Sunset on the River Styx

Stop requested.

Have a good one.

Have a good one.

It'd be great to know when you're coming next time.

There's a schedule at every station,

same times every day.

You don't exactly follow it.

I don't control traffic.

Prick.

Have a good one.

Afternoon.

No, no, no, no... if I want a nice meal,

I'll go to someplace nice,

but if I want fast food, I'll go to McDonald's, sure,

but I'm not gonna to go to one of the dine-in only ones.

McDonald's is fucking McDonald's, man.

What's the difference?

Right, and McDonald's is supposed to be

cheap, fast, and scummy.

They... They give me a full meal in two minutes

'cause it's all gross, pre-cooked garbage.

And if I want that, great.

But if you have to go inside, the cashiers, the managers...

they all start thinking they work at a real restaurant

instead of the french-fry shoveling industry.

Stop requested.

...irresistibly drawn towards the source

and then get trapped.

Fuck that shit, bitch!

Bitch is gonna die.

Bitch!

Die! Fuck! Fuck!

Fucking bitch.

Bitch is gonna... die! Stop requested.

The Coast Guard reported several tankers ba...

S-S-Stop r-r-r-reque... que-que-que...

que-que-que... quested.

Yeah, that is scary.

I'll tell ya, I am tired of this BS

they got going on down here.

One day, you up and you're making a lot of money,

and then the boss comes in and says,

"Hey, I'm snatching that route from you."

What do you, you know?

Hey, don't complain about the routes.

Yeah, you guys are lucky.

I'm stuck here for another, what?

10, 20 years picking up crazy passengers for shitty money?

I'll tell you what, let me tell you this.

I had a homeless guy get on the other day,

and he was just talking out of his head.

He was just, like, way out there.

He also said... uh, God, um...

Yeah, that actually happened to me the other day...

Wait a minute, I just remembered.

He said it was night terrors.

Night terrors? He's talking about he was...

he was tossing and turning in the bed,

talking about night te-terrors and the Boogeyman.

I said, "I got your Boogeyman.

Boogie your butt off of my bus."

Too many zombie movies.

Yeah, like they're all gonna come and eat our brains.

Stop!

It's worth it, though. You know what? It's worth it.

Afternoon.

Afternoon.

Strange.

What's strange?

Y-Your bracelet... it's, uh, it's interesting.

It's different than the other ones.

Thanks.

It was my grandmother's.

That's a cool gift.

I wish.

She wasn't really into gift giving.

I took it when she died.

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.

Don't be. Grandmothers die.

Everybody dies.

They stink. I don't like it here.

Like it here... I wish I were back up north,

where people are friendly to each other.

I like your accent.

Thanks. I like yours.

...like some kind of weirdo.

This is... This the worst fucking bus service

I have ever driven on.

I hate this place.

And I hate all of you.

You. You ever bathe?

Asshole.

Sir, um, can you quiet down please?

I can't stand being on this bus.

Jerk.

Tell you.

Hey, you're disturbing the other passengers.

Shut the fuck up.

Sir, please calm down and be quiet... Or what?

...or I'm going to have to ask you to step off the bus.

Fuck you, bus driver.

I'm the customer here.

You get paid with the money I pay in taxes.

Fuck off.

Shut up, man!

What is your problem, asshole?

I'm just trying to go for a ride.

I'm trying to get to work.

Sometimes, I wish I could punch these people.

Why don't you?

Sir, please step off the bus.

Oh, fucking make me.

Sir, I will call the authorities, so please...

I got all fucking day. Sir.

I don't want to make these people wait for you,

so just please step off the bus, sir. Fucking asshole!

Fuck you all. What's your problem?

You're my fucking problem.

Alright, you know what sir? Yeah?!

I am calling the authorities on you now, alright?

I warned you once, but...

Hey, I just wanted to have a nice, relax...

I said get out of the seat.

Exit the bus. Get off of me, asshole.

Is that S.O.P?

I've never done that before.

Well, that was awesome.

Stop requested.

This is me.

Hey!

What's your name?

Ashe.

Hey, Ashe, do you maybe, uh... do you... do you maybe

sometimes, you wanna hang out with me

or, we, you know, get together sometime togeth...

together?

I'm sorry, I'm... I'm having a weird day.

Sor... I apologize, I'm... Sure.

Um... How's Thursday?

Yeah?

Yeah, that's great. Thursday's great.

I mean, yeah. Sure, cool, that'll work.

Alright, well... Let me give you my number.

Right.

Okay, cool. Yeah, Thursday. Yeah.

I got some stuff to move around, but it'll... it'll work out.

Alright, I look forward to it, Will.

Are you okay?

Uh...

Yeah, sorry. I was...

I was just remembering something.

Um... What was I saying?

Oh, uh...

I don't know.

I wasn't listening.

Oh. Just kidding.

You were talking about a Chinese guy.

Right, this... so this Chinese philosopher,

um, he proposed that one couldn't know

if a fish was happy or not unless one was a fish.

Okay.

Well, you know,

I don't think these fish are happy, to be honest.

Yes, that's... that's a correct statement,

but also, um...

how would you know unless you were a fish?

I guess I don't. Right.

Well, in all seriousness, I think he's right.

You know, the lack of objectivity,

the lack of perspective...

it's kind of what causes war and genocide.

I think about that a lot.

Uh, damn, that's...

And then I go on Facebook because fuck it,

I mean, who cares?

You know, I-I feel like we have a lot in common.

Other than being two miserable, lonely,

disappointing mammals?

Shackled by mediocrity and afraid to die.

Yeah. I guess we do.

Wow, you... you think I'm mediocre?

Isn't everybody?

You're not.

I disagree.

Hey, I-I wanted to say thank you for, um, having my back

the other day on the bus.

Yeah.

No problem.

You know, I don't think I hit somebody since I was a kid.

Yeah?

Were you picked on?

I guess I was like a tend to strike first kind of person.

Yeah, I was, uh, I was aggressive as a kid.

Too many violent video games?

Yeah, or... or maybe not enough.

I mean, what else do you do besides being on Facebook

and, uh, pondering war?

Uh...

I write poetry and I draw.

Oh, cool. Uh, poems. Th-That's cool.
