POLICE OFFICER: Detective Clarkin,
The missus says she got a visual,
but she's fuzzy on details,
It was dark, She was upstairs looking down through her window,
Said she was pretty sure she saw a white female, but couldn't guarantee,
She's still a little shaken, but, uh,
maybe when she calms down a little,,,
CLARKIN: Every day it's something new here,
-At least the weather's nice, -(CHUCKLES)
-Those the home owners? -Yeah, Right this way,
(INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
Think of any reason someone might wanna do this to you?
MARY: No,
Disgruntled employee, upset family member, neighbor?
No! No! No one we know would do something like this,
Of course,
Had to ask,
There's been a rash of home invasions
over the past few weeks,
so I'm sure this was in connection with those,
But who would do something like this?
Runaways, hippies, radicals, dropouts,
You name it, you got it all here in California,
Look, I've got a few theories,
but nothing I can share at the moment,
The good news is, they've all been relatively minor infractions,
People sneaking in, moving things around,
MARY: Excuse me, Officer,
This doesn't seem to be something minor,
It certainly didn't feel minor,
No, No, I'm sure it didn't,
I admit, this one seems like they're stepping things up,
Who knows what might have happened if you didn't call when you did,
I just don't understand,
They're crazy, dear, Crazy people do crazy things,

Happy birthday, Abby,
My birthday is in October,
-Ah, -Oh,
We know,
But aren't birthday parties
so much more fun than going away parties?
What? Not my idea,
-What was your idea? -WOJCIECH: I don't know,
Kidnap you, Keep you here forever and ever,
-How sweet, -Thanks,
SHARON: Wait, wait, wait, wait,
One more thing,
What's a birthday party without presents?
Sharon,
Beautiful,
(CLICKS TONGUE) Aw,
-I took it when we were,,, -I know,
It's Zuma,
Our beach,
It's beautiful, Sharon,
We always said it had a mystical hold over us,
Yeah,
WOJCIECH: This is actually where we first met, You remember that?
-Yeah, -That bonfire party?
That was a good party,
JAY: Credit where credit's due,
In this case, to me,
I'm gonna miss that beach,
-And we're gonna miss you, -Yeah,
So, when you get sick of Boston
and decide to come back,
it'll be the first place that we go,
Thank you, I love it,

(CAR RADIO TURNS OFF)

Well, maybe you should rethink that policy when the baby arrives,

Fourth of July was over a month ago,
What are people thinking?
I don't know, End of summer, maybe?
People use any excuse to blow stuff up,
So,
you wanted to talk?
Mmm,
Mmm, yeah,
(SIGHS) No,
(STAMMERS) I don't know anymore,
You don't know what?
I feel,,,
I feel like maybe I had you figured out all wrong somehow,
How so?
Because I never figured you to be the sort of trust fund girl
who would go crawling back to mommy and daddy
as soon as they threatened to stop sending the dough,
I'm not crawling back to them,
Oh, no, They're flying you first class,
That's bad, I'm sorry,
I'm not leaving because my parents threatened to cut me off,
I'm leaving because I feel like it's time to move on,
I don't fit in here,
This whole city is populated by people who feel like they don't fit in,
Look, I never told you this,
but a year ago,
I was gonna give up,
Just pack it all in,
But then I convinced myself to give it another couple of weeks,
What happened?
I met you
on that beach,
And it was then I decided
that I was gonna give myself as long as it takes,
Because no matter what happens with the business and all that,
there was always Abigail,
No, Wojciech, you,,,
(CHUCKLES)
You can't make me responsible for your dreams, too,
I'm not, I'm not, I'm just trying to convince you to stay,
so you don't give up on yours,
There's a reason that you don't fit in,
It's not because you're different,
It's absolutely because you're special,
(FIREWORKS EXPLODING)
I wish it could work out, Wojciech,
SHARON: It's not even late, Amy,
Plus, I know Abby would love to see you before she leaves,
I could use you as well,
I don't wanna be alone when she goes,

I'm sorry girls are crazy,
But I know her, and she'll come around,
It's gonna be a little tough for her to come around given that she's in Boston,

I'm already dead,
Friday night in Los Angeles,
a movie actress and four of her friends were murdered,
And the circumstances were lurid,
REPORTER ON TV: The crime scene resembled a strange, religious ritual,
A maid discovered the bodies in the morning,
and went screaming for neighbors,
A wandering band of members of a so-called religious cult,
with a leader they call Jesus,
has had three of its followers arrested,
WOMAN ON TV: Uh, we drove to the house
with instructions to kill everyone in the house,
I felt absolutely nothing for her as she begged for her life,
One of the people said, "Who are you?"
And Tex said, "I'm the devil, and I'm here to do the devil's business,"
MANSON: Believe me,
If I started murdering people,
there'd be none of you left,
Because my children are coming,
