Rose Red Page #2

---

-Mr. Waterman... |- Emery, please.

And a generous one since there've been|no phenomena in Rose Red for years.

Since they stopped the tours|and took away the fresh meat.

Forgive me,|but I find that ridiculous.

The funding for this is|coming out of my pocket.

And 5000 is all I can afford. So,|what do you say, Emery? In or out?

I'm in. But if you want a videotaped|debriefing afterward, I get extra.

Fine. Memorial Day weekend.|Mark your calendar.

You send me a check, Joyce,|and I will. Good day.

Putz.

Poisoned?

Guess not.

Emery.

Emery.

Hey, whoever you are...

...save the warnings for someone|who's not broke. Okay?

Emery! Emery!

Emery!

Here you are. There's some|more bags out in the car.

They're going out of business at|Griffin's. Everything's 25% off.

That's too much cream. You'll get fat.

- "Er."|- Beg your pardon?

Fatter. I'm already fat.

Cream clogs up your arteries.|A little's okay, but that's too much.

Get my things out of the car.|I made a killing.

- I was doing the bills just now.|- What about the bills?

They're past due.|The credit cards...

I'm very careful with the credit|cards. I'm a very wise shopper.

I'll get your stuff.

Isn't this the best bear? I'll put|him on my bed with Hester and Fester.

- What rhymes with Hester and Fester?|- Pester.

The woman who wants to investigate|Rose Red called again.

See? Something always turns up.|God provides.

- Rose Red is dangerous.|- Take precautions and you'll be fine.

Were you able to get her up to 75?

- No, she's financing the expedition.|- So she told you and you believed her.

- Wanna call her back? I've the number.|- No. A deal's a deal.

One sensible thing your father said.

Did you tell her it'd be extra|for interviews? EKGs?

- Yes.|- And no x-rays. They give you cancer.

Run and get my bags.|Then you can have your pie.

Office hours are over.|Come back tomorrow! I said office...

Extra credit, Miss Reardon?|I'll do anything.

Look great in a French maid's outfit.

- Come in, you idiot. Close the door.|- All right.

Teach, you are looking good today.

- How are you doing?|- I won't lie. It's been a tough day.

But I have a very important call|to make, so... .

This is the Wheaton girl?|The one you want?

Her sister. If you keep quiet, you can|stay. If not, then go. Get out now.

That's tough talk considering|it's my homestead you wanna explore.

But I'll be good, I swear.|I won't do that. Sorry.

- Hello? Miss Reardon?|- Yes. How are you?

I'm fine, but it's hard to keep|people away from the phone here.

- I'm on my break. Let's make it fast.|- I could call you later.

No, I don't think so. I still live|at home to be near Annie...
