Mother mayterhas done a good job spreading storiesfor generations.
To scare peopleoff the land.
It's a bunch of crap.
Those storiesdon't scare me, 'cause I know bullshitwhen I hear it.
What are allthese structures? What are you gonna do? Pee yourself? They're nothin'.
They said they was ruinsfrom some old.
Some old city.
Well, that is amazing.
Enough.
And be quiet, ya hear? Bingo.
Hey, there's raccoons in all the trapsyou set down there.
I told youit'd be all right.
You remember how I told you it's done? Yeah, I crushtheir throats.
First you turn themover on their backs.
Then you put your heelon their windpipe.
And you stomp downreal hard.
If you do it right, you'll hear a good crunch.
That'll be theirwindpipe shattering.
Oh, well.
The heel ain'tgonna work with them.
They still gotsome pepper left in 'em.
It ain't? That's whatthe bat's for.
You give 'em a bunchof good whacks.
I've seen it take upto 50 swings once, so you just keep swingin' until you crush their fuckin' skulls.
Okay.

Some traps to clear.
Hey, pa.

Of such anoutstanding quality that you'd be willing to pay 10 times the going pricejust to have 'em.
And out of the kindness of my heart, I'll give you first crack at 'em.
Jameson, the only reason you'd give me first crack is because there isnot another chump east of the pacific ocean who'll even take your fuckin' phone call.

Do you mind if i come up there? Come.
I've been expecting you.
You wanted to see me? Yeah.
About the animals.
The one son your land.
The pine lights, you mean? Pine lights.
Many years ago, a whole nest ofthe pine lights gathered deep in the woods in the clearingjust beyond here.
They became.
Sentinels of the lost city.
So.
Pine lights.
Clearings.
Sentinels.
Lost city.
No disrespect, but.
What has that got to do with anything? It's why I walled off my land.
It's why I warn people about trespassing.
What you say.
You tryin' to keep people of the land.
To protect them? Is, uh.
Is that them? Are they the pine lights? Yeah I was wonderin' if you'd be willing to give me a coupleof the, uh.
Raccoons? Now, obviously, I'd be willin' to pay you for them.
It was you the other night, wasn't it? You killed them.
No, ma'am.
Of course not.
You were the reason they died.
To satisfyyour vanity.
No, ma'am.
Your callousness.
No! ******* *********** They have not had their final say.
They have not finished with you yet.
What's the matter, lou? Sue chin yao.
What the hell happened? She suffocated.
What? We had to pull an all-nighter to make surethe coat was ready.
Apparently she sent the other seamstresses home around 4:00 in the morning.
Said she could finish it herself.
She was the only one here when this happened.
