Tremors II: Aftershocks Page #6

Synopsis: When an army of Graboids - giant, carnivorous underground worms - threaten the Petromaya oil refinery in Mexico, its owners call on Earl Bassett, who once helped kill four of the creatures in Perfection, Nevada. Having squandered the money that came from his resulting celebrity status, Earl is convinced by the $50,000-a-head bounty offered, as well as the enthusiasm of admirer Grady Hoover, who becomes his partner. At Petromaya, Earl and Grady meet geologist Kate Reilly, and begin Graboid hunting, tricking several Graboids into swallowing bomb-rigged, remote-controlled cars. When they find they're facing a lot more Graboids than they ever expected, Earl calls his friend Burt Gummer, a survivalist who arrives well-stocked with weapons.

I'm sorry I got you

all into this.

Come on, Grady.

We ain't dead yet.

Okay! Come on!

Okay, what, what,

what, what, okay?

Uh, I've got a plan!

Sorta.

You're gonna

squirt me with this.

- That's great! CO2...

It'll make you cold.

- Right. They won't see me.

Says who?

No, they're right;

it oughta work.

For how long?

Well, we gotta

try something!

- But what is the point?

- If I can just get to your

truck, I can grab some bombs.

- This is nuts!

- Well, yeah, and...

Let me do it!

It was my idea!

No, I got you all into this.

It's my fault.

I'm going in. Spray me!

We gotta do it

before they break out.

Now, blast me!

Oh, Jesus!

- Yes!

- No! Rock rips through paper.

Huh!

I go! Give me that shirt.

I need the gloves too.

You ready?

Here goes.

Man, this stuff is cold!

Okay, here goes.

Lock this door behind me.

Lock it?

Yeah. I'll get the bombs

and go out the other door.

All right.

Sounds like it's working.

I can't see anything.

Over here.

Here!

Holy tamole!

There's dozens of em.

Good Lord.

Wait a minute!

Paper wraps rock, doesn't it?

Paper always wraps rock.

Damn!

He's startin' to melt!

Earl, you're melting!

Step on it!

Come on! Go, go, go!

Damn! They see him.

Uh... rope!

We need rope or something.

Hang on, Earl!

A hose! There's a hose

down by the fire hydrant.

Here you go.

Ah! It's too short!

Did you hear me?

The hose is too short.

Burt, hurry!

Oh!

- Heads up, Earl!

Grab it! Come on!

Go! Run!

Run! Go!

I set a bomb.

What?

It's the only thing

I could think of.

Kate, what did he do?

Grady?

Come on!

Where the hell are the bombs?

I didn't have time.

I just threw one in your truck.

You what?

That's two-and-a-half tons

of high explosives!

You sayin' that's not enough?

God, Burt! Don't tell me

it's not enough!

Not enough! Never mind.

Never mind. Just run!

Faster!

No, no, no! Keep going.

It's gonna be big.

Big!

Is he serious?

Uh, Burt knows his bombs.

How big can it be?

How long did you set it for?

I don't know;

I just pushed it.

God, it's going to be big.

Big!

All right, this will have to do.

Get down; stay down; cover

your ears. It's gonna be big!

- Is it gonna be today?

- Grady, get your ass down!

Oh!

Hey, Grady. Grady.

Grady, you all right, man?

You okay?

Yeah. Thanks.

Oh!

Watch yourselves.

Whew!

Wow!

Wow!

You know, Grady.

Some people think

I'm overprepared.

Paranoid.

Maybe even

a little crazy.

But they never met any

Precambrian life forms,

did they?

Uh, look, uh...

I don't mind hangin'

around down here for awhile.

Gonna have any free time?

Well, spend a couple days

almost gettin' killed,

you start

thinkin' about your future.

Thinkin' you

should date more?

Well, yeah, actually.

Hey, Earl, I just realized

they owe us for 28 worms, man.

Hey, that's right.

We didn't die.

Although, we did kinda

blow up their refinery.

Hey, that's just

part of the job.

In fact, we oughta charge them

for all those little ones too.

Oh, yeah. We'll have enough

to start our own theme park...

Grady and Earl's

Monster World.

Hey, no way!

Come on, Earl. This could

be like your big, third chance.
