Don Peyote Page #4

Do you have any idea what happened

to our honeymoon savings account?

Uh...

What do you mean?

I mean that all the money, you know,

that I had been working really hard

to put in that account is gone.

Well, how much...

How much?

Like, $3,000.

Um...

Did you spend it?

I've just been having, like,

health issues, you know, recently.

- What kind of health issues?

- I didn't want to worry you.

- And, you know, I just... - Whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa. What kind of health issues?

You know, it's like, uh...

I would get anxiety,

and, uh, and, uh...

Why didn't you talk to me

about this?

I didn't want to get you worried.

Don't you think...

that I'd be more worried if I just,

"A," heard that all our money was gone,

and "B," you have these mental issues

and you're not talking about them?

- Yeah. That is weird.

- Yeah. It's weird, War.

I mean, what's going on?

Yeah. I don't know. I've just been...

I just been out of my head.

I've just been making

bad decisions, you know?

Do you think maybe you

should talk to somebody?

Like, go back

to Dr. Fieldman?

Just as a favor.

And if...

If Dr. Fieldman

says that I'm crazy,

will you still marry me?

Of course, Warren.

So, what's been going on

at home...

that's got Karen insisting that

you come back to me for therapy?

Well, off the record, I mean,

she's very, very stressed out right now.

Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh.

And...

But she seems to think...

you're behaving

rather strangely.

Why would she think that?

Oh. I'm having these...

incredibly... vivid dreams,

you know?

And, uh...

Oh.

And other...

Images.

And, um...

I'm working on

this project now...

that I think

is very, very important.

I feel like, I don't know,

it may change the world.

And I feel like I am...

I've got this greater purpose, or something,

in my life, and my brain... It's just...

It won't shut off. I...

It's just working overtime...

trying to crack this code.

It just feels like the...

You feel, like, that...

that we're living...

in some... some really, like,

f***ed-up times right now.

You would agree

with that, right?

That's how you see it?

Yes. And...

I mean, someone's gotta come along.

I mean...

And just...

You know?

I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know.

Uh... What

am I gonna do?

I mean, I got

to raise a family in this?

So, uh, it's the, uh,

delusions of grandeur again, right?

F***. No, Doc.

Look, um, you're making me

a bit nervous.

I, uh, think you

should just come back.

Sit down.

Have a cookie.

Nah.

I'm done with your cookies, Doc.

No offense.

I'm done with you, too.

What? Warren.

Warren?

No.

Okay.

- Warren, ready for...

- Shut up, shut up, shut up.

I'm blown today, bro. Movies.

Get a cab. Get a cab.

Grab a cab, because, uh...

You see Karen anywhere?

No. Why? Is...

He didn't want to be pacified.

If the end of the world

was coming,

he wanted to be prepared.

He wanted to survive,

and he was gonna find out how.

Because I've... Look,

I've been conditioned all my life...

to deal with this kind

of death and destruction.

So, unless you're willing to deal

with death on a massive scale,

you really, really,

honest to God don't wanna see that.

So, Warren,

the nice engaged man,

lives in a Chelsea doorman building,

wants to buy a gun.

Change your dagger.

Make it go all the way around the clock.

Like that. Yeah.

Arm direct my body.

That way, it makes you pull it like that.

Then you're just gonna walk

behind me and slice my throat.

You're living in a system

that's walking on a tightrope.

You know?

What are people going to do?

- You ever held a gun before?

- Not a real one.

- It's some Dirty Harry sh*t.

- Yeah.

When you're here and you're holding,

you're cutting out.

The reason

why you're standing...

If you had to choose the way that you died,

would being shot...

Quick and painless.

Quick and painless. Wow. Right.

So, think of things that are not

as quick and not as painless...

And those are the things that you can

say that would discourage people...

even more than a firearm.

You ever talk to anyone professionally?

A shrink? Somebody?

- Yeah. I got a therapist. Yeah.

- You do?

You need to talk about this,

because you can't come in here...

wishy-washy

about buying a gun.

Come on, Warren.

You really want to keep

a .44 Magnum under your pillow?

Direct your mental projection...

and make it into reality,

which is magic.

You've made your projects

become real.

And so, coming in your future,

you are the magus. The magician.

And you're gonna

change the world.

So, just allow it to be.

But don't bring this

"Oh, my God.

"What if they're gonna blow up

our whole mentality?" home.

Because your partner will not feel safe,

and then...

As Warren lay

there in his bed beside Karen,

he realized

he was completely exhausted.

He had amassed more information about the

end of the world than he could register.

But the puzzle

was still incomplete,

and as his fiance

lay beside him sleeping,

he realized that she was the

only thing left in his life...

that did make sense.

He decided he was gonna

do something for her.

Pick up the dry cleaning, maybe.

Buy her flowers.

Take her out to dinner.

He would reconnect with her.

Or so he thought.

Hello.

What the f***?

Hello, everybody. Honey?

Excuse me.

What the f*** is going on?

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

More. L'Roi.

Oh, no.

This is my sh*t.

What the f*** is going on in there?

Your fiance, um, invited us up,

me and my friends,

for the party.

My fiance invited you for...

What is going on in there?

I don't know who's in there.

What the f*** is going on here?

What the f*** is going on here?

It's a bachelorette party.

You're f***in'...

Excuse me. Excuse me.

What's going on here.

Harder.

Harder. Here, come on.

Honey, what are you doing here?

I thought you were at work.

You didn't want

to f*** her anyway.

Shove a hot pepperoni

up her cupcake.

You f*** off, man! Fucks like a dog.

It squirts Crisco like a greasy hog.

It's really f***in' funny!

Really f***ing funny!

What the...

Oh...

Put the gun away, Warren.

Jesus Christ.

Just calm down.

I f***in' got a gun.

Holy f***. I got a gun.

I got a gun!

What are you doing?

Warrey?

Why'd you f***in' do this to me?

How could you do this to us?

I thought

you were working, honey.

I didn't know you were

gonna come home so soon.

- What did you say?

- You told me to seize the day, Warren.

You said to start doing things

that I wanted to do.

Live life, you know,

'cause the world was gonna end.

So, that's what I'm doing.

Don't f***in' laugh!

How could you f***in'

do this to us?

It's our life together.

You do this,

you think this is f***in' funny?

F***in' on our bedsheets?

F*** you.

Warren!

Honey?

Honey?

Hey, sweetie,

did you get the dry cleaning?

What's going on?

You okay?

Sweetie?

Honey, are you okay?

Warren?

Wait a minute.

I'm not crazy.

Am I crazy?

Wait a minute.
