I'll make it right.

You know-- you know.

You know, obviously,

that I will make it right.

Chet?

CHET:

Want my advice, Kellerman?

Yes.

Yes, Chet, please, thank you,

I would love it.

[CHUCKLES]

CHET:

Do not f*** around

with these guys,

do you understand?

They're dangerous people.

And don't bring me

into this anymore, got it?

Got it? Do not f*** around

with these guys, Kellerman.

Yeah.

CHET:
Do you understand me?

Sure, yes.

CHET:
They're dangerous people,

this isn't fun and games.

Yeah, Chet.

CHET:

And do not bring me

into this again.

Sorry.

I-I'll see you Monday.

[CLOCK CONTINUES TICKING]

[MUFFLED]

F***.

F***.

[RECORD SCRATCHES]

["OPTICAL SOUND" BY

THE HUMAN EXPRESSION PLAYING]

As the light

Of the sunrise nears

I hate to think

What went on in here

Reassemble

My shattered mind

Before the eyes

Of another kind

Alternatives I found

But they just

Can't be found...

Can we please just have

a conversation like adults?

Create an optical sound

[DOOR OPENS]

GEORGE:
Listen...

Hi.

[SLASHES]

[BOTH SCREAMING]

[FAINT APPLAUSE OVERLAPPING]

["OPTICAL SOUND"

CONTINUES PLAYING]

NARRATOR:

In the hurricane wind

of violence and terror,

some evil kept hidden

longer than others.

Went unnoticed, at first.

What happened next...

heh, not even

Starkweather himself

could have prophesized.

[SIREN BLARES]

OFFICER:

You hear anything,

you give me a call, okay?

This is my direct line.

It's gonna go right to me.

I promise I'll answer it

if it's you.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Thank you.

You have a nice night, miss.

You, too.

[DOOR CREAKS]

[PHONE BUZZES]

What?

WOMAN [OVER PHONE]: It's me.

There's a problem

and I need you

to come here right now.

What kind of problem?

WOMAN:

Bad enough

that I'm calling you.

Does Ron know?

I wanted to call you first.

Hurry up and get over here.

Well, how bad?

F***ing bad. It's bad.

It's really f***ing bad.

It's really f***ing bad.

All right, I'm on my way.

[]

OFFICER [YELLS]:

F***!

OFFICER:

What did he say?

Nothing.

[SCOFFS]

Now, why is it I find that

so f***ing hard to believe?

Uh, I don't know

what you were expecting.

I didn't really have time

to ask him

when he was killing everyone.

Jesus Christ, at least

I managed to shoot him.

[GUNSHOT]

[BODY THUDS]

Don't take that tone with me.

Oh, sorry.

It's okay.

But, you know, Ron?

He's gonna tear

your ass apart for this.

He's going to tear

my ass apart?

Why would he tear

my ass apart?

Well, maybe you better

start explaining

what the f***

happened here tonight!

[YELLING]

What the f*** is this!

Okay, nothing was different,

nothing at all.

Mood was even higher

than normal, actually,

and then all of a sudden--

what are you doing?

None of your f***ing business.

Where did you get

the piece, anyway?

Found it under the bed,

someone left it.

Why?

Give it here.

What?

Gimme the gun.

Why?

Because I don't

want you going--

What else

was I supposed to do?

--"Little Orphan Annie"

on anybody else tonight!

Give me the f***ing gun.

The f*** you talking about?

No, I'm not going

to give it to you.

Give me the gun.

I'm a f***ing police officer.

Give it to me!

[IN NORMAL VOICE]

I'm a f***ing police officer.

I meant Annie Oakley.

Okay.

The gun slinger.

Uh-huh.

What have you

got here, big boy?

Looky, looky, looky.

My little fortune cookie.

We call this a clue.

Looks like this one

came here looking for that one.

WOMAN:

Her?

I'm no expert, but, uh--

Oh, no, wait,

I am a f***ing expert.

WOMAN:

But why?

Jesus Christ, why?

That's the million yen question,

my little china doll.

WOMAN:
Yen is Japanese.

[FLY BUZZES DISTORTEDLY]

Who's the girl?

WOMAN:
She's just some hooker.

[BUZZING INCREASES]

What the f*** are

you doing with your ear?

W-What's wrong?

I got a bug--

I think a bug

flew into my ear yesterday.

And he's still in there.

And every time he moves,

it's f***ing weird.

Ew.

CHILDREN OF THE MUSHROOM PLAYS]

Doll face?

Yeah?

OFFICER:

Get one of the girls.

Tell her to take my cruiser,

and back it up to

the front door, okay?

Mm-hm.

Trunk first.

And I want you to call Ron.

Tell him don't worry.

I'm gonna get to the

bottom of this, okay?

Uh-huh.

Run along now.

Seeing chances go by...

Oh...

Aw, woo!

It's alive! It's alive!

[MUFFLED GROAN]

You know, a couple

of years back,

a few guys come running

into Ralph Conway's place,

it's the younger Ralph,

Ralphie.

And they're screaming,

"Everybody's dead!

He killed everybody!"

All right, all right, hold on.

Whoa, what the f***

are you talking about?

"A g-g-g-ghost,

in a Samurai mask!

"He killed everybody!

"And then he just

v-v-vanished,

quick as he came."

I always thought it was pride

that made them

stick to that story.

Right up to the end.
