This is the noise that keeps me awake; my head explodes and my body aches. -- Garbage, Push It

And it’s not like I let him watch The Walking Dead or anything.

Scene: After dinner. DADDY is loading the dishwasher.

DYLAN
My friend at school likes zombies.

DADDY
Oh?

DYLAN
Are zombies scary?

DADDY
Yes

DYLAN
Why?

DADDY
Because they eat people.

DYLAN
That’s scary. You should run away from zombies.

DADDY
Yes, generally.

DYLAN
Unless you want to get eaten. If you want to get eaten, you should hunt for zombies.

DADDY
I suppose so.

DYLAN
Or if you want to kill zombies. But for that, you need a sword. Or arrows.

DADDY
Um… Yes?
