They just got back.

I had to wait for them

to check on me.

Why is he all up

in your business so much?

- Because he's f***ing annoying.

- Hmm.

[Laughs]

Come on, we only have

a couple of hours, let's go.

- You sure you're ready for this?

- Oh!

[WOMAN ON TELEVISION]

As soon as conflict arises,

they mutually calm one another.

And some will even provoke

just so they can get

a bit of comfort.

And that's the total?

That's the total

that's before I pay

the mortgage for next month?

[SIGHS] All right, well,

I guess give

give the realtor my number.

Well done.

Your best work in 10 years.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

[JAMES] I'm barely paying

my mortgage as it is.

[WOMAN] I am so sorry, sweetie.

Art programs are always

the first to go.

[MAN] They're also reducing

music positions,

foreign language positions

and eliminating

all the after-school

art programs altogether.

God damn bastards

and their budget cuts.

James, I'm so sorry.

These kind of cuts

are absolutely infuriating.

It boils my blood to think

that they're actually happening.

I need a cigarette.

Really, I'm so sorry.

F*** this, I'm losing James.

I don't know if this

is something

you would even consider,

but seeing since

you are from Buffalo,

I figured I'd bring it up.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy. [CHUCKLES]

Let me finish before

you huff and puff.

Go ahead.

An old colleague of mine is

on the board at Buffalo State.

We spoke the other day,

and she mentioned a position

in their art program that may

become available,

like, next semester.

What kind of position,

teaching position?

Well, no,

you'd be cleaning the brushes.

- Okay.

- Yes, you would be teaching art

to university students,

nonetheless.

So if you would like,

I could put in a word

on your behalf.

I mean, Christ,

I couldn't wait to get out

of that place fast enough

when I was younger.

Right about now, I'd say beggars

can't be choosers.

[SIGHS]

What do I got to lose?

- Gas chromatograph!

- Two words:
micro-brewery.

I love having a bank

on every corner.

- I'll see you in court.

- It is the original absinthe recipe.

So, uh

what do you do?

Well, as of today,

I'm unemployed.

Oh. Sh*t.

I'm sorry to hear that.

That sucks.

It does suck, yeah.

Well, what um

what did you do?

As in why did I get fired?

[CHUCKLES]

No, what was your job?

My job was teaching art.

What university?

The University of PSU 34.

Oh. Right.

So you taught little kids.

Made like collages and sh*t?

That's cute.

Yeah, collages and sh*t.

It keeps them from pissing

themselves. [CHUCKLES]

What is his problem?

Is he always an a**hole?

He's actually a really

brilliant painter.

Really?
