  • Morgan : [narrating]  My name is Morgan and I play football. We'd worked our butts off tryin' to get it together for the big Sunday game, so the coach told us to knock it off and relax for a few days. One of my teammates, Davis, came up with the idea that we head out to the island. He went ahead to make the arrangements. I talked our PR man Brian into coming along. I felt the day off would do him some good, too. It'll be great to be in the country again and enjoy some of the open spaces Man hasn't screwed up with his technology. My father used to say, "Morgan, one of these days the Earth will get even with Man for messing her up with his garbage. Just let Man continue to pollute the Earth the way he is and nature will rebel. It's gonna be one hell of a rebellion." 'Course, I never took 'im seriously, but I still remember the way he looked at me when he said, "You'll never know when and where it's gonna happen. And once it starts, you'll never know how and when it'll stop." It's funny how my father's prediction comes to mind when I go to the country, like today.

  • Morgan : When I swear out charges with the district attorney, I'll know who to name.

    Jack Bensington : What the hell are you talkin' about?

    Morgan : Second-degree murder, I guess that's what they'll call it. My friend was killed by your wasps yesterday afternoon.

    Jack Bensington : They're not my wasps!

    Morgan : Well if you own the stuff that made them grow, I guess you're liable for whatever they do.

  • Mrs. Skinner : Until Mr. Skinner comes home and says he wants you to have our food, Mr. Bensington, nobody owns nothin' but us. The good Lord give it to us to do as we please.

    Morgan : [to Bensington]  Well, it would appear that you just move back three spaces and lose a turn.

  • Jack Bensington : You know about the food the Skinners have up here?

    Morgan : Yeah, a little.

    Jack Bensington : Well, I can tell you right now if you're entertaining any intention of becoming involved, you're too late. My company controls all rights.

    Morgan : Well then maybe it's not Mr. Skinner I want to see after all, is it?
