John : Uh , George ... You say the demon went into hiding , but ... According to the sequel books , the Horror didn't go into hiding ; it followed you .
George : Well ... That's the same as going into hiding .
John : Is it ?
George : Yes .
John : Even though you were being thoroughly scrutinized by the media ?
George : Well ... We didn't go public with our continuing ordeal until several years after it finally stopped . So , the Horror would have had ample time to - in between the first book and the subsequent books - hide itself from the general public , but continue to torment us .
John : But it was finally defeated ?
George : Yes .
John : Then it apparently wasn't a very powerful demon , if it failed so miserably in ruining your lives .
George : On the contrary , John , it succeeded miserably in ruining our lives .
John : But it didn't kill you .
George : I ... I'm not sure if that was ever even its intention .
John : It just wanted to ... mess with you ?
George : Sure .
John : ... Is that a yes or a no ?
George : A yes .
John : ... Or a no ?
George : A yes .
John : Well , that was a rather ... hesitantly forthright answer ... *sigh* ... About the , uh ... About the book , and the movie , uuh ... Well , first of all , about the book ... I was skimming through it several hours ago - that is , the original book , and ... *sigh* ... George , I'm shocked at you .
George : ...
John : Now , this shock could either be from the fact that you really are a disgusting , unmannered ogre , or ... From the fact that you let Jay Anson portray you as a disgusting unmannered ogre , and did nothing to stop it .
George : How do you mean ?
John : Well , let me quote a passage of the book here ... Alright , this is a scene where you're at the local tavern , drinking beer and talking to the bartender , and I quote : " George took a long sip , half emptying the tall stein before putting it down on the dark wood bar . 'Tell me something ' , George belched . ' Did you know the Defeos ? ' "
George : ...
John : That was a direct quote .
George : Well ...
John : A direct quote .
George : It's not my fault . I believe in paraphrasing .
John : You belched ?
George : Yeah .
John : You belch , George ! Like a little boy in a school cafeteria ! How'd you even say those three words in one belch ??!!
George : I ... I can't remember , it was a long time ago .
John : And then ... ! And then , George , in the very next chapter ... ! Should I even go on ?!
George : Honestly , I don't remember how ...
John : In the next chapter you smell a stench in the basement and VOMIT all over your clothes and the FLOOR!!!
George : It was a ... A bad stench , John .
John : An' who cleaned up the **** mess ?!!
George : I ... I believe I did .
John : My point EXACTLY !! Ya let the **** wench rule over ya , makin' y' clean up the slightest li'l' spill , complaining about your haphazard appearance , rulin' over y' as'f 112 Ocean Avenue were an ANT COLONY , she was the QUEEN , 'n' you were a DRONE !!!
George : ...
John : *cough* *cough* Mmhmm ...
George : ... I appreciate the sentiment , John , but ... I wasn't exactly the ideal husband , either .
John : I know , George ... I know ...
George : ... And we both beat the children .
John : ...
George : ...
John : ... ... Oh yeah , I think I read something about that in the book .
