1. They were hungry,
of course,Copy !req
2. having made their way through
their stores of dried meatCopy !req
3. and salt fish days ago,Copy !req
4. even though carefully,
professionally rationed.Copy !req
5. To a man,
they were expert seamen,Copy !req
6. yet no expertise
can surmount a seaCopy !req
7. that does not wish you
to reach shore.Copy !req
8. - Come on!
- Heave, ho, heave.Copy !req
9. - Until...
- Heave, ho, hum.Copy !req
10. .. finally...Copy !req
11. Heave, ho, hum.Copy !req
12. Heave, ho, heave.Copy !req
13. Heave, ho, hum.Copy !req
14. .. celebration was cut short.Copy !req
15. The land reached
was barren, rocky.Copy !req
16. No food, no shelter.Copy !req
17. Only biting insects and snakes.Copy !req
18. When they set off,Copy !req
19. they dreamt of the riches
they would accumulate,Copy !req
20. the fat-breasted women
they would send for.Copy !req
21. Their dreams changed to bread,Copy !req
22. roasted meats.Copy !req
23. Even a salad would do.Copy !req
24. Hah!Copy !req
25. Reginn!Copy !req
26. Gods.Copy !req
27. They did not yet have
a word in their languageCopy !req
28. for 'miserable'.Copy !req
29. They would have to invent one.Copy !req
30. It was time
to leave this accursed land,Copy !req
31. but their sails hung flabby
as Grandmother's teat.Copy !req
32. The wind did not
wish them to leave.Copy !req
33. They were becalmed
astride hell.Copy !req
34. Lucky they knew
wind can be reasoned with.Copy !req
35. The All-Father could intercede
with the wind on their behalf,Copy !req
36. but they feared
he would not knowCopy !req
37. to look this far from home.Copy !req
38. They would have
to MAKE him look.Copy !req
39. Aargh!Copy !req
40. But still...Copy !req
41. ..no wind.Copy !req
42. Heave, ho.Copy !req
43. Heave, ho, hum.Copy !req
44. Heave.Copy !req
45. Heave, ho, hum.Copy !req
46. Heave.Copy !req
47. Heave, ho.Copy !req
48. Heave. Heave.Copy !req
49. It was obvious now
what was required.Copy !req
50. After all,
their god was a war god.Copy !req
51. They left in a hurry,Copy !req
52. not bothering to sew their wounds
or burn the dead.Copy !req
53. And when they reached
their home shores,Copy !req
54. not one of them
ever set foot in a boatCopy !req
55. or spoke of that new world
ever again.Copy !req
56. Heave, ho, hum.Copy !req
57. Over 100 years later,Copy !req
58. when Leif the Fortunate,
son of Erik the Red,Copy !req
59. would rediscover that land,Copy !req
60. he found his god waiting...Copy !req
61. .. along with his war.Copy !req
62. Heave, ho, hum.Copy !req
63. Best thing, only good thing
about being in prison,Copy !req
64. is the relief.Copy !req
65. You don't worry
if they're gonna get youCopy !req
66. when they already got you.Copy !req
67. Tomorrow can't do anything
today hasn't already managed.Copy !req
68. Even better
with a death sentence.Copy !req
69. Bam! Worst has already happened.Copy !req
70. You get a few days
to let it sink inCopy !req
71. and then you're riding the cartCopy !req
72. on the way to do
your dance on nothing.Copy !req
73. This country went to hell
when they stopped hanging folks.Copy !req
74. No gallows dirt,
no gallows deals.Copy !req
75. No gallows humour.Copy !req
76. Yeah.Copy !req
77. Funniest fucking shit
in the world.Copy !req
78. You know, I'm not superstitious.Copy !req
79. I believe in plentyCopy !req
80. when there's reason
and evidence to believe.Copy !req
81. I don't believe
in anything I can't see.Copy !req
82. I feel like there's a fucking axe
hanging over my head.Copy !req
83. No, I can't see it,
but... I believe it.Copy !req
84. I can see it fine.Copy !req
85. Prison has a way
of trying to keep you IN prison.Copy !req
86. They'll do anything they can
to keep you inside with them.Copy !req
87. I smell snow.Copy !req
88. Hello?Copy !req
89. I love you.
Something feels weird.Copy !req
90. I love you too.
What feels weird?Copy !req
91. I don't know. Um...Copy !req
92. .. the weather.Copy !req
93. The air feels constipated,Copy !req
94. like if it'd just push out a storm,
it'd be OK.Copy !req
95. It's nice here.Copy !req
96. Trees are budding.Copy !req
97. There'll be leaves on 'em
when you get back.Copy !req
98. Five days.Copy !req
99. 120 hours till you're home.Copy !req
100. Everything's OK there, right?Copy !req
101. Waiting for the sky to fall
is gonna cause more botherCopy !req
102. than the sky actually falling,
which it isn't.Copy !req
103. Yeah. So nothing's wrong?Copy !req
104. Everything's fine.Copy !req
105. Robbie's coming by.Copy !req
106. We're planning your surprise party.
Welcome home.Copy !req
107. - A surprise party?
- Which you know nothing about.Copy !req
108. Not a thing.Copy !req
109. I love you, puppy.Copy !req
110. I love you too.Copy !req
111. I love you, puppy.Copy !req
112. I love you too, baby.Copy !req

118. for aggravated assault
and battery.Copy !req

121. Shadow, we're gonna
be releasing youCopy !req
122. later this afternoon.Copy !req
123. You'll be getting out
a couple of days early.Copy !req
124. There's no good way to say this,
so I'll be plain.Copy !req
125. This came in from Johnson City
Hospital in Eagle Point.Copy !req
126. Your wife...Copy !req
127. She died in the early hours
of this morning.Copy !req
128. Was a... an automobile accident.Copy !req
129. It's like one of them good news,
bad news jokes, isn't it?Copy !req
130. Good news,
we're letting you out early.Copy !req
131. Bad news, your wife's dead.Copy !req
132. I'm sorry.
It's our policy.Copy !req
133. I can't change your ticketCopy !req
134. from two days from now to today.Copy !req
135. If you have to change
your departure dateCopy !req
136. from Friday to today,Copy !req
137. it's a $200 change fee,Copy !req
138. plus the difference in fare.Copy !req
139. - $200?
- Plus the difference in fare.Copy !req
140. Do you have to travel today?Copy !req
141. I have to get to Eagle Point, yeah.
It's for a funeral.Copy !req
142. Not without
an original death certificate.Copy !req
143. And there's no emails
and there's no copies.Copy !req
144. Do not piss offCopy !req
145. those bitches in airports.Copy !req
146. Take a lesson from Johnnie Larch.Copy !req
147. - Don't know Johnnie Larch.
- He got out after five years.Copy !req
148. At the airport, hands his ticket
to the woman at the counter,Copy !req
149. who asks
for his driver's licence.Copy !req
150. He gives it to her.
She says, "It's expired."Copy !req
151. He says, "It might not be
a valid driver's licence,Copy !req
152. "but it's a damn fine identification.Copy !req
153. "There's my picture,
weight and height.Copy !req
154. "Who the fuck you think it is?"Copy !req
155. She says, "I'll thank you
for not using that language, sir."Copy !req
156. He says, "Give me
my fucking boarding passCopy !req
157. "right fucking now."Copy !req
158. Now, he has the right to take
that tone. She disrespected him.Copy !req
159. You don't let people
disrespect you in prison.Copy !req
160. Why the fuck would he let her
disrespect him as a free man?Copy !req
161. Mm-mm.Copy !req
162. She hit a button.Copy !req
163. Security shows up.
He's back in prison.Copy !req
164. You understand
what I'm saying right now?Copy !req
165. One of those behaviours
that workCopy !req
166. inside a specialised environment
such as a prison,Copy !req
167. but doesn't work when
outside such an environmentCopy !req
168. sort of situation.Copy !req
169. No, dummy.Copy !req
170. I'm saying
do not piss offCopy !req
171. those bitches in airports.Copy !req
172. This is
the final boarding callCopy !req
173. for Flight 286, Orlando.Copy !req
174. Final boarding call, Flight...Copy !req
175. How much for a flight tomorrow?Copy !req
176. Hey, Robbie.Copy !req
177. They tell me Laura's dead.Copy !req
178. Let me out early.Copy !req
179. Coming home.Copy !req
180. I bought it. I d... I did!Copy !req
181. I did. I... I've got to get
to my son's christening. Hm?Copy !req
182. I... I bought
a first-class ticket.Copy !req
183. Sir, this isn't
a first-class ticket.Copy !req
184. I... I sent a cheque.Copy !req
185. Look, th... there's...
there's my name.Copy !req
186. I got to get back.Copy !req
187. He was only born two days ago.
We... we named him...Copy !req
188. We... we named him...Copy !req
189. Sir, are you sure you're
supposed to be travelling alone?Copy !req
190. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
My son always travels with me.Copy !req
191. He takes care of everything,
all the bills.Copy !req
192. I've just got to get back
for his christeningCopy !req
193. and everything
will be alright.Copy !req
194. You know what?Copy !req
195. - He... he'll take care of me.
- We're gonna get you in first.Copy !req
196. - Get... just get him in first.
- First-class? Thank you.Copy !req
197. Yeah, you're gonna go
in first class. OK?Copy !req
198. - Thank you. Thank you.
- Don't worry anymore.Copy !req
199. - And mind your bag.
- Thank you.Copy !req
200. - Watch your step.
- Thank you.Copy !req
201. Next. So sorry.Copy !req
202. Can you take your seat?Copy !req
203. This lady is sitting in it.Copy !req
204. 5D times two.
Now do you see the problem?Copy !req
205. - You need to take another seat.
- Point to one and I'll take it.Copy !req
206. Really?Copy !req
207. At this time please ensure
seat backs and tray tables...Copy !req
208. I guess this must be
your lucky day, huh?Copy !req
209. - .. seatbelts...
- Cashews.Copy !req
210. - Thank you.
- Love 'em.Copy !req
211. Native to Brazil, but grow like
motherfuckers in Florida. Mm!Copy !req
212. I'm supposed
to take your drink, sir.Copy !req
213. Yeah, but you won't,
'cause you'd have saidCopy !req
214. "I need to take your drink, sir"
or "I have to take that drink,"Copy !req
215. neither of which happened,
so don't worry about it.Copy !req
216. I'll hold her very tightCopy !req
217. while you pour my friend here
a Jack and CokeCopy !req
218. and get me another one, hm?Copy !req
219. - Flight attendants...
- Thank you.Copy !req
220. .. prepare the cabin
for departure.Copy !req
221. - Are you nervous?
- Uh...Copy !req
222. - Never flown before.
- Nothing to it.Copy !req
223. Just sit back, be a birdCopy !req
224. and drink up.Copy !req
225. I offer you
the worm from my beak,Copy !req
226. and you look at me
like I fucked your mom?Copy !req
227. Sorry. No. It's...Copy !req
228. You're just the first person
I've talked toCopy !req
229. who wasn't an asshole.Copy !req
230. Give me time.Copy !req
231. Oh...Copy !req
232. Nice work on the upgrade.Copy !req
233. Straight-up sympathy play, huh?Copy !req
234. It's risky.Copy !req
235. Airlines are
the ultimate clip joint.Copy !req
236. They deserve that and worse.Copy !req
237. What would YOU have done,
my boy?Copy !req
238. Uh, good Samaritan.Copy !req
239. You know, gentleman's curve.Copy !req
240. - If I was a travelling man.
- Oh, which you are not?Copy !req
241. Mm-mm. No, sir, not me.Copy !req
242. Seems like a firm decision
made for good reasons.Copy !req
243. I respect that -
a man gets out of prison,Copy !req
244. he should concentrate above all
on not going back.Copy !req
245. Oh, don't worry about me.
I got an eye for these things.Copy !req
246. Just the one, but I can seeCopy !req
247. that you're not used
to the fresh air.Copy !req
248. But I don't see the joy
of being out.Copy !req
249. Also, you lost something vital
in there, not just time.Copy !req
250. What should I call you,
if I were so inclined?Copy !req
251. - Shadow Moon.
- Oh, my boy!Copy !req
252. That is one outstandingly
improbable name.Copy !req
253. Shadow Moon. Moon Shadow.
Goddamn hippie parents.Copy !req
254. - Hippie PARENT.
- Mama had a big afro, huh?Copy !req
255. 'Dancing Queen', hm?Copy !req
256. Yeah. She had the whole kit.Copy !req
257. And if I was inclined,
what might I call you?Copy !req
258. What's today?Copy !req
259. - Wednesday.
- Hm...Copy !req
260. Today's my day.Copy !req
261. Let's go with that, huh?Copy !req
262. Thank you so much, darling.Copy !req
263. Ladies and gentlemen,
please remain in your seats.Copy !req
264. Mm. Always good to meet
a fellow traveller, Shadow...Copy !req
265. Oh. Excuse me. I'm sorry.Copy !req
266. But when you were,
what was your downfall?Copy !req
267. Uh, casinos.Copy !req
268. Oh, bang-bang big time, huh?Copy !req
269. Yeah,
and some small time.Copy !req
270. Yeah.Copy !req
271. Alright...Copy !req
272. Ah...Copy !req
273. Yeah.
Better at the small than big.Copy !req
274. Ah, you got more talent
than me.Copy !req
275. I got two. One is
I can sleep anywhere, anytime.Copy !req
276. The other one is that I usually
end up getting what I want.Copy !req
277. On average, over time.Copy !req
278. It's all about getting people
to believe in you.Copy !req
279. It's not their cash,
it's their faith.Copy !req
280. Well, take this plane,
for example.Copy !req
281. This 80-ton chub of metal,
seat cushions and Bloody Mary mixCopy !req
282. has no right
to be soaring through the sky.Copy !req
283. But along comes Newton,
explains somethingCopy !req
284. about the airflow
over the wingCopy !req
285. creating an uplift
or some such shit,Copy !req
286. none of which
makes a lick of sense,Copy !req
287. but you got 82 passengers
back thereCopy !req
288. who believe it so fiercely,Copy !req
289. the plane continues its journey
safely.Copy !req
290. Now, what's keeping us aloft?Copy !req
291. Faith or Newton?Copy !req
292. Mm!Copy !req
293. They give you a free little shit kit
in first class.Copy !req
294. You might not have known that.Copy !req
295. How you fixed for work?Copy !req
296. Who needs work
when you're rich, huh?Copy !req
297. Well, I just happen to be
in a hiring position.Copy !req
298. And I could be Mr Wednesday
with a shake of the hand.Copy !req
299. Perfectly legal work,
for the most part.Copy !req
300. Good money, open roads,
no aggravation.Copy !req
301. Well, a little bit by and by,
but, uh, you know.Copy !req
302. I would have no hesitation
hiring an ex-con.Copy !req
303. Don't rush into this.
Take your time, hm?Copy !req
304. No, thank you.Copy !req
305. But I have a job waiting for me
at my buddy's gym.Copy !req
306. No, you don't.Copy !req
307. I could use a fellow like you.Copy !req
308. There's always work for a big guy
who's smart enough to knowCopy !req
309. he's better off
letting people think he's dumb.Copy !req
310. Oh, by the way,
did I mention the bonuses?Copy !req
311. Outstanding benefits.Copy !req
312. I'll even throw in a pension
if you'd likeCopy !req
313. and I can tell you
what the fuck a pension is.Copy !req
314. Hell, by the end of your tenure,Copy !req
315. you could be
the next king of America.Copy !req
316. I told you, I got a job.Copy !req
317. Of course, of course. Anyway.Copy !req
318. As a wise man once said,Copy !req
319. a man gets out of prison,Copy !req
320. he should be focused above all
on not going back.Copy !req
321. Don't rush into it.Copy !req
322. Ah.Copy !req
323. Believe.Copy !req
324. Sir? Sir?Copy !req
325. Oh, great.
I slept through first class.Copy !req
326. Sorry. We had to make
an emergency landing.Copy !req
327. Can't blame us
for the weather.Copy !req
328. I can get you
on a flight tomorrowCopy !req
329. that'll get you
into Eagle Point by 6:00.Copy !req
330. How many miles
is it from here?Copy !req
331. I've only been on three other dates
from the computer.Copy !req
332. I... I don't
think I have the talent for it.Copy !req
333. Meeting you...Copy !req
334. ..I'm glad my kids forced meCopy !req
335. into getting on
that stupid thing.Copy !req
336. You... like me?Copy !req
337. Are you sure?Copy !req
338. I want to see you again.Copy !req
339. I know.Copy !req
340. I mean, we... we can wait
and do it then.Copy !req
341. We will.Copy !req
342. Light that for me, would you?Copy !req
343. I'm not what I once was.Copy !req
344. You're perfect.Copy !req
345. You don't think I'm spent?Copy !req
346. You're the sexiest
goddamn thingCopy !req
347. I've ever gotten
to touch for free.Copy !req
348. Mm.Copy !req
349. I'm so...
I don't know what I'm doing.Copy !req
350. What man does?Copy !req
351. Let me...Copy !req
352. Oh...Copy !req
353. Don't let go. Not yet.Copy !req
354. Do something for me.Copy !req
355. Worship me.Copy !req
356. Stay here.Copy !req
357. With your words.Copy !req
358. With your body.Copy !req
359. Worship me.Copy !req
360. Pray to me like I'm your god.Copy !req
361. Your goddess.Copy !req
362. Don't know how.Copy !req
363. Uh, you feel so good.Copy !req
364. I could keep fucking you
forever.Copy !req
365. Worship me! Say my name!Copy !req

375. storm queen
on a throne of honey,Copy !req
376. secret owner of all gold.Copy !req
377. I am yours,
my beloved Bilquis.Copy !req
378. Queens and concubines
and maidensCopy !req
379. hide their faces in shame
before you,Copy !req
380. because you are
the mother of all beauty.Copy !req
381. Trees bow and warriors fall.Copy !req
382. Give me your blessing.Copy !req
383. I bow my head before you
and worship you.Copy !req
384. Oh, my God, that's incredible.
What are you doing?Copy !req
385. Don't stop, honey.Copy !req
386. I offer you everything.Copy !req
387. My money, my blood, my life!Copy !req
388. Please, I pray that

401. Yeah.Copy !req
402. My wife makes a great chilli.Copy !req
403. You ain't ever had
chilli like this, kitty.Copy !req

406. Oh, sure you can.Copy !req
407. Just don't make a mess
and stiff me on the tip.Copy !req
408. Permission granted.Copy !req
409. Not that rushing
into things can't be a good thing.Copy !req
410. Sex rushed intoCopy !req
411. tends to work out best
for all involved.Copy !req
412. Marriages, oh, I grant,Copy !req
413. may merit an extra moment's
consideration.Copy !req
414. Oh, apologies, amigo.Copy !req
415. Insensitive of me
to talk about marriage.Copy !req
416. I am truly, deeply sorry

I thought. Hm?Copy !req
418. OK, I've said "fuck off"
politelyCopy !req
419. as many ways as I'm gonna.Copy !req
420. Now I'm fixing to be direct.Copy !req
421. Don't you want to ask me
about the job?Copy !req
422. I don't want your fucking job.Copy !req

you'd want to reconsiderCopy !req
425. on account of your friend
Robbie's conditionCopy !req
426. and on account
of you being broke.Copy !req
427. What about his condition?Copy !req
428. The fuck do you know
about Robbie?Copy !req
429. More than you, it seems.Copy !req
430. Robbie Burton is dead.
Page seven.Copy !req
431. I don't have a job.Copy !req
432. But, you know,Copy !req
433. I won't work for anyone
who's got worse luck than me.Copy !req
434. So call.Copy !req
435. If I win, you work for me?Copy !req
436. Rigged games
are the easiest to beat.Copy !req
437. It is always gonna be tails,Copy !req
438. because I don't want
to work for you.Copy !req
439. You're a little creepyCopy !req
440. and you're forward and familiarCopy !req
441. and I don't like it.Copy !req
442. I don't like you.Copy !req
443. It's not always gonna be tails.Copy !req
444. We'll negotiate the terms
of your employmentCopy !req
445. over a drink.Copy !req
446. Tails.Copy !req
447. Every fucking time.Copy !req
448. Coin tricks, is it?Copy !req
449. You're working
for our man, then?Copy !req
450. - Who are you?
- I'm a leprechaun.Copy !req
451. OK. You're a little tall
for a leprechaun.Copy !req
452. That's a stereotype.Copy !req
453. Represents a very narrow view
of the world.Copy !req
454. So what, you're from Ireland?Copy !req
455. I told you I'm a leprechaun.Copy !req
456. We don't come
from Moscow, Russia.Copy !req
457. Or Moscow, Idaho,
for that matter.Copy !req
458. How much has our man told you?Copy !req
459. - No details.
- Devil's in the details.Copy !req
460. Do you know who he is?
Who he really is?Copy !req
461. Well, I never. Mad Sweeney
as I live and breathe.Copy !req
462. What a surprise.
Southern Comfort and Coke for you.Copy !req
463. Jack Daniel's for me.Copy !req
464. And these are for you,
Shadow Moon.Copy !req
465. - What is it?
- Ooh...Copy !req
466. Tastes like prison hooch,Copy !req
467. brewed in a garbage bag
with rotten fruit.Copy !req
468. But sweeter,
smoother, stranger.Copy !req
469. It's mead. Honey wine.Copy !req
470. Drink of heroes,
drink of the gods.Copy !req
471. Tastes like
a drunken diabetic's piss.Copy !req
472. It's a tradition.
It seals our bargain.Copy !req
473. - We don't have a bargain.
- Of course we do.Copy !req
474. I won the toss.
You work for me now.Copy !req
475. You're my aide-de-camp.
My castellan.Copy !req
476. Protect and serve.Copy !req
477. You drive
where needs driving to.Copy !req
478. You take care of things
generally on my behalf.Copy !req
479. And in an emergency -
in an emergency only -Copy !req
480. you kick the asses of those
whose asses require kicking.Copy !req
481. And in the unlikely event
of my death,Copy !req
482. you will hold my vigil.Copy !req
483. He's hustling you.Copy !req
484. - He's a hustler.
- Damn right.Copy !req
485. I'm a hustler, swindler,
cheater and liar.Copy !req
486. That's why I need assistance.Copy !req
487. You've told me what you want.
Want to know what I want?Copy !req
488. Of course I do.
Name your price.Copy !req
489. I just want to go
to my wife's funeral.Copy !req
490. OK? I just want to say goodbye.Copy !req
491. Now after that, yeah, fine,
I'll work for you for $2,000 a week.Copy !req
492. You want me to hurt people?Copy !req
493. Well, I'll hurt people
if they try and hurt you.Copy !req
494. I'm not gonna hurt anyone
for fun or profit.Copy !req
495. I'll work for you up to which point
you start to piss me offCopy !req
496. and then I'm gone.Copy !req
497. Good. We have a compact.Copy !req
498. The second seals the deal.Copy !req
499. The third is the charm
and we're done.Copy !req
500. There.Copy !req
501. You're my man now.Copy !req
502. Ah...Copy !req
503. It'll be heads.Copy !req
504. Well, if it's coin tricks
we're doing...Copy !req
505. ..watch this.Copy !req
506. Now that's a coin trick
for you.Copy !req
507. - How'd you do it?
- With panache.Copy !req
508. So what, you loaded
coins up your sleeves?Copy !req
509. Sounds like a lot of work to me.Copy !req
510. It's easier just to pluck 'em
out of the air.Copy !req
511. Simplest trick in the world.Copy !req
512. - How'd you do it?
- Tell you what.Copy !req
513. I'll fight you for it.Copy !req
514. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
515. Come on.Copy !req
516. I'm not fighting you.Copy !req
517. Real gold, if you're wondering.Copy !req
518. Win or lose...Copy !req
519. .. and you're gonna lose -Copy !req
520. it's yours if you fight me.Copy !req
521. He said he doesn't want
to fight you.Copy !req
522. Come on. Big fella like you.Copy !req
523. Who'd have thought
you'd be a fucking coward?Copy !req
524. Whiff of death on the page.Copy !req
525. Laura Moon.Copy !req
526. Oh. Is...Copy !req
527. Is this your old lady's obituary?Copy !req
528. She was a fine...Copy !req
529. Hey, everybody!Copy !req
530. There's gonna be
a lesson learned!Copy !req
531. Watch this.Copy !req
532. Attaboy.Copy !req
533. Now you're fighting
for the joy of it,Copy !req
534. for the sheer unholy
fucking delight of it!Copy !req
535. Can you feel the joy
rising in your veinsCopy !req
536. like the sap
in the springtime?Copy !req
537. We're done.Copy !req
538. It ain't over till I say it is.Copy !req
539. You may have drank a lot.Copy !req
540. Let it come back to you.Copy !req
541. So what do you know, huh?Copy !req
542. I know I'm in pain.Copy !req
543. And I know
I recently said yesCopy !req
544. to something stupid.Copy !req
545. That may be true.Copy !req
546. Did he teach me that trick?Copy !req
547. You know what, I believe he did.Copy !req
548. - Don't suppose you heard him?
- No such luck.Copy !req
549. - Where's my car?
- Oh, I dumped it.Copy !req
550. Red's not your colour.
And don't get used to this.Copy !req
551. You're going to be driving Betty here
from now on.Copy !req
552. I just thought
you could use some sleep.Copy !req
553. It's not every day
a man gets to bury his wife.Copy !req
554. I have preparations and
communications to keep me busy,Copy !req
555. after which
I will entertain myself.Copy !req
556. Now I'll tell you this once
and once only EVER.Copy !req
557. Take all the time you need.Copy !req
558. Did you escape or did they,
uh... they let you out?Copy !req
559. - Audrey!
- Well...Copy !req
560. Not the reunion
you were hoping for.Copy !req
561. Well, she looks pretty.Copy !req
562. They did a hell of a jobCopy !req
563. reconstructing
her face and neck.Copy !req
564. I think that and the coffin
just killed your savings.Copy !req
565. All so you could have
that nice open casket,Copy !req
566. get one last look
at her pretty face.Copy !req
567. I'm sorry about Robbie, OK?Copy !req
568. He was a really good friendCopy !req
569. and I know he loved you
like crazy.Copy !req
570. So did Laura.Copy !req
571. Whoa! Shit, Shadow.Copy !req
572. No-one told you?Copy !req
573. She died with my husband's cock
in her mouth.Copy !req
574. What did you do, Laura?Copy !req
575. Wha... what was it?Copy !req
576. Was it a one-time thing
the night before I got back?Copy !req
577. Ah, that's...Copy !req
578. That's a "we're in this together" thing.Copy !req
579. Was it love? If you were gonna leave,
you could have told me.Copy !req
580. OK? I could've taken it.Copy !req
581. You know,
I had a surprise for you.Copy !req
582. I read when I was in.Copy !req
583. Mainly history.Copy !req
584. Six books a week
for three years.Copy !req
585. 813 books.Copy !req
586. 8 and 13 - Fibonacci numbers.Copy !req
587. And I know that why?Copy !req
588. Because four of them
were about math.Copy !req
589. I like math. Who knew?Copy !req
590. I just wanted to come back
better than when I went in...Copy !req
591. .. for you.Copy !req
592. I wanted to be a part
of your history.Copy !req
593. God damn it, Laura.Copy !req
594. Two funerals in a day.Copy !req
595. Husband and best friend.Copy !req
596. But you skipped Robbie's.Copy !req
597. - That's fair.
- Audrey...Copy !req
598. I was yelling at mine too.
It doesn't do any good.Copy !req
599. It's just anger makes you feel
like you can change the outcome.Copy !req
600. But there's no arguing
with dead, no debate,Copy !req
601. because dead wins
10 out of 10.Copy !req
602. So I pissed on him.Copy !req
603. How long were they...?Copy !req
604. Not sure. Long time,
now that I put things together.Copy !req
605. Late nights, daytime showers.Copy !req
606. Dickless piece of shit!Copy !req
607. That's not an epithet.Copy !req
608. That is a literal description.Copy !req
609. Severed at the root
in the crash.Copy !req
610. Coroner had the nerve to ask meCopy !req
611. what I wanted him
to do with it.Copy !req
612. I told him
leave it where he found it.Copy !req
613. Relax. They didn't bury Laura
with it still in her mouth.Copy !req
614. I had him put it
somewhere special.Copy !req
615. Don't listen to me, Shadow.Copy !req
616. I lost count on the Ativan.Copy !req
617. I'm interrupting.
You were saying your piece.Copy !req
618. No, I'm not.
People did enough talking today.Copy !req
619. I think someone actually said
she's in a better place.Copy !req
620. She's in Parkview Cemetery.Copy !req
621. Target would be
more interesting than here.Copy !req
622. If there isn't some kind
of life after death,Copy !req
623. I'm gonna be SO pissed.Copy !req
624. Kicked fucking puppy.Copy !req
625. I hated you guys as a couple
'cause of this,Copy !req
626. the way that you...
you looked at her.Copy !req
627. Robbie did his best
to avoid looking at me.Copy !req
628. Get used to the boot, puppy.Copy !req
629. There is no closure
from the dead.Copy !req
630. Maybe, you know,
three years from now,Copy !req
631. some therapist will tell you,
"Write her a letterCopy !req
632. "saying everything
you wish you could say to herCopy !req
633. "and drop it in the oceanCopy !req
634. "and maybe it'll help."Copy !req
635. It won't help.Copy !req
636. I'm sorry for your loss,
Shadow.Copy !req
637. I really am.Copy !req
638. Anyone tell you that yet?Copy !req
639. I'm not sure.Copy !req
640. Oh. Anyone even hug you?Copy !req
641. Shit. Well, you just
got out of prison.Copy !req
642. - You haven't been hugged in...
- ..how long?Copy !req
643. I read that's a thing
with ex-cons,Copy !req
644. forgetting what it's like
just to feel someone.Copy !req
645. Oh, shit. You...
you worked out in prison.Copy !req
646. I have a proposal for closure
for us both.Copy !req
647. - Audrey...
- No, no. Hear me out.Copy !req
648. This is a good one.
Lex talionis.Copy !req
649. An eye for an eye,
blowjob for a blowjob.Copy !req
650. Right here
where they can see us.Copy !req
651. - I appreciate the offer, but...
- My husband and your wife!Copy !req
652. My best friend!Copy !req
653. I want them to see it.Copy !req
654. I want Robbie to watchCopy !req
655. while I take this gorgeous man's cock
in my mouth.Copy !req
656. Pissing on him wasn't enough.Copy !req
657. I want you to come in my mouth.Copy !req
658. I'm gonna spit it on his grave.Copy !req
659. Jesus, who knew
I could be so angry?Copy !req
660. No, no, no. Stop.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.Copy !req
661. You're right. Fuck me already.Copy !req
662. Don't, Audrey. I can't...Copy !req
663. I'm trying to get my dignity
back here!Copy !req
664. Hold on.Copy !req
665. Wait. Audrey!Copy !req
666. Hello, Shadow.Copy !req
667. Don't fuck with me.Copy !req
668. OK.Copy !req
669. I won't.Copy !req
670. Uh, but if you could just drop me off
at the Motel America...Copy !req
671. Hit him.Copy !req
672. I said don't fuck with me.
Now, that was fucking with me.Copy !req
673. Keep your answers short
and to the pointCopy !req
674. or I will fucking kill you.Copy !req
675. Or maybe I won't, maybe
I'll just have the Children hereCopy !req
676. break every bone
in your fucking body.Copy !req
677. So don't fuck with me.Copy !req
678. - Got it.
- You're working for Wednesday.Copy !req
679. Yeah.Copy !req
680. - Smoke?
- No, thank you.Copy !req
681. Well, it's not tobacco
and it ain't weed.Copy !req
682. It smells
like an appliance fire.Copy !req
683. Synthetic toad skins.Copy !req
684. Hm.Copy !req
685. What the fuck is Wednesday after?
What's he doing here?Copy !req
686. There's got to be a plan.
What's the game plan, man?Copy !req
687. I started working
for Mr Wednesday this morning.Copy !req
688. How auspicious.
You must be special.Copy !req
689. - No, I'm just an errand boy.
- Is that all?Copy !req
690. Wednesday is history.Copy !req
691. Forgotten and... old.Copy !req
692. He should just let it happen.
We are the future.Copy !req
693. We don't give a fuck about him
or anyone like him anymore.Copy !req
694. They are consigned
to the dumpster.Copy !req
695. Now we have
reprogrammed reality.Copy !req
696. Language is a virus,
religion an operating systemCopy !req
697. and prayers are just
so much fucking spam.Copy !req
698. OK, well,
you're saying all thisCopy !req
699. like I'm supposed to know
what the fuck you're talking about.Copy !req
700. The dominant fucking paradigm,
Shadow.Copy !req
701. That is the only
important thing.Copy !req
702. By the way, I was sorry to hear
about your wife. Tough break.Copy !req
703. - Thanks.
- So I will ask again.Copy !req
704. What is it Wednesday is up to?Copy !req
705. We've barely exchanged
a dozen words.Copy !req
706. You can let me out here.
I'll walk the rest.Copy !req
707. - You're saying you don't know?
- Telling you I don't know.Copy !req
708. Would you tell me
even if you did?Copy !req
709. Probably not.Copy !req
710. As you say,
I work for Mr Wednesday.Copy !req
711. Well, then why the fuck
am I wasting my timeCopy !req
712. sitting here talking to you?Copy !req
713. You know, I was curious myselfCopy !req
714. how long you'd go on
sucking your own dick.Copy !req
715. Kill him.Copy !req
716. We're not just going
to kill you, Shadow.Copy !req
717. We're going to delete you.Copy !req
718. One click
and you are overwritten.Copy !req
719. Undelete...Copy !req
720. .. that is not an option.Copy !req
