Mousehunt1997

[In the midst of an argument, Lars throws an orange at Ernie, but the orange hits the mouse instead. Ernie sees the unconscious mouse on the table in shock.]

Ernie:
You killed him! [He laughs with joy as Lars walks over.]

Lars:
I didn't even know he was there!

Ernie:
Just think of all the trouble we could have saved ourselves if we just threw fruit at him in the first place!

Lars:
Look! He's still breathing!

Ernie:
Well, kill him, kill him! Find a blunt object! There!

[Lars grabs a small shovel and prepares to finish the mouse]

Lars:
There we go, get the...!

Ernie:
Let him have it. [Lars hesitates] What the hell are you waiting for?!

Lars:
I can't just hit him with a shovel.

Ernie:
Why not?

Lars:
Well, look at him, he's pathetic.

Ernie:
Pathetic? He's Hitler with a tail! This is The Omen with whiskers! Nostradamus didn't see this thing coming!

Lars:
Well, Ernie, he's a living thing.

Ernie:
Not for long! Give me that! [He snatches the shovel from Lars and prepares to kill the mouse, but hesitates] I can't! [he hits himself in the head with the shovel and starts crying] Look at him just lying there! It just doesn't feel very sportsman-like.

[The mouse starts regaining consciousness]

Lars:
We'd better do something quick! I think he's coming to!
