- KHALID MANSEUR SAYS HELLO, OKAY? -

- AND GOODBYE. - I'LL KILL 'EM.

- -

LOOK INTO MY EYES.

YOU SCARED?

- - YOU SHOULD BE.

50 MIL AND THIS COCKROACH HAS TO GET GREEDY. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

I DON'T FUCKING KNOW.

I'M VERY STARVING. YOU HUNGRY?

Male radio host: ...and all major routes into the city

are building normally. We'll have a mostly sunny day

with cloudy periods for the rest of the morning and into the afternoon.

We've been talking about men-- what is it about men who live alone--

with this morning's guest, Dr. Phyllis.

Now what is it about these men and why do women find them irresistible?

Dr. Phyllis: For the most part we're talking about a man

who's strong, who is unto himself and doesn't have a woman

telling him what to do or how to live or even how to dress.

In truth, he may not have a lot of female companionship in his life.

Host: Are you telling us this man is hard up for a date?

Phyllis: A man who functions on his own, that's attractive to a woman.

Host: A lot of our listeners are men

and most of them are driving in this morning.

I bet they'd like to be driving in.

All right, we're talking about men with Dr. Phyllis

and we'll have more after this.

Male host: ...the future and what's in your crystal ball?

Phyllis: The days of the lone alpha male are numbered.

They're eventually conquered and brought to their knees by some lovely lady

- and as for her-- -

UNCLE FREDDY, UNCLE FREDDY!

Boy: HAVE YOU GOT CANDY?

CANDY? OH.

GOD. I FORGOT IT, I'M SORRY.

- EVEN A DOG, HUH? - MM-HMM.

I'LL THINK ABOUT THAT.

HEY KIDS, YOU HEARD YOUR MOM, LET'S GO.

LET'S GET GOING.

- WE FOUND THEM. - YOU FOUND THEM?

HEY, KIDS...
