Dark Horse Page #2

So sorry. I forgot

you were coming by. Really.

Oh, really. Don't worry about it. I

had some stuff to do in the area.

Really? What?

Uh, just some things

I had to check out, you know.

No. What?

Nothing interesting,

really. Work stuff.

Oh, okay.

Well, make yourself at home.

Um, sit down.

I'll be right back.

No problemo.

So what do you do for a living?

Got a company.

Work in real estate.

Property management,

commercial developments.

You mean, like all

those strip malls?

Mm-hmm.

Where there used to be parks

and mom-and-pop stores.

How'd you get into

that line of work?

My dad.

- You work for your dad?

- Yeah, but

he wouldn't have hired me

if I weren't up to the job.

He interviewed a lot

of people, so...

It's not like

it's nepotism or anything.

[Male on TV] That's inevitably causing

a buildup of the greenhouse gases.

Effectively, you can

say carbon dioxide

is about a third higher

in the atmosphere

than it was in pre-industrial

times, and it's just growing...

I really like the way you

named your dog "dog."

It's so ironic.

No, thanks.

I used to smoke.

It helps me relax.

Exactly. That's

why I smoked.

Then I started thinking

about cancer.

A friend of mine from high

school got testicular cancer.

Lost both his testicles.

Can never be a father now.

I mean, I guess he could adopt,

but it's not the same.

Not that I'm

anti-adoption.

[Sighing]

Sometimes, you know,

I feel like

I was born in the wrong time.

Like, if I was born

a hundred years ago,

I'd probably already be

married with five kids?

You could have a really

low sperm count.

I don't think so.

Why are you so sure?

I had myself tested,

just in case.

Two points.

[Can rattling]

You a giants fan?

Follow the super bowl?

- No.

- Yeah, but,

in general, are you more into

front runners or dark horses?

I kind of see myself

as a front runner mentality,

but then, I like to play on

my dark horse qualities.

Just strategically,

if you know what I mean.

When's your birthday?

January 30th.

Interesting.

Why?

We met on September 30th.

Yeah?

Well, a lot of people will tell you

there's no meaning to dates and numbers,

but I'll tell you something,

they're wrong.

And it has nothing

to do with astrology,

which is, like, total bullshit.

"What's your sign? I'm

a gemini." No, no, no.

It has to do with the dates

and numbers themselves.

Why?

Because they mean something.

What's the meaning?

Takes time to figure out,

but it's there.

And it matters.

Kind of like in the kabbalah,

only not the Madonna kind.

Trust me, dates and numbers

have to be right.

Okay.

Miranda, I have

something I wanna say.

- What?

- I know this might
