g*dd*mn

not here

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

the swamp is my world

it is Who I am it is what I am I was

once a man I know the evil mentor do not

bring your evil here

I warned you beware the wrath of swampy

[Music]

stupid guys watch where you're going

[Music]

I hope you're ravenous my pet it's a

great big fat juicy taught us out here

for you to sink your teeth into in fact

the entire swamp is yours to feast on

[Music]

Bon Appetit

[Music]

Oh Kane

you've just performed your last foul

that I don't think so

what was that creature you said loose

since you're so interested

there was no creature there was a little

pet of mine granted he's not your

ordinary household pet but then it's not

just any ordinary pet who has the urge

to devour every living thing that comes

in its way

of course you probably give him

indigestion there's plenty of other

animals for him to enjoy your mad or

keen it's time you were stopped I'm not

mad I'm a genius and I don't think you

really want to stop me under the

circumstances touch me and you'll never

see the kid brat again or does Jim have

to do with this nothing

that's what's so unfortunate for him but

I had to have him kidnapped you see

insurance to keep you from interfering

with my present project

and I'm the only one who knows where

he's hidden what do you want not much

leave me alone and I'll freak Jim if not

there's likely to be one more mutant in

the world say about so hyoe blond hair

I don't have any choice I have to look

out for my pets you see I've got five

more ready to go if this one's a success

which means when I unleash them all they

lead the entire swamp including you

[Music]

you'll get your little friend back by 4

a.m. that should give me enough time to

make sure my pets been properly trained

and incidentally that's about the time

when Jim's oxygen will run out in fact

he has exactly 8 hours and 45 minutes

well

doodle-ooh you'll regret you ever did

this arcane you'll pay for this someday

jim-jim hey are you up there Jim it's

dinnertime

Oh beau hi it's Tressa Kip it's Jim with

you oh well if you do send him home okay

thanks bye bye

there you are my little pet it's your

belly or fall out God

it's time to go home

well what are you waiting for

getting the damn cage

[Applause]

Oh

hi mrs. Kip Jim still not home have you

checked the arcade apparently it was

there hours ago and then he left I

looked all his usual hangouts I don't

know where he could be here how about I

help you look

thanks I know a few other places we can

check out

[Music]

Jim

Jim are you here

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Oh No

Jim Jim Jim Jim

[Music]

jim-jim

[Music]

damn

don't worry mrs. Kemp we'll find it he's

probably just out fishing and got lost I

know what you're doing and I appreciate

it I only hope you're right

[Music]

where have you got Jim

I'm going to have to bring you back

[Music]

I can't he doesn't deserve to live I

have to

[Music]

it's stuck to our King looks like an

animal guy

Oh

do you think there's any link between

this and gymnast I doubt it who could

have done this to him I wonder what he

was doing out here to begin with I will

never know will we

[Music]

sure quartz I'll take care of so all

right let's get going

once we'll meet you back in town come on

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

dr. arcane they called me here at 1:00

in the morning for him aren't you gonna

take a look at him I couldn't look at

him when he was alive but the sheriff

wants to know what k*lled him he can

find out tomorrow

you just can't call off the search for

the night Tressa

it's useless to go back into the swamp

now it's almost two o'clock in the

morning we have to wait for day like you

wouldn't feel that way if you were your

son you know I'm worried about Jim - do

you think it's possible that he's been

kidnapped

yes it's for you Andrews here I'll be

right there that was about something

else I have to go now trust it but the

moment I hear anything I'll call you

I'm really sorry believe me I do

[Music]

[Music]

what am I doing here

am i dead you were and I brought you

back but it can't easily be undone it

was that insidious creature of mine it

turned on me it actually k*lled me why

did you save me oh yes I have the boy

where is he

I can't tell you but not without a

guarantee of what no one will ever know

what I've done

I must have anonymity as the kidnapper

which is such an ugly term anywhere and

your word that you won't k*ll me once

you've got Jim back this is an over

arcane but you've got my word good I

don't much like being dead and this

place depresses me

follow me a pile of moss

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

you can't tell anyone you were kidnapped

why not

it was the agreement I had to make to

free you come on Who am I gonna tell

don't question it Jim I wish I could

tell my mom all about you someday not

now I know it's the way it has to be

[Music]

[Music]

mom

mom

yeah Oh were you alright what happened

to you where had you been okay

I just sort of had an accident I fell

down this dumb going and I must have

bought my head oh it's not important the

important thing is you're here now

[Music]

Tressa my poor dear I heard that Jim was

missing

what an awful ordeal for you to go

through and all alone

ah thankfully it's all over what what

about what you went through I know it's

going to take weeks for my throat to

heal terrifying experience what did you

say

what's even more terrifying is the gross

incompetence of that coroner should I

say ex continent to not even realize I

was alive I was rather hard to miss

isn't it now I tell you something being

so close to death was truly an

existential experience you'll have to

tell me about it sometime

disgusting monstrosities this will keep

you from ever turning on your master

that's for you my little you will be the

beginning of a glorious new attempt

[Music]

you
