Sheriff Frank

Gremlins, huh?

Yes.

Sheriff Frank

Little monsters?

Right.

Sheriff Frank

Hundreds of them?

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?

No, but you are!

Sheriff Frank

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

Well, this is before it enters the pupal stage.

The pupal stage?

Yeah, right. Plus it multiplies with water.

Aw, Christ!

Sheriff Frank

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

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.

Who was that?

Sheriff Frank

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

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!

[as he and Frank leave]

Let me drive.

Sheriff Frank

No, you're drunk.

You always get to drive!

Sheriff Frank

Cause I'm the sheriff, asshole!

Sheriff Frank

My god, Frye, that was Mrs. Deagle.

[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?!
