Darn it all, what does it take???
Indulge me please...
It's a dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets, but high above the mean streets, a light burns on the 12th floor of the Acme Building, where Guy Noir--hard boiled, world-weary, yet surprisingly articulate--is trying to find the answers to life's questions. In his big swivel chair under the bare bulb beside the beat-up gray file cabinet, he awaits the call of his clientele: the disappointed, the paranoid, the embittered, the rejected. But instead of a paying customer, what does he get? A knock on the door from Pete, who has shot and killed Guy on many occasions in the past, and yet the two of them are still friends. What can a guy do? If you're Guy Noir, you get up and open the door. Life is no picnic, pal, and friendship so often leads to violence, but you can't walk away from these things....

I'm desparate. No offense, Garrison; I love your work.
