You know, the number 10 key

was in the overnight drop box.

Good, we can double-sell

the room, she was all paid up.

You're really taking

to this aren't you?

Mm-hmm.

- Ray.

- What?

Nobody's watching.

What are you doing?

What do you think that's about?

I don't know, probably nothing.

I'll be right back.

I gotta say, this is a first.

Sorry?

Not smelling Ben's coffee

as soon as I step in here.

He always had

a full pot right over there.

I'd be glad to make you some.

Yeah, that'd be wonderful.

Howard Kellor, welcome neighbor.

- Ray, good to meet you Howard.

- And you.

Um...

- That's a start.

- Plug it in.

I'll... I'll be right back.

Not going anywhere.

What does he want?

I think he just wants to

welcome us to the neighborhood.

Seems like a nice guy.

So old Ben finally went

and sold the place.

Only swore he'd do it

for six years.

You a friend of his?

Me? No.

No. We only met after

I answered a Craigslist ad.

No sh*t.

You usually run hotels?

No, I'm an electrician.

Carpentry,

whatever I can get my hands on.

I just wanted to try

something different, you know?

Sure, I mean, why this?

Well, I guess sometimes you just

need a change of scenery, right?

Yeah, I hear that.

Yeah, I hear that.

Hey, I don't suppose you know

where Ben ended up, do you?

I don't, and I can't even

get him on the phone,

- his number's been disconnected.

- Yeah, and you know what,

people around here are

just funny about that.

They just up and leave without...

There's this RV city

down the road, and they do

that all the time.

Just suddenly, boom, gone,

you're like...

Well I mean, was there something

you need to see him about?

No, no. I just wanna stay

in touch with him.

Well, don't worry Howard.

Every morning I'll be sure to

have a fresh pot here for you.

Well, that sounds like a deal.

Oh yeah.

Well hey, I won't bug you, I

just wanted to poke my head in.

And listen, if you ever need

a hand around here,

I know it's the off season,

and now's the

time to get stuff done,

you just come to me first.

- Will do, thank you.

- Yeah.

Oh and hey, if you

ever do hear from Ben,

you get his mailing address

for me.

- Sure thing.

- Alright.

Ray.

Mm, that feels good babe.

You deserve a night off.

Officer, I repeat,

I am fine.

I only had a little bit

of wine with dinner.

Oh, then walk a straight line.

And maybe some whiskey.

And a beer or two.

Don't shoot, don't shoot.

Mister, you've been

a very bad boy.

And you're gonna finish what

you started by that pool today.

- Uh-huh?

- Yeah.

Well first I wanna get us

a couple more drinks.

Okay. Copy that. Hurry up.

Ray!

Ray!

It's a body, Ray.

Ray.

Ray, what the f*** is it?
