"Give us a shot of whiskey."

And the guy says, "$25."

Who is it?

It's Colin.

Come on in, Colin.

Jeez, mate. Expecting

someone else, were you?

God, I was hoping somebody

else was there besides you.

Damn, look at this outfit you got on.

What's this with the

jeans and everything?

What's wrong with it?

I mean, we're going out

someplace nice to eat dinner.

- We ought to dress a little better.

- It's just a hotel restaurant.

- Yeah, but it's still a nice one.

- It's not black tie.

Yeah, but, you know, you've got business

casual, you've got resort casual.

And now, with those jeans...

all you need's the bibs,

you have coal-miner casual.

You sound just like my kid.

He's always having a go

at me to dress up better.

You know, if I feel comfortable

in the way I dress...

then I am much happier,

and I have a better time.

How old is Michael these days?

He's about to turn 34.

Are you ready?

Oh, I'm just about ready here. Just gotta

come down there and finish my beer.

I noticed you bought beer.

Yeah, I went to the supermarket,

tried to save a couple nickels...

but hell, it's almost as

expensive in the supermarket...

as it is downstairs in the bar.

- My friend, you are not drinking beer.

- What do you mean?

Well, hardly.

It's 2 percent alcohol.

Two percent alcohol?

Balls.

Well, what do you think

about your order?

- I'm happy about it. We'll see.

- The more I've been thinking...

I wish I'd got what you got.

Well, I was thinking the

steak looked pretty good.

Yeah, but you know about steaks.

It's like p*ssy.

As long as it's nice and

juicy, it's wonderful...

and when it's dry,

it ain't worth a damn.

- I'm trying to eat more fish.

- Damn. You too.

Man, I'm getting that crap from one

of my sons, big time, you know?

Yeah, which one?

J.P. He's wanting me to eat fish...

so I'll be healthier and live

longer and all that stuff.

How are the boys? They all good?

You know, it's amazing.

They're all different.

I got one that's gay.

I got one that lives in Berlin.

I got one that converted to Judaism.

And I got one that's a regular.

I'm sorry...

that I haven't kept in

touch with the family.

Do you see Edith Ann? Do you

talk to her? You see her any?

Never.

I haven't seen her

since Patricia's funeral.

Well, that's something

that I owe you...

lots and lots and lots

of apologies for.

I wish I could've been there for you.

I knew about it.

But I just felt like, maybe me

staying away was the best thing.
