Dead West Page #2

I need a cigarette.

I hate cigarettes.

I was engaged to a girl who

used to smoke that same brand.

Well if you wanna leave,

the door's right there.

It's my apartment.

I'll smoke if I want to.

You look like sh*t, man.

I know.

I haven't had a good

night's sleep in a month.

Christ.

Has it been that long?

The police still haven't

caught that f***er.

Not a single goddamn suspect.

There's been more killing since,

mostly blondes, all...

Cut up the exact same way.

It's gotta be him, man.

I know it is.

Look, man, you don't

even know who killed her.

It could've been anyone.

I know, okay.

I looked him right in the eye.

That f***er smiled at me.

It was him.

I just...

Wish I would've...

Done something, you know.

Now she's gone.

They'll catch him

sooner or later.

They got to.

They're not doing a very

good f***ing job of it so far!

Look, man.

The news says the

killings are headed east.

I can't just keep

on sitting around

waiting for the

cops to find him.

I'm gonna follow his trail,

try and catch up with

him before the cops do.

What?

Are you listening to

yourself right now?

That's... that's f***ing crazy.

How are you even

gonna catch him?

I don't know, man,

but I gotta try.

I'm gonna follow

every lead I can

and track that f***er down.

What are you gonna

do when you find him?

Jesus Christ.

Tony, what the f*** are you

doing bringing that in here?

Protection.

Look, I know that

Charlene was your sister

and that you loved her,

but... this is crazy.

This is f***ing crazy.

Crazy or not, I'm headed east.

And I'm gonna kill him.

Whatever you do,

you gotta leave me out of it.

I don't wanna hear about it,

I don't wanna know about it,

because I don't wanna have

to call the cops on you.

You wouldn't do that.

Just be careful.

Yeah.

Right.

I'll see you, Ben.

I'll be goddamned.

They sure are

something, aren't they?

They sure are.

So what's the story with

these things anyway?

They were built as

a western theme gas station

back in the '50s.

Premium Tex,

that's what they called it.

Is that right?

Some people have been known

to call me that same thing.

So are you from Texas?

Yes, ma'am, born and raised.

Isn't that a coincidence.

Yes, they were quite

the tourist attraction for us.

Everybody came to see them.

Elvis Presley dropped

by when he was in town.

Now they just sort of

stand there, don't they?

Almost forgotten.

That is a shame.

Yeah, don't I know it.

You know, I've only sold

two cups of iced tea today.

Say, you wouldn't wanna

buy a cup, would you?

It's only 50 cents a cup,

and you'd be

supporting the church.

Well yes ma'am, I would.

Woman:
Oh that's great.

Well then here you go.
