08x03 - The Aftermath

[bunniefuu]

I'm fine.

KRYSTLE: Oh, Blake.
- It's all right, darling.

- It's all over.
- I still can't believe it.

Well, Matthew is never gonna hurt
us again, never gonna hurt anyone.

Blake. Blake, what
happened in there?

Matthew went insane.
He tried to k*ll us all.

Oh, God.

They told me that he's
dead. Did you k*ll him?

I did.

- Steven, what...?
- I'm all right, Mother.

- Oh, Steven.
- I'm all right.

MAN: Blake.

We still some have reporters
here. How do you wanna handle it?

I'd like to get my family
back to the house.

No reporters. Not just now.

All right. Steven?

We're gonna need a complete
statement for the inquest.

Inquest?

- He just did what he had to do.
- It's all right, Mother.

Whatever you need.

Blake.

Yes?

I'm sure that, uh, the
inquest will be routine.

No charges filed.

I suggest you get your
son some psychiatric help.

I've seen that look before.

It happens to my officers
after a first-time sh**ting too.

It leaves a scar. He's gonna
need some help, Blake.

Okay.

Come on. Let's go home.

Let's go, darling.

[AMBULANCE DOOR CLOSES]

Please, Steven.

Come on, son. Let's go.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[DOOR OPENS]

Steven. I thought
you'd be sleeping.

No.

I, uh...

I know what you're
going through.

It's gonna be all
right, you know.

I k*lled Matthew. I stuck
a Kn*fe right into him.

You had to do what you did
back there, you saved our lives.

Krystle and mine.

I k*lled a man.

Does that make me
some kind of hero, Dad?

[CHUCKLES]

Who knows? Maybe
I'll get a medal for it.

Show it to my son someday.

Here. Give me that shirt.

Give it to me, son.

It's going to be all right.

Damn it, Matthew, why?

- Excuse me, sir.
- Yes?

- May I speak to you for a moment?
- Yes.

I, uh, just wanted you to know

that what you said about
Mrs. Gunnerson and Jeanette,

- our taking time off, - Hmm.

We'd rather not if it's all right
with you and Mrs. Carrington.

Well, yes, but after what
you've been through,

you should get away,
if only for a little while.

We belong here, Mr. Carrington,
with you and the family.

Thank you.

- Good night, sir.
- Good night.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

GERARD: Miss Fallon,
Mr. Jeffrey, welcome home.

FALLON: Hi,
Gerard. JEFF: Gerard.

JEFF: Nice to see you again.
GERARD: Thank you. You too.

- Fallon.
- Daddy.

- Hello, Jeff.
- Blake.

Thank you so much for coming.

What is it? What's wrong?

Haven't you heard what happened?

- No, we haven't.
- No.

Well, come on. I'll tell it
to you over a cup of coffee.

My God, how horrible.

How is Steven taking it?

I'm not sure. I don't think
it's hit him completely yet.

But it's certainly going
to help to have you here.

All right, now tell me, what
brings you two to town?

And where in the world
are my grandchildren?

At home.

Jeff has some business in Denver
and I wanted to see everyone.

Well, you're a welcome
sight indeed, you two.

Just what the family
needs right now.

I'm sure they're all exhausted.

We'll get a chance to see
them in the morning. Fallon?

Um, I'll be right up, Jeff.

- Good night, Blake.
- See you at breakfast.

I can't tell you how good
it is to have you back here.

Even if it only is
for a couple of days.

Oh, Daddy, you've all
been through so much.

Hey, hey, hey, I
told you we're fine.

Now, don't you go
falling apart on me.

Fallon, is there something that
you wanted to talk to me about?

I mean, alone?

No, I just wanted
to be with you.

You are all right, aren't you?

Yes.

- "Business here in Denver"?
- What did you want me to tell him?

Why didn't you tell the truth?

After what happened
here? How could I?

I wasn't about to tell him you
think I'm losing my mind again.

- Oh, come on, Fallon.
- Oh, come on, what?

Have you forgotten your
little sanity test in the desert?

Why? Because I
called you Randall?

Oh, that really made me feel
totally together. Thank you.

Hey, wait a minute.
Let's be honest here.

You weren't exactly
with it when I found you.

A dozen miles away from your car.
Your boots weren't even scratched up.

I can tell you why
my boots weren't dirty.

- That's not what this is all about.
- Oh, isn't it?

I think it is. I know it is.

Okay, fine, I'm listening. Tell
me exactly what happened.

Not with that attitude.

What? What do you want from me?

Nothing, Jeff. Nothing.

I'm tired. Let's just
leave it alone for tonight.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

KRYSTLE: Steven?

Come on in.

You feel like talking?

Sure.

I haven't had a chance
since this afternoon.

What's there to say, really?

Matthew's dead.

I k*lled him.

It's over.

Steven, I'm sorry.

- I feel like this was all my fault.
- No, it wasn't.

But Matthew was only
here because of me.

He loved you. He always did.

He came to take
you away to this place

where supposedly everybody
loves everybody else.

But it was a place that
only existed in his mind.

You can't blame yourself.

The Matthew you knew
never left the jungle.

Whoever that was, he
wasn't the man I remembered.

[SIGHS]

Steven, you were my
first friend in this house.

I care about you very much.

Krystle, don't worry about me.

I think you should talk
to someone about this.

A psychiatrist?

Yes. I think that would
be very good for you.

I appreciate your concern.

But I don't need therapy.

I don't need help. I'm okay.

Excuse me.

- You're Fallon, aren't you?
- Yes.

Well, at last we meet.
And at the cr*ck of dawn.

I'm your cousin
Leslie. Ben's daughter?

Oh, Leslie, of course.

If you're wondering about
this outfit, I was off to work.

I'd love to have a cup of coffee
and talk to you for a minute.

I'm sorry, Leslie. Uh, I'd like that,
but I'm meeting a friend downtown.

We could talk later.

I'll be back this afternoon.

[DOOR OPENS]

And hello to you
too, cousin Fallon.

[DOOR CLOSES]

MAN [ON PA]: We'll be
landing in Los Angeles

in ten minutes, Miss Fallon.

Now, Fallon, you say they
took you aboard the spaceship.

They examined you.

You felt very removed,

as if you were observing
them doing this to you.

It sounds crazy,
doesn't it, Dr. Parris?

Do you think
you're crazy, Fallon?

No, of course not.

But nobody's gonna believe me.

Fallon, people from all walks of
life, many with impeccable credentials,

have sworn to encounters
with extraterrestrials.

But when I tell Jeff, he's
gonna think I've lost my mind.

Are you testing Jeff's trust?

All I know right now is I went
through something so strange,

unlike anything I've known.

I have to let him know
what I went through.

All right, Fallon, if you
feel that strongly about it.

As long as you understand
that what you have to say

would stretch
anybody's credulity.

It won't be easy.

No matter how
much Jeff loves you.

Now, don't get me wrong, Bill,

I'm honored to be
considered as a candidate.

But you know what my family
has been through this past month.

Well, believe me, Blake,
I totally understand.

But the primary is
just around the corner.

Well, maybe the timing
is wrong. I don't know.

Perhaps I ought to
say just a plain "no."

Now, that would be a mistake.

Why? There's no shortage
of qualified candidates.

Or, uh, unqualified candidates.

I happen to know that you
fellows have been talking to Alexis

the past couple of weeks.

That was a different
faction of the party, Blake.

I believe they've
since lost interest.

That little episode in
the river scared them off.

What's that got to do with
anything? It was an accident.

Ha, ha, Blake, it's the
perception. Aggressive media.

There are a lot of reasons
to discount Alexis Colby,

that accident certainly
isn't one of them.

Now, look, we're coming to
you for all the right reasons.

You have a good business sense,
coupled with vision and compassion.

It takes a man whose
success and power

have not diminished his concern
for the people to run this state.

You have all the
qualities, Blake.

All of them.

He certainly knows the right
things to say, doesn't he, Jeff?

Well, I'd have to
say they're all true.

All right, Bill, give me a
day or two to think it over

and I promise you an
answer one way or another.

Come on board, Blake.
Colorado needs you.

- Well, good to meet you, Jeff.
- Nice to meet you, Bill.

Thanks again for lunch, Blake.
And please, think it over carefully.

I will.

Governor of Colorado. It's
a hell of a challenge, Blake.

If the truth be known,

it's been a dream of
mine for quite a while.

But is the timing right?

So my timing was a little off.

But he couldn't have left
that cabin before I got there.

- Where do you think he went?
- I have no idea.

The cabin was empty. There
was nothing personal left.

Look, Mrs. Colby, I'm good,
but I need something to go on.

Well, then find
something, Mr. Hess.

That man saved my life.
I must find out who he is.

Okay. I'll do my best.

This is a tough business. People
don't seem to understand that.

You seem to understand the
amounts on the checks I write to you.

Goodbye, Mr. Hess.

If you're gonna track a
man in the country, lady,

you don't wear big-city perfume.

[CHUCKLES]

I'll remember that.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Come in.

Alexis.

I just ran into Morgan
Hess getting on the elevator.

Don't tell me you still have
that weasel on the payroll.

He's just, uh, handling
a minor matter for me.

What did you want
to see me about?

It's about Steven.

I spoke to him last
night. He seemed fine.

He's not. I can see it,
it's the look in his eyes.

He's, uh, he's
hiding a lot of pain.

Now, I've tried to talk to him,
tried to get him to open up, but...

[SIGHS]

And he won't go to
get professional help.

Professional help?

- Do you really think he needs that?
- Yes, I do.

Now, I've always been able to
talk to Fallon and understand her.

And you? Heh.

You've always been able to
find a way to reach Steven.

Yes. There is a special
bond between us.

So why don't I talk to him?
Maybe he'll confide in me.

Good.

All I ask is that you
listen with an open mind.

And don't say anything
until I've finished.

- Fallon...
- Please, Jeff, it's important to me.

All right. I'm listening.

That night in the desert,
when my car broke down,

I felt very alone,
very frightened.

There was a chill in the
air, but I began to perspire.

And my heart was b*ating
as if I were in a nightmare.

FALLON: I grabbed the car
phone. I tried to call for help.

But the operator
couldn't hear me.

There was static,
getting louder and louder.

And suddenly, my
car lights went out.

[SPACESHIP WHIRRING]

Then the car filled
with a bright light.

I thought, "Oh, someone's
coming to help me."

I got out of the car.

But what I saw coming out of the
sky, I thought, "No, it couldn't be."

But I could see it clearly.
It was a spaceship.

I wanted to run, get away
from it. But I couldn't move.

A panel slid open and
a ramp came down.

And then a figure appeared.

He held out his hand,

and suddenly I was
moving toward it, helplessly.

As if I were being drawn to it.

The closer I got, the
less afraid I became.

I found myself
inside facing him.

But I wasn't afraid then.
I felt somehow elated.

And as we left the Earth, I
was never more at peace.

My God.

Jeff, I told you what happened.
Will you please say something?

I don't know what to say.

I didn't expect to
hear anything like that.

I'm sure you didn't.

Can you remember anything else?

Pieces mostly.

[SIGHS]

I was...

I was examined. With needles.

Uh, a feeling of paralysis.

It terrified me.

I'm trying to stay
with you on this.

But you said you
had a feeling of peace

and then you said
you were terrified.

Which one is it?

- Both.
- Both?

I know how this
must sound to you.

I can't explain it, but it did
happen. You have to believe me.

Jeff, I wanna share this with
you, but it's very painful for me.

I need to know
what you're thinking.

You got lost in the desert.

You started hallucinating
or saw a mirage.

I know what I went through
and I know I wasn't hallucinating.

What does Dr. Parris think?

[SIGHS]

He told me there were
other normal people

who'd experienced something like
this, so he doesn't think I'm crazy.

- If that's what you mean.
- Oh, come on, Fallon.

We're not exactly talking
about a walk in the park here.

I need some time to digest this.

Look, why don't you
get some rest, huh?

Why? Because you think I'm sick?

- Fallon...
- I'm not.

Fallon.

Look, I am... I've gotta go.

I promised Dex that I'd
see him in the hospital.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

SAMMY JO: Steven. They
told me you were up here.

- What's wrong? Is Danny all right?
- Yeah, he's fine.

But some television people
were at the ranch today.

They wanted film on Danny
and me for the : news.

Oh, no, Sammy Jo, I'm sorry.

I'll have some of Dad's people get
out to Delta Rho as soon as possible.

That's not why I'm here, Steven.

I was at the stables when they came
to the door. Danny almost answered it.

He doesn't know what
happened to Matthew Blaisdel,

and it's all over the news.

Shouldn't he hear it from
us? Shouldn't we tell him?

- I should tell him.
- When? Before you leave town?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
for it to sound like that.

I promised myself
I wouldn't do this.

It's all right.

What if Matthew had k*lled you?

I mean, Danny and I,

We need you, Steven.

WOMAN [ON PA]:
Dr. Litchfield, call your office.

Dr. Litchfield,
call your office.

- Oh.
- Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry. Uh, I
didn't hurt you, did I?

No, I'm fine. That's okay.

Here you go. I really am sorry.

It's okay.

Well, it's nice to
have, uh, run into you.

You going to see Dex too?

- "Too"?
- We're old friends.

Ah, I see.

Well, I have some business
to discuss with Mr. Dexter.

Maybe you could come
back in, say, minutes?

- Why can't we go in together?
- It's private business.

Look, since we got
here at the same time,

why don't we flip a coin, the
loser will come back later. Fair?

Fair.

Got a coin?

- There you go.
- Okay.

- Call it.
- No, ladies first.

Oh, that's chauvinistic. But
I'll buy it this time, thank you.

Heads.

- I win. You lose. Bye.
- Excuse me.

- Do you work here?
- Yeah.

Chairman of the
Board of Trustees.

[DEX GROANS]

- Oh, thank God, a friendly face.
- There's another one waiting for you.

- Yeah? Who?
- He didn't say. I didn't ask.

But you are obviously a very
popular guy around these parts.

Right now, a bored
guy is more like it.

Well, then, why don't we go over these
reports. That should perk you up a bit.

Blake wasn't kidding. You
did go right back to work.

Somebody's gotta
watch over the store.

Leslie, it looks like I'm
gonna be laid up for a while.

Unh, I think it would
be a smart move

if I brought somebody in to
replace me as project manager.

Oh, come on. I can handle it.

Nothing personal,
Miss Carrington.

There are areas you're
just not familiar with.

Oh, really? Such as?

Such as? Well, the due dates
to renew the pipe site leases.

Due ten days ago.
Signed and renewed. Here.

The computer report on
shale composition. Here.

The budget breakdown
for the next quarter. Here.

Is there more?

Funny you should ask.

Replacement personnel for
vacationing field men. Here. Impressed?

Not unimpressed.

My pal Dex, always
heavy with the compliments.

One new guy?

Heh, you're gonna
need five to fill in for me.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

You've got the job.

[GASPS]

You won't be sorry.

Hmm, I like it already.

Down, boy, down.

[CHUCKLES]

Steven, please don't
be angry with me.

I just wanna make
sure that you're all right.

- Are you sure now?
- Are you?

Heh, that's what Dad and
Krystle keep asking me.

Steven, I am not Dad and
Krystle. I'm your mother.

Now, what you did
took a lot of courage.

But it also... I think
it also took its toll.

I didn't wanna k*ll him.

I swear to God, I didn't.

Matthew was my friend.

There was a time we could
really talk. I could confide in him.

And he didn't judge me.

Darling, nobody's
judging you now.

Mother, when you're
gay, everyone judges you.

It comes with the territory.
You wanna know something?

When I realized he was
actually gonna k*ll us all,

I didn't stop to
think, I just acted.

I didn't even know
I had stabbed him,

until Dad took the
Kn*fe away from me.

Now let's sit down.

Steven, you had to make
a terribly difficult decision.

But it was the right one.

Now, nobody's going
to condemn you for it.

So please, don't
condemn yourself.

What should I do,
just forget about it?

No. You face it.

How do I do that?

You think I should
see a psychiatrist?

No, you talk to
people. Talk to me.

You're my son, Steven.
And you are a survivor.

Mother, no matter
where I go, or what I do,

or who I talk to, even you,

the fact remains that I k*lled a man
and I have to learn to live with that.

[DOOR OPENS]

MATTHEW: You don't
have what it takes, Steven.

You can't survive, not in
Blake Carrington's world.

You don't have what it takes.

You can't survive, Steven.

You can't survive, not in
Blake Carrington's world.

You can't survive.

Look me in the eye and
tell me I'm wrong, Steven.

You can't survive.

You're wrong, Matthew.

I can survive.

Private thought?

[CHUCKLES]

Many thoughts.

Steven,

this business of running for
governor, the dinner tonight...

Well, I think the dinner
is a wonderful idea.

With Fallon and Jeff back,
and Adam and Dana here,

a family reunion is
just what we all need.

Yes. Steven especially could
use a little family support right now.

What about you?

What do you need to
make your decision?

[SIGHS]

Darling, I'm a lucky man.

I've been blessed
with a full life.

Friends, family.

The love of an
extraordinary woman.

And I almost lost it all.

But you didn't.

We're together and
we always will be.

What if I said to
you, let's run away.

Let's leave Denver and turn
everything over to the kids.

Just take Kristina and
find our private paradise

that we've talked about
so many, many times.

Then I'd leave with you
tonight and we'd be happy.

But...?

What about your dream?

Dreams can affect
a lot of people.

Do you know what a political
campaign can do to us as a family?

Blake, this family's much
stronger than you think.

This campaign can't hurt us.

Do it.

If you want to, just do it.

What are Jeff and Fallon doing
here? Why did they come back now?

Jeff said he had some
business to take care of.

I wonder.

They knew we were on
our honeymoon in Hawaii.

This was their chance to get
close to father without us around.

Heh, I wouldn't be surprised if
their kids are on the next plane.

Sweetheart, you know what?
I think you're overreacting.

- In fact, I know you are.
- Well, maybe.

But I do know one thing,

I'm not sorry we
decided to start a family.

[DANA CHUCKLES]

Yes. This is Dana Carrington.

I wanna get a
message to Dr. Davis.

GERARD: Good evening, Miss Leslie.
- Hi, Gerard.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Mr. Colby.

- You?
- You?

- Leslie?
- Jeff?

- How were things in the boardroom?
- Boring.

[CHUCKLES]

I'll explain it to you after I
change to fit in to the surroundings.

Properly posh, don't you know?

- How did you get past the guards?
- I'm a reporter, it's my job.

Look, the police aren't cooperating
and my boss is screaming.

I have nothing to say. Get out!

Give me a statement. Something.

I'll give you a statement.

I k*lled Matthew Blaisdel.

And under the same
circumstances, I'd do it again.

Don't you ever bother me or my
family. Do I make myself clear?

- Sure, Mr. Carrington.
- Thank you.

Thanks for being here.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SCOFFS]

- Danny asleep?
- Yeah.

What is it, Steven?

I've made some decisions
today and I want you to hear them.

Sit down.

You said this afternoon
that you and Danny need me.

And now I know I need you too.

I'm not running
away, not this time.

I'm taking you up on
your offer, Sammy Jo.

You said you'd live with
me under any conditions.

What are the conditions?

That I move back in here,

but that I move into my
own bedroom, not yours.

If you can't handle
that, please tell me now.

Thank you.

Hello, Dex.

Just put the flowers there.

I must be dying. An
angel, with fruit and flowers.

[CHUCKLES]

I was on my way to Blake's party

and I wanted to drop by
and see how you were doing.

Our past aside, I'm
sorry you were hurt.

Is that sincerity I
hear coming through?

One crass remark
and it won't be.

[SIGHS]

All right. I'll only
say "thank you."

And I'm glad you stopped by.

I'm glad too.

Is it my medication, or are we
actually being civil with each other?

Heh, well, it's about
time, don't you think?

Since we're into this
exchange of kind words,

I could say that
you do look radiant.

Oh, thank you. It
must be the dress.

No, I'm not talking
about the dress.

It's you. You've got that look.

What look?

Oh, come on. You know
damn well what I mean.

The last time you glowed like
that, I provided the electricity.

Heh, your memory
flatters you, Dex.

I know what I know.

What's his name?

Look. Lord, look at the time.
I'm so late for Blake's party.

Gotta go.

Take care of yourself, Dex.

Alexis.

You take care of yourself.

I will.

WOMAN: Yes, yes, fine.

- Martini?
- No, thank you very much.

- Thank you.
- Good evening, Alexis.

- Hello, Blake. Hello, Krystle.
- Hello, Alexis.

It was so nice of you to
invite me to your party.

I wouldn't miss your
pot roast for the world.

Where's Steven?

He's not here and I, uh, I
doubt that he'll make it tonight.

Oh, he'll be here,
Blake. I know he will.

Then we got into this thing
about hospital boardrooms...

I was wearing my work clothes.
I don't think he believed me.

I had the feeling this
is more your style.

Oh, you are so original, ha, ha.

ADAM: How long do
you plan to be here?

It all depends on
Jeff's business.

What's he up to, Fallon? Maybe
I can get in on a good thing.

You always were great at getting in
on a good thing, weren't you, Adam?

Fallon, darling,
you look wonderful.

You sounded a little tense
on the phone this morning.

Oh, I'm fine. Thanks, Mother.

- Good. How are the children?
- Wonderful.

ALEXIS: Steven.
BLAKE: How are you?

- Hi. BLAKE: Sammy Jo.

Son, I'm so glad you're here.

So am I, Dad.

- Hi, Krystle.
- Oh, Steven.

- Hello, Mother.
ALEXIS: Darling, hi.

Fallon, where were
you this morning?

- I missed you. FALLON: Ha, ha.

Oh, it's a long, dull story.
I'll tell you about it later.

- Adam, how was Hawaii?
ADAM: It was the best.

- Thank you, Steven.
- Great.

Thank you.

I would like to propose a toast.

- A toast?
- Oh.

To the Carrington
family. Alive and well.

- Here. Here.
- Cheers.

- To the family. ALL: Cheers.

It's so good to see you.

[ALL CHATTERING]

Mrs. Carrington, a
telephone call for you.

Oh, thank you. I'll
take it out in the hall.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, Mrs. Colby.
Telephone. You can take it over there.

Oh, thank you, Gerard.

- Excuse me, darling.
STEVEN: Of course.

DANA [OVER PHONE]: Dr. Davis?

DAVIS [OVER PHONE]:
Dana, sorry I wasn't available.

I had to do an emergency
caesarean operation.

- What can I do for you?
- Can I come see you tomorrow?

DAVIS: Uh, just a minute.
Let me check my appointments.

Yes, at : . Uh, do you
wanna tell me a little bit about it?

I'd rather not.

DAVIS: Okay. Then I'll
see you at : tomorrow.

Hello, this is Alexis Colby.

Mrs. Colby? It's
Hess. I found him.

You did? Where?

Thank you, Mr. Hess.
That is wonderful news.

Blake, Krystle, I'm
terribly sorry, I've got to go.

An emergency.
Something's come up.

Look, I'm sorry I have
to miss your dinner.

I know you've been
slaving over a hot stove.

- So I'll take a rain check. Bye.
- Bye.

What the devil
was that all about?

I don't know.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Who was on the phone?

Someone from the office.
They heard we were back.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Fallon?

Come join the party.

Jeff, we need to talk more.

For God's sakes, not tonight.

You do think I'm
crazy, don't you?

What am I supposed to think?

You talk about
creatures examining you.

You referred to him. Was
it a man? Describe him.

I... His skin was, I
don't know, leathery.

And there was a
scent of cinnamon.

Cinnamon? I see. Was he baking?

Stop making fun of me.

I'm trying to understand.
You're not making much sense.

Why won't you listen
to me? Really listen?

[ALL CHATTERING]

Lovely ladies, kind gentlemen, I
have an announcement to make.

So if you'll, uh, come
to rigid attention...

If anyone had told me
a couple of days ago

that I'd be standing
here tonight,

surrounded by the people
I love most in this world,

I would not have believed
it. But here we are.

It served as a reminder
how important family is to me.

So because you are so important,

Krystle and I would like you
to share a moment with us.

I have decided to run
for governor of Colorado.

[ALL CHEERING]

- It's wonderful news.
FALLON: Congratulations.

- How do you like that?
KRYSTLE: Isn't that great?

MAN [ON VIDEO]: The third day
of Denver's most-celebrated trial

in the last years,
continued this morning

with the appearance
of a mystery witness

subpoenaed by the
assistant district attorney.

Hey, what the hell is going
on? Come on, roll the film.

[DOOR OPENS]

All right, what's the gag?

Now, what is going on here?

Do you wanna tell
me what you're doing?

What's this all about?

Hey, pal. Hey, you.
Hey. I'm talking to you.

Champagne and popcorn.

The perfect appetizer,
don't you think?
