Dead Students Society (1998) Movie Script

1
This is my favorite poem.
Do you like it?
I don't know.
I don't know it.
It's called, "Bursting Embers".
It's special to me.
I don't remember that one.
Did that Walt Whitman guy write it?
No, silly.
That poetry teacher it looks
like I should be subbing more.
I like it when you sub.
So do I.
Mr. Marciello, he's never around.
He wants me home with the children more.
Yeah, where are they?
Nikko and Nora,
they're playing upstairs.
They're a good team together.
I wanna share this poem with you.
May I?
Yeah, I like it when you read.
Should I close my eyes like before?
Yeah, sit back.
Feel the energy.
The red of passion has pulled
below surging, coursing,
flowing through, a tender
face, skin so white as.
What's the matter?
Do you hear something?
Nah, it's just hard to focus in here.
It's very stuffy in here.
The lighting's better and softer upstairs.
Nah, I don't think I should.
Shh, shh, shh, relax.
It's okay.
It's just poetry.
What about Mr. Marciello?
He won't be home for hours.
You know, college president.
He's never home anymore.
It's just me, the children, and poetry.
I don't know.
I don't wanna get in trouble.
Just a freshman here.
No, Donny, don't be
silly, nothing will happen.
Besides I'm the wife of
the college president,
doesn't that give me any clout?
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Yeah.
Okay, take my hand.
Let's bring the energy with us.
Okay.
Here, sit here.
Take your shoes and socks off.
The red of passion has pulled below,
surging, coursing flowing through.
A tender face, skin so white,
would flush with passion's glow.
Feels nice.
The glow is so
fine and delicate threads
has spread beyond the plain.
It lies and waits for passion barb
to drive its master home.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, can you feel what the energy is?
This poem it's moving you, I can tell.
Let me finish my poem.
Once home the master must wait
for all is not at once.
To savor.
Sip.
Taste the fruit.
There's joy once held by all.
But now the day when passion begs.
To shed its needful way.
The powers to beg, to use,
to find our hidden stay.
Nora, it's the middle of the day, what?
Oh, god, Frank.
Thank god, you're home.
He asked me to help him with poetry.
What the hell is this?
Huh?
What the fuck is this?
He asked me to help him.
Who you think you are
you little fucking prick?
Hey, man, she told me to come up here.
Frank, he's lying.
Shut up!
I ain't see nothing, man.
I ain't do nothing.
You ain't doing nowhere.
Where you going boy, huh?
You going somewhere?
You in a hurry, huh?
You in a hurry?
You come in all of 30 seconds.
Come on, boy, come on.
You weren't in a hurry when
you were fucking my wife.
Stop it, Frank!
Come on, man!
You fuck my wife on my bed
and you wanna leave so quickly.
Get up, 'cause I'm gonna kill you.
- And you look at me.
- Stop it, Frank.
You look at me you're fucking that guy!
Frank, stop it!
Shut up, 'cause you're fucking next!
Come on!
Where you going, boy?
How's that feel?
A little rough, doesn't it?
Faggot.
Huh?
You like fucking my wife, huh?
You like her big titties?
You like 'em, huh?
Come on, say something now!
Jesus Christ.
Nikko, Nora.
Oh my god.
Ship flies in tonight
From the faces, single file
Dancing in the shadows
You know, uh, we'll spare sheets.
Maybe go for a coffee
of something like that.
Eat all
Hey.
Just stay out of it when
People try
Hey Walter, did
you get any last night?
Last night, man, what
about this morning?
A little sunrise special?
I didn't really like her.
She was so forward.
Look buddy, forward's
better than backwards.
You know what I'm saying?
Hey, my roommate said,
"He saw that new poetry
teacher, Ms. Crane."
He said, "She is hot."
Right, man.
Give me a fucking break,
a hot English professor?
Shit ain't gonna happen. Walter.
Get a life, Walter.
English teachers come
in one of two versions,
if they're men they're gay
guys in tweedy jackets.
And if the woman they're old
and pinched up with that library smell.
Dude, what the hell's a library smell?
You know, man, when you were a kid,
you used to spend time
hiding out in the library,
sniffing the insides of
the bindings of books.
Well, that's what it smells like.
Yeah, that's, that's a little more
than we needed to know, man.
Nah, man, I heard it too.
She's supposed to be quite a package.
Nice tits and a great ass.
What the fuck is up with you guys?
Whoa, someone's pissed.
Look out, Jason,
it'll be heading your way.
Screw you.
You're acting like a bunch of adolescents.
Ah.
No, you're an adolescent.
Someone's upset that
she's losing her title
of whore du jour.
Ooh, ooh.
Oh really?
Why don't you and your
wrestling bud go fuck yourselves
since that's what you do anyway isn't?
I think she misses the finer points
of the ancient sport.
All right, Josh, give it
a fucking rest, all right?
I'll tell you guys,
I saw her down in the president's
office, she's fat man.
No, my roommate said,
"She's really slender."
Oh Walter, we can always
count on you to keep it real.
It's not like you guys haven't
seen a pretty girl before,
so why do you have to
be so gross about it?
We're not being gross, we're being guys.
Seems to me, the only person
who's acting like a man
around here is Walter.
Ah.
Well, you know, I guess standards
just ain't what they used to be.
Well, I heard she transferred
from another college.
Whoa, okay, who let the freshman speak?
Permission was not granted.
I just assumed-
Ouch, violation number two.
Pledge, refrain from
vocalizing without permission.
Yeah, shut up.
Were they always like this?
Always.
Hey, can we get back
to talking about her ass?
The day we have a poetry
teacher with a nice ass
is the day that.
A nice ass?
Well, I hope I can be more than that.
Good morning.
I'd like to introduce myself.
My name is Ms. Nora Crane.
I will be your instructor here
for the remainder of the semester.
I'm glad to join the
faculty here at Omega Prep,
and I look forward to our
time together this year.
Poetry has been a chief
love of mine for many years.
The words, the rhythm,
the energy of poetry
can do amazing things.
I hope to bring the joy of poetry
into each and every one of you.
I want us to develop a relationship
that is powerful and intimate.
Excuse me, Ms. Crane.
Yes.
Will there be a midterm?
Walter, shut up.
What the fuck?
Idiot.
What's your name?
Walter, Walter Merrick.
Well, Walter, assessment
of learning is crucial,
but I hope to find much more
creative ways of finding out
what you know and what you're able to do.
Uh, Ms. Crane, you'll find the guys here
at Omega Prep do really good creative.
I can tell that already.
At my last school, I was able to involve
many of my best students
in a poet society.
The purpose of our group
was to gather like minds,
to think and share the power of verse.
We met as often as we could
to enlarge our horizons
and swell our minds.
I think I'm gonna be sick.
If there is interest here,
as I suspect there will be,
I've planned to pull
together a poet society here
at Omega right away.
It seems we have a unique location
already designed for our meetings.
The Lambda Chi house, yeah.
Yeah!
Not exactly.
It seems the ancestral caves
of the local Passamasoute
Tribe are close to campus.
The Passamasoute actually used those caves
for sacred and secret ceremonies
involving the retelling of tribal verse
and manly rights of passage.
Uh, no pledges allowed, right?
Well, the poets society
will be what we make of it.
It's up to all of you
how intimate it becomes.
Let's begin today's lecture.
Those interested in the poet society
come see me after class.
Open your anthologies to page 443,
the poem titled, "Stiff Wooden Soldier".
It worked perfectly.
It was easier than the last school.
I talked about the poet society
and their eager little eyes just lit up.
I think it's safe to say as men,
they rose to the occasion.
Gee, Nora, you're a funny sister,
and you're so smart too.
Thanks, Nikko.
With the two of us this
always works out fine.
Must say I like this
garden getup much better
than that food service
geek you were last time.
Uh, thanks, Nora.
I like it better too,
because it gives me more
time to be on outside
with the birds and the grass.
Don't go soft on me now!
We have plenty of work to do.
My class is full of 'em.
Really, Nora, full of 'em?
Lots, and they're ready to go.
Ooh.
Do you think there are any nice ones?
Nikko, don't be stupid!
There aren't any nice ones!
No, I just thought I
could have a friend, Nora.
No, you can't have a friend!
God, Nikko, why do I have to
go over this so many times?
They're all bad.
They're all dirty.
All they talk about is sex.
All they think about is getting some
and I'm gonna give 'em some!
I just want a friend who-
When you talk like this
you're totally disrespecting
our mother and father!
You know what happened.
You know what those guys did.
They're all dirty.
They all will pay!
Anyways, Nikko, I'm your friend.
I'll take care of you.
I know you're right,
Nora, it's just that-
Quick, one of my students is coming.
Go rake or something.
Uh, excuse me, Ms. Crane.
Yes.
Um, I was just wondering-
You're in my poetry class, aren't you?
Yeah.
Why you remember me?
How could I forget a face like that?
What's your name?
Jimmy.
Jimmy Sparks.
Well, hello, Mr. Sparks.
Um, you can call me Jimmy.
Well, then you just call me Nora.
Okay.
Jimmy, come sit with me for a moment.
You, you know, I, I, I wanted to ask you
about poet society at your last school.
My last school?
Yeah, the guys, I mean your students
must have been really
lucky to have something,
you know that great.
Oh, yes, they got a lot out of it.
Yeah, it's great you wanna
start one here and all too.
Really?
Yeah.
Guys would be dying to get in it.
You think so?
I would.
You're sweet, and also very handsome.
Let me tell you something,
get the feeling that
you really like poetry.
I, I do.
And that you really understand
what this poet society's all about.
Definitely.
Why don't you join me for
the first meeting tonight?
Really?
Me?
I don't know, I'm, I'm just a freshman.
All the better you have
that spark, that energy.
The society needs you.
Um, wouldn't the other guys
get a little angry though?
Jimmy, I'll take care of the other guys.
You don't worry.
You just bring your sharp
mind and your smiling face.
Awesome.
Um, what time?
Where?
After dusk.
You know the woods behind the stadium?
Yeah.
Follow the trail up over the hill.
Off to the right is the
entrance to the cave.
We'll be in there.
Wow.
Thanks, miss, I mean Nora.
Um.
Don't thank me.
It's your own wonderful qualities
that have brought us together.
I want this to be very special.
I gotta go.
I'm gonna be late for class.
Um, thanks, thanks a lot.
Um, I'll, I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tonight, Sparky.
Sometimes this is just too easy.
Ms. Crane, are you in there?
Right this way, Jimmy.
Come sit down.
Uh, this place is really,
oh, I, I mean, hi, how
you doing. Ms. Crane?
Didn't we cover this before?
It's Nora.
The artifacts reflect the ancient people
who once used this cave
as a sacred meeting place.
Really?
Yes.
Young men of the tribe
used to come to this cave
to come of age.
Awesome.
Where are the other guys?
Didn't I tell you to take care of them?
They'll be here later.
Why don't you take off
your shoes and socks?
What?
Uh, why?
Well, this technique always works.
The ancients used it, trust me.
Now relax.
Close your eyes.
Through ancient ways in nature's layer.
Pull from the man the struggle thoughts.
Just breathe.
Just look.
Just love.
Oh, Nora, I never had a
teacher like you before.
You're such a charmer.
Now let's get down to business.
I wanna start your initiation
into the poet society right away.
Already?
Well, that way you'll be on the way
before the other boys arrive.
Oh, well, I don't know.
Whatever you say.
Take off your shirt.
What?
For the initiation, silly.
Okay.
Now there, come a little closer to me.
Relax and breathe deeply.
Give me your hands.
Close your eyes.
Repeat after me.
The poet's pen I love to hold.
The poet's pen and I love to hold.
Yet sacred more the words he molds.
It's sacred more the words he molds.
To prove my love for bard's own verse.
To prove my
love for bard's own verse
I share his pain,
quick, taut, and terse.
Share his pain, quick, taut, and terse.
Ah, ah.
It's okay, it's just a pen prick.
Let me see.
Just like when you're a boy at camp.
I didn't go to camp.
Let me see.
There's my poetic warrior.
Oh, if you say so.
Now just relax.
You finished the first part.
I did.
Yeah, come sit over
here with your back to me.
Huh?
Now just relax and breathe deeply.
Oh, Eros' wings take flight.
Take flight.
Help us all to allude the night.
The night of darkness we fear so well,
they cannot escape the lover's bell.
The bell that rings for souls so pure.
Wow.
So innocent, so free.
So mindful, so sure.
The not expecting the final cure.
What are you doing?
- No, I can't-
- Cure that is swift and true.
I, I can't breathe.
Given to those who just deserve.
Lord, my god, I can't breathe.
Let go.
Let go.
I don't wanna be in this
poet society anymore.
Do him like Daddy did.
Good work, Nikko.
Our father would've been proud.
Thanks, Nora.
You got everything ready though?
Yeah, well, whatever.
Will you take care of this one, will ya?
This little shit wore me out.
I'm gonna go lie down.
Okay, Nora.
Well, see ya.
Bye, Nora.
Dude, why is it taking
him six years to graduate?
'Cause I did a year abroad.
Shithead, south Jersey-
Living in your grandmother's trailer-
Is not abroad.
Fuck you.
Hey, speaking of a broad.
Ain't she though.
I think that Ms. Nora kind of adds
a little something special
to this learning shit.
I think this takes college
education to a whole new level.
Yeah, my old man, I had no
idea he was paying for this.
Hey, you think I could use porn
on my scholarship on Trojans?
Yeah, and call 'em study aids.
Hey, uh, where's our
little, uh, pledge Jimmy?
You're right.
Where is he?
I didn't even notice he was gone.
He told me, "He was going
to that cave last night."
What the fuck?
Did we get shown up by that kid?
Justin, man, don't even worry about it.
He didn't come to class because it was,
it was over his head.
He didn't wanna show up and
embarrass himself today.
Yeah, and besides she's
not gonna waste her time
with a freshman.
Well, if we're smart,
we're not gonna waste any time either.
Let a fucking pledge beat us to the punch.
I'm signing up today.
Are you in bro?
You know I'm there,
just don't tell Kathy.
Oh, so now you're all
big fucking fans of poetry.
You don't even know the difference
between a simile and a metaphor.
Don't try to trick me.
We don't study those
countries in this class.
I don't know what's
going on with you guys.
It's like you're not the same at all.
I still think you're pretty, Donna.
Thank you, Walter.
But I still wanna join
the poet society though.
I think I'd learn a lot.
Gee, Walter, maybe you can carry
the flashlight for Adam and Josh.
Hey, Jonathan, wake up!
Oh yeah, sounds, uh, real cool guys,
but, uh, it's really not for me.
Besides I got a good thing going
with Shelly and I don't wanna mess it up.
Suit yourself, man.
You're gonna miss out
on some major action.
Hey, Nikko, over here now!
Hi, Nora.
How was class today?
Doesn't change much, Nikko.
So little time, so much pent-up hatred
to spew forth on the world.
Oh.
There's more work
at this place than I thought.
This one at a time shit ain't gonna fly.
We need to start increasing
volume and I mean soon.
Sure. Nora, whatever you say.
Great, 'cause I got three
of 'em showing up to tonight,
and I'm gonna need your help.
Really, Nora, three?
Yeah, and two of them
are the captains of the wrestling team.
Oh boy, wrestlers.
Oh, can I think of
something special, Nora?
Sure, you can
think of something special.
Oh great, I have lots of good ideas.
Um, first, we can have 'em-
Nikko, zip it!
I'm in a rush.
You can tell me later.
Okay, Nora.
Um, do you think I can have
one of my own this time?
You know, I promised you.
You just need to be a little patient.
Be plenty for both of us.
Can you be patient a little more for me?
Okay, Nora.
Whatever you say.
Good, 'cause I gotta
go run to get ready.
We need to start thinking about
how we're gonna start increasing volume.
We need to plan and we need it soon.
Okay, Nora.
Um, I'll start thinking
about it real hard.
Great.
Nikko.
Yeah, Nora.
Missed weed over there.
Thanks, Nora.
Bye.
Oh, noble hearts bleed no more.
The warrior must find his sacred home.
The caves of King
Passamasoute must be cleansed
with the blood of those who become men.
Wow, powerful.
- You think so?
- Yeah.
Hey, Josh, you try.
Men step, step forward
and remove your shield.
The, the, the way is
clear to sow the field.
Oh, sow the field.
With each man's seed to
plant the fruit in each with.
- Speed.
- Speed.
I like how this sounds.
Look not upon another, another's mate.
King Pass, Passamasoute
will seal his fate.
Oh, fate.
With bloody vengeance will come the day
that men who still act
boy will surely pay.
Awesome.
It's awfully bloody and violent.
Actually the Passamasoute were known
for their strict code of male behavior.
Many of these translated poems
grew out of rituals performed
in caves just like these.
These rituals confronted and challenged
the young men of the tribe
to uphold tribal laws of honor, conduct,
and respect for women.
Like on "Jerry Springer"?
Let me read you an example.
They had taken more wife than one
in spite tribal please.
Brought here before the sacred pyre
were tied the evil three.
Tied as one, they were told to fight
until but one could breathe.
The evil three fought
with ropes like warriors,
true to heart until the
cave ran red with blood.
They had to kill each other?
Death was their punishment
for lying, cheating, and screwing around.
Man, I'd be fucked back in those days.
Yeah.
Well, I think y'all are ready
to move on to a deeper level.
Take off your shirts.
What?
It's part of the ancient process.
Will help us get in touch
with the natural energy of these caves.
I gotta go.
I just remembered this test.
Um, the library.
I, I gotta go.
You sure?
It's the best part.
Bye.
What's wrong with him?
You don't even wanna know.
Relax, oh, restful stallion,
your toil has made you weak.
The sweat, the tears, the furrowed brow.
You know, you two are so advanced,
I'd really like to take
this to a deeper level.
Take off your pants.
There now, my two
warriors, you just relax.
Here it is just like you wanted.
Nikko!
Nikko!
Nora.
Remember, like I said before.
Didn't you hear that poem I used?
You should grow up.
We can do that
special thing now, Nora?
Yes.
Holy shit.
What happened?
I call it the advanced level.
The rules are simple.
The ancient Passamasoute
were not complicated.
Fight to the death for my honor.
We know at least one of
you cheats on their woman.
Will have the winner as my own,
and I will reward him greatly.
Nikko and I will stand to watch.
Who the fuck is Nikko?
I'm the local tribal elder.
Let the games begin.
- What games?
- Come on.
- You guys are-
- Come on.
- Fucking crazy.
- Come on fight.
- Come on.
- Come on fight.
Fight, fight!
- Fight.
- Listen, these people
are fucking crazy.
Pretend to choke me out.
What?
Pretend to choke me out.
I'll pretend to dead.
And then I'll grab Nikko with the knife.
Yeah, but what if-
Just do it.
What are you doing?
Stop!
I can't breathe.
Stop.
My warrior is victorious.
Fucker!
Nikko, Nikko!
Jocks are so stupid!
Come on, Nikko, let's go back to campus.
Josh.
Josh.
Josh, get the fuck off me, man.
Josh.
Josh.
Stupid ass.
What the fuck did you do?
Stupid shit.
Fuck, fuck!
Fuck!
That wasn't the plan.
Well, this is!
Now that's what I call a sporting event.
Come on, Nikko, let's go.
Where are they now?
We hear the cry.
Our missing souls escape the sigh.
The pain of loss so hard to bear.
Ask not, but why?
But who, but when?
But where?
Well, that's enough for today class.
Remember that the exam is Monday,
and that I want you to be ready.
I know that many of you
have been working very hard,
much of it on your own time.
Many have taken advantage
of the poet society meetings
to go deeper into the work.
Yeah, where are they now?
Kathy said, "That Adam
never called her last night."
Simply attending the occasional
poet society meeting may not be enough.
Or it may be too much.
Walter, will you shut up?
- So I wanna make it clear.
- I'm trying to learn.
That is important to me
that I give each and every one of you
the extra help and assistance you need.
I'll be happy to make myself available
for individual tutoring appointments.
That way those who need careful
one-on-one attention can get it.
Just what I want.
Ugh, Donna's gonna kill me.
Fuck it, I'll live.
Oh yeah, baby.
Right after practice.
Cool, I could be ready by eight.
She's gonna love my hair.
I think I'm gonna throw up.
I've always believed
in this kind of tutoring
can make a difference
and I've seen results.
I want you to know as my students
that you're gonna get what you deserve.
- I like the sound of that.
- Yeah.
Those who are interested
come to the front of
the class and sign up.
Class dismissed.
Where do I sigh?
But what about the poet society?
They told me, "That's
where they were going."
Look, little wannabe frat bro,
I appreciate your concern,
but you got it ass backwards.
Nora's looking for something
good from those guys.
It ain't what you think.
- What's up?
- What's going on?
- I was there.
- What are you talking about?
It's Walter, man-
- I know she did it.
- Pretending he's
on the "X Files"
She takes them to the
caves, seduces them,
and then kills them.
No, no, I didn't see it.
I ran off when she started
getting, you know, was sexual.
Give it up, Agent Scully.
Besides she's coming over
to the frat house tonight,
to hold individual appointments.
The guys are all signed up.
So that proves your theory's full of shit.
Oh, I see.
She's, she's planning
her, her big finale there.
Yeah, well, it's been a real
sweet moment, but we gotta go.
Stay real, little one.
- Later.
- Ah, man.
Frickin' Walter, man.
Fucking idiot.
Hello?
Hello?
Those idiots hung up.
No one will fucking believe me.
Hello.
Hello.
What's up?
You have no idea.
Do you know what it's like
to not have anybody listen to you?
To be ordered around?
To have to do all the dirty work?
Shit!
No, I do know.
I do know.
My sister, she treats
me real bad sometimes,
but I guess it's because
she cares about me so much.
It really sucks, huh?
You look pretty upset.
Do you need my help?
I don't.
It's that new poetry teacher, Nora Crane,
she's evil, I know it.
She's got this poet society thing.
She invites guys to the group
and then they disappear.
It, it's in this cave off campus.
I've been there.
I know, I didn't see it,
but I know it's the truth.
You don't believe me, do you?
No, I do believe you.
You do?
Yeah.
How come?
I just do.
Will you help me get at the truth?
I just need some evidence.
I wanna go to the cave
tonight to check it out,
but I'm too scared to go alone.
I'll go with you.
I know that cave.
I'll make sure it all works out.
I can't believe it.
Why would you believe me?
Well, I just have a feeling that's all.
And, and you seem nice and smart.
I'll be there if you want me to.
All right. I, I, I gotta go.
I, I guess I'll see you
there sometime after dark.
Okay.
I gotta go.
Oh, he's gonna make a nice friend.
Donna, you know that poetry teacher
doesn't mean anything to me.
It's not how you act in poetry class.
Well, it's 'cause I'm
around all the brothers.
You have to.
You don't have to.
I know what you mean,
but it's a guy thing.
Anyways, you're my girlfriend.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Are we gonna study tonight?
Sure, we are.
What time?
I don't know, I'll call you.
Okay, but you better
not forget like last time.
I won't.
All right.
Do-be-do-be-do
You look so beautiful
To me
You wish you
were first, asshole.
Fuck you.
Yeah, I, I wasn't about to run up to her
like a little puppy dog.
Oh, you would have if you could have.
7:00 pm and I'm number one, baby.
Yeah, well, it's good she
gets you out of the way first.
I deserve to be savored like a fine wine.
Man, you guys make me
wanna puke sometimes.
Hey, hey, I thought the
agreement was I get some privacy.
It's already 6:45.
Relax, guido, I'm outta here
as soon as Danny girl
gets out of the shower!
Hey, hold on a minute man, all right?
I got a date with Shelly.
I have the shower next.
Whoa, hey, my tutoring
session starts at eight,
I gotta be ready.
Shit, the amount of time
you spend in that fucking
bathroom getting ready,
you should have started two hours ago.
When are you gonna
start writing for Leno?
You're so damn funny.
As long as you can get out of the shower
by 7:30 it's fine, it's great.
It all depends on Danny.
You know, it's his hair,
you know, it takes time.
Ouch.
- You know?
- Yeah, well it's time
for you girls to get outta here.
Nora's gonna be here any
minute and I wanna be alone.
Okay.
No problem.
I don't wanna be the one accused
of giving you performance anxiety.
Oh, yeah, might as well see
if we can get Keanu outta the shower.
Hey, hey, I'll be sure
not to tire her out for you.
Yeah, I hope that Viagra PowerBar
does it's job.
Look, Nora.
Shouldn't we go to the back?
Don't be stupid, Nikko.
You wait here.
I'm gonna go in.
I'll come and get you in a minute.
Okay, Nora.
Damn, she's early.
Good evening, Jason.
Hi.
You look great.
Thanks.
Are we alone?
Oh, yeah, just you and me.
Excellent.
Let's sit down on the couch.
I wanna get started.
Great, I think I need some
help with the, uh, love poems.
Oh, love, what a perfect place to start.
Well, sounds good to me.
How long is it?
Well, uh, well, actually-
The love poem, how long is it?
Oh, uh, it's about 15 lines.
Well, you need to relax first.
Give me your hands.
You're so strong.
You're such a man.
Yeah, well I use 'em a lot.
I'm sure you do.
Take off that shirt, it's distracting me.
Are we even gonna read a poem first?
No, suge, we're gonna make the poetry.
Oh, uh, sorry.
I, I gotta.
Hello?
Hi, Jake, what's up?
Me?
Nothing.
No, not, not, not a thing.
God, you sound weird.
Are you feeling alright?
Uh, me?
Yeah, yeah, fine, fine.
Uh, never felt better.
What about our date?
Are we still gonna study together tonight?
Oh, tonight?
You know.
Jason, what's wrong?
Well, Donna, I'm totally sorry,
but I, I just totally forgot.
I, I have this thing
with the brothers tonight
for the new pledges.
But you told me tonight.
I, I know, it's just, I
can't let the brothers down.
Donna, don't start.
I'm used to this.
I mean, it's always something.
It's always the brothers
or the poetry teacher.
Or she's not there is she?
Who?
Nora Crane.
You know who.
Me?
Come on, you know me better than that.
I love you, babe.
Yeah, well I hope so.
That poetry teacher's bad
news, Walter's been telling me.
You better keep her out of your hair
if you know what's good for you.
I will.
Look, uh, the action's about
to start here, I gotta run.
Well, call me when you're done.
Okay.
Remember what I told you?
Poetry teacher evil.
Bad.
No good.
Okay, all right.
Got it.
Bye.
She's gonna kill me.
Not if I can help it.
No!
Stop!
No!
Brad, help me, she's killing me.
I'm just gonna leave you two alone.
What the hell?
What is this?
A crazy man on crack?
Nikko, take care of that one will you?
Nikko, what are you doing?
Stop it!
Nora, Nora, I have
to tell you what happened.
I know what happened,
you crushed his throat,
you felt bad, you wanted
to start talking to him.
No, no.
This afternoon on campus that kid.
What kid?
The one I ran into at the cave.
You said, "He's in your class."
He seems smart and nice.
- Walter!
- Yeah, and nice.
And well, he told me,
"He figured it all out."
He knows everything that you're doing.
Everything that we're doing.
And well, he knows about the cave,
and the guys, and everything.
Nikko, don't go panicking on me now.
It's nothing.
That kid's a little milquetoast prick.
No one's gonna listen to his shit.
I don't know, he seems smart and nice.
Nikko, give it a rest.
I know how this college
frat boy world works.
The Walter kid is nobody.
If you and I stay focused,
things will go smooth as usual.
Don't go as spastic on me now.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry, Nora.
Nikko, do your
job and clean up in here.
I've got three more appointments tonight.
I need to stay on schedule,
which means you need to stay on schedule.
I've got a lot of work to do.
Gotta get this room organized and,
shit!
It's that jock.
Nikko, clean up in here.
I gonna go to the kitchen
and take care of him.
Hurry!
Whoa, hey, you're already here.
I thought we were gonna.
I'm sorry, Kevin.
I was a little early.
The door was open.
I guess I just made myself at home.
Oh, hey, that's, that's totally cool.
I'm just sorry I wasn't here.
Oh, please don't worry.
I keep myself busy while I was waiting.
I'm glad you're here now though.
Well, thanks.
Me too.
Uh, you know before we study
and all that, you wanna eat?
I'd love to.
Oh, great, I was like totally starved
on my way over here.
Want some pizza?
Mm, yes, that'd be nice.
Oh, great.
Um, you eat sausage?
Um, I mean, uh, you want beef?
I'm sorry, I, I mean, what
would you like on your pizza?
Just you.
What?
Um, um, um, it's up to you.
Excuse me, I need to fresh it up.
Oh, yeah, cool.
Go right ahead.
Don't let me stop you.
Oh, yeah, right, sorry.
Noble spines of men
support their angered souls.
The shoulders heave with
the cares of the old.
Achilles's arms hold forth
the rage leading to fingers
smooth by lover's touch.
Oh, Nora.
Standing straight like Troy's sentinels
harms the lover's ache.
Lay down upon my sacred peer
and rest that needful heart.
I think we should,
you know, go out there.
Oh, god.
Close thine eyes, oh, noble warrior.
You have toiled the day.
Oh, god.
You think only of love.
You think of love, you dream of love.
And you shall have it.
Fight not, young boy with what you desire
more than all else.
Look at him, what a fucker.
Shit.
Just have to make time.
There's so much better when
they're quiet like this.
Oh, Nora, you're so fucking hot.
I didn't know what the
fuck you were doing.
This is hot.
Oh, god, you are so beautiful.
Oh, Nora.
I'm yours baby.
Do what you will, I can take it.
I know you can.
What are you doing with that?
The spartan knew who
was man and who was boy.
The test of will proved the lie.
The test is sharp, warm.
Now.
Oh, that's kinky.
That's kinky.
All right please.
Okay, that's enough, please stop.
Please stop, please.
Well, this, this is too
much that I can take.
You're not like any of the Delta Gammas.
Fuck the Delta Gammas!
Okay, oh.
Do the Delta Gammas know how to do this?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, god.
Oh, oh, Nora, this is so fucking hot.
The staff of life so bold,
so strong remains the prize.
We hold so long.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, god.
Oh, shit, you cut me.
The stalk was hanging dizzying height.
To bring upon the many nights.
I never did that before.
Never did that before.
That was really hot and everything,
but please don't choke me this time.
I don't want my girlfriend
to notice any marks
around my neck, you know?
Of course not.
I won't choke you anymore.
Thanks.
You're beautiful.
A foe.
You bitch!
What the fuck?
Nora, I, I just, I-
You just what?
You're just wasting
fucking time that's what!
I'm in there working my ass off,
and you're screwing around in here.
Nora, I'm sorry.
I was just-
Nikko, forget the excuses!
Stop wasting time!
Make yourself useful!
I'm gonna go check out
the rest of the house.
Do-be-do-do-do
Da-da-da-da
Rubby-dub-dub
Good-looking man in the tub, oh, yeah
I gotta make myself useful.
I gotta make myself useful.
Hey Danny, come on.
You getting out of there sometimes soon?
Da-da-di-ba-ba-bo
Do-do-dee-dee-dee-dee
Do-do-do-do-do
Whew!
Da-da-di-da-da-da-da-da-di
Ba-ba-dow-do
Da-da-do
Do-do-do
Ba-ba-ba
Da-do-do-do-do
Nora, what are you doing here?
I'm not ready yet.
Oh, shut up.
See what vanity gets
you, you little prick.
Ancients said about narcissist,
vanity is the plague that
tortures the souls of youth.
The pretty, the supple,
the smooth all come to knot
the light of their own glory.
Oh, Nora, what are you doing?
Stop, stop!
Stop, don't!
Come on, Danny, let's go!
Man, you're gonna kill
yourself with that hairdryer!
My god, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-Do
Do-do-Do
Wa-ba-da-da-ba-ba-ba
Do-do-di-ba-ba
Do-de-de-de-de
Do-de-de-de-do-do-do
Come on, Danny, let's get.
Who the fuck are you, man?
Nikko, don't waste time.
Oh, maybe we should go around the back.
No, I come here all the time.
- Come on.
- Okay.
What are you doing?
Nora, I was making myself useful.
Come see, come see.
Shh.
God, Nikko, be quiet.
Jeez, you're so, so perverted sometimes.
I'm sorry. Nora.
I wanna make myself useful.
Go make yourself useful someplace else.
Go!
Never done this before.
You're not my girlfriend.
I knew these things had better use.
The shit?
Shh, shh, shh.
Don't move, don't make noise.
No screaming, she'll get mad.
Shh, please don't.
Stop, be quiet.
Please, please stop.
Please stop.
No, no, be quiet.
No, my sister, she'll be made at me.
Please, shh, shh, shh.
Please, no, no, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Don't make any noise.
Please, please, please.
Come on.
Close your
mouth, you'll catch flies.
Nikko, we're done up here.
Let's go.
Are you sure this is cool?
Don't worry about it, it's fine.
Shouldn't we go around back?
No way, I come here all the time.
Nikko, what the fuck are you doing?
Stop it!
You freak of nature.
What the fuck did you kill her for?
She was like innocent girl
who didn't hurt anyone.
And then you, I can't even talk about it.
She was making noise.
I, I didn't know what to do.
I can't handle this.
Shit, you fucked things up good.
Who the fuck is that?
Let's go!
Uh, maybe that Walter
guy called the police.
Don't freak on me.
Answer the door and act
like one of the frat guys.
Give me some time.
Me?
Do it!
Do it!
Dude.
Hey, dude.
Where's the party?
Hey man, I don't know you.
Is Danny around?
No.
What about Jason?
No.
How about Dave?
No.
What about Brad?
No.
How about.
It wasn't suppose to be like this.
Fucking Nikko!
Come on, let's go!
You fucked this one up good!
Um, Nora, can I take
a couple back friends?
At this point I don't
give shit what you do.
Let's get the fuck out of here!
Come on!
Yo, who let
the fucking door open?
Hey, yo, Brad,
Kevin, where are you guys?
They probably decided
to make it a threesome
and took it to the cave.
Man, don't be sick.
You're always talking about sex.
Hey, Jason, what the fuck man?
Come on, Jason, man, ha, ha, ha.
What are you doing?
Jason.
Man you're fucking lying, right?
Fuck, holy shit.
No, man, he's fucking jacked.
Oh, shit.
- Dude.
- Dave O, Kevin, Brad!
Shh, dude, whoever did this
might still be here, man.
Shut up.
Oh, man, it's like Walter said, man.
No, no, no, she didn't do this, man.
She couldn't have done this.
They're not fucking answering us.
You, you don't think?
No, I don't think.
Now come on, stop being such
a fucking girl, all right?
Look, dude, we gotta go
check the other rooms.
The other guys might
still be here, all right?
Come on.
Go check 'em.
Hey yo, Dave, you in there?
Aw, Kevin man.
- Holy shit.
- That's fucking Kevin!
Oh, fuck, man, Walter was right, man.
Oh, shit, man, she fucking
hunted them like animals.
Dude, she got 'em all.
Oh, fuck.
We didn't listen, man.
We fucking didn't listen, dude.
Walter, he's going to the cave tonight,
and that bitch will be there.
Fuck, you're right.
We gotta get the police.
No, no, no, no.
We're gonna go there and
do it ourselves, man.
Screw the police, okay?
What you talking about?
Dude, first we're
gonna save Walter's ass,
then we're gonna toast hers.
Did you see how many fucking guys she-
Dude, there's one of
her and two of us, man.
What's your problem?
We're not fucking ninjas, man.
Dude, where's your
fucking loyalty, all right?
Would you be there if I was there, huh?
- Would you come save me?
- Look at that fucking guy!
Would you come save me if it was me?
Would you?
Yeah.
So come on, strap a set on and let's go.
Oh, shit.
Let's go.
I knew it.
I knew it.
I gotta call my dad.
The police will believe
me now, I have evidence.
Hardwick Police.
Stuart Merrick speaking.
Dad, there's been a bunch of murders.
Hey, is this Wally?
Don't call me Wally.
It's Walter.
Listen, I'll call you
whatever I damn please.
Look, Dad, there's
been a bunch of murders.
There's this psycho teacher on campus.
Yeah?
It's that new poetry teacher
Nora Crane, she's evil.
I know it.
She has this poet society thing.
She takes these guys to the
cave and then they disappear.
It's in this cave off campus.
Wait, wait.
Did you see her do it?
No, I didn't see it, but
Dad, it doesn't matter.
I'm here at the frat house right now,
and a bunch of the guys are dead.
I thought you said it was
a cave or, or something.
It's in the cave and the frat house.
Wally, it's always the same with you.
You're letting your
imagination run over time.
I think what you should do
is spend some more time looking for girls.
Perhaps get yourself a girlfriend,
Incidentally that will
eliminate your makeup crimes.
The bodies are right here.
Bullshit!
I'm your father, buddy.
And I know I don't want
you to call your mother
and worry her about this.
Especially when you're
under this condition.
And besides I want you to get
your ass over here this week,
and clean that yard because
it looks like bullshit.
Man, did I raised a weirdo.
Oh, man, I had it with him.
Dad, Dad?
Shit, he hung up!
What am I gonna do?
Donna, Donna, she'll help.
Hi, this is Donna.
Can't come to the phone right now.
But if you leave your name and
number, I will call you back.
Love you.
Bye.
Donna.
Donna, are you there?
Pick up, pick up.
Goddammit.
Donna, this is Walter.
Look, everything we suspected is true.
That Nora bitch is a psycho.
We have to stop her.
Look, I'm at the frat house right now,
and things are much
worse than we expected.
And my dad totally blew me off.
I need your help.
Look as soon as you get a chance,
don't come to the Lambda Chi house.
Uh, I've gotta go back to
that cave or something.
That gardener guy I met
said, he'll be there,
but I guess I'll be all right.
Look, if you get a chance, meet
me at the cave or something.
Alright, thanks for listening, Donna.
I gotta go.
This is Walter.
Can't count as many times I've told you,
but you never fucking listen.
This is the result of you
following your own selfish pleasures!
We just got here, and we're
gonna have to move on!
I hope you're happy!
You mean leave, Nora?
We've killed as many as we can.
We've gotta go on!
But we just got here.
Sorry, see what
your fuckups lead to?
But what about that Walter guy?
He said, "He's gonna come and meet me."
Yeah, right!
No one's here!
No one's gonna show!
I want you to stay put.
Listen, I'm gonna go to campus,
collect what cash we do have.
I don't want any more problems
from you, do you understand?
Don't move from this cave!
But Nora, what if my
friend Walter comes-
Stop it!
You have no friends!
They're all enemy.
Listen, I don't have time for this.
I want your ass right
here when I get back.
Don't screw up!
I won't, Nora.
You came.
I knew you'd come.
I was late.
I had to get a flashlight.
I knew you'd come.
You're gonna make a great friend.
Yeah, well, I've seen enough.
I, I guess there's nothing here.
I, I was all wrong.
I should go.
No, no, no, you can't go.
I mean, um, you have to stay.
You have to help stop this.
I can't stop it.
I mean stop what?
You figured it out.
My sister, the poetry teacher.
She's like mad all the
time at all her students,
all those guys thinking of, looking at,
looking at her that way.
It's, they're so dirty,
and I have to help her.
Please, I, I try to make friends,
but they don't want to
talk to me like you.
You're different, I think.
Please stay.
Here, let me show you.
Let's go this way.
See, these are some of my old friends.
They were real bad.
They were thinking about
dirty stuff all the time.
They hurt my parents real bad.
I gotta go.
No, no, no, you can't go.
You're the first friend that talks to me.
I want you to stay here,
help, help me figure out what to do.
Please, it's been such a long
time since I had a friend,
a talking one.
Look my sister's gonna be
back soon, what do I say?
What do I do?
Hey Walter, hold on.
Is Nora with you?
I'm gonna make that bitch pay.
It's more those bad guys.
Call my sister a dirty name.
This way, I'm over here!
You're just like them.
You don't wanna be my friend.
My sister was right, you're all the same.
All you think about is sex.
All you think about is getting some.
I'm gonna give you some.
All of you.
What you did to my parents.
How could I even think that
you wanna be my friend.
I'm so stupid.
No wonder Nora always yells at me.
It's gonna be different this time.
I'm gonna be in charge of these guys.
I'll show 'em what I can do.
I'm gonna show her exactly what I can do.
This is weird, man.
I've never been here before.
Did you hear that?
What?
Sounded like some panting or something.
Careful.
Holy shit, man, it's that freshman.
Oh, god, man, it's Adam,
and Josh, and Brad too.
Oh, fuck, man,
look, it's Walter, man.
We're too late.
- Oh, fuck.
- Let's get outta here.
Oh, fuck.
Fucking.
Jesus, fuck!
Yeah, just like the
rest, you're all gonna pay.
Sister's gonna be real proud
when she seen what I done.
Fuck.
Evan, man, can you help me out here?
Coming man, hang on!
Fucker, can you feel that, huh?
Evan, man, fucking help me here!
Hang on, hang on.
Fucking guy's huge!
Jesus Christ.
Jesus, Justin, man.
Now you're gonna fucking die!
Keep on doing it.
What's this guy made of?
Die!
Hold on, man, hold on.
What the fuck is this thing?
Evan, man, can you get off me?
I'm getting fucking crushed down here.
I'm sorry, dude.
Oh, god, fuck.
Motherfucker.
- Dude.
- Shit.
We killed Fabio.
Man, you were fucking awesome, man.
Guy was a fucking yeti, man.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
He said his sister was coming back, right?
Yeah.
You're right.
Uh, let's, let's hide in the corner.
No, no, no, better yet dude,
we'll, we'll act like a couple of corpses,
and when she comes in on my
cue, we'll both attack her.
- Okay?
- You're right.
- Okay, come on.
- Okay.
You lie down
on top of me, all right?
Why do I have to be on top?
Dude, does it always
have to be sexual with you?
Oh, shit.
Just shut up, all right?
Nikko, you little fuck,
I told you not to move.
Holy shit.
Fucking Nikko!
Goddammit!
Well, at least you accomplished
something while I was gone.
What the fuck man?
Fucking little bitch!
Goddammit!
- Stupid little fucks-
- Bitch!
You think I didn't notice you there?
Why did you fucking stab me, man?
You killed my brother!
Vengeance is eternal.
It builds the soul and molds the heart.
Buy their time, 'til the
day when all is theirs.
Teach the wrongdoers of their evil ways.
Die slow evil ones.
Pay for the pain that you have caused.
Pay for the pain in all men's hearts.
Pay for the pain that's
yours and yours alone.
Those two were for you, Nikko.
Walter, Walter.
Oh, my god.
Walter.
Oh, god, Adam.
No.
Jimmy.
Oh, my god.
No.
Oh, my god.
Shit.
Donna.
Fucking whore.
Justice never flinches from the task.
Although in battle we
may lose our comrades.
Our friends, our brothers
fallen by the road.
We must find comfort in
justice of what is right.
The evildoers who darken the night
have been removed from the fray.
Their evil hearts beat no more.
For this we gladly pay.
Rot in hell you unholy cunt.
Piece of trash!
I'll tell you what's a piece of trash!
Trash is all you fucking
little frat boys with hard-ons!
Killed my father!
My mother!
Now my poor pathetic brother Nikko!
Help!
There's no help for you pervs!
Calm wind blows across the plain.
What is wrong has been made right.
But we are not done with our noble quest.
We must fight on to cleanse the rest.
Good morning.
My name is Ms. Nora Crane.
I will be your instructor here
for the remainder of the semester.
I'm glad to join the faculty here.
And I look forward to our
time together this year.
Poetry has been a chief
love of mine for many years.
The words, the rhythm, the
energy can do amazing things.
I hope to bring the joy of
poetry into each of you.
I want us to develop a relationship
that is intimate and powerful.
