Butter brickle.

- How'd you know that?

- Because it's my favorite flavor too.

- Wow.

- You like my ice cream truck?

- Yeah, I never saw

the insides before.

- You know, it's hard to meet

friends when you're always

stuck on the inside.

- I know, I had to stay inside

a lot when I was little.

Because I was really sick.

That's why I'm so small.

- You know, I was sick

too when I was little.

But I'm better now.

Here you go!

- Wow, I don't think i

have enough money for that.

Hey!

Hey, hey hey!

How long have you been here?

- All night.

The ice cream man, he...

He, he, he killed the park guy!

house, and go through

the backyards to let

you to mine, come on.

hour ago and the whole place

was shut up, dark as a tomb.

- So, I drove by

the bar after I got off,

what of it?

- Oh so now the story changes

bar for four hours?

Mister, shoes on the

porch, you know the rules.

- To hell with you.

- Oh sure that'll solve

everything huh, to hell with me?

walk away from me.

You know Marion, I got

news for you, and I know,

that you're gonna think...

Hey Sam.

Here you go, thanks honey.

- Mom!

- Oh oh excuse me, what do

you think of this color.

I don't know either, I mean

according to my color charts

it should work, but last time

i followed those I ended up

looking like a clown

spotted with cherry syrup.

- Cherry syrup is good, looks

good on you, get a dozen!

Where's the fatty?

- It's okay little fella,

I'm not gonna hurt you.

- What on earth do you

suppose he was running from?

- I don't know.

- Well maybe you should

go in and talk with him,

I'm sure once you do that we

can get to the bottom of this.

By the way, you're not gonna

take this to court are you?

- Chris what happened.

Oh honey I'm here.

Don't worry now come on

tell me what happened.

Chris, unless you tell

me what happened,

mommy can't help you.

- He said he'd kill you if I told.

- What, who said that?

- The ice cream man.

He killed small Paul last night.

- Oh my god, oh honey.

dogs, ice cream man?

bust 'em open, you got it?

- Yes sir.

- Hell I remember getting ice

cream here when I was a kid.

Who was the guy who owned it?

- Brickle, butch brickle.

- Oh yeah the ice cream king.

It's nice to see somebody's

opening the place up again.

Well sounds like we're

missing out on all the fun.

- Oh, that, that, hey, hey!

Could you search a little,

uh, more careful please.

More careful?

Hey uhm...

This is a collectable.

- Jesus, hate to get

my hand caught in that.

- I use it to chop nuts.

- Did you find, did you find anything?

- There's nothing

down here sir.

- Do you realize how long it

takes to make butter brickle?

- Well

ice cream man, we're sorry,

we didn't find anything.

- Are you sorry you didn't

find anything and wrecked my

place, or are you just sorry

you didn't find anything.

house, I'm the one with

the missing dog.

- Whoa, hold it, hold it.
