(SOBS) Oh, go away. Oh, God, help.

Help me. Somebody, help me.

Shut up!

BART:
I know what you're thinking.

Did he fire six shots or only five?

Well, to tell you the truth,

in all this excitement

I've kinda lost track myself.

But seeing as this is a .44 Magnum,

the the most powerful hand gun

in the world,

would blow your head clean off...

(GUNSHOT)

Oh! Ohh!

Oh, you can't...

(GUNSHOT)

(BART COUGHS)

That's not a .44 Magnum.

(SIGHS)

(HOARSELY) So you've got to

ask yourself a question,

Do I feel lucky?

Well, do ya...punk?

F*** you.

Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

How can I ever thank you? (GASPS)

BART:
Well...

Oh, my God, dude.

Holy God. This looks fun.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

(SNIFFS)

Oh, fu...

It smells like pure gasoline.

Are you kidding me?

Oi. What did you say,

and need to be subdued

and prosecuted

before they can strike again.

Will you help the cops

with their investigation?

MARTY KIM:
Why do they

need to be prosecuted?

They saved my life.

How can you explain the fact

that the victims have been found

with all the blood drained

from their bodies?

What blood? I don't see any blood.
