Prophecy: The Monster Movie (Prophecy)

Hit the release!

Hit the release!

What happened?

Christ, I couldn't find the release!

Christ, I've never seen them do that before.

Whatever they're after must be down in that gully.

If it's down there, must be a dead man.

They don't pull like that for no dead man.

Hey!

Lon, lon, give us a hand.

He's gone.

I didn't hear him hit.

Let's go down after him.

Jim?

Hey, bill!

John, save the left stage booms.

Thank you.

I don't know why you don't just tell him.

Because I know what he'll say.

The world's in such a mess,

it's unfair to bring a child into it.

Oh, crap.

That there are three million unwanted children.

But the fact is, Maggie, you're pregnant,

and it's your body, and it's your choice.

And if what you wanna do in this world

is make a beautiful baby,

then nobody, including a cynical husband,

has the right to stand in your way.

He's not cynical.

Obsessed.

He's dedicated.

Dedicated, obsessed,

call it what you like,

but if you get talked into an abortion you don't want,

vou'll never forgive yourself.

Why don't you get it over with?

Go home and tell him.

I need to pick the right time.

Must speak in a single voice.

They will listen!

We have heard that the Indian must fight

to keep what is his,

and that time has come again.

We will fight to keep our forests!

Hey, can I carry your bag?

Right up there, sir.

Okay.

Hey, take this for me and show me where, will ya?

All right.

J what you got to do

j you got to say what you got

j uh, now, even though you don't have enough j

okay, thanks.

This way, please.

Okay, it's all right.

Gonna be all right.

T showed it to the man.

He say it was chicken pox.

I say to him, there's rats in here.

He said, "this is chicken pox.”

I said to him, ain't no chickens in here.

There's rats in here, and them rats bit my baby.

You know what he said to me?

He said,

"the rats got to have room to live, too."

Does he live in this building, your landlord?

No, sir.

He lives in Georgetown.

He lives with the rich rats up there.

I'm gonna have to put your baby in a hospital,

and I'm gonna be in touch with your landlord.

How about putting my landlord in the hospital?

That's what I'd like to do.

So would I, but let's take care of your baby first, okay?

Rob?

Vic, what are you doing here?

Looking for you.

Will you ride back with me?

Yeah, take him to emergency.

You really look tired.

Oh, yeah?

The hours getting to you?

= it's not the hours.

It's the damn futility.

God.

You know, I'll write a report here that no one will read.

I'll file a lawsuit against a landlord

that'll be settled out of court.

Send that baby to the hospital for a couple of days,

so he can come back here and be eaten by rats again.

Feel like I'm banging my head up against a wall.

I don't think anybody's listening.

You wanna know something?

If I could've planned your side of this conversation,

I couldn't have done it better.

Remember that hearing I asked you to come to this morning?

Sorry, sorry.

= it was the bureau of Indian affairs.

They're listening to the complaints

of a couple of tribes from Maine.

They're about to get squeezed the way

the people in these tenements are.

Like these people are?

Are you crazy, Vic?

I saw the demonstrators this morning.

All right, all right, all right.

Listen to me, listen to me.

This paper company, pithey mills paper company,

bought the timber rights to 100,000 acres

of forest in Maine.

The Indians claim the land is theirs,

and they blockaded access to the forest,

keeping the lumberjacks out.

The supreme court's filed a restraining order

against the blockade.

Everybody's ready to kill each other,

and the whole thing is holding

for an environmental protection report.

What does the environmental protection agency

have to do with a land dispute?

Nobody wants to rule

on the legalities of who owns the land.

So they're trying to break the deadlock

on environmental grounds.

If we file a negative report,

then the lumber company won't have much reason to proceed.

File a positive report,

the Indians will probably have to give way.

Another political football?

If you're looking for a job that's got permanent impact,

this is the one.

I mean, you're gonna set a precedent

that'll be very hard to break.

Vig, it's not my game.

I'm strictly a rat bite and gas leak man.

I can teach you what you need to know.

I can give you the books to take up with you.

I'm in public health.

I'm a doctor.

And you know how to deal with human beings.

The Indians are angry, and so is the lumber company.

If we don't get full cooperation from both of them,

we're gonna have a lot of trouble getting enough information

for a thorough report.

I got all the tree experts I need.

I need someone who can deal with people.

Come on, come on.

It's two weeks of your time.

Take Maggie along.

It'll be good for both of you to get away.

= it's beautiful.

It's so peaceful.

I'd forgotten the world could look like this.

Maybe that's one of our problems.

We can't see the forest for the trees.

It's a joke.

Here, get that.

Going camping?

Well, not exactly.

We're gonna be in a cabin.

We're gonna be outside,

by a river.

Hey, great.

And it's gonna take three days to walk down there.

Sounds hard.

Yeah, but that's the fun.

What is that?

Look!

That's the damnedest thing I've ever seen!

What do you think it's doing?

Beats me.

Mr. verne.

Bethel isely, pitney lumber company.

How do you do?

Have a nice flight?

Indeed.

My wife, Maggie.

Mr. isely.

Welcome to the state of Maine, Mrs. verne.

Hello.

Kelso!

I got a car for ya, like your office wanted.

Somebody to drive it,

so you can ride up to the lake with me.

Fine.

That a ruggieri?

Montagnana.

You know cellos.

Well, I know wood.

That's got a balsam back and a spruce belly

and a maple bridge.

There's three different kinds of trees in there.

Very impressive.

I can't carry a tune in a bucket, though.

Hollis!

Excuse me.

Here you go.

It's the biggest fiddle you ever saw.

Yes, sir.
