I got a job.
I mean, kind of a weird one but still a job.
EMMA
Explain a job that isn’t weird here.
Bet you can't.
But anyway. What’s the job?
BROOKE
That's true.
It’s more how I got it.
Coffee shop. So at least it’s something I’m used to.
EMMA
Does that mean I get friends discount?
Because we know I need a lot of caffeine.
But how is it weird?
BROOKE
Of course you do.
I'm sure Martin won't mind.
I went to get some coffee and there was a guy there who just seemed to know I'd been through some stuff.
And his boyfriend, who owns the place, apologized for the weirdness but said I seemed lonely and offered me a job.
That makes it sound creepier than it was.
EMMA
Weren't you the one worried about dating again?
Emma this is straight up serial killer origins.
Why are you working for creepy people who know too much?
BROOKE
Like I said...they weren't creepy though.
Just kind of sad.
I think they're more supernatural than serial killer.
EMMA
Because that's better?
If you get turned into a vampire or werewolf
I'm not grooming you.
BROOKE
I mean I've never had a boss try to kill anyone.
Just a half-sister, a boyfriend and a guy who liked me.
Plus everything in this town is weird so I'm not going to find a
not
weird job.
EMMA
You know what's not weird?
Selling clothes part time.
You know who I don't work for?
Weird supernatural people that intrude on my trauma without consent.
BROOKE
The owner apologized for it being weird. So like...at least he's aware?
He's actually really nice.
I promise I'll run at the first sign they're trying to idk steal my organs or something.
EMMA
I think they've already started indoctrinating you into a cult of some kind.
I'll be taking my coffee to go.
BROOKE
I'm not going to join a cult. I promise.
Maybe I'm just tired of being terrified of everything.
That's fair. You don't have to hang around the coffee shop.
EMMA
No one plans to join a cult, Emma.
There are some things you're meant to be terrified of. Or at least avoid.
First person to comment on anything I 'feel' or 'exude' will get their balls twisted off.
BROOKE
Fine, I will actively resist joining a cult. Better?
Yeah, but that's 90 percent of this town.
And I'll cheer you on.
EMMA
There's a difference between comic book heroes
And Lovecraftian freaks.
I'm totally not coming in without Steve until I don't get 'creepazoid' vibes.
BROOKE
Fair.
How are things with Steve?
EMMA
Shockingly amazing?
It's bad that being in a good, healthy relationship is unusual for me.
Aside from his fashion sometimes, there's like... no faults in this weirdo.
BROOKE
Aww.
I'm really happy for you. You deserve good things.
Well, he's from the 80s so...what can you do?
We should all hang out sometime. You and me and him.
And Mike.
EMMA
What can I do?
Redress him like he's my personal Ken doll, that's what I can do.
Still taking an axe on your dates?
BROOKE
I should have guessed that.
I never took an AXE. I took mace. And no. Not any more.
That's going...shockingly well too.
EMMA
I took an axe.
Made it very clear if he was a murderer I'd be his hardest kill yet.
Why did we need to get kidnapped to bumfuck alternate dimension to get decent guys?
BROOKE
Because all the "decent" guys back home either died or were serial killers.
Or were Noah. Who's great but no.
EMMA
