William C. Tate: Howard Blackwood

Quotes 

• [Murphy comes upon the Devil's Pitstop, a dilapidated B&B and diner with an old truck parked out front] 

  Murphy : Well, look at that... an old '52. Flathead V8, no doubt about it.

  [Murphy prepares to break into the truck when a mailman approaches] 

  Howard : Wicked old beast, ain't she?

  Murphy : What?

  Howard : I said she's a wicked old beast. Me, I'm partial to something with a little less rust, but to each his own.

  Murphy : Look, I don't want any trouble. Just point the way out of town and I'll keep right on going.

  Howard : Now who said anything about trouble? Just trying to be helpful, son.

  [extends his hand] 

  Howard : Name's Howard, by the way.

  Murphy : Murphy.

  Howard : Heading to prison, are you, Murphy?

  Murphy : Just looking for a way out of town, that's all.

  Howard : That so? 'fraid all the roads are out. Every last one of them. Strangest thing.

  [Murphy looks up and sees a mutilated figure in a wheelchair in the hotel's second floor window] 

  Murphy : What the - ?

  Howard : Something wrong, son?

  Murphy : Did you see it? Up there in the window.

  [the window is now boarded up] 

  Murphy : Never mind.

  Howard : I suppose if you're really desperate, you could try the old sky tram. Course, it hasn't really been kept up since the accident.

  Murphy : I'll take my chances.

  Howard : That's the spirit. Well, this mail ain't gonna deliver itself. Good luck, Murphy. Hope you find whatever it is you're looking for.

  [walks off into the fog] 

• [Murphy opens a door and finds Howard waiting on the other side] 

  Murphy : Jesus! You scared the hell out of me.

  Howard : Definitely not what I intended. Still in town, I see.

  Murphy : Just haven't found a way out yet.

  Howard : If I had a nickel for every time I heard that...

  Murphy : Yeah, then what?

  Howard : Well, let's just say I could finally put this damn bag down, for starters.

  Murphy : Man, cut the bullshit. What is this place?

  Howard : Can't say I understand the question. This is a busy town. Do you think these letters deliver themselves?

  Murphy : Whatever. Can you at least tell me where the radio station is? Someone's been calling in, making these dedications to me.

  Howard : Oh sure, that'd be the tall building in the center of town. Big ol' monster of a clock at the top. Shouldn't be hard to find. By the way, I ran into that lady friend of yours. What in the world did you do to get that young woman so riled up, anyway? She was fit to be tied.

  Murphy : Tell you the truth, I got no idea.

  Howard : Son, in my experience, when someone's that angry, it ain't a mistake... it's personal.
