I can't believe it.

I've been looking all over

for this place.

I don't know why, really.

I spent a couple days there

when I was a kid,

And I just remember

having a great time.

Me, too.

My brother and I drowned

a cat there once.

Is that right?

Listen, how's the food across the street?

Best I ever ate.

Thank you.

That pie almost looks

homemade, doesn't it?

Mm-hmm.

It does look homemade.

More coffee?

No, thanks.

I get off in half an hour.

Thank god!

First thing I'm going to do

is take off all my clothes,

take a nice, long, hot shower.

That sounds good.

You staying over at the motel?

Actually, yes. I am.

How's the hot water over there?

I don't know.

I haven't tried it yet.

Why?

Just curious.

Just curious, huh?

If she's just curious,

why the hell doesn't she call the motel

and ask them how

the hot water is?

What does she think,

I was just gonna invite her over here

so she could take a shower?

Introducing our exciting

audiotape series,

heavenly faith.

Jesus is strong,

but he needs your help.

Send a check now payable

to Help-The-Lord Industries,

and you'll receive...

Hello.

I'm Varla, and I'm lonely.

Who are you?

Norman.

What a sexy name.

It's making me very hot

and horny just saying it.

Norman.

Wait, there's somebody at the door.

their eyes red with lust.

They rip my gown off,

exposing my naked body

to their evil gaze.

Just as they are about to ravish me,

I stick my fingers into their eyes

and rip out both their eyeballs.

Excuse me... Varla?

I'm sorry, but, uh...

This isn't too stimulating.

Oh, there's that doorbell again.

Oh, it's you...

Norman.

You stand there staring at me.

I'm totally naked

Except for 2 bleeding

human eyeballs in my hands.

You say, "Varla,

I have never before

seen a more beautiful,

hot, sexy woman."

Say it, Norman.

Say it now.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

It's not where you're going

but how you get there that counts.

Al Fountain.

Wait a second.

It's not how you get there

but where you're going that counts.

Is that right?

Jesus Christ.

What is it?

Well, wherever you're going,

I hope to Christ you get there!

Ha ha ha ha!

Oh!

It wouldn't be a very smart thing

for him to do.

Don't think he's gonna

go in, do you?

That's why I wanna talk

to him a little bit.

That wouldn't be a real good idea.

Hello, there.

You're not contemplating a swim, are you?

No, no. no, I'm not.

The wife thought you were going in.

There's a chemical plant

around that cove

Been dumping formaldehyde

in the lake for 15 years.

You step in,

and it'll burn your feet right off.

Jesus!

Thanks for telling me.

No problem.

Didn't wanna have to go in after you.
