A scene from Gremlins 1984
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!
