It is very clear that the boy pulls off the woman's nipple with a pair of pliers and the older sister sees this, but later the mom says that he was only feeling her body while masturbating (which we never saw.) The father asks if anyone was hurt and she mother says no. What the *beep* The woman had her *beep* nip pulled off.
shareYeah I didn't get this either. The sister went down to button up her dress so she clearly saw her missing nipple, but why she lied to the mother about the brother jerking off to the woman is beyond me.
shareI think the mother was referring to the two children... Or it could also just be an example of how afraid the mother was of the husband.
Put your lighter in the air and lead me back home.
Yea I didn't get why the Mom didn't say he was violent with the woman. Not that he would have cared anyway.
i hope you choke on your bacardi & coke!

I got lost right there, too. Perhaps in the book he masturbated and somehow the script got fudged along the way.
shareI'm thinking maybe she intentionally went that route....maybe hoping it sounded worse than what he actually did. Maybe hoping the dad would admit to what he had done to the woman....because I think she finally realized what he was doing the night before....and what he had been doing to the daughter. Almost like her coming out of her own denial and just needing him to admit it.
shareFor a sec, I thought she intentionally lied. Trying to worsen the effect to get daddy angry. But the boy never stood up and accused her of lying. So i just assumed something in the scene wasn't done correctly. Unless the boy wanted dad to think he was out there pervin' so he could be more like his dad? Hell, I don't know.
shareI think you might be right in regards to the boy not caring. He knew his dad wanted him to be that way...so ultimately it didn't matter what he did, because the dad would be proud of him.
shareI didn't get that either. It definitely sounds like something got messed up on the set. Unless the boy was masterbating while torturing The Woman, and the mom just avoided using details when breaking the news to the dad.

I'm sure he was masturbating while he was torturing the woman. Not sure why the mom said "no" though.. however, she didn't care about the woman as much as she did her kids so she was probably talking about her kids, not the woman.
shareMaybe the mom was beaten so much that pain/sexual pleasure had become one in the same?
shareI thought he was doing both when the elder sister found him.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
When he sister found him he may have begun touching himself. Of course they're not going to shoot a scene of a teen boy jerking off. I just assumed that when she opened the door, that is what she saw.

I just assumed he was scalping the bear while tearing at the woman's nip because he got off to inflicting pain on others.
shareActually I didn't think anything was "very" clear about that scene. I thought he was pulling out her teeth. My explanation was that they didn't have the budget to show was was happening. They saved the special effects cash for the end.
shareI'm pretty sure the little boy and the naked woman were never on set together for that scene, because i don't think thats legal, so I guess it must be pretty hard to film such a scene...because they can't show you anything of what's going on.
but initially I thought Peggy downed the gravity of it all to her mother, because to her what he had done was incomprehensible, so she downed it down to something bad that she can understand, something that makes more sense to her.
WHY AM I THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS BUS???
