The Double Page #4
Is that why you keep saying things?
Maybe you should get your printer
fixed is what I'm saying.
- Are you touching my earlobe?
- Yes, I am.
Aren't you like a
million years old?
- Don't fight this.
- Harris, that's not appropriate.
Why won't you die?
Especially right now, with
the big push and all.
I'd like to introduce everyone
to our newest co-worker.
sure will be an asset.
He was the only one not fired in
the final cull at our sister office.
Even the cockroaches
didn't survive.
Well, I'll let you get
started, young hotshot.
Soon you'll have my job.
Everyone, please
welcome James Simon.
There's no need to be alarmed.
My cleaning lady's a diabetic.
We just need to jam a
cookie down his throat.
No, no, sir, I'm not diabetic.
- It's just a shock that...
- Don't worry, son.
We're not replacing you. I'm not one
of these holier-than-thou types.
Drugs can be healthy for a person.
Just leave it out of the office.
No, no, not drugs, sir. No, no.
Last night was a
mistake. And now...
Now... now this strange
man, I just...
No need for details.
It's happened to us all.
Have a drink of water
then get back to work.
Harris.
Harris, have you spoken
to the new employee?
- James? Yeah sure, I met him.
- And?
He seems all right.
But did you notice anything
strange about him?
- I mean, did he remind you of anyone?
- No.
- No one at the office?
- No.
Okay. Would...
Can I... could you...
Would... could I please just...
You can...
Thank you.
Yeah.
- Who did you have in mind?
- Me, for instance.
Oh yeah, suppose so.
You suppose so?
Yeah yeah, you look just like him.
- Yes, I do, don't I?
- Yeah, and you're not even Chinese.
- It's pretty f***ed up.
- Yes, it is that.
Now now why didn't you notice?
Well, no offense, mate, but...
You're pretty unnoticeable.
Bit of a non-person.
What'll it be?
What, do you want to go...?
Okay, no, sorry then.
I'll just have a...
Coke and a bagel.
- We're out of bagels.
- Oh.
Right, then, um...
Right. Then I'll just...
- Come on.
- Right, sorry, I just...
I'll just... I can just have
the coke then, I guess.
- A coke. And you?
- A coffee.
- A coffee.
- And scrambled eggs.
We don't serve breakfast
in the evening.
- Why not?
- Because it says so on the menu.
- Well, do you still have eggs here?
- Yeah.
- And do you have a frying pan?
- Yeah.
Then do me a favor and make
me some scrambled eggs.
- Fine. Anything else?
- Bacon.
- Bacon.
- And toast.
- And toast.
- And a beer.
And a beer. Anything else?
- No, that's it.
- Are you sure?
Just get me the damn food.
