Dreamcatcher Page #2

Remember we were gonna

go see him that weekend?

- I remember.

- Then I got hit.

I gotta tell you something weird.

The night I got hit, I was standing there

and across the street, I saw Duddits.

Just like he was that day

we first saw him back in Derry.

He was calling out for help

and everyone was ignoring him.

Then he looked over at me.

He looked directly at me.

And he motioned for me

to come to him.

You believe I saw him, don'st you?

Yes, sir, I do.

Duddits loves me, I know that.

He loves us all.

He would die before

he'sd ever hurt us.

So why was he calling me

into the street to get hit?

Maybe there's more to the story

we don'st get yet.

- You don'st know sh*t.

- Name it!

I'sll name it after we come up

with a small wager.

- 50 bucks.

- What's the subject?

In the movies, when people

wake up together...

...they immediately start kissing

and going at it.

But they never get up first, take a leak

and brush their goddamn teeth.

Which is pretty much necessary

when you wake up.

What's it called when

you got a constant woody?

- You mean priapism.

- See? I'sm practically priasmic.

Priapismic.

- Whatever! It's hard.

- That's what you'sre betting on?

I can name the one movie where they

acknowledge the scuzzy facts of life.

- I'sll give you a quarter.

- A quarter from you. 50 bucks from you.

- Promised Land.

- Promised Land? Never heard of it.

Meg Ryan and what's his name?

Reefer Sutherland.

- Kiefer.

- From, I don'st know,1988 or something?

So Meg Ryan wakes up in the morning

and says, "Where's the cat?"

And he says, "What cat?" And she says,

"The cat that sh*t in my mouth."

That will be 50 small.

- Bullshit! You made it up.

- Could Beaver make that up?

You can have that priceless piece

of cinematic trivia absolutely free.

I'sm filing that in the "Who-gives-a-sh*t"

section of my memory warehouse.

- What's the memory warehouse?

- You don'st remember?

- I must'sve forgot.

- You forgot?

- Just remind me. Don'st give me sh*t.

- It's in his head. We'sve all got one.

- Hasn'st that place been condemned?

- Not yet.

It's so crowded I throw something out

every time I learn something new.

When I got my new laptop I had to

throw out my files of rock 'sn's roll lyrics.

My warehouse was washed away

in a flood about 10 years ago.

I didn'st know they had enough beer

in Maine for a flood.

Jonesy, if that really

is your name...

...what do you do with the old files?

- I burn them.

- You threw out the "Blue Bayou" lyrics?

- No.

No, if I really can'st

let go of something...

...I sneak it back to an office

where I keep my secret stuff.

Where do you keep

the stuff on Duddits?
