it's the point when you realise that the chin slamming lip synching bell ringing accountancy master wearing a ragged pinstripe suit has made it into the Guinness book of Record before you

a. "damn my german past"

b. Said they slept
through the whole thing.

Didn't hear or see anything.

Didn't hear anything.

The lab boys tell me
that somebody chased Parkette...
through the house
with a power lawnmower
I would have thought that
would have made some racket.

Crazy with the heat.

Schiz-o-darn-phrenia...
all over town last night.

What else happened last night?

Well, somebody torched
poor old Father McKeen...
with a flame-thrower
or something.

Must have been a Satan cult
or something.

Either that or that weird human
spontaneous combustion thing.

That really happens sometimes.

Hell of a thing.

That's not all.

Marnie Burke was found
wandering around stark naked...
laughing her ass off,
flipped out.

The psychiatrist figured
she'd probably witnessed...
one of the murders,
and she's just in shock...

but I've seen people
flipped out before...
and this girl
is flipped out for good.

I don't believe
she'll ever stop laughing.

Two bizarre murders
in one night.

This world is chock-full
of nuts, Cooley.

Don't forget that.
Weirdos, schizos, bozos.

Well, accidents happen.
That's all there is to it.

Two bizarre accidents
in one night.

Accidents?

You were just
calling them murders.

We'll just
file a routine report.

Just clean and tidy.
