Shack Out on 101 Page #8

I see no harm in admitting it,

now that we're on our way.

Hey, Slob, have you lost

all your buttons?

No, George, he's got

all four feet on the ground.

Can't you see what's happened?

The apes have taken over.

While we were busy watching

television and filling our freezers,

they've come out

of the jungle and moved in.

And what's worse is, they've

begun to dress like us...

and pretend to think

like us.

We're just where we were

in the beginning-

The animals have

begun to hunt man.

They are all apes,

every last one of them.

But you're so desperate

for security...

that you'll take any promise

that vaguely resembles it.

Oh, I don't blame you for

looking down at the apes,

but you overlook

one important factor-

- Their leaders are not apes.

- Don't look now, but a foreign government...

has just invaded our country,

and this is the beachhead.

What have we ever done to you? Why

do you want to change our lives?

You've got your own place-

Build it up, tear it down.

If you want to eat each other, eat each other

- Just leave us alone.

Your lives are in jeopardy,

and you stand there arguing.

George, get in there

and close the door.

And don't try anything or I'll

blow the Tomato's head off.

Get over to the counter.

Move.

I thought I told you to

get the police. Your arm.

Forget the arm.

Go get the police.

Where? It's two miles

to the nearest phone.

No cars on the road. Take

me an hour to walk there.

- Your arm.

- George, get in here.

Those are the breaks.

Eddie begged me to stay

at a motel with him tonight,

wait till the storm was

over, but I wouldn't listen.

Here I am bleedin' like a stuck

pig, and he's sleepin' like a baby.

What a lousy break.

That's not a lousy break.

That's destiny.

Man makes his own destiny,

doesn't he, Professor?

I'll make a deal with you.

You leave Kotty and George here,

I'll go along and make no trouble.

Don't make any deals

with that garbage pail.

I'd like to accommodate you, Professor,

but unfortunately they know who I am.

They'll have to come

along. Where we goin'?

On a one-way cruise to

Mexican waters. You dumpin' us?

That's exactly what he plans

to do. How do you like that?

I was figuring

on gettin' Old Poncho.

It looks like Old Poncho's gonna get me.

There's one

consolation, George-

Eddie can even

an old score for you.

All he'd have to do

is get ahold of himself,

put his hand on that harpoon

and shoot... someday.

Not that physical coward.

No, your harpoon

would have no use.

That's a man's weapon.

You're crazy.

You think Eddie's chicken, but he's

got more guts than you'll ever have.

That's right, Kotty. Remember

he was tellin' about D-Day?

Omaha Beach was just runnin' in blood and Eddie

waded through all of it, just to get to me.

I wouldn't be here now

if it wasn't for him.

That took guts. Aw, don't

waste your breath, George.

Gregory doesn't understand

your relationship with Eddie.

Where he comes from,

they annihilate their friends.

He doesn't believe That Eddie would die for you

- kill for you, if necessary.

Yes, even kill for you.

Hold it.

They know about us.

They know.

Now!

You got 'im, Eddie.

You got 'im!

You missed Old Poncho,

but you got Old Slob-o.

My first fish,

and it had to be a man.

George,

I'm going to be sick.

So all the time the Professor

was only playing a game.

That's right.

With me, too?

In the beginning, yes.

But you had too much

ammunition for me.
