Just say you'll love me for the rest of your life
I gotta lot of love and I don't want to let go
Will you still love me for the rest of my life?
'Cause I can't go on, no I can't go on
I can't go on if I'm on my own

Stu pulls up to the Blockbuster where Randy was working, "What are we doing here?" Lilly asks as they all get out of the car.

"Bugging Rand." Stu replies as he walks over to her and pulls her close, "Why do you have to be so goddamn gorgeous?" He smirks.

"Dude! Sister!" Billy cringes.

Stu gives him a taunting smirk, "Well, sorry, man. But I love your sister." He chuckles mischievously as he starts to tickle her neck with kisses.

Lilly squeals in laughter, "Stu! Let go!" She squirms in his grasp.

Stu pulls away and pecks her lips before taking her hand, "Alright. Let's go."

The three walk inside, Billy walking over to the Horror section after grabbing a box of candy. Lilly follows Stu as he sneaks up behind Randy who was about to stock movies.

"Oh!" Stu shouts as he knocks the movies out of his hands before walking around the display.

"Dork. Hey, Lill." Randy rolls his eyes at Stu and smiles at Lilly.

Lilly smiles as she picks the tapes up and puts them on the cart for him, "Thanks." Randy says.

"Jesus, this place is packed tonight, man." Stu says as he looks around at everyone.

Randy smiles, "We had a run in the mass murder section." He takes some tapes and stacks them up.

"Coming to my fiesta?" Stu asks as he leans on the display.

"Yeah, I'm off early. Curfew, you know?" Randy nods as he sneaks a glance at Lilly who was looking at the tapes on the cart.

"What's that werewolf movie with ET's mom in it?" A girl asks Randy.

"'The Howling'. Horror. Straight ahead." He replies as he points behind her.

She thanks him before walking away. "Oh, now that's in poor taste." Randy says as something catches his eye.

"What?" The couple says in unison as they look to see Billy eating candy and talking to a couple of girls.

"If you were the only suspect in a senseless bloodbath," Randy says in a low voice, "Would you be standing in the Horror section?"

Stu shrugs, "It was just a misunderstanding. He didn't do anything."

"You're such a little lapdog." Randy scoffs, "He's got 'killer' printed all over his forehead."

"Hey! That's my brother, asshole!" Lilly crosses her arms.

"Okay! Really?" Stu mocks, "Then why'd the cops let him go, smart guy?"

"Because, obviously, they don't watch enough movies." Randy replies, "This is standard horror movie stuff. 'Prom Night' Revisited, man."

Stu leans on his hand, "Yeah? Why would he wanna kill his own girlfriend?"

"There's always some stupid, bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend." Randy scoffs.
