The Food of the Gods Page #2

Synopsis: Morgan and his friends are on a hunting trip on a remote Canadian island when they are attacked by a swarm of giant wasps. Looking for help, Morgan stumbles across a barn inhabited by an enormous killer chicken. After doing some exploring, they discover the entire island is crawling with animals that have somehow grown to giant size. The most dangerous of all of these, however, are the rats, who are mobilizing to do battle with the human intruders.

to go out there for?

The ride.

Well, I'd like to

go along with you,

but I'm splitting for

Chicago tonight, remember?

Come on, Brian, will you?

Hey, baby, if I don't set up

that promotion in Chicago,

you jocks ain't gonna have too many

fans watching you play football.

Come on, you know darn well

you don't have to be there

for at least two days.

Well, all right.

If the truth were known,

I'm really not all that ecstatic

about going out there

with you, Morgan, you know.

Oh, Tom, come on.

Please hurry.

Tom, get it going.

Oh!

Oh, please stop.

Please.

Please, please stop!

Why didn't you stop?

What for?

The girl was pregnant.

So?

So she wanted something, Jack.

Maybe they were in trouble.

lt can wait.

We'll pick them up on the way back

You don't care about anybody

but yourself, do you?

Is that what you think of me?

I think you're

the most selfish man I know.

So why do you work for me?

Because jobs for

female bacteriologists

are just not that

easy to find, Jack.

So who told you to be one?

You're a bastard,

did you know that?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Oh, Tom,

I don't know what we're gonna do.

.Just stay calm

Don't worry about

a thing, sweetheart.

Who put this goddamn gate here?

Hey, what's that?

Oh, my God!

What do you suppose killed them?

Well, whatever it was, it did

a good job on the barn doors.

I'm really impressed, Jack

. How about you?

Well, I don't know. You can't

tell much when they're dead.

How do we know some clown

didn't make this thing

out of plaster of Paris and

a handful of ostrich feathers?

Let's see if we can

find Ma and Pa Kettle.

I don't see anybody.

Mr. Skinner!

Hello!

Anybody around?

He said he'd be here.

Well, maybe he's out back, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, I'm sorry, miss.

I thought you was...

Well, I don't know what...

My heads all mixed up.

It was them coming in.

Mr. Skinner said they would.

What happened to your arm?

It was the big worms, miss,

crawling horrible things.

And then the rats came.

Rats?

In the barn, awful giant rats.

Well, we're looking for

Mr. Skinner.

What do you want him for?

Well, we were supposed

to meet him out here today.

Mr. Skinner didn't

come home last night.

Maybe he stayed

over in the city.

Well, that doesn't matter. You can

show us whatever you have out here.

But Mr. Skinner never stays

away overnight. Never.

Are you trying to tell me I've

wasted my time coming out here?

Did you make a money deal with him?

No, not exactly.

Then, I'm afraid I can't

show you our secret.

It wouldn't be right.

Look, I didn't travel all the way

out here to this goddamn hole

to see some dead

chicken carcasses.

Now, do you have something
