taking any chances!

He never raised a hand to me.

He never hurt anyone in his life.

Ms. Winston...

everybody has a secret face.

Coffee break.

Sweet dreams.

Where did he die? What was

the name of the town?

It was a place called Midian.

Someone's taken the body!

Is it always the same dream then?

No, sometimes it's like I'm, uh...

I don't know.

It's like I'm underground.

I'm in Midian, in a place full

of monsters, being tortured by them.

Are you buried alive?

No. Not a lot.

But you're conscious?

Y-Yeah, but not alive.

I'm dead but I'm still functioning.

Death is the end, Boone.

But in Midian, I live forever.

So maybe death isn't the end, Doc.

- What'll it be, darling?

- Yeah, uh, draft.

Draft coming up.

I'm looking for a

place called Midian.

You're not the only one. Bunch

of TV news folk passing through,

ever since they nailed that

baby slasher up there.

- Baby slasher?

- Yeah, been a hell of a week for us.

Took 30 shots to bag that sucker.

What is it? Men or money?

Whenever I cry,

it's usually men or money.

A man.

What'd he do? Leave?

- Not exactly.

- Well he didn't come back, did he?

That's even worse.

Some loser gets a crush on you,

you could throw him in the river,

tie him to a piano and he'd come back

faster than a dog with a bone.

Why I bother to look so good when

there's no one here to admire

the end product is beyond me.

Know what I mean?

Yeah, I can't argue with that.

Do you want a drink? I want a drink.

You know, I've seen men go to

a lot of trouble to get rid of a girl

but uh... I've gotta say this is

the first time I've heard of a guy

doing it when he was dead.

They think some sick

bastard stole the body.

So, what, you want to go check

out the place where he...

checked out?

I guess it's just a

way to say goodbye.

I loved him, but you know...

I don't think I ever

really understood him.

Well listen, I'm not doing anything

really important tomorrow.

In fact, I'm not doing

anything tomorrow.

Why don't I drive up to this

place with you and check it out?

- You don't have to do that.

- I know I don't have to do it but I want to.

OK. Thanks.

- I guess I'm gonna have to go.

- Yeah, you go get some rest.

I'm gonna stay down here and

see if I can find me a good time.

Who knows, maybe one of

these jerks will win the lottery.

Good luck.

Compliments of the gent

in the corner by the door.

Well, isn't he just the

picture of sophistication.

You'll enjoy this. No, really.

You hit me again and I'm

gonna rip your face off.

It's just a way to say

welcome to the club.

I'm not so sure I want

to be in the club.

You found your way back here

for the same reason I did.
