- [Minister] You want a lift?

- [Bruno] Right, padre, let's get it in gear.

- Okay-

You could of got killed.

You're lucky I stopped,

jumping out in front of me like that.

That's why we've all gotta be prepared to meet our maker.

- Nobody was stopping.

I was getting desperate.

- What happened to your car?

- Tire blew.

Nobody takes care of their stuff anymore.

- What?

- Now this,

this is a real cream puff.

Yeah, this is definitely more like what I need.

None of the Jap crap for me anymore.

Yeah, this'll do just fine.

(ominous music)

Pull over to the side of the road, padre.

(letter crunching)

- Son, I, I know that God put me on the road today

to redirect your path of life,

to raise you up from the dregs of illicit sin,

to show you the wickedness of your past life,

to make Jesus Christ your savior.

Praise, praise the Lord.

- Shit if you don't sound just like my old man did

when I was a little kid, just minding my own business.

Every time he got stinkin' drunk

he'd beat the fear of Jesus into me!

I can still smell his foul breath!

- Yes, thou I walk through the valley of shadow of death,

- Oh, no.

(car engine roaring)

(car door bangs)

- That's not a very hospitable way

to act toward a man of the cloth!

- Ow.

- I guess I'll just have to punish you

for all your sinful thoughts, acts and deeds.

- God, no, please don't, don't.

I'll do anything just don't, not the gun.

- Maybe you can be saved.

(Magnolia coughing)

Maybe with a little lip service. (laughs)

Pull down that road over by those trees.

(car door clicks)

Yeah, your oil's all right here, sir.

Just a minute, I gotta go tend to Missy.

Magnolia, can I give ya hand here?

- No, thanks, Chuck.

- You sure?

- (scoffs) I kinda enjoy doing it myself.

- Well, what about your windows?

You got some bug splatter on 'em.

- Thank you.

I promised Larry, it's his favorite.

- Oh.

- Maybe next time.

- Next time, next time?

(Magnolia scoffs)

Well, I'll let you fill it up.

I gotta take care of that stranger over there.

- Thank you.

- I'll put it on the tab.

She sure is something, ain't she?

- She certainly does enjoy self-service.

' Oh:

Oh, you should of been here last week

when she did the lube job to herself, boy, oh, boy,

but you're okay here.

Good for another 10,000 miles.

- Magnolia, just look at you.

Is that a bruise I see on your cheek?

Are your nylons run?

I cannot believe my eyes.

Missy, how many times do I have to tell you

not to let men take advantage of you like that.

It's just not normal.

-Auntie Lee, it just happened.

I swear I tried to get away

but it was too late, he was too big, too strong.

- Oh, it's just that damn Italian blood in you.

I never could get your mother

to stay away from those puny little greaseballs

and their elevator shoes.

- I couldn't stop him.

I mean he must of weighed at least 250 pounds.

What could I do?

- Well, you... 250 pounds?

You go on inside now and clean up.

Larry, come on over here now and take care of the car.

The backseat needs to be emptied.

- Right away, Auntie Lee.

Larry does it right away.

- You're very sweet, Mr. Pasquale.

- Um, I always look forward to your return, Fawn.

- I know, I've seen you watching.

- Let me help you with those, eh.

- [Fawn] Why thank you, Mr. Pasquale.

- She's uh, my pleasure.

(Mrs. Pasquale clears throat)

- Fawn, how nice to see your meat pies.

- Your meat pies have certainly

caught on with our customers.

They're in constant demand.

- It's our secret blend of herbs and spices.

- I know.

If, if only I had the franchise for Penance.

- Now, Mr. Pasquale, you know we'd love to,

but with our overhead we need as many outlets as possible.

- (speaks in foreign language) It doesn't hurt to ask.

(Mr. Pasquale and Fawn laughing)

I'll see you next week, Fawn.

Wednesday.

- With bells on.

- If you ask me tassels would be more appropriate.

(Mr. Pasquale grunts)

- Mrs. Pasquale.

- [Mr. Pasquale] Bye-bye.

- [Mrs. Pasquale] Hussy.

- [Fawn] Want a lift?

- [Bob] Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.

- Huh.

- My name's Fawn, Fawn Lee.

- Bob, Bob Evans, Ms. Lee.

- Fawn.

- Fawn.

- So how far are you going, Bob?

-All the way if I can.

- Huh?

- I mean to San Francisco.

-Hmm.

Are you expected in San Francisco?

- Nah, actually I'm just following the wind.

- Come on, a handsome fella like you,

no pretty girl's waiting for you, no ties.

- The only ties I ever had I donated to Goodwill.

(Fawn laughs) (siren wailing)

Whoa! - Hello there, Fawn.

Just watch that speed now, honey, okay?

- Okay-

So I take it you're running from the police.

(BOX) grunts)

- Actually walking until you came along.

(Fawn giggles)

- Was it rape?

- Uh, would you believe Carmen's Coffee Shop

for the breakfast tab?

I bailed out their bathroom window.

- I'm surprised Chief Koal hasn't set up roadblocks yet.

- Say is he always that friendly?

- Uh-uh, I think he's in love with me.

So I bet being on the lamb

really works up a healthy appetite.

Would you like some lunch?

- I'd love it, but I'm a vegetarian, Fawn,

and Auntie Lee's meat pies aren't really my thing.

- Hey, whatever turns you on.

But don't worry, I'm sure I can whip up something

that even a vegetarian would like to get his hands on.

- (laughs) I can believe that.

- So here it is, be it ever so humble.

- Whoa, man!

Now this is a nice little spread you got here.

- Well, it's half house and half bakery.

Sometimes it feels like all bakery.

How's Baby feeling, Larry?

- She's still got rash.

(truck door bangs)

- It'll pass.

Dr. Killian changed her formula.

Larry, put the truck in the barn.

Come on.

- Is there some place a little more off the beaten track

that we can go to, maybe a bit more private?

- Yeah, my room, but first let me see where Auntie Lee is.

(Bob laughs)

You are lean.

Wait just a minute.

Auntie's probably in the basement

processing today's shipment of beef. (giggles)

- That sounds great,

but whatever you do don't invite her up.

- Auntie's really not the menage a trots type.

She says it's so- - Oh!

- [Fawn] Degrading. (giggles)

- Hurry back.

(Bob sniffing)

Ew.

(Bob sniffs)

(Fawn laughs)

- Auntie's chopping away.

(Fawn and Bob laughing)

The coast is clear.

- Whoo, it's time to party.

Where are the glasses?

- In the pantry, first door back there.

(Fawn giggles) (ominous music)

- [Bob] Ah-ha, here it is.

(door clicks)

(door whooshes)

(door bangs)

Glasses, glasses.

Damn, it's dark in here.

Oh, here we go.

- Hi, Chief, I'm really glad you happened along.

- To serve and protect, that's my motto, Coral.

What's your problem here?

- Well, I got a flat tire,

and gosh, there's seems to be no air in my spare.

- Bummer, jump on in, I'll take you home.

(truck door bangs)

(truck engine revving)

(truck door bangs)

(ominous music)

(door whooshes) (door creaking)

- Look at that, Larry, it's filthy.

- I, I'm sorry, Ms. Fawn.

I forgot.

- Larry, I want it cleaned now!

- Yeah, yes, Ms. Fawn.

Right away.

Larry stupid.

- [Auntie Lee] Why, Chief Koal, how nice to see you.

- Thank you, ma'am.

Coral here had a little bit of car trouble,

and I figured you just wouldn't appreciate her

maybe getting picked up by a convict out there

on a work release program.

-Auntie, see I was hitching, just getting nowhere,

and suddenly Chief Koal's car appeared.

- Coral, how many times have I told you

about the dangers of hitchhiking?

- Pretty young lady like you

could get into a whole bunch of trouble out there.

-Auntie, it was an emergency.

- We'll talk about this later, young lady.

You go and tell Larry where your car is so he can fix it.

Oh, good gracious, what are we standing out here for?

Come on in.

I just made some nice fresh meat pies,

and you're welcome to as much of them

as your little heart desires.

- I'd like that, but I'm afraid I must head back into town.

- Oh, please.

- Well, maybe town could wait for a couple minutes

while we have some lunch.

Mmm, mmm.

Mmm, mmm.

Auntie Lee, I swear you make the best meat pies

I've ever tasted, mmm.

Ain't no wonder that you sell 'em like,

like crazy to all them fancy restaurants.

Thank you.

(lighter clicks)

You know someday, you mark my word now,

someday people are gonna be buying, and selling,

and eating Auntie Lee's meat pies all across

this country coast to coast.

- I do declare, Chief, you are a flatterer.

-Mmm.

Well, it's the truth.

You have created a taste treat here

that ain't nobody in the whole wide world gonna duplicate.

- Have another slice.

- Oh, no, mmm, I couldn't, Auntie Lee.

Right now I'm as stuffed as a Christmas goose.

(group laughing)

- Well put.

Coral, please go and get some vegetables in a basket

so that the Chief can take 'em home to his purdy wife.

- Yes, Auntie.

- I bet them veggies come right

out of your fantastic little garden, huh.

- Of course.

- I don't know what kind of fertilizer you use

but it sure does get the job done. (chuckles)

- Well, let's just say that's my little secret.

But someday, Chief,

maybe we can let you in on it.

- I would love that, Auntie Lee.

I would really love it.

-Hmm.

Well, I best be getting on now.

I got to go do me some law and order stuff, you know.

Thank you, Auntie Lee.

Girls.

- [Group] Chief.

- Just remember anytime you're in the area now, Chief,

you are always welcome here.

- Thank you, thank you, Auntie.

- Bye, Chief. - Bye, girls.

- Toodaloo.

(truck engine revving)

(birds chirping)

- Bye.

(Chief Koal laughs)

- I love these carrots.

(upbeat classical music)

- Sky, why must you be so forward with men?

It's as if you've had no upbringing.

Sometimes you embarrass me to no end.

- You should talk, Coral.

- What do you mean I should talk?

I'm not the one who raped that boy yesterday.

- What are you talking about, Coral?

What boy?

- The blonde boy, Sky.

The one whose pants you were in.

- You're jealous of me, Coral, aren't you?

You're jealous of my body, aren't you?

And the men it attracts.

- I'm jealous? You slut!

- Coral, behave!

Why are my two favorite nieces always fightin'?

I've got your favorite tea here, and some nice cookies.

Coral, nice cookies for dessert.

You girls be nice, all right?

(ominous music) (birds chirping)

(truck engine humming)

(gentle brooding music)

(truck door clicks)

(truck door bangs)

- What the hell happened to you?

- I don't know.

- Don't blow in it.

- I forget.

Oh, yes, I don't forget now.

I punished myself for not cleaning her hubcaps.

- Punish?

Hubcaps?

- The dirty ones.

- The dirty ones.

- Ms. Fawn's.

- Oh, Ms. Fawn's.

Well, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself, Larry.

You know where you're going?

- To Coral's car.

- [Chief Koal] Very good.

- She told me, "To fix her tire."

- Oh, well, jump on in, I'll drive you there.

- Can you turn the red lights on?

- For you, Larry, red, white, and blue lights.

(truck door bangs)

(truck engine revving)

(ominous music)

(siren wailing)

(truck door bangs)

(water bubbling)

- Girls, we don't have enough fixins to fill these orders.

- [Coral] You mean us?

- What about Larry?

- Yeah, what about Larry?

He's strong and besides that's men's work.

- Well, Coral, Larry's busy fixing your car,

and besides he's gotta straighten up after you

like he always does.

- But Auntie, I need to take a bath.

-And my hair, it'll take hours.

- Now girls, this is a family business,

and we all have to do our share, you know that.

- Uh.

- You do- - Auntie.

- As you are told.

Go and get your stuff together,

and you get started right away.

Hurry on now.

Hurry on.

(siren wailing) (birds chirping)

(truck doors banging)

- Uh, Chief.

- Yeah.

- Uh, I was wondering.

- Yeah.

- Can I become a policeman?

- A policeman?

Larry, Penance is a little town,

a little town doesn't need but one policeman.

Especially one that's trying to give up cigarettes.

Look maybe I could make you a volunteer deputy.

Would you like that?

- Could ya?

Could ya?

I could make criminals pay for their crimes.

I could be a good policeman.

- I'm going back to town, do my duties.

I got to do my duties, Larry.

- Where's my badge?

- Your badge?

Go buy you one, send me the bill.

Deputy, get on this girl's tire.

- Right away, Chief Koal.

Right away.

(truck door clicks)

Badge, whew.

(truck door bangs)

(footsteps tapping)

- Sky, stop that.

Auntie'll see you and think we like doing this

and the next time she'll send somebody else.

- You're right, Coral,

I just kinda lost control for a second.

It's just kinda hard having fun and not showing it.

(wings fluttering) (chicken clucking)

- Missed you at Sunday services, Magnolia.

- I'm sorry, Auntie.

It was such a beautiful day and the lake was so inviting,

I just couldn't resist.

- Well, you know normally I accept temptation

as an excuse but not with the Sunday services.

It is most important that this family partake

in his worship, you know that.

- I know, Auntie.

It won't happen again, I promise.

- Good.

Well, going to have a busy night,

Coral and Sky are having guests for dinner.

I want you to really behave.

- I Will, Auntie.

I promise.

- Good.

So now while I'm cooking up nice, rich chicken gravy,

(chicken clucking)

I'd like you'd to run into town

and pick up some odds and ends.

- I Will, Auntie.

- And come right back home,

and don't you talk to strangers.

You hear me?

- I promise, Auntie.

- Well, at least the swelling's gone down.

- It's nothing really.

I kinda like it.

- Please don't talk like that, Magnolia.

I get so upset when you talk like that.

- I'm sorry, Auntie, I don't mean to.

- Well, I guess it's hard to change a person's nature.

Here chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chicky.

Come to Auntie.

I won't hurt you.

- Yeah, Mr. Evans.

Yeah, I'm still on the trail.

Yeah, it looks like he's headed for San Francisco.

Where?

I'm in the local sheriff's office.

In a little desert town named Penance.

You never heard of it?

Yeah, neither did I until this morning.

(Harold laughs)

Yeah, now Mr. Evans don't worry so much.

Yeah.

Well, you know it's not the first time

he's taking off chasing after moonbeams.

Yeah, I'm getting really close now.

Matter of fact I had to pay for his breakfast this morning

at Carmen's Coffee Shop.

Seems he cut out when they weren't watching.

Yeah, really, it's just a matter of time.

(door bangs)

The money?

Oh, yeah, about the money.

Uh, well, I'm nearly flat, I just broke the last C-note

getting a blown water hose replaced.

Uh, yeah, well, yes, Mr. Evans, it is expensive.

(table rattling) (foot thuds)

Uh, paying the uh, the bills

that your son's skipping out on,

well, all that adds up real fast.

Yes, I remember the agreement.

Well, it's up to you, Mr. Evans.

Do you want me to watch expenses or find your son?

Uh, Mr. Evans, can you hold on a moment please?

I am billing this call on my credit card, honest.

- Get out of my chair.

- Uh, Mr. Evans, I gotta go now.

Uh, good, I think that's a wise decision.

Don't worry, I'll be in touch.

(phone clicks)

(sword clangs)

- Out.

- Hey, chill out, Chief.

I'm not the kinda guy you wanna push around,

I'm from New York.

- You and every other asshole I know.

- Hey, who pissed in your Corn Flakes, huh?

I'm a private investigator, licensed.

I'm investigating a disappearance.

- Disappearance?

- Well, we don't suspect any foul play yet.

One doesn't always know does one, Chief, uh.

- Koal, K-O-A-L, sir, S-I-R.

- Well, uh, Chief, uh, Koal, sir,

I traced this young man to your town.

His name's Bob Evans.

His father's a rather important New York figure.

As far as I can tell Bob never left Penance.

At least I can't locate anyone who saw him.

- How do you know?

- Know what?

- How do you know he ain't left town?

- I don't know.

- Good.

I'll take over from here, son.

- That won't be necessary, Chief.

- You're in my territory, son.

- Okay, Chief, you're the boss.

I'll be staying at the uh, Hotel Penance.

Name's Harold lvars

from Dillard, Cremshaw, and Sutherland, New York Firm.

- Dillard, Crenshaw, hmm.

- Where'd you get this?

- Iwo Jima.

- [Harold] You in the Marines?

- On the other side.

(tongue clicks)

Sayonara.

(metal clanging) (ominous music)

- Damn you!

(birds chirping)

You always get me in trouble with Auntie and the girls!

(dirt rustling)

I hate you!

I hate you!

Are you listening?

(hood bangs)

You're against me!

Yeah, you!

I'm talking to you.

(door bangs)

(Larry panting)

(Larry yells)

I'm gonna get even with you, sweetheart.

Wanna show you who's boss of this here outfit!

I'll show you.

You hear!

You hear!

(suspenseful music) (birds chirping)

(ominous music)

(car engine roaring) (rock music)

- [Sky] I see one, I see one.

- Uh-oh.

It's California.

Bird watch, bird watch.

- You've caused enough trouble.

I'm not fooling around anymore.

You hear me?

I'm talking to you, mister!

(car engine revving)

(car engine roaring)

(birds chirping)

- I see one.

It's Utah, how about Utah, Coral?

Huh, Coral, huh?

- Auntie'd never forgive us.

Utah's Mormon country.

Auntie says, "Mormon's been inbreeding with each other

for such a long time, their brains are like salty mush."

- Ugh!

(upbeat music)

(bell rings)

- Oh, good morning, good morning, good morning.

- Good morning, Billie Bob.

Thank you.

(bell rings)

- I love you.

- Silly.

- I've loved you from the first moment I saw you.

- And when was that?

- When you put that nozzle in your tank.

- [Magnolia] When I what?

- The gas station this morning.

- Oh, a voyeur.

- Well, I just happened to be-

- Silly.

- [Billie Bob] Thank you.

- Here you go, Billie Bob.

- Good, this makes together

which is by today's exchange rate um,

$12.76, Ms. Magnolia.

- Oh, what a beautiful name.

- Put it on Auntie Lee's tab, Billie Bob.

(Billie Bob speaks in foreign language)

- Thank you.

- [Billie Bob] Here.

- By the way my name's Harold lvars.

(bell rings)

(tool whirring)

- Okay, Mister, time to get out of here,

and this time let's show a little respect.

(metal clangs)

(bell ringing)

- Did you happen to see this fellow around town?

- No, but he's kinda cute.

Why do you ask?

- I've been in pursuit of him for the past three weeks.

- You fuzz?

- [Harold] Private.

- You talk like big city.

- New York.

- You like to make love?

- Didn't I tell you I'm a professional dick?

- Then come on, hop on my cloud.

- Oh, boy.

You're making it really hard on me

in more ways than one.

I wish I could, I really do,

it's just first I gotta turn up something

on this Evans kid.

I mean how could someone disappear in a town

as small as Penance.

- And here I thought you wanted to tail me.

See ya.

- Thanks for the dump, guys.

- Hi, boys.

- [Group] Hi.

- You can use our phone.

I'm Coral, and this is my cousin, Sky.

- Hi, boys.

- Hi.

- We live at Auntie Lee's just right over there.

- That's mighty gracious of you.

We've been stranded here for god knows how long.

- We know.

- Well, uh, if you two will lead the way

we'll follow your little behind.

(group laughing)

- Hey, come on guys, save it for the groupies, huh.

(group chattering)

(door clicks)

(door whooshes)

(gentle music)

- Chucky, this is Auntie Lee.

Well, seems that we have some handsome stranded men out here

at my place with two flat tires.

Hold on, I'll ask.

Do you think there's any hope for these tires of any kind?

- (scoffs) No way, they're history.

Front end's probably gonna need realignment, shock,

here let me talk to him.

- Oh, no, he'd make a terrible deal with you.

He just hates outsiders.

- Just kick back, Doc.

All right, you know let the little lady do her thing.

- It's best.

- Whatever.

- Oh, Chucky, no, no hope at all for those tires.

And the front end might, oh, you already know.

You're so good.

I miss you too, Chucky.

(sighs) Oh, oh, that soon, uh-huh.

Oh, I see, really.

Oh, really.

Well, I know you would if you could.

All right, well, if you could any sooner for little old me.

Bye.

- So how soon till

we get to see little ol' Chucky tow boy?

(man laughs)

- First thing tomorrow morning.

- Tomorrow morning?

Geez Louise, guys.

- I mean how come?

I thought he was all hot to see you?

- Button your lip.

Well, it seems there's a accident on Interstate 5.

- Oh. -And all the tow trucks

are under supervision from the Sheriff

to clear that up first.

Just try to remember you are not in L.A.

- No.

- Please take don't take offense, Auntie.

The boys sometimes say things

without first letting it pass through their brains.

We'll just wait in our car

till a tow truck arrives in the morning.

We'll be fine.

- Auntie, we can't let them do that.

They could all get gobbled up in the middle of the night.

- That little fox can gobble me up anytime she wants.

- Muy bueno, bro.

- And we've got all those extra rooms,

it'd be a crime I do declare.

- Uh-huh.

- Well, all right, all right.

You can all stay the night.

And dinner is served in about an hour,

so there's plenty of time for you to take a bath,

maybe two.

We like all our guests to be squeaky clean.

(water bubbling)

(lid whooshes)

- Damn, I was afraid of this.

And everything was going so well.

It looks like one of the strays Fawn picked up

has a private detective on his heels.

She's supposed to be the smart one.

- Are you sure of this, Magnolia?

- He's questioning everybody in town.

- Fawn is careful.

I'm sure there must be no problem.

- I hope so.

I hope you're right.

And where's Larry?

Shouldn't he be back by now?

(lid clicks)

(tool whirring) (birds chirping)

(Chuck humming)

(bell ringing)

- Hey, Larry.

This should be okay here now.

Looks like a bone or something in your flat.

Well, you tell Auntie Lee and Missy, I said hi.

- Chief Koal, you surprised Larry.

- (chuckles) I didn't mean to.

Here let me give you had with this, Larry.

You know there's a real technique

to organizing a trunk like this.

Sort of like real life, you know you gotta have a plan.

- I got my deputy badge.

- Good.

- See, Chief Koal.

- Just like police issue there too.

- Really thinks so?

- Yeah.

- I brought you the bill just like you said I should.

- Oh, good.

Looks like you're saving some trash here too, ain't you?

Whew, what you got in this bag?

- [Larry] No, that's my secret stuff!

No!

(meat sizzling)

(group chattering)

- Fawn, pass this around for me, won't you?

- Look like uh. - Those look good.

- [Phil] That looks like cottage cheese.

(group chattering)

- I don't believe that.

Well, how did you get the name Doc?

- Guess.

- You're a meteorologist?

A veterinarian?

- Try a gynecologist.

(laughs) Just kidding.

Actually my last name is Dockerdin,

so Doc just kinda happened naturally.

- Oh.

- [Fawn] So how'd you like that meat?

- Uh, pretty tasty.

- Joining the band was the most important decision

in my life.

You know dealing with the fame, okay,

that was kinda hard at first until I matured.

I got this deep inner strength.

- I can feel it, Craig.

I can feel the vibes from your body as they radiate.

I mean it's like you're signaling power.

- Try some meat cubes, Craig.

Oh, not that one.

That one there.

That's a heart of a brave and magnificent animal.

You know they say if you eat the heart of courageous animal

it adds to your own prowess.

- Yeah, I can feel that.

You know I can feel it's like becoming at one with my karma.

- Do you like kidneys, Phil.

(fan rattling)

- Uh, uh, no.

- Oh, go on try one.

I know you'll love the seasoning.

(Phil laughs)

(meat crunching)

- Boy, Auntie, your secret herbs and spices

really make the difference.

- Don't say herbs and spices, say herbs and spices.

Herb is a person, herb is a seasoning.

(upbeat country music) (birds chirping)

(car door clicks)

(car door bangs)

- [Harold] Howdy.

- (scoffs) Jesus Christ, the only people that ever say howdy

are assholes from New York City.

(donkey braving)

- I was wondering if you ever saw my brother.

College kid, clean-cut, around 20.

Probably hitching.

- He ain't your brother.

- Okay, I'm a private investigator

hired by the father of this boy.

- I don't much cotton to liars,

but inasmuch as I'm a pappy, yes, I seen him.

- You have?

-And he's not in much good company either.

- What makes you say that?

- Auntie Lee and her nieces

nothing but a pack of whores if you ask me.

Ah, that poor boy's gonna end up in the hospital

with one of them sociable diseases.

- Where can I uh, find this Auntie Lee person?

- Your car's pointed in the right direction,

take it with ya.

Down the road a bit.

Big sign, can't miss it, Auntie Lee's Meat Pies.

- Hey, thanks a million.

- Stick that and stuff that howdy crap.

(Farmer spits)

(vase thudding)

(ominous music) (group vocalizing)

(group vocalizing)

(group chattering)

(metal clanging)

- Time for prayer.

That means everyone.

Everyone.

Bless us, oh, Lord of darkness.

And bless these thy gifts,

which we are about to receive to thy bounty.

Sow thy evil seed throughout the firmament

and reap the black wind.

Thy will be and clone on earth as it is in Hell.

Oh, Lucifer,

creator of the universe, giver of life,

the power of darkness.

(Auntie Lee sighs)

- Amen.

- Hey, talk about heavy metal prayers, man.

- How come there are so many candles?

- Well, four of them are for you and your friends,

and all the rest are for previous guests now departed.

- Departed?

- (laughs) Departed, no.

I meant parted as in gone on their way.

(group laughing)

Magnolia, don't you think this would be a glorious time

to bring Baby downstairs.

- I'm sure she'd love to come down

and meet all of our new guests

now that she's feeling better.

Excuse me, folks, I'll be right back.

- Check her out.

(ominous music) (voices chattering)

(woman cackling)

(bones thudding)

(playful music)

(Baby grunting)

(bottle thudding)

" [Baby] No.

(door clicks) (door whooshes)

- Baby, it's Magnolia.

(Baby coos)

We've invited some friends over for dinner.

(Baby giggles)

(Baby cheers)

Auntie Lee would like you to come downstairs

and visit with us.

(group chattering)

(Baby crying)

(Phil coughs)

(Baby crying)

-Ah.

Oh, don't cry.

Auntie Lee loves you, yeah.

(Baby and Auntie Lee cooing)

(Baby giggling)

(door whooshes)

(door bangs)

(gentle brooding music)

- What the hell on earth do you have here, Larry?

- They were against me.

- Who were against you?

- People.

They tried to make fun of me.

- Who were these people?

- They said, "I should be put away."

I, I didn't like that, Chief Koal.

(bag rustling)

- Larry, did you kill Bob Evans?

- I don't know their names.

(bag rustling)

(group chattering)

- Yeah, you like that, huh?

Good girl.

Come on, oh, Baby.

(Baby laughing)

Have some more.

Come on, come on.

Well, I think we've had enough now, haven't we?

(Baby laughing)

(Doc laughing)

Doc, will you help me bring baby back to her room?

- Yeah, sure, Magnolia.

- [Magnolia] Come on, Baby.

(Baby cooing)

(Doc laughs)

- [Doc] Hey, Baby.

(John laughing)

- [John] Oh, God.

- What's so funny, John?

- Not only does Auntie Lee cook the best meal

I've ever eaten but (laughs) she got the best entertainment

I've seen since we've been on the road, you know.

- What entertainment?

- You know the gag about baby.

Oh, shit it brought tears to my eyes, man.

- Hey, John, you think that's a put-on, man?

- Of course, it's a joke, Craig.

I mean what the hell else could it be, right?

- I don't know, man, I sorta believe it, you know.

- I think that's quite enough, John.

It's no gag, I'm serious.

- You owe the family an apology.

- Hey, Sky, I'm sorry, all right.

Look, Coral, I, I had no idea.

Look, I didn't mean to get everyone so upset.

I, I just didn't realize, I.

- Well, now you do!

- Smooth, John, real smooth.

- I suggest you go after Sky, talk to her.

She likes you, you know.

-All I can say is, is I apologize all right.

(Phil sighs)

(Baby cooing)

(door whooshing)

(ominous music) (chain rattling)

- What are the chains for, Magnolia?

- To keep Baby secure.

When she get upset she sorta gets violent.

- You know I have a thing for chains.

(Doc chuckles)

(chain clangs)

Being shackled.

Being restrained.

It's quite stimulating you know.

- Would you like it now?

- Yes.

Very much.

Ah. (laughs)

Ooh. (laughs)

Ah, it's been too long. (laughs)

Most women just don't understand.

- How pain can bring happiness?

Yes, torture has aways fascinated mankind.

These are the same stirrings

that thrills at the sight of a bloody accident

with its intricate weave of metal and body parts

as the would-be mourners craning their necks

for a better view slowly filed passed.

- Damn, that's beautiful.

That was truly beautiful.

(Doc moans)

(Doc screaming)

Magnolia!

(Magnolia laughing)

Help me!

Please!

(Doc screaming)

(flesh tearing)

(Baby laughing)

(fan whooshing)

(Sky crying)

- Sky, I'm sorry.

It was totally thoughtless of me.

I, I don't know what to say.

I must of been a real airhead, huh?

- John, it just hurts so

to hear you making fun of Baby like that.

- I just, uh, I just misunderstood.

- You won't do it again?

- I cross my heart, hope to die.

- Fair enough.

We better get back before they send out a search party.

- Yeah.

- I'm glad you understand.

- Oh, yeah, just the average ordinary nuclear family.

I like you, Sky.

I like you a lot.

- You know uh, John, I was just thinking

maybe before we rejoin the others again

you might wanna see the food preparation area

in the basement.

- Ah, sounds sweet.

(Sky giggles)

- But you'll have to be quiet,

Auntie doesn't like outsiders in the basement.

She's afraid they'll steal her secret recipes.

- Oh, you don't have to worry about me, uh-uh.

These lips are sealed.

- I, I know I can trust you.

(door clicks)

(door whooshes) (door bangs)

(brooding rock music)

- That's where we went on our world tour.

(machine humming)

(switch clicks)

(shutter whooshing)

(shutters thudding)

What's happening?

- It's just Auntie, she's closing the shutters.

- Auntie's got a terrible fear of burglars and rapists.

She worries so about us.

- (laughs) The shutters sound like they're strong enough

to withstand an atomic blast.

- Well, at least no one's gonna break into the house.

- Hey, it make sense.

There's a lot of burglars

like to get their hands on your meat pies.

(Fawn laughing)

(machine whirring) (ominous music)

- But John, (laughs) I thought you wanted

to see our food preparation area?

- Oh, I do, I do.

- [Sky] You silly goose.

(Sky moans)

(Sky giggles)

- [Phil] All right, hold on to your shorts, ladies,

here we go.

- You guys are fab.

- That was really wonderful.

- Well ladies, I gotta tell you, you're truly discerning.

- You think it's possible we could find some place,

get a little privacy?

- Well, we could go to my room if you like.

- I like.

I like.

(door whooshing)

(Sultry music) (door bangs)

Wow.

- I'm going to take a shower.

It'll be just a minute.

- Huh?

(electricity buzzing)

Ooh, yeah.

What?

(fan whirring)

Oh, ooh.

Huh?

Ooh, all right, yeah.

Ah, ooh.

(electricity buzzing)

- What would your momma say if she saw you now?

- My momma only told me to stay away from wild women.

You a wild woman?

(Fawn giggles)

- You be the judge.

(Fawn moans)

(Phil moans)

Maybe you should of listened to your momma.

- I'm afraid it's a little late for that now, Fawn.

Ah.

(Phil moans)

(Fawn moans)

- You know I'm probably different

than most of the girls that you've known,

in that I don't have to know a man to love him.

I just have to love a man to kill him.

(Phil screaming)

(Fawn laughing)

(cleaver thudding) (blood splashing)

- Care for a little doobage?

- What?

- It relaxes frayed nerves.

- Auntie's taught us to just say no.

She doesn't approve of controlled substances.

It dulls our instincts.

- Whatever.

So what about the cook's tour, huh?

- Sure.

(water bubbling)

(meat swishing)

(meat thuds)

(ominous music)

(door clicks)

(door whooshes)

- I don't know, I, I kinda expected

to see a slab of beef or two.

(door bangs)

- Auntie likes to get 'em processed

as soon as we get 'em in.

That way we're able to fill all of our orders lickety-split.

(light clanging)

(meat swishing)

- Care for a little Wiener schnitzel. (laughs)

- John, that's not at all funny.

Besides it's not very hygienic.

- Hygienic?

I mean just cook it, no one's gonna know the difference.

- That's not the point.

Would you wanna eat a unsanitary meat pie?

- To be honest wouldn't be the first time.

(door creaking)

Oh, what the fuck?

(Sky grunts) (John groaning)

(Sky laughing)

(Sky grunting)

(Sky laughing)

- Sweet death the final act of eroticism. (laughing)

(laughing echoing) (gentle guitar music)

- Music comes to me in the night.

In the black heart of my dreams,

(gentle guitar music)

And it's, it's like real loud.

Like a herd of buffalo thundering through my brain.

Sometimes it's so loud that I wake up with a start.

Perspiration is dripping from every pore.

(sighs) I'm temporarily deaf.

Sometimes it lasts till noon.

- Oh, Craig, you're so mystical.

- So where is everyone?

- Why?

Are you afraid to be alone with me?

- It's not fear, it's anticipation.

(ominous music)

Hey, listen what if Auntie Lee pops in, huh?

- Yeah, I guess you're right.

She might get the wrong idea.

Hey, would like to see my boudoir?

- I thought you'd never ask.

(ominous music)

(body thuds)

(door whooshes)

-Ah, I can't wait to feel you inside me.

Come on, my room's down the hall.

Right this way.

- So whose room is this?

- That's Baby's.

- Hey, you think Doc and Magnolia are still in there?

- Oh, come on, Craig, it's none of our business.

- You're absolutely right.

But it's still fun to watch.

" [Coral] Craig.

Craig.

(voices chattering)

- Hey, Doc, you in there?

- Craig, let me introduce you to Simone.

- What another niece?

(Coral laughs)

- No.

She's a close friend.

- The more the merrier, lead on.

(door clicks)

(door whooshes)

(door bangs)

(ominous music)

(snake rattling)

(snake hissing)

I uh, I take it that's Simone.

- Isn't she beautiful?

- I prefer hamsters to be honest.

- So does Simone.

Would you like to watch her eat?

- Uh, not, not really, no.

- You must I insist.

- Okay, what have I got to lose?

- Just your inhibitions.

(rat squeaking)

Oh, Craig, isn't she beautiful?

(Magnolia and Fawn laughing)

- Don't play with the food.

(insects chirping)

(headlights banging)

Lot of work to be done before the morning.

- Okay-

(doorbell ringing)

- Who could that be this time of night?

- I don't know.

- I'll go look.

-Hmm.

(ominous music)

(door clicks)

- [Harold] Evening.

- Well, if it isn't Harold my favorite private dick.

So how'd you find me?

- I didn't.

(door bangs)

I mean I was looking for Bob Evans and uh.

- And you weren't looking for me.

Oh, you pierce my heart.

- I did wanna see you again.

I mean uh.

- Why?

To hurt me physically besides mentally?

To inflict pain?

- That's the last thing I'd ever do.

- And what's the first thing you'd ever do?

Slap me around a couple of times?

Tear off my clothes?

Throw my naked body to the floor?

Rape me till I'm unconscious?

Is that your idea of having a good time?

Well, is it?

- No.

Never, I swear.

- That's a shame.

I thought we might of had a good thing.

(door clicks)

Would you care for a little red wine?

- Sounds great.

(finger whooshes)

(Harold groans)

- How about getting the glasses?

- Uh, my pleasure.

Where are they hiding?

- Uh, they're in the pantry.

(door whooshing)

Uh-oh.

(blood swishing)

Oh, no, no, no.

That's right, Auntie Lee put the glasses in this cabinet.

- Well, here let me help you.

- It's no problem.

Thanks anyway.

(Magnolia sighs)

(door whooshes)

(door bangs)

(wine splashing)

So tell me why were you

ringing my bells

if not to harass me?

- Well, uh, like I said,

I'm still on the trail of Bob Evans,

and uh, well, I stopped down the road a ways

to talk to a farmer.

Seems he saw Bob being picked up by a truck

with the Auntie Lee logo on its side.

(glasses clanging)

Have any idea who it might of been?

- Had to be Fawn.

She handles all the pickups and deliveries.

She's the oldest.

- If she's at home I'd like to talk to her.

- Sure, she's in the pool doing her nightly laps.

She likes to keep fit being older and all.

The pool's this way.

(ominous music)

Oh, you better slip off your shoes.

They scuff up the pool deck. - Huh?

Oh, sure.

- I'll wait inside while you pump Fawn

for information that is.

(insects chirping)

(water splashing)

(water splashing)

- Where'd you come from?

- I didn't mean to surprise you.

Magnolia let me in.

Name's Harold, Harold lvars.

She said, "You might of given

this fella a ride around noon time."

(Fawn giggling)

(ominous music) (Harold yelling)

(water splashing)

(Fawn laughing)

- If you would of asked

I could of loaned you some swim trunks.

I'm sorry, you just look kinda comical.

- Did you uh?

- Mmm, yeah, I did him.

Like I'm doing you.

- [Harold] And?

- And where is he now?

All I know is that he left us with a smile on his face.

(water splashing) (Harold laughs)

(Fawn laughs)

(water splashing)

- Hello again.

- Hi, Magnolia.

Oh, my gosh.

(water splashing)

(water splashing)

(group laughing)

(ominous music)

Oh, my god, ow, ow, ow, ow!

- May the blessings

of Lucifer

be upon you.

The Devil's circle is now complete.

Yes.

(Harold groaning)

(Harold screaming)

Yes.

Yes.

(brooding music)

(birds chirping)

- Whose cars are those up there?

- I don't know.

Maybe bird watch.

Larry always cleans up after the girls.

(truck door clicks)

(truck door bangs)

(truck door bangs)

That's my badge.

(knuckles tapping)

(door clicks) (door whooshes)

- Hi, Chief Koal.

What are you doing up so early?

- Morning, Fawn.

Could you get Auntie Lee for us please?

I'm afraid I got some bad news for her.

It's about Larry here.

- What's Larry done now?

I hope it's not too serious.

- It's serious.

Come on.

- Auntie's in the kitchen.

(door bangs)

(knife thuds)

(Auntie Lee humming)

- Larry, you sit down over there and be a good boy.

- What's wrong, Chief?

- Auntie, I want you to try and take it easy

and not get too excited

'cause I'm gonna really lay one on you now.

Larry here's uh, well, he's been acting mighty weird lately.

He's been going around killing people,

and keeping their bones in Coral's car.

(Auntie Lee crying)

Now let's go sit down.

Right here, just take it easy.

There we go.

That's fine.

- You sure, Chief?

- Ain't no doubt about it.

Larry here's confessed to me everything himself.

- Oh, is that true, Larry?

- Yes, Auntie Lee.

But they made fun of me.

- What are you gonna do with Larry, Chief Koal?

- Well, that's why I come here to talk to you first, Auntie.

I mean before I have to turn everything

over to the state police.

Uh, an incident like this uh,

is not gonna do your sales any good across the state.

I mean if there's anyway at all I could keep your name

out of the headlines I'd do that

but the state police is a whole nother matter.

- Well, thank you for your consideration, Chief.

- I only thought it was right.

- Couldn't you forget about this, Chief Koal,

and just let Larry go?

We promise to take care of him.

We'd make sure he never left the grounds.

It is his first offense.

- We're talking serial murder here, Fawn.

It's not like this is some little ol' traffic violation.

It's impossible, just impossible.

- But Larry didn't mean any harm.

He, he's a puppy dog.

He just doesn't know any better.

- I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry,

but it's for Larry's own good.

- Oh, I guess you know best.

- Yeah, I know best.

- Coffee?

- Sure.

Thank you, black please.

(Larry grunts)

(switch clicks)

- Oh, Chief Koal, would you please give me a hand with this?

- Why sure.

What seems to be the problem?

- It's the darn garbage disposal,

it keeps clogging up on us.

I guess we just use it too much for the business and all.

- Yeah.

Well, you just move your pretty self over,

and let old Chief Koal get a hold of this.

An old hand at this.

- [Fawn] I guess I need your strong hands, Chief.

I can't turn the blade, it's stuck somehow.

- Yeah.

Wow, that's really tough in there.

I think I almost got it.

(switch clicks)

(Chief Koal and Fawn laughing)

(disposal whirring) (Chief Koal screaming)

- Nobody's ever gonna take my brother from me!

(gun bangs)

(ominous organ music) (birds chirping)

- [Fawn] Auntie, that was too close for comfort.

- [Auntie Lee] Yes, indeed.

For a while there I was thinking

we were gonna have to pack up and leave.

- [Fawn] That might not be a bad idea.

You know you always said,

"You wanted to open up a steakhouse in New York City."

We'd never run out of beef.

- [Auntie Lee] Well, I'll think on it.

Meanwhile, I got this here kitchen to straighten up.

Larry, you go out front and get rid of those cars.

Just put 'em around back with all the others.

- [Larry] Oh, do I have to get rid of the police car too?

I'm a deputy now,

you know I really should have a police car.

Pretty please.

- [Auntie Lee] Now Larry, you do as you are told.

- [Larry] Yes, Auntie Lee.

- [Auntie Lee] And no more saving those bones.

- [Larry] Yes, Auntie Lie.

(tongue clicking)
