Tremors (1990) Edit

A few household chemicals in the proper proportion.

A few household chemicals in the proper proportion.

A lot of noise.

A man who plans ahead...

A thousand gallons of gas, air filtration,

All of them pushing at once.

All right, a crane?

All right, get back.

All right, get back.

All right, get down.

All right, here. Oh, fuck.

All right, here's the plan. We need a flatbed.

All right, how much we need?

All right, let's go.

All right, together. One, two, three.

All right, well, why don't you start thinking?

All right.

All right.

All right.

And beer.

And how could they bury a whole station wagon?

And l have to build my new pottery kiln.

And see if they went into Bixby or not.

And the doctor's place is right here.

And they hook you and pull you right in.

And those tentacles.

And we could hike along them all the way to Bixby if we....

And we have just never seen one till now.

And you got to get the police up here.

And you got to step on it.

And, besides, maybe we will hire a maid.

Any chance you can get the other two? Come back.

Any of those snake things show up here, we make them extinct.

Any sign of them?

Anyway, sorry to bother you.

Are required for a stampede, Earl?

Are they going to get us? What happened?

Are you going to give up all this personal freedom?

Are you going to stand there and tell me, in broad daylight,

Are you serious? Old Fred's dead?

Armored transport.

Around here? No, ma'am.

As long as they're doing it way over there.

Ass that won't quit and legs that go all the way up.

At least he can't climb.

At the exact same time. Now that's two.

Bastard.

Big monsters. Underground. Now get out.

Big mother slug, maybe.

Big surprise for the Russians.

Big, green eyes, world class breasts,

Bologna and beans. lt's your turn.

Bomb shelter.

Boom.

Breaker there, Earl. What did you want us to do? Come back.

Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room didn't you, you bastard?

Burt and Heather's place is closer.

Burt got one. He killed one.

Burt loaned me his camera.

Burt, can you hear me now? Over.

Burt, come on.

Burt, Heather?

Burt, Jesus Christ.

Burt, listen. Forget shooting them.

Burt, they're under the ground. They're under the ground.

Burt, you okay? l am okay.

Burt, you sure you're okay?

Burt. Heather.

Burt. Heather.

Burt. Heather. No. No. No.

But here... Yeah, yeah. We will take your word for it.

But here's one three miles away

But l am best at driving the Cat.

But they can't move through rock.

But they're not Hydrashok hollow points.

But we can't all fit on the bulldozer.

Can l borrow that shovel?

Can you fly, you sucker? Can you fly?

Carmine?

Catch you later, Chang. We got a schedule to keep.

Chain saw. That's what l will use.

Cocktail?

Cold, my ass.

Come back. Hey, Walter.

Come on, baby.

Come on, boy. Come on, git, git.

Come on, Burt, get serious.

Come on, Burt. Heather...

Come on, Burt. Move it.

Come on, get in.

Come on, honey. Don't look so afraid.

Come on, it will be at least a month's work.

Come on, let's go, you two. We're headed for the mountains.

Come on, let's go. The roof.

Come on, let's go. The roof.

Come on, lunchtime, snot head.

Come on, now.

Come on, you got to get higher.

Come on, you guys, answer.

Come on, you're bullshitting me, right, pal?

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on, let's just go.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Somebody must have chased him up there.

Come on. What are you waiting for?

Come on. What are you, scared? Come on.

Come over. Hang on a sec.

Consider it stepped on.

Could be a snake.

Could somebody, perhaps, help me?

Could they? l mean....

Could we make it to the mountains, use Burt's explosives?

Could we take the Cat?

Could you shut up?

Crybaby.

Damn it, Burt. Just listen to him. Something's wrong.

Damn it, Melvin.

Damn it, Valentine.

Damn it. What the hell are they doing?

Damn prairie dog burrow.

Damn right, $15.

Damn. Where the hell is he?

Do you know if anybody's doing any drilling or blasting

Do you suppose he wanted to kill himself?

Doctor?

Doesn't he have a home to go to?

Don't forget the TV.

Don't touch.

Don't want to winch it. lt'd tear it all up.

Don't worry about me, jerk off.

Down, honey. Down.

Dude, something like that.

Earl, what happened?

Earthquakes.

Eat it.

Edgar, get your butt down from there.

Eels live in the water, don't they?

Especially on this rock, it's a perfect conductor.

Even footsteps. That's how they hunt.

Everybody down.

Everybody get the hell out of here.

Everybody ready to run?

Everybody we know between here and Bixby is already dead.

Excuse me, l thought bullets were bullets.

Fifteen seconds at least.

Food for five years.

For Christ sake, we could have made a stand at our place.

For Christ's sake, Val.

For God's sake, this isn't the moon.

Freeway.

Fuck you.

Geology.

Get back. Get back.

Get her, Val. Mindy, come back.

Get in the trailer.

Get inside. Get inside.

Get off the ground, Nestor. Get moving.

Get out of the way. Get out of the way.

Get out of there. Get off the ground.

Get out of your pants.

Get real, Earl. l am faster than you.

Get up on your roof. No way.

Get up on your roof. The things.

Git.

Give me that thing.

Go for what?

Go.

God damn.

God damn. Praise the Lord.

God, what is that stink?

Going fishing like.

Good idea. We will swing by the doctor's place

Good Lord, honey.

Good morning, Mr. Basset.

Good thing we stopped it before it killed anybody else.

Good, because you have the only truck in the valley

Got you moving, didn't it?

Grabbed old Fred right here.

Ground's getting closer, Earl. Yeah.

Guys, look, l don't need firewood.

Guys.

Guys. You guys.

Hang on, Burt. This bastard's trying something new.

Hang on, Val. Let's not go off half cocked.

He died of dehydration. Thirst.

He sat up there and just died of thirst?

He's chasing it. He's chasing it.

He's cutting people's heads off.

He's dead.

He's gaining on us.

He's just going to wait us to death.

He's only kidding.

He's trying to trick us.

He's up to something.

Heads down.

Heather and l are going to drive around.

Hell, that old semitrailer.

Hell, yes.

Hell, you never use it.

Here goes.

Here they come. They're coming back.

Here, l need one of those candy bars.

Here, what do you want? This colt or Edgar's old rifle?

Here.

Here. Come on, Burt.

Here. Yeah.

Here's one at 2:00 yesterday.

Hey, Burt, something real weird is going on over there.

Hey, Burt. You have any more of those bombs?

Hey, Earl. Here's some Swiss cheese and some bullets.

Hey, Fred.

Hey, Fred.

Hey, give me a gun. l will take one.

Hey, guys, listen. Bearing going out.

Hey, guys. What's going on?

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wake up.

Hey, hold up.

Hey, it's Val and Earl.

Hey, l don't need to spend the night out here.

Hey, listen, l have got a question for you.

Hey, look at that guy.

Hey, Melvin, you want to make a buck?

Hey, Mindy, what's the count?

Hey, pizza face.

Hey, pizza face.

Hey, Rhonda, you ever heard of anything like this before?

Hey, Rhonda. What do you think it's trying to do now?

Hey, so like we don't vibrate, right?

Hey, there, old Fred.

Hey, there's Walter's saddle horses.

Hey, Val. Quiet, man.

Hey, wait a minute, guys.

Hey, wait. This stalled out your truck?

Hey, what's going on? Where are you guys?

Hey, what's Nestor paying us?

Hey, what's she doing?

Hey, what's that vacuum cleaner for, man?

Hey, what's that?

Hey, who the hell's that?

Hey, why don't you just back off, string bean?

Hey, why don't you take a little stroll and find out?

Hey, you sorry sons of bitches. Come and get my ass.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. Hey, check this out.

Hi, guys. What you been doing?

Hi. l am Rhonda. Rhonda LeBeck.

Hmm.

Hold it.

Hold this.

How about the tractor?

Howard. Howard.

Hungry? Eat this.

Hurry.

I say it's been listening.

If it came up and bit him in the ass.

Is see if old stumpy's still out there.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ. God damn.

Jesus Christ. We're only going nine miles.

Jesus, here comes another one.

Jesus, Walter.

Jesus, we really caught something here.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Jesus. l don't believe this.

Jim.

Jim.

Jim. Something's got me.

Jump, Rho. You can do it.

Just back off, Burt. Just don't goddamn push me.

Just beyond that hill.

Just doing jobs like this is you dragging your feet.

Just hurry. Burt, Heather, what are you doing up there?

Just keep looking at that beautiful sky.

Just let it go. Let it go. Forget about it.

Just one damn day too late, you know?

Just one of these couldn't eat up Fred and his whole flock of sheep.

Just to get up that jeep trail.

Keep going.

L am dead. Let's put this stuff up in the morning.

L am going to go for it.

L am going to go get Mindy.

L am going to help you.

L am just saying, some of my cattle are missing.

L am making the run for the Cat.

L am not accusing anybody.

L am not kidding.

L am not.

L am older and l am wiser.

L am on 22. Come back.

L am sorry. l am having a real difficult time with this.

L am up here for the semester.

L am waiting.

L am with you, honey.

L ask you, is this a job for intelligent men?

L can't believe this.

L can't reach them.

L did eggs, over easy.

L didn't do it.

L didn't know we had it.

L don't believe this. The phone is dead.

L don't believe you guys.

L don't care what they're doing

L don't know why we always has to be me every damn time.

L don't know, man. They're too fast.

L don't know, Val. That's a hell of a long way.

L don't know.

L don't know.

L don't know. l can't believe it.

L don't see any eyes.

L don't see anything anywhere.

L don't think it does scare them. lt hurts them.

L found the ass end.

L go for penetration.

L got it.

L got it. l got it.

L guess they're still driving around somewhere.

L have got it.

L have got seismographs all over this valley.

L have heard all about you.

L have this big order to fill,

L know he does. He thinks he knows everything.

L know. l know. l am working up to it.

L like this vacuum cleaner.

L mean, are we asking too much of life?

L mean, God damn, what the hell are those things?

L mean, here it is Monday, and l am already thinking of Wednesday.

L mean, how's it know we're still here?

L mean, if we were real serious about money,

L mean, is it like three or more?

L mean, it just....

L mean, the school's had these machines up here for three years,

L mean, this thing had sensors tripping all over the place. No...

L mean, what the hell is going on?

L mean, what's a woman like her want with a guy like me?

L might have to bag the whole semester.

L never figured on having to shoot through dirt.

L say we all jump together.

L say we go with Miguel's plan.

L scared you, didn't l?

L think l have an idea.

L think l scared him.

L think the first thing we got to do

L thought you call it your pecker.

L vote for outer space. No way these are local boys.

L will call that little bluff. How close?

L will forget what l eat, too.

L will give you boys $5 for this.

L will tell you one damn thing,

L will throw in lunches.

L wish a stampede up your ass.

L wish you had, fearless leader.

L won. l pick who does it.

L wouldn't give you a gun if it was World War lll.

Let him go out by himself.

Let me have my gun.

Let me see that.

Let those things follow him all over if they like that noise.

Let's do their linoleum today and do the garbage tomorrow.

Let's get going. Let's move it.

Let's go back to town or something. Please, Jim.

Let's go.

Let's see if we can keep him right there.

Lf it comes to starvation, l know what l am doing.

Lf that's how we're doing it, we're going prepared.

Lf them graboids don't kill him, l will.

Lf those mountains are solid granite, we'd be safe there.

Light it, man. Light it.

Like hell you are.

Like what?

Listen, run down to the store and pick me up a six pack. l will pay for it.

Listen, run down to the store and pick me up a six pack. l will pay for it.

Listen, they only respond to vibration, right?

Listen, we're in deep shit over here.

Little sons of bitches.

Look out.

Look out.

Look, damn it. Now listen to me.

Look, these are hollow points,

Look, these creatures are absolutely unprecedented.

Look, they trapped Edgar here.

Look, this is important, you know.

Look.

Look.

Look.

Looks like the one that grabbed our truck.

Looks more like an eel to me.

Looks to me like they're coming up with a plan.

Ls there a minimum speed?

Ls there some higher force at work here?

Lt can hear every move we make,

Lt doesn't matter now. They know we're here.

Lt doesn't matter where they come from.

Lt don't matter. They're all the same, dead weight.

Lt is Monday, right?

Lt knocked itself cold.

Lt senses seismic vibration.

Lt sure might be a slick way to get to know her.

Lt was right here. There's the cord.

Lt worked. There they go.

Lt worked. They can't find him.

Lt'd have to be one strong son of a bitch.

Lt's .375 H&H mag.

Lt's all pretty exciting, huh?

Lt's disgusting.

Lt's garbage day.

Lt's going to take us days to get back with help with Nestor.

Lt's gone.

Lt's like you're giving up or something.

Lt's not going to hurt you. l promise.

Lt's our last one.

Lt's right over there.

Lts tires are flat. Doesn't matter.

Magazine. Here.

Makes my skin crawl.

Man, l hate this shit.

Man, oh, man, he sure must have been drunk this time.

Maybe even three or four.

Maybe it's a geological thing or something like natural gas or a geyser.

Maybe l will see you sometime?

Maybe they will leave us alone.

Maybe they won't even come through here.

Melvin, get out of there.

Melvin, get your....

Melvin, shut the hell up.

Melvin, you're next. Come on. Sit down, look scared.

Melvin?

Melvin.

Melvin. You touch that truck and die.

Mindy, get back. Get back.

Mindy, get off the pogo stick.

Mindy, get up. Get up.

Mindy, look up. Smile. Come on.

Mindy, smile.

Mindy.

Mindy.

Mindy.

Mindy.

Mom.

Mommy.

Mommy. Everybody stay here.

Most of this shit is yours anyway.

Mountains to the east and the west.

Must be a million of them.

Must be long gone.

Must be totally subterranean.

My cannon.

My truck's parked right next to one.

Nailed those two poor suckers on the road,

Negative copy on that, Walter. Check your frequency.

Next thing the feds will be at our door.

Next time l tell you l am not hung up....

Nice meeting you. Hope you get it all sorted out.

No breakfast?

No name? Ha.

No problem.

No problem. Anytime.

No sign. No spoor.

No tracks.

No use going for help.

No way.

No way. No way, man.

No worse than Edgar.

No, l can't. l can't.

No, Nestor. That's no good.

No, no, no, don't want to winch it.

No, no. lt gives me an idea.

No, there's still two of them.

No, we need a major four wheel drive

No.

No.

No.

No. Coyotes didn't kill Fred.

No. He graduated. Must be the new one.

No. He only wears that one damn jacket.

No. lt was eggs.

No. We can't reach outside the valley because of the mountains.

No. What are we going to do? Be quiet, quiet, quiet.

No. What are we going to do? Be quiet, quiet, quiet.

No. You don't understand, Nestor.

No. You guys got to do something.

Nobody handles garbage better than we do.

Nope. Just one.

Not bad. What do you think?

Not while l am around.

Not yet. Not yet.

Nothing.

Now had you thought about that, Earl?

Now if you compare the different readings.

Now listen. Here's the plan.

Now me and Earl think we better get the hell out of this valley.

Now remember, no noise, no vibrations.

Now running's what you do when a plan fails.

Now there's nothing, and l mean nothing,

Now this valley is just one long smorgasbord.

Now, damn it, Valentine, you never plan ahead.

Now, look, we don't dig today, we don't get paid today.

Now, look.

Now, the second we hit Bixby, we start making some phone calls.

Of course, that's a hell of a long walk.

Of course.

Oh, Burt, be careful.

Oh, Burt, you asshole.

Oh, come on, Earl. Now this is low.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Oh, hell, man, no one ever saw anything like this.

Oh, hell, she's got my vote.

Oh, Jesus. lt's slower than hell.

Oh, Jim.

Oh, man, l am really shaking.

Oh, man, l don't think we can make that.

Oh, man, they're going.

Oh, man.

Oh, man. Already?

Oh, man. You're not going to do your lasso thing?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. lt's....

Oh, my God. You really are.

Oh, no, Mindy.

Oh, she's okay. l saw her playing down the street.

Oh, shit. We need a helicopter is what we need.

Oh, sure, Earl. Everybody knows about them.

Oh, sure.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, that damn thing.

Oh, that's one job l'd never do.

Oh, the cinder blocks.

Oh, yeah. See, we plan ahead.

Oh.

Oids. l like snakeoids.

Okay, $15.

Okay, l got it.

Okay, let's make some noise.

Okay, now.

Okay, one to go.

Okay, ready.

Okay, so they predate the fossil record.

Okay, Val, we're with you. Just tell us what you want to do. Over.

Okay, Val, you say let's get out of here.

Okay, Val.

Old Chang, slick as snot, and l ain't lying.

On a wagon and stay there.

On these residual boulders.

One of them comes near me, and l will just hit him with a five pound pickax.

One of these days, you're going to have to get your ass

One, two, three.

Ooh. l broke a nail.

Or a goddamn tank.

Or anything like that?

Or better than that, why don't you just take my Model 70?

Or no, no, no.

Or suckoids. Oids.

Over here, you slime bucket. Come get me.

Over.

Over. No problem.

Pardon my French.

Pardon my French.

Pardon my French.

People? Hell. National Geographic.

Phew.

Please move your ass.

Psst. Psst.

Quiet. Quiet. Don't move.

Ready when you are, Miguel.

Relax. lt's dead.

Remember in Yellowstone?

Repeat, two more motherhumpers.

Rhonda, here.

Rhonda?

Rhonda. Don't stop. Keep moving.

Rhonda. Yeah, she's having trouble with her, uh,

Rifle.

Right out there about 30....

Right.

Right.

Run for it? Running's not a plan.

Run, Val. Run.

Run.

Run.

Run. Come on.

Run. Come on. Come on.

Run. Don't look back. Come on. Come on.

Say over. Over.

Say, Burt?

Scare him away.

Seismographs for her if you want.

She means up the old jeep trail.

She's going for her damn PhD.

Shit, for all you know, they could fly.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit. Enough.

Shit. lt's been waiting here all this time?

Show me one. l will ask him.

Smile.

So l think we should head west to the mountains.

So what if we make it to the rocks?

So where are we supposed to go?

So you think there are more of them out there?

So you two screw ups hauled us way the hell out here?

So, now what?

So, what are we going to do?

So, what's on the agenda for today?

Some kind of mutation.

Somebody could ride to Bixby.

Somebody killed old Fred.

Something to keep them busy, like a decoy.

Something's going on here.

Something's got me down here.

Something's got me.

Son of a bitch.

Son of a bitch.

Son, beer is for adults.

Sons of bitches.

Sorry.

Sorry. Time to move. Eminent domain.

Sorry. Time to move. Eminent domain.

Stampede, Earl.

Stampede.

Stampede.

Stay on those residual boulders.

Stinks, too.

Stop, stop.

Stupid son of a bitch.

Sure as hell can't smell us underground.

Sure made them think twice though.

Tammy Lynn Baxter.

Tell her to get her ass back into town.

Tell me this. Can you get to your truck?

Tell them to come on.

Than to climb towers and drag your hairy ass down.

Thank you, Earl.

Thanks, Heather.

Thanks, Walter.

Thanks, Walter.

Thanks, Walter.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That can get up that jeep trail.

That Cat can pull anything.

That did it, girl. God damn good thinking.

That is the plan.

That packs more of a punch than that 30 30.

That slimebag ain't going to give us much time once we hit that truck.

That stupid list of yours from top to bottom.

That takes a couple of days, doesn't it?

That Tammy Lynn Baxter, she do much pole vaulting?

That trail's all messed up.

That way we don't do anything right now. Earl explained it to me.

That would make them a couple billion years old.

That's Edgar Deems.

That's fine.

That's for damn sure.

That's him, l am telling you.

That's how they get you.

That's it. We're making a run for it.

That's it. You're welcome to them.

That's not bad. That's not bad.

That's not what's his name, the grad student?

That's one big mother.

That's pretty good.

That's supposed to be a girl.

That's the sky that's going to be over our roof every night when we're done.

That's what l like, Graboids. That's it, graboids.

That's why Edgar never got down off that damn tower.

That's why Heather and me settled here in the first place.

That's why it moved so fast.

The .458, shooting solids. Less ammo to carry.

The best goddamn bullet stop there is. Come back.

The car's gone. We just missed them, that's all.

The cinder blocks are in.

The dirt.

The first thing to do is take some pictures of that one we dug up.

The government built them.

The hell you did.

The loose soil that covers the valley floor.

The new one?

The phone's out. The road's out. We're on our own.

The snake things are just their tongues or something.

The way l figure it, there are three more of these things.

Then we can look at the sky all the time. Huh?

Then what'd they do?

Then when it explodes, l mean, if it drives them away,

There he is. There he goes.

There it goes.

There they are.

There you go.

There's a killer on the loose.

There's a lot of mines and stuff around here.

There's always options. We just got to think of them, that's all.

There's no way they could lift 30 tons.

There's one. Straight out in front.

These animals are huge.

They can dig like a son of a bitch.

They can feel our vibrations but they can't find us.

They come up from underneath the ground and they grab you.

They dug a trap.

They got the patience of Job.

They sense the slightest vibration through the ground.

They shouldn't be here already.

They stink like that.

They wasn't making no noise.

They will just wait out there till we're dead. That's exactly what they do.

They'd have to take a dump someplace.

They'd have torn your place out from under you in half an hour.

They're bigger than we thought. They're huge.

They're coming right after you guys. They're coming right now.

They're doing it again. They try it every time l stop.

They're getting smarter by the minute.

They're mutations caused by radiation.

They're pulling our chain.

They're so sensitive to sound, they got to run.

They're sure as hell going to get us if we stay here.

They're under the goddamn ground.

They're under the ground.

They're up on top of the roof.

This bastard ain't smarter than us.

This better be one hell of a great plan.

This is probably the biggest zoological discovery of the century.

This is real weird.

This is weird.

This is your wake up call.

This must be the old boy had your seismos working overtime.

This one ain't dumb.

This one's not falling for it.

This son of a bitch is mine.

This way.

Those snake things couldn't travel that fast.

Thought you two were in Bixby by now.

Three hundred head going hell bent for the horizon.

Three more?

Throw that bomb, man.

Throw the bomb.

Tonight we will keep right on going. We will walk the horses.

Too close.

Try to distract him. Come on, everybody.

Turn it off.
