You know what today is?

You know how old you are?

Yeah. Hard to believe, isn't it?

Okay. Hold on.

Just stay right there.

I was hopin' to surprise you.

Make up my mind

Tell me what I'm thinking

Just a sec.

I hope it's you and me

Just take it skew

You're really feeling

Make up my mind

Like you've made up yours

Here we go.

Darlin', I just need to know

That I'm the one you love

- Turn it off!

Oh, you loved this song.

We used to sing it to you

every night before you...

Ted... Oh, come on.

Tet!-

Shut up!

Come on. Come on.

Ted! Ted!

Get those lights.

All right. Okay. Here you go.

Listen, we got a...

We got a hospital

just 20 minutes from here.

- I think it'd be wise if I tried to...

- No. No, I'm okay.

I just... I need to lie down.

Well, look, um...

Uh... I'll get you some more towels.

You're gonna need those.

Come on, Ted. Now.

Checkout's at 11:00 tomorrow.

Did you see what happened?

- No.

- All right.

Oh, that poor thing.

Why don't you stand back?

You see what I'm about to do?

Do you understand why?

All right.

Um...

Kind of a shame to waste

all this meat.

What do you think?

I'm a little rusty at this.

Ted, why don't you drag that

over here?

Okay. Why don't you just

put it right under here?

Would you hold your light up?

Okay. Now, look.

Here's what you do. You just...

Just... slide it in.

And then you cut down.

You don't want to...

rupture the stomach.

And then I gotta take

all the organs out.

Get into that stomach.

Oh, you see that?

You gotta get all of that out.

Will you hand me that saw?

Here. A souvenir.

Leave the man alone, Ted!

I see you.

Haven't seen him this morning.

He should still be in here.

- Should still?

- Yeah, we'll see.

Mr. Colby.

Mr. Colby, this is, uh...

- This is Deacon Whit.

- Oh, sorry to bother you. But, uh...

I'd like to ask you a few questions,

if I may.

A little out of it.

I can understand that.

Um, so what brings you to town?

Just passing through.

- You traveling alone?

- Mm, yeah.

I'm gonna need to see your license

and registration, if you don't mind.

It's in the car,

wherever you guys towed it.

Mind if I have a look in the r?

- I prefer you didn't.

- Hmm.

Anything else?

Well, it looks like you got

banged up pretty bad.
