" Clarence, they're here." "I'll be there in a minute!" "Clarence!" "I hear ya!" " Clarence, they're waiting!" " I'm coming, I'm coming." "Clarence, could it be him?" " No, it's probably just those punks who broke into Tivet's house last Halloween." "What do you want?" "I want the skull!" " I don't know where it is." "It's not here." "Give me the skull." "No!" " Wow." "I don't believe it." " Oh, it's big, isn't it?" " Yep." "It's definitely not built to code." "How many generations of your family lived here?" "I don't know." " Who decorated this place?" " Wow." "Looks like something's missing." " Great." "I thought the electricity was supposed to be on, Jesse." " Yeah, it is." "The switch must be out." " Is there a phone in here?" "Great." "John Statmen, please." "Hello?" " John, hi!" "It's Kate." "Hey." " Sorry I couldn't call you earlier." "The car phone doesn't work out here." "What's the house like?" " Well, it's a pit, but Jesse's completely in love with it, of course." "How'd the meeting go?" "Is he interested?" "No?" "Great, you know, we could have had him recording in the studio by early next month." "Well, I don't know." "We've gotta find somebody fast." "Did you go see that new band down at the Midas Club?" "Yeah, they've kinda got a raw energy, don't you think?" "You're absolutely right." "Hey, did you get that letter from..." "I don't believe it." "Well, they really need someone..." "That's my mom and dad." "I was pretty cute." "That was my grandfather." "So he must've been my great-great-grandfather." "Jesse McLaughlin." "They named me after him." "Oh!" "Ooh." " What on Earth where you doing?" " I couldn't sleep, so I went downstairs to just look around." " What is that?" " I hate when you say that..." " You did!" " But I don't do it!" " Oh, my God." " Quit it!" " Oh, oh." "♫ Da, da, da, da" "♫ Happy Birthday to you" "Oh, hey." "You didn't have to do this." "Sure, I did!" "You're the only person I know who's ever been famous, eh?" " Hardly famous, Char." "Nobody reads this magazine." " Oh, well, you know, I mean, I have to admit" "I don't look at the pictures," "I only read it for the interviews." " What?" "No you don't!" " Hey, look at this couch." "Nice and comfortable, huh, Lana?" " Right, right, right there." "Perfect." " Here?" " Yeah, yeah." " What...?" "Can you hold on for just a second?" "♫ I never knew till we were face to face" "♫ That I'd be taken up to hyperspace" "♫ It seems so strange, seems so strange" "♫ I only touch you" "♫ And then you move right through ♫" " Excuse me." " Oh, hi, Kate!" "Hey!" "Music too loud?" "Didn't mean to bother you, really." " What, what is this you're playing?" "Who is this?" "That's PuceGlitz and the Avoiders!" " "Puce Glitz"?" " Yeah, that's my stage name." "This is you?" " Yeah, and I'm her manager." "Uh, Kate, I feel compelled to tell you we are weighing several offers from some big producers, but to drop names would be tacky." " But you don't have a contract yet?" "I mean you haven't signed anything yet, have you?" " Have you?" " Oh, no!" "We don't believe in success." " Yeah, we wanna make a lot of money and be real famous, but no success." " No, there's a very subtle difference, you know." " John, I've gotta get back to you." "I think I may have found what we're looking for." "♫ Sweet sensation, ow" "♫ Sweet vibration ♫" " Huh, they're different." "This one's got jewels in its eyes." "They're not the same skull." " Hey, Jess, whatcha doin' there, huh?" " Come on, Charlie, give it." "It's private." " Hey, this is cool." "Looks like it's old." "What is it?" " Come on, Charlie, give it." " No, no, no, not until you tell me what it is." " It's nothing." "Promise you won't laugh?" " Yeah." " You'll never believe me anyway." " Sure, I will." "Here, okay, here, take it." " All right, see this guy?" "It's my great-great-grandfather." "He has the same name as me." "He was an outlaw in the Old West." " I'll buy that." " Yeah, look at this skull he's holding." "It's made completely out of raw crystal and this guy in the background, this is Jesse's partner Slim Razor." "Uh-oh." "Now, he and Jesse had a falling out over the skull and became bitter enemies." "Slim died without ever getting the skull from Jesse." "All right, now, look at this." "You see this skull?" "Now, it's different from the one here on the book, right?" "I mean, this one has got jewels in the eyes." "Wait, wait a minute." " But listen to this." "Okay, um, all right." ""Legend has it that there was a second skull" ""that had untold powers that could unlock the mysteries" ""of the universe and bring eternal life" ""to those who possessed it."" "So the question is:" "if this is the legendary second skull, where is it?" " Why you askin' me?" "I mean how am I supposed to know?" " Charlie, Charlie, there's an old cemetery up on the hill." "Jesse was buried there in 1916." "Now look here." "It says that when the Aztecs buried their dead, they wrapped the bodies in several layers of cloth and they surrounded them with their weapons and jewels." " It was worth millions?" "Was it... a lot?" " Yeah." " I say let's go for it." "There's nothin' down here." "Let's quit." "I don't care if all the money in the world is down here," "I just want some sleep." "I'm really tired." " Charlie." " Huh?" " We got it." " Oh, no." "No." "Got it, Charlie?" " Yeah." "I give up." "I can't lift another thing up." "Please, let me die." "Please, let me die." " Charlie." " Jess, Jess, what?" "Come on, I don't have time for this, Jess." "What's in there?" " Charlie." "Help me, you idiot." " Jesse!" "It's me." "I'm your great-great-grandson." "Huh?" " They named me after you." "My name is Jesse too." " My great-great-grandson?" "What year is it?" " I don't know." " Now don't you mess with me, boy." " 1986!" " October 30th." " October 30th, 1986!" " Well." "God damn!" "You know, I've been waitin' over 70 years for some jackass to get the sense to come dig me up." "Thank you, boy." "Well, there she is." "There's somethin' special about this old house." "Can't you feel it?" "I can." " Hey, come on." "Let's go this way." "Where you going?" "There." "Remember, boys, this house is a temple, as fantastic as any pyramid or castle you'll ever see." "It don't know time or space or any of that hogwash, but the forces of evil are always after this skull and you gotta help me to protect it." "So don't let no one touch the dang thing, you hear?" "Here, you can sleep on this." " Is this the way you treat family?" "Makin' 'em hide down in the basement like some slimy ol' lizard?" " Well, I'm sorry, I must be out of practice." "I don't have any family, sir." " Don't call me "sir."" "I ain't no politician." "Heck, I'm your great-great-grandfather." "You can call me "Gramps."" "That's what your granddaddy used to call me." " All right, Gramps." "Well, we better hit the hay." " Yeah." " But I'm not tired." "I don't need no sleep." "Well, let's get me cleaned up and then we can go out on the town and do a little high steppin'." " I don't know if that's such a good idea." " Why not?" "There's nothin' wrong with me." " No, there's nothin' wrong with you, but..." " Well, somethin's botherin' ya." "I can see it in your eyes." "Look, I'm just as fit as a fiddle." "I'm..." "Oh, no." "Oh, no." "I'm supposed to be young again." " Gramps, maybe you should..." " Look at me." "I'm a 170-year-old fart, a goddamn zombie." " Well, you look really good for a 170-year-old zombie," "Gramps, really great." " Well, I ain't gonna die if it's the last thing I do." "What in tarnation is it?" " Gramps, this is a 1986" "Alfa Romeo Spider." "Zero to 60, 7.3 seconds." "Let it out slow." "There you go, real slow." "Charlie!" "Yeehaw!" "Look at them stars." "Woo!" "You know, they were clearer back in the old days." "Sometimes they were so bright, you couldn't get to sleep." " Well, you know, Gramps, it's the ozone." "I mean..." "I mean, you know, insect repellents, you know, under arm deodorants maybe, just a pinch of communism, it's makin' the stars fade away." " You, you're drunk." "You're drunk." " Whoa!" " I better drive." "Oh, Charlie!" "Charlie, I could..." "Charlie?" " Jesse, you old golf bag." "How are you?" " Uh, John, what are you doing here?" " Oh, well, your beautiful lady informed me that she's found the Madonna of the 80's." "I thought I'd better come by and check it out." " Hey, I thought Madonna was the Madonna of the 80's, huh?" " Very good." "Who's your friend, Bozo the Clown?" " No, Bozo the Death Machine." "Uh, Charlie, Charlie, this is John Statmen, Kate's boss." "He's the president of Heretic Records." " Okay." "Okay, Okay." "John Statmen. 'Course." "Hi." "This is really a pleasure." "I'm really happy to meet you." "Charlie Coriell, manager of Puce Glitz and the Avoiders." " Kate!" " Ta da!" "Here she is." "Great, you have the tape?" "Where are you goin'?" " We're doing lunch." "John made a special trip out here to meet Lana and listen to her demo tape." "See you late, Jesse." " Isn't this great?" "They just keep comin' and comin' and comin'." "Where the hell they all comin' from anyhow?" " Heck, I broke it." " A brewski, Gramps." " Thank you." "I hate this doggone box." " Hello, I like this..." " It's got all them channels." "♫ I don't wanna grow up ♫" "It's got nothin' interestin' to watch." " Well, there I was right out in the middle of Kansas facing 500 crazy fanatics, heavily armed, and me with only 15 soldiers." "Now you take this Ronald Reagan feller." "He sure is a pansy." "He wouldn'ta lasted 10 minutes back in the old days." " My dear young lady, there comes a time in every soldier's life when he must stand or fall alone, and if you knew the army, you'd understand that he" " It wouldn't do no good to tell you how it was, you had to be there, and all them movies and books and crap, they don't tell you how it really was." "It was rough." " Well, I got a question for you." "What ever happened to Slim Razor?" " Slim Razor ain't part of my vocabulary no more, son." "We had a disagreement about who the skull belonged to." " What did you do?" " I shot the scallywag is what I did." "Well, he took a shot at me first, so I had to teach him a lesson," "and I left him to die in the Mojave Desert." " And that was that?" " Yeah, that was that." " Gramps, did you ever rob a stagecoach?" " Sure." " All right." " All the time." "I robbed a stagecoach once just outside of Dodge City." "Now, every day at about 5:30 it used to come into the bank with a bag of money that would give an elephant a hernia." "We set up on both sides of a little gorge just outside of town and when the stagecoach come on through, 50..." "And they chased me around them hills and clean across the border into Arizona territory, and I riding' for about two weeks without ever gettin' out of the saddle tryin' to lose them fellers." "There I was, holdin' them off with just two bullets in a Winchester and all of the sudden, I take an arrow right through the leg, right there." "Right." " And another one just under the shoulder, ooh, right there." "The caves were never uncovered again and there musta been a billion dollars in diamonds and jewels down there." "Now, that's somethin' I intend to search for just as soon as I get rejuvenated." " Shh." " What?" " I hear something." " Yeah, it sounds like music." "What time is it?" " And bring back some more beer." "Hey, Mike, how's it goin'!" "?" "Cool, Charlie, cool." "I'm in the business, Bozo!" " I invited some people over for Halloween." "I forgot." "Sorry." "Enjoy!" "Hey, Biff, how you doin'?" "Hey, get over here!" " Guess who." " Rochelle!" " Long time no see." "Oh." " Uh, Kate..." " It's been so long since I've seen you." " Yeah, it sure has." " Excuse me, we need to talk about something." " How long you out here for?" "Like a week." "Yee-haw!" " Would you hold this trash for a minute?" " Sure." " You look great." " Now, I know some people down in Hollywood." "Charlie!" "Charlie." " What?" " Look, Gramps." "What is he doin'?" "It looks like he's about to score." "Yeah, but how did he get up here?" " Will you relax?" "It's Halloween, he blends right in." "All right, Gramps!" "Go for it, pal!" "Hey, excuse me, will ya?" "Hey!" " Isn't he great?" " Yeah, he's an old friend... from way back." " Hey, excuse me!" "What's his problem?" " Hey!" " Hey, watch it." " Jesse?" " Uh-huh?" " Um, can I talk to you?" "Go ahead." " Out in back?" " Sure." " I'll meet you there." " Okie dokie." "Hey." " You better pack your ass in a suitcase and head for Panama." " You jerk!" "Ow!" " I knew it was Rochelle all along!" " Hey, hey, oh, no!" " Stupid fool!" " Katie, honey." "Take it easy." "No, no, wait, please." "Ooh." " No!" "Charlie, stop him!" " Hold it!" "Stop!" "Stop!" " Charlie, there's a jungle in there." "Get you something" " Valium!" "Get me Valium!" " Yeah." " Whiskey, get me whiskey." "I need the skull." "Without it, I'm a goner for sure." "Don't let him get away." " Gramps, there's a jungle upstairs." " And he took it in there." "He's from the Stone Age, kid." "You gotta stop him." "Don't worry, he's a pushover." " Gramps, I don't think you understand." "There is a jungle!" " Jesse, in the wrong hands that skull could cause trouble." "Now go." "Charlie." "Charlie?" "Hey!" " Charlie, don't sneak up behind me like that." " Well, I just happened to have this in the truck of the car." "Never know when you're gonna need one in a pinch, huh?" " What is it?" " This is an Uzisemi-automatic firing weapon." " Charlie, this is a machine gun!" " So?" " So... so what about me?" "What do I get?" " I only had the one Uzi, you know, but... got one of these." " What do I do with this, light cigars?" " No, you shoot people with it." "Duh." "Okay." "On the count of three you're gonna kick the door open, run in there blindly, and I'll cover you, okay?" " Guy with the big gun goes first." " Okay." "Ready?" " Yeah." " One, two..." " One, two." "Just hold on, hold on." "Not yet." " One, two..." " One, two..." " Three!" " Three!" "Where are you at, scumbag!" "?" " What are you doing!" "?" "Makin' sure you're not dreamin'." " Charlie." "Nobody's home." "What do we do?" "We need a plan." " Yeah, let's get the skull and get the hell outta here." " Good plan." "Thanks, Charlie." "Ooh!" "Gently, please!" " Take your best shot." "Huh?" "Coward!" "Come back and fight like a man!" " Where'd he go?" " He ran away with histail between his legs, chicken shit barbarian!" " Charlie, we got it." " All right!" " The skull is ours!" " The skull is ours!" "Oh, no." "Oh, no." "Come back!" "Wait!" "Hey, Jess!" "Don't lose it!" "It's this one." " Go on, hurry up." "Jess, don't worry." "If you fall, you'll die real fast." " Thanks, Charlie." " You're doin' great, Jess!" "Keep going!" "Ow!" "What an idiot." "Shit." " Ow!" "Ow!" "Huh?" " Hey, Jess, lookin' good!" "Wish I'd had a camera!" " Okay." "Nice bird." "Nice birdie." "Jeez." "All right." " Come on, Jess." " Let go!" " Jess!" "Jess, you get outta there!" "Come on!" "Come on, Jess!" "Jess, it's comin' back!" "Kick it!" "Come on, get it!" "Aw, come on!" "Catch me!" "Catch me!" "Charlie, catch me!" "I got it." " Catch me!" " I got you, Jess!" " What the hell was that?" " It sounded like a bomb." " Why didn't you use the stairs?" " Charlie, Charlie, you all right?" "I guess it's..." " Jess, get him off me!" "He's eatin' my leg!" "He's eatin' my." "Get it off me!" "Jess, it's eatin' me alive!" " Charlie." "Charlie!" " Hey, hey." "Hey, Jess, can we keep him?" " Well, who's gonna take care of him, Charlie?" " I'll feed him, change his water and stuff." " Charlie, help me." "Charlie help me!" " Don't forget the beer." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Get him." " Hey, Jesse?" " Damn!" " Charlie, hi." " Hi, John." "Lana." "Easy." "Easy." "Come on." "Come on, give it back." "There's nothin' to worry about." " We heard a noise." "Noise?" "Oh, oh, oh." "The really loud crashing noise." " Yeah." "Yeah, pretty much that one, yeah." " Got ya!" "Give it." "Give it back!" "It's my skull!" " In there's the kitchen." " Yeah, yeah." "Look, we just wanna know everything's okay." " Couldn't be better." " Oh, really?" "Good, yeah." " Nice, nice bird." "Okay, all right, all right, I know." " Listen, I wanted to tell you before the evening got away, you are a funny, funny guy." "And I mean that." "That is the hardest commodity to find in our business, really." "Look at this shirt, is this great?" "Is this him?" " Yeah, it's goofy." " You know, bananas, bananas." "Stay!" " Where's the beer?" " What are you doin' our here?" "Quick, somebody's comin'!" " Yeah, they go all the way around the back, they do." " Ah ha." "Hi, John." " Hi, buddy, what'scookin' in the kitchen?" " Nothing." " No?" "And what might be in that closet there?" " Nothing." " Nothing." "Well, can I see?" " John, I just told you, there's nothing in the closet." " Well, let me see nothing in the closet." "It wouldn't happen to be your old friend Rochelle in there, would it?" " John, what is it you are accusing me of in my own house?" " I'm not accusing you of anything." "I'm just asking a question, but I do think Kate would like an explanation." " You want an explanation?" "All right." "All right, I'll give you an explanation." "Kate, Kate, get in here." " What's going on here?" "Kate, I need to talk to you." " Why are you yelling?" " I'm not yelling." "Now, Kate, you know that since we've got here there's been some strange things going on in this house." "No, I, Charlie!" "Char, they want an explanation, I'm gonna give 'em one." "All right, now listen." "All right, now, Charlie and I, last night, went to the cemetery and we dug up my great-great-grand father's grave." "'Cause we were looking for a crystal skull." "It's supposed to be magic." "Anyway, we dug it up and we got the skull, but we also found my great-great-grandfather." "He was dead, but he's alive," "I mean he's a mummy and we brought him back and he's been staying in the basement." "And Charlie and I've just been running through this jungle trying to get the skull back." "And that's who's in there for your information, Mr. Sherlock Holmes." " Hi, Rochelle." "What are you doing in here?" "There's been a mistake." " Apparently." " Uh, you don't understand." " I understand perfectly." " No, Kate, listen to me." "I have no idea she was doing in there." " Well, who did you think was in there?" " A mummy!" "Or maybe even a baby pterodactyl." "Ow." " Shame on you, Jesse." " Look, it's a prehistoric bird!" "Kate!" " Here, let me get those from you." "Good riddance." "She's outta here." "Now we can do whatever we want, run around in our underwear, phony phone calls, all kinds of crazy" " Shut up, Charlie!" "Why can't you shut your mouth just once?" " Surprise!" " Gramps, where's Rochelle?" " Watch this." " Jesse." "Whoa." " I waited so long for you." " Uh-huh, Rochelle, it's great to see you, but I'm having some family problems right now." "You understand?" "Charlie, can you call Rochelle a cab?" " Hey, Chucky." " Hey, don't call me Chucky, okay?" " It was very sweet of you to come." "Thanks." "Hey there, birdie." "How 'bout a little trade, huh?" "'Kay?" "Come on, give it to Daddy." "Come on." "Whoa!" "I think he wants some more." "I don't have any more steak." " Now, now, now, I know that smells good," "I know it smells good." "Daddy's gonna have it ready right away, right away." "That's a puppy." "Yep, yep, yep, I know." "I know." "Daddy knows." "Daddy made the nana." "Open your mouth." "There." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep." "Yep, yep." " Gramps?" "I'm sorry I yelled at you." "You got me a little upset." " Well, I, I was just hankerin' to play a joke on somebody and..." "I'm sorry it turned out to be you." "That's enough, Bippy." "Bippy, Bippy, that's enough." "Now don't you, Bippy." "Oh, now look, just come on out and play." "That's it." "There you go." " Um, Gramps, look, I gotta get to bed." "Do you want me to put the skull back in the fireplace?" " I'll, I'll take care of that." "Bippy, you little rascal." "You scared the be jesus out of me." " Gramps." "Gramps." " Jesse, Jesse boy." "Are you all right?" " They bushwhacked me." "It musta been 30, 40 of 'em." "They come at me from all directions." " Charlie, get up!" "Charlie, come on." "Charlie." "Charlie, wake up!" "Get up!" "Charlie, come on, come on, come on, come on." "Oh, Jesus, Charlie, come on!" "Charlie!" "Charlie, get up!" " Jess, this better be real important." " Gramps lost the skull." " He what?" " Somebody, I don't know who, stole it." "He's dying Charlie." "We gotta get it back." " After all we did for him, he loses it!" "I can't believe he did that, Jess!" "I mean, I've never met anyone so irresponsible!" "You know I risked my life" " Charlie!" "Yeah?" " Bill, Bill Towner, electrician." "Uh, Jesse McLaughlin." " Nice to meet you, Jesse." "A young lady called, said you needed some work done." " She did, huh?" "Oh, wait" " Where's the fuse box, down there in the basement?" " Uh, listen, Bill, I'm sorry to trouble you, but this really isn't the right time." " Hey, that's all right, Jess," "I'm not gonna get in your way." "You just show me what needs fixin'." "This is quite a room you got here." "Yeah, very, very nice." "That's a weird fireplace though." " Yeah, uh, Bill..." " So what do we got in here?" "Ah, there it is." "Freemon 240, these old houses are loaded with 'em." "So this the room you're havin' problem here with, Jess?" " Uh, yeah, all along this wall, but the rest of the house is fine." "I wouldn't worry about that, Jesse." "It didn't look too valuable." "Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep." "Just as I'd expected." "Jess, you got a problem here, but hey, like with any problem, you know, you don't wanna let it get the best of you." "You know, I've been workin' on these houses, oh, about 20 years now and I've seen enough tragedy and disaster to make you wanna up chuck in your shorts." "You see, these old houses, they just got minds of their own, you know, and ya just gotta teach 'em who's boss." "You know, sorta give 'em a spankin'." "Huh, must be foreign made." "Well, I'm gonna fix this old house up for you, Jess, just like it's brand spankin' new." " What is that?" " Shh." "Uh-huh." "Oh." "Ooh." " What, what do you hear?" " Ah, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess." "It's not good." "I've seen this before and... it's always made my adenoids curdle." "Oh, hey, don't monkey with those switches, Jess." "It'll blow us both to Milwaukee." "It's touch and go from here, pal." "Could go either way, Jess." "Oh, yeah, yeah, Jess, want to step into my office here for a second?" "Listen, buddy, I like to be alone with my work, so if you don't mind..." " Yeah." " You got somethin' to do?" " Sure." " Go do it, buddy, go do it." "Go do it." "Nice kid." "Whoops." "Weird." " You see anything?" " Forget it." "I'm not goin' up there." "Gramps can get his own damn skull." " Come on, Charlie, Gramps said they went in here, so don't wimp out on me now." " Hey, buddy." "Oh, scared ya, huh?" "Relax." " Oh, God, Bill, are you all right?" " Yeah, fine." "Fine, fine." " Who is this?" " Uh, Bill." " Bill Towner, electrician." " Charlie Coriell, entrepreneur." " Uh, listen, fellas, we got a little problem in the other room." "I think you'd better come have a look." " Look, Bill, I'm sorry, but this really isn't a good time." "Why don't you pack it up and come back tomorrow?" " I think we better go in the other room and have a look." "Well, there it is." "Looks like you got some kind of alternate universe in there or somethin'." " Thanks." "Come on, Charlie." "Guess I'm next." "Jess, got any spiders in there?" "'Cause you know I" " You comin', Charlie?" "Hey, I don't know you guys." "Look, that's an alternate dimension in there or somethin' and..." "Incredible." " Well, hold on a second, will ya?" "I've been through this kinda thing before." "Just don't touch anything till I get there." "Looks like you're gonna need the help of a professional." " You got a flashlight?" " Yeah." "You know something?" "I'm incredibly scared right now." "Don't be a fag, okay?" "Shh!" "Listen." "I think it's coming from over there." "There it is." "Yep." "Well, it's not gonna be easy." " They're not gonna sacrifice her, are they?" " Hey, Jess, now, now, is she a virgin?" "Because I've never seen one before and she's really dynamite, man." "Hey!" "No, no!" "Oh, boy." "Well, hey, hey, come on, come on." "Well, I'm sorry, we thought that she was somebody that we knew." "Go ahead, enjoy, it's okay." "Watch this." "Woohoo!" "Whoa!" "Neat, huh?" "Hey, you!" "Thank you!" "Come on, come on." "Get her out of here." "Whoa!" " Jess!" "Come on, get out of here." "I'll hold them off." " Thing is, Billy, I don't remember which way." " Just follow the string." " Come on!" " Bill, come on." " Don't worry about me." "I gotta get home, my kid's little league night." "Where's Bill?" "I don't see him." "Go on!" "Hey, Bill." "All right!" " Oh, Charlie." "Good to see you back." "I started to get a little concerned here." " Hey, hey, Bill, what are you doin' here?" " You know, you guys throw one heck of a party and I'd really like to thank you for inviting me along." "Jess, it's been a pleasure and miss, it was a pleasure to meet you." "Oh, and Jess, listen, if you need any more work done just give me a call there, huh?" "Take care, Charlie." "See ya." "Who was that man?" " Where the hell's the food?" " I'll go check." " And tell him we're starvin'." " You know, I've been watchin' her and she really likes you." "Seriously, she likes you." " Come on, Charlie." " I'm serious." "Watch." "Who do you like better, me or him?" "Me, Charlie, fun, you know, crazy guy, nut, or him?" "I rest my case, Jess." "Ow!" " All right." "Well, if everybody's hungry let's dig in while it's hot." " Uh, Jess, shouldn't we say grace?" "You know, say a few nice words about God or whoever." " Um..." "All right, I guess I'd just like to... thank everyone for their special contribution to the meal" "and to say that I guess I think of all of you as, well, my family now." " That was well put, son." "Now, let's eat." " Yeah." " Slim... you low down weasel." "I've been waitin' for you." "Long time, partner." "Charlie!" "He's mine." "I knew you'd catch up with me sooner or later." " Gramps!" "Gramps." "Charlie!" " After all this time... he got me." "You're gonna need this." "He's the one that killed your ma and pa." " Oh, my God." "Charlie!" " Get out or he's gonna kill ya!" " Jesse." "You and you, come with me around back." "A possible sniper holdup in the 175 Woodacre Drive" " What's up, Eddy?" " Sheriff, we got a crazy in there shooting' up the whole neighborhood." " The old McLaughlin place." " That's right." "We just found out who owns the place." "Jesse McLaughlin." "He's old Clarence's son." "Just moved in a couple of days ago." " Clarence's son?" " Yeah." " Well, he's movin' out tonight." "I'm gonna talk to that sucker." "His name was?" " Jesse." " Jesse!" "We have the place surrounded." "Why don't you come out peacefully and give yourself up?" "We don't want anybody to get hurt." "Now it's mine!" "Get down!" "Hold your fire!" " What the hell's goin' on in there?" "Hold your fire!" " Did you blow his head off?" "That's a good boy." "I thought for sure he's kick your ass." "But I didn't let on though, did I, son?" "No, no, you didn't, Gramps." " This is it, kid." "You're not gonna die." "The skull's right here." " Oh, it don't make no difference no more, son." "I've done all I can do in this world... and it's time to move on." " No, no, don't." " You get what you want from this old skull." "I got somethin' real special." "I got to meet my great-great-grandson and had a hell of a time." "You figure what you want... and then... get rid of the God damn thing." "No." "Come on." "Come on, Gramps." "Hold on." "Hold on, Gramps." "I love you, Gramps." " I love you too, Jesse." " Jesse, this is your last chance." "Come out with your hands up!" "I'm gonna count to 10 and then we're coming in firing." "One..." "There's something in the window!" "Two..." "Three..." "Four..." "Five...." "Six..." "Seven..." "Eight..." "Nine." "Take cover!" "Sheriff's down!" "We need backup!" "Keep firing!" "Hyah!"
