And then he tried to put the spot

on his skin to be like the leopard,

but everyone know he is a hippo.

So at certain point,

he look himself in the mirror,

and hejust say,

'Hey, I am a hippopotamus,

and there is nothing I can do about it.'

And as soon as he accepts this,

he live life happy.

Happy as a hippo.

You understand?

- l'm gonna kill you!

- Reuben! No, Reuben!

- [Gasps]

- Leuban, this is not the way!

You're gonna be fine, Reuben.

No, l'm not gonna be fine.

l'm not gonna be fine at all.

- [Engine Starts]

- And don't come back to me

when you've changed your mind!

'Cause this ship has sailed.

[Screams]

[Horn Honks]

Hey, Tina. Hey, Mitch.

Hey, Reub.

- Cheryl.

- Hey.

[Chattering Stops]

[Phone Ringing]

[Woman]

lndursky and Sons, how may I help you?

[Chattering Resumes]

What?

How does everyone

know about this?

Your mother called Mr. lndursky

and told him what happened.

I am so sorry, Reuben.

Thanks, Gladys.

Come here.

Oh. Okay.

Thank you. All right.

I know, I know.

Okay.

F***. Hey, there he is!

The big man's back.

Hey.

Reub, come on in here.

I want to spitball something with you.

All right. Can you give me a minute, Stan?

l'm just gonna run to the men's room.

l'll join you.

I heard about your honeymoon.

Just terrible.

I knew that girl was a slut

the second I met her.

Yeah, well, you know,

it's kind of complicated.

Hey, don't make excuses.

She's a dime-store hooker,

and she always will be.

Just put it behind you.

Speaking of which,

you ever hear of a guy

named Leland Van Lew?

Um, Leland Van Lew.

Yeah, yeah.

Australian guy, right?

Um, was on the cover

of Forbes last year?

Exactly.

[Farts]

[Urinating]

Yeah, he started one of

those high-tech, modem-scrotum,

God only knows what they do

companies anyway.

Jesus Christ. They want to take

the company public,

and if he wants to remain the C.E.O.

of a publicly held company,

guess what he needs.

Life insurance.

Bingo was his name.

All right, you want me

to check him out?

Yeah.

There's just one catch.

[Urinating Continues]

Yeah?

This Van Lew has

a reputation as a cowboy.

Apparently, he's one of these

extreme sports nuts.

[Splashing]

So it's a long shot,

but if you can

pull this thing together,

[Zips]

might be a lot of dough in it for us,

maybe a little extra bonus for you,

help you with those house payments.

All right. Well, let's make sure

he checks out first and--

You see?

This is why you're the only one

I can trust with these jobs.

I was worried that you'd

been through hell and back

with that whore wife of yours.

You sure you don't need

some more time off?

Mm-hmm. l'm good.
