that you forgot to deposit the money.

I told him the money was still here.

Joe, that's not true. It's in Atlantic City.

I swear.

Shut up, sit down, and don't you move.

- It could be in other cities by now.

- Shut up!

Under no circumstances do I want you

to leave that couch.

Unless it's to get me $9,000.

Then you bring it here to me.

I think it'll be okay.

What makes you think that?

Who knows where thoughts come from?

They just appear.

What a moron.

- Are you Corey Mason?

- For me?

Thank you.

Later.

- 'Bye, thank you.

"To the number one in her class.

Harvard, 1999.

"Make me proud. Love, Daddy."

That's sweet.

God, nothing's ever enough for him.

He didn't mean it like that.

I'm sure he didn't.

Excuse me.

Hi. How are you today?

Hi, Debra.

- She hates me.

- Yeah, she hates me, too.

But I have enough sense to hate her back.

- Good morning, Deb.

- Hi, Deb.

Lucas, are you in trouble?

Did you need the money?

If you are in trouble, you can talk to me.

You know that.

We're all in some kind of trouble.

Am I the only one who sees it?

You know, Deb's in trouble.

- A.J.'s in trouble.

- A.J.'s not in trouble.

And Corey is in trouble.

She's not in trouble.

She's going to Harvard.

Mark's in trouble. Eddie's in trouble...

Hey, I'm the one who's in trouble here.

'Cause every minute that goes by...

and I don't call the cops

I look like a bigger bananahead.

Joe, I can categorically say

that you are not a bigger bananahead.

You screwed me, Lucas.

You know that, right?

What do you want me to do?

- Call Mitchell? Tell him I lied?

- It seems like a viable option.

I swear to God,

if you're fooling with me, I will kill you.

- A.J., I need another closer.

- I opened, man.

Come on. I wouldn't ask...

but I have got no choice.

I can close.

Yeah, I can close. It's cool.

They just raised my rent,

so I could use the money.

Damn the man!

Oh, God, I am in hell!

You think it's possible for someone to be in

love with someone else and not even know it?

In this life,

there are nothing but possibilities.

That's good.

I must tell Corey I love her by 1:37.

That's an excellent time.

You did have hair

when you went in there, right?

It's still in the sink if you want to glue it.

Is it true you committed

the perfect crime?

Not entirely perfect.

You see that, man?

- What's with you today?

- Bad hair day.

No, I mean with this. What is this?

- What happened?

- I went to rock and roll heaven...

and I wasn't on the guest list.

Now please move, I have to go to work.

No. Now you tell me what is going on!

I decided I'd rather kill myself than meet

Rex Manning. Excuse me, I'm going.

Listen to me, this isn't funny.
