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.
BILL: 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: 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: 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?
Yes!
Ten, nine, eight,
seven, six, five,
four, three, two,
one!
Oh, God, Grant!
Let the hunt begin!
Grant, what is it? No!
(SCREAMING)
(SINGING COUNTRY SONG)
(MUFFLED SCREAMING)
(WHOOPING)
(GAGGING)
(MOANING)
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?
STARLA: 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.
(BRENDA CRYING)
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. Wally.
- Howdy.
- Grant around, by any chance?
- Oh, no. He's not home from work yet.
- Mr. Grant!
- He's not home yet, Wally. I just said.
What's going on?
Do you know a Brenda Gutierrez?
- Maybe she called the house, or...
- No.
What's...
Girl disappeared Friday night.
Signs of a struggle in the house.
- Here in town?
- Yeah.
The thing is,
people saw Grant going into her house,
and that's the last anyone's seen of her.
It must've been someone
that looks like Grant.
Yeah. Maybe.
But have him give me a call
as soon as he gets in.
- All right.
- All right.
Well, thanks.
Night.
Night.
(FLIES BUZZING)
(COUGHING)
(GAGGING)
...1168.
SHELBY: You've reached Chief Pardy.
STARLA: No, no, no, no, no.
Please leave a message
and your call will be returned promptly.
Bill! It's Starla.
You were just here. And you need to
get back here right now. I think...
Grant is sick or something.
(SNARLING)
Why are you running from me, baby?
I wasn't gonna hurt you!
I love you, baby. I tried not to change.
- No!
- I'll get it.
- I'm too ugly for you now, is that it?
- You don't wanna hurt me.
You betrayed me.
I can't trust you no more.
Let me go.
Here, I got a little surprise for you.
Huh, sugarplum?
(BANGING ON DOOR)
BILL: Starla?
