How long are you gonna follow me?
Make a fist.
Cool.
Thought I saw every type of mutant half-breed critter thing out there.
I never saw a deer kid.
Leave me alone.
The shit?
-Speak. -Stay back.
You talk. Dammit.
Stay here, little man.
People out there hunt kids like you.
Don't make it easy for 'em.
What's in Colorado?
Nothin'.
The Preserve?
My mama.
You go out there alone,
they'll have your head mounted to a wall by morning.
So long, Sweet Tooth.
How long are you gonna follow me?
Til I get there, I guess.
Get where?
Colorado. That's where she is.
Who?
-My mum. -Oh.
I forgot to tell you.
Colorado blew up.
Yeah, it's...
Everything's gone.
Lasers, I think, and...
All the people there, gone too. So sad...
Sorry, mister. Oh, well. Have a great life.
That was a joke.
Your jokes aren't very funny, Big Man.
What's funny is a little deer kid
thinking he can make it out here on his own.
I'm not alone. I got you.
From now on, you've gotta keep that hat on.
It makes me look stupid.
Wear this hat, and you might just pass as human.
Hello.
My name is Gustifer Chocolate Dingleberry The Third.
That's not your name,
-It's my human name. -Just say Gus.
OK, just Gus.
Hello. I'm Gus. Just a regular boring human boy.
Are we there yet?
Almost.
Real almost, or just almost to make me stop asking?
Real almost.
Goodnight, Big Man.
Hey...
What do you call that thing with the caramel melted onto the apple?
A caramel apple.
Gus, we're offering you your freedom.
You can go wherever you want, just make it far from him.
Good luck with that.
I've been trying to get rid of him for days.
-Shoot him. -No, don't!
No, don't!
Take them both back.
Both?
It's OK. You're Big Man.
Look, man, I'm fine. I can take care of myself.
I always have.
But you need to get out of here while you can.
Go find your mum.
Poor kid.
Take him away.
No, don't!
Don't hurt him, please. No!
-Don't take him away. No! -Gus.
-No! No! -Stand back.
No! Don't kill him! No!
No!
Kid, don't.
Please, don't hurt my friend.
I wanted to say thank you for that...
thing you did back there.
What thing?
-You had my back. -You had mine.
Make a fist.
Cool.
We make a good team, Big Man.
I'm gonna go with you to Colorado.
Wait...
So you're coming with me?
Sure.
Why not?
Yay!
Don't go making a big deal out of it, alright?
We've still gotta get there first.
He's not gonna make it.
Yes, he is. He has to.
Come on, Big Man! Faster!
Come on, you can do it!
Come on!
You can do it!
Come on, Big Man!
Come on!
No!
Big Man! You made it!
Didn't know you had it in ya.
Take your time.
Does that mean...
Yeah, Sweet Tooth.
We made it.
We're in Colorado.
I think you're one of the good ones.
Don't make me lose you too.
Come back with me.
And go where?
Anywhere we want.
What would we do?
Anything we wanna do.
I could teach you stuff.
You can teach me... What was that game called?
Toss the ball.
That's the one.
We need a ball.
I think we can find one.
Maybe you can show me how to make that syrup.
We need maple trees.
We'll find some.
