The cycle that is stretched is not the cycle that is broken.

Stranger: Anyways. Where'd you say you were headed? Poppy: Home, I think. I've never been, but I've felt it like a call at the back of my mind for as long as I can remember. Some things can only be put off for so long. The young man anxiously shifts in his seat. For one perceptible moment it's his

Adeline: This is so cool! Tabitha: Speak for yourself. Is this what it feels like to be high? Did we get drugged?! Adeline: No, Tabitha, this isn't what it's like to be high. Tabitha: Oh, so you *know* what it's like to be high, then. Noted.

Deer: Can you hear the sweet whispers of new growth?

Tony: *Pepsi*??? I'm more of a Coca-Cola fiend. (Hot) The ball's in her court, and the pressure is off of you. Quick, get out of here! Goth Clerk: ... oh, uh...

Kayla: You're sick. Let me help you. Mountain Lion: Not sick. See everything clearly.

(Keen Eye) You couldn't help but notice something stiff and quiet in her demeanor as she obeyed her mother's stern command.

Stella wraps your cousin in a tight hug. Stella: Don't be a stranger, okay? Tabitha: Never again. I promise.

You let Tabitha continue dragging you all the way into her car, and from there, into town. You may be physically stronger than her, but you know where you fall in the pecking order.

Calvin: Becka, what are you *doing*? Becka: What are you talking about? I'm just trying to go somewhere I can be myself where people like you won't bother me. Calvin: You know exactly what I'm talking about. You *know* how risky this is. We *all* can hear that knocking, and it's only getting louder

Abby: What the hell are you talking about? Mountain Lion: You haven't been gifted. Can't see like the rest of us.

(Mystical) You and Mrs. Forsyth briefly lock eyes. She's impenetrable, and you feel small and almost naked in her presence. There is something about her that's far beyond you, but you feel no threat, no malice. And then the moment passes, and you see only the woman before you.

Deer: The acorn becomes the oak becomes the rich rot that swaddles the acorn. The cycle that is stretched is not the cycle that is broken.

Stranger: Anyways. Where'd you say you were headed? Adeline: Home, I think. I've never been, but I've felt it like a call at the back of my mind for as long as I can remember. Some things can only be put off for so long. The young man anxiously shifts in his seat. For one perceptible moment it's

You won't be able to save everyone. You might not even be able to save yourself. Welcome home.

Penny: I could bring you food, please don't eat me! Mountain Lion: Not about my food.

• Start crying.

You won't be able to save everyone. You might not even be able to save yourself.

Abby: You're sick. Let me help you. Mountain Lion: Not sick. See everything clearly.

Mary: Of course it's not your fault... Mary: (Mystical) It's my fault. I knew something was going to happen last night. If only I'd pushed harder to get us to leave...

You let Tabitha continue dragging you all the way into her car, and from there, into town. You may be physically stronger than her, but you know where you fall in the pecking order.

Emma: I could bring you food, please don't eat me! Mountain Lion: Not about my food.

Abbie: You're sick. Let me help you. Mountain Lion: Not sick. See everything clearly.

• Let Tabitha continue dragging you. It's good for her to *think* there's a pecking order.

Jesse: Hey, thanks for saving my life. I really appreciate it. Duke: Seemed like divine intervention, that I was there when I was. Wish I coulda gotten the damn thing for good, though. I hate to have to drag you around through the woods all night. Duke: 'Cause you're loud as hell!

Abby: Alexis, you're so much braver than you think you are. You don't need to let Becka kick you around. Becka: Excuse you? Alexis: No! Excuse *you*, Becka! I don't want to be down here! I don't want to hang out with you! I just want to leave, and I'm going to do that right now.

Stranger: Anyways. Where'd you say you were headed? Penny: Home, I think. I've never been, but I've felt it like a call at the back of my mind for as long as I can remember. Some things can only be put off for so long. The young man anxiously shifts in his seat. For one perceptible moment it's his

• Break free. Nobody drags Michael places.
