"He certainly is." "Hey, can we talk?" "I'm not really in the mood." "Uh..." "He's been shouting for years " "I was watching that." "Okay, so, now you're not watching it." "Look, I know why you're upset." "You've been harping about it for the last few months." "The baby thing." "Oh, we do not have to get into that right now." "Actually, we do." "We do." "Look, you never knew my dad." "Okay." "He was -- he was a bitter, angry man who was always worried that there wasn't enough to go around." "I-I don't want to live like that." "And money..."

"I totally get it." "You -- you do?" "Of course." "I'm not that clueless." "How much?" "For the air conditioner." "How much?" "Oh, uh..." "[ Chuckles ] You know what?" "It's alright, don't worry about it." "It's, uh..." "It's on me." "No, I-I can't let you do that." "No, I-I want to." "Evan, it's way too generous, especially without you having a job." "You know what?" "I-I don't want your money." "I better get going." "Oh, uh, check your freezer when you get a chance." "[ Chuckles ]" "[ Birds chirping ]" "Riley, um..." "I meant what I said, okay?"

"I just figured out a way around the system." "You know -- help my guys help themselves, if you know what I mean." "Now, I call that getting creative." "Wish I would have thought of it." "[ Laughter ] Jolene!" "Grab a drink before these lushes drink it all." "Actually, Riley, there's someone here to see you." "Did you come for another fight?" "'Cause I don't think I have it in me." "No." "I came here because..." "Dale wants to have a baby." "Lacey, that is great news." "It is." "But you want to know the first thing I thought of when Dale told me?"

"Yes, you can." "You can take it, and you can quit." "Lacey, I know that you're gonna find this hard to believe but I like my job." "I do." "Something happens in those rooms." "I-I listen to these guys, and I help them with their problems." "Sometimes -- sometimes, it gets physical." "But for the most part, it is something much more important than that."
