HERE WE GO AGAIN, ANOTHER BITCH FIT.
LOOK AT THIS-- RUTABAGA, BOK-CHOI, DAIKON, TOFU, CELERY JUICE! CELERY JUICE! THIS ISN'T FOOD.
IT'S A COMPOST HEAP.
THAT'S THE BEST HEALTH FOOD HARRY AND I COULD FIND.
MADAM, BEHAVE YOURSELF, AND YOU'LL BE SURPRISED.
THIS WASN'T A PLANNED WEEKEND ON THE TOWN, AND YOU KNEW IT.
NO, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
YOU'RE GETTING OFF ON YOUR EMOTIONAL SKYROCKET.
YOU ARE BEING ABUSIVE.
YOU GET ME UP HERE, A HUNDRED MILES FROM CIVILIZATION-- AND I TOLD YOU THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD BE-- [RUFF RUFF.]
CONTROL YOURSELF.
YOU CONTROL YOURSELF.
THIS IS WHAT WE GOT.
THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL EAT.
I WANT REAL FOOD IN A REAL RESTAURANT, AND I-- THERE ISN'T A REAL RESTAURANT WITHIN A THREE-HOUR DRIVE.
I'M IN A DAMN SWAMP WITH NO FOOD BUT MY LIVER.
DON'T BITE ON THAT.
IT'S FULL OF BILE.
DON'T BITE ON THAT.
IT'S FULL OF BILE.
CYNTHIA, I'M WARNING YOU.
YOU PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, OR I SWEAR I'LL-- YOU'LL WHAT, HUH? AAH! OH, THESE DAMN BUGS.
OH, I NEVER EVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE WANTED TO GO CAMPING.
I'M AN INDOORS GIRL.
BUT NO.
YOUR FRIEND HARRY WANTED TO GO CAMPING, SO WE-- [RUFF RUFF.]
HARRY EATS MAGGOT BIOTIC GARBAGE, SO WE HAVE TO STARVE.
YOU'RE MAKING A SPECTACLE OF YOURSELF.
YOU'VE GOT ME OUT HERE CAMPING.
I'M STARVING, AND I HATE IT.
GIVE ME THE CREDIT CARDS AND THE KEY.
YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
THEY'RE MY CREDIT CARDS, TOO.
AAH! STUPID DOG.
I SHOULD HAVE HAD YOU BOTH PUT DOWN.
IF I HAVE TO DRIVE MYSELF, I'M GOING HOME.
NO, YOU WON'T.
YES, I WILL! YOU WILL NOT! YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH CIVILIZATION! AAH! I CAN'T WATCH THAT ANYMORE.
THE MOON'S SOON FULL.
IT WILL BE TIME.
I FEAR WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THESE PEOPLE KEEP FIGHTING.
THEY'VE KNOCKED EACH OTHER ABOUT FOR 45 YEARS.
HE'S MARRIED TO A CROCODILE.
HE'S MARRIED TO A CROCODILE.
DOES SHE REMIND YOU OF EMMA? EMMA WASN'T THAT BAD.
AND NEVER WILL BE AGAIN.
YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE INVITED THEM.
JACK SAVED MY LIFE.
IF HE HADN'T DRAGGED ME THROUGH A FIREFIGHT, I'D BE UNDER GUADALCANAL.
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO REPAY HIM.
NOW I FINALLY CAN.
NO, NO, NO GOOD AT ALL.
[CYNTHIA.]
YOU KNOW WHAT? AS SOON AS WE GET BACK I HOPE YOU'RE HOME WHEN THE BILLS COME BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE-- WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER IF WE ALLOWED OURSELVES TO SUCCUMB TO THE BEAUTY OF THIS PEACEFUL PLACE? WHAT? I CAN SMELL JASMINE.
IN THE ISLAND WHERE MY FAMILY LIVE, WE HAD A GROVE LIKE THIS, WHERE WE'D SIT ON THE STUMPS OF TREES AND LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF SILENCE.
I COULD DO WITH SILENCE.
LET IT BEGIN WITH YOU.
DIGLYCERIDES.
DIGLYCERIDES? WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE? IT MIGHT BE PARTLY GENETIC, IN WHICH CASE IT'S NOT ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT.
YOU COULD USE MORE YELLOW VEGETABLES IN YOUR DIET.
MORE MAGGOT BIOTIC STUFF? LUCILLE.
PLEASE STOP STIRRING THAT STUFF.
IT'S MAKING ME QUITE SICK.
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL MIXTURE OF HERBS.
IT WILL DO WONDERFUL THINGS.
NAME ONE.
NAME ONE.
IT'S A NATURAL INSECTICIDE.
IT REPELS WITHOUT KILLING.
WORKS VERY WELL, I CAN SEE.
HARRY, SORRY ABOUT THE DISTURBANCE.
WHAT ARE YOU APOLOGIZING TO HIM FOR? HE SHOULD BE APOLOGIZING TO US.
HE SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO ME.
CYNTHIA, PLEASE! KEEP ON LIKE THIS, YOU'LL KILL ME.
TO KILL YOU, I WOULDN'T USE WORDS.
I'D DO IT LITTLE BY LITTLE.
FIRST I'D CUT OFF YOUR DICK.
FIRST I'D CUT OFF YOUR DICK.
WHAT THE HELL.
YOU HAVEN'T USED THE THING IN 20 YEARS.
WHAT THE HELL.
YOU HAVEN'T USED THE THING IN 20 YEARS.
NO.

NO, I HAVEN'T, HAVE I? HAVE I? SOMETIMES THAT MAN JUST GETS THE BEST OF ME.
SOMETIMES THAT MAN JUST GETS THE BEST OF ME.
DON'T DO IT, JACK.
DON'T DO IT.
SHE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY.
I CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THIS, YOU CAN'T DRINK.
ONE DROP OF THIS, AND EVERYTHING GOES THE WRONG WAY.
I TRIED.
I TRIED SO DAMN HARD, HARRY.
I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE.
WHEN EMMA WAS THIS WAY, I ALMOST DROPPED HER.
WHEN EMMA WAS THIS WAY, I ALMOST DROPPED HER.
THAT'S A HELL OF AN IDEA.
CYNTHIA AND HER LAWYERS WOULD BE IN ME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
WHAT WILL YOU DO? WHAT DID YOU DO? ONE NIGHT WHEN WE WERE CAMPING NOT FAR FROM HERE, SHE WANDERED OFF FROM THE CAMPSITE.
WE SEARCHED FOR DAYS.
MM-HMM.
NEVER FOUND HER.
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO TONIGHT, I'M BEHIND YOU.
I'M BEHIND YOU.
I JUST HEARD SOMETHING VERY STRANGE.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.
THE MOON WILL BE VERY CLEAR TONIGHT.
THE MOON WILL BE VERY CLEAR TONIGHT.
AND THAT IS GOOD.
AND THAT IS GOOD.
HOW DEEP DO WE HAVE TO DIG? NOT VERY.
I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE MYSELF.
I AM A MAN WHO'S LIVED A LONG LIFE, A REALISTIC BUSINESSMAN WHO THINKS HE'S SEEN IT ALL, AND I'M ON MY KNEES AT NIGHT IN A SWAMP.
AND I'M ON MY KNEES AT NIGHT IN A SWAMP.
DIGGING FOR OAK.
IT'S CALLED PAY DIRT MY FRIEND.
I GAVE THAT MAN MY YOUTH AND MY BEAUTY, AND NOW I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.
WELL WELL IF THE MAN MAKES THE LIVING, THE WOMAN SHOULD MAKE THE LIFE, WORTH LIVING.
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ME LUCILLE.
YOU'VE ONLY KNOWN US SIX MONTHS.
YOU'VE ONLY KNOWN US SIX MONTHS.
MY GOD, IT'S DAMP, ISN'T IT? YEA, IT HAD TO BE.
YOU KNOW LUCILLE KNOWS THINGS I HAVEN'T EVEN GUESS AT.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD SKIN SMOOTH AND FIRM.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THAT'S LIKE, JACK? OH, YOU DON'T FORGET THAT STUFF.
IT HAD TO BE.
WE'RE THERE.
IT SOUNDS KIND OF SOLID FOR BULBS.
IT SOUNDS KIND OF SOLID FOR BULBS.

JACK, MEET EMMA.
THIS BEGAN WITH A 6-INCH BLADE.

I CAN'T LET YOU WALK OUT.
YOU'RE ENTITLED.
I CAN'T LET YOU WALK OUT.
YOU'RE ENTITLED.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHAT HAVE I GOT TO LOSE.
LUCILLE SAID THESE BULBS ARE PLANTED IN EMMA'S MOUTH.

LUCILLE HAS A SECRET.
MY FATHER LEFT ME BULBS THAT HE BROUGHT FROM THE ISLANDS.
THEY HAVE SPECIAL POWERS.
