I Kill Giants Page #3

---

I want to apologize!

Turn around and look at me!

Go away!

- Get in!

- No!

Dolly! This is private

between me and her! Dolly!

I'm sorry!

Where are you going?

[WOMAN CACKLING]

Oh, you can have the bridge!

I'm just gonna need a

little something in return.

Let me guess, no more condos?

Oh, [SCOFFS]

You know how long I've been down here?

The whole city is a condo

to me, Mr. Mayor.

The key, now.

Don't you think that it's

time that we got back

to how things used to be?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Damn it!

Sam, step outside.

Oh...

[SIGHS]

I need this bridge!

[STRAINING]

[CACKLING]

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Oh, boy.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Oh my God!

It's happening!

This is the runner's high!

This is the first time in a

long time that I feel present.

I know, I thought my

stress had gone away,

but I was just distracting myself.

We're actually looking at each other.

I know.

Fred, I gotta say,

I couldn't do this without you.

The race?

Any of it.

[TRIUMPHANT MUSIC]

[SCREAMING]

[STRAINING AND CACKLING]

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

[SCREAMING]

Darling, give it a rest.

You know your powers don't work here.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

- Margaret.

- Yeah?

I just want what's best for this city.

Didn't you once want that too?

Of course. Son, that's what we've...

That's what we've both

wanted for centuries.

We just want to keep the world

the way we always remembered it.

Listen, if you want

access to the bridge,

I require only one thing.

And I think it's something

that you're gonna be willing to give.

[CHUCKLING]

[STIRRING MUSIC]

Dolly!

[HORN HONKING]

I'm sorry. I'm apologizing!

I never apologize!

Dolly!

This is a race course, ma'am!

Dolly, I want to apologize!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

And here they come...

- Dolly! Turn around and look at me!

- No!

[STIRRING MUSIC]

Dolly! Wait!

What are you clapping about? Dolly!

1240 coming up from behind!

Over here!

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

There she is, coming in right

in the front

- of the line now.

- Dolly!

Ah!

1240, now coming in first.

- Dolly!

- Congratulations!

Dolly!

Dolly, I am so sorry for my behavior.

Do you know what?

You don't have to apologize.

I just ran faster than I've

ever run in my whole life

because I was so scared of you.

Thank you, Candace.

I suppose I... I did do

something kind for once.

[STIRRING MUSIC]

- Do you want to go celebrate?

- No way!

That felt great!

Hey, guys!

Oh, I can't believe it!

- We did it!

- Fred, I'm proud of us.

- I am too!

- Hey, b*tches.

- Hi!

- You did it!

- Yeah.

- I'm proud of you.

Thanks!

You know, I just... I just wanted to say

you did not need to lead me on,

or, like, give me false encouragement.

I... I could've done this on my own.

Yeah, no, Carrie, I knew you could.

I just thought that a little

crush would help motivate you.

With Fred, I could tell that he responds

to being ignored, so...

I was just doing my job.

Well, I guess I'm stupid,

but I just caught real feelings, so...

I'm sorry. I think you're cute, Carrie.

And I really do like you

when you're sweaty.

But the truth is, I could

never date any of my clients,

because I am married to The Jim.

Sort of clich, right?

No, really, I am married to The Jim.

[SCOOTER WHIRRS]

Oh, yeah, I... I get it now.

Yeah, we're not open yet,

but we're discussing it.

Okay, yeah, keep me posted.

- I will. See you around.

- Thanks, Bailey.

Yeah, congratulations again!

- She's a good trainer.

- Yeah, really?

Fred! Carrie!

BOTH:
Mr. Mayor!

How did you like the marathon?

- Loved it.

- You know what?

Actually, it was pretty great.

And how about that shape?

The route was the shape of a rose.

Oh, yeah. Sorry, we didn't...

we didn't notice that.

Yeah, we're in it,

so we couldn't really see it.

- It was really good though.

- Yeah.

Um, so I'm, uh,

I'm gonna be heading out.

All right.

I wanted to come and say good-bye

to my two favorite Portlanders.

Great, yeah. Back to the office?

Yeah, yeah, in... in a sense.

[STIRRING MUSIC]

Carrie.

Oh, my sweet Fred. [CHUCKLES]

Mr. Mayor!

Call me Sean.

- Sean.

- Sean.

Sean.

Ugh.

All right.

You two be strong.

- Okay.

- All right.

There's no going back, you know.

Right or wrong,

you can't go back.

- Where's he going?

- I don't know.

- Sean?

- Hey, Sean?

Where you going?

Sean?

Is he not hearing... Sean!

Sean, where are you going?

Sean!

[SHIMMERING]

Sean!

Sean?

Sam?

Yes, Ms. Mayor?

Shall we begin?
