Everything is meaningless, says the Teacher, completely meaningless!

What do people get for all their hard work under the sun?
Generations come and generations go, but the earth never changes.
The sun rises and the sun sets, then hurries around to rise again.
The wind blows south, and then turns north. Around and around it goes, blowing in circles.
Rivers run into the sea, but the sea is never full. Then the water returns again to the rivers and flows out again to the sea.
Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content.

History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new. Sometimes people say, “Here is something new!” But actually it is old; nothing is ever truly new. We don’t remember what happened in the past, and in future generations, no one will remember what we are doing now.

JEB
Now, let’s see what the NSA has on
John’s death.

He pulls up a video, and presses play. In the video is CCTV
footage of a dark, damp alleyway. Two unidentifiable men
stand facing each other.

KASICH
I know, I know, I’m sorry. I just
thought-

CRUZ
You thought what? That you actually
had a chance to defeat Donald? To
defeat me? Come on. Even Bernie
could-

The video cuts out. Jeb frantically paws at the keyboard.

JEB
What? There’s got to be another
video! This can’t be all they have,
Mr. Fluffles. That...that was John
and Ted...what is going on?

His screen suddenly shorts out. It reads {UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, CASE CLOSED. FILED, ZODIAC CASES}



JEB
No, the case can’t be closed. Ted,
he murdered John Kasich! He
actually murdered him! What the
ever loving hell?

MR. FLUFFLES stretches, arching his back and yawning.

JEB
Wait a moment...Zodiac Cases?
That sounds familiar. Zodiac, where
have I heard that in the news
before?

JEB’s eyes widen in shock.

JEB
No, it can’t be. It’s not possible.
Ted Cruz is...the Zodiac Killer?

RUBIO
...And that’s why I’ve decided to
endorse Senator Ted Cruz. He is the
only one who can get this party
back on track and the best
candidate for President of the
United States. Thank you.

CRUZ and the audience clap. RUBIO and CRUZ exit the stage
together, and pass by various aides and campaign officials.
They enter into a vacant hallway, filled with assorted props
and stage equipment. Near CRUZ and RUBIO there is an old
stage curtain, hanging haphazardly from the ceiling and
leaning against the wall. CRUZ leans in close to whisper in
RUBIO’s ear.

CRUZ
(whispering) Shall we meet in
yours, or mine?

RUBIO
Yours is fine. See you in five.

RUBIO continues down the hallway, while CRUZ stops,
watching him go. He grins a bit to himself, and then turns
to head a different way. As he passes the curtain, JEB whips
out from behind it and pins CRUZ to the wall.

CRUZ
(confused, but not scared)
What-Jeb? What in God’s name are
you doing here?

JEB
I know who you are. I know what you
did!

JEB clenches his teeth, eyes blazing, and holds CRUZ harder
against the wall. CRUZ stares back at him, revealing
nothing.

JEB
You killed John Kasich. You’ve
killed dozens of others, too. I
know the truth,
Ted...Rafael...whatever your name
is. You’re the Zodiac Killer.

CRUZ raises an eyebrow, and laughs.

CRUZ
So what if I am?

JEB seems shocked that CRUZ would admit this so easily.

JEB
But...wha-what? What do you mean,
"so what?" You’re a murderer. A criminal. Someone like that can’t become president!

CRUZ
Hasn’t stopped me so far.

JEB
What are you planning to do with
Marco? Are you going to kill him
too?

This comment surprises CRUZ.

CRUZ
You have no idea, do you? For all
you think you know, there is so
much more you don’t.

CRUZ shoves JEB off of him.

CRUZ
Stay out of my way, or pay the
price.

CRUZ walks out, leaving the dumbstruck JEB standing in his
wake. When CRUZ is gone, JEB grabs his lapel, revealing a
small microphone.

JEB
Did you get that, Bernie?

Cut to BERNIE, sitting in front of a laptop in another hotel
room, listening through JEB’s microphone.

BERNIE
Yes. I can’t believe it, but I did
get it.

JEB
Ready to help yet?

BERNIE
I don’t see how I could say no.

The door opens again, and in steps HILLARY CLINTON, wielding
a shotgun.

HILLARY
I’m coming too.

JEB
What? How did you get here? Bernie,
did you invite her?

BERNIE
What, no!

GEORGE
No, I did.

GEORGE W. BUSH dressed in military fatigues enters the room,
followed by BILL CLINTON, brandishing a missile launcher.

GEORGE
I’m sorry I didn’t believe you,
little brother.

JEB
What the actual gently caress is happening?

BERNIE
Language!

BILL
George called me, one president to
another. This is no longer about
party politics, this is about
protecting the soul of our nation.

HILLARY
A killer can’t become the leader of
the country, no matter what party
they are. We’re going to help you
take Cruz down.

JEB looks around, examining the motley crew of politicians
in the room, and shakes his head. Even after every crazy
thing that had happened during this campaign, this is a bit
much.

JEB
Well, all right. Let’s get started.

yeah nick zammuto built himself a nice little homestead out of pine in rural vermont and then proceeded to never make another song as good as anything on any of the books albums ever again :(

edit: but i understand that the bands relationship was pretty strained so he's probably a lot happier now, and so i am happy for him.
