Kids can't wait for Summer

Mom's can't wait for Fall

I'll go get things opened up.

Jeez, Claudia, it's just a gator.

I swear it just looked at me.

Hey what's happening up here?

You act like you never seen one before.

They're all over the place, come on.

Not one that looked

at me like I'm lunch.

Yeah it's a huge one.

That's what she said?

Ohhh.

(eerie music)

So still no sight of the pod.

Judging by the size of this nest.

This is one really big group of animals.

Or just one really big one.

Come on.

I've seen you before.

Come on.

What do you mean you have no service?

Come on no reception,

you're a satellite phone.

(bushes bristling)

Sh*t.

Sam.

Scared the sh*t out of me.

Not you.

What?

Looks like you were right

about your large gator.

What do you mean?

Some poor girl went and

got herself chomped.

Is she?

Yeah, dead.

That's why I'm here.

Huh.

And did that happen

around here somewhere?

Yep.

Helena.

So who's in charge?

You'll like this guy.

He's just your type.

What is that suppose to mean?

Nothing, he's very professional.

From up north.

Came here to retire.

Okay, so I'm gonna give him a call.

Make sure he doesn't do anything

stupid before I get there.

And then I'm gonna go see him.

You coming?

After you.

Welcome back, Sammy.

(calm piano music)

Hi can you connect me to the

Helena of Sheriff's department?

Sure, I'll hold.

(eerie music)

SAM:
Binoculars?

Yeah.

Okay.

Thanks.

(phone ringing)

Clyde.

Clyde.

Will you get that?

Sheriff's office.

Look, Sheriff Jones

already gave a statement.

Who's this again?

Hey.

Just tell em' no comment.

Says she's from the

Wildlife Ecology Institute.

And?

She's an expert in reptiles.

Oh.

Sorry, an alligator expert.

Okay.

Says she needs to come down

and check out Jamie's remains.

We're not even sure it's Jamie.

It's Jamie, sir.

Tattoo on her ankle.

We still have to go

through all the forensics.

We've got a hell of a lot

of paper to do which I hate

so you just tell this

gal thanks, no thanks.

Yes, sir.

I appreciate your time ma'am but.

Oh.

Okay.

Well I guess we could

use your help then.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, we're on Main Street and.

Oh you'll be here in 30 minutes?

Closer than I thought.

Well thank you Mrs. Gray.

Sorry miss, see you then.

Whatcha lookin' at?

I can swear I just saw.

You're never gonna believe me.

Okay come on try me.

I think I just saw a white gator.

An Albino gator?

God I wish it was an Albino gator.

I mean I just caught

a glimpse of it but.

No, would've been a Crane,

Diamond fur fish, you

see a flash of white,

a splash of water.

You know, I don't know, how

many drinks you had today?

Very funny.

Look,

Albino gators are

incredibly rare.

If there was one in these parts I would

definitely know about it.

You're the expert.

Yes I am.

And I'm off to see the Sheriff.

Hello?

Right.

I'm gonna go start the

reports on the victim.

(door slamming)

What's going on?

Oh she's gonna come down

and check out the remains.

Who is coming down and

why does she need to

check out the remains?

Her name's Brenda Gray.

She's the alligator expert

in the area and she's

contacted whenever a report

of an attack happens.

(scoffing)

Why does she need to

get involved in this?

She says from what she heard

from what CSI brought in,

it's not a gator attack.

Clyde?

I know working in New York

City the past few years

doesn't make me an expert

in homicide by gator.

But if it walks like a duck

and it quacks like a duck

and it leaves a gator

tooth in its victim.

It's just your.

There's something off.

Alright Clyde, well

maybe this gator expert

will give me some hooking.

What's the name again?

Brenda Gray.

Brenda.

Gray.

I think she spells

that E-Y or A-Y.

No, A-Y.

E-Y.

Nice ride, Trav.

Hey, it got us here.

And in so much style.

Oh please.

I thought money things didn't

matter to you, princess.

Where's Jamie?

I called her a dozen times when she

didn't show up to work.

Wait, she didn't show up to work?

It's no big deal, maybe something

happened to her grandma

so we brought Melody, yeah.

She's a model.

Uh, hi, I'm Matt.

Yeah I know.

I come to this town every summer.

Oh, uh.

Dude?

What's the matter with you bro?

You could totally score.

You're a real dick, Travis.

Yeah okay thanks.

Oh by the way,

cells don't work out here.

Oh great.

A little help there, man?

What's the matter?

You coming up?

Cassie and I are gonna go have some

alone time before dinner.

So will you?

Oh, okay.

Let me help you with that.

(country music)

You think I'm

Lookin' over your shoulder

I swear

It happens over and over

Staring at me

Wiggle round and round I look at you

And I want this and

I wanna see what can it

be feeling your heart

Oh wow.

This place is amazing.

Oh thank you, why don't

I give you the tour.

Or maybe not.

Can you give her the tour, Matty?

Matty, give her the tour please.

You give me a tour.

Oh I'm in trouble now.

Hey.

Oh come on, Matty.

I'm sure Jamie's fine.

Besides,

we have the whole summer.

Think he was counting on

his summer starting tonight.

Well, here's to the first day of summer.

It's already been a doozey.

It's so nice to finally be here.

Come on, you've been here before.

Yeah everyone's been

out here at some point.

Hey you remember that huge

party we had right after

we all graduated from college?

Yeah the one where Travis

burned down the kitchen.

Oh Travis I can't

believe your parents let

you back here after that.

Well I paid for the damages and look,

we got a great view of the lake now.

(laughing)

Oh come on, Melody, I am

sure that I've invited

you for some event of debauchery.

Nope.

You know Claudia, you've

always been nice to me but

I wasn't exactly in

this crowd, you know?

Back braces.

Russian grandma chick.

Oh, metal back Melody.

Now I remember.

Oh.

Okay well you look

hot now with all that.

Okay, I think we should

all get unpacking.

I'm hungry.

Let's go eat.

Let's go.

(upbeat guitar music)

[Cassie God this is beautiful.

Yeah it is.

CASSIE:
I have a better idea.

(water splashing)

Alright.

Hey Kim.

Catch.

Oh thanks for helping out, Travis.

Hey I'm routing d*cks.

So why don't you make

yourself useful and

throw me a beer, babe.

Did you just call me babe?

Yeah you got a problem?

Are you serious.

(laughing)

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Big mistake.

Hey.

(water splashing)

Not yet.

Oh yeah?

Playing hard to get?

Not that hard.

(screaming)

TRAVIS:
She's got

a set of lungs now.

John!

A**hole.

TRAVIS:
Ow.

BRUNETTE WOMAN:
John!

CLAUDIA:
What the hell?

John!

TRAVIS:
Cassie and John,

was that screaming?

Got ya.

You ass.

That's not funny.

I was just playing around.

Come here.

John!

Stop it, stop playing around.

(shouting)

John!

(screaming)

(thrilling music)

JASON:
John!

Help!

Cassie!

Somebody help me.

Cassie!

Don't go in the water, don't go in.

Let's take the boat.
