come on. yes it is. let's not. we'll just go home and we'll wait it out. let's not. don't give up. i mean nothing has happened to us. she'll probably be at the boat waiting for us when we get there. let's not be naive about the earthquake. it's a good sign. that's what saved us. the first time you feel sexual you see fate all around you? is that what you want? i have the feeling that that's dad's only motive. they think we are selfish. they think we should procreate. do you have a church key? i'll. i want to cure my passive aggressive personality. from now on when i want something i'm going to ask for it. i'm going to learn how to be more observant of signs and consider how other people might need clearer signals from me. i think i know what's going on here. you guys believe in fairy tales don't you? this reminds me of the tempest where the rightful duke is robbed of his kingdom by his evil brother. and the evil brother puts the good duke and his daughter out to sea in a small boat to die. and at the end of the story. you two are going to jail. what do you say next? big brother. orwell! no, no, that's too recent. and it's raining and hailing and lightning's striking and you guys think that i'm dead, but i'm not. i'm really back in the big island with my daughter. and you know what we're doing. playing chess, and having a picnic! i've been sleeping a lot lately. yeah. uh huh. more in the boat. likewise. a dry hole. i scattered them for their own protection. and it doesn't bother me because any animal, no matter where it starts, turns out the same. the ones you were wearing the night . is there anything about halloween in edgar allen poe? i guess it's about time. it was starting to bug me. you can stop living out of suitcases and fix the place up? what's that supposed to mean? i'm in the same situation you are. moving or sitting still is the same thing, they're everywhere. i think we can stall the government until the next gubernatorial election. if anything happens to me you should take the train east. we both came from the west. i think we'll be heading that way. we've had a good life. we've been lucky. all these extra years are for stories. there's nothing left to do except to see how we fit into them. i thought we were going to drop that. how should i know? you'll know what to do when the time comes. good. do you have the time? do you mind if i ask you a question? why are you her right now? why did you come up just this minute? is this the bus you always take? you're late! why are you late? nothing caused you to be late? well, what is the job? you mean the bodies? oh. the body watcher. oh, no. okay. i want to meet people. no, no. if i work at night i'll meet people during the day. see, i don't sleep much at night. go ahead. that's good. number 12. i dunno. not yet. i see something here! is that why you came here just now? i walk to get rid of my headaches. i'll meet you outside. come on. there's a gas leak. i don't smoke. sure. it's all right. it'll be over soon. what? what a beautiful day for an earthquake. i don't own a car. i walk. yeah i walk. out of town. a couple of hours out of town. yeah, like palm springs out of town. this makes me happy to know. we i have to go now. loser. you're such a loser. you have terrible taste in clothes! all your taste is in your friggin' mouth! you don't want to have anything to do with her. i survived. i'm thinking about starting over in la. i like it there, i've met some people i like. i'm happy for the the first time in years. how much? have you heard from marie-nSLASHEDOel? i think i should get up there.
