Blood Runs Cold

Hello?

Hi, Winona. This is James.

How're you holding up?

Yeah, I'm still on the road.

I've got a rough weather here

but I'm fine now.

What about you?

Well, I'm good, thank you.

Hope you get there soon.

You'll love to make the bargain.

But I wanted to check if you're still up for

the interview tommorow?

Look, I've been thinking and I...

I want you to cancel it for me.

Come on, Winona.

It'll will only take an hour.

It'll be fun

No, you listen to me now!

You rent me a house and...

I'm going to stay there for two weeks.

After that...

You can schedule me on anything you want.

I know Winona but...

I'll always help you when you get here.

I'm going to hang up now.

- Talk to you later.

- Wait just one second Winona...

Bye!

The calculated route contains one or

more unsurfaced roads.

Perform a U-turn when possible.

And how am I supposed to get in

without a key?

Hello?

Anybody?

No?

Cheap bastard.

Hello?

Hello? Anyone?

Hi there. What can I get you?

Umm, white wine. Thanks!

Alright, anything to eat?

No.

Here you go.

I was just sitting there in my office, right...

and this ugly f***er comes in.

You know, with an attitude.

And he starts telling me, you know, like...

" I'm going to hold you personally responsible

for the damage to my car "

You know, a caveman.

And you know I try to be diplomatic...

...and tell him that's not really how it works.

And I start telling him about our policy.

And he says..." You know you can take that policy..."

"...and shove it up your ass."

You know, pissed off as hell.

- You know what I tell him?

- No, what did you say man?

I said " That's a f***ing excellent idea man! "

So I jump up on the table,

I pull my pants down...

...and I held up all the papers

like a holy scroll...

...and I said " Shove it up there! "

" Come on big guy, you can do it! "

You f***ing didn't do that man...

I swear to God I did.

No, he did not.

You never believe me. I did.

Don't they fire you for saying that?

That's not the point, Liz.

Anyway, so...

This guy flips off and he leaves.

You know the sad thing?

That was the best moment

that I've ever had on that shitty job.

I know, man.

It sucks to be an ass kisser.

All the time.

It does, but I mean you know...

Your best memories from the job

is not supposed to be some kind of...

Hey Rick!

Isn't that your ex-girlfriend?

You know... who left you for a job.

What was her name?

Veronica?

- It's Winona.

- Right...

Yeah, Winona.

You should go to her.

He's going to put in some smooth moves!

You should try that sometime.

- Oh, what?

- What do you mean what?

Oh, come on. You're pissed at me again

I can see that.

- Yeah.

- What did I do?

What did you do?

You know what you did.

Oh, you think I flipped you off?

Umm, yeah, you kind of did.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Please don't leave me!

Take me back!

I promise to...

improve.

Come here, come on!

Hey, Winona!

Hi! Rick!

- I didn't expect to see you here.

- I'm glad to see you again!

So, what are you doing here, you know

how are things going?

I'm doing okay.

so you're still working with your dad?

Yep. Still working with my dad...

Hey, I've read an interview with you in a magazine.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah. It was...

Oh, which one was it?

Anyway I don't remember but...

There was a great picture of you in it.

Thanks.

So, do you want to drink or something?

Yeah, sure.

I'm really happy to be able to work with

what I always wanted to do, you know?

and I have a lot of people supporting me....

even if sometimes...

Well...

...you can't be too much.

But let's not talk about me no more.

What about you?

Me?

Yeah. There must've been some girls

since we were together...

- Nah.

- Come on!

No, I don't know about that.

You know how it is in this town.

- Yeah, I know.

- Everybody knows everybody.

It's just...

You were always this great guy

taking care of everyone...

to be honest...

I really missed you.

Yeah? You have?

I'm here with Carl...

...and his girlfriend Liz.

They're sitting over there.

- I haven't seen him before.

- No.

I've known him for a while

thru my dad's work.

Big f***ing udders, yeah big udders!

Spring milk over everyone, you know...

Carl seems like a real gentleman

Yeah, I think he's like a dream.

So, how long are you planning to stay?

- Hey man, you haven't introduced us yet.

- I'm sorry.

- This is...

- Carl, Rick's best friend.

- Hi. Winona, nice to meet you.

- and his girlfriend...

- Winona.

- Liz.

So maybe we should leave

'cause this place sucks ass.

- Where do you want to go, man?

- I don't know. Anywhere, man.

I don't give a sh*t.

Well, I really don't know if there's anything open.

Let's go to the party.

Where the f*** do we go?

Do you have to swear all the time, Carl?

F*** you.

I can call Tim and see what he's up to.

No, don't call Tim.

He's boring as f***.

We can always go to my place

if you guys want to see a creepy old house.

Are you kidding?

F*** yeah, we do.

Rick, for real?

Yeah, it's really creepy.

- Okay. Awesome!

- Are you really sure about that?

Oh, don't be such a drag.

Come on, it'll be fun.

You know, we don't want to get

in your way and stuff.

No. It'll be great!

Besides, I could use some company.

Yeah, you don't want to be alone

in that scary house.

No, it is lonely, you can tell.

Come on, seriously, let's go!

Let's f***ing leave.

My manager rented me a place

to get away for a while.

He said it'd be a good idea to

go back for a couple of weeks

to where I grew up.

I don't remember being here before.

Wait till you see the house!

- It's so old and creepy and it's still in town.

- For real?

Yeah, I was really surprised when I saw it.

It's weird than most places.

It can't be that bad if you have

the whole house to yourself.

We'll see.

Well, here we are.

This is nice and warm.

Wow, what a place!

- Can you help me with some things in the kitchen?

- Yeah, sure.

- Guys, make yourselves feel comfortable.

- Certainly, we'll try!

- Liz, is this song okay?

- Yeah, sure.

What a f***ing house!

Look at this old stuff.

Can you imagine living out here?

Well, I can imagine making sex with you.

- You're so funny!

- Yeah, I know. I'm f***ing funny!

Give me a kiss.

So, what are you supposed to do out here?

Didn't you hate the winter?

Well, I know it sounds strange but

the house makes me relax when I'm here.

And I really need this.

Things have been a bit too much lately.

I'm thinking about moving away from here.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

What about your dad?

Is he going to be alright by himself?

My dad?

My dad is talking about retirement and

I should move on as well, you know.

I've got some friends in France

that want me to work with them.

Really?

Since when did you want to go to France?

Thank you!

Beers!

- My God!

- No, save it.

I thought I heard something strange there.

Was that you, Carl?

You can't be in everything?

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

- You know...

- This place reminds me of your...
