Piranha

Synopsis: Lake Victoria's annual Spring party by 50,000 young revelers is about to turn into a feeding frenzy with prehistoric hunger-pains. With knee-trembler's above the waves and tremors below, released from their dormant sleep, thousands upon thousands of flesh-eating nippers are released into the lake with whetted appetites and razor-sharp teeth. With a motley crew of strangers thrown together to defend these shores, it is now up to them to prevent the largest eat-out in human, and piranha, history.

PIRANHA:

Officer! It was a mistake.

Can't we work something out here?

No! Mistake or no mistake.

And from the smell of your breath!

I suggest you take the ticket.

Maybe get a ride home with your friends.

Oh, I don't know, I was kinda

hoping you might drive me home.

Touching a officer's uniform is consider assault?

Are you aware of that?

C'mon...

You look pretty hot in a tan.

It's not tan...

Hey, you think you can take it easy on us?

You boys take one more step!

You'll be pissing lightning bolts into next week.

Mom...

Jake, you know I do not have a backup.

Yeah I know mom.

Yeah don't worry. I know how

crazy this week is for you.

And...

I'll take care of the nitwits, okay.

Remember, if you do not fulfill your responsiblity...

I have the power to arrest and...

and imprison you.

Mom, I'm not 12 okay.

playing the sheriff card isn't gonna work anymore.

No?

- No.

Like I said, I'll take care of it okay?

Alright.

Better.

Get outta here.

Alright... Well next year I'll try to find another solution.

Alright.

- Alright!

Okay.

Oh! And Jake?

Oh mom! C'mon on!

Really!

It's time for dinner.

Alright, alright... I'll be right there.

I hope I didn't wake the kids.

Oh god! They'll sleep thru anything.

So Maggie said that yesterday was

last time she saw them?

Yeah, just before noon.

She said Matt took the boat out to catch some bass.

She drove around the lake all night looking for him.

Where's the boat?

- Over there.

You feeling like a skinnydip?

Yeah, I think we can make it to the end of the pier.

Meaning what?

I'm too old or I'm too heavy?

I think you're too chickenshit.

By the way, Gordon called last night.

Yeah?

He said the USGS recorded a heavy

seismic activity beneath the lake.

Really?

They're sending in a team of seismologist divers.

Alright!

And he said you will escort them out.

Jesus Christ.

Just been invaded by 20,000 kids...

makes us a little busy at the moment.

You know. That's what I told them.

This doesn't sound too good.

So what time is the divers...

gonna get here?

He said about 10.

Sh*t.

C'mon just a little more.

Can't get it.

Give me your hand!

You think a propeller could have done it?

I doubt it.

Look at the bones, nothing's broken.

It's like something acidic...

or toxic decomposition.

Well if the body's been in the water for weeks.

What would you say if I was thinking about closing the lake?

You know, just until we get an autopsy report.

The autopsy report is gonna take a couple of days.

It'll be easier to drain this lake then to close it.

It's a big financial week for our town.

Too old for this.

We're not lying to mom.

Yeah! We're not lying to mom.

Come on guys...

every year it's the same thing.

I'm stuck here with you guys while...

I miss all spring break fun.

You mean spring break boobies?

What if I give you guys the cash for babysitting?

Sixty dollars and you got a deal.

Sixty! I'm only getting paid forty!

Twenty dollars deception surcharge.

Do not pickup the phone.

Do not answer the door.

And do not leave the house.

Okay? I'm counting on you guys.

Alright?

Hi!

After the dive.

Our presence is requested at the Kokamo's.

By the Arizona State Cheerleading team.

Hi! I'm Sherffi Forester.

Bob Gordon asked me to take you out to the site.

Very good to meet you.
