Buster's Mal Heart Page #3
My solution is we get out.
We find space of our own.
We find a way to be happy
outside of this f***ing house.
Oh, and we pay rent,
every month, every month,
for how many years,
becoming what,
slaves to this system
like everybody else.
And she becomes a slave, too.
She needs something different.
We need mountains. We need dirt.
We need air!
Can't live here.
And then what's the point?
What's the point of living here
for three years
with that f***ing b*tch?
Huh?
What were we doing?
What were we saving for?
Just part of this cycle.
We become part of this f***ing
cycle, the same goddamn sh*t!
Is that what you want?
What's your f***ing plan?
Sorry.
Don't be scared.
You have to trust me.
That was not me, okay?
I'm sorry.
- Yes, it was.
- I'm sorry.
Everything's going to work out.
Please don't come near me.
Don't do that.
Everything's gonna be fine.
I promise you.
You just have to trust me.
I'm gonna take care
of the three of us.
I can't get any traction.
I drive into work.
I got the sinking
sensation again.
It's right in my heart like...
couldn't breathe.
Like my heart wasn't made right.
When that happens, I just want to run away.
I get this urge...
to just go as far away
from everyone as possible.
Where would you go?
I don't know.
South maybe.
I'd always wanted to know
what it's like
to go fishing in the ocean.
The thing is...
I know how lucky I am.
Don't get me wrong, man, I'm...
I'm so grateful
for everything...
for Marty...
for Roxanne.
I won the lottery.
I just wish I could get
some traction.
The machine's designed that way.
Dangles a carrot so you keep trying.
But you'll never taste it, no way,
not if you play by the rules.
I bet you don't get too many
opportunities at a hotel like this.
It's not exactly the Ritz.
No.
But there are opportunities.
All those million-dollar
vacation homes on the mountain,
the ones that stay empty
9/10 of the year,
the owners fly in on
those tiny little airplanes.
It's the only way to access
this side of the range.
What happens, the wind
picks up, planes can't fly,
which means they're
stuck staying at this hotel
when their flights get delayed.
Happens all the time.
The rich ladies, I'm pretty
sure they keep all their jewelry
in their carry-ons.
Nobody wants to check
their diamonds.
Most of these people
I'm talking about,
they sleep one night here and they're
gone by sunrise to catch a plane.
Most of them never even leave their rooms.
But sometimes they check in early enough
that the restaurant's still open.
Husband usually orders a steak
and keeps his eyes glued on the game
while the wife slowly gets drunk.
There you are, enjoy your stay.
The trick is to only take one,
maybe two pieces, from each bag,
and you can't take the most
expensive thing either
or they'll know
they've been robbed.
You want them thinking
they must've just forgot to pack that ring,
not that it was stolen.
Well, if he was here,
he left it pretty clean.
That's usually what he does.
It's kind of his signature.
- Is this part of it, too?
- Is that fresh?
- How would I know that?
- Is it warm?
- You want me to touch it?
- Give it to me.
This is 48-hour scat.
He's got to be close.
Yeah... Why don't we
send a car around,
every house in the area,
and start knocking on doors?
Because he's too smart for that.
He's already increased his radius.
He's out there deeper
into the territory
where houses are
ten miles apart at least.
I give him one thing,
he's got stamina.
What do we think this means?
It looks like a cooking onion to me.
Or a round bale of hay?
Could be a map.
Looks like there's a a**hole
on the top and the bottom,
like an onion with...
with two a**holes in it.
A double, a double butt.
Oh, f***.
You're so f***ing good,
f***ing me just like that
with your cock.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, I'm so wet.
I have never been this wet
in my entire life.
I'm being honest with you.
Oh, my God, yes, I've been
waiting for this for so long.
Your cock is so...
Hello?
Don't stop.
Keep going.
I'm so wet.
Oh, baby, you're f***ing good, yeah.
Keep doing it to me just like that.
Just like that.
It's coming.
Oh, my God, you're coming?
Come for me.
- No.
- Come for me.
- It's coming.
- Yes, it's coming.
You're coming?
The inversion is coming.
Listen, mister, this is gonna be
a really expensive phone bill.
Head for the hills.
It won't be long now.
Get to the highest point.
You want to be closest to the sphincter
when the clock strikes midnight.
Ah, sphincter.
Dive in head first
and never look back.
This place has
so much opportunity.
It is America in a nutshell.
And we got to take advantage of it,
and it's a beautiful thing.
People come through here
and we rub shoulders with them
and these are people at the corporate
level, making decisions, hiring, firing,
people that think in
three-to five-year chunks.
The only thing separating us
and those people is an MBA...
...Jonah? Did you ever think
about getting your MBA?
I'd have to start
at the bottom, get my GED.
You didn't graduate high school?
How did you get this job?
Showed them my criminal record.
What?
Jonah, I need to see you in my office.
In a minute.
Right now.
I think you know why I called you in here.
I'm not sure that I do.
Is there anything that you
want to tell me, Jonah?
Anything you want to come clean about?
I found these in your employee locker.
Irrefutable evidence, Jonah,
you're abusing caffeine.
You're right.
I've been abusing caffeine.
I just called you in
because I care about you.
I don't want to see your life
go down the crapper, alright?
- You understand?
- Mm-hmm.
Heck, I feel culpable
in all this.
You came in for help,
you asked for it,
and I turned a blind eye.
Listen, I've been
giving this thought.
A couple of young guys like us
shouldn't spend that much time
away from their family.
You're here all night,
you sleep all darn day.
You need a staycation.
A what?
Coined the term myself.
It means you take a vacation
but you stay put.
I want you and Marty
take a look at your calendar,
pick a weekend,
and then she and Roxy
can come stay here
at the hotel with you.
Pick out one
of those handicap suites
with plenty of leg room,
completely gratis.
You still have to work
your night shift,
but at least you get
to see more of them.
I suppose you'll want
your out now.
I did dip into your half
for some incidentals,
business expenses.
I was planning to pay you back
with my cut from future jobs
but you're pulling the plug
on the whole operation.
Where am I dropping you?
Bus station's fine.
Such a big-shot, Y2K.
What about you?
One scare and you're pulling
the plug on the plan?
- Yep.
- I thought we were friends.
I don't even know
your f***ing name.
It's bigger than Y2K.
That's just the tipping point.
We're about to witness
a cosmological shift that breaks all bonds.
