309. WHO GETS KILLED ?REBECCA AND GLEN SIT AT THE BAR.REBECCA:I could be a murderer. You could be having a drinkwith a murderer. A murderess. I could kill people.That could be my job. I could do it for a living. I'dhave sex with them first though. Then afterwards,while they were lying there, panting, I could pull aknife out and drive it into their heart. Or I could killthem while we were doing it. Slice their throat atthe point of orgasm, like in the movies. I couldhave bodies all over my house. I could have heads inmy cupboard, hands in my fridge, little toes in thebread basket. My dress could be made of real humanhair. My last prey's long black curls twined intofabric. I could have bits of my victims in jars on mybookshelf. A kidney, a liver, an eye. It could followyou as you walk around my bedroom, never knowingthat you are in the same room as a killer, neverknowing that this sweet face hides a mask of terror.This drink could be blood. I could have gone into thebathroom and poured it into my glass from a tinysilver flask inscribed with my initials. I could besitting here sipping red and white blood cells. I couldhave a knife. I could have a gun. I could have an icepick. I could be about to slit you open. I could beabout to cut you up and put you in the blender. Icould be insane. And you wouldn't know ? You'd justbuy me another drink, chat me up and hope to score. Are you scared?PAUSE.GLEN:I am a murderer. I have killed four people. I just got out of jail. I have beenin for ten years. This time.GLEN LAUGHS. REBECCA BEGINS TO LAUGH ALSO. GLEN STOPS.GLEN:I am insane. I am a killer. If you come home with me I will probably killyou. I will fuck you first.
