Harm Reduction Part Sixteen - Ghosts

AARON:
Justin just said he has a gift and that he knows there's a ghost on the fourth stair of the staircase going down to the basement. He's so full of shit.

PETE:
Justin's a homeless drug addict who pays people to kill my relatives. If he says he has a only one gift and that it makes him see a ghost on the fourth stair then there's a ghost on the fucking fourth stair.



















PETE:
There's a question I have always been meaning to ask you.

JUSTIN:
The answer is one.

PETE:
There's one ghost in this house.

JUSTIN:
Yup.

PETE:
Who is it?

JUSTIN:
I'm really not supposed to tell you.

PETE:
Well you can't just leave me hanging like that.

JUSTIN:
Ok. It's not your Dad and it's not your Mom cause I know that's where your mind is going.

PETE:
Who the fuck else could it be?

JUSTIN:
Thank God you're pretty.

PETE:
Am I missing something?

JUSTIN:
The ghost is here for me.





JUSTIN and PETE are sitting at a desk in an office in a bank.

BANK EMPLOYEE:
Do I've collected all the paperwork and I'll just need a few signatures and the money should arrive by tomorrow.
So just to summarize this will be a $30000 equity loan against the current market value of your home which is 1.5 million dollars.

JUSTIN is incredulous.

JUSTIN.
Holy fuck.
Your house is worth THAT?!
