McCa.

That is what happens

when you fly by the seat

of your pants first class.

Boom!

So, how was your night?

My night?

My night was awesome.

I watched House Hunters

and went to bed.

You watched what?

House Hunters?

Oh, man. Never mind.

(chuckles)

All right, you want that guitar?

Should I wrap that up for you?

How much is that one

over there?

Don't be ridiculous.

That's a limited edition.

I'm not even sure

I'd be willing to sell that.

I tell you what though.

I'll trade you for the L6.

(scoffs) Are you kidding me?

(chuckles)

It's just a thought.

Dude, I've had that guitar

my whole life.

It's like trading

my wife and kids.

You know what?

Just give me

the dinosaur one.

Yeah.

I'll get you a strap.

It's fine.

Sorry, man.

There he is.

Perry Miller,

ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you so much

for joining us, Perry.

Only 30 minutes late.

No big deal.

Can I get you anything?

Any coffee?

How about a doughnut?

Let me run out and get you

a buttered bagel.

I had to pick up

Salome's guitar.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

That's cool.

It's always something

with you, man.

It must be nice

to be you.

Are you cool?

I'm great.

Thanks for being early.

Terrific.

Hey.

Yeah?

You're a great brother.

(rock intro)

Nothing ever happens

Nothing ever happens here

Nothing ever happens today

Today, today, today

(continues)

Things are fragile inside

I'm fragile, I'm fragile

(continues)

Nothing every happens

Nothing ever happens

Hey, man.

Hey, what's up?

We gotta talk.

Okay. What's up?

I had a guy come in

and say that you

recommended ammonia

for his marble countertops.

Why would

you do that?

Maybe because

I don't have anything

that has marble in it.

Okay, this is our business,

and we're supposed to be experts

on every product in the store.

That's how it works.

Experts?

Experts.

Give me a break.

Perry, I'm being serious

right now, okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Honestly, we have

a real problem.

And we're gonna have

to talk about it.

What are we gonna do about this?

Do we have

to do this now?

We have to do it now.

Please don't push me, okay?

And stop walking away

when I'm talking to you.

Hey, did you know

today's my birthday?

(scoffs) Come on, your birthday?

Birthdays

are for kids, Perry.

I know.

It's just--

Dude, never mind.

How old are you?

Forty.

Okay, well, happy birthday.

It's great.

(scoffs)

What are you gonna do?

You gonna hang out?

You gonna party tonight?

Karen forgot.

She forgot?

That sucks.

You forgot too.

No, I didn't. I thought

it was tomorrow or--

(scoffs)

I could call her.

You want me to call her?

No.

She's got enough

on her plate.

Don't say anything.
