Lake Michigan

did you see it? where? below that ripple. it just came up for air. it's there right now. what is it? I dunno, but it was huge. how huge? huge enough that you would be no more than a light snack. ok, I've heard enough. I'm outta here. right behind you.

how's the water today, jeeves? perfect, sir, just as you like it. excellent. think I'll take a dip. shall I fetch your rubber ducky? can't go in the pool without it, now can I? of course not, sir.

hey louie, whatcha doin'? ah nothin'. just hoping these humans throw me a scrap. forget it louie. that ain't gonna happen. no? no. look at 'em. they're all caught up in the sunset thing. yeah. I just don't get what they see in it. me neither. dumb useless species, you ask me. I didn't ask, but I think you nailed it. if they'd throw us a scrap, I could change my mind. what's a mind?

they're comin' in low, sarge. yeah, I see 'em. can't hardly believe it. angels. hundreds of 'em! whatta we do now, sarge? we watch, and feel lucky.

man, when will this fog ever lift? what gives you the idea that this is fog, son? well, I don't know. . . it looks like fog. it's them. make no mistake. they're here. them? it's gonna be a battle of civilizations, count on it. but. . . to the winner goes the spoils. in this case, earth. what are you talking about? you doubt me? just take a walk down the beach. there? you won't come back. at least not in human form. it can't be. stay and watch. it's definitely gonna be messy. but I'm on vacation! yeah. reality sucks, doesn't it? totally.

that's where we gotta go. I don't see it. where is it? it's out there. and we gotta go now. just you and me? well, there ain't nobody else here, is there? yeah, but why us? it looks far. it'll be a snap, you'll see. just don't get too near the edge. what? why not? big fish out there. real big. bite your head off if you let 'em. no way! especially a tasty morsel like yourself. hey, I ain't so tasty, ok? you know it, and I know it. but those monsters out there? they don't know it.

sir, they're getting away! that's what they think. how's that, sir? remember that pesky seagull? the one you chased off the deck? yeah. that was secret agent 33. he's tailing them. that bird is an agent? brilliant, sir! thank you. trained that birdbrain myself.

are you busy, Lord? for you, archangel? of course not. I thought you'd like to maybe visit your favorite lake. oh? and how is it doing these days? well, the humans haven't destroyed it yet. that's a shock. I thought we could go to the beach. hang out. you know. hang out? I'll bring the sand toys. goody. you're on.

be careful with that thing. what do you mean? it took forever to corral it. it's a beast. hey, man. it's petrified wood. it's dead. D.E.A.D. ok, I'm warning you. it'll bite your head off.

you can almost see it. see what, louie? where we're going tomorrow. we're going out there? yeah, us and another guy. yeah? we going fishing? no, we're feeding the fish. what are we feeding them with? the other guy. he's gonna be fish food. interesting choice of occupations. actually, he doesn't have a choice. not a big surprise.

is it the end? not at all. just the beginning. the beginning of what? move over here and I'll show you. mmm. ok.

pardon me, where's the men's room? whaddya mean? there's no men's room on this boat. oh, then we have to go back to shore. no way, bud. we ain't turning around so that you can take a leak. but it's urgent. yeah? well so's this little number. hey, you don't have to point that at me. one more peep outta you. you'll be relieving yourself at the bottom of the lake. I think I can hold it. that's the spirit.

hey, paulie, how do we get out of here? whaddya mean? we just arrived. I know. I got a bad feeling about this place, that's all. how come? can't you just enjoy the sunset like everyone else? you mean, like those 2 over there? who? the 2 guys in blue. as in cops. hey, forget about them. they're on vacation. they're cops. they give me heartburn. you always did worry too much. yeah, well I'm still here to talk about it, ain't I? you make that sound like it's a good thing. hey! don't start! yeah, ok. have another donut. I think I will. nice sunset, isn't it? yeah. nice.

where are all the border guards? I guess they must be on break. well that's not a good reason. no wonder security in this country is falling apart. absolutely. it's appalling. totally. but now we don't have to declare any of this stuff, do we. good thing. I thought I was gonna have to eat it. that would have been entertaining. you'd have been high as a kite for weeks. yeah? what's your point? I guess there isn't one. I guess not.

this is a nice spot. ok, let's rest. did you bring the coffee? no. didn't you? you mean we have no coffee? I need a starbucks. I doubt there's one around here. not as nice a spot as I thought. guess not.

ok, there's the signal. commence the assault. what signal? I don't see any signal. well I see it, and that's all that matters. oh, I get it. this is all about you, right? I'll pretend I didn't hear that, soldier. whatever.

what are doing out here? we're looking for sal, remember? oh, right. why are we looking for him? because he's got the money. how come he's got the money? because he stole it. try to focus, ok? what are we gonna do when we find him? first, we're gonna get our money back. then what? then, sal is gonna experience a whole new meaning of pain. glad I'm not sal. what is your name, anyway? hey, it's louie. try to stay focused, ok? right.

you can see where they established their offensive and defensive positions. you can? yes, and how the landscape affected the military strategy. they clearly went for the high ground. dude. all I see is a beach, and this little stream into the lake. naturally, tactical engineering would require access to the water. it would? what for? to build the biggest most bad-ass sand castle ever. have you heard anything I've been saying? totally. for sure.
