At the top of his game, Stephen King has a real gift for mining monsters--zero-at-the-bone horror--out of everyday faces and places. Adapted from a novella in the 1982 collection that also spawned Stand by Me and The Shawshank Redemption, Apt Pup… more »



Todd Bowden:
Have you lost your mind? What the hell were you thinking, 'Grandpa'?

Kurt Dussander:
What are you so excited about?

Todd Bowden:
Oh, you've got some f***ing balls! I could have screwed you up, anything could have happened!

Kurt Dussander:
You played it beautifully, boy. I knew you would.

Todd Bowden:
Are you f***ing drunk? I could have busted you right there!

Kurt Dussander:
Yes, you could have, but you did not. Now, why was that? Your Edward French is not going to give you any more trouble, so now you are upset because the only way you can make things right is to work.

Todd Bowden:
I'm upset because you had that a**hole thinking I can do something that can't be done!

Kurt Dussander:
Oh, but it can. And it will. You will simply have to work. No more stories. No more screwing around.

Todd Bowden:
I don't take orders from you.

Kurt Dussander:
[sniggers] You do now.

Todd Bowden:
Oh, you think so? Yeah, well, don't forget I could walk right in there and pick up that phone...

Kurt Dussander:
And do what? Do you really think that I would stand aside and let you turn me in without dragging you with me, do you? Your American self confidence is so bloated you've forgotten the reality of the situation. 90,000 died in Patin. To the whole world, I am a monster. And you have known about me all this time. If I'm caught, when those reporters stick their microphones in my face it will be your name that I will repeat over and over again. Todd Bowden, Todd Bowden... Todd Bowden, yes, that was his name. For how long, for months, almost a year, he wanted to know everything. That was how he put it, yes, everything.

Todd Bowden:
You're crazy. They'll never believe you.

Kurt Dussander:
It doesn't matter. Oh, you're going to be infamous, boy, take my word for it. And do you know what such a scandal can do? It never goes away. Not for you, not for your parents. And besides, lying to judges and reporters isn't as easy as you think. You'd have to be brilliant. Can you do that? I know I can.
