in the first place?

Well, when I was a little girl growing

up back in Ohio, we had a barn.

Had some bats in it.

Scared me. Used to give me

horrific nightmares.

One night, my dad finally

dragged me out back...

...and caught one of the bats.

He explained the good things bats do,

like pollinating rain forests...

...and eating insects

and what have you.

And then he made me hold it.

And I gotta tell you...

...it was the gentlest thing

I'd ever seen.

I've been bat-crazy ever since.

Killing one goes against

everything I believe.

You catch one tonight,

I'll pet its belly for you.

I might even take it

to dinner and a movie.

There's too many.

- What do you mean?

- Let's go!

Come on! Come on!

Cover the vents!

Any possible entrance!

Hurry up!

Well, that's all being

taken care of, sir, as we speak.

We're gonna need

some help down here!

Son of a b*tch!

They're trying to get in!

What's going on?

These things, they're not like

any bats I've ever seen!

They're trying to get into the truck!

Where'd I put my keys?

We're on our way.

I can't find my keys!

They're trying to get

into the engine!

Whatever you do...

...try and stay calm. I ain't calm,

and I'm telling her to stay calm.

Son of a b*tch!

Come on!

Sh*t!

Sheila, they're getting in!

Get it off!

Sh*t!

Sheila? Do you hear me? Come in!

Sheila, you hear me? Come in!

Clear it!

Are you okay?

Holy sh*t!

- Use your gun! Shoot at them!

- I'll hit the sheriff and Sheila.

Shoot over them. Scare them off.

Then again, we could just

hightail it out of here now.

Hold still.

Let me take a look at you.

Hold on a sec.

You okay? Are you all right?

I ain't never seen anything like that.

They left something behind.

God, sheriff, don't move.

Don't move!

All right, be careful.

On three. One...

...two, three!

That's why I leave that stuff to her.

What did I tell you?

Ugly!

Now this might sting a little.

I been doing some thinking.

And what I figured out is this:

This is f***ed up!

I'm thinking of heading

to Antarctica now!

I checked into this. There's no bats

there because they hate the cold.

Hey, Wes?

Get ahold of the mayor.

Make sure everyone is inside...

...and their houses are secure.

Go on, now, get on it.

- That should do for now.

- Thanks.

Holy sh*t!

McCabe's bats.

- Sheriff, do you have your gun?

- In my hand.

This might be a good time to use it.

You only have to clip their wings.

Clip their wings?

Would you shoot their damn heads off?

And don't miss.

Damn!

- Are you all right?

- Yeah, we're great.

Nice timing.

Thank God you got one.

I need to study it immediately.

We've got other plans for this one.

Catch your own.
