OK. Well,why don't you and l|get together after work?
We'll go through his files.
l don't think so.
l need to see his contracts,|papers,you know.
lmpossible.|His agent was a total buffer.
We don't even know|where Cane lives.
What do you know?
For about a year|before he disappeared...
his work became erratic,|bent, more bizarre than usual.
He became convinced his writing|was real, notfiction.
Then the work stopped coming.
l need to know|if he's alive or dead.
And l need that book.
We've delayed publication|as long as we can.
His fans are getting|really restless.
This sh*t really sells,|doesn't it?
More than you'd imagine.|Surprised?
We f***ed up the air,the water,|we f***ed up each other.
Why don't we finish the job...
by justflushing our brains|down the toilet?
Why don't you try|reading his stuff?
See if you can get it.
Got any on tape?
You want some,too, buddy?
No, relax, Robby.
Look, it's a scam,|of course it's a scam.
You see...
all this strange behaviorfrom|people that read the books...
and the agent|going nuts and so on...
lfigure it's like|mass hysteria,you know?
lt's like, um,|it's a pop phenomenon.
lt's a craze. lt'll pass.
lt's this year's Hula-Hoop.|Something like that.
Yeah, my God, it's freaky.
No, it's a setup.
l just have to work out|how it's set up.
lt's just a matter of time.
You,too?
God, l've had heartburn,|tell me about it.
Sporadic riots continue|to hit Eastern cities...
and reports of violence|from Boston and Philadelphia...
are now coming in.
Police continue to describe|barely coherent witnesses...
horror novelist|Sutter Cane's latest novel...
''Hobb's End Horror.''
Many officers have been|physically attacked...
and more than|three hundred eighty people...
male andfemale, have been|jailed in New York County.
Two officers in Boston|were hacked to death...
amid jeering crowds|in an attack last night.
What is this horrible,|unexplainable madness...
that is gripping our lives?
What in the world is happening?
l can see.
Now we have an editorial...
Excuse me?
He sees you.
Great. Uh...
Tell him l say hi.
Oh, hi, Robby. Yeah.|Yeah, not a lot.
l picked up some of|these Sutter Cane books.
l've been reading them.
Well, it--
Pulp horror novels.|They're all pretty familiar.
They all seem|to have the same plot.
Slimy things in the dark,|people go mad...
they turn into monsters.
The funny thing is that they're|kind of better written...
than you'd expect.
They sort of get to you|in a way.
l don't know|if it's his style of writing...
or his use of description|or whatever, but--
No, don't be silly.
Do you want some,too, buddy?
