Rise from the depths (Deep Rising) (№ 278721)

- You went on just before sunset, the ship will not even be looking for another day or two?
- I'm afraid by that time we will still be, friends. We have to spend time in society, slimy creatures, eating all in a row. The situation is not pleasant.
And maybe we should stay here! This is the caboose for the team. It is made to be airtight in case of fire. There's food. We'll hold out till rescue... With hatches closed, these bastards will not be able to get here.
- You as want, and I'll go further. It's our only chance. I once saw a guy put a fish in a bottle. Tightly corked it and threw it to a baby octopus. The octopus, he felt his way all around the bottle... And in less than a couple of minutes, pulled the plug. Got into the bottle and ate the fish.
What is the moral of the story?
- We're the fish.
