I have no other options left

Rejected.

Unknown caller

- Ignore.

Carl. Hey, long time no see.

Nick Lane?

Hey

You don't still work at the bank, do you?

Yeah, kind of why I'm sitting outside here,

eating lunch, wearing the name tag.

You must be running this place by now.

I could have been. I had a couple offers.

I didn't want to get tied down.

How is Stephanie?

- Good God!

She's good.

What have you been doing?

- I've been all over the map man.

I have lived.

I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro.

I ate a bat in Laos.

I shot a cow with a bazooka.

I'm not proud of that last one,

but I did it, man.

Wow, that sounds wild.

- You want to know my secret?

I'm a Yes Man.

The word "Yes" has changed my life. Here.

- No, thanks. I'm fine.

Fine? I wipe my ass with Fine.

- Wow. Okay.

You don't want to work here Carl.

- Yeah I do.

No, you don't.

Why don't you take this rock and throw it

at that bank & shatter the window the window?

No, thanks.

- Ask me if I want to do.

Do you want to throw that rock at the bank?

- Yes

Are you crazy?

- Go to this reunion, Carl.

Stay where you are.

Carl, live your life.

You won't regret it.

The word "Yes" has changed my life. Here.

- No, thanks. I'm fine.

'Fine'? I wipe my ass with 'Fine'.

- Wow. Okay.

You don't want to work here Carl.

- Yeah I do.

No, you don't.

Why don't you take this rock and throw it

at that bank & shatter the window the window?

No, thanks.

- Ask me if I want to do.

Do you want to throw that rock at the bank?

- Yes

Are you crazy?

- Go to this reunion, Carl.

Stay where you are.

Carl, live your life.

You won't regret it!

Unknown caller.

Ignore.

You wanna see my band?

- No.

Sorry.

Declined.

Stephanie?

- Carl.

Yeah, it's me.

I just felt like calling you.

I was missing you I guess. Weird, huh?

Yes, Carl. I have to go.

Ted and I are taking a little boat ride.

Oh, that's great. Good for you.

Jesus, Pete.

I'm not in or I'm busy.

Oh come on. You're halfway through.

Just snap it off already.

Hi, Pete. Hey. Where have you been?

- You haven't been getting my calls?

What?

God, no.

Oh, I totally lost my phone.

You are so full of sh*t.

Here it is.

Yeah, there it is.

You know what buddy?

You missed my engagement party tonight.

Oh no. Oh shoot. You are kidding?

That was tonight?

I am so sorry. I totally gapped it.

Listen, I'll make it up to you. I promise.

I swear. You pick the day. Any day you

want. We'll go out. We'll swashbuckle.

What does that even mean?

- I don't know.

This wasn't drinks at a bar, Carl.

This was my engagement party.

You only get married once.

- I certainly wouldn't do it again.

I know, Carl. I know that Stephanie left
