Empire of the Ants Page #5

My god! What happened?

Take it easy.

Holy Jesus.

Hey, we'd better go look for the Lawsons.

Who'll go with me? Larry?

No, I'm not going out there.

No, not me. I'm an old man.

We only came because it was free.

We take these tours all the time.

But nothing ever happened like this before.

It's ok, Harry.

Joe, I'll go with you.

All right.

We'll meet you back at the boat.

Mr. Lawson!

Mr. Lawson!

Joe.

Oh, my god.

Ahh!

Ahh!

Ahh!

Oh, my god.

What the hell are they?

That's my boat.

Dan!

Oh, my god.

Let's pick them up at the beach!

Get up!

Ahh!

Aahh!

We're never gonna get out of here.

Why is this happening?

Larry.

I can't believe this.

God.

They don't like fire. That's for sure.

All we have to do is keep

this damn fire going.

They just couldn't be.

Joe?

Ants.

Why don't we go into the old beach house?

We'll be safe inside there.

Without that fire, those things would

be inside with us in 2 minutes.

Goddammit, why do you shoot

down everything that I say?

You never did like working for

me just because I'm a woman.

They're waiting.

They're out there waiting

until the fire dies.

Can't you hear them?

Where did they come from?

How the hell did they get that size?

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking of a way out.

All we wanted was to enjoy

what was left of our life.

Is that bad?

Hey, how about some candy?

It's good. It'll make you feel better.

Come on.

It's yours if you want it.

Better get some more wood for that fire.

You're not gonna need any wood.

Charlie?

Yeah?

The tent and the workers...

I didn't bring them. How did they get here?

A river north of here about 2 miles.

We've a got boat on that

river, a small boat!

You expect us to walk 2

miles through that jungle?

Oh no, we're gonna stay right

here until help comes!

When the hell is that gonna be, Marilyn?

Look, as soon as they

know that we're missing,

they'll send a search party!

I am not gonna leave dreamland shores!

You can stay here and be

buried on dreamland shores.

That fire goes out,

I'm gonna be someplace else.

Well, do you want to try

for the river or not?

It's unanimous, Joe. We're

all too scared to vote.

No!

No, they'll kill us.!

Larry, why don't you

just wait for them here!

Charlie, we're not leaving!

I'm gonna stay here and

you're gonna stay with me.

We'll go into the beach house.

You're crazy, Marilyn!

We've gotta go!

Marilyn!

Marilyn!

Oh! Aah!

Ahh!

Keep going!

Come on.

Oh, god!

Keep going.

The beach house is full of them!

Dozens of giant ants!

Hurry up.

Come on, hurry up.

There!

I can't keep up!

Let's go this way.

Careful, now. don't stumble.

Don't worry, sweetie,

we'll be safe in there.
