The Skeptic Page #2

I just might figure it out.

That's a pretty juicy theory.

It's right up your alley.

What do you think, Sulk?

- [gasping]

- Sully!

Sully!

[crashing]

Hey!

Sully?

Sully.

Where's your juice?

Where's your juice?

Where's your... okay.

I got it.

All right, just hang on, pal.

You're going to be fine.

Let's just get some juice in you.

- There's something upstairs

in the closet

behind the crucifix.

- What?

come on.

Sip this.

Sip it.

Good, good.

That better?

- Yeah.

- Feeling' better?

Is it working?

- Mm-hmm.

- Good.

You didn't eat today, did you?

- No.

- Well, God damn it, Sully.

You can't take those pills

and not eat.

How long's it going to take you

to learn that?

- Apparently a little while longer.

- Yeah, have a little more.

- Okay.

Yeah.

Oh.

- What was that you were

blabbing about?

A closet upstairs with a crucifix?

- Did I say something?

Did I say something weird?

- What's this?

- I think it was on the desk.

- All right, come on.

You need food.

Hey.

You and I need to have a little talk.

- Man to man?

- Man to man.

Now, your mom and I told you

that my Aunt Marlene died, right?

- Her heart got old.

- Yeah.

And I'm in charge

of selling her house.

She's got a lot of expensive

stuff over there,

so I'm going to have to go

and live there for a while,

make sure nobody takes anything.

- Okay.

can I visit?

- Of course you can.

Whenever you want.

And you can call me too, okay?

- Okay.

- I got to go tell Mom.

- Be careful.

She's still mad from breakfast.

- Hey.

Look, my aunt's house is just

going to sit there until we sell it.

So I was thinking maybe I'd use it.

You know, just for a few weeks

or so like we talked about.

- Like we talked about?

- Yes.

Didn't we talk about this?

Didn't we talk about how

some time apart

might be exactly what we need

right now?

Didn't we say that was something

we should seriously consider?

- Yes, we said that.

But one of us was bluffing.

I guess we know now it wasn't you.

- No.

It wasn't me.

[sighs]

[garbled voices]

- Hi, this is Marlene Diver.

Please leave a message.

Thank you.

- It's Bryan Becket.

Please leave a message.

[loud thud and shaking glass]

[glass shaking]

[stairs creak]

[wind whistling]

[bed creaking]

[people chatting]

Morning', Carol.

Hey, it's no rush,

but I still need

the Benes motion to compel.

Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

- Morning, Riley, Sarah.

What is wrong with everyone today?

Hey, could I talk to you

for a second?

- Mm-hmm.

- Please be seated.

Are you and Robin separated?

Now, I only know this because

Robin called Celeste

who called Karen,

so it's going to be on O-SPAN

in, like, five minutes.
