Ready...on...boil.

...widespreed deficiency related diseases

in the inner city.

Elsewere in the news:

Popular support has been swift and loud...

...for the proposed emergency population

control bill.

The bill would mandate...

- Its raining.

- What?

- I thought it was raining.

- God, I wish.

I was dreaming.

I could hear the rain...

on the glass.

And you were laying beside me...

in the dream.

- I like it.

- Really, I think its okay.

Where did you get all the babydolls?

Shades found a whole

box of them in the streets.

Well I provided the crowning touch, eh?

Did you hear about the new population

bill they are trying to put through?

No.

They are trying to stop people from

having kids in the next few years.

Gonna levy fines against people

that have to many.

Take away their ration coupons.

Sterilize people who already have...

- ...high enough doses of radioactivity.

- It will never work.

Its our nature to reproduce.

To live on.

Man has always gone against their nature.

Used to be natural to die

of old age before 30.

What are you saying?

You like the idea?

No, I just...think its stupid and suicidal

and sadistic to have children right now.

Stupid, sadistic and suicidal...

The three Ss.

I guess not. All Im saying, is that

it be nice if you could sell something...

- ...every once in a while, wouldnt it?

- Look, Im doing alright on my own.

- I dont need anything from you.

- I dont know about that.

Goverment takes a pretty big hunk

out of my paycheck every month.

Where do you think your welfare checks

are coming from, eh?

What do you want me to do?

You want me to join your corps?

Think of what our radioactiv kids

will be like then.

I stopped thinking about kids

a long time ago.

You always say that things will change.

Maybe they will.

Oh yeah they will... they will.

They are going to get worse

before they get better.

- Survival of the fittest.

- Youd like that, wouldnt you?

Oh yeah, I like that.

And why not? Im one of the fittest.

Keep asking myself why

I let you in everytime.

Why the f*** do I let you in?

- Great.

- Ill get it.

- No, dont answear it!

- What are you scared of?

- Alvy?

- I got to see you.

Sorry to call you so late,

but its important.

multifacited combat systems.

weaponary and nightsights...

...the MARK-13 has a choice of using six

primary limbs and three auxiliary limbs.

More legs then a f***ing spider.

See these mighty buildings. It all shall

be thrown down and shattered to splinters.

The earth will shake, rattle and roll. The

masses will go hungry, their bellies bloat.

These are the birth pains.

No flesh shall be spared.

Yeah, thats it brother.

You just keep walking away.

- Yeah.

- Hi baby.

- Hello?

- Hello, this is Mo!

again just thinking about you baby.

What you say we try it up the ass, eh?

How about I f*** you with a string

of popcorn up your ass?

Who is this?

Then I pull it out real slow... pop by pop.

You think youd like that?

Think you ready to try the Hershey

Highway, eh? Fill you all the way, eh?

What do you say Jill?

Hurry while stocks last!

The fully armed model storage tubes,

carry an additional chemical weapon.

A cell destroying toxin,

Trifilobim Morphate.

Avaible to you for no extra charge.

Our number smells like applepie.

The drug causes sensory distortion,

followed by death.

Hey, hey, what the f***?

...and even makes the target enemy

enjoy the experience.

To administer the drug, the MARK-13 comes

equipped with a unique needle arrangement.

Alvy!
