doesn't mean you get to act like a pig.

You know, honey, really...

you shouldn't go

from the breast to the bottle.

At her age, she should

get used to one or the other.

Mom, thanks for the advice,

but she's my baby.

I can't believe that we're stranded

in the middle of nowhere on your anniversary.

- Hmm.

- You know, if we just stayed on the main road...

we'd be in California right now.

What I'd give for a hot shower

and a cold margarita.

- The beach.

- A massage.

- I'll take a real bed.

- Yeah.

- The chronic.

- The what?

Brenda!

[Laughing]

What?

The chronic.

It's pot, Mom.

- [Bobby] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who smokes pot?

- Yes, exactly.

- Who smokes pot?

- Hey, has anybody seen my red sweatshirt?

You know, the hoodie thing

in the backseat? Brenda?

- Weren't you sleeping on it?

- I haven't touched your smelly sweatshirt, okay?

- [Barking]

- [Brenda] Why are the dogs so excited?

- There's probably some

rattlesnakes somewhere around.

- Ew.

You know how Freud would have interpreted

your obsession with rattlesnakes, Mom?

Bobby!

So bad.

- [Mom] Bobby Carter! Stop that!

- That's gross!

- That's so wrong.

- That was a little gross. I'm sorry.

- I apologize to the entire table.

- [Lynn] Well, thank you.

I'm really glad that

we all came on this trip together.

Ah, well, that makes one of us.

- Where is the, uh, fruit?

- Does anyone need anything?

- No.

- [Barking]

- Hey. Hey. Brenda!

- Wonderful.

- Are you kidding me? Do you know how long-

- Bobby.

- Bobby?

- Sorry.

Bobby, it's dinnertime.

[Groans]

- I'll get him, Mom. Bobby!

- This always happens.

- Bobby, I don't want you going

away from the trailer right now.

Hey, uh, I had a bit of a wreck

out on your, uh, shortcut.

Yo!

I grabbed some water, all right?

Uh-

- ##[Continues]

- It's dead. Damn it.

Yo, my friend! Hey!

You here?

You home?

## [Continues Faintly]

Hello?

Hello?

Weird son of a b*tch.

- [Keys Jangle]

- Yeah.

[Engine Not Turning Over]

[Gas Station Man]

Jupiter!

[Whimpering]

I got buckshot, ya hear?

- [C*cks Gun]

- Hey, mister.

[Crying]

You don't understand

what's going on here.

Hey!

The kids...

grew up in the mines

like wild animals.

Open the door, slowly!

What kind of place

is that for children?

What kind of a place is that?

Okay. Put the weapon down.

Put it down, easy. Put it down.

[Sets Bottle Down]

I did the best I could.

I'm sorry.

Hey!

[Man]

Daddy.

Daddy.

Daddy.

Daddy. Daddy.

Daddy. Oh, Daddy.

Daddy. Daddy.

[Moaning]

[Man]

Would you give me that gun, Pluto!

- [Lizard] Give me the gosh darn gun!

- Get on over here!

That's right. Come on.

You oughtn't have a gun.

[Grunting]

[Pluto Chuckling]

[Beast Barking]

[Mom]

Brenda?

Brenda!

Hey, I'm here!

I'll be back in a minute!

Bobby!

Bobby!

Bobby!

Bobby!

## [Humming Softly]

- Bobby!

- [Gasps]

Okay, let me just-

Oh, honey, the hair.

[Groans]

It's just-

You know, you really are so lucky

that Brenda found you.

I mean, what if you'd had to spend

the whole night out there in the cold?

Hey, Bobby. Don't worry. Beauty will

come back when she's hungry, okay?

- Did you- Did you try the radio?

- It doesn't work.

But we heard something.

Some sort of breathing.

What breathing?

It was weird.

Right, Mom? I-

I'm sure it was just static.

Mom! It sounded like

a perverted call.

Only Mom would get

an obscene phone call out here.

- [Barking]

- Bobby! What-

- Honey?

- No, no, no, no! I want you guys to stay here.

[Opens Door]

What is wrong with him?

What's he doing?

Sh*t.

[Beast Barking]

Beast! Beast!

- Hey, Bobby.

- Jesus Christ!

Hey! Whoa, whoa!

Stop pointing the gun at me! Please!

- Jesus, Bobby!

- Doug, I'm sorry, man.

It's me! You okay?

- Yeah.

- God!

- Didn't mean to startle you, man.

- Yeah, I know. I just-

Look, I found this place out here.

You wouldn't believe it. It's like the Twilight Zone.

- Hey.

- [Mom] Is that Bob?

- [Lynn] It's Doug. It's okay.

- Ta-da!

Honey! Oh, my God! Thank God you're okay.

I was so worried about you.

- No, I'm fine. Just exhausted. Look.

- Yeah.

Look at all this stuff

I found.

There's a huge crater out there.

People must use it as a dump site.

I've never seen anything like it in my life.

- What are-

- Look at this stuff. It's brand new.

What are we gonna do with

a fishing pole in the desert?

- I thought you went to go find somebody.

- Road dead-ends in five miles.

That's where the crater is.

It's not a shortcut. It's just desert.

- It dead-ends?

- Dead end.

- I knew that old man was full of sh*t.

- Hope your dad did better.

[Mom]

Maybe we just missed a turn.

- Honey, did you guys cook

any dinner? I'm starving.

- Yeah. Come on inside.

- Great. Thanks. Brenda?

- Yeah?

Do you have that lip balm?

My lips are really dry.

Are you serious? That's gross.

I'm not letting you use my lip balm.

Do you use it

without telling me?

[Whimpering]

[All Chattering]

Wait. Bobby. Don't close that door.

We're leaving in a second.

- What?

- Get some rest for Daddy.

You guys aren't gonna wait

till Dad gets back?

No, Bobby, I'm exhausted.

I need to get some sleep.

No, no, no. It's fine.

You'll be more comfortable here.

I'll sleep on the floor, and Mom and Brenda

are gonna be up front.

And you and Lynn can take the back.

We got extra sleeping bags.

Bobby, you got six people sleeping

in a three-person trailer.

It's not comfortable.

It's a little bit weird. Okay?

- Honey, you gonna bring the water?

- [Lynn] Yeah.

- Hey, hey, hey. Doug, Doug. Can I talk to you?

- What's up?

- Baby, you coming?

- I'm almost ready.

- See, uh-

- What's going on?

- Uh, when I- [Chuckles]

- Bobby.

- No, no, no, no. It's-

- Bobby, hey.

I'm sure your dad's gonna

be back soon. Okay?

I mean, come on.

He's Big Bob, all right?

I'm sure it's gonna take more than snakes

and scorpions in the night to stop him.

- Okay?

- [Lynn] Excuse me.

- Sorry.

- Did you get pillows?

They're in the S.U.V.

Hey, hey, listen.

If he's not back by midnight,

we'll both go looking for him. Deal?

- Yeah. Deal.

- Okay.

- Get some rest, man.

- Good night, Bobby.

Good night.

What are you doing?

There's no mosquitoes in the desert.

Honey, there's

mosquitoes everywhere.

Hi.
