- [Cathy] Dad, are we at Disneyland yet?

- [Dad] Cathy, for the last time,

we've still got a long way to go.

- [Cathy] How long is a long way?

- [Brother] You're so dumb, Cathy.

Why do you ask so many stupid questions?

- [Cathy] Dad, he called me stupid.

- [Mom] Will all three of you be quiet?

You're giving me a splitting headache.

- [Brother] Cathy, you're nothing but a complainer.

- [Cathy] Leave me alone, lizard breath.

- [Dad] Alright, alright kids, just stop it.

Quiet, I want some peace.

I don't want any more talking until we get there.

- [Cathy] I've got to go to the bathroom.

- [Brother] Again?

- [Dad] Oh God, Cathy,

we just stopped for you 20 minutes ago.

- [Cathy] Honest Dad, I gotta go.

- [Dad] Alright, I'll stop at the next gas station.

- [Radio DJ] That was another fine tune

from your friendly KDAR radio, music and news station.

Talking about news, still no word from the authorities

and no clue about the disappearance of five campers

in Smalltown Campground,

but folks I wouldn't worry if I were you.

You know how kids are nowadays,

they disappear for a while

and then when they need something they're back home again.

But the sheriff believes that those campers will show up

and well things like this always seem to happen

this time of year.

- [Dad] There's a gas station over there.

(ominous music)

(banging)

- Hey, how much longer on that door?

- New lock didn't fit.

God damn modern equipment.

- I'll let Earl know when he wakes up.

Besides, he kind of likes it that way.

Especially when there's someone inside.

- I kind of like it that way myself.

(laughing)

Hey Earl, wake up!

We got some company.

(radio DJ chattering)

- Howdy do'll.

- Hi. - What can I do for ya?

- Do you have a restroom that the ladies can use?

- Sure thing, mister.

I'll get my wife Norma to show it to you.

- Alright. - Norma!

- There's a soft drink, can I have some?

- You don't need anymore soft drinks.

- Hey Norma!

Come on out here, honey.

Got some nice people here, honey,

and these nice young ladies want to use the facility.

You go show them where it is, hey Norma.

- Say fill her up, regular. - Sure thing.

You been traveling far?

- Yeah, all the way from Boston.

- Oh, smack across the country, eh?

That's darn far.

- Well instead of teaching school this summer,

I decided to show my family America.

- Is that right?

Hey, what do you teach?

- I teach high school history.

And I'll tell you after 10 months grind

it sure is terrific to be able to take a break.

- I'm sure I can see how it would be.

Kids ain't what they used to be.

Now they're just plain little old gangsters.

- You live around here?

- Yeah, right in back of the station there.

- Uh huh.

- That'll be seven dollars even.

- How far is the closest town?

- About three miles east.

- I wonder what's taking them so long.

- Well now that beats me.

- Women are something else.

- They sure are, mister, they sure are.

- Say Brenda!

Brenda!

Brenda!

(knocking)

Brenda!

(door rattling)

(banging)

(sighing)

- Good work, Earl.

We sure needed 'em.

- Thank you Dr. Schaeffer.

- I'm sure Doc Cooper will be real pleased too.

Now some of the folks might object to unscreened donors

but in this case I think it was a necessity.

They look healthy, their vital signs are excellent.

They should make exceptional donors.

Even the children will make a significant contribution

to the donor pool, huh?

- You know Doc was might pleased with that family.

In fact, he told Earl that we were doing a great job.

- Yeah, well I ain't so pleased.

- Well, why, what's the matter?

- Oh, listen Wally, look it's been a long time

since we had any fun and I'm talking about a long time.

Remember all the fun we used to have with the girls?

The hitchhikers?

They'd run out of gas

or they'd run out of dough out in the road.

Well I miss that, Wally, I mean I really miss it.

- Yeah, I know what you mean,

but we have a commitment to the doctor

and a commitment to the community.

- Oh, what about a commitment to ourselves?

A little enjoyment?

- Well why don't we do something about it?

- Ahh, what can we?

- Look Harry, we can kill two birds with one stone.

- How's that?

- Well, first we take the girls into the storage room

and then after we're finished with them,

then we take them to the clinic.

- Now that's not a bad idea.

Wally, you're a genius.

- Yeah!

- Hey, let's have a drink on that.

(upbeat music)

- Hey this is it, this is the campground.

- You finally found it, let's see the rest of it.

♪ Let me count the ways that I love the beat of the music

- And boys who won't grow up.

- Well whoever said when we were growing up

I mean, you were so short and pudgy.

- Hello there.

- Hi. - How do?

- Do you have a restroom?

- Oh sure thing, you just go right on in.

Miss Phelps will show you.

- Thank you.

- Lyle's my name, Lyle Phelps.

- How do you do, sir?

Christopher Fuller. - Christopher?

- Yeah.

- Mike Segal, hi.

- Mike, do you need some gas?

- Well no sir, what we really need is a mechanic.

- Did you come far?

- We were just uh... - You've been camping out.

- It looks like something's wrong with the water pump.

- Well that's a possibility.

(romantic music)

- Did you really think I was ugly when we were kids?

- No, I never said you were ugly.

- Pudgy, ugly, isn't it the same thing?

- No, you had that certain,

charm, personality.

- Charm?

Like the time I put goo on the seat of your bike?

- That was you?

You know I never found out who that was.

- Or the time I saw you smoking behind the market

and I told your Mom.

- Yeah, I guess you were a brat.

- Me?

What about you?

- What about me?

- I used to hate it when you call my dolls names

and throw dirt in my Barbie stroller.

- I would wait until you went into your house

and I would grab your dolls

and bury them up to their neck in the ground.

- Would you get me Fred please?

Fred, Lyle.

I hate to bother you like this, but is Earl there?

Earl's there!

Earl, Lyle.

Have you had your supper?

(laughing)

Say Earl, we've got four real nice young people over here,

they just stopped by.

They were driving through in one of those camper vans.

Hmm, well it seemed like it's overheating on them

and we'd kind of like you to come over

and take a look at it.

Do you think you can do that?

(romantic music)

(ominous music)

- Honey, I don't feel comfortable here.

- Why, what's wrong?

- Nothing's wrong, I just have a feeling

all these trees are watching us.

- Watching us?

- Let's do it in the car.

- Okay, if that's what you want.

- It's what I want.

- Dianne, go get the other sleeping bag.

- Okay.

(banging)

(screaming)

Tony!

(suspenseful music)

- How far did you drive it today?

- From Fresno, about

- That's quite a walk.

That's where you come from down there?

- No, they come all the way from Los Angeles.

- You come up through the valley?

- Yeah, most of the way.

- Well, that'll sure do it.

Alright, see there's your trouble.

Right in there.

- What's that? - The water pump.

- What's the matter with it?

- I don't know yet.

- Tony, help, Tony!

(suspenseful music)

(screaming)

- Well, can't get it fixed till tomorrow noon.

- What?

- Oh Mildred, these folks are going to have to find

a place to stay tonight,

why don't we just put them up out at our house?

- Well, why not?

- No, really, thank you very much.

- We've imposed enough already.

- Can you fix it, Earl?

- Oh sure, but I have to go to Casper for a part.

- Goodnight, Earl, see you tomorrow.

- Adios.

- We'd love to have you stay over.

I'll tell you a secret.

It'd be kind of a thrill for us.

It's been a long while

since we had young folks at breakfast.

Hasn't it, Lyle?

- It's been a long while, Mildred.

- Really, we couldn't.

- He's right, really.

- Mildred, they want to camp out.

- Alright.

- I think the best place would be the old logging trail.

- [Girl] Thank you very much.

- [Man] Goodbye.

(suspenseful music)

(screaming)

- Alright, get her.

- Yes, Harry!

- Yeah, oh yes, oh yes.

- Timothy two-fifteen, studied his shot

proved to God, not to be ashamed

brightly defending the word of truth,

I like that, I like that.

(ominous music)

(muffled screaming)

- [Woman] George! - Yes?

- George, I need your help in the research room.

- But I have to take William to see Dr. Schaeffer.

- George, I have an uncontrollable patient

and I need your help immediately.

(alarm ringing)

(groaning)

- What's happened?

- Williams escaped.

- You must catch him immediately.

Take Charles with you. - Yes ma'am.

- I'll notify Dr. Schaeffer.

And remember, he must be brought back alive.

- Let's go, Charlie.

- You go around that way and I'll meet you

in a half an hour.

(punching)

(grunting)

(laughing)

Hold him.

(coughing)

- That sure was something.

I sure needed that.

- Are you satisfied now?

- Satisfied, are you kidding?

I'm coming back for some more tomorrow.

- Great idea, Harry, great idea.

- Oh and uh, Wally, don't say anything about her to anybody.

- Not a word, cross my legs.

(laughing)

- Right, Wally.

Alright I think I'm going to go dump him over at the clinic.

- See you tomorrow. - [Harry] Okay.

- Say hi to Doc.

(ominous music)

It's okay.

(screaming)

No, no, no!

- Okay, Chris.

(chattering)

- If I'm not here when you get back, don't be scared.

- You better be here, you play the music while we're gone.

- Yes ma'am.

(guitar strumming)

- I think it's in tune.

- Here you go.

(gargling)

Oh yeah, yee-ha!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm not kidding you,

I think there's somebody out there watching those guys.

(ominous music)

- Where's Chris?

- Probably saw somebody.

- Oh no, Christopher! - Yo.

I think there's somebody out there watching you guys.

- Oh, oh, oh great.

- I'm not kidding you,

there was somebody out there watching you guys.

- Sure.

- You guys think I'm drunk, don't you?

- Yes. - Maybe it was Earl.

- I don't know, maybe it.

(laughing)

You ready for bed, darling? - Mm-hmm.

- Well then let's go to bed.

You want me to put out the fire, you guys?

- No, keep it on.

- Keeps us warm, Chris.

- Yeah, and I'll be able to keep watch for you guys.

- Okay, sweet dreams, you guys.

(ominous music)

- [Dorothy] Dr. Schaeffer, don't worry about a thing.

I have everything under control.

William will be back here by the time you arrive.

Goodbye.

- Sorry to come so late, Dorothy,

but I knew that you could use him.

- We sure can, Harry.

- Yeah, you better watch him,

he's a little anxious to get away.

- Don't worry, he won't.

Not after what I have to give him.

- No, no, no please, no.

- Besides, we don't need anymore escapes.

- Why, who escaped?

- William.

I sent Charlie and George out after him.

- I better call Wally

and have him take a look at the main road.

- That's a good idea.

Why don't you put him in the waiting room

and I'll take him to Dr. Schaeffer.

(phone ringing)

This is Dorothy.

Oh, Dr. Hooper!

Uh, no, no he's with patients right now.

Not now, not here.

No doctor, I didn't say.

Oh that feels so good.

No, doctor.

I mean, I mean yes, doctor.

Right there.

Ooh, yes, mmm.

Um, that will be fine, doctor, I'll tell him.

- You've been working hard.

As a matter of fact, you've been working too hard lately.

I think you ought to take tomorrow night off, huh?

I have just the spot for a little relaxation,

a little enjoyable time.

- Harry, thank you for your concern

but I'm 100 percent dedicated to this project.

I don't have time to go out.

- Well you've gotta make time for yourself.

You can't be selfish.

You gotta treat yourself.

Hey, the work is always there, it never leaves, never.

- Well so what, they don't care.

We'll just watch.

- Well yes he did but when he went to start up that motor,

you just never heard anything like it in your life.

- Morning, and a very good morning, is it?

Come on inside and have some coffee.

- Yeah, you guys go on in, I'll take care of the gear.

Oh boy.

- What a drag, huh?

- Oh you could say that again.

- I guess you gotta make the best of it.

- Oh, as Lyle says? - Yes.

- Those are pretty flowers.

- They're from Mrs. Phelps.

- You know something?

You are a beautiful lady.

You want?

- Uh-huh, you mind?

Yeah? - Yeah.

- Come on in here, I want you to meet my good friend

and neighbor Mrs. Wiley.

Alice, this is Julie and Chris.

- Hello.

- You guys, you've got to see what this lady's making.

She's just fantastic.

- Oh, just something to keep me busy.

- Oh, it's beautiful.

- Well, Mrs. Phelps tells me

that you're all from Los Angeles.

- Yes ma'am.

- Oh, well not originally.

We all migrated there.

(clock ticking)

- With your families?

- No, we just flew the nest.

- Folks move around too much these days,

especially youngsters.

They're just not content to stay where they belong.

Come on, let's go, it's free!

- Oh, I'm starving.

- Let's get something to eat, come on!

- Boys, I'm afraid this is gonna be a bigger job

than I thought, but I'll have it for you as soon as I can.

- Well how long will that be?

- Hey boys!

Like you come meet Doc Hooper!

Doc, this is Chris and Mike,

you know, I don't recall your last names.

- I haven't used a last name in 30 years, Lyle.

Just call me Doc.

I understand you're serving an internship in LA.

- Word gets around here, yes sir.

Actually, I'm just completing my residency.

- Good morning, Doc.

- Morning, Mildred.

Alice. - Morning, Doc.

- This is Doc Hooper.

They're going to spend the night with us.

We're so pleased.

- That'll be a real treat for you, Mildred.

- Oh yes.

- I'll have to run along,

it's nice to have met you folks.

- Yes.

- Oh and Alice, remind Lester, meeting tonight.

- Yes, I will.

(whistling)

- It's about time.

Did you find William?

- Not yet, but we think he's around here someplace.

- I don't think he'll go far, I hit him awfully hard.

- Well I'll keep my eye on the road.

Where's Charlie?

- We dropped him off at the house.

- Oh by the way, we got some glaze at the campground

for later tonight.

- Yeah, well it better be early

'cause I got me a hot date tonight.

- Hey listen, I'm gonna take George here

back to the clinic and then we'll be right back.

- Okay.

- Did you guys decide what we're going to do today?

- Mrs. Phelps said there was a cove down the way

with a sandy beach.

We could swim or whatever.

- [Chris] That sounds good.

(adventurous music)

- What's the matter?

- I don't know.

My head's not into running.

- [Mike] Hey, I thought you were a big jogger.

- Hey man, look up there.

There's a guy watching us.

That's the same guy I saw last night, I swear to God.

You go check on the girls, I'm going after that guy.

(suspenseful music)

(church bells ringing)

- Will you hand me my bag?

Thanks.

- Looks like he got everything out of here.

- I know he knows how to put it back, the creep.

- Who tied my bag? - Didn't you?

- I never tie it.

- Hello there!

- Hi. - Hi.

- Mrs. Phelps is home fixing supper.

I'll give her a ring, tell her we'll be right along.

Take me just a minute to close up the store.

- Is there anything missing?

- I don't think so.

- Are you sure?

- Well there's nothing valuable in it anyway.

Just my ID.

And here it is.

- Looks like the Wylie's stopped by.

- Oh, doesn't that look good?

- I'll do this, dear.

Just let me get the biscuits.

- Tell them about last night.

- Why don't you tell them about last night?

- Well, the same man was watching us last night

when we were camping out.

- We think, Linda.

- And it was obviously the same man

because there were footprints barefoot.

- Do you think it ought to be reported to the authorities?

- Well, yes, I think so, definitely.

- Let me ask you, would you prefer coffee or tea?

And we're having apple pie, still warm from the oven.

- Apple pie, that calls for coffee.

- Lester prizes your apple pie, Mildred.

- Coffee for everyone then?

And Lyle will have his tea.

- Oh, and I'll just have some hot water with a sliced lemon.

- I'll report it at the meeting tonight.

- Well there's nothing the church council

can do about it, Lester.

- I don't see it would do any harm.

- I'll report it to the highway patrol on Friday.

- Why wait till then?

- Well that's when they come through here, every Friday.

- Won't they want to talk to us?

We're going to be leaving tomorrow.

- Yes, I think you'd best telephone them up loud.

- I'll do it first thing in the morning.

- I think that will be best.

- Would you like me to cut the pie, Mildred?

- Oh yes, thank you.

- Sounds to me like it might be one from that hospital

got loose.

- What hospital?

- The state hospital over beyond Casper.

Don't you remember years ago when one of them got loose?

- That's right.

- I agree with you, Alice.

I was just trying to think who it was

but somebody come in the store just the other day

and they mentioned something to that effect.

I just can't recall who.

Well I will.

(laughing)

- Come on Dora, tell me. - No.

- Yeah. - No.

- Please.

- Pass me a napkin, please.

Wow, what a talent.

- When I was a kid, I used to use my toes on lots of things.

I even opened up doors.

- Oh, that's impossible.

- No, it was easy, I just lie on my back like this

and I'd open the door.

- What else did you do when you were lying on your back?

- Almost everything.

- Everything, Terri?

- Now you're getting a little personal.

Come on, let's clean up and get ready for bed.

I'm dead tired.

- Mildred dear, we'll say goodnight.

Lester has meeting.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight, sir.

- Oh Mildred, it's just occurred to me,

where were you planning to put the young people?

You just have the one spare room.

- Oh, don't worry, dear.

I have it all planned out.

- Well, I don't see how you could have, dear.

- Well if you must know...

- Lester and I have a lovely spare room

and it's just empty there waiting.

And there's a double bed so the unmarrieds,

well they can just come right along with us.

- What you thinking?

- Let's not talk about it here, huh?

Go for a walk. - Kay.

- Mr. and Mrs. Phelps, we're gonna go for a walk.

- Don't be gone too long now.

- Don't worry, we won't. - See you later.

This is paranoid, okay, but yesterday Earl, the mechanic,

said it was the water pump, right?

Then the next day he says it's a rod.
