here tonight so you believe it - the

what your nerves won't Maidan it doesn't

matter whether I believe it or not you

do believe in her they never get another

chance like this again and I'm not gonna

blow it I gotta meet oboe in ten minutes

[Music]

[Music]

hey buddy you made it tell you the truth

I thought you'd chicken out on me not in

a million years I may be only 11 but

I've got vision and the swamp maidens

one vision I'm not gonna miss think you

can handle it I mean we're talking total

babe here start naked I can handle it

remember whatever you do don't kiss her

I don't want to kiss her but assuming I

did what would happen and one kiss in

your gonner

legend has it one kiss and you turn into

a monster a monster yeah big ugly one

hey you're not scared are you no I just

won't kiss her that's all I'm safe to

look but just don't touch start naked

huh yeah it's gonna be awesome

a real education for you buddy

shoulda known you wouldn't make it

[Music]

I kiss you're too young to appreciate it

it's just a little strong that's all

[Applause]

try it with some sugar

[Applause]

a better pal much

[Music]

think it's her I don't think so

she's supposed to rise out of the water

damn get out of here

go home

you really picked one hell of a spot for

our camp I didn't pick it well the next

place we settled into let's make sure

it's solid ground I don't think we got a

call tonight no way you're not gonna let

a lousy sinkhole spook you off are you I

guess not

hey come on I want to hear a little more

conviction in your voice this is a big

night it could be one of the biggest

nights of your life

that wouldn't be hard considering my age

let's go find this swamp maybe

are you sure we're going the right way

got any better ideas

[Music]

what you're doing in my trap what your

trap doing to me did you get him down

what's with the net like most trapped is

that they catch something we swamp

Maiden tabloid stuff total

sensationalism how do you know because I

write it probably read some of my work

I'm the one who broke the story and the

present is close encounter with aliens

you're a writer journalist the name's

Greg Dunbar what are you doing out here

and what's that thing for fiction they

trap me some headlines what do you mean

there's more than one legend out here

besides a swamp mate rumor has it that

there is also a swamp creature I'm gonna

trap them one way or the other so what

do you guys know about this swamp

creature nothing there's no such

creature it's just a dumb ledge and

what's not it's been a rumor around for

years about some kind of half man/half

plant thing living out here look you

really believe that stuff anybody ever

seen it not that I know of the only

legend I'm interested in is the 36 22 34

kind could I guess anything's possible

listen guys

and I can't be in two places at the same

time but if that swamp maiden does show

up how'd you like to earn an extra 25

bucks doing what all you have to do

let's take a few pictures of it what do

you say 50 bucks and it's a deal

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I think it yourself come on this way

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

it's not a legend now with a bod like

that

where you going gotta get a closer look

be careful Lobo remember what you said

it's okay I'm cool

she liked to touch me

on your hands across my body

get away from her I'll run run would you

end up that thing's dinner my trailers

I'm only to come out once every third

season when the moon aligns with Neptune

I want the night to be mine one night of

yours can cause years of devastation I

will not allow it you will not allow it

have a soul of the swamp but tonight I

will put an end to your domination the

only thing that there will be an end to

tonight is you well you have to fight

not only me but the young man I turned

into a creature of destruction what

young man some young fool who could not

resist my allure and beauty you must

break the spell you have on him
