Empire of the Ants
FOR IT MAY VERY WELL BE THE NEX DOMINANT LIFE FORM OF OUR PLANET.
SOUND INCREDIBLE? IMPOSSIBLE?
HAVE YOU EVER TAKEN A GOOD, CLOSE LOOK
ONE OF THE 15,000 DIFFEREN SPECIES INHABITING OUR PLANET.
THIS ONE CULTIVATES CROPS
OTHERS HERD APHIDS,
THE BUILDERS OF BRIDGES, ROADS, TUNNELS?
FRIGHTENING, ISN'T IT, THA A CREATURE AS SMALL AS AN AN IS ABLE TO HAVE A FAIR
THEY HAVE A SOPHISTICATED
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM.
SPECIFIC MESSAGES ARE TRANSMITTED
THROUGH THE USE OF A CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE
CALLED PHEROMONES.
IT CAUSES AN OBLIGATORY RESPONSE.
OBLIGATORY.
IT'S A MIND-BENDING SUBSTANCE
THAT FORCES OBEDIENCE.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.
THAT'S BUSINESS BETTER LEFT TO THE ANTS.
Got it?
What took you so long?
I stopped to get some extra liquor.
You should've let me know.
I didn't know I was supposed to be on call.
You're always supposed to be on call.
Sorry, Ms. Fryser.
That's all right, sweetheart.
You're so terrific in the sack
that it almost justifies
the excessive salary
that I have to pay you.
By the way, captain...
Try and give us the smoothest
possible trip, will you?
We don't want any of our
prospective buyers getting seasick.
Yes, ma'am.
Sick people do not buy property.
I'll cut between the waves.
You do that.
I'm sure you remember, by the way,
that I'm paying you damn good money
to rent this boat, captain.
I'm sure that if I forget,
you'll remind me.
Oh, well, it looks like our guests
are finally arriving.
Sure a nice boat, isn't it?
We went on a bigger one
to Mexico that time.
Yeah, but we paid for that trip.
Two-bit cruise down the coast to
look at overpriced swampland.
You always said you wanted
a home on the ocean.
Yeah, I said a lot of things.
You coming?
Yeah, yeah, all right.
You win. We'll go for a boat ride.
Here's a $10. Keep the change.
But, lady, the fare's $9.80.
don't mention it.
What are you doing?
The letter said everything was free.
I'm writing down all our expenses
so we can be reimbursed.
Umm...
Before I board your ship,
may I ask you a question?
Yes, ma'am.
I just want to make certain
that I'm under no obligation
to buy any of your property,
in case I change my mind.
It's not my property, lady.
I just get you there and get you back.
Thank you.
Let's get this circus on the road.
Hi. Are you Ms. Ellis? Yes.
I'm Marilyn Fryser, I'm the
president of Dreamland Shores.
Come and meet some people. This is Mr.
and Mrs. Lawson.
Hello.
And this is Larry Graham.
I think we have everybody on-board now.
Think that'll please the bitch?
Ever see anything that did?
What a rip-off.
She'll bring a boatload of slobs down here
and convince them it's paradise.
It wouldn't be so bad around here
if it was close to something.
A road, a town, anything.
Sure, that's practically next door.
All you do is walk 2 miles to the river
You ought to read the
contract she makes them sign.
The jerks that buy this swampland
can't even sell it for 2 years.
Dreamland shores won't be here in 2 years.
Why don't you try some of
the meatballs over there?
They are really tasty.
Are you ladies having a good time?
Lovely.
Just marvelous, thank you.
It'd be wonderful. Everything is so fresh.
