Later, the trio drives out to the waterfront in Rachel's car. Steve wants to know what could cause that behavior. Rachel thinks it's caused by 'roid rage, and claims somebody saw Andy bite off the head of a kitten in a fit of rage. So did the kitten sexually arouse Andy, too? Ew. Anyway, Gavin disagrees that the source of the violence is steroids. Rachel mocks him and tells Steve that Gavin has some wacky theory about sinister forces at work. Doesn't she watch movies? Always trust the delinquent teenager. They always figure it out first. Gavin tells Rachel to "fail to be a complete bitch." Rachel counters, "Fail to be a pucker-ass, Gavin." Both of you fail to use that "fail to" sentence construction ever again. Another day at school. As Gavin leads Steve into the boiler room, he tells him about witnessing Andy kill Blowjob Girl. Apparently, the official party line is that Blowjob Girl ran away. Steve asks why Gavin hasn't gone to the police; he explains that Officer Cox (at last, a name) saw it all and didn't do anything. There's no mention of Spender getting offed, too. Poor guy. Nobody cared. Just like on The X-Files. Gavin rummages around for a pack of cigs and explains that this is the only safe place at school to grab a smoke. Just then, the boys are startled by a manhole cover on the floor sliding open and a hand clutching a dead rat reaching out. Run, boys, run! You've wandered onto the production of It! Oh wait, it's not an evil clown -- it's Will "Porno" Sadler, who is just a little bit less scary. But just a little bit. Porno is covered with muck and dressed up like a maintenance man. He demands to know what the boys are doing there. Oh, and he's totally doing the voice of Dana Carvey's cranky old man from the Saturday Night Live news segments. Gavin calms him down and introduces Steve. Porno starts ranting about rats, and I can hardly understand a word he's saying. He pulls out what appears to be the kind of boombox that astronauts might have brought with them on the lunar lander. It's made of aluminum and has this whole fifties vibe to it. He complains that it's supposed frighten rats, but it doesn't. He turns it on, and it makes a sounds like the background noises on the bridge of the original Star Trek series. See, there's the problem. It's for aliens, not rats. Gavin explains to Steve that Ratcatcher Porno is essentially the "village idiot" and is waging a war against vermin. A rat turns on another boombox elsewhere in the boiler room with its nose, and Ratcatcher Porno gets angry and melodramatic and goes to chase it off. I think his problem with the rats is that he doesn't want anybody chewing the scenery except him.Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20Next
