My favorite part of the day.
Money, money, money,
money, money, money, money.
And I have a surprise for
you later at the motel.
Ah, I love it.
Guns, money and sex.
These are some of
my favorite things.
Let's rock.

So what's up with the
local serial killer?
Ain't nothing new.
Had savages running
out here since forever.
Personally, I think
it's the runoff.
What?
Runoff?
Toxic water.
Those old mines be
spitting out some bad juju.
Ends up in the water.
Make those old
miners go brain dead.
Psycho.
So you're trying to tell me
there's an insane
dude running around,
cutting people's heads
off, eating their brains
and it's 'cause
of the bad water?
Like I said,
ain't nothing new.
Bullshit, it's aliens.
Oh God.
Here we go again
with that alien crap.
It's aliens.
Jay, I'm cutting you off.
No, no, no.
I'm good, I'm good but listen.
You've heard of the
cattle mutilations, right?
If I had a dollar for
every time I heard that crap.
They're here bro.
I've seen the lights.
They want our brains.
They want our information
Information?
Jesus Christ Jay,
they already figured out
how to come down here.
What could we possibly
have to offer them
that they don't already know?
(instrumental music)
Nope, it's the aliens.
Jesus.
Listen, I know Area 51
is just up the hill.
That doesn't mean we have
aliens running around
and taking people's heads
and eating their brains.
It's an urban myth.
It's an old wives tale.
It's complete and
utter bullshit.
(soft instrumental music)
(soft instrumental music)
(soft instrumental music)
Hey babe, what's your name?
Where are you from?
Not a talker?
Cool, let me guess.
You think you're
too good for here?
Are you from Hollywood?
Around here, girls
gotta stick together,
if you know what I mean.
Slim pickings and mean as hell
but you get used to it.
What's your name, sister?
Okay.
I like that.
You're a hard bitch,
aren't you, sister?
I was just trying
to be friendly.
Oh, I see.
Too good for me.
Hollywood bitch
too good for Casey.
Hey Casey.
Back off.
Give the lady some room.
Shut up Irishman.
Me and the girl are talking.
Just girl talk, right BFF?
Fuck these guys.
(soft instrumental music)
Oh, how about a little kiss
and make these dickheads
lose their loads?
Away.
(Cara blows)
Piss off.
My kind of whore.
Maybe she needs a drink.
(tense music)
Drink up little girl.
You've got a
problem, sweetheart?
Come on, daddy
bought you a drink.
I've got a big bike.
Go for a nice ride.
A long ride.
A real long ride.
Come on, let's blow
this taco stand.
Go for a ride.
Long and hard.
I got plenty of gas.
(dramatic music)
(head thuds)
(eerie music)
I told him not
to drink so much.
Hey Jay.
That's it.
No more for you.
I'm taking your keys.
(water splatters)
(ominous music)
(dramatic music)
(knife sloshes)
Jay.
Jay.
Hey Jay.
Come on man.
Show is over.
Time to go home.
What the fuck?
Are you freaking kidding me?
That woman.
(dramatic music)
Fucking bitch.
(gun cocks)
(dramatic music)
(body thuds)
(eerie music)
[Nurse] Wake up.
Tweet, tweet.
Wake up.
Tweet, tweet little bird.
Ah, my head.
Good little bird.
(Irishman coughs)
Easy.
Easy.
You'll scare all the worms away.
Where am I?
In my nest.
Aren't you?
Nest?
What?
Concussion.
Your head, your brain,
perfectly healthy.
Delicious.
Delicious.
Rest well.
You have a very valuable
head, little Robin.
Hey.
Hey buddy.
I got crabs again.
Don't worry.
That nurse over there rubbed
lotion all over my body.
I'm not itchy anymore.
Hey, what happened to you?
Where the hell am I?
Shush.
Not so loud, you gotta whisper.
They might hear you.
What?
Quiet please.
They might hear you.
Who?
The aliens.
(boy chuckles)
(tense ambient music)
You've seen them, haven't you?
The aliens.
I know.
They got me too.
- What?
- Abducting.
The aliens.
Oh yes.
Aliens?
It's okay.
I don't have a chip.
I'm not dead.
Shush.
(boy chuckles)
(boy loudly exhales)
(boy chuckles)
The aliens.
(boy chuckles)
Tweet, tweet.
How's the head?
Oh, just fabulous.
That's good.
A few more hours.
What the hell?
How did I get here?
The men dropped
you off with weapons.
Weapons?
They had shiny things.
Badges?
Police?
Guns?
Yes, guns.
Police?
Yes, a police.
You need to rest little bird.
All right, enough with
all that birdy crap.
What the hell?
Avian creatures
are magnificent.
You're shrill.
Shrill?
What are you even talking about?
What kind of crazy
lucid dream is this?
You should rest.
We need that head to be perfect.
(tense music)
Hey bro, them
aliens eat brains.
What?
Shush, not so loud.
I know it.
They told me so.
Sure man.
They did.
You were abducted?
Of course.
Okay, then why
didn't they eat you?
They said I had brain cancer.
They said my brain was rancid.
But hey, they said I was nice
and they don't eat people's
brains if they're nice.
Nice?
So let me get this straight.
They didn't eat your brains
because you were too nice.
They got good taste, I guess.
(boy laughs hysterically)
Good taste.
I'm in a goddamn nuthouse.
(dramatic music)
(boy breathes heavily)
(boy moans)
No.
Jesus Christ.
You said I was nice.
No, no!
No!
(boy groans)
(Irishman breathes heavily)
(boy grunts)

(ominous music)

You're not from
around here, are you?
I guess that makes you an alien.
Folks around here don't
like illegal aliens.
I like aliens.
Can I take a picture?
So a guy got killed
at the bar yesterday.
You should clean off that blood.
It's okay.
They say he is a
bad guy anyways.
So anyways, they had
cameras in the bar
and they're looking for you.
So what you wanna do
is go up that road
you'll see a poster
with a skull on it.
Go up that road.
Better get going before
the locals start the hunt.
They're assholes.
(tense ambient music)
(tense music)
(tense music)
(tense ambient music)
We've been waiting for you.
Feed.
I'm satiated.
Is that so?
It is.
Well, we are
glad you are here.
This body, you've chosen well.
It fits.
This language, however.
It is limited, isn't it?
These humans are rather limited.
Unusual place this is.
Uptight.
Yes, grossly.
Well, it is a feast of
greedy souls, isn't it?
It seems that way.
My ecstasy is failing.
Feeding time.
Join me.
Later.

(tense music)
Well, what do we have here?
Something different.
Something very different.
I can't smell you.
Why can't I smell you?
What is this?
Nothing in there, empty.
Perhaps you are defective.
No mind, no thoughts,
absolutely no intelligence.
Typical of your species.
However, this is something
very different, isn't it?
Well, let's find
out what's in there.
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
You have no power here.
You're just in time
for a little feast.
Feeding time.
What is this?
She's only a human,
a lower organism.
Why would you care?
Shall I tell her?
Shall I tell her the truth
before I consumer her?
We control the universe.
We have been among you
since you were nothing
but a single cell amoeba.
We have always been here.
Always.
The arrogance of
humanity is pathetic.
You are pathetic.
Would you like to
know why we are here?
The proteins in your
brains are delicious
and this planet contains
important minerals.
We've been mining here
for millions of years.
You are our slaves,
nothing more.
Now you know.
But it matters not.
Now is feeding time.
