Cry of the Owl Page #4

Oh, f***.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- We are going for a walk in the woods.

- Who is we?

Me and some friends of mine.

And you.

I don't know about that.

Why? You have

some place better to be?

No. It looks like it's gonna rain.

No, I heard, it's gonna clear up.

Are you gonna tread

on my happiness, Robert?

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm fine.

If you don't mind, we're gonna keep

going, we don't want to keep stopping.

Oh, sure.

You guys go ahead.

I don't think your friend likes me.

Who Susie? No.

Well, you just broke up with Greg...

and then you bring along

this total stranger to meet them?

Can't you see how that looks?

I don't care how it looks.

We're friends now, right?

Hey, Jenny, Bill,

I'm just gonna take a breather!

Jenny's pretty fit.

Yeah, well, she's

a lot younger than you, isn't she?

- I love Jenny, she's a great girl.

- Yeah, she is.

I just wish she wasn't

such a dumb romantic.

What's so bad about that?

Well...

Romantics believe in love at first

sight and all that bullshit?

I think people who lose their hearts

too easily are never very happy in life.

- Do you know Greg? Her Ex?

- I don't, no.

He's such a nice guy.

I saw him the other day

and he's a mess.

Has no idea why Jenny dumped him.

And she hasn't told us very much

about you.

I don't even know how you two met.

You guys! The sun's going down!

It's beautiful!

Well, we should get going,

I guess.

God it's like heaven up here.

Isn't it great?

Since I've broken up with Greg,

things seem different somehow...

more colourful, more real.

Do you know what I mean?

Do you?

No? Ah, what am I saying...

No, I know what you mean.

It sounds nice.

I'm the opposite.

I'm just sorry, I...

I walk around in a daze sometimes,

you know, like I'm still asleep.

It's like I'm in a bubble

or something.

Be nice to get back

to the real world.

Well, bubbles can burst.

Look, I haven't been totally

honest with you.

I'm kind of married.

Kind of?

Yeah, I'm...

I'm getting a divorce.

Oh. So it's okay then.

I really don't think

it's a good idea.

I think it is.

Hey, how are you guys

doing tonight, huh?

What is wrong with you?

- Hey, Robert Forrester?

- Oh, Jesus Christ...

Is that right?

Is that right?

Yeah, we've not met.

I'm Greg. Greg Wyncoop.

- Stop it, Greg.

- Shake my hand, a**hole.

- Shake my f***ing hand.

- Are you out of your mind?

Who the f*** is this guy? Huh?

Jenny, I think I'm,

I'm gonna... leave, okay?

- No, Robert, you don't have to go.

- No, Robert, you don't have to go.

Hey! Stop it! I mean it!

I will never speak to you again.

I'm gonna go, okay?

I want to go, Jenny.

It was nice meeting you, Robert.
