The Lawnmower Man Page #3

You have no idea of what

I'm going through, do you?

My work is falling apart,

and you decide to leave me.

It's dead for both of us,

so why don't you give it up?

Good-bye, Larry.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Mother of God,

pray for us sinners...

now and at the hour

of our death. Amen.

Big Red.

Booting audio journal.

May 10 entry.

Recording.

Oh, Jesus...

this hiatus

is driving me insane.

When I think of what

I might have accomplished...

with a human subject.

I've got to find a way to

continue the work on my own.

There's so much to do.

I can't wait any longer.

Full.

Hi, Jobe.

Hi, Dr. Angelo.

How are you?

Looks like you're working hard.

Yeah. I'm a real hard worker.

Jobe, do you like to play games?

Yeah. Peter says

you have the best games.

I have a game in my house that

you might like to play.

Would you like that?

OK.

Remember, one of the

4 shapes on the bottom row...

You see them down there?

Matches one of the shapes

on the top row.

So put your finger on here...

and move that shape

to the question mark, all right?

Incorrect.

Try again.

OK, here we go.

There.

There.

Incorrect.

Don't worry.

Take your time. Here we go.

Correct answer.

You did it. Very good.

Let's play another game.

Come here, Peter. Come here!

I'm going to get you, Peter.

All right.

Look at that!

Let's go.

Watch out! Holy moley!

Come on, Peter. Slow down.

I'm going to hit the wall.

I'm getting dizzy.

Peter, wait!

Come on, Peter. Come on back.

Peter, I'm getting scared.

Game over.

Why don't you go upstairs

and get some drinks?

Hey, Jobe. It's OK.

It's just a game.

I was really bad.

Well, you'll get used to games.

Thanks, Peter.

Hey, Jobe.

Hey.

I was flying upside-down,

Dr. Angelo.

Come on. Hop up.

Come over here.

Sit down.

You know, Jobe...

I have other... different games.

I even have one that

could help make you smarter.

I was born dumb.

But... you would like

to be smarter, wouldn't you?

I don't know.

Well, if you were smarter,

people wouldn't be able to...

take advantage of you.

Do you

understand what I mean, Jobe?

- Yeah.

- And?

Sometimes they do.

They do.

Can you keep a secret?

Well...

I'll tell you one.

I can make you smarter...

but only if you want.

And you must never

tell anyone.

You mean a secret

for just you and me two?

That's right.

Well, I bet you

already know, don't you?

So don't you tell anybody, OK?

OK?

Well, you're

as healthy as a mule.

When can we play the games?

Soon, Jobe.

I need to give you

a shot of vitamins first.

I had a shot once,

Dr. Angelo, and it hurt.

This won't.

Trust me.

I'm very good at this.

That looks like a gun.
