The Dark Half Page #8

Guess we're on the same wavelength.

Ain't that right, Thad?

Don't you see what's happening?

Just look at him.

He doesn't want help writing a book.

He wants to take over your life.

Can't you see that?

I know what he wants.

What I don't know and what he doesn't

know is whether this'll really save him.

I don't think it will save him.

I think he's finished.

You know why?

Cos I don't want him around any more.

There's only one way to find out

who's finished and who's not.

Ain't that right, Thad?

Are you ready?

Just waitin' on you.

Yeah...

(fluttering)

(Thad) I'll start with Machine

stealing the police car.

Yes, that's right.

(fluttering)

- Give me a cigarette.

- I thought you quit.

I did.

Except for times like this.

Times when me and you

are workin' together.

(fluttering)

Thad.

Why don't you try, George?

You gotta break in.

I'm scared, Hoss.

Oh, you know the only way to do it...

...is to do it.

(mutters)

(fluttering)

(Stark chuckles)

(frenzied twittering)

(glass shatters)

It's comin', Thad.

It's comin' easy, it's comin' good.

I can do it. I can do it.

You shouldn't f*** with me, Hoss.

Don't you know I can tell

what you're thinkin'?

Stop it, Thad.

Stop it, or I'm gonna have to cut ya.

You're not gonna cut me, George.

You can't do sh*t to me and you know it.

I can do some sh*t

to the other folks around here.

Yes, sir,

I can do some real ugly sh*t to them.

Sit down, Thad.

Make it easy on yourself.

Sit down and... shut your eyes.

See if you can't just...

...drift on off.

You go to hell.

(fluttering)

They've come to take you away, George.

Take you back to the devil.

(child gurgles)

(Liz) Thad?

Thad!

OK. You sit here.

I gotta open the door now.

I didn't want it to be like this, Hoss.

I had a different sort of thing in mind.

Yes, I did.

They've come to write the ending, George.

Is it gonna be your ending... or mine?

(thudding)

Kinda clumsy there, George.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna give you...

one last chance here, Thad.

Stop whatever it is that you're doin' here.

I'm not doin' anything, Hoss.

I'm just waitin' around

to see how things turn out.

Stop it, Thad. Stop it.

I'm sorry, George. I can't.

Neither can you.

The ending, huh?

Well, let's see how you like this ending,

Hoss.

No!

(gun fires)

(creaking)

(screams)

Alan!

Hurry up!

- What the hell's goin' on? What is this?

- They're upstairs.

- Who?

- He took them upstairs.

- Where's Thad?

- He's upstairs. He's with Stark.

- Hold still!

- He's got the kids upstairs.

Liz, no! No!

Wait! Wait here!

(Stark screaming)

Liz.
