I Kill Giants Page #2

---

I'm... I'm really sorry

if I've upset you.

I just, um...

I train in the mornings,

but if you wanted to,

we could hang out this evening,

I have to get up early in the morning,

since it's the marathon.

But I'm so sorry.

Apology accepted.

I've got to have a shower.

Are we friends?

- We are best friends.

- Good.

But I enjoy being angry,

so you can go inside, shower,

do whatever you need,

but I'm just gonna yell

at an imaginary you.

Okay, lovely.

As a guest?

Oh, and you prancing around

like you're the queen of the world!

Well, you're not!

- No!

- Candace, I'm so sorry.

- Where are the towels?

- The blue cabinet.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Do I look like I'm smiling? Huh?

Up, up, good, good.

Looking good, Care-bear.

- Thank you.

- Hey, Bailey.

I'm not getting that runner's high.

I was thinking I'd love the

feeling of not running anymore

and just looking at my phone.

Yeah, do whatever you want, pal.

Hey, Carrie, how are you feeling?

From here, it's looking good.

It's all working.

I don't have a runner's high,

but yeah, I feel... I feel great.

All right, well, let me know

if you want some champagne.

Yeah, maybe!

It's high in sugar,

but it's half a cheat day.

- You've earned it.

- Wow, okay. Cool.

You know, if you wanted,

I could put an extra inch

or two on your glutes.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

- So we could start today.

- Let's!

- Good.

- All right, you ready?

- Uh, yeah.

- Yeah.

- It's me and you.

- All right.

[CART WHIRRS] [EAGLE SQUAWKS]

God, you look so graceful.

Hey, I'm working out!

[TENSE MUSIC]

Two blocks on Sandy.

Okay.

All right then, well...

The Portland Rose Route, Sam.

- We did it!

- Wow.

[LAUGHTER]

[ETHEREAL MUSIC PLAYING]

I hope you like your dinner.

Yes, I've never had

bread-crusted ravioli

filled with pasta and with potatoes

on the side before. Thank you.

I heard that runners need their carbs.

- I have a fun idea.

- Mm-hmm?

Let's gossip.

Oh, I don't... I don't think

we know the same people.

Just dish some dirt on

someone you know from home,

even if I don't know them.

- Um...

- Go on, anything.

Shoot, go, do it, give me something.

Okay, um, one of my

friends got, um, divorced

- two years ago.

- [GASPS]

No. Was it violent? You can tell me.

- Was he hitting her?

- Goodness, no!

- No, no...

- Was she hitting him?

No, absolutely not;

they're still very good friends.

They just got divorced.

You don't have anything mean

to say about anyone, do you?

Nothing negative at all.

Is there something wrong with you?

No, I just... I don't really see

the point in anger, or resentment.

I... I don't know how

you got through life

being that way.

Well, I should, um...

I should go to bed.

I've got to get up at 5:30.

I've set the alarm.

No, no, don't worry about that.

I'm up at 4:
00 in the morning.

- Oh, okay.

- I'll be up before you.

- Oh.

- I'll wake you up.

Oh, that would be great, thank you.

Can I brush your hair

as you go to sleep?

Absolutely.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Hey, there you are.

Hey, whoa, what's all this stuff?

I know it looks stupid,

but I just figured

this is gonna be like a long flight.

I've got a bunch of

movies on here, right?

"Sully," got a couple of podcasts here,

one about the opioid crisis.

Some news feeds on my wrist phones.

Also my heart rate's gonna

be right over here,

so you... I need you to read it for me,

'cause I can't see it from here.

- What about you? You ready?

- Yeah!

- Hi!

- There you are!

Hey. I was wondering where you were.

How you feeling?

Little better now that you're here.

So are you ready to run

with the rest of my b*tches

- and catch that runner's high?

- Wait, what?

Hey, look, I gotta do my rounds, okay?

But I will be back to check on you.

- Okay. Yeah.

- Go get 'em out there.

I can't wait to see you glisten.

- Do you have a shirt for me?

- Nah, I didn't bring any more.

See ya!

Oh my God, look at you.

Flex it, flex it!

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

That's good. [LAUGHS]

[MAN ON PA, DISTORTED] Welcome,

ladies and gentlemen!

Welcome to the Portland Marathon!

You're still a little tight.

A little tight.

May I have your attention, please?

This route, as you can see...

Today, we have this beautiful,

rose-shaped route

for you to run.

[STIRRING MUSIC]

Oh, all right.

Get!

[GUNSHOT]

[CHEERING]

Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor.

Sam? Aren't you running in the race?

Uh, no, no.

The Morrison Bridge, it's out.

It's cancelled.

- What?

- We can't use it.

No. Why?

Uh, cargo ships...

they needed access to the river.

It just happened.

No, no, no, no!

We need the bridge to

complete the rose shape.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

No, oh no, oh no.

Well, what do you feel like doing today?

It's the marathon, Candace!

Are you still gonna go to that?

Of course I am! You know that.

What's wrong with you?

Fine, well, I'll give you a

ride to the starting line.

No, I don't want anything more from you.

I think that you did this on purpose!

I... I think that you're bitter,

I think you're nosy,

and I think that you're mean.

[DOOR OPENS AND SLAMS]

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Hurry, Sam!

We must protect this rose!

Look out, everybody!

Great stride!

All right, get out there, get out there.

Go on, Roxy. Get it!

Hey.

Did you know rose petals are gold medals

but, uh, for the heart?

That's stupid.

No, I didn't... I totally

didn't know that.

Oh, really? There's so

much you haven't heard of.

I'm gonna take a picture

of you so you can use it

as a dating profile pic,

because you do look good sweaty.

Oh, yeah, well, I probably need one.

'Cause I need to find some...

someone new today, right?

What? Did someone break

up with you, sweetie?

No, what do you mean?

Lookin' good, Sally.

Yeah, like, you're like...

two times six timing me,

I mean, like, whatever.

I'm stupid. Just... I have to end

this, this is... I'm moving on!

No, no, no, no, no,

Carrie, don't move on!

- I need you.

- Fred?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Morrison is out.

We have to change the route.

Car coming through.

[HORN HONKS]

Have you seen Dolly?

[SOBBING] Dolly!

Where are you? Excuse me!

[HORN HONKS]

Move!

[TIRES SCREECH]

I didn't even know this existed.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Oh, yes.

I haven't been here in a long time.

Long time.

Sir... sir, the runners are

gonna be here any minute.

Let's go.

[SIGHS]

What is this?

Oh, you have no idea.

It smells.

Oh, yeah, that's her smell.

We're very close.

[CROW CACKLES]

[CROW CACKLES]

[DOOR CREAKS]

Hello?

Well, hello, Mayor.

We don't intend to stay very long.

I'm here...

Oh, I know why you're here.

The question remains, do you?

[EERIE MUSIC]

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Ugh! Carrie, this is too heavy.

Screw this!

Fred, I can't... I can't go on.

I definitely want to stop,

but we're halfway there!

Okay, well, it's gonna suck!

I know, but hey, look,

we're in it together, okay?

Okay. Okay! Let's go.

Dolly, it's me!

I thought about what you said.
