The Wizard of Gore Page #3

stripping at Jumbo's Clown Room.

Does the audience realize this,

or are they too busy

getting played like a fiddle?

What are you afraid of?

Exposure.

We swim

in a shark-infested cesspool,

terrified that at any moment

things will nip at us.

Oh. Ha ha.

They will nip at us,

and they are hungry.

They are those closest to us,

our best friends.

Our girlfriends.

They are us.

I'm not going back.

That whole thing was disgusting.

Did you hear that?

Our girlfriends.

Not our boyfriends and girlfriends,

not our lovers, our girlfriends.

And he was looking at you

the entire time.

That was just because we were there

two nights in a row

and because I tried to talk

to him before the show.

Fine, write your little article.

Give the f***er more publicity.

Oh, that is awfully

open-minded of you, artist girl.

What the f***'s

that supposed to mean?

So it's freedom of expression

as long as Maggie agrees with it, right?

You know what?

You're just like everybody else,

used to objectifying people like, uh,

Cayenne and Cecelia.

- Oh, Jesus.

- Don't "Oh, Jesus" me.

You've gone and seen them

on stage before.

And then they get up there

and do their little

meat puppet routine with Montag.

It's nothing new for you.

He fondles them, paws all over 'em.

Sh*t, I bet you wish

you could do the same thing.

What's with the, uh...

It relaxes me.

Because you make me f***ing tense.

A**hole.

God.

Yeah.

Ed, turn on the TV. Channel 4.

It's not the best time right now.

Just do it.

Earlier today,

authorities are cautioning everyone

to stay out of the water.

Local Santa Monica residents

were stunned this morning

when the remains of this woman...

It's your friend Cayenne

from that show last night.

The Coast Guard is out in force

searching for the great

white shark believed...

It wasn't a f***ing shark attack.

Look, Maggie, I need to go.

- I'll get back to you, okay?

- Ed, wait. Ed...

- Yo.

- Jinky.

Uh, yeah, Eddie.

It's not really a good time right now.

Listen, a girl got attacked

by a shark last night, right?

Yeah, no sh*t.

Between her and the one

that came in yesterday...

you know, that girl who got split open...

my internship here

has been, like, you know,

on-the-job experience, let me tell you.

I can't be on the phone right now.

That girl got split open?

She was, like, cracked

open like a lobster.

Yeah, so whatever. What do you want?

Listen, Jinky, I think

there may be a connection

- between those two.

- What do you mean?

Then I want you to double-check

with that shark girl.

Are you sure it was a shark?

What? No, no, no. Not on the phone.

Listen,

lunch break's in 45.

Fountain in MacArthur Park.
