I know who you are.

And I think that I've found your vessel.

You know what I'm talking about, right?

He's outside.

Do you need to see him alone...

...or does he just need to see you?

Cover yourself up.

Hey.

Mr. Heep, I know I sent in that form.

- I gave it to you on the stairs.

- Okay.

- My sister's all angry at me now.

- Well, I'll check again.

By the way, this is my friend, Story.

Hi.

Yeah, you were right. Here it is.

Great.

You all right? You look a little...

I'm feeling a little funny. It's nothing.

Is it a pins-and-needles kind of feeling?

Yeah, kind of.

Yeah.

Maybe you should go lie down.

Nice meeting you.

I'm so very happy we saw each other.

You don't have to leave right now,

do you?

I have to go finish a couple of things.

I'll be back.

Is that okay?

Your words are very beautiful.

Your heart is very big.

No one knows about my family here.

Please do not bring it up again.

Coming.

Sorry I'm late, Mrs. Bubchik.

It's... It's been a long day.

Come on.

Listen, he's on the toilet.

He's been having some gas issues.

Don't tell him I told you.

L... I thought the toilet was broken.

That's why I came.

He may just be looking in the mirror.

I mean, he's got this growth on his ass.

Don't tell him I told you.

Honey, Cleveland's here.

He's come to fix the toilet.

Tell him I had it fixed already.

I called the plumber this morning.

- Don't let it hurt his feelings.

- Right.

It's... It's... It's okay.

I should come when you call.

It's my job.

What if that thing's out there?

It'll try to get you?

There are laws. It will be safe.

I'm allowed to leave this night.

- How long do you think?

- It is time.

You must not watch.

Am I not allowed to watch you leave?

I won't watch.

Thank you for letting me wear

your beautiful shirt.

You keep it.

What happened?

Okay. Okay.

Hey. Calm down. Calm down.

How'd you get those scratches?

Did the eagle come?

Did something go wrong? Story.

Story. Was it that dog again?

What's happening?

I thought it was gonna be safe.

Your face doesn't look right.

Are you okay?

Mr. Heep is here. He has a friend.

She's beautiful.

She's not feeling that well:

So she's lying down in my room.

Why is she here?

Why isn't she at his place?

Well, she got sick

in the stairwell downstairs.

She's wearing no clothes

under his shirt.

Blim-blam.

Mr. Heep is a player.

- I hope it's all right.

- It's fine.

Do we need to take her to a hospital?

- Oh, no. No, no, no. That's f... F... F...

- Fine?

Thank you.

No, she just needs some rest.

She can stay here

as long as she needs to.

You started writing again?

Yeah.

I'll be right back. Okay?
