Frogs Page #4

We are the ugly rich.

Well, we're entitled

to be ugly, Karen.

God knows we pay enough taxes.

Daddy, did you know the government is forcing

us to put strainers on our paper mill?

It's called antipollution control,

iris.

Oh, what's the difference what it's called?

It costs millions.

And our dividends

will be shot to hell.

Where'd you find Grover's jeep?

Far end of the island.

And still no sign of Grover?

No. Well,

I'm not surprised.

You can't depend

on help these days,

Not unless they've been with

you from the very beginning.

Is it still dead?

Yeah.

That dumb phone company.

Can we buy you a drink

before dinner?

No. No, thanks.

Can I see you alone a minute?

All right.

Is anything wrong?

No.

How much longer, Maybelle?

In a few moments.

I did everything

with him I could,

But we gotta get

that body out of there.

Yeah. Well, thanks for telling

me first. I appreciate it.

No use frightening the others.

Today of all days.

Yeah, I gather tomorrow's

quite a celebration.

This week with my family is the one

permanent thing left in my life.

Fifteen years ago nature

threw me for a loss.

Dumped me in this chair.

We have four birthdays in July:

Mine, Karen's,

Stuart and Michael.

We've celebrated

together for years.

We'll celebrate

until I'm a hundred.

Right here.

Yes, sir. Well,

you have my birthday eve congratulations.

I'm sure it'll be

a great day for everyone.

If I can't reach the village,

I'll have Clint or someone

run me back across the lake.

What do you mean? Stay here.

Stay here till morning.

And what about the body?

I don't believe it.

Look at this.

- Somebody kill it!

- Stand aside.

Charles, take it out.

Well, what's everybody

standing around for?

Let's eat.

Frogs attacking windows,

Snakes in chandeliers.

Those aren't exactly

normal things, Mr. Crockett.

I don't think

there's much to worry about.

I'm sure I can get the state to spray some

pesticides. Yes, sir, I'm sure you can.

You can kill a hell of a

lot of other things too.

Mr. Smith, that is where

you and I part company.

I still believe

man is master of the world.

Does that mean he can't live in

harmony with the rest of it?

You call that horrible

racket out there harmonious?

Mr. Crockett,

I know it sounds strange as hell, but...

what if nature were

trying to get back at us?

- Nonsense.

- Then how do you explain it?

We just sit and wait.

It seems like all I ever do

around here is baby-Sit.

I hope they don't do something that

might annoy him, and they always do.

The family.

They don't like me.

And you, you're out drinking in that

speedboat all day and all night.

Well, I hate it.

It's only a couple
