“Wait, wait! The guy on the boat was the bad guy. The guy being interrogated was just telling the story—”

“No, the guy being questioned was the bad guy—he got the whole thing off the bulletin board in the back.”

“I didn’t get that. I figured he was dead the whole time, like that psychiatrist, and that was kinda the point-of-view.”

“That’s stupid. No, it’s a big reversal. Like the mom really being the guy in drag and his mom is dead in the basement. And anyway, anyone who’s paying attention and has seen an episode of Twilight Zone knows the psychiatrist got killed by the burglar during the first five minutes. “

“Guy in drag… you mean the girlfriend has a penis?”

“No. Different story.”

“I should make a movie.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. See, aliens invade, and nobody can stop them, but then they all die from the common cold because they’re not immune.”

“And the bad guy can be the hero’s dad.”

“You like it?”

“Sure, but the book was better.”

“Huh?”

“It’s been done.”

“Oh. Darn.”
