Digging Up the Marrow Page #6

---

Not very identifiable.

Now the case is still open,

you know,

it's unsolved but,

I bet my pants it was that boy.

In every society,

there are other deviants.

The bad seeds, you know.

The ones who are pure evil.

You're saying

that

something from The Marrow

killed somebody

and these things are dangerous.

Not all of them.

But some of them.

Perhaps.

Er... I think we're good.

For today. Can we stop?

- Yes.

- Yeah, it's a cut.

Forget the fact this guy

is just a complete psycho

which is a given.

But now he's showing us these

like images of these things

that may or may not exist,

right?

And now he's says

they're killing people.

I don't understand

what we're doing.

Yeah, I mean you...

you were there. You saw it.

You can't deny what we saw.

Well, I mean I can't say

that I saw a real monster.

Look at the movies we've done,

right.

Like think about that.

All the make-up effects

that we put on the screen,

the visual effects...

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

After all the movies we've done,

you mean to tell me that

you can't tell the difference

between full latex or silicon

and what we actually saw

right in front of us.

I'm just saying it's possible,

you know. That's all.

It's possible what?

That there's monsters?

No! That this guy's

a total freakazoid!

Guys...

Listen... I mean...

I'm not actually working

on this whole monster project,

but what I am working on is

a little show called Holliston.

Um, I am a little concerned,

Adam, do you have any scripts?

They're almost ready... I uh...

they're gonna be done...

But we start production

in like two months.

And I will get it done.

I don't want to just, you know,

I don't want to say

"'Stop what you're doing

and write Holliston"

but I really need you to stop

what you're doing

and write Holliston.

OK. If...

I swear to God,

if you had been there

and you saw this,

you'd be just as fire up

as we are

and you would be like, "OK,

the other stuff can wait."

And you don't think

it's dangerous.

You don't think

you could get hurt.

Listen, it was fun

when it started.

You know running

around the woods

chasing the psycho guy around.

It was fun. But now,

Sarah's telling us

we're putting the show on hold,

which means we're putting

our careers on hold,

and, I mean,

I talked to Krishna about it.

She's not really happy

about this whole thing.

Oh, no.

You know, not to be a dick

but I don't care

what your wife thinks.

Why doesn't she write

the next season of the show?

- It'll probably be better.

- Adam, stop. Stop it.

All I am saying is that

an amazing opportunity

just dropped right into our laps

and now you're saying

you want to quit.

No, no, no no. I'm not saying

that I want to quit.

I'm just saying that we need

to control it better.

We need to get done

what we need to get done.

Not quit.

Adam, like honestly,

do you 100 percent

believe this guy

and his whole monster thing?

I...

Ninety percent.

I 90 percent believe.

Well, 90 percent.

That's a lot of percent.

All right, that's number five...

Uh, wait... I'm sorry.

Could you please wait?

Because we need to shoot you

when you analyze the footage.

So just wait till we get back,

please.

So, you're sure that camera two

is in this tree?

Yeah, I'm sure.

And we have one, three,

four and five.

Definitely, two.

Uh, maybe it fell out?

No.

Uh, what about you, Mr. Dekker?

See anything over there?

No, I don't see a thing.

Nothing.

Well,

looks like we lost camera two.

Come on.

We got to get out of here.

I will pay you back.

I got something.

- Huh?

- Adam, come here.

Now look, look!

Will... Come here, come here,

come here!

- Oh, look.

- Dude, dude!

Come here, come here, come here!

See... didn't I tell you?

That is awesome.

I've never seen one

like that before.

- Really?

- No...

New species.

You want to name it?

Me? No!

You do it.

It's... That's your thing.

All right, all right.

I'm gonna call them

Little Big Foot.

Little, Little Big Foot, really?

He looks like a Big Foot,

doesn't he?

Yeah, I mean if Big Foot

was a real thing

and if anyone had seen it.

What about, what about

something more original?

You know what about, um,

Deringer.

So you wanna name it?

No...

You... You...

All right, then.

Little Big Foot.

New species.

You don't like Deringer?

OK, stop it, stop it.

OK, so that was,

what, four hours.

- Four hours

- Four hours, and then,

whatever that thing is,

crawls out of the hole

and walks away.

So you honestly want

to try tell me that Dekker

had some dude just wait

underground for four hours

only to get up and walk away

for our cameras.

You got me. You got me.

Ha!

Three, two, one.

We've now cut our second monster

on camera, and

Mr. Dekker seems

to think that it's a

new kind of species

which is all kind of...

- Stay.

- What?

Come to bed.

I'm going to in a second.

I just...

I have to do my recording

about the second monster

or else it's going

to drive me nuts.

Then I'll be talking about

monsters all night.

You're cute.

Seriously, though,

you need to sleep.

I'm going to.

In three, two, one...

So look at that...

I mean the teeth, the eye...

it's amazing, right?

Yeah, very nice.

Who does your creature work?

OK, that's the best part.

Nobody. It's real. This

is real footage that we got.

There was this guy who...

he wrote me a letter

through my fan mail

and he had this whole theory

that, like,

you know when people

were born deformed or whatever,

like where do they go?

You know,

you don't just see

them walking around, I mean,

unless you had a horror

convention like this.

But, it's, you know...

he says that they've all

retreated underground

and that's where they live.

So, we've been making this

documentary following him...

Whoa... Hold it.

You're reminding me

of the psycho of a guy,

he has a name like Davis Darren?

- Dekker?

- That's it.

Er, Mick, Mick, would you come

over here for a second?

Adam,

Hey, Mick, how are you?

Good to see you.

Adam is working with Dekker,

the monster hunter.

Oh, no.

No, I'm not. I wouldn't say

I'm working with him.

You? He's harassing you, now?

Well, no. We... I talked

to him once about something.

"I found The Marrow."

That guy? Please.

He's been after me,

and Tom, and Carpenter

and Guillermo, Landis...

Every horror director in the

business he's been bothering.

He's antagonized everybody

for years.

Trying to get us

to buy the movie rights

to his stupid story.

He's a real basket case.

Err... Yeah. No.

Totally, I just...

Grasshopper here

has been working with him,

I can tell...

No, no, I wouldn't say

"working with him".

- What are you, stupid?

- No!

I'm sorry, that was rude.

- But are you?

- Uh, I guess sort of, I guess...

Anyway, your creature work

is great

regardless of who's doing it.

- How's your next movie coming?

- Uh, which one?

I don't know. It's what you say.

I'm trying to be nice.
