The Killing Pact Page #3

be trapped that way forever,

there is this idea that

keeps coming back, and.

- Ah, not this again.

- Alright, alright, alright.

- What.

- Now, what if you

get a group of people

who are absolutely

sick of their lives

and you have them enter

into a pack to improve

each other's lives, no

matter what it would take.

- But what if they can't

improve each other's lives?

What if your life

cannot be improved

by the actions of

another person?

- Well sometimes, all it takes

is someone else's perspective

to improve things.

- Someone like you?

- Yeah.

- Well that sounds wonderful,

but it would be illegal

to do what it takes

to fix my life.

- I think it would be

illegal to do what it takes

to fix any of our lives.

- Illegal, maybe,

unjustified, no.

- Okay, wait a minute.

Are you suggesting what I

think you're suggesting?

- It's so simple.

Can't you see it?

Right, I help Kevin.

Kevin helps Hayley.

Hayley helps me.

- By doing what?

- Whatever it takes.

Face it, these people

are never gonna stop

making our lives miserable.

You think they're

gonna wake up one day

and see the light?

No.

People don't change.

So, I will take Kevin's boss.

Kevin, you take Hayley's ex.

Hayley, you take my Aunt Lisa.

Bam, our lives are

infinitely better, hm?

- What?

- You keep saying take,

what exactly are you saying?

- I want you guys

to think about it.

I'm just, I'm gonna

get another drink.

- It's on me.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- What's your name?

- Sorry about your ex.

Sounds like a real...

- Yeah.

- You deserve better than that.

- We just met.

How do you know what I deserve?

- Okay, fine,

let me rephrase it.

I would like for you

to be with someone

who's better than Jerry.

- I'm sorry about

your situation, too.

Have you thought about

just switching jobs?

- Yeah,

but then again, why should

I be the one to move?

- True.

- I dunno, maybe I'm just

being petty about it.

- No.

- I dunno, maybe I should

just let the past go.

Look to brighter things.

- Did you

guys want anything from the bar?

- No, no, I'm good, thank you.

- Did you

think about what I said?

- About what?

- Working together to

solve our problems.

- No, she's kidding.

- Am I?

- Okay, this is exactly

what I'm talking about.

This is what I call a classic

Melanie moment, all talk.

- Doesn't have to be.

- Okay, here's a deal for you.

If you have the guts to

first, which I know you don't,

then you can count me in.

- Don't say it if

you don't mean it.

Hayley?

- Hmm?

- What do you think?

Imagine waking up and

not having that dread

follow you around every moment.

- It would be, it'd be

really nice, but come on.
