episode Five (5)
The one-armed man, with the bread, is humming and chanting, he is in a sort of trance, trying to make a telepathic link with someone. He calls out:
ONE-ARMED MAN
Otisss
Otis comes in, but moving as if he is not really in control of his body, as if he was a summoned spirit.
OTIS
Jake?
ONE-ARMED MAN
Jake is dead.
OTIS (seeing the one-armed man for the first time)
How did you summon me? Send me back.
ONE-ARMED MAN
Where are you?
OTIS
Im on my way to Mount Vernon, racing down destinys dusty road in an old grey pickup truck driven by a most succulent dark-haired blood-feast. Send me back now before he suspects that Im astral projecting.
ONE-ARMED MAN
I have the bread.
OTIS
Thats impossible.
ONE-ARMED MAN
I found it on a roadside. Meet me in Oelwein.
OTIS
No. That place stinks of death.
ONE-ARMED MAN
Everywhere you stand stinks of death.
OTIS
It stinks of my death. And yours.
ONE-ARMED MAN
I command you, by the power of the Bread, meet me in Oelwein.
OTIS
The high priest is dead. You have no power.
ONE-ARMED MAN
(brandishing the bread) I am the high priest. I have the bread.
OTIS (seeing the bread for the first time)
Thats the bread?!? No! No!! I almost sat on that bread! The bread was within my reach and I let him throw it out the window!
ONE-ARMED MAN
Help me find the three hundred eleven dollars and the thirty-seven cents or I will kill you.
OTIS
I am getting as far away fro Oelwein as I can get before the evil fate I feel looming over Times horizon, comes crashing down on this state of Iowa like a mystic juggernaut.
One-armed man stabs Otis with the bread. Otis dies.
