Me and Carlos are gonna go over

to Trill to get some.

I don't drink.

You best check your cologne,

because you smell like you drink.

Evenin'.

Don't call me whore in the morning

Don't call me baby when you want me

in your bed

Then you leave me

at 4:
00 in the morning

I should have kicked you

in the balls instead

Then you tell me that you're sorry

And that the girl that I saw you at

the Walmart with wasn't anybody...

Hey, man, I didn't think

you were gonna make it.

Yeah, what you drinkin'?

I'm gonna get a Mustang Wheat.

No lemon.

Wheat?

But I talked to your cousin

and she told me that that girl is a whore

You're a whore!

She's the whore! She's the whore!

Don't call me whore in the morning

Don't call me baby when you want me...

So what's your story anyway, man?

I mean,

why you paintin' houses? And don't

give me that sh*t about NASA again.

All right, promise you won't tell?

I'm in the witness protection program.

I fingered Gotti.

Fine. Don't tell me.

I don't give a sh*t. Dick.

As a reminder not to date a**holes

And throw my life away

I'm not the whore!

You're the whore! You're the whore!

Thank you.

Okay! That was... That was Peaches.

Thank you, Peaches.

Next we have Nic Harvard.

Nic! Come on up!

It was a long, long time ago

and far, far away

I guess you could say it was

like every other day

Found myself on broken streets

wanderin' around

Lookin' for a place

that I can lay my troubles down

Hey, stranger.

You're not really gonna

stroll up acting like

we're running into

one another at the mall?

This is gonna be one of those

moments where no matter what I say,

it's wrong, isn't it?

Tell me, Sam, how should I be acting?

What is the appropriate tone

for having to track down

your ex-husband who's hiding out

two and a half hours away on a boat?

I'm not hiding.

- You're not hiding?

- What do you want, Em?

Your signature.

I'm putting the house on the market.

And I'm here. And I'm tired.

And I have a long drive ahead of me.

Could've forged it.

You're right, I could've.

Maybe I was worried about you.

- Should I be worried?

- I'm fine.

Come on, I'm livin' the dream.

On a boat.

It's marked everywhere

I need a signature.

His name's Phillip.

Wow. Okay. Yeah.

He's 11 months old.

That's fantastic.

He is a miracle.

A $200,000 miracle,

but he is a beautiful, healthy boy.

We're moving to Tulsa.

Tom's dad isn't doing so well.

That's great.

I mean, I'm sorry.

And I finally decided

to let go of a few things.

I saved this for you.

Music was always you guys' thing.

I couldn't even open the boxes.

Hold on, I don't have room for that.

- What do you mean?

- Like, the boat. It's not big enough.
