April Fool's Day Page #5

- Who wants to know?

- Damn it, give me a straight answer!

We saw him at the boat house,

drifting in a boat.

He wasn't moving.

He looked dead, unless he was joking.

- If it was Skip...

- I saw his face.

Look, has anybody seen him

since last night?

Jesus Christ!

- We'll look for him. Come on.

- I'm coming, too.

What's happening?

Is something wrong?

Skip! Hey, arsehole!

- Hey, Skip!

- Wait a minute.

Look at this.

Skip's knife.

Think it was that guy on the ferry?

I don't know.

I don't know what to think.

I say we look for them.

One of them's got to be around.

- You mean split up?

- Yeah.

No sucker's taking me yet.

I know why you're avoiding me.

This is your idea of a joke.

That's why you invited me here,

isn't it?

How did you find out?

From his preppy friends?

I don't know

what you're talking about.

You mean the tape just got there?

Just appeared?

You know, I thought you wanted

to be friends.

Skip!

Skip?

Skip?

Any sign of Skip?

No luck here.

- Where's Arch?

- He was with you.

- Sh*t! That's it!

- I don't like this.

- I definitely don't think I like this.

- It's time to call the police.

8248. Constable Potter

has an office at his home.

Who wants tea?

Lt'll relax our nerves.

Is she kidding?

I didn't know what kind anybody

would like so I brought them all.

Here, let me help you.

I'll get some water.

- Has he reached the constable?

- We haven't reached the mainland yet.

Oh, the main.

- It's probably broken.

- There's no water?

- What's happening?

- There's no water!

It happens sometimes.

But there's still the well.

I'll go. Point me in the right direction.

Not without me.

I'm not worried...

...about those two.

Skip and Art.

They're probably playing

some kind of stupid trick.

Yeah. Probably.

Is that it?

When she said well,

she really meant well.

Who dug this? Pocahontas?

Let me do that. I've probably

had more experience than you.

You mean back home on the farm?

I know you think I'm a hick, but I'd

like to change your mind about that.

Why?

Because I would really like

to plough your field.

Draw me some water.

- Oh, crap!

- What happened?

- I lost the bucket.

- Harve.

Hal! The rope was rotten.

Any fool could have seen that.

- You didn't.

- Would you shine the light down there.

- Nice going.

- So I spazzed out. Now we're even.

What do we do now?

- Look, there are rungs down the side.

- So?

- So get a move on.

- Are you crazy?

I don't relish the idea

of a weekend without water.

Well, I'm not going down there.

OK, fine.

- Wait! What are you doing?

- What does it look like?

I don't think you ought to do this.

Nikki...

Harvey, I'm a big girl now.
