like the rusty old hinges,

heavy mahogany wood.

Hand carved from a tree trunk,
specifically made for a woman of course,

... they wanna make a mock-up,

of styrofoam and paint it
or something,

i mean...

- An arm guy?

Yeah.

He'll get it for me.

Unreal...

You really are a doll.

Ok, how about 10 o'clock?

He hasn't told you, has he?

Yeah.

So what you gonna do?

I mean, you got any
plan or anything?

- No, ah...

He robbed my arm!

Let me just say this one last thing,
and then i'll shut up.

I care because you've worked
hard for this place.

I didn't know what was gonna
happen to us...

And then a call came through...
and it was you...and...

and you... you sent for us...
uh...you've rescued us

And brought us here.

and every day i would wake up...
and think i was dreaming.

Have you seen my resume?

What resume?

Exactly. What about Sweets?

Chep, we can't keep him
in the dark forever.

You keep your voice down!

I'm bringing that kid along
slowly bit by bit..

I've figured if i told him all at once
he's a lot to go Bugnut-e.

Hum... what is that?

Bugnut-e. You know, its just running
amok with an ax as some shit

Hamish...

The place just isn't turning a profit
anymore Ok?.

What am i supposed to do?

We've got all a little soft.
admittedly...

I mean, when was the last time
any of us did anything productive?

We've lost track

And this is why you're feeling
what you're feeling...

- What the hell is that i'm
feeling what i'm feeling?

- This conversation it's over!
- Bundy...

Hello!

Hi, yeah thanks for calling back, i just
wanna know do you have monkey suits?

Apes!

Ape's suits

Great avoid the issue.
Just avoid it, back into the monkey's.

Yeah, 4 full ape suits

Allright , thank you. Bye!

What's happening?

More than you can bear,
looks like to us.

I don't like this.

Oh this is all new, Chep.

The whole world it's coming
to an end it seems

Don't you worry,
we get you through it.

Just listen to what we say.

Wait...

Can i help you?

Good morning,
i'm detective Barbara.

58 division.

It's about those gorillas?

- Gorillas?
- No.

A prop of your's was stolen from
the set of Betty Bumcakes,

some rhinoceros eyes.

Those fuckers...

Yeah well. They've filed a report.

So, since when they put a detective
on the trail of a stolen prop?.

I don't know really, but they
gave it to me, so here i am.

That's kind'a fucked up job uh?

Yeah.

Thanks.

There was also a robbery,
last night across the street,

a womans prosthetic arm
was taken.

Do we get a prosthetic
arm today?

- No.
- No, sorry.

Well it looks like ahh... same suspect
might pulled both jobs.

Wow it's fucking ugly.

Sweets, did your mother stealed
some ones prosthetic arm last night?

No, sorry i can't help you.

Kinda looks like Tor Johnson.

Tor Johnson?

The wrestler.

Maybe the greatest fucking wrestler
of all times, and a very good actor.

It was a giant and the horror...

Yeah, but it's dead now so you're barking
at the wrong pole there pal..

Hey, you know that mask we
got Chep for Halloween,

i think that's supposed
to be Tor Johnson.

A mask?

uh?

Who's Chep?

Just this kid i got
working for me.

He's a good kid, keeps to himself, he
wouldn't get mixed in anything like this.

Besides he never
leaves the place,

I mean literally hasn't been out of
here in... like what 3 years?.

I tried to take him out one night, he just
became scared and backed here so...

you're wasting
your time.

How do you spell that... Chep?

I don't know...

With a "C".

"H"?

I woul'd go with a "C"

Maybe you could tell me
a little more about him.

I'd appreciate it.

Chep it's what you'd call... an idiot.

- Idiot S...
- Savant!

Idiot savant.

I only hire idiot's savant's.

How long has Chep been
working for you?

- Few years.
- Three years.

He just sort of showed up
with a load i bought at an auction.

What do you mean?

Well seems Chep lived his all life
with his grandparents,

and... quite
tragically they died

City auctioned all
what they had

- Which's some primo shit by the way.
- Rather good stuff, still have it in it's own section.

And when Chep came along with the
delivery we just... sort of uh. Took him in.

I's been here ever since
He doesn't know he works around any more.

So, it's all i've gotta
say about that

You think it would be
possible if i spoke with Chep?

Yeah go ahead.

He's in the back somewhere.

Yeah.

Over there?

"The back" is everywhere behind
the front of this desk.

Chep is generally back there.

I'll have a look
thank you

This is my card.

First of all your lady friend,

you have to do more than gather
bits and pieces for her

She wants more than that.

And you need more from her,
understand?

Second, watch out for this guy, don't let
him get between you and your journey,

don't let him take you
away from her.

Tell him... nothing.

Okay.

Are you Chep?

No.

Yes...

I'm detective Barbara i was wondering
if I could ask you... a few questions

No.

It'll only take a few minutes.

There were some robberies.

One involving a prop
from here, and...

one, last night across
the street

I was wondering if you
knew anything about that

You know you're boss tells me
that you actually live here

Yeah...

I'd like to take a look
at you room if...

That'll be alright with you.

Well i live everywhere.

Everywhere.?

All over, i live in all the rooms.

That's quite a space.

what, do you think you could
show me around... anyway?

I'll apreciate that.

Okay.

A cross, a cross.

It's a very big cross.

Back here is, our medical supplies.

Hey Chep what's uh... up here?

That is...

- That is.... boxes and... junk
- Can i take a look?

Back here is...
it's more interesting back here.

- But, can i see this first, it's okay?
- Okay, be careful.

It's an odd place for a chair.

Is it...?

In front of the window.

Yeah... is the window.

You know that robbery i told
you about, last night

took place in that house
right over there.

Really?

Yeah.

May i see the mask you
wore for Haloween?

What mask?

Well, you were given
a mask for Haloween...

May i see it please?

I didn't wore a
mask for Haloween.

I don't even have
any masks.

What wore you
for Haloween?

Just me.

I think you got me mixed up
with some other masked person.

Who said anything about
a masked person?

- Y-you just said.
- No, i didn't.

- Yes you did.
- No i didn't.

Well i'm here all the time,

purple triumph isn't it?

Thats the "Purple Triumph"?

Hollywood history
