The Hunting Party Page #3

---

- That's not your room.

- I know.

Then what do they do...

What do they do about Christmas time?

Look, man,

if I don't see you at breakfast,

I'm going to have NATO send a task force

to search for you.

Okay.

Good night, Duck.

Hey, hey, hey!

Duck!

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

- Hello, Duckie.

- Oh, f***!

Simon.

Surprise.

How the hell are you?

Get over here.

Been good.

Been good.

Been around.

Amazing how many

crappy wars you'll find

if you go looking for 'em.

- But you're okay?

- Yeah, sure. Yeah.

I've been getting through.

I hope you don't mind.

I raided your honor bar over there.

Purloined a few

of your little bottles of vodka.

So what else is new?

I watched you guys today

doing your report up on a bridge.

Franklin's not looking half bad.

He have some work done?

- Eyelift.

- Oh.

- But you were watching us, huh?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I was...

I was hoping maybe I could convince you

to shoot my stand-up report

tomorrow at the ceremony.

You know, old times' sake.

Yeah, sure.

You know,

I could save a little money

if I didn't have to hire

a cameraman, so...

I'm going to sell it

to the Germans or Jamaicans.

Yeah.

F***, Simon.

You know, I meant to try

and track you down.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry, Duck.

I heard rumors.

They're all true.

I got something, Duck.

Not just the anniversary,

I got a real story.

Something that could put me

right back on the map.

I thought you might be interested. Huh?

It's not like I don't want to.

I just...

You know, I'd do anything for you.

But I'm meeting this girl in Greece

the day after tomorrow,

and it's just not something

I can cancel, you know?

Just shitty timing.

I got this three-week vacation and all.

Look, but I'll still do

your stand-up tomorrow.

Look, I... I got to get out of here.

What, already?

Simon!

- Great to see you, Duck.

- Simon!

The white doves released

to denote peace around the world.

Peace especially in Sarajevo

and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Simon Hunt.

I thought you were dead.

Franklin.

You look good.

Very taut.

Duck said you were coming by here.

That's fine with me

if you wanna piggyback with us.

- I got no hard feelings.

- Oh, thank you.

Thank you, Franklin.

Magnanimous as always.

I promise I won't try to steal Duckie back.

Oh, you can't afford him.

Hell, I could hardly afford him.

Benjamin, meet Simon Hunt,

a former star with our network.

Simon, Benjamin Strauss.

Benjamin, you look young enough

to be someone important's son.

Yeah. The network vice-president's.

You know, I thought you were dead, too.

What?

Simon used to be our best correspondent

till he flamed out on national television.

Yeah. No, I remember.
