- Chris: I'M STARTING TO HAVE A BUNCH A' HUNCH THAT MAYBE
E.D. LEVAIN IS INVOLVED IN ALL OF THIS.
- Susie: LEVAIN?

JUST TO DO A REMAKE OF "PARTNERS IN CRIME"?
- NOT A REMAKE -- A SPOOF.
IT WAS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST SPOOF OF ALL TIME.
BUT THESE UNGRATEFUL ACTORS DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN IT.
SO I HAD TO KILL THEM AND SHOOT THE MOVIE WITH THEIR CORPSES.
- Chris: TOO BAD NOBODY'S GONNA SEE IT.
BRETT, TAKE THAT FILM OUTSIDE AND BURN IT.
THEN TAKE THE ASHES TO THE DESERT AND BURY THEM.
AND THEN, UH, KILL YOURSELF SO YOU DON'T ACCIDENTALLY BLAB
ABOUT IT, OKAY?
