Hold on, you guys. Hold on.
What is it, man?

:04:04
Great, you won't believe this, sincerely.
:04:06
"I ran all the way home"
:04:08
Screw you guys. Forget it.
:04:10
What is it?
:04:12
Can you camp out tonight?
:04:13
I mean, if you tell your folks
we're gonna tent out in my backfield?

:04:17
I think so.
:04:18
Except my dad's kind of on a mean streak.
He's been drinking a lot lately.

:04:21
You got to. Sincerely,
you won't believe this. Can you, Gordie?

:04:25
Yeah, probably.
:04:26
So what are you pissing and moaning
about Vern-O?

:04:29
- I knock.
- What?

:04:30
You liar! You ain't got no pat hand.
:04:33
You didn't deal yourself no pat hand.
:04:35
Make your draw, shitheap.
:04:38
You guys want to go see a dead body?
:04:44
I was under the porch digging, you know?
:04:47
We all understood
what Vern meant right away.

:04:50
At the beginning of the school year
he had buried a jar of pennies...

:04:53
... underneath his house.
:04:55
He drew a treasure map
so he could find them again.

:04:57
A week later his mom cleaned out
his room and threw away the map.

:05:02
Vern had been trying to find those pennies
for nine months...

:05:05
... nine months, man.
:05:07
You didn't know whether laugh or cry.
:05:10
Jesus, Billy, we gotta do something.
:05:12
Why? Who cares?
:05:14
- We saw him.
- So?

:05:16
It's nothin' to us. The kid's dead
so it's nothin' to him, neither.

:05:19
And who gives a shit if they ever find him?
I don't.

:05:23
It's that kid they're talking about
on the radio.

:05:26
Brocker or Brower or Flowers,
whatever his name is.

:05:30
The train must have hit him.
:05:32
Big fucking deal.
:05:34
We had all followed
the Ray Brower story closely...

:05:37
... since he was a kid our age.
:05:38
Three days before, he left to pick
blueberries and nobody'd seen him since.

:05:42
I think we should tell the cops.
:05:44
You don't go squawking to the cops
after you boosted a car.

:05:47
They'll want to know how we got way out
on Back Harlow Road.

:05:50
They know we don't got no car.
:05:52
It's best we just keep quiet,
then they can't touch us.

:05:54
But we could make an anonymous call.
:05:57
They trace those calls stupid. I seen it
on "Highway Patrol" and on Dragnet.
