That's all Theresa.

Those, uh, hamburger steaks

that we had tonight,

do you think you'd be willing

to do some trading?

Dry foods have been getting

a little bit old,

and I've got bullets,

tools, gas.

How about if I just

give you some?

If you can guess what it is.

Um... beef?

Now when was the last time

you saw a cow?

That's a good point. Um...

Uh, venison?

Mark, when was the last time

you saw a cow, a deer,

a dog, bird?

Hell, they all died out

before we started to.

It was...

It was meat, right?

I mean, it wasn't

a veggie burger

or a bean patty,

or, I don't know,

some vegan sh*t.

No.

No.

Not bad, right?

I mean, a little gamey,

but tender.

You okay?

I ate a f***ing person?

-We all did.

-Jesus Christ.

Come on, Mark.

The Darwin Awards, we made it.

We didn't drink the government

Kool-Aid.

We escaped the race wars,

toxins didn't do jack sh*t

to our immune systems.

When they hit

the reset button

and we said f*** you.

Now I think that allows us

a little freedom.

- Good people

didn't survive, Mark.

We did.

If you tell Nina what we ate,

I will kill you.

Keeping secrets from your wife?

Not the healthiest choice

in a marriage.

-I assume you tell your wife

everything.

-I do.

Then you're a f***ing liar.

We're leaving. Nina!

Whoa. Wait, calm down.

Now, listen.

Let me tell you

what's gonna happen.

You and Nina will stay

and continue to have

a wonderful time.

And if you don't,

I will bleed you both out

like pigs,

and feed you to my wife

and children. You understand?

Or maybe just you?

Seems to me Nina

would be better off.

One a day,

keeps the blues away.

Is everything all right here?

I was just about to mix up

a couple of cocktails

for Mark and me.

You ladies want one?

I make a killer Old Fashioned.

I'm okay.

Yeah, I'm good.

So who wants

to play a board game?

How about Monopoly?

Bella!

Bella! Bella!

Oh, my God!

Didn't expect to see me again,

did you?

Should've finished the job.

It's okay.

Mommy's here.

You're gonna be okay, baby.

Please don't hurt her.

Now, what do you want?

Anything.

Just don't hurt my--

Him.

And her.

They're yours.

Just give me my daughter.

Daddy.

It's okay. Mommy's here.

Do what you gotta do.

Just give me my daughter back.

Just give me my daughter back.

Okay.

Go!

Theresa!

Sh*t.

Grab your stuff.

Grab your stuff.

-What about Bella?

-We gotta go.

You okay? Are you hurt?

Nina?

I can't do this anymore.

What? Do what?

Play this delusional game

of survival with you.

Delusional? You wanna talk

about delusional?

Who are you talking to

on that radio, Nina?

I want to get home

to my parents.

You know what?

That's your problem.

If you had just played along

in any of this

instead of running home

to Mommy and Daddy,

you would have realized,

you know what,

it's not that bad.

Not that bad?

Look around!

Sh*t, Nina!

Stay with me.

Just stay with me,

stay with me. Nina. Nina!

F***!

Goddamn it! Sh*t!

Jim, you copy? Over.

Jim, you copy?

Nathan. How's dinner?

Theresa and Bella are dead.

Oh, sh*t.

What happened?

You remember those friends of

mine I introduced you to today?

How could I forget?

What if I told you,

you could have the girl?

Hell, yeah.

Sh*t on a f***ing shingle.

Oh, my God!

She's a Cherry.

I think she's a Cherry.

Can we go?

Hi, this is Crazy Al

with another safety update

for all you domestics

out there.

Gambler territory

is now spreading

like a f***ing cancer,

so keep your loved ones close, stay indoors,

because if those horned

sons-of-b*tches catch you

and spin that wheel of death,

- chances are they're gonna

send you straight to hell!

Now, here's Rickie Paige

and her never released

1959 track,Forever.

Forever

Yes, I wait forever

Darling, I will never

Love somebody new

Believe me

When I say I'm sorry

Darling, please forgive me

Give me one more chance

Since you went away

The tears are falling

Just like summer rain

Can't you see my heart

Is slowly breaking

Please come back

And ease the pain

Forever

Yes, I'll wait forever

Darling, I would never

Yes!

Love somebody new

Holy f***.

Now where do I get

one of those?

Right there!

It would be such a shame

to splatter your brains

before all the fun and games.

Will you kindly place that gun

on the ottoman there?

Mmm-hmm.

You can do it.

So handsome.

Let me out of here!

Let me out

of the f***ing truck!

Let me out of here.

Let me out of here, you...

Is that all you got?

F***!

You know

these two poor souls?

Yes.

Seems that they were

following you. Why?

Why what?

Why were they following you?

Why were you following me?

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is William Cunningham,

but you, my new friend,

have the divine pleasure

of calling me Willy.

Oh, that's fantastic.

There are two things

that Willy loves.

A show, and a bit

of the ultra-violence.

That's very original.

-You know it?

-It was my favorite film

when I was 17.

Not anymore?

A shame.

Surprised me though.

You're the first person

to ever call me out on it.

These f***ing simpletons

out here are clueless

when it comes

to classic cinema.

Could you believe this one,

he'd never even heard of

Eyes Without a Face.

But, uh...

I was getting ready to...

...teach him all about it.

What do you want?

Ooh! Ah!

A man who likes to get

right down to the nitty-gritty.

I like it.

I'm pretty tired, man.

Can you just get

to the f***ing point?

Meet Bill.

I, uh, call him "The Big."

Now, you and The Big...

Come on, Big.

You're gonna get to know

each other a little bit.

Unless, of course, you wanna

finish the job that I started

on these two poor bastards,

with me watching, of course.

That allows you to leave

with your findings

and your good looks.

What do you say?

You wanna go Big,

or you wanna go home?

This is f***ing bullshit.

Now that's freedom.

Feel it in your f***ing veins.

Argh!

Feel the electricity.

Come on, explore the fear.

That's right, experience life,

you motherfucking cocksuckers.

Goddamn it!

F***ing cow!

You're different

than the rest of us.

Make sure she understands that.

Come on.

Target practice?

Yeah. I, um...

I found a scope down

in the cellar. I'm trying

to see if I can make it work.

Can I try?

Okay.

Thanks.

It's, uh, not bad.

-Can I just show you one thing?

-Mmm-hmm.

Okay.

Square up.

Okay. Now, step...

Lean into your front foot.

-Okay.

-There you go.

And relax.

Now, when you pick out

a target, you wanna pick

something small.

So, let's say, the zipper,

and then when you pull

on the trigger...

Don't pull just squeeze.

Nice and easy.

Okay. That was really good.

Felt good.

I didn't think I'd like it.

Yeah? A little change of heart?

Just trying to play along.

Are you gonna ask me

about the suitcase?

No.

I wanna show you something.

We're almost there.

We should go.

It'll only take a second.

This is it, right?

Wow.

Well?

This is it.

I mean, my seats were black,

but I kind of like
