Rottentail (2018) Movie Script

Hello, bunny.

My brother Mikey!

Don't "brother" me.

Where's the rest of my order?

Jack back now, co-jack.

It hasn't come in yet.

I need a wolverine.

I'm not a super store.

And with all the animal

activists snooping around

out there,

this shit ain't easy.

You smoke weed

and run a pet shop.

What's so hard about that?

Bogus, brother.

I can take this fluffy

tail straight back.

No!

Crispy.

-Later gator.

-I need a wolverine.

Climb it, Tarzan.

Yeah, sure.

Um, can you get the door?

Aw, man. Why don't

you do it yourself?

Okay.

You work here?

Do I have to fucking do--

everything?

Hello, Mike.

Where is my--

-wolverine?

-Um, they...

They haven't come yet.

I'm good.

That's for Peter.

Peter? Peter's a waste of space!

Everybody knows

I'm the true genius!

You get me what I need,

so I can show these

fools the power of my creation.

Marshmallow.

Now, get me my wolverine.

Mike! Mikey-Mike! Mike Obama!

Did you get my new rabbits?

Please tell me you did.

I think I may have

finally perfected my serum.

I need my rabbits.

I've got to test it on them,

'cause we may be kissing

infertility goodbye forever!

No. They didn't come in yet.

Mike. I really need

those rabbits, buddy.

You and I are not bros.

-I said buddies.

-No, I don't like you.

You are a waste of time.

Well, what about

the sign on my door?

It says 'storage'.

It's obviously a laboratory.

Can we get that changed?

Talk to Dr. Lopez.

Dr. Lopez, okay. Aces.

Hey, Mike. Want to go

to lunch sometime?

No!

It's going to work.

I know it's going to work.

No!

Is that a Spectrometer 4000?

Get out of dodge!

How come I don't

have one of these things?

I could get so

much more work done.

Unbelievable.

Hey.

They had rabbits in here.

Definitely here.

This one was pregnant.

Oh!

Hello?

Is someone down there?

Holy Moses. Oh.

Oh, what have we done to you?

Oh, my--Oh.

Hey. Hey little fella.

Hi, hey. How are you?

I'll help you.

Ow, ow, ow.

It's okay.

I just got to figure out

how to turn this doohickey off.

Dr. Stanley's an animal!

But you--Oh, not you. Not you.

Not an animal.

I'm Dr. Cotton. I'll get

you out of here I promise.

I'm going to take

you somewhere nice and safe.

Oh, I wonder

how old you are now?

I'm sure you're...

Let go! Let go! I'm your friend!

I'm your friend! Let go of me!

Oh.

Peter Cotton.

Was a special kid, he was.

A little nerdy, though. Just

like his father, James Cotton.

Now he's a lab rat.

Tested feminine products

on furry little animals.

Put lady lips on monkey feet.

It was a called a respectable

job back in the atomic age.

Such a wannabee,

hippity, happy family they were.

Little Peter's story

starts back in the 10th grade

when his best

friend was murdered!

Peter.

Very good job this year.

-I expected no less.

-Thank you, Principal Myers.

Excellent.

-Hey, dork.

-Ow!

You looking at my girl?

Uh, what?

No. No, Jake. I was just--

You know, Petey.

Ever since you moved

to Easter Falls,

you've bene a real cheese eater.

Yeah, cheese eater.

-Jake, leave the kid alone.

Shut up,

and don't talk

until after I talk to you.

-Oh, don't touch him!

-Hey, you heard him.

You got some balls,

or what, kid?

Ow!

This damn rabbit bit my finger!

Thomas, Larry, grab this dork.

Hey, Jake. Come on,

let's just go.

It'll be fine, okay?

Ain't nobody talking to you.

Hey, come on.

Don't do that to her!

Oh, no! Jake, don't hurt him!

-He's a harmless animal.

-Harmless?

Mandy, is this thing harmless?

-Uh-uh.

-Oh, man!

I can see the bone!

This, this thing

is a dangerous animal.

It's a monster.

And you know what we do

to monsters in Easter Falls?

-Do you?

-No.

We kill monsters.

-No, please.

-A monster.

-Kill the monster.

-Please, man. Come on.

Kill the monster.

-Kill the monster!

-Come on, man.

Kill the monster.

-Kill the monster.

-Please stop!

My side's hurting.

Kill the monster.

Please!

Oh, man.

Now, remember. I hate monsters.

Stay the hell away from my girl!

-Hey!

-It Principal Myers!

Peter.

-Who did this, Peter.

-Leave me alone.

Everyone just leave me alone.

Peter, wait.

Anna...

banana... bo-bana...

Well, 20 years later,

not much has changed.

At least, not yet that is.

I'm looking for

a town called Despair!

Who's here to save you?

Who? I can't here you!

That's right!

Head to Jake Mulligan.

Praise the lord!

God bless you! God bless you!

Bless you.

Oh, Reverend.

I need you to heal me.

I love you, my man!

In Jesus' name, you're healed!

Whoop! Hallelujah!

And welcome

to Mulligan Ministries.

Coming to you live from

the mountain top on high.

And now introducing

Pastor Jake Mulligan!

I'm so glad

to be here today with ya'll.

Now, as my worldwide

book tour comes to an end,

I need to thank you

for the hospitality

that you've shown me.

Now, it's my turn.

Jesus, I'm so excited

to tell them right now.

I'm so excited.

It's my turn

to give back to you.

With a brand new chapel

and outreach center

that god is building

in my hometown of Easter Falls!

- Hallelujah.

- Hallelujah!

- Hallelujah.

- Hallelujah!

Whoop! Praise Jesus.

- Praise Jesus.

- Now, to quote Jesus,

we're going to replace

the old with the new.

Ten thousand

square feet of Holiness.

Now with your

donations coming in,

we will break ground

this Easter weekend

with a special

Sunday devotional.

Now, I got to get

a little bit serious here.

Now, your donations,

they're pouring in,

and we're grateful,

god loves you.

But god needs more money.

God is knocking.

Are you going to deny god?

Or are you going

to open your heart

and open your wallet,

and help all of god's

little children?

Come here, Cameron.

Please help us,

-so god blesses all of you.

-Oh, come on!

Poop.

Oh, come on!

Stupid pizza!

...is just a phone call away.

-Hallelujah!

Whoop! I'm excited.

Are you excited?

Ginger?

Ginger!

Ginger? Ginger,

hey. I'm so sorry.

Spazzy asshole's

one-room crap hole.

-Peter?

-Hello?

- Uh, hey.

-Anna?

Pete, I'm sorry to call you so

late, but I'm in town tomorrow.

Would you care for a coffee?

Um.

Yes, yes! I mean, sure.

I mean, maybe. I have a--

If you're busy, you know--

No, no, no, no. I mean, I am.

I'm working, but, uh,

I'll move things around.

Anything for you, Anna.

Okay. So Harlow's Café? Nine?

Harlow's, nine, uh,

I will be there or be square.

Okay, bye.

Hey, it was really

great to hear your voice.

Oh, my god. It is so good.

Stupid reunions.

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Shit!

Operator.

Hello, US army, please.

Happen to have the number?

No, I don't have the number!

-Please hold.

-Thank you.

-United States army.

-Hello, yes. This is Dr. Stanley

from lab 6516.

You're going

to need to send help.

What kind of help

you looking for, son?

Send everyone.

So what I was saying

is that Safran's son is a direct

manifestation of Hamlet

in terms of plot

and character structure.

So what did you

do before enlisting?

English professor.

-Tenure?

-I got laid off.

That figures.

What was that?

Let's check this out.

-Are you sure?

-It's our job. Come on.

Alright.

What the hell happened

in here? The cage is open.

The cages are damaged.

They're probably still

in here. Might be hurt.

You okay in there?

There's something in here!

Come out, little rabbit.

Get back in your cage.

- Holy shit!

Hey.

Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

This is General Phelps.

I want a two-mile radius.

Nothing gets in or out

but authorized personnel.

Start the slaughter.

Can I get you anything?

More agua, granny!

I'm Gobi Desert parched!

What's wrong with you?

I mean, I'm so sorry.

Just some more water.

Oh, Anna! Hey!

Anna!

Hi, Peter.

You just are--I mean, wow!

-How are you?

-Uh,

-I can't believe I'm seeing you.

-Yeah.

-I got you coffee.

-Oh, thank you!

Yeah, I'm just drinking water

because I'm just

really thirsty right now.

I got you some eggs and toast.

No bacon because we don't want

to harm our little hoof friends.

Thank you.

And radishes! I need radishes!

You okay?

Yes. I've just been

under a lot of pressure

with this job that I'm doing.

Working, like 20-hour days,

you know?

What project?

Well, I can't really talk about

it because it's top secret.

-How's Darla?

-That filthy whore!

She was working

at a retail store.

She got together

with the manager of it.

And she left me.

So we're not together any more.

I'm sorry. That's heinous.

It happens.

It was really nice

of you to come all this way.

Um, well, actually, I'm just

here because of, you know,

Jake Mulligan's outreach center

he's building in Easter Falls.

You still talk to him?

No. We got divorced.

I hate him!

He's trying to demolish

my grandfather's church

and turn it into this

new studio for his ministry.

That is crazy! I mean, that

church has been there forever.

-Since before the town even!

-I know!

And it was granted historical

status, but he bribed someone

at the registrar's office,

and they changed the date

that they said it was built.

Such a flaming douche!

So the reunion is tonight.

Yeah, I hope the entire

gym collapses on them.

Unless you're there.

If you're there,

I don't want that to happen.

No, you have to go with me.

To Easter Falls High?

Yes!

-No.

-Yes!

-I can't.

-You have to!

I cannot do that.

He killed my best friend.

My only friend.

But that's all the more

reason why we have to sneak

into the registrar's office

while everyone

is at the reunion

and prove that Jake is a fraud!

I need you to be my wingman.

Your wingman?

I've never been a wingman.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hello?

My stomach hurts now.

I need to hit

the toilet for a moment.

If you don't mind, I, uh, um...

-Are you okay?

-I will be!

What the heck is that?

I've never seen

anything like it!

What on earth is wrong with me?

-Hey, want some crabs?

-Oh, shit!

I got these from the kitchen.

I'm not talking about the kind

you eat either!

Oh, god! I must

be losing my mind!

I got to get out of here!

Hey. Um, sorry.

Uh, I really, really, really,

got to get back to the lab.

Something very important came

up. I'm going to have to go.

But will you come tonight?

I mean, this kind of

scandal will crush a man of god.

Oh, yes. I will.

-Anything for you.

-I'll see you at seven.

Oh, oh, oh, yes.

You'll see me.

I'll be there. I'll at

the thingy to do the thingy.

Oh!

Oh, bananas.

What do I do?

What's happening to me?

Okay.

Holy Moses.

That came out of me?

Impossible.

Peter Cocken?

-It's Cotton.

-Whatever.

I need you to get with the

gettin' while the gettin's good.

I'd get with that, sir,

if I knew what that meant.

Means move this ward

down Victory Road.

Oh, Victory Road.

Is that in this neighborhood?

I've never heard of it.

I need your god damn serum, son.

Oh, the serum. Uh...

But there's some

problems with that.

I would suggest not.

And why not?

May I ask the general, sir,

why's he's interested

in fertility serum?

=Do you know who I am?

-General Phelps.

Which makes the mother fucker

that don't have to disclose

shit to you about why I want

something other than the fact

that I want it.

And you will get shit done,

'cause I'm also the mother

fucker that if I tell

your mother fucking ass to jump,

your mother fucking ass

better be spring loaded,

ready to jump off the

mother fucking building!

Yes, sir, General Dingle Dorf.

You really don't dick

around with me, son.

I'll cut your balls off,

stuff them up both

nostrils and make you eat shit

while I'm doing it.

Oh, that's disgusting.

News update!

-We're going dark

-Dark?

Dark. No on in or out

until Project MR is complete.

General, I don't have

any projects called MR.

And you!

-Cocken.

-Cotton.

Whatever.

I'd like to try

some of that serum.

Oh, uh, I have to warn

you some of my test subjects

had erections

for more than two weeks

after multiple stimulations.

You played with rabbit dick?

Um...

-Yes, sir.

-You're sick.

My jet fuel.

Uh...

Your jet fuel, sir.

Your jet fuel.

Good.

Very good.

-Uh, Dr. Lopez? I--

-Not now, Peter. Later.

Later, Peter. Later!

Later. Peter, later!

General!

What are these?

Oh, oh! So sharp!

Nightmare rabbit!

Oh, I feel the mother-load.

I'm not going to make it!

There she blows!

Oh, bogus!

I can't take it. Somebody help!

Oh!

Whiskery, isn't it?

Oh, my back!

Oh, what do you care?

You're spineless anyway.

You don't stop me now.

It's rabbit time!

Stop whimpering

you little wussy!

The ladies are going

to love this!

I got to get to the lab!

Lopez, researching rabbits

so that people can screw longer?

Hell... no.

But... Still donkey dick.

I couldn't agree more.

Hit the lights.

My god. Mike! That's Mike!

I don't want to kill

your assistant, Lopez.

The way I see it,

everyone should do their

duty for god and country.

Amen to that.

We outfitted the MR with

a brain manipulation device.

-That's impossible.

-Hardly.

Start the test.

America the beautiful.

Major, find out how to make

more of these things ASAP.

Yes, sir.

Oh, boy.

I really am a genius.

Now, if you all excuse me,

I have a date with destiny.

Please get out of my head!

It's my head now!

Hi. Pastor Jake Mulligan

with Mulligan Ministries.

This weekend is a very special

weekend. It's Easter Weekend.

So I'm running

a special on baptism.

It's only 19.95 per person.

All day Sunday,

only 19.95 per person.

Half price for midgets,

children, and retards.

What do you think about that?

Alright, son. Come here.

Do you take Jesus Christ

as your lord and savior?

Oh, lord. Yes, I do.

-Hallelujah.

-Hallelujah!

Alright! Now Jesus Christ,

there you are.

How are you going to get saved?

How are you going to get healed?

How are you going to go

to heaven for only 19.95.

Tell me that. Ain't no way!

And if ain't baptized,

you're going to hell.

And that's a fact!

Power to Jesus Christ! 19.95,

that's all there is to it.

Uh, son?

He said he could hold

his breath for two minutes.

What's going on? Son?

Son, are you alright?

Anyway, this weekend only.

Use the special 19.95.

Come on in! 19.95! 19.95!

Can somebody get this

guy off of set, please?

Harry! What took you so long?

Daddy's home.

He has a surprise for you.

You know I love surprises.

Daddy's got some jet fuel, baby.

And this time, my rocket's

going to blast off.

Look at that.

Guaranteed to last for hours.

Maybe even days.

No, no, no, no!

I'll have you pounded for

everything you've done here.

This is the work of a mad man!

You have no idea

what I've done here!

And now using

the mind control device,

I can increase

the MR's homicidal tendencies

by 200 percent!

'Cause I am a genius!

Shit!

No, no, no, no!

No! Shit! Shit! Shit!

Smooth move.

Smooth move, genius!

Sound the alarm!

Daddy's home.

What in daddy's

dick is going on?

-Hello?

-Yeah, this is General Phelps.

- Where are you going?

- Stay here.

Hey, babe.

Daddy's got to handle some shit.

Oh, my foot! No!

What's happening to me?

Oh, god! My serum!

You! Dr. Stanley, you--

Thank you, Dr. Stanley.

Finally, you did

something good for me.

I need my serum!

I've got to have more

around here somewhere!

You're never going

to get that serum!

I'm here now!

I don't want to change!

I don't--Oh, god!

Please!

Hello? Operator?

-Get me a--

-A veterinarian!

Oh, help me!

It's over now, Peter.

Are there

any survivors down there?

Are there any

survivors down there?

We are coming to help you.

We have the building

in lockdown. Do not move.

Shit.

Identify yourself.

I said identify yourself,

god dammit.

It's out! It's out!

You damn pussy!

Never run from a fight.

Oh, shit!

Oh, for real?

And I'll kill you, bitch!

No!

Stop! Don't hurt my bunny!

Cocken? Is that you?

No, Cotton's gone.

It's Rotten tail now!

What the fuck

is wrong with you, pussy?

My friend!

See? That's why guys

like me loath guys like you.

-Please stop!

-We get all the hot bitches,

and you go home to jack off

rabbits to fantasy island.

I like fantasy island!

Say goodbye

to your little friend.

No!

Go back to your lab.

I got a mess to clean up.

This is General Phelps.

Where the hell is Major Donald?

Bunny strong!

-Bunny!

-What the fuck?

Feels like choking the chicken,

doesn't it,

General Dingle Dorf, huh?

That's what I call

getting some head!

Oh! Oh, look at that.

Oh, how sad!

Another "fallen soldier."

Wait.

I smell a wilting rose.

Looks like your

destiny is my destiny now!

Help.

Help!

Who am I?

Well, I am your new honey bunny.

The general has gone AWOL,

and he left me in charge.

Really? It's that small?

Um, perhaps we

need a snake charmer.

It does resemble two

blueberries right now.

Let's do it bunny style.

Flip over like a pancake!

That was only

round one! Ding, ding!

Round two!

Of course, I remember you.

Really?

No. I mean, are you

sure you went to this school?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Watch your head, Ted.

This ought to liven

things up, don't you think?

You'll never get away with this.

Well, it looks

like I already did.

My grandfather's church

is a historical monument!

Well, now. It's not

on the registry, is it?

You made Ted

change those records.

He would do anything for you!

Now, Ted is a loyal

follower, that's true.

But he would

never do such a thing.

Anna?

Looking good.

-Wow!

-Hey, Thomas. Be cool.

-Show the lady some respect.

-Jake!

Oh, Jake!

This party sucks.

I just spiked the punch,

so things should be

kicking in any minute.

Oh, gag me with a spoon.

Oh, hey, Anna.

Good to see you're

still looking about 12.

Better than 50.

Anyways.

-Oh, now. That's naughty.

-Right?

Cut that out.

Alright. We'll see

you later, Anna.

Jake, I'm going to stop you.

My grandfather's

church will not fall.

Ain't no one going

to stop my empire.

Go on, get in the way,

and they'll all be

talking about the lake.

What lake?

The lake they found

your dead body in.

See ya.

Peter, where are you?

Channel 69 finally

knocked you out, did it?

That's what happens

when you put a light weight up

with this heavy weight.

Who's here to save you?

Hallelujah! Praise the lord!

Hello, I'm Pastor Jake

of Mulligan Ministries.

You know, I'd like to do right

now is get personal with you

if that's okay.

Why don't we bring it in?

Who the hell is this?

Are you feeling alone?

Are you feeling like

you want to get out of here,

or escape?

Retain your inner monster?

I know how you feel--

My nemesis is on the premises!

Let me exorcise

the demons from your flesh.

All you got to do is

pick up the phone right now.

Just pick up

that phone and call--

I guess Easter Falls

is calling after all.

It's okay if you want to cry.

Camouflage, perfect.

They'll never see me in this.

- Oh, darn fingernails.

Oh. Going to need a pedicure.

Ugh, I'm late.

I'm late for a

very important date.

Got to get off, toots.

Nothing like a smoke.

I feel like a million bucks.

I want to go spin myself.

Someone's coming

up the elevator.

Dean, join two. You stay here.

Happy to.

No wonder that moron

Peter always took the stairs.

This darn thing takes forever.

They should put

on some decent elevator music.

This is pitiful!

Finally!

Freeze!

Oh.

I don't assume you got

any pharmacy around here.

-Shut up!

-Oh, I'm surrounded by

a bunch of dipsticks.

What are you?

Well, I am like holiday session.

But for you ignorant humans,

that means that

I am a rabbit man.

I mean, not like a rabbit man,

but a rabbit man!

Shut up and come

out with your hands up!

Raise my hands? Oh,

we're raising the roof, huh?

I do like to boogie!

And in fact, my favorite

thing to do is...

Does big baby want a bottle?

Anyone else? Anyone?

Told you!

You're are so

awesome, Rotten tail.

What the hell was that?

Yeah, no. I thought

I'd be home by now.

That's okay.

Just put my dinner in the

fridge and I'll warm it up.

Okay, okay.

I'll see you when I get home.

I love you, too.

Yeah, have a glass of wine.

Do that, too.

I gotta go!

Get on the horn.

I want everybody on the horn.

Hello?

That's right. Get 'em

out here. Everybody.

Everybody.

Oh, she's a naughty girl!

-Hey.

-What?

What are you going

to do about that bitch, Anna?

Look, she files

a complaint with the state.

She says we're destroying

a historical building.

Well, you are.

I need the land, dammit!

It's sitting on top of

the largest gold deposit

in all the south-west.

We're trying to build a church.

Dammit! How many

times have I told you?

You don't listen!

You do too much cocaine.

Now listen to

me when I tell you.

Here's what we're

gonna do. Remember this.

Break ground

discover gold

-praise god!

-Praise god!

-I think you're killing her.

She's all right.

You all right down there?

You all right?

You OK?

All right, it's all right.

Let's get down one more time.

Baptism! Baptism!

So praise god, right?

-Praise god.

-Praise god!

And we're gonna have a brand-new

broadcast center. That's right!

And there's

no way I'm gonna relocate.

to Easter Falls.

This place is a shithole.

Praise god.

Hey, take these for the trip.

Watch it.

Boss?

-What's up?

-You need to come see this. Now.

It better be important!

Shit. All right,

let me get my beer.

I'll see you later,

honey. Just stay right here!

This better be good!

Shit. I feel a

little sick to my stomach.

Throw up.

Hey, ladies.

Ah, come on!

Get there faster

on the back of a snail!

Right in the eyeball. Wow.

Huh? Who's that?

What do you want?

Huh? Oh yeah. Go round.

Go on, go around me.

Hey! Go around me!

Jerk off!

Whoa!

Get rocks, soldier!

Sit on it! Spin!

Oh, oh, oh!

Now you know.

Now, come on, Ted.

Didn't I tell you to get

rid of that mineral survey?

I can't destroy City documents!

That would be lying,

and lying is a sin.

"Lying's a sin."

Oh, sin, huh?

What, and changing the date on

the construction of the church?

What was that?

Sit down.

God told us to do that

when we spoke to him.

What does it matter

what's under the ground?

Everything, Ted!

Now there are

agents of the devil.

Demons!

And they are out to destroy us.

You understand me?

And she is a demon!

She don't look like a demon...

Oh, she don't look like a demon?

How do you know?

You ever seen one?

Huh? Oh, you never seen one?

Then how do you know?

I'm sorry, Pastor.

Ted.

We, we've been on

a lot of hunting trips together

haven't we?

-Yes, sir.

Why!

-Are you failing me?

-Uhh...

-I...

-What?

I what?

I don't know!

Oh, Ted.

Now that was the wrong answer.

You believe in Jesus, right?

Make sure you

tell him I say hello.

Whoo!

Goddamn!

Where's his head?

Look at that!

Get out of my way! Look it here!

-It's clean gone!

-Holy sh--

Whoo! Look at that!

You ever seen that before?

Goddamn, I've

never seen that before!

Whoo!

-It's a magic trick!

-Some pretty fucked-up shit.

Hey, he knew too much.

It was time for him to go.

Who's gonna

fucking clean this up?

You're gonna clean it up.

You're gonna take care of this

and find a nice

lake for the body.

You! I want you to go

get Anna and the documents.

Tie her up in the

basement of the church.

And, oh, make sure she wears

something real nice and pretty.

Low-cut like there.

Look here! Look at that!

There's still, there's

still blood coming out!

Goddamn!

Oh.

What?

Come on.

Dang it!

I'm out of gas!

Man, I'm telling you.

Sitting at the desk...

reading the paper...

Delta Forces run in

fully loaded to the max, man.

And then, boom!

The elevator door pops open.

This huge bunny man pops out

kicks all their asses, man.

I mean, he takes

them down, AK47s and all.

One minute he's there,

one minute he's not.

There is no such

thing as a bunny man.

-What?

-It was a real bunny man, man!

That is one crazy story!

I wish I was there for it.

It's the bunny man, man!

What the fuck?

Where'd everybody go?

Something I said?

Oh, funky.

I'll show the world...

what a genius I really am.

Stupid Lopez.

Heh!

There is absolutely nothing.

Yes.

Stanley, I've been

looking all over for you.

What are you doing in the attic?

Play with my toys.

Waiting for electrical storms.

I don't know. I just need power!

Power is the key!

We've accounted for all of our

staff, except for Peter Cotton.

Ah, he's probably dead anyway.

Good riddance.

It's a complete waste of space

but boy, do I love this serum!

Did Phelps a treat or two.

I don't think so.

Oh god.

Kind of busy here.

That dirty rotten s.o.b. was

trying to steal

the glory for himself!

We want orders to take him out.

Yes.

No, no, no, no!

No, no, no, I don't-

I need to study him.

Yeah, I mean, I need to

understand what happened.

So I can stabilize the...

change...

Or else, if we don't,

you know, he might mutate

beyond anyone's control...

Yeah... mmm...

Turn lucid and...

kill everyone in his sight.

You know,

if I had a couple of weeks

some time

to study him

maybe I can bring old

Phelpsie back to life...

Afraid that's not possible.

Orders are orders.

And Peter Cotton's a dead man.

Or everyone else.

Damn, dammit, dammit.

Hey! I'm coming for you!

Jakester...

Wait a second.

Wonder what Anna's up to.

Maybe I should see her.

Might be able to

catch her in a g-string.

Left turn!

But he's been going

around and lying to everyone!

I know! This was never about

the church.

This was about gold, Mom.

You look so... pretty tonight.

Ohh, I'd like to

eat you like a carrot.

Wait!

Lost a pussy, but...

Lost in this fucking leotard!

Fuck!

You

need to broaden your horizons.

Uhh, could you just

hold on for one sec?

False alarm.

It's just my asshole neighbors.

OK. All right.

Well, how was the reunion?

Well, huh, huh...

Let me tell you, it was

great.

Peter stood me up.

Mom, no! I don't like him.

I'm, I'm with Bob.

Bob is my boyfriend,

and he has a name.

I know you hate cops.

OK, Mom. Well, I'm gonna

I'm gonna hit the hay.

Bobby, Bobberino!

If I chopped

her arms and legs off

and threw you in the

ocean, I'd still call you Bob.

Hey, baby.

I gotta go.

Look at what I got ya.

Stealing my

chocolate Easter bunny!

I'm coming for you, Bobby Bob!

I gotta tell you something.

Oh, I gotta get out of there.

Oh, my head.

I can't take it.

You know what I want boy?

You son of a traitor!

Quiet here!

Got work to do.

Back in town, your rodents and

I are here to make a change!

Ha, I guess we're

early, but first, oh well

I'll improvise.

Tommy boy, let's go!

Wakey, wakey!

I said wakey!

Jesus Christ!

Is he here too, oh?

Oh, oh, oh!

You are referring to me, huh?

Yes, uhh, uhh, we do bear a s-

striking resemblance, don't we?

Only, he died

for our sins

and I

am going to kill you

for yours!

Tommy Tom!

-You know my name?

-Oh.

Oh, you don't recognize me?

Have I changed that much?

Oh, maybe

I'll give you a hint, then, huh?

"Please don't kill my rabbit!"

It's not

the Peter

any more, huh?

And now I am rotten

to the core!

Rotten!

Rottentail!

What kind of people do-?

-I hope you are hungry, Tommy.

-No, no, no!

Because I just laid these eggs

myself!

And these eggs!

Are definitely!

Not!

Made of!

Chocolate!

Oh, my head's killing me.

Oh, god, I wish a dive-bar

I'll do a

a half-gain right into it.

Hey, pal?

Just got my heart broken.

I need two slipperino

pulled in my mouth now.

Dude.

Why don't you

just take that mask off?

Oh god.

Been a rough night.

"Sex on the Beach"

should be great.

Listen, man...

You gotta take that mask off

or get the fuck out of the bar.

Fine, fine, fine. Just give me

uhh, three blow-jobs

and we'll call it a night.

-Listen, asshole-

-Hey!

You gotta take the mask--

I guess drinks are on the house!

Oh! Darts!

I love darts!

We will show all of them.

Show that Peter!

How would I-

It is time!

It is time, my friend!

Live!

Gave you everything.

Everything I've got.

Yes!

I need the power!

Everything!

Everything we have!

Yes.

Live for me!

Live, for me!

Yes!

Oh, the lightning!

You're alive!

It's alive!

Yes!

Oh, Mr. Phelps,

you will have your revenge.

We will show that

rabbit who is boss!

And who's a genius around here!

Oh, my head!

Ah, Easter Falls, I'm coming!

Oh, Easter will never be

the same when I'm done with you!

Just need a...

few more minutes of sleep here.

Little bitty nap.

What are those? Easter eggs?

I think it's shit.

Oh god.

Do you have any enemies?

Yeah, you bet I do! The devil.

How many more stupid

questions I gotta answer?

Go find the killer.

Hey, padre, if you're

a little more respectful

this is gonna go a lot smoother.

OK, Sheriff Porky Pig.

-Hey, asshole!

-Hey! Enough!

We have a big

dedication tonight.

We need to get going.

All right, I'm sorry. I forgot.

I'm rich. He's an asshole.

And you should do your job

make sure the

dedication is safe.

How's that sound?

Yeah, I'll work on that.

All right, Matlock. You do that.

I got people coming at ten.

Think someone's trying

to send us a message.

Let's say what we're gonna do,

we're gonna stick to the plan.

But...

we blow this place tonight.

You don't have a permit.

That's right.

You see, it's an accident.

"Oh, I'm sorry.

And, oh, lookee here!"

We've found gold!

I'll do some speaking in tongues

that'll impress 'em.

Now you get to work.

I want this

place leveled tonight.

Whatever you say, boss.

Get going.

What?

Oh my god! Your friend has died

and all you care about is gold?

-Asshole!

-Not just gold!

It's a billion

dollars' worth of gold.

Let's have some smiles!

All right? Dedication...

praise god...

-damn!

-Praise god!

Praise god. There you go.

Now get going. Let's go.

-Move!

-Praise god.

-Out the door!

-Praise god.

Come on, man. Let's go.

Get some of them,

uhh, Easter eggs.

Hey, don't touch that!

It's a turd!

Goddamn!

Hey, can we get

a coroner over here?

Sheriff...

You know it's Easter.

It's gonna be impossible

getting anybody

out there until tomorrow.

Oh! Busted!

Aha!

A little facial reconstruction.

Now that's how

you turn a two by four

into a two by gore!

Hey, wait a second.

This means Anna's single again.

Aces! Aces! Ha!

Heh? What's all the racket?

Oh!

Raffle, uhh...

Hate kids.

That's too noisy.

Their festivities is killing me!

And I'm starving!

Oh yeah, you got that special--

Hey, Tim, sweetie!

Kids.

Where is the Easter Bunny?

I want to see the Easter Bunny.

Mommy,

where is the Easter Bunny?

Where is Jake?

Busy. Busy!

He's... he's busy, all right?

Listen, Coke-whore Barbie.

This is my grandfather's

church that you're desecrating!

That's not what the deed says!

We bought it...

uhh, so we own it. Not you.

What the hell?

Uhh, happy Easter!

Yeah. OK. Whatever.

I was just passing through

on my way to take a poop.

This... Oh, OK. You know what?

Thank goodness.

I was not gonna fit in

that fucking bunny suit--

Hello, Anna Banana.

It's the Easter Bunny!

Gross. Stinky.

Excuse you.

Wait. Wait, what are you doing?

Are you ready for

the Easter Bunny, kids?

It's easy. Just sit down, and

give them whatever they want.

-I have an appointment.

-Sit down!

Sit down. Just tell the brats

what they'd like to hear,

and then, uhh... you'll be done.

I'm gonna deal with you

later, I can promise you that.

I love Easter!

Go on, spit it out,

just don't get it on me.

I want a scooter for Easter.

-What?

-A scooter.

Scooter? You know the one

I crashed over on

the highway over there.

But my mom says I can

have anything I want.

Do I look like

Santa Claus to you, huh?

Go on, beat it.

Scram! By the way...

Hey, kid, Santa's not real.

Next!

Ohh, chocolate!

I want a new skateboard...

-Oh, you'll get nothing like it!

-Hey, that's mine!

-Hey, what are you doing?

-I'm going on my lunch break.

Move out of the way.

What the hell are

you doing, you bastard?

There's kids

out there waiting still.

Uhh, what, hey,

uhh... Tell you what?

Let's wrap this conversation up

have some fun, shall we?

Think what we're gonna do is

turn you into an Easter basket!

Bibbidy-bobbidy!

Hey, come and go! Personal! Ha!

Uhh, no basket.

There we go.

Very different Hubby Bubby, huh?

That's a lot of

blood for an airhead!

Oh.

Oh, probably

better bury this body.

Oh well.

-Rousing sermon.

-Oh, you liked it?

Yeah, especially the part about

liars being thrust down to hell.

Look, I wanna

do something special.

OK? For your grandfather.

I wanna do a dedication.

All right?

Please give me a chance.

I'm sorry about all this.

Can I just show you something?

I think you're gonna like it.

Please?

Come on? I bet you'll like it.

Come on in for a second.

Let me just, close this door...

What you did

this morning was sick!

I will give you

one last chance to walk away

before I call the FBI.

Sorry, honey.

You're not going anywhere.

Whoo!

Hey, shut up!

Shut up! Hey!

Shut up!

Are you gonna scream

if I take off your tape?

All right.

-Fuck you!

-Hey! Better watch your mouth.

You get one of those, next

time I'll pop you in the face.

-You hear me?

-You didn't have to kill him.

I'm telling you,

I didn't kill him.

Somebody's been

knocking off my people.

And I found Thomas dead

his eyeballs ripped out,

shit stuffed in his face.

Peter.

You talking

about the Cotton kid?

No, it's a pro.

Looking to squirrel

the land from me before I do.

Listen to me, you prick!

Peter came back

into town for a reason.

He's still angry at you

for killing his bunny.

Well, shit.

That is a little weird.

What's his number?

-What?

-What's his telephone number?

Huh? We're gonna call him up.

We'll see what's going on.

-Five, five, five--

-Oh! Hey, slow down!

-Five.

-Seven.

-Four.

Three, eight.

One at a time!

-Eight

-OK.

Star Chewing Gum,

how may I direct your call?

Oh yeah. Hello, uhh...

Peter Cotton, please?

Please hold.

OK. They put me on hold.

Hello.

- We need your exact location.

-Wow.

Oh, no.

Who the hell is this,

uhh, demanding my location?

This is Major Ronald

Donnelly of the U.S. Army.

Oh. Well, Ronald, this is pastor

Jake Mulligan,

of Mulligan Ministries.

And I'm looking

for one Peter Cotton.

Now I got a friend here

says he's hopping around

our town causing trouble.

So I just want to prove

to her that he's in Phoenix

being a good boy.

I need your location!

-What?

- I need your location now.

It's a matter

of national security.

OK, OK, calm down.

I'm in Easter Falls!

Hello?

Shit. They hung up.

Thank you.

Little Peter Rabbit

is in Easter Falls.

Easter

Falls.

Kill

the rabbit.

Kill

the rabbit.

Bring me his brains!

Kill that rabbit!

Ladies and gentlemen

happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

I'm here to say a few words

about Reverend Jake Mulligan.

I don't think he's

gonna like it very much.

Uh-oh!

I've known

Jake since high school

and believe me, I'm just

as surprised as all of you

about what we have here.

I couldn't be happier

that the world headquarters

of Mulligan Ministries

will be right

here in Easter Falls.

Hallelujah!

Oh, come on!

You ain't seen

nothing yet, Mayor Pootybooty.

Because I have seen Jakey Jake

at his hippity-hoppity worst!

That's Cotton.

Fellas? Uhh, Mr Bunny?

Welcome.

Now even though today

is the day of the resurrection

we still have plenty of

room to share with you.

I've heard

it all before, Jakester.

What about bullies, huh?

-Bullies?

-Bullies that harm innocent

furry little friends, huh?

Bullies are bad.

Never innocent, that's right.

Oh, you know about that

wouldn't you, bully boy?

Grab him, fellas!

Oh!

Shove off, poser!

Testing, testing.

Is this thing on?

Testing, testing!

I want all of

Easter Falls to know

that this man

is a murderer!

Of rabbits!

He's a rabbit killer!

He murdered my pet bunny

and he's gonna

kill all of yours, too!

Doesn't sound that bad.

[crowd screaming

Oh, you'll be mine.

Hey, Jake! Catch!

Hello, ladies and germs!

The prodigal son returns!

That's the one.

I never made the team,

but look at me now, Ma!

Where's that?

Oh!

Oh, smart.

Oh, that burnt like chlamydia!

Command,

this is Sargent Slaughter.

Ghost Command.

Peter Cotton has been hit.

However,

the shot was ineffective.

I repeat, ineffective.

Dammit, Slaughter,

I'm sending in the Air Force.

You bring me his brain.

Yes, sir.

Eagle One.

Here I am.

Wheels up into the target.

Copy that, Eagle one.

You are cleared hot.

Happy hunting.

Get out of here! Now!

Hey! Boy

you were right.

You were right, dammit!

Let's play ball.

Let's play ball, OK?

Shit! What was that?

Damn!

Get up! Go!

-Get up!

-Go!

Shit!

Get up! Now!

Yo, Cotton! Hey!

That's far enough.

Far enough! Right there.

Goddamn!

What happened to your face?

Peter?

-That you?

-Huh, pretty stupid, hey?

The looks of things, Peter

there's a reward on your head...

I'm gonna collect, boy!

-Wanted, dear or alive, am I?

-Yeah.

Well, I don't

want you alive at all!

I want you

dead as a doorknob!

Come and get it!

You bitch!

Peter!

Please, can I please-

Please give me a second chance.

Peter, please give me

a second chance, please?

Second chance?

For you?

Did my furry little friend

get any second chances?

No!

Zero! Zilch-o!

You broke his neck

and now, Jakey Jake

I'm gonna break yours!

Slaughter, report!

Sir, that big rabbit

is inside the church.

And we got the

church surrounded.

-Sir!

-Good!

Sir! Sir, we lost our flank.

By who? You said he was

in there. Is he in there, grunt?

Sir! It's General Phelps.

Impossible!

-Get me the President!

-Yes, sir!

Peter! Stop!

You have to stop it!

You have to

stop all this killing.

This isn't like

you. This isn't right!

Peter dead. Uhh...

No...

He's alive.

He's still inside you.

I can see him.

And I can see me

inside of you, too!

Cotton!

Oh. Shit.

It's him again, huh?

Hold that thought.

Oh, you look like

a man who wants to tango!

Or maybe do

the horizontal mambo!

Like I did with

your wife last night!

Forget I said that.

I wasn't expecting that.

My turn!

How did you get so strong?

Peter! No!

Where is that?

-Oh, my pelvis!

-No!

Stop!

Freeze!

Peter...

Who the fuck are you?

I'm Doctor Stanley.

Sorry, I'd love to chat.

There's an

air strike any minute.

I need to call

it off. I'm sorry.

Hello?

Yes. Gafta, Gafta.

Doctor Stanley here.

Peter is down. Peter is down.

Repeat, he is down.

Peter is down.

I repeat, Peter is down.

What are you saying?

Where on god's

green garden am I?

Well...

Oh!

I know what this is.

This is one of those moments

where I get to choose

whether I want to be some

uhh, etheric

being of an ether fucking around

doing a whole

next to a lot of nothing

or

go back to be

Rottentail one more time.

Kick some butt,

have a lot of fun.

Ohh...

Oh boy, decisions, decisions.

- Yeah, Peter is down.

-Shit.

- Peter is down.

-Ohh.

Yes.

OK.

Well, I need to

harvest his brain, so...

OK.

Come on.

-Oh.

-The General is back!

And I'm still

king of the jungle, bitch!

King mother-fucking Kong!

Ohh boy.

Decisions, decisions.

Oh, I'm bad. I'm so

bad at making choices!

Shit, this is not good!

This is not good.

I suggest everybody just run!

Which way?

Far, far away!

Whoa! Let's go!

You know what

I hate most about rabbits?

Whining little... bitch!

Oh shit.

Oh! What? Oh, shit!

Oh, shoot!

Oh, no!

Oh, wow! Shoot!

Oh, fine.

You win!

Rottentail it is!

Hey, Dingledork!

Killing a rabbit

is a very bad habit!

I told you, you should

have left that to your lab!

You bitch!

grunting]

Walk like a lily-pad!

Kick like a kangaroo!

Normally, I'm vegan, but

uhh, what the heck?

Now for a kick!

Peter Cotton

is that all you've got?

Bring it on!

grunting]

Time to put my foot down!

No more Dingledork.

No more

uhh, Jay Kay, Jake.

I want you

to pull your men back.

I have direct orders to

wipe this place off the map.

Yes, sir. I will do it.

-Call in that airstrike.

-Yes, sir.

Fall back!

Twenty miles.

Five thousand miles.

Stealth situation.

Peter!

You have to go, save yourself.

No, I can't. I can't leave you.

Listen.

Peter wants you sniffing roses

not pushing up daisies.

Listen...

It's what Peter wants.

He wants you to live.

He wants you

to have a long life

and to see you

in the next one, I promise.

Oh, Peter...

Please, Anna. Go!

Ohh...

Go...

Please go!

OK, OK.

Don't worry. Peter loves you.

Five, five, five, five...

Tango Foxtrot.

Oh, shit, I'm gonna die.

Awesome.

Hey, ma'am? Is it bad I'm

glad the Easter Bunny is dead?

No, sweetheart. It's not bad.

Slut!

You go back and get my dick!

Now! That's an order!

That's an order, goddammit!

-Push!

-I can't!

You need to push!

-Come on!

-No, I can't!

One more push!

Come on!

-Push!

-I can't!

-Yes, you can!

-I can't!

-Come on, baby!

-Yes, you can!

-Push! Push!

-Come on!

Push, bitch!

Try harder!

-I can't!

Push!

Again!

It's coming! I see it!

It's coming!

Tell me now...

what's going on?

Give it to me! Come on!

One more push!

That's it!

Yeah!

What in Daddy's dick is that?

Oh shit.

Fucking hell!

This ain't my child!

The kid is...

is white!

It doesn't matter

how ugly you are.

You can still be my baby!

What?

No!

Hi. I'm Pastor Jake

Mulligan of Mulligan Ministries.

Let me ask you a question...

Do you have a...

maybe a strange teenage son

or teenage daughter

uhh, maybe your

teenage son or nephew

doesn't like

football or baseball.

Maybe he hasn't

shown any interest

in, uhh, girls.

Well, that's OK

Oh, this better be wine!

This is grape juice...

I'm gonna be pissed!

And it's grape juice.

Goddammit!

What did I tell you all?

I want red wine

for blood of Jesus. Jesus juice!

Now go get me some wine!

Goddamn!

How's Pastor Jake

gonna get anything done

without Jesus juice?

There it is- oh,

there's some duck feathers!

Bring 'em in,

more duck feathers.

When Pastor

Jake says, duck feathers!

Bring me duck feathers!

Damn!

This is nowhere near enough!

Honey, can you get

I started shaking like crazy.

I'm nervous!

I always get

nervous right before the-

Dammit, who's doing the smoke?

Oh god, I don't

know if I can do it today.

I'm telling you, I think

I drank a little too much.

There we go.

As a lamb...

Is that a lamb

or a deer, what is that?

Goddammit,

that's not a lamb, is it?

It looks like a fucking deer!

What the fuck

is this thing here?

This is no goddamn lamb!

Well, Pastor Jake wants a lamb

the lamb of Jesus, dammit!

We've got to deal with

many different kinds of minds.
