send him, a funny farm
or an ant farm?
How could you be
so cruel?
How could you not love me
now that I'm the only
real man in your life?
[Audience screaming]
Just kidding,
bill.
[Dr. flanken]
Electricity
plus atomic energy.
Now he'll grow
at an accelerated...
Or speeded up rate.
[Growling]
Oh! Oh!
[Growling]
[scream]
[Scream]
[Grabow groaning]
Are you all right?
I hope so.
We'll have to have
that bite looked at. Uh-huh.
Good lord, he's
becoming huge!
Who can possibly stop him
the way he -- look out!
[Loud rumbling]
He's breaking through
the roof!
[Screaming]
[Tv]
The American blockade
has intercepted one ship,
marucla, which was boarded
by armed sailors...
From two U.S. destroyers
this morning.
That inspection was
described as tense but
no weapons were found.
Today, an anxious world
holds its breath waiting
for the next confrontation,
waiting for
the next rumor of war.
The presidential press
secretary, Pierre salinger,
has scheduled a statement.
Sherry.
Oh, hello,
um --
gene.
Gene. Yes.
I hope you and your friend
Stan are enjoying the show.
I'll have a hershey bar
and popcorn, please.
Could I talk to you
for a minute?
What about?
About Stan. This
wasn't his fault today.
the coral with you.
I find that hard to believe.
Well, it wasn't
the coral so much.
See, Stan likes you.
He certainly has
He was probably afraid
that you'd think it was
childish to, um --
to be here?
I do.
Yeah, well,
he was gonna go with you.
But then he remembered
he said he'd go to this movie
with me and my little brother.
You see, Stan kind of
calms Dennis down...
When he gets scared.
He's like
an Uncle to him.
To your brother?
Sure. And he knew
Dennis was really
looking forward to it.
And he said:
"I can't do it. I can't
let the little guy down."
That's sweet of him,
We're missing it.
Go away, Dwight.
I'm telling.
That's the kind of guy
Stan is.
He just thought with...
Our dad being out there,
he didn't want Dennis
being alone in here.
And with you living
on the base and
being less advantaged --
oh...
That is moving.
I know.
[Growling]
Hold your fire!
[Growling]
What in creation
do you call that thing?
Bill.
Bill, this is
general ankrum.
Surrender now.
Come down off that building.
[General]
We've got sugar for you.
[Growling]
Men, fire your
d.D.T. Missiles.
[Audience screaming]
[Radio]
...Major cities,
resort areas.
It's all gonna be looking
like the surface of the moon.
People should
be prepared to --
[Garbled]
This is it!
[General]
A direct hit.
It didn't even stun it.
Sherry!
Stan, gene explained
everything to me.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't realize.
[General]
There's only one thing left,
atomic weapons.
"Zero hour checklist."
Fish food!
Quickly!
It's headed for
that movie theater.
It? Don't you understand?
He's not a monster,
he's a shoe salesman!
Would you let that
fit you in a pump?
A real general
wouldn't say that.
Shut up.
[Twist]
[Growling]
[Scream]
Look out behind you.
It came out
of the screen!
Don't worry, Dennis.
It's just some guy
in a suit, okay?
Look out! There,
in the tenth row!
It's in the theater.
How could this happen?
[Man]
Look out!
He looks mad,
doesn't he?
Run for your lives!
Don't let
it get you!
Oh, no! He's got
ahold of someone!
Run! Run!
Jesus, what the hell's
he doin' to that kid?
You're supposed to
scare him, you idiot hick!
[Gasping]
[Cheering]
Hey, come back!
[Man]
Wait! It's leaving.
It's going outside.
Thank God!
Oh, what was it?
See what he's putting back?
The showmanship.
This, to my mind,
is what's been missing!
[Cheering, whistling]
[Carole]
Do you really think these atomic
things will change bill back?
That kid is not laying
a hand on me, Larry.
There are limits.
Okay, okay,
I'll talk to him.
Great stuff.
Stop!
Don't shoot!
Stan?
In here.
What happened?
That guy was crazy!
I don't know, man,
but I scared him away with this.
Look at this.
It's a fallout shelter.
We've got one at home.
See this? It purifies
the air so you don't
breathe in the fallout.
What's this thing for?
[Click]
Nothing.
And this bike?
Generator. To run the
lights and everything.
There's a shower and books
if you get really bored.
There's no phone!
Oh! Right.
Wh--
who? What
are you doing in here?
Get out!
The door is closing!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
It's happening!
This is it!
The bomb's exploding!
Let me out!
Let me in!
We're locked in.
[Rumbling]
Listen.
Was that... it?
Was that
really it?
Uh, I don't know.
[Rumbling]
I can't find him anywhere.
He went out this door
and I was scared and --
okay.
Okay.
I love you.
Bye.
Why is this terrible
thing happening?
I have been over and
over in it my mind and
I can't find an answer.
All night
I lie awake thinking.
Why? Why does
it have to happen?
You're a doctor.
Tell me.
I wish I knew, Carole.
I wish I knew.
Wrote this too,
did ya?
Yeah.
Excuse me a minute.
It's not fair!
It's supposed to be
for me!
Hey, you see that kid
in the ant suit?
The Russians have attacked.
The bombs are falling.
You saw this on tv?
No. It went out.
They must've hit
the tv stations first.
And then everything
started shaking
from the blast waves!
My God.
It's not the Russians.
It's "rumble rama."
What?
That stupid kid I hired,
my stuff up way too high.
Did you hear
any air raid sirens?
No, but --
what about your radio,
your conelrad?
My radio.
My radio is, is --
is in my office.
Well, um --
well, I, uh,
I guess everything is --
wait a minute.
There are two kids in there!
My fallout shelter!
Let 'em out.
I can't.
It's on a time lock.
It won't open for months.
It's not my fault.
Is there food?
Yes, but --
I forgot to set
the air-intake blower.
The which?
The air-intake blower.
It brings the air in.
There's no air
in there?
There won't be soon.
Dandy.
Well, we'll have to pop
this off right here.
Find crowbars and hammers.
Sure.
They guaranteed
it couldn't be opened.
Who?
The people
who sold it to me.
Boy, am I
in the wrong business.
Gene?
Yeah?
What if we're the only ones
that made it into one
Then --
then we'd be the only people
in the whole world.
It's like we're --
like we're what?
Adam and Eve.
I mean, if there are still
gonna be people afterwards --
babies.
Well... yeah.
Then maybe they will be
the ones that'll live here
without blowing it up.
It's our responsibility
to carry on.
That's right.
Are you scared?
Yeah.
Me too.
Mom!
Yes. You okay?
Gene and "mant" went out
the door with... with him!
Uh... hi. Uh,
are you gene's mom?
Yeah.
But how can this be
a free speech issue?
I don't know.
That ant can't hurt you,
so don't be scared.
