Snake Harming

Sofie lights a lamp in her trailer, and looks at her icky blistered hands. Then she turns and sees the tarot cards on the table. The soundtrack goes briefly crazy so that the audience looks up from its knitting. Sofie says, "What do you want?," and the cards suddenly flutter up and all over the floor. Sofie looks down and starts to cry softly.

Brother Justin and Balthus are inside Casa de Creepy now, sitting at a table. Celeste is sitting on the floor, unpacking plates, while Justin enjoys a cool glass of milk. Justin watches Celeste work, and then deliberately tips his glass over so that the last bit of milk splashes onto the table and floor. She hears the noise and hurries over to wipe up the mess. Justin helpfully points out that she missed a spot on the floor, and she kneels down and begins to wipe off his shoe. I am recapping someone cleaning up spilled milk. Sigh. Anyway, she cleans the shoe until Justin reaches down, puts his hands on her head, and kisses her. Justin says, "You look as if you're about to pray. Your mother taught you how to pray, didn't she?" Justin leans back in his chair as Celeste wordlessly drops out of camera range, and it seems that she's into phallic worship. I guess they weren't kidding about bringing back that old-time religion. Justin smiles and says, "Oh, my dear Celeste, I will show you things. Wonderful, terrible things..." And then he gets a little distracted from his train of thought. He glances over at Balthus, who's probably thinking he could use a little prayer himself.

Jason Lee is just about done digging a nice big hole. Ben lies tied up nearby, panting. Jason Lee kicks Ben into the hole, and starts to bury him. Well, if you want to be a fertility god, this is what you've gotta put up with.
