Arachnophobia Page #6

Synopsis: A large spider from the jungles of South America is accidently transported in a crate with a dead body to America where it mates with a local spider. Soon after, the residents of a small California town disappear as the result of spider bites from the deadly spider offspring. It's up to a couple of doctors with the help of an insect exterminator to annihilate these eight legged freaks before they take over the entire town.

- Yeah, that's it.

This here in the centre,

that's the mortuary, right?

- No, that's a house.

- Who the hell lives there?

I do.

The whole time the nest was

in my own goddamn barn!

I doubt that, doc.

Your basic spider'd find your old barn

a tad breezy this time of year.

In that respect, spiders are

a bit like you and me.

I frankly doubt the nest is in the barn.

I frankly know it is.

I was in the barn. I saw a web.

There's a web in the barn.

A web would indicate

an arachnoid presence.

They got a saying,

I believe it's in the Benelux countries...

Just drive, Delbert.

Just drive and get us there, please.

My, you've been busy!

Incredible.

Supper's ready.

Come and get it.

I gotta get my family out.

Destroy whatever's in the barn.

Check. Better uncork my private stock.

- Chris, there may be spiders in the house.

- They're probably... All right, let's go.

Give me a minute to look around out here and

then we go in, nice and easy, all right?

Hel-lo!

Trick or treat.

Gotcha!

Let's see what we got up here.

Oh, my God. They got the professor.

Honey?

- We're in here, Ross.

- Hi, Dad.

I expected you home for dinner.

I got worried, I called the office.

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to call.

Okay, everyb...

Everybody just get up very slowly.

And walk towards the door.

Okay, quick and quiet.

We're gonna need another way out of here.

Upstairs, up into the bathroom.

We can climb out onto the roof.

Watch yourself, Ross.

Come on, Shelley.

Come on.

This doesn't make sense.

They're swarming.

I've never seen them this aggressive.

Hi, you guys, I'm Chris.

Put that under the door, quick!

Get it off me!

- Come on, Shelley.

- One at a time.

Down the trellis, honey.

Get out of there.

Ross, get out of there.

- Where's Ross?

- Right behind me.

Oh, no!

Sh*t!

Mom, spiders!

Shelley, Tommy, come here quick!

- Kids, come on.

- Get 'em away from the house.

Rock 'n' roll.

All right, it's party time.

Take that!

What is it?

Musty smell, moist, dark, no spiders.

There's no spiders.

It's dark, musty. The nest!

Nest. The queen.

Sh*t, I'm in the goddamn nest!

Help!

Chris!

I found the nest!

And I saw the queen!

Sh*t!

Come on.

Therapy.

That's your basic egg sac.

Be right back.

Where is it?

That was the goddamn general!

Help!

Not the Chteau.

Goddamn it, where are you?

Damn it!

The itsy bitsy spider

climbed up the water spout

Down came the rain

and washed the spider out

Come on, come on.

Sh*t!

Nice shot.

Thank God.

Don't mention it.

It's okay. Everything's okay.

- Oh, God, the spider...

- It's okay.

Most of them are dead.

The ones Delbert didn't get are dying.

- Where are the kids?

- The kids are fine. Everybody's okay.

@ I left my heart

@ In San Francisco

@ High on a hill

You know what I'll miss most

about the country?

- What?

- I don't know. That's why I'm asking you.

At least we got out with our lives.

Yes.

And the Margaux.

To office politics, Christmas bonuses,

caffeine, adrenaline.

To things that we know,

to events that we can control.

To...

- Okay, that was a minor tremor.

- I barely felt it.

Probably wouldn't even show up

on that scale.

Richter scale.

Just a cable car going by.

We should check the kids.
