Tremors II: Aftershocks Page #2

They stay about 20 miles north.

That's where the workers

were killed.

Who named them

graboids, anyway?

A... friend of ours,

Walter Chang.

He named them,

then they ate him.

Hey, guys,

look what I made.

Just, you know,

drag it behind the truck.

Make, you know,

make more noise.

You see, uh,

graboids hunt by sound.

I'll probably just go hook that

to the back of the truck.

"Moonstros."

Ah, s.

Mr. Hoover, come here please.

I have the monitor working.

Okay.

We've set up radio seismographs

all over, so the monitor will

show you where the graboids are.

Cool.

You know, this is none of my

business, I guess, but you guys

are going out there alone?

You don't want to take with you

the whole army of Mexico?

Let me explain, Julio.

Graboids, they got no eyes.

They hunt by sound.

You make a noise;

They're gonna come after you.

If we get a bunch of people

runnin' around...

Graboids gonna spread out

all over the place. No,

we want 'em all to come to us.

So you guys are what?

You guys are the bait?

That's the plan.

Okay, so, uh...

That's us.

That's our truck.

Seems like everything's

workin' okay.

Well, sure it is, Earl.

This is a high-tech,

professional operation here.

Hey, we got a good plan goin'.

Fifty thousand apiece, baby.

Ho! You know, me,

I'm gonna get mine all at once,

just stacked!

Well, if I make any money

this time, I'll invest it...

conservatively.

Hey, you shaved.

What?

No, I just... I just noticed

you... you know, shaved.

So what?

A man can shave, can't he?

No, you're right.

She's a babe.

Well,

here's where they're

supposed to be.

Man, look at that

country, huh?

Yeah. Not a lot of rocks

and boulders out there.

Not much to climb on if we

don't want to get slurped.

There's mountains around.

You said they can't

get through mountains.

I said they can't

go through rock.

These hills are alluvial.

Oh, "alluvial."

Wait a minute, that's the little

dingleberry in the back

of your throat, right?

You want to hunt graboids;

you better know geology.

Here, you drive. I'm keepin'

my eye on this... seismo-jigger.

Oh, good call.

No offence, Earl, but you're

nervous as a chihuahua.

I'm not nervous.

I'm alert.

Whatever.

Those worms have to be deaf

if they don't hear us.

Hey, take it easy, huh?

Jesus, Grady.

We got one!

- It's spotted us!

It's comin' right toward us!

- Well, that's the idea.

Doesn't mean I have to like it.

Now stop. Stop already!

Okay, time

for the secret weapon.

Careful with that detonator.

Set it like I showed you.

- How dumb do you think I am?

- Catch me later on that one.

- He's comin' in.

I think he's followin' it.

Of course he is.

I can't see it, Earl.

Earl, I can't see it!

Left. Left.

Left!

- Okay, okay.

- Wait. Wait, there.

He did it. He took it.

O-Okay. Hit it! Get him!

Oh, sh*t.

Earl, what are you doin'?

Hit it, hit it!

Hit it!

Hit it, Earl!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

50 Gs, baby, 50 Gs!

Oh, sh*t!

Told ya.

I forgot.

Yeah!

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Man, this stuff

really stinks.

Yeah, don't forget

to get that antenna too.

Uno de los mejores xitos

de Travis Tritt.

Vamos a continuar con una media hora

de msica sin interrupcin.

You left the radio

on the ground?

Sorry, I forgot.

Is that a coyote?

Yep.

Man, he better keep quiet.

Yep.

He took it.

Hey, it's my turn.

Oh, c-come on, Earl.

Let me get one more.

Sh*t.

Rock breaks scissors.

I win.

It does?

I told you one stick

would be enough.

You're right.

That makes $300,000.

Apiece.

I'm feelin'

light-headed, Earl.

And whatcha gonna do

with all your money?

Invest it.

Well, yeah, of course,

invest it, but...

Even at five percent,

I'll be doin' pretty good.

Five percent?

You're talkin', um, mutual funds

or C.D. S or somethin', huh?

That's right.

That's small, Earl.

You're thinkin' small.

See, I'm thinkin'

big, okay?

I'm thinkin' theme park.

Now, now.

"Grady Hoover's World

of Natural Wonders."

Whoa! Or, you know,

maybe somethin' simple,

like "Monster World,"

or "Monsterland"...

or "Worm World."

How 'bout "Looney World"?

Seems to fit.

Get off the ground!

It's vision, Earl.

Vision is what separates

the average...

I know that song.

Jesus! Get off the ground,

Grady! Get off the ground!

Whoa!

Jesus, man,

those things are huge!

Shh! Be quiet!

Did you see that mouth?

Oh, no.

It snagged the chain.

Can it do that?

It can't be that strong.

Son of a b*tch!

- Hit the brakes!

- I am! I did!

It doesn't work!

Earl!

What do I do?

- I don't know.

Do anything!

- Ooh!

- Cliff!

- Oh, no.

He stopped. He stopped.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, come on.

Rock!

Rock!

He's going under it!

Turn! Turn the wheel!

- Turn!

- I'm trying; I'm trying!

Oh, God, oh, God!

Yee-ha!

All right.

You all right?

Wow, chain broke

right off.

Jesus, we're lucky.

Well, truck seems

to be all right.

Earl, that's gonna be the first

ride in my theme park.

Doesn't anything

ever get you down?

Well, I'm blessed

with a sunny disposition.

Most people

seem to like it.

Oh, yeah? What does this

do for your disposition?

I think we're gonna

need some help.

Help? Who'd be crazy enough

to help us with this mess?

The big guns pounded enemy

positions for 72 straight hours.

It was the deadliest

bombardment of the siege.

Yeah?

Hey, Burt, it's Earl.

How ya doin'?

Listen, um,

If this sounds kinda funny, it's

'cause I'm on a radio phone.

It's the only way we

can call out of this place.

Earl? Oh... Earl.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Well, I haven't seen you.

Guess you've been layin'

kinda low, huh?

Layin' low?

No. Negative.

I've been real busy...

lots of projects.

So, uh, how

you and Heather doing?

Well, she, uh...

She's still visiting her sister.

Yeah?

You know, she actually...

blames our problems on the

collapse of the Soviet Union?

Well, you did take that

kinda hard, Burt.

Said I was hard to live with.

Said I couldn't handle life

without the threat of war.

What kind of thing

is that to say to a man?

Well, I don't know, Burt...

Anyway, it takes more

than that to get me down.

I been running around so much,

it's lucky you caught me home.

Well, in that case, I don't know

if you'd be interested in this.

I'm down in Mexico,

see, and I find myself

in a sort of situation.

What kind of situation?

A graboid

kind of situation.

Hey, you keepin'

an eye on that monitor?

Uh, yeah, I'm watchin' it.

They're just stayin' up north.

- Oh, my God!

What?

Sorry. Come here.

Come here. Look at this.

I've been staring

at this fossil for over a month,

and I just realized what it is.

Hey, Earl, that looks like one

of those spikes on their sides.

Okay, it resembles one.

I really think it is

a fossil fragment of a graboid.

It's gonna take

months to prove...

No, this is important,

isn't it?

Science has never

determined their origin.

I read that in People.

And that's true. But that's not

the only thing. You guys,

this is Precambrian rock.
