Okay.

Just drop it.

Promise you

won't say anything.

I'm not gonna say anything.

All right.

If the lecture's over,

I gotta go finish working.

Look, you know

what I think? I think

you should take the day off.

Blow off some steam,

find your buddies, throw

a little party for yourself.

Nah.

I was about to put this

in the safe.

I want you to take

some of this money.

Two, three...

What is that?

It's $500.

I'm not taking that.

Yeah, you are.

You're actually

gonna take a thousand.

That's a thousand.

And please, Perry,

get it out of your system.

I don't want this.

Yes, take it.

I'm tired of you

loafing around this place.

You're late all the time.

Your hair's a mess.

You-- You look like a goblin.

You don't know

jack sh*t about hardware

or the stuff we sell.

Oh, yes, I do.

That's so not true.

Okay, what do we have

in aisle ten?

Aisle ten?

Yeah.

Soap.

Soap?

Yeah, like dish soap.

Wrong.

Um, wait. Um, hoses.

No. Uh, shovels.

Wrong.

I know this. Hold on.

It's like sink stuff.

Okay, look,

there is no aisle ten.

All the aisles

are lettered.

I knew that.

It's been like that

from the beginning.

I thought you meant

something else.

Do me a favor.

Enjoy your birthday.

Blow it out.

Then it's over.

Okay? You got it?

All right. Happy birthday.

Oh, and we don't sell

dish soap.

It's a hardware store.

(line ringing)

Gary here.

You know what to do.

(line beeps)

Gary. What's up, man?

It's Perry. How's it going?

Hey, today's

my birthday, man.

Um, and I'm thinking

about having a party,

like a daytime

blowout kinda party.

So-- Yeah, dude, um,

as soon as you get this, or--

I'll call you back.

As soon as I get a location,

I'll call you back.

It's gonna be sick. Bye.

(rock intro)

I was sick

I was losing my mind

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Couldn't make it,

so I told her why

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

(continues)

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Sitting all alone in my room

Shootin' up some glue

And too crazy to do

Whoo!

All right

(ends)

-Hello.

-One moment, please, sir.

All right.

Cucumber water?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks, man.

It's refreshing,

isn't it?

Oh, my God.

It took you

a second.

I know. Christy, what's up?

Hi!

How are you?

Um, I'm-- I'm good.

You look good.

(scoffs)

Well, I don't know.

Uh-- I mean,

how are you?

You look amazing.

Thanks.

Yeah. Wow.

So what the hell's

going on?

Um, nothing.

Just working.

What, like,

or something?

No, I don't work

for the hotel.

I'm just staying here.

I'm just in town.

What about you?
