The Black Waters of Echo's Pond Page #4
Sh*t.
I hope you got enough
batteries for the boom box.
Hey, you know,
I wonder, what would Rick do
if he knew that we were
smoking his sh*t?
Well, at least he's good
for something.
- What? What's so funny?
- Look what you're doing right now.
You're so f***ing rude.
I can smoke
and I did that at the same time.
Okay, my roll.
Let's do this.
Go ahead.
- Are you okay?
- Eight.
- Hey.
- One, two,
three, four, five,
six, seven, eight.
- "Unnameable."
- Shh.
Listen.
"A fruitless wish
could drive thee mad.
What hath thee always yearned for,
yet never had?"
Sex with twins.
Excuse me, are you talking
about sex with my wife?
Hold on.
Hold on just a second.
Hold on. Listen to me.
You two used to date
and we all know for a fact
have had sex.
So you've had sex
with my girl.
Listen. Why can't I have sex
with yours? It'd make us even.
The same goes for Renee.
Plus I've always wanted
to do twins.
- You're killing me.
- I think it's time to move on, okay?
It's done. Done. Finito.
Ah, doubles.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
- Oh, my God.
- Whoa. What the f***?
Did you see that?
on some kind of a timer or something?
- Holy sh*t.
- Oh, my God. Oh.
Oh, my God.
"Come ye all to the carnival
of curses big and small.
Take thy turn and spin
the wheel of Exum--"
Exium.
I said that.
You repeated me.
"Of Ex--ll
what was that again?
- Exium.
- "Exium,
who was sentenced
to turn for eternity."
Okay.
"Carved in stone,
words deep and bold.
Thou must grant
the wish last told."
Light, camera, action,
damn it.
I don't want to play
this game anymore.
Hey, rules are rules.
There's no way you're having sex
with my sister.
This is ridiculous, okay?
It's cheating.
Whoa, whoa, wait a second.
I may have a solution.
Is that really cheating
if we all do it together?
I mean, we're friends.
We know each other.
You two are sisters,
for God's sake.
Look, if it will
make it easier,
you two can sleep with me
and then sleep with Anton.
Hell, or all four of us all together.
Just no grab-ass from you, okay?
- Erica, What? No.
- Hey, let's do it.
I can't feel my toes.
You know that I have always been
a little bit resentful
that you've hooked up
with Anton.
So this is a way
to fix that forever.
I'm really enjoying
playing the hell out of this game.
- This is some fun sh*t.
- I don't have any toes.
First of all, there's no way
in a million years.
We roomed together,
and Erica thought
that "420" was
a household cleaner.
She did. She did.
Wait, she didn't lose her
virginity until when she was, like, 21?
- She's still a virgin.
- Why do you bring this up?
Guys, easy.
yeah?
Let's go, boys.
Erica, hold on.
I guess that's our cue.
- Don't stay up.
- Oh, sh*t.
Oh, my--
Get the f***--
I love this game.
Oh, damn,
I got the munchies.
Well?
Switch.
- Come on, let's all go for a dip.
- What are you doing?
We're just screwing
with you guys.
Although the fact that you're
getting into it is really starting
- to make me horny.
- I second that.
Come on. Come on.
- Be careful.
- Just follow me.
- Come on. It's all right.
- Okay, just be careful.
Jesus Christ.
Pete, you scared
the hell out of me.
Inoficed
the lights weren't on.
Did the power go off?
Yeah, it went out
about an hour ago.
Yeah, well, it's an old house.
It happens.
Can you fix it?
Oh, no,
I can't fix it tonight.
Tell everybody I'll be going
into the mainland.
I'll get a box of fuses.
Brought you some candles.
Ain't no big city fire trucks
out here,
so don't go burning down
my house.
Man, that is some good sh*t.
Man, what the hell
did you put in that thing?
- You want some?
- Hell, no.
Where the hell
did everybody go?
You don't want to know.
It's your turn.
Oh, it's my turn. Thank you.
- Whoa.
- Hey.
It's like it has a mind
of its own.
Hey, hey, what the hell?
I was winning here. Come on, man.
It can't be running on gears
'cause I don't see a crank.
And it's too old
to be running on batteries.
where Narcissus drowned
after falling in love
with his own reflection.
There thou will find
his lover Echo
who replenishes the water
with her tears."
So romantic.
So depressing.
"The pond may look shallow,
but this watery mirror
is as deep as the soul.
So share not thy vision,
or thou might just fall in."
What?
Nothing.
Says here
you have to roll again.
Okay.
"Carry out thy vision
seen in Echo's pond."
What?
What? You didn't actually
see something, did you?
Come with me.
Where are we going?
Follow me
and I'll show you.
Oh, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Where are you going?
I'm right here. Are you leaving me?
Hey, can I come?
Oh, man, I don't know
what I would do if I were you,
but you have to admit,
that is pretty damn hot.
I mean, well, it's not like
she's cheating on me
with a guy or anything--
you know, like that.
It's fine with me
if it's fine with you.
I mean, this is cool.
This is cool, right?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
My turn.
"Honesty,
often akin to poisonous drinks,
tell thy friend
what thou truly thinks."
Based on my observation,
if you really want to elevate
your status in this company,
a considerable attitude adjustment.
Now the whole
"I'm black and I'm proud" thing
doesn't fly in the corporate world.
You have to be a team player.
Now quit the Y.
Join the country club.
Take up golf.
It's called "building relationships."
And what's the deal
with your attendance lately?
You know that desk
and that phone at work?
Think of that phone
as your ATM machine.
You have to be on that phone
to get the money out.
You don't get the apps--
you can't get the loan.
If you don't get the loan,
then you don't get paid.
Remember your ABCs--
"always be closing."
What the f*** is wrong
with you, man?
Hello!
Trent?
Is that you?
Come on.
Come on, man,
please untie me.
So tell me why you did it.
Dude, I don't know
what you're talking about.
Jesus, Trent, are you
out of your f***ing mind?
You sabotaged my loan file.
Why?
It really wasn't my intention.
Wrong f***ing answer.
We can do this all f***ing night.
I don't give a sh*t, all right?
I already know you did it.
Why did you do it?
I got greedy,
plain and simple.
I got myself into debt
really bad.
And I just needed one big payday
to get things back on track.
I saw an opportunity
and I took it.
But like I said,
I had plans to make it all right.
How was I to know
that closing that deal
would get me promoted?
I just needed the commission.
If you needed money,
all you had to do was ask.
No.
You were just trying
to show me up.
No, man. No.
Yeah.
It really wasn't intentional.
- That's exactly what it was.
- Let me go. Let me go!
You wanted to show everybody
