The Flaw in the Alibi Page #3

---

So what's in San Francisco?

It's business.

What's her name?

Lola, I prefer to keep my work life

and my private life separate.

- It keeps things simple.

- Simple is boring.

Boring is safe.

And safe is for old people.

This is fun, want to keep going?

I got a plane to catch.

Have a good weekend?

But you see, romance is my greatest ally.

That makes people vulnerable.

Distracts it, and utterly idiotic.

You sure, you didn't tell anyone?

In short, perfect clients.

We've been over this a thousand times.

What did you tell your boyfriend?

That I'm visiting my mom.

Trust me, he's an idiot.

So after the wedding,

how long before we can get together?

I don't know we might have to

cool it for a little...

Oh sh*t, does your boyfriend

drive a black SUV?

No.

Will you calm down?

Did you ever get a blow job

at a hundred miles an hour?

We're only going sixty.

Then you better step on it.

Hey, hey.

One second!

You've got about ten seconds

before I rip off all your clothes

and f*** you right here

in the lobby.

Can't wait to do that.

Now, what can I do for you

nice young people?

We have a room booked.

Under Elliottt. Mr. And Mrs. Ray Elliottt.

Hi. Wendell Hatch, arrogant prick.

Wendell

Hi Wendell Hatch, good to meet you.

Hi Wendell.

Hello.

You son of a b*tch.

Takes one to know one, Mr. Williams.

Good to see you.

God, didn't we have a hell

of a time in Bermuda?

My liver's still not talking to me.

They forget to print you a name tag?

That's what you get for pre-registering.

Say Michael, you ever talk to

that tax shelter guy

What was his name,

Jack something?

No I was hoping you could tell me

I got so much loose change

tied up with that guy.

Now I can't get the bastard on the phone.

So you know what Jack used to say

the only sure investment is tombstone.

I know what it means.

Come on I want you to

meet somebody. Hey Jimmy!

Come on.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

That was amazing.

All tingling.

Hello.

Hey, sugar,

how's work going?

Nope, just hanging out with my sister.

You want to say hi?

Hang on...

Sorry, Babe, she's in the bathroom.

Yeah, me too.

Study hard.

What are you doing?

You tring to get me killed?

Have you...

Now, while we let the little

blue pills kick in,

it's my turn.

OK, now what...

- You could have scratched me.

- The closer I get, the harder you pull.

Okay. But what if I hurt you?

Yes, please.

Fine, the safety word is 'gum'

Okay.

- Hello?

- Ray?

Who is this?

I think she's dead, Ray.

I don't...she's not waking up.

- Wendell?

- Hell f***ed. This is so F***ED.

Okay Wendell, get a hold of yourself.

She, you know, she liked it rough.

I just, I thought I was...

She didn't say 'gum' Ray

I was listening, she never said 'gum'!

Wendell, did you check her pulse?

She's blue. That's not normal, right?

Listen to me. Check her pulse.

Do you know how to do that?

I gotta get out of here.

I can't stay here.

Now Wendell, you must not leave the room.

Do you hear?

You need to call an ambulance.

It was an accident.

I can't go to jail

I'm not going to jail.

If I f***ing call an ambulance.

This whole thing comes out,

do you understand me?

You, your business, my father,

Your clients, this whole thing.

- You gonna be ruined.

- Well It wouldn't be the first time.

Bull-sh*t. you work for me, goddamn it

You have to do what I say Ray.

It doesn't work like that Wendell?

You gotta help me please.

Please don't make me beg, man.

Please help me.

Okay I'll call you back in five minutes.

Don't f***ing move.

Bobo, get increase on your money.

Just little bit.

Putty.

Hello?

Hello?

Hey Putty, it's Ray.

You up for

a little freelance work?

Ray?

Someone's coming to solve this out.

Oh Jesus Christ,

thank you so much, Thank you.

Now Wendell, this is very important,

so please pay attention,

Okay.

When he gets there, do NOT give him

Your real name, do you understand?

I'm Wendell. I mean Pete.

Hey Wendell.

- She come with the room?

- What?

Did the dead girl come with the room

- or did you bring her here yourself?

- It was an accident.

- Usually is.

- No, it was her idea.

I doubt that.

So no one saw you moved the body?

No.

Wendell. Wendell, look at me.

Did anybody know you were

taking her out of town?

No. I mean, the guys knew I was going,

but they didn't know who.

Is anyone likey come looking for her?

She has a Mexican.

She has a boyfriend who is Mexican

He is a Hispanic-American,

but he would f***ing

kill us both if he knew.

The guy at the bed and breakfast saw me.

I think he saw me.

- You know this was all her idea.

- Shut up, Wendell.

Did you have any idea?

You killed a girl.

I'm sorry, believe me.

F*** you think I want this to happen?

Look, the good thing is

it's your name on the town bill, right?

Not mine, so technically

I wasn't even there.

You're not gonna tell my dad, are you?

Give me my credit card.

Okay get moving

And don't, ever ever

let me see you again.

Hello, is this the number for reporting

a lost credit card?

Yeah.

Ray Elliott.

Hello.

I know what you are thinking

but a deal is a deal.

Darling, you should really try

and give me a little more notice.

Come on in.

Sorry to interrupt. Are you busy?

Yes, Ray, I was having a glamour night.

I'm goint to...

I'm going to tell you something

and I don't want you to ask any questions.

Well, we all know how good I am at that.

We slept together last night.

Did I like it?

I said no questions, remember?

- Did you like it?

- Lola.

How do you know I wasn't

with someone else last night?

Were you?

I thought the idea was

to keep our private life

and work life separate?

Okay,

go ahead.

You invited me over yesterday morning.

I showed up at seven-thirty PM

with a bottle of wine.

- What kind?

- Merlot.

And you cooked me dinner.

Don't tell this story my mother.

She'll know you're making it up.

A roast.

Lasagna. I can make lasagna.

Fine, lasagna.

I showed up at seven-thirty, we had dinner

and I didn't leave until

nine o'clock in the morning.

Just one more question.

What?

Are you gonna call me?

So you are the only one

that put my kid and that f***ing girl

together at the bed and breakfast.

Plus the inn keeper but

I don't see how anyone's gonna register

in the cop's radar.

So how much do you

want to make this go away?

That's not what this is about.

I will give you 23 grand cash

right now to keep my kid out of it.

Hey that's what I've got.

My emergency cash reserve.

Robert, I don't want your money.

Hello, leaving the f***ing conversation.

Our actions have consequences.

Yours, mine, everyone's.

Wait a minuite.

If this is some kind of con Ray

I pay up, and this chick shows up with

my 23 grand on some beach somewhere.

No way, no f***ing way.

She's dead

Your son killed her. Deal with it.

So that I don't have to.

Okay Ray.

I will see what I can do.

- This is Carol.

- Hey it's Ray.

You working this weekend?

Come on man, you know that I never sleep.
