Nathan Grantham: [beginning of a flashback sequence] Where's... my cake? I... want... my... cake! Where's my cake, Bedelia? Where's my Father's Day cake? I want my cake you dirty BITCH! I'm going to have it! Nathan Grantham: [Nathan clacking his cane, bellowing] BEDELIA! It's Father's Day! Where's my cake? You promised me my cake! Bedelia, I'm your father and you're supposed to be taking care of me! Bedelia Grantham: [distressed, almost driven to the point of madness] I DON'T HEAR YOU! I SAID I DON'T HEAR YOU! Nathan Grantham: BEDELIA, YOU BITCH! What do you think I've got you here for? You're just like all the others - you're nothing but a bunch of VULTURES! [Bedelia is in a highly distressed state, almost driven to the point of madness now] Nathan Grantham: [still clacking his cane, the clacking sound has been slowly intensifying] BEDELIA! WHERE'S MY FATHER'S DAY CAKE? Bedelia Grantham: [Bedelia picks up the marble ashtray and lifts it above her head, her father looking up at her in terror] HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Bedelia Grantham: [Bedelia bashes her father's head in with the marble ashtray, killing him instantly] .

Charlie Gereson: [Professor Stanley tells Charlie about the creature in the crate] Pretty far out, Professor Stanley... Professor Dexter Stanley: It's true! It's true - I swear it's true! We got to get Campus Security... Charlie Gereson: [Charlie cuts him off] Campus Security's no good! If I'm having trouble swallowing this one, what the fuck are THEY going to think? Professor Dexter Stanley: [calming down] ... I don't know... what they'd think... Charlie Gereson: They'd think you'd been off on a hell of a toot. No, they'd think we'd BOTH been off on a hell of a toot, and got to seeing Tasmanian devils instead of pink elephants. Charlie Gereson: [Charlie decides to go downstairs to investigate] I think I'll just go down and see how the land lays... Professor Dexter Stanley: [in a panic] It may be OUT! Charlie Gereson: [complacent] Oh, I uh - I doubt that. Professor Dexter Stanley: CHARLIE! Charlie Gereson: Be right back, Professor Stanley!
