R.I.P.D. Page #2

---

You want Julia.

No. You asked me to help you,

and I'm here to help.

You really don't think

I can read you?

I know everything there is

to know about you.

Don't squander

this opportunity, Nick.

I know for a fact

you can use a good

recommendation on

Judgment Day, okay?

I think you're smelling

what I'm selling.

Any more questions?

What's with

the Steely Dan?

Noidea.

It's always playing.

t seems to relax people.

Let's do this.

Yes, let's.

This Will tickle a bit.

What the...

Clench 'em

and get over here.

Hey,

are you my lawyer?

Settle down!

This is holding.

We call them "Deados. "

Until they pop, they

look like regular people,

so no one except us knows

they're monsters inside.

You see, if you

slip through the cracks

and stay on Earth

after you die,

your soul rots.

If they rot,

the world rots.

Global warming, black plague,

bad cell reception, get it?

Without the R.I.P.D.,

the world would

have been overrun

by these dead people

some time in 1954.

How is staying

an option?

A hundred-and-fifty-thousand

people die every day.

This system wasn't designed to

handle that kind of volume.

Welcome to the big league.

R.I.P.D. Boston.

Before you are the greatest law

officers who ever lived and died.

We're the third biggest

precinct in the force.

What's the first?

Boca.

R.I.P.D. Scottsdale

does a lot of volume, too.

Trust me, chest hair is

making a big comeback.

I'm telling you,

chicks dig it.

It's a lot to take in

on your first day dead.

But don't worry, your partner

will explain it all to you.

No! Get your

hands off me!

I said,

getyourhands

off

me!

Come on, Roy.

Oh, you come on.

Just because I'm the only

one willing to lethal-up.

Oh, Jesus.

No, you Jesus!

Roy!

What?

He was going for the door.

I'll plant a gun on him if it

makes you feel any better.

Would you like to take this

up with Eternal Affairs?

We both know what this is

about, don't we, honey pot?

Not the time, Roy.

Why not have it out now?

I'm comfortable.

Roy, meet your new partner,

Nick Walker.

We've been over this before.

I'm a one-man operation.

Not a choice, Roy.

No. You gotta earn that.

Come on, rookie.

Grab your huevos.

Please follow

all posted regulations.

Department hygiene regulations

are for your benefit.

Tuck on in.

Don't be shy.

Goin' for a ride.

You ever think about hiding

this place a little better?

When was the last time

you got a VCR repaired?

Point taken.

That's right,

you're back.

Don't wet your pants

over it. Come on.

Don't wanna be late.

Proctor likes to

start you off

with some closure.

Get in!

Disappointing

turnout, huh?

Expected more.
