Nothing Page #3
get a piece of our pie.
All we have to do now is sit back
and watch the place sell itself.
What's going on up here?
Come on!
Packy-packy!
- I don't know if I can do this.
- Sure you can.
Think about it.
Stretches of empty beaches
going on for miles and miles.
No phones, no cars, no freeways,
no people. No one at all.
Is this your suit?
Well, we'll get you a new one
when we get there, huh?
[Doorbell]
OK?
You're here about the house.
- As a matter of fact, I am.
- Newspaper ad, or the sign?
- The newspaper, actually.
This is for you.
- So you've already
written a number down
on a piece of paper?
Why don't you take a look at
the offer, see if it's acceptable.
- Oh my God!
- That good, huh?
Let me see.
What the hell is this?
- It's a notice of demolition.
You have to vacate these premises
or be forcibly removed.
- What? Why?
- We're tearing it down.
- The house?
- Who's "we"?
- The city, in accordance
which states that no area may be
zoned for residential purposes
within 100 yards of a freeway.
This house can't be here.
- But it is here.
- But not for long.
- This is my house!
You can't just take it away!
- We would pay for it...
- Right.
- But our records say
this address doesn't exist.
- Of course it exists!
- Not according
to our records, see?
- Well, if it doesn't exist,
how can you tear it down?
- Because it's in violation
You have until 3:00!
- Today?
You can't do this!
- Sir, this house is a hazard
to vehicular traffic.
It has to go.
- Oh...
Maybe we should call a lawyer.
- Don't be stupid!
- Or...
I don't know. Uh...
Sorry.
[Phone rings]
- Don't answer it!
It's probably them!
- What are we gonna do?
- I don't know. I'm thinking!
[Doorbell]
It's not 3:
00.- It's not 3:
00! It's not 3:00![Phone and doorbell]
- Stupid pencil-pushing bureaucrats!
Listen, pal!
- We're here
to tear down your house.
You ladies got any beer?
- No. And if I did,
I wouldn't give you any!
Can you believe that guy?
[Phone]
Don't answer it!
[Doorbell]
Listen, pal!
- Dave Johnson?
- Yes?
- You're under arrest.
For embezzlement.
- Oh. Hang on a sec,
let me just get my horse.
Sh*t!
- Embezzlement?
[Phone]
- It's nothing.
- This is the police!
Come out of the house!
- Sh*t! Sh*t!
- What'll you do?
- I don't know! I'm thinking!
- We know you're in there, Andrew.
- What did you do?
- Nothing!
- This guy is going to rot
in f***ing hell!
- I didn't kiss her!
I didn't kiss anybody!
- Fire!
[Phone ringing]
[Coughing]
[Doorbell]
- Stan!
It's OK, Stan.
[Coughing]
