"I mean, she used to call him "greaseball,"" "And he hated emo." "this whole thing is just weird." "Mia, people are gonna expect you to be there." "Do you want people to start treating you normally again?" "yes." "Then we're going to the memorial," "And i'm borrowing your black wrap dress." "He's got the whole council in his pocket." "he's got you in his pocket, for heaven's sake." "Oh, i assure you, pastor dunn, i am in no one's pocket." "He owns the paper that you work for." "And if he tried to censor so much as one word of my story," "I would quit on the spot." "Now this morning you said that you knew the truth" "About darryl van horne." "Oh, indeed i do." "I'm listening." "Darryl van horne is evil." "I was hoping for something a little more... concrete." "He chills me to the bone." "well, i can't exactly print that."

"And as you and your friends get publicly intoxicated and dance" "In fountains with mr. van horne," "Each and every one of the values" "That we hold sacred and precious in this town" "They are eroded by your behavior." "I think this interview's over." "He's here to destroy us, to ruin us," "To breed death and debauchery!" "He must be stopped!" "(both gasping)" "Wow. four times, and i haven't even made dinner yet." "Have i told you lately that you're amazing?" "no. tell me again." "You're amazing." "You're not so bad yourself." "mmm." "(gasps)" "Hey, roxie." "Well, if it isn't eastwick's answer to lois lane." "To what do i owe this unbridled pleasure?" "Well, you keep avoiding our interview," "So i thought i'd take matters into my own hands," "Get a little proactive." "I believe that's called an ambush." "it's just a few little questions." "I promise i'll be gentle." "okay." "But first, i'm thinking of using this one..." "For the light lager" "And this one for our dark beers." "Do you think people will get the joke?" "What about the injunction?" "Oh, i'm--a minor roadblock." "i'm not worried." "If i were you, i'd be a little bit worried."

"Would you please go get cleaned up?" "'cause i'm taking you to dinner" "I'm talking, like, tablecloths and everything." "Wow, like a real, live date." "mm-hmm. mm-hmm." "Mmm." "mmm." "Come on, girl, let's go." "That's weird." "We should ride to work together more often, baby." "(chuckles) why, 'cause that's what couples do?" "oh, it's what environmentally aware people do." "Carpooling is very hip, very now and very green." "(chuckles)" "Oh, isn'that adorable?" "I'll see you later." "text me if you get a break." "He wants you to text him." "o.m.g." "Shut up." "or is it a sexting thing?" "I understand that's very big with children nowadays." "(singsong voice) i'm not doing this with you." "Not while you're doing it with him. i couldn't keep up." "(normal voice) you got that right." "Then again..." "oh, here we go. you're the world's greatest lover." "You could take me to places i've never been before." "Blah, blah, blah."

"Gus was behind you until you turned around." "You mean gus the" "Yes, gus the dead guy." "he keeps... appearing." "Well, makes a certain amount of sense, i suppose." "no, it really doesn't." "It's actually kind of weird and crazy." "You believe a lot of weird and crazy things." "I don't believe in ghosts." "why do you think you keep seeing one?" "I don't know. psychotic break?" "acid flashback?" "Early alzheimer's?" "There are more things in heaven and earth, roxie," "Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." "Okay, let's say it's not an acid flashback." "Let's say he's--for lack of a better word--real." "What the hell am i supposed to do with that?" "seek him out." "Ask him what he wants." "If you can figure out why he's here," "You can probably figure out how to make him leave." "would that same logic apply to you?" "(laughs) you already know what i want, roxie." "And when i get it, you'll never ask me to leave." ""you don't want to know"?" "that's what he said?" "I know. who says that?" "i mean, you tell somebody" "They don't want to know something," "It only makes them want to know more." "So i took this." "Ooh!" "a van horne venturess them notepad?" "score. know more." "Hurtful. here's a little trick that i learned" "From a friend of mine named nancy drew." "42 longwood road." "Hmm. i think that's in southwick." "Why would he be going to southwick?" "I don't know, but he said he was gonna be there at 8:00, and guess what?" "so are we." "sweet!" "i have always wanted to go on a stakeout," "Ever since i was a little girl, and i saw a movie..." "Well, "stakeout."" "We can call it "operation estevez."" "You know, because emilio estevez was in--in-- oh, no. i get it." "I think i may even have a ski mask" "Around here somewhere." "oh!" "i know." "Hmm?" "(chuckles) wow." "Stalk much?" "Uh, yeah, those are my will pictures." "I kind of, um, got into ts habit." "Every day when we were at work we'd be talking," "And--and i'd pretend to check my phone," "And i would just, like, snap a picture of him." "It started out really innocent, and i swore that i would stop." "But then he'd come in looking so cute," "And i'd say, well, i don't have a picture of him" "In that outfit yet, and, well, there you have it." "you're just like emilio estevez in "st. elmo's fire"" "When he takes all those ally sheedy pictures." "no, that was andrew mccarthy." "Emilio stalked andie macdowell." "Huh. you know that he's totally into you, right?" "No, he--he only thinks that he is." "Okay, that doesn't make any sense." "I tricked him into thinking he likes me." "I take it back." "you're le mare winningham" "In "st. elmo's fire," choosing to be lonely instead of happy." "We should totally rent that after our stakeout." "Oh, totally." "(sighs)" "I call upon the spirit of gus lowicki." "I call upon the spirit of gus lowicki." "I call upon the spirit of gus lowicki." "I call upon the spirit of gus lowicki!" "Where you at, gus?"

"I'm going on a stakeout," "And i need something, like, boris and natasha." "Ah, yes. russian spy special." "Got it." "Hot." "What were you doing just now?" "just taking my temperature." "You need instructions to take your temperature?" "You do if you're not really taking your temperature but actually trying to summon a ghost." "oh, what?" "I'm trying to summon the ghost of gus so i can ask him" "What he wants. i got these ghost-summoning tips off" "The internet. if the temperature in this room suddenly changes," "That's how you're supposed to know he's here." "Now would you like to drive me" "To the mental institution yourself, or should i" "Take my own car?" "you know what i think you should do, rox?" "You should ask yourself what gus represents," "Seeing as how he is a figment of your own imagination" "And exists entirely within your head." "or you could visit this medium" "That i profiled for the paper last year" "Madame aleksandra." "she seemed pretty competent." "ooh, good idea." "Okay, do you guys think that this will fit me?" "Maybe, if you stuff a bunch of toilet paper in the bra." "Hey, that is--that is accurate." "okay, i will try that. thanks." "Okay." "What do you think of this" "For a night of snooping and spying?" "Who are you spying on?" "Uh... darryl?" "Why?" "It's for a story that i'm working on," "But i haven't really figured it all out." "I just think he's up to no good." "oh, i could have told you that."

"If we were in college, a little indigo girls on my ipod," "You wouldn't stand a chance." "Really?" "you don't think it's too much?" "No, honey, it's just enough." "Oh, god. i don't know why i-i'm so embarrassed." "I-i guess i just can't remember the last time i got" "All dressed up for raymond." "yeah, well," "Probably the last ti he was sober enough to notice." "roxie." "Sorry." "no, itrobably true." "We both stopped making an effort a long time ago." "Oh, speaking of which, i have to go." "Ray is expecting me." "okay, but first, ladies, please raise your glasses." "I'd like to propose a toast." "(clears throat)" "To a successful evening for each of us." "May i put my ghost to bed," "May you put your story to bed, and may raymond put you to bed." "(chuckles) cheers." "Cheers." "meow." "I'm catwoman." "(kat chuckles) hey, do you remember," "Oh, was it junior year," "That we snuck out and came to this pool?" "You know, most guys don't just forget" "About the time they had sex in a public pool."

"So you wished gus would die, and he did." "And..." "And i'm not sorry." "good." "How is that good?" "i should feel sorry, but i don't," "And that's why he's haunting me," "And that's why i'll never have peace for the rest of my life," "Because i don't deserve peace, because i'm an awful person."
