BIG FREAKIN' GATOR AHEAD.

LET'S GO.

HERE WE GO!

WHOA.

ALL RIGHT.

WHOA.

YOU WIMP.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I WIMPED OUT, MAN.

DID YOU SEE HOW BIG HE WAS?

I THINK THAT WAS ELMER.

( laughs )
I WONDER-- I WONDER IF ELMER

REMEMBERS WHEN I FELL ON HIM
LAST SUMMER.

YOU KIDDING?

THOSE THINGS ARE DUMBER
THAN A STUMP.

HE CAN'T REMEMBER
WHAT HE HAD FOR BREAKFAST.

( police radio jabbers )
A SQUAD CAR.

DEPUTY DON, RIDING TALL.

( both giggle )
OKAY, LET'S GO.

( both giggle )
OKAY, LET'S GO.

THREE.

EIGHT.

I WON... AGAIN.

MAN, YOU ALWAYS WIN.

THESE THINGS KEEP ON FOGGING.

I'M GONNA SMASH 'EM ONE DAY,
I SWEAR.

CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR MOM
MADE YOU GET THOSE.

SEVEN.

SHE'S EVIL LIKE THAT.

YOUR TURN.

HEY, YOU MISSED MY
LAST-DAY-OF-SCHOOL MASTERPIECE

TODAY.

OH, SORRY, I WAS IN THE LAB
FREEING SOME FROGS.

WHERE WERE YOU?

WELL, I WAS IN SHOP CLASS,
WORKIN' ON IT.

WORKING ON WHAT?

A BLOODY SKELETON HEAD.

WICKED!

WHAT'D YOU DO WITH IT?

WELL, I RIGGED IT INTO
MARY McKAY'S LOCKER,

AND AS SOON AS SHE OPENED
THE DOOR, IT SPRUNG OUT AT HER.

SHE'LL NEVER FIND OUT
WHO DID IT AND IT'LL BOTHER HER

ALL SUMMER LONG.

OH, MAN, THAT'S ALMOST
AS GOOD AS LAST YEAR'S.

YEAH.

SO... YOU WANNA GO SPY ON BOB
AND SEE WHAT NEW JUNK HE'S GOT?

YEAH, WE HAVEN'T BOTHERED
HIM IN A WHILE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

YOU ARE PRETTY PATHETIC
AT SKIPPING STONES.

YOU DO KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?

YEAH, YEAH.

WHAT IS HE DOING?

I DON'T KNOW.

LOOKS LIKE--
LIKE HE'S... JUST SITTING.

( dog barks )
HEY, BOB, IT'S ME, DANNY.

EASY, PETEY.

DOWN, BOY.

WHAT'S UP, BOB?

SHUSH.

I'M LISTENIN'.

OH.

( whispers ) WHAT ARE YOU
LISTENING FOR?

GATOR FACE.

( laughs )
HAVE YOU-- HAVE YOU HEARD

ANYTHING YET?

NAH, STILL TOO EARLY.

THE FOGS ARE JUST STARTIN'
TO RISE.

GONNA BE A COUPLE OF MORE
NIGHTS BEFORE HE FEELS SAFE

TO MOVE AROUND.

APPLE CIDER?

HOMEMADE.

THANKS, BOB.

YEAH, THANKS.

YOU KNOW, BOB,
I THINK THIS SUMMER I MIGHT

ACTUALLY CATCH A GLIMPSE
OF GATOR FACE.

YEAH, MAYBE.

WELL, HE'LL SHOW HIMSELF
WHEN HE'S READY.

AND ONLY HE CAN DECIDE
WHEN IT'S TIME TO COME OUT

OF THE SWAMPS.

AND, UH, HOW CAN YOU BE SO
SURE THAT HE'S IN THERE, BOB?

OH, I KNOW IT,
LIKE I KNOW MY OWN NAME.

SEE, I CAN FEEL HIS PRESENCE
IN THE SWAMPS.

I CAN FEEL HIS LONELINESS.

SO, I KNOW HE'S OUT THERE
SOMEWHERE...

NOT REALLY SURE WHAT HE IS,
OR EVEN WHERE HE BELONGS.

WELL...

THE LEGEND OF GATOR FACE.

BEEN A PART OF THIS TOWN
SINCE... WELL...

SINCE I WAS A BOY
ABOUT YOUR SIZE.

( chuckles ) I CAN REMEMBER IT
LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.

ESPECIALLY THE EXPRESSIONS
ON THE PEOPLE WHENEVER THOSE

TWO WORDS WERE UTTERED--
"GATOR FACE"--

AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEIR BLOOD
JUST RUN COLD.

HEH HEH HEH.

YOU KNOW MY FATHER WAS
THE ONLY MAN EVER TO SEE HIM

UP CLOSE?

PART MAN...

PART ALLIGATOR.

THAT'S WHAT HE IS.

A... WILD BEAST OF PREY,
CONFUSED WITH HUMAN THOUGHTS

AND EMOTIONS.

MYSTERIOUS.

AN INCREDIBLE CREATION
OF NATURE.

COVERED FROM HEAD TO TOE
WITH SHIMMERING GREEN SCALES.

HAD DAZZLING BLUE EYES,
ALMOST HUMANLIKE,

BUT HE HAD THE HEAD AND FACE
OF A LIZARD.

HE SAID HE WAS BEAUTIFUL,
GRACEFUL-- ALMOST GENTLEMANLY.

MUST BE THE MOST UNIQUE
AND INCREDIBLE CREATION

ON GOD'S EARTH.

AND I HAVE SPENT
THE BETTER PART OF 50 YEARS

RIGHT HERE IN THIS SWAMP,
AND I'VE NEVER,

EVER HAD A GLIMPSE OF HIM.

NOT EVEN ONCE.

BUT I KNOW HE'S OUT THERE
SOMEWHERE,

IN THE HEART OF THIS SWAMP,
ALL ALONE...

IN THE HEART OF THIS SWAMP,
ALL ALONE...

WELL, IT'S BEST YOU BOYS
GET GOIN' HOME, ISN'T IT?

HMM?

( clears throat ) UH,
YEAH, BOB.

THANKS FOR THE CIDER.

YEAH, THANKS, BOB.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

YEAH, THANKS.

UH, SEE YOU LATER, BOB.

NOW, YOU BE CAREFUL
GETTIN' HOME.

AND KEEP AN EYE OUT.

UM...

YEAH.

COME ON, LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.

RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

Y-- YOU-- YOU DON'T BELIEVE
ALL THAT GATOR FACE STUFF,

DO YOU?

NO WAY.

YEAH, I-- I REMEMBER
ALL THE OLDER KIDS AT SCHOOL

USED TO TELL ME THAT IF YOU
TRIED TO RUN AWAY,

GATOR FACE WOULD, LIKE,
WHIP HIS TONGUE OUT AT YOU

AND CATCH YOU A MILE AWAY
OR SOMETHING.

YEAH, MAN, THAT'S JUST LIKE
MY OLDER BROTHER CHIP.

USED TO TELL ME ALL THESE
GATOR FACE STORIES AND TRY

AND SCARE ME.

LIKE WHAT?

WELL, LIKE, HE COULD CRUSH
YOUR BRAIN OUT OF YOUR HEAD

WITH ONE HAND.

AND HE'S GOT THESE LASERS
THAT COME OUT OF HIS EYE

AND, LIKE, BURN A HOLE
IN YOUR HEART.

( chuckles nervously )
YEAH, SO, UH,

IT'S KINDA LATE, MAN.

HOW'RE YOU GONNA GET PAST
YOUR FOLKS?

MY DAD'LL PROBABLY BE ASLEEP
IN FRONT OF THE TV

WITH A WARM BEER IN ONE HAND
AND A SANDWICH IN THE OTHER.

IT'LL BE TOO EASY.

YOU KNOW, I BET YOUR FOLKS
STARTED OUT ALL RIGHT--

THEY JUST GOT CAUGHT.

I MEAN, WHEN YOU'RE IN A PLACE
LONG ENOUGH, YOU TURN INTO

WHAT IT WANTS YOU TO BE.

FOR INSTANCE-- VERNON.

IF YOU STAY IN VERNON TOO LONG,
YOU'RE GONNA END UP

LIKE CRAZY OLD BOB.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
WITH NORMAL PARENTS.

I'D GIVE ANYTHING
TO HAVE YOUR DAD.

YEAH, YEAH.

GUESS I GOT KINDA LUCKY.

BUT CHIP?

COME ON, HE'S NOT LUCKY.

THE GUY'S GOT A BRAIN THE SIZE
OF A MONKEY'S.

HA HA!

( twig snaps )
WHOA.

SOMETHIN' BIG JUST MOVED
OVER THERE, MAN.

PHIL, COME ON.

SHH!

COME ON, I'M SERIOUS.

IT WAS MOVING RIGHT--
RIGHT IN THE TREES, UH--

OVER THERE.

IT WAS-- IT WAS BIG.

DIDN'T YOU SEE IT?

NO, I MUST'VE MISSED IT.

LET'S GO.

NO, WAIT, THERE'S SOME...

IT'S FOLLOWING US.

COME ON.

( twigs break )
AAH!

AAHH!

PHIL, HELP!

HELP!

HA HA.

HEY, BUTTHEAD.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN HERE
IN THE SWAMP, HUH?

DIDN'T DAD GROUND YOU?

WELL, THAT'S MORE FAVOR
YOU OWE ME NOW, PUNK.

YOU KNOW DAD DOESN'T LIKE YOU
HANGIN' AROUND WITH THAT

OLD JUNK MAN.

ANY FLAK FROM YOU--
OR YOUR LITTLE FRIEND--

AND DAD'LL HEAR ABOUT
YOUR LITTLE ADVENTURE HERE.

NOW, GET HOME!

COME ON, LET'S GO.

FORGET ABOUT IT.

MONKEY BRAIN!

YOU WERE SCARED, ADMIT IT.

ME?

YOU WERE READY TO PISS
YOUR PANTS!

OH, MY GOSH.

BOB'S ALMOST GOT US BELIEVING
HIS GATOR FACE STORIES.

( giggles )
GATOR FACE.

OOH!

( chuckles )
( heavy breathing )

( chuckles )
( heavy breathing )

( dogs bark )
I HEARD THE MAYOR'S WIFE

IS MAKING ONE OF HER
STRAWBERRY CREAM CAKES FOR

THIS YEAR'S SUMMER BARBEQUE.

I HATE STRAWBERRIES.

( glass clinks )
MOM?

MM-HMM?

DANNY THREW FOOD
IN MY WATER.

OH, DANNY, APOLOGIZE
TO YOUR BROTHER.

I'M SORRY, CHIP.

I WAS AIMING FOR YOUR
ORANGE JUICE.

OH, YOU'RE REAL FUNNY.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE,
ANYWAY, MICHAEL JORDAN?

GET A LIFE.

CHIP, EAT YOUR EGGS.

MY EGGS ARE GONE ALREADY.

WELL, THEN, MOVE ON
TO THE BACON!

GOSH, USE SOME INGENUITY.

OH, YOU'RE ALWAYS
A COMEDIAN, AREN'T YOU?

YOU THINK SKILLS LIKE
FOOD-THROWIN' ARE GONNA MAKE

YOU A LIVING SOME DAY, HUH?

NO, CHIP, I PLAN TO LIVE
IN THIS STINKIN' TOWN

TILL I'M 19, JUST LIKE YOU.

ALL RIGHT, NOW,
THAT'S ENOUGH.

LET'S JUST SETTLE DOWN.

OH, WHICH REMINDS ME-- JOHN?

ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME
FOR THE BOYS' SUMMER LECTURE?

( clears throat )
ALL RIGHT, BOYS.

NOW, I KNOW VERNON IS NOT
THE ENTERTAINMENT CAPITAL

OF THE WORLD, BUT I'VE GOT
THE MAYOR AND HIS WIFE

BREATHIN' DOWN MY NECK ENOUGH
THIS SUMMER WITHOUT HAVING

TO HEAR ABOUT YOU AND YOUR
BUDDY PHIL GETTIN' INTO

TROUBLE--
PULLIN' FIRE ALARMS

AND MAKIN' PRANK CALLS
AND FILLIN' THE TOWN FOUNTAIN

WITH BUBBLE BATH.

Y'ALL HEAR WHAT I'M GETTIN' AT
HERE, RIGHT?

REMEMBER, I'M THE SHERIFF.

YEAH.

YEAH.

JUST TRY AND ENTERTAIN
YOURSELVES THIS SUMMER WITHOUT

GETTIN' ME INTO TROUBLE.

( sighs )
I'LL TRY MY BEST.

( glass clinks )
( dog whimpers )

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT'S FUNNY, I GUESS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU GUESS?

I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST...

IT'S NOT AS GOOD
AS THE OLD DAYS.

LIKE, REMEMBER LAST CHRISTMAS
WHEN WE STOLE THE BABY JESUS

FROM MS. CRABTREE'S LAWN
AND WE LEFT THAT RANSOM NOTE?

THAT WAS A PRANK WITH SOME
THOUGHT BEHIND IT.

YEAH, THAT WAS
MY
THOUGHT.

ALL YOU WANTED TO DO
WAS PUT SUNGLASSES

ON THE WISE MEN.

WELL...

WELL, YOU'RE A THINKER.

I'M JUST THE ACTION MAN.

I DON'T KNOW, IT-- ( scoffs )
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WE'RE

RUNNING OUT OF GOOD THINGS
TO DO.

PHIL, IT'S THE FIRST DAY
OF SUMMER.

I'M JUST GETTIN' WARMED UP.

I'LL HAVE SOME KILLERS
BY THIS WEEKEND.

( dog barks )
OH, MY GOD.

MY LAUNDRY!

UH-OH.

LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.

YOU DUMB DOG-- COME ON!

GIVE IT-- GIVE IT--
GIVE IT BACK TO ME!

COME ON.

WHOA!

OH, IT'S SO HOT.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY?

I DON'T KNOW.

STILL THINKIN' ABOUT IT.

OKAY, LET'S JUST NOT END UP
ON TOP OF THE WATER TOWER,

DOING NOTHING.

I CAN'T DEAL WITH THAT TODAY,
OKAY?

HI, BOYS.

HEY, SKEETER.

CAUGHT ANYTHING YET?

I'M NOT FISHIN'.

"SOUR APPLES WARD OFF BADNESS
FROM HE WHO CASTS THEM

INTO THE ROAD."

OH, RIGHT.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

I BEEN TOLD.

ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN LIED TO?

WHEN BADNESS IS CONCERNED,
ONE DOES NOT TAKE CHANCES.

RIGHT, EMMETT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHATEVER YOU SAY, SKEETER.

( laughs )
MAYBE YOU BETTER WAIT

OUTSIDE FOR A MINUTE, PHIL.

THE MAYOR AND HIS WIFE
ARE IN THERE BUYIN' SOME MEAT.

WELL, IF IT ISN'T
THE UNPUNISHED YOUNG MAN

WHO THREW A ROCK THROUGH
MY WINDOW LAST SUMMER.

NOW THAT SCHOOL'S OUT AGAIN,
I ASSUME WE CAN EXPECT MORE

OF THE SAME FROM YOU AGAIN?

WELL, IF YOU CAN ASSUME
THAT IT WAS I WHO THREW A ROCK

THROUGH YOUR WINDOW,
I CAN ASSUME THAT YOU'LL

BE ASSUMING ANYTHING.

YOU WATCH YOURSELF,
MR. SMART-MOUTH!

YOU ARE TALKING
TO THE MAYOR'S WIFE.

I'M GONNA BE WATCHING YOU
THIS SUMMER.

AND DON'T YOU FORGET,
I HAVE A DIRECT LINE

TO YOUR DADDY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT
THE SHERIFF OF VERNON

LETS HIS SON TURN OUT
AS UNDISCIPLINED AS YOU.

BOTH OF YOU NEED TO SPEND
LESS TIME HANGING AROUND THAT

CRAZY OLD HERMIT IN THE SWAMP.

HEY, BOB IS NOT CRAZY.

DON'T YOU TALK BACK TO ME.

HE IS A FILTHY,
CERTIFIABLE OLD FOOL.

I HAVE HALF A MIND
TO HAVE HIM LEGALLY COMMITTED.

( dog barks )
HEY, PETE.

( whimpers )
HEY, YOU'RE HURTING HIM.

THERE IS NO COLLAR
ON THIS DOG.

BECAUSE IT'S PETE.

PETE DOESN'T LIKE COLLARS.

WELL, LET'S SEE HOW HE LIKES
BEIN' IN THE POUND.

THURSTON!

YES, DEAR?

THURSTON, THIS DOG IS GOIN'
STRAIGHT TO THE POUND.

NOW, I'M SURE WE CAN
STRAIGHTEN THIS ALL OUT.

NOW, NOBODY WORRY, NOW.

WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT BOB
TAKES HIM HOME BY THIS

AFTERNOON.

WELL, MAYOR CHADSTONE,
WHAT I CAN DO IS--

WHAT YOU CAN DO IS TELL
THAT CRAZY OLD FOOL IF HE WANTS

TO SEE HIS DOG AGAIN,
HE CAN PAY THE PROPER FEES

JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

DON'T YOU TWO FORGET,
I'M GONNA BE WATCHIN'

BOTH OF YOU THIS SUMMER.

I WON'T STAND FOR ANY MAYHEM
IN THIS TOWN.

ONE OF THESE DAYS, MAN...

SOMEHOW, SOME WAY...

I'VE
GOT
TO GET HER.

MY LIFE WON'T BE COMPLETE
UNTIL THAT DAY.

MY LIFE WON'T BE COMPLETE
UNTIL THAT DAY.

YOU SAID WE WEREN'T GONNA
END UP HERE TODAY, REMEMBER?

MM-HMM.

HEY, UH, I--
I HAD ANOTHER DREAM LAST NIGHT.

ABOUT GREEN SPACE MUTANTS.

FIRST, THESE HUGE SHIPS, RIGHT?

CAME FLYING OUT OF THE SKY,
STARTED BLOWING UP EVERYTHING

IN TOWN, RIGHT?

THEN THE MAYOR'S WIFE COMES OUT
IN THE STREET AND SHE GOES,

"HELP ME! HELP ME! ALIENS!"
RIGHT?

AND THEN ONE OF THESE SHIPS
CAME DOWN-- BOOM! BOOM!

HIT HER RIGHT IN THE HEAD,
DROVE HER INTO THE GROUND

LIKE A NAIL.

MAN, YOU ALWAYS HAVE
THE BEST DREAMS.

ALL I EVER DREAM ABOUT
IS FULLY-CLOTHED GIRLS

IN THE SHOWER.

( chuckles )
( sighs )

MAN, I CAN'T STAND THIS
ANYMORE.

WHAT?

THE ONLY THING GOING ON
IN THIS TOWN THAT'S EVEN

REMOTELY EXCITING IS THE STUPID
BARBEQUE.

WHO CARES ABOUT THAT, ANYWAY?

I-- I WISH SOMETHING AMAZING
WOULD HAPPEN, LIKE RIGHT NOW.

THAT WAS NO DREAM YOU HAD
LAST NIGHT, PHIL.

THAT WAS FORESIGHT.

WHAT?

I GOT SOMETHING.

I GOT SOMETHING GOOD.

YEAH.

HERE IT IS.

WHERE'D YOU GET THAT?

CHIP GOT IT WHEN HE
WAS IN THE NAVY.

CHIP WAS IN THE NAVY?

YEAH, FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

THEY KICKED HIM OUT
FOR OVERSLEEPING.

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE
TO YOU?

I DON'T KNOW...

A WETSUIT?

JUST WATCH.

COME ON.

♪♪
Phil: WOULD YOU HURRY UP?

I'M SWEATING LIKE A PIG
IN HERE.

COME ON.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

LOOKS GREAT-- UH--
HEY, HEY, HOW YOU DOIN'

IN THERE?

HOW YOU DOIN'?

OKAY?

GOOD, MAN.

YOU LOOK AMAZING.

OKAY, HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

YOU CAN SEE YOURSELF.

COME ON, I CAN'T SEE
A THING.

I NEED MY GLASSES.

PHIL, A SWAMP MUTANT
DOES NOT WEAR GLASSES.

EH?

WHOA.

COOL, HUH?

RRR...

NOW, PHIL,
TOMORROW AT SUNRISE,

THE LEGEND OF GATOR FACE
BEGINS.

RARR... RRRR...

I'M GATOR FACE!

RAR... RRR...

I HAVE TO PEE.

( ducks quack )
( grunts )

I HOPE THIS IS GONNA WORK.

OW.

( Petey barks )
( whines )

OH, MAN.

YES! YES!

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

OH!

HE TOTALLY FREAKED OUT AND
ALMOST TRIPPED OVER HIS CHAIR.

MAN, I HAVE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT.

THAT WAS OUR BEST YET.

ALL RIGHT.

OH, WE HAVE GOT TO GET
SOMEBODY ELSE.

THAT WAS SO COOL.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

I THINK WE'RE BEING WATCHED.

WHAT?

I-- I THINK I JUST SAW
SOMETHING MOVE IN THE BUSHES

OVER THERE.

IT'S PROBABLY JUST THE WIND.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

( breathes heavily )
HEY, EVERYBODY, COME ON.

HA HA!

I GOT HIM!

I GOT HIM.

( crowd murmurs )
GATOR FACE.

50 YEARS OF WAITIN'
AND WATCHIN' FINALLY PAID OFF.

NO, NO, NO, Y'ALL AIN'T GONNA
CALL
ME
CRAZY NO MORE,

'CAUSE THIS MORNIN' I SAW HIM
JUST AS CLEAR AS DAY,

AND HE LOOKED JUST LIKE
MY DADDY DESCRIBED HIM.

HE EVEN LEFT THIS PRINT
OUTSIDE MY CABIN!

LOOK!

LOOKS LIKE A REGULAR GATOR
PRINT TO ME, BOB.

YOU KNOW GATORS DON'T GO
THAT HIGH ON HARD GROUND.

LOOK AT THE DEPTH
OF THIS PRINT.

NOW, THAT'S AT LEAST 150 POUNDS
ON TWO FEET.

YOU SURE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
SMOKIN' TOO MUCH BOG GRASS,

BOB?

NO, I AIN'T BEEN SMOKIN'
NO BOG GRASS.

AND I'M ONLY TELLIN' Y'ALL
ABOUT THIS 'CAUSE I'M CONCERNED

FOR HIS SAFETY.

IT'S OBVIOUS HE'S MOVIN' AROUND
'CAUSE WE'RE CROWDIN' HIM OUT.

THERE'S BEEN TOO MANY POACHERS
IN THE SWAMPS LATELY.

NOW, SOMETHING'S
GOT TO BE DONE.

WE GOT TO PROTECT HIM.

WHAT SEEMS TO BE
THE PROBLEM, FOLKS?

SHERIFF, UH, BOB HERE
SEEN GATOR FACE EARLIER

THIS MORNING.

OH, HE HAS, HAS HE?

WELL, WELL, WELL.

( clears throat )
WELL, LOOK AT THAT.

UH, TELL ME, BOB, DID HE, UH--
DID HE COME AFTER YOU, BOB?

( crowd laughs )
NO.

HE RAN RIGHT BY ME.

MAYBE HE'LL BE YOUR DATE
TO THE SUMMER BARBEQUE.

( laughs )
MALE OR FEMALE?

YEAH, BOB, DID YOU SEE
A TALLYWACKER ON THAT SUCKER?

( laughs )
I DIDN'T LOOK.

WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE,
SHERIFF?

UH, WELL, MA'AM, UH...

BOB WAS JUST TELLIN' US HERE
THAT HE'D SEEN GATOR FACE.

DON'T YOU ENCOURAGE HIM,
SHERIFF.

HE'S AS CRAZY AS HIS
FATHER WAS.

NOW, YOU BREAK UP THIS
COMMOTION, OR YOU GIVE HIM

A TICKET FOR DISTURBIN'
THE PEACE.

YES, MA'AM.

OKAY, BOB, SHOW'S OVER.

NOW, Y'ALL JUST GO ON HOME.

YEAH, NEXT TIME,
GET A GOOD LOOK AT HIS PETER,

BOB.

( laughs )
YOU WATCH YOURSELF,

THERE, BOB.

MAN, CHECK OUT THE LOOK
ON HIS FACE.

HE'S BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY
HIS WHOLE LIFE.

I DON'T KNOW, I MEAN--
ALL THE TOWNSPEOPLE STILL

THINK HE'S CRAZY.

WELL, LIGHTEN UP.

HE DOESN'T CARE.

LOOK, GATOR FACE IS SWIMMING
AROUND IN ALL THEIR DIM-WITTED

BRAINS RIGHT NOW.

THEY'LL COME AROUND.

THE LEGEND IS ALIVE AGAIN.

YOU GONNA EAT THEM
MARSHMALLOWS, OR ARE YOU

GONNA WORRY 'EM TO DEATH?

I'M WAITIN' TILL IT GETS
TO THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE.

LUKESWARM'S HOW I LIKE IT.

LUKESWARM?

( chuckles )
SKEETER, HOW DOES A HEAD

AS SMALL AS YOURS HOLD
THAT MUCH STUPID, ANYWAY?

BEATS ME.

( laughs )
HAND ME THAT BOTTLE,

WILL YOU?

PASS IT HERE
WHEN YOU'RE DONE.

Phil: RAR... RRR...

YOU HEAR SOMETHIN'?

( Phil roars )
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

RAAHH!

OH!

OOH!

RARR!

RAAHH!

OW!

RAAHH!

( all scream )
( men chattering )

WELL, IT MUST'VE BEEN
ABOUT NINE FEET TALL.

HE JUMPED RIGHT OVER THE FIRE.

HE TRIED TO KILL US.

TRACKS DISAPPEAR RIGHT DOWN
INTO THE SWAMP.

THIS THING LOOK ANYTHING LIKE
WHAT BOB WAS TALKIN' ABOUT

YESTERDAY?

SURE DO.

THE OLD JUNK MAN WAS RIGHT.

YOU BOYS BEEN DRINKIN'
KINDA HEAVY LAST NIGHT?

WELL, HELL, YEAH.

( men chuckle )
THAT DON'T MEAN NOTHIN'.

I SAW WHAT I SAW.

PROOF'S ALL OVER THE GROUND
THERE!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

CALM DOWN.

( quietly ) WHAT IN THE WORLD
IS GOIN' ON HERE?

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU BOYS
WOULD KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS,

WOULD YOU?

( crickets chirp )
OH, NO.

OH, YES.

THAT'S MINE.

OH, YES.

OH, YES.

YES!

OH, YES.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ANY SUCH THING AS A GATOR FACE.

NOW, I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT
YOU DOWN IN THE SWAMP

WITH THOSE OLD FOOLS.

OH, NOW, I'LL BE JUST FINE.

HEY, DAD, WHERE YOU GOIN'?

WELL, THE BOYS AND I ARE OFF
TO COMB THE SWAMP.

OH, WELL, UH...

GOOD HUNTING, SHERIFF.

YEAH, GOOD LUCK, DAD.

YEAH, WELL, THANKS, BOYS.

I'LL SEE Y'ALL LATER.

CHIP, UH, WHERE YOU GOIN'
WITH THE HOCKEY STICK?

TO JOIN THE POSSE.

UH, NO, I DON'T THINK SO,
GRETZKY.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I GOT A MORE IMPORTANT JOB
FOR YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU STAY HERE
AND GUARD THE FAMILY?

( laughs )
( coughs )

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

MMM.

NOW, YOU BE CAREFUL, DARLIN'.

DON.

( clears throat )
ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN...

SKEETER, WHAT ARE
THE MARSHMALLOWS FOR?

BAIT.

THE SMELL OF MARSHMALLOWS
IS WHAT DRAWED HIM TO US

LAST NIGHT.

SKEETER, YOU GOT TWO
LOOSE SCREWS AND THE REST

OF 'EM ON THE GROUND.

( laughs )
HEY, WHEN YOU SEE THE SIZE

OF THIS THING,
YOU'LL STOP LAUGHING.

HE JUMPED RIGHT OVER ME!

OH, HE WAS PROBABLY
A REGULAR GATOR CRAWLIN'

OVER YOU WHEN YOU WERE DRUNK
ON YOUR BACK.

WHATEVER IT WAS,
IT'S PROBABLY STILL OUT THERE.

NOW, TONIGHT, YOU'RE GONNA
BE DEPUTIES, WHICH MEANS

YOU GOT THE LAW BEHIND YOUR
OWN BEST INSTINCTS.

IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN SHOOT
AT WHATEVER MOVES.

NOW, LET'S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE
AND LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER.

LET'S GET ON WITH THIS
SO WE CAN GET HOME

AT A DECENT HOUR.

MY WIFE'S GONNA HAVE A COW
IF I'M OUT PAST 12:00 TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO.

HEY, YOUR DAD SEEMED
KINDA SUSPICIOUS, EH?

NAH, IT'S JUST THE WAY
HE IS.

IT COMES WITH THE JOB.

HI, MOM.

YEAH, HI, HOW ARE YA?

I'M FINE.

NO, I'M AT DANNY'S HOUSE.

SO, MOM, CAN I STAY HERE
TONIGHT?

ALL RIGHT, HANG ON A SEC.

MRS. WOODMAN!

MRS. WOODMAN!

WHAT IS IT, DEAR?

IT'S MY MOM.

CAN I STAY HERE?

OH-- ALICE?

HI.

OF COURSE IT IS.

OH, IT'S FINE.

NO, THEY'RE PLAYING A GAME.

WHY? WHAT'S THE MATTER?

( gasps )
I'LL CALL YOU RIGHT BACK.

SHUT OFF THE GAME!

VERNON IS ON THE NEWS!

WHAT?

TURN.

WE HAVE AN INTERESTING STORY
TONIGHT FROM THE LITTLE TOWN

OF VERNON.

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL
SIGHTINGS OF SOME SORT

OF ALLIGATOR THAT WALKS
UPRIGHT LIKE A MAN.

THE LEGEND OF WHAT TOWNSPEOPLE
CALL "GATOR FACE" HAS BEEN

AROUND FOR OVER FIVE DECADES,
SINCE THE FIRST REPORTED

SIGHTING OF THE CREATURE
BACK IN 1942.

MANY THEN BELIEVED THERE
ACTUALLY WAS A GATOR FACE,

ALTHOUGH HE WAS NEVER SEEN
AGAIN UNTIL THIS WEEK.

WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED
ON ANY FURTHER SIGHTINGS,

SHOULD THEY OCCUR.

Man:
IN NATIONAL NEWS...

WE MADE THE NEWS.

THIS COULD KEEP US OCCUPIED
ALL SUMMER.

THINK ABOUT IT--
CAREFULLY STAGED APPEARANCES

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

WHEN PEOPLE GET TIRED
OF LOOKING, GATOR FACE

WILL MAGICALLY REAPPEAR AGAIN.

LET'S NOT GET TOO CRAZY,
NOW.

LET'S NOT GET TOO CRAZY,
NOW.

( dog barks )
( barks )

WHO'S OUT THERE?

RARR!

AAHH!

( thuds )
HA HA HA HA!

OUT COLD.

BEAUTIFUL.

( dog barks )
SHUT UP.

( pebble hits window )
ARE YOU CRAZY?

SOMEONE'S GONNA SEE YOU!

COME ON DOWN, OKAY?

SHH!

THE WHOLE TOWN CAN HEAR YOU.

I'M COMIN' DOWN.

( whistles )
GATOR SUIT.

I'M GONNA KILL HIM.

( mutters )
( whistles )

( mutters )
( whistles )

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN IT, MAN.

I FINALLY GOT POUCH-FACE.

SHE FREAKED OUT.

WHAT?

YOU IDIOT.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO WAIT.

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BUILD UP
TO THE MAYOR'S WIFE.

( laughs )
YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN IT.

THIS BEAM CAME AND HIT HER
IN THE HEAD, AND THEN SHE FELL

INTO A LAWN CHAIR, RIGHT?

IT WAS GREAT.

YOU KNOW, I SHOULD'VE WOKEN
YOU UP TO COME TO SEE IT.

HEH.

( door opens )
OH, IT'S CHIP.

COME ON.

( whispers ) WHAT?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

WHAT?

WE GOTTA GET CHIP.

COME ON, WE GOTTA GET HIM.

WE GOTTA GET HIM.

COME ON-- TAKE HIM INTO
THE SWAMP, MEET ME AT THAT

PLACE WE DISCUSSED, OKAY?

YEAH.

PSST.

HEY, CHIP.

CHIP, OVER HERE.

YOU SCARED THE CRAP
OUTTA ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'
OUT HERE, MAN?

I'M GOIN' DOWN TO THE SWAMP,
HAVE A LOOK AROUND

FOR GATOR FACE.

YOU WANNA COME?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW...

WHAT'S WRONG?

YOU'RE NOT WIMPIN' OUT ON ME,
ARE YA?

NO.

ALL RIGHT.

COME ON.

WHOA.

IT'S CREEPY DOWN HERE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER,
DANNY BOY?

YOU'RE NOT AFRAID
OF THE GATOR FACE, ARE YOU?

DON'T YOU WORRY,
LITTLE BROTHER.

JUST STICK CLOSE TO ME.

RARR!

AAH! AAHH!

GET OFF HIM!

DANNY! DANNY!

GET HIM OFF OF ME!

GET OFF HIM,
YOU DIRTY GATOR FACE!

GET HIM OFF OF ME!

GET OFF!

GET OFF!

RRR...

TAKE THAT, YOU STUPID
GATOR FACE!

( punching sounds )
RARR!

DANNY!

DANNY, GET OUTTA THERE!

( grunts )
WHAT HAPPENED?

WHERE IS HE?

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

I KICKED HIM IN THE BALLS
AND HE LET ME GO.

WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE, NOW!

IT HAS BALLS?

WHOA!

RUN, DANNY!

RUN!

( chuckles )
THERE HE GOES, PHIL.

YOU KNOW, THAT WAS GREAT.

THAT ALMOST MADE UP
FOR POUCH-FACE.

PHIL.

PHIL, COME ON, HE'S GONE.

PHIL.

OKAY, HERE I COME.

PHIL, I CAN SEE YOU
STANDING THERE, AND I KNOW

YOU CAN'T SEE A THING
IN THAT MASK OF YOURS.

NOW, LET'S GO.

OH, REAL FUNNY, PHIL.

( trills )
PHIL?

( deep trills )
OOF!

UGH...

OOF.

( hisses )
( trills )

( hisses )
( trills )

( trills )
Phil: DANNY, WHERE ARE YOU?

HE'S GONE.

WHERE?

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT?

OH, MY GOD, OH, MY GOD,
OH, MY GOD.

HEY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

OH, MY GOD, OH, MY GOD.

I JUST SAW GATOR FACE.

WHAT?

I'M DEAD SERIOUS.

HE-- HE WAS REAL.

HE WAS RIGHT THERE.

OH, NICE TRY.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

NO, PHIL, I'M NOT JOKING.

HE WAS REAL.

HE JUST SAVED MY LIFE.

LOOK AT MY HAND.

I'M SHAKING LIKE A LEAF.

I LOOKED INTO HIS EYES.

HE LOOKED LIKE...

LIKE HE NEEDED HELP.

OH, NICE TRY.

I MEAN, YOU ARE GOOD,
BUT YOU'RE NOT THAT GOOD.

GREAT PERFORMANCE, THOUGH.

YOU WERE WHITE AS A SHEET.

MAN!

YOU ALMOST HAD ME GOIN' THERE
FOR A MINUTE.

YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD.

YOU SHOULD, LIKE,
GO INTO ACTING OR SOMETHING.

THAT WAS AMAZING.

OH, MAN...

HA HA HA!

OH, MY GOD.

GATOR FACE IS REAL.

( Phil snores )
PHIL.

PHIL... SHUT UP.

PHIL!

SHUT UP, MAN.

( people chatter outside )
PHIL!

PHIL, GET UP.

GET UP, MAN.

CHECK THIS OUT.

WHAT?

LOOKIT.

WHOA.

( chuckles )
HOW TALL WOULD YOU SAY

THAT THE CREATURE WAS?

WELL, I'D SAY HE WAS ABOUT
A SEVEN-FOOTER, AT LEAST.

HE PUT UP ONE HECK OF A FIGHT.

THERE HE IS!

LET'S GET HIS STATEMENT
RIGHT AWAY!

THERE HE IS.

HE WAS MEAN-LOOKIN', TOO.

LUCKILY, I WAS PREPARED...

EXCUSE ME, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

UM, I'M DANNY WOODMAN.

I'M PHIL.

YOU ACTUALLY WRESTLED
WITH THE MONSTER?

WELL, YEAH, KIND OF.

I-- I--
DANNY RAN OFF GATOR FACE

LAST NIGHT.

SAVED HIS OWN BIG BROTHER.

YOU WERE OUT LAST NIGHT?

( stammers ) NO--
OH, IT WAS CHIP'S IDEA.

EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME.

MIGHT WANNA MOVE THOSE CAMERAS.

HEY, SHERIFF.

DANNY FOUGHT OFF GATOR FACE
LAST NIGHT.

WHAT WERE YOU DOIN' OUT
LAST NIGHT?

UH... NOTHING.

DON'T BE TOO HARD ON HIM,
SHERIFF.

HE'S A HERO!

I JUST CAME FROM THE MAYOR'S
HOUSE.

WE FOUND HIS WIFE PASSED OUT
ON THE FRONT PORCH LAST NIGHT.

SAYS THAT CREATURE DARN NEAR
KILLED HER.

OH, JOHN, DO YOU THINK
IT'S REALLY OUT THERE?

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT THE MAYOR'S

IN A FURRY FURY.

HE'S BEEN ON THE PHONE
ALL NIGHT, CALLING EVERYBODY

FROM THE SENATOR
TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO
ABOUT THIS SITUATION, SHERIFF?

UM, I DON'T KNOW
AS OF YET, MA'AM.

( reporters chatter )
WOW.

LOOK WHAT'S COMIN'!

WHOO!

YIPEE!

WELCOME TO VERNON, BOYS.

KEEP IT COMIN'.

KEEP IT COMIN'.

YEAH!

WHAT APPEARS TO BE
THE NATIONAL GUARD HAS JUST

PULLED IN TO VERNON
AFTER MORE REPORTS

OF NOT ONLY SIGHTINGS
BUT ACTUAL ATTACKS MADE BY

THE VICIOUS SEVEN-FOOT
ALLIGATOR CREATURE

THAT HAS BEEN...

WHAT IS GOIN' ON?

THIS IS LIKE SOME KINDA
GODZILLA MOVIE.

MAYOR CHADSTONE'S GONE
JUST ABOUT CRAZY.

( chatter )
MAN, WHAT'D YOU DO TO HER,

ANYWAYS?

I JUST HISSED AT HER,
AND SHE FAINTED.

THE MAYOR MUST HAVE
FREAKED OUT.

HUSTLE, HUSTLE.

LET'S COME ON, NOW.

WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY, MEN!

HUSTLE!

( men shouting )
WE'LL NEED SOME RECON

OVER THERE.

YEAH.

LOOK AT ALL THOSE GUNS.

I KNOW!

IT'S KINDA LIKE MY DREAM,
EH?

AN INVASION BY GREEN MEN
IN SPACE VEHICLES.

PRETTY COOL.

"COOL"?

YEAH.

COOL?

YEAH.

THERE'S AN ARMY OF HIGH-TECH
WEAPONRY OUT THERE LOOKING

FOR YOU, PHIL, AND YOU THINK
THAT'S COOL?

USE YOUR HEAD.

THIS IS NOT GOOD.

WE GOTTA GET RID
OF THAT SUIT RIGHT NOW.

OKAY, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT--
YOU GO HIDE THE SUIT,

AND I'LL GO EXPLORING.

PHIL.

PHIL, GET BACK HERE!

PHIL!

YOU MAYOR CHADSTONE?

WELL, I'M NOT SANTA CLAUS.

IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU GUYS
ARRIVED.

I'M COMMANDER REESE.

I'M GONNA NEED A FEW SIGNATURES
ON THESE DOCUMENTS BEFORE

MY MEN CAN START THE HUNT.

RIGHT, WELL,
STEP INTO MY OFFICE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WE DON'T NEED ALL THIS.

I WANT THIS THING FOUND.

THEN WE'LL FIND IT.

IT'S NOT OPEN
FOR DISCUSSION.

NOW, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR
LEAGUE, SHERIFF.

WE'RE USING PROFESSIONALS.

WHAT A MESS.

OKAY, JOHNSON,
YOU GET SQUAD NUMBER ONE.

I WANT YOU TO COVER
THE ROOFTOPS.

SIR.

LOUIS, YOU TAKE SQUAD TWO.

I WANT CHECKPOINTS PUT UP
ALL AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

YES, SIR.

HENDERSON, SET UP
THE COMMAND CENTER

IN THE TOWN HALL.

IF THIS CREATURE'S OUT THERE,
WE'LL FLUSH HIM OUT IN THE OPEN

AND HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT.

SIR!

EXCUSE ME, COMMANDER.

MY MEN AND I WERE HOPIN' TO
WORK TOGETHER WITH YOU ON THIS.

WE FIGURED WE COULD COVER
MORE GROUND AS A TEAM.

WELL, THANK YOU, SHERIFF.

WE'LL HANDLE IT FROM HERE.

THE BEST THING YOU AND YOUR MEN
CAN DO IS STAY OUT OF MY WAY.

NOW, HOLD ON A MINUTE, HERE.

THIS IS MY TOWN YOU ALL JUST
CAME RIDING INTO.

NOT ANYMORE, SHERIFF.

THIS TOWN IS NOW THE SITE
OF A STATE INVESTIGATION.

ANYTHING YOU DO TO INTERFERE
WITH THAT WILL BE A VIOLATION

OF STATE LAW.

WHY DON'T YOU BOYS JUST GO AND
SHOOT SOME SKEET OR SOMETHING?

WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

COME ON, BOYS.

YOU GONNA LET THEM
PRETTY-BOY SOLDIERS

TALK TO YOU LIKE THAT,
SHERIFF?

THIS IS YOUR TOWN.

THAT'S THE NATIONAL GUARD.

THIS HERE'S AN OFFICIAL
DOCUMENT.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

THOSE PRETTY-BOY SOLDIERS,
THEY DON'T KNOW DIDDLY ABOUT

CATCHING A GATOR FACE.

I'LL LAY YOU TEN TO ONE
THEY GET LOST IN THE SWAMP.

YEAH, I'LL BET THEY DO, TOO.

YOU GOT IT, LYDSTER.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

THIS MEANS THAT THE MAYOR'S
NOT GONNA PAY YOU BOYS.

I CAN'T LEGALLY LET YOU
CONTINUE AS A POSSE

UNLESS YOU'RE PAID DEPUTIES.

SHERIFF, WE'RE NOT GOING
TO LET NO CREAM PUFF SOLDIERS

COME IN HERE AND CATCH NO
GATOR FACE.

NOW, ARE YOU WITH US, OR NOT?

YEAH, COME ON, SHERIFF,
LET'S GET IT UP.

WE'RE READY, WILLING, AND ABLE.

YEAH, WE CAN DO IT, SHERIFF!

YOU KNOW THE MAYOR'S
OUT OF CONTROL, SHERIFF.

WE'RE DEPENDIN' ON YOU.

COME ON, SHERIFF.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO.

YAH-HAH!

ALL RIGHT!

DANNY WOODMAN?

YEAH?

I'M COMMANDER REESE.

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.

DANNY WOODMAN.

SO, YOU'RE THE LEGENDARY
GATOR FACE WRESTLER.

( sighs )
MAN, THAT MUST'VE BEEN

AN INCREDIBLY FRIGHTENING
ORDEAL.

NO?

YOU GONNA TELL ME THAT YOU
WEREN'T AFRAID FOR YOUR LIFE

WRESTLIN' A SEVEN-FOOT SWAMP
MONSTER?

( clears throat )
YEAH, I GUESS.

YEAH, I GUESS.

YOU KNOW, THAT-- THAT SURE IS
A LOT OF EXCITEMENT OUTSIDE.

YOU KNOW, I-- I BET VERNON
HAS NEVER BEEN AS EXCITING

AS IT IS TODAY.

I MEAN, TV CAMERAS
AND REPORTERS EVERYWHERE--

YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE COUNTRY'S
WATCHIN' THIS LITTLE TOWN,

WAITIN' FOR THE NEXT
APPEARANCE.

YOU KNOW, I-- I GREW UP
IN A SMALL TOWN MYSELF, DANNY.

SOMETIMES IT WAS SO BORING,
I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA EXPLODE

IF SOMETHING DIDN'T HAPPEN.

ME AND MY FRIENDS, WE USED TO
MAKE UP CRAZY STORIES,

JUST TO SHAKE THINGS UP
A LITTLE.

YOU EVER THINK LIKE THAT?

SOMETIMES.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, THE PROBLEM IS,
SOMETIMES BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,

A SMALL STORY CAN GET WAY
OUTTA CONTROL AND BECOME

A SERIOUS MATTER WITH VERY
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT
TO TELL ME, SON?

I-- I DON'T KNOW.

I'M GONNA LEVEL WITH YOU
HERE, DANNY.

I'M IN CHARGE OF THIS OPERATION
HERE.

IT'S MY JOB TO FIND ANSWERS
TO MYSTERIES LIKE THIS.

I GOT RADAR EQUIPMENT THAT'S
STATE OF THE ART.

IT CAN BULLSEYE A MOUSE
IN A FOOTBALL FIELD.

IF THAT CREATURE'S
IN THAT SWAMP,

I'M GONNA FIND IT,
AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU CAN

TELL ME TO MAKE MY JOB EASIER,
I SUGGEST YOU TELL ME

RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S ALL.

YOU'RE FREE TO GO.

THERE'S MY ANGEL.

NOTHING GOOD ON TV?

NO.

WHO WAS THAT BOY WHO WAS
JUST IN HERE?

NOBODY YOU NEED TO BE
CONCERNED WITH.

I THINK HE'S TROUBLE.

I WANT YOU TO STAY AWAY
FROM HIM, OKAY?

OKAY.

CAN I GO WALK AROUND A LITTLE?

( chuckles ) SURE.

I GUESS I CAN'T KEEP YOU
COOPED UP ALL DAY.

THANKS, DADDY.

YOU TAKE CARE, NOW.

I WILL!

CHECK THIS OUT.

PHIL, I GOTTA DESTROY
THAT SUIT TONIGHT, MAN.

WHY?

SOME KINDA GOVERNMENT AGENCY
JUST QUESTIONED ME.

MAN, I THINK THEY'RE ON TO US!

( whispers ) I'M SERIOUS.

( scoffs ) LIGHTEN UP.

THEY GOT NOTHING ON US.

I GOTTA MAKE ANOTHER RUN.

NO!

THERE'S A BIGGER ISSUE HERE,
PHIL.

HE'S REALLY OUT THERE.

( sighs )
NOT THIS AGAIN.

I MEAN...

YOU USED TO BE FUN
TO BE AROUND.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, MAN?

WHOA, I'M OUTTA HERE.

DANNY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

OH, NOTHIN', DAD.

UH, JUST HAD A LITTLE ARGUMENT,
THAT'S ALL.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M
TALKIN' ABOUT.

CHIP SAYS HE SAW YOU GET
HAULED OF BY COMMANDER REESE.

YOU WANNA TELL ME ABOUT THAT?

WELL, UM, COMMANDER REESE
WAS JUST, UH-- JUST--

JUST WANTED TO KNOW THE BEST
ROUTES AROUND TOWN, THAT'S ALL.

THE NATIONAL GUARD DOES NOT
HAUL 12-YEAR-OLD BOYS OFF

THE STREET TO ASK DIRECTIONS.

NOW WHAT AREN'T YOU TELLIN' ME?

NOTHIN', DAD, I SWEAR.

COME ON, SHERIFF,
WE'RE LOSIN' DAYLIGHT.

COME ON, SHERIFF, LET'S GO.

LET'S GET TRUCKIN'.

I WANT YOU HOME EARLY
TONIGHT.

YES, SIR.

( engine starts )
SO... YOU'RE THE ONE

WHO FOUGHT OFF GATOR FACE.

EXCUSE ME?

MY DAD SAYS I'M NOT SUPPOSED
TO TALK TO YOU.

HE SAYS YOU'RE TROUBLE.

WELL, WHAT'D YOU DO?

UH, I DON'T KNOW.

SURE YOU DON'T.

SO... THIS IS VERNON.

TOOK SOME WORK,
BUT I FINALLY GOT HERE.

WHERE'D YOU COME FROM?

BLUE FALLS.

I SORTA... CHARMED MY DAD
INTO BRINGING ME.

MY FRIENDS ARE GONNA HATE ME.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET A LOOK
AT GATOR FACE.

WHOA, DOES EVERYBODY BELIEVE
THAT THE CREATURE'S REAL?

SOME DO, SOME DON'T.

I'M NOT SURE YET, MYSELF.

IT'S EITHER REAL OR THE BEST
HOAX EVER PULLED.

EITHER WAY,
THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE.

WHY?

YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

NO-- WELL, YEAH,
JUST WHAT'S ON THE NEWS,

THOUGH.

( chuckles nervously ) YEAH.

( knocks )
HEY, BOB.

HEY, SHERIFF.

WE, UH-- WE NEED YOUR HELP.

YEAH, I FIGURED YOU WOULD.

( chuckles )
WELL, YOU KNOW THE--

YOU KNOW THE SWAMP
BETTER THAN ANYBODY.

WELL, IF YOU WANT MY HELP,
YOU HAVE TO DO IT MY WAY...

AND THAT MEANS NO GUNS.

HOW WE GONNA CATCH HIM
WITHOUT GUNS?

WILL YOU LOOK AT Y'ALL?

FOAMIN' AT THE MOUTH.

READY TO GO OUT THERE
AND KILL YOURSELF A GATOR FACE.

HE'S A MONSTER.

WELL, WHATEVER HE IS,
HE'S MANAGED TO STAY UNSEEN

BY THE HUMAN RACE FOR GOD KNOWS
HOW LONG.

AND Y'ALL JUST GONNA STUMBLE
OUT THERE IN THAT SWAMP

WITH A BUNCH OF SHOTGUNS
AND CATCH HIM.

( laughs )
HEY, WE'LL GET HIM,

ALL RIGHT.

YEAH.

YEAH?

YOU'RE ON HIS TURF.

THIS SWAMP HAS BEEN HERE
FOR OVER A THOUSAND YEARS.

LONG BEFORE WE CAME HERE.

AND IT'S GONNA BE HERE
FOR A THOUSAND YEARS MORE

LONG AFTER WE'RE GONE.

AND HE'LL STILL BE HERE,
'CAUSE HE KNOWS HOW TO SURVIVE.

HE KNOWS HOW TO HEAL HIMSELF.

ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE
FORGOTTEN, OR GOTTEN NUMB TO--

I MEAN, IF YOU CUT OFF
A LIZARD'S TAIL,

IT GROWS RIGHT BACK.

YOU BURN DOWN A FOREST,
SOMEHOW IT MANAGES

TO REGROW ITSELF.

NATURE'S BALANCE IS PRECISE
AND POWERFUL.

AND HE'S A PART OF THAT
BALANCE.

SO, IT'S JUST A LACK
OF UNDERSTANDING THAT WE

CALL
HIM
THE MONSTER.

ALL RIGHT, NOW, I DO HAVE
SOME IDEAS ABOUT HOW

TO BRING HIM IN.

AND I'LL HELP YOU CATCH HIM.

BUT ONLY
IF IT'S TO SAVE HIM.

THAT MEANS YOU HAVE
TO LEAVE YOUR GUNS HERE...

AND DO WHAT I SAY.

AW, THIS BABY OUGHTA HAVE
SOME STOPPIN' POWER.

LET'S SEE YOU TANGLE WITH ME
NOW, LIZARD.

POW!

HAH.

THAT CREATURE'S MINE.

( men chatter )
NOW, THIS IS YOUR SLIGHTLY

OVERRIPE OCEAN FLOUNDER.

IF HE'S GOT ANY GATOR BLOOD
IN HIM, HE'LL GO FOR THIS.

BOY, YOU TOSS ONE OF THESE
IN A POOL FULL OF GATORS

AND THEY GO NUTS!

( soldier laughs )
YOU BOYS HAVIN' A FISH PARTY?

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR GUNS?

YOU LOSE 'EM ALREADY?

WE DON'T NEED NO GUNS.

WE'LL CAPTURE THAT CREATURE
BEFORE YOU EVEN FIND YOUR WAY

OUTTA THIS SWAMP.

ANY OF Y'ALL CARE TO...

( cocks gun )
MAKE A LITTLE WAGER ON THAT?

YEAH, I'LL BET YOU $50
YOU'LL GET SOME GATOR DUNG

ON THOSE SHINY NEW BOOTS
BEFORE I SAY "JEHOSHAPHAT."

( men laugh )
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, BOB.

YOU BETTER BE RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON, GUYS,
WE GOT 20 MORE OF THESE.

SO, BEFORE THIS TOWN BECAME
THE BIG HOTSPOT,

WHAT'D YOU GUYS DO AROUND HERE
FOR FUN, ANYWAY?

MOSTLY JUST TRIED TO CAUSE
A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR THOSE

PEOPLE WHO LIKE IT HERE.

WHAT'D YOU DO IN BLUE FALLS?

PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING.

ONCE, I PUT TOOTHPASTE
ON THE BOYS' TOILET SEATS.

I PULLED THAT ONE OFF
PRETTY EASY.

UH... WHAT?

IF YOU WRESTLED GATOR FACE,
HOW COME YOU DON'T HAVE

ANY SCRATCHES OR BRUISES
OR ANYTHING?

WELL, HE WAS WET, AND I--
YOU'RE LYING.

YOU NEVER SAW HIM.

NO, NO, I'M NOT LYING.

I REALLY SAW HIM.

LOOK, HE'S OUT THERE,
AND I'M AFRAID THEY'RE

GONNA KILL HIM.

HE'S NOT A MONSTER
LIKE EVERYONE THINKS.

HE'S INCREDIBLE.

SOME KIND OF...

WONDER OF NATURE.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, DO YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'RE THE KEY TO ALL OF THIS--
WHETHER YOU'RE TELLING

THE TRUTH OR YOU'RE
JUST PLAIN LYING.

THIS WHOLE THING HAD
TO DO WITH YOU.

I'M GONNA BE WATCHING YOU.

WELL, ANYWAY,
I GOTTA HEAD BACK.

THERE'S A CURFEW TONIGHT.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW,
DANNY WOODMAN.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW,
DANNY WOODMAN.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

SECTOR 14, GO HOT.

14, GO HOT.

( beeps )
PERFECT.

19-- SECTOR 19, GO HOT.

LET'S LIGHT IT UP.

( beeps )
( laughs )

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

MY, GOD, THE WHOLE TOWN
IS WIRED.

MOM?

MM-HMM?

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'LL DO
IF THEY CATCH HIM?

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING--
IF THEY DO FIND A GATOR FACE,

THEY'LL KILL HIM FOR SURE.

( people chatter )
HOT DELI SAUSAGES MADE FROM

THE FINEST INGREDIENTS.

THE BEST IN TOWN.

THERE YOU GO.

HELP YOURSELF TO SOME MUSTARD
AND RELISH THERE.

Chip: HE'S TIRING,
AND I'M STARING UP AT HIM,

AND THE MOMENT IS CAUGHT.

SO THEN I STAGGERED HIM
WITH A LEFT HOOK RIGHT INTO

HIS LIZARD LIPS.

THAT'S THE ONE THAT SENT HIM
RUNNIN'.

HE WAS NEARLY SEVEN FEET TALL,
TOO.

MUST'VE BEEN ABOUT 300,
400 POUNDS ON HIM.

OH, HE WAS CLOSE ENOUGH
TO TOUCH!

HE GRABBED THAT DANG
MARSHMALLOW STICK RIGHT OUTTA

MY HAND AND LEAPT OVER
THE CAMPFIRE LIKE A BIRD.

WELL, I'D-- I-- I-- I'D SAY
HE WAS AT LEAST, OH,

EIGHT FEET TALL.

THE CREATURE WAS NINE FEET
TALL IF HE WAS AN INCH.

I DO BELIEVE HE HAD WINGS.

THERE WAS NOTHING--
THERE WAS NOTHING REMOTELY

HUMAN ABOUT THIS CREATURE.

HE WAS A SAVAGE BEAST
WITH SHARP FANGS AND BREATH

LIKE A SPOILED FISH.

IT WANTED TO KILL ME,
BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD,

MY DOG SCARED IT RIGHT OFF,
AND MY LIFE WAS SPARED.

IT WOULD'VE KILLED ME.

I COULD TELL.

DON'T TELL MY WIFE
I SAID THIS, BUT THAT DAMN

CREATURE'S THE BEST THING THAT
EVER HAPPENED TO THIS TOWN.

WE GONNA PULL IN A NICE CHUNK
OF CHANGE FROM THE SUMMER

BARBEQUE THIS YEAR.

I STILL DON'T THINK IT'S A
GOOD IDEA TO HAVE THE BARBEQUE

UNTIL WE KNOW FOR SURE
WHAT'S OUT IN THAT SWAMP.

DO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU
THAT THE BARBEQUE PROCEEDS

PAY FOR BOTH OF OUR SALARIES?

BESIDES, THIS HERE BARBEQUE'S
THE ONE THING THESE PEOPLE

LOOK FORWARD TO ALL YEAR LONG.

HELL, IT'S THE ONLY THING
SOME OF THEM WAKE UP FOR.

NO, I CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
TAKING THAT AWAY FROM THEM NOW.

NOT IN AN ELECTION YEAR.

SO, YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
TO KEEP THIS TOWN SAFE,

BUT THAT BARBEQUE GOES ON
AS SCHEDULED.

HEY, YOU SEE WHAT'S GOING ON
OUT HERE?

YEAH, I SEE IT.

WHERE YOU GOIN'?

GOIN' DOWN TO THE SWAMP.

THE SWAMP?

WHAT FOR?

BECAUSE I'M GONNA GO LOOK
FOR GATOR FACE.

IF THEY HAVEN'T FOUND HIM
WITH THEIR RADARS YET,

THEN I THINK I KNOW
WHERE HE IS.

HE'S DOWN IN THE THICKS.

( sighs ) ARE YOU CRAZY?

I MEAN, ARE YOU STILL JOKING
WITH THIS, OR WHAT?

I TOLD YOU, PHIL,
IT'S NOT A JOKE.

HE'S DOWN THERE,
JUST LIKE BOB SAID.

NOW HE'S ON THE RUN.

AND THEY'RE GONNA FIND HIM,
AND THEY ARE GONNA KILL HIM,

AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

I BROUGHT THIS WHOLE MESS HERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA
DO ABOUT IT.

ALL I KNOW IS I HAVE TO
FIND HIM AND TRY AND HELP HIM.

LOOK, YOU CAN BELIEVE ME
IF YOU WANT TO.

I DON'T CARE.

MAYBE YOU DID SEE SOMETHING
DOWN THERE, BUT IT WAS NOT

GATOR FACE.

I'M GOIN' NOW, PHIL.

NO!

LOOK, I-- I CAME DOWN HERE
'CAUSE I WANTED TO GET

THE SUIT, OKAY?

NOT A CHANCE.

COME ON!

I WANNA MAKE ONE MORE RUN.

THE WHOLE WORLD IS WAITING
FOR MY NEXT APPEARANCE.

IT'S A COMMAND PERFORMANCE.

LET'S TRY AND GET THIS
THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD.

IT'S NOT JUST A GROUP OF
VERNONITES OUT THERE ANYMORE.

THAT'S THE NATIONAL GUARD.

Angel: THEY CAN BE
OUTSMARTED.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

EAVESDROPPING.

AND, UH, HOW MUCH
DID YOU HEAR?

RELAX.

I'M NOT GONNA TURN YOU IN.

BESIDES, I KNEW YOU WERE
INVOLVED SINCE THE MINUTE

I MET YOU.

HEY, WHO'S SHE?

OH, AND YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO WEARS THE SUIT, RIGHT?

DON'T ANSWER THAT.

SHE MIGHT BE BUGGED.

HER DAD'S A FED.

WHAT?

DON'T BE A MORON, DANNY.

I'M NOT WORKING FOR MY DAD.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

HMM.

A PIECE OF THE ACTION.

A LITTLE EXCITEMENT.

OH, AND I WANNA BE THERE WHEN
GATOR FACE MAKES HIS NEXT

APPEARANCE.

( sighs )
GATOR FACE IS REAL.

DON'T YOU GET IT?

DANNY, DON'T GET
CARRIED AWAY.

YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE POINT
HERE.

I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY,
AND MAYBE I WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT

IF I WERE YOU, EITHER,
BUT HE'S REAL

AND HE'S OUT THERE.

AND IF I DON'T DO SOMETHING
SOON, THEN THIS STUPID HOAX

WE PULLED IS GONNA END UP
KILLING HIM.

I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN.

IF YOU TWO WOULD'VE SEEN HIM,
YOU'D FEEL THE SAME WAY.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

FINE.

COME ON, BOY WHO WEARS
THE SUIT.

GO AHEAD.

( sighs )
I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE

SOMEWHERE, AND I JUST WISH
I COULD TELL YOU I'M SORRY

FOR THIS WHOLE MESS.

I NEVER EXPECTED THAT YOU
WERE REAL.

I MEAN, THOSE STORIES--
THEY SOUNDED LIKE GRANDPA

TALES.

PROBABLY NEVER GONNA GET ANY
PEACE AND QUIET NOW.

THEY WON'T LEAVE YOU ALONE.

THEY'RE GONNA KEEP LOOKING
TILL THEY FIND YOU,

SO I JUST HOPE YOU KNOW ENOUGH
TO STAY HIDDEN.

Phil: DANNY!

WE CAME TO HELP.

I DON'T KNOW IF I
BELIEVE IT, BUT IT'S PRETTY

OBVIOUS THAT YOU DO.

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

LET'S GO SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.

WELL, COME ON.

LET'S GO.

ALL RIGHT.

COME ON, HOW MUCH FURTHER
DO YOU WANT TO GO?

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF DRY LAND.

I DON'T KNOW.

WE'RE GETTING CLOSE, THOUGH.

HE'S GOTTA BE AROUND HERE
SOMEWHERE.

AH, IT'S THICK IN HERE.

WE'VE NEVER BEEN IN THIS FAR
BEFORE.

( trilling sound )
( snapping, swishing )

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT,
GUYS?

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT IT CAME FROM OVER THERE.

GUYS, LOOK AT THE TIME.

WHERE YOU GOIN'?

I MEAN, WE... GOTTA BE...

COME ON, GUYS.

IT'S-- IT'S ONE OF
THE NET TRAPS.

SOMETHING'S IN THERE.

( trills )
IT'S HIM.

OH, MY GOD, WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S MOVING.

( trills )
HE
IS
REAL.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?

JUST-- JUST STAND BACK.

GONNA LET HIM OUT.

WHAT?

NO-- ARE YOU CRAZY?

JUST STAND BACK, PHIL.

BUT--
BE CAREFUL.

NOT A GOOD IDEA.

IT'S MOVING AGAIN.

( trills )
( gulps )

WHAT IS IT, A LIZARD?

I DON'T THINK SO.

NO.

LOOK AT HIS EYES.

HE LOOKS ALMOST HUMAN.

NO, HE'S SOMETHING...

SOMETHING IN-BETWEEN.

DON'T-- DON'T GET TOO CLOSE.

HE MIGHT BE DANGEROUS.

IT'S OKAY.

HE TRUSTS ME.

NOBODY'S GONNA HURT YOU.

WE'RE YOUR FRIENDS.

( trills )
IT'S OKAY.

FRIENDS.

( trills inquisitively )
( gunshot )

WHAT WAS THAT?

SHOTGUN.

PROBABLY POACHERS.

OH, WHERE DID HE GO?

THEY'RE GONNA KILL HIM.

WHAT?

JUST THINK WHAT WOULD'VE
HAPPENED IF WE HADN'T HAVE

FOUND HIM.

IF HE GOT CAUGHT ONCE,
HE CAN GET CAUGHT AGAIN.

THEY DON'T WANNA KILL HIM.

THEY WANNA CAPTURE HIM ALIVE
AND STUDY HIM.

OH, COME ON.

THEN WHAT ARE ALL THOSE GUNS
FOR?

IF THEY FIND HIM,
HE'S DEAD FOR SURE.

I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN TO HIM.

WELL, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED
TO DO?

COME ON, TOO MUCH HAS HAPPENED.

TOO MANY PEOPLE THINK
THEY'VE SEEN HIM.

WHAT-- WHAT IS IT?

DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA?

YEAH, I GOT AN IDEA.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TELL
PEOPLE GATOR FACE IS A JOKE,

AND THEY'LL ALL HEAD HOME.

WELL, HOW DO WE DO THAT?

BY TELLING THEM THIS WHOLE
THING WAS A HOAX...

WITHOUT LETTING THEM KNOW
WHO PULLED IT.

AND HOW DO YOU PLAN
ON PULLING THIS OFF?

ANOTHER RUN...

STRAIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE
OF THE SUMMER BARBEQUE.

WHAT?!

THEY WILL EAT ME ALIVE.

NOT YOU, ME.

I'M THE ONE WHO STARTED
THIS WHOLE MESS,

SO I'M THE ONE
WHO HAS TO FIX IT.

TOMORROW'S SUMMER BARBEQUE
IS GONNA BE ONE THAT GOES DOWN

IN VERNON HISTORY.

( music plays,
people chatter )

( music plays,
people chatter )

YEE-HAW!

HOW'S IT LOOKIN', HENDERSON?

ALL CLEAR.

NOT A THING IS STIRRING.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
IN THERE.

I WANT HIM CAUGHT QUICKLY
AND QUIETLY, UNDERSTAND?

ROGER THAT.

HI, HONEY.

HI, SWEETIE.

HAVE YOU SEEN DANNY
ANYWHERE?

I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO HIM
SINCE YESTERDAY.

OH, I'M SURE HE'S JUST OUT
HAVING SOME FUN WITH HIS FRIEND

PHILIP.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M
AFRAID OF.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS, LET'S CIRCLE
AROUND ONE MORE TIME.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.

COME IN, RED TWO.

RED TWO.

COME IN, RED TWO.

ARE YOU OUT THERE?

OVER.

DO YOU READ ME?

LOUD AND CLEAR.

ARE YOU IN POSITION?

OH, YEAH.

WHAT A TURNOUT!

LOOK AT ALL THOSE REDNECKS.

CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT.

RED THREE.
