Dante's Cove (2004–2007): Season 1, Episode 1 - The Beginning - full transcript

SIR.

[ HEARTBEAT THUMPING ]

OH.

MISS?

GOOD HEAVENS.

WHY, MISS.

YOU SEEM DISTRACTED.

DO I?

YES.

IS SOMETHING BOTHERING YOU, MY
LOVE?

WELL, IF YOU MUST KNOW, I SAW
THE WAY YOU LOOKED



AT THAT GIRL ON THE STREET AND
I...

GRACE, I CAN ASSURE YOU I HAVE
ABSOLUTELY

NO INTEREST IN OTHER WOMEN.

I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU.

IF I AM TO BE YOUR HUSBAND,

YOU MUST TRUST ME.

PERHAPS I'M JUST A BIT ANXIOUS
OVER OUR WEDDING.

FORGIVE ME, DARLING.

YES.

NOT NOW.

[ HEARTBEAT THUMPING ] WHY NOT
NOW?

WE MUSTN'T SPOIL OUR WEDDING
NIGHT.

YOUR RESTRAINT IS ADMIRABLE,
MY LOVE.

BESIDES, MOTHER'S EXPECTING
ME. I... I SHOULD GO.



UNTIL TOMORROW.

TOMORROW.

[ DOOR OPENS AND THEN CLOSES ]

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU REQUIRE,
SIR?

YES, RAYMOND.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE IS.

NO.

YOU FILTHY, LITTLE PCE OF
RUBBISH.

NO, GRACE.

GRACE.

CONSIDER THE WEDDING NIGHT
SPOILED.

GRACE, NO.

AAH!

NO!

[ WHIP LASHING ]

[ THUNDER ]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHERE AM I?

I ASKED YOU WHERE I AM.

WHY DO YOU NOT ANSWER ME?

[ GRACE LAUGHING ] IT'S
USELESS.

NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU.

UNLEASH ME.

SOMEBODY WILL COME LOOKING FOR
ME.

SOMEBODY WILL FIND ME.

YOU HAVE ONE LAST CHANCE.

COME BACK TO ME,

OR HERE YOU SHALL SPEND
ETERNITY.

I WOULD RATHER ROT IN HELL
THAN BE HERE WITH YOU.

THEN ROT. STAY STUBBORN.

IN TIME YOUR HEART WILL WEEP
IN DESPERATION.

IN TIME THE LONELINESS WILL
SPREAD THROUGH YOUR

BODY LIKE THE PLAGUE.

SET ME FREE.

I BEG YOU.

OH, YOU SHALL HAVE YOUR
FREEDOM.

I WOULD HATE TO DENY YOU
HAPPINESS.

THE KISS OF A YOUNG MAN WILL
SET YOU FREE.

THEN I SHALL FIND A YOUNG MAN.

A YOUNG MAN WILL DESIRE ME.

OH, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FACE.

THIS IS THE FACE I FELL SO IN
LOVE WITH.

FORGIVE ME.

I FORGOT HOW YOU SO LOVE YOUR
OWN REFLECTION.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?

WITH EVERY DAWN, A GLIMPSE OF
LIGHT WILL SHINE ON YOUR FACE.

THE FACE THAT HAS BETRAYED ME,

THE FACE THAT YOU SHALL FLAUNT
FOR ETERNITY.

[ WHIP LASHING ]

NO!

HUH!

I'VE NOT DISOBEYED YOU,
MOTHER.

AMBROSIUS IS DEAD.

HE ONLY WANTED MY POWER

AND TO MASTER THE POWERS OF
TREASON.

MY INSTINCTS DID NOT BETRAY
ME.

I KNEW HE WAS HIDING SOMETHING
FROM US ALL ALONG.

HE HAD NO INTEREST IN YOU.

NO INTEREST IN WOMEN AT ALL.

WITHOUT HIS SEED, HE WAS
USELESS.

BUT WHAT WILL WE TELL
EVERYONE?

I MEAN, HIS MOTHER, EMILY.

UH, SHE WILL COME LOOKING FOR
HIM.

SHE WILL BE ASKING QUESTIONS.

AMBROSIUS LEFT DANTE'S COVE

TO PURSUE BUSINESS IN NEW
YORK.

NO ONE WILL DOUBT THAT.

THIS SACRIFICE WILL APPEASE
THE WITCHES OF TREASON

UNTIL YOU MATE WITH A REAL
MAN.

I DID NOT WISH TO BE FORSAKEN.

WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE
REMAINS?

I BURIED THEM.

WHERE?

BEHIND THE LIGHTHOUSE.

TAKE ME TO THEM.

YOU MUST NOT LEAVE ANY TRACE.

I WILL FEED THEM TO THE DOGS.

PLEASE. ALLOW ME THE PLEASURE.

SO BE IT.

GRACE, I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU.

PLEASE.

HEY, MAN, CAN YOU STOP HERE?

YEAH, SURE, NO PROBLEM.

KEV, COME ON.

HEY, CALM DOWN.

WHAT? I MISSED YOU.

HE'S WATCHING US.

OH, YEAH?

OOPS, MY HEADPHONES.

OKAY THERE?

DID YOU FIND THEM YET?

[ KEV MOANING ]

DID YOU FIND YOUR HEADPHONES?

[ KEV MOANING ]

DID YOU FIND THEM?

HE'S WATCHING, MAN.

AAH! OKAY.

YEAH, GOT 'EM.

I WANTED TOMATOES.

DO YOU HAVE TOMATOES ON YOURS?

YEAH.

HERE, GIVE ME SOME.

I LOVE TOMATOES.

I LOVE YOUR TOMATOES.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL HERE.

YEAH, SURE IS.

DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN
THIS.

HEY, DO YOU REALIZE THIS IS
PRETTY MUCH WHERE WE FIRST MET?

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU SAID THAT I WAS RED,

AND THAT I SHOULD PUT SUN
BLOCK ON.

WHAT A LINE.

PRETTY LAME, BUT I HAD TO GET
YOUR ATTENTION SOMEHOW.

WHAT WAS THAT? LIKE TWO MONTHS
AGO?

MAY 4.

OH, MY GOD! YOU REMEMBER THE
DATE?

YOU'RE SUCH A GEEK.

YOU WANNA WORK OUT?

WE CAN.

YOU DON'T SOUND LIKE YOU WANNA
WORK OUT.

WELL, UH, I USUALLY ONLY GO
THREE TIMES A WEEK.

THREE TIMES A WEEK.

I WANNA GO ALL THE TIME.

SO? OH, YEAH?

YEAH. SO, I CAN GET OUT OF THE
HOUSE.

JUST GET AWAY FROM MY MOM AND
YOU KNOW WHO.

STEPDAD?

YEAH.

WHAT?

NOTHING.

MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL AND PUT
SOME ON MY BACK.

I LOVE GETTING MASSAGES.

LOVE GIVING THEM TO YOU.

IF YOU KEEP THIS UP,

WE'RE NEVER GONNA MAKE IT TO
THE GYM.

YEAH, I KNOW. THAT'S THE IDEA.

I'M GONNA FUCK YOU.

YOU THINK SO, HUH?

I DON'T THINK SO.

KEV?

HMM?

SURE GOT USED TO THIS,

SEEING YOU,

HAVING YOU HERE.

ME, TOO.

WHAT TIME ARE YOU LEAVING
TOMORROW?

SHOULD BE ON THE ROAD ABOUT
NINE.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO BACK TO
DANTE'S.

I KNOW. ME, NEITHER.

HEY, I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

OH, YEAH, WHAT'D YOU GET?

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

OH, MY GOD!

THIS WAS FROM OUR FIRST DATE.

I THOUGHT YOU LOST THIS?

I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.

OH, MY GOD, YOU LOOK SO CUTE.

LOOK AT MY HAIR.

I KNOW, WAY TOO MUCH PRODUCT.

MAN, THANKS. THIS IS SO COOL.

YOU CAN PUT IT ON YOUR DESK.

OH, YEAH.

RIGHT.

SO MY STEPDAD CAN SEE IT.

YOU KNOW, THIS SUMMER'S REALLY
BEEN AWESOME.

IT'S BEEN THE BEST EVER.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

WE'LL STILL SEE EACH OTHER,
WON'T WE?

WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?

WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?

WELL, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
US?

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

IF THINGS GET BAD AT HOME
AGAIN,

YOU KNOW YOU GOT A PLACE TO
STAY.

I'LL BE FINE.

IT'LL ALL BE FINE.

I JUST WISH YOU COULD STAY.

I GOT A JOB AT THE COVE.

I GOTTA START WORKING OFF MY
LOANS.

BESIDES, I CAN'T STAY HERE.

I'LL HAVE TO FIND A PLACE.

YOU COULD STAY WITH ME.

NO, THANKS.

THEY WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT US.

YES, THEY WOULD.

AND I DON'T WANNA HIDE IT. WHY
SHOULD I?

MY MOM DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT ME.

SHE KNOWS.

SHE THINKS I HAVE A
GIRLFRIEND.

KEVIN. WHAT?

STOP TRYING TO HIDE IT.

I DON'T.

OH, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT?

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO
WITH THEM.

BECAUSE I HAVE TO.

IT'S NOT EASY FOR ME LIKE IT
IS FOR YOU.

IT'S NOT SO EASY FOR ME.

OH, YES, IT IS.

HOW?

IF I HAD PARENTS LIKE YOURS

THAT WERE TOTALLY COOL ABOUT
IT,

IT'D BE DIFFERENT.

IF I LIVE WITH KIDS THAT WERE
GAY LIKE YOU ARE,

IT'D BE DIFFERENT.

HEY, YOU'RE GAY, TOO.

OH, WHATEVER.

YOU KNOW, I'M SICK OF YOU AND
EVERYONE TRYING TO.

DON'T GET ALL BENT OUT OF
SHAPE.

WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT IT?

I'M JUST SICK OF IT.

LOOK. WHAT?

I DON'T WANNA GET INTO A BIG
FIGHT ABOUT THIS.

WELL, YOU STARTED IT.

STOP éLING.

WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP?

DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP IN MY
OWN PLACE.

I THINK I'VE BEEN MORE THAN
PATIENT WITH YOU.

PATIENCE?

YEAH.

I SAW YOU CHECKING OUT RYAN.

THE PIZZA DELIVERY BOY.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.

YOU DON'T TRUST ME.

YOU'VE BEEN WITH HIM?

NO. RIGHT.

OH, TOBY, YOU KNOW WHAT? WHEN?
TELL ME.

WHAT'S THE POINT?

OF? OF US.

IT ISN'T GONNA WORK.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

'CAUSE NOTHING EVER DOES.

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT YOU TO
GO?

WE MIGHT AS WELL END THIS NOW.

YOU'RE LEAVING TOMORROW
ANYWAYS.

[ PHONE RINGING ]

WE'RE NEVER GONNA SEE EACH
OTHER.

WHY MAKE IT HARDER? HEY, MOM.

KEVIN, WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M AT THE MALL.

THE ONE WITH THE DRY
CLEANER'S?

THE OTHER MALL.

OH.

WELL, YOUR STEPFATHER NEEDS
THAT SUIT WE DROPPED OFF.

YOU CAN'T PICK IT UP?

IS THERE SOME REASON YOU CAN'T
SWING BY ON YOUR WAY HOME?

WE'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

OKAY, I'LL DO IT.

I GOTTA GO PICK UP SOMETHING
FOR MY MOM.

HE'S SCREWING AROUND WITH THAT
BOY AGAIN,

ISN'T HE?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE
ANYMORE.

SO, THIS IS IT?

I GUESS SO.

I DON'T WANT IT TO BE LIKE
THIS.

I GOTTA GO PICK UP SOMETHING
FOR MY MOM.

YOU WANNA TAKE OFF, THERE'S
THE DOOR.

SEE YOU, TOBY.

SCREW HIM.

[ PHONE RINGING ]

HI, MOM.

KEVIN, HOW SOON ARE YOU COMING
HOME?

WELL, IS JACK GONNA BE THERE?

OF COURSE.

AND BESIDES, I THOUGHT WE
COULD ALL HAVE DINNER

TOGETHER FOR A CHANGE.

MOM, I DON'T LIKE IT THERE.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T LIKE THAT
TONE OF VOICE, YOUNG MAN.

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

NO, YOU LISTEN.

I-I FEEL LIKE A PRISONER.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE LIVING UNDER
THIS ROOF,

YOU'LL DO AS YOU'RE TOLD.

NOW, I WANT YOU HOME NOW.

IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?

KEVIN?

HE HUNG UP ON ME.

IF YOU HADN'T SPOILED THE
LITTLE BRAT,

HE WOULDN'T GIVE YOU THAT LIP.

[ PHONE RINGING ]

HELLO?

HEY, IT'S ME.

TOBY, THAT'S SO WEIRD. I WAS
JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU.

HOW'S EVERYTHING AT THE DANTE?

IT'S FINE.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH.

HOW'S EVERYTHING WITH YOU AND
KEVIN?

NOT SO GOOD.

WHAT'S WRONG?

WE BROKE UP, VAN.

OH, NO. WHAT HAPPENED?

WE GOT IN A HUGE ARGUMENT.

HE DOESN'T WANNA COME LIVE
WITH ME AT DANTE'S COVE.

THAT'S A VERY BIG STEP FOR
SOMEONE WHO STILL LIVES

AT HOME WITH HIS FAMILY.

HE'LL COME AROUND. JUST GIVE
IT TIME.

HIS PARENTS DON'T APPROVE.

THEY'RE IN DENIAL THAT HE'S
EVEN GAY.

THEY THINK I'M CORRUPTING HIM.

WELL, AT SOME POINT, KEVIN'S
GONNA DECIDE

TO LIVE HIS OWN LIFE.

VAN, I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S
OVER.

I'M COMING HOME.

I'LL BE HERE.

A SHOULDER TO CRY ON AND
EVERYTHING.

BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD TRY AND
LEAVE KEVIN ON GOOD TERMS.

HE MIGHT CHANGE HIS MIND, YOU
KNOW.

YEAH, IF HE'D EVEN TALK TO ME.

TRUST ME,

HE WILL.

AND MAKE UP SEX IS ALWAYS THE
BEST.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M ALWAYS RIGHT. YOU SHOULD
NOW THAT BY NOW.

YEAH, I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON
YOU

TO MAKE ME SMILE.

I LOVE YOU.

LOVE YOU, TOO.

BYE.

[ THEME MUSIC PLAYING ]

BYE.

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

THAT MUST BE KEVIN.

ONLY AN HOUR LATE.

WE WENT AHEAD AND ATE.

THE FOOD'S ICY COLD NOW.

SORRY, TRAFFIC WAS MURDER.

BULLSHIT.

I GOT YOUR DAMN SUIT. WHAT
ELSE DO YOU WANT?

KEVIN.

I'M SICK OF THIS.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL HIM TO
BACK OFF?

I'LL DO NO SUCH THING.

WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU LATELY?

NOTHING.

OH, I CAN TELL YOU WHAT'S
GOTTEN INTO HIM.

THAT BOY.

IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

UH-HUH.

WE THINK YOU'VE BEEN SPENDING

TOO MUCH TIME WITH HIM.

WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT HIM ANYMORE.

TOBY MOVED BACK TO DANTE'S
COVE.

GOOD. MAYBE THINGS WILL GET
BACK TO NORMAL AROUND HERE.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED
TO MEAN?

OH, DO I NEED TO SPELL IT OUT
FOR YOU?

JACK.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST CALL ME GAY
TO MY FACE

AND GET IT OVER WITH?

WELL, ARE YOU?

'CAUSE I'M NOT LIVING IN THE
SAME HOUSE WITH A FAGGOT.

FAGGOT?

YEAH.

YEAH, WELL, I'M A FAGGOT.

SO, WHY DON'T YOU GET THE HELL
OUT OF HERE?

STOP THIS, BOTH OF YOU.

EITHER HE GOES OR I GO.

OH, DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

MAKE HIM LEAVE, MOM. HE'S AN
ASSHOLE.

UGH!

YOU EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN,
I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF.

JACK, NO.

YOU SEE THE WAY HE TREATS US?

YOU CAN TAKE IT, BUT I CAN'T.

MAKE HIM LEAVE.

KEVIN, JUST, JUST CALM DOWN.

I'M JUST GONNA MAKE THIS
EASIER ON YOU, OKAY?

I'M OUT OF HERE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I SHOULD'VE DONE THIS A LONG
TIME AGO.

I'M GONNA LIVE WITH TOBY IN
DANTE'S COVE.

KEVIN!

UNSOLVED SHIT WENT ON HERE.

LIKE IN THE 1950'S, THERE WAS
A FAMILY

THE PARENTS WENT OUT ONE

AND WHEN THEY CAME BACK, THEY
FOUND THEIR CHILDREN MISSING.

AAH!

LIVIN' IT UP AT THE HOTEL
DANTE.

I'D BE WAY TOO TRIPPED OUT TO

THIS PLACE IS SO SPOOKY.

I'M JUST NOT THE TYPE OF
PERSON THAT GETS SCARED.

I, OKAY, WILL GO TO A HORROR
FILM, AND LIKE,

I'M GONNA GO OUT FOR SOME ICE.

NO PROBLEM.

THIS PLACE IS A TRIP.

HERE THEY ARE.

WHAT THE HELL?

THIS WAS A PRISON HERE
ORIGINALLY.

I'M DYING.

WHO DID THIS?

THE WOMAN WHO LIVES THERE

AND HAUNTS YOUR DREAM.

THE WOMAN FROM MY NIGHTMARE
DID THIS TO YOU?

YEAH.

AAGH!

YOUR KISS HAS SET ME FREE.

WHO ARE YOU?

AMBROSIUS.

AMBROSIUS VALLEN.

NO, NO.

NO, NO.

NO, AAH.

UNTIL NEXT TIME.

KEV, ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

KEVIN!

KEVIN!

KEVIN!

OH, MY GOD, YOU'RE BLEEDING.

WHAT HAPPENED? KEVIN?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO HIM?

HIS WOUND WAS SELF-INFLICTED.

NO, SOMEBODY DID THAT TO HIM
AT THE PARTY.

LET ME SEE YOUR... NO!

HAS KEVIN EVER ABUSED ANY
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES?

NO.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

CRYSTAL METH?

NO, UH, I'M SURE KEVIN HASN'T
DONE

ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT HOW DID YOU?

GO TO HELL.

KEVIN WENT INTO CARDIAC
ARREST.

HAD HE BEEN ADMITTED ANY
LATER,

HE WOULD HAVE SUFFERED SERIOUS
BRAIN DAMAGE.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT?

JESUS, LET ME HELP YOU.

WE ARE WAITING ON SOME
RESULTS.

PLEASE BE PATIENT.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

GO!

DEATH LIVES.

FOR THE YEARS HE CRAVED LIGHT,

WE WILL HAVE DARKNESS.

HEY. HEY.

WHERE IS KEVIN?

HE'S AT THE HOSPITAL.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

HIS WRIST GOT CUT.

HOW?

BY ACCIDENT.

THAT EXPLAINS THE BLOOD IN THE
BASEMENT.

IS HE OKAY?

IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO?

HE'S FINE.

IT WAS JUST A SLIGHT WOUND.

SO, WHY DON'T THEY LET HIM GO?

I THINK HE WAS TOO WEAK.

POOR THING.

WHY?

THE CUT WAS DEEPER THAN THEY
THOUGHT.

YOU JUST SAID IT WAS NOTHING.

NOBODY'S BUYING YOUR STORY.

TOBY, I THINK YOU SHOULD GO
UPSTAIRS.

I CAN'T.

I JUST DON'T WANNA BE ALONE
RIGHT NOW.

WAS HE TWEAKING ON CRYSTAL?

WHO SAID KEVIN WAS USING?

IT'S KINDA OBVIOUS.

KEVIN WASN'T ON DRUGS, OKAY?

YOU SOUND LIKE THE DOCTOR.

HE JUST HAD A FEW BEERS.

AND A FEW... [ SNIFFS ]

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO BACK
THAT UP WITH?

YOU KNOW YOU'RE SO QUICK TO
ACCUSE OTHERS OF USING,

IT MAKES ME WONDER WHO MIGHT
BE HIDING SOMETHING HERE, ADAM.

WHAT DID KEVIN CUT HIMSELF ON?

SOMETHING IN THE BASEMENT.

THERE'S A SHIT LOAD OF GLASS
DOWN THERE,

AND IT'S DARK AS HELL.

I BET SOMEBODY JUMPED HIM.

MAYBE LIKE YOU BEAT THE SHIT
OUT OF ME IN HIGH SCHOOL?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE FOCUSED
ON YOUR STUDIES

AND LESS ON MY PACKAGE.

FUCK YOU.

YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR.

I'M SICK OF YOUR DRAMA.

TOBY, TOBY.

DON'T LISTEN TO THAT MORON.

SOMEBODY HERE DID THAT TO
KEVIN.

LISTEN, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO
KEVIN, HE'S GONNA BE OKAY,

RIGHT?

I DIDN'T WANT THE OTHERS TO
KNOW.

CAN YOU JUST KEEP THIS BETWEEN
US?

THE DOCTORS THINK THAT KEVIN
MIGHT HAVE TRIED

TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

HE'S HAD SUCH A HARD LIFE.

I THOUGHT ONCE WE WERE
TOGETHER,

THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT.

YOU GAVE HIM THE CHANCE TO GET
OUT.

THAT'S WHAT HE NEEDED.

DO YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE
REALLY CUT HIMSELF?

NO, I'M SURE IT WAS AN
ACCIDENT.

HEY, I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD
GO

IN YOUR ROOM AND CHILL FOR A
WHILE.

IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,

YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME.

YEAH, YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN
HANGING IN HERE

FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS.

COOL PLACE, RUNS CHEAP.

I CAME TO DANTE'S COVE FROM
RUSSIA WITH LOVE.

AND SO, YOUR POISON MUST BE
VODKA.

NO, NOT REALLY.

TALL GLASS OF ME?

YOU'RE A DICK.

I'M SORRY.

I DON'T SPEAK LESBIANESE.

DASVIDANIA.

HI, I'M CORY.

HAVE I SEEN YOU HERE BEFORE?

I ASSURE YOU, YOU HAVE NOT.

WELL, HAVE A DRINK, DUDE.

STAY A WHILE.

I PLAN ON STAYING A VERY LONG
TIME.

YEAH, NIGHT'S YOUNG.

YOU COULD SAY THAT.

UH, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

AMBROSIUS.

HEY.
