is it worth the wait?

(phone vibrates)

It's about time!

You just can't stand

to be away from me,

can you baby?

Oh, you know

I can't stand it.

So, you ready?

Yeah, I got your

little present,

and we'll be all set

to give it to her,

but...

don't you think

it's a little...gruesome?

Don't think of it

as brutality.

Think of it as...

simplicity.

When?

Uh, soon, I promise.

Please don't make me

wait much longer.

I feel like

I'm going insane.

I'd never do that to us.

This is for us.

I just, I don't know

how much longer

I can stand this waiting.

I haven't gotten a real

night's sleep in weeks.

It has to be tonight, okay?

All good things

come to those who wait.

You know I hate clichs.

It'll be ours.

All ours.

All ours.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I'm so glad to see you.

You've been so busy

and I've just missed you.

I have something special

planned for you tonight.

Me too.

Come on!

Walking down the hallway and I

cannot seem to concentrate

Already hit the floor four

times during my dizzy state

Walk around today like I

haven't got a f***ing clue

And I'm the one

who's f***ed up

and I'm wondering

what's wrong with you

I think I'm losing

my mind

I think I'm losing

my mind

I think I'm losing

my mind

Once again

Hypocrite who hates

on hypocrites

I'm always first

to contradict

(music fades out)

Come on, tonight!

Get it done tonight!

(moaning)

What's the matter?

I'm pretty sure you

got yours, too, you know.

Oh, I did.

In spades.

Then what's wrong?

You're beautiful.

Thank you.

But you're trying

to change the subject.

Did you get it?

Of course I got it.

It's in a duffle bag

in the living room.

I figured you could

use that

to carry our loot.

Isn't that a little

barbaric?

Don't be childish.

I got it with cash

20 miles from home.

Everyone has one.

No one will

suspect a thing.

We could even just

throw it in a lake

or a river

after it's done.

It'll be long gone.

Never to be seen again.

Can't be that easy.

Why not?

I watch those

crime investigation shows.

No murder weapon,

no conviction.

Do you have

to use that word?

Look, you said it yourself.

You love me,

and I love you.

She's in the way.

She doesn't care

about you.

At least not the way I do.

No one could love you

the way I do.

She keeps her money

in a drawer

in the back

of her closet.

Nobody knows it's there.

She doesn't even

trust banks,

the dumb b*tch.

Don't speak ill

of the dead.

Jesus.

I love you.

I love you, too.

We will be together.

Once she's gone.

Ah! Was it worth it!

(panicked breathing)

Nothing!

Goddammit!

(giggling)

(giggling)

(phone vibrates)

You all right?

Me? Oh yeah, I'm just stretching

it out, you know?

I heard your cell phone

go off.

You know,

you're pretty popular tonight.

No, not really.

Come on.

There's been more

buzzing in your pants

than in a nun's sex life.

(giggling)

You're sick.

Well, that's why

you love me.

Yeah, I guess so.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

You're acting

a little off.

No, not really.

You know, try to relax.

Here, you want

the remote?

(giggling)

(phone vibrating)

Soon?

That's it?

Is this even

gonna happen today?

Oh, I've gotta

get a grip.

We're gonna be fine.

We'll be fine.

(phone vibrates)

Oh, what was that?

You okay?

Yeah, this movie's...

it's wild.

You're awfully

jumpy tonight.

I guess so.

Do you want something,

like some soup or popcorn?

Maybe a drink?

No, I'm all right, okay?

All right, well,

just cool your jets.

Yeah?

Are you okay?

I thought you were being

a little weird yourself.

Yeah, well...I'm tired.

Oh.

I guess I thought

that we were gonna watch

a midnight movie tonight.

That's what I thought

was gonna happen.

Yeah, well,

I changed my mind.

This is gonna

take forever.

Ugh, Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ!

This is just like him.

Just like him.

He promises so much.

Does he ever follow through?

Why should he?

He's got two women

in his pocket.

Ugh!

I must look like

such an idiot.

I love him so much!

(heavy breathing)

He loves me.

I know he does.

He really loves me.

Baby, I finally did it.

It was worth the wait, I...

Tara?

(screams)

Nothing?

Are you kidding me?!

Work with me!

Goddammit!

Goddammit.

(knocking)

(knocking)

Was it worth it, Tara?

Hello?

Was it worth it?

Who's ever out there...

you better get the hell out!

I got a .44 Magnum

and I'm not afraid to use it!

That is if my

cop boyfriend

doesn't come out first!

(crickets chirping)

(panicked breathing)

Maybe I'm not

cut out for this.

(muffled gurgling)

Maybe I'm just hungry.

I'm just seeing things.

I gotta get

a grip on myself.

Are your eggs tainted?

An epidemic that's

sweeping the nation

tonight at 10 o'clock.

(phone vibrates)

"I'm sorry"?

What the f***

does that even mean?

Just do the deed!

Just bash her

in her skull!

This is taking weeks!

He's taking the money.

He's taking the money.

He has more than enough

evidence on me.

He can prove

I bought the hammer.

He hated her!

That bastard!

You can't do this to me!

You're not bringing

me down, lover boy.

I'm not some

stupid bimbo!

(door cracks)

Was it worth it, Tara?

Was it?

I didn't do it!

I didn't kill you!

I'm sorry!

Was it worth the wait?

Was it?

I didn't do anything!

Was it worth the wait?

I didn't kill you,

it was his idea!

I just went along with it!

Was it worth the wait?

I'm sorry!

(thump)

(car door opens)

(door squeaks)

Tara?

I'm so sorry.

I just couldn't do it.

But...we could still

be together.

I mean, I broke up

with her tonight.

(screaming)

All right.

Time's up, deadbeat.

You know, maybe patience

isn't a virtue after all.

But let's not let

the moral of the story slide by.

Always kill

your girlfriend.

Well, I hope you have

all enjoyed

this final night

delving into

what scares us

most of all:

the unknown.

As I prepare to make

my own voyage

into the ambiguity

all around us,

I just wanna say

that I appreciate you

lending me your ears

and your minds.

Like I promised all along,

I've given them

back to you,

but with one small

piece of advice attached:

don't spend your time

fearing the undiscovered,

for life is far

too short for most.

Simply respect it

for what it is,

and sail onwards

aboard the big ocean

we call life.

I'm Amos Satan,

your favorite fiend,

signing off.

Ahoy, my friends,

and good night.

(deep exhale)

I'm sorry,

but the show's over,

I've gotta pack up.

You're not

going anywhere.

I don't understand.

You owe people money.

If you don't have

the cash,

there are other ways

for you to pay.

Why don't you just

turn around

and walk away, okay?

We'll leave it at that.

You know,

I'm a fan of yours, actually.

I listen to your show

pretty often.

Tonight's episode

might be my favorite.

But I realized something.

You don't listen

to your own stories.

'Cause everyone that lies,

cheats, and steals

gets their comeuppance.

I guess tonight
