Hey, Jimmy.

Great. Thank you.

Pack of smokes?

Please.

How you doing, Mel?

I'm all right.

I miss your ass.

Is it still fat?

Shut up, Justin.

Watch it, guy.

Don't worry, Jimmy.

I got it.

I'll be outside if you need me.

Keep the change.

Thanks, Jimmy.

Bye, Jimmy.

If you don't leave

and leave now,

I will knock you on the head

and tell God you died.

Can I get the bathroom key?

No.

How can I help you, sir?

Is this all you have?

That's it.

This will have to do.

All right.

Mmm.

Mnh, mnh.
