Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda Page #6

---

I'm not, what? Worried?

About betraying my country?

With all the taxes and regulations,

America's declared war on me!

I mean, how can a business innovate

without killing a couple of civilians?

Now, you find me a safe haven,

get me a pile of cash,

and I'll build you an

army of Pteracudas.

And there's plenty

of half crazed despots.

Don't wait around.

This deal's gonna go away.

Hello, Ham.

Who was on the phone?

A guy with very deep pockets.

Oh, don't let me interrupt.

Deep enough for both of us.

I think you forgot this.

Let's go.

Come on, Ham. What are you

gonna do kill me in cold blood?

Yeah, well, it wouldn't

be your first time.

It'd be my first time killing you.

Look, our souls are on a plane.

You can't judge genius

by ordinary standards.

Come on, man, think of your little girl.

I am.

- Look...

- Hey!

No, we can make a deal.

I'll forget everything's

that's happened.

You're out of deals, Symes. Shove off.

How about a little help?

This should help.

You know, a great mind,

terrible thing to waste.

Let's go.

This isn't over, Ham!

What are you doing?

Oh, man.

I don't wanna swim for it.

Oh, God, of all the rotten luck!

Where have you been?

I had to go get this.

What about Symes?

Sunk. These are his notes.

Get cracking.

You wanna give this to

the Army or something.

They're the real expert.

No, I got you.

You know what

I did before I took this job?

I was a research assistant in a lab.

I prepared slides.

I'm not an expert in animal behavior.

I'm a girl whose uncle

owned a dolphin.

Now, Munoz, Rick, Moises

they're all dead.

Maybe they should've listened to you.

Maybe I should've listened to them!

I was so desperate to be a success

and to get my name on a paper!

I took chances with people's lives.

In that way, I'm exactly like Symes.

You wanna have a pity party, huh? Fine.

Go ahead. But it sure as heck

isn't gonnachangeyour past... or mine.

But it just might keep you from doing

something good with your future.

Besides, you are nothing like Symes.

- Symes was a genius.

- Yeah.

Are you ready to find a weakness?

I hope so.

Based on the strength of recent

reporting, Veronica Vegas...

Gotta love the 24 hour news site.

Everyone here at Chanel Three

wishes her a fond farewell...

That's it.

What's it?

Pteracuda's endothermic.

Endo whatic?

Warm blooded. That's why it's so fast.

- So?

- So there's a systematic imbalance

between its metabolic rate

and its digestive structure.

It burns more calories than

it's body can readily digest.

It's hungry.

Yeah, well, we already established that.

No, it's not just hungry, starving.

It's gotta eat constantly

just to stay alive.

That means it can't get too

far from population centers.

And barracuda are

notorious light hunters.

They'll attack people's key, jewelry,

and any bright, shiny object.

With the right lure, we can bring it close

enough to that giant harpoon of yours.

And what about Sharktopus?

Leave that to me.

Let's go.

Well? Did you find something

that'll work as a lure?

How about this?

Where did you find that?

I shot it.

Is that your answer for everything?

Pretty much.

All right.

Ready?

- How's it looking?

- Bling bling.

Let's go faster.

I don't see any sign of it!

You see anything?

I think we should come around

for another pass.

There.

Hold it steady!

Is that close enough?

Lorena!

Suck on this.

Come on, I gotcha!

Did you get him?

We only got about 30 seconds.

Let's go.

Do you think they both died?

At that range? Nothing on Earth

could've survived.

I need a vacation.

Somewhere relaxing.

Hawaii.

Kansas.
