Uncle John Page #2

What is this?

What... what's happening here?

I don't... I don't get this.

You know, I'm glad

that you decided to come here.

I mean, um...

I mean, New York is fine,

and it's a fine place to live, but if

you're gonna work there, it's dead.

There's nothing going on there, and

I mean, that's doubly true for L.A.

I mean, if you see something that's

bad, you know it's from New York.

If you see something

that just sucks ass,

you know it's from L.A...

It's been that way for years.

Yeah, I'm really excited

to be here.

Oh, it's good. I mean, there's

gonna be opportunity here.

Frankly, a lot of these folks

that you see here, you know,

they haven't worked out like

I thought they were going to,

but I got... I got a lot

of hope for you.

I got a lot

of confidence in you.

Thank you, thank you.

I'm really excited.

I know, it's great.

Are you moved in and everything?

Do you like where you're

staying?

You like where you moved?

I really like my place.

- Yeah, yeah, good, good.

- The rent's great here, too.

Gonna need a coat.

It gets colder than hell here.

- Right, yeah.

- Colder than New York...

A lot colder.

Yeah, I bought some coats.

Yeah, a big f***ing coat.

Yeah.

Mm, boots, too,

because the snow

is just... god damn, it snows.

My farmer the other day.

He's telling me,

got to do this with the margins,

got to do that with...

What the hell

are you talking about?

- Got to be kidding.

- Isn't he 12?

Fellas.

John.

Say, where did you mention Dale

was getting his nutrients now?

Some new formula

that's cheaper or something?

Cheaper? No.

Better, yes.

It's the research

they're pitching, anyway.

I don't know... he's got

some new rep coming by.

Why?

My margins are sh*t.

I got to do something different.

Thanks, Franny.

Well, bend Dale's ear.

He's deep into something.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen.

Afternoon. What's blowing

up your skirt today?

Uh, no, nothing like that.

There is a bit of commotion

this morning, though.

Franny?

Sheriff just got back from up

by the dam there.

They found Dutch Miller's

rowboat spinning around up there

this morning, full of gear,

but no Dutch.

Damn fool probably got drunk

and fell in.

No, not anymore... not

with his new holy roller thing.

The charlatan just probably

skipped town.

Oh, well, look, I don't know.

I don't know about that.

But his old lady

put in her report, too.

Apparently hasn't been home

in three days,

so they're dragging the lake

right now.

Hell, that's...

Well, that's too bad.

He burned down Merlin's barn.

What?

15 years ago.

Yeah, 15 years ago, he got drunk

and burned down Merlin's barn.

Carl, what in the hell
