[MAN.]
Is it done? He was eating Sardinian casu marzu.
I didn't realize it was still possible to get casu marzu in this country.
The stomach acid of a thousand maggots rotting the cheese from the inside out, making it richer, smoother.
But for the whole thing to work, you must eat all of it.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
The maggots are what make the experience wonderful.
- Mm.
- I didn't call you for a Gordon Ramsay impression, Wilkes.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[DARK MUSIC.]
I ask again.
Is it done? It's done.
I wonder what kind of a man gets casu marzu on demand.
[MAN.]
You know who he is, don't you? [WILKES.]
Of course I do.
[MAN.]
The press are breaking a story on him in the morning.
No one does this better than you, and I need him delivered before that happens.
Bring him to the usual place by 2 a.
m.
That's in four hours.
No delays.
I trust you to help me make a statement with this one.
Well, he's dead already.
The rest shouldn't take too long.
[MAN.]
Good.
Oh, and Wilkes? I know you have your own methods and I respect that.
But maybe try and treat this like business, just for once? [EERIE MUSIC.]

[GRUNTS.]
[BEEP OF CAR UNLOCKING.]
[ANGRY MAN.]
God dammit! What is this shit? Son of a bitch! You've got to be kidding me! [GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Holy shit, man! Watch where you're going.
What the fuck? Jesus Christ.
Whoa.
Did you make this? - This is unbelievable.
- [SIREN IN BACKGROUND.]
Oh my God, dude.
This looks so real.
Dot, look at this thing.
Don't call me Dot.
Wait a second.
What are you doing right now? I know, I know that's a weird thing to ask a stranger, but, uh, we're on our way to this party, and it's gonna be outrageously cool and, like, super sick, and I was kind of hoping we can make a big entrance at this thing, but, um, as you can see we look pathetic, so I got off work, like, 30 minutes ago, so Still could have made an effort, Nick.
- Well, I - What are you supposed to be? - What are you dressed as? - This is steampunk.
- This and - Goggles? You're dressed as goggles? I'm sorry, who are you? Oh, shit, sorry, Alan Morgan Adams of the Massachusetts Morgan Adamses.
Hey, hey, buddy, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Where are we goin'? Are you, like, uh, the British American Psycho or something? [ALAN.]
Whoa, Dorothy.
Sorry, you gotta forgive her.
She's from Westlake.
We're still workin' on her manners.
We're kind of a My Fair Lady type of deal.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He's the, uh, self-important drunk perv who thinks that he's a big deal, and I'm just the bad ass everyone wants to hang out with.
So is this, like, your latest victim or something? Yes, for now.
[ALAN.]
Okay, dude, dude, dude, dude.
Uh, you gotta come with us.
What can I say that is gonna get you there? There's gonna be an open bar.
Does that do anything for you? There's gonna be outrageously hot chicks, - like crazy hot chicks.
- [DOROTHY.]
Wow.
- Fucking gag me.
- [ALAN.]
Okay, okay.
Everybody is gonna be there, man.
I can assure you that the party we're going to is a million times cooler than the party you were going to.
My buddy Jack, he, uh, he's the host.
He always does this, like, grand arrival, and everyone flips out about his costume, but this thing, this is gonna blow his cock off.
[WILKES.]
Look, uh, someone slashed my tires, - and I really need - You need a ride.
Done.
That we can do.
We can get you a ride, man.
Consider it done.
Please walk away.
[NICK.]
Yeah, no, there's there's no way you're gonna get a cab - with this thing, dude, so - Hey! He's right, that's a good point, Nick.
Thank you for finally making a contribution.
No one's gonna let you in the back of a cab with this thing, you'll make a mess.
Come with us for one drink.
Just one drink, you walk right back out, you're out on the streets, you're killin' all your victims in no time.
[CLAPS.]
You know what? [DARK MUSIC.]
That actually sounds like a really good idea.
Let's do it.
What? I can't believe that worked.
Wow, I did not see that coming.
It's the best night of my life.
This is exciting.
What an exciting turn of events.
Lift with your legs, Nick.
[NICK.]
There's four of us.
If we all just, um [ALAN.]
Oh my gosh.
Slashed your tires, huh? Bunch of fuckin' savages in this town.
[PERCUSSIVE PARTY MUSIC.]
Put your back into it, Nick.
[NICK.]
It's pretty heavy.
[CHEERING AND SHOUTING.]
[THUNDER.]
[HOWLING.]
Oh yeah, here we go! This way, this way, come on! [ROBOTIC VOICE.]
Here we go again! [ALAN.]
That ought to be good.
Prop him up there.
Do not move, okay? Don't move, I'm gonna go find Jack.
Especially this guy.
[LAUGHTER.]
[ROBOTIC VOICE.]
Everybody raise your hands! [CHEERING AND SHOUTING.]
[SNORTING.]
Where is this guy? Girls and boys, queer gender friends, please turn your eyes to the dance floor and welcome your host, Jack Baker, Monster Maker! [SUSPENSEFUL PARTY MUSIC.]
Oh, shit.
[GASPS FOR AIR.]
[CHEERING.]
[RASPY VOICE.]
Hello Alan.
[UPBEAT PARTY MUSIC.]
[LAUGHING.]
Unreal.
[INDISCERNIBLE CONVERSATION.]
Dalmore neat, double.
Here.
[GIGGLES.]
Here, want it? [WOMAN AT BAR.]
Yeah.
Ah - Yeah.
- Excuse me.
Yeah.
Ahh! [LAUGHS.]
[INDISCERNIBLE CONVERSATION.]
Look around All I see are faces Look around, look around [INDISCERNIBLE LYRICS.]

[HORN HONKING.]
[INDISCERNIBLE SPEAKER ON MEGAPHONE.]
[MELLOW MUSIC.]
[WOMAN.]
Your costume is brilliant.
It's not a costume.
Uh, yeah, more of a prop, I guess, right? The whole package really works.
The suit, the blood.
Maggie.
Let them eat cake.
She never said that.
You know, Marie Antoinette, she never actually said, "Let them eat cake.
" It was just a thing that French like to attribute to every foreign queen they didn't like the look of.
I mean, when things go wrong, why blame the king when you can blame his bitch of a wife? [LAUGHS.]
She's a very meaningful woman, I think.
Um, famous, but as a caricature that confirms men's prejudices against women Frivolous, ditzy, obsessed with buying shoes, silly, pretty, tragic little bon-bon good for porn, good for scorn, nothing in between.
Well, you have really thought about your costume.
Says the guy dragging a corpse around? Did you not come here with friends, Maggie? Just me.
I hesitated to come, but tonight felt like the kind of night something might happen.
[WILKES.]
Well, you certainly make that costume work.
[MAGGIE.]
A girl is expected to dress a little provocatively when she's invited to one of these parties.
Why would a girl want to be invited to one of these parties? [MAGGIE.]
Oh, I don't know, one of these parties, one of these clubs, one of these jobs.
It might be 230 years since the French Revolution, but boys still need the illusion of silly, tragic little bon-bons.
Maybe that's not your problem.
Maybe that's obviously occurred to me before, and I don't need it mansplained to me by a stranger.
So how long did it take you to stuff it? You don't stuff it, it's more of, um roll, like a pig in blanket.
[MAGGIE.]
Oh, those are harder to roll cleanly than they look.
It gets easier every time you do it.
I do it this way every Halloween.
You have to be a lot more careful disposing of a dead body on a normal evening.
[LAUGHS.]
Right.
Would you like me to, uh let you in on something? People think that killing is the hard part.
[DARK MUSIC.]
They also assume that the necessary next step is hiding the evidence, but it's not.
You can't do it, not reliably.
You have to come up with an alternative story for how this person died.
Needs its own narrative, its own evidence, its own culprit.
Takes more effort, but if you can do it correctly, it works.
You can do anything, as long as you don't give people the time to decide it's something different from what you're telling them it is.
And that is what makes this special.
That makes sense.
I'm not sure it all comes across in the costume, but that makes sense.
[MAN AT BAR.]
Okay, dude, a toast to every Friday the 13th movie.
Let's do this.
Friday the 13th.
[MELLOW MUSIC.]
- Friday the 13th Part 2.
- Part 2.
"Midway upon life's journey, I found myself within a forest dark.
" "For the straightforward path had been lost.
" [MAGGIE.]
Hm.
Hell's empty and all the devils are here.
[MAN AT BAR.]
Jason Takes Manhattan.
Ah [MAN AT BAR #2.]
Aw! Ew.
[INDISCERNIBLE CHATTER.]
Are you leaving? [WILKES.]
I've been promised a ride to work.
You came with that guy Alan, right? He's friends with Jack.
I work for Jack.
Um, he's designing this horror virtual reality thing, and I'm the coder who has to do all the damn work.
[MAGGIE.]
I it's really really makes you feel good about those student loan debts.
Worth it.
Um, I can, uh, get you a car and drive you.
Is anybody expecting you home tonight, Maggie? Not a soul.
Well, all right then.
[SOFT MUSIC.]
I'll be right back.
[ROBOTIC VOICE.]
Make that booty drop.
Hittin' 'em with the bass takes patience I'm only trying to make some [PERCUSSIVE PARTY MUSIC.]
Hey, what's up, girl? [WOLF WHISTLE.]
Hey, sexual harassment is a crime, shithead.
- Whatever.
- Criminal! Hi.
Uh, we're almost ready.
I just I the body thing is huge.
I was just figured we could use some help getting it downstairs.
There is no "we.
" What? I agreed to one drink.
I've had three.
Car, now.
- [JACK.]
Dude, chill.
- [ALAN.]
What, no.
I already told Maggie you can borrow my car.
Now come on! Enjoy yourself for a bit, huh? Take me to your car now or I will kill you at your own party.
[INDISCERNIBLE LYRICS.]
You really got this killer thing down.
You nailed it.
I like it.
[LAUGHING.]
All right, all right.
I'll take you downstairs.
But first, shots! [INDISCERNIBLE LYRICS.]
Finally we get to the good shit.
[NICK.]
Dude, he never lets anyone in there.
This night's gonna be epic.
Okay? More scores, four scores, basic Livin' in the Porsche could be cool if I could make it Hey, don't break anything.
Come on, one shot won't kill you.

Yo, dude, this is your party.

You can't leave He can't leave the party.
I can do whatever I want.
Guys, this this is what tonight is all about.
All Hallow's Eve, the night we put our masks on and let our dark, unpredictable sides fly.
[LAUGHING.]
This guy, man, look at him.
The costume, woo! The performance.
I'm telling you, bro, next level commitment.
[LAUGHING.]
Think about it, guys.
How do we usually end the night? Me, sittin' at home watching Plan 9 from Outer Space, mixing cocktails, sending unsolicited dick pics to Dorothy.
[LAUGHING.]
Or, guys, we keep the party goin', right? Keep the party goin', lookin' for somebody, like this guy right here.
I don't know what's goin' down tonight, but I am feeling so, what's the word? Alive.
I'm feelin' so alive right now, guys.
[SNIFFS.]
[SOFT GURGLING.]
[BEAT DROPS.]
Yeah, he, um he occasionally, uh [CLEARS THROAT.]
does that.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[SOFT GURGLING.]
Whoa.
This animatronic too? Woo, that is amazing! Give it a kick, it'll stop.
[SNIFFS.]
You can do better than that.
[JACK.]
Oh, really? All right.
[ENTHUSIASTIC GRUNT.]
[LAUGHING.]
- Whoa! - Whoa! Shit! [DARK MUSIC.]
[SOFT GRUMBLING.]
[LAUGHING.]
Did I fix it? I don't know.
Did you? [MUTED PARTY MUSIC.]
Jesus! - Shit! - That's an actual body! That's an actual body.
Okay, okay, okay.
That's a dead person for real.
[TREMBLING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Put your fucking hands down.
Sorry.
Ugh, accepting a ride from strangers is always such a bad idea.
[JACK.]
So, uh did you kill this guy? [WILKES.]
Well, he wasn't dead a minute ago.
If he is now, then technically you killed him.
[NICK.]
Huh Are you, uh, are you a hitman or something, or [MUTED PARTY MUSIC.]
[JACK.]
Jesus Christ, man.
You can't just kill people! 'Course you can.
[DARK MUSIC.]
[SCREAMING.]
Oh shit! [SCREAMING.]
[COMMOTION.]
[SOBBING.]
[JACK.]
Oh shit, man! I was just on VentureBeat's list of 40 under 40, I can't die like this! Okay, what's your name? Um It's Jack, right? And what do you do, Jack? Uh, I'm an artist.
[PANTING.]
I have a trust fund, okay? Please! And would you define yourself as "sane"? I I [WILKES.]
Anything you do other than eat, sleep, shit, fuck, and kill is a symptom of insanity.
You see, there was a point during human evolution where something, some neuron pathway misfired, and we all became self-aware.
That is to say, we became insane.
We are balls of flesh and bone on a rock of ice spinning through a dark, random universe designed only to survive, but then something happened in our DNA where we went, "Hey, wait, wait, wait.
What if I matter? What if it's all about me?" Did you ever watch those, um the David Attenborough shows? Mm.
They're magnificent, right? Full of death.
And yet in a way, it makes sense.
And then you try and watch the news and it's crazy.
There's no sense at all.
And I will answer that other question for you.
Does a crazy person know they're crazy? Yes, it's called a conscience.
Jiminy Cricket, that's just the part of our brains screaming at the psychic tear caused by the gulf between what we are and what we pretend to be.
You think the world needs your doodles, artist? There's no art in the natural world.
There is murder.
[TERRIFIED GRUNT.]
[WILKES.]
Do you really think it made a difference to the world if he lived or died? That was the most amazing thing I've ever heard.
Do you know how often I've wanted to do that to somebody? [MUTED PARTY MUSIC.]
That's a Car keys, now.
Jack, he's gonna fucking kill us.
- Uh - He's right.
He is right.
However, if you agree to help me, I promise I'll make it quick.

[PANTING.]
[DOROTHY.]
Hurry up, come on! Guys, what the hell are we doing, huh? But why did we take this thing? [DOROTHY.]
Dude, this thing is a person.
[ALAN.]
Dude, there's probably a reward out on this guy.
- What? - What? There's always a reward when you turn in a murderer.
They're gonna give us a pile of money.
Everyone's gonna love us.
We're gonna be heroes! [FRUSTRATED DOROTHY.]
Oh my what are you, Dog the Bounty Hunter? [ALAN.]
Is that not why you picked it up? Uh, it is not an it, it is a person that might still be alive.
Yeah, but that guy's gonna want it Him back.
Ah! Wait.
Why is this suddenly our problem? Okay.
[DOROTHY CLEARS THROAT.]
We're gonna give him to the cops and then he stops being our problem.
Okay? Jack, keys? What? You were giving that guy a ride.
[JACK.]
Yeah, but he went all psycho before I could grab the keys.
Then why the fuck are we down here? I thought you guys drove! Oh my God! Nick drove us, you jackass.
He parked three blocks away.
Okay, so where are his keys? [DARK MUSIC.]
Aw, shit.
[DINGS.]
[CREAKING.]

Dude, put that thing down, man! No, we're not putting him down! Are you kidding me? You guys know who this is and we get to be the ones that rescued him.
[DOROTHY.]
Wait a second.
Hey, you know what? We're not rescuing him because he's dead! Okay, whatever.
We need to get off the street, okay? And why couldn't he just kill, like, Elijah Wood or someone small? We could just take that.
[DOROTHY.]
Yeah, you want to rip off a homeless guy? Do you want to shoot a puppy while we're at it too, hmm? [ALAN.]
Oh, I'm sorry, would you rather that the fucking psychopath catches up with us, Dot? - Okay, okay.

So sorry, we're gonna take really good care of it.
Thanks so much.
Nice to meet you.
[JACK.]
Hey, I know homelessness is a complex issue that can't be solved by charity alone, so I, uh, I hope this helps the situation just a little.
Sorry, man.
Thank you.
God bless you.
[DOROTHY.]
Jack, come on! [TENSE MUSIC.]
[HORN HONKS.]
[PHONE ALERT.]
You're very calm for someone who's just lost the bodily evidence that he's a murderer.
Yes, remind me how that happened again.
This might come in handy.
Just doing what you said.
New evidence, new culprits, new narrative, right? [CART RATTLING.]
Could you could you just take that jumpsuit off? - Wait, what, out here? - Yes, yes.
We need somebody to help us, you guys.
We're trying to be discreet, okay, and he can see you from a mile off with that, so I could be naked under this.
Is that discreet? [PHONE ALERT.]
Hey, dude, why are you texting me right now? I'm not, I don't have my phone.
Then what's Oh no.
[DOROTHY.]
Alan? Uh [JACK.]
Wait, is that the cop? [ALAN.]
Oh shit.
Dude, he has your fucking phone.
That's bad, right? Wait, I don't get it, why is I I don't know, but I feel like that can't be good.
There's, like, emojis.
[DOROTHY.]
Are you kidding me? He is framing us, hello! Fuck! - Fuck, fuck! - Shit! [ALAN.]
That's exactly what he's doing.
Fuck me! Oh God, oh my God.
Fucking be kidding me.
Fuck my life, shit! - Oh shit.
- Fuck.
[GASPS.]
Fuck that shit, man! Okay, this can't be happening right now.
He doesn't know where we are.
- [ALAN.]
That's true.
- [JACK.]
Right? That's a good point.
[JACK.]
We can ditch the dead guy and just go our separate ways.
We can leave it anywhere.
No, that is not a good idea.
He killed Nick, and you stomped on this fucking guy's head.
I am not the one who fuckin' brought that lunatic into my house.
Okay, that costume was amazing.
- It wasn't a costume! - It wasn't a costume! Oh my God, oh my God, it was Halloween! How was I supposed to know? Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.
Okay, that dead cop took my name, man.
He radioed in about us.
[JACK.]
You know why? Because you're always throwing your name around.
Oh, look, you dropped something.
- Your fuckin' name.
- [ALAN.]
Oh, yeah, that's my fault.
That's on me, okay.
[JACK.]
Oh yeah, it is.
You know what? Good luck with it.
I'm fuckin' done.
- I'm out.
- You're done? Oh, you're gonna go? You're gonna walk away from here? Oh, this is really something coming from you.
Hey, by the way, quick question.
How you doin' with the very first problem in your entire life that you couldn't just throw money at, huh? How's that goin' for you? You didn't mind my money when you were hooverin' up my fuckin' drugs, right? Oh yeah, and you were pitchin' me your stupid fuckin' apps.
My stupid fucking apps? [DOROTHY.]
Shut the fuck up, both of you, oh my God! Nick, Nick is dead in your studio.
The cop, dead in your garage.
There's photos on both of your phones.
All right, maybe if maybe if we just give the the body back, and I'll say sorry.
Oh, wake up! We know nothing about this guy.
He has our names, your address.
I mean, Alan gave him his fucking résumé.
Okay, we don't need to keep putting each other down, you guys.
Okay, that psycho, he wore gloves.
Our prints are all over it.
He's gonna kill us whether or not we have this thing.
- It's a person.
- Oh! Fuck all that noise, okay? And the cops, when the cops come looking for us, they're gonna shoot me, and then he's gonna lock you both up.
Do you want to risk that, is that what you want to do? Okay! What the fuck do we do? We make it go away.
No body, no evidence.
We gotta bleach him.
Pulverize the teeth.
Burn off the fingerprints.
We disfigure the face.
We melt him down.
We drain the blood and the bodily fluids.
We mix those with bleach.
We also bleach the inside.
We chop him into pieces small enough that they can't be recognized as human in case somebody finds one of 'em.
Vinegar to soften the bones.
We put each part in a different plastic bag, fill 'em with lye, tie the tops, and we bury them as far away from each other as possible.
Uh, that is why you're single.
[ALAN.]
Oh, okay.
I'm the only one of us that watched Breaking Bad? Are you kidding me? That show redefined television.
[JACK.]
Okay, uh where exactly are we meant to do all this? Hm? I don't know, but you know what? Not here, so let's let's just go.
Let's go, yeah.
[ALAN.]
Oh, okay, no, I'll get it.
Thanks, guys, thanks for all of your help.
Appreciate it.
You dumb dicks.
Son of a bitch.
[CART RATTLING.]
[TRAFFIC SOUNDS.]
Why do you have a gun? Why wouldn't I? What if I go to the movies or my local Planned Parenthood and some asshole comes in with a gun to shoot everyone? Nobody would've gotten hurt tonight if everybody had a gun.
I work long hours, I go running early.
It makes me feel safer.
Have you ever had to use it? I just killed two people right in front of you.
I know, who's gonna be next? You're not grasping the reality of what I'm saying.
I kill people.
You haven't killed me.
[SIREN WAILING.]
Come on.
Let's get you cleaned up.
No one knows who I am No one knows who I am Nobody recognizes me No one knows who I'm supposed to be For Halloween [INDISCERNIBLE LYRICS.]
Uh, Dalmore neat, and a slightly burnt, perfect, Sipsmith and Cokey martini, straight up with a twist, 12-year Coal Ila for the scotch.
What? A drink order shouldn't have 25 words in it.
[REINDEER MAN.]
Look at these two.
Hold that for a sec.
Uh, I'm gonna go take care of this.
That booth when you get back.
This year for Halloween I'll just be me Thank you.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[WATER RUNNING.]
[UNZIPS PANTS.]
[ZIPS UP PANTS.]
Maggie, what are you doing? Is this crazy? No.
You don't meet guys like this every day.
He's he's smart, he's strong, he's employed.
He can handle you.
Timing's a bit off, but that's okay.
[EXHALES.]
Grow through conflict.
[DOROTHY.]
Yeah, yeah, this is it.
[ALAN.]
All right, what now? [DOROTHY.]
Uh, well, padlock is shit, and we need what's in there, so.
Never paid for a bike in my life.
[SIGHS.]
Okay, let's do this.
[ROCK MUSIC.]
So this doesn't feel like much of a plan.
[WILKES.]
You said you could track him with a computer.
Can you get into this? I'm a data engineer, not a hacker.
Yes.
Just take me a minute to get around this guy's password.
[TYPING.]
Hmm.
I'm gonna find those assholes for you.
[DOOR OPENING, BELL DINGS.]
Yeah.
What? Yeah.
[BUCKET RATTLES.]
Is this everything? I guess we're about to find out.
Seriously? Don't deny me this, Dorothy.
Tonight isn't really what I was expecting, okay? So, yeah, I want a machete.
All right.
It says we start with the face.
I still can't believe it's him.
I know.
Doesn't he have like 20 million Twitter followers? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Well [EXHALES.]
Not anymore.
[SLAM.]
[MAGGIE.]
Okay.
Ah, I'm in.
You can track pretty much anybody's smartphone as long as a single one of their apps has live location in the background.
Code's running.
So I gotta say, seeing you do what you do, hearing you talk, boom.
Suddenly so much makes sense.
How? I'll answer one of yours for each one you answer of mine.
Come on.
All the secrets, the deceptions.
You must be dying to just talk straight to someone.
Why are you here? Because I wanna be.
- Why? - Mm-mm.
My turn.
Who paid you? I don't know.
I never meet him.
Do you know what the dark web is? [MAGGIE.]
Yes.
The part of the internet that's encrypted and untraceable where you would go if you want someone killed.
It's one of the many places you can go to do that, yes.
The visible world is so bright and reassuring, but it needs the dark.
The man who pays me owns the dark.
You don't know him, he doesn't know you.
You get paid in electronic currency.
Completely anonymous.
How much did you get for the guy in the bag? More than anyone, ever.
And I thought you were hot before I knew you were rich.
[CHUCKLES.]
Your turn.
Do you know why I like Halloween, Maggie? The candy? People.
They wear masks their whole lives, pretending that life has meaning.
When you kill somebody, all of that's gone.
Halloween is the closest people come to admitting that we are defined by death.
How do you come to do what you do? Choose a job you love, you never have to work a day in your life.
I want that choice.
Life carries most people along.
So much happens, so little is made to happen.
But life is consequence.
You throw a glass, it breaks.
You cut someone, they bleed.
You kill someone, they're gone.
[WILKES GRUNTS.]
I was always taught that consequences are to be feared.
Every decision I make, every second of my life is based on what someone else wants or needs, it's like a fucking straitjacket.
And then there's you, saying consequences are proof of power.
You can do anything you want.
All of it's good, do it.
Because none of it means anything.
[MAGGIE.]
Was it hard to kill someone the first time? Maggie None of it's hard.
[PHONE VIBRATING.]
[PHONE BEEPS.]
[MAN.]
Dead cops aren't good for business.
[UPBEAT MUSIC.]

[SIGHS.]
There was a complication.
Small.
[MAN.]
So? So nothing.
I've got it under control.
[MAN.]
This isn't like you, Wilkes.
One complicated night in a decade isn't a bad track record.
[MAN.]
I hope you know where my body is.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
You're watching me.
[MAN.]
Maybe.
On and off.
That wasn't part of the deal.
[MAN.]
Neither is lying to me.
Even great white sharks have their predators, Wilkes.
Two hours.
Sort your mess out.
Don't let me down.
Fuck me! [ALAN.]
Don't touch your face, Jack.
It's basically acid.
Okay.
What's next? [ALAN.]
Uh, burn off his fingerprints.
[DOROTHY.]
You, it's your turn.
Now, mm-hmm.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Okay.
[BLOWTORCH TURNS ON.]
Ugh, okay.
Oh.
Oh, shit.
The skin is coming off! - Oh, God.
- Fuck, ahh! Okay, ahh! Oh, fuck.
He's leaking.
He's leaking, he's leaking.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Why isn't Alan doing any of this gross shit, huh? He's the one that got us into this mess.
[ALAN.]
Hey! One of us has to keep our eye on the bigger picture, okay? I will look up the instructions, and you two carry them out.
Thank you.
Chop, chop.
[LIGHT MUSIC.]
We need to find that body, now.
You said "we.
" [CLEARS THROAT.]
Okay, this is them.
They're at a hardware store 10 blocks from here.
Alan is doing a Google search.
Trying to destroy a body, by the looks of it.
Now I can tap into any camera in the area with a built-in sensor or actuator.
There they are.
Is this live? It was 10 minutes ago.
If I connect Alan and Jack using Find My Friends, we can track them with Jack's phone.
Body cam footage is instantly uploaded to a cloud server.
Can you access that server? It'll be traceable to this computer.
I'm okay with that.
Me too.
Find the video we're in and delete it.
We should send it to them.
We've already sent the photos.
Let's have a little fun.

We need your help.
Someone has been murdered.
[ALAN.]
Okay, okay, it's gettin' away from us here.
This isn't what it looks like, Officer.
Just listen to me, my name is Alan Morgan Adams.
What is this guy's problem? Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, oh my God.
- [JACK.]
Okay, uh - [DOROTHY.]
Hey, hey.
- [JACK.]
What do we do? - [DOROTHY.]
Focus, focus, focus.
[JACK.]
No, what do we do, what do we do? [DOROTHY.]
There is no footage of us killing the cop because we didn't actually do it.
He's just trying to freak us out.
He's trying to make us crack, that is all he's doing.
- [ALAN.]
Oh, my God.
- [JACK.]
Yeah, well, it's working.
I'm cracked.
Alan, I need you to log on to Jack's Apple account, Find My iPhone, and then delete all the messages.
That's it.
Wait, how do I do any of that? [JACK.]
Are you kidding me? You do it then, Jack! - I don't know how! - Exactly! [JACK.]
I pay nerds to do that for me.
All right? Maggie.
Maggie, Maggie's h Maggie's helping him.
Oh, wait, the blonde that was with him tonight? Yeah, the one that was dressed as, um uh, Elsa from Frozen.
- Yeah.
- Wow! Marie Antoinette, you dipshit! Do you know anything about anything that's not been made into an action figure? I'm so sorry, professor.
I'm not an expert in Civil War history, okay? [ALAN.]
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, you guys, it says here the lye is gonna take like hours to work.
Oh, shit.
We have to heat it to almost a thousand degrees? [DOROTHY.]
You didn't think to tell us that before we started? You could've looked it up your-fucking-self, Dot! Call me Dot one more fucking time.
[ALAN.]
What you gonna do? - [DOROTHY GROANS.]
- [ALAN.]
Do something.
I surrender and I let go, I surrender and I let go.
[ALAN.]
Do that.
Oh! It says here we could also burn the entire body, that would work.
What website are you on? Wikipedia.
- [DOROTHY LAUGHS.]
- What? [DOROTHY.]
Okay, you know what, it's not as if we can start a fire in here anyway, so.
[ALAN.]
Oh, yeah, actually, never mind because it has to be hot enough to turn him into ash, not just a bubbly stew person.
That's great.
[ALAN.]
So Hospitals, clinics, mortuaries, they they have incinerators.
My mom, she used to work at a hospital, and they'd also discard like the old placentas and the foreskins and stuff, they burn them at the end of the night.
[ALAN.]
Right, right, right, right, right, okay.
I can work with that.
Is the real world too gory for you, Monster Maker? Yes.
Yes, it is, actually.
- That's the whole point.
- Hold on.
Would a funeral home work? There's one on Hooper Street.
[DOROTHY.]
Yes, yeah, that's perfect.
Uh, I don't know about that, Dot.
[GULPS.]
rothy.
Uh, think about it.
We already broke into this building.
Now you want us to break into other buildings? There's there's more bodies.
Yes! The faster that we feed this fucker to the incinerator, the faster that this is done.
We take your trust fund money, we buy plane tickets to Jamaica, and we spend the rest of our miserable year drinking mojitos and having threesomes on the beach.
Okay, yeah.
Lead us to a funeral home.
[DOROTHY.]
Okay, great.
Clear your browser history, put him back in the cart.
You, clean this shit up.
You know neither one of us is gonna be in that threesome, right? Yeah, I know.
- [DOROTHY.]
Now! - [ALAN.]
Yeah, okay.
Ah, shit, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
[DOROTHY.]
Come on, let's cut through here.
Can you hurry up? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
I don't understand you, but I feel like you might be the first person I've met in a very long time that understands me.
After you kill them, after tonight, you can teach me some things.
I can teach you some things.
We can be together, just the two of us, doing anything we want.

We don't have a minute, Alan.
The son of a bitch is in the building.
- What? - Yeah.
Are you serious? It has to get to like 1400 degrees or it's not gonna work.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, we're gonna die tonight.
We're gonna die tonight.

What are you doing right now?

So is this, like, your latest victim or something? Yes, for now.
[ALAN.]
Okay, dude, dude, dude, dude.
Uh, you gotta come with us.
What can I say that is gonna get you there? There's gonna be an open bar.
Does that do anything for you? There's gonna be outrageously hot chicks, - like crazy hot chicks.

I can assure you that the party we're going to is a million times cooler than the party you were going to.

Thank you for finally making a contribution.
No one's gonna let you in the back of a cab with this thing, you'll make a mess.

Um, famous, but as a caricature that confirms men's prejudices against women Frivolous, ditzy, obsessed with buying shoes, silly, pretty, tragic little bon-bon good for porn, good for scorn, nothing in between.
Well, you have really thought about your costume.
Says the guy dragging a corpse around? Did you not come here with friends, Maggie? Just me.
I hesitated to come, but tonight felt like the kind of night something might happen.
[WILKES.]
Well, you certainly make that costume work.
[MAGGIE.]
A girl is expected to dress a little provocatively when she's invited to one of these parties.
Why would a girl want to be invited to one of these parties? [MAGGIE.]
Oh, I don't know, one of these parties, one of these clubs, one of these jobs.
It might be 230 years since the French Revolution, but boys still need the illusion of silly, tragic little bon-bons.
Maybe that's not your problem.
Maybe that's obviously occurred to me before, and I don't need it mansplained to me by a stranger.
So how long did it take you to stuff it? You don't stuff it, it's more of, um roll, like a pig in blanket.
[MAGGIE.]
Oh, those are harder to roll cleanly than they look.
It gets easier every time you do it.
I do it this way every Halloween.
You have to be a lot more careful disposing of a dead body on a normal evening.
[LAUGHS.]
Right.
Would you like me to, uh let you in on something? People think that killing is the hard part.
[DARK MUSIC.]
They also assume that the necessary next step is hiding the evidence, but it's not.
You can't do it, not reliably.
You have to come up with an alternative story for how this person died.
Needs its own narrative, its own evidence, its own culprit.
Takes more effort, but if you can do it correctly, it works.
You can do anything, as long as you don't give people the time to decide it's something different from what you're telling them it is.
And that is what makes this special.
That makes sense.
I'm not sure it all comes across in the costume, but that makes sense.
[MAN AT BAR.]
Okay, dude, a toast to every Friday the 13th movie.
Let's do this.

I work for Jack.
Um, he's designing this horror virtual reality thing, and I'm the coder who has to do all the damn work.
[MAGGIE.]
I it's really really makes you feel good about those student loan debts.

Um, I can, uh, get you a car and drive you.

Well, all right then.

This guy, man, look at him.
The costume, woo! The performance.
I'm telling you, bro, next level commitment.
[LAUGHING.]
Think about it, guys.
How do we usually end the night? Me, sittin' at home watching Plan 9 from Outer Space, mixing cocktails, sending unsolicited dick pics to Dorothy.
[LAUGHING.]
Or, guys, we keep the party goin', right? Keep the party goin', lookin' for somebody, like this guy right here.

So, uh did you kill this guy? [WILKES.]
Well, he wasn't dead a minute ago.
If he is now, then technically you killed him.
[NICK.]
Huh Are you, uh, are you a hitman or something, or [MUTED PARTY MUSIC.]

Oh shit, man! I was just on VentureBeat's list of 40 under 40, I can't die like this! Okay, what's your name? Um It's Jack, right? And what do you do, Jack? Uh, I'm an artist.
[PANTING.]
I have a trust fund, okay? Please! And would you define yourself as "sane"? I I [WILKES.]
Anything you do other than eat, sleep, shit, fuck, and kill is a symptom of insanity.
You see, there was a point during human evolution where something, some neuron pathway misfired, and we all became self-aware.
That is to say, we became insane.
We are balls of flesh and bone on a rock of ice spinning through a dark, random universe designed only to survive, but then something happened in our DNA where we went, "Hey, wait, wait, wait.
What if I matter? What if it's all about me?" Did you ever watch those, um the David Attenborough shows? Mm.
They're magnificent, right? Full of death.
And yet in a way, it makes sense.
And then you try and watch the news and it's crazy.
There's no sense at all.
And I will answer that other question for you.
Does a crazy person know they're crazy? Yes, it's called a conscience.
Jiminy Cricket, that's just the part of our brains screaming at the psychic tear caused by the gulf between what we are and what we pretend to be.
You think the world needs your doodles, artist? There's no art in the natural world.
There is murder.
[TERRIFIED GRUNT.]
[WILKES.]
Do you really think it made a difference to the world if he lived or died? That was the most amazing thing I've ever heard.
Do you know how often I've wanted to do that to somebody? [MUTED PARTY MUSIC.]

Jack, he's gonna fucking kill us.

He is right.

They're gonna give us a pile of money.
Everyone's gonna love us.
We're gonna be heroes! [FRUSTRATED DOROTHY.]
Oh my what are you, Dog the Bounty Hunter? [ALAN.]

We're gonna give him to the cops and then he stops being our problem.
Okay? Jack, keys? What? You were giving that guy a ride.

Yeah, but he went all psycho before I could grab the keys.

Dude, put that thing down, man! No, we're not putting him down! Are you kidding me? You guys know who this is and we get to be the ones that rescued him.
[DOROTHY.]
Wait a second.
Hey, you know what? We're not rescuing him because he's dead! Okay, whatever.
We need to get off the street, okay? And why couldn't he just kill, like, Elijah Wood or someone small? We could just take that.
[DOROTHY.]
Yeah, you want to rip off a homeless guy? Do you want to shoot a puppy while we're at it too, hmm? [ALAN.]
Oh, I'm sorry, would you rather that the fucking psychopath catches up with us, Dot? - Okay, okay.

So sorry, we're gonna take really good care of it.
Thanks so much.
Nice to meet you.

Hey, I know homelessness is a complex issue that can't be solved by charity alone, so I, uh, I hope this helps the situation just a little.
Sorry, man.
Thank you.
God bless you.
[DOROTHY.]
Jack, come on! [TENSE MUSIC.]
[HORN HONKS.]
[PHONE ALERT.]
You're very calm for someone who's just lost the bodily evidence that he's a murderer.
Yes, remind me how that happened again.
This might come in handy.
Just doing what you said.
New evidence, new culprits, new narrative, right? [CART RATTLING.]
Could you could you just take that jumpsuit off? - Wait, what, out here? - Yes, yes.
We need somebody to help us, you guys.
We're trying to be discreet, okay, and he can see you from a mile off with that, so I could be naked under this.
Is that discreet? [PHONE ALERT.]
Hey, dude, why are you texting me right now? I'm not, I don't have my phone.

Alan? Uh [JACK.]
Wait, is that the cop? [ALAN.]
Oh shit.
Dude, he has your fucking phone.
That's bad, right? Wait, I don't get it, why is I I don't know, but I feel like that can't be good.
There's, like, emojis.
[DOROTHY.]
Are you kidding me? He is framing us, hello! Fuck! - Fuck, fuck! - Shit! [ALAN.]
That's exactly what he's doing.
Fuck me! Oh God, oh my God.
Fucking be kidding me.
Fuck my life, shit! - Oh shit.
- Fuck.

Fuck that shit, man! Okay, this can't be happening right now.
He doesn't know where we are.
- [ALAN.]
That's true.
- [JACK.]
Right? That's a good point.
[JACK.]
We can ditch the dead guy and just go our separate ways.
We can leave it anywhere.
No, that is not a good idea.
He killed Nick, and you stomped on this fucking guy's head.
I am not the one who fuckin' brought that lunatic into my house.
Okay, that costume was amazing.
- It wasn't a costume! - It wasn't a costume! Oh my God, oh my God, it was Halloween! How was I supposed to know? Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.
Okay, that dead cop took my name, man.
He radioed in about us.
[JACK.]
You know why? Because you're always throwing your name around.
Oh, look, you dropped something.
- Your fuckin' name.
- [ALAN.]
Oh, yeah, that's my fault.
That's on me, okay.
[JACK.]
Oh yeah, it is.
You know what? Good luck with it.
I'm fuckin' done.
- I'm out.
- You're done? Oh, you're gonna go? You're gonna walk away from here? Oh, this is really something coming from you.
Hey, by the way, quick question.
How you doin' with the very first problem in your entire life that you couldn't just throw money at, huh? How's that goin' for you? You didn't mind my money when you were hooverin' up my fuckin' drugs, right? Oh yeah, and you were pitchin' me your stupid fuckin' apps.
My stupid fucking apps? [DOROTHY.]
Shut the fuck up, both of you, oh my God! Nick, Nick is dead in your studio.
The cop, dead in your garage.
There's photos on both of your phones.
All right, maybe if maybe if we just give the the body back, and I'll say sorry.
Oh, wake up! We know nothing about this guy.
He has our names, your address.
I mean, Alan gave him his fucking résumé.
Okay, we don't need to keep putting each other down, you guys.
Okay, that psycho, he wore gloves.
Our prints are all over it.
He's gonna kill us whether or not we have this thing.
- It's a person.
- Oh! Fuck all that noise, okay? And the cops, when the cops come looking for us, they're gonna shoot me, and then he's gonna lock you both up.
Do you want to risk that, is that what you want to do? Okay! What the fuck do we do? We make it go away.
No body, no evidence.
We gotta bleach him.
Pulverize the teeth.
Burn off the fingerprints.
We disfigure the face.
We melt him down.
We drain the blood and the bodily fluids.
We mix those with bleach.
We also bleach the inside.
We chop him into pieces small enough that they can't be recognized as human in case somebody finds one of 'em.
Vinegar to soften the bones.
We put each part in a different plastic bag, fill 'em with lye, tie the tops, and we bury them as far away from each other as possible.
Uh, that is why you're single.
[ALAN.]
Oh, okay.
I'm the only one of us that watched Breaking Bad? Are you kidding me? That show redefined television.
[JACK.]
Okay, uh where exactly are we meant to do all this? Hm? I don't know, but you know what? Not here, so let's let's just go.
Let's go, yeah.
[ALAN.]
Oh, okay, no, I'll get it.
Thanks, guys, thanks for all of your help.
Appreciate it.
You dumb dicks.
Son of a bitch.
[CART RATTLING.]

Why do you have a gun? Why wouldn't I? What if I go to the movies or my local Planned Parenthood and some asshole comes in with a gun to shoot everyone? Nobody would've gotten hurt tonight if everybody had a gun.

It makes me feel safer.
Have you ever had to use it? I just killed two people right in front of you.
I know, who's gonna be next? You're not grasping the reality of what I'm saying.
I kill people.
You haven't killed me.

Doesn't he have like 20 million Twitter followers? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Well [EXHALES.]

[MAGGIE.]
Okay.
Ah, I'm in.
You can track pretty much anybody's smartphone as long as a single one of their apps has live location in the background.
Code's running.
So I gotta say, seeing you do what you do, hearing you talk, boom.
Suddenly so much makes sense.
How? I'll answer one of yours for each one you answer of mine.
Come on.
All the secrets, the deceptions.
You must be dying to just talk straight to someone.
Why are you here? Because I wanna be.
- Why? - Mm-mm.
My turn.
Who paid you? I don't know.
I never meet him.
Do you know what the dark web is? [MAGGIE.]
Yes.
The part of the internet that's encrypted and untraceable where you would go if you want someone killed.
It's one of the many places you can go to do that, yes.
The visible world is so bright and reassuring, but it needs the dark.
The man who pays me owns the dark.
You don't know him, he doesn't know you.
You get paid in electronic currency.
Completely anonymous.
How much did you get for the guy in the bag? More than anyone, ever.
And I thought you were hot before I knew you were rich.
[CHUCKLES.]
Your turn.
Do you know why I like Halloween, Maggie? The candy? People.
They wear masks their whole lives, pretending that life has meaning.
When you kill somebody, all of that's gone.
Halloween is the closest people come to admitting that we are defined by death.
How do you come to do what you do? Choose a job you love, you never have to work a day in your life.
I want that choice.
Life carries most people along.
So much happens, so little is made to happen.
But life is consequence.
You throw a glass, it breaks.
You cut someone, they bleed.
You kill someone, they're gone.
[WILKES GRUNTS.]
I was always taught that consequences are to be feared.
Every decision I make, every second of my life is based on what someone else wants or needs, it's like a fucking straitjacket.
And then there's you, saying consequences are proof of power.
You can do anything you want.
All of it's good, do it.
Because none of it means anything.
[MAGGIE.]
Was it hard to kill someone the first time? Maggie None of it's hard.

[TENSE MUSIC.]
You're watching me.
[MAN.]
Maybe.
On and off.
That wasn't part of the deal.
[MAN.]
Neither is lying to me.
Even great white sharks have their predators, Wilkes.
Two hours.
Sort your mess out.
Don't let me down.
Fuck me! [ALAN.]
Don't touch your face, Jack.
It's basically acid.
Okay.
What's next? [ALAN.]
Uh, burn off his fingerprints.
[DOROTHY.]
You, it's your turn.
Now, mm-hmm.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Okay.
[BLOWTORCH TURNS ON.]
Ugh, okay.
Oh.
Oh, shit.
The skin is coming off! - Oh, God.
- Fuck, ahh! Okay, ahh! Oh, fuck.
He's leaking.
He's leaking, he's leaking.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Why isn't Alan doing any of this gross shit, huh? He's the one that got us into this mess.
[ALAN.]
Hey! One of us has to keep our eye on the bigger picture, okay? I will look up the instructions, and you two carry them out.
Thank you.
Chop, chop.
[LIGHT MUSIC.]
We need to find that body, now.
You said "we.
" [CLEARS THROAT.]
Okay, this is them.
They're at a hardware store 10 blocks from here.
Alan is doing a Google search.
Trying to destroy a body, by the looks of it.
Now I can tap into any camera in the area with a built-in sensor or actuator.
There they are.
Is this live? It was 10 minutes ago.
If I connect Alan and Jack using Find My Friends, we can track them with Jack's phone.
Body cam footage is instantly uploaded to a cloud server.
Can you access that server? It'll be traceable to this computer.
I'm okay with that.
Me too.
Find the video we're in and delete it.
We should send it to them.
We've already sent the photos.
Let's have a little fun.

Hey! Trick or treat, motherfucker.

You guys look great.

[PHONE CHIMES.]
[ALAN.]
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit, get over here.
Guys.
[DOROTHY.]
Look, we have a dead body here.
We need your help.
Someone has been murdered.
[ALAN.]
Okay, okay, it's gettin' away from us here.
This isn't what it looks like, Officer.
Just listen to me, my name is Alan Morgan Adams.
What is this guy's problem? Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, oh my God.
- [JACK.]
Okay, uh - [DOROTHY.]
Hey, hey.
- [JACK.]
What do we do? - [DOROTHY.]
Focus, focus, focus.
[JACK.]
No, what do we do, what do we do? [DOROTHY.]
There is no footage of us killing the cop because we didn't actually do it.
He's just trying to freak us out.
He's trying to make us crack, that is all he's doing.
- [ALAN.]
Oh, my God.
- [JACK.]
Yeah, well, it's working.
I'm cracked.
Alan, I need you to log on to Jack's Apple account, Find My iPhone, and then delete all the messages.
That's it.
Wait, how do I do any of that? [JACK.]
Are you kidding me? You do it then, Jack! - I don't know how! - Exactly! [JACK.]
I pay nerds to do that for me.
All right? Maggie.
Maggie, Maggie's h Maggie's helping him.
Oh, wait, the blonde that was with him tonight? Yeah, the one that was dressed as, um uh, Elsa from Frozen.
- Yeah.
- Wow! Marie Antoinette, you dipshit! Do you know anything about anything that's not been made into an action figure? I'm so sorry, professor.
I'm not an expert in Civil War history, okay? [ALAN.]
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, you guys, it says here the lye is gonna take like hours to work.
Oh, shit.
We have to heat it to almost a thousand degrees? [DOROTHY.]
You didn't think to tell us that before we started? You could've looked it up your-fucking-self, Dot! Call me Dot one more fucking time.
[ALAN.]
What you gonna do? - [DOROTHY GROANS.]
- [ALAN.]
Do something.
I surrender and I let go, I surrender and I let go.
[ALAN.]
Do that.
Oh! It says here we could also burn the entire body, that would work.
What website are you on? Wikipedia.
- [DOROTHY LAUGHS.]
- What? [DOROTHY.]
Okay, you know what, it's not as if we can start a fire in here anyway, so.
[ALAN.]
Oh, yeah, actually, never mind because it has to be hot enough to turn him into ash, not just a bubbly stew person.
That's great.
[ALAN.]
So Hospitals, clinics, mortuaries, they they have incinerators.
My mom, she used to work at a hospital, and they'd also discard like the old placentas and the foreskins and stuff, they burn them at the end of the night.
[ALAN.]
Right, right, right, right, right, okay.
I can work with that.
Is the real world too gory for you, Monster Maker? Yes.
Yes, it is, actually.
- That's the whole point.
- Hold on.
Would a funeral home work? There's one on Hooper Street.
[DOROTHY.]
Yes, yeah, that's perfect.
Uh, I don't know about that, Dot.
[GULPS.]
rothy.
Uh, think about it.
We already broke into this building.
Now you want us to break into other buildings? There's there's more bodies.
Yes! The faster that we feed this fucker to the incinerator, the faster that this is done.
We take your trust fund money, we buy plane tickets to Jamaica, and we spend the rest of our miserable year drinking mojitos and having threesomes on the beach.
Okay, yeah.
Lead us to a funeral home.
[DOROTHY.]
Okay, great.
Clear your browser history, put him back in the cart.
You, clean this shit up.
You know neither one of us is gonna be in that threesome, right? Yeah, I know.
- [DOROTHY.]
Now! - [ALAN.]
Yeah, okay.
Ah, shit, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
[DOROTHY.]
Come on, let's cut through here.
Can you hurry up? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
I don't understand you, but I feel like you might be the first person I've met in a very long time that understands me.
After you kill them, after tonight, you can teach me some things.
I can teach you some things.
We can be together, just the two of us, doing anything we want.

Fuck! Okay.

Where'd he go? - [DOROTHY.]
I don't know.
[SIGHS.]
God, what is my deal? I'm sorry, Dorothy.
I'm sorry I got us into this.
I'm sorry I'm always up in everyone's face, I'm always pressuring people into doing shit.
I'm sorry I can never stop running my fucking mouth.
Calm down, it's fine.

Fuck you.
Go.
Go to the incinerator please.
[ALAN.]
Yeah, okay.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Wait, what am I supposed to do once I find it? It's an oven, Alan.
Do you know how to turn on an oven? Uh, okay.

Seriously, that's all you have? [ALAN.]
It was all I could find, Dorothy.
Oh, my God, you scared the shit outta me.
[DOROTHY.]
Is this it, this is it? Yeah, it's gonna take a minute to heat up.
We don't have a minute, Alan.
The son of a bitch is in the building.
- What? - Yeah.
Are you serious? It has to get to like 1400 degrees or it's not gonna work.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, we're gonna die tonight.
We're gonna die tonight.
We're gonna fucking die tonight.
No, no, um, um, okay, don't check out on me now.
Just get this thing going, I have an idea.
Oh, fuck.
[JACK.]

Please, God.
Please let me live.
Please, little sweet baby Jesus.
Please let me live.
I'll give all my money to kids.

I'll live my life in the past, the present, and the future.
I will never do any drugs, and I won't disrespect women.
