They just kinda swim and sh*t.

Uh, sort of.

Okay, it's like really real.

So, virtual reality...

At my command...

Listen!

[Gasps]

Stuart. [Sighs]

I thought you weren't

coming home till tomorrow.

- Well, you know.

- Oh.

God, I hate that fish smell.

[Sighs] They said on the TV

that there was rain up there.

What are you doing?

Come on. I've been sleeping

- Oh, me too.

[Sighs]

Mmm.

[Claire Chuckling]

- Oh.

- [Claire] Ooh, you're all wet.

Yeah. You'll have to dry me off.

Did I ever tell you about what happened

in the last Pomona game in ' ?

- You remember that game?

- Yeah, I broke my- broke my ankle.

Right. Okay, well, while you were

snapping your ankle...

me and Red...

we slipped Mickeys

on these four girls.

- [Chuckles]

- This is true. These, like, bootleg quaaludes.

Like - Like dangerous stuff, right?

And I remember 'cause

two of the girls' names was Kelly. Remember?

I think you might have met

those two Kellys before.

He doesn't call you, does he?

- What do you mean?

- You know, when you're workin'.

Oh. I don't think so.

I mean, I get a lot of Bills...

but it's - it's a common name.

'Cause you'd recognize

his voice, right?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, it was so weird.

The bishop in my parents' church

called me.

Oh, and he wanted, um,

an incest call...

with, like, a four-year-old girl.

I mean, I look at, you know,

Joe-Joe orJosette.

Man, that is f***ed up.

Oh, man.

Oh, that could just

f*** your life up.

I mean, a little eight-year-old girl...

she just does whatever

the adult tells her to do.

Oh, man. L- I know.

Believe me, that's f***ed.

Okay, look, l- l- I don't condone it...

but it's a money call.

And keeps him off

the streets, anyway.

- [Jazz]

- I like this music.

Yeah. This is good, huh? It's like it's not -

I don't know. It's different.

It's kind of dry.

It's like a dry humping...

some wet... p*ssy... flap.

Wet p*ssy.

I know what that's all about.

[Moaning]

[Sighs]

You make me very happy.

- Claire.

- Hmm?

We found a body up there.

A girl.

Guess she was murdered.

Stuart.

[Sighs]

Well, when we got there, she was -

This, uh, naked body in the water...

just floatin' there.

Dead.

Jesus.

When? Were you fishing?

Nah. No, we -we just got up there.

We're setting up camp, and -

[Chuckles]

Well, Vern saw it in the water.

[Sighs]

It was really somethin'.

I never experienced

anything like it before.

Hell, no one knew what to do.

What did you do?

Well, you know,

there wasn't much we could do.

It was - It was gettin' dark...
