questions
when it's so close
to your birthday?
My birthday's
not for two months.
That's close.
Not really.
Matter of opinion.

STARLA: Grant, I'm jumping in
the shower. Baby, we need to
leave in 40 minutes.
(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)
What are you doing?
Nothing. I gotta...
I gotta go to work.
I left something at work.
What? Grant, Deer Cheer starts
in about an hour,
and you promised me.
Gotta go! Gotta go to work.
I'll meet you there!
(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)
I will never understand
what joy a grown man gets
using a $1,000 weapon
to blow the face off
a cute little deer.
Yeah.
Surprised you're able to lift
a mug, you've been carrying
that torch for so long.
Oh, that reminds me
of something I want to
tell you.
What's that?
Fuck you, fat ass.
MAN: (ON TV) Melvin,
clean up the toilets.
It stinks over here.
Okay, I'll be right there.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Look what you did,
you fucking asshole!
Grant.
Damn, girl.
You are chocolate
for the eyes.
I thought maybe you was dead
after the other night.
I am dead. Don't I look it?
The old half-Mexican around?
At his mama's for the weekend.
I'm all alone.
Besides this one.
Hey.
Hi.
Scared you?
Hey, Bill.
What you doing?
Oh, nothing. Just...
I'm trying to get a buzz on,
but I can't.
I'm too buff.
Got too much muscle mass.
I don't know what it is.
Oh, really?
Congratulations, by the way.
Thank you.
Yeah, on the promotion,
that's...
Thank you.
Chief.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sounds weird, doesn't it?
No, it sounds nice.
So where's old Grant?
I don't know.
He was supposed to
meet me here, but...
It's kind of chilly tonight.
Yeah.
It sure is pretty.
You know...
It's probably time
for the countdown, almost.
Right.
Yeah, I think Jack's gonna
make a speech or something.
Well,
that will be interesting.
Thank you.
I would like to introduce
Mayor Jack MacReady.
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
JACK: Thank you.
Cheese and crackers.
JACK: (ON TV)
Ladies and gentlemen,
right after God invented
this world of ours,
he came unto Adam
and he said that man
should have dominion
over the fish of the sea,
and over the birds of the air,
and over every living thing
that moveth upon the Earth.
CROWD: (ON TV)
Amen! All right! Yeah!
Now, I believe
when God said that,
he was thinking of
deer season in Wheelsy
and how much damn fun it is
to shoot a buck or two!
Huh? Am I right?
Are you ready?
CROWD: Yes!
Ten, nine, eight,
seven, six, five,
four, three, two,
one!
Oh, God, Grant!
Let the hunt begin!
Grant, what is it? No!

Grant?
(SWITCH CLICKING)
Grant,
you know about this fuse?
Grant, why didn't you
answer your phone?
Grant?
(GASPING)
Oh, my God, baby,
what happened to your face?
It's just a bee sting.
I'll be all right.
I have a little reaction,
that's all.
Oh, we gotta get you
to the hospital.
No.
No, no, no, no.
I already saw Dr. Karl.
Gave me a prescription,
said it should clear up soon.
Said things like this happen.
Happens to people
all the time.
Come on, baby, don't...
Don't look at me like that.
Yes, hi, Dr. Karl.
This is Starla Grant.
CARL: Oh, Starla. How are you?
I'm fine, thank you.
I was calling about...
About Grant's condition.
I think that it may be
getting worse.
What condition is that, dear?
The one you just
saw him about.
Starla, I haven't
seen your husband
in over a year.
What's the matter?
Come on now, don't cry.
Now, look here.
You're doing a good job.
I'm so hungry,
I think I'm gonna die.
No, no, no, no. Here.
I got something here,
help you feel better.
Brought you munchies.
Come on now. Treat yourself.
Yeah, that's my girl.
Everything's
gonna be all right.
Hey, Starla.
Hey.
Bill.
