The Culling Page #3

this is my husband, Wayne.

Hey.

Sean.

(Val) So, sweet pea,

what do you say we go in the house

and get ready for bed, okay'?

Okay.

Bye, Lucy.

BYE-bye.

Bye.

So, how was the food at Chapman's?

It was closed.

Oh, yeah'?

You guys hungry?

I'm about to get my steak on.

Mm, I love steak.

Inch thick,

grass-fed porterhouse.

Uh, yeah, I mean, I think we

really should be hitting the road.

Don't listen to him.

He only thinks about himself.

South by Southwest.

Me and Val's been

there three times.

It's great music. You

ever been there before?

Uh, yeah, I've been once.

Are you 420 friendly?

Psst, you kidding?

That's like his area code.

[laughing]

Look, I apologize for

my wife, but, you know,

we all have moms, right'?

(All) Yeah.

(Wayne) Anyone want a beer?

Yes. (Emily) A

beer sounds great.

Besides, a little bit of buddyness

never hurt anyone either.

All right. So, you've

really been three times'?

(Emily) So, how did you

guys end up out here?

(Wayne) Well, we, uh, we owned

a day-care center in the city.

We were doing pretty good, we

were making some good money,

and providing a great service

for the community. And...

One night, someone decided to

set the whole place up on fire.

Yeah, our whole life burned to

the ground, just like that.

The world's a crazy place.

It sure is.

We wanted to start over,

and her father lives out here.

Yeah.

You know, and we

didn't want Lucy exposed

to all the funky stuff

going down in the city.

That's a song.

What'?

That last part you just said about the

funky stuff in the city, that's a song.

[laughs] It must have

been in my subconscious.

Anyway, that's how

we wound up here.

Well, I like it.

I like you two.

You know?

I like how you're out here,

living off the land.

Hey, I think he's kind

of cute for an older guy.

(Sean) I mean, you get it.

You don't have to deal

with any of those, uh,

d*ckheads in the city.

Some different idiot

around every comer, right?

Yeah.

[growling]

Stop.

Emily, I love your bag.

Oh, gosh, thank you.

Where did you get it'?

Um,

it was a gift.

Well, it's very stylish.

(Emily) Thank you.

[growling]

So, I saw all the toys

out in the front.

Are guys still running

a day care'?

Yeah, sometimes.

I mean, you know, Wayne takes

the odd job here and there,

and we just do whatever we

need to to get by, you know.

[eerie growling]

( Tyler) Man, these

bugs are crazy, man.

How can you get used to this?

[Lucy's voice]

Don't be mad at me.

You can? Run away

without legs.

Besides, I would find you.

[laughs]

Ah, well.

I guess she's awake.

[chuckling]

I'll be right back. Can I get

anyone anything while I'm up'?

How about another six pack'?
