The Double Page #2
- How?
I live in that building.
I didn't know him.
- He waved at me.
- Strange.
It's the Colonel's ball tomorrow.
Do you think you'll go?
I don't know if I'll go.
It's mandatory. Everyone has to go.
Hannah?
Yeah?
It's terrible to be alone too much.
I think it was an orange
juice. I just...
- Are they normally that rude here?
- Yes.
- Then why do you come?
You'll have to hand in your
holo-badge and blaster.
Come and get 'em.
Holster your blaster, Jack.
I like this show.
I don't mind dying.
In fact, I'm getting
quite used to it.
The way I figure it,
you only get one life.
And like they say...
There's no such thing
as second chances.
Jack, this isn't you.
Then who the hell is?
He's in your heart.
He's good and right and true.
I was lying when I said
I didn't know him.
The man who jumped?
I kind of knew him.
I'd more confronted him.
He was this person who'd been
following me around for a while,
and I'd always see him,
Like at the office, on the
subway, by my apartment.
You know, in that little underpass
thing by the apartments?
He'd just be there, watching.
And I thought, "that's strange."
But, you know, whatever.
Men look at women.
You get used to it.
But then I found out that he lived above
me and I thought, "that's really odd."
Like, did he follow me around because
he lived in the same building as me
and he got fixated? Or did he
get fixated and then move in?
So anyway, eventually I
thought, "you know what?
Enough is enough." Because it was
actually getting frightening.
Well, like a little bit frightening. It
was more annoying than frightening, so...
I went up to him and he looked
over his shoulder at me
as if to say, "who, me?"
Like he hadn't been stalking me.
And so I looked at him square in the eyes
and I said, "what do you want from me?"
And he starts stumbling and mumbling
and says, "I think I'm
falling for you."
And I said, "do you think
just staring at me
is some kind of meaningful gesture?
What exactly do you think
Do you think you know who I am?
You know, that if you
stare long enough,
I'll just turn around one
day and I'll kiss you?
Like we're going to
somehow be together?
Stop f***ing following me!"
And he did.
- My God, when was this?
- Last night.
Do you think there's a connection?
No. I mean, it sounds like he
I mean, maybe he just wanted
somebody to notice him.
You know, a person can get
really sick of just floating by.
But I attract so many weirdos.
Anyway what's your story?
- When did you move into the building?
