Where the Skin Lies Page #2

Didn't we talk about this

in therapy?

[WOMAN] No,

tattoos didn't come up.

Do you wanna

see something creepy?

Ta-da-da-da!

Yeah, alright, then,

what are the odds?

- No, I mean...

- That is so...

I mean, no, quite literally.

So what are the odds

of this happening?

I mean, you know,

it's the exact same style.

- I mean, it's the same six.

- What are you getting at?

Well, this is some kind

of joke, right?

I mean, what,

trick the scientist?

Well, go on, then, mate.

Show us yours.

No, I'm too old for a game of

"I'll show you mine

if you show me yours," mate,

and for tattoos.

So you're trying to tell me that

apart from Elsie and I,

who got this done together,

the rest of you

decided independently

to get this particular tattoo

done in this style, hmm?

Well, apart from Mike.

- Serendipity.

- Yeah, right.

Now, I'm not stupid.

OK, I'm going to get the rest

of my luggage from the car.

Here's to a delightful weekend

in the country.

You know the weird thing?

I didn't even want a tattoo.

I get talked into it

by some bloke in the pub.

[YELLS]

And this never did come up

in therapy, did it?

Reunion, yeah. Tattoos, no.

- Are you OK, Edward?

- What?

Oh, sure.

Oh, cramp.

Or carpal tunnel or something.

I don't know.

This is all so bizarre. Why

would we all have the same idea?

The place we got the tattoo,

what was it called again?

I can't remember. It was

some awful pun with "inks."

[ALL] Jinx!

Jinx. [GIGGLES]

'Cause we all said

the same thing at the same time.

So, we all got the tattoo

at exactly the same place

and dare I assume with the same

unsavory tattoo artist?

She was rather creepy.

Right, well, that's it.

I'm calling this lady.

I'm all for practical jokes...

Actually, I'm not.

Well, what does it matter?

It's nice, no?

Damn. It's... It's dead.

I... Did I forget

to charge the phone?

[RAY] Well, I just charged mine.

Oh, weird. It's dead too.

So's mine.

What a day.

I told you

we should have stayed at home.

This is getting ridiculous.

Well, I'll just go get

my charger from the car.

- Didn't you get the bags, Eddy?

- What?

No, I, um, must have forgotten.

The doorway effect.

You forget things when...

Don't play amateur psychologist.

It is drafty in here, isn't it?

- [SCREAMS]

- What is it?

- What happened?

- It's my back. It hurts.

Uh, it felt like

a whole bunch of,

I don't know,

needles or something.

- [WOMAN] Take a look.

- Ray?

- Does this hurt?

- No.

I thought you had a tattoo

with a six in it.

- Yeah.

- That's a five.

Don't be ridiculous.

I mean, tattoos don't change.

- This?

- No, it doesn't hurt anymore.

- It was just a sudden pain.

- But...

She may have asked for a six,
