Boy, do I miss this.

We just did it yesterday.

Did you forget so soon?

No, of course not.

It's just that, um-

- I know, you miss
it from your wife.

Me?

Well, isn't it true?

I mean, it's obvious to me

that you two haven't had
sex in a long time, Roddy.

We, we haven't had good sex.

- Well that's all right
with me, any time.

What time is it?

Oh, it's early yet.

I have to go.

You don't have to go.

George is in Kenya
sh**ting elephants

and little Brad's
still in school.

- I know, but Sylvia's due
home from the dry cleaner

right about now.

- Well tell her what
ya told her yesterday,

that you've been out jogging.

- Yes, but I also have
some work to catch up on.

- Well, you're home so often,
I forget you have to work.

- Well, that's the
beauty of freelancing.

Way to go Mr. Douglas.

Rinaldi!

Oh, sh*t.

Rinaldi!

Rinaldi!

Are you having fun up there?

- No, Ma, I'm not
having any fun.

- I don't want
you having any fun.

You have been
suspended from school

and you're punished!

- Mom, how much fun could I
possibly have locked in my room?

I hope you're hungry,

'cause you ain't eatin' tonight,

and you know I mean it!

Believe me, Mom, I know.

- You're not
eatin' tonight, Rinaldi!

Did you hear me?

Drop dead.

- What, what
was that you said?

Is that any way to
speak to your mother?

Anybody home?

- Doesn't anybody have the
courtesy to knock anymore?

Sorry.

Just a habit.

- Yeah, well ya better
break out of it soon.

And a call before you
visit would be nice too.

How's Billy?

Fine, he's in school.

- You know, I've been thinking
of having him stay with me

for a while.

Oh, there ya go again.

When do you stop?

- I'm only thinking
of the kid, Lous.

For Christ's sakes, every
time I see you, you're drunk!

How the hell do
you think he feels?

He's happy with me, Clyde.

We don't need you.

Now give me the check
and get out of my house.

- So why weren't you at
the Women's Coalition Club

meeting this afternoon?

- Frankie didn't want me to
go, said it was for d*kes.

Oh.

Well the annual
dinner's coming up soon,

everyone's mom's invited.

Sounds great.

Can I bring Frankie?

Watch this.

Yo, Nathan, think fast!

God!

Get off me, you big spaz!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You guys are assholes.

Is it my problem,

if he doesn't know how
to catch a football?

You okay, Linda?

Yeah, I'm all right.

- You know you really
shouldn't have spoken

to Jeff Nathan like that.

It really wasn't his fault.

Besides, he's cute.

Yeah.

But he's so strange.

Hi, Daddy.

- Hi, how's my little
princess today?

Fine.

Can you help me with
my trigonometry?

- Oh, I'd love to,
honey, but not now.

Daddy's going jogging.

But later.

- You're not going
jogging again, are you?

Why not?

A man's gotta stay in shape.

- Well you were just
out this afternoon.

What about the blueprints?

Mr. Blahvolt wants
'em on his desk

first thing in the morning.

The blueprints, right.

I'll tell ya what, I'll
just make it a quickie.

Hey, Mom.

Can we have some money
for the ice cream man?

- Now you know how your
father feels about junk food.

Oh, come on, Mom.

- Well, I suppose
it'll be all right.

My purse is on top-

We know where it is.

Take out a dollar each.

Okay, thanks, Mom.

So how's Billy?

I don't know.

Lous wouldn't let me see him
for the past couple weeks.

She's gotten worse, Lee,
her drinkin', I mean.

I've gotta get
Billy outta there.

- Isn't there
something you can do?

- By law, nah, but I'm
going out there later on

just to see the little tyke.

Come in.

What can I do for
you, Commissioner?

Just making my rounds.

I wanna make sure
everything is all right

in my organization.

Hello, Officer McCormick.

Commissioner Dixon.

- Drinking while
on duty, huh, McCormick?

No, sir, I'm off duty.

And Dr. Grouty,

I take it you're
not very busy today,

or are you lounging
around on paid time?

- Actually,
I'm just wrapping up.

Would you care to take a look?

That won't be necessary.

Well, I suppose I'll be going.

I'll write in my log that
the town's coroner office

is a good prospect for
the next police beer bash.

- I know I've been in this
town such a short time,

but I don't think I will
ever get used to Dixon.

I know what ya mean.

He was never the same
after that accident.

Do you know how
he lost that arm?

- Yeah, a hunting
accident, wasn't it?

So he says.

What do you mean?

- A bear attacked him
while he was on a hunting trip

with his wife.

He tried to sh**t the bear,

but tripped and shot
his wife instead.

And after that incident,

I went out to
investigate the area.

There was no sign of a bear.

That is strange.

- You think
that's strange?

Before you came along,
there was another coroner,

he disappeared the next day.

Gone without a trace.

What are you getting at?

Maybe nothing.

Just keep this between
you and me, Lee.

- I don't know what I'm gonna
do about my son Rinaldi.

He was suspended from
school again this week.

- What the boy
needs is a father.

Anyone but his real father.

I don't want my son,
Rinaldi, ending up like him,

in a state penitentiary.

But every time I look at the
boy, that's exactly who I see,

his father.

- You worry too much
for the boy, Rita.

I think Booty's right.

I mean, look at my Joyce.

She's never met her father,
and she's doin' just fine.

But it's different for a boy.

Worry more about yourself.

Now tell me,

how's your sex life?

- Well there is
someone in my life.

Who is it?

- Aren't you the
kiss-and-tell type?

- Come on, Rita,
tell us who it is.

I mean, it's nothing serious.

He is a married man.

Oh, all the more intriguing.

Okay, it's Roddy Douglas,

but don't let this get around.

- Oh my goodness,
well, well.

- Well, he
certainly gets around.

What do you mean by that?

- Joyce is a good
friend of his daughter,

and one day after we both
dropped them off at school,

well.

Did you shuffle this deck?

Yes.

Well shuffle it again.

- Hey, Linda, how
ya doin', baby?

Fine.

What can I get for you dolls?

A Frozen Neptune for me.

Me, too.

- Two Frozen Neptunes
coming right up.

So, uh, Joyce, what do ya
say we cruise around a bit

in my truck?

You can come too, Linda.

- Oh, no, thanks, my
mother's fixing dinner.

I gotta go.

You go ahead, Joyce.

- Ah, come on, I'll even
let ya ring my bell.

Save it, Frankie.

Speaking of dinner,

you're coming with me to the
Woman's Club Coalition Dinner,

aren't you?

Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm going.

Come on, get in.

Bye.

See ya later, Linda.

You're in the way!

Not again!

as*h*le!

Ma!

What was it this time?

Why did he do it?

- Jeffrey, he wasn't
making any sense, Jeffrey.

This is getting worse, we
have to get away from here,

away from him.

- We can't, if I did
that, he'd k*ll me.

Don't you understand
how frightened I am.

Oh, Jeffrey, please
don't let him hurt me.

- I won't let him
hurt ya, Ma, I won't!

I won't.

Hi, Mom.

I'm home.

What's for dinner?

What is it?

I don't satisfy you anymore?

Of course you satisfy me.

It's just that...

Would you ever consider
having an open marriage?

Oh my God.

- I realize it's kind of
sudden, but, you know,

well statistically speaking,

I've been thinking about
this for a long time.

Oh my God.

I'm so hungry.

You're what?

Have you heard what I said?

I'm starved!

- There goes
Junior, right on cue.

- I knocked, so I don't
wanna hear a damn word.

Hello, Lous, you home?

Billy!

Don't come near me!

What's the story, Hitchcock?

Well, Commissioner,

looks as though
McCormick lost his mind.

What happened?

Shot Lois.

And the boy?

Oh my God.

I had to sh**t her.

Don't ya see?

She would've eaten me, too.

How is he?

How you doin', Commissioner?

I think he's lost it.

Claims he caught his
wife eatin' his kid.

Poor guy, he was a good cop.

Yeah.

You want us to arrest him now?

- There's nothing
else for us to do.

Go ahead.

It was awful.

My God, what could've?

He was wearin' the
new mitt I gave him.

Come on, Clyde.

Dixon's orders.

It's gonna be all right.

- Well we received both your
blood and smear test back,

and there's no sign of
syphilis or anything else.

You have nothing to
worry about, Mr. Douglas.

Dr. Bass, that is reassuring.

Not that I thought
anything was wrong,

but it doesn't hurt to check.

I know what you mean.

I have myself examined
at least twice a week.

No kidding.

You must, uh, keep
yourself pretty active.

I, uh, I know a few girls.

Say, um,

do they have any friends?

Sure.

You go right over
to this address,

third door on the
left, ask for Lucinda.

You tell 'em Big
Dominick sent ya.

Nice clean girl.

Dr. Bass!

Ugh, good day, sir.

Dr. Bass.

Yes, Miss Cod.

- Um, the man who just
left, Mr. Douglas.

Yes, what about him?

- Well, I was just
examining his smear test,

and well, I saw something that,
that I've never seen before.

What is it?

Well, I'm not exactly sure,

but it looked like some
kind of strange virus.

- Miss Cod, is what you
saw syphilis or gonorrhea?

No, it isn't, but, Doctor-

Then don't bother me.

You know we don't
treat anything else.

Yes, Doctor.

Send in the next patient.

Are you okay?

Yes, yes.

Yes, I'm all right.

- Do you want me
to call the police?

- No, no, he didn't
mean anything.

- Let me take a look
at that.

Well your nose isn't broken.

Hey, oh, what are these bruises?

Oh, nothing, it's nothing.

- Why does your
husband act like this?

Oh, he doesn't mean to.

Things haven't been going
well for him lately.

You wouldn't understand.

- What I don't understand is
how anybody would want to harm

a pretty woman like yourself.

Come on, let me help
ya into the house.

John's not coming
home soon, is he?

Attention all units.

APB out on Officer
Clyde McCormick.

Escaped from lockup after
assaulting a police officer.

Suspect appears dangerous.

Approach with caution.

Clyde, my God, get in quick!

Listen, you just missed
Commissioner Dixon by 15 minutes.

They took the bodies of
your wife and son away

before I even had a
chance to give them

a thorough examination.

Dixon, but why?

- Oh, with
Dixon, who knows?

You already admitted.

- I had
to sh**t her, Lee.

Well, I know, Clyde,

and I know you had nothing
to do with Billy's death.

You couldn't have, because-

- Lee, I walked
into the bedroom,

and she was eating Billy
alive, and she came after me.

I had no choice.

Holy sh*t!

I know this must
sound crazy to you.

Not at all.

What do ya mean?

- Well, before Dixon had
the bodies taken away,

I made a preliminary
examination on both.

And?

Well it all checks out.

I found particles of
Billy's flesh in her mouth,

in between her teeth, and,

oh, Clyde, I'm sorry.

Then you can help me.

Well I don't know,

but I managed to
take a blood sample

and culture from the two.

It's not much, but it's
something to work with.

Mom.

Hi, Mom.

What are you doing?

Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,

Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,

Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,

Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.

Mother!

- I'm in the
kitchen, sweetheart.

Thought you were on a diet.

So did I.

I don't know what's come
over me since this afternoon.

Maybe you're pregnant.

Bite your tongue little girl.

- Well you can
never be too sure.

Believe me, I'm sure.

- Hey, what are you wearing
for the dinner tonight?

Is that tonight?

- Oh, Mother, don't
tell me you forgot.

- Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry,
but I have a date with Bill.

Bill?

Which one's Bill?

- Bill, the plumber,
you remember.

- Yeah, well can't you go
out with him another time?

I mean, everyone's mother's
gonna be there tonight.

And besides, I want
you to meet Frankie.

- Well, if it's that
important to you,

I suppose I could.

Who's Frankie?

Frankie is a dream,

and I think he really likes me,

so I want you to be
your best tonight.

And, Mother, please
don't do anything

that would embarrass me.

- Oh, Joyce, what could I
possibly do to embarrass you?

- Why don't you watch
where you're going?

Hey, what are you
doing around here?

What's the matter?

So, anyway, my mother still
continues to take this abuse

from my dad.

I can't understand it myself.

I almost talked her into
runnin' away with me once.

I came so close.

What happened?

- She decided she couldn't
go through with it.

I've done all I could for her.

Now, if she's not
gonna save herself,

I might as well pull
out and save myself,

because it's not doing me
one bit of good either.

So what's eating you?

Well.

For a start.

I saw my father
kissing another woman.

I mean, he wasn't
just kissing her.

He had his hands all over her.

That's pretty bad.

Not as bad as.

- What?
- When I came home

from school this afternoon,

I saw my mother eating
my baby brother.

No, wait, I'm not kidding.

Jeff, I'm serious.

Jeff, I really did see my
mother eating my baby brother.

I'm not kidding!

Linda, you know,

sometimes when a person
sees something unpleasant,

like your, you know-

- No.
- Terrible, your, your mind.

- Man, I knew I
shouldn't have told you.

Where are you going?

- I don't know, I mean,
if I go to the police,

they won't believe me either.

- Look, I'm running
away tonight.

I have to go home and get
my stuff, and I'm gone.

Why don't you meet me somewhere?

- You're the last person I
would've thought I'd be...

Okay.

What about the
basketball courts?

- The basketball
courts in a half hour.

Rinaldi, come and eat!

I'm not falling for it!

Don't be silly!

I made your favorite dish.

Mashed potatoes!

- What is it, the c*ck
in the mashed potatoes?

I'm not falling for it, Ma!

- Will you get
your a*s down here

before it gets cold?

Careful, it's hot.

- Why are you bein'
so nice to me, Ma?

- Come on, you can sit
in your favorite seat.

- Wow, I
never thought you cared.

I put a lot of milk in,

because I know you
like it extra creamy.

- Maybe it's a
little too creamy.

But it's good, don't get me
wrong, I ain't complainin'.

- Do you know how
they make veal?

- You
made veal too, Ma?

Where is it, in the oven?

- No, I didn't make
any veal tonight.

I just wanna know if you
know where veal comes from?

Calf meat, isn't it?

- Yes, calf meat,
milk-fed, baby cows.

They take the baby, see,
and they put it in this

small, cubicle type.

Who does?

The cattlemen, of course.

Why are you always interrupting?

Do you wanna go to your room?

No.

I'm sorry.

Go ahead.

- The calf is taken
from the mother

and put in a small room,

so small that he can't
move around, see?

So that his muscles
can get real tender.

And they don't feed
him anything but milk,

so that he's really soft
by the time they k*ll him,

and so he's real
delicate to eat.

- I like mine with
Parmesan cheese.

- You like what with
Parmesan cheese?

- Veal, that's what we're
talkin' about, isn't it?

- Um, I want you to have a
glass of milk with your meal.

You should always have a
glass of milk with your meal.

- Okay, I'll have
a glass of milk.

- More, you should
always have more milk.

Have some more.

Okay, if it'll make ya happy,

I'll have another glass of milk.

Why are you looking
at me like that?

You b*tch!

That does it, Ma, this time
I'm really runnin' away.

- The only thing
he needs to make it

in this stinkin', scum-rotten
world is to never grow up.

Jeffrey, come out here, Jeffrey.

Your old man has got
some advice for you, son.

Let him alone!

He's got a lot of
homework to do tonight.

Do you think I care?

Why should I care?

What did you ever do for me?

Huh, what?

b*tch, you f*cked up my life.

- I
f*cked up your life?

Don't talk back to me.

That's right, you b*tch,
you f*cked up my life.

You're the reason why I am
where I am today, b*tch.

That's bullshit.

Don't talk back to me.

- I can
talk back to you anytime.

Is that right?

I'll break your mouth.

Mom, what happened?

Oh my God, Johnny!

This time I ain't comin' back.

I'm buildin' a shack down
by the old railroad track

like Old Man Johnson.

She's talkin' veal.

I say you got any veal?

She says, "No, I
ain't got no veal."

What the hell did
I do to her anyway?

Hey, Rinaldi?

Is that you?

Who the hell is that?

Nathan, is that you?

- Hey, Rinaldi, man, what
happened to your head?

My mother's on the rag again.

Your?

What is goin' on
around here, man?

I don't blame her really.

It's all society's fault.

It's not just your mother.

When Linda came home
from school today,

she says she saw her mother
eating her baby brother,

and just now, look, I'm
on my way to meet her.

I'll explain to ya on the way.

- Jeff, what's with
the giant water rat?

You're pretty cute yourself.

- Look, Linda, I had
to bring him along.

Listen, I believe what
you told me before

about your mother.

Jeff, what happened?

My mother, she ate my father.

That's not all,

Mrs. Viverido tried to
make a meal out of Rinaldi.

That's veal, chump.

Anyway, that's what I
think she was tryin' to do,

but I'm not goin'
back to find out.

I'm running away tonight.

I'm building a shed
down by the railroad.

You two can come along.

I suppose I could
make some room.

Hey, who's that?

Looks like Timmy Nolan.

Timmy, over here!

Yo, Timmy, over here!

My mother, she,

she just ate my brother.

Yeah, our mothers, too.

My mother ate your mothers?

No, my mother ate my father.

- She's never done
anything like this before.

My mother ate my baby brother.

- Yeah, and we're
fed up with it, too.

We're running away.

Do you wanna join us?

- Look, man, nobody's
runnin' away.

Somethin' strange
is happening here.

We just can't run out on it.

- What are we supposed
to do, Nathan?

Sit around here and get
our asses chewed out

by our mothers?

Look, I mean, Jeff's right.

At least we should stick around

and see what it's
all about, right?

- Look, I think
we're all responsible

for our own mother's
actions, man.

We have to stop them before
any more harm is done.

What if we can't?

I mean, my mother never had
any respect for me before.

What makes you think
I can stop her now?

- Look, Rinaldi, man, that's
gonna be your problem.

This is strange.

What's that?

- This culture
from your ex-wife.

What about it?

Well, I'm not really sure.

Something isn't right.

Was she seeing a
doctor for anything

that you know of lately?

No, not that I know of, why?

- Well it's a strange
sort of virus,

nothing I've ever seen before.

Get in the cabinet.

Hold your water.

Hold your water,
hold your water.

Hello, Lee.

- What can I do for
you, Commissioner?

- What do you think
you can do for me?

- I haven't got time
for games, Commissioner,

so why don't you state
your business fast?

I have some work to do.

- Clyde McCormick has escaped
from the police station.

Escaped, but how?

Cut the sh*t, Lee.

Where's Clyde?

How should I know?

You're his friend.

- Oh, he'd be
crazy to come here.

- He just k*lled his
ex-wife and his son.

I'd call that crazy.

- Oh, I made a strange
discovery this evening

while examining routine culture
tests on Mrs. McCormick.

I thought I told you not.

What sort of strange discovery?

- Well, I'm not sure, uh,
but I'm looking at it now.

There, uh, care to take a look?

- No, I, uh,
flunked Bio in high school.

- Well, in any case, I'm,
uh, I'm having it checked out

by the Board of Health
as soon as possible.

That won't be necessary.

Why not?

- I mean, sure, go
ahead, have it looked at.

You can't ever be
too careful, right?

- Right, that's
what I always say.

Hmm, yeah.

Meanwhile, there's a
maniac on the loose.

We're talking about
a dangerous man here.

If Clyde shows up, don't
hesitate to call me.

Right.

He's gone.

Yeah, and so are your files.

That was impressive.

Without them, we
have no evidence.

You leave that to me.

But Clyde, it's too dangerous.

I have nothing else to lose.

- Hey, all right,
but be careful.

Meanwhile, I'll pay
Dr. Bass a visit.

Since I extracted the virus

from you ex-wife's
vaginal pathway,

maybe he'll know
something about it.

A virus you say?

Totally alien to me.

I brought along a sample.

I think you should take a look.

- Well, Dr. Grouty,
I'm a very busy man.

Leave the sample here,

I'll look at it first
thing in the morning.

- Dr. Bass, I think
you should consider

looking at it sooner.

I'm sure it's nothing, Grouty.

I'll look at it first
thing in the morning.

And in the future,

I think you should stick
to dissecting cadavers,

and leave diseases for the
Board of Health to worry about,

huh?

Dr. Grouty.

Yes.

- I'm nurse, um,
Felicia Cod, and, uh,

I couldn't help overhearing
your conversation with,

with, um, Dr. Bass.

This sample was it,

was it like a strange virus?

Yes.

- But, but I made the same
discovery, just the other day,

while testing a
patient's blood sample.

Did you tell Dr. Bass?

- When I tried to
tell the good doctor,

he reacted pretty much the
same way he just did with you.

- Do you remember
the name of this patient?

Yes.

Roddy Douglas.

Oh, thank, thank you, Felicia.

- I don't know what
this is all about,

but I get off, um,
in a half an hour,

so, well, I'd just
do anything to help.

- I'll need all
the help I can get.

- You know, Biff, I
finally shot my dog.

Really, was he mad?

- Well,
he wasn't too happy.

Crazy white man.

Yeah.

- My mother's around
here someplace.

Would you look at that, Ethel?

Isn't that Joyce
Shepard's mother?

Where are their manners?

I'm not at all surprised.

I heard she's a floozy.

- Why are they looking
at us like that, Ethel?

Oh, there she is.

Wait til you meet her.

You'd think in the future

they would show
some good breeding.

Well they're coming this way,

and I don't like the
look in their eyes.

Oh, Mother!

Oh my God!

Holy sh*t!

Mother!

Mother?

Joyce.

Hey, that's your mother?

This is a bad dream,

a very, very bad dream.

- Hey, dream or not, I'm
gettin' the hell outta here.

Oh, Mother, how could you?

Come, Joyce.

Give your mother
a great big hug.

Shh!

Right behind us!

- sh*t, what the f*ck,
come on, this way!

Oh my God.

Are they out there?

Shh!

I think it's clear.

Are you sure?

I don't know!

Well check, damn it!

My God, Joyce?

Oh my God.

Joyce?

Rinaldi, you son of a, you
scared the sh*t out of me, Joyce!

Get off, you're ruinin'
this week's pay.

- Look, something
f*cked up is happening.

- Oh, no sh*t, this chick's
got a cannibal for a mother.

And her mother's friends,
man-eaters, all of 'em.

- Don't talk about
my mother that way.

- Sorry, babe, but you
saw it for yourself.

What is happening?

- Don't be surprised if
I don't call you anymore.

- Listen, everybody's
mother is after our meat.

We gotta get outta here.

Come on.

Come on, move your a*s!

- Look, I don't know if I
can go through with this.

- Don't worry, Timmy, just
do exactly as we planned.

- All right, let me see
if I got this straight.

I call out to my mother, and
say, Mommy, come and get me.

And when my mother comes out.

- Linda and me will
be by the doorway.

Now when she comes toward you,

I'm gonna hit her over the
head with this baseball bat.

Yeah, but not too hard.

She's still my mother, you know?

Nah, I won't hit her too hard,

just enough to knock her out.

- And then we tie this
chain around her, right?

Yeah, but not too tight.

No, I know, not too tight.

- Then we go and do the
same to your mothers?

Right.

You bet.

All right, I think I'm ready.

Mom.

Louder.

Mommy, oh, Mommy!

Timmy, is that you?

Yeah, Mom, it's me.

Where have you been, Timmy?

You had Mommy all worried.

Come inside, Timmy.

No, Mom.

Come inside, Timmy.

Your brother has no
one to play with.

Mom.

Look out, Mom!

Ah, you stinking,

edible, little children.

- What's the matter
with you, man?

You could've had us k*lled!

- Schwartz,
Officer Hitchcock here.

What's going on at that
high school over there?

- They
called into the station

couple of minutes ago.

Said the place is full of
cannibals or somethin',

I don't know.

Cantaloupes?

- What's the
matter with you, cantaloupes?

Cannibals!

Cannibals,

what the hell are you
talking about, cannibals?

They're cannibals,

cannibals at the high school.

The kids eatin' the
teachers, the teachers,

I don't know what
the hell it is.

- Cannibals,
what do you mean

they're people eatin' other
people at the high school?

- What
did you think I mean,

they're playin' chess?

Yeah, they're eatin' teachers.

- Schwartz, what've
you been drinkin', Schwartz?

This way.

- What's
goin' on, Rinaldi?

Tell me.

- Don't
worry about it now.

Let's just get out of here.

- What's
happening with my mother?

- I don't, it's
not just your mother, Joyce.

It's my mom, Jeff Nathan's,
and Timmy Nolan's old lady,

and Linda's mom, too.

Mrs. Douglas?

But why, I mean, how?

I don't know.

All I know is we've
got to stop them.

- I have to
go to the bathroom.

What?

I gotta take a leak, real bad.

Really, Frankie.

- Couldn't it wait
until we're safe?

- Look, there's a
bathroom right up here.

I'll be back in one minute.

- For once in my life I
try to do something nice,

like save a couple lives,
but no, you have to.

- Hey, thanks for
your permission, man.

Stupid as*h*le.

Oh, great, just great.

Let's split.

What about Frankie?

He's a big boy.

Made it to the bathroom
on his own, right?

- Well I can't just
leave without him.

He's my date, it
wouldn't be right.

- Look, you're not
leavin' without him.

You're just leaving, and it's
not because he isn't with you,

it's because he couldn't hold
his piss for a couple minutes,

so we could've gotten
the heck outta here.

Let's get outta here.

What about Frankie?

I thought he was your date.

Frankie who?

We'll be eaten alive.

Oh, sure, sure, eaten alive.

You know, you girls crack me up.

You pretend to be
standing by your man,

but when it comes to leaving
with the man you came in with

and being eaten alive.

Hey, what's all the commotion?

Run!

Whoa!

- How nice of you to
join us for dinner.

- Pleased to meet
you, Mrs. Shepard.

My name is Frank Lemmonjello.

I'm sure Joyce has told
you so much about me.

Whoa!
- Well, come on!

sh*t!

Ah-ha, ah-ha!

See ya!

f*cking cannibals!

You know, my mother told
me never to deck a lady,

but she didn't say
sh*t about a cannibal.

Come on, this way.

Help me!

Help!

Help me, please,
help me!

Do something, Rinaldi.

Help me!

I can't.

Hmm.

What?

- Along with
bacteria, uric acid,

to destroy the body's
structural defects.

Note the increase in
precipitate acetate.

This isn't exactly my field.

- Well, Lee, it seems that this
virus is inactive in males,

but, but horribly active in
females who've had children.

- So, does that mean it's
sexually transmitted?

Not a doubt.

Hey, are you all right?

Fine, no luck, but we're okay.

How 'bout you?

I never made it to my mom's.

We were trapped in the school.

Rinaldi saved my life.

Oh, Joyce.

Oh, Linda.

Oh, brother.

- Look, we have to pull
ourselves together.

There must be
something we can do.

What was that?

It's the butcher!

Officer McCormick?

Calm down, I'm innocent.

You kids don't realize
what's going on here.

Yeah, we do.

- Yeah, we should
go to the police.

- You can't,
they're in on it.

It's along story.

Go to Dr. Grouty, he
will explain everything.

I don't know.

- Look, I'm
going on to the school.

If you go to Dr. Grouty,

I want you to give
him this message.

- Thought I heard some
kids talkin' out here.

All right, I know who each
and every one of you are.

Hey, who's the big kid?

Run!

All right, freeze, McCormick!

Hey, you kids, stop, stop, stop!

Kids.

Kids, I know what they're up to,

hah, sex, drugs, rock-and-roll.

Hmm, just like me
when I was a kid.

Boy, I hate 'em.

What are we gonna do?

- There's only one
thing left for us to do.

We have to destroy our mothers.

k*ll your mother?

- They are not our
mothers anymore, Joyce.

Let's face it.

They've become monsters.

- Look, I don't want to
see anymore bloodshed.

I've made up my mind.

It's what we should all do.

I agree with Timmy.

Remember what we said earlier?

We are all responsible for
our own mother's actions.

Right?

It just doesn't look like

there's anything
left for us to do.

Look, there is an alternative.

We can go to Dr. Grouty.

No, thanks.

- McCormick said he
had some answers.

- I don't want to
hear anything he's got to say.

Why not?

- I just don't like the
way adults handle things,

that's all.

I mean, they're to blame
for this whole mess

in the first place.

All right, I agree with you,

but I don't think we should
make any drastic decision

when there's still some hope.

Look, if they, our
mother's were fully liable

for what they did,

I could agree with
Timmy, but they're not.

McCormick said they're
suffering from a disease.

Now, if that's the case,
there could be a cure, man.

Don't you see that?

There's still hope for them.

What if there isn't a cure?

I mean, what hospital
would actually take them?

No, I love my mother,

but I don't like
seeing her like this.

She's suffering.

They're all suffering.

We have to k*ll them.

We have to put them
out of their misery.

Timmy!

Timmy, wait!

Forget it.

The kid's got his head set.

He's gone.

What's it gonna be then?

I'll get it.

Oh, Lee.

Who is it, Felicia?

What can I do for you?

- Officer McCormick
said you could help us.

Clyde, where is he?

He was shot,

Officer Hitchcock.

I told him not to go.

Sorry, Lee.

God, did he say anything?

He told us to come to you.

And he had a message.

Well, tell me.

- I don't know what
he meant by it,

but he said Dixon's
wife had the virus.

Dixon's wife!

That b*stard!

I wanna know why, Dixon.

- Well, Dr. Grouty,
oh, what a surprise.

Why?

I don't know what you mean.

- There is an
epidemic out there.

Mothers are eating
their children!

Oh my God.

You knew it all along.

You could've prevented it
from the start, couldn't you?

When it happened to your wife!

- I couldn't
have stopped it.

- And then when it
happened to Clyde,

one of your own, one
of your finest men,

again you turned away from it,

and you tried to use
me to cover up for you!

I had to, Lee.

How could I have prevented it?

It was inevitable.

What do ya mean?

- I committed adultery
against my wife.

Everybody knows Mrs. McCormick
was guilty of infidelity,

that's why Clyde divorced
her, don't ya see?

What are you getting at?

- Thou shalt not
commit adultery.

It is written in the Bible.

One of the 10 Commandments
that has been overlooked

and thought little
of, of in society.

But now God has drawn
the line, no more!

Commissioner Dixon?

What is it?

- You wanted me to keep
you posted on McCormick.

Yes?

He's been found, sir.

Officer Hitchcock just called.

- Well that's fine,
have him brought in.

There's, uh, some things I-

No can do, sir.

He's been shot.

Dead.

Self-defense.

Oh, I see.

Thank you, Officer.

I'm sorry, Lee.

- I am going to the
papers tomorrow,

and I am telling
them everything.

Hello, Hitchcock?

Hey, Commissioner,

you're gonna be
real proud of me.

I know about McCormick.

Listen, Grouty's on
his way to his office.

I want you to take care of him,

like you did the other coroner.

- Right,
you can rely on me, sir.

Hey, hey, what are you doin'?

Let go, let go!

No!

Let me go!

Oh God!

Oh, Lee!

What is it, Felicia?

Look!

What is it?

The cells, they're responding.

Let me see.

This could be it.

This could be the cure.

Are you sure?

- There's only
one way to find out.

- I'm giving you each
a loaded syringe.

I want you to come
with me and Felicia.

We're gonna track
down your mothers,

stick it to them.

- I'm telling you, he
was torn to pieces.

Poor Hitchcock
didn't have a chance.

- Couldn't have been
McCormick's doin', man,

'cause he's already dead.

That's the truth.

Gentlemen.

Officer McCormick did
not go out of his mind

when he shot his wife.

Mrs. McCormick was
indeed a cannibal.

What?

- Okay, guys, quiet
down now, okay?

You all saw Officer Hitchcock.

Even as I speak these
women cannibals,

these beasts are
terrorizing our streets.

I am authorizing a
manhunt for them.

Don't even try to
bring them in alive.

In fact, I want you
to sh**t to k*ll.

Scared?

Oh, why do you say that?

You're trembling.

I'm cold.

Nighty night.

Princess!

Hello!

Does Mommy know you're out here?

You know it's way
past your curfew.

Who, who's your new friend?

What the hell do you care?

Princess!

Linda!

What are you doing?

Don't get any ideas.

Thanks for savin' my life.

Yeah, so what?

So what?

Everybody always said
you were a rotten kid,

but now I know different.

Don't be fooled, kid.

I am rotten.

Who says I'm rotten anyway?

Oh, dear.

What is it?

- I don't remember if
I unplugged the iron

before I left the house.

Oh, I hate when that happens.

Don't you hate that?

- Yes, I hate
when that happens.

- I can't
stand when that happens.

- Well what
are you going to do?

About what?

The iron, silly.

- Suppose I'd better take
care of it, shouldn't I?

- Yes, you wouldn't want
the house to burn down.

No.

Let's eat first.

- Yes, we wouldn't
want to starve either.

This is car number one.

Car number five,

what's up Commissioner?

- Patrolling the spot
where Hitchcock was found.

There's no sign of him.

How are you doing?

Negative.

Just keep your eyes open,

and let me know if
you see something.

Over and out.

- Look, there's my mom
with Rinaldi's mother.

What do we do?

- You're gonna have
to preoccupy Mrs. V.,

so I can get my mom alone.

Right.

Yes.

Look, I'm sick of you
picking at my food.

- Well, you never
said anything before.

But I'm telling you now.

Stop it or leave.

- Well, don't expect me at
your house for coffee tomorrow.

- Hey, look, mister, this
ain't what it looks like.

You must be Timmy.

Hey, Timmy.

- Timmy, are you all right?
- Where have you been?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm
all right, you guys.

Hey, the Doc came
through for us.

I guess I was
wrong about before.

But, Doc, how long before
this stuff takes effect?

What was that?

g*n shots.

Came from over there.

Quick, get in.

This is car number one,

what the hell is
happening over there?

Commissioner,

we confronted a few of
these cannibal mothers.

They tried to
attack Biff and me.

We fired at them,
but they got away.

- You fools, I told
you not to do anything

before you let me know.

- You said
we could sh**t to k*ll.

- Never mind,
where are they now?

- We believe
they're headed into town.

Oh God.

All right, stay where you are.

I'll be right over there.

Isn't that pretty?

I got that last week for

$2 more than it is now.

Oh, look at that.

I saw that on Booty
Barnett's dining room table.

Isn't it tacky?

There you are, you mothers.

Go back to hell
where you came from!

Let go of me!

No, no, get, get, get.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

- You have reached
the emergency number 9-1-1.

We're not here to take
your call right now,

but if you leave
your name and number,

we'll get back to
you right away.

No!

Somebody help me, please!

Help me!

Get away!

No more, I said!

- What do you kids
think you're doing?

What are you waiting for?

sh**t them!

- You're gonna have
to sh**t us first.

Well sh**t them, too!

Lee, do something!

- These kids won't
get out of the way

until everybody hears
the truth, Dixon.

Get them off!

- Tell us the truth, and the
kids will get out of the way.

- I don't know what
you're talking about.

- Why don't you start
with the cover up?

All right.

I made up the story
about the bear.

It was my wife who
bit my arm off.

I had to sh**t her.

She was goin', she
was going to eat me.

Get them off!

I thought, oh my God,
that the nightmare ended,

but now it's out of control.

- What happened to
the old coroner?

How much you know?

- Enough to put you
away for a long time,

but I want you put away longer.

You b*stard.

Stop them!

Tell us about the coroner,

or I'll let them eat you.

Hitchcock!

He took care of him for me.

Please get them
away from me now.

I think we've heard enough.

- I didn't know it
was gonna happen.

I, I, I didn't know.

Please get them
away from me now.

Look!

We did it.

My baby.

Jeffrey?

Mom, I want you to meet Linda.

Oh, Jeffrey.

Sorry, Dixon.

Yeah, yeah.

Timmy?

Please don't be afraid of me.

I'm not afraid of you, Mom.

- Rinaldi, what is the
meaning of all this?

- What's the
meaning of all this?

If you knew what all
the sh*t I went through

to save your a*s,

and now you're asking me what's?

Ma, I love you.

- Anything you say can and
will be used against you

in a court of all.

If you don't have an attorney,

an attorney will be
appointed for you.

Personally, I don't
think even Jeffrey Ben

is gonna be able to help you
out of this one, Captain.

Tell me, Felicia.

How was it that you were able
to find the cure so fast?

- Well, Lee, we ran a lot
of tests this evening.

Yes, we did.

- There's one thing
we almost overlooked.

Penicillin.

Penicillin?

How simple.

Then the problem's solved.

Nope, not exactly.

You see, penicillin is also
used to treat venereal diseases,

and yet there are thousands
of cases every year.

Doctors still can't
keep it under control.

- Well, Miss Felicia
Cod, that only means

that we're gonna have
to work twice as hard.

Doesn't it?

You bet.

Maybe it's better this way.

An open marriage, that's
what I've always wanted.

I mean, we're not living
in the Dark Ages, right?

Let too many bourgeois
things stand in our way,

that's where the problem lies.

We should learn how to break out

of this so-called
standard of morality.

I mean, if it feels
good, let it ride, right?

I'm just so tired of it all.

- We interrupt
this hour of music

for a special news bulletin.

Three new cases of
cannibalism have been reported

throughout the United States.

Though no reason has been given

to the cause of this
terrible phenomenon,

experts insist that all
cannibals are female

and are apparently mothers.
