Later.
TEACHER: Young man,
you cannot smoke here.
I said put that thing out.
Now.
What's your name?
You've just earned yourself
an afternoon of detention.
How about that?
Name?
Grant.
TEACHER: Last name.
Dick.
TEACHER: Well, Grant Dick,
I will see you in detention
room 120 after 7th period.
All right.
TEACHER: And would you
like to see me in detention
this afternoon as
well, Ben Holtham?
Guy's a prick.
No, thanks.
Smoking pit's over there.
Thanks Hey, Ben Holtham,
know where the office is?
Uh, yeah.
It's right inside.
Can't miss it.
It's the first door.
Thanks.
All right.
Later.
[STUDENTS WHISPERING]
I told you, no way.
He'd beat the shit
out of you if he even
knew we were thinking this.
I don't know.
You think?
Yes, I think.
He's not.
Maybe you should start
wearing your glasses.
Have you ever even heard him
use a full sentence before?
[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]
Hi.
Hi.
-Hey.
What, uh, happened to your arm?
What's up?
What happened to your arm?
It's my tattoo.
It's not finished yet.
All right.
I gotta go, man.
-Yeah.
Me too.
There.
I don't know.
TIM: They look kind of sketchy
especially that tall one
with the trench coat.
Yeah, man.
Like weird drug addicts.
You think they've
got a standard?
Oh my god.
That's Shannon, the one
with the trench coat.
I know him.
My mom knows his mom, actually.
BEN: What do you know about him?
TIM: Nothing really.
We never really talked.
Wait.
Who's the other one?
The short one?
AMBER: You guys are boring me.
TIM: No wait, you know what?
I've definitely
seen him around too.
I think his name is Keith.
BEN: Look up there.
-What?
I don't know.
Sucking each other off
in the woods as we speak.
Not a chance, man.
You need to move on.
Yeah.
You know, you're
going to get your ass
kicked by a bunch of
tweaker fucking freaks
if you're not careful.
He'd probably like it too.
Fuck you.
You don't think he's hot?
Oh my god.
You're such a stalker.
It's totally pathetic.
He scares me.
[STUDENTS TALKING]
Got a light?
So how do you know
Shannon and Keith?
From around.
They seem pretty cool.
You think?
Well, I don't really know them.
But-- I don't know.
Hey check this out, man.
What is it?
It's a bug.
Shannon made it for me.
It's fucked up.
You don't like it?
It's OK, I guess.
What kind of bug is it?
It's just a bug.
Like you're tattoo?
My what?
The tattoo--
Yeah.
It's like my tattoo.
You know what's weird, man?
We were talking
about you last night.
Who was?
GRANT: Me, Shannon, and Keith.
Why were you talking about me?
They just wanted to
know how I knew you.
I guess they've seen you around.
What you'd say?
I said I don't really know you,
but I told them you were cool.
Thanks.
It's not like we
hang out or anything.
GRANT: Yeah, well,
we should sometime.
So, um, what kind of
shit do you like to do?
What do you mean?
To get fucked up.
Oh.
I-- I smoke weed.
Ecstasy once in a while.
That's it.
That's cool, man.
We get up to some
pretty weird shit too.
Like, crystal and shit?
No.
Look, you want to
come over tonight?
Uh, yeah.
I mean, I don't think I'm--
Shh.
It's going to be fun.
Look, come on, man.
Well, hello.
You know these guys, right?
Yeah.
You gonna give us
a ride, or what?
Um, yeah.
Let's hop in.
-So where do you live?
-Me?
Yeah, you.
Um, by the river.
On the bluff.
You have a girlfriend?
Uh, no.
KEITH: Do you like girls?
Shut up.
Something wrong with
your stereo, man.
Yeah.
It broke.
KEITH: And mommy and daddy
didn't buy you a new one?
SHANNON: You got a job?
Why are you fucking with him?
Just let him drive.
BEN: Are your parents
going to be home?
GRANT: No.
My mom's in Texas
getting a divorce.
She won't be back for a while.
Listen, when you get up there,
just keep going straight.
All right?
SHANNON: Hey,
Keith, you remember
that girl from the truck stop?
KEITH: I remember that
she had a nice body.
Huge tits too.
SHANNON: God, dude.
You're such a fucking perv.
KEITH: I know I am.
GRANT: Hey, Ben.
Can you do me a favor
and pull over right here?
BEN: Yeah.
This good?
GRANT: Yeah.
This is good.
I gotta take a piss, man.
SHANNON: So, uh.
Did Grant ever tell
you why he moved here?
BEN: No.
SHANNON: Yeah.
It was pretty fucked up.
BEN: Um, what happened?
SHANNON: Well, you
should ask him yourself.
SHANNON: Man, you can
get so lost out here.
You just wander
for miles and miles
without ever seeing
another person.
KEITH: Some boy got
lost in the woods.
Wasn't found until
after two months.
Whole stomach was eaten out.
GRANT: Shut up, Keith.
[DOG BARKING]
GRANT: What's the matter?
BEN: Nothing.
GRANT: Look, don't
be worried about it.
You all right?
BEN: Yeah.
GRANT: Come on.
[DOOR OPENING]
GRANT: Nice place, huh?
My mom wanted me to
wait for her to unpack.
That was like 5 weeks ago.
Why don't you take
your jacket off, man.
Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
What's the matter, Ben.
I thought you liked vodka?
I do.
I know.
I could smell it on his
breath this morning.
That's pretty hardcore.
I was expecting a rough day.
Hang in there, man.
We're just getting started.
Shannon, I, uh, saw the
bug that you made for Grant.
I like it.
-Oh, yeah?
Thanks, man.
I made one for Keith too.
I've got one too.
Cool.
What do they mean?
SHANNON: What do they mean?
Grant, you want
to take this one?
GRANT: I'm thinking that
Ben is pretty smart.
He can probably handle this.
You are smart, right, Ben?
I like you a lot, Ben.
I liked you from the
first time you talked
to me when I first got here.
I think you're like-- you're
like the first person I met.
When I was living out on
the coast with my mom,
I would always go for these
like long walks on the trails
in the woods by our house.
And, um, I'd just
go all the time.
And it was really the only
place I could go to be alone,
you know?
Like, the guy that she was
fucking was an asshole.
I was sleeping on the couch.
So I really didn't want
to be in the house.
So one day, I was
walking out there
and when I'd get like
really far out there
and I really felt
I was by myself,
you know, I'd lay
down in the leaves
and just stare up at the trees
and the sky and jerk off.
So this one time I
was out there, right?
And I was just about to cum.
And I feel this
tiny bite, like--
Ow.
That didn't hurt at all, right?
No.
Ben, I'm just showing
you that it didn't hurt.
Man, relax.
So anyway, I feel this tiny
bite on the back of my leg.
And I look down and it's a
fucking bug crawling on me.
Like a worm or something.
It's like about that big.
And before I know what's
happening, my leg's going numb.
And I start to
fucking freak out.
You know?
I'm thinking holy
fucking shit, man.
This thing's poisonous.
I'm going to fucking
die out here.
Nobody's ever going to find me.
And what's my mom
going to think if they
do find me with my pants around
my ankles and my dick out?
SHANNON: Lucky I
didn't find you.
Anyway.
There's really nothing I can
do because whatever was just
getting really fucking intense.
And before I even realized
what was happening,
I was having the best
trip of my entire life.
And I realized it
was all from the bug.
Just a tiny little bug.
And I started to
think, fuck, if I
die out here it's OK because
this is the fucking best.
You can't be serious.
Ben, I'm being totally serious.
The weirdest thing is that
I was still so fucking hard.
And you know what I did?
-What?
What did you do?
I fucking brought them here.
It's really fucking good, Ben.
I hate bugs, but
it's so worth it.
SHANNON: We're going to
go upstairs and hang out
in your room for a little bit.
Come on, Keith.
-Hey.
I don't think I could do that.
I'm not going to
make you do anything
that you don't want to do, Ben.
I promise.
I promise.
BEN: I don't want those
things biting me, man.
Nothing's going
to bite you, man.
You don't even have to come
in if you don't want to.
You can just stand
in the doorway.
I just want you to see them.
Come on, man.
I want to show you.
I just want you to see them.
BEN: Aren't you worried that
your mom's going to find this?
GRANT: No, man.
GRANT: Hey.
Just wait here a second.
All right?
[NOISES OF CHAINS]
GRANT: Hey, Ben.
Come in here, man.
BEN: No way.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, man.
BEN: Where are the bugs?
I put them away.
I'm not going to take them
out if you don't want me to.
Here.
Take this.
They won't come anywhere
near you if you hold this.
They hate light.
Take the lantern.
Come here.
Sit down.
You all right?
Yeah.
-Are you cold?
-No.
What the fuck?
Would you get the
fuck off of me.
Seriously, chill.
Get the fuck off of me.
Grant, get it off of me.
-Just cool down.
-No.
No.
Please, just take it off of me.
Ben, relax.
Please, I asked you not
to put this on me, please.
Ben.
Just let is take over.
Just fucking chill.
Let it take over.
Come on.
I've really-- I don't want--
I don't want this to happen.
Shh.
Just relax.
-Please.
Just relax and
let it take over.
You're OK.
You're all right.
You're fine.
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Feels good, man.
-I didn't want to do this, man.
-I know.
It feels good.
I know that.
You're all right.
See?
Feels good.
You see that?
It's beautiful.
It isn't scary.
Hey.
GRANT: You're all right, man.
See?
You're all right.
BEN: Oh, man.
This is nice.
GRANT: Isn't it?
You're still hard too.
Man.
This is nice.
GRANT: Isn't it?
You're so fucking scared.
You just did it, man.
I didn't even have
to convince Shannon.
Crazy fucker, he's just a
little bit of work though.
At least with you.
At least you know what you are.
Right?
That's what I like
about you, man.
This is what you wanted, right?
You look freaked out, man.
Check it out, I'm going
to show you how I do it.
Watch.
I'm going to join you.
I've done it so many times, I've
got a real fucking tolerance.
I wish I could still feel
like you're feeling right now.
[GROANING]
GRANT: I fucking
love these bugs, man.
You know, I built this
whole thing myself.
You know how many books I
had to read about this shit?
I really do like you, Ben.
I always wanted to share
this with somebody.
Now I can get high
while you lie there.
I can do-- I can
do whatever I want.
I can do whatever I want.
SHANNON: Hey, Grant.
How is it?
GRANT: It's sweet, man.
Go away.
GRANT: You should try it
BEN: I'm serious, man.
Aww.
Benny boy doesn't want to play.
I think that somebody
needs another bug.
[PANTING]
SHANNON: Where's the other one?
GRANT: On the back of his neck.
BEN: Grant.
GRANT: Are you
going to have one?
SHANNON: Let's take
care of him first.
GRANT: Let's roll him over.
Look at his eyes.
SHANNON: Yeah.
GRANT: The fuck
are you looking at?
[PUNCHING]
GRANT: The fuck
are you looking at?
[BEATING HIM]
GRANT: Piece of shit.
Yeah.
Your fuck feels good.
You're still hard too.
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Are you going to have one?
Feels good right?
[BEATING HIM]
