"This is Angry Bob, the man with
the industrial d*ck!"

"Coming at you loud and clear
on W.A.R. Radio. "

"Rise and shine folks
it's a beautiful day. "

"Just look at that sky,
it's a work of art!"

"Nature never knew colors like that. When
you look at it, be sure to wear your shades!"

"The radiation count is way up and
the heat wave ain't expected to let up either. "

"Weather control tell us it will probably hit

"As for the good news...
There is no f*cking good news!"

"So let's rock with one of our golden oldies... "

New York Max,
that's the place to make it now.

You're talking 9000 tons of steel, 4000 tons of
aluminium. 5-6 million miles of copper wire.

kitchen appliances, typewriters.
audio gear, tons of auto parts!

Works of art, hanging in the galleries
Just hanging there, waiting to be plucked.

Clothing, toupées, bridgework, false teeth,
prosthetic limbs...

You name it, New York has got it all.

No one is going to repopulate The Big Apple,
not with the rat count the way it is.

You know, stuff is just going begging!
Salvage City, Max... You'll love it.

Don't call me Max.

Well, well well. Hard Mo Baxter.
Taking a little vacation?

Is this authorized?

What do you care?
Nothing that comes in here is authorized.

Oh, untrue. I'm primarily legitimate now...

Maybe we should go elsewhere then Alvy?

No, no, wait until I get my glasses!

Are you sure? We can go somewhere...
No, no, just wait...

That Alvy...
He kills me every time.

My back.

Christ!

Where's the little man?

He's indisposed...

You pushing something?

See what his sh*t is.

Let me see.

Where did you find it?

Glass flats, Judas sea,
looking all over.

I give you 30.





I knew you'd see it my way.

Merry Christmas.

What the f*ck was that?!

A zone tripper.

I've seen his type...
The whole zee is full of them.

Who was that?
Someone looking for the bathroom, come on!

I put my boot in his a*s
and sent him on his way.

Why don't he piss in the street,
like everyone else?

Show me!
Where did you get this?!

Out in the zone, what do you think it is?
Probably a maintenance droid.

Stepped on a frag mine I guess.
You think so?

It's not a lot I can do with this.
It's got good visual circuits, infrared...

Unusual micro gear...
I'll give you 30 cs cash in hand.


but I think I will hold on to it.

This is junk,
what are you gonna do with it?

Its Christmas eve Alvy, you should know that.
You used to be an elf, didn't you?

You can't expect me to go back to
my girl empty handed, can you?

You don't know my girl...

How much for the other stuff?



Yep Alvy, you're as high as you'll ever gonna go.

- Can't help it if mother caught a dose in
the big one. - Come on.

You just wait. All those years out in the zone
your kids will make me look like narcissis.

"Hey, hey folks! Rise and shine. "

"I got an update here on the
conflict we all know and love. "

"The death toll from last night's violation
of the Christmas ceasefire is still rising. "

"It currently stands at around 578,
with the counterattack now well underway. "

"I send this message of holiday cheer
to all of you:"

"k*ll, k*ll, k*ll!"

Yo, hey miss Wakowski.
Vernon, the son of a b*tch was at my door again.

- Who? - I don't know.
I didn't see him, he just keeps ringing my bell.

Then how do you know it's the same guy?
Vernon, it is.

I couldn't see anybody
Yes... that's what worries me.

Let me speak to Chief
He's out on his rounds.

Don't worry miss Wakowski,
we'll keep our eyes peeled.

Listen Vernon I... hey!
I've got a delivery coming up this morning.

Be sure you let him up this time.
Will do.

"As planned, the emergency
population control bill... "

"will take effect at midnight,
on the first of the year. "

"Eager citizens are already lining up
at sterilization centers. "

"Which will be opened around the clock
to aid in the transition"

"to what the President terms:
A clean break with procreation. "

"In a related story... "

"The two creators of the population control bill
were found dead yesterday... "

"Ready... on... boil. "

You took a beating on that deal man.

That zone head fell asleep
and you were still jacking up the price.

Well, I just want Jill to be happy.

That's what I like about you, Max.
You're a real romantic.

You're the cabby?

Where you guys going?
Downtown.

You guys like music?
Check these guys out.

Used to be okay down here,
you know that?

Used to be, you could walk
down here any time.

Go out on a Saturday night
with just brass knuckles, nothing else.

Maybe a piece of wood, piece of
pipe, you know what I mean.

Now days you need a g*n all the time.

f*cking bunch of sh*t, what these people
are doing to the f*cking world.

It's the same every time man. The minute
I'm back on earth, I want to be in space again.

Yeah right. Till one of you boosters
blows up under you...

or your heat shield rips off
on the way home.

Hey, don't knock it.
Dying in space is real easy.

One pssst and you're gas... spread
out over a thousand miles of stratosphere.

Jesus man! Think of the view.

No more sitting in a bunker
coughing your guts out.

Waiting for your first cancer cells to show
or kids to be born blind and blue

Because I mean, you have had one trip to many
and come up snake-eyes in a genetic crap game.

Jesus, do you think Jill wants you to go on
wading around up to your arse in...

radioactive iodine for the rest of your life.

Think she liked it better if I ended up
like one of these bums?

Holy sh*t!

What the hell happened here? This
was a respectable building a few months ago.

Some drugged out joyrider drove
a landcruiser through the security gates.

You just can't keep them out.

This place is going to hell.

Christ! They are all over the place.
Somebody ought to help these people...

or clear them out.
They just keep coming back Max.

Nothings gonna keep them out except for
sealing this place up like a bunker.

That's not such a bad idea.

Does she know you're back Max?
I didn't want to wake her.

Do you think she is going to let you stay?
Of course she will.

She sleeps better when I'm around.
Makes her feel more secure.

That's a laugh man!
She couldn't be more secure, then she is now.

She's sealed in tight!
She doesn't need your help.

She doesn't stick her little toe out
if she doesn't need to.

How do you know?

I keep an eye on her.
Good... keep it up.

When I'm not around...
see nothing happens to her.

You've been away a long time man.
What are you going to tell her?

She understands.
She knows I got a job to do.

Jill! It's me, Mo. You home?

Mo?
Are you going to let me in or what?

I changed the code.
She changed the code?

Come on Jill. Its Mo and Shades. I'm back.

Hey, baby.
Hey, Mo.

Caesium levels low today.
I've had warmer hellos.

It's been a while.
Yeah.

How's it going?
Fine.

How are you?
Pretty good.

Got a job customizing these consoles
for these uptowners.

Welfare checks are coming in...
can't complain.

See my new pet? I've been using it for modeling.
Woke up this morning and made a web.

What you feed it?
Sometimes I catch a bug.

Sucks them dry.

I've got something else you'll like.

I've been basing my work more on
organic forms but...

sometimes by the time I'm finished
it's hard to tell.

It's like I'm fighting with the metal and...
so far the metal is winning.

Its... very... powerful.

Thanks Shades.
Jill, I got something for you!

God!

It's horrible... I love it.

What is it?
Maintenance droid I think.

I picked them up out in the zone. Probably
some kind of new design they are testing out.

Thought you could make an ashtray
out of it or something.

Just look at the workmanship, it's so beautiful.
Yeah, it is, isn't it?

You don't look so bad yourself.

Merry Christmas baby.

It's good to see you Mo.

Spread those lips.
That's it... oh yeah.

Oh yeah.
Oh that's it baby.

Take that big d*ck! Yes.
Take it all the way in, that's it.

All the way in.

Take it. Suck him dry.

That's it baby, you got him now.
God, you're beautiful!

Yeah, that's it baby.
Take that big d*ck, take it in.

Yeah... oh yes. Yeah.
Take him baby... squeeze that tube.

Yeah... come on. Yeah.
Take him, suck it dry.

That's it... That's my b*tch!
Yeah... squeeze it!

f*cking b*tch.
God I love you.

God, I love you Jill.
So?

Mo?

Sweet.

in the inner city.

Elsewhere in the news:
Popular support has been swift and loud

for the proposed emergency population
control bill.

The bill would mandate...

It's raining.
What?

I thought it was raining.
God, I wish.

I was dreaming.

I could hear the rain...
on the glass.

And you were laying beside me...
in the dream.

I like it.
Really, I think it's great.

Where did you get all the babydolls?
Shades found a whole box of them in the streets.

Well I provided the crowning touch, eh?

Did you hear about the new population
bill they are trying to put through?

No.

They are trying to stop people from
having kids in the next few years.

Gonna levy fines against people
that have too many.

Take away their ration coupons.
Sterilize people who already have...

high enough doses of radioactivity.
It will never work.

It's our nature to reproduce.
To live on through our children.

Man has always gone against their nature.
Used to be natural to die of old age before 30.

What are you saying?
You like the idea?

No, I just... think it's stupid and suicidal
and sadistic to have children right now.

Stupid, sadistic and suicidal...
The three S's.

That's how I feel.
That's how you feel, eh?

And what is this?
Some kind statement about all that?

No.
Because if it is, I don't get it.

I mean, what's the head supposed to mean anyway?
It doesn't mean anything!

Its... it's not for you.
It's not for anybody.

I guess not. All I'm saying, is that
it be nice if you could sell something

every once in a while, wouldn't it?
Look, I'm doing alright, Mo.

I don't need anything from you.
I don't know about that.

Government takes a pretty big hunk
out of my paycheck every month.

Where do you think your welfare checks
are coming from, eh?

What do you want me to do?
You want me to join your corps?

Think of what our radioactive kids
will be like then.

I stopped thinking about kids
a long time ago.

You're always saying things will change.
Maybe they will.

Oh yeah, they will... they will.

They're going to get worse
before they get better.

Survival of the fittest.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Oh yeah I'd like that.
And why not? I'm one of the fittest.

Keep asking myself why
I let you in every time.

Why the f*ck do I let you in?

Great.
I'll get it.

No, don't answer it!
What are you scared of?

Alvy?!
I got to see you.

Sorry to call you so late,
but it's important.

Jesus Alvy! Talk to me in
the morning.

No, no no! It has to be now!
I'm talking about big bucks! Savvy?

Meet me in the yard in one hour
and bring the MARK-13 with you.

The what?
Oh no... the skull and bones

No way Alvy! Forget it.
Hear me out!

I can't talk on the phone... to many ears.
Meet me in one hour.

These are the birth pains.
No flesh shall be spared.

You just keep walking away.

Yeah.
Hi baby.

Mo?

Mo, where are you?
Hello?

Hello, this is Mo!
Who is this?

I told you baby, this is Mo.
Look, I want to come back.

I'm ready to go again. I'm hard
again just thinking about you baby.

What you say we try it up the a*s, eh?

- How about I f*ck you with a string
of popcorn up your a*s? - Who is this?!

Then I pull it out real slow... pop by pop.
You think you'd like that?

Think you ready to try the Hershey Highway, eh?
Fill you all the way, eh?

What do you say Jill?
f*ck yourself as*h*le!

I have a pain... here!

And I see... their... faces!
They are so small and yellow and black.

I want to squeeze them!

Alright... Shades! Yes!

Shades! Okay... thank god you're home man.
I need your help.

Hi... hi.
Shades, listen to me! This is serious!

Jill is in trouble, you gotta help her.
This is serious man!

It's cool... it's cool... it's cool.

What's wrong with you Shades?
I can feel my heart.

Shades, what's wrong with you?
It feels like an alligator.

Shades, what's wrong with you man?!

You know that a... that tablet
of amino flash that I was saving?

No... no... no. Don't do this Shades.
Not now... not now!

Not tonight... not tonight Shades!
Listen to me.

Shades! Shades! Shades, listen to me!
Shades! Listen to me Shades!

Come back! Come back Shades!

Jesus Christ, you are so
f*cking beautiful. Jesus Christ!

Shades, listen to me. This is serious.
What's that... what was that?

I want you to get out of the apartment. I want
you to get Jill right now, right f*cking now!

I want you to bring her back to your place
and lock the door until I get there.

Are you listening to me?
Just let me get my trousers on, okay?

Shades, listen... I'm counting on you man.
I'm counting on you... okay?

Everything... is under... control.

Hi.

No!

It's okay.
Who are you?

I'm a neighbour.

What do you want?

Lincoln Weinberg Jr.
You can call me Lincoln or Link.

I just wanted to be sure you are alright.

I'm fine!
Look, my boyfriend is asleep in the other room.

Your boyfriend?

So... I think you better go now!
I don't think too much of this boyfriend of yours.

I don't see anything going on between you,
you know... nothing real, nothing permanent.

It's really why I came here.
God, get back!

Listen... I know a lot about you.

I know things about you, that you
probably don't even... admit.

You always been my favorite subject.
Oh Jesus!

Oh, wow! What was that?
There's a droid running crazy in my lounge.

That's okay, we can go to my place.
Why won't this work?

Someone's activated the emergency override,
you can only disengage from the main consol.

How do you know?
I used to be with the surveillance company

that installed all the locks and cameras
in this whole block a few years ago.

That's how we know each other.
You made me a coffee while I was here.

Black... two sugars?
I don't remember.

It's okay. I don't mind.
Now what?

Sounds like something is overloading
the main power frame.

Well, look Mr... Weinberg.
Lincoln... you call me Link, please.

Lincoln. Can you get us out of here?
Where's the main terminal?

It's in the living room, but you can't go in there.
That's okay. It's alright, I know what I'm doing.

Come on, you can trust me.

Keep talking, so I know where you are.

I'm right here.

Hello in there?!

Man, I bet that android is anywhere... Ouch!
Hey?!

Lincoln?!

Lincoln?!
It's okay! I'm alright!

There's nothing in here!

What's his name?
Who's?

Your boyfriends.
Moses.

Moses? Jesus, some name.
He's not around very much, is he?

You ought to get somebody closer to home.

Somebody, kind of like... a neighbour..
Just fix the frickin' consol, okay!

You smoke a lot of dope.
I see you.

Does it get your boyfriend hard or what?
I get people dope sometimes

when they come around to my place
and it gets them hard.

You can stop talking now.

What if I sing? You want me to sing?
I don't really care, just get us out of here.

Okay.

Ooo we all walk the wibberly
wobberly walk...

And we all talk the wibberly
wobberly talk.

Ooo we all wear wibberly
wobberly ties...

And we look at all the pretty girls
with wibberly wobberly eyes.

I made that up.

Look. I'm gonna make two things
very clear to you right now:

One... there is no other way out of here, so
that means that droid is still in here somewhere.

And two...
You just want me to leave.

I just want you to open the door.
Why are you so afraid of me?

I'm not afraid of you.

Why not?

Two... my boyfriend is in the corps.
He just got back from the zone.

He just went out for a pack of cigarettes.
Any second he is going to walk through that door.

And we don't want him to get the wrong idea!
Do we?!

Check! Good thinking.
Okay, this should just about do it.

So we can go?

Er... wait... I'm just gonna...
What?

Your blinds!
What about them?

You closed them! I just want to...

Ooo we all walk the wibberley
wobberly walk...

No I didn't.
And we all talk the wibberly...

No I didn't. Don't!

You don't want to keep these closed. You won't
be able to see Santa Clause coming.

[Chinese?]

Help me!

Check... and mate.
Hey Chief! How'd you do that?

I didn't even see that coming.

Cecilia Momomba.
That's how you beat computers when you play.

And she don't understand sacrifice and
neither do morons. Read!

Go away!

Help me! God!

Infrared. The b*stards using... infrared.

Scream... scream... scream...

Jill!

Jill, you in there?!

Eat that! m*therf*cker!

Why?

I don't know man. She wouldn't...
Get out of the way!

Jill!

Jill!

Jill, open the door!

Open the door Jill!

Jill!

We got him, okay! We got him!

He's dead baby!

He's dead!
I got him!

He's gone!

Put that fire out over there!

Come on man, turn the alarm off!
Come on, get on... come on, move along!

Alright! Chief man, cool down.

Why don't you just take chill pill man,
I'm getting rid of it.

Stop messing around and put that fire out!
What are you doing? Move it! Come on, move it!

Okay! I'm here, I'm here.
I'll take care of you, okay?

Here we go.
I can do it!

Let's just put this on.
Here we go. Here we go.

This is... a serious... f*ck up Max.

Okay. Here we go.

Vernon! Well come here boy!

Who is the stiff?
I don't know.

Never seen him before.

Jeez, it's beautiful.

Hope it didn't hit anybody.

Hey Mo!

The fire is out! You want to call
the cops and get an ambulance?

I already had somebody call.
They should have been here by now!

They are to f*cking late,
it's all over!

Calm down Jill.

Over! It's too late Mo!
You're in shock Jill, you're in shock.

Too late! You f*cking left me!
I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere.

But for how long?
From now on baby, okay?

I'm gonna take care of you.
Everything is gonna be alright.

I don't care about the money.
I'll get something together here.

Maybe... maybe you and I should live in
New York. Just the three of us.

Alright Shades. We'll talk
about it later, okay?

You never had to come back, did you?
All that bullshit about your contract!

You just want to be able to
leave whenever you feel like it.

Na, na, you don't understand Jill.

You don't understand.
Guys, I've got to go.

Hell of a lie wasn't it?
No it wasn't a lie. It was...

They threw me out Jill.

They threw me out.
Doesn't matter... It's all a lie.

You're lying if you think that
thing's gonna k*ll the enemy.

It doesn't care who it kills.

The first useful thing they've ever given us.

What are you talking about Jill?
What are you talking about?

That little b*stard you just blew away.
That's their population control.

Our final solution.
So what?

Are you gonna let them win?
No.

You gonna lay down and die?
I want to live.

Of course you want to live.

f*ck you! f*ck you! f*ck you!

Jill baby.
Help me!

I can't baby! I can't!
Your hanging on a power line.

If I cut you, well both fry!

Help me!

Listen! The ledge is just below you!
You got to jump!

I can't! Help me!
Swing it!

Just swing, swing for the love of Christ.
I can't!

Just swing and drop. It's coming!
Help me!

You got to do it. Jill, its coming.
Swing, for the love of Christ.

Jill!

Piece of sh*t! You can't f*ck with me!
You can't f*ck with Mo!

I'm divinely protected as*h*le!

"You can't f*ck with me. "

"You... stay away from me. "

"You stay away from me. "

"You can k*ll him. Jill, you can k*ll him. "

"You can... you can. "

Let go.

Get out of the way, get out of the way!
Give her some air, move!

Look whose alright. It's alright.
It's okay. Easy Jill.

No, no Jill! Just lay down.
Where is Mo?

"I... already called somebody. "

Just lay back Jill. Just lay back.
Everything is going to be okay.

Jill! Jill!

Jill... Look, be careful.
Just hang on Mo! I'm coming!

"I dreamed it was raining. "

"Jill baby. It has a metal defect.
There's a defect. "

"It's raining? salvation?."

"No! No! Light! Light!"

"Its fight!... Light! Light!
Fight! Fight!"

The flesh shall be spared
but for the elect.

Who then shall see him coming,
the son of man.

And he shall send his angels on a mission,
to gather together his flock.

Are you going somewhere?

I'm going away.

Jill! Come back, come back Jill!

Put the bat down Jill!
Put the bat down!

Oh sweet Jesus! Sweet Jesus!
Get out of the way!

Please Jill!

Let me go! Let me go!
Get out of my way Vernon.

I can't do that Miss Wakowski.
I said, get out of my way, god dammit!

Miss Wakowski, I'm sorry! He's in there!
Look, so is Mo!

Miss Wakowski! What a sh*t!
Vernon, are you okay?

She hit me, god dammit!
Vernon!

Miss Wakowski!

Chief! Chief! Chief!
Let me go! Let me go!

You'll be alright my man.
Chief, you'll be okay man.

Mo?

Mo?

Why couldn't you wait for me?

Mo?

God damn you!

Why don't you come after me,
you f*cking perve junkie?!

You scared?!

Yeah, you can feel me now, m*therf*cker.
Right inside your mind.

Talk to me.

"Hey baby. "

Can't we make a deal?
"A deal? You took a beating on that deal. "

I'm not the enemy. This isn't the zone.

"She knows I got a job to do. "
What Job? What's your mission?

"I'm trying to tell you Jill.
I love you Jill. "

"There is a defect... in the insulation. "

"There's a defect. You can.. you can. "

You can what?

Dammit, I can what Mo?

"I love you. "
I can what?

"To many. "

What is your primary function?
"What is your primary function?"

Are you alive?

"Oh we all talk the wibberly
wobberly talk. "

"And we look at all the pretty girls
with wibberly wobberly eyes. "

"I wanna live. "

b*stard!

f*ck you, I know the answer!

Come on!

Jill!

Jill, jump Jill!

Jump!

Come on.

b*stard!

f*cking sh**t it!
