Yes, but Junior would

Oh, no. I didn't say he did anything.

Charles Lee Ray, the famous
serial k*ller from Hackensack.
Who?
Wow. Do you read anything
other than "Teen Vogue"?
Well, anyways,
Charles Lee Ray was a serial k*ller
who died in the ' s.
I mean, He terrorized
Chicago for years. Prolific.
They call him the Lakeshore Strangler,
but he never really strangled anyone.
I mean, he was more of, like,
a mangler or a butcher...
Devon, the point.
Fine.
Do you know the website
Urban Legend: Fact or Fiction?
Do I look like a nerd?
Well, there's this urban
legend about Charles Lee Ray.
It's crazy, but who knows? Maybe not.
It's about a Good Guy doll.
- Like Chucky.
- Exactly.
You see, Charles Lee
Ray was shot and k*lled
in a toy store in Chicago,
but supposedly, right before he died,
he transferred his soul
to a Good Guy doll,
and that doll is still out
there k*lling, supposedly.
It's not a legend.
You have to believe me. Chucky is alive.
- Come on.
- No, no.
I know it sounds crazy, but...
it's not just alive.
He is trying to k*ll us.

No.

Well, tell me what I should think.
And what about your father?
Was he hitting you?

Did you need your dad
to just stop hitting you
and you didn't know what else to do?
And Oliver, did you need him
to just stop bullying you?

Yeah.

Well, last time I saw
him, he was in my room,
surrounded by fire,
after he tried to k*ll me.
But you didn't see him die?
No, but I mean, half
the house burned down...
No, it doesn't matter.
Okay, I have to find him
and make sure he's dead,
'cause if he's not,
he's gonna come after you again.
Why?
Jake,
why is your doll coming after me?
'Cause I... I told him to.
You gave that thing to my sister.
You knew what he was and you
put him in my house anyway.
- I didn't mean...
- You told him to hurt me.
Jake, did you tell him to k*ll me?
Oh, you freak!

Charles Lee Ray, the famous
serial k*ller from Hackensack.
Who?
Wow. Do you read anything
other than "Teen Vogue"?
Well, anyways,
Charles Lee Ray was a serial k*ller
who died in the ' s.
I mean, He terrorized
Chicago for years. Prolific.
They call him the Lakeshore Strangler,
but he never really strangled anyone.
I mean, he was more of, like,
a mangler or a butcher...
Devon, the point.
Fine.
Do you know the website
Urban Legend: Fact or Fiction?
Do I look like a nerd?
Well, there's this urban
legend about Charles Lee Ray.
It's crazy, but who knows? Maybe not.
It's about a Good Guy doll.
- Like Chucky.
- Exactly.
You see, Charles Lee
Ray was shot and k*lled
in a toy store in Chicago,
but supposedly, right before he died,
he transferred his soul
to a Good Guy doll,
and that doll is still out
there k*lling, supposedly.
It's not a legend.
You have to believe me. Chucky is alive.
- Come on.
- No, no.
I know it sounds crazy, but...
it's not just alive.
He is trying to k*ll us.
