in my store again.

Oh. And, Marty.

[UPBEAT SYNTH MUSIC #]

- I don't normally do this.

- What're you gonna do?

- No, I mean I don't normally do

what I did back there.

I'm not about to do anything.

Oh.

Well, this is my stop.

This is where I... take the bus.

Okay. Okay.

Thanks again.

Sure. Yeah.

See you around.

Okay.

- Hey, you hungry?

- Yes!

- 'Cause I could eat.

- Sounds great.

I'm Zoe Rezillo.

I'm Marty Huckhound.

Nice to meet you,

Marty Huckhound.

So, if I wanted a plate that

said, "Screw you,"

you wouldn't let me?

No, too offensive.

Plus too many letters.

I don't have a car anyways.

People try stuff

all the time and

the computer spits out

the obvious stuff,

but it's up to me

to catch the rest.

- Did you go to

college for that?

No, I was standing in line

once at the DMV

and this guy in front of me

was trying to get a dirty plate.

So, you um, ratted some guy out?

No. His plate said 4-K-U.

You know, fork you...

and I was complementing him and

then the supervisor came over

and handed me the job

on the spot.

Wow. That's impressive.

People used to make fun of me

for playing Scrabble

all the time.

What's the dirtiest,

filthiest thing

anybody has ever

wanted on a plate?

I have to write it out for you.

- Okay.

- Okay.

I don't get it.

Okay. Get rid of the space.

And then picture

how the 5's can look like S's.

Oh. Ass-orgy. That is filthy.

Oh. You wanna see

something cool?

Is it cooler than ass-orgy?

[LAUGHING]

I'll show you what

your name spells.

Okay. That's Marty Huckhound.

Dormant. Yuck. Huh.

Dormant yuck?

Okay. Wait. Hang on.

A mucky hord hunt.

A mucky thud horn.

Okay. Wait. No. Don't go away.

Got it.

Had mucky no hurt.

What the hell is that

supposed to mean?

I don't know, but Mucky is my

new name for you.

You're real smart, huh?

Only with words and letters

and stuff.

Nothing terribly useful.

No. I'm useless.

I can only curse

in one goddamn language.

But you do it so well.

Wow. This is kind of dangerous.

I love it here.

Especially in the winter when

it's covered in ice

and the

water is practically black.

It's dark and eerie,

but in a really beautiful way.

You know, if you slip and fall,

even in March,

you're pretty much dead.

And anyone who jumps in after

you, they'll die too.

Every now and then though,

you hear these stories

about kids

who fall in for like

twenty minutes...

...and they end up living,

because their body temperature's

have lowered so much...

they're in like a zen

state or something.

Does that work on adults, too?

I don't think so.

I think they know too much.

I remember the first time I came

here when I was a teenager.
