I could live here.
You think?
I do. I really could live here.
Well I hate to break it to you, pal, but this is my place. I live here. I don't know you from Adam and you're trespassing.
I see.
Good. So get the hell off my property.
Can't I at least watch the end of the sunset?
You got 20 bucks?
Uh, no.
Beat it.

Where's Larry?
He's bringing the package.
Tell him to hurry up. It's almost dark.
Why does that matter?
Because, idiot, this light is special.
Yeah? So?
And the package happens to be very photogenic.

Amazing!
What Herr Doktor?
My years of archeological fieldwork have finally paid off! After being buried for centuries, the masterpiece is revealed to the world at last!
That stuff over there? Isn't it just a bunch of stuck together driftwood?
Exactly what the ancients wanted you to think!
Wow. What is it then?
That's what is so exciting! Etched onto its surface are precise yet ancient runes that I have now translated!
What do they say?
They are a warning! A very dire one at that!
Like what?
They predict nothing less than the end of the world!
They do? When?
Actually, pretty soon, I imagine.
What? How pretty soon?
"Soon" being after dug up and revealed to the world.
Shit! Doktor! You're doing that right now!
So it appears. Quite a, how do you say? Bummer, isn't it? I think that would be the word. Bummer. Indeed.

Spiritual Priorities

See you later, archangel. I'm heading out.
Oh? Where to lord?
My favorite place on Earth! Maybe the cosmos!
I know where that is!
I've got a spot all picked out, right on the beach.
Cool.
I might even have a few of the old crowd come visit.
Yeah?
Zeus, Thor, you know, those guys. I might convince Aphrodite to come if I butter her up enough.
She's a cutie!
Totally. But the most important thing I gotta bring. . .
Let me guess: sand toys?
Keee-rectamundo! Can't forget them.
We all have our spiritual priorities, don't we lord?
We do. Some of which are even worth mentioning.

Nice evening, ain't it?
I spose.
Mind if I smoke?
I do. You can't smoke here.
Why not? Who's gonna know?
I'll know. You'll know. That's enough.
What're you gonna do about it?
Well, for starters, I'm gonna take that cigarette outta your mouth. Then I'm gonna break your arm with it.
You don't much like people smoking, do you?
Actually, I don't much like people at all.
I never woulda guessed.

Stanley, peel me a grape.
Would you like it with a glass of bubbly, Edna?
That sounds lovely.
Do you need anything else?
Well, you could tell the sun to stop moving.
I'll get right on it.
That would be perfect.

Angels Flying Low

honeyj has posted:

There they go again.
Who?
My former classmates at angel school. Show-offs.
You're an angel?
Would be if I wasn't kicked out. Look at them. They're just rubbing it in.
Really? That wouldn't be nice; but aren't they just, you know, clouds?
No. And trust me. They've got it made. They don't have to be nice.
But if they're angels, by definition they must be perfect, right?
Don't believe everything you read.
Bummer.
Tell me about it.

sea monsters. and how about the swimmer? did you know him?
oh. he was a reporter, for the local paper.
and this was your uncle?
did I say that? yes. my. . . uncle. he didn't like him snooping around the lab.
I see. and now the reporter's gone?
oh, yes. very gone. for good, I'm sure.

good morning, lord.
it's a perfect one, archangel.
have you enjoyed your vacation here?
immensely. in fact, I'm staying.
you are?
this is heaven, as far as I'm concerned.
but lord. do you think that's wise?
what's the worst thing that can happen? that a racist idiot is elected president? too late.
good point.
my phone is off till it's over. in the meantime, somebody else can deal with the madness.
not me, I hope.
did you bring the sand toys?
they're right here.
then stay.
you are so benevolent, lord.
that's what I hear. hand me that shovel. let's build something while there's still a beach left to play on.

ok. give me the shovel. you take the bucket.
I figure if we're lucky, we might be done by fall.
one big sand castle, this is gonna be.
the biggest.
