The Singing Detective Page #8

No, we'll give these klutzes

one more chance

to eliminate the warbler.

He's a sitting duck.

l'd like to see the bullet

splatter his larynx.

Dan Dark is the real killer.

He poisons other people's lives.

He thinks he's smart...

but, really,

he's very, very sad.

l'm sorry.

l'm sorry.

Can you see?

Can you see, Mr. Dark?

You like?

This is what you want

from a woman, Dan.

Believe her to be a whore.

Make her one.

You like?

You want?

You're so sad.

Sad... and sick.

Using your childhood

to foul up the lives of those

who really care for you.

Using your illness as a weapon

against anything clean,

and honest and loving.

You disgust me.

You sick little creep.

You poisonous, malformed,

cynical heap of sh*t.

No!

No...

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Okay, sure.

Why not?

Why aren't you in the bed?

l'm not in the bed

because l

stood up all by myself.

Fantastic.

Yeah, see what l can do.

l'll be walking out of here

next week.

Well, don't overdo it.

You look...

Are you hot?

Mm-mm.

Okay, 'cause that's how

people get disappointed,

you know?

You got to take it easy.

No, l'm fine.

Day by day, in every way,

l'm getting better

and better.

All right, well,

l'll let you stand up

while l lubricate you.

l think l can,

but l just... my knees...

No, no.

l was just kidding.

No, l don't expect you to...

l'm just so glad

that you're being...

lt's a real

improvement.

You know, you're one of

the nicest people

l've met in a long time.

Well, you haven't been anywhere

in a long time.

One of the prettiest, too.

Oh, your eyes.

What about them?

Your mouth.

The way your head

joins your neck,

as though

it's hesitating...

No, no, no, it's reluctant to...

Boy, when l get out of here

l'm just really going to write.

The way it, though...

No.

Oh, you're the girl

in all the songs.

Hey, pull the Caddy around,

and let's blow out of here.

Stop it, Mr. Dark.

Oh... oh, l see.

Enough of these intimacies, huh?

Hell, we hardly know each other.

Christ, the only contact

we had so far is

you lift up my penis

and just grease around it.

Oh, what, what's the matter?

Whew. Boy, is it hot in here?

Lie down, um...

You're burning up.

Sweet, sweet, sweetness,

l want to see Nicola...

-No, no. No, Mr. Dark.

-l want to see...

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You got to lay down.

l'll find her.

She's probably

straight out in the hall.

No, no, no, no.

Come on, Mr. Dark, just stay.

Come on, come on.

Nicola?!

Come on, let's just

go back into the bed.

Nicola!

l told you, come on.

Can l get some help here?!

l told you.

lt's okay, nurse.

lt's okay.

Gentle.

Yeah, too heavy for you, angel.

Come on, back in the bed.

l'm sorry. l am.

l'm sorry. l'm sorry.

Slide your feet, gumshoe.

Beddy bye-byes.

One small step

for man,

one giant leap...

for a cripple!

Who are you,

and what are you doing here?

Hey, that's

a good question.

Right on the nose,

as l think they say nowadays.

Yeah, whenever that is.

Am l hot?

ls this because l'm hot?

l don't know you.

l don't know who you are,

or what you want.

Disowning us, are you?

Nurse?

Nurse... where'd she go?

She was just here a second ago.

-Where are you going?

-Where you going?

Home.

That's off

the f***ing page, creepo.

You are going nowhere.

What...

We get all the sh*t

and no explanations.

Just one f***-up

after another.

And you're the scumbag

that wrote it!

Wait, wait, wait, no, no!

Many a tear has to fall

Where-where are we going?

Shaddup!

But it's all...

Where is everybody?

Help!

-All in the wonderful game

-Where are we going?!

That we know as love...

Well, you can rock it,

you can roll it

Do the stop

and even stroll it

-At the hop

-Hop, hop, hop, hop

When the record starts...

Rewrite!

Ooh, long way down, fella.

Right, it's a good last page,

bucklehand.

Splash!

Yeah, it's pooper scooper time

now.

Yeah, so spill.

Who are we?

What are we?

When, when you smile

When you smile at me

Well, well, l know

Our love will always be...

When, when you kiss

When you kiss me right

l, l don't want

To ever say good night

When will you be mine?

Oh, baby, l need you

l want you near me

l love you

Yes, l do,

and l hope you hear me!

You know, personally,

l don't want to walk down

no mean corridors.

No, sir.

But there's just no pay-off

in picking bluebells.

Am l right, or am l right?

God, listen to that, would you?

Can you hear the guy?

Anybody'd think his arm

was being twisted.

Hell, we've all been in pain,

one time or another.

What l say is, when you're

dealing with the devil,

praise the Lord...

and pass the ammunition.

l am not wrong.

Neither am l wrong.

Oh, geez, the warbler!

No fair.

Shoot this prick,

will you?!

Shut up!

Don't, please.

Please, don't.

Shut your pie hole.

No, wait. That's murder.

You get a load of that?

Murder, he says.

l call it...

pruning.

Only one of us is going

to walk out of here.

Sweeter than the roses.

What, are you kidding me

with this?

Ah, shucks.

You could say we'd been

partners, him and me.

Like Laurel and Hardy

or Donald and lvana.

But, heck, this was

one sick pup, from way back.

And l reckon l'm man enough

to tie my own shoelaces now.

Hey.

You got my hat?

Have l got your hat?

l think l've cracked this case.

Yeah, l think you have, but...

No buts.

Watch my lips.

What?

ln my dreams you told me

You really, really care

ln my dreams you told me

So hold me, hold me, hold me

And never, ever let me go
