The Wrong Guy Page #4

a black Jeep Laredo

with flame detailing

on the sides.

[ Engine revs ]

[ Crickets chirp ]

Man:
You.

[ Brakes squeak ]

Miss, this is your stop.

What?

This is Crow's Nest.

How can you tell?

Oh, it's Crow's Nest,

all right.

There's the broken branch,

the ditch, flat tire.

I've been driving this route

for years.

There's nothing out there.

There's no town.

Oh, Crow's Nest isn't a town.

It's a proposed town.

But then The Depression

came along,

and anyway, this is

your stop, so...get out.

[ Engine roars ]

[ Crickets chirp ]

[ Owl hoots ]

[ Dance music plays ]

Yeah, yeah

Crystal?

Miss Crystal Ball?

Detective Arlen,

Cleveland P.D.

Do you know this man?

No. I have no idea

who that is.

I'm not surprised.

It was just a hunch.

Shall I pull the car

around back, sir?

Not just yet, Jimmy.

My instincts tell me, uh,

we might get a lead

if we see

some of the girls dance.

Why don't you go get us

a table down front?

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Twig snaps ]

Mmm.

[ Vomiting ]

Okay,

before we continue on,

I'd just like to make

a special acknowledgement

to Nelson Hibbert,

whose procurement department,

uh, has increased

its efficiency level

by an astonishing 30%

in just the last week.

I-I don't know what you've done

to get the bugs out,

but congratulations,

Nelson.

Uh, where is Nelson?

I thought he was just here.

I don't know.

I think he, uh, I think

he went to the washroom.

Yeah,

I'm sure I saw him.

Anyways, uh, going on to

the next order of business.

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Leaves rustling ]

[ Door hinges squeak ]

[ Wires rattling ]

[ Gearshift clicks,

engine turns off ]

[ Clears throat ]

[ Deep voice ] Uh,

I'd like a room, please.

What?

[ Normal voice ]

l-I'd like a room, please.

Sure. Single, double,

junior suite?

[ Deep voice ]

A single room, please.

What?

A single room, please.

What?

[ Normal voice ] I'd like

a single room, please.

[ Chain jingles ]

That'll be $29.95

in advance, Mr....

Cal...

Oh, uh, Cali-- uh...

[ Money crinkles ]

Here's your change.

[ Money crinkles ]

[ Whistles softly ]

Is, um, that your car?

Yes...

Of course it's my car.

Why would I be driving

someone else's car

when I have my own

perfectly good...

[ Sighs ]

...Jeep?

[ Keys jingle ]

Room 4-0.

[ Deep voice ]

Thank you very much.

[ Door closes ]

[ Dialing telephone ]
