XANDER: Okay, that's it. I'm gonna...

Jack: Where you going?

XANDER: Look, something's just come up.

Jack: You gonna bail on me? Is that it?

Dickie: We got the cake mix!

PARKER: Where you wanna bake it?

Jack: (ominously) Xander's looking to leave.

Bob: No way. We need a wheel man.

Jack: (menacingly) Xander doesn't feel like he's part of the group.

XANDER: No. It's just I'm kinda busy!

Bob: He doesn't feel like part of the group because he hasn't been initiated.

Jack: Do you think he's ready?

PARKER: Oh, I think he's earned his stripes. I say we let him in, boys. Huh?

Dickie: (chuckles) Woo-hoo!

XANDER: (grins) Great! (nods) I wanna be in the gang, sure!

PARKER: Alright! Yeah.

Jack: That's the spirit.

PARKER: Yeah.

XANDER: (smiling, getting into it) What do I gotta do?

Jack pulls out Katie and holds the blade to his face.

Jack: You gotta die.

XANDER: Alright, guys, what... Let's just talk about this.

PARKER: Aw, you wanna be part of the gang now, don't you?

XANDER: Yes, yes, but I'm not *dying* to be in the gang, if you get the, um... the pun there.

Bob: (insulted) What? You're, you're too good to be dead? You got a problem with dead people?

XANDER: What about Jack? Jack's not dead.

Jack lowers his knife, reaches down and raises his shirt for Xander to see. There is a series of bullet holes across his gut.

Jack: Drive-by three weeks ago.

XANDER: (exhales) Oh, boy.

Jack: Grandpappy found my body. I wasn't gone but ten minutes before he raised me. It's a rush, man.

Dickie: (smiling) Let's kill Xander. It'll be fun!

PARKER: Yeah, man, you could be a full-fledged member.

Jack: Come on, Xander. Take it like a man.

XANDER: Alright, enough! You guys have had your fun, but you forgot about *one* thing. (makes a break for it)

Jack: Get him!
