Sheriff Frank

Gremlins, huh?

Billy

Yes.

Sheriff Frank

Little monsters?

Billy

Right.

Sheriff Frank

Hundreds of them?

Billy

I don't know, maybe thousands. Look, I know it sounds crazy. I know it does, but in a matter of hours, this town's going to become a major disaster area! You have got to warn people!

Sheriff Frank

You think the kid is drunk?

Deputy Brent

No, but you are!

Sheriff Frank

Tell me something, Billy. How does a cute little creature like this turn into a thousand ugly monsters?

Billy

Well, this is before it enters the pupal stage.

Deputy Brent

The pupal stage?

Billy

Yeah, right. Plus it multiplies with water.

Deputy Brent

Aw, Christ!

Sheriff Frank

Brent, why don't you give the kid some water?

Billy

I wouldn't do that, sheriff.

Sheriff Frank
[The phone rings. The sheriff answers it]

Sheriff's office. Yeah, speaking... What?... Oh no... Yeah, we'll be right over.

Deputy Brent

Who was that?

Sheriff Frank

The Futtermans. Something about a snowplow, a freak accident...

Billy

It's the creatures! The creatures are making it look like an accident! Sheriff! WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME?!

Sherriff Frank

You listen to me, kid! Go on home, take little Gizmo, sit by the fire and open your Christmas presents, okay? Atta boy!

Deputy Brent
[as he and Frank leave]

Let me drive.

Sheriff Frank

No, you're drunk.

Deputy Brent

You always get to drive!

Sheriff Frank

Cause I'm the sheriff, asshole!

Sheriff Frank

My god, Frye, that was Mrs. Deagle.

Deputy Brent
[A gremlin under the police car pulls out the brake wire from the car. Meanwhile a Santa Claus comes out of his house attacked by gremlins.]

Jesus, Frank, that's Dave Morris! He does Santa every year!

Sheriff Frank

Yeah, but what the hell is he doing now? What's that stuff he's got all over him?!
