(rapid heart beat)

- Hi.

You must be our new neighbor.

I'm Thompson Noble.

- Hi.

- And I'm Angelica.

- Cheryl.

- Oh, kids, say hello.

Now, this is Elloise, my eldest,

and that little brat is Brandon.

- Can we get a move on?

- Brandon.

- Nice to meet you all.

When you get back in, come

over and meet Brian, my husband.

So, where are you going?

- Oh, it's a special secret.

A holiday we'll never forget.

Bye.

- Bye.

(chokes)

(mug shatters)

(cries out)

(squishing)

(gasps)

(phone rings)

- [Carrera] Cheryl,

it's Doctor Carrera, Cheryl.

- Doctor Carrera.

I think...

Can you drop your

placenta one month prior to birth.

- No, I don't think

that's possible, you see, um...

- Doctor Carrera, can you come over.

Now.

- I'm on my way.

- Brian, Doctor Carrera.

Can you meet me at

your place right away?

No, no, no, everything's alright.

I'll explain when you get there.

Now, there's nothing to worry about.

(sobs)

(screams)

(screams)

- Cheryl!

(groaning)

(screams)

(gagging)

(wind roars)

- I never would have expected him

to be capable of such a thing.

- Murder weapon's covered

in fingerprints.

Probably his.

You have any other patients in

this court, Doctor?

- Why, yeah.

- You know Mr. Paul Matthews?

- Matthews.

No.

- Over at number nine.

- Why, do you suspect him

of doing this?

- We had a bad accident

here the other day.

We have reason to suspect that

the victim was on his way

to see Paul Matthews.

Doctor.

Do you know of

a viral disease that,

in it's first phase, has

hallucinogenic delusions.

- Well, yes, yes,

there are many of them.

- And in its second phase,

glandular complications.

- Most viruses initially effect

cerebral perception

in one way or another.

Dizziness, vertigo, tunnel vision.

- Was Cheryl Rand taking

any kind of special medication.

- No.

Not to my knowledge.

(sighs)

- It'll show up in the

poor women's autopsy, I guess.

(sirens blare)

(synth music)

(tense music)

(groaning and gagging)

(groans)

(upbeat music)

- [Shaan] Welcome to Vimuville,

I'm Shaan.

- Mr. Noble, my wife.

- Alright!

- Dimitra.

Folks, meet my tireless

assistant, Dimitra.

- Hi.

- Any problems,

she's yours for the asking.

Gotta zap.

I'll meet you back at

reception in an hour,

and I'll give you your daily

fitness programs.

Dig in.

- All the food you see here

is of the same

meganutritional value,

designed to appear to

both adults and children alike.

You know how it is.

Positive deception.

- Now, why hasn't somebody

thought of that before?

(glasses clink)

(giggles)

- Excuse me.

(sighs)

(sneezes)

(breathes heavily)

(sneezes)

- This place sucks, you know.

- You're so perceptive, Bran.

- Ooh, a bit of the PMT, eh, sis?

- F*** off, wiener dick.

- You bet I'm gonna f*** off.

Tonight I'm gonna

sleep under the stars.

- You're such a he man, Brandon.

- At least I don't let mom

tell me what to wear.

- I hope you break your neck.

(fast rock music)

- Ladies and gentlemen,

this one will be

over the f***in' top.

(thuds wetly against the ramp)

(jazzy music)

- Honey.

- Mm?

- Are you sure about Brandon?

- Oh, don't worry.

I saw him smuggle him tin

tin with his luggage.

He's camping outside tonight.

(gurgles)

- Got a real gem for

your Pebbles Court collection.

Now check this out.

- Holy earache.

- And for the grand finale.

(upbeat dance music)

(screams)

- I've stored

the Nobles urine samples.

Um,

can me and Bough

have some more vitties?

So, what happened

to your last supply?

Those V-2s, they're piss weak.

How about some 44s?

- Forget it.

You'll have to wait until your

next scheduled ration.

(groans)

(aggressive music)

- [Computer Voice]

Homesville, Pebbles Court.

Noble family urine analysis.

- [Carrera]

Hello, I'm not here just now.

Make it short, I'll get

back to you as soon as I can.

- Don't hit the roof

when you see this data.

I know we can push ahead

with some further tests on

the Nobles tomorrow.

Their urine looks really good.

(fax rings)

- Yanta-f***ing-bulla.

Your friendly health

farm hostess, hey Sam?

- Get a chopper.

Now.

- Just what the doctor ordered.

- Did you see

Angelica's split ends?

- I'd rather see your split end.

- Bough, this is getting

a little out of hand.

We haven't even had breakfast yet.

- But, I'm not hungry.

Well, yes I am.

- Oh, Bough, stop it.

Stop it.

- Ow.

- I'm going to the bistro to

have some breakfast.

You should take a cold shower.

(sighs)

- [Man on Television]

Mm, baby, oh yeah.

(moaning)

Yeah, baby, baby, baby.

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

(screams)

(laughs)

(giggles)

- So.

Still into drivin' a merc,

are we,

Crackers?

- Don't forget that

your advanced hearing

is the result of my chemical

breakthroughs, partner.

- At least I had

the guts to experiment

with the drugs on myself.

- That is what partnerships

are all about.

- So.

How's it going, Cracker?

Done any good drugs lately?

- You know what I want.

- Suey!

- What

is this.

- Well.

When we parted company,

I made sure I took a little

something from the lab.

I knew you'd give yourmaster

plan a second shot.

You see, without that little additive,

the body cannot control its new powers.

It might even

explode.

Very f***ing messy.

(laughs)

It's all falling apart,

eh, Crackers?

All those people at Vimuville.

You and your megabods!

You f***ing...

(screams unintelligibly)

You were wrong then,

and I'll make sure you're wrong now.

I love it!

I need it!

Yeah!

In the power machine!

All right!

Hold tight!

(screams)

(aggressive music)

(hair dryer blows)

- Oh sh*t.

- Thomps.

You alright?

- [Thomas] It's alright,

nothing to worry about.

(coughs)

(aggressive music)

(moans and groans)

(groans)

(head thunks against cabinet)

- Thomps?

(gurgling)

(groaning)

(screams)

Elloise!

Elloise!

- Shaan.

Quick, mom needs help.

Something's wrong with dad.

- Vimuville,

the best place in

the world for your body.

(cries out)

(screams)

- [Elloise]

Quick, in the car!

Oh my God!

- Kill them!

(gun fires)

- This must be the place.

- Quick, get the doctor.

We've got to see

the doctor immediately.

- I'm sorry, you're

going to have to take...

- No, don't give me that sh*t.

Just get the doctor.

You've got to come up to Vimuville.

Something terrible has happened.

- Vimuville.

What are you doing up

at that old chemical dump?

I haven't been there

since it was closed

by the health commission.

That must've been over 20 years ago.

- The food.

The food, they've all eaten it.

- Yes, madame, I'm listening.

(groans)

(gags)

- Mom.

- Mm.

Mm.

The human body.

At best, a neglected

engine running on cheap fuel.

- The way I see it, Doc,

you're running on empty.

- You would not have the faintest idea

of what your body could do,

if it had the right formula.

But without that fuel,

you are nothing.

(gun fires)

A zero.

- You're finished, Doctor Carerra.

- No, not quite, Detective Phillips.

- Don't even think about it.
