WOODBURY

Brian is sitting at the end of a wooden table, Merle drags his knife weapon across the wood towards him.

Merle: You don't even know why you're here, do you, baby bro? I didn't mean you no harm. I lowered my gun but your Asian boyfriend raised his.

Brian raises his eyes glaring up at him.

Merle: You were an asshole out there, just like you were always were.

Brian: Takes one to know one, asswipe.

Merle: What your friends did, leaving me up there-----people wouldn't do that to an animal.

Brian: We went back for you.

Merle: Ain't you thoughtful?

Brian: We did, all of us-----Rick, Ian, Daryl, T-Dog.

Merle: Mm, T-Dog. Yeah, big ol' spear-chucker

He walks around the back of the chair.

Merle: The one I was pleading with.

He walks back to the front.

Merle: Mm-hmm, the one that dropped the key. Tell me where he's at. I'm sure T-Dog would like to bury the hatchet, let bygones be bygones.

Brian: He didn't make it.

Merle leans down closer to his face, Brian doesn't flinch, clenching his jaw staring into Merle's eyes.

Merle: Well I hope he went slow.

Brian's eyes fills up with pure anger as he clenches his hands into fists.

Merle: Yeah. You've gone soft, baby brother. Got yourself a Asian boyfriend and you're a nigg---

Brian: Fuck you.

Merle: How about the rest? Officer Friendly's little Princess? She alive? Mr. Ian's smartass? Hmm? How about our brother? You can't tell me he's alive and then hold off on where he is.

Brian doesn't say a word as he looks away

Merle: No? Well, maybe the farmer's daughter will help me out or your Asian boyfriend.

Brian: You touch a hair on their heads and I'll fucking kill you.

Merle simply just smirks as Brian narrows his eyes glaring at him.

Merle: Tell me something-----she got a sister?

Brian clenches his jaw not looking at him

Merle: Oh she does, doesn't she? You hitting that? Tell me----when she's scared and she's holding you close, her trembling skin

He slowly moves his knife weapon up Brian's chin pushing his head back.

Merle: Is close to you, her soft lips are touching you here, all over here,

He drags the blade slowly down Brian's neck.

Brian: Oh for crying out loud----you gonna do something or you're just gonna keep playing grab ass with me?

Merle: Feels good, don't it?

He slowly drags the blade across Brian's chin

Merle: I remember your Asian boyfriend. He's the sneaky one, the one with nerve, well besides the British fucker. You don't scare easily anymore, baby brother, do you? About time you grew some damn balls. I like that, little brother.

He stands up and walks back around to the back of the chair standing behind Brian.

Merle: I wanna know where our brother is.
