I understand.

Charlie's...

Charlie is not the guy

that I married.

Well, we all change

somewhat, no?

Yeah, I know,

but, god, why me?

I mean, a bus, a robbery,

an accident.

But Lyme disease?

Hey, look,

you're not the one

who has Lyme disease, right?

Smile.

Okay.

Next.

Enjoy yourself now,

dick weed.

Fartlett.

Okay, look at the birdie.

Look at me.

I will f***ing destroy you

there, blue eyes.

Today I'm gonna shove

a telephone pole

so far up your bung...

come on.

Give me a smile.

I think Blaze Salado

is into me.

Whatever.

Well, what do you think

I should do?

I mean, he's so mint.

But I don't know.

His real name isn't Blaze.

It's something really dorky

like Barry.

Hey, Fartlett.

We need to talk.

- We do?

- Yeah.

Unless you're too scared.

No, I'm not scared.

Get over here,

you little dick.

Nice suit, Fartlett.

What do you want?

I see your n*gger-rich daddy

driving all over town

in his Porsche,

and I want some money

for my own, okay?

Todd, what the f***?

Let him go.

You're such an animal.

- $20 every friday.

Oh, you're a motherf***er.

Get the f*** over here.

Get the f*** over here.

F*** over here.

Add $20, ass wipe.

A**hole loser.

Slutty whore.

Scott, are...

are you okay?

Do you want me

to call your mom or something?

No, I'm fine.

Well, how are you

gonna get home?

Jesus, just get

the f*** out of here.

Well, I'm just saying I can

call your mom if you want.

She can bring you an ice pack

or some yoo-hoo or something.

Just... what the f***

is wrong with you?

Just go.

Fine.

I missed the fricking bus.

This is the best birthday

present I could possibly get.

But in your letter,

you said

that you wouldn't be here

till next week.

I mean, I've got it...

look, right here.

It's okay.

Ma, I know. I know.

I got out a week early.

I just forgot to call

is all, okay?

Okay, you know, I just...

I... you know me.

I like to be prepared.

You know,

I wouldn't have made that.

Oh, honey, you look so thin,

you know, like you got

rickets in your bones.

I mean, what do

they feed you there?

Um, pretty much

this kind of stuff.

- Oh, god almighty.

- I'm sorry.

No, it's great. I love it.

It's great. Thank you.

Mm, before I left,

my commanding officer told me

I might be activated

because of the Falklands,

so basically I'm here

till told otherwise.

Ooh, the Balkan Islands.

I saw that on TV.

Balkan, Falkland.

Hello?

Hi, honey. Hi.

Guess who.

Yeah, where is

the little sh*t?

R2-d2, is that really you?

Jim.

- Hey, Jim.

- Hey.

Oh, you got big.

No, no, no, okay, you know,

I mean, uh, mature,

like, uh...

like a little lady.

Yeah, you look good too.
