tongue of yours.

[PERCUSSION]

When you forced my legs

into your giant mouth,

clamped down,

with your rock-like teeth

onto my waist and twirled around

in circles, I admit

I was concerned.

But I never

ever stopped loving you.

(claps)

I win!

[BELL DINGS]

- [Paula] What are

you gonna get?

- [Dan] I'm not hungry.

- Oh, I know.

I know.

[sighs]

- I had a dream about

Kevin last night.

- It's so weird, I spend more

time with him now than I...

did when he was alive.

- What was the dream about?

- We just sat up all

night talking.

(chuckles)

It was so good.

I...

felt like it went on

for hours and hours

and it seemed so real

but at the same time, I was,

I was very aware

that it was a dream.

And that,

that made it

that made it nice because

I was able to tell him,

you know,

how much I miss him.

Because, oh my God,

I miss you brother

so much.

- Oh flip. (sniffs)

[MUSIC]

- But...

one of his hands, uh,

was a lobster claw.

- (laughs)

- And it spewed

a strange lobster ooze.

- (laughs) Shut up.

- [Dan] But in the

dream it was fine.

He touched my face

with his oozy lobster claw and

wiped it all over my pants

- and I was fine with it.

- (Paula laughs)

I wonder what it means.

- (laughs)

- [Waitress] Do you

know what you want?

- Yes. I would like

a grilled Swiss on rye,

an order of fries, and

a hot tea.

- And you?

- I'll just have coffee please.

- Nothing else?

- Uh...

I will...

the golden brown waffle.

- I'll be back with your drinks.

- (chuckles)

- God damn it, why did I just--

I just ordered a waffle, Paula.

I don't want a waffle.

[WATCH BEEPING]

I'm so

terrible under pressure.

Something's wrong with

my insurance.

I couldn't get my drugs today.

- What's wrong with

your insurance?

now I get to go down there

and try to figure out

what the problem is.

I hate that place.

It's so depressing.

- Maybe you should go

to a support group.

- Because...

I just said the

word "depressing"?

- It's just that I am the

only one you talk with

about this.

- Oh I see.

I see, I see where we are.

I'm a burden.

I'm a burden for you.

- I just think it,

it might be healthy

to open up about this

a little more.

- I got it. Open up.

Sure.

Well, thank you.

I appreciate this gesture.

- I don't mind talking

about it with you.

- But I'm fine.

- Come on, let's talk about it.

- No.

- Come on.

- I don't want to talk about it.

Or anything else with

you ever again.

- Would you cut it out?

- (mumbles)

- (sighs)

- (mumbles)

- Fine.

- What are you reading?

- Thank you.

[SPOON TAPPING

ON PLATE]

What are you doing?

- Well I don't have

a fork, do I?

So, this is fine.

- I'm getting you a fork, uh.
