Find God.

Maybe move around some chairs.

Well, maybe I'll run into

you at a support group

or an orgy or something.

Yeah, that sounds nice.

Uh...

What's that?

That's your mail.

Why do you have it?

Oh, you know how the mailman

would sometimes put the mail

in the wrong box? Uh-huh.

Well, over time, say Iike... Well,

three years, I mean, it...

God, it really adds up, doesn't it?

Isn't it funny? I mean, how we've Iived

so close and we've never said hi.

Oh, but I did meet your

roommate a few times.

My roommate? You mean Linda?

Linda. Linda, right. And her boyfriend,

what was his name?

Oh, God, they seemed so happy

together. What was his name?

I haven't seen them in a while.

Are they all right?

What was his name again?

I forget.

$8.50.

Come on.

Give it to me! I'll hit it!

F***, yeah! Hit it!

What started as a few individuals

acting out

has quickly escalated into a massive riot

sweeping through the streets of downtown.

If we could show the live footage, Dory?

Dory?

You see people using every

available weapon,

looting, smashing windows,

setting fires, and in some cases,

attacking one another.

With the Iack of police presence,

we are seeing people with

nothing left to lose.

They appear to be moving off Main Street

and heading towards Division Avenue,

where residences and businesses

are more at risk.

And perhaps it's only a matter of time

before the city is too

dangerous to inhabit.

Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Okay. Okay.

Oh, Sorry. Okay. Good, Sorry. Here we go.

Come on.

Penny?

Penny! Penny?

Penny! Who the f*** are you?

Oh, sh*t! I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm Dodge, I Iive upstairs.

I've never seen you before.

We've run into each other a few

times, but that's not...

I'm pretty good with faces.

Anyway... Obviously, there's

a riot going on.

Maybe you heard the screaming,

smelled the burning.

If you could just wake up Penny,

I think we should get out of the

building as soon as possible.

Jesus.

You're f***ing her, aren't you?

What? No... What? No, I'm...

No. I'm not.

Oh, I knew it!

I knew it.

F***! I knew it!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Sh*t!

Okay, all right.

Penny! Come on, here we go. Wake up.

There you go.

Hey! I decide when Penny wakes up!

This isn't what it Iooks Iike.

I broke my hand, baby.

I hope you're happy. It's my guitar hand.

Aren't they both your guitar hands?

Penny, there's a small riot brewing

and we need to go, right now!

She's not going anywhere with you...

Would you please just stop?

We all need to go! Come on! Here we

go! Here we go, guys! Come on!

My hand! My gift. Will you just

Iook at it? I broke it.

This is the guy?

I can't believe you want this
