They Look Like People Page #2

Yeah.

So what do we do now?

You come in.

I'm still in mid-town.

Give 'em a call.

They'll set you up

for next week.

You'll be all right.

Honestly,

I'm feeling better already.

You are a fire.

All that your enemies

place in your way...

Betrayal,

lies, poison...

You devour

and become stronger.

You are unstoppable.

You are holy.

You are terrible.

It's a whisper room.

-Come in.

-No.

Yes, come on.

It's soundproof.

Welcome. Switch places.

It's cool, right?

Yeah.

Thanks for helping us

last night.

-How's Sandy?

-Concussed, but fine.

Um, remember that lame

bottle of peach schnapps

that you got me when I first

started working here?

Joyce told me that you get

one for every new girl.

Yeah, totally.

Well, I threw mine away.

If I can prove to you

I'm a psychic,

do you want to try again

tomorrow night?

Give me your hand.

Now pick a number

between one and ten.

-Seven.

-What? Damn it.

You will have

three loves in your life.

Those are life lines, goofus.

Here.

My grandma used

to do voodoo.

Hey, do you think

we have anything for Wyatt?

Like, client services,

or anything?

I can ask Gerald.

I talked to them

about you, by the way.

Maybe some good news

for you on Friday.

Thank you.

What's it say?

This line says that you're a loser.

This line...

-I could do a move.

-Yeah?

-I could do a move.

-No, I meant like, later.

Like, not right now,

that's weird.

So, okay, here it is,

you wanna follow me now?

-I don't think so.

-Just kidding. No, go ahead.

-Really?

-Yeah, it's good. Yes, I think so.

My god!

Okay, that was good.

Are you okay?

I got your scarf.

-Okay. Thanks.

-I'm sorry.

When somebody's

coming at you,...

you've gotta

like, get them.

-Like, see how you did that?

-Yeah.

That's the motion

that you want, in judo,

is you want

somebody to go, "

-okay. Yeah.

-So you go like this.

-Then you're gonna go around,

-yeah.

And then you wanna

choke them from here.

Yeah, yeah.

-And then...

-it's good. I'm sorry,

that was

an inappropriate touch.

That's inappropriate

touching when you're choking.

That was a fast tap,

I'm sorry.

Okay, don't tap my ass.

It just seemed like...

-In the center here.

-Okay.

And then you're gonna,

like, do a hug motion.

-It's a hug?

-Yeah.

Okay.

-So, like that,

-yeah, yeah.

-And this one comes over the back.

-Yeah.

And you're gonna hold

this nook in there.

This? Yeah. Yeah.

And it's like you hug.

Okay. I prefer

regular hugging.

Hug, hug.

-Okay.

-Come on, stop being a p*ssy.

There you go.

Whatever.

I don't think that can work again.

Trust no one.

Trust was no longer

an option

once we discovered them.

They were at Jericho.

They surrounded

the temple of Solomon.

They were at golgotha.

They were once few.

Now they are everywhere.

Their disguises

have begun to fail.

This is how we know

they must strike soon.

Even before you were

one of the blessed

who could sense them,

you knew

they were out there.

Suddenly,

they were right next to you.

That is not a soldier

with a gun.

That is evil.

That is not

your co-worker.

That is a demon.

That is not a human,

not a neighbor,

not a friend, not a lover,

a brother, a mother,

a father, a wife.

That is a monster.

That is your enemy.

And that is what you must

be ready to destroy.

You all right?

What happened?

I just went

and saw a family friend,

but he wasn't around

anymore.

I have an awesome

evening planned for us.

Talked to my boss about you.

But everything sounds okay.

And everything's

going okay with Mara,

and if I don't

do something physical,

I'm gonna explode.

I can get you

a new one.

That's fine,

I have like five.

Are you ready

to get demolished?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Come on, I'm gonna beat you

for the first time.

You know, I just used

to get pushed around at work,

and then I just

started to dominate,

and now

it's all happening.

-Dominate?

-Yeah.

You have no idea what it's like

not to feel like a wuss anymore.

Alley oop!

Nice.

You believe

in supernatural stuff?

You trying to distract me?

Yeah, puffy jacket my ass.

Has anything really scary

ever happened to you?

No.

Like, you ever been

in a fight?

You ever been mugged?

Nope.

Not very manly.

If something really scary was

happening, would you be on my side?

Look, man, I'm trying to make up

for ten years of losing to you.

-I can bench 250 now. I'm different.

-Really?

Look, if you're trying to ask me,

if someone pulled a gun on me,

would I stand up

and be a hero? Yeah.

I think the new me would.

I've changed.

-I'm different.

-Okay.

Okay.

Hey, I saw you

on the phone last night

at like 4:
00 A.M.

outside.

Just bullshit.

So you wanna go out?

Could I wear

different jeans?

Remember when

we played blobbie wars?

God, we were lame.

So, we going out?

Yeah.

Blobbie.

It didn't really work.

-I mean, I had fun.

-I know, why didn't it work?

-I just...

-blobbies was my favorite.

How much am I winning by?

Except for

I think you're losing.

That doesn't count, cause look,

look at how my gauntlet is. See?

-This is your stupid gauntlet!

-If you catch it in the gauntlet,

-It doesn't count.

-I don't care about your gauntlet.

Look at this, anything you catch

in the gauntlet doesn't count.

That's what I thought.

That's what I thought.

Don't use that voice.

You know

I don't like that voice.

Fine. All right,

I'll take off the gauntlet.

God, I just...

I am chivalrous.

I am.

Don't laugh at me.

-Uzi's.

-None of that.

I can say only

half of these count.

Do you think girls

are just better at stuff?

No, man.

Guys are better.

It's like...

I'm gonna crash here.

Wyatt.

This is it.

This is the best way to...

You'll like it.

-I think you will.

-Do you wanna have kids?

I wanna have, like,

a million kids.

Hello, again, Wyatt.

I assume by now

that you know who I am.

We believe the monsters

are uniquely vulnerable

to acid.

Our spies think the war

will begin very soon now.

If you ever hear three claps

of thunder in a clear sky,

the war has begun.

Now is the time

to prepare mentally.

To kill a monster is easy.

To kill a monster

who looks like a friend,

or a harmless innocent...

Wyatt,

is there something else

in the basement with...

Hey.

It's me, Christian.

Stop.

Got you.

Yeah.

I can't tell

if I'm hung-over or drunk.

I thought someone

was in the house.

Okay.

Nightmare...

It must have been serious.

-Hit me one.

-No.

God.

-Come on.

-That'II... that'll wake you up.

Whatever. You suck.

My junior year roommate Asa

used to get these night terrors,

and I remember

his girlfriend Becky

would always

be wrestling with him

in the bunk beneath mine.

And one night,

she literally had to punch him

in the face to wake him up.

When he did,

he was like, "sorry.

I was battling the York."

What were you battling?

I don't remember.

I have to get ready

for work.

-Blobbies.

-I won.

There may be

a promotion today,

if I can conquer
