Quite The Wager

A dating service where matching is based on people’s search history exists. You’re a serial killer. You go on a date with a writer.

Discuss????

bonus:

I don’t usually watch Tatort but I will totally check out the Episode “Blind Date” with Alan Burgon (van Helsing in Re: Dracula and The interviewer in The Amelia Project)

(It’s on the ARD mediathek but only with German subtitles if I saw that right)

after my first #netflixhate post, i spent weeks and weeks gathering data on other incidents. and now, after having just seen a post about midnight club, the circle is finally complete.

btw i will continue gathering these and my next one is gonna be a picture of julius caesar (netflix) getting stabbed 23 times by his own council members (the ghosts of Netflix Originals past)

"I asked ChatGPT--"

Yeah well, I asked the wasps nest in my attic. It sang its answer so beautifully to me, but I am so very afraid of it. Perhaps it will soothe my itching soul...

ARTHUR (high-pitched, giddy): John! John!

JOHN: God damn it, Arthur, what?!

ARTHUR (happy): You remember!

JOHN: You don’t know because there is nothing fundamentally different. I was just made aware –

ARTHUR: By Lilly. By your time in the hospital.

JOHN: By you.

ARTHUR (breathing hard, pleading): Don’t let go! Don’t let go!

JOHN: Arthur! (Both exerting themselves, Arthur is pulled onto the ledge again.) Damn it.

ARTHUR (shocked): You… you… you… you grabbed on!

JOHN: I told you I would!

ARTHUR (sniffling): I’m lost… I’ve lost… I’ve sunk too far.

JOHN: No. I know you, my friend. You are in there. You saved me before. I will not let you drown. (Arthur starts to sob again. John soothes.) Don’t be scared.

JOHN (slowly, amidst Arthur’s shaky breathing):

Whose woods these are… I think I know. His house is in the village, though. He will not see me stopping here… (Arthur breathes shakily, soon falling quiet.) To watch his woods fill up with snow. My horse must think it queer, to stop without a farmhouse near… (Fabric rustles.) Between the woods and frozen lake, the darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bell a shake, to ask if there is some mistake. And only other sounds to sweep, of easy wind, and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark, and deep… (Arthur sobs again.) But I have promises to keep.

And miles to go before I sleep.

(Quieter.) And miles to go before I sleep.

ARTHUR: I’m sorry, John. I’m so sorry. For everything.

JOHN: I’m sorry, too.

ARTHUR: Why? For what? You-

JOHN: For leaving you for so long.

ARTHUR: I feel cold. I feel cold.

JOHN (in misery): No.

ARTHUR (almost lighthearted): We’ve had worse.

JOHN (near tears): No, no, no.

ARTHUR: Maybe not.

JOHN: No.

ARTHUR: I…

JOHN (pleading, his voice quiet and shaking): No. Arthur. No.

ARTHUR: I think this … I think this may be it –

JOHN (suddenly shouting): Arthur! Arthur, no!

ARTHUR: Goodbye, my friend. (His breaths grow shaky)

JOHN (still shouting): Arthur, no! (Quieter.) Arthur, no. (A whisper.) No.

ARTHUR: Did you do this? (In disbelief.) You… you sewed up my wound. You – I knew. (Warmly.) I knew it. We weren’t gonna go out like this.

JOHN: I know.

ARTHUR: I knew you wouldn’t give up.

JOHN (determined): Never!

ARTHUR (audible smile): Just like me.

ARTHUR: Do you trust me?

JOHN: Of course, Arthur!

ARTHUR: Then trust me.

[...]

JOHN: (quickly) Do you trust me?

ARTHUR (taken aback): What?

JOHN: Do you… trust me?

ARTHUR: I trust you, John.
