Monster Trucks Page #4

You're interfering

with law enforcement!

The company I'm working for

employs everyone in this town,

and that includes you!

When's the next election,

sheriff?

Go back to writing tickets

and shooing cows off the road.

You really

saved me back there.

Thanks, you big,

ugly, beautiful blob.

My dad only uses this

during hunting season, so...

You said there was oil?

Yeah.

But it's for the generator,

so we won't have electricity.

That's okay. He deserves it.

It's nicer out here.

Yeah, I don't mind.

Are you scared of fire?

Meredith:
I would be, too,

if I drank oil.

Tripp, I'm sorry

about your dad.

It would have been a lousy

place to stay, anyways.

I mean,

how weird would it have been

if he'd turned out

to be a decent guy, right?

What would that

have been like?

You wouldn't be who you are.

And there's no one like you

at our school.

Or in our town.

So,

that's something to

thank your dad for, at least.

God!

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

where are you going?

Hey, hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey. What are you doing?

Hey.

No.

I'm going to get you home.

I promise you that.

Thank you.

I love you, too.

Ready? Watch.

You could teach a mouse

how to do that.

That's not the amazing part.

This is the amazing part.

I didn't teach that one

to do that for the oil.

I taught that one

how to do that for the oil.

They have hive intelligence,

like, um, ants or bees.

When they're in

close proximity,

one of them knows

what the other knows,

almost immediately.

And they metabolize oil

like a combustion engine.

Dowd, what are you doing?

I'm a scientist.

I'm being a scientist.

No.

You are falling in love.

This is some sort of

Stockholm syndrome.

That's backwards.

Whatever.

Okay.

Look, in two days,

our wastewater goes to Ohio.

The mucous twins go with.

Going to shoot it down deep

into an injection well.

No trace.

No. They're not like

mindless ground slugs.

They have intelligence,

they show emotion.

It would be

unethical to kill them.

Unethical?

Dowd, you and I have been

together a long time.

I have seen you

stretch the truth,

falsify environmental

protection reports,

and lie to the media.

We are in this together.

Cheer up.

And keep those things quiet!

Tripp. Tripp!

What are you doing?

He's gone.

Creech!

Why would he leave?

I don't know,

but we better find him

before they do.

Yeah, well, he took off

with my cell phone,

so I can't even call anybody

to come pick us up.

It's okay. I have mine.

Wait, your cell phone's

in the truck?

Yeah.

I have an app.

We can track him.

Meredith:
There he is.

Where is he going?

Tripp:
I don't know.

It's here.

Stop, stop here.

Tripp:
Wait. Terravex?

Are you sure

this is far enough?

Would you mind dropping us off

at the end of the block?

He's not there.

Maybe he went inside.

What is that?

I don't know.

He came here for them.

That's why he left.

No, don't! Don't!

Hey, guys,

check on warehouse three.

Tripp:
No! Stop! Stop!

Man:
Slow it down.

Tranquilize it!

No!

Hey! Stop.

Shoot it!

Stop!

Stop! You're killing him!

Scrape it up.

Bring them with me.

Well, you certainly

love your cats.

It's all cats.

Oh! Here we go.

Delete. Delete. Delete.

Delete.

Thank you.

You can't just delete pictures

and think this goes away.

Why? What are you going to do?

Go to the police and tell them

that there are monsters

coming up out of

the oil fields?

How'd that work out

for you last time?

Look.

Hurting people,

is not my thing.

It's his.

Mr. Burke,

show these two the highway.

Let's go!

To your left.

Okay!

I'll take them from here.

Thanks, Charlie.

Tenneson's orders.

So, it all checks out.

Just keep walking normally.

Get your hands

off us, slimebag.

Okay,

it's not slime, it's sweat.

I sweat when I'm nervous.

Thanks for calling

attention to it. Look.

I'm on your side.

What?

Spiritually.

Okay, I'm messing this up.

Sorry. I'm a scientist,

a geologist.

But I want to help you.

Why?

Because I can't

just stand here

and watch them die.

And why should

we trust you?

Because these creatures

are special.

I think that

you've seen that, too.

Now,

I've done some bad things

for this company. But this...

No way. Okay?

I'm done doing

their dirty work.

Okay, then help us

get them out of here.

We need to get them home.

It's not that simple.

Okay. It's 50 miles

of rough terrain

back to the vent.

Any truck big enough

to carry them

would be too slow

and we'd get caught.

I got a truck fast enough.

We just gotta find two more.

If you think

we can do this, I'm in.

We can.

Okay, hands in.

I'm sorry.

You're just so sweaty.

Mr. weathers,

there's a lot of

really weird stuff

going on right now

and I need your help.

What do you need?

I need trucks.

Do you have any

on your repo list?

It's not our fault rich boy

can't make his payments.

Boy:
Yeah!

Boom!

Show me something! Come on!

Yeah! Keep tagging him!

I don't see anything on this

that will carry

that big sucker

i saw in the warehouse.

What are you gonna need

to do to these trucks?

Well,

lift the engine,

raise the suspension,

cut up the body,

customize the axles,

and maximize the airflow.

All by morning. Twice.

Maybe we'd get

one done, but two?

I don't have

the tools or the parts

to get it done that quick.

Do you know someone

with a repair shop?

Or...

A dealership.

You know, you're

going to have to, like,

hang out with him

and stuff after this.

Maybe once.

You'll be out

by 7:
00, right?

The first workers

get here at 7:
00.

Yeah.

What's the best truck

you got on the lot?

Sam:
Well,

it's supposed to be

my 16th birthday present.

No harm getting

an early peek, right?

Can you handle one of these?

Uh, yeah.

Be careful,

it'll run away from you.

Here you go. Drink up.

We're going on

a little road trip.

Hey, man, you mind

helping me out with this?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Come on, man.

Let's pick it up.

Got to get those things

to the wastewater tank

before they ship out.

What's got into these things?

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Yeah, get Burke

on the phone.

And start a trace

on the box truck.

The big one.

Dowd.

Hey, I got them,

but there's not much time.

Tenneson probably already

has Burke coming for us.

Hey. Nice job.

Thank you.

I never drove a stick before.

It was very exciting.

Cool. Want to give me

a hand with this?

Yeah.

Wow.

Well, I'll be...

Hey, there.

You're looking good.

For you.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah, I missed you.

I missed you, too.

They're a family.

Meredith:
He was looking

for his parents.

I got the truck.

It's stationary.

Load up!

Let's go! We got them!

No turning back now.

All right, this one's yours.

Someone say

I'm coming with you?

Come on, man, we need you.

Okay.

If I'm going to go to prison,

it might as well be in style.

Okay.

The vents are marked on this.

I'll follow you.

Yeah.

You said these guys have

hive intelligence, right?

Yeah.

Well, then he'll know
