- Quotes
Susan Costello: Hi, I'm Susan Costello. Oh! Are you alright?
Jay: Yeah, I think so.
Susan Costello: How'd you cut it?
Jay: I don't know, I just reached down to get my clothes.
Susan Costello: Can you show me where?
Jay: [They walk to the changing room] It was right over there.
Susan Costello: Okay.
[She searches through Jay's clothes then gasps]
Susan Costello: It was a carpet tack.
Jay: But how can that just cut...
Susan Costello: I'm so sorry! I'll have maintenance check it out right away. Listen, you were having a fun day. We don't want to spoil it. I want you to take that outfit home.
Jay: You mean for free?
Susan Costello: Yeah, it looks great on you.
Jay: [She laughs] Wow! Thank you!
Susan Costello: Sure.
Jay: Um, you don't think I'm gonna need a shot or anything, do you?
Susan Costello: Well, it's not rusty, but you should probably have your doctor look at it, okay?
Jay: Okay.
Susan Costello: Fine.
Jay: Thanks.
- ConnectionsFeatures The Fly (1958)
The theme of "The Rats" is absolutely unpleasant, but the way the story is approached in this movie is surprisingly entertaining. The chemistry between Mädchen Amick and Vincent Spano contributes to make this film work. I do not know if there is any veracity in the scary statistic of nine rats per dweller in New York, but if it is true, the reality is scarier than this film. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Ratos em Nova Iorque" ("Rats in New York")
