You know, David,

That whatever you tell me

Stays in this room.

I'm a nurse.

I'm here to help.

I mean, I'm supposed

to say that, but...

it really is true, David.

Okay, first, can I see

the back of your neck?

Okay.

Eating a frog?

I don't know, David.

That's some kind of story.

It's not a story.

A UFO lands in the back

of your house

And puts something in

your mom and dad's neck,

Then it gets your teacher

And the police

and your friend, heather,

And her father, Ed,

From the telephone company?

How did it get

Mrs. Mckeltch?

She said the frogs came

from around copper hill.

She must have been there.

Stay right there a minute.

Well?

Mrs. Mckeltch,

David seems concerned

About an injury to your...

to your neck.

My neck?

Yes, he says that you're

wearing a bandage.

Why, yes. I have

a boil on my neck.

A boil?

A boil.

I could help you clear that up

If you'd let me look at it.

Don't touch me!

I want the boy.

If you don't give him to me...

you have a lot of nerve, sister.

Oh, boy.

This is going to be a mess.

Okay.

Go out the window.

Now, this is the key

to my back door.

You wait for me,

And I'll come and see you

when classes let out.

Where do you live?

462 south royal.

Okay. Bye.

Where's David?

He's not feeling well, heather.

Why don't you come back later?

He's still with the nurse.

His parents will take him.

He's not well.

He may be in danger.

We'll sue.

What kind of nurse

Are you, anyway?

I'm sorry,

Mr. Gardner.

I just left the office

for one moment.

When I got back, he was gone.

What did he talk to you about?

He was upset.

He's having a problem

with one of the teachers.

I told you.

He needs psychiatric help.

Is that all he said?

Yes.

It was only a small problem

With one of the teachers.

Oooh!

Oooooh!

A, e, i, o, u.

You get me a pile,

Then you get me whittles,

You bring them both to me,

Or I'll have your heart

and liver out, David Gardner!

David Gardner!

I'll get you.

Aah!

I'll get you.

David Gardner.

I'll get you.

I found them!

Keep it down.

They'll see us!

I was down there!

I found Mrs. Mckeltch.

Calm down.

We're in big, big trouble!

I saw them.

They're bigger than

anything I've ever seen!

They probably think

I've kidnapped you!

No! They tried

to catch me.

They chased me

through their tunnels.

They almost killed me.

What? Who?

These things.

They're huge, ugly, slimy,

giant Mr. Potato heads!

Hold it.

I don't understand

what you're saying.

Come on.

I'll show you.

David!

You're not just

a crazy child, are you?

This is where

the tunnel opening was.

I don't see anything.

It's gone!

But I'm positive it was here.

I'm positive!
