Hey, Drazan... give it here!

Yup!

Bisley 1, b*tch ex-girlfriend: 0!

What the f*** are you doing?

What's eating you?

Pick up that glass now!

Or what, Lover Boy?

Relax, man. He didn't mean it.

I don't care.

He broke it, he'll pick it up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I say let the cards decide.

Four rounds of poker.

If the big guy wins,

you make like a cleaning lady

and pick up the glass.

- And if I win?

- We'll think of something.

Hmm.

The Pecks' world-famous

crpe with cream and...

And?

And I spoke with Lenny

about the job.

That's great news.

They have a repossession

in our building tomorrow.

His boss said I can try out.

Wow, the Peck boys

riding together.

I'm telling you,

if I were 20 years younger,

I would quit my job

and come work with you.

Imagine, the three of us

in a van together.

- Well, it's only a try-out.

- I'm sure you'll do great, partner.

I ordered this book today,

about the meaning of life.

- The catalogue says...

- How much was it?

$9.99

- That's pretty cheap for nothing.

- You haven't even read it.

And I thought your mom

was the only one in the world

who believed in those catalogues.

And look where it got her.

Where?

I don't know.

You'd think she'd

at least send a postcard.

Ah, it's from the Gas Company.

Hello.

Good day.

I'm calling

for Quick-Pulse Surveys.

Do you have time

to answer a few questions?

Quick-Pulse?

That's a beautiful name.

Thank you, Sir.

Albert.

My name is Albert Kweller.

Okay.

Mr. Kweller,

how often do you travel?

Overseas or domestic?

Either.

Oh, I'm sorry,

I'm not much of a traveler.

The last time I left home

was 41 years ago.

Are the rest of your questions

about traveling, too?

I'm afraid so.

My wife

could have answered all of them.

She really loved traveling

and hiking and dancing.

Me... I can't hold a rhythm...

But my wife... well, you

should have seen her dance!

You can't, of course.

She died.

Hit by a tram.

The driver cried like a baby.

They took his tram license

off him for life.

Well, not that it matters...

They don't use trams anymore.

Well... I'm sorry

to have bothered you.

No, no.

You didn't bother me.

I really liked talking to you.

I'm a jerk, I'm a jerk, I'm a jerk.

Another round?

No more cards.

I meant beer.

Check out the hot chick on TV!

First Bank.

When it comes to banks, think First,

because life doesn't give you

a second chance.

Put the gun down!

No, don't!

I'm sorry.

I thought you were asleep.

I was.

- I had a bad dream.

- What did you dream about?

Bad things.

Enough of those

to go around lately.

Good night, son.

Dad...

Don't you ever ask yourself...

- ...about life?

- You're a good boy, Dave.
