WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?
>> OOH HOO HOO!
I DON'T THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE.
GRIM WENT TO BED EARLY LAST NIGHT AFTER MILK AND COOKIES.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
MILK AND COOKIES.
>> YOU DON'T SAY?
I GUESS THE COMBINATION OF MY YEARS OF TRACKING ANIMALS IN
THE WILD AND THE MODERN TECHNOLOGY OF THE SURVEILLANCE
CAMERA ARE WRONG.
>> DEAD WRONG.
>> WELL, SORRY ABOUT THE MIXUP.
I GUESS YOU CAN GO.
>> THANK YOU.
I DO HOPE THOSE OWLS WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

>> I HAVEN'T DONE THAT SINCE I MADE BILLY'S DAD DIG HIS OWN.
GRAVE.
GOOD THING SALIVA STARTED TO CHEW ME BONES, OR WHO KNOWS
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED?
[SNORING] >> SEE?
I TOLD YOU THAT BAG OF BONES WAS UP TO NO GOOD.
>> LET'S NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES, SHERLOCK.
I INVITED YOU HERE TO PROVE THAT GRIM HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
THIS.
>> YEAH?
I BET HE HEADS STRAIGHT FOR THE CAGED OWL I PLACED NEXT TO THAT
CREEPY TREE IN THE FRONT YARD.
BINGO!
TOLD YOU.
NOW LET'S TAKE HIM BEFORE HE DOES SOMETHING HE REGRETS.
>> WAIT.
>> HA HA HA!
GRIM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY CHOCOLATE-DIPPED PICKLES?

I CAN EXPLAIN.
>> THIS OUGHT TO BE GOOD.
>> FOR YEARS I'VE BEEN COMPELLED TO AVENGE THE LOSS OF MY DEAR.
PET RAT SNIFFLES.
I NAMED HIM SNIFFLES BECAUSE... CAN YOU GUESS... HE
SNIFFLED A LOT.
HA HA HA!
HE'D BE COVERED IN SO MUCH MUCUS, HE WOULD LOOK LIKE A
TARRED AND FEATHERED RAT.
[RAT SNORTS] OH, HE LOOKED SO CUTE.
ONE DAY I HAD TO CLEAN HIS CAGE, SO I LET HIM OUT INTO THE
BACKYARD.
AFTER I WAS DONE, I CALLED OUT TO HIM.
SNIFFLES!
BUT HE WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
ON A NEARBY TREE, I SPIED A WHITE-WINGED OWL LOOKING
TRIUMPHANT AND FULL.
[COUGHING] FROM THEN ON, I VOWED TO AVENGE
MY DEAR SNIFFLES AND RID THE WORLD OF THOSE WHITE-WINGED
DEMONS OF THE SKY.
FRAMING GRIM WAS JUST A BONUS TO GET THE FREELOADING SACK OF
BONES OUT OF MY HOUSE.
YOU EAT AS THOUGH FOOD AND MONEY GROW ON TREES!
>> I DON'T EAT ANY MORE THAN THAT BOTTOMLESS PIT OF A SON OF.
YOURS.
>> TEE HEE HEE!
>> I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT, TOO, IF IT WEREN'T FOR.
THOSE MEDDLING KIDS.
>> NO, NO, NO.
DOWN HERE.
THANK YOU.
>> BUT, MOM, WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?
>> AND BESIDES, WHITE OWLS DON'T EAT RATS.
THEY'RE KNOWN TO BE VEGETARIANS.
>> THAT STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO SNIFFLES.
>> I THINK I CAN EXPLAIN.
ALLOW ME TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS MYSTERY.
>> HAROLD, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SNIFFLES?
>> YEAH.
ABOUT THAT, BABE.
IT'S A FUNNY STORY.
YOU SEE, I HAD JUST FINISHED DEVOURING SECOND BREAKFAST, AND
I WAS STILL HUNGRY.
I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GONNA MAKE IT TO LUNCH.
I WAS WANDERING AROUND THE HOUSE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT,
WHEN OUT IN THE BACKYARD I SAW A BADGER.
AS I WAS PICKING IT UP, SOME STUPID OWL TRIED TO STEAL IT
FROM ME.
INSTEAD, IT MISSED AND GRABBED A CHUNK OF HAIR OFF THE TOP OF MY
HEAD.
I WAS SO HUNGRY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE.
AND IT WAS THE MOST DELICIOUS BADGER EVER.
AND THAT'S HOW I SURVIVED THAT FATEFUL MORNING.
IT'S SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, BABY.
THE CIRCLE OF LIFE MUST CONTINUE.
>> YOU ATE MY SNIFFLES AND NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT FOR ALL THESE.
YEARS?!
>> THAT'S RIGHT, BABY.
I DIDN'T TELL YOU, BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT YOU.
WHY?
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
>> OH, HAROLD, YOU'RE TOO GOOD TO ME.
>> OH, YEAH, BABY.
PAPA'S GONNA MAKE EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT NOW.
>> SO, HAROLD, YOU ATE MY PET RAT SNIFFLES.
NOW, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MY PET GOLDFISH, MR. FLOPPY?
>> OH, YEAH, HIM.
THAT'S ANOTHER FUNNY STORY.
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I'M GONNA BE SICK.
>> ME, TOO.
>> I KNOW WHAT WILL MAKE US ALL FEEL BETTER.
>> IF YOU SAY CHOCOLATE-DIPPED... >> CHOCOLATE-DIPPED PICKLES!
>> THAT'S IT.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
>> BUT, MANDY, I FOUND MORE CHOCOLATE BY SALIVA'S DOGHOUSE.
GRIM!
CORY!
OH, WELL, ALL FOR ME!

>> HOO HOO!
I'll SAY.
NOW THAT I'M INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH BILLY'S LOWER INTESTINE,
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
>> HEY, WAIT, GUYS.
DON'T YOU WANT TO SAY HI TO MY UNCLE NERGAL?
HE JUST DROPPED IN TO VISIT FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON AT ALL.
AND HE BROUGHT HIS PURSE.
>> OVERNIGHT BAG.
>> AW, COME ON, JUST BE NICE, GRIM.
GO ON.
SHAKE HIS HAND.
>> WELL, ALL RIGHT, BILLY.
BUT DON'T SAY I NEVER... WELL, IT'S LIKE THEY SAY.
NEVER TRUST A GUY WITH ELECTRIC SNAKES GROWING OUT OF HIS BACK.
>> YEAH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP HERE ANYWAY, NERGAL?
COME TO TRY TO KILL US AGAIN WITH ANOTHER CONVOLUTED SCHEME
DISGUISED AS A CRY FOR FRIENDSHIP?
>> NO.
THIS TIME I THOUGHT I'D JUST USE THIS OLD LAWNMOWER.
>> COOL.
>> NERGAL, YOU'RE THE LOWEST OF THE LOW, AND I'M NOT JUST.
SAYING THAT BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN THE CENTER OF THE PLANET.
>> OH, COME ON.
I'M JUST KILLING AROUND.
CAN'T A MAN JUST POP BY TO SEE HIS BELOVED RELATIVES NOW AND
THEN?
BESIDES, I BROUGHT PRESENTS.
>> PRESENTS?
REALLY?
>> NO, NOT REALLY.
>> WELL, YOU KIDS PLAY NICE WITH YOUR UNCLE NERGAL.

YOUR BRAIN.
>> I KNOW IT'S STARTED WORKING ON MY HANDS.
>> SWEET MERCIFUL HOO-HA!
BILLY, YOU OUGHT TO BE WEARING MITTENS.
>> I WOULD HAVE, BUT UNCLE NERGAL NEEDED THEM.
>> YUCK.
NERGAL.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE HE CAME TO
STAY FOR THE WEEKEND.
>> YEAH.
WHEN IS HE GONNA LEAVE?
>> ♪ DA DA DA >> UNCLE NERGAL?
>> [COUGHING] YES?
WHAT IS IT?
OH, BILLY, IT'S YOU.
COME ON, SIT.
I'll THROW ANOTHER MITTEN ON THE FIREPLACE.
>> THAT'S NOT A FIREPLACE.
>> REALLY?
THEN WHAT IS IT?
>> IT'S MY NEW VIDEO GAME CONSOLE.
>> WHO NEEDS VIDEO GAMES WHEN WE HAVE FAMILY?
IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE FAMILY WHO LOVE YOU.
RIGHT, BILLY?
>> UNCLE NERGAL, WHEN ARE YOU GONNA LEAVE?
>> BILLY, CAN WE PLEASE NOT HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AGAIN?
>> OK. NEVER MIND.
>> I CAN'T EVER GO HOME AGAIN.
>> SURE, YOU CAN.
LET ME CALL YOU A TAXI.
>> BILLY, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN YOUR CLOSEST.
LOVED ONES THINK YOU'RE A WORTHLESS FAILURE.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
MY FAMILY VALUES ME A LOT.
THAT'S WHY THEY KEEP ME LOCKED AWAY IN THE ATTIC FOR DAYS AND
DAYS AT A TIME.
>> IT ALL STARTED AFTER DINNER ONE NIGHT.
I THINK IT WAS A TUESDAY.
OH, JUST GO TO A FLASHBACK ALREADY.
WE HAD JUST POLISHED OFF A LOVELY CASSEROLE PREPARED BY MY
WIFE SIS.
>> HOW WAS IT, DEAR?

THANKS, MOM.
>> NO!
NO!
NOOOO!
>> OK, WHOSE TURN WAS IT?
>> SO YOU SEE, BILLY, I'M A SAD, SAD FAILURE.
I CAN'T EVER SHOW MY FACE IN THAT HOUSEHOLD AGAIN.
>> MAYBE YOU CAN SHOW SOME OTHER PARTS OF YOUR BODY.
>> [SOBBING] >> SO YOU'RE A LITTLE CHALLENGED.
WHEN IT COMES TO BOARD GAMES.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU A COMPLETE FAILURE.

IT'S EVERYTHING!
[WHISTLING] [MACHINE WHIRS]
NO!
NOOO!
[CLANG] NOOO!

GEE, I DON'T KNOW.
>> TRUST ME.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY.
>> REALLY?
>> HOW DO YOU THINK I MAKE IT THROUGH LIFE WITH THESE TWO.
EVERY DAY?
>> GEE, I...

THE SOONER YOU CAN FACE YOUR FAMILY AGAIN.
>> MY FAMILY!
I WILL TRAVEL THE ROAD TO ACCEPTANCE, ALTHOUGH I DO NOT
KNOW THE WAY.
>> DON'T WORRY, MAN.
WE'LL TAKE YOU THERE.
