Have you seen Lucy recently?

Yes, she came over for dinner,

we watched some TV on Sunday.

What'd you watch?

You wanna know what we watched on television?

I haven't seen Lucy in a long time.

Call her.

She doesn't want me to call her.

Don't do that.

I don't blame her.

You should call her.

I've got something I wanna tell you.

I'm gonna make a movie.

Dad.

You look good out there.

Remember when we used to play?

What are you doing here?

I mean, how did you know I was here?

Your mother told me.

I was in the neighborhood, and I just...

How's work going?

Still waiting tables at that steakhouse?

I liked that place.

I work for Google.

Oh.

Wow.

Yeah.

What's up?

Oh.

I guess it's been a while, huh?

Yeah.

You look the same though.

That's good, I guess.

I was thinking, uh...

I'm getting this lifetime

achievement award thing, and uh...

it's no big deal but,

I was thinking maybe you'd like

to go with me to the ceremony.

When is it?

Sunday.

This Sunday?

I'm going to Palm Springs

with Jake. I can't cancel.

Right.

Okay.

How about dinner when you get back?

My treat. You pick the place, time, whatever.

I'm free Tuesday.

Charlotte, right?

Got a good memory for an old pot-head.

A sad old pot-head.

Why did you say that anyway?

Um, because you're old

and you smoke a lot of weed.

I mean, the part about me being sad.

I don't know.

Are you?

Nothing wrong with that.

Are you married?

Divorced. Have been for a long time.

So are you gonna ask for my number?
