Original subtitles

Jim.

Be with you in a minute, honey.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Give me five minutes.

It's okay, honey.

The club said they'd hold the table.

They took pity when I told them you'd be eating raw meat

from the ground for the next week.

You take such good care of me.

Of course I do.

You're the great hunter.

My very life depends on your skill.

I'll tend your fire.

All right, make fun. Go ahead.

A freezer full of venison will change your mind.

As if this trip had anything to do

with putting food on the table.

This is just an orgy of male bonding and you know it.

Well, what can I say? Men bond, women network.

Jim, I don't feel good about this trip.

Why?

Honey, I don't understand.

All the years I've gone dear hunting,

you've never said that.

Besides, Brad will be there.

And Paul's nephew.

That's the point.

All the other years, Paul was with you.

Yeah.

Day doesn't go by that I don't think about him.

This was a time of year he loved the best.

Look, I'm gonna be all right.

I promise.

Okay.

What can I say? Wives worry.

All right. That's good.

Leave it right there, Roger.

I thought this was for High Plains Cologne,

not the Beef Council.

They're there to make you look good. Right?

You mean by comparison, right?

You said it, I didn't.

That's enough, girl.

Don't make a meal of it.

Let's shoot one.

There we go.

Okay. Hey, Ray, take it in your other hand.

That's it. Beautiful.

Yeah, excellent.

Come on, smile. You love this stuff.

There you go. Excellent.

Hey Chuck, you got a good deal.

Listen, you better go on back and give Harry

a hand with the inventory.

All right.

Oh, come to me, baby.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

God, I was never colder in all my life

than sitting on that ledge for six hours waiting.

- It wasn't that cold. - Oh, sure.

You and Paul are out stomping

through the bushes keeping warm.

We drove that buck right up

your front door though, didn't we?

Could have taken it with a water balloon.

You gotta know the ground rules, Ray.

See, any shot that Brad takes is highly difficult

requiring great skill.

Any shot that you and I get off

is just a stroke of dumb luck

and only happened because he set us up.

- That sounds about right. - Yeah, right.

Here we go, girls.

This is the soft road divide.

Hey, this isn't the turnoff.

I'm trying a new way.

Whoa, take it easy, man.

There's no way to take this road easy.

You think Brad's bad, you should have

ridden with your uncle.

Paul was a wild man on these back roads.

He bruised my kidneys often enough, I tell you that.

Hey, I sure miss old Scratch.

Wait, Scratch, Why'd you call him that?

One of the things Paul liked best

about coming to the wilderness

was the freedom that gives a man to scratch,

long and hard, really dig in there

like they don't let you do in the city.

Yeah.

So you just put the little red dot

on the target and shoot, huh?

There's a little more to it than that.

Hey, you wanna put that thing down

before you shoot one of us in the back.

More likely to shoot myself from the foot.

That's a fine looking weapon, Brad.

These new radios, all the equipment.

- Yeah. - You must have spent

- a fortune. - I had a good year.

I'll tell you something else too, I think it's about time

we drag this party into the 21st century.

Hey, maybe next year we can all chip in,

buy a new Buggy mobile with all the options.

Yeah, maybe.

It's good to be in the old war horse

one more time though, isn't it?

- Yeah. - It was very understanding

of your uncle's estate when we asked to borrow it.

The family appreciated the eulogy.

And how you tried to save him and everything.

Well, he was my best friend.

Hey, now, the law says,

if you bring one down, you gotta gut it right there

and pack out all the meat yourself.

Well, how much does it weigh?

I don't know, what? Couple hundred pounds.

- Oh, easy. - Wait, 200 pounds?

Nobody can carry that much.

Hey, I can still bench 340,

or at least I could until this year.

I had some guy come over

When I was in the gym benching-

- He didn't ask him. - I didn't ask him

- to spot him. - To spot me.

And he picked up one side. And he picked up one side

of the weights, through all the weight over there,

it went over to the other thing,

- toward the rotators. - Toward the rotators.

- You had to ask! - I'll tell you what.

Even so, I can still drag out a couple hundred pounds

of meat if I bring it down.

Hey, look. What's that?

Pueblo ruin. I've forgotten the name.

- How old are they? - Hard to say.

They built layers on top of layers.

A lot of it's underground.

Beautiful. Can we stop?

- I love ruins. - Hey, we're here

to hunt deer, kid, not baskets.

And if you wanna stand a chance in hell

of bringing one of them down,

you better get with the program.

Yeah, that's where I spend most of my time

promoting the line.

It's been a great break for me.

High Plains Fashions. I never heard of it.

Oh yeah. It's a big new label.

Cologne, boots, even bedsheets.

I've been the National High Plains Man for about a year now.

Just about the best gig a model can get.

And they put clothes on my back, boots on my feet.

They even cap my teeth.

Doesn't own a thing, but he looks good in it.

I think it's time for me to water some pinyon pines.

Whew.

Long drive. Huh?

Forgive me for asking, but what's his damn problem?

Well, Brad was always number two on these trips.

Me, I, I don't care about things like who's in charge,

who holds the records.

It's always been very important to Brad.

If you don't like the guy any better than that,

why are you even with him?

Well, we were in school together,

Brad and I and Paul.

But I don't know, I,

I guess sometimes you hang on to people

you maybe don't even like, just because of the years.

You know, I know you're my uncle's friends

and, uh, you're older than me,

but I'd like to get this straight now.

He's not my platoon leader and you're not my dad.

Okay?

Okay.

Tell me about that one.

Let's grab some of this stuff.

Oh, great.

Someone else is already at the campsite.

- Hello. - Howdy.

Best natural campsite around. Huh?

I reckon.

Hey Brad, the old lean tooth's still here.

Yeah, you know, I think I know you.

We met about four or five years ago up on Yellow Ridge.

You're a professional hunter, isn't that right?

Right. Stan Brown's the name.

Yeah. I'm Brad Mueller.

That's Ray Bet ten camp. This is Dr. Jim Cole.

How do you do?

You had another fellow with you last time, didn't you?

Yeah. Yeah, that was Ray's uncle Paul.

He was killed six months ago.

What happened?

A storm knocked over a utility pole.

He got tangled up in a high-voltage cable.

You were there?

Yes.

Well I'm sure sorry to hear that.

So the kids taking his uncle's place.

That's right good.

How's the hunting this year? Right good?

There ain't no hunting this year.

You could a saved yourself the trip up here

if you'd stopped along the long way and taken a look.

Looked at what?

I ain't seen a game animal in a week.

They've been spooked outta this part of the world

and that's a fact.

What do you mean, spooked?

I wish I knew.

We'll find something.

Like this?

Um, don't I know you from somewhere?

Uh, maybe you've seen my picture.

Do you read, uh, Gentleman's Quarterly or Sunset?

How about American West?

Yeah. I seen that one downtown.

Yeah. I'm in most issues.

Yeah. High Plains.

You know, for men.

Fashions. Clothes.

Well I'm the National High Plains Man.

- Hey, Ray!

Come on up!

Join us, Mr. Brown, if you want to.

- Come on, Mr. Brown. - Yep.

This was, uh,

one of your uncle's favorite places.

He used to lay up here for hours.

Not saying a thing.

Just watching the stars.

I guess that's why he chose it.

I....-

Hell.

I guess I used up all my words at the memorial service.

It's just us up here now.

So, uh, live free, buddy.

We'll never forget you.

What'd you say?

I didn't say anything.

My father took me out to a dry lake bed

to see the stars.

What about the star on the horizon?

They bought me a telescope.

Like a map, never get lost.

Well, it's mighty pleasant to see a friendly face up here.

- It gets kind of lonely. - Yeah.

Where, where's your home base?

I don't have home base. I live here in the mountains.

- Is that right? - My animals!

Where in the hell are my animals?

Well they were right here.

Dammit all! How'd they get loose?

Well, they won't get far.

Tomorrow, we'll help you round them up.

Well, thank you.

There ain't no hunting' this year.

I ain't seen a game animal in a week.

They've been spooked out this part of the world

and that's a fact.

[Woman] I don't feel good about this trip, Jim.

A day doesn't go by that I don't think about him.

Well, I can still drag out a couple hundred pounds of meat

if/ bring it down.

Paul?

I appreciate you helping out.

It's all right, it's tough to track him

- through this stuff though. - Mm.

Well, for me maybe, but not for my old man.

He could track were an animal planned to go.

He must have seen this country

when it was something unbelievable.

Oh, he sure did.

And the stories he would tell me and my brothers,

and the stories he would tell my mother.

He could also attract a pretty woman

through half a dozen honky-Tonks in any kind of weather.

In and out of season, if you know what I mean.

You're the happily married type, ain't you?

- Guilty.

Nothing wrong with that, nothing.

I'd be the last man to talk against family,

seeing as how we were out here,

looking for all the family I got.

Hi.

Great.

- How you doing? - Okay.

- Okay. - Uh-huh.

Great morning. Isn't it?

Yeah. Just love it up here.

Uh-huh. Camping?

- That's right. - Uh-huh.

Just trying to find a little peace and quiet.

I'm Brad Mueller. This is Ray Bet ten camp.

- Hi. - on,

- Hi. - Hi.

We're, we're just camped over the ridge here.

Deer season, you know.

- You're hunters? - Mm-mm.

I'm the hunter. He's just learning.

Mm, well, we haven't seen much wildlife at all

on this side of the mountain. And I can assure you

that there's no wildlife to be found

in the middle of our camp.

Uh, you know, we had some horses

get away from us last night.

Did, uh, either one of your ladies happen to see him?

Well, we did hear something big moving around last night.

I bet you that was it.

It did give us just a little fright.

A little fright? It scared us half to death.

Well, maybe you'd feel safer if you camped with us.

You know, just until we found 'em.

I tell you what. If we see 'em, we'll catch 'em for ya.

There's plenty of room.

No, thank you.

Well, okay.

You know where we are if you need anything

or you, you just get lonely.

We came up here to get lonely.

- Frigid. - What do you mean, frigid?

She's just tired of getting hit on.

See it a lot in the city. Oh yeah.

You know so much about it.

All that aside, I'd say I know a lot more than you.

Oh yeah.

You were such a big help back there.

Famous movie star, famous macho hunk.

You can hardly open your mouth.

That's how it's done, Brad.

You, you take it slow. You ease him into it.

You know, you give 'em a chance to check you out.

- Ah! - You, you march into camp

and you're ripple your pecs and you announce

you're here to save 'em from the big, bad wolf.

Women have gone for that act since 1964.

- A great year. - You know,

I wasn't even born. Yeah, even better.

Hello!

Did you scare up anything? Any game?

Not a thing. And I mean nothing.

You're right about the game up here.

I don't even hear any birds.

Well, they, they come and go.

What's causing it? Drought?

Some kind of predator?

It ain't that dry.

What did you say?

What?

I thought you said something.

No.

Who the hell are you?

What the hell are you doing in our camp?

I want an answer!

- Come on. - Terry.

What the hell are you doing?

Oh, we're gonna have fun. You'll see.

Come on.

- Come on. - What are you doing?

- Just come on. - You're crazy.

- Right. - Okay.

So you didn't see any tracks at all, huh?

None we could follow.

And Stan's a professional tracker.

Oh, some professional.

He can't even keep his horses tied up.

I could say the same thing about your britches.

- What does that mean? - Drooling over them

hippie girls, when you were supposed to be

covering the west face.

- Where you going? - To get some peace and quiet!

Good hell.

When I wanna listen to old women nag each other,

I go visit my great aunt

in the nursing home!

Great.

Brad? Ray?

Yeah?

Want some company?

Absolutely.

Come here, sit down.

We're glad you're here.

What changed your mind?

Is that tequila?

Oh, yeah, sure is.

And I'm Stan handing it to ya.

Thanks, partner.

I never figured you girls for drinkers.

It looks like you figured wrong about a lot of things.

It gets boring looking at each other

in the walls of a tent after a while.

Yeah, and that herb tea and trail mix

can get mighty boring.

That's right. It's, um...

It's hard to get crazy on that stuff, ain't it?

So you still get crazy, old timer?

Every chance I get.

Damn.

Yeah.

Hey, hey. hey-

It's past your bedtime, old man.

I agree. We're both very tired.

You're dead wrong!

Come on, Mr. Universe, show me what you got.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Are you afraid of getting beaten

in front of the ladies, huh?

Yeah, I guess

all them muscles just for show.

Make it worth my while.

I Will.

Come on, Brad, come on, baby!

- Come on, Brad! - Oh yeah!

- You've got him, come on! - Whoo!

Do it! He sinking, come on, baby!

Yeah!

Come on! Oh, he's back up.

Let's go! Yeah, yeah!

Yeah, yeah!

Whoo! Come on.

Give her back.

Go suck your teeth.

Stay down, PUP-

[Terry] So you still get crazy, old timer?

[Stan] Every chance I get.

- Brad!

- Ray! - Come here, sit down.

Is that tequila?

I never figured you girls for drinkers.

Let's go, Brad!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Oh.

Ray.

What, what the?

What's going on here?

- Where'd they go? - Who, the-

- Them hippie girls.

They're gone?

Well, I guess I missed it.

You didn't miss nothing.

What the hell happened to her?

It's pretty damn obvious.

They drank us under the table.

No way, no-

- Brad, what does it matter?

It don't. I say we forget the whole damn thing.

Sorry about that punch, kid.

You know, it's funny, I hardly even feel it now.

Terry?

- Terry? - Sit.

Is that it?

Any more, boys?

Well, I know I didn't drink that much.

I mean, not enough to black out.

Doesn't take much up here.

Altitude and booze don't mix.

Throw in a couple of girls,

you've got a real potential for interaction.

Oh, come on, man.

I don't want a laboratory explanation here.

I mean, I was there and I didn't like what happened.

Mm.

So they paid us a visit and we got a little crazy.

I can accept that, but how'd they disappear?

Hell you two were in bed with 'em, weren't ya?

Seems like it.

It's all a little fuzzy this morning.

Fuzzy?

You hit me in the jaw for God's sake.

I hate this kind of thing.

Let's go ask 'em.

Brad, let's just leave 'em alone. Okay?

Last night is history. The booze is history.

We came here to snag Ray a buck!

And today's the day!

Great.

Ray, head in there.

By myself?

We'll be close. Test the radio.

You okay?

You know, Jim, I don't feel good about this.

I think we should just pack up and go home.

Give it a chance, Ray.

Besides, if we don't see any game today,

there'll be no point in staying.

That's a promise?

Yeah. That's a promise.

It happened again, didn't it?

- What do you mean? - Well, just like the horses.

I mean, them girls walked away from us

like they was invisible,

and I can tell you, I was tucked down real good

with that little Colleen

with no thinking about sleeping

and gone.

Unless you seen 'em?

No. No, I didn't see 'em.

Hello?

Terry?

Jim.

Jim!

It's blood, all right.

Hasn't been here long.

Comes from that way,

it goes that way.

So why are we going that way?

Brad? Brad, can you hear me?

Answer me.

Must be outta range.

Jim, I don't like this.

Hey, shh. We're getting closer.

Heads up now, Ray.

Deer get cranky when they're wounded.

This ain't deer. It's much bigger.

God in heaven.

What the hell?

Killing ground.

What could have done this, Stan?

Cougar, maybe. No man, for sure.

Let's get out here.

Wait.

[Ray] Shit.

What do you think?

I think blood rings the dinner bell.

It's me, empty-handed.

Oh my God.

I, I guess you guys had some luck after all.

"Some luck," you said?

Look at this animal.

Yeah, he's a, he's a beauty.

He's a beauty. He's a killer.

He's a monster.

He's came roaring and we got him.

- Who got him? - We, all three did.

He charged us.

I only heard one shot.

Three shots. All at the same time.

No way.

Check it out.

On the neck.

Open you up like a sack of manure.

Boys will be boys.

Where'd you get 'em, Jim?

Down the hill.

Found some blood.

Yeah, so I see.

- What are eating, Jim? - Liver!

Liver?

You guys are too much.

Well, give me a hand.

I'll dress him out for you.

Don't you touch it!

What the hell are you doing?

I'm gonna dress him out.

I can't believe you guys carried him up here, guts in all.

- It's our kill! - Well, it,

it doesn't matter whose kill it is, Jim.

You can't leave it like this with all this blood all over.

Don't you touch it!

I don't believe this. What do you wanna do?

Call in every scavenger for a hundred miles around?

Leave it alone!

This ain't a deer. It's much bigger.

God in heaven.

Jim, I don't like this.

Blood rings the dinner bell.

It's a monster.

Just came roaring and we got him.

I only heard one shot.

Open you up like a sack of manure.

Brad.

Brad.

What?

What do you want?

It's gone.

What's gone?

The bear we killed.

I didn't take it.

Scavengers.

No, no. It's not like that.

It's, it's just gone.

It's, it's gone like the girls are gone.

There's no blood on our clothes. There's...

It's like it never happened.

We're in trouble, Brad.

It may be

that we're going insane.

It was right there.

Right, right. That's, that's where I remember it.

And then Stan got a hold of it and he made the claws move,

and then you jumped back and then Jim leaped on you.

It was like some 50's caveman, B movie.

What'd you say?

Like some kind of movie?

Is that what this is to you? Some sort of play acting?

No, Brad.

That's what I thought at first too.

Bunch of city kids put something to my food,

make me crazy and laugh at what happens,

but, uh, that ain't it.

You gotta believe that.

Then what the hell happened?

There was a black bear right there and it was dead.

For God's sake, Brad, forget about the bear.

Look at us.

Look what we did.

We went right around the bend crazy.

- We nearly killed you. - No.

I would've killed you. I wanted to kill you, Brad!

Considering everything that happened, I'd say

it's a good thing we didn't go visit those girls.

I did.

- What? - Oh, and how

was your afternoon?

Or should I say afternooner?

They weren't there.

Their tent was still there, but there was no sign of them.

Why did you do that, Brad?

I wanted to see her again.

I thought maybe since she left me a note, maybe-

- Wait, she left you a note?

You never said she left no note.

Well, it wasn't a note.

It was just scrawled in the dirt.

- What did it say? - You know, uh-

- Exactly what did it say, Brad?

"Must leave now."

All right, that's it. That's all for me.

I'm wrapped, I'm outta here. Hey, Ray.

No, no, no. You know, the girl's absolutely right.

I wanted to bail yesterday but you said,

no, I should have the experience of the hunt.

Well, I've had it. All right, I've had it!

You know what, Brad, I'm gonna give you

a different line reading on that.

It's II , Mus t le now!"

He's right. Let's get the hell outta here.

There was nothing wrong with that jeep.

It should have turned over.

There was gas in the tank.

Juice in the battery.

Maybe we are going crazy.

Well, let's get warm and crazy.

Hey, I'll build a fire.

What was that?

You know, they say this place is, uh, haunted.

I don't know about the rest of you gentlemen,

but I've, I've sat still for about as much mystery

as I'm going to. Yeah, I think you're right.

I'm with you.

Where do you think it's coming from?

Hard to tell.

Not hard for me.

Mueller, come on.

Eh.

Bad stink in here.

Like something died.

Oh my God.

What is that?

Honey.

My saddle horse.

Jim, you better get in here and take a look at this.

You're right.

Look at the way this incision follows

the contour of the bone.

This is more like an autopsy.

What else?

He's a good size buck.

And the bear.

Is that the bear we shot?

What the hell is this?

Kathleen.

We got some doped up Manson-type running around

out there, carving up animals and maybe people too.

I say we find the son of bitch, we take him down!

No, there's only one plan at this point.

Let's just call in the Marines.

Yes, it'd be the Marines that would come that'd be great,

but it won't be the Marines, it'll be TV news

and court-appointed attorneys followed by shrinks

followed by docudrama writers. Come on, yeah, yeah.

And three years from now, they give this animal

a bottle of pills and they set him free!

You know this can happen.

He's got a point.

He's got a point, but we have no choice.

Two to two, deadlock.

It's not a deadlock, Brad!

There are five of us here!

And if number five doesn't soon

get to one of those shrinks you hate so much,

she may not make it!

This is not a debate!

I'm going for help.

She needs you here.

You're the only one with any medical training.

- I'll go. - Yeah, me too.

No, no offense, Stan,

but you'll just slow me down.

I run the mile in six. I walk it in 14.

What? Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hi! Hi!

Hey, wait.

I'll take, hi, it's, I'm Brad Mueller.

I got a couple friends back down there.

Girl in trouble. Can you give us a hand?

Well, here, look.

Hey!

Paul?

Why would he be shooting?

I don't know, but one of us should go after him!

Dang, two of us should go after him.

Jim.

Brad!

Maybe there are ghosts.

What do you mean?

Brad wasn't long in personality,

but I figure he had good instincts as a hunter.

So how did he get himself bushwhacked?

Well, the Wind's dying down.

I'll get some stones for the grave.

What?

I didn't say anything.

Oh.

I'll say something.

This man was a loyal friend

and a good companion.

I knew him for many years

and he was never dishonest with me.

He demanded a lot of people,

but also of himself.

I'm gonna miss the challenge of being his friend.

Jim, I've got the grave ready.

Jim, get up. Where the hell is Brad?

It happened again.

Where have you been?

I was getting the stones,

sat down and closed my eyes for a few minutes.

For four hours.

No way.

Your, your name is Ray, right?

That's right. I'm Ray.

My name is Ray.

Brad died.

That's right, honey.

Oh, I was sad.

So sad.

- Kathleen- - Just.

What happened to your friend, Kathleen?

Did someone attack you?

A man?

It was a man.

But not really.

I...-

He, he, he made us feel things.

We were afraid

then we were happy.

And then all we wanted was you guys.

To be with men!

Any men!

Then we were ashamed.

Then we had no control!

He owned us!

What did he look like?

Blonde.

Black and white shirt.

Is that the man?

That's insane! That's my uncle!

Did he kill Terry?

Terry killed herself.

Shh. Shh.

You've seen him too, didn't you?

Well then maybe he's not dead after all.

Paul is dead.

I saw him die.

We scattered his ashes. This isn't Paul.

Then what the hell?

- No, no, no. - Who is he?

What is it? No person could have done this.

All along, he's been manipulating our moods.

Maybe even our sense of reality.

Playing with us?

Worse. Experimenting with us.

Experimenting?

I don't know why I didn't see this before.

Hell, I do the same thing every day in the lab!

I put animals in confinement and I study their behavior.

He gives a stimulus like the girls,

like Brad's body.

We fight over the girls, we spill our guts with grief,

and he sits back and watches,

making notes.

And then when it's over,

he cleans the cage.

Cleans the cage?

He makes it look as if nothing happened,

tries to make us forget so we're fresh

for the next experiment.

Hell, there was even a control group.

One of us was always on the outside. Right?

Brad, didn't slice up the bear.

You weren't at the funeral.

I never saw the girls until now.

You're right.

Yeah.

We're just rats in a cage.

Get the guns. These rats are getting outta here.

Let's go.

Uh!

What's wrong?

- Mm!

We can't get out this way.

- Let's go back. - What is it?

Some kind of energy field.

Follow me.

I can't see a top to it. Maybe we can climb out.

Here. Stay here, I'll check it.

I don't see anything.

Oh!

What is it?

The edge of the cage.

We're not even gonna try to bust through that barrier?

What chance have we got?

This isn't the CIA doing this or the Russians

or Charlie Manson.

I don't know anything on Earth

that has this kind of power and sophistication.

What do you mean, anything on Earth?

Just what I said, Ray.

I want out of this prison

and the only way is to go for the man with the keys.

All right, fine, you wanna go

hunt this thing down and kill it?

We will but can we at least stay together?

We can't do that, every time we're together,

we run the risk of it influencing our judgment.

We might end up shooting each other.

And laughing while we do it.

Remember honey, you stay in this room.

Let's go.

Dammit.

I just don't understand how a being

so obviously advanced can be so cruel.

Care so little about life.

Big fish eat the little fish.

I know it's the way of the world,

but is it the way of all worlds?

I don't understand this either.

What's a truck doing here?

Everything else in this room is a life form.

Well, maybe this thing don't know the difference.

It would have to, have to.

Besides, why just this?

Why didn't it take the guns or the, the radios?

I don't know. Maybe he just likes the color.

Color.

Paul liked the color.

Jim, let's get this straight.

This thing might be able to make itself

look like your friend,

but it can't become your friend.

Remember that.

I know. I know.

Ray, this is Jim.

We've discovered something.

Ray, what's wrong?

Jim.

Ray?

He's here.

It's Uncle Paul.

Shoot it, Ray!

It's not your uncle!

Shoot it, Ray!

No!

Shoot it!

Go back! Go back!

Go on!

Forget the guns. They're no use.

Ray, it changed.

It's Paul when he got back-

- I know, I saw it changing.

I was just thinking about it when he was-

- You were thinking about your uncle, right?

This is the way you remember him.

Do it again.

Think about him another way.

- What do you mean? - Think about a moment.

Go on. Talk to it.

Go on. You're an actor, for God's sake.

Play the part.

Okay, soldier boy.

Here I am.

Come and get me.

Well, come on.

Gee, gee, Uncle Paul.

I love coming to this place.

It's a like paradise over here.

What the hell?

What's happening, Jim?

Paul, I gotta admire a man who gets drunk

on his own wedding day.

Somebody else! Talk to him!

Hey, lieutenant. Let me buy a drink.

It reads our memories and that's what it becomes.

Keep it going. Keep it going.

You and your bride look just great, Uncle Paul.

Good to see you again. Mr. Bet ten camp.

Hey, Paul.

What do you think of the war now you're back?

Uncle Paul, take Aunt Marie.

Oh, Paul,

why did it have to happen?

I tried to save you,

but it was no use.

You took 10,000 volts, buddy.

10,000 volts!

10,000 volts!

10,000 volts!

10,000 volts!

10,000 volts!

10,000 volts!

10,000 volts!

It had the chance. It was coming right at me.

Why didn't it kill me?

'Cause you confused the hell out of it.

What did I do?

You turned to face it.

You were gonna sacrifice your life for ours, weren't you?

Lab animals don't do that,

people do.

No honey, I'm okay.

Just be a little late. That's all.

No, I, uh, I slept pretty well last night.

Well, who knows?

Maybe in another couple of weeks,

I'll be able to dream about something else.

What?

No, no, I'm very tired tonight.

I'll definitely be home in half hour.

Okay.

I love you too.

Bye.
