You know what's the biggest

problem in Beverly Hills?

Snails.

Yeah. Snails and slugs.

They can wipe out a lawn

in just a few weeks.

Folks feel sorry for them.

They're not like

your usual pest, you know?

Folks just hate to see

all them snails

laying on their lawns, dead.

Snails and slugs and bugs.

Any of you guys in

a happier profession?

I think we've got a

really effective anesthetic.

We'll check you before

we really do anything.

You know, I heard--

You're doing just great,

just relax.

It's really been

different than Chris.

You've done your

share, we'll do ours now.

She's fully dilated, the

head's on the perineum.

Something's wrong, I

know something's wrong.

Doctor:
It's nothing

really wrong, honey.

It's just a very,

very big baby.

It's gonna be fine,

but I need your help.

I know something's wrong.

Doctor:
How big

was your last baby?

How big was your

last baby did you say?

Seven pounds, four ounces.

I told you that this baby

was different than Chris.

This baby is just gigantic.

It's probably 10, 10 and a

half, maybe even 11 pounds.

It's got a gigantic head.

But she's got a big pelvis

and she's got

plenty of relaxation.

- L'm trying to cooperate!

- Okay.

All right, all right.

Relax, relax.

This is just immense.

Now, we're just putting forceps

on the baby's head.

Just breathe deep.

Don't push, just pant.

Now we're just

easing the baby out.

I know, but it's--

Doctor:
All right.

Now we just cut you.

You didn't feel that, did you?

- No.

- Okay, fine.

Now, the baby'll be out

in just about 30 seconds.

Davis, Davis, wait!

What does my baby look like?

What's wrong with my baby?

Doctor!

Mr. Davis, out of here!

Where's the baby?

Where's the baby?

The umbilical cord's been

severed, but not surgically.

It looks like the thing's

been chewed off.

Where's the baby?

Get off of me!

Get your hands off!

- Lenore!

- Come on, let's go!

Lenore!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let go of me!

Everything's going

to be all right.

My wife isn't!

Tell me my baby's not dead.

Don't touch me.

Don't you touch me.

They've stolen my baby.

I don't want my baby to be dead.

Tell me my baby

isn't dead, please.

I assure you, Mrs. Davis,

your baby is very much alive.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

We located a broken

skylight on the third floor.

Blood and excess tissue

on the roof.

Lieutenant, what's it look like to you?

Something small.

Doctor?

Doctor:
She's coming

out of sedation now.

Lenore?

Lenore, can you

hear me, darling?

Somebody might have

abducted our baby,

and I'm holding

this hospital responsible.

That hole in the

skylight isn't large enough

for a full-sized human being.
