have not done enough...

(MOANING)

..to stop the spread...

(GROANING)

(GASPS) Hot.

BART:
Hey! Hey, pal.

(PANTS) oh, fu...

You gotta be kidding me.

Should have chopped off my head

while you had the chance.

(LAUGHS) No f***ing sh*t, man.

(SCREAMS)

(JOEY CONTINUES SCREAMING)

WOMAN ON RADIO:

1505 South Wooster. An upstairs duplex.

Code 2 incident- 5401-RD-859.

You ready?

Ready, teddy.

(VIGOROUS ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

(GIRL SHRIEKS)

Drop the gun. Drop it.

Drop it, f***er.

(TYRES SQUEAL)

(CLASSICAL MUSIC CONTINUES)

In continuing crime team coverage,

the vigilante gunslingers

saved the day again.

Death toll rises as search for local

crime-fighting outlaws intensifies.

One woman relates

her harrowing experience

in the hands of

the vigilante gunslingers.

Find out how vigilantism

affects your credit standing.

And finally, in the Sky 7

investigative team's

continuing live team coverage of the

vigilante gunslingers, Clue Watch,

local Southland investigators claim

they have a break in the case,

leading them to the true identities

of the gunslingers.

Surveillance video outside

a Super Puffs hot dog stand

appears to show the suspects

exiting the crime scene

and then performing reckless

manoeuvres in their getaway vehicle

before making their escape.

Police now are looking for leads

from anyone who might

have seen the suspects

driving a late model Camaro

with a Surfboard on the roof

(ROCK MUSIC)

SONG:
I can see it now

By the look on your face

I'm about to have a problem

Got a gun out west

Always get away with it

Living in a blizzard

Coming from the tower

Giving you the word

Try to find a clear thought

inside your...

(MEN GROAN)

(METALLIC RATTLING)

Oh, yes.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, my God.

There's a shitload of coke here, dude.

Oh, dude! Holy sh*t. What a haul.

Oh, my God. Oh, dude. Oh, God.

(JOEY SNIFFS LOUDLY) Oh.

(LAUGHS)

Sh*t.

JOEY:
What's the matter?

These guys are cops, man.

No sh*t?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

What's it look like?

I'm trying to give him CPR.

Yeah, I think I can save

this one right here.

Mmm. Oh, yeah. Oh,

he's coming around. Mmm.

Oh, I think I can save him.

No. No. He's dead.

Quit screwing around, f***-ass.

These guys are cops. Did you hear me?

Yeah, they're cops. So what? OK?

The most corrupt dirtbag fucks

of this society. Jesus.

What do you think

they're doing here, huh?

Do you think they're

good-guy drug dealer cops?

What's your f***ing deal anyway?

It isn't right.

JOEY:
They were drug dealers.

You love drugs.

(BART SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

What about the children?

It's the children that suffer here.

You should think of the children.

(RINGTONE PLAYS LOUDLY)

(HANGS UP PHONE)

JOEY :
What the f***?

Matty?

What the hell

are you doing here, Matty?

Well, you must be

the vigilante gunslingers.

Some pretty dope motherfuckers, huh?

Jesus Christ, Matty.

It's been a long time.

Yeah, I haven't seen you

for a while...upright, anyway.

How you been?

Good. Fine. You?

Same ol', same ol'.

So, what's it like dying

and then coming back?

I can't say it exactly rules.

Are you f***ing serious?

You sucked your best friend's blood?

It's not like that.

I was trying to save his life.

Oh, well, good work.

Now you're both ghouls.

I warned you. I told you

to cut off his head.

But no, you knew everything, didn't you?

Alright. Alright. Fine. OK?

What the f*** are you doing here?

I followed you.

I've been watching you.

I know what you're doing.

And now Janet will too.

No. You can't tell Janet.

Janet, the police, the evening news... I'm

telling f***ing Oprah.

It's not fair what you're doing to her. You

know she still loves you.

She thinks there's hope.

She thinks there's a cure.

She's still trying

to work it out with you,

with her deadbeat, dead boyfriend.

Just let her go, Bart.

Let her get on with her life.

You've got to let me tell her.

Matty, please just give me that.

No. Game over.

Cops, Janet, and when

the sun comes up, heads off.

(SHOUTS) Matty!

(BANG!)

I will shoot you.

Joey, don't.

Matty, I'll shoot you.

Joey?

No, you won't.

(BANG!)

The f***?

You heard her.

What the f***!

Well, she said she was

gonna go to the cops.

It's Matty.

Yeah, it's Matty, OK?

The witch freak...

Just f*** up.

..who had a lesbo crush

on your girlfriend,

who was gonna go to the cops.

(COUGHS WEAKLY)

Joey, you're such a dick.

(PHONE BEEPS)

JOEY:
F*** Matty. F*** Matty, dude.

F*** her. F*** her.

She was a...

She was gonna go to the f***ing cops.

I f***ing shot her.

F*** her. You're f***ing welcome.

You're just f***ing pissed.

It's ringing. Shut up.

I had the f***ing balls to do something

that you couldn't...

Please, dude.

..f***ing do ever.

You're such a p*ssy.

F***! Voicemail.

Yeah, she's probably on the f***ing

phone with the cops right now,

so we gotta get

the f*** out of Dodge

and get the f*** out of here

before the sun rises.

What the f*** are you doing?

Where are we?

Just get everything

you can at home, OK?

Pack everything

you can into one bag.

What are you talking about?

Or don't pack, alright?

Don't pack. I don't care.

Just meet me at home,

alright? I got a plan.

Plan?

It's a surprise, OK?

Yeah.

Look, you're gonna love it. Just

meet me at home in 30 minutes, OK?

30 minutes. Don't be late.

(KEYS JANGLE)

Look, I don't know

what Mathilda told you...

Don't. Just don't.

What?

Stop it, Bart.

(JOEY ON RECORDING)

Yeah, they're cops.

So what? OK?

The most corrupt dirtbag...

They were drug dealers, Janet.

JANET:
Joey's a drug dealer.

No, it's not the same thing.

It's not the same thing at all.

These people... They had guns.

They had weapons.

Oh, so it was self-defense?

Yeah.

BART:
Yes, it was.

Well, then, why...

We need to drink blood,

Janet. I need to.

Don't you get that? If I don't

get blood I will decompose.

I'll rot.

You can use me.

What?

I mean, you won't kill me, right?

But you can get by

just on me, can't you?

You have no idea what you're saying.

I just want us to be together.

Don't do this, alright?

I want you to stay

so we can be together.

You don't understand.

Come on.

Please don't do this. Please don't.

Just take a little, just enough.

I want you to, baby.

(JANET GRUNTS)

(BREATHES RAPIDLY)

(WHIMPERS)

(BREATHES RAGGEDLY)

(MOANS)

Oh, God.

(NOVELTY CAR HORN HONKS)

(HONKS HORN)

What the f*** is that?

(LAUGHS) it's our new

recreational vehicle. Yeah!

Big, roomy, 472 big block

under the hood.

Oh, a killer AC so that

the corpses don't get too ripe.

I personally installed a 12-disc

CD changer MP3 player,

so the tunes, they're covered.

The style is apropos,

I'd say, and check it out.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah!

(JOEY INHALES DEEPLY)

I'm thinking Las Vegas. Huh?

Me and you go to Vegas.

It's open all night long.

Restaurants, gambling,

shows, showgirls...

The night-life, baby!

And then in the morning

we retire to the luxury

and safety of our two-coffin suite.
