The Killer Shrews

"If you have to be isolated for your work you sure picked a lonely little island."

"Why, that's as big as a full-grown wolf!"

"Don't let their head get under! They'll flip us over!"

"Looks like a rat, smells like a skunk - some call them bone-eaters."

"Their available food on ze island is nearing depletion!"

"Any unusual experiment produces unusual results."

"You're a strange man, Thorne. I never met anyone like you. You seem so disinterested in everything. Aren't you the least bit curious? Don't you wonder about the unusual things around here? The guns. The fence. The shattered windows. My accent. Anything?"

"Narrator: Those who hunt by night will tell you that the wildest and most vicious of all animals is the tiny shrew. The shrew feeds only by the dark of the moon. He must eat his own body weight every few hours - or starve. And the shrew devours everything: bones, flesh, marrow... everything. In March, first in Alaska, and then invading steadily southward, there were reports of a new species: the giant, killer shrew."

"'Rook' Griswold: Automatic pilot can't play Dixieland jazz on them banjos like I can!"

"They had to eat 3 times their body weight each day... OR STARVE!"

"Your skin will crawl with fear at their nearness"

"All that was left after...THE KILLER SHREWS!"
