Get you set up

for tomorrow morning, before

I have to catch a plane.

We'll see how much you get done over the weekend.

If you need me I'll be at the San Francisco Ritz.

- Try not need me.

- Good.

So, how's, uh, ten bucks an hour sound?

Fourteen sounds better.

Or twelve... twelve could work, too...

eith-either way.

I would have paid you twenty.

Get off me! Don't touch me!

Get off me! No, get off me!

Well, OK.

See your later.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Really?

I'm sorry, sir. You don't have the

appropriate sticker for this lot.

I just rented a slip here.

Well, there should be no problem

for me to confirm your ID.

Just doin' my job here.

Sorry, that guy's a bit of a joke around here.

He takes his job a little too seriously.

Hey, I'll tell you what, I prefer that over lazy.

- Sign that for me.

- Mm-hm.

As the Captain of the Lake Lure

Emergency Security Detail...

I'd like to welcome you to the waterfront, sir.

Thank you, Captain.

Take the slack out.

Alright.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Yeah.

- How'd you get all this?

- What?

- I don't know, the house, the Jag...

- The wife?

Money and good looks. Come on!

Yeah. You know, it's simple.

It all comes down to risk.

When other investors don't have the stones to buy,

say, a... I don't know, a high risk property, or

or a company... I do.

Yeah.

In fact, when you feel your

pulse, really start to race...

that's when you gotta step up.

Know what I mean?

- Are you alright?

- It's there. Just there.

Can you please just take care of it?

There we go.

- What? You're just gonna let go?

- Well, I wasn't planning on prosecuting.

Dead. I'm gonna... fix this.

Yeah, I think I jammed it. Elliot's gonna kill me.

Come on. Come on.

Y'know, sometimes you just have to... push in.

Hmm! You got a lot of experience with that?

- Umm.

- You're a lifesaver.

Good thing you're next door.

I, uh... glad to be there.

Alright! A friggin' spider?

Yeah, by the end she was

practically sitting in my lap.

- Exactly.

- She was in here the other night.

Man!

But that husband of hers... he seems

a little loose around the pegs.

Why, what'd he do?

He gave Danny a death glare,

just for talking to her.

Freaked him out.

What? Danny's huge!

Yeah, man. But this guy looks

like he would hit a child.

I'm just sayin'. Hey, hey... watch your sh*t.

'Cause if he finds out that his lonely,

sex-starved wife, is givin' you a lap dance...

Uh-uhh.

Oh. You got such a pretty smile. It's not gonna

look like that when he's done with you.

Hey.

- Hey.

- I didn't want to wake your parents.

It occured to me, I don't think we

met all the way. You're Doug, right?
