Piranha - Investigation into Piranha Incident Planned
Reporter:
Where do we go from here, Dr Mengers?
Dr. Mengers:
I'm personally going to head a full-scale investigation into this incident, to discover who was responsible, and to ensure this could never happen again.
Reporter:
As an expert in tropical species, what danger is there in the possibility of the piranha reaching the ocean?
Dr. Mengers:
Oh, none. Most of them will have been destroyed by pollution at the lake. If any did get through, there's no way they could survive the salt water. There's nothing left to fear.

Piranha - Piranha Project and Its Hidden Dangers
Paul Grogan:
You must've known all along they were here.
Col. Waxman:
OK. You and Miss McKeown are the only two civilians who know about this project.
Dr. Mengers:
What the colonel means is that he'd like you to join us. Become one of our team.
Paul Grogan:
It figures. Impossible. Look, you're a full colonel, right? I assume you can read a map. Here. We are here at the dam, OK? Over here you'll see there's a stream that feeds into it. Follow the stream back for an eighth of a mile and you see there's a fork. Take this branch, follow it downstream, and you'll see it empties into the river on the other side of the dam. In other words, the piranha have a way to get around the obstacle.
Maggie McKeown:
Even if there's a chance he's right, don't you think you should do something?
Dr. Mengers:
No. If a bypass exists, piranha haven't the intelligence or the motivation to find it.
Paul Grogan:
But you know Hoak was breeding them for endurance and intelligence and...
Dr. Mengers:
Well, Bob was a dreamer. He, er...
Paul Grogan:
Bob? Dr. Hoak? You knew him?
Dr. Mengers:
Fish genetics is a very small field.
Paul Grogan:
You were friends?
Dr. Mengers:
Let's say we were a great deal more than that.
Paul Grogan:
You're covering up. Is it Waxman? Are you afraid of what the army might do to you if you...
Dr. Mengers:
No, I'm not afraid. I'm a scientist. I'm head of my department. It's just that there are priorities, and...some things are more important than a few lives.
Paul Grogan:
That's not how Dr Hoak felt. Not at the end.
Dr. Menger:
As I said, he was a dreamer.
Col. Waxman:
The situation is under control.
Paul Grogan:
Hold on. What is this? Why won't you listen to me?
Col. Waxman:
Would you excuse us for a moment, please? As far as you're concerned, this project does not exist. The piranha do not exist.
Paul Grogan:
And if I make a squawk?
Maggie McKeown:
Paul...
Col. Waxman:
The interests of national security permit extreme measures.
Paul Grogan:
Oh, come on! The war's over, dammit!
Col. Waxman:
There'll be other wars, Mr Grogan.
