what I would have normally.

That's $100.

It's very simple.

It wouldn't take even

much of your time.

We would be home soon

after midnight.

Are you there?

Yes, um...

Okay.

I think I can do it.

Oh, thank goodness.

You're saving me.

And I promise to make this

as painless for you as possible.

That's okay.

I can always use the money.

Of course.

Let me give you the address.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Thanks for the ride.

I'm just your monkey

with a cigarette.

Okay.

The whole kit and caboodle

kicks off tonight

just after 10:
30.

I know it's late

for some of you folks,

but stay up.

It's worth it.

Be sure to find a good spot

where you can see the sky.

Ugh.

I'm so sick of hearing

about that stupid eclipse.

It's, like, all anybody

can ever talk about.

They're like, "Oh, gosh.

"Are you gonna go see

the eclipse tonight? Buh."

Oh, God.

You know, it's not like

the moon's gonna explode.

Although that would be

pretty cool.

So do you want me

to come with you?

I don't have to see

Mark tonight.

He hates me anyway.

No, it's okay.

But I feel a little weird,

you know,

just dropping you out here

in, like,

in the middle of Jabib

or wherever we are.

I mean, I had to look at a map.

Well, don't worry.

I'm gonna be fine.

Okay.

Okay, but I have

to tell you something.

But you got to promise that

you're not gonna get mad at me.

What?

All right,

you can't get mad at me.

You got to promise.

- No.

- No-

I don't even know

what it is yet.

God-okay.

Where did you get these?

I'm sorry.

You were upset, and I felt bad.

Megan.

I know, I know.

I'm sorry.

But look, like,

it was-it was like,

he was such a jerk

for standing you up.

Yes, he was.

And you were super bummed out.

You were.

And, like, we had

a really good idea.

And I know that you

weren't gonna do it,

so I had to do it, man.

And I didn't know

he was gonna call you.

How could I have known that?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Well, now I know why

I got the job.

Nobody else called.

Just please let me

stay with you.

Please let me stay with you.

I will be so good.

I won't touch anything

or eat their food.

I won't take your money.

I just-well, I'll be there,

and we'll, like, hang out.

All right, okay.

I heard you the first 50 times.

Can I come, then?

Let's just wait

and see how it goes.

They could be nice.

You don't know.

No, I do know.

Normal people do not pull

the kind of stuff

that those people

pulled with you today.

They just don't.

Look who's talking.

That's different.

People make mistakes.

It happens.

I mean, hey, they live

all the way out here

in the country.

So they're at least

normal enough

to have real jobs
