Blood Suckers from Outer Space Page #2

---

- When you're gonna learn

that art is sh*t?

Nobody understands it.

I shoulda never bought you

that lnstamatic camera

when you were six years old.

- Well, I wish you could understand

but obviously you can't.

- So just keep your seat.

I haven't told you what I

wanna tell you yet.

I want you to come to work for me.

- Plowing fields and milking

cows just isn't for me.

I could never express myself

doing those things.

- Express yourself?

I thought that was

something you'd outgrow?

Now son, some day all of

this could be yours.

This house, the land,

the cow.

- What about the parabolic dish?

Are you gonna throw that in too?

- I don't think you understand.

You're either gonna work for me

or you lose your inheritance.

How about that, son?

- Well,

as long as you put it that way.

How long do I have to

make a decision?

- What time is it right now?

- Jeff, why don't you come over

for supper this evening?

- Yeah, okay.

- We need to give the boy time to

make his own decision.

- Okay, son.

I guess your aunt is right.

So we'll see you

around five o'clock

and I know you won't be late.

- Goddamn it!

Sh*t!

- I had a blow out.

- Do you need a ride?

- Yeah, sure.

Where you headed?

- I'm not going anywhere.

- Does that mean you're

going nowhere?

- Is that where you're going?

- Exactly where I'm going

unless I can take control

of my own life.

- Is there some place

you'd like me

to drop you off along the way?

- Hazeldale.

- ls that where you live?

- Yes but it's not my fault,

I promise.

Where you from?

- Dallas.

- What're you doing out here?

- Getting away.

I'm tired of watching my home turn

into another Houston.

It's depressing.

- Sounds to me like you're not

using enough drugs.

- I'm sure I've used enough to

last me a lifetime.

- I could use some right now.

- There's a tank of nitrous in the

back if you'd like some.

- Thanks a lot.

Good sh*t.

- Just what do you want, sir?

- We're from the

United States Army.

We came to see Dr. Pace and

his research team.

- How do I

know you're from

the United States Army, sir?

- We're driving a black four door

Sedan with black tires

and little American flags

flying in the front.

Who else would do that?

Besides, we've got

official papers.

- So what?

Everybody's got official papers!

That don't prove nothing, sir!

- General Sanders of the United

States Army is in this car.

Now let us in.

- General who?

- General Sanders.

He's a very good general.

Now let us in.

- What's the password, sir?

- Does anybody know the password?

- Nobody told me anything

about a password.

Now listen to me, you

useless slug.

I am General Sanders of the

United States Army

and I command you to

open that gate.

- What makes you think

you can command me

to do anything, sir?

You think you're a big

deal just because

you've got on a silly uniform.

Big deal.

I've got on a uniform too,

so get lost, sir.

- How would you like to

have your brains

splattered all over this pavement?

- That's the password.

Carry on, sir.

- Hi, Norman.

- I expect something weird

is about to happen.

I've been having the

weirdest feelings lately,

like something weird is

about to happen

and when I get those

weird feelings,

something weird usually happens.

- Well let us know when it

happens, Norman.

- I'll tell you what.

This world's getting to be a

weird place to live in.

It didn't used to be this weird.

- What do you suppose happened?

- Too many weirdos,

that's the problem.

Weirdos get together and they

have weird babies

and they grow up to be weirdos.

It's an endless cycle.

- Have a good day, Norman.

- Weirdos.

- This place looks like a morgue.

Where is everybody?

- General funding to the center

was cut almost entirely last year.

Now a handful of researches and

some maintenance personnel

have the run of this facility.

- Officially, sir, they

do a little more

than keep the building in order.

- Seems like a waste of

taxpayer's money to me.

Can you imagine the

number of weapons

that could be built with

the amount of money

the government spends

on this place?

- General Sanders, Major Hood.

B.J. Barton, Ralph Rhodes and

Richard Wainscott.

- Where is Dr. Pace?

I'd like to know why I show

up at his request

and he can't bring himself

to make it on time.

- Dr. Pace is tied up and--

- Actually, he's strapped down.

- General Sanders, this is a

complicated matter.

I was hope that this

could be a sort of

preliminary orientation session

for you and your colleagues,

then we could set up a

series of meetings

to get a bit of a handle on

what's going on and what

should be done.

- What the hell are you

talking about?

I understand there is a

serious problem

that threatens the

national security

of the Unites States of America.

- I'm afraid it's not quite

as simple as that.

- Would you just tell me

what you idiots know

about this situation?

- In general terms, General,

several days ago, an energy field

from beyond our atmosphere

descended upon on us and has had

some rather bizarre effects

on some of our local residents.

- What kind of effects?

- Ralph Rhodes is our

molecular structure

and related effects specialist.

I'll let him explain it to you.

Ralph?

Ralph?

- Huh?

- Would you explain the effects?

- Effects?

Oh, yeah.

Well,

we're not really sure about

the molecular makeup

of the energy field or life force

as it is from outer space

and no research as yet

been done on it.

But we do know that it's

colorless, odorless, tasteless

and invisible.

- And also very windy.

- Yes, it manifests itself

in a strong gust of wind.

- That is the most

ridiculous thing

I have ever heard.

- Would you like to hear the rest?

- I think it's obvious General

Sanders has heard enough.

- Wait a minute,

I'm here, I can sit

through the rest.

- This life force is taken into

the bodies of its victims

through the respiratory system

and is almost immediately

assimilated into the blood stream

at which time it

expands tremendously.

- Of course, then, massive

internal hemorrhaging begins

and the victim loses

most of its blood

through the natural orifices.

- That's totally disgusting.

- Oh, and then the body of the

victim is reanimated

by the alien presence.

- And I guess it just goes out and

bites people on the neck

to get more blood.

- That's a good guess, General.

In fact, that's exactly

what happens.

- What do we do now?

Track down these blood suckers

and drive wooden stakes

through their hearts?

- General Sanders,

we're not dealing with some

supernatural beings

from Eastern European folklore

popularized by horror cycles

in American, European and

British cinema.

We're up against a super

intelligent life form

from another world.

- Blood Suckers

from outer space.

- Okay, you scientific smart ass.

What do you propose we do to

destroy this thing

and monsters it creates?

- Destroy, destroy, destroy.
