Weekend Deadaway

When someone says the names Ted,

Jack, Jeffrey, or even John Wayne, what is it to you

if anything is being scared?

For many, it's merely hearing the worst

of the infamous serial killers' names,

or possibly it's thinking about the way

they brutalized and killed their victims.

And may god rest their souls.

But for others, it's a simple fact

they looked and walked among us freely.

Hello!

Man, it's dusty!

(motor revving)

Hey, what the fuck is that?

Did you see that?

I don't know, get the fuck out of here.

What the?

Okay, he's gone.

Holy fuck. (Panting)

Oh fuck!

Oh god!

(blade squelches)

(blade squelching)

Hey babe, how was work?

Yup.

That bad, huh?

Yup.

I'm sorry I didn't plan for dinner tonight,

but I thought maybe we could order in.

Sounds great.

Surprise me.

Oh my god.

He was dead the entire time?

Holy shit.

Yeah.

I did not see that coming at all.

God, how is it we've never seen this before?

I don't know.

It's pretty good, though.

Though I did notice that his sweater

didn't change each day.

I don't know, I guess I catch on pretty quick, right?

You do have a sharp eye for things.

Maybe it's all those true crime novels that you read.

See?

Not just entertaining, they're educational too.

As a matter of fact, I'm actually just surprised

I made it through that entire movie.

But,

these days and these weeks,

they're just dragging by.

Mm.

Uh, I'm gonna go put on my nighty

and get ready for bed.

Sounds good.

1-90 will be closed until further notice.

Update on the breaking news at 10 p.m.

The escaped cannibalistic deviant

from Partial Pine Penitentiary

is believed to be somewhere

Oh, uh, the newest book in your crime series came today.

Like you'll ever catch a killer.

You never know.

You know they say that you walk past a serial killer

at least twice in your lifetime.

Really?

Hmm.

How do you know you don't sleep next to one every night?

Because I'd be dead already.

Mm.

Okay, I've got a scenario for you.

You pick up a hitchhiker

You never pick up a hitchhiker.

No, no, no.

You never pick up a hitchhiker.

Wait, just listen.

After he gets in the car, the hitchhiker says,

"How do you know I'm not a serial killer?"

So the driver says, "What are the chances"

"of two serial killers being in the same car?"

Yeah, um, I never really thought of that one, so,

yeah, I-I mean I guess anything's possible.

Yeah.

Oh well.

On that note, goodnight.

Goodnight.

Jesus.

You scared the shit out of me, babe.

I'm sorry, but you should be sleeping,

not wandering about.

I don't wanna.

I don't wanna go to sleep.

'Cause once I'm out, the alarm goes off,

and then it's the same bullshit over and over again,

and I'm just tired.

I get it.

It's a tough time for a lot of us.

I was talking to Zoe the other day,

and she was telling me that Christian's company

is being sold off.

The entire division may be shutting down.

He's not sleeping well, either.

So it could be worse.

Much worse.

So let it go.

Come back to bed.

Okay.

At least it's not Monday.

Yeah.

But a Tuesday, nonetheless.

God, it feels like we are working our lives away.

All work and no play makes me wanna pray the day away.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Also doesn't help that I work for Karen, so.

Karen?

I thought her name was

Karen.

Her name is Karen.

Whiny.

Bitches about everything, and just terrible boss.

We should do something.

Go somewhere, right?

Plan a trip.

Anything.

Hmm.

I've got some place we could go.

Yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Down south.

You know I can't be late for work.

Mm-hmm.

I do know that.

You better get going.

You're using up all my hot water.

Chop chop.

I really don't care if I'm late.

I mean, they'd just suspend me,

and then you know what,

we could go where we want, right?

I'm sorry you hate it so much.

Let's make a plan with the group.

Grab drinks or something.

Yeah.

Yeah, we could check out that new bar in Bucktown.

What's it called?

It's called, uh(snapping fingers)

- Uh. - Telly's Tavern.

There we go.

- Yeah. - That's it.

That sounds like a plan.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's do it.

It'll be just what I need

to get through these days.

Something fun.

Something to look forward to, you know?

What, that rustle-tousle didn't help earlier?

Is that not something you look forward to?

Your friction therapy does wonders.

Mm-hmm.

Good morning, Luca.

Somebody's in a chipper mood today.

Yeah, let's just say it was a great morning.

Oh?

Atta boy, yeah!

Mm, that's what I'm talking about!

I love that.

Yeah.

Nice.

You, uh, you finish those reports, though?

I can, quarter doesn't close til five p.m

- on Friday, so. - Ah.

- I got time, you know? - Procrastination.

Yeah.

You're playing with fire, man.
