:27:03
Sorry.
:27:06
Here's the.... Here's that description.
:27:09
Of course, killing an animal
isn't like killing a man.
:27:12
I'm not even sure it's a crime,
come to think.
:27:15
Come on, it's gotta be.
What about animal cruelty?
:27:17
What about destruction
of private property? What about--?
:27:20
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe.
:27:22
Okay.
:27:24
First thing I'm going to need
is a description.
:27:30
Tell me the truth. Did you steal it?
:27:32
What? No!
:27:34
Kind of an amazing coincidence,
don't you think?
:27:37
The stories being so much alike?
:27:39
Obviously he copied me. Would you
like to choose a side before we go on?
:27:43
I'm on your side.
But I still need to know the truth.
:27:45
Which kind of situation is this?
:27:47
Is he a regular wacko like you've had
before, in which case I can help...
:27:51
...or something you should talk
to your lawyer about?
:27:54
No, this guy is just simply
out of his mind. That's all it is.
:27:58
Fine. Okay.
:28:00
What do you want me to do?
:28:02
I want you to help me
in the same way that--
:28:06
In the same way that you did before.
:28:11
He wasn't this crazy.
:28:12
That guy was just
an obsessed reader...
:28:15
...who couldn't tell real life from
the crap you make up for a living.
:28:18
No offense.
:28:20
Now, this Shooter guy,
he threaten your life?
:28:23
-He put a screwdriver through my dog.
-Well, he did break a law...
:28:26
...but it doesn't seem to be a
very important law in Tashmore Lake.
:28:30
The sheriff must be a cat person.
:28:32
Yeah, well, I don't exactly feel safe...
:28:35
...with a 70-year-old arthritic sheriff
watching my back.
:28:38
Are you gonna help me or not?
:28:40
Let's see...
:28:42
...I got a corporate loyalty thing
I got to be back for on Friday...
:28:46
...but I can give you
a couple of days.
:28:48
Okay.
:28:50
My story came out a couple years...
:28:54
...before he says he wrote his.
:28:57
I've got a copy of the original
at Amy's house.
