Lady in the Water Page #3

---

No. Mrs...

In the bedtime story...

...she must be seen

by the one human chosen for her.

This person is called the vessel.

Seeing the narf will awaken something

in the chosen one.

If she's successful in this...

...she will return with the Great Eatlon,

a giant eagle...

...and become free.

She won't tell me more.

She said, why can't I be like

my older sister. She married a dentist.

Story?

Story?

Cleveland.

Story, could you

put something back on, please?

Are you here to meet someone,

see someone in this building?

Is somebody supposed to see you?

Is...?

L...

It is a writer.

Do you know his name?

Do you know what he looks like?

Do you know if it's a...?

A woman or a man?

Is there something

that you wanna tell me?

Is this person

writing something important?

When do you have to leave?

I can leave tonight if I meet this person.

I'm gonna help you get home.

Thank you, Cleveland.

I have to go.

Hello. L... l...

I wanted to ask you

something about your work.

Your c... C... Critic work.

How's it... How's... How's...

How's it going?

I'm seeing a romance film tonight.

Not my cup of tea.

So you... You...

You haven't written anything yet?

Haven't written anything

for some time.

You were right about that one tenant.

I spoke with Mrs. Bell.

We got along.

She's very good with animals.

You know she wrote a book?

Mr. Heep,

I will be taking the cat in directly.

Don't worry, Mrs. Bell.

Lookie here.

My, there's a lot of butterflies

around this building.

Strange behavior for them.

They're not usually so trusting.

I understand that you're a writer,

Mrs. Bell.

Now, where'd you hear such things?

Maybe I read your book.

That'd be quite a trick.

It's been out of print for 20 years.

Twenty years?

So you haven't written anything recently?

Mr. Farber has been speaking

out of turn.

Look at this cereal character's picture,

Dad.

Looks like Aunt Sylvia when she found out

everybody hated her fruit-bowl painting.

I need a nine-letter word

for "in human form."

You'll figure it out, Dad.

I...

You know, the color on this box

look just like the colors of your car, Dad.

Maybe we should take your car

and go visit Aunt Sylvia.

Incarnate.

Well, you're very good

with those word puzzles, Mr. Dury.

He's a grand-master level.

I'm gonna be just like him.

- So you like words a lot, huh?

- I adore them.

Are you... Are you writing anything,

Mr. Dury?

A book, maybe?

No, l...

I'm afraid my skills are limited

to crossword puzzles.

That's some serious reekage, man.

You don't even speak English anymore.

What, reekage? Damn straight

it's English. The state of reek.

There's no "reekage," man.

Some toker just like us made it up
