The Killer Shrews - Debate on Overpopulation and Survival
Dr. Marlowe Craigis:
In 24 hours there will be one shrew left on the island, and he will be dead of starvation. An excellent example of overpopulation.
Thorne Sherman:
You know something doctor?
Dr. Marlowe Craigis:
What's that?
Thorne Sherman: [kisses Ann]
I'm not going to worry about overpopulation just yet.

Dr. Marlowe Craigis:
Mario was killed by poison.
Dr. Radford Baines: [with enthusiasm; pauses, then remorsefully]

Dr. Marlowe Craigis:
Well, I'm attempting to-to decrease the size by maintaining a low metabolism and result in a longer life-span.
Thorne Sherman:
What reason?
