Soul Fray Page #3

You know, you've

worked overtime,

gosh, something like

the last two weeks in a row.

I think you need

a day off.

I'm fine, really.

I think, I think you need

to take a long weekend.

The tourists have

all passed through,

and I can handle

the store myself, I think.

For a day.

Okay. all right.

-Thanks, Mr. odgeby.

-Sure.

-Lock up and I'll see you

on Monday.

-Will do.

-And Vincent...

-Yeah?

One more thing.

[Roaring]

[Men cheering]

Hell yeah, I told you

they'd pull it together.

Hail to the skins, baby.

Pete, you're missing

the game of the century

over here.

Shut up, gaywad.

I'm coming.

The end of an era.

In the absence of a woman,

Pete has to make

his own sandwich.

Yeah, where did your girl

get off to?

Ha, probably f***ing lost

in the woods or something.

On some nature walk.

[Jock #1]

Well, should someone

go look for her,

it's getting

pretty dark outside.

[Pete]

and miss the game?

[Scoffs]

B*tch wants

to go exploring,

she can find

her own way back.

Fair enough.

Toss me a beer.

Thank you.

So Angela,

you seem like a good woman,

my boy sure does

need one.

No, no, no, no.

-You play on marrying Mike?

-No.

[Laughing]

-No, you should know.

-[Mike] No.

-Stop. stop. Stop.

-He still can't tie

a necktie for sh*t.

That's your job now.

-Aj.

-oh, relax, Mike.

Look, you're

panicking her.

Stop it.

We're just having

a little fun...

At your expense.

-And hers. Stop it.

-Okay, all right, okay.

-Toast, to the newest member

of our little family.

-I'm sorry.

That's all right.

Angela o'Murphy.

Who to me, doesn't look

Irish at all.

I'm just saying.

-Nice.

-welcome to the family.

-Cabin 206.

-[Eryn] Cheers.

-Cheers.

-yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Happy to be here.

So it's been a while

since we had another girl

in our midst.

Mind if I ask

what shampoo you use?

Uh, that's my cue.

Time to go do something manly.

Come on, Mike, let's go

chop down a tree or something.

Are you--

hold on.

-Are we actually--

-[Aj] Mike, let's go.

Are you--

I'll be back?

Dude, are you--

are we seriously...

Or are you just

talking nonsense?

Very well played, you two.

You sure know how

to tag team.

We have a lot

of experience.

So what did you really want

to talk about?

You, mostly.

What you're looking for,

what you're expecting.

Oh. I see.

You want to see

if I'm a good fit.

[Sighs]

but don't take it

the wrong way.

No. no, no, no.

Not at all.

I wish I had a sibling

who would look out for me

every once in a while.

I mean, see you two

interact and...

You mean

the world to Mike

and Mike means

the world to you.

I'm just an outsider.

I mean, if I didn't get

the third degree,

I'd be kind of offended.

Well, he really likes you.

I...

i kinda like him.

He's sweet.

And it's been a while

since a nice guy who showed

any interest in me.

He's probably the nicest guy

that I know.

And he really could use

a good girl.

Please, don't hurt him.

I promise.

Cross my heart.

Two promises.

Pinky swear.

Like from the...

-Yeah.

-do we do this?

Isn't it better

with thumbs?

[Both gibbering]

[Laughing]

What the-- I don't know

what we just did there.

By the way,

i use off-brand shampoo.

The real secret is I use

paper towels to dry off.

-That works?

-You tell me.

-Oh!

-'cause look at...

Look at her hair!

Look at her go.

Beautiful.

so...

You got...

You got some of it...

Yeah. it's kinda stuck

to your lip.

[Both laughing]

-[Both laughing]

-Oh, sh*t.

[Clattering]

[Voice whispering

in Latin]

[Electrical buzzing]

-No!

-not in the middle

of the game!

Pete, what is it

with this place?

-You said it was sturdy.

-It is.

Shut your face.

I'm gonna go check

the power box.

You're just gonna

leave us here

sitting in the dark?

Put on your big boy pants

and deal with it.

Do you think Pete's

being so moody

because he knows his girl

is out walking around

with some nerd?

Del, wouldn't you be

if it was your girl?

Dude, I'm gay.

Nuh-uh.

Wait. no, seriously,

are you really?

-[Eryn groans]

-[Aj] Not again.

Hand check, people.

[Eryn]

did the generator run out

of gas or something?

[Mike]

probably.

All right, I'm on it.

Hold up, Mike.

Hold up, wait, wait.

-[Eryn] what?

-[Mike] Why?

What's up?

F***ing Angie.

Thinks she can walk away

from me like that.

Now I've gotta deal

with this stupid freakin' power.

-[Electrical buzzing]

-What the hell?

[Voice whispering

in Latin]

[Footsteps approach]

God damn it.

I can't see sh*t.

I feel like

one of those...

B*tches in a horror movie.

-Sh*t.

-whoa!

This way.

Well...

what's up?

Why are we stopping?

This is not a good time

to be stopping?

They're not following us.

So...

-Isn't that a good thing?

-No, not it's not a good thing.

We're being herded

like sheep.

Herded where?

I'm thinking here.

[Rustling]

Holy sh*t.

[Voice whispering

in Latin]

Guys, we're in

deep sh*t here.

Hey!

This way.

My house, quickly.

Are you kidding me?

That's back towards

ground zero.

At this point,

what do we have to lose?

F***.

Watch my back,

this is gonna take a second.

[Buttons beeping]

You're Claire, right?

Girl from next door?

The one that everyone

thinks is paranoid.

You wanna chat

or do you wanna

live to see tomorrow?

[Voice whispering

in Latin]

Here, take this.

Okay then,

let's go.

Duck.

Door, door, door.

Door! Door! Door! Door!

To be paranoid

is simply to be over prepared

at the wrong time.

[Crickets chirping]

-[Gasping]

-Jesus.

So bright.

Why is it so bright?

Dude, guys,

watch your step.

Sorry.

Well, gee, you have

enough light?

No.

Interesting.

Look, you all

have plenty of questions.

I can understand that.

I have some

of the answers.

But before I can have

a serious conversation

with any of you,

I need you all

to be willing to believe

in some pretty

crazy sh*t.

Well, you got

all of us here.

So tell us

what you know.

This lake

is a doorway.

From where or to where

i don't know.

But I do know

that something is

getting through

from the other side.

Something that

shouldn't be here.

Okay.

You're talkin' monsters?

Like "swamp thing?"

I'm talking about evil.

Pure, malicious,

conscious, evil.

I'm talking about

a darkness

that is spreading like

the f***ing plague

and commandeering

the bodies of the locals.

[Scoffs]

you can't be serious.

Can't I?

Recognize anyone out there?

Shopkeepers.

neighbors.

What would you

rather believe,

they all suffered

some sort of psychotic

break together?

Good people

gone bad overnight?

I don't know,

maybe there's

some sort of sickness

going around.

Then why would we

be immune?

Maybe we aren't.

Maybe we're going

to get sick too.

It's only

a matter of time.

We should be getting

the hell out of here.

[Scoffs]

good luck with that.

I'd wager there are dozens

of them outside right now.

Waiting for one of you

to step out that door,

so they can

rip you apart.

What's keeping them
