Peace

Phoenix: The didn’t last too long

Diablo: Long enough. You creep me out when you get “possessed.”

Phoenix: Understandable. Friends, again?

Diablo: Friends, again. Now come over here and clean the back of my head.

Phoenix: Get out of my face.

Diablo: You stay away from me.

Phoenix: I ain't kiddin'.

Diablo: Nor am I, you fur ball.

Night Prowl

Phoenix: This place looks like a hostel. Who are these people sleeping everywhere?

Diablo: Peace Corps people. I smell an opened bag of Doritos. I think it is sittin' on the floor right next to the guy sleeping on the couch.

Phoenix: I dare you to get it.

Diablo: I can taste that orange powdery coating – kind of salty. The crunchy chip. Ohhh, I could eat the whole bag.

Phoenix: No doubt. However, I don’t think he is going to let you have any.

Diablo: He is snoring. He’ll never know. If I tip-toe over and ever so carefully stick my nose in the bag…

Phoenix: ...So, he’s not a very heavy sleeper.

Diablo: Guess not. What if I…

Phoenix: It’s going to be a long night for this poor guy.

How in the hell....

Diablo: Did you turn the air-conditioning on the other day?

Phoenix: No comment.

Diablo: She sure didn't leave the condo all day and turn it on for us.

Phoenix: No comment.

Diablo: How did you do it?

Phoenix: No comment.

Diablo: Yeah, well...she sure knows you're the one who left the dead gecko tail in the middle of the floor.

Phoenix: No comment.

Need Insurance?

Diablo: Look. Look. It is one of those things I seen on TV.

Phoenix: What?

Diablo: There. Under the chair. It's a GEICO

Phoenix: A what?

Diablo: You know that green funny talking thing on TV. Sometimes licks its eyeball.

Phoenix: A gecko.

Diablo: That’s what I said. But this one is brown.

Phoenix: It didn’t have a British accent, did it?

Diablo: Never said a word.

Phoenix: What did it taste like?

Diablo: Chicken, of course. Not much meat, however.

SnAP!

Phoenix: It was huge.

Diablo: Such a waste. We could have had hours of fun chasing that mouse around the condo.

Phoenix: No, I meant the mousetrap. When that metal bar hit the vertebrae I thought it would snap in two. Bloody guts everywhere.

Diablo: Scary.

Alligator

Diablo: What do you think it is?

Phoenix: Could be a rat. They can live in the walls, crawl around the plumbing, emerge under the bathtub, come out of the vents.

Diablo: Could be a mouse.

Phoenix: Nope. It's making too much noise.

Diablo: A raccoon?

Phoenix: Too big to fit behind the wall.

Diablo: A squirrel?

Phoenix: That’s possible. If I could get through that vent…

Diablo: We are lucky she left the door open so we sit in the closet for hours and listen to whatever it is.

Phoenix: I’ve been up all night listening to it scurry around under the tub. I’m going to take a nap. You stand watch.

Diablo: You know…it could be a Gila Monster. I heard they have 'em in Florida.

Phoenix: You mean alligator?

Diablo: Yeah, that too.
