Gremlins Scene 8 Summary

  • Billy brings a box of mogwai to school to show his science teacher, Mr. Hanson.
  • It's like Forrest Gump always says: Life is like a box of mogwai; you never know what you're going to get.
  • Billy thinks it's a good idea to moisten one and show how they reproduce. Now there are even more of them.
  • Mr. Hanson asks to run some tests. What kind of tests is he going to do in a public school science lab?
  • On his way home, Billy passes Dorry's Pub.
  • Kate's ushering a drunk Mr. Futterman out the door so she can close.
  • He rambles about gremlins being planted in machinery.
  • According to him, that's how the Germans brought down planes in WWII. Gremlins.
  • Shatner would agree.
  • Billy walks Kate home, and she talks about how depressing Christmas can be for some people.
  • "The suicide rate's always the highest around the holidays," she says.
  • She doesn't celebrate Christmas, but she won't tell Billy why. Is she Ebenezer Scrooge in disguise?
  • Billy asks the hottest Scrooge ever (no offense, Mr. McDuck) out for a date and she says yes. God bless us, everyone.
