Now, look, Val,

you gotta get to Bixby,

and you gotta get

the police up here.

And you gotta step on it.

Consider it stepped on.

Man, we decided

to leave this place

just one damn day

too late, you know?

Well, there's sure as hell

nothing to stop us now.

Everybody we know

between here and Bixby

is already dead.

Look out!

ls there some higher

force at work here?

l mean, are we asking

too much of life?

Where the hell

are these guys?

What are they doing?

Blasting?

Hey!

Where are you guys?

lt's not like there's

another road, a**hole!

Val ! Val !

Jesus!

l don't believe this!

You're hung up.

l am not!

You're hung up,

l tell you !

You're gonna burn

the clutch !

You know, you could

break an axle like that.

Could you shut up?

Hey, l don't need

to spend the night

out here.

Crybaby.

-Could it have been coyotes?

-No way.

No.

Coyotes didn't kill Fred.

Hey, it's Val and Earl.

They shouldn't

be here already.

Thought you two

were in Bixby by now.

You are never

gonna believe this.

Mom !

Oh, my God !

Oh, Burt, be careful.

Unreal.

Where'd you get it?

l didn't know

we had it.

lt's disgusting.

Some kind of snake?

Looks more like

an eel to me.

Eels live in the water,

don't they?

Big mother slug, maybe.

Don't touch !

Relax. lt's dead.

Hey, it must've grabbed us!

That's why the truck

stalled out.

Next time l tell you

l'm not hung up. . .

Hey, wait.

This stalled out your truck?

lt'd have to be one

strong son of a b*tch.

Stinks, too.

l'll give you boys

$5 for this.

$20.

Okay, $10!

$15.

Okay, $15.

Damn right, $15.

l don't believe you guys.

Could be a snake!

Some kind of mutation.

Yeah.

Whatever it is,

just one of these

couldn't eat up Fred

and his whole flock of sheep.

So you think

there are more

of them out there?

l'm dead. Let's put this

stuff up in the morning.

No.

We have to go to Bixby

in the morning.

The cinder blocks are in.

Oh, the cinder blocks.

Oh, my God !

Just keep looking

at that beautiful sky.

That's the sky that's gonna

be over our roof every night

when we're done.

What if we don't

finish the roof?

Then we can

look at the sky

all the time. Huh?

Oh, that damn thing.

Maybe it's time

we buy a new

generator, huh?

lt's gone!

What do you mean,

it's gone?

You sure this is

where it was?

lt was right here!

There's the cord.

Hold this.

Yeah, maybe the

ground caved in.

There's a lot of mines

and stuff around here.

Well, don't then.

You don't wanna fall in.

Let's go.

God, what is that stink?

You hear that?

Come on. Come on,

let's just go.

Let's go back to

town or something.

Please, Jim !

Maybe it's a geological

thing or something like
