1. There's no good way
to say this, so I'll put it plain.Copy !req
2. Your wife died in the early hours
of this morning.Copy !req
3. Don't look at me like that,
like you're a lost puppy.Copy !req
4. Oh, shit, Shadow.
No-one told you?Copy !req
5. My lucky coin.Copy !req
6. Do you believe
in the afterlife?Copy !req
7. You rot.Copy !req
8. When you die, you rot.Copy !req
9. I love you, puppy.Copy !req
10. It's not
always gonna be tails.Copy !req
11. It had been
a hard journey eastCopy !req
12. across the land bridge
from Siberia.Copy !req
13. Freezing and dark,
and it had taken a bitter toll.Copy !req
14. After the custom
of her people...Copy !req
15. .. Atsula spoke
her baby's name...Copy !req
16. Aputi.Copy !req
17. for the final time.Copy !req
18. Her daughter would never see
the new landCopy !req
19. to which they travelled.Copy !req
20. They did not travel alone.Copy !req
21. Their god came with them.Copy !req
22. Nunyunnini.Copy !req
23. But when they reached
the new lands...Copy !req
24. the promised food
was nowhere to be found.Copy !req
25. Atsula communed
with Nunyunnini...Copy !req
26. for the barriers
were thinner thenCopy !req
27. between people and their gods.Copy !req
28. And Nunyunnini spoke.Copy !req
29. And he showed her what to do,Copy !req
30. as he had once shown
her grandmotherCopy !req
31. and her grandmother's
grandmother.Copy !req
32. Nunyunnini loved His people,
as they loved Him.Copy !req
33. And so it pained Him
to tell herCopy !req
34. that escape from
the cold embrace of starvationCopy !req
35. would come at a terrible price.Copy !req
36. The gods are great.Copy !req
37. But people are greater.Copy !req
38. For it is in their hearts
that gods are born.Copy !req
39. And to their hearts
that they return.Copy !req
40. Gods live and gods die.Copy !req
41. And soon enough...Copy !req
42. .. Nunyunnini was entirely...Copy !req
43. forgotten.Copy !req
44. Hi, puppy.Copy !req
45. Hey...Copy !req
46. ..baby.Copy !req
47. What the fuck
are you doing here?Copy !req
48. I'm cold, puppy.Copy !req
49. I was just seeing
if you were real.Copy !req
50. I'm real.Copy !req
51. Here.Copy !req
52. Come sit by me.Copy !req
53. You know, we got some
unresolved issues to discuss.Copy !req
54. You and Robbie?Copy !req
55. Yes.Copy !req
56. Yes. There is that.Copy !req
57. Uh, there's also the miracleCopy !req
58. of me sitting here posthumously.Copy !req
59. I mean, that's a pretty
significant thingCopy !req
60. for us to discuss tooCopy !req
61. and to appreciate.Copy !req
62. Maybe we should take a moment
and do that.Copy !req
63. No.
You rising from the dead?Copy !req
64. It's about par
for the fucking courseCopy !req
65. since I left prison, OK?Copy !req
66. So don't think that anything
you got to say or do,Copy !req
67. including dying,Copy !req
68. is going to distract
from the subject at hand.Copy !req
69. OK, you want to know
about me and Robbie?Copy !req
70. - Yeah.
- To what degree?Copy !req
71. I mean, do you want
to know everything?Copy !req
72. Or do you want to know
the broad strokes, so to speak?Copy !req
73. Why don't you start telling meCopy !req
74. and I will tell you
when to stop?Copy !req
75. I wasn't lying when I said
that I could wait for youCopy !req
76. at the time that I said it.Copy !req
77. I sort of knew that it had
the potential of being a lie,Copy !req
78. but I was giving myself
the benefit of the doubtCopy !req
79. that there was a version
of eventsCopy !req
80. where it wouldn't be a lie.Copy !req
81. You were in prison, Shadow.Copy !req
82. How long did you wait?Copy !req
83. 13 months.Copy !req
84. Baker's year.Copy !req
85. Why did you have to fuck Robbie?Copy !req
86. Well, I wasn't going to do it,
and then I was going to do it,Copy !req
87. and then I wasn't
going to do it,Copy !req
88. and then it felt really good
having not done it, and then...Copy !req
89. .. the cat died...Copy !req
90. .. and, um...Copy !req
91. .. Robbie came over
and, you know, wine.Copy !req
92. You know
what they say about grief.Copy !req
93. Next to every cemetery
is a motel.Copy !req
94. Once we did it,
we'd already done it,Copy !req
95. and there was no undoing it.Copy !req
96. Were you going to leave me
for him?Copy !req
97. For Robbie? Please.Copy !req
98. Why would I do that?Copy !req
99. You're my puppy.Copy !req
100. I love you.Copy !req
101. I...Copy !req
102. So...Copy !req
103. What happened?Copy !req
104. The night you were killed,
what... what happened?Copy !req
105. Um...Copy !req
106. So, anyway, we were driving.Copy !req
107. And he was upset.Copy !req
108. And so I decided to give himCopy !req
109. a little goodbye blowjob,
you know?Copy !req
110. One last time with feeling.Copy !req
111. And so I unzipped his pants.Copy !req
112. - Big mistake.
- Yeah. No shit.Copy !req
113. Um, he swerved,
and there was a big crunch,Copy !req
114. and the world started
to roll and spin.Copy !req
115. And I thought...Copy !req
116. .. fuck.Copy !req
117. I'm going to die.Copy !req
118. I mean, really, I was very blah
about the whole thing.Copy !req
119. I wasn't scared.
I remember that.Copy !req
120. Then I was...Copy !req
121. .. somewhere.Copy !req
122. And then...Copy !req
123. ..I was in a box.Copy !req
124. Puppy, do you think
that you could possiblyCopy !req
125. get me a cigarette?Copy !req
126. I think it might calm my nerves.Copy !req
127. Might calm yours as well.Copy !req
128. Laura?Copy !req
129. I'm in here, puppy.Copy !req
130. I thought it might be nice
if I were warm to the touch,Copy !req
131. in the event that you were
thinking of touching me.Copy !req
132. Or kissing me.Copy !req
133. I don't want you
kissing cold lips.Copy !req
134. What?Copy !req
135. Normally, people who die
tend to stay in their graves,Copy !req
136. that's what.Copy !req
137. Do they really, puppy?Copy !req
138. I mean, I used to think so too,
but now I'm not so sure.Copy !req
139. Maybe.Copy !req
140. Yeah, what is it?Copy !req
141. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.Copy !req
142. What?Copy !req
143. Can't taste it.Copy !req
144. This is not doing anything,
nerve-wise or otherwise.Copy !req
145. Want to put that on my finger?Copy !req
146. When I called you,
the last time...Copy !req
147. ..I had a feeling I was never
going to see you again.Copy !req
148. I think I knew
you were going to die.Copy !req
149. I had this feeling in my stomach
that something was wrong.Copy !req
150. There is a big storm rolling
across the country right now,Copy !req
151. and nothing feels OK.Copy !req
152. This feels OK.Copy !req
153. You and me...Copy !req
154. ..it can.Copy !req
155. I'm sure there are some things
about our marriageCopy !req
156. that we're going
to have to work on.Copy !req
157. What? Like... you being dead?Copy !req
158. I tasted that.Copy !req
159. I felt that.Copy !req
160. I just... I felt something.Copy !req
161. It felt like... like alive.Copy !req
162. Do I feel alive?Copy !req
163. Yeah.Copy !req
164. Good.Copy !req
165. You know...Copy !req
166. I don't really know much more now
than I did when I was alive,Copy !req
167. and I think whatever I know now
that I didn't know then,Copy !req
168. I can't even really
put into words.Copy !req
169. But I do know that I love you.Copy !req
170. I mean, I had to die
to know just how much, but...Copy !req
171. ..I really do.Copy !req
172. You know,
you've gotten yourself mixed upCopy !req
173. in some really weird shit,
Shadow.Copy !req
174. I'm watching out for you.Copy !req
175. Thank you for my present,
by the way.Copy !req
176. What present?Copy !req
177. My coin.Copy !req
178. Yeah, I know someone
looking for that coin.Copy !req
179. Well, they can't have it.Copy !req
180. It's mine now.Copy !req
181. Are you still my puppy?Copy !req
182. No. I'm not.Copy !req
183. Still awake?Copy !req
184. I think so.Copy !req
185. Yeah, me too. Can't sleep.Copy !req
186. Recent events have conspired
against us both.Copy !req
187. And I need a drink.
A man can admit that, huh?Copy !req
188. Yeah, uh, I just really
want to go to bed.Copy !req
189. - Put the day behind me.
- Come on. One drink.Copy !req
190. Well, that's a lie.
Five, six drinks.Copy !req
191. - Look, now isn't the time.
- Hmm?Copy !req
192. Shadow.Copy !req
193. You must have questions,Copy !req
194. and if you don't, you should.Copy !req
195. What is that smell?Copy !req
196. What is it?
Cat piss and oven cleaner?Copy !req
197. I do... I do have questions.Copy !req
198. Hey, I'm making a list,
a long list.Copy !req
199. But right now,Copy !req
200. I just need to wrap my head
around what I've seen.Copy !req
201. I see you've seen something.Copy !req
202. Hands where I can see them.
Now.Copy !req
203. My hands are right here, ma'am.Copy !req
204. Didn't take long.Copy !req
205. Parole officer says
you've been out all of six days.Copy !req
206. - What's this about, ma'am?
- You're under arrest, genius.Copy !req
207. May I ask what for?Copy !req
208. Bank robbery.Copy !req
209. Fuck.Copy !req
210. Why, you pretty thing, you.Copy !req
211. You have an image problem.Copy !req
212. You need to think about
your brand,Copy !req
213. how you want the world
to see you,Copy !req
214. how you want Mr World
to see you.Copy !req
215. Tasked with asking
a few questions,Copy !req
216. you hang a black man
from a tree.Copy !req
217. You've got your transmission
and your live wire,Copy !req
218. but your circuit's dead.Copy !req
219. He was fucking with me.
I told him not to fuck with me.Copy !req
220. Take a look at you,
beating up the wrong guy.Copy !req
221. You're a good kid, just not good
with people you don't know.Copy !req
222. Apologise.Copy !req
223. Please pass on my sincerest
apologies to Mr World.Copy !req
224. Mr World doesn't want
your apology.Copy !req
225. He would, however,
like to re-gift your apologyCopy !req
226. to Wednesday
and his man Shadow Moon.Copy !req
227. Are you fucking with me
right now?Copy !req
228. Mr World expects your apology
to be every bit as authenticCopy !req
229. as if you were apologising
to him directly.Copy !req
230. He's letting the old fuck
get away with it.Copy !req
231. There is a terror in knowing
what Mr World is about.Copy !req
232. Wednesday was suffocating.Copy !req
233. The spark was smouldering.Copy !req
234. And then you came along,
putting out fire with gasoline.Copy !req
235. Wednesday's collecting monsters.
Fucking Pokémon.Copy !req
236. He's recruiting.Copy !req
237. Martyrdom is a popular
recruitment tool.Copy !req
238. And now we have to pluck
the fuse out of the fuckerCopy !req
239. before the whole thing
blows up in our faces.Copy !req
240. Apologise.Copy !req
241. You're delusional
if you think he's letting goCopy !req
242. of whatever it is
he's holding on toCopy !req
243. with a little apology from me.Copy !req
244. That is one
mass fucking delusion.Copy !req
245. Mass delusions
are as old as I am.Copy !req
246. I was there when the Martians
invaded in 1938.Copy !req
247. What a panic.Copy !req
248. Powerful panic.Copy !req
249. Now there are starmen
waiting in the sky.Copy !req
250. They believed it was true,
and it was.Copy !req
251. Not everyone had to.
Just enough.Copy !req
252. That's all Mr Wednesday needs -
just enough.Copy !req
253. Maybe just one.Copy !req
254. Your boss doesn't seem
to have an ID, record,Copy !req
255. somehow even a name.Copy !req
256. You had all those, Mr Moon.
Record especially.Copy !req
257. Lawyer.Copy !req
258. Didn't catch that.Copy !req
259. You're probably asking yourself
about now how it came to passCopy !req
260. that two country-fried police
even found you at that motelCopy !req
261. for a crime committed over -
count 'em - two state lines.Copy !req
262. It's a good story. Just ask.Copy !req
263. Lawyer, please.Copy !req
264. Hmm.Copy !req
265. I thought maybe you were going
to say something different.Copy !req
266. So this guy Moon
robbed you?Copy !req
267. He stole me.Copy !req
268. From the, uh, Aged Oaks
Retirement Home where you live?Copy !req
269. - What Oaks?
- Mm-hm.Copy !req
270. Yeah.Copy !req
271. No, no, no, no, no, no.
There's no sand there.Copy !req
272. I live on a beach.
I always have.Copy !req
273. We like to go fishing,
me and the boys, you know?Copy !req
274. My wife hates it, though.
She... she loves fish.Copy !req
275. Loves wine. Hates fishing.Copy !req
276. Uh, why don't we start
with your name, huh?Copy !req
277. Madam Life's a piece in bloom.Copy !req
278. Death goes dogging everywhere.Copy !req
279. She's the tenant of the room.
He's the ruffian on the stair.Copy !req
280. Look, I get it.Copy !req
281. You're a week out of jail.Copy !req
282. You meet some old grifter
who seems to know his way around.Copy !req
283. The guy offers a job,
a chance to learn.Copy !req
284. But I think this boss of yoursCopy !req
285. pissed off
some big-time bombers.Copy !req
286. And whether you realise it
or not,Copy !req
287. you're about to get hit
by the shrapnel.Copy !req
288. Lawyer.Copy !req
289. Ah.Copy !req
290. What were you doing in Chicago?Copy !req
291. You wouldn't believe me
if I told you.Copy !req
292. - Try me.
- Chicago.Copy !req
293. Honest answers only.Copy !req
294. If you can manage.Copy !req
295. God's honest.Copy !req
296. I was recruiting a tired
but still vital god of deathCopy !req
297. into a war against the new gods
who very rightly fear HimCopy !req
298. as much as they should fear me
but don't yet.Copy !req
299. You're not dumb.
Might even be smart.Copy !req
300. I get that, and I respect that.Copy !req
301. In every other case, you'd be doing
what experience advises.Copy !req
302. Now, the reason
I take pause here,Copy !req
303. the reason I'm hoping you will break
from the natural scriptCopy !req
304. is that this is, I suspect,
suspect strongly,Copy !req
305. this is not the average case.Copy !req
306. So... take a moment to consider
answering my next questionCopy !req
307. before saying what you're
going to say anyway, OK?Copy !req
308. Does your boss have enemies?Copy !req
309. Lawyer.Copy !req
310. The reason I ask is because
some anonymous tipCopy !req
311. dropped you right in our laps,
boxed up with a bow.Copy !req
312. But not the usual "Hey, I saw
someone who looked like the guyCopy !req
313. "on 'America's Most Wanted'
at the Carl's Jr drive-thru."Copy !req
314. This was, uh,
I'm going to say different.Copy !req
315. I got a goddamn fax on a machine
that hasn't been turned on in,Copy !req
316. I don't know,
since fax machines.Copy !req
317. And this fax gave us
your precise location,Copy !req
318. GPS coordinates, make,
model, mileage,Copy !req
319. even VIN number of your Caddy.Copy !req
320. Now, much as I'd get accoladesCopy !req
321. if we collar you two
for the bank bullshit,Copy !req
322. it's nowhere near
as big or as interestingCopy !req
323. as what is suggested
by the details.Copy !req
324. Now, you help me unpack those,Copy !req
325. I may just help get you
out of here.Copy !req
326. You have my attention.Copy !req
327. Now, the leprechaun,Copy !req
328. he's been against all this
from the get-go,Copy !req
329. but he's at a disadvantage
being as he is a fucking idiot.Copy !req
330. Now, Nancy,
he comes at all of thisCopy !req
331. from a specific vantage
of the bitterly dispossessed,Copy !req
332. which normally I would take
with a grain,Copy !req
333. but I have to admit,Copy !req
334. having seen the rope burnsCopy !req
335. around my friend's neck...Copy !req
336. So, imagine, two rural police,
middle of wild turkey season,Copy !req
337. and the same company
whose tech found OsamaCopy !req
338. is dropping two no-name grifters
in our lap.Copy !req
339. You two have
very extravagant enemies.Copy !req
340. Lawyer?Copy !req
341. What's the ask?Copy !req
342. Uh, you got me curious.Copy !req
343. I'd like to know what you know.Copy !req
344. I don't think you do.Copy !req
345. I'm a big girl.
I make my own mistakes.Copy !req
346. - You offering me something?
- Might be.Copy !req
347. I want to walk out of here soon.Copy !req
348. Got somewhere to be?Copy !req
349. Prison Bureau says...Copy !req
350. .. your wife just passed away.Copy !req
351. D.A. can be persuaded
to look leniently on that.Copy !req
352. Losing a wife...Copy !req
353. It's got to be complicated.Copy !req
354. You're the wife.Copy !req
355. You're the dead wife.Copy !req
356. Give me my fucking coin,
dead wife.Copy !req
357. You mean MY fucking coin.Copy !req
358. The dead can't own things.Copy !req
359. That's why God made
last wills and testaments.Copy !req
360. Don't imagine yours
includes my lucky coin.Copy !req
361. Oh! Ohh! Oh!Copy !req
362. - My lucky coin, Ginger Minge.
- Fuck!Copy !req
363. My husband gave that coin to me.Copy !req
364. Damn his dark eyes.Copy !req
365. Gave it a-fucking-way.Copy !req
366. It wasn't his to give!Copy !req
367. I gave him the wrong coin.Copy !req
368. Wasn't meant to be that coin.Copy !req
369. That's for royalty, see?Copy !req
370. That's a coin you give to
the King of America himself,Copy !req
371. not some piss-ant bastard
like your piece-of-shit husband.Copy !req
372. Just give me
my fucking coin back!Copy !req
373. No.Copy !req
374. You'll never see me again
if you do.Copy !req
375. I swear to fucking Bran, OK?Copy !req
376. I swear by the years I spent
in the fucking trees.Copy !req
377. Give me my coin, cunt!Copy !req
378. Ohh!Copy !req
379. I'm going to ask you
some questionsCopy !req
380. and I'd like for you
to answer me honestly.Copy !req
381. However, if I feel like
you're not being honest,Copy !req
382. I'm going to kick you
in the nuts.Copy !req
383. I want you to know that the last time
I kicked a guy in the nuts,Copy !req
384. my foot didn't stop until
it reached his throat, OK?Copy !req
385. How do you know my husband?Copy !req
386. I was told to be at a bar.
Pick a fight with your man.Copy !req
387. Said he wanted to see
what your man was made of.Copy !req
388. Who said?Copy !req
389. - Use your words.
- Uhh! Grimnir!Copy !req
390. The dude he calls Wednesday.Copy !req
391. Fuck!Copy !req
392. He's a god.Copy !req
393. - You don't believe me?
- No, no.Copy !req
394. Just processing.Copy !req
395. Um, what else
did God tell you to do?Copy !req
396. You shouldn't trust him -
Grimnir.Copy !req
397. - Wednesday.
- Don't trust him.Copy !req
398. - Don't have to trust him.
- Your man does and he shouldn't.Copy !req
399. Listen, just give me
my fucking coin back, yeah?Copy !req
400. Hey. There's more
where that came from.Copy !req
401. I'll give you another.Copy !req
402. Just as good.Copy !req
403. Hell.Copy !req
404. I'll give you a shitload.Copy !req
405. Just as good?Copy !req
406. Just as good.Copy !req
407. Hmm.Copy !req
408. I don't really feel
like any of those coinsCopy !req
409. are going to do the job
that my coin's doing.Copy !req
410. You can't take it, can you?Copy !req
411. I have to give it
to you freely.Copy !req
412. - Right?
- Right.Copy !req
413. Well, you're fucked.Copy !req
414. I'm not going to give it to you.
Come on.Copy !req
415. I don't think you're ever
going to get your coin back.Copy !req
416. Never ever ever.Copy !req
417. Not ever.Copy !req
418. Not not ever.Copy !req
419. Meat's going to slide off you
sooner or later, dead wife.Copy !req
420. Sooner if you keep soaking it
in hot water.Copy !req
421. All that connective tissue
holding you together.Copy !req
422. That's going to liquefy.Copy !req
423. You'll find yourself
on a hot, humid summer dayCopy !req
424. just cooking in that moist heat.Copy !req
425. And you're going to fall
right off the bone.Copy !req
426. When you do, I'm going

556. You're an individualist.Copy !req
557. Rugged individualism.Copy !req
558. It simply doesn't work anymore.Copy !req
559. Brands. Sure.Copy !req
560. A useful heuristic.Copy !req
561. But ultimately, everything

562. a single product
manufactured by a single companyCopy !req
563. for a single global market.Copy !req

583. Inside every pearl, there's
a single irritating grain of sand.Copy !req
584. That's me.Copy !req
585. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.Copy !req
586. Just like an oyster,
you're trying to cover me upCopy !req
587. with something smooth and shiny.Copy !req
588. Pretty on a necklace,
but inside the shell,Copy !req
589. that slimy thing just wants
that scratchy thing out of there.Copy !req

than you will ever be.Copy !req
608. He has wisdom, has knowledge,Copy !req
609. which is different,
as you would know if you had either.Copy !req
610. This man deserves our respect.Copy !req
611. Fuck respect.Copy !req
