Mouse of Horrors

We are so lost.

You realize that, right?

I have no idea where we are.

There's a water.

That's where he said his boat would be.

He said Pier 47.

I haven't seen any numbers, have you?

I'm really thinking this was a bad idea.

I'm tired and I'm cold.

Molly, come on. We're almost there.

It is not that much further and I don't wanna go by myself.

You up at the bar.

He didn't even notice me.

What?

He gives me the creeps anyway.

I don't know.

I thought he was kind of cute, you know?

Like a John Oliver type.

Are you crazy?

He's like 103 years old. - Yeah but he's also rich.

Oh, yeah.

Did he tell you that? - He's got a boat, Molly?

Last time I checked poor people owned boats too.

Yeah. Name one.

Okay, listen, let's just go have a drink or two,

see how it goes.

And if we still get creepy vibes, we just bail, okay?

Creepy vibes?

All there are is creepy vibes around us.

Will you just show some guts and follow my lead?

Fine.

Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll have some coke, right?

At-a-girl.

No way. Is that the boat?

He said he was a doctor so he's probably rich.

And I'm in the market for a sugar daddy.

So, let's just go.

One drink and then we are out.

Agreed? - Agreed.

Let's just have one drink.

Try to relax and let's have some fun with it, okay?

- Okay. - Come on.

I don't think there's anybody on board.

Is there anyone here?

Are you in there?

Hello!

Are you in there?

Hello.

It's us, Dana and Molly.

Are you in there?

Hello?

I think we have the wrong boat, Dana.

We've gotta get out of here.

Oh, my God.

Oh my God.

Oh my God!

Oh my God!

No! No!

Well folks, as we near the top of the hour,

it's time for the sound of the underground

to fade out for tonight.

And tonight with that fade,

I wanna thank Madam Nevaria

for joining us to talk about urban legends and...

I'll tell you a lot of stories.

Some of them are true.

Since I'm from the States originally,

I want to tell you an American story.

- The story is about- - Uh, it's not a great story.

I was on the beach once when I was 14.

And I got attacked by flies, this big.

Are you sure they were flies?

Not kidding.

They chased me into the water.

- Why? Why? - I don't know.

I didn't do anything.

I got into the water. I went underwater.

They waited up top for me.

- Really? Were they bees? - Oh, maybe.

Thought they were flies.

Yes, I think bees actually might do that.

You're making me think.

Anyway,

it wasn't a very fun experience.

Can I talk to you about something actually?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sure, let's talk.

I feel really nervous about going to the States.

For sure. I'm nervous too.

I was nervous when I moved to Europe

but it's a normal country.

Obviously, it's like, really far away.

And I'm used to us being at home.

I'm used to you being at home.

Wish you were going to stay there.

Selfish part of me wishes you weren't leaving,

but you have to. - I know, I wish I wasn't.

It'll be good for you and you're strong.

I think you've got more faith in me than I do.

But look, you're gonna go, you're gonna be successful.

You're gonna come back.

Look at your own stories that you can tell me

so I don't have to tell you mine, okay?

Enough of that.

Got some good news. Take a look at this.

I got the new cover art from my new book.

Just arrived today.

It's even better than I thought it was gonna be.

Mouseboat Massacre.

Is that that, it's like a man mouse

who's like sails some boats and eats kids legs.

Look, when I'm done,

every household is gonna know about the mouse.

The only problem is I don't have an ending yet

for the story.

You say that every time.

Yeah, but this time it's different.

- Why? - This time,

I'm losing my muse to Southern California.

I know.

Well, I'll be back in a few months of break, okay?

Look, there are universities at Durham,

at Birmingham, at Edinburgh.

And I can see you in four hours by car

instead of 20 hours by plane.

I know, Dad, okay?

I'm leaving tomorrow, okay?

But.

Chloe, Chloe.

That's my friend, I need to go.

Sorry, love you. - Love you.

Love you.

Wake up.

You look so great!

Oh, my God, Chloe!

It's so good to see you.

Also stop leaving your shit in my place.

- Oh my God. - Or else,

I'm not gonna give it back to you.

I did wear it on a date.

- Oh. - No, we don't need

to date that anyway.

All right, they're waiting for us.

Girl, you said he's a hiker and a pilot,

I've never seen him flying no damn plane.

Like sure boy.

But, before we go in, I know you're really nervous.

The guy is from the States and you've never been,

but I don't want you to be in your head

about this like you're gonna do amazing.

I am nervous.

- Get it? - I'm excited a little bit.

- Absolutely. - But I'm just not used

to not being here with everyone.

- Yeah. - And,

I just don't feel comfortable, like, I don't know,

I'm at my comfort zone.

It's your biggest adventure though, Chloe.

- I know. - And I'm from Los Angeles,

so you're gonna love it.

If you love me, you're gonna love that, so

Are you gonna miss me?

Hey babes,

sorry I'm so late. - It's okay.

I couldn't get anything to go right today.

Well, everybody's waiting inside, so.

- Everyone? - Yeah, they've been waiting.

- Okay. Let's go, then. - Let's go.

You two are gonna get us kicked out of here again.

Like she said, cool it you two or you're gone.

I don't have the patience tonight.

I'm under staffed and I'm down to my last nerve.

So don't, Steph.

Right?

But how about round of tequilas from the table?

Just a little going away.

Thank you to you Chloe.

You're one of our best employees

and we're really gonna miss you.

The next person I hire,

they're gonna have some big boots to fill.

Thank you.

I will actually, genuinely, actually miss this place.

Actually.

We're really gonna miss you too.

Actually, I'm looking for a job if you hire me.

And my shoe size is a 10 and a half.

So why don't you get an application form on the way out?

I'll see you.

So did you guys hear. Trying to put any good word for me.

Will you?

- Okay. - I mean, I'd hire me.

Oh mate,

I'd hire you too just to fire you and watch you cry.

Anyway.

Has anyone heard from

they're super late again.

Shit, they're always like hanging out,

they start to piss me off.

Should I, should I call them now?
