Welcome to Cap'n Kelly's Chicken,

home of the new Chicken Shake.

What can I get you today?

Chicken Shake?

One Chicken Shake.
Anything else?

No, no, no. I don't
want a Chicken Shake.

I was just asking what is it?

Our new Chicken Shake,
made with real blended chicken meat

and whipped gravy,
all under 500 calories.

Would you like to try one?

No, no, no, no.
I'll just take a Barnyard Bucket.

For an extra dollar, you can upgrade
to a Mega Barnyard Bucket.

Okay, sure.

Okay, so I got a Mega Barnyard Bucket

with extra double gravy,
smooth, and a medium Red Rocket.

Will that be all?

Yeah, I'll try one
of those Chicken Shakes too.

Hi, are you Miss Arabella Isadora?

I'll get her for you.

PREBLE: Okay.

[FOREBODING SYNTHESIZER MUSIC]

ARABELLA:
Arabella Isadora at your service.

What can I do for you, young man?

Ma'am, did you send me this letter?

ARABELLA:
Ah, yes, I suppose I did.

PREBLE: Miss Isadora, it appears
we have no tax records for you.

Please call me Bella.

Bella, it appears we have no tax records
for you or your property.

Ooh, I see.

I'm here to perform
a preliminary audit.

Uh, so you'd like to come in?

Yes ma'am, the sooner I get started,

the sooner I'll be out of your hair.

Out of my hair and into my home.

To enter, you must lick

[MUSIC BOX TINKLING MUSIC]

Okay, and what is your
occupation or former occupation?

I... I never know
how to answer this.

Well, recently I've been painting.

Oh, I'd love to show you some.

And of course I'm always writing.

At the moment I'm writing
a story about an astronaut

who falls in love with a supernova.

And then I've been
composing songs for years

and working with machines
and gadgets, constructing.

I think of myself
as an atmosphere creator.

[SIGHS]

Okay, um,
I couldn't help but notice

all the tapes have been
not updated to the new format.

No, I'm old-fashioned.

You know the air sticks
became mandatory seven years ago.

I guess I lost track of time.

[FOREBODING SYNTHESIZER MUSIC]

I have to admit there's a lot more
than I was anticipating.

Well, then I better
make us some tea.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

[FLY BUZZING]

Just how many tapes
would you say you have?

2,000 or more?

[SIGHS]

Perhaps you could
recommend a motel nearby?

Oh, don't be silly.

You'll stay here with me
in Sugarbaby's room.

Oh no, I, I couldn't impose.

Oh, I insist.

Ma'am, I can't stay in your home.

- I, it's, it's fine--
- It'll be no bother to me or Sugarbaby.

You just make yourself at home.

Well, thank you for being so helpful.
I appreciate it.

Of course.
Well, this is gonna be fun.

Come on, Sugarbaby.

Let's let the tax man do his work, heh.

[SIGHS]

Arrived at the home of Arabella Isadora
on September 22nd, 2035.

It is now 2:51.

Arabella or Bella as she

in a spare room on the second floor.

It appears she has over 2,000 tapes.

I will begin my audit immediately.

I think I'm losing my mind.

To losing one's mind.

PREBLE: There's something
I don't understand.

I'm glad to hear that.

There was a bucket
of chicken in your dream,

but I couldn't see it.

Maybe you couldn't see it
because it wasn't supposed to be there.

[SOMBER SYNTHESIZER MUSIC]

Let me ask you something.

Do you believe that your
dreams are your own?

Of course.

And you don't think
anything should be transmitted

in there against your will?

Of course not.

What are you trying to say?

Jim and I developed this together.

Once we started wearing this,
the ads disappeared.

What ads?

The ads transmitting into our dreams
without us knowing.

That doesn't happen.

You of all people should know.

Don't you see them in there
when you're doing your work?

That's crazy.
Why would they do that?

Because it makes them money.

[SPEAKING FAINTLY]

I used to make them for my son,

but he was never interested.

You have a son?

Yes.

We don't see much of each other.

Oh yeah?
Why is that?

We don't see eye to eye.

I was very young when Peter was born.

His father and I
went to school together.

He was much older.

[SIGHS]

[SUSPENSEFUL SYNTHESIZER MUSIC]

He was an evil man.

And unfortunately,
Peter took after him in that regard.

If I could go back...

I would do things differently.

But that's life.

What was your second husband like?

He was a dream.

We had a wonderful life together.

You must be James Preble.

Bella was my mother.

Ah yes. Hello.

Terrible thing to lose your mother.
Very sad.

- Sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.

She was rather old,
so I guess it wasn't terribly surprising.

- She was a lovely woman.
- Yeah, she was. Listen, James.

I'd like to have a few words with you
about the last couple of days.

To be honest
I think her mind was slipping

these past few years,
or since Jim died.

I hope she didn't fill your head
with any of her nonsense.

You understand she was
totally delusional?

I wasn't aware.

Listen, my wife and son
are arriving this afternoon.

Why don't we all
have dinner here tonight

and we can all talk
and send you on your way.

This is my son, Brian.

why don't you take Brian

and start going through
Mother's belongings?

[MARTHA SNICKERS]

So did my mother ever mention me?

[SOMBER PULSATING SYNTHESIZER MUSIC]

Um...

just, just once, briefly.

But I didn't ask her
about her personal life.

I'm just here doing my job.

You find anything
interesting on the tapes?

She had a very vivid imagination.

[LAUGHS] Indeed she did.

So listen, I'm curious
if you don't mind my asking.

What is the protocol
on cases of this nature?

Well, it can be tricky
when someone passes mid-audit.

I personally deal with the living

so there will be a specialized unit
who comes in and takes over the case.

So your work is complete?

Well, my, my work is complete,

but the audit will be finished.

You understand
why someone in my position

needs to make sure
that his family is protected

from unwanted attention?

If you'll excuse me,
I should finish packing.

- What are you doing?
- PETER: All of these belong to us now.

They're still part of the audit.

What's wrong with you people?

Hey, bub.

My mother's dead.

The audit is over.

No, you'll have to square
that away with the Bureau,

but just so you know,
you and your family

have just committed a federal crime
and I'll have no choice but to report it.

[INSPIRATIONAL SYNTHESIZER MUSIC]

This island became our home.

We had everything we needed.

Fresh coconut water to drink.

Vegetables from underneath the sand.

And all the fish you could ever eat.

[BELLA LAUGHING]

We invented games
with seashells and pebbles

and pieces of driftwood.

Oh.

[BELLA LAUGHS]

And wrote novels in the sand.

[DOLPHIN CHIRPING]

For every dolphin in the water,
there was another in the sky.

Anything was possible on that island.

One morning Bella
turned me into a balloon

and I floated high
above the ocean waves.

Some days we were joined
by an old friend.

Played us some of the smoothest
tunes we'd ever heard.

We danced until
we couldn't dance anymore.

We fell in love.

And one night we turned into beets...

and had a front row seat
to the first dinner we ever shared.

To our house guest,
Mr. Preble.

[PREBLE WHISTLES]

Did you hear that?

Days stretched out in front of us
like diamonds on a necklace.

I don't feel so good.

What?

They're trying to kill you.

Come on, we have to go.

- Wait, why are they trying to kill me?
- Because of what you know.

- What do I know?
- You know about the ads.

- Do you know who my son is?
- No, who is he?

Guavatron industries
is the largest ad agency

in the whole country
and my son's their CEO.

Spider Death,
three times more deadly

than the other leading brands.

BELLA:
Don't look at that. Come on.

Do you know how they became
the biggest ad agency in the country?

- No, how?
- Because they put ads in our dreams.

- How do you know all this?
- Red Rocket soda, one sip--

Because the experiments, the rats.
Come on Preble, we have to go.

Captain Kelly's Barnyard Bucket.

Captain Kelly's. Captain Kelly's

[DRAMATIC INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC]

We've been at sea now for seven years
with no sign of Bella.

Despite our fruitless efforts thus far,
I have not given up hope.

For just last week, we found a stowaway
hidden amongst the potatoes.

He spoke of seeing
a woman in a white dress

whispering to a caterpillar
in a grassy meadow.

There's no doubt in my mind
it was Bella.

With this news,
my heart is light.

Richard and I have been playing
Bella's favorite tune before supper.

We end each day
with a prayer for Bella

that she is safe,
wherever she may be.

And we sing late into the night
knowing we will soon find her.

You were terrified.

What was that thing?

What do you have nightmares about?

You gotta loosen up, Preble.

I don't wanna go to your house.

I just wanna stay here,

It can't last.

Why?

Because the house is on fire
and you're gonna die soon.

But...

I'm here.

And you're here.

[SIGHS] Yeah, but once the fire
takes over the house,

you won't be.

You have to go back.

[WAVES CRASHING]

- You're bleeding again.

[SIGHS]

You have to turn yourself
into a caterpillar.

What?

Preble, I know this sounds crazy,

but you need to trust me.

[NOSTALGIC SYNTHESIZER MUSIC]

There's only one way home.

PREBLE:
So I turned myself into a caterpillar

and I swam across the ocean.

And when the ocean turned
into a desert, I crawled.

I crawled through the sand
for decades.

And then the snows came.

A massive snow storm
that lasted for centuries.

And then one day I started to feel
my body coming back to me.

Stinging snow against my face
made it impossible to see.

All the while knowing
that if I didn't make it back,

Bella's secret would die...

and the ads in our dreams
would just grow stronger.

And then I saw it.

I've been looking for you.

I know what you did.

I don't want you here.

That's no way to talk
to an old friend.

You're not my friend.

Really?

[SCOFFS]

I gave you everything you needed...

everything you ever wanted.

And you know why?

You don't even know what

You need me.

Goodbye, Bella.

I'm melting.

Melting, that's it.

The ice cream cone.

Ice cream cone?
What ice cream cone?

I like your song.

Thank you.

GRASS MAN:
Would you like to go for a walk?

Okay.

GRASS MAN:
I've loved you in many lifetimes,

in many forms,

in many places
through many storms.

In the desert,
lost at sea,

with little hope to comfort me.

But there you were,
all alone.

Arm in arm we made it home.
