It's a pig.

Oh my god.

Ray, where you been, buddy?

I rang a bunch of times, but

nobody opened up and let me in.

Thought I was gonna have

to do it in the hot box.

Is your sign busted?

It says no vacancies.

Ain't no cars

in the parking lot.

We had a little trouble

here tonight, so I...

Yeah?

Somebody threw

a dead pig in my pool.

Oh lord. Now that's a new one.

At least you got breakfast

for a few days, huh?

I burned it out in the desert.

Damn Ray.

You not only feed

the coyotes and the crows,

but you just cook 'em up

a mess of ham?

You're a hell of a guy.

I gotta get back out there.

But...

But we got time

for a couple of nips, huh?

I'm good.

What did you mean

about being a new one?

Ben didn't tell you

anything, huh?

I guess he didn't say anything

'cause... 'cause

he was worried about you

getting skittish on this deal.

And... there was this girl.

This girl was staying here.

You know.

And she decided

to take a twilight swim.

But not before she cut

herself up real bad.

But Ben had nothing

to do with it.

It wasn't his responsibility,

'cause that gate was locked.

She jumped over the gate,

bled out in the pool.

Look, I gotta get back there,

I got to do my duty

to my wiener.

And then I'll come back

and we'll drink some more.

No, I'm fine, you go on.

Alright, is 10 free?

Or is that 15 now?

You have a good night, Ray.

I know I'm going to.

Tommy.

Yeah?

Nothing, forget it.

You have a good night.

Alright, Ray.

Good night, buddy.

It's a nice little space, right?

It is, it's beautiful out here.

There's the man right there.

Howard.

You been holding out on me, Ray.

You never told me you had

such a beautiful wife.

Can I bother you

for a cup of coffee?

I don't see why not.

Great. Pleasure.

- Same here.

- Hope I get to see you more.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Little pick-me-up.

Heard you had some weirdness

here last night.

- How do you mean?

- Well the boys

over at the gas station said

you peeled outta

your parking lot pretty fast.

Like you was on a mission.

Oh, yeah.

Somebody tossed a pig

into my pool.

Pig.

Did you save it?

Well, it was pretty dead

already.

I'm sure it was just a prank,

that's why

I didn't call anybody.

And where did the carcass

end up?

I took it out to the desert

and got rid of it.

I really didn't wanna

make a big deal out of it.

Well you made one, Ray.

Because the rangers found

it this morning.

Or what was left of it.

Look, if you're gonna

roast a pig,

do it in a f***ing campsite,

will ya?

I... I'm sorry, Howard, I really

didn't know what to do.

You know, Maggie

was pretty upset about it and I

just wanted to get

the thing outta here.
