Willard

“When the cat's away, the rats will play.”

The rats in the cellar of the decaying mansion Willard Stiles (Crispin Glover) shares with his bedridden mother (Jackie Burroughs) answer when he talks to them. Glen Morgan keeps Willard in the house and at the office, where his father's old partner Mr. Martin (R. Lee Ermey) rides him every day. Shy, underfed and mocked wherever he goes, Willard finds the only company that has ever listened to him.
