1.)
(Jack holds the car door for Karl, who is getting in on the passenger side.)
KARL: Hey.
Sorry you
had to--
2.)
(Jack's CatCat t-shirt is within, crumpled into a pile.)
KARL: Wow, how’d you
get one of these?
They’re all sold out.
3.)
(Jack tosses it in the back seat. Karl doesn't look overly suspicious... yet!)
JACK: Huh? I’ve had
that for a while.
Pretty comfy
I guess.
4.)
(Outside the car, we see police cars jamming up a street.)
JACK: Ah, the riot.
Better not go
this way.
KARL: A riot?!
Why?
JACK: Because it’d be hard
to drive through, duh.
5.)
(Inside the car, Jack asks a question and Karl looks enthusiastic.)
JACK: So where to?
KARL: Oh! One of my
favorite places.
6.)
(At a fancy oriental noodle place, Jack contemplated the bowl of not-blood and Karl notes his hesitance.)
KARL: What’s wrong?
Don’t like it?
JACK: Too many noodles?
KARL: You used to
love this stuff.
It’s good!
Just try it.
7.)
(Jack looks slightly disturbed and Karl annoyed.)
JACK: Been a long time
since I ate...
this stuff.
KARL: C’mon, won’t
kill you to
try it.
JACK: Ehh...
I guess
so.
8.)
(Karl is looking oblivious while Jack has a hand over his own mouth.)
KARL: Soo I guess we could
go to the bar next?
I thought we’d spend
more time--
9.)
(Karl has finally taken notice of Jack, who looks very ill.)
KARL: Are you
Okay?
10.)
(In the hall to Karl's apartment, Karl is working the key while Jack clutches himself in an effort not to hurl.)
KARL: Must’ve been
the rare meat--
JACK: Don’t even
-glk-- talk
about it!
11.)
(Karl doesn't look like he's taking this seriously enough and Jack looks panicked.)
KARL: Oh. Uh.
Just one
moment.
12.)
(Karl is moving armloads of dirty laundry around. Jack speaks from off-panel.)
KARL: I just didn’t expect
to have a guest, hah!
It’s uh, it’s a little messy!
JACK: Whatever!
Just hurry!
13.)
(Karl holds the door while Jack is gripping the frame, looking desperate, ill, and angry.)
KARL: It’s more sanitary
than it looks. I swear.
JACK: Can I come in?
KARL: I’m holding the
door open.
JACK: Well can I
or not?!
KARL: Sheesh,
come in
already!
14.)
(Karl embraces his cat while offscreen Jack is making noise. Karl looks sensitive, the cat impassive and ready to make a mess.)
BARFIN JACK: BLLEEHH
KARL: Well Molly, this could
be going worse, huh?
MOLLY: *BLRK*
