Well, he just needs to realize

that life isn't always fair, man.

Believe me, I know.

Come on, now, just what part...

...of your magnificent life

are you whining about now?

What are you talking about, man?

I'm getting screwed

by the divorce lawyers.

Well, B, you act

like you don't know why.

You getting screwed

because you a hound.

- I'm not a hound.

- You get more tail than a public toilet.

True, but with Fiona,

I was always faithful.

I mean, I may have browsed,

but I never bought.

- You never bought?

- I never bought.

- Never bought?

- Never.

What about the Thai massages

you like to get?

All right, so what?

I bought once or twice.

See, that's your problem, man.

Me, personally, I don't browse,

I don't buy.

I keep my eyes straight ahead.

I'm focused.

I don't see nothing else.

I even turned in my player card.

Yeah, man, I feel you.

Clarice has radar.

She can even see my eyes moving

behind my sunglasses.

You wanna know what I do,

though?

When I wake up,

I just tell Vanessa sorry.

I don't care if I did anything.

I tell her sorry.

I tell her sorry

about 10 times a day. Why?

Because if I do something,

I already apologized.

She has nothing to say.

Makes her happy.

And a happy wife equals what?

A happy husband.

That isn't living.

That's just breathing.

Hey, I tell you what.

I'm not the one losing my big screen.

And why is the chair so low?

Put it so I can use the machine, Brock.

- Julie, Julie. That's my girl.

- Who's that?

- My girl, Julie.

- Dave.

And the guy at the front desk

says she's single.

So am I.

Well, almost.

Tell me why you walked over here.

What are you even looking at?

This is not our ballpark.

We're focusing, Brock.

Eyes on the prize.

I got my eyes on the prize.

Hey, looking good. Keep going.

Keep pushing, Bryson. Don't quit.

Keep pushing, buddy.

Last half lap.

Push to the end, Bryson.

Finish strong, buddy. Kick it.

Good. Good job, buddy.

Great heat, baby.

How did that feel, Bryson?

Good, I guess.

Feel that good?

New record.

Remember to count your strokes so

you know when you're near the wall.

You see that scar?

No accidents.

- Sorry, coach, I forgot that time.

- All right.

Now, with the regional finals

coming up, what would you say...

...if I included your freestyle

in the 400 medley?

It's the 14-year-olds,

but I want you to start steering...

...toward the Junior Olympics

for next year.

I'll take that as a yes.

- We're gonna get some pizza.

- I'm so excited.

- Mom, stop, it's embarrassing.

- Why? I'm excited.

You just cleaned the clocks

of a bunch of high school freshmen.

Baby, you awake?

I am now.

Are you drunk?
