Fay Grim Page #3

and tells me Ned's been caught getting a blow job

from these two 16 year old girls right down

the hall from the Principal's office.

Now he's expelled.

Wait a minute. Back up.

They actually said Henry's dead?

When? Where?

Berlin, Germany. Two days after he ran away.

And you believe them?

They're the CIA, Simon.

The Government of

the United States Of America.

God! Get with it.

Do you have the package from Angus?

They think there was an accomplice

at the airport.

- You mean, besides me?

- Yes.

There was no accomplice at the airport.

But you didn't actually see him

get on the plane, did you?

Well, no, not exactly. But...

What wouldn't he have gotten on the plane?

He was running away.

That was the whole point.

Maybe he had, you know, second thoughts.

Maybe he felt all at once the... the ahh...

What?

Forget it Simon,

you've got to get out of jail.

I can't handle all this on my own.

Ned needs a father figure or something.

What do you want me to do, escape?

You might be eligible for early parole

on account of your good behavior.

Ask.

I won't be eligible for another couple of years.

We can't wait that long!

They'll send Ned to reform school.

He'll be in prison before he's...

...old enough to get a driver's license.

Look, if you need anything at all,

just ask Angus.

She's got a date with him.

What?

He's taking her to the theater...

...and supper and stuff.

Calls her all the time.

Evaporate.

See you later.

You're dating my publisher?

You got a problem with that?

Simon.

I spent a lot of time

and money tracking this book down.

I'm fairly certain it is book

six of Henry Fool's Confession.

If it's for real, keep it with you.

It's safer there.

I'm beginning to think

your suspicions are correct.

I chose not to tell Fay everything.

Perhaps the less she knows the safer she'll be.

We'll talk soon.

Yours, etc. Angus.

I want Simon released from prison.

That's not as easy as it sounds, Fay.

The Governor's gonna kick and scream...

...if the feds try to negotiate his release!

You understand, don't you, Carl?

I mean, he is up for parole soon.

Years from now. Forget it.

Carl, go take a walk in the rain.

Bye Carl.

Leave him alone.

He likes me.

That's his problem.

I won't cooperate unless Simon

is released from prison.

Ok. We'll see what we can do about your brother.

But I'm not promising anything.

Now, will you do it or not?

What do you want me to do, exactly?

I mean, what's this all about?

That's not how it works, Fay.

We tell you just enough

for you to complete your mission.

Then, if all goes well and

we decide to move on, we tell you more.

It's called plausible denyabilty, Mom.
