Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World Page #3

---

You don't Iike Karen?

I couldn't possibly give a sh*t.

I'm not gonna sit across from someone

and hear all their stories,

even if she was someone I

could be interested in,

because I just...

I'm not sure that the month

between my wife Ieaving me

and the end of the world sounds

Iike good timing. Do you?

What... Hey... What are you

doing? What are you doing?

What?

What? What?

You're Warren's.

No, I'm not.

Nobody's anybody's anything anymore.

Why did Linda get to disappear?

Why does everybody else get

to do what they want?

I don't know what I want.

You can't run from this, Dodge.

Hello?

You okay?

No.

How could I be so stupid?

I don't know. I don't know you very well.

I'm never gonna see my family again.

I missed the planes, all of them.

I mean, God, it's the end of the world

and I'm still 15 minutes Iate.

I can hear my father say it

now. I can hear him say,

"Flaky and irresponsible," and he's right.

How could I do this? I put my

energy in the wrong places,

I give my time to the wrong people.

I mean, when I think of all the...

AII the holidays I didn't

spend with my mum and dad

to be with some guy I used to know.

Would you Iike to come in?

I won't steal anything

if you don't rape me.

Agreed.

My name's Penny.

I'm Dodge.

How Iong have you Iived here?

Three years. You?

I just broke up with someone.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, I mean...

You know, it was building to this.

He's just taking the night

to clear out his stuff.

I mean, it's always better to

sleep on the fire escape

than have pity sex, I always say.

Mmm.

What's that?

What? Oh, that is cough

syrup with codeine.

Splash of vodka. Can I have a sip?

Actually, I'm feeling a Iittle...

Mmm.

You want some weed?

Hmm?

Oh, no, thank you.

It's the only thing that sends me to sleep

and the only thing that wakes me up again.

I mean, seriously,

I've got a wicked case of hypersomnia.

I mean, I could sleep through

the apocalypse.

Who's the girl? Who?

Oh. That's Olivia.

Is she the one that got away?

Well, they all got away, but

she was the first, yeah.

Are you gonna go and get her back?

I'm sure she has enough on her plate.

And what is it about the end of the world

that brings them all out of the woodwork?

...there he's got it.

Yeah. He changed his mind, as he...

...doing a terrific job

of cutting him off.

Now coming from behind,

he's got him around the shoulders,

and down goes...

Oh.

I'm ready to go downstairs now.

Oh?

Wait here a tick.

Okay.

He's gone. Took my Pet Sounds with

him. I should've seen that coming.

Mmm.

So...

What are you doing with

the rest of your Iife?

Oh, um...

Little of this, Iittle of that.

Probably catching up on some "me" time.
