The 'Burbs Page #7

- Oh, yeah.

- Try one of these.

- [Sniffing] Oh, yeah, that's better.

- Whoa, whoa.

- No, no, no. Jesus.

[Exhaling] Look at my fingers.

My fingernails are black.

[Gasping, Teeth Sizzling]

- My fillings are hot.

- Hey, look at this.

The man actually hit the

right wire. There's no alarm.

- Hey, good work.

- Congratulations. Now give me five.

- I'm gonna set up a communications base.

- You got it.

- Here, you're gonna need this.

- Here.

Hey, hey, hey, Rumsfield! Dude!

What are you doing with the gun?

Just shut up and paint

your goddam house!

Whoa! Fine.

Task Force One, this is Eagle Eye.

[Walkie-Talkie] You are all clear.

Roger, Eagle Eye. We're going over.

Roger. Red rover, red

rover, let Ray go over.

Good. Now, red rover, red

rover, let Art go on over.

[Chuckles] That's great. Over.

It's really getting hot out here.

Yeah. Yeah, it is getting hot, Art.

Why don't you dig one

of your own holes, huh?

I was just checking this one. Besides,

the radio... I was monitoring...

This is turning out to be a lot more

work than we thought it was gonna be.

Why don't we check the house? It's

probably a lot cooler in there.

That's a good idea. Let's try the house.

We'll start in the basement.

We'll start in the basement

and just work our way up.

[Art] Ray, I'm thinking the reason we

didn't find anything in the backyard...

is because they probably weren't

burying anybody in the backyard.

They were digging bodies up and they

probably buried them in the basement.

[Ray Sighs] That's a possibility, Art.

I say we start in the kitchen. They

probably got some cold beer in there.

Or some knockwurst or

something. I'm starving.

It's locked.

- Hey, give me a credit card.

- Yeah.

- Where did you learn how to do that?

- I don't know how to do this.

Ah, it's a sh*t store anyway.

Ray, do the words "breaking and

entering" mean anything to you?

[Ricky] Hey, Mr Rumsfield! Hey, yo, man!

I wanted to introduce you to my friend.

- This is Steve Kuntz.

- Hey, dude. [Chuckles]

He's here to watch the

show this afternoon.

Great.

[Squeaking]

[Rock Blaring]

[Gail] It's about time, you guys.

Hey, man, when's the big unveiling, huh?

- I gotta go to work in a couple hours.

- Hey, man, piss off!

- Get this lame-o out of

your yard! - [Ricky] Yo!

- Get out of my yard, lame-o!

Hey! - What's his problem?

[Ricky] Get out of my yard!

[Art] Ray, look at the

size of this furnace.

This thing's got to be 80 years old.

These old places have

got to be hell to heat.

This house isn't that big.

What the hell does he need

a furnace like this for?

I think there's been some modifications

on this 'cause this conduit's brand new.

It runs all the way back over there

and up through a hole in the ceiling.

I saw some of that in their living room.

And a thermostat on a home furnace...

Is that supposed to go to

5,000 degrees, do you think?

It must be what all the noise was.

Look at all the stuff they

put together down here.

- They got this place wired with batteries.

- There's got to be 40 of them.

Look, we got power here.

This is no ordinary furnace.

[Furnace Whirring, Rumbling]

- [Whirring, Rumbling Continue]

- [Steve] What's that?

[Ricky] Yo, Rumsfield!

- [Groans, Gun Fires]

- [Car Alarm Blaring]

- [Alarm Continues]

- Awesome!

- [Alarm, Applause Continue]

- Mr Rumsfield, are you okay?

- Yes, yes, I'm all right.

- That was very cool, man.

Art. Art, look.

- Look! I found it!

- That's loose dirt.

They must have burned his

body up in the furnace...

and then buried his bones right here.

What do we do now?

I'll tell him that they

built a crematorium down here.

Don't tell him that. He'll just want to

come down. Wait 'til we find something.

Ray, that could take all night.

[Engine Starts]

Mr Rumsfield, you guys managed to

knock out the power in the entire block.

- [Engine Revving]

- Probably the whole south end of town.

[Softly] Ricky, shut up!

- Shh.

- We're gonna make a run to McD's.

- You want a Quarterpounder or something?

- Oh, no way!

Hey, you guys can't go

now. It's the best part.

- I called the pizza dude.

- All right!

[Art] Ray, I think we can give up.

They'd never bury him this deep.

Who, besides us, would dig this

deep into this kind of sludge?

- [Clank]

- That was metal!

- Hey!

- That was metal! You hit a crypt!

They buried him in a crypt! I'll

get my blowtorch! I'll call it in!

Hello! Hey, uh... Eagle Eye,

this is Ground Force One.

We have found Walter! We found

Walter! I'll be out in a minute!

Dig there! Dig there!

Oh, yes! We found him!

We caught you, Reub.

You've been playing us for

saps, but you were wrong.

[Car Passing]

[Car Doors Open, Close]

[Ricky] Mr Weingartner! Art!

Look! Look over there! Look! Right now!

Go on. Go on. I'll...

[Rumsfield] Walter!

[Walter] Let me go. I'm all right.

[Softly] Ray! Raymond!

Listen up real carefully, mister.

We got a real problem.

Hey, Ray, guess who's not

in the basement? Walter!

He's back! He's back!

Klopeks! With coppers!

Keep 'em busy. Keep

'em busy. I'll get Ray.

- Keep them busy!

- All right, okay, all right!

Stop! Stop right there!

Don't go any further!

You're going! Stop!

Hey, Mr Officer, wait.

There are these people

in my parents' house...

and they're eating all their food!

[Ray Grunting]

- [Coughing]

- Ray, Walter showed up!

- The Klopeks! I got Ricky down there...

- I hit the gas line! Run!

- Gas!

- Run!

- What is the problem here?

- [Werner] Thank God you're here.

- No problem, sir.

- This is not a police matter.

[Art Screaming] We hit a

pipe! There's all kinds of gas!

It's gonna blow!

- All right!

- Ricky sure knows how to throw a party.

[Art Coughing]

Was that your house?

Ray.

Something is moving in there.

Ray... Ray, you found it, right?

Before it blew, you found it, right?

Hey, tell me you found

it. You found it, right?

Before everything went off,

you had to have found it.

[Siren Blaring]

You got a lawsuit on your hands, mister.

Oh, God, what's this?

[Crowd Chattering, Radio Transmissions]

[Officer Over P.A. System]

Your attention, please.

Please stay behind the barricade.

[Helicopter Passing Overhead]

- [All Chattering]

- You want to step back, please?

- That's my house.

- Sorry, I've got to get the all clear from the gas company.

- I can clear this. She lives here.

- Did I ask you?

Miss, you wanna come back here, please?

Excuse me, pal. Maybe I didn't

make myself clear enough.

[Ricky] Hey!

- Oh, honey, what have they done to you?

- You cut your hair.

I like it.

[Art] I'm telling you, Officer,

there's a body buried in that house.

- Mr Seznick, right?

- Yeah, the old guy who's sitting here...

- is buried in that house, Sherlock.

- Watch it.

Where was he anyway?

Mr Seznick was at the hospital

'til 8:
00 this evening.

Monday night he had

some heart palpitations.

He called his daughter and son-in-law,

and they took him to the hospital.
