The Submarine Kid Page #3

You've seen what the

neighborhood's turning into

and a new hip boutique pops up every day.

I gotta capitalize on this, right?

Because nostalgia is the new cool.

But only to a point apparently.

- So no one's comin' in?

- Exactly.

You know, I gotta make people feel

like they're-they're not

walking into a dungeon...

...or, or...

...if they are walking into a dungeon

it's gotta be a cool

f***ing dungeon, doesn't it?

Improvise, adapt and overcome.

Hoo-rah!

Frankly, my, uh, my pockets are dryin' up.

I need a new sign for starters.

You know, somethin'

they actually look up to

from their phones.

I could do that.

Fantastic.

This is gonna be good for you. Believe me.

You know, idle hands and all that sh*t.

Can you start now?

Imma take this order to the post office.

Can you watch the shop

in case someone comes in?

Yeah, sure.

I'm gettin' some chow. You want somethin'?

No, I'm good.

Alright then.

I'll leave you to it.

Hi.

Hi.

Do you, uh, do you work here?

Um, yeah.

Uh, do you possibly have any

old newspapers, magazines?

That kinda stuff?

Um...

...I'm sure there are

something like that around here.

Well, we have to find the right pile.

I know you.

I, I saw that article

about you in the paper.

I remember your picture.

- Yeah.

- So...

You guys all done over there?

Shot the bad guy and everything?

Something like that.

Well, glad to see you're back in one piece.

I just got here myself.

I'm Spencer.

Alice.

- Alice?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, yeah, sorry, I wish I

knew where that stuff was

I really just started here today.

Doing maintenance mostly.

I'm gonna build a new sign for the front.

Probably fix the whole Dewey

Decimal situation in here.

The guy who owns the place is out

but he should be back pretty soon, so...

Maybe I'll just...

...poke around and see if

I can find something useful.

Yeah.

The... These are perfect.

Oh, good.

You know like a... school

project or something?

Uh, no, I'm just tryin' to

find some images for a new book.

Oh. You're a writer?

Hmm, not exactly, it's

more like a scrapbook.

I've been scavenging for material.

So are you like in the

scrapbooking business?

Oh, no, I was working at

a pet store for a while.

They were jerks.

There comes a point

where you just have to...

...break away and follow your dreams.

That's probably true.

I mean if you find

something you really love.

- Right?

- Right.

So what do you love, Spencer?

Uh, wha...

I-I'm just asking, like...

- Do you love bein' a soldier?

- Marines, it's a bit different.

I don't know about that stuff.

Isn't it like you go

to school though, or...

If I wanted that, I guess, yeah.
