Quotes 

• Cy Bradstone : [to video camcorder]  Every story has a beginning, but the part I like best is the end.

• [first lines] 

  Teen Cy : Guess who I went to second base with?

  Teen Matt : Who, Cy?

  Teen Cy : Lyla Smith.

  Teen Matt : Bull!

  [runs away] 

  Teen Cy : Get back here! Why don't you believe me?

  Teen Matt : Because you lie!

  Cy Bradstone : [voiceover]  I grew up normal, in a normal house, the size of a castle. I played sports, sang in the choir for the President of the United States, and celebrated my birthdays with four-story cakes flown straight from Paris.

• Matt Bradstone : You never told me that.

  Cy Bradstone : Yes, I did, yes, I did, yes, I did! But you thought I was lying and then you married my girl!

  Matt Bradstone : So, this is what you do, Cy? Why didn't you just hurt me?

  Cy Bradstone : I take away your senses, Matt. The last one is hearing. And if I take that, you wouldn't be able to listen to what I did to her.

  Matt Bradstone : You son of a bitch! You taped my daughter?

  Cy Bradstone : You son of a bitch!

  Matt Bradstone : You son of a bitch!

  Cy Bradstone : [smiles]  You son of a bitch!

• Cy Bradstone : [recording himself and scene]  And this is where my brother lives now!

  [chuckles] 

  Matt Bradstone : [happy]  There you are, Cy!

  Lyla Bradstone : I got you clothes. Bought you some shampoo and toothpaste.

  [Matt goes to hug his brother] 

  Cy Bradstone : [films self]  See? We're the perfect American story!

  Cy Bradstone : Yeah, yeah, yeah, ok. Turn that thing off an' come on in. Come on.

  Cy Bradstone : [Cy grins and it fades as he watches his brother and wife go in the house]  Every story has a beginning.

  [sinister] 

  Cy Bradstone : But the part I like best is the end.

  [a montage of his torture is shown; the screams heard; cut to credits] 

• Cy Bradstone : [driving and recording, panning between road and self]  My brother and I played kickball over there. And-and-and here is where we would hide from the police after stealing magic potions from the toy store. I don't know why they wouldn't believe me when I told them we were gonna make things with it.

  [camera cuts to another scene] 

  Cy Bradstone : I still build things now! I-I took apart a 1961 Desoto. A-a-a-and built a generator from scratch! It's SO powerful, i-it could light a Springsteen concert!

  [camera pans] 

  Cy Bradstone : But for now, it... it just lights my room.

  [laughs and opens two different doors to a kidnapped woman bound to a chair, uncomfortably reclined, and with eyes held wide open by grey tape] 

  Beth : [hysterical]  What are you... what you doing?

  [crying and gasping simultaneously] 

  Beth : I don't understand. I'll do anything. Please, don't hurt me!

  [hyperventilates] 

  Cy Bradstone : Shh, shh, shhhh, shh, shhhhh. W-why would I hurt you?

  [puts acid in a dropper which he will obviously be putting in her eyes] 

  Beth : [screaming]  No, no, no, no, no, no! Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  [screams fade into echoes]
