The Unnamable Page #2

Where else would anyone find you?

See you.

Howard, Joel will be all right.

I just hope he scares the hell out of himself.

Wendy?

Look, if I did anything to offend you...

I don't think you could.

Don't follow me around like a puppy.

- I don't.

- Stop calling me.

Well, I just thought maybe

we could go out some time.

Howard, read my lips.

I danced one dance with you. That was all.

That's all there ever will be.

- So stop following me around.

- I'm not following you.

Uh, you just shouldn't walk alone at night.

I can take care of myself.

Sh*t.

Carter?

Howard?

Is that you?

You guys trying to scare me?

Well, I don't scare that easy, guys.

Carter?

This isn't funny.

What's wrong with me?

What have I got to be afraid of?

Ah, what the hell?

I know you're up there, Carter.

I'm gonna get you.

Carter?

Howard?

Argh!

Uh-oh.

- Carter!

- Shh.

Carter...

- Carter, what about Joel?

- Just a second.

Do you mind?

What about Joel?

He hasn't come back. I checked the dorm.

- He's probably at the gym or with Vicki.

- No, she hasn't seen him either.

Carter, this is serious.

He hasn't been seen since last night.

We are the last people to have seen him.

- You don't have to be melodramatic.

- What if he's trapped in that house?

Or broke his leg and can't get help?

- He's capable of taking care of himself.

- But if he can't. If...

If something horrible happened,

like you described...

If something like that happened,

we're better off not knowing about it.

We can't just leave him there.

It's broad daylight.

We can go check and see.

Sorry.

Howard, you are so naive,

even for a freshman.

In these matters, day or night,

it makes no difference.

Don't worry about Joel. He's probably

hiding, hoping that we'll think he's in trouble.

Or he's waiting in the house for us to come

back for him, so he can have a laugh.

But what if he isn't?

Thanks for the tip, Carter.

- Oh, no charge.

- Hello, Wendy.

- Hi, Howard.

- Hm?

Uh, hi.

Better yet, he went home for the weekend,

so we'd have plenty of time to worry.

Uh...yeah.

But I don't like it, not knowing.

As I said before.

I have no intention of going in there.

- I don't like it.

- Howard...

Let me put it to you this way.

Do you believe in the supernatural?

- No.

- Well, then, what are you worried about?

I'm worried that he's hurt.

Well, then, trundle over there

and check it out for yourself, by yourself.

You really think he's trying

to scare us into going there?

He's just that crazy.

Yeah.

- How come you treat Howard like that?

- Cos he's a dork. And he's a freshman.

So are we. I think he's completely cute.
