The Last Winter Page #2

House, let's have a look.

Hey, Elliot.

- Oh, geez.

- Oh, f***.

He just took a little elbow.

He's got a little blood.

Dawn! Let's get him inside

and get him fixed up.

All right. Come on.

Bring him up slow.

You're gonna be alright.

You okay?

Ready for the big meeting today?

Sure. What's it about?

Well, he flew in to talk

to you, basically.

Sounds ominous.

You would think everything

is ominous.

Wasn't this supposed to be

a one-night stand a month ago?

I think you should hear him out.

He's got a lot riding on this.

This is not a fair conversation.

Let's go, Abs!

I'll be, I'll be right there!

- Does he know?

- I'm not so sure.

He sees what he wants to see.

Hey, man, forgot your stuff.

Thanks.

It's weird. You almost don't need

your gear, right?.

Yeah, right. I just ought

to take it, just in case.

Hey, have you ever been out

to the KIC Well?

Yeah. I mean, yeah... That box?

I mean I go by it on my way

to sight 7, you know.

- Right.

- What's under there?

A pipe, with a valve on it.

Why?

- What's under that?

- What?

Nothing.

Wait, you saw the North video.

They talked about it.

Yeah, I watched it.

Yeah, whatever.

I'm gone for what, five weeks?

And she hooks up with this guy.

Jesus, I thought Abby

was smarter than that.

Hoffman's cool. He's a sharp dude.

I saw some of his articles.

Some deep sh*t man...

put me right to sleep.

It's just bad judgement on Abby's

part. You know what I'm saying?

- She's too young for you, Ed.

- Hey, take it easy, will you?

Hoffman heading out.

How long have they been at it,

Abby and him?

I don't know man, ask her.

Can you hand me that Allen

wrench, will you, Boss?

How long?

It won't last,

I'll tell you that much.

I guess he just got lucky.

Here's his thing.

You wanna check it out?

EARTH NOW!

NUCLEAR WASTE!

THE REAL COST OF OIL

BY JAMES HOFFMAN

This guy's seen it all, hasn't he?

That's him.

Thanks for the Allen wrench,

by the way.

North thinks they can win

a P.R. campaign hiring greenies...

to do the impact statements.

It's a waste of money, you know?

The public is with us on this.

They can see the potential, they

don't need to get bogged down with...

a lot of hand-wringing.

He thinks there's something

off-kilter going on out here.

Is that what he's telling everybody?

Yeah. The permafrost is melting.

That's what he says.

Haven't you smelt it?

F***ing dick!
