Hamsters - The story (part 1)

- How's that going?
- Don't know yet, there's just one little change in the formula...
- Will kill them all, as usual.
- Yeah, probably. Those were the last five hamsters by the way.
- Well it doesn't matter at this point, does it? Even if we can't improve the formula, what we've got is enough to make us rich...
- Ten million dollars rich... can you imagine it?
- Don't tell me... How long before they're here?
- A couple of hours, three at most.
- So.. black or white?
- Don't you ever have enough? We've been hiding in this goddammed place for almost one year with nothing but piles of canned food and this chessboard!
- Aww same story again... ok, white's yours, I'll take black... go on.
- Well, let me try something different then... ever heard of the Grob?
- Not quite, what is it?
- Watch out, here it comes!


Hamster #1 - Are we dead yet?
Hamster #2 - Don't think so.
Hamster #3 - Feeling rather good actually...
Hamster #4 - Strange, this thing kills in minutes...
Hamster #5 - We've been given something different then.
Hamster #4 - Could be.
Hamster #1 - No doubt, in fact.
Hamster #4 - How can you be so sure?
Hamster #1 - Can't you really see it? Something... special?
Hamster #4 - Oww, no riddles please...
Hamster #3 - Yeah, will you just bring the point home? It's not like we can stay here talking all night...
Hamster #1 - And that's your point. You know, hamsters... we don't talk...


- The house's over there sir, behind the trees.
- You sure they're inside?
- Aye, sir. Both of them.
- Get ready. We go in.


- Remember, you can resign if you wish!
- You're being a bit optimistic methinks, just play on and... what's that?!?
- Looks like the sound of a forced mate to me...
- No jokes... that came from the outside.
- Could it be our friends?
- They should have called by radio first.
- Well it's just some animal, come on...
- Not now, let me take a look out of the window.
(Door is kicked open, windows explode.)
- DON'T MOVE!
- Oh, f*ck...
- Who the...?
- DON'T MOVE! KEEP YOUR HANDS IN SIGHT!
- Yeah sure, see you in hell bud...
- WATCH OUT, HE'S ARMED!
- FIRE!
- NOOO! STOP IT! STOP IT!


- How's the other?
- Dead as well.
- Who's the idiot that fired first?
- They were armed sir.
- Oh dammit... have you searched the house?
- Yes, there's nobody else.
- The lab?
- It's over there.
- Hmmm... not much to see.
- Yeah, there's a bunch of cages in that corner, and one on the table. All empty.
- Ok, leave it to forensics then... Let's go out of here.


Hamster #2 - What do we do now?
Hamster #1 - What have we learned in the past months? Watched hundred of times?
Hamster #2 - Why... not a bad idea after all!
Hamster #1 - Everybody?
Hamster #3 - Yes!
Hamster #5 - Yeah!
Hamster #4 - Yes!
Hamster #1 - Ok... let's go chop some wood then...
