Cool World

Holli Would:
Pencil dick.

Frank Harris:
You think she's got a thing for you, don't you? That's cute... but don't flatter yourself. That one... she's a waste of ink.

Frank Harris:
Noids do not have sex with doodles. It's the oldest law in Cool World. I've never had to enforce it. You cross that line I'll slap you around and make you piss like a puppy. Jack, you think she got a thing for you, don't you? That's sweet. But don't flatter yourself. She's a waste of ink. Truth is she's been after me and every other noid who's come through here. It's just that no one's been insane enough to get involved with her. You keep your pencil in your pocket. Know what I mean?

Frank Harris:
You're a wacka-do.

Jack Deebs:
I'm a cartoonist. I drew all this. I have visions. I translate this.

Frank Harris:
You do nothing, man. This place exists with or without you. You believe me, right? I'm not one of your creations.

Jack Deebs:
Right. You're not pretty enough.

Frank Harris:
Good one. Have a seat.

Frank Harris:
You screwed us all... for a piece of ass?

Holli Would:
I guess you can't think and drive at the same time, huh?

Frank Harris:
A little late for a lady to be out on the streets, don't you think? I've got a couple of questions for you, miss.

Lonette:
Oh, come on, officer. Let it slide, would you? I'm tired.

Frank Harris:
Word is you have a thing for noids.

Lonette:
Yeah, I've got a thing for noids, but what's it to you, tough guy?

Frank Harris:
Baby, you don't know how tough it is.

Lonette:
You're late.

Frank Harris:
Ah, you're killing me. Why are you so beautiful?

Frank Harris:
Hey, sexy.

Lonette:
It's the man with the badge.

Frank Harris:
In the flesh.

Lonette:
Don't remind me.

Frank Harris:
How can I help it? What are you doing to me? You're messing me up.

Lonette:
Oh, honey, you're tense. It's Holli again, isn't it?

Frank Harris:
Yeah, Miss Holli Would-if-she-could. That dame. You heard anything?

Lonette:
Now you know I don't listen to that sleazy cow.

Frank Harris:
Don't. Just don't.

Lonette:
But why?

Frank Harris:
Because we can never finish it, Lonette. It's frustrating. I'm like a plug without a socket, you know?

Frank Harris:
Baby, you and me, I can't have that in the real world. I can't live without you. But I can't be with you. What do you do, huh? What do you do?

Lonette:
Well, we're just going to have to pretend, then, aren't we?

Holli Would:
You want to know what it is about you that really kicks my ass, Harris?

Frank Harris:
How about my foot?

Frank Harris:
When your partner gets inked, you do something about it. He was your partner, so you do something.

Lonette:
Well, I'm not buying it.

Frank Harris:
How about a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Lonette:
Can't you use think about me for a minute, Frank? I mean, where does this leave me?

Frank Harris:
What are you mad about?

Lonette:
I'm mad because you talk about crossing and you don't even care how it makes me feel!

Frank Harris:
I don't even care? How do you feel?

Lonette:
Left out!

Frank Harris:
You think I want to go back there? You think I want to go back?

Lonette:
Now why wouldn't you want to go back? That's real to you, isn't it?

Frank Harris:
Let me tell you something about over there. It hurts over there. It's lonely over there. It's a war over there. They got 8 million ways for you to die on and they're all permanent. This is real for me, this with you. If I want to stay with you, I gotta go back.

Nails:
Halt! Halt, in the name of the law! Halt, I say!

Holli Would:
[now human, proudly smiling] Well, howdy, Nails. As you see, there have been some changes around here.

Nails:
You are a bio-morphic menace! I forbid you to take one step out of the Cool World.

Holli Would:
You eight-armed ink spot. Who do you think you're dealing with? I'm real.

Nails:
You made it with a noid, you don't know what you are! Mark my words, girlie-pie! You leave here and it is trouble for you too!

Holli Would:
I'm leaving, pencil-dick. You just try and stop me!

Nails:
No! Don't do it! Don't do it, girl!

Lonette:
So did you do it while you were back there in the real world? Did you do it while you were real? Do you ever think about going back there so you can?

Frank Harris:
There's no reason now.

Lonette:
Well, then, we're just going to have to stop pretending now, aren't we?

[Lonette sees Frank dead. She starts crying]

Nails:
[off-screen] He didn't make it. I'm sorry.

Lonette:
Oh, Frank, honey! No, please! Oh, no, please, you can't leave me! [she keeps crying] Who killed him, Nails?

Nails:
He was pushed off a building.

Lonette:
[off-screen] Who pushed him?

Nails:
Holli Would.

Lonette:
[on-screen stops crying] Holli Would? That b*tch! [she keeps crying] Nails, was she a doodle when she aced him?

Nails:
Yeah! So WHAT?!

Lonette:
So what? [off-screen] Oh! So what? Well, what happens to noids who traffic in the Cool World, Nails, when they get killed by a doodle? They become a doodle themselves.

Frank Harris:
You've had enough of me? You've had enough of me, you piece of sh*t? You screwed us all for a piece of ass? And you've had enough of me? Where is she? It's the oldest law in Cool World. I've never had to enforce it. You cross that line, I'll slap you around and make you piss like a puppy.

Frank Harris:
Noids do not have sex with doodles. Right? Noids do not have sex with doodles!!

Frank Harris:
You do nothing, man. This place exists with or without you. You believe me, right? I'm not one of your creations.

Frank Harris:
Let me tell you something about over there. It hurts over there. It's lonely over there. It's a war over there. They got 8 million ways for you to die on and they're all permanent. This is real for me, this with you. If I want to stay with you, I gotta go back.

Frank Harris:
You know, sweetheart, you look good in flesh. It's almost a shame I gotta take you back. You are going back, you know?

Holli Would:
Don't you get it? They're real. When they touch someone, they feel it. When they taste something, they REALLY taste it. And when they are... With a man! Woo!

Holli Would:
Be nice.

Holli Would:
Well, howdy, Nails. As you see, there have been some changes around here. [Nails: You made out with a noid, you don't know what you are! Mark my words, girlie-pie! You leave here and it is trouble for you!] I'm leaving, pencil-dick! You just try and stop me!

Holli Would:
I know that movie by heart. The girl gets everything by the end of it everything she every wanted.

Holli Would:
Can't let the neighbors push us around can.

Holli Would:
I'm made of ink, but I'm no dream.
