Oh, hello, darling. It's me, the cutesy who makes your tootsies roll. The hoofer

bringing a fetish to your foot.

Elvira, Mr. Set -A -Dart.

I said hoofer with an F.

Mama got a check in the mail last week, something called a residual.

I knew all that residue would come in handy one day. And since I wasn't

on it for something like rent, I thought I'd drop a little coin on some new

shoes.

Oh, my God, look at these Manolo Bronics.

Are they...

Shoe toys.

Oh, my favorite, my favorite, my favorite are these boobatons.

Oh, did anybody see that?

Anyway, so I thought in honor of the new kicks.

What a great opportunity to screen the 1959 foot fetish film, The Killer Shoes,

a tale of a lonely shoe salesman who finds himself caught in a love affair

between a pair of sandals and some Uggs.

What? It's not The Killer Shoes?

What the hell is a true?

True. Now, any of several small mouse -like insectivores of the genus Dorax,

typically denoted by having a long, small, sharp snout.

Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Quick! Quick! Call the exterminator! Call her cat!

Call anything that eats mice!

Call Sarah Palin!

Don't go anywhere, darling. We can't start the movie until we get rid of this

vermin.

No! We will not be starting the killer shrews on Lily McCobb!

Oh!

species. The giant killer...

Oh, there's a lot of quiet out there.

Almost smell it, can't you?

No, but I can feel it.

The pressure's dropped so fast, it's almost made my ears pop.

Hurricane's got different ways of telling you it's there.

Where is it?

Dead ahead.

What's that mean, then?

My boy, that puts our port right in the middle of it.

on the lee side, though. We'll snuggle up close to the bluff and ride it out.

What about the bottom?

Well, the chart shows it's good holding ground. Clay.

You know something?

If this thing had an automatic pilot, I wouldn't have to put up with you.

Then you wouldn't have no battery to chew out.

We should be there in a couple of hours.

These mills of yours keep running.

Look, automatic pilots can't play Dixieland jazz on their...

Dead ahead.

Man, that sure do look good.

A man named Krakus owns this island, doesn't he?

That's the name on the crate, Dr. Milo Krakus.

We'll unload tomorrow.

I don't want this crap sitting high in that water when that blow hits.

You going to ride stern, too, with a lot of water under? That's right.

That sea won't make up in that cold.

I'm out.

like a duck. If she swings too far to starboard, we might have to take a check

line to shore.

Hey, Rook, take a slant up that trail.

Now, that's a rather strange setup, wouldn't you say?

Looks like somebody's getting rid of somebody, huh, Cap?

Maybe.

Nothing wrong with Captain Ferguson, I hope.

Well, I wouldn't know.

I just bought his run.

Oh, I see.

Were you able to fill our order?

Everything on the list.

Here's the manifest.

Missing last week's supply has drawn us a little short, you know.

Captain, after you have unloaded, I have a passenger for you.

Ann?

Captain Sherman, this is my daughter, Ann Craig.

Hello. So you're the passenger.

That's right, Captain.

Oh, it's going to be nice having you aboard.

I'm getting a little tired looking at Griswold.

But we're not leaving today.

In fact, we're not even unloading.

That load will cut the roll in half.

You expecting an invasion?

Yes, animal.

Game or otherwise?

Under certain conditions, it could be dangerous.

Hey, Ruff, you want to shake the kinks out?

Limber up a little?

Not me, Captain Blythe. You go right ahead and stretch your legs.

That ship's going to be bugging like a bugging prong for a long time. Besides,

got some work left to do.

If you do come ashore, wear a gun.

Got you, Captain.

And I told you about the hurricane. You act like you didn't know anything about

it.

What's the matter? You're set broken down?

You've been out of communication for more than a week, Captain.

Can't be fixed.

Totally out of commission.

My assistant.

Mr. Farrell. Jerry Farrell.

Father, perhaps the captain would enjoy a drink.

join us in a cocktail.

Well, I've never been known to turn down a drink yet. I'll be glad to accept.

Fine. In that case, we'll have martinis.

Mario.

Si, senor.

Mix them, please.

Right this way, Captain.

Come in.

You have everything here you need?

We are self -sufficient here.

We have cows for fresh milk, chickens for fresh eggs.

We even have saddle horses.

Sort of a world all your own.

That's exactly what I've tried to create.

Well, to each his own.

If you have to be isolated for your work, you've picked a lonely little

Excuse me, please. I think I'll change.

because you aren't leaving until tomorrow. Well, I can understand that.

But there's something else bothering her.

Bradford?

Bradford?

Bradford, would you please step over here? I'd like you to meet someone.

There's no need to shout, Doctor. I'm right here.

I'd like you to meet Captain Thorne Sherman.

This is my other assistant, Radford Baines.

How do you do?

Two new litters since lunch, Doctor.

Both support GT -116.

That's good, but... We can breed them to the 205 group in about three weeks.

But I'd prefer to wait and expose about half of them to the Hoskins factor

first.

If you agree.

Good idea.

Do you know there's a hurricane coming?

Hurricane. Hurricane.

Suppose there's much we can do about that.

Glad to meet you.

Herman, wasn't it?

You have to excuse Radford.

Anything that does not concern his project does not get through to him.

Brilliant mind.

He would startle if someone didn't remind him to eat. Must be very

work. What's his field?

Biology. We specialize in genetics, heredity.

I'm afraid my interest doesn't run in that line, you know.

Think what would happen if you could isolate and identify the inherited fact

each gene.

Now, wait a minute. I'm afraid I'm not very good with pure research.

This is practical research.

Generally, among mammals, the smaller the size, the higher the metabolism and

the shorter the lifespan.

Is that right? Well, I'm attempting to...

to decrease the size while maintaining a low metabolism and resultant a longer

lifespan. What reason?

Overpopulation.

Not a problem now, but it will be in time.

If we were half as big as we are now, we could live twice as long in our natural

regions.

Father, may I speak with you a moment?

Will you please excuse us, Captain?

Well, providing you dropped the captain, I prefer Thorne.

Tell me something, Doctor.

Has a hurricane ever hit this island before that you know of?

I wouldn't know.

You've only been here nine months and this place has been unoccupied for

Well, have you ever been through one?

Only the fringes.

Well, this one's building up very fast. Pressure drops very quickly in the

center. I'd advise you to get some doors and windows open in this place.

Then donate us on the room.

And if your fresh nan's drink, I'll go and check them.

I'd be happy to.

Thank heavens you're right, Dick.

Why, are rations getting short?

No, it's more than that. Much more.

We'll surely be able to sail tomorrow, won't we?

Possibly.

But not probable.

Not too late, anyway.

Takes a long time for a sea like that to quiet down.

Well, if you're worrying about me, you needn't.

I'm a good sailor.

Oh, I'm not worried about you.

We'll sail when the time's right.

Got them opened, all right.

Well, Captain, let me freshen you a drink.

One for the road.

I'm trying to rush you, but it will be dark soon. I've invited Thorne for

dinner, Father.

Oh, I see.

If you're not worried about your ship, you're welcome.

I'll take a rain check on that dinner, if you wish.

Father, I've asked Thorne to stay.

Progress, Doctor.

This is the sole survivor of Group 30.

It's old today.

Well, that's equivalent to 140 years to us.

That's right, yet it still maintains low metabolism without any sluggishness.

Not the breakthrough, but it certainly sets our course.

Rathburt, suspend series 52 through 96, and we'll concentrate on the

rest. What is that?

It's a sorec sericidae.

Looks like a small rat.

Smells like a skunk.

They have musk lines in their knees.

These little fellows are our subjects.

They have a birth cycle of 10 to 14 days.

And using them, we can establish traits.

We can trace the progressions through a number of generations over a short

period of time.

Well, how big do they get?

That's a nettle.

See, their muzzle is longer.

Well, maybe you better take him. He doesn't know me.

All he knows is his next meal.

He's just been fed.

He'll be all right for another eight hours.

The shutter blew open.

Bradford, I got it, senor.

Well, if that scare you, it's going to get worse.

The stronger will eat the weaker.

Like cannibals.

Precisely. You see, their intense activity requires a tremendous amount of

energy. To supply, they must eat three times their own weight in food every 24

hours.

All the liver, teeth, horns, boobs. I could use another martini. Do you mind?

And follow me.

Problem two?

Que paso?

Nada. Nothing, senor.

But you will leave on the ship tomorrow.

Well, I think that all depends on the wind and the sea, don't you?

Si. Si, senor. Sea and the wind, senor.

I don't know.

Ah, you may joke.

I feel the point. I see.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

Now, if anybody else is concerned about my sailing tomorrow, why... You see,

they feel the point, too, huh?

I don't like to repeat myself.

Okay, senor.

I mean, I guess that's what they get for shopping at some place called the Shoe

Barn. You know, damn little field mice get into the boxes.

I need to call somebody like the Pied Piper or someone who can get these furry

little bastards out.

Okay.

Um, hello?

Yeah, look, is this Luke with the cat dragged in? Yeah, you know, my name is

Elvira, Mistress of... Yeah, yeah, Mistress of the Dark, yeah.

Oh, thank you.

No, tonight I'm showing the killer Shrews.

No, truth, truth.

Yeah, I know. I didn't know what they were either.

But the reason I'm calling... Yes, I know. Everyone loves the pop -ups. Yeah,

yeah, we'll try to do more of those. But the reason I'm calling is because my

basement is full of mice.

I mean, I can't even put my feet on the floor.

Poison? No way.

I just need someone to come in and relocate them. You know, put them in a

witness protection plan or something.

Uh, what? Hello?

Hello?

Stick around, darling. There's more Movie Macabre right after this.

Welcome back, darling. If you haven't been with us all night, lucky you.

And if you're just dropping in, don't put your luggage on the floor.

The basement is infested with mice.

At least I think they're mice. And they could be killer shrews.

They're certainly not killer shoes.

I mean, these things are giving me the killer screws.

Yeah, I wish I had some killer shrooms.

But then I get hungry and I need some killer stew.

Oh, man, this movie is giving me the killer news.

I know, but I'm not saying that you created them, Jerry.

I am saying that because of your drunken stupidity in leaving the cage door

open, you created the horrible situation that now exists.

Look, Ann, this is a mistake any one of us might have made.

And I'm getting a little sick of being called an irresponsible drunk. Now,

believe me, I am.

Excuse me.

Care for a cigarette?

Thank heavens you arrived today.

You said that before. What's the strain?

That don't make sense.

Please excuse me. But it seems like everything is coming to a head at once.

I want to leave, but I want my father to go with me.

Well, then, why doesn't he?

We've discussed it many times, but he's adamant.

I'm sure Jerry has a lot to do with this decision.

He tried to convince me that the crisis will only last for a few...

Well, this is certainly a cozy little scene.

Might even be called intimate. Boy meets girl. Stop it, dear.

That remark is uncalled for. What I do or have to say does not concern you.

I can't disagree with you more, my dear. I'm concerned with everything you do,

and I intend to keep it that way.

Now, in my book, an engagement isn't a casual thing. In my book, it isn't

either.

I send it out.

old is scared to death of something. That's evident.

When they came at us last night, you knocked me down getting inside the

It's just that I can't stand them. And I've discovered something I can't stand.

All right.

But I advise you not to mention them to anyone.

I'm going to complete these experiments with your father regardless of anything.

Do you understand that?

Nobody is going to take this chance away from me.

Let's get the ship.

Checking the weather. I'll get him.

Captain, time for dinner.

I'll miss as good as a mile, I'll be staying.

You know, if one of those trees crashes through, it might just not... Look, not

any tree on this side of the house will fall away from it, so just relax.

But I think I'd better go back aboard.

I don't think I'm not grateful for your hospitality. I am. I'll see you

tomorrow. Thorn, your ship is safe.

Please, stay here with me.

Why?

You scared or lonesome?

Both.

I'll take a rain check on it.

Thorn! You can't leave.

No one opens that gate after dark.

Well, who's going to stop me? You?

What's this?

No one opens that gate at night.

Now look, I don't ask questions because it's against my principles.

Mine too.

Wouldn't you like to explain that?

All right.

Sit down and I will.

Give me the gun.

Not very becoming anyway.

Do you believe in fairytales?

Well, I'm a little old for that sort of thing, but what do you have in mind?

Well, I'll tell you about one.

A true fairytale. And you're right in the middle of it.

Oh? Have you ever heard of a shrew?

As in taming of the... Or the animal.

Bradford called them sword, sericity, when he showed you one.

Oh, then shrew must be the common name for those cute little animals. Cute?

That's the last word you can use to describe those little monsters.

They're the most horrible animals on the face of the earth.

My father told you they breed within three weeks after birth. Yeah, yeah, I

what your father told me, but what's that got to do with me opening that

There are two or three hundred giant shrews out there.

Monsters weighing between fifty and a hundred pounds.

Fifty to a hundred?

Wait a minute, you must be kidding.

I'm definitely not.

kidding.

That's as big as a full -grown wolf. And what's more, they are beginning to

starve.

No wonder you didn't want me to go out there.

Thanks for saving my skin.

Well, I'm sorry I had to threaten you with a gun, but I didn't know how else

stop you. Oh, it was very effective, but all you had to do was tell me about

them.

Well, I hoped I wouldn't have to, but you changed everything. when you started

to leave.

And I had to stop you some way.

You say there's two or three hundred out there?

Ma 'am.

That's right, Captain Thorne. And if you'd stuck with your rowboat and played

captain instead of trying to play detective, you wouldn't have to worry

how many are out there, would you? That's enough, Jerry.

I decided to leave.

To dissuade him, I started to tell him about the shoes.

Shoes? What shoes?

He might as well know the whole story, half of it.

I guess you're all a little jumpy, Captain.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Six months ago, we managed to isolate the fact...

We saw one of their offspring.

They were multiplying.

We did everything in the world to exterminate them, but no apparent luck.

Then we haven't seen any.

Since daylight neither blinds them and they forage only at night, well, they're

starving.

But the fact that two of them charged Anne and Jerry at the gate last

case that the available food on the island is nearing depleting.

Then what, Doctor?

They will exterminate each other.

It'll take a couple days.

What do we do during that time?

They indoor the wait until it's over.

I thought I'd get some wire that blew down on the transformer.

I'm sorry.

I'll get some lamps.

and we'll give you all the light you need.

I will join you, Dr. Jerry.

Thomas!

Thomas! You get that mouse out of this here house, Thomas, or you're out on

very grave behind!

Oh, hi there. I'm just rehearsing what I'd say if I ever got a cat in here to

take care of these mice.

Stick around, there's more killer shrews right up to this.

Welcome back, darling. I figured if you can't beat them, force them into mind

-numbing puzzles that prove that human beings are superior.

Well, yep, I decided to make a little rat race to occupy my time and try to

these little rat bastards.

Let's get back to more killer shrews.

Felt she was sincere and made sense from her standpoint.

Wanting her father to leave the island with her makes sense?

It'd be much better for the project if I went with her for a few days.

As a matter of fact, I think I'll talk to the doctor about that. That might be

the answer.

And another thing, I don't take much to this Thorne Sherman.

He looks to me like the type that'd try anything.

That left -handed dinner invitation.

That was just to keep me here till after dark, wasn't it?

I wanted you here tonight.

I thought something terrible was going to happen.

Well, you still feel the same way about it?

Not as much. That says you're here. I know it.

I love an open fire, don't you?

Mm -hmm.

The wind has a lonesome sound, doesn't it?

Sure does.

Back in Sweden, we don't have a wind this strong.

Yeah, back in Sweden, we don't have killer shrews.

You're a strange man, Thorne.

I never met anyone like you.

You seem so disinterested in everything.

Aren't you the least bit curious?

Don't you wonder about the unusual things around here?

The guns, the fence, the shattered windows, my accent, anything?

I'll tell you something.

I'm only interested in anything that concerns me, then I do something about

Ah, a typical man.

You're going to sail with me tomorrow, whether you find...

Yeah, the shoes got the bit of bar.

What horse is this, Father?

It's a livestock.

A livestock?

And I thought it was a horse. No.

I put them in the barn myself.

They couldn't get through the wood doors.

They dug through the dirt floor.

ask you something, Doctor.

How could you expose all our lives, yourself included, with those things out

there?

All you had to do was get the coat guard of the Navy to come in here and burn

them out.

Those things got loose.

Any unusual experiment can produce unusual results.

Brilliant! That's the first time this guy's made any sense.

Isolated.

Miles of open water in any direction.

for the government or military.

The world is no danger.

His species does not swim.

And as far as the shrews are concerned, this island is their world.

Very soon, right here on this island, there's going to be a miniature

reproduction of an overpopulated world.

And you'll see the importance of what we're working to avoid.

I'm not concerned about all this theory. What I'm concerned about is our lives.

There'll be ample time to panic when they run out of food and go on a 24

forage. How do you know they haven't already?

That's possible.

Their main diet has been the small animals on the island.

That source could have been depleted 18 or 20 hours ago.

And that's why they went after the livestock.

There's still some food on this island before they reach the crisis.

Where?

No worry about them digging in here.

The floors are tile, but the walls aren't, Doctor. They're adobe.

Our safest bet would be on that boat.

You may be right.

You can reach your boat in daylight.

The screws will gorge themselves on life, Doc.

They'll trick you to letage for several hours.

There's no sense looking at the dark side.

And there's no sense minimizing a serious situation.

It leaves you completely unprepared to cope with it.

Now, we certainly can't make it tonight.

That's out of the question. Maybe tomorrow.

Hi, Evan.

We'll get some sleep tonight.

But we'll have a watch, an hour and a half apiece.

Doctor, you go first, and then Radford.

Mario, Jerry, and then me.

Shutter all the windows.

Make sure they're locked good and tight. Check all these walls.

Come on.

No, I think I'll stay here by the fire. I feel safer.

I couldn't stand it in that room alone.

All right, as you wish.

Let's party and get some sleep.

It is Mario.

You are next to make the patrol, no?

Sure, Mario. Come on in.

I've been waiting for you to finish.

I must have dozed off. You kind of startled me.

Sit down.

Here.

Have a drink. It will help you to relax.

Gracias, señor.

Thinking about Mario?

A drink?

And? A cigarette? And a captain?

You and me.

Imagine an intelligent girl like her going for a common

sea tramp like him.

I know why.

You do too.

In case anything goes wrong, she's looking out for you.

That's why I keep thinking about you and me.

Uh, I got to go, senor. Anything goes wrong...

Okay. Oh, gosh, too bad he doesn't speak English.

Oh, yeah, string.

That ought to keep him out.

Senor, it is Mario.

Mario, come on in.

What is it? There is a big raton in the bodega.

A shrew in the cellar?

Si, I hear him singing down there.

Well, how did he get in?

The store broke out the kitchen window, but I closed it off. He went down there.

Why should he go down there?

The food for the little ratones.

I pull out the frost, they love it.

What did you tell Jerry?

No, senor.

It is your turn next. Here is una luz.

We kill him, no?

Down in the cellar.

Now, we're going down after him.

But I don't want you to let anybody open that door till I tell you to.

You understand?

See, I told him the string was a bad idea.

Open just a crack.

Open.

Hold on to it.

Again? You see anything?

I see where he was.

I do not see where he is.

Cuidado. Si, señor.

I will be careful.

Well, I hope that thing's not loaded.

right away. He couldn't have bled to death.

Might as well let go of it.

Won't do him any good now.

What could have killed him?

Uh, a killer shrew.

I'm not certain.

Till the autopsy.

Hemotoxic syndrome.

I'm afraid so.

You'll know after Vitalik.

Doctor.

That's not the same animal you showed me.

That's a monster.

As I said, they're mutants.

In controlling the size factor, we seem to have crossed some of the other

characteristics. Well, you certainly did a good job of it.

I've known that for some time, Captain.

Stick around, darling. There's more to come as I try to build a better

mousetrap. Or at least, some kind of a mousetrap.

There's more of the killer truths on Elvira's moving the cob, right after

Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock.

Clock struck four, I missed the department store.

Hickory dickory dock, hickory dickory dock, mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck five, why am I alive?

Hickory dickory dock.

So many mice, so little time. Three blind mice. Three blind mice. See how

run. See how they run.

Run, bitches, run!

Extremely high poison content in the crew's saliva.

Now compare it with this.

Careful count isn't necessary.

Any indication of the same poison in Mary's blood will give you the answer.

Yes, you're right.

Brooding about it's not going to do any good.

Now, why don't you try to think of something else?

Tell me, what do you do around here? Are you a scientist?

I'm a zoologist.

Oh, that's the study of animal life, isn't it?

Well, do you specialize?

What are you specializing?

Their diet.

I had a hand in this, too.

And I'm partly to blame.

But this ends it.

If we ever get off this island, I'll never have anything to do with it again.

What will you do?

Live normally.

Like normal women do.

Me see it seem a little dull after the life I've been living.

Rather dull and alive than excited and... I'll take a dull, alive woman

time. Oh, yeah. So much better than dead and exciting.

Autopsy has proved what we suspected.

Several weeks ago, I concocted the most virulent poison I could with the

materials I had at hand.

We put it out as bait.

Mario was killed by poison.

Doctor, I wonder if you thought the system of the Sorex enabled them to

assimilate that poison.

It remained in the salivary glands of their jaws. Isn't that wonderful?

Well, I am sorry. Of course, I always speak from the clinical point of view.

Well, don't you have something to counteract that poison?

Once Maria was bitten, I'm afraid there's nothing anyone could have done.

This indicates that they cannot afford to get even so much as a scratch from

these animals.

They are more poisonous than snakes.

Well, do you think they're all affected?

Best way to find out is let them all... bite you and see which bite you die

after. We might just all get that chance, Jerry.

Yeah, Jerry.

Doctor, I've closed all the doors in the house.

I suggest we do the same thing with this hall and this lab.

It'll cut down the chances of getting in the front of the house.

I think if we keep a close watch on those walls and windows in there, we

make it till daybreak.

The walls are two feet thick. Do you think they have a chance to dig in?

Of course there's a chance.

Anywhere that...

Faster's off. That adobe's as soft as mush where that rain hit it.

It's not a bad idea, Doctor.

But here's another possibility, Doctor.

It's very light out.

It's going to be daylight soon.

We'll take the shrew that killed Mario and throw it over the fence and use it

for bait.

If they show up for it, of course, they'll run for the boats out.

But if they don't, then I'll go down and have Rook lay to with the lighter.

Then I'll return to the bend and the trail and give you the all -clear

Sounds fine, Captain. Good. Then you explain it to the rest.

I will.

Well, the bait's been out for 20 minutes.

Nothing's touched it.

Even the wind has gone down. Isn't that wonderful?

I'm afraid it's not over, my dear. It's just a low.

There'll be a lot more.

He's right.

I'll be back at the bend shortly. Now you watch for my signal.

You can't go low.

I'll go with him. Not you, father. You haven't even fired a gun.

Take rather, Jerry.

Sure, I'll go.

Then you'll be sure of getting a signal.

Don't shoot that gun unless you have to.

We've only got 20 rounds altogether.

I know that as well as you do.

Sherman!

You stay away from her.

You have that gun pointed at me?

Right in the middle of your back.

Look, we've got enough problems out worrying about Ann.

I'm telling you, stay away from her, or when the crews get through with you,

they won't even find a buck.

check line. I gotta find him.

Since last night, you won't find much of him.

Would you shut up? I'm not going back.

You're what?

I'm staying here.

All right. You suit yourself, but if I were you, I'd swim out to that boat.

Can't swim.

Then stay here.

Wait a minute.

You gotta give me a gun.

Give you a gun?

The gun we had on the boat.

They don't leave much, do they?

Sherman, we've got to make a deal first.

What is it?

They've been trailing us on both sides.

Where? I didn't see anything.

What Sherman you got to give me a gun But

if you do don't you run you stay in front of me because I don't

Didn't he have it coming or didn't he?

What happened out there?

Oh, nothing much.

Jerry just tried to kill me twice in the last five minutes.

Rook came ashore last night.

He is dead.

His car was left.

Won't do us any good. It's got no ammo.

I'm deeply sorry, Captain.

I wish you had followed your orders.

Look, Doctor, you casually mention animals.

You didn't explain to us what we were facing out there.

You have every right to feel the way you do.

My mistake was only mine. It was one of judgment.

I didn't know about the hurricane.

I didn't anticipate the effect it would have on the shrews.

I thought...

The house would be safe through the crisis. How could you expose your own

daughter? How could you expose Ann to that?

She was going to leave last week, but the boat didn't come.

I need a drink.

Anybody else care for one?

I could use some coffee.

I'll make some.

Thank you, my dear.

Creamy sugar?

That's all. Are you sure that's all? I'm completely aware of it, darling.

That was a stupid waste of ammunition.

Never want them a clean mess.

I took four of them in there.

Through that kitchen window. That rope must be right.

We've got him.

Bradford.

He's dead.

reaction, right up to the moment of his death.

Jerry, tear down one of those drinks and cover him up.

Sure, sure.

Gregus will cover Ann, and I'll cover him.

You'll cover me, but...

Somewhere else they're digging, too.

Oh, yeah, that'll help.

Come on.

Tell me about the rabbits, George.

That's from Of Mice and Men. It's literature.

Look it up.

Okay, darling, so we're almost at the end of this Mickey Mouse operation, so

don't leave now.

Well,

you've been off getting yourself a snack. I've been sitting here hoping not

become a snack.

You've all heard tales about people who've been eaten alive by mice, right?

You haven't?

Oh, well, I guess you don't listen to NPR.

Oh, well, we're almost done, darling, and then I'm going to try to make a

for it.

I'm getting hungry.

Drums as tanks.

Individual tanks.

Here, I'll show you.

All right. Slow down now, all right?

Slow. All right. You all right? Yeah.

It'll work.

It'll work.

But these drums are too tall for the base.

If the shoes don't push us over...

Is that lucky or what?

But we should be able to duck walk to the beach. Oh, please tell me he didn't

just say duck walk to the beach.

See him, I'm not going.

Look, come down here. That wind will pull you right off that road.

I told you, I'm not going.

I'm staying here.

You've got to get them down here. Come on.

See if you can coach them down here.

Jerry, Jerry, please come down with us.

No, I am. They'll get you if you go out there. Come down here, you fool.

Poor devil, I hope he makes it.

If he can't leave it, he's not responsible for himself.

Yes, she is all right.

She must be used to working in those Swedish films.

I'm about to round out.

Okay, let's swim for it.

Okay.

We are safe, aren't we? I mean, the storm.

Oh, sure.

She rode out the first half all right, and that's always the roughest.

Anyway, riding an anchor, I'll get a chance to learn a little more about that

Swedish accent.

In 24 hours, there'll be one crew left on the island, and he'll be dead of

starvation.

An excellent example of overpopulation.

Well, you know something, Doctor?

What's that?

I'm not going to worry about overpopulation just yet.

Hello, darling.

Well, I hope you enjoyed tonight's flick. I feel like we just... Bye.

I apologize for any awkwardness with all the vermin running around tonight, but

I thought that I'd make the most of a bad situation.

I heard about this rare delicacy called ratatouille and thought that since I

have all the ingredients just running around my basement here, might as well

in. I am all for experiencing rare cuisine.

Huh?

What? What the hell is ratatouille then?

Oh.

Ratatouille. Noun. A vegetable stew of Provence.

Typically consisting of eggplant, zucchini, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and

garlic. Served hot or cold.

Oh, then what kind of delicacy am I eating now?

Oh, not a delicacy? Just a mouth on a stick?

Well, I hate to contribute to the jobless rate among cats, but you've got

grab a good source of protein where you can.

Until next time, darling.

I'm Pleasant Joy.
