Look out the window.
And doesn't this remind you
of when you were in the boat?
And then later that night,
you were lying, looking
up at the ceiling,
and the water
in your head...
was not dissimilar
from the landscape,
and you think to yourself,
"Why is it that the landscape...
is moving,
but... the boat
is still?"
And also... Where is it
that you're from?
- Cleveland.
- Cleveland.
- Lake Erie.
- Erie.
Do you have any parents
back in, uh, Erie?
They passed on recently.
And, uh,
do you have a wife...
in Erie?
No.
- A fiance?
- Well, I...
I had one of those,
but, um,
she changed her mind.
- She found herself somebody else.
- No.
Yes, she did.
Well, that doesn't explain...
why you've come
all the way out here,
all the way out here to hell.
I, uh,
have a job
out in the town of Machine.
Machine? That's
the end of the line.
- Is it?
- Yes.
Well, I...
received a letter...
from the people at Dickinson's
Metal Works...
Oh.
Assuring me
of a job there.
Is that so?
Yes. I'm an accountant.
I wouldn't know,
because, uh, I don't read,
but, uh, I'll tell you
one thing for sure:
I wouldn't trust no words
written down on no piece of paper,
especially from no "Dickinson"
out in the town of Machine.
- You're just as likely
to find your own grave.
Look. They're
shooting buffalo.
Government says...
killed a million of 'em
last year alone.
Pardon me, sir. Could you please
direct me towards the office?
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
How do you do, sir?
I'm Bill Blake,
your new accountant from Cleveland.
What the heck
are you doin' here?
Well, uh, I have here
this letter...
which confirms
my position here.
Well, this letter
is postmarked two months ago.
Makes you about
a month late.
This here is Mr. Olafsen.
He's our new accountant.
I'm sorry. I think
there's been some mistake.
- Look, Mr. Black,
- Blake.
I'm a very busy man, and Mr. Dickinson
does not pay me for idle conversation.
Well, I'm sure he doesn't, but
this letter confirms my position here.
Now, I've spent everything I had
left after my parent's funeral
just to get here.
Listen, Mr. Black,
I've got a lot of work to do here,
and this ain't
my business.
I'd like to speak
to Mr. Dickinson.
No, I-I don't think
you want to do that.
I insist on speaking
to Mr. Dickinson, sir.
You insist?
- I insist.
- You insist?
Yes, I do.
Well, go on then, lad.
There's the door.
All right then.
Go on then!
Well, I will.
Hello?
Mr. Dickinson?
Who the hell are you?
And where did you get
that goddamn clown suit? Cleveland?
Well, actually, yes, sir.
I did, uh, get it
in Cleveland.
What the hell are you
doin' in my office?
Well, I-I-I came
to talk about my job.
The only job you're gonna get in here
is pushin' up daisies from a pine box.
Now get out.
Thank you
very much, sir.
Back to work,
Mr. Olafsen.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Pardon me, sir.
Could I get
a bottle, please?
We liked you better
when you was a whore.
Jackass.
Shit!
Why don't you just
paint my portrait?
I'm sorry.
- Let me help here. One.
- This one's no good. No, it's ruined.
- Two.
- It's no good.
Oh, here. Oh!
Watch yourself.
- You okay? You all right?
- Yeah.
Here. Have a drink.
Would you like a drink?
Thanks.
I'm sorry.
Would you mind walking me
away from here?
- S-Sure. Sure.
- Yeah?
I'll just get
my suitcase.
- It's that way.
- All right.
Oh, shit.
I have a sneaking suspicion that that
large man back there was inebriated.
- I was gonna say something, but I
