Heave.
Hey, what’s going on over here?
We expand or we die.
Heave.
Heave.
On the count of three…you blow this anthill to kingdom come.
And a one–
Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey hey, Jed. Stop that.
All right, do…no, Don’t do that. You blow a hole in your mountain, all you’re gonna hit is a wall.
Step aside, Gigantor. We got us a railroad to build.
We’re blowing a hole in that thing.
Okay, first of all, enough with the Gigantor…giant stuff, okay?
I’m just trying to close up shop.
We’re gonna blow it anyway.
And a three!
Yeah, poof. Wow. What are you doing?
What’s it look like we’re doing?
It’s manifest destiny.
You can’t fight it and neither can l.
Go! More dynamite.
Yeah, use it all.
All right. Okay.
Listen, “Octavus”? You gotta stop that.
It’s Octavius, Mary.
Okay, you know what? Fine. Great.
Here you go. This is what happens.
You cannot do this. I am a Roman general. I… I have rights.
Sorry. And you.
Hey, no! Put me down!
Keep heaving, men.
You can’t stop progress!
We’re gonna have a little talk, okay?
I told you, I don’t like to be manhandled.
No, I will manhandle you, Jedediah.
Now, listen, guys.
What is your problem, huh?
Why can’t you just get along?
Look, we’re men. We fight, okay?
That’s what we do.
It’s kind of how we pass the time.
You’re, like, a giant. A freak, if you will. We can’t expect you to understand that.
You got the whole room to run around in.
You don’t have to be near each other.
What, you mean…?
You’re gonna let us out?
What, and just…just roam free?
Yeah. Yeah, I might, if you promise to behave.
That means no fireballs, no explosions, okay?
You have my word, my liege.
Yeah, no…no… no problemo, Gigantor.
Umm…My name’s Larry, first of all.
Okay, Jed?
So I call you Jed.
I don’t call you Tiny, right?
What’s that supposed to mean?
“Hey, Teeny.” How does that sound?
I…I don’t like it.
It hurts my feelings.
Okay, well, “Gigantor” makes me feel like some sort of freak, so…umm… you know.
I don’t. I just call you Larry.
Don’t be a kiss-ass, okay?
Now look, I’m trusting you guys, all right?
And if you don’t do what I say, you can end up like your little buddies in the Mayan world over there.
Do they look happy?
No.
They look sad.
Because they can’t do what they wanna do.
Now, I’m letting you guys have a little bit of leash here. Don’t choke me with it.
