B. Monkey Page #5

Stupid. My own fault entirely.

I was chopping up hearts. Some f***er

left me with his dog,

and all he eats is hearts. The fridge

was full of them.

I was listening to

Dusty Springfield

and for some reason

suddenly I burst into tears.

Bang chopped it off!

Gave it to the dog.

Bullshit. Come to the house.

Breaks my heart Dusty does.

Always did. Don't ask me why.

Cheers for the phone number Paul.

I don't suppose you're too happy

about all this are you?

No I'm not. I'm not happy at all Paul.

I think you're trouble.

The sooner you piss off the

better we'll be.

On the other hand you do

have a heart of gold don't you?

And you went to a good school

...ish.

Shouldn't think, you chuck me out

on my ear would you?

Don't bet on it!

It's just for a couple of days

till he sorts himself out.

You told him where we are?

No!

You must have done.

No I never told him, I phoned him.

I just wanted to see if he was OK.

You can't give it up can you?

You can't stop.

What do you mean "you can't stop"?

He's my friend I phone him up.

Is that a crime? Christ Bea.

What are we doing here? All this way

in the middle of nowhere for what?

I don't know.

I'm trying. It's not that

f***ing easy you know.

God damn it Bea it is!

If I'm what you want it is!

Time and again you

say "Give me proof!"

"Prove to me that you

love me" and I do

over and over. Well where's mine?

Where's my f***ing proof?

I'm your proof. All the proof

I've got to give.

No Bea what you say is not enough,

it's what you do.

Alan...

Morning all.

Anyone want a glass of wine?

I managed to salvage a couple

of these after the sack of Troy.

Paul..

I don't know how

to say this but I think

it's better for everyone

if you f*** off.

Benny..

I'm in terrible f***ing

trouble actually.

There's a surprise!

You didn't pay them did you?

No.

For f***'s sake Paul.

Well I couldn't. I do

have my pride after all.

What about the money I gave you?

Benny...

I'm afraid the very generous donation

you gave me was just a drop in the ocean.

As far as I'm concerned they can

f***ing whistle for it.

But what about me Paul?

You are dead already.

But did you ever think for a moment

about what you're doing to me?

What if Frank finds you?

Benny there's no need to worry.

That's the marvellous thing

you see,

Frank's never going to find

us here is he?

You're a selfish bastard you are!

Right Paul,

Time to leave.

Alan please let me cope with it.

Bea he's leaving now. Come on!

I've had enough.

No let me deal with it.

Here we go

For God's sake out of my house.

Come on!

Selfish bastard.

F*** off!

Alan..

he knows where we are.

So?

If he goes home

and they find him

He's not strong.

He'll tell them.

And then they'll know.

I don't understand.

No?

It's not just Paul. It's me they want.

They want me too.

We have to leave. We have to go

somewhere else.

I like it here.

Hello lover.

Long time no see.

You're pathetic you know

that, don't you?

Yes it had begun

to dawn on me.

Thanks.

So you're moving up in the

world are you Bruno?

I'd hoped for something better

for you.

Truly.

Oh deja vu. I'd been missing

these little bouts of pain.

Ssh It's me. It's me.

Monkey?

Monkey?

You gotta get the gun.

Use the gun if you have to.

I love you.

Sh*t!

Hello there.

Who are you?

I live here. Who are you?

F***ing hell..

Alan.

F***ing hell Al

when's the last

time you used that old thing eh?

We don't get many visitors.

Frank I've got her.

That must be Monkey.

Shall we take a look?

Bea!?!?!

Slowly.

Hello Frank. Seems you met Alan.

Nice to see you Monkey.

If this bastard kills me you

blow that f*** away right?

Now now Bea you owe him one.

Do you want to f*** her

or kill her first?

Either way she bleeds.

No!

Get on your knees!

Paul...

I'm awfully sorry darling.

I don't think that I...

Drop the gun Alan!

No!

Put it down or she's dead.

Sh*t!

F*** it you f***ing twisted

little prick!

Bruno..

Look..

I'm putting my gun down, okay?

I love you Bea.

I love you.

You and me alright?

Don't stand there Bea. It's a stupid

f***ing place to stand.

Bruno where are you going?

Teacher!

No!

Give me the gun Bruno!

Shut up!

Bea tell him you're

coming with me.

I'm not letting her

go anywhere Bruno.

Bea you tell him!

Not with you... not with anyone.

Bea, please!

Never again.

You'll never understand her.

Maybe.

But I'll die before I let

anything happen to her.

I promise you.

Help us!

That was the last time I saw Bruno.

He contacted us to say he'd

got rid of the bodies.

We haven't heard from him since.

I just hope he's somewhere safe.

For the first few weeks we froze

every time the door rang.

or a car drove by.

After a while it became clear,

that no one misses people like Frank.

A lovely shot,

right in the middle.

Pitch it up lad!

He's got a lovely

run in your Alan.

Yeah you think so?

Oh aye, it'll be the cycling.

Up and down all the time.

Lovely rhythm.

Hey good shout!

It looked plumb to me.

and me!

You know Joy says you

got a lovely run-in.

What's Joy?

She's Trevor's wife,

she's the sister of Judith

You know the girl that

works in the shop?

Oh with the frizzy perm?

You know she's been on the radio?

She gives talks to women about sex.

Judith?

No, No Joy, Trevor's wife.

She says he's got kissing abilities.

How do you know all this?

It's a long game cricket.

Are you happy Bea?

I'm very happy Alan.

Whoever thought I could find happiness

in the middle of f***ing nowhere?
