"That was a great morgan freeman." " Darth vader." " Darth vader, man." "I'm doing darth vader." "No, i didn't get that at all." " Did you get that?" " Sounded like morgan freeman." "Okay." "That's great." "Um..." "So, w-What are your..." "What are your plans for today?" "Plans?" "What do you mean?" "Like, an agenda?" "Oh, oh, yeah, i got a lot of stuff going on today." "I'm going to watch "deadliest catch" marathon" "On discovery or maybe one of those pawnshop shows." "Oh, those are great." "Yeah, see how the other half's living." "No, i was talking about outside."

"You hungry?" "Yeah, sure." "Were you asleep?" "Uh, kind of, yeah, it was like..." "It was like i was awake, but i was dreaming." " You know, it was weird." " What was the dream?" "I don't know." "Don't really remember." "I was on a bus." "I don't know where to, but, um..." " You know who was there?" " Of course." "Yeah, that was the weird thing." "I mean she would never take the bus." "No, i don't think she would." "So listen, dude." "Maybe it's time to get started again." "Start what?" "Started anything." "Started doing." "You can't just lie around on the couch" "All day, every day, right?" "I do stuff." "I've been reading that "cosmo" there." "You know there are 14 different things a woman can do" "With her index finger to save her marriage?" " That is important." " Yeah, it's big stuff." "I know that it has been tough since je..." "Since she left, but it's time to move on." "You gotta go out." "You need to get a job." "And what is that on your face, man?" "Is that like fungus or beard or what?" "This?" "It's my new look." "It looks like shit." "Like actual feces is smeared on your face." "So then..." "you don't like it?" "No." "Nobody does anywhere." "Look, i work, you know?" "I make money." "No, checking your stocks for 15 minutes a day," "That's not a job." "That's not work." "It's like thumb action." " I don't wanna work." " You sound like lucas." "I don't wanna work." "Oh, that's so funny." "Maybe you could just, uh..." "start slow?" "You know, baby steps." "Take the trash cans out to the street," "Or you could wash your car, go rake the leaves." "Don't you have an entire staff of people to do that?" "I mean, what kind of hotel is this anyway?" "This ain't no hotel, baby." "All right, i get it." "I get it." " Do you?" " Not at all." "You're the worst." " You're the best." " Okay." "Careful with that sink." "The faucet's still broken." "I know!" "Crap." "You okay, honey?" "Stupid faucet!" "Lucas:" "knock, knock!" "Justin:" "oh, hey, buddy." "Hi, daddy." "What's going on?" "Nothing." "What are you guys doing?" "Oh, your mom and i are just chatting." "Boring!" "I'm gonna go play in my room." " Was that tyler?" " No, it was lucas." "He just wanted to know what we were up to." " Oh, what a sweetie." " Yeah, i guess." "I tried to talk to him today." " Who?" "Lucas?" " No, tyler." "Oh." "How'd that go?" "It was horrible." "I feel like every time i try to say something," "It just makes things worse." "Oh, i'm sure that's not true." "I'm sure it is true." "I mean, i'm trying to help him, but..." "Look, we need to just keep being there for him." "Maybe you should talk to him." " Ooh, yikes." "Me." "No!" " He's your friend." "He's your friend." "Well, yeah, he's our friend, and it's not gonna do anybody" "Any good for me to chat with him." "I know, but it's been two months." "Babe, i don't know what i would do if you left me." "Oh, you cutie." "But when he does leave," "We have to do something else with that guest room." " Anything, anything else." " Anything else." "Like a craft room or..." "what are you doing?" "What are you..." "i'm... starting." "Not with a guest in the house." "Are you crazy?" "I know but..." "i'm already getting filled up." "Gross, gross." "It's not gross." "I just love you." "Two months is a long time." "Lucas:" "knock, knock!" "Come in." "Hey, buddy." "Oh, hey, buddy." "What's up?" "Are you sad?" "No, man, no, i'm not sad." "Why would you think i'm sad?" "My mommy said you're sad." "Oh." "Mommy said this to you?" "No, daddy." "Really?" "And when did mommy say this to daddy?" "Always." "Did mommy ever say anything else about me?" "She said your face has s-H-I-T on it." "Yeah, well, that's fair." "I'll give her that." " But no, man, i'm not sad." " Okay." "But, you know, buddy," "Sometimes in life," "Things don't go the way that you want." "Oh, they're great for a while," "Maybe too great, you know?" "And then like a sledgehammer to the gut," "Everything goes to s-H-I-T." "Do you ever have a toy, a toy that you loved so much" "And you played with every day?" "Then one day," "The toy kicks you out of the apartment" "Because the toy thinks you need to get a better job." "But you think your job's just fine." "The toy makes comments about your abilities as a man." "No matter how hard you try to keep everything" "From falling apart, it's out of your hands." "And the mistakes that you made at the time" "That you thought were no big deal, no big deal," "They turn out to be the seeds of your future ruin." "And despair." "Don't worry, buddy." "There's someone out there for you." "What an asshole." "Hey, tyler, what do you want to, um..." "Start with something small." "Get your feet wet." "Hey, bro." "Is that your car?" "You talking to me?" "Oh, that depends, bro." "I mean, is that your car?" "Yeah, sure." "Two months, bro." "Two months what?" "Two months you've been parked in front of my house, bro." "It's not cool." "Oh, sorry." "You don't sound real sorry, bro." "Yeah, i'm not really." "I mean, it's a public street... bro." "Hey, are you some kind of lawyer or something?" "I like you, bro." "That's... great." "Sure." "Hey." "I'm pretty baked right now." "You can't even tell." "Wait." "Are you that retard justin was telling me about?" "No, man." "I'm not a retard." "Oh, sorry, bro." "No, i mean..." "They call it calling you special-Needs-American." "Yeah, that's..." "that's not a thing." "And, no, i'm not." "I'm pretty sure you are, bro." "I mean, you know, the robe and the slow talking." "Look, i feel like this is something" "That i would know about." "That's funny." "How would a retard..." "A special-Needs-American dude know" "That he's a special-Needs-American dude?" "That's funny." "You make me laugh, bro." "Yeah, i am not... thanks." "My name's tyler." "Well, i'm brody, bro." "Bro... your name's brody?" "You got that right, bro." "All right, brody, i'll see you around, man." "Sweet, hey, hey, maybe some time you and me," "We could..." "fire up a bong," "You know, and get a pizza?" "Yeah." "Oh, hey, and i got a pool, too, bro." "So if you can get permission, you can come over," "We can, you know, take a dip." "I don't need permission." "Yes, i love that dude." "Oh, god, it's like my new best friend, yes." "Mm, it's a good day." "You know it's me calling." "Why don't you answer the phone?" "Answer that god damn phone" "Or we're getting a god damn divorce." "Hey, babe." "Um..." "tyler went outside." "No, seriously." "He took the trash out," "And then i think he actually talked to brody." "I know, i know, i know." "Yeah, i'm wearing panties, why?" "Okay, good, okay, so good, so good, so good." "Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay." "Okay, bye." "Oh, hey." "Hey." "Hey, i was just thinking about" "Going out for a little bit." "Out?" "Yeah." "Out, out?" "Yeah, yeah, i was just going to check out" "That cafe that you're always talking about," "The one on morgan street." "So, just, you know, if you need anything," "Do you want me to get you something?" "No, no, no, no." "I'm fine." "Yeah, no." "Okay, great." "I mean, you look fine, so..." " I'm here with my swatches." " Cool." "Well, just keep working and, you know," "Text me if you need something." "I'm gonna..." "i'm totally gonna text you." "Yeah, you got your phone so you can..." "Yep, text back and forth." "Okay, great." "I'll see you." "Mm-Hmm." "* he's got all the things a cripple has not * * two working arms and legs" "* and vital parts fall from his system... *" "Bro!"

"What does the sign say?" "Uh, "please wait to be seated."" "Yes, and we're both clear on what those words mean" "Individually and as a whole?" " Yeah." " Great." " There you go." " Thanks." "I'll check on you in a few minutes." "Great." "I should have never come out." "Well, she was pretty horrible." "Right?" "It wasn't on me, was it?" "Oh, no, no." "No, no." "Okay." "So..." "so do you, uh..." "Do you eat food often here?" "Yeah, sorry." "What do you..." "what do you like here?" "Uh, can't go wrong with the reuben" "Or a club sandwich." "Oh, yeah, the fire and ice of satisfactory lunches." "You're weird." "Yes, i am." "What can i get you?" "Oh, yeah, i'll just have iced latte and a club." "Iced latte." "You know what?" "Forget the club." "I'll do the reuben." "You sure?" "Yeah, yeah." "Reuben." "Reuben it is." "Okay." "Some hesitation there, but a nice recovery." "I don't know, is it just me," "Or is she kind of into me a little bit?" "Not even the slightest bit." "I don't know, man." "I felt a little vibe there, a little tension." "You are terrible with women." "Yes, i am." "Yes, i am." "So are you from around here?" "Uh, well, sorta." "I'm just staying at a friend's place right now." "Mm, like a vacation." "Mm, no, more like a sabbatical." "Big religious guy, huh?" "No, not at all." "It's just a better way to describe my situation." "Better." "Better like you're trying to make it sound" "Like you're not goofing off on a vacation?" "Exactly." "But try not to tell everybody in here." "So what brings you here?" "Well..." "i was living in the city." "Mm." "Nitty-Gritty city." "And then, uh-Huh..." "Uh-Huh." "Doesn't sound so good." "Not good at all." "Life goes on, right?" "Does have a way way of doing that."

"Yeah, i was deep undercover trying to infiltrate" "The aluminum can recycling cartel." "Oh, well, you did a great job because you looked truly awful." "That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me." "But originally, i tried those glasses" "With the big nose and the funny mustache." "Yeah." "Those are usually super effective." "Oh, that's what i thought, but not so much." "Well, i like it." "I like it a lot." "I'm glad because i wanted to look good for our date." "Okay, cool." "So what are we gonna do next?" "Well, um..."

"You should make this place a restaurant because, i mean," "I eat here all the time." "It's pretty much a restaurant to me, right?" "Breakfast, lunch, and dinner i eat here all the time." "You guys should have menus." "That'd be funny." "Yeah." "Great." "I'm gonna go check on the food." "Oh, okay." "Can't wait." "Yeah, menus." "Yeah, right?" "Yeah." "She's funny." "Um..."

"I'm sorry, man, did you want more dressing?" "No." "I don't need more dressing." "Nobody here needs more dressing." "Not anymore." " Does katy like it?" " Looks like it." "But why don't you ask her?" "Do you..." "Like it, katy?" "You see?" "Everybody loves her food." "I'm telling you, you gotta open this restaurant." "You have to." "So, uh..." "Katy is in, um, advertising?" "Yeah, yeah." "She gets a little embarrassed when i talk her up," "But she's working on this amazing" "Coffee campaign right now." "I really don't know where this one gets her ideas." "Oh, maybe she just comes up with that out of this air." "Yeah, exactly, exactly." "She has such a vivid imagination." "Are you all right?" " Fine." " Just have some more wine." " She's fine." " Anyway, go ahead." "Would you like some more wine?" " No, i'm fine." " I do." "Oh, i'm..." "i'm so sorry." "So where'd you and katy meet?"

"I mean, you guys, seriously, you've been amazing," "But i think it's time for this little bird" "To find a new nest." "I'll drink to that." "Oh, man, thank you guys so much for dinner." " That was great." " It was our pleasure." " No problem." " No problem." "Hey, we're gonna just hang out in my room for a little bit." "Perfect." "I'm totally comfortable with that." "All right, hey, hopefully," "We don't make too much noise, if you know what i mean." " Love you, guys." " That's a good one." "I need a drink." "I need a drink." "I need a drink." "I need a drink." "She's so pretty, right?" "Pretty crazy." "What the shit was that shit?" "!" "Sorry, i was just thanking them again for dinner," "And telling them how amazing you are." " You're so sweet."

"And i like games." "Let's look at the photos." " Oh, you probably don't..." " Is she in here?" "How... how do you know?" "What, you had the whole dumped-Guy look." " Really?" " The beard." " You mean my disguise?" " Uh, yeah." "Like, the "working things out" look," "To put it nicely." "What was her name?" "Uh, her name was..." "Is jessica." " Nice name." " Mm-Hmm." "She's very pretty." "I guess." "Not as pretty as you, though." "Thank you." "Do you know what time it is?" "Uh, a little after 9:00." "Time to purge." "Oh, well, you see, these pictures..." "I keep those photos because they sort of remind me" "Of different time periods in my life that were..." "Yeah." "Yeah, we should delete them." " You ready?" "Okay." " Yeah." "Did that hurt?" "No." "Surprisingly no." "How about that one?" "That was okay." "Your turn." "Come on." "How was it?" "You know?" "I feel okay." "I'm so proud of you." "You know, it seemed like your friends" "Didn't like me very much." "Are you kidding?" "You were great." "Well, sure, to you, but you don't count" " Because you're smitten." " I am." "Quite smitten." "It just... it seemed like they didn't even look at me." "Oh, well, you know, i've just..." "You know, i've had a lot of problems with women," "And i guess they're just being protective." "Shh." " Shh!" " Shh!" "I don't hear anything." "I have better ears." "Go, go, go." "He's not joking." "He's not joking." "Doesn't look like it." "I literally spent the entire night" "Just waiting for him to say, "ha ha ha, just kidding."" " You need talk to him." " And tell him what?" "That he's hallucinating?" "That he's crazy?" "We did this to him." "No, no." " We did something wrong." " False." "We needed to be better as a couple," "Show him how people and human beings" "When they're in a..." "pairing." "I don't have a clue what's going on out there." "But the one clue that i do have is it ain't because of us, okay?" "You need to fix this." "Why me?" "I don't know what to do." "Maybe... maybe it's temporary." "Maybe it's temporary." "Maybe he's on drugs." "Some really good drugs." "That would be amazing." "Why is that..." "why would that be amazing?" "So how many places have you seen?" "Oh, this is the third one today." "Oh, where you're moving from?" "I was living in the city." "The city?" "Ugh, the worst." "So many minorities." "Well, here we go." "Now, as you can see, we have a spacious living room," "Fireplace, new crown molding." "Yeah, i'm sorry, man." "But aren't you a minority?" "Well, there are minorities." "And then there are minorities." "You know what i mean." "Uh, yeah, sorta." "I just kinda..." "I feel like you'd be more supportive." "So you're cool with all white people?" "Some white-Trash hillbilly or some cracker" "With a taste for human flesh?" "Or even worse, donald trump?" "No." "No, man, no." "So there are white people," "And then there are white people." "Right, i'd feel a lot more comfortable" "If we just kind of talked about the apartment." "Oh, yeah, no problem." "Utilities are included." "There's a washer and a dryer in the unit, 24-Hour access to the gym, and the best part?" "Great neighbors." " If you know what i mean." " Right." "Hey, if you don't mind," "I'm just gonna look around a little bit." " Absolutely." "Help yourself." "Go right ahead." " Thanks." "Wow, that guy was awful." "Different strokes for different folks." "You mean like the tv show?" " What?" " "Diff'rent strokes"?" "No, that's not what i meant." "You are so racist." "Hey, you're the one who said it." "But i'm not the one who made the super racist connection." "I'm not racist." "That guy might be." "He probably is." " Ladies first." " Why, thank you." "So this is where the magic happens." "You're so nasty." "What?" "That's eww." "That's gross." "Wait a minute." "Are you like one of those people that likes to have other people" "Poop and pee on them?" "You mean germans?" "No, that's not what i mean!" "I will let you know that i am half-German." "Oh, so you are only half into it." "I'm not into it at all." "What do you think?" "Well..." "i don't know." "I like it, but what about you?" "It doesn't matter what i think." "It kind of does." "I'm thinking about renovating it," "Turning it into a massage parlor for your target demographic." "You are such a pig." "I promise you'll be my best and only client." "And now you're a cheeseball." "Get on the table." " No, no, no." "Let me start with the oil on your butt crack." "Hey... hey." "Caramel macchiato." "Bagel." "Any kind they have." "Any kind!" "No, no, no, not that kind, not that kind." "Just get... just get me a blueberry muffin." "Okay, bye." "Tyler?" "Hey... hey." "No, not a latte." "A macchiato." "No, it's not the same thing." "Hey, bro." "Hey, brody." "We're neighbor bros, bro." "Call me bro." " Okay, uh, bro." " All right." "Hey, were you out here a couple of nights ago" "When tyler got back here?" "I'm always out here, bro." "Did you happen to see him talking to anyone?" " Me?" " No, someone else" "Or a girl, maybe just talking to himself." "No, that's the thing, bro." "I'm like... i'm a little fuzzy with the deets these days," "You know, because i've been experimenting" "With some pretty heavy psychotropics." "You know, bro, it's just like..." "It just like takes my brain out, bro, and it's down here" "Like, in my pocket, you know, and i..." "It's hard, bro, to get the details from the pocket." "What did she look like, bro?" "Uh, that's what we're wondering." "She wasn't, like, covered in fur" "With rainbows like..." "Like, shooting out of her eyes and stuff, was she, bro?" " Probably not." " Good, bro, because that's my girlfriend." "Okay." "Well, good talk." "Hey, bro, later on, we're having a little..." "Drum circle, okay?" "I want you and the wife there, okay?" " All right." " Okay?" " Yeah." " Clothing optional, bro." "No." " Hey, sweetie." " Hi." "Hey, big man." "What you eating?" "Dried blueberries." "They're high in antioxidants." "Antioxidants, huh?" "Is that something he should be worried about?" "Does he looked worried to you?" "Is that what's going on?" "Hey, there's no more house guest, so maybe we could..." "No, no, i'm definitely gonna be too tired tonight." "But you don't have to do anything." "Well, that does sound so special." "No." "Oh, i just had a totally weird conversation with, um..." " Tyler?" " No, the other..." " Brody?" " Yes." "He said that he hasn't seen tyler with anybody." "No?" "Nobody?" "Not even like a maybe or something?" "Not a thing." "Not a thing." " Okay." " Is he coming to dinner tonight?" "Who?" "Brody?" "No!" "Tyler." "No, he's out with, uh..." "with her." " Oh." " With who?" "He is out with his, uh..." "Special... friend." "His special friend." "Is he with his lover?" "Yes, kind of." "First comes love." "Then comes marriage." "Then comes tyler with the baby carriage." "And then comes the straitjacket!" "Yay!" "Boo." "So this kind of like our place." "Yeah." "What about the diner that we ate at the other day?" "The one that you said smells like a homeless man's butthole?" "Decent burger though." "Or the taco place." "We've eaten there like twice." "No, you've eaten there like twice." "Hey, those are..." "those are good tacos." "I don't know, i think the chicken" "Was still kind of moving in yours." "That's the secret ingredient." "Okay, fine." "So then this is my our place." "Oh, you're such a romantic." "And you are such a murderer of romance." " That's true." " Mm-Hmm." "Well, sir, it has been a pleasure." "Here's your change, unless you wanted" "To leave a little for the old tip-Er-Oony." " Okay." " Okay, keep that in mind." " Thank you." " I live on tips." "Okay." "Very subtle." "Actually, i have to go" "Because i have a meeting in an hour with, like, a big client." "Wow, cool." "Which reminds me," "When are you gonna get yourself some work to do?" "Come on, we've been over this before." "I have a job already." "That's not a job." "That's a pastime." "You need something that you do." "I don't think there's a law about that." "It's the law of the universe." "Idle hands are the devil's workshop." "Hey, lady, don't push your religion on me." "But haven't you ever wanted to do anything when you grow up?" "You know, like to be a fireman or a baseball player" "Or a forensic accountant with the government." "A what?" "No, something besides laying on your couch all day" "And pressing little buttons on your phone." "Actually, i'll have you know that this guy was enrolled" "In culinary school at one point." "Why'd you stop?" "Well, why does anybody stop these things?" "Just good old fashion american laziness." "Then, you know, i got involved in stocks" "And got sidetracked." "How's that working out for you?" "Good?" "Bad." "Ding, ding, ding." "Hey, buddy." "How's it going, man?" "Yeah, no, i'm good." "I'm good, how are you?" "Oh, wow." "Well, then i'm happy and sad for you." "No, she's good." "She's good, man." "Yeah, no, no, we're good." "We're good." "I've been meaning to call you." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "I'm calling you for a favor, asshole." "No, no, i'm doing you." "Asshole." "All right, forget it." "Listen, are you still selling that sofa?" "Yeah, yeah, totally." "Probably needs a once-Over, but it's in great shape," "Mint condition." "Yeah, we'll work out something fair." "Don't you worry." "Probably anal." "Oh." "What the hell does that asshole want?" "Yeah, you too, asshole." "Hey, asshole!" "No, i don't work mondays." "Because i don't work mondays." "No, it's not a religious thing." "Why, what religion do you think i am?" "You're such a stupid asshole." "Yes, because that is a tuesday," "Which as many people know, my friend, is not a monday." "What for?" "Are you doing air quotes?" "Nope." "I'll tell you on tuesday." "No, it is not sex tips." "I have plenty of sexual-Related knowledge." "Very." "Very sure." "No, it's about tyler." "Yeah, just..." "Shut up." "Pop in at my office at about lunch." "What are you eating?" "* i lose my mind * trying to get in your line of sight * * everything is quiet when i close my eyes * * here we go again" "* so it seems * i'm fighting harder for you * * than i ever did for anything *" "* caught in a daydream * i'm just gonna let myself fall into this one *" "* here we go again * it's all happening * or is it all in my head?" "* who says this daydream has to end?" "* * my heart's caving in * it's all happening * do you remember when..." "Justin: no, absolutely." "Iraq is the new bahamas." "That's what they say." "Hey, derek." "Come on back." "Hey, asshole." "Not here, dude, okay?" "Ooh, i love the headset, asshole." "That's not appropriate." "So you're still doing the travel-Agent thing then?" "Destination event coordinator, yes." "It's quite a lucrative business, in case you hadn't noticed." "So are you gonna sit here like a complete twat this whole time," "Or are you gonna sit in your chair like a normal human person?" "So did tyler tell you about katy?" "Yes, yes, and about moving out." "Awesome news." "Such a relief." "I thought for sure he was headed for..." "Well, the moving out is good, maybe." "But the girlfriend is a..." "is another situation entirely." "Oh, did you meet her?" "Yes." "And no." "We invited them over for dinner." "And when he showed up, she wasn't there." "She canceled?" "No." "She wasn't there." "But he thought she was there." "He acted like she was there." "But she was definitely not there." " What, like she's imaginary?" " Yeah." "Ooh." "Ooh, that's messed up." "We don't know what the hell to do about it!" "Ah, who gives a shit?" "I'm sorry?" "What does it matter if she's imaginary?" " Because it's crazy!" " Is it?" "Who are you to judge him for where he finds his happiness?" "I like it when a girl plays with my butthole." "Come on, this is a lot different than a girl" "Sticking her finger in your butt." "Sometimes two or three fingers." "Three?" "Okay, look, we need to help tyler, okay?" "This whole katy thing is just really unhealthy." "How do we know it's unhealthy?" "He's happy, right?" "He's moving on with his life." "Sounds pretty damn healthy to me." "I can't believe that you're siding with a crazy person!" "You guys can do what you want." "I ain't doing jack shit." "And if you screw him up, i'm coming after your ass," "And i assure you you, mate," "It will involve more than three fingers." "Derek?" "Derek?" "Oh, hey, man." "What are you doing here?" "Oh, just shooting the shit with this asshole, here." "What are you doing here?" "Oh, just coming to see if this guy over here" "Wants to get some lunch or you." " I already ate, so..." " Okay." "You in?" "Sorry, mate, some of us gotta work for a living." "Actually, i was just down the street enrolling..." "Re-Enrolling in culinary school." " That's great." " Yeah." " That's great news." " Thanks, man." "Great." "That's..." "that's very healthy behavior." "Would you and katy like to come to dinner tonight?" "Okay, 6:00." "Be great to see you and katy there actually, together." "Okay." "See you guys later." " Hey, bro." " Oh, hey, bro." "What happened this weekend, bro?" "What?" "Uh... with what?" "My g.D. Birthday party, bro!" "Oh, man, you know what?" "I was moving." "And i guess it totally slipped my mind." "I told everybody you were coming, bro." "Why?" "It's not cool." "It's not cool, bro." "Hey." "I'm sorry." "That guy's crazy." " Hey." " Hey, fonzarelli." "Nice timely reference there, chachi." " Yeah, had to pull that one out of the mothballs." " Yeah, yeah, it's good." " Hey." " Hey." "So how are you and katy?" "Oh, we're good." "Really amazing." " Great." " She couldn't make it." "Sorry about that." "She's got a client meeting," "Kinda burning the midnight oil, so..." " Oh." " Oh, she's... she's not here?" "No, no, just me." "You sure?" "Yeah, sorry to disappoint you, man." " This guy." " Just had to check." "Yeah, totally." "Oh, okay, let's..." "I mean, i made for four people to ingest the food." " That's fine." " I like that word, "ingest."" "I can eat for two." "So how are you and katy?" "Doing good?" "Oh, yeah." "It's... it's amazing." "I never imagined that it could be like this." "Oh, that's nice." "Well, actually, i think that we're..." "We're kind of glad that she couldn't make it." "You guys..." "you guys don't like her?" "No, no, that's..." "That's silly." "That's not it." "Exactly." "So what is it exactly?" "Well, i think that we just..." "we wanted to..." "Wanted to talk to you for a while," "And it's just a better thing if you don't think that..." "If... if..." "that she's not here." "Right." "Wow." "Okay." "This sounds..." "this sounds awful." "Um..." "Your last breakup was really..." "Was really hard on you, right?" "Right." "Well, i think that maybe some..." "Part of you just..." "didn't..." "Just didn't make it." "Okay." "Look, i appreciate this." "I'm fine now, really." "Katy..." "Isn't real." "I know." "She's... she's so unreal." "No, she's not an actual alive person, ty." "Okay." "No, just listen to me carefully, all right?" "Katy is a figment of your imagination." "Right, well, then she's a figment" "Of your imaginations because she was here for dinner." "So kind of hard to feed a figment of imagination." "When you came over that night, you were alone." "Okay." "Wow." "You guys are really committing to this joke." "All right, well, yeah, she sat here," "And you talked to her so..." "No, i didn't talk to her." "We didn't talk to her." "We talked to you, and we played along" "Because we thought you were joking," "And we didn't know what else to do." "Okay, i know what this is." "I know what's going on here." "I got it." "I got it." "Oh, i'm no longer mopey, depressed tyler" "Hanging out at your house all the time, right?" "So you guys have to go back to your boring," "Mundane married situation." "That's crazy." "Well, then it suits me, clearly," "Because my two friends are suggesting" "That i'm hallucinating the love of my life." " Come on." " I went on facebook, okay?" "And the only person with that name" "Is an incredibly large black woman in cleveland." "In cleveland." "I don't think that's her." "I don't think that's her." "First of all, i'm not even on facebook." "There's only like 10 million people on facebook." "A billion." "A billion people on facebook." " A billion?" " A billion." "Wow, okay, well, anyway," "There's four billion people on the planet." "Seven billion." " Seven billion people on this planet." " Give or take a few." "That's six billion not on facebook." "Wow, i am really shocked" "And disappointed by both of you." "Like, i'm sitting here, i'm finally happy again," "And i have to prove to you that this person is into me?" "Do you wanna see the texts?" "Because i got texts." "I got, you know, the call log." "I got emails." "What do you think?" " Do you think i hired some girl..." " No, no, no, no!" "When you came here, there was no body there." " There was nobody sitting in the chair, ty." " It was just empty space." "Okay." "All right, all right." "That's enough." "Seriously, even for you guys," "This is by far the bullshitiest bullshit ever." "We're just trying to help you, man." "Really?" "By making me feel like i'm crazy?" "By making me think that this amazing thing" "That i have in my life isn't real?" "What kind of friends are that?" "Well..." "That didn't go the way i thought it would." " No." " No." "No." "No." "Come on, come on." "Come on, pick up, pick up." "Pick up, come on." "Pick up the phone." "Thank god." "Oh." "No, no, i'm fine." "I'm fine." "Listen, can..." "can you come over?" "Yeah, no, i'm..." "i'm done here." "Okay." "All right, i'll see you soon." "Bye." "Hello." "Hi." "Thanks for coming over." "What's, uh..." "What's bouncing around that little head of yours?" "Nothing." "Okay." "Maybe you'll tell me later." "No, it's just, you know, i was just thinking about how..." "You know when something seems so right," "You know, so good that it's..." "It's probably too right, too good." "You know, like any minute now, something's gonna go bad," "You know, 'cause it's always that way." "Like, you're waiting for the other shoe to drop." "Shoe to drop, exactly." "Yeah." "Well, i mean, look," "Sometimes people feel like they're jinxed, right?" "Or somehow are destined for failure" "Just because they have had some bad breaks," "And then they focus in on those bad breaks," "And suddenly, the bad breaks are everywhere," "But they forget about everything in life" "That is wonderful and magical." "Magical?" "What's going on in that pretty head of yours?" "Nothing." "Okay, something." "Yeah?" "What?" "I love you." "I love you, too." "Hello?" "Slow down there, tiger, i'm coming." "One?" "No." "Actually, i was wondering" "If you could help me with something." "Sure, five bucks." " Seriously?" " Uh-Huh." " Okay, i was wondering..." " Upfront." "All right, five bucks." "Thank you." "Uh, okay, have you seen this guy in here?" " I think so." " No, no, wait." "Have you seen this guy in here with somebody else?" "Oh, jealous boyfriend?" "No." "Are you some kind of like weird stalker or something?" "No, i'm not a stalker." "I'm just a friend." "Okay, let me see this." "Oh, you guys are cute." "Are you the top?" "I bet you're the top, right?" "Like the pitcher." "Why does everybody keep asking me that?" "No." "Anyway, i'm looking for my friend, okay?" "Have you seen him in here with like a girl" "Or with anybody, somebody?" "You know what we could do?" "We could check the security camera footage" " For the last week." " Oh, that's great." " Right?" " Yeah." " You're not gonna do that, are you?" " Not a chance." " Okay, all right." " Security camera." " Idiot!" " Great service." "Thanks a lot." "Can't wait to come back." "Security cameras." "Tyler?" "That's fair." "Hmm." "Hey, asshole, it's a sofa." "Just give me a minute, will you?" "Well, it's cool if you don't want it." "Smells kind of farty, dude." "Well, that's probably from me dog." "You don't have a dog." "Well, then it's probably from me then." "Ugh." "I need some time to think about it." "What..." "What is that?" "I've been looking for that." "Cheers, mate." "So how's things with your lady friend then?" "Yeah, they're all right." "Maybe." "I don't know, man, have you ever wonder" "If a crazy person knows that they're a crazy person?" "Or do they just like think everyone around them is crazy?" "Well, isn't crazy kind of a relative thing?" "I mean, maybe you think it's crazy" "To smear peanut butter all over your balls" "And have a dog lick it off," "Or maybe you don't think it's crazy." "I'm talking like crazy, crazy, man." "Like, you know, "a homeless guy talking to a mailbox," "Eating his own poop" crazy, you know?" "Well, that's extreme." "Basically, everyone is kind of crazy." "It's a crazy world, dude." "We all do what we have to do to survive." "Yeah, i guess you're right." "But no, no, the homeless fella" "He doesn't think he's crazy." "Hungry maybe." "Ah, you a sick guy." "Someone's gotta be." "That's funny, man." "So, uh, those guys really liked my work." "That's great." "Yeah, they loved my coffee campaign," "And then they gave me the entire writing" "For the whole line of products." "Well, i'm not surprised." "That's, uh... awesome." "It is, it is, for sure." "But..." "Long hours?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "But, um..." "In chicago." "Well, that's a hell of a commute?" "You could, uh..." "Come with." "I don't know." "I know, it's so cliche, right?" "Like, "and i could pay for everything, sweetheart."" "No, it's not cliche." "It's just, you know, you know, chicago?" "The windy city?" "This all just..." "I don't even know if you're..." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Just... just..." "what about just a maybe?" "Yes." "Maybe." "Remember when tyler said that we were a boring couple?" "Oh, come on, hey, don't take his shit and make it about us." "You don't think that was just, like, a little bit true?" "If you mean by boring" "That we haven't hallucinated another person," "Then, yeah, we're boring." "No, i mean, that i don't think that it looks like" "That we're in love anymore." "Looks like to who?" "We're great." "We're great, babe." "I know, but we don't..." "We don't have sex that often, okay?" "And we don't ever do, like, make-Out stuff." "Ever." "I mean, are you even still attracted to me?" "What?" "Yes." "This is crazy." "You're gorgeous." "I'm constantly in various stages of arousal when i'm with you." "No, no, no, wanting to bone me" "And being attracted to me" "Are two totally different things, okay?" "Because guys wanna bone, like, half the planet," "But who do you really wanna, you know," "Caress their face and look into their eyes?" "I wanna caress you and i wanna look into your eyes" "And bone you at the same time." "Are you getting filled?" "Oh, that's gross." "What kind of crazy asshole would say something like that?" "My kind of crazy asshole." "I'm gonna come over there." "And i'm gonna do something right here." " Are you sure you can handle this?" " Oh, i can handle it." "I will show you how i drive a stick shift." "And then later," "We're gonna do something with these." " Oh, come over here." " Get ready for that." "Get over here." "Get over here." "Feels good."
