You okay?

Okay, Oscar, careful.
-(PUNCH) -Unh!
-Pssh! -(LAUGHS)
That's no fair.
MAN: Can we go?
Hoo.
-Blblblblb! -WOMAN: Can you be more careful this time?
Hey, Oscar, where are we?
Shortcut.
Yeah, I-- I get that. Shortcut.
But, uh where are we?
We're outside of Fort Collins, man.
Yeah, but Fort Collins is not on this map.
Actually, we're not on this map.
We haven't been on this map since I-77,
so can you help me out?
All right, you look here, Niles.
It's like I told Emily when I invited her on my little excursion.
We are all gonna be sipping hurricanes
in the Big Easy by round lunchtime tomorrow.
-Now, if you have a problem-- -See? Look. There's another one.
-Another what? -Abandoned-looking church. I mean,
that's like the fifth one I’ve seen on this stretch.
Eh, place looks pretty thrashed.
I thought all there was to do down here was make babies and praise God.
Randy, don't be ugly.
Yes, ma'am.
-(RADIO TURNS ON) -Oh, shit.
Sorry.
(COMMENTATOR LAUGHS)
Lord, I’m praying for your wisdom, yes.
Ha ha! Yes!
(IMITATING) Lord, I’m praying for a baffroom,

Yeah, I gotta go, too.
Tell you what. I'll pull over right over here,
-and we can all squat and-- -Mm-mm. Uh-uh. No. Snakes.
-Snakes? -(OSCAR LAUGHS)
All right. All right.
I'll stop in a minute. Relax.
Thank you.
You're welcome.

Come on. She-- She doesn't know you're kidding.
You, too? All right. Jesus H., man.
I'm just joking. I'm just having a little fun.
I guess not all of us came back with our sense of humor, right?
You're assuming you had one to begin with.
(FAKE LAUGH) I guess that's true.
You don't see too many SEALs doing stand-up, do you?
Why don't you start driving like you got a license?

Why you gotta make me look like an idiot?

Doesn't get any cheesier than that.
It's a shame what some people will believe in.
I guess anything to bring in the tourists, huh?
That right, boys? That what you think?
Think we're just a bunch of stupid hillbillies
trying to make a quick buck?
Think we done faked us up a monster or something, hmm?
(JIMMY SPITS)
Well, y'all mamas should have taught y'all more better.
Mind your manners.

It's not like it's real or anything.
You know it's real when it up and take a chunk out your ass.
Okay, everybody just take a moment.
We--we did not mean any disrespect by that, okay?
You have no idea...
what a real monster looks like.
-(CLANG) -Guys.
Heh. You gotta check out this old flier.
"See the house that Grimley
"built out of blood.
"Guided tours of Lockjaw country, $5.00.
Go it alone, your funeral." Man, this is awesome.
-I love this. -You know the legend, son?
Oh, my dad was way into all this kind of stuff.
(CHUCKLES) Is that right?
Well, ain't so special to the tourists as before.
Have--have any of you guys seen it?
Not many people round here ain't.
He ate my ma in '71.
-No way. -Oh, yeah. Heh.
Heh.
Aw, no fuckin' way. That's awesome.
NILES: What--what are you talkin' about?
Is the house still there?
Heh. Yep.
Except, ain't that one on the flier.
Real one's down at the Desbois Mines.
That one there was built in '82.
Needed more tourists.
Sinkholes kept poppin' up,
so the town thought it best we should move it.
Say, uh, y'all want to see the old Beautine shack?
Ain't that far.
Niles?
Eh, well, hey, don't ask me, man.
I'm just along for the ride.
-This is you and Parker's deal. -Sure.
-Eh? -Yes, sir?
I was expectin' y'all would. (LAUGHS)
Let me draw you up a map.
Let's see. You take this road here.
There you go.
So y'all--y'all got y'all girlfriends with y'all?
Huh?
Y'all are heading down to New Orleans

That's the plan.

Y'all have a good time now.
Take care. That map'll get you there.

No sweat. Just look for the old sign.
You'll find the shack not far from there.

Y'all about a bunch of dumb motherfuckers.
-Oh, my-- -(LAUGHS)

Hey.
Check that out. What do you girls think?
Ha ha!
Three of us, we think it might be kind of fun.
-All right. You know I love this kind of shit. -What is that?
That's the flier from the gas station.
-H-how did you-- -I swiped it from the frame
while you ladies were makin' eyes with the locals.
You sneaky son of a bitch.
I guess you do have a couple redeeming qualities,
-like thievery. -Tcch.
So what is this supposed to be?
What does it say?
"See the house that Grimley built."
Who's Grimley?
It's a local legend. It's told around these parts.
-It's strictly a Louisiana tale. -What, like Bigfoot?
-Yeah, kind of like Bigfoot. -But who's Grimley?
You guys really want to hear it?
No.
Okay, story goes...
there was this family called the Beautines.
OSCAR: The Beautines lived out here in the swamps.
They lived deep, deep in these swamps.
Living off the land, isolated,
they kept to themselves,
have been here for generations.
The family had chosen a simple life for simple folk.
Like most families, they had their own ways.
Theirs was the old way.
Around the 1800s,
it seemed that Beautine family was dying out.
Sterility.
So after a while, that Beautine family tree...
only had a couple branches left.
Caroline and her brother Grimley were their last hope.
What, you mean-- You mean--
-(CHUCKLES) -Oh, man. That--
You know, that is just wrong.
Don't be so quick to condemn them.
It was Beautine way.
The Beautine way is not new.
European royalty, Pharaohs, the Mayans--
All right, all right. Get on with it.
Anyway...
life looked pretty good for old Grimley.
And now with a child on the way,
Grimley intended to take the young girl as his bride.
But on the eve of their wedding,
anon, the legendary white gator
rose from the murky depths.
In a flash of blood and teeth,
he stole her before Grimley's very eyes.
(ROARS)
His world was shattered, destroyed.
In desperation, he scoured the swamps,
his heart breaking with each step,
looking for any sign of his true love.
(WAILS)
But Caroline was gone.
Now, Grimley knew he still had a chance to find her.
Gators don't eat their food right away.
Store it for later. Let it rot.
Softens the meat.
Okay, Karen, now I think we've all seen Animal Planet.
Now be letting me finish the story. How's that sound?
Grimley, he tracked the ancient white lizard...
through a series of caves that ran underneath the swamp.
(GIGGLES)
That's where the monster's larder was.
(CHEWING)
(GROWLS)
(ROARS)
(GROWLS)
(CRACKING)
(CRUNCH)
The last of Grimley’s humanity
evaporated in that blood-soaked cave.
In the darkness,
his sorrow was so great,
it turned to rage.
Rage became insanity.
He began to change.
And in his madness...
(RANDY LAUGHS)
he turned his sorrow
onto the monster that created it.
He began...
(SMACKS)
to eat.
He sat there all night eating.
And he ate every piece of flesh in that cave...
including his sister.
Oh, my gosh.
I think I’m gonna be sick.
Just a story, sugar.
Anyway, so the legend goes
that Grimley changed, mutated,
became one with the gator.
They say he's still out there in these swamps
looking for fresh meat for his larder
and a new bride to thaw his heart.
(LAUGHS)
That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
Well, shit, people, are we gonna
check out this guy's place or what?
Come on, man. It'll be fun.
Whatever.

What are you talking about, lucky?
Oh, come on, sweetie. You know what I mean.
I mean, he--he is so very handsome
and well mannered and charming a-and funny--
Okay, I get it.
And strong.
And have you seen the way he looks at your sister?
I mean, nothing else in the world matters to him.
And have you seen his tush? Mmm.
Okay, enough. I get it.

Hey! Get back over here!
You, what the hell you doing?
Pick her up, and get her back to the house.
Now pay attention to me, damn it.
It's the way it was with your ma.
Everybody gotta do their part.
Or has city livin' taken that out of you, huh?
Everybody gotta give of themselves
-during lean times. -Lean times.
Mm-hmm.
-I know. -Look at me.

-Don't go far. -Yeah, I won't. (SIGHS)
(GROWLING)
-What was that? -What was what?
I heard something over there.

Probably opossum.
It's not opossum.
-Oh, my God. -(HISSES)
Niles, there's something there.
It's big.
(GROWLING)
Hello?
I'm gonna go check it out.
(GASPS)
Oscar, what the fuck is your damage, man?
-You're lucky I didn't kill you. -(GASPING)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey.
-Hey, wait a minute. -He was yelling. He was yelling.
And he's fucking-- I told him to chill.
A-and he goes fucking ape-shit. And she was crying, man.
-Who? -And I tried to stop him,
he cut me! Look. He fucking cut me!
Who the fuck-- Who cut you?!
(PANTING) Randy. R-Randy.

Randy's lost his fucking mind, man!
Randy? My Randy?
You're fucking delusional. There is--
Hold on, Em. Hold on. Chill out. Let's talk.
-Hey, hey, Oscar, Oscar. Oscar, calm down. -No, you gotta--
-You calm the fuck down! -Karen, man!
He fucking cut Karen! I tried to stop him! But I couldn't.
I tried to stop him.
-I think she's fucking dead, man. -Ah, fuck.
-She's fucking dead. -Okay, stay here.
I'm going back to camp and check it out, all right?
No, I’m not staying here, okay? I'm coming with you.
My brother would not hurt anyone,
let alone kill someone.
Em, stay here.
Okay, he's smoked out of his gourd.
He's probably having a bad trip.
But just in case something did happen,
I want to make sure you're safe.
You think I’m-- I'm safer here with this than with you?
Look at him, okay? He's in shock.
I've seen it a million times. Just put the blanket over him.
He'll sweat it out, all right?
Hey, trust me.
Okay.
I love you.
Okay. I love you.
Okay. Um...
(MOANING)
Oscar, it's okay.
No. My sister's dead.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What the fuck?

Do you think it's still behind us?
I don't think there's any way we can outrun that thing
if it's trying to catch us, man.
Em! Where's Em?! Where's Em?!
Hey, keep your distance, Parker!
Keep your fucking distance.
How 'bout you tell me
where Karen and Beth are first, huh?
I don't know where Beth is, man.
I think that thing fucking took her.

-The thing's after us. -I know.
It's tracking us with the smell. Okay, we get in the water,
and it gives us a better chance, buys us more time.
This makes us harder to track. Come on, baby.
-Come on. Get low. -No. I want to go home.
That's the way home, Emily. The boat is the way home.
No, I don't want to go home, and I want my brother, and I--
