The premise

Here’s the bit.

At his office desk, former farmhand Hank phones his employee Whitney's husband, Tim, to finalize plans for her surprise birthday party. While on hold he answers a call from his mother and talks her through butchering a cow, switching between the two conversations. Whitney walks in partway through and hears only the fragments: sedate her, knock her out, kill her quickly, the whole office is in on it. Convinced her husband and coworkers are planning to murder her, she sinks to the floor in panic and frantically tries to reach Tim, while Hank cheerfully thanks him for his help. A coworker then arrives to report that he has the blindfold and baseball bat ready for tonight, and Hank whoops with delight.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

She'll crush you like a Coke can.

Maybe it's a different Tim.

We don't want to hurt her, we just want to eat her.
