"We're having some people over." " No." "No, no, no." "I don't play well with others." "It wouldn't turn out well for anybody." " It's true, he doesn't." " I don't." " Look, if we're going to be bailing these two out of jail" "Every now and again," "We may as well get to know each other a little better." "So be there." "Keep the weed at home." " Sure thing, teach." " And that brings us to the issue of the house." " I just want my fair share." " Mm-Hmm." " It's been sitting on the market for months now, charlie." "It's not selling." " Well, maybe if you weren't too busy" "Bringing every unemployed actor in l.A." "With a cougar fetish back to my house," "You could focus on getting it sold." " First...it's our house." "And second, if you weren't too busy" "Trying to shove your angry inch into every damage case" "That crosses your path," "We wouldn't even be in this mess to begin with." "Can I get a fucking amen?" "Unce, unce!" " Look, all I'm saying is I can't afford" "To keep paying rent and mortgage at the same time." " He's hiding money somewhere." "I know it!" " There's nothing to hide!" "She snorted it all." " You're working as an agent again!" " I'm working on commission!" " Really?" "That's pathetic, charlie." " Agreed." "It's the only way" "I could get back in the business, okay?" "It's not like the top five" "Are rolling out the red carpet for me." " Hmm." "I wonder why." "Oh, that's right." "They're probably afraid you'd jerk off all over it." "You know what?" "Have it your way, okay?" "I'll just--I'll move back in." " Hells no!" " What, you said so yourself." "It's our house." "My name's on the mortgage too." "You know?" " That can't be right." "Tell him, marv!" " What can I say?" "It's perfectly within his rights." " Oh!" "Yes!" "Finally!" "I win!" "Ehh!" " Asshole." " Hey." "I know you're saving the planet and all," "But it doesn't give you the right to be an asshole." " Fuck you!" " Fuck me?" " Yeah, that's right." "Fuck you!" " Live strong, asshole." " Aah!"

" Yeah." " I don't see how that's at all relevant" " Yeah." "I like a..." "stand up 69." "You ever try it?" " That sounds...challenging." " Exactly!" "Which is why you end up coming like a baby gorilla." "So what's your take on interoffice romance, huh?" " I appreciate the interest, Sue." "Really, I do." "But I am right in the middle of a nasty divorce." "I'm what they call emotionally unavailable." " Emotions?" "Who needs emotions?" "I'm thinking about your tube steak." "Is that unavailable too?"

" Right of way or not," "You were definitely hogging the road." " You flicked your cigarette at me." " Well sure." "But you gave me the finger." "That got my irish up." "That was downright antisocial of you." " Yes." "But you were honking your horn repeatedly." " Which brings us back full circle" "To the fact that you were hogging the road." "I'm just sayin'..." " I had the right of way." " Who says?" " State of california." " I don't agree." " He doesn't agree." " I don't agree." " Can we just change the subject, please?" " I-I'm fine with that."
