- Bush Warden, I think we've got a ride.
Maureen?
I'm Carol.
- Hi Carol.
- Hi.
And this is my friend Maureen.
- Well I'm Chuck.
- You're an Aries.
- What, she have ESP or something?
- Carol.
We can't go with him.
- Just wait.
What is it?
- I just can't go with him.
Aries is in a time of turbulence.
- Hey.
Can't you please forget about those stars for a few hours?
Look, after last night, I just wanna get out of here.
Besides....
I kind of dig him.
- It's sure gonna be a bad trip.
I have that feeling.
- You were serious about taking us, weren't you?
- At your service, ladies.
(soft classical music)
- Bach in the bus?
- How delightfully soothing,
and rapturous.
(upbeat disco music)
(soft classical music)
- You wanna get high?
- Sure, I'd love to.
Can I roll one?
- Try that.
(honking)
(upbeat disco music)
(men shouting)
(cheering)
(honking)
(phone ringing)
- This is Apollo 14.
- Well this is not mission control!
Now then, what took you so long to answer?
- I was concentrating on something else.
- How's the trip?
- Dynamite, man, dynamite.
- Good, good.
How far you travel, boy?
- I'm somewhere outside Naples, I think.
- Naples!
You're dragging ass, boy!
- Well I got lost leaving Miami.
- I'm gonna tell you something, boy.
I'm gonna tell you something, you hear this good.
You don't deliver that bus to Tallahassee by nightfall,
you ain't gonna get that twenty-dollar bonus.
- Don't sweat it.
- Responsibility, boy!
It takes character to undertake responsibility.
Now, Moran Modern Mobile Homes
is proud to give you that chance.
I mean, we're with you all the way.
Now on to Tallahassee, boy.
(dial tone)
- (scoffing) On to Tallahassee, boy!
- [Woman] Awaken to a new sense of consciousness.
Prepare to meet on this day
one who will lead you to sacred ground.
During this new journey,
avoid all lower animal passions.
Your creative powers will be awakened
to translate the mysteries of mind and soul.
(sexual moaning)
- [Carol] Look, don't worry.
I never come with a Pisces,
and I probably never will.
- [Radio] This is Sam Elliot
with the latest look at the weather.
It's devastating, unreal, a formidable challenge.
That's what some meteorologists are calling the front
moving into the vicinity this morning.
Winds have been clocked up to 60 miles per hour.
Torturous rain mixed with hail as big as,
you guessed it, baseballs.
This is indeed a memorable day in which one is prone to ask,
is this a real threat or just another empty spell of gloom
resulting from flying innuendo?
Stay tuned for an update from reliable Sam Elliot,
exclusively on this station.
(winds rushing)
This is Sam Elliot again
with a late-breaking update on Hurricane Alice.
Well, the emergency's over.
Hurricane Alice has left floods, fallen trees
and frustration in its wake.
Strange how nature still reigns
as the great equalizer, isn't it?
Calm and sunshine have fallen over the area,
but repercussions from angry Alice
might still very felt by nightfall.
I'll leave you with one word, caution!
Stay tuned for the man in the know, Sam Elliot,
only on this station.
(birds chirping)
- Where are we?
- I don't know.
But it's really nice.
- We're in the swamps.
- We're stuck!
Stay here, I'll see what I can do.
(birds calling)
Looks like we're here for good.
- Wow, this place is really freaky!
(rumbling)
- You wanna take a walk?
- Yeah.
- We should take this moment to pray,
and reconcile our thoughts with God.
It will relieve our burden.
(pleasant organ music)
(birds calling)
- Child ofApollo, prepare thyself.
- Who,
who are you?
- I am Pythin, priestess ofApollo.
Prepare yourself, oh child ofApollo,
for your sacred blessing of a new spiritual life.
You are to serve as my successor.
- Successor?
- The wrath of the python of the enemy ofApollo.
He is the messenger of Pazuzu,
who seeks to destroy the spirit or Delphi,
and your God.
Accept this sceptre as a symbol
of Pythin's strength and fidelity,
to Apollo.
- Thank you, Apollo,
my master and God.
- Hold on.
Look at him.
A little baby raccoon.
Hold it.
Come here.
Ooh, a mean man!
Look at him.
Did you think you'd gotten us?
Do you wanna hold him?
Just get him behind the neck.
Ouch. (laughing)
Did he hurt you?
(mysterious dramatic music)
- Apollo, my master and God.
Bring forth your strength
into thine humble servant.
Carol!
(squawking)
(bright synth music)
(laughing)
- Maureen?
- Welcome home.
(phone ringing)
I'll tear that mother right off the wall.
We're spaced out, mission control.
- Spaced what?
What the hell you doing, boy?
- If I knew, I wouldn't be lost.
All these detours and bypasses came out of nowhere, man,
and now we're stuck somewhere
in the thick of the Everglades.
- Oh, don't fool me, boy.
I know what you are!
You're one of them demonstrators
desecrating the name of Moran.
You're one of them damn peace-marchers!
- In the middle of the swamps?
- You ain't never gonna get that bonus this way, boy!
Hello?
(pleasant classical music)
- You're really into that stuff, aren't you?
- Maureen used to play the organ, you know.
- Yeah, but that's not organ music.
- It's Bach.
- Heavy stuff.
- For you, perhaps.
- It's very sacred sounding.
- Yeah, I know.
You know how it makes me feel?
Like I have to genuflect.
- Can't we just enjoy it?
- Good morning, Maureen.
I thought I'd stop by to congratulate you
on playing so well today.
- Thank you, Father.
I think I did better than yesterday.
And Miss Boyles seemed to be more relaxed, too.
- Ah yes, Miss Boyles.
Splendid soloist, fine voice.
God hath given her a tremendous amount of talent.
As he did you, Maureen.
- Thank you, Father.
- A talent that He hears these summer mornings
right in His own house.
- Mother said that it was a great honor
to be asked to play here
while the regular organist was on vacation.
That playing here at St. Timothy's
was greater than a recital at Carnegie Hall.
- Your mother obviously raised you very well, Maureen.
To be in awe of the Almighty and yet seek to please Him.
That is a formidable challenge.
Especially to someone as lovely as you, my child.
- Thank you, Father.
- You see, my child,
love is the key to His kingdom.
- Father.
- Hush.
Hush with such selfish pleadings.
Just think of pleasing Him more and more and more.
- Father,
I, I, I feel...
Scared and a bit funny.
- Now, now, fear is only embedded in you by the Devil.
He must be cast off for such beautiful pleasure to be given.
With God's blessing. (reverent choir music)
- Father.
What are you doing to me?
I can't.
But I wanna please him so much.
Father, give me strength.
- Strength, yes, my child.
Have strength, I will help you.
Most assuredly.
- I can't.
(panting)
I can't.
(moaning)
(dissonant chord)
(hissing)
- What's wrong?
- I don't know.
(sighs)
- What about Maureen?
Have you two been friends for long?
- Since our senior year in high school.
She moved to California with her parents,
and her mother was a teacher at the music conservatory.
Maureen was always different from my other friends.
- She sure is hung up on something.
But if she's supposed to be a free spirit,
I'd rather stay locked up inside.
At least I have fun.
- Me too.
(laughing)
- Can you believe it?
Four o'clock?
My daughter coming home at four o'clock in the morning!
And when I asked her,
what is a 16-year-old girl doing out 'til four o'clock
in the morning, she tells me, oh, just goofing around.
Goofing around.
What the hell does that mean?
Ever since her father left home,
she's been so independent.
What's happened to my little girl?
I just don't know any more, Alice.
All this talk of the new morality.
The pill, abortions.
They talk about that more than they do their homework.
You should see the magazines she reads!
And you can't believe what Carol and her friends
talk about on the phone.
It seems that whenever I pick it up,
they're on it.
Of course I listen to whatever they're saying!
What else is a mother to do?
- Hi, how are you?
- Hi.
How was the game?
- Oh, it was fine.
- Yeah?
- Uh huh.
Hey, come on, let me have it.
Come on, can I have it?
- No, no.
- No please, now really.
I want the helmet.
- Can I have a ride in your car?
- You want a ride?
- I'll give you the helmet back
if you let me have a ride in your car.
- Okay, okay.
Here, let me help you on.
- I love this car!
(engine sputters)
Woo!
(dog barking)
Hey, there's a lake over there, you know.
Wanna go see what it's like?
- Yeah, let's go.
- Yeah?
Okay! (laughing)
I bet you can't get me!
(laughing)
Do you want me to kiss you?
- Yeah.
(panting)
- I want you to touch me.
- What do you mean?
- I want you to touch me.
Touch me?
(sighs)
(romantic music)
♫ Touch me
♫ Make me feel that I'm alive
♫ Touch me
♫ Innocence must die so we may grow

♫ Touch me
♫ 'Til the winter pain has passed away
♫ Waking to the sunrise of our new life
♫ Music fills the air and makes us smile

- Hi.
May I come in for a minute?
I'm Senator Matt Mclver, I'm up for reelection.
I'd like to leave some campaign literature with you.
First of all, I'd like to discuss my stand on armament.
I think we have to disarm.
We have to stay protected but we have to disarm.
You know, those Russians
are terribly, terribly manipulative.
Where do you stand?
- I'm against killing in any form.
I think it's evil.
- Well, huzzah, huzzah.
Bravo, I think that's really terrific of you.
But you know something, I really think
that the young people of our country are just fantastic.
That's what's going to change our country.
It's great, but it's just gonna get
greater and greater and greater.
Now where do you stand on abortion?
- I told you I'm against killing.
- Oh, well, oh.
I'm in total agreement, I'm in total agreement.
I think you are power,
you really are what is power,
and it denigrates, it just strengthens my feeling
about everything I have said to you.
I just hope that you're going to think Matt Mclver
when you get into that voting booth.
- Sorry.
I'm from California.
- California.
California.
That's where they like everything so big.
Yeah, the size of those avocados.
(bright music)
Carol
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
- Just where the hell are you?
- Are you a Leo?
- How'd you know?
- Because afterAries, they're the most frenetic.
Chuck's an Aries.
- Now look here, I've got an airplane standing by
ready to search for you.
Now, just give me a clue!
- Well, there are a lot of tall trees.
And a lot of birds, (birds calling)
and snakes. (hissing)
Lotta weird sounds.
And swamps.
- Aw, dammit.
Let me talk to Chuck.
- He's off in another world right now. Sire...
(laughing)
- Hey, you missed all the fun.
You sure did, this place is so beautiful!
Hey, can we camouflage that bus
and just stay here and goof?
- Hey listen, folks.
We may have to.
I mean, they're sending planes.
- Crap.
- I guess I'd better take another look at the damage.
- Hey, what are we gonna to do for food?
- That should be a consideration.
I mean, being lost is one thing,
but being starved and lost is another.
- Let's go on a boar hunt.
- How do you hunt them?
- There's a bow and arrow on the bus.
Come on!
Come on, let's go.
- Okay.
- Stay down.
- Are they dangerous?
- They're vicious.
- Oh, great.
- For some it's a sacrilege to kill such an animal.
- Shut up with that occult crap for right now.
After we eat you can preach all you want.
- I'd settle old McDonald.
- There's one.
Let's get this mother first.
(snorting)
No matter what bad or good ideas,
there was old Mom, explaining it away
like some feeble fantasy.
(static buzzing)
This is K4CA, calling CQ.
- You know I worry about you so much,
down here all these hours by yourself.
You were such a dedicated little man.
You're gonna be famous someday,
and you'll always have your mother to look after.
Now come up and say goodnight.
You know your mother can't sleep
until she knows her son is safely tucked in bed.
- This is bullshit.
- Sonny!
- Oh Mother, I thought that...
- I know what you thought!
That language.
- I'm sorry.
- You march yourself upstairs to your room
and get down on your knees and beg forgiveness.
My baby.
- It all came out sounding like bad rock.
So when I left home,
I knew I wouldn't be back.
If not forever, at least,
for a long time.
Yeah, I really,
I really feel free for the first time.
I'm just starting to live for the here and now.
You know?
I'm not scared any more.
I'm not scared of you two,
I'm not scared of the swamp.
I'm not even scared of being out here
because the bus is stuck here,
or getting in trouble for it.
Hallelujah!
- Hallelujah!
(crackling)
(reverent choir music)
(whispering)
- Hey, I smell something burning.
- Pazuzu, the spell. - Oh God, Maureen!
Jesus.
- Hey, go back to the bus and get me the first aid kit
from behind the driver's seat.
- Turn the burning spigot,
and the evil of Pazuzu would be dispelled.
But the demon came from the south east.
- So she's really flipped out.
- I never saw her like this, Chuck.
(phone ringing)
- Would you answer that?
- Do I have to?
- What the hell did you do that for?
- Where's Chuck?
- He's helping out my friend.
- I knew it!
A riot.
Peaceful demonstrations, my ass.
They all wind up that way.
- [Chuck] Right there.
(birds calling)
- And my lovely bus in the center of it all!
The name of Moran
being pulled through the quagmire of violence!
Do you hear me?
(shuddering)
- She's gonna be okay.
It's just a burn.
- Why don't we all go inside, then?
- It's getting kind of chilly.
That would be nice.
Come on.
(birds calling)
(toilet flushing)
- Sleepy?
What's this you're always reading?
- The story of Delphi.
- Oh yeah?
You really believe that stuff?
- It all relates.
So does astrology.
Like you.
You're an Aries.
The superman of the Zodiac.
It's a guide to help us understand
and know the people who live around us.
- I guess that's never been very important to me, really.
- I just think it's important to understand
as many facets of spiritual life as you can.
- I admit I look for the obvious,
but that's not so bad really, is it?
Let's take a walk.
- I don't know.
- Come on.
(romantic music)
♫ I feel your eyes exploring my face
♫ I feel your gentle touch embrace me

(birds chirping)
(shrieking)
- Hey, hey.
- Hmm?
- I thought I heard a scream.
- Come here.
There's nothing to worry about.
- You know something?
You were so right about everything.
(birds chirping)
(plane rumbling)
(screaming)
- Hey.
- An Aries!
A beautiful Aries! (laughing)
