Frank Pellegrino: Joshua

Food of the Gods II

Joshua

Joshua: How did you come up with this?
Neil Hamilton: It's an accidental hormone concoction. It's like tryin' to make a martini and endin' up with LSD.

Joshua: [answers the telephone] Hello?... Yeah he's here, sort of
[laughs, then whispers to Neil]
Joshua: It's Dr. Travis!
Neil Hamilton: Hello, Kate? Look, if it's about the job, I'm still not interested, I...?
[hesitates and listens, looking concerned]
Neil Hamilton: ... I'll be on the next flight.
[hangs up the phone]
Neil Hamilton: Joshua...
Joshua: [annoyed but jokingly] Yes Neil, I will find someone to cover your lecture. I'll feed your little girlfriend...
[holds up Neil's beloved pet white rat with a smile]
Joshua: ... and I won't ask any questions.
[Joshua strokes the rat while Neil leaves the lab]

Neil Hamilton: [Joshua has just found a disemboweled corpse, and he is leaning over the railing in shock. Neil rushes over to him and notices the sewer with running water] It's a sewer system... could be where the nest is.
Joshua: You're going to need more than just tracking dogs...
Neil Hamilton: [confused] Why?
Joshua: Water...
[coughs violently]
Joshua: dogs that can follow a scent in water...
[continues coughing]
Neil Hamilton: [worried] ... You alright?
[Joshua nods his head, on the verge of crying. The scene changes and Zeke is heard screaming in terror]

Neil Hamilton: [Neil and Alex rush through the tunnels to find Joshua bleeding to death on the ground. Neil kneels down beside him in concern] Josh!
[Joshua moans in pain]
Neil Hamilton: Oh, don't worry... listen up buddy, we're gonna get you to a med center, don't worry about it.
[Neil puts his hand over the rat bite to stop the bleeding]
Joshua: [softly] You son of a bitch... I see you're smoking again... I smell it on your breath...
[both of them laugh sadly]
Joshua: ... give me one.
Neil Hamilton: Hang on, bud.
[with tears running down his face, Neil takes a cigarette from his pocket, lights it and gives it to Joshua]
Joshua: It works...
[Joshua weakly holds up the radio-transmitter device but then bleeds to death. Neil starts crying, in grief over the loss of his best friend]
Alex Reed: [livid and in tears herself, Alex walks up to the police] NOW will you admit that there's a problem?
Lt. Wetzel: [nonchalant] She's right, we gotta do somethin'...
Dean White: Of course we've got to do something... I'll, uh, call some exterminators and Lieutenant, you get together your best men and... find them and kill them, kill them all.
Alex Reed: We have got a plan! And we can...
Dean White: I think that the exterminators can take care of this! I want extra security around the sports complex, the official opening is in two hours, and I see no reason to do anything but. Get on it!
[the Dean walks off, leaving Alex looking disgusted]

Joshua: This is the food of the gods! You realize how valuable this is? Big cows. Big fish. Big pigs. Food for everyone and anyone! We're talkin' the end of world hunger, here.
