and walk around with that dead ant

carrying that around?

That's to get into the car-pull lane

to pass up that line.

I'm pretty sure.

And we kill them like crazy...

Just any kind of way,

we can kill ants, we kill them...

orange soda, any kind

of liquid will do... just kill 'em...

cause the smaller something is,

the easier it is for to kill it, cause...

we don't see their little expressions

right before we're killing them...

It's true, we'll just kill anything..

Fly gets into the house..

kill it right away! Kill the fly!

What's wrong with us?

What is the matter with us?

We've named them, they're called

HOUSE flies,

that is their name.

They know, where to be...

You don't see a horse fly

trying to get it in there...

they're on a horse sw,

they stay on the horses...

Flies are amazing, they are inside...

They're flying all over the place until

they find a mirror, you noticed that?

They find a bathroom mirror and

they are there for about an hour...

they don't move...

I think, it is cause they think,

they've found another fly.

They're having a conversation

with that fly:

Thank god, I thought I was alone...

You look very familiar.

I am very attracted to you...

You're a good listener..

OK, here is the deal:

I think there is an open window, you

go tell the other flies

we've have found a house, I'll wait

here...

Go, I'm gonna wait here...

Alright, I'll go...

Hey, you wait here...

Don't come with me!

Are you mocking me?

Stay very very still!

There comes that human!

Finally, she's gonna read that

Greenpeace newsletter.

Why is she rolling it up?

I don't like to kill things, I really don't,

I'll try not to kill st, if I can avoid it,

I'll get it out of the house.

People like to kill things,

a spider gets in, whatever, kill it...

I will take a piece of cardboard

and I'll try my best to get it

out of the door, if I can...

anything, that is in the house.

Not anything, let me qualify that...

If it's a burglar, I'm not gonna

take a piece of cardboard...

OUT, OUT,... Sir... Sir... OUT!

If a spider gets in the house,

people wanna kill the spider right away.

Spider doesn't know,

you don't want it in there.

It's not like you posted signs

all over the place: "KEEP OUT SPIDER"

Which to me would be very arrogant

assuming they only speak English...

But our ego tells us, we are the only ones

that have any kind of feeling,

we're the only ones with the relationship,

we're are the only ones with family.

You know, I think that if you kill a spider,

there is a relationship that you are ruining

There is a conversation going on

outside with the other spiders:

Did you hear about Chris?
