Stan: I think it was maybe aught-four. I had a busload of rubes hooked, but right when I'm about to close the deal this big hand comes outta the woods and now I've got two halves of a bus in the lot. Everyone saw it, it was right out in front of the whole slack jawed group.
Dipper: Wow. In 2004?
Stan: Somewhere around there.
Dipper: I bet the Blind Eye was all over that.
Stan: Nah, that's the thing. They rented another bus and were outta the valley within the hour. Nobody from town ever heard about it. And I never heard about it either, not afterwards, not ever.
Dipper: I don't get it. Why didn't they tell anyone? I mean, if it was just one person, maybe they wouldn't want to sound crazy, but out of a whole bus there had to be someone who would talk, right?
Stan: No one ever does. The valley keeps its own secrets, kid. It's always been that way.
