After Dark, My Sweet

---

I WONDER WHERE:

I'LL BE TOMORROW.

I WONDER WHY:

I DIDN'T STAY

WHERE I WAS A WEEK AGO

AND A THOUSAND MILES

FROM HERE.

I WONDER WHETHER

I SHOULDN'T GO BACK.

THEY REALLY WEREN' DOING ME MUCH GOOD THERE.

IT WAS TOO OVERCROWDED,

TOO UNDERSTAFFED,

TOO HARD UP FOR MONEY.

BUT THEY WERE:

NICE TO ME,

AND IF I HADN'T GOTTEN

SO DAMN RESTLESS,

IF THEY HADN'T MADE I SO EASY TO ESCAPE...

I'VE BEEN WALKING AWAY

FROM THINGS:

FOR A LONG TIME,

EVER SINCE I COULDN' WALK AWAY FROM HIM.

HE WAS FOULING ME

AND GETTING ME:

IN THE CLINCHES.

I COULDN' GET HIM TO STOP,

AND I COULDN' WALK AWAY.

ALWAYS COMES BACK

THE SAME.

ABOVE THE ROAR:

OF THE CROWD.

THAT ONE:

WILDLY SHRIEKING VOICE.

HE'S PUNCHING

HIS BRAINS OUT.

IT'S MURDER.

IT'S MURDER.

PERSONALIZED.

THAT'S NICE.

SOMETHING LIKE THA EXPENSIVE?

I SUPPOSE WITH THE VOLUME

IT MIGHT NOT BE THAT BAD.

THAT'S WHA IT'S ALL ABOUT--

VOLUME.

YOU SURE KNOW HOW

TO SERVE A BEER RIGHT.

ICE COLD.

NICE CLEAN GLASS.

YOU RUN A PRETTY TIGHT SHIP

HERE ALL AROUND.

I CAN UNDERSTAND.

YOU'RE PROBABLY

A LITTLE TIRED.

HIYA, FAY.

RATHER WARM DAY.

REALLY DEVELOPS:

A PERSON'S THIRST,

DOESN'T IT?

HERE YOU GO, FAY.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH

WITH THIS FRIEND OF MINE,

JACK BILLINGSLEY.

BIG REAL ESTATE FAMILY.

AND, UM...

ANYWAYS,

OUR CAR BROKE DOWN,

SO I GO TO GE A TOW TRUCK.

I CAN FIX:

LOTS OF THINGS,

BUT, UH, CARS...

DARNED IF OLD:

CRAZY JACK WASN'T GONE

WHEN I GOT BACK.

I IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENED

WAS HE--

JACK GOT THE CAR

STARTED HIMSELF.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

NOW YOU'RE IN HERE

LOOKING FOR HIM:

WHILE HE'S OUT THERE

LOOKING FOR YOU.

YEAH.

DARN OLD CRAZY JACK

OUGHT TO KNOW:

I'D COME INTO A PLACE

LIKE THIS LOOKING FOR HIM.

PROBABLY:

HAD AN ACCIDENT.

IN FACT, I THINK

I READ ABOUT IT.

WHAT?

UH-HUH.

HE AND A GIRL:

NAMED JILL.

YOU READ ABOUT IT,

DIDN'T YOU, BERT?

YEAH.

THEY FELL DOWN A HILL,

AND THEIR BUCKE GOT BROKE.

THEN THEY GO THEIR HEADS BUSTED.

WELL, I GUESS

I JUST DON'T REALLY

GET THE POINT.

REACH TO THE TOP

OF YOUR HEAD?

MAYBE YOU'LL FEEL IT.

OK, MAC.

DISAPPEAR.

I HAVEN' DONE ANYTHING.

I'VE BEEN ACTING

ALL RIGHT.

YOU GOT NO RIGHT--

BEAT IT.

I SAID I WAS WAITING

FOR A FRIEND.

ALL RIGHT?

I'VE BEEN POLITE.

YOU KNOW?

LOOK,

I'M AN EX-SERVICEMAN.

I'VE BEEN TO COLLEGE.

I'VE BEEN TO JUNIOR COLLEGE

FOR 1 1/2 YEARS.

HEY, HEY, HEY.

TAKE IT EASY.

KEEP YOUR HAIR ON.

ALL RIGHT.

HEY.

GET IN.

LOOK, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

BERT'S NOT GOING

TO MAKE TROUBLE.

YEAH?

HE'S NOT GOING

TO GET THE CHANCE.

I'M MOVING ON NOW.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

BERT'S THE LAST PERSON

TO CALL THE COPS.

ANYWAY,

WE'RE NOT GOING

BACK THERE.

I'M TAKING YOU HOME

WITH ME.

HOME WITH YOU?

IT'S NOT FAR FROM HERE.

COME ON.

THERE'S A GOOD BOY.

I WONDERED WHY SHE'S

ACTING SO FRIENDLY

ALL OF A SUDDEN.

SHE WAS NICE TO YOU

ONE MINUTE,

NEEDLING YOU THE NEXT.

SEEMED TO DEPEND

ON HOW SHE FELT,

AND HOW SHE FEL DEPENDED ON HOW MUCH WINE

SHE HAD IN HER.

TICK, TICK, TICK, TICK,

TICK, TICK, TICK.

BY THE WAY,

I'M MRS. FAY ANDERSON.

VERY HAPPY TO MEET YOU,

MRS. FAY ANDERSON.

I'M HAPPY

TO MEET YOU.

IT'S A UNIQUE

PRIVILEGE:

TO MEET A MAN:

WITHOUT A NAME.

EXCUSE ME.

I'M, UH, KEVIN COLLINS.

NO.

NOTTHE:

KEVIN COLLINS.

YEAH,

I GUESS MAYBE I AM.

DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT IT.

IT'S YOUR STORY,

SO STICK WITH IT.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

YOU WAN A PIGGYBACK RIDE?

ACTUALLY,

I WAS WONDERING:

ABOUT MR. ANDERSON.

HE'S DEAD, KEVIN.

GONE TO HELL.

COLLINS.

COLLINS.

COLLIE.

MIND IF I CALL YOU

COLLIE?

ALL RIGHT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE:

CALL ME COLLIE.

THAT'S BECAUSE

YOU LOOK LIKE ONE.

STUPID AND SHAGGY
