Perfect Life Page #6

She said

they were too expensive.

So she got me

these fakes instead.

So I went to school on the first

day, and I had my fakes on,

and this older kid was like,

"Cool f***ing Jeepers, man."

And I said, "Yeah,"

and I smiled.

Only the ghetto kids

had Jeepers.

Only the kids

that I made fun of had Jeepers.

And I realized right there

that I was

one of those kids.

A born loser.

It's like

you don't realize it, but

you smile because

you can not let them see you

wince when you got to eat sh*t.

So you just smile,

and you f***ing bear it.

And I remember thinking,

"Just act like a frat guy,

act like a f***ing frat guy,"

until you can

get them all back.

I went home that day

and I said,

"Mom, you got me

some f***ing Jeepers!"

I'm not gonna

let you die in here, Jack.

Hey.

Can't lose, won't lose.

Anne!

Anne!

I'm over here.

Come on.

You think Mark told Freddy

about us?

I told him.

Why?

Because I felt like

I was losing the race.

I'm not a race!

Why do you keep

looking behind us?

Because you never

see it coming.

Do you think Vera made it?

Vera has

the survival instincts

of a cockroach

during nuclear winter.

Does that mean, yes?

Does it?

Please! Please!

Is this it?

Stay here.

Jack?

Jack!

There is a light

on the other side,

and there is an opening

in the grate!

It looks like

Vera made it!

I am not going.

I can't.

Anne,

we gotta get out of here!

There is not enough room!

I can't do it!

Okay.

All right.

I'll go check it out,

all right?

Wait!

I love you.

(Crying)

Stop!

(Screaming)

You scared the sh*t

out of me!

How did you do that?

What?

You were dead!

You weren't moving!

What?

You weren't f***ing moving!

It looks like

we have a winner!

Yeah!

(Cheering)

Why do you always pass out

on your face like that?

So I don't choke.

So whose car

are we borrowing?

Miller's.

I hope it's decent.

Well, what is decent?

A sports car, a four by four,

a rear-wheel drive?

Do you know what

the best cars are?

Somebody else's.

Why is Bristor here?

Well, he's got to

earn a living.

What kind of car

would Miller drive?

That one.

Now we come to

the difficult part, Jack,

and you won't be

the first to falter.

Can we just

change the subject?

Well, rules are rules, Jack,

and if you won't

tell the truth,

then I am afraid

that I shall have to tell it.

What are you doing

in my car?

Trying to get it

fired up.

Okay, Mr. Parsons,

that's it.

MAN:

You deliberately

struck your professor

with a tire iron!

Eventually

puncturing his lung.

He died soon after.

Oh, click it or ticket.

Thank you, officer.

Thirty.

Thirty-five.

Forty!

Fifty!

Fifty-five!

He's going

too f***ing fast!

Sixty!

Sixty-five!

(Cheering)

Somebody?

Jack!

Jack!

Somebody call 9-1-1!

Are you happy now?

Huh?

Is this what you need

to get high on yourself?

Is it?

He was supposed to drive 55.

He went 72.

You are so f***ed up!

Listen to me, Jack.

MARK:

He can't hear you!

Shut the f*** up, Mark!

Am I back?

Well, you must be

if you're talking to me.

Jesus Christ!

What the f*** was that?

The crystalline amide.

I had to do a lithium alcohol

hydrogen four mixer,

and then it crystallized

back into dimethyltryptamine.

English, man!

In short,

it is the food of the gods.

No airbag.

F***!

Don't worry

about the pain, baby!

Doctor Mark

is going to set you up.

Have I ever told you about my

"you can't lose if you

don't lose" philosophy, Anne?

It's a slogan, Jack,

not a philosophy.

So, Jack,

what can you tell me?

It is a characteristic

of the human mind

to hate

the one we have injured.

Oh, very good.

Tacitus.

Are you here to make sure

that I do not tell the police

about the Brotherhood?

Veritas does not work

in that way.

I'm not even a member.

It's still

under consideration.

Professor Bristor

was just an example, but,

you and I know well,

Jack,

that is not

your real secret, is it?

Do we have a winner?!

Jesus Christ!

Jack?

What was all that noise?

Oh, lord,

look at the stars, Freddy.

Freddy, look at the stars.

You know,

if one ever did meet God,

one would have to

congratulate him on those.

Where's the roof?

That's a very touching

story, Jack.

You and your friend Freddy

seemed to be guided by angels.

It is a miracle

we both survived.

There was no miracle, Jack.

So I made some stuff up.

You know,

that's a good thing.

It means

I didn't kill Bristor,

it means

I didn't kill Marisol!

Yeah, that's right.

I can't f***ing lose, man!

Jack, why do you think

I'm here?

I have no f***ing idea.

Ask me.

You killed your best friend,

Jack.

Freddy,

look at the stars.

Freddy?

Freddy,

quit f***ing around.

Freddy?

Freddy? Freddy?

Freddy?

You killed Freddy.

Congratulations, Jack.

You made it.

Now, that was not so hard,

was it?

What about the police?

Oh, the police

won't be a problem.

(Clearing throat)

What the f*** is that?

Donald Hallford

in the flesh,

or bones, brother.

Are you f***ing serious?

I take my f***ing

very seriously!

Oh, f***!

What's time when you are dealing

with the dead, brother?

(Cheering)

It is too fast!

He's going too f***ing fast!

Somebody?

Jack!

Who are you?

You know who I am, Jack.

You know.

Anne! Anne!

Anne!
