See You In Valhalla Page #2

And eats

peyote and mushrooms

every now and again.

But, you know, if it's from the

ground, I guess it's okay,

right?

Wow, you sound like a really

good doctor, Barry.

I pick my battles.

And the, uh...

The bows and arrows?

I told him

to pick up a hobby,

so there it is.

Hmm.

I was going on the theory

that idle hands are

the devil's playthings.

You know, that, and he wanted

to pick up a skill

that would prepare him

for the zombie apocalypse.

Oh, well, you know, that

makes perfect sense.

I don't date Kiwi

for his brains.

That's funny.

More.

So I guess psychology is really

working out for you.

Like that.

Yeah.

Makewi was

my first patient.

Free sessions

for free workouts.

Free sex

for the both of us.

Ugh. Gross.

So what's the story

with this guy?

We met in my building, been han

ging out for a little bit.

He's a nice enough guy.

It's good you're

finally dating again.

What do you mean

finally?

Let's not pretend

we don't stalk each other

on Facebook

once in awhile.

Wow. Analyzing me

through Facebook.

Is this some new

therapy tactic that

I'm unaware of, or...

Whoa! Don't get

so defensive, okay?

We barely talk.

I haven't seen you

in forever, and, look,

I'm just... I'm doing

the best I can

to avoid the fact

that Max is dead, okay?

Consider it small talk.

Yes. This is a very

f***ed-up situation,

but do not dodge

the fact that you didn't

call me either.

I was kind of busy

getting my doctorate.

It's not like you were

waiting by the phone.

Oh please You're a psychologist

You're barely a doctor.

How does that

even make sense?

I was just saying I'm glad you

found a guy, you know?

When did this

become a fight?

You know, I moved away

because I didn't want

to talk about

my past to anybody.

And I do not post my love

life on the Internet.

Okay. Well, now we're here,

and maybe, you know,

somebody's gonna ask you

what you've been up to,

because they haven't seen you

in a while. I'm sorry.

Let's just pretend that we're

here for our brother's funeral

and not talk

about my personal life.

Please?

Fine. I won't bring it up.

Feel my base. See that?

That's...

That's a strong base.

See what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Put your arms around.

God, I hate that smell.

So do bad spirits.

Hello?

Hi. Can we help you?

No, I got this.

Are you

baby Ashley?

Hi, Grandpa.

Yes, Dad.

That's

your granddaughter.

Heh heh heh.

Come here.

Look at you.

You're so beautiful.

Heh. Thanks.

I'm sorry.

I gotta sit down.

Yes. Time flies when you

never see each other.

Time goes slow

when your family

doesn't come to see you.

What are you doing?

Your hair

is so beautiful.

Um, Dad?

Yeah. Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Uh, who are you?

I'm Faye.

She's my nurse.

So, anyone else

here yet?

You're the last.

Where's your wife?

Did she think the death

of a family member

wasn't important enough?

She doesn't think

it's important to mourn

or celebrate suicide.

Magnus did not

kill himself.

All right,

relax, kiddo.

He's with the spirits now.

Okay? He's in

a much better place.

Okay.

And who are you

in relation

to any of this?

I'm Faye!

Your father's nurse.

All right, you know, Faye is

someone who knows more

about what was going

on here than you, pal.

Oh, yeah?

How's that work?

Magnus died here.

Where?

He was living here.

Ugh!

How long are

these people

gonna be surrounding the house?

I could really use a StarBees

right about now.

Don.

Hey,

you're here.

Little Ash.

Hi, Uncle Barry.

You're all grown up.

It's Ashley.

Ashley.

Hey, guys!

Hey.

Well, you look healthy.

Yeah, yeah.

Lost some weight.

Feeling good.

Thanks

to this guy.

This is my boyfriend Makewi.

M-Makoowi?

Makewi.

Ah.

Is that a skirt?

Oh, my God.

Baby Ashley.

This is crazy.

We look like

we're the same age.

Hey, Jo.

Hey, Don.

Oh, I'm... I'm Pete,

by the way.

Yeah. This is Pete.

Sorry.

Yeah. So...

Well, here we are

all together.

Yeah, we are all here.

You know what? I want to take

a picture of this.

Can you guys

just come together?

Yeah.

I'm just gonna...

I am

very confused.

Okay. Ready, and...

got it. Just beautiful.

Just beautiful.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

Who are you?

Did she take it?

It was

a mental picture.

So I... I wish

that all you guys

were here together under

better circumstances.

Oh, yeah, do you?

Oh, Dad just told me that, um,

Max was living here.

Wait. What do you mean

he was living here?

You could've said that when

you called, Dad.

Woody?

All right, look.

I need to explain

something to you guys

before you blow this

out of proportion.

So I want to talk

to the three of you

upstairs in the attic.

Five minutes.

Why does he need

to see me?

Kiwi.

He just said me.

He pointed at me.

No. No, he didn't

point at you.

I don't know, Dave.

When I figure it out,

I will call you.

Yes. I have to be here

for a couple days.

Donald, Donald!

...back in the office

as soon as I can.

All right. I gotta go.

I'll call you back.

Dad, what the hell did I say

about my paintings?

You have no right

to do this.

I didn't do it.

Magnus did.

I hid this

when the cops came.

Just a collection

of his thoughts,

some poetry,

things like that. It...

I just felt like it

was important to him.

I didn't want the cops

to have it.

Great. Now we're

withholding evidence.

They took everything

they needed.

Dad, you have

to take these down.

I can't.

I want to keep...

everything the way

it was when he left it.

How long

did he stay here?

He came back

six months ago.

And you didn't

tell any of us?

- He wasn't ready yet.

- Ready?

Yeah.

This is my father,

Woodrow.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Come here.

Hi.

Come in. Come in.

Come in. Come in.

You got it.

Thank you.

I have so much

to tell you.

When they left

the Viking colony,

his girlfriend,

she was having

a hard time adjusting.

She soon relapsed.

She couldn't handle it.

She died.

I'm so scared.

It's all right.

Jo, he said your paintings

inspired him to write.

Magnus tried

to stay sober...

but the drugs overtook him.

He kissed me on the cheek,

and he left.

He came back

because he wanted us

to be a family again.

He wanted to be the glue

like your mom was,

and now I want that, too.

He said that these pictures

reminded him of you guys.

So how's school?

It's good.

Um, I have a 4.1 GPA.

Oh.

Yeah.

I was the first female

to ever

go undefeated in CIF

championship tennis,

and I founded my school

Young Republicans club.

Should have my pick

of any college

in the country.

Mm-hmm. We are

very proud of her.

Did you go to college?

Uh, no. I, uh...

I got my G.E.D.,

and then I started

taking some art classes.

But, uh, you know, I realized

there's more to life

than just sitting

in a classroom,

learning things.

Most of the stuff

you could just look up on the

Internet anyways, right?

Can't learn how to be a doctor

from the Internet.

Yeah, but you're not
