Listen to this.

Two guys walk into a bar. Two big guys, they walk into this bar, all right? The bigger of the two, he's got a big rounded mustache.

Bigger Guy: Barkeep, get me a...

Barkeep: I've only got gin left...

Bigger Guy: You've got, in this whole place, you fuckin' kiddin' me?

Barkeep: Only gin, everything's out...

Bigger Guy: You're tellin' me that in this whole bar you've...

Barkeep: Plain out o' everything

Smaller Guy: You gonna order?

Bigger Guy: Two gins.

Bigger Guy and Smaller Guy sit. Beat

Smaller Guy: What're you doin'?

Bigger Guy: Checkin' my phone app

SG: People don't do that...

BG: They don't, what, they don't...

SG: Don't check...

BG: Check their phone apps? Everybody does that...

SG: No they don't...

BG: Of course they do...

SG: No...

BG: Yes, I think so though...

SG: Why would they do that?

BG: I don't know, because it interests them.

Beat

SG: What is that?

BG: Mafiascum

SG: What...

BG: One moment please.

Bigger Guy taps through his phone into the Author Mafia game. He

Votes Lemony Snicket

for being absolutely moronic and thinking that RVS is some sort of ritualistic betterment for humanity when it is literally just a load of shit created to perpetuate a game forward that can be perpetuated by common sense and motivation.

Girl sits next to BG

BG: Hey

Girl: Hi

BG: Brad, nice to meet you

Girl: Jennifer

Brad: Can I buy you a drink?

Jennifer: I'm fine, thanks

Brad: Heh

Jennifer: Mmm?

Brad:

Pause.

Let's take take the mysticism out of it, Jennifer, don't you think? When you have some "thing" which must be broached, don't you think?

Jennifer: ...Don't I think?

Brad: Mmmm?

Jennifer: Did I...?

Brad: Yes?

Jennifer: Did I say something wr-

Brad:

Pause.

No, I'm sorry, you're right, I'm a little bit short-fused, as you can see. I'm here with my friend Marc

Marc: Hey

Jennifer: Hi

Brad: Brad and I were lookin' for some nice girls to take to the movies

Jennifer: What movie is that?

Marc: "Oleanna"

Jennifer: Oh, I don't...I...

Brad: What?

Jennifer: I have no interest...

Brad: You...

Jennifer: No...

Brad: We're...?

Jennifer: No, I, my...

Brad: Yes?

Jennifer: My sister.

Brad: All right?

Jennifer: My sister died. The woman in the movie. Carol? My sister was named Carol.

Brad: Well all right, let's go to a different movie.

Jennifer: No, I think I should leave.

Brad: But what about the movies?

Jennifer: I would like to be alone.

Brad: Don't be a tease.

Jennifer:

Pause

That movie is about a woman being beaten. Carol. My sister died, her name was Carol...

Brad: I didn't kill her, bitch.

Jennifer leaves

Marc: What time is it?

Brad checks phone

Brad: Quarter past ten

Marc: Perfect.

Brad continues searching through phone to the MS thread. He opens a Notepad app and notes that Austen is town and that Bret will be a close ally in this swarm of female writers with their panties in bunches. Fuckin' weird that Bugle has an issue with a wagon on me considering it is page fucking two and it's the only wagon gaining any leverage. Looks like he is just trying to point out this to gain towncred. No town motivation for discrediting my wagon so quickly whether or not he disagrees with it, considering I haven't yet given enough of a reaction to know anything about my alignment. Demonstrates pre-knowledge of my alignment. SCUM DETECTED.
