OKAY, YOU GUYS, I KNOW YOU'RE HIDING SOMEWHERE,

BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET ME THIS TIME.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST COME OUT AND GIVE IT UP, OKAY?

BOO! BOO!

OH! YOU GUYS! ALL RIGHT. YOU DID SCARE ME.

[ LAUGHTER ] HERE. COME HERE.

HOW HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN? GOOD? YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO SCARE THE PANTS OFF YOU.

ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR A "DEADTIME STORY"?

YEAH. WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US THIS TIME?

"GRANDPA'S MONSTER MOVIES."

SOUNDS LIKE FUN. NOT FOR CATAN THOMAS AND HIS FAMILY.

WHY? WHAT TYPE OF MONSTER MOVIES ARE THEY?

REAL ONES, ONES THAT CATAN'S GRANDFATHER AND HIS BROTHERS

HAVE BEEN HIDING FOR YEARS.

ARE YOU GUYS READY TO BE SCARED?

OKAY. CHAPTER ONE.

"CATAN THOMAS WAS LOST -- HOPELESSLY LOST.

"WORSE THAN THAT, HE WAS BEING HUNTED.

"HE THOUGHT HE WAS WELL HIDDEN,

BUT THEN AGAIN, SO WERE HIS HUNTERS."

[ PANTING ]

[ PANTING ]

OH, MY GOSH! I THOUGHT THE BOBS GOT YOU.

I THOUGHT THEY GOT YOU, TOO. YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE BEING STALKED

BY A BUNCH OF NOSE-PICKING REJECTS FROM BUMBLEWEED.

YEAH. NOSE-PICKING REJECTS WE'RE RELATED TO.

SORT OF RELATED TO. THEY'RE DISTANT COUSINS.

NOT DISTANT ENOUGH. COME ON. WE'D BETTER KEEP MOVING.

Catan: ARE ALL THE BOBS TOGETHER? I DON'T KNOW.

I ONLY SAW BILLY BOB. I DON'T KNOW WHERE BOBBY BOB IS.

WHAT ABOUT THE BOBS' TWINS? APRIL AND MAY? I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM.

GOOD.

THOSE TWO REALLY FREAK ME OUT.

YEAH. HAVE YOU HEARD THEM TALK YET?

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE LIVED OUT HERE?

WE'D HAVE TO SPEND EVERY HOLIDAY WITH THE BOBS AND BOBS' TWINS,

AND WORSE YET, GO TO SUMMER CAMP WITH THEM. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW I'M GONNA SURVIVE THE REST OF THIS FAMILY REUNION.

THAT MAKES TWO OF US.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE MY MOM AND YOUR DAD GREW UP OUT HERE.

BOY, ARE YOU LUCKY MY DAD CONVINCED YOUR MOM TO MOVE CLOSE TO US.

OTHERWISE, YOU REALLY WOULD'VE BEEN HANGING WITH THE BOBS.

NOT EVEN FUNNY.

LET'S KEEP MOVING BEFORE THEY SPOT US.

AAH!

♪ DON'T COME OUT ♪

♪ IT'S NOT A DREAM ♪

♪ DON'T YOU SLEEP ♪

♪ THIS IS YOUR NIGHTMARE NOW ♪

[ GROWLING ]

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?

I DON'T KNOW. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE.

WHAT DO WE DO? I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T HAVE A CLUE.

[ GRUMBLING ]

WHATEVER THAT THING IS, IT'S REALLY HUNGRY.

I THINK WE SHOULD GO THE OTHER WAY.

NO, IF THAT THING WOULD'VE CAUGHT US,

IT WOULD'VE ATTACKED US BACK THERE.

AAH! AAH!

SPEAKING OF ATTACKS...

GAME'S OVER. WE'VE GOT YOU SURROUNDED.

YEAH, WELL, NOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE CAUGHT US,

IT'S YOUR TURN TO HIDE.

OH, NO. WE'RE NOT DOING THAT AGAIN.

YOU GUYS ARE TOO STUPID TO FIND US.

Bobby Bob: YEAH, WE WAS HIDING FOR LIKE FIVE HOURS YESTERDAY

BEFORE WE HAD TO COME FIND YOU.

I SAY WE PLAY STOMP THE SQUIRREL. WHAT?!

STOMP THE SQUIRREL. IT'S WAY BETTER THAN HIDE AND SEEK.

ALL WE NEED IS A SQUIRREL.

AND I THINK I SAW ONE RUNNING THROUGH HERE A MINUTE AGO --

A BIG ONE, TOO.

YOU MEAN THAT BIG BROWN HAIRY THING?

THAT WASN'T A SQUIRREL.

MAYBE IT WAS JUST A BIG OL' TUMBLEWEED.

NO, IT WASN'T A BIG OL' TUMBLEWEED.

THAT THING GROWLED.

I HAVE AN IDEA.

WHAT IF WE ALL SPREAD OUT AND LOOK FOR THE THING?

IF IT IS SOME SORT OF, UH...

CRITTER,

WE CAN, UH, USE IT FOR STOMP THE SQUIRREL ANYWAY!

GOOD IDEA! GOOD IDEA!

WITH ANY LUCK,

THEY'LL BE LOOKING FOR THAT THING UNTIL SUNDAY.

[ GRUNTS ]

OH.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW HAIRY UNCLE ERNIE IS.

HIM? LIGHTNING BOLT NUMBER SIX DID THAT ONE.

I THOUGH IT WAS NUMBER FIVE.

NO, NUMBER FIVE GAVE HIM THAT WEIRD TWITCH

IN HIS LEFT EYE WHEN HE LIES. THAT'S RIGHT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE UNCLE ERNIE'S BEEN HIT BY LIGHTNING

NINE TIMES. AND LIVED.

YOU TWO NEED TO GET IN THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, UNCLE ERNIE?

NOTHING'S THE MATTER.

IT'S -- IT'S TIME FOR SUPPER. THAT'S ALL.

OH, UH, HEY, UNCLE ERNIE, HAVE YOU SEEN A WEIRD,

HAIRY-LOOKING THING ROLLING AROUND THE ORCHARD BEFORE?

WHAT KIND OF WEIRD, HAIRY-LOOKING THING?

WE DON'T KNOW. BUT IT GROWLS.

MUST BE IMAGINATION.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AROUND HERE. [ CHUCKLES ]

BOBBY BOB SAW IT, TOO. HE'S OUT LOOKING FOR IT RIGHT NOW.

WHERE? IN THE ORCHARD WITH BILLY BOB AND THE TWINS.

GOSH D-- HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THIS UNDER CONTROL?

WHAT'S OUT OF CONTROL, UNCLE ERNIE? JUST YOU KIDS.

YOU SHOULDN'T BE PLAYING IN THE ORCHARD.

IT'S EASY FOR THINGS TO GO MISSING OUT THERE.

JUST GET BACK IN THE HOUSE WHILE I GATHER UP

THE BOBS AND THE TWINS BEFORE THEY GO MISSING FOR GOOD.

NOW GET.

Girl: SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT THAT TUMBLEWEED THING

IS GONNA BE A PROBLEM.

IS IT A MONSTER?

I DON'T KNOW.

IS IT GONNA EAT THE BOBS? [ CHUCKLES ]

SOMETHING TELLS ME CATAN AND LEA WON'T GET AWAY THAT EASY.

[ LAUGHTER ]

THEY'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO PLAY STOMP THE SQUIRREL, ARE THEY?

NO, NO SQUIRREL STOMPING. I PROMISE. GOOD.

SHALL WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

"BY THE TIME CATAN AND LEA HAD GOT BACK TO THE HOUSE,

THEY WERE STARVING...UNTIL THEY SAW WHAT WAS FOR DINNER."

Aunt Luleen: NOW, THIS HERE'S MY PICKLED PIGS' FEET,

MY PIGS' FEET AND POSSUM TAIL, PIGS' FEET PARMESAN,

CARAMELIZED RACCOON,

KNUCKLES AND NOODLES, FROG-LEG FRICASSEE,

AND GRILLED ARMADILLO.

MMM!

THERE'S NO WAY I'M EATING ANY OF THIS.

I'M READY TO PUKE JUST LOOKING AT IT. I KNOW.

I BET OUR PARENTS ARE HAVING STEAK OR SOMETHING TONIGHT.

WE SHOULD'VE GONE WITH THEM ON THEIR DATE NIGHT.

DON'T WORRY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT AUNT LULEEN'S COOKING.

I MADE FRIED CHICKEN -- WITH ALL THE FIXINGS, TOO.

THANKS, GRANDMA! THANKS, GRANDMA! YEAH.

HEY, WHERE'S MY SWEETIE PIE? EARL?!

OH, HE'S DOWN IN THE GREENHOUSE WITH EDDIE.

THEY WAS GONNA ROUND UP SOME FIREWORKS FOR TOMORROW NIGHT.

WHY DON'T YOU TWO RUN ON DOWN THERE

AND TELL YOUR GRANDPA AND YOUR GREAT UNCLE EARL

THAT IT'S TIME TO EAT? SURE THING, GRANDMA.

AND STAY AWAY FROM THE OLD BARN. IT'S DANGEROUS.

Grandpa: DANG IT, EARL.

I WANT YOU TO QUIT ACTING LIKE A RAVING MANIAC.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

I DON'T WANT ANY BLOOD SHED AT THIS FAMILY REUNION.

I DON'T REALLY CARE WHAT YOU WANT,

AND I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF ERNIE

AND ALL THE PROBLEMS HE'S CAUSED US.

Uncle Earl: BEFORE THIS REUNION IS OVER,

THERE'S GONNA BE MORE THAN A BUNCH OF FIREWORKS

'CAUSE I'M GONNA CHOP THAT HAIRY THING TO BITS.

AND THAT'S A PROMISE!

IT'S GONNA BE MY 70th STINKIN' BIRTHDAY, EARL.

AND IT'S GONNA BE A HAPPY TIME WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

JUST LIKE FLOYD GARVEY'S BIRTHDAY WAS A HAPPY TIME.

LET IT GO, EARL. THAT WAS OVER 60 YEARS AGO.

Who's Floyd Garvey?

Uncle Earl: THAT'S RIGHT! FLOYD GARVEY'S BEEN GONE FOR 60 YEARS,

AND IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF ERNIE!

IT WASN'T ERNIE'S FAULT.

IT WAS GUS-GUS.

YOU CAN'T HOLD ERNIE RESPONSIBLE

FOR SOMETHING THAT GUS-GUS DID 60 YEARS AGO.

WHO'S GUS-GUS?

WHY DON'T WE BREAK OUT SOME OF THOSE OLD MONSTER MOVIES,

AND WE'LL SEE JUST WHOSE FAULT IT REALLY WAS.

Uncle Earl: AND I DON'T WANT TO BE LYING

ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON OUT IN THAT OLD BARN ANYMORE.

I'M GONNA TAKE CARE OF THIS SITUATION ONCE AND FOR ALL.

AND THERE AIN'T NOTHING THAT YOU

OR THAT FLOYD-GARVEY-MURDERING HALF-WIT CAN DO TO STOP ME!

NOW WHAT DO WE DO?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING OUT HERE?

NOTHING, UNCLE EARL. WE, UM...

"UM, UM," WHAT?

WE CAME TO GET YOU FOR DINNER.

GRANDMA SENT US TO COME GET YOU GUYS.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU TWO RUN ALONG?

YOU TELL YOUR GRANDMA WE'LL BE THERE SHORTLY.

[ COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS ]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S SCARIER --

UNCLE EARL AND UNCLE ERNIE OR THE BOBS.

DO YOU THINK UNCLE EARL IS REALLY GONNA KILL UNCLE ERNIE?

AND WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON IN THAT OLD BARN?

SO, YOU TWO HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT?

TOO MUCH, GRANDMA. GOOD.

HEY, GRANDMA, WHO'S GUS-GUS?

DON'T KNOW. WHY? WHERE'D YOU HEAR THAT NAME?

GRANDPA AND UNCLE EARL WERE TALKING ABOUT HIM EARLIER.

OH, THAT WAS JUST SOMEBODY THEY KNEW WHEN THEY WAS KIDS.

AND IT'S NOT A HAPPY SUBJECT. I WOULDN'T BRING IT UP.

HEY, CATAN AND LEA. WANT TO GO PLAY SOME DODGE ROCK?

BOBBY BOB'S GONNA GO ROUND UP SOME BOULDERS.

SURE. YOU GUYS START WITHOUT ME, THOUGH.

I'M GONNA GO USE THE BATHROOM. YEAH. ME, TOO.

SMART THINKING.

UH, GO AHEAD. GO HIDE, BUT STAY AWAY FROM THE OLD BARN.

[ CRICKETS CHIRPING ]

I WONDER WHAT THE HECK'S SO DANGEROUS ABOUT THE OLD BARN.

I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO KNOW. I DO.

I MEAN, IF THE BOBS WEREN'T OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW,

I'D GO IN THERE AND CHECK IT OUT.

I MEAN, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO IN THAT STUPID SHED, ANYWAY?

I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT AT LEAST WE'LL BE SAFE FROM THE BOBS.

[ DOOR CREAKS ]

Lea: I BET THESE ARE THE MONSTER MOVIES

UNCLE EARL WAS TALKING ABOUT.

YEAH. I SAY WE OPEN IT.

MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T. DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO WORK THAT PROJECTOR?

YEAH, I MEAN, MY GRANDPA HAD ONE JUST LIKE IT,

AND HE SHOWED ME HOW TO USE IT ONCE.

IT'S EASY.

COME ON. WE'VE AT LEAST GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT'S IN HERE.

[ CREAKS ]

Catan: GUS-GUS.

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

DON'T YOU? I DON'T KNOW.

COME ON.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT WHO THIS GUS-GUS IS.

COME ON. YOU GOT TO GET THI.

OH, YEAH, HE GOT I! HE GOT THE BIG ONE!

Aunt Luleen: EDDIE AND ERNIE, LOOK OVER HERE AND SMILE.

IT'S GRANDPA AND UNCLE ERNIE.

AND UNCLE EARL,

AND AUNT LULEEN'S RUNNING THE CAMERA.

YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAM.

YOU GOT TO WIN THE CLAW-SWINGING GAME.

I'LL TRY. I SHOULD WN THE TEDDY BEAR.

OR THE TRUCK.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S INSIDE OF I.

OH, HE'S SO CLOSE! IT'S GETTING THERE.

COME ON. COME ON. LET'S GO.

COME ON! COME ON!

YOU CAN DO IT. IT'S GETTING THERE.

IT'S IN THE CHUTE.

WHAT IS IT?

LOOKS LIKE JUST A STUPID FUR BALL.

WHOA! HEY, IT'S ALIVE! I THINK I GOT A HAMSTE!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT THING IS, ERNIE,

BUT IT'S NOT A HAMSTER.

FOLLOW THAT THING, LULEEN!

[ SCREAMING ]

GO FIND IT, SOMEBODY!

THIS IS CRAZY!

THAT THING'S RABID.

[ SCREAMING CONTINUES ]

THAT WAS GUS-GUS.

HE LOOKS AN AWFUL LOT LIKE THAT THING WE SAW TODAY.

THAT'S WHY UNCLE ERNIE WAS ACTING SO WEIRD.

I BET UNCLE EARL WASN'T TALKING ABOUT KILLING UNCLE ERNIE.

I BET HE WAS TALKING ABOUT KILLING GUS-GUS.

NO WAY THERE'S A MONSTER ON THIS FARM.

LIKE THE BOBS AREN'T BAD ENOUGH.

Uncle Ernie: WHO'S IN THERE?!

OH! IT'S UNCLE ERNIE.

QUICK, GIVE ME THE BOX!

I CAN'T GET THIS REEL OFF. COME ON!

HEY!

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING IN HERE?

NOTHING, UNCLE ERNIE. OH, REALLY?

THEN WHY DON'T YOU SHOW ME WHAT YOU'RE HIDING BEHIND YOUR BACK?

WHERE'D YOU GET THAT?

WE DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY DODGE ROCK WITH THE BOBS,

SO WE CAME IN HERE TO HIDE AND FOUND THAT BOX OF MOVIES.

DID YOU WATCH THIS?

NO. NO.

OH! WE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO WORK THE PROJECTOR.

[ SIGHS ]

AND WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO COME IN HERE?

NO ONE, UNCLE ERNIE.

THEN GO BACK TO THE HOUSE, WHERE YOU BELONG.

AND FORGET YOU EVER SAW THIS BOX OF MOVIES, UNDERSTAND ME?

SURE THING, UNCLE ERNIE.

AND STAY AWAY FROM THE OLD BARN.

NOW GET!

[ SIGHS ]

I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING

TO CHECK THIS OUT. NO.

IF WE'RE GONNA DO IT, WE HAVE TO DO IT NOW,

WHILE EVERYONE'S ASLEEP.

[ ELECTRONIC HUMMING ]

THAT'S GUS-GUS?

HE SEEMS LESS SCARY THAN HE WAS THIS AFTERNOON.

THAT'S BECAUSE HE HASN'T EATEN YET.

YOU TWO NEVER SHOULD'VE COME IN HERE.

YOU WERE WARNED TO STAY OUT.

WE'LL LEAVE RIGHT NOW, UNCLE ERNIE. IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO US, UNCLE ERNIE?

ONLY THING I CAN DO NOW.

LET'S INTRODUCE YOU TO GUS-GUS.

PLEASE DON'T LET GUS-GUS KILL US, UNCLE ERNIE!

I DON'T WANT TO END UP LIKE FLOYD GARVEY OR --

YOU TOLD ME YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE GUS-GUS MOVIE.

YOU WATCHED THE FLOYD GARVEY MOVIE, TOO?! NO, UNCLE ERNIE.

WE OVERHEARD GRANDPA AND UNCLE EARL

TALKING ABOUT FLOYD GARVEY IN THE SHED.

AND WHAT DID HE SAY? THAT GUS-GUS ATE FLOYD GARVEY?

DID HE?

[ CHUCKLES ]

FLOYD GARVEY RAN AWAY AND JOINED THE CIRCUS.

GUS-GUS DIDN'T EAT HIM.

BESIDES, WHAT HAPPENED AT FLOYD GARVEY'S BIRTHDAY

WAS FLOYD GARVEY'S FAULT.

WHAT DID HAPPEN AT FLOYD GARVEY'S BIRTHDAY?

FLOYD GARVEY FED GUS-GUS SOME FRIED CHICKEN.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED AT FLOYD GARVEY'S BIRTHDAY.

GUS-GUS CAN'T EAT MEAT. IT DOESN'T AGREE WITH HIM.

IT MAKES HIM MEAN AND FEROCIOUS, AND FLOYD GARVEY KNEW THAT.

BUT GUS-GUS DIDN'T EAT FLOYD GARVEY

LIKE YOUR UNCLE EARL SAYS.

FLOYD GARVEY GOT AWAY.

AS LONG AS HE EATS PROPERLY, THERE'S NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

[ ELECTRONIC HUMMING STOPS ]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, UNCLE ERNIE?

I'M GONNA FEED GUS-GUS.

GUS-GUS EATS VEGETABLES?

YEP. BROCCOLI'S HIS FAVORITE.

[ GRUMBLING ]

I GOT TO FEED HIM 12 TIMES A DAY

OR THERE'LL BE THE CHICKENS TO PAY.

THE CHICKENS?

DID I SAY CHICKENS? I MEANT DICKENS.

THERE'LL BE THE DICKENS TO PAY.

SO GUS-GUS ONLY EATS VEGETABLES?

AND FRUIT.

AS LONG AS GUS-GUS STAYS AWAY FROM MEAT,

HE'S A SWEET LITTLE CRITTER.

[ GROWLING, GNAWING ]

THEN HOW COME HE WAS GROWLING AT US WHEN WE WERE IN THE ORCHARD,

AFTER HE ATE A BUNCH OF ORANGES?

PROBABLY BECAUSE HE ATE A BUNCH OF FIELD MICE, TOO.

AND, AS YOU KNOW, FIELD MICE ARE MEAT.

NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE HIM REAL MEAN, BUT...

[ BURPS ]

...ENOUGH TO MAKE HIM IRRITABLE.

SO IF GUS-GUS IS A PROBLEM, WHY DO YOU KEEP HIM?

'CAUSE THERE'S NO WAY TO GET RID OF GUS-GUS.

I'VE TRIED. [ CHUCKLES ] EVERYONE'S TRIED.

BUT GUS-GUS HAS GOT MORE LIVES THAN A CAT.

NO MATTER HORRIBLE THING HAPPENS TO GUS-GUS,

HE JUST KEEPS COMING BACK.

AND HE'S A SMART LITTLE BUGGER, TOO.

HE WATCHES EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE.

I FORGOT TO TURN THE ELECTRICITY BACK ON THIS MORNING.

THIS LITTLE BUGGER KNEW IT.

THAT'S HOW HE GOT OUT OF HERE.

AND IF YOU TWO ARE SMART,

YOU'LL STAY AWAY FROM THIS BARN, YOU HEAR ME?

DON'T EVEN THINK

ABOUT COMING BACK TO VISIT GUS-GUS WITHOUT ME.

DON'T WORRY, UNCLE ERNIE. WE WON'T.

HEY! THE HAIRY CRITTER'S IN THERE!

I SAY WE GO CHECK HIM OUT.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE BOBS THIS MORNING?

ME, NEITHER.

I'M SO GLAD THEY DIDN'T SLIME THE BATHROOM THIS MORNING.

ME, TOO.

OH, HI. HEY, GRANDMA.

GOOD MORNING, GRANDMA.

UM, CAN YOU TWO HEAD OVER TO THE HEN HOUSE

AND FETCH ME A COUPLE OF EGGS?

I'VE GOT TO GET STARTED ON GRANDPA'S BIRTHDAY CAKE.

SURE THING, GRANDMA.

HAVE EITHER OF YOU SEEN THE BOBS OR THE TWINS THIS MORNING?

HUH.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK, GRANDMA.

OKAY.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO GET EGGS FROM A HEN?

YEAH, YOU JUST REACH IN AND TAKE THEM.

SEEMS AWFULLY MEAN.

OH, THAT CAN'T BE GOOD.

[ SIGHS ] WE HAVE TO GET UNCLE ERNIE.

I THOUGHT I TOLD THE TWO OF YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS BARN!

I THINK GUS-GUS MIGHT'VE EATEN APRIL -- OR MAYBE IT WAS MAY!

WHERE'S GUS-GUS?! WE DON'T KNOW!

HE WAS GONE WHEN WE GOT HERE,

AND THIS WAS OUTSIDE HIS CAGE.

NOBODY'S SEEN THE BOBS THIS MORNING, EITHER.

THIS IS BAD, REAL BAD.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING, UNCLE ERNIE?

I'M GOING BACK TO THE HOUSE TO GET

SOME OF AUNT LULEEN'S PICKLED PIGS' FEET

TO FEED 'EM TO GUS-GUS.

PIGS' FEET ARE HIS FAVORITE.

IF I CAN FIND THAT LITTLE BUGGER,

I'M GONNA NEED SOMETHING TO LURE HIM WITH.

"CATAN AND LEA WAITED OUTSIDE THE HOUSE

"WHILE UNCLE ERNIE WENT INSIDE

"TO GET A JAR OF PICKLED PIGS' FEET.

"BY THE TIME UNCLE ERNIE CAME BACK OUTSIDE AGAIN,

THERE WAS A WHOLE LOT OF SCREAMING GOING ON."

AAAHH!

"THE BOBS WERE SCREAMING FROM A DISTANCE.

"THEY WERE RACING DOWN THE PATH IN A PANIC,

"AND THE BOBS' TWINS WERE, TOO.

A MOMENT LATER, CATAN AND LEA FIGURED OUT WHY."

[ GRUMBLING, GROWLING ] IT'S GUS-GUS, UNCLE ERNIE. IT'S GUS-GUS!

I SEE THAT, BOY.

LOOK WHAT I GOT FOR YOU, GUS-GUS!

GOT YOUR FAVORITE -- PICKLED PIGS' FEET.

[ GROWLS, GNAWS ]

I'VE NEVER SEEN GUS-GUS THIS FEROCIOUS.

THESE PIGS' FEET AREN'T WORKING. THEY'RE JUST MAKING HIM MAD.

HE WANTS SOMETHING MORE SUBSTANTIAL. LIKE WHAT?

WHAT IN THE TARNATION'S GOING ON OUT HERE?!

DANG IT, ERNIE, WHO'D GUS-GUS EAT NOW?

NOBODY...YET.

[ GROWLS ]

DO SOMETHING!

UNCLE EARL, DO YOU HAVE A LIGHTER? WHAT?

I THINK I KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF GUS-GUS.

GIVE ME A PIG'S FOOT!

THERE AREN'T MANY LEFT.

LET ME HAVE THAT THING, BOY, BEFORE YOU HURT YOURSELF.

LIGHT THE FUSE, UNCLE EARL.

[ GROWLING ]

HURRY, UNCLE EARL!

[ GNAWING ]

[ POP! ]

[ LAUGHTER ]

WHOA!

Boy: SOMETHING TELLS ME THIS ISN'T OVER.

OH, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!

"THAT NIGHT, WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY

"GATHERED AROUND GRANDPA TO SING 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY,'

"CATAN COULDN'T HELP THINKING ABOUT FLOYD GARVEY.

"AND HE WAS GRATEFUL

"THAT GRANDPA'S PARTY REALLY WAS A HAPPY OCCASION.

EVEN UNCLE EARL WAS SMILING, FOR A CHANGE."

All: 3, 2, 1!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[ CHEERS ]

WHAT'D YOU WISH FOR, GRANDPA?

WELL, NOW, YOU KNOW I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT,

BUT IT ALREADY CAME TRUE.

All: AWW!

SO I GUESS IT REALLY WAS A HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WASN'T IT, EDDIE?

IT SURE WAS, EARL.

I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT, IT WAS FINER THAN FROG HAIR.

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ GRUMBLING, GROWLING ]

WHAT IN THE BLAZES?

GOSH DARN. HEY, LOOK WHO'S BACK.

WE DIDN'T JUST BLOW HIM UP -- WE BLEW HIM INTO PIECES.

[ ALL SCREAMING ]
