About
Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home (there could be some money in this). As you guessed, it isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant.

Wallace
So, what you're saying is you would be willing. Excuse me, Jack would be willing to take in this creature and care for it and love it like a pet?
George
No, like a member of the family.

Skepticism About Mythical Creatures
Wallace
I'm going to say this once. Going to say it simple. And I hope to God for all of your sakes that you all listen. There are no Abominable Snowmen. There are no Sasquatches. There are no Big Feet!
