Theme music begins.

Intro: Auricle - Season Two, Transmission. This show contains adult content and strong language.

A burst of static from the radio. The sound of a truck door opening.

Beverly

(From outside the truck) Go ahead buddy.

A dog hopping into the front seat of a truck. Shaking head, collar jingling.

Beverly

Good boy.

Truck door slamming shut. Dog breathing.

Beverly

(From outside the truck) Thanks guys! See you on the other side.

Beat

What’d you say? I’ve never been late.

Beat

Well I’ll do my best then.

The driver door opens. Squeaks from leather seat.

Beverly

Alright. Let’s double check -

Dog toy squeaking. Plastic baggie rustling.

We got our snacks, both mine and yours, we got your toys, we got my luggage, medications, and toiletries. We’re good.

Static from radio.

That’s weird, why is the radio doing that? Huh, we’ll have to keep an eye on that.

Zipper as luggage is zipped up. Seat belt click.

You ready, little guy? Let’s do it.

Truck engine starting. Radio disconnects. Various voices as scanning stations.

Radio dial as flipping through stations, then -

Radio DJ 1

Welcome back, road warriors. This is Crooner with WTSO, “The Void.”

Radio DJ 1

If you’d permit me: a little update on Baby Crooner. My little guy is babbling up a storm. He’s got so many thoughts, but very few means by which to communicate them and you can see the frustration in those tiny, watery eyes. Just give it time, my little man; soon the world will hear what you have to say. Makes me appreciate that I got this here microphone to send out my thoughts and you all, patient enough to oblige me in my ramblings. But enough of that, how about some music? You keep looking out for each other, road warriors, we’re in this together.

Clicking as a CB Radio is turned on.

Beverly

Can I get a radio check?

Voices and clicks while searching through frequencies. Silence.

Radio check.

Perfect. Captain’s log, day one. This here’s Beverly, call sign Just Bev. I’m joined by my co-pilot and the best in show of my heart, Lester. He’s my little guy. Lester’s call sign is Chewy, isn’t it? Punch it, Chewy!

Beat

Loud dog sniffing.

Beverly

He never barks when you want him to. Well now, don’t give me that look. You know, sometimes I think you don’t appreciate how funny I am. Lester is a handsome 10-year-old German Shepherd. I know you’re thinking that German Shepherds are big and energetic and shouldn’t be cooped up in a truck for hours a day--and you’re right to question that--but he loves it. We make plenty of stops so he can go to the bathroom and get some exercise, and he’s got a comfy little setup in here with blankets and his favorite toys.

Anyhow, we’re piloting the 18 wheeled monstrosity we call The Nostromo. Our cargo is, now get this: decorative soaps. Isn’t that something? I didn’t know they still made those. Now what’s more useless, decorative soaps or the person hauling them cross-country? Please don’t mistake me, I’m not poking fun at the profession. I love my job and I’ve hauled my share of important things, but sometimes you get stuck with a funny haul is all.

Radio static and frequency scanning.

Beverly

What was that? The radio is doing that thing again, buddy. The display is flashing random numbers. Everything seems to be working fine…I’m just going to ignore it for now and get it checked out after this delivery.

Anyhow, I’m an owner operator so I get to choose my contracts and the reason I took this particular one is this: Lester is getting up there in age and he’s getting too old to join me on my routes, so this will be his last voyage with me. It was perfect timing that this contract became available because it’s the same route I was on when I first got Lester. You know, I stopped off at a rest stop when I saw a sloppy sign that just read, “Free dog, need gone ASAP.” Something just told me to check it out. Maybe it was the lack of care that went into making the sign. But also, who just gives away their dog like that?

Frequency squeaks from the radio.

So, I went to the address on the sign, and there he was being scolded for something by the owner. I asked why she was rehoming him, and she said something like “he’s a good dog, he’s just not a good fit for our family.” And they’d had him for two years! Imagine that. I didn’t trust the owner, and I wanted to get him out of there. I know I could have waited for someone else to take him, but something came over me and I fell in love. I think it was his charisma and charm.

Collar jingling.

Ope, his ears just perked up! Yeah, you’re so charismatic and charming, yes you are.

And so we continued on the very route we’re on now, eight years later. I take comfort in symmetry. We had the best time on that first trip, so we’re going to make all the same stops and have just as good a time on this trip, aren’t we, buddy? Yeah. One final voyage.

Sudden truck horn.

Excuse you! Sorry. Somebody pulled right in front of me. I don’t like to use my horn but that was dangerous on their part and they didn’t even use their blinker. That drives me crazy.

Blinker clicking.

Anyhow, after driving all day today, we made our first stop at a dive bar in this small town a little ways out from where we loaded up. The bar is dog friendly, so Lester gets to come in with me. They gave him one of these little sausage treats that he loved. I think he loved them too much because he would hop up on the bar with his front paws every time the bartender walked past. I was embarrassed, but they didn’t seem to mind much. Lester has that effect on people (like I said, charm and charisma.) They had this lemon chicken club sandwich there that I ate last time, and it was quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Tragically, they were out of chicken this time. They suggested the chili dogs, which I considered but I just got fries instead. I get bad heartburn and I wasn’t sure if they’d be worth the pain. I would recommend that bar by name, but I’m not saying a word about where I’ve been or where I’m going, so as to not give any clues about my route. It’s not that I don’t trust y’all, but I’m looking at trucking as a simple equation. We’re going from point A to point B, and I’d rather keep as many unknown variables as possible out of the equation. That’s one of the reasons why I love this job. Yes, there are some unavoidable variables like weather and traffic, and it’s possible that the rig could break down. But as long as I’m behind the wheel, I can handle it. So... Well, I think that’s it from me tonight. Lester, you got any parting words?

Collar jingling. Dog sniffing.

Beverly

Good boy. This is Just Bev and Chewy. Thank y’all for listening.

Static and click as CB is turned off. Various voices from radio stations. Sound of cars driving by.

Radio connects.

Beverly

You excited? We’re just about there.

Collar jingling. Dog sniffing.

Do you remember this place? No? You will. Wait. Hold on.

Blinker clicking.

No, no, no. What’s this gas station doing here? Where’s the park? This is the place, right? Yeah, because there’s the post office across the street. You gotta be kidding me.

The truck brakes squeaking and the engine shutting off.

Beverly

I’m so sorry, buddy. They built an ugly gas station over our park. It looks like the creek is still here though. You wanna go for a swim, at least?

Dog claws on leather seat. Collar jingling.

Beverly

Yeah, let’s go for a swim.

Lester barking. Collar jingling.

Beverly

Easy there. I’m coming. I guess we can leave the windows down. We won’t be gone long.

Truck door opening and closing. Footsteps on gravel. Lester breathing heavily. Door opening.

Beverly

Go ahead!

Claws on leather. Dog claws hitting the gravel. Truck door closing.

Beverly

(from outside the truck) Not so fast, Lester. You’re not as young as last time. What is that? Is that mud? Where’s the water? Lester get out of there! Lester! No, don’t roll in it! Oh, look at you, you’re a mess. Get out of there! Lester! Here.

People talking far off. Lester barking.

Lester! Come. Good boy. Sit. Let’s go. Let’s get you cleaned up.

Lester shaking off water. Lester panting.

Lester! No! Lester sit! Hey! Lester! Get away from them! He’s friendly, just muddy. I’m so sorry. Lester! Lester! Come. Get over here! I’m so sorry. Let’s go. (Coming closer to the truck) What’s gotten into you? I’m so embarrassed.

Truck door opening.

Sit. I’m just grabbing your leash, do not get in this truck. My goodness, what a mess.

Towel handling. Rustling of plastic bag.

Where’s your, oh, here it is. Alright, let’s get you cleaned up.

Lester shaking off water. Static. Distant voices on radio.

Radio turns on. Scanning stations.

Radio DJ 2

I’m so glad you’re back here with me, Abigail at WKDT, “The Sustenance: Food for the Soul”, where the culinary arts blend together with life advice. In a moment I’m going to take some of your calls, but before that I want to remind you to flute the rim of your pastry when making Quiche Lorraine because/

Crackling interference.

Radio DJ 2

Whoops. Sounds like we’re getting some interference there. That’s alright. I was saying to always flute the pastry because, while it may seem like an insignificant step, it really/

Crackling interference.

Radio DJ 2

There it is again. Anyway, I was saying…Oh gosh, what was I saying? When making muffins…no it’s Quiche Lorraine. When making Quiche Lorraine…Just….I lost the metaphor, I think…uhm… just remember that you’re doing your best. Let’s take some calls, shall we? You’re on the air, with--

Radio turned off. CB radio turned on. Scanning stations until - Silence.

Beverly

Can I get a radio check?

Radio check?

Perfect. Captains log, day two. This here’s Just Bev, joined by Lester, or Chewy, and we’re right on schedule as usual. Lester did something naughty today, didn’t you?

Beat. Collar jingling.

“I plead the fifth,” he says. That’s your right, but I know what you did so don’t give me that look. Before we get to what he did, let me ask you a question: have you ever met a dog that loves slides? Or I guess I should say a dog that loves climbing up slides? Well, now you have because that’s Lester. He loves climbing up slides, but they must be those old metal ones. He doesn’t go for the newer plastic ones. Why he loves this, I have no idea.

Beeping.

Beverly

Ope. Sounds like interreference. Anybody there?

Radio check.

Anyhow, our big stop today didn’t go as planned. There used to be this cute park right on the outskirts of this little town. It was at this park where I first saw Lester climb up a slide. The park is now a gas station sadly and the creek there that Lester swam in last time is now mostly mud but that didn’t stop him from swimming in it. After I dragged him out of the mud, he decided to make friends with some customers at the gas station (who did not want more friends, by the way they reacted to this mud monster running around them.)

Dog grumble. Licking.

I don’t know what was in that mud, but he was acting like a dog possessed.

Otherwise, it was a pretty good day. I do have the worst hangnail though, and it is driving me crazy. Been picking at it all day. I know I shouldn’t, but I just can’t help myself. I guess I could put a bandaid on it, but I think I’d still press on it, so I don’t know how good that’ll do. I’ve heard that/

Beeping.

Beverly

Hello? Somebody there?

Radio check.

Beep.

Beverly

Yes, Hello?

Do you need assistance?

Must be interference. I’m going to go ahead and hop off just in case someone needs this channel. I don’t want to clog it up. So that’s it from me tonight. Lester, you got any parting words?

Dog sniffing.

Beverly

Good boy. This is Just Bev and Chewy. Thank y’all for listening.

Click as CB is turned off. Static and interference. Cars passing.

Radio connects.

Beverly

(Singing) His name is Lester. He is a good boy. (Speaking)

Dog sighing. Collar jingling.

What? You used to love that one. I’m just trying to lighten the mood. I’m sorry you didn’t get to go on your slide yesterday. We’ll find you another one. I’m doing my best here, alright?

We haven’t passed Springville yet, have we? I feel like we should have by now. Let me check the . . . yeah, the GPS says we should have passed that 30 minutes ago. We didn’t though, right? I’m positive we didn’t. I’ll try to . . . wait. This thing is glitching. Now it says we’re going the wrong way. What the hell?! We can’t/

Radio DJ 3

Hey! Are you still here? This is K103, “The ‘Tude: Radio with an Attitude.” The sexy voice you’re hearing now of course belongs to me, Kent “The Rash” Hunter. Now, it seems some people out there have been complaining about my language on this show. And you know what I say to that? I say you can go/

Cars driving by. Radio connects.

Beverly

(from outside the truck) Good boy. Nice and slow.

Truck door opening.

Beverly

Hold on, bud, I’ll help you up. Ready? (Grunts)

Leather impact.

There we go. Good boy. You alright?

Panting. Dog groan. Chuffing.

That was a long hike, I’m sorry. Can I see your paw? Yeah, it’s ok. You want a treat? No? Too tired? I’m sorry. You just relax.

Radio disconnects. Various voices while stations are scanned. Cars passing by.

CB radio clicks on.

Beverly

Can I get a radio check?

Click to a new station. Silence.

Radio check?

Alright. Captain’s log, day three. This here’s Just Bev, joined by Lester, or Chewy, and we’re a little off schedule. Our GPS malfunctioned and took us in the wrong direction for a ways. Maybe it’s the aliens. I’m pretty sure I did see a UFO on one of my routes a few years back. Some other guys on the CB saw it too. Anyhow, we’ll make up some time and get back on that schedule. We’re not too worried, though, are we buddy? No, we’re not. You ok? Still tired? That’s alright, you just rest now.

We had to cut our big stop today a little short. We visited a bluff that has this nice little hiking trail we went on last time. It was going really well today, but Lester started falling behind a bit and then he had a little spill. Now, I didn’t see it, but it sounded like he slipped on some loose gravel. He wasn’t hurt, just a little shaken up by the looks of it. He must have just been tired. He didn’t seem to want to go much further, so we headed back. Later in the day is when our GPS pulled that fast one on us but hopefully, we’ll be back on track soon.

Plastic container rustling.

On the bright side, the weather has been very nice so far and…

Tiny thud.

Oh damn! Hold on one second, I dropped my fig newton.

CB clicks off.

Radio (Beverly’s voice)

Hello?

Beverly

It sounds like there’s a weird echo on this channel. I guess we can call it a night. I hate the sound of my own voice. I’m wondering if you do too, Lester, the way you choose to ignore me sometimes when I know you can hear me. It’s that selective hearing of yours.

Lester whining lightly.

Oh, I’m sorry, I was just kidding. You go back to sleep, sweetheart.

Light kiss. Collar jingling.

I hope this trip isn’t too much for him. This is Just Bev and Chewy. Thanks for listening.

CB beep. CB clicks off. Static. Various voices while stations are scanned. Cars passing.

Oh shoot. I’m gonna let it go to voicemail. Beat No I should deal with this now. (Answers phone) Hey boss man, you got my message? . . .Yeah, the GPS malfunctioned . . . It really happened, it's not an excuse and I’m not that behind, I’m doing my best and. . . I thought I’d let you know so you could tell the client it may be a little bit late. . .

It’s Just Bev and Chewy here. We are very behind schedule. The GPS got screwed up again and got us lost for a while. I don’t think I’m going to make the delivery on time and…and I don’t think I want to do this tonight. Sorry, Lester.

Please stop saying that.

Radio

You’re doing your best. You’re doing your best. (Volume raises) You’re doing your best.

Beverly

It doesn’t matter that I’m doing my best if my best isn’t good enough! That’s the problem. Everything on this route has gone completely wrong and I feel like I have no control over anything and nobody is going to give me contracts because of fucking decorative soaps. But I don’t even care about that. All I wanted, the whole point of me taking this route, was to give Lester one great final ride and it’s all gone wrong. I couldn’t even give my dog a decent send off. And I’m not ready for this. I’m not ready for him to not be here with me. He’s my little guy and he deserves a great trip and that’s up to me and I can’t give him that because I’m completely useless and I messed everything up and I don’t deserve him, and I should have let someone else take him since I can’t even do a simple thing like give him/

Lester is not complaining. He appreciates being with me, in the moment. Lester doesn’t care that things go wrong, he’s just happy to be here with me.

Radio

Hey! – Hey! – Hey!

Beverly

Right, Lester?

Collar jingling.

You don’t even know that things are going wrong. I’m sorry buddy. How’s about we deliver these stupid decorative soaps, huh? Are you all still here?

Hey!

I don’t know who you people are…and you are very strange people…but thank you. Thank you so much.

Our exit’s coming up. You excited about retirement? You deserve it.

I wish you knew how happy you make me.

Well, I don’t know about you but I’m in no rush. What do you say to adding one more day to the voyage?
