The Tall Man Page #2
don't you, Douglas?
Give me another hit there, Beth.
I was sitting back there
listening to you tell us your...
Your life story.
Yeah, well, all I'm sayin' is,
you aren't here to catch a ghost, right?
Noted.
I'm just making conversation.
I hear that.
Cheers. Cheers!
Yeah.
Ladies. Gents.
The dark knight is back.
TRISH:
Arrived this morning.He's already on his fourth cup of coffee.
Short black, no sugar.
Well, he's got to sit up all night in his car.
Hi, guys.
- Hey.
- Hi, Julia.
He's going to start messing about,
making his bullshit rounds
and all that for what?
You mean Dodd?
DOUGLAS:
I mean Sherlock Holmes.CHESTNUT:
Yeah, like clockwork.The last kid disappeared
two months ago.
Won't be long before the next one goes.
Dodd's back on the trail.
What difference will that make, huh, Julia?
This town's already finished.
Yeah, I guess everyone's feeling pretty down.
Tell me about that.
- Mrs. Johnson.
- She's gone.
Oh, I haven't seen her in weeks.
CHESTNUT:
Sweet Jesus!She looks even worse than before.
She wouldn't mind a cup of coffee.
She wouldn't mind a winning lottery ticket.
For you, Mrs. Johnson, from Trish.
Don't you want it?
I think it might do you some good.
- (DOG BARKING)
- STEVEN:
Whoa!I know I might have blacked out last night
celebrating the birth of my baby boy
but I know I didn't order up no nurse.
Good morning to you too, Steven.
What the hell you doin' here?
Just picking up the pieces.
Really? And who do you think you are?
I know who I am.
And what the f*** that's supposed to mean?
I'm talking to ya.
What? What, do you want to hit me too?
Stay out of our business.
I know. Like you care about your bike.
(LAUGHS) I don't like your style.
Now, may he rest in peace,
your husband left behind
some pretty big shoes to fill.
After all, he was a doctor,
you're just a nurse.
Stick to changing diapers
and get off my back.
(SIGHS)
- Hey, Tracy.
- Hey.
- Come on in and take a seat.
- Thanks.
So how is that sweet boy?
Oh, it's okay actually.
I sent them away to my sister's in Seattle.
She's got a big house and you know,
they're close to everything
and they're just kind of better off.
Carol's in no shape to travel, Tracy.
Yeah, but they made it there fine.
Okay, Julia, look, I still
got to make a living, okay?
I got a job interview in Kaslo in 45 minutes.
Good pay, good job, good tips.
I can't be here all day to help Carol, okay?
You gotta understand me.
Yeah, I get it.
No, you know what? I gotta hold on, Julia.
No, honestly.
Honestly, Trace, I understand.
You want me to make you
some coffee or something?
He's still here?
