BIOLOGY TEACHER
Our galaxy is teaming with insect life. We have
identified over two billion species so far.
Human, life, it would seem, is the anomaly.

CARMEN
But we 're intelligent. Human minds have invented
art, mathematics and interstellar travel.

BIOLOGY TEACHER
True, we know of no insect society that has
produced a Shakespeare, an Einstein or a
Cherynkov, but before you let that go to your
head, take the example of the Arachnids, a
highly organized, highly evolved insect society.

She points to an insect evolution chart that starts with a
common ant and ends with a two meter tall ARACHNID WARRIOR.

BIOLOGY TEACHER
They are relatively stupid by human standards. Workers
have an IQ of 12, warriors around 35 , and yet the
Arachnids have colonized planets. Over a million years
of evolution, Nature has provided the Arachnids with the
biological means to hurl their spore into space.

Johnny applies a spreader and jacks the insects abdominal cavity
open with aresounding crack. Bug guts gush out.

JOHNNY
Well, if that's the crop, that must be the gastric
caecal...

CARMEN
Excuse me...!

She heads for the door, hand over her mouth.

10 EXT CIVIC PARK - DAY - JOHNNY AND CARMEN

walk home from school together.

JOHNNY
35% on the math final ! No one could be
that dumb with numbers.

CARMEN
Well, at least you didn't lose your lunch
over a bug. How embarassing.
