Creepshow Page #3

Here, let me get that out of you.

There you are. That's good.

No, l keep my promises.

Get out.

Get out of here! Jesus!

Richard!

Get it out of here!

Found a friend, Harry?

"l'm just wild about Harry"

Come on, Richard.

Get it out of here!

He's just getting revenge.

For all of the relatives of his that you ate,

baked and stuffed at Ma Maison!

Bad fellow! You bad fellow!

Get away!

Money!

Look, l have money!

l'll give you anything!

Just get me out of this hole!

l have something here...

...that will take your mind off of it.

lt's showtime!

Becky?

lsn't this a great video?

l love this!

Look at the quality of that picture!

Somebody!

Becky?

Becky!

She can't hear you!

l'm sorry. She lost the coin toss.

l had to bury her further down the beach.

Couldn't even leave her a monitor.

Would have shorted out by now.

No, no! That's a trick!

You son of a b*tch!

That's some kind of special-effects trick,

isn't it?

Just look at the VCR back there....

l'm sorry. You can't turn your head.

Let me assure you the VCR is not on PLAY,

it's on RECORD.

l'm going to save this stuff!

Two of you are part of my home movies!

You're insane!

lt won't be long now.

Not long at all.

Oh, my God!

You are insane.

l kept my promise

that you would see Becky again.

ls that insane?

You bastard!

There's a chance you can get out of this.

The tide might even set you free.

lt depends on how long you keep your cool,

how long you hold your breath.

The water is so cold!

So salty.

You're underneath, holding your breath...

...waiting for the wave that's covering you

to go back out...

...so that you can snatch a quick breath...

...before the next wave comes in!

You have a chance, Harry,

if you don't lose your head.

lt looks like she's losing hers!

Oh, God! No!

Feel how hard your heart is beating, Harry?

How fast?

That will make it harder

for you to hold your breath.

Oh, the tide.

lt's coming in.

lt's getting late, Harry.

l'll have to prod along now.

Wait!

But you enjoy the show.

At least until the monitor shorts out.

All right! Come on! Stop it!

Sorry, Harry. l really can't stay.

Come back here!

Oh, God! Harry!

Oh, my God.

Richard!

I'm going to get you!

Do you hear me, Richard?

Do you hear me, Richard? I'll get you!

You have to hold your breath.

You have to hold your breath!

The current pulled him out.

That's what happened.

Current pulled him out. He's gone.

Richard!

Now, let me see, where is...?

lf that damn maid has been moving

my stuff again, l swear l'll--

Richard?

The undertow has carried them away

and saved me the trouble.

Come out of it!

No need to get jumpy.

They're all gone, blub-blub-blub.

Who's out there?

Wentworth?

ls that you, Wentworth?

May l remind you, dear boy, l have the gun.

Wentworth?

l suggest you get out of here...

...or l'll shoot you!

Fair warning!

Wentworth?

l'll shoot you dead!

Get out of here, Wentworth!

You can't shoot us...

...dead, Richard.

Because we're already dead!

We want to see you, Richard!

We want to see you, Richard!

We want to see you, Richard!

We want to see you, Richard!

We dug a hole for you, Richard.

On the beach.

Below the high-tide line!

Here we come!

"lt's showtime! "

Here we come, Richard!

Let's go to the beach.

We just want you to come to the beach.

Come with us.

Come down to the beach.

lf you don't panic....

lf you can hold your breath....

lf you can hold your breath....

lf you can hold your breath....

lf you can hold your breath....

l can hold my breath...

...for a long time!

Look at that!

What the devil...?

Dexter, you are such a child!

You and Henry both are such children.

But at least Henry has me

to take care of him. Don't you, dear?

Tabby, Richard...

...l'd like you to meet Dexter Stanley...

...our distinguished professor

in the zoology department.

They're both new here

in the math department.

How do you do?

What a lovely name you have.

Actually, it's Tabitha.

-Pleasure to meet you, Professor Stanley.

-Just Dex will do.

This is Henry and Wilma Northrup.

Just call me Billie. Everyone does.

You need anyone to show you the ropes,

hon, just come see me.

l know all the best stores.

Nice to meet you.

Are you buying or renting?

We're renting at the moment.

lt's just as well.

Buying real estate in a college town is

a pain in the ass.

Take my word for it.

Henry is in the English department.

And Wilma....

l just take care of Henry.

Believe me, he needs it.

Did you ever meet a man who didn't?

You're not drinking?

Actually, we just got here.

Well, we can take care of that.

Just come with me.

Stay here until l get back.

These people are dry. Take care of them.

They don't know what they're doing.

And if Dexter hadn't had his teeth capped,

he'd have been out on his ass years ago.

So when Parker told me

that l was out of line...

...l told him he ought to get laid.

"Parker," l said, "if you'd just have

your ashes hauled...

"...you wouldn't have to spend

all this time playing Emily Vanderbilt! "

Or Emily Van Buren...

...whoever that etiquette crotch is!

Excuse me.

l don't know why they keep inviting her!

How about tonight?

Maybe we could do it tonight?

That would be great.

All right, l'll call you about it.

l gather you'll be unavailable

for chess tonight.

Henry, l'm just about reaching

a point where l--

Pardon me. Would one

of you be Professor Stanley?

Yes, l am.

-There is a telephone call for you.

-All right. Thank you.

Probably be Charlie again

with his damn ear mites.

He'll get the Nobel Prize before he's 20!

Especially if he's working

at Amberson Hall in August.

No, he's downstairs. lt's cooler.

Yeah, sure, l'll come tonight.

Well, thanks.

Hey, what are friends for?

Just call me Billie.

Everyone does.

l thought l should call you anyway,

see what you thought.

Did Charlie tell you l was here?

Yeah. I sent him out for a hamburger.

l had to insist.

That kid doesn't know if it's night or day

when he gets going.

Yes, he's very dedicated.

l'm willing to bet that crate...

...is full ol National Geographics

or back issues of the Reader's Digest.

The date on it said 1834.

Did they publish a Reader's Digest

way back then?

Yes, it's stenciled right on the side.

June 19, 1834.

And then something

about an "Arctic Expedition."

There may be something more interesting

in your crate than periodicals after all.

...because everyone in the department

is looking to put the knife in you.

l mean, some of these

so-called "academics"...

...make the shark in Jaws

look like f***ing Flipper!

Wilma!

Your husband is calling you, Billie.

Oh, God, Henry! What's wrong now?

Not a thing, Wilma.

Everything is just fine.

Hell of a shot.

Bull's-eye.

Henry, can't you do anything right?

Huh?

"Huh?" That's what l figured!

That is just what l would expect from you!

l told you half an hour ago

to get one of them...

...kids in the monkey suits

to bring the car around!

Oh, l'm sorry.
