SO YOU HAVE TO SPRAY IT DOWN

REAL GOOD, SEE?

ALL OVER.

HERE.

YOU TRY.

NO, UH...

NOT TOO MUCH.

SO, HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?

WELL, IT'S PRETTY EASY, AS I

FIGURED.

OH, SO THAT'S WHY YOU WANT

THE JOB HERE.

YEAH, AND IT'S ON MY WAY HOME

FROM SCHOOL.

OH.

WICKENHAVEN HIGH?

YEAH.

SO, SHOULD I FILL OUT AN

APPLICATION TODAY WITH YOU?

I DON'T HAVE ANY.

WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN A, UH...

FAMILY-OPERATED BUSINESS.

OH.

BUT THERE MAY BE A POSITION

OPENING UP SHORTLY.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT A LITTLE

MORE ELBOW GREASE, AND I'LL...

I'LL RUN THE IDEA BY THE REAL

BOSS... MY WIFE.

A LOVELY LITTLE HIGH-SCHOOLER'S

HERE.

SEEKS EMPLOYMENT.

AND?

I'M CONSIDERING HER.

A PRETTY YOUNG FACE BEHIND THE

COUNTER'S WHAT WE NEED.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO HIRE

STRANGERS.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

I MEAN, YOU COULD USE SOMEONE,

MAYBE, BUT NOT AS AN EMPLOYEE.

IS SHE FROM OUT OF TOWN?

IT WOULDN'T MATTER.

WE COULD JUST KEEP HER IN THE

DARK.

I SAID NO.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE A SOFT

SPOT FOR THE CUTE ONES?

BUT SHE COULD BE A MAGNET TO

PULL IN THE OTHER CUTE ONES.

I'M CERTAINLY NOT DRAWING

THEM IN.

THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR

YOUNG, INNOCENT FLESH.

OKAY, IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GONNA

HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ONE,

JUST TO GET YOU TO SHUT UP ABOUT

HER.

DAMN IT, JOAN!

WE COULD AT LEAST OFFER HER A

FREE TAN FIRST!

WE REALLY NEED TO FIND A BETTER

METHOD.

PLEASE, LINDSAY?

YOU TOLD ME TWO DAYS AGO THAT

YOU'D COME.

NO. I REFUSE TO BE THE THIRD

WHEEL SLEEPING UNDER THE SAME

ROOF AS YOUR SISTER.

SHE ALWAYS FLIRTS WITH ME, AND

IT'S REALLY AWKWARD.

AND SO IS HER NEW HAIR COLOR.

SHE KNOWS YOU'LL NEVER SWING

THAT WAY.

CAN YOU PLEASE STILL JUST COME?

I MEAN, IT'S REALLY MEAN A LOT

TO ME RIGHT NOW.

I'M SURE IT'D MEAN A LOT MORE

TO HER.

WHY ARE YOU ACTING SAD AND ALL?

YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS GUY.

YEAH, BUT, I MEAN, HE'S STILL

FAMILY.

JUST DO THE FAMILY THING

WITHOUT ME AND BRING ME BACK

SOMETHING COOL.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT KIND

OF STUFF HE HAS.

AND I TOLD MY SISTER THAT I'D

BRING HER BACK SOMETHING REALLY

NICE.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, I'LL PROBABLY

JUST GO AND BUY HER SOMETHING

BECAUSE HE'S NOT GONNA HAVE

ANYTHING GIRLY.

WHY?

WASN'T HE YOUR GAY UNCLE?

THAT'S JUST FAMILY GOSSIP.

AND EVERYONE JUST ASSUMED HE WAS

GAY BECAUSE HE NEVER GOT

MARRIED AND HE NEVER HAD A

GIRLFRIEND... THAT ANYBODY

KNEW OF.

SO, HE DIED A VIRGIN?

APPARENTLY.

CAN THEY TELL THAT FROM AN

AUTOPSY?

EW.

OH, MY GOSH.

THAT REMINDS ME... MY DAD IS

MAKING ME PICK UP HIS ASHES

TOMORROW WHEN WE GET THERE.

EW.

WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS NOBODY ELSE REALLY

CARES.

HELLO?

HI.

OH, HI.

CAN I HELP YOU?

YES. I'M HERE TO PICK UP AN

URN.

SURE.

SARA.

WHAT IS IT, GREG?

I WAS RESTING MY EYES.

SOMEONE'S PICKING UP.

MM. SURNAME?

UH, NUNEZ... ARLO NUNEZ.

CHECK THE BOOK.

IT'S IN CRATE 43.

NO FUNERAL, NO MEMORIAL.

IT'S IN THE LOT.

CERTAINLY.

IT'LL BE ONE MOMENT.

UM, SO, DO I GIVE YOU THIS?

OH, NO, DEAR, IT'S BEEN TAKEN

CARE OF.

OKAY.

UM, SO, WHERE'S THE MAIN PART OF

WICKHAVEN?

IT'S WICKENHAVEN, AND YOU'RE

STANDIN' IN THE HEART OF IT.

THIS STRING O' STORES HERE, IT'S

BASICALLY OUR SHOPPIN' DISTRICT.

RUMOR HAS IT WE'RE GONNA GET AN

OLD NAVY AT THE END OF THE

WINTER.

SO, WHAT AROUND HERE WOULD BE

THE BEST PLACE TO GET SOMEBODY A

GIFT?

A GIFT?

YEAH, LIKE A SOUVENIR OR

SOMETHING... SOMETHING CUTE AND

UNIQUE FROM THIS TOWN THAT YOU

CAN GET AT, LIKE, ANY OTHER

RANDOM PLACE.

MM. SOMETHING UNIQUE, YOU

SAY?

I SUGGEST VIRGIN LEATHERS ACROSS

THE STREET.

YOU CAN GET ONE THERE.

ONE WHAT?

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT.

OH, THE MAKER OF HIGH-END

DESIGNER PURSES.

BASICALLY WHY ANY FOLKS COME TO

THIS OL' GHOST TOWN.

HERE.

OH. THANK YOU.

SO, YOU'VE BEEN TELLING HER

ABOUT VIRGIN LEATHERS?

YES. THE BEST HANDMADE

HANDBAGS AND ZIPPER WORK YOU CAN

EVER FIND.

IT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET,

RIGHT THERE.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GO

TAKE A LOOKSEE, DEAR.

GO ASK TO HOLD ONE AND FEEL

IT.

THE TEXTURE JUST CAN'T BE

BEAT.

MNH-MNH.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, IF MY SISTER

ISN'T BACK FROM GETTING GAS,

I'LL... I'LL GO CHECK IT OUT.

MM-HMM.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

BYE.

IS... IS THAT THE

"TEENAGE WITCH" GIRL?

IT SURE IS.

HOLDING, WHAT I BELIEVE, WAS HER

FIFTH CUSTOMIZED PURCHASE.

HMM.

THAT ONE DID TURN OUT

INCREDIBLY NICE.

WE CATER TO MANY CELEBRITIES.
