Dreaming about some guy? I don't dream about guys.
Oh, come on, helen! Helen: I don't dream! Are you calling me A liar or something? Man: Hey, helen, It's not worth getting upset about.
It's not easy when your own sister calls you a liar.
Man, that joanne is sure some piece of merchandise! But that sister of hers-- god! I mean, how can that be the same family? Well, she must have come From the shallow end of the gene pool.

Get off her case.
Hey, come on, scott, lighten up.
We didn't mean anything.
Give it a rest, will you? Yeah, all right.
Look, she may come across as a geek, But it's a package deal, And joanne hates it when people bother helen.
Okay? Sorry, helen.
Will I see you tonight? Well, do I get to see that fancy new dress you bought? Scott, not until the prom.
Come on! It's the contents I'm interested in, not the package.

We-- what? I go see her; she's in the book.
I can say I'm From an antique store And, uh, that I want to buy the compact.
Great.
And then, ryan, why don't you check out the school? I mean, if she hasn't got that thing, Well, maybe she's given it to somebody else, Maybe she's got it in her locker.
I don't know, whatever you can come up with, eh? Right.
Right.
You know, all these books-- I can't find a thing about that compact.
Maybe I should call in on rascheed.
He must be back from cairo by now, huh? Woman (over television): I'm pregnant.
It's your baby.
(quavering): How could something like that happen to greg? What a horrible thing.
I was talking to him only a few hours before.
Scott: Yeah, he was always Fooling around.
(sobbing) But a trash compactor-- like, why would he get in there? Poor helen.
Shh.
Oh, it's all right, it doesn't bother me.
He was becoming a pain in the butt Anyway.
You know he had bad breath? How can you talk like that? Hey, it's the truth.
Scott, want a sandwich? No.
(knocking distantly) (indistinct talking over television) Yeah? Hello, are you helen mackie? Who wants to know? Hi, I'm micki foster.
I'm a buyer from an antique store.
Oh, we're not interested.
We got all the useless old things we need.
Well, actually, I'm looking for a small gold compact.
I was wondering if you'd seen it.
What makes you think I'd want some grungy old hunk of junk? A compact? A gold compact? That could really be worth quite a bit of money.
I said I never saw Anything like that.
Beat it.
Helen.
Great, mick.
Helen, who was it? Helen.
Nothing, nobody.
Scott.
Finally.
Hey, guys, here's the scoop.
There was an accident today on campus.
One of the local jocks got killed.
Any chance it really wasn't an accident? Well, yeah.
You never know when there's a cursed object around.
Did she have the compact? Well, she says that she doesn't, But from the way she reacted, I don't know.
Well, we got to find out, we got to find out fast.
After today, micki can't get anywhere close to her.
I'd stand out like a sore thumb.
(chuckles) That's what I thought.
(indistinct chatter, pop music playing) What the hell did you do to him? I don't know what you're talking about.
Greg-- what did you do? I didn't do anything.
The hell you didn't.
You did something sick and disgusting to him.
You made him crawl in front of the whole damn school.
Hey, any crawling he did was his own idea.
You humiliated him, you abused him.
I d-- I don't know why he took it from you.
Maybe it was love.
Love.
What would you know about love? I don't care what I have to do.
I don't care how long it takes.
I'm going to find out what you did And I'll get you.
Russel.

Up you go.
Up.
It's got to be out there.

Well, then why can't we find it? I don't know, micki.
Maybe someone else beat us to it.
No! It's a possibility.
No! It's out there! You know, micki, no one ever guaranteed That we're always going to be successful.
This time we just failed.
Well, then, all of it was for nothing.
All those people that died.
That boy in the basement.
Did you ever think, We've been really lucky recovering all these things? The law of averages just caught up to us.
And ryan.
A little rest, and I think he'll recover.
I don't think I will.
I just keep thinking of that thing out there, And more people are going to die Because we didn't get it back, because we blew it! We do what we can.
It has to be enough.
All these Damned and cursed objects-- they can't be destroyed, So it'll turn up again.
We'll get it.
Hmm? What about all the people That are going to die because we didn't? Yeah.
