[Rosy] Back in the woods you seen that sign.
You said we were close, but it wasn't on your map.
[gasps]
Billy?
[boy] What a baby.
[Jolene] Once you scare the bees away with the smoke,
you pull out the frame and abracadabra.
Honey.
Ain't it beautiful?
[Mike] Stupid.
Like I ain't never seen a jar of honey before.
[Jolene] In conclusion...
She's trying to talk.
I will kick your ass, you look at me like that again.
[Jolene] I hope one day...
[Ollie] Don't worry about him, Billy.
Momma was right.
He ain't nothing but a pissant in a pit bull's body.
[Mrs. Cunningham] Thank you, Jolene.
Now, who's next?
Billy Wiles.
You okay to share something with us today?
Or do you wanna sit this one out?
I'm right here, Billy.
And so is Momma.
I'm okay.
I can do it, ma'am.
Good luck.
[boy whispering] Why is he wearing a suit?
[girl] His Momma just died.
What you got there, Billy?
This is Ollie.
Speak up, now.
This is Ollie.
He's a very good friend of mine.
My best friend.
We do lots of things together.
- Hi, Ollie! [laughs] - [Mrs. Cunningham] Michael Wayne Apple.
Don't you test me.
You and Ollie do things together?
Go on.
Tell them about our adventures.
About all the nasty creatures lurking in the hills!
We go camping near Castleman's Nob.
And solve supernatural mysteries.
My daddy says all kind of things roam around up there.
There is! Bigfoots.
I mean Bigfeet.
- [students chuckle] - Me and Ollie seen their tracks.
We tried hunting them down once but they're awful hard to sneak up on.
And you know when they're close 'cause they smell like doodoo.
[students laughing]
I mean, they don't smell good at all.
And that ain't all.
We built us a pirate ship out of an old refrigerator box that Daddy gave me.
Let's show these guppies what real pirating looks like!
Arr, I'll make you walk the plank
if you don't show me where you hid your booty.
I told you, I don't have the booty.
I never had the booty!
I don't know where the booty could possibly be!
Blimey!
Don't try to hornswoggle me.
We'll ask me fine crew.
Do you believe this filthy bilge rat?
[all] No!
Then it's decided! To Davy Jones' locker, you go!
[students laughing]
[students applauding]
Ha, ha, ha!
[Mrs. Cunningham] Now, what did I say?
I told you not to test me.
Just enjoying the show, Mrs. Cunningham.
Shut up, you stupid redneck.
[Mrs. Cunningham] Hey, now, Jolene. We don't use that word.
[Jolene] Which one? "Stupid" or "redneck"?
Would you two like to take a walk to Mr. Carnes' office?
No, ma'am.
[Mrs. Cunningham] Go on, Billy.
Finish telling us about your pal, Ollie.
That's all.
[Mrs. Cunningham] Well, thank you for sharing, Billy.
That was very brave.
[groans]
No.
[Mike laughing]
Excuse you!
[Ollie] Hey.
Are you okay?
You know...
if we were real pirates,
we'd pull out our swords and make them walk the plank,
and then we'd feed his stupid dumb guts to the sharks!
We are real pirates.
Billy?
Momma...
Momma wanted me to tell you something. Hey!
- Hey, give him back! - I got him! I got his doll!
You want him back?
Maybe I'll just keep him.
Dissect him.
- Stop it, Michael. Stop it. - You want him?
Come and get him.
[Jolene] Leave him alone.
Get away! Get away from him!
[Mike] You need a girl to fight for you?
I thought you was a pirate, Captain Dumbass.
[door opens]
[indistinct chatter]
Little baby needs his dolly!
[cackling]
[bell jingles]
There's your stupid toy, baby!
Captain Billy. [laughing]
What a baby.
[Daddy] I need you to be tough for me.
[Zozo] Ollie, what's this black spot?
- [Daddy] You need to grow up. - [Mike] What a baby!
You can't keep acting like some baby.
No.
- No. - [Mike] Baby.
Billy?
I ain't no baby.
[Ollie] Billy.
[crying]
He left me.
[shouts]
Oh...
Hey! Your daddy teach you to run too?
I've been chasing you for a couple blocks.
Mr. Rhoades?
You shouldn't be out here!
Come on, now! Let's get you out of this rain!
Come on. Let's get you somewhere dry.
[Mr. Rhoades] Come on.
You can wait inside for your daddy.
[Billy] Yes, sir.

Just a sip of water?
Mm.
Thanks, darling.
God, I wish it was something stronger.
You should rest.
Do you know how much you mean to my boy?
To this family?
I'm worried, Ollie.
I don't know how it's gonna be for them when I'm gone.
I don't want them to fall apart.
I think they're having a tough time.
And neither of them really know how to handle all this.

There's a gap there.
It's all callused up.

I was looking for you all night.
You sneak off without telling me, Billy.
Running all over town.
Wrecking your suit, putting posters up, like...
Like a lunatic.
Looking for that damn rabbit of yours.
And then, Billy, I find you in a bar.
Getting ready to beat the crap out of some other kid.
That's one hell of a day.
[Daddy laughs]
So, what are we gonna do now?
We gotta go into that big empty house, Billy, but, uh...
I don't think I can do it alone.
- I'm sorry I ain't more grown up, Daddy. - Oh, come on.
I wish I was tougher just like you.
Shh. Billy.
Oh, man.
You're way tougher than I ever was, Billy.
Tough don't mean you can't cry.
Why don't we leave a light on for old Ollie?
Okay?
All right.
Let's go in.
Billy!
Billy, I'm home!

No.
They're gone.

There's the hoop spiral!

Oh, and the crowd goes wild!
[Billy] Are you prepared for a dangerous quest, matey?
Arr!
[Momma] What do we do when we're scared?
- [Billy] Mark Twain? - [Momma] That's right.
We think of the stars and we sing our song.
And we take a ride on Mark Twain.
[Ollie] Don't ever forget me, okay?
[Billy] Never.
He did look for me.
I'm sorry.
I missed it.
I missed all of it.
You have a question?
Well, we don't look like each other, do we?
Hmm.
Do you look like Ollie?
He's a bunny, Momma.
But you still love him, don't you?
- With all my heart. - [gasps]
Mm-hm.
Do you know where Ollie came from?
No?
Well, when you were little...
you were alone.
And you needed us, Mommy and Daddy,
but I thought that maybe you needed somebody else,
somebody special.
So, I took one of Daddy's shirts... You know that real stinky one?
...and I made his right ear,
and then I took one of Mommy's dresses and I made his other ear,
and then more and more,
magically, arms and legs appeared,
- then a face. - [bell jingles]
But he needed a heart.
And that jingle comes from my very best friend
in the whole wide world.
- You had your own buddy? - Yes! I sure did.
She was a dancing princess from the far-off land of Bali Hai.
And we sure as heck didn't look anything alike.
Her name was Nina, and I loved her with all my heart.
She fell apart a long time ago
but a piece of her lives inside Ollie.
Forever. A memory that'll never fade.
Like Ollie.
Ollie is us.
Our memories all stitched together.
Really?
Yeah, really.
Nina was mine, Ollie is yours,
and you are mine.
Look at me.
You are my heart, always and forever. Got it?
Got it.
- Te amo. - Te amo.
Big hug.
- [gibbering] - [laughing]
[Zozo] Nina.
- [gasps] - [tense music playing]
What did you do to her?
What did you do to my Nina?
I didn't do anything to her!
Get back here!
The whole time! Lying to my face!
Were you jealous?
- You and Billy pull her apart for fun? - No!
You took her bell, didn't you!
[bell jingling]
No!
- What did you do to Nina? - I didn't!
She fell apart!
She was loved so much, and she fell apart!
[wailing]
Billy's momma couldn't let her go.
So she put a piece of her inside of me.
Nina! Nina!
[sobbing]
I know how you feel.
It hurts so, so bad.
But that's okay.
It's okay to hurt.
- Here. - [bell jingles]
