The Running Man Page #4

I'm out somewhere having a wonderful time

with glamorous people in a fabulous place.

So, when you hear the tone, control your jealousy

and leave your message.

Ha!

Kenzie – Yama – Fisch – "Baby Face" March.

Are you kidding me? Next!

How's this one? Case one-fourteen. Schoolteacher.

Killed his wife and mother-in-law at a faculty

dinner party with a steak knife.

Yeah. See, I like that quality.

He's the sort that the neighbors say, "Such a quiet

man. Never too busy to say hello." But look at

him. He weighs 120 pounds. He wouldn't last

30 seconds. Who else?

What about those bank robbers? The ones that made that suicide pact.

Did they commit suicide?

Obviously not, Damon.

Then they're unreliable.

I got a friend at a talent agency. Maybe they've got an axe murderer or something.

Hello, gorgeous.

Somebody with stamina.

Tony? Tony! Pipe that feed in here now.

Take a look at this. This is yesterday's prison break.

Hey, look.

Look at that mother move, huh?

Is he beautiful? Who is he?

Are you kidding? That's Ben Richards.

The cop from the massacre? Sensational! Perfect

contestant. I want him.

Can't have him.

Why not?

Damon, You know our contract. We never get

military prisoners.

Who's a military prisoner? He's still at large.

Yeah? Well, they'll get him for me.

Cadres can't have it both ways.

They want ratings? I can get 10 points for his

biceps alone.

Hello, yeah this is Killian.

Get me the Justice Department, entertainment division.

No, no, hold that. Operator?

Get me the president's agent.

What is this?

That's my synthesizer setup.

I'm a musician.

Well, I'm really – I'm really a singer.

I – I – I write music for the network. Have you heard of

their theme song, "We Bring You Joy, We Bring You

Strife"? Well, I wrote that.

Well you must be very proud of yourself.

It's really nothing.

Hmm. Look at this.

They're all on the censored list.

And look what we have here.

This looks like black-market clothing.

And you wrote the network jingle.

Come on. Everybody does it.

Money.

That's what I need. Money.

That money's not going to do you any good, you know.

You won't be able to take the squad. You don't have

a travel pass.

You do.

Now I do.

Now let's see.

Now, where should we go?

Maybe someplace warm. I need to work on my

tan anyway.

You see, you get so pale in prison.

There you are.

Good. Now, I'm going to untie you.

And then you're gonna get dressed.

And then you're gonna come with me.

Oh, yeah? Well, why should I?

Because I'm going to say – "please".

Well, why didn't you say so?

All flights to Pretoria, Tutuville and Mandelaburg are on schedule.
