Critters 3 (1991) Movie Script

What?

- All the cops have wooden legs!

- They sure do!

- All right, hold on!

- What is it?!

Flat tire! Hold on!

Oh, man.

All right, I'm gonna find

a place to pull over.

Oh, man.

Excuse me.

Hey, I like this place.

Maybe we could build

some houses,

just like

Gilligan's Island.

Gilligan's Island?

After all

that's happened, Annie,

what's wrong

with going home?

Dad...

- vacation was fine.

- Yeah, fine.

Let's face it, Annie,

it's just not the way

that it was.

Dad, Mom's been dead

for two years.

It's the way it is.

We have lift-off.

Honey, look, why don't you

just hit the cooler,

get yourself some pop?

But stay close, okay,

'cause I want to fix this tire

and get on home.

Hey, don't go

down there, kid.

There's all kinds

of wild animals and shit.

- Who do you belong to?

Hey! Hey, you!

Hands off!

Are you some kind

of a pervert or something?

Johnny,

you know better than that.

You don't even know this guy.

Hey, hey, wait a minute.

I don't know you either, okay?

He almost

went over the edge.

There could be badgers

or something down there.

Throw it.

Come on, throw it.

Well, throw it.

Go back, come on.

Wow, bald and flat.

I feel for you, man.

Sometimes life really sucks,

doesn't it?

Looks like you just bought me

a tournament Frisbee, dude.

I can get it back.

No sweat.

Come on. What, are you guys

standing guard? Let's go.

Come on, guys, let's go

the other way, okay?

Johnny, come on.

Ah, ha!

I told you.

Was I right,

or was I right?

No playing here!

You kids oughta

know better than...

wait.

You hear it?

It could be anywhere

around here.

Above us, behind us,

or in the ground.

Do you think this is

some kind of joke?

You think this is

some kind of game?!

They're hungry.

All they do is eat.

You got to keep a weathered

eye out all the time!

If you don't watch

every minute... then wham!

Then it's too late.

Who are you?

Any of you ever hear

of a place called Grover's Bend?

It's a real town

with real people.

Now, in 1984...

I was riding my bicycle

and I looked up.

I saw this thing

in the sky.

Call the Army.

They're here!

- Who?

- Who?!

Them!

On Earth

I was just a big nobody.

Up in space I am

somebody.

Charlle bounty hunter.

Yeah, "Charlie

bounty hunter."

Dad's all torn up

and Mom's got like

a harpoon thing in her neck,

and they're getting bigger.

You're not

from around here, are you?

I got to go where

the cosmic winds blow me.

I got to...

go where no man

has gone before.

I'm a bounty hunter!

Come on, you can't expect us

to believe this horseshit.

You can believe

what you want, son.

All I know is you got to

get away from here

while you still can.

Well, there's something

I can agree with.

So walk away.

There you go.

Probably could've used that lug

wrench a little while longer.

Got it.

You should have had

your spare tire down here.

Could've saved you

some traveling.

Never know when

you're gonna have a flat tire

on an antique like this.

Are you supposed

to be scary?

Me?

No.

It ain't me,

it's them.

I've seen them.

I've been

seeing them for...

Look, you believe

in monsters?

- Yeah.

- Good. Good.

That's what

I'm telling you about.

Now, some friends

of mine from...

a long way off,

they gave me

a whole bunch of these.

I only got

a couple left,

but I want you

to have one.

Now, if this ever starts

to glow bright green,

that's the time

to watch out for yourself.

And your family.

- Green.

- That's right, green.

Annie! Johnny!

All aboard!

We really have to go now.

- Yeah, give my regards to Mars.

- Don't be so quick.

You're not as smart

as you think you are.

You can have the rest

of my root beer.

Thank you, partner.

It's my favorite.

Johnny, come on now.

Look what I found.

Whoa, what is it?

I don't know. It looks

like a big electric bullet.

Homemade.

He dropped it.

Joshua!

Front and center, now.

- Joshua?

- Josh, please.

- Is that your father?

- Stepfather.

Never, never will we trust you

out of our sight again.

When I say five minutes,

I don't mean seven,

I don't mean three.

Discipline from now on,

young man. Hmm?

I will not

and your mother will not...

spare anymore rods.

Is he going

to get spanked?

I don't think his mom

is going to let that happen.

Well, Big John, I guess

we had some adventure, huh?!

Dad!

Dad, you should

have seen it!

There was this guy,

this really strange guy--

I really don't care, Annie.

I told you two to stay close,

now, didn't I?

Look at the two of you...

you're filthy.

- Johnny, get in the truck.

- I know, Dad,

but he came out of the ground

and scared the crap out of us.

He scared the crap

out of us.

Miss Sawyer...

can we please watch

our language around Johnny?

Shit.

Look, honey, I just don't know

what to say to you.

Well, you could say

that you're not

going on the road tomorrow.

You could say that

I'm not old enough

to take care of myself.

Honey, you're not

being fair.

Mr. And Mrs. Menges take

real good care of you guys.

They're like family.

Hey...

it's the best

that I can do.

Besides, you're

a young woman now.

Maybe I don't want

to be a young woman now.

Grover's Bend?

What a crock.

You're listening to Topeka's

number one country

radio station.

Country 107, KTPK.

Hey, Frank,

give me a hand with some

of this stuff, man.

Absolutely, Mario.

I am the handyman

after all.

- You asshole.

- I heard that.

Vaya con Dios, Mario.

Four more units

to vacate, Jessie,

and I'm a rich man.

Hey, you got

the elevator fixed.

Frankie.

Hey, not for you, Rosie.

There's still

a one-ton load limit.

Ooh, you...

Yo, yo, yo.

Check your weapons at the door,

it's the chick

that walks like a man.

Dating outside

our species now, huh?

Oh, very funny.

Very, very funny.

I wasn't talking

to you, Frank.

Yo, Marcia,

I got a little

phone problem.

Maybe you can

come down to the basement

and check out my equipment.

Sorry, Frank,

I left my microscope upstairs.

Ho-ho! Ho!

She's killing me.

Hey, Mario.

I sure am sorry to see

you go, my friend.

I just killed two rats

this morning.

Rats?!

Hey, Frank... rats.

Hey, don't look at me.

I got to see them

to "e-rat-icate" them.

Yo, Jessie,

look who's home.

Something's wrong.

No brakes!

Hold onto Johnny.

Everybody all right?

Yeah.

Safe at home.

Oh, man.

I'm sorry, Mario.

No brakes.

Something I can do?

That's okay.

Is everybody okay?

So, uh, Frank,

you going to give us

a hand with this?

No.

I'm the maintenance man.

He doesn't live here

anymore.

Muah.

I'll miss you, Jess.

I'll be in my office.

Would you mind, uh,

clean up this junk?

The guy's a waste

of protein.

Yeah, but what

a snappy dresser.

Oh, Dad, I'm gonna go

say hello to the Menges.

Yeah, but don't go up

empty handed.

You take something with,

all right?

Ladies.

Java.

Fuck. Wh...?

What's this?

Oh, that's dlsgustlng.

Wha--

Yeah, you're next, pal.

Hey, girl.

Oh.

Going down to help Dad?

I thought I might.

I mean, we got ourselves

a loaded truck,

an unloaded camper,

a car wreck...

- I think they can use my help.

- Um, Marcia?

Are there any jobs down

at the phone company?

What, you need a job?

Ah, you want

Clifford home.

Well, I was just thinking.

We'll see what we can do.

Yeah, we will.

- Hello! Hello, Annie.

- Hello.

Oh, welcome home, dear.

Come in.

Did you have

a wonderful trip?

Dear, say hello to Annie.

They've just been

to the Grand Canyon.

Say, did you know

they just discovered

an alien graveyard there?

- Who did?

- Government.

Secret.

Wait till you taste

what I'm cooking today.

Where's Johnny?

He'll love them.

Tell me about

your trip, dear.

Oh, yeah.

Well, we froze

to death in Arizona,

saw these Indian caves

in Mesa Verde,

and met this weird lunatic

near Grover's Bend.

He jumped right out

from the ground.

So you had a good time?

Grover's Bend?

I'm making Mr. Menges'

favorite dish today.

Ham and beans.

Oh, will you and Johnny

stay for dinner?

Oh, no.

It's our last night

together with Dad.

He leaves on the 8:15

to Chicago.

Uh, we better save

the tarts till later, dear.

I don't want your father to say

I spoiled your dinner...

again.

Hello, girls.

How you doing, eh?

Are you a little hungry?

How about I give you to

the old farts upstairs tonight?

Iris Arms apartment complex,

Frank Longo

at your service.

- Longo, what's the good news?

- Uh, yo.

Right here.

Right here, Mr. Briggs.

I hope you did

what I'm paying you for.

Yes.

Well, yes, I did.

Yes, I did.

Mario is history

as of right now.

You promised me all of them.

- I lose my Investors...

- Hey.

Wha--

The way I look at this,

is that you are making

all the "e! Giganto“ profits

off the sale of this shithole,

not little old moi.

- You listen to me, Frank.

- Well...

Well, maybe it's time

that you get

down here and get involved.

Look, I hired you so I wouldn't

have to get involved.

I'm not lifting another finger

until you pay me for Mario!

You got that?!

You can take that to the bank!

Balls!

Hello?

Where are you?

What are you doing out

without Uncle Frankie's

permission, huh?

Go back upstairs

where you belong!

Work with me!

What this dump needs

is a good four alarm fire.

- Dad, dlnner's getting cold.

- Comlng.

I want you to listen

to the Menges.

Sometimes I think

you don't listen.

I'll be back

Friday night.

- Oh, toothpaste.

- Got it.

And Dad, you really should

pack some vitamins, too.

And I want you to help her

make beds in the mornings.

She's not a young woman,

you know.

- I'm done.

- Can't you wait for Dad?

Mr. M promised me

pirate stories.

Ahh!

- Bye.

- You be a good boy.

- Okay.

- See ya.

- Dad.

- Hmm?

What's going to happen

to the Menges?

I mean, where will

they go?

We're going to have

to move too, you know.

They'll get us out.

Dad, you're going to have

to deal with this.

You got to think about it,

make some decisions.

Annie...

I'm going

to eat my dinner,

and then I'm going to watch

some moronic situation comedy,

and then I'm going to sleep

the sleep of the dead.

Can we worry about

this tomorrow, hmm?

I love my work.

Ow, ow, ow!

Hot! Hot!

Damn teenagers!

Wh...

Oh! Oh, oh...

Hairballs.

Did you hear something?

No.

Tell Johnny bedtime,

one hour.

That goes for you, too.

Oh, and give this check

to Mrs. Menges.

It's for taking care

of you guys.

Tell her I'll cover

the rest of it when I get back.

Dad, remember how much fun

we used to have?

Yeah.

Well,

wh--what was I like then?

Shorter.

Dad...

maybe I could

go get Johnny

and we could play a game

or something.

Honey, give me your

battery-powered TV, would you?

- Who's there?

- It's just me.

Laundry night.

I'm a little spooked

tonight, too.

Did you hear

screaming before?

It was probably

just Frank.

- What is eating him?

- I don't know.

Frank's just naturally

repulsive.

Say hello to

Mrs. And Mr. Manges for me.

Alright.

Aaah!

Frank?

I know you're there.

I can hear you breathing.

Talk to me, Frank.

Frank?

Frank? Hello?

All right, Longo, very funny.

Enough is enough.

Frank?

We are not amused.

Frank, try to guess just how

close your termination is.

Okay, it's your funeral,

wiseass.

I'm coming over there and

taking care of things myself.

We got another errand to do

before we sleep, sport.

Business.

Can't you just

drop me off at home?

No way, sport.

Someday this pool

will be yours.

You're going to have

to learn how to swim in it.

Looks like they'll have to meet

their landlord after all.

See?

Grover's Bend, 1986.

Now, you can see the same kind

of occurrence two years later...

1988.

Even local law enforcement

claims they've seen

space aliens.

One of them supposedly killed

a sheriff in the '88 encounter.

A sheriff?

Yes.

A sheriff wearing...

an Easter Bunny suit.

And I'll bet the aliens

were all wearing tuxedos.

Of course,

he must have been reading

the same newspapers as you.

That's where he got the story

in the first place.

Who? What guy?

That crazy guy

we ran into on vacation.

He actually believes

this stuff.

Oh... I didn't mean...

It's okay.

Look, I'm sorry.

I guess I'm still upset over

a fight I just had with my dad.

I'm going to go back downstairs

and check on him.

I'll be back

for Johnny in awhile.

Well, John, you still like

my stories, don't you?

- It's him!

- Huh? Who?

If it glows green,

that's the time

to watch out for yourself.

Her first frame is a strike.

Michelle led in the earlier

rounds in this tournament,

and was the hot item around

Southern California

when it came to sports.

She really was.

Yesterday,

in the second round

of match play,

Steve, she bowled incredibly.

She had a 300...

Hello?

Frank?

Frank, is that you...

or some other rat?

Well... huh.

Terrific.

You pervert.

We got varmints.

Frank,

what in the wild world

of Geraldo

is going on down here?

Oh, my God.

Oh...

Oh, no! What is it?!

Aaah!

There's more of them!

Get away.

Oh, no, no!

No, please!

What are these things?!

Annie! Annie, help me!

Get it off, get it off!

Get me out of this.

Oh, Annie, hurry!

Hurry, they're going

to come again!

- Rosalle, give me some slack!

- Okay. Owl

It hurts.

Oh, Annie...

Frank.

Oh, Annie, let's

get out of here!

Annie! Annie!

Oh, Annie!

Come on!

- Help me here. Okay.

- Yeah, okay.

Feast your eyes on the future

site of Briggs' Mini Mall.

Nice concept, huh?

Naming it after

yours truly.

But Mom said

the court ordered you

to pay them money to move.

To relocate.

Not if they move

on their own accord, sport.

"Sport."

There are much simpler ways

to sweep and clear.

You'll see.

You'll learn.

Come on.

I'll teach you.

Oh, God, please make

this a dream.

Rosalie, come on!

Come on.

Dad!

- What? I

- That's right,

she'll have a really nice game

if she can stay...

Dad!

- Oh, Dad, it was awful.

- There are things. They're huge!

They're gigantic.

They're like rats! Rats!

- No, no, no, badgers.

- What happened?

Badgers.

No, Tasmanian devils.

- Slow down!

- Dozens of 'em.

And they attacked me.

They had these white fang teeth.

And then--and they bit me!

They bit me on my leg!

Oh, my God,

I'm bleeding.

Sit over here,

Rosie.

Dad, they're little

animals

just like the ones

in the paper.

They've got lots

of sharp teeth.

They're nasty things...

nasty things with sharp teeth.

They're things

from outer space.

You can ask Mr. Manges

about it.

Dad, they're aliens!

Aliens in the basement?

You have to believe her!

They're big. They're huge.

They're like badger, possums...

they're big cats.

You got to listen to her,

they're awful!

Rosie, calm down,

calm down.

- You just saw a rat.

- Dad, will you look at her leg?

Oh, Rosie.

A rat did this to you?

This is serious.

They're not rats, Dad.

They got

Frank in the basement.

- They got Frank?

- They got Frank!

They got Frank!

Dad! Oh...

Dad, come on.

Aaah!

Dad, come on!

What are those things?!

Go, go, go!

In two tournaments I've seen

her shoot those 300 games.

She can throw

the strikes.

- She makes a strike.

- Eat that.

God damn it.

You see, sport?

All kinds of animals

follow them around.

These people are animals.

Pretty soon

you can't tell them apart.

The people, the pets...

they've all got fleas.

This'll get

their attention.

Their attention for what?

Our little panic...

casserole.

You think they're screaming

and carrying on now?

Just wait till I cut off

their communication

with their social

workers.

Hello?

That's funny.

I lost contact

with Grover's Bend.

What did he mean,

"Watch out for yourself"?

Third floor...

second floor...

first floor...

basement.

Who turned out

the lights?!

- Son of a bitch.

- Oh, Dad.

How many stairs are

in this place anyway?

Wait, we just went up

these stairs.

Oh, I'm dizzy.

Come on.

What's your problem, come on.

Oh, I just want to rest.

What the hell are you guys

doing down here?

Marcia! Marcia, come and help!

They're passing out.

There are things,

they're like big rats.

Only they bite and...

I forget.

They're aliens.

Porcupines!

Mrs. Menges!

Come on, Cliff.

Let me help you.

Lean on me.

Up. Up.

Up, that's it.

- Who are you?

- Marcia.

You know me, Cliff.

Come on.

- Marcia?

- Yeah. Come on.

- Up, up. That's it.

- Yeah, okay.

Thank you.

Porcupines?

Come out, come out,

wherever you are.

Your landlord is here

to evict you.

Jeez, a rat did that?

Looks like I'll have to charge

somebody for a new door.

Give me the keys.

I'm gonna wait in the car.

Forget It.

We're In this together.

I thought you cut off

all the power.

I did cut off

all the power.

Can we just go?

They must have tapped

into the emergency system.

Hello?

It's your landlord.

I have matters to discuss.

...Chicken,

there's the wishbone,

which I'll cut out.

All this makes

perfectly marvelous soup.

You have to get

the leg bones out

from the legs

and the wing side.

And the way

to do that is...

push the bones through.

And then take...

there's the... ball joint

of your roast chicken.

We'll have our work done

in a minute, sport.

Don't call me "sport."

You wanna take that off,

save everything for soup.

You're not a crybaby, too,

are you, sport?

- So clip the wings and go,

- Huh?

"Uh!"

Now...

I hate you.

I wish you were dead!

Sport?

Sport!

Hey, come on.

Let me in.

Let him go.

Hey.Hey!

Hey, come on. He can't help

being an asshole!

What are you doing? Hey!

You're ready to remove

the bones.

Hey, come on.

He just wants to talk to you!

Leave him alone!

Let him go!

Let him go! Come on!

Hey, what's the matter?

They've got him.

They're tearing him apart.

- They're killing him!

- Who?! They've got who?

Wait. Stop, stop.

Step back.

Stay back.

- Come on!

- What's going on?

Never mind.

Come on! Go!

This way. Come on.

Let's go.

No, no, wait!

I can't just leave him there.

That guy you were with,

your dad?

Stepfather.

Listen,

I don't know what the hell

is going on down there,

but I just saw

something there.

There's animals,

some kind of hungry things.

I don't know,

but he's dead, hon.

There's nothing

we can do for him.

- What's your name?

- Josh.

Okay, Josh...

Get back!

Oh, look!

- Come on!

- Do you have any more flares?

Fresh out!

What?

Let us in!

Close the door!

Josh!

Annie.

Come on,

help me move this desk, quick.

- Swing it around that way.

- Josh, what are you doing here?

- I came with her.

- Marcia?

Push it up against the door.

Right up tight.

Great.

That should hold them.

Josh, how did you get here?

There's monsters outside,

aren't there?

Yeah, there are monsters

out there.

- Hey, anybody check the phone?

- It's dead, like the lights.

You know, I still don't know

what the hell is going on here.

Ain't no rats,

you can be sure of that.

What are you

talking about?

Did you ever see one of these

come out of any rat you've seen?

Ain't no rats.

Must be venom...

poison.

They're here!

I saw the door downstairs,

they chewed right through it.

What do you say we barricade

the kitchen door?

What kitchen door?

Mr. Menges, you don't have

a gun up here

or anything like that?

I got a great

Civil War pistol.

I used to have a frame

for It.

I got no powder.

How about a big knife?

How about

a meat cleaver, dear?

You find anything there, dear?

No.

Wait.

What's that?

Oh. As I recall,

that's a little storage area.

Mr. Menges and I haven't

crawled up there in years.

Josh, come here!

Do you have a footstool

or something?

In the pantry.

Hey, you guys,

check this out.

Mrs. Menges, does this

connect with the roof?

I really don't know

where that goes, dear.

You get up there

and you crawl...

crawl that direction,

and you'll hit

the elevator shaft.

- You don't know that.

- I'll get the others.

Sure I do. I've stored

stuff up there.

Do you think you guys

can climb a ladder?

No ladder.

Go up a ladder

tomorrow.

No.

No tomorrow.

I can't deal

with this anymore, Dad!

Move your ass, now!

Now.

Come on, Clifford.

Hey, hey, we've been climbing

three flights of stairs

ever since that elevator

broke down.

Come on.

You can do it.

It's gotten too quiet

out there.

I don't like it.

They'll just get in

some other way.

We got to get out

of here!

Rosalie, come on.

We got to go. You're next.

I'll watch the door.

- Oh, no.

- Come on. Up, Roselle.

- Right.

- All right.

- Come on, you can do it.

- Come on, I'll help you.

You know...

if we can make it

to the roof,

I can get to

the junction box outside,

tie into the phone lines,

call for help.

- You can do that?

- Hey, I can do anything...

I work for

the phone company.

- Push.

- Ow, ow. Ow.

- Up, Rosalie.

- Push.

Come on. Go.

- Push, fair Rosie, come on!

- Help.

Push!

Push, Josh.

We've come this far.

Come on, help her.

Look, clear, the quilt that

Aunt Carolyn gave us, remember?

Yeah, I remember.

Come on, let's go.

Everybody be calm, now.

Let's go.

Go!

Go... quick!

Grab that, quick!

- Go!

- They're over here!

Josh, come on.

Keep going.

Which way do I go?

Yo, Josh,

give me the flashlight.

Kids, here!

Right through there.

Look, you stay with them and try

and keep everybody together.

I'm gonna check out

this direction.

Marcia! Be careful.

Come on, Annie.

Annie.

It won't open.

Please!

It won't open.

We're trapped.

Where's Marcia?

Oh, damn it.

I'm lost.

Josh...

what are you

doing here?

I came here

with my stepdad.

We came here

to evict you.

I didn't want

to come.

Pretty awful, huh?

Yeah.

I just can't believe

he's dead.

Josh...

my mom died.

Not like your dad,

but she died.

But I bet you didn't wish

for your mom to die.

I just wish we could

go back to this morning.

I just wish we could figure out

how to use this thing.

Look...

if nobody can think

of anything better,

one of us has got to make it

to the street and run for help.

The only way I know

to get around them things

is this elevator shaft.

Hey.

I got a better idea.

How do you get

to the box?

Redundant cable.

Keeps the lines

from blowing down.

It ought to hold my weight

long enough for me to...

get connected.

I'm down to 119.

Marcia, you're going

to die out there.

Any calls you want me

to make for you?

Come on.

Belay me.

Adios.

Uh-oh.

Okay.

Oh, God.

Josh!

Josh, we're on fire!

One thing at a time.

Marcia, one thing

at a time.

- Oh, my God. Marcia!

- Marcia!

Ohh!

She's swinging.

She's swinging!

Annie,

it's okay, she's--

Oh!

Thank you.

Oh!

Phone. Phone!

Phone, phone.

Let's go.

Yes. Go. Yes!

Oh, no.

Damn. Damn.

Yeah, yeah.

Go, go!

Yes, yes, yes!

Yes!

No! No, no.

Yes, yes.

I can do this.

Annie.

I'm going for help.

It's okay. I'm gonna

take care of everything.

Annie.

Annie!

Don't go down there.

That's too dangerous.

You come on back here.

Let somebody else

do that.

Second floor.

Hand, foot.

Nothing to it.

Oh!

All right, get back...

get back into the elevator.

I got you, you hear?

Oh, gee.

It's jammed.

It's okay.

Sometimes it does this.

What?!

You came here

just in time.

Where's your family?

Take me to them.

Well, the elevator's stuck.

We have to climb.

How did you get here?

A gentlemen called me.

A real nice fella.

All right.

- What's going on?

- I don't know.

Hold on!

Floor, please?!

The roof!

Somebody help us

out of here.

I'm stuck.

Hey, it's you.

Yeah, what's left of me.

The building

is burning downstairs.

We've got

to get on the roof.

Oh.

Don't look. Don't...

be casual but,

who is that hunk that

just came in with your daughter?

Charlie.

- Hi.

- How you doing, partner?

I guess you were right

about those things.

See if you can pry

that bullet out of there.

My fingers are too big.

What about Marcia?

Yes. Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yeah! Yes!

Please deposit 25¢

for the first three minutes.

Damn!

I hate operators.

Quiet.

Everybody quiet.

If you're quiet,

you can hear them moving.

- Annie, my gun.

- I'm trying!

It won't come out.

All right,

keep your eyes on them.

Look 'em in the eye.

They'll telegraph

their every move.

I hate you!

Josh!

You leave

my husband alone!

Annie.

Annie?

Charlie!

Open wide.

We got 'em!

Come on, let's go!

Mobile Ops 7707.

Emergency.

Oh, God, no!

Come on, Johnny.

Stay here.

Fire! Help us!

Can anyone hear me?!

Please, help us!

Can't you see us?!

We're on fire!

Come over here.

Somebody help!

It's really burning.

Up there, can you hear us?!

- There's a fire here!

- Is anybody up there?!

- What are we going to do?

- Hang on. Hang on.

- We'll be all right.

- Please, help us.

You were wonderful.

- Thank you very much.

- You saved us all.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Please, fire!

Come on!

Fire!

Somebody help us!

We're on fire!

Are you okay?

Can you stand?

No, I can't.

Johnny, get away

from the edge!

But Marcia's down there.

I don't care.

Get over here now!

Listen to me.

Get over here!

Look, Annie, look!

Charlie!

- I got you.

- Help!

Don't look down, Johnny.

Annie, don't let go!

Annie, I'm slipping.

Hold on, Johnny.

Please,

somebody help me!

I got you.

I love you.

Help!

- Charlie?

- Help!

Get help!

Charlie.

Throw me a rope.

Get a rope!

Dad, we got to do

something.

Oh, no. Oh, no!

Charlie, look out.

Hey... I hope you'll

let me down easier than that.

Outer space all right.

No doubt about it.

We can prove it.

- We could've proved it except...

- It was all burnt up in there.

Documented proof.

All my papers.

Actual physical evidence...

gone.

- Hi.

Oh. I'll be

over there, okay?

- How are you?

- I'm fine.

So... how 'bout

getting together sometime,

and doing

something normal?

- Normal like a movie?

- Yeah.

Charlie!

Don't go.

Uh...

Listen, partner,

how's that

crystal doing?

Yeah.

See?

There's no more

problem.

- You don't need me anymore.

- Johnny.

Come here a minute.

Bye, Charlie.

Bye, John.

Are you leaving

today, Daddy?

I think I finally got

the message

you guys want me

to stay close to home.

My uniform's

all burnt up,

so I think the railroad

can get along without me.

Dad, can we survive?

Well, we've just been

talking about that.

I think I'll check out

those jobs

down at

the phone company.

And between the Menges

and us,

we'll work something out.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah.

- I'm Josh's mother.

- How do you do?

Josh has told me about

all you've done for him.

And my husband...

my late husband, he owes you

people quite a bit of money.

- He does?

- It's called a relocation foo.

And I think with that,

you'd be able to stay in a hotel

until we get

the place rebuilt.

That Is,

If you would be Interested.

We're interested.

And thank you.

Um...

Why don't we introduce

ourselves?

Johnny, where's your friend

from Grover's Bend?

Charlie?

He left.

Just like one

of those westerns.

No. No.

All right, you gumballs.

What is that?

Bounty hunter Charles McFadden,

Earth sector...

you are in violation.

Violation?

Wait a second.

I'm just killing Critters here.

That is...

there was a confirmed

infestation...

of Crites.

Charlie.

Is that you in there?

Charlie, my friend.

Wow.

Wow. It's great

to see you.

And you as well.

You're looking good.

We just received

your bio alert.

Yeah, yeah.

What was that all about?

Specifically,

you are prohibited

from terminating

any transgalactic lifeform

if it means total extinction

of the species.

Oh, yeah.

But they're dangerous.

You taught me

how dangerous they are.

Aggression factor

is irrelevant.

Those two eggs

are the last two eggs.

The intergalactic council

has dispatched

a specimen collection pod.

You are instructed

to place the eggs

into the receptacle

in the pod.

The council is sending

a pod here?

Come on, Ug...

Good luck, Charlie,

my friend.

Yeah, but Ug...

Ug! Wait a second.

What am I supposed to...

Ug!
