CAL MACDONALD (NARRATING): I
heard the client coming about
00:00:19
two minutes before
I saw his broad
00:00:21
silhouette at my door window.
00:00:23
His footsteps were like cinder
blocks dropped on wet carpet.
00:00:26
I knew he was trouble.
00:00:28
I could feel a rush like
a limp tingle over my
00:00:30
alcohol-deprived dehydrated
brain.
00:00:33
But I didn't get up
and lock the door.
00:00:35
No, I just sat there like a
braindead lump and watched his
00:00:39
colossal frame eclipse
the door.
00:00:41
He didn't come inside, though.
00:00:43
He just stood out there, a
disturbingly large shape
00:00:46
behind a painted square
of fogged glass.
00:00:52
[TAPPING ON GLASS]
00:00:53
CAL MCDONALD: Come in.
00:00:55
I could have written
my autobiography
00:00:57
in the gap of silence.
00:00:59
Turn the knob and push.
00:01:02
THE MONSTER: Are you
Cal McDonald?
00:01:05
CAL MCDONALD: Unless I died of
old age waiting for you to
00:01:07
come in, yeah, I'm Cal.
00:01:09
What can I do for you?
00:01:11
THE MONSTER: I have been running
for nearly 200 years.
00:01:16
I no longer wish to flee.
00:01:19
CAL MCDONALD: 200 years, huh?
00:01:20
That's quite a marathon.
00:01:22
THE MONSTER: You do not
believe what I say.
00:01:25
CAL MCDONALD: Not a word.
00:01:26
That doesn't mean I
can't help you.
00:01:29
I'm just going to need
more info than that.
00:01:31
THE MONSTER: There have been
times in my life when people
00:01:34
called me The Monster.
00:01:36
CAL MCDONALD: That's
too of us, pal.
00:01:38
Gonna need more than that
if I'm going to help.
00:01:42
THE MONSTER: Ms. Shelley
took two events and
00:01:44
spun them into a tale.
00:01:45
But I stand before you, proof
it is borne of truth.
00:01:49
CAL MACDONALD (NARRATING):
Another crackpot, another
00:01:51
joker who though wasting
my time was fun.
00:01:54
I thought about grabbing
my shotgun,
00:01:56
putting one in his foot.
00:01:58
CAL MCDONALD: I'm sorry,
but it's a
00:02:00
little tough to swallow.
00:02:01
"Frankenstein" is a pretty well
known piece of fiction.
00:02:05
THE MONSTER: I would prove
it if I could.
00:02:07
But I have no real proof.
