Desperation Page #7

He can't.

God can't take them all.

He can.

He's God.

And God is cruel.

He's no better than Tak.

Steve, get him!

He can't take them

all and leave me!

He can't take them

all and leave me!

You want to know

how cruel your god is?

How fantastically cruel?

Sometimes he makes us live.

Get him out of here.

There's going to be

a big bang.

- Boss?

- No time.

David, you find

your friend Bryan.

Make him your brother.

Then keep telling yourself...

there was an accident

out in the desert.

A bad one.

And you're the only survivor.

That's not

what happened!

That's exactly what happened.

Now, get him out of here.

Go on. Move it.

Come on.

Right!

Holy God...

You're John Edward Marinville,

aren't you?

You down there, Tak?

Because I've

come for you.

Come on, big brave

American writer.

Tak ah lah!

Stop!

I command you to stop!

Tak commands you to stop!

The heart of the unformed

commands you to stop!

Donald Rumsfeld

demands you stop.

Adam Sandler

demands you stop.

Anne Coulter

demands you stop.

Even if he can get to it,

how can he set that stuff off?

I think he knows a way.

I can give you anything

if you stop.

Anything!

Anything?

Anything?

Oh, man...

Norman Mailer

burned my ass...

in a New York Times

book review.

What more

can a man want?

You can't!

Os pa! You can't.

You untalented bastard!

Man, you said

the wrong thing there.

You're useless.

You're a drunk.

You're a no good

for nothing piece of crap.

No. Don't do it.

You're a joke,

and you always have been!

See, I hate critics.

Come on!

Run for me now!

Come on!

It won't die, will it?

It'll just keep

coming for us.

Look...

It's going away already.

See?

Let's get out

of here.

Wait! Stop!

Pull over.

What is it?

There's an overnight bag

in the backseat...

if no one's stolen it.

David, I think you

should come here.

Any idea how

your school album...

got in the backseat

of my car?

That's, um,

my boss' handwriting.

Are you sure?

Are you kidding me?

After a month of looking

over his shoulder...

while he wrote "good luck"

and "best wishes"

and "could you come up

to my room" in people's books?

Yeah, I'm sure.

The Bible reference.

Do you know it?

Sure.

"God is love."

What do you think, David?

Is he love?

Yeah.

I guess so.

I guess God's

sort of everything.

That's what makes him God.
