Dirty Weekend Page #8

I'm not that kind of guy.

I'm just not.

You know.

I've never been with a...

Oh, but you went back

to Zorro, right?

I mean, today.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's true.

This is...

did you give me this?

No, not me.

Hey, isn't this

your handwriting?

Mm-hmm. Yep.

I wrote that.

Oh, I see.

So... so, did we, um...

You did a bunch of stuff

with both of us...

A lot...

Of things.

Oh.

Oh, God.

Is that why you came back here?

I've been... well, I was...

I was very drunk.

And I didn't know if...

if... if...

if you were with me

or someone else?

Yeah.

Does it really matter

who it's with,

as long as they're doing this?

Well, kind of.

Uh.

You know this feels

good, doesn't it? Hey.

Okay.

Ah. Hey, wait. Wait.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

God. Wait.

Hang on.

Huh?

Hey there.

Hmm? No, yeah.

No, I'm close.

Oh, you did?

Okay, but are you sure?

Yeah, but are you sure, sure?

Oh, w-well, good.

We should take that.

Yeah, yeah,

I can be there in a few.

Yeah, I-I can be there

in like, uh...

Okay. Yeah.

Okay. I'll see you then.

Right. Good. Bye.

You taking off?

Yeah.

Looks like there's an opening

in the storm and...

That's okay. I understand.

Thank you.

You're welcome to stay, though.

Oh, that's...

that's very nice of you.

Thank you, but, uh, I think

we ought to get to Dallas.

No. I mean

if you can't get out,

if you go to the airport

and you find

that your flight doesn't go,

you're welcome to come back

and stay.

Oh. Oh, I see.

Well, that's... thank you.

Is that where you're from?

Hmm? Um, no.

No, it's a business thing.

Oh, I see.

Yep.

We're from Oregon

originally... F.Y.I.

Oh.

Oh, yeah. That's a nice town.

I mean city.

I mean state.

Good. Northwest.

Very good.

Yeah. Me and my brother...

we ended up here...

"albu-quirky."

But that's where we're from...

Portland.

Cool.

Um...

Well, it was...

it was good to see you again.

Yeah. Yeah, it was good

to see you, too.

Yeah?

Yeah. Absolutely.

That was, uh...

We don't have to wake him up,

do we?

No. That's okay.

I'll tell him you said goodbye.

Thanks.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Tonight wasn't for money.

It was just for fun.

We do that sometimes.

We... we like to have fun.

You should give it a try

sometime.

I hope this answered

some of your questions.

I think so.

Or not.

Hell, I don't know.

I'm just...

Well, here. Here.

This is my number.

In case anything else comes up.

No.

Thank you, but...

You know what?

You keep it.

I think

I need to find other ways

of figuring out things

in my life.

And I'm a little mature

to start searching now.

Okay, well, good luck.

Thank you.

Just so you know,

most people I meet

are searching for something,

so at least

you wouldn't be alone.

Hmm. See?

I knew something good

would come out of this.

Let me help you.

Thank you.

He really is pretty

when he's all, you know,

done up.

Yeah?

Very attractive.

And better legs than even me.

Bastard.

Hey, let me ask you this

before I leave.

When we first met,

did he have an outfit on?

I mean, he said

he liked to dress up, so...

Yeah, he did.

That's what we look like

when we go out.

Oh.

Oh, so, at the time,

wh-when I came over

to you guys, I...

I thought it was probably

just... just two women.

Is that how it was?

Well, I don't... I don't know.

I'm just curious.

I have no idea why you came over

or what you were thinking

or... or looking for,

how much you knew

or didn't know.

Only you know that.

I suppose that's true.

It's inside of you,

the answer to that.

Got it.

Okay, then.

I'll see you around.

Well, probably not, but...

You never know.

That's true. You never do.

Hey, do you happen to have

a, uh, car or something?

'Cause I'm terribly late.

Sorry. I don't believe in cars.

They ruin the environment.

Oh. Right. Okay.

You can take my brother's

scooter if you want.

Just leave it at Zorro.

Yeah?

I'm from Pasadena.

My family and I live

right outside

of Los Angeles, f.Y.I.

I can't believe

we actually managed

to find a different taxi driver.

I know.

Mr. Shakespeare guy.

You doing okay?

Yeah.

You?

I don't know.

I have no idea.

Okay.

I got it.

Who was that girl

you were talking to?

Can't remember her name.

Hey.

All right.

Shakespeare.

Shakespeare, Shakespeare, eh?

Oh...

Dude.

We still have

a few minutes, right?

A bit.

Got to make a call.

Can I borrow yours?

Don't get lost.

Hi.

Well, you know. It's me.

Hi.

Hey there, sweetie.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, no, it's just...

it's just I had to borrow

Miss Havington's phone again.

Yeah. I don't get it, either.

Yeah, I'll check it out

as soon as I get home.

No. I promise.

I know.

I know.

Yeah,

I'm always promising stuff.

I know, but I will this time.

I will, sweetie.

I promise you.

No, I'm just... I'm, uh...

I-I'm a little tired.

I'm, um...

I'm...

I'm fine.

No, I'm tired of all the, uh...

the travel, you know?

I think...

I-I think I might ask

for a more permanent position.

Yeah. Yeah.

The home office

or something like that.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Yeah, I'm ready for it.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Hey.

You get what you need?

Yeah. Yeah.

Just some stuff, you know,

and a few, uh...

Trinkets.

Yeah.

Go on, then. Put it on.

Hmm?

Put it on.

Ow.

This is the final

boarding call to Dallas...

Wow.

It's good.

Wow.

Anyway...

I, uh... I appreciate

what you did today...

All of it, everything.

Thanks, butch.

You're welcome, Sundance.

Why don't you take that off?

Should I? Yeah.

Are you sure? Yeah, for a bit.

Here. You want me

to help you with it?

There you are.

You can always put it back on

if you want to.

Yeah. Just let it breathe

for a minute.

Yeah.

Um, here.

Oh, yeah.

And just so you know...

Yeah?

I'm a gemini, on the cusp.

Thanks.

So...

Dallas.

The big presentation.

You excited?

No.

No? Not really.

No.

I actually just want to

get back home.
