Waitress: What can I get you?
Alex: Listen, I got 12 hours to finish this book. I was
wondering if I could sit here and write all day.
Waitress: Be my guest.
Alex: Thanks.
Connelly: Nancy. I was going to ring you. I'm afraid there's
a bit of problem up here.
Nancy: I have to go on a job interview, so I'll take care of it
later.
Connelly: Oh, that's okay. I'll ring the rug man. Good. Knock
it in. Knock it in. Good. I don't want to slip and break me
neck.
Connelly: No, we wouldn't want that. This is the problem area
here. It's loose as a Dublin whore. Oh, go on, knock it in. Yes!
Now, just knock it in. Go on, knock. Come on, use some elbow
grease.
Nancy: Aah! Okay, I will.
Alex: You threw her down the stairs?
Nancy: No. But I imagined it. And I Liked it. I'm evil. I'm a
horrible, horrible person. Thank you.
Alex: Come on, she's practically ruined our lives. It's
perfectly natural to have thoughts like that.
Nancy: Really?
Alex: Yeah. I mean, I've even had a couple.
Connelly: Aaaah!
Nancy: Like what?
Alex: Just, you know, snapping her neck or electrocuting her.
You know, just beating her to death,
decapitating her, drowning
her, bludgeoning her, in a humane way... dicing her up into little, little pieces
. But asphyxiating her first, so she didn't feel anything.
Nancy: I'm glad you clarified that. You're evil, too.
Alex: I'm finished. That's what I am. And it was incredible.
The last 60 pages just
poured out
of me.
Nancy: Let's open that really great champagne and celebrate. |
