Battalion Page #2

I thought you might

want these to celebrate.

Thanks, man.

Come and eat, John.

There's plenty left.

Smells awesome, thanks.

Hey!

Chicken, potatoes.

[John] Great!

So, have you been keeping

yourself busy, John?

Yeah, ever since

I came back to LA,

it's just been nonstop.

Been fixin' up this guy's

kitchen for the past week.

Plumbing, is it?

Carpentry mostly.

Bench tops, cabinet

doors, that kind of thing.

He wants to turn the house

into a bed and breakfast,

you know, one of those

internet things.

Internet things?

Yeah, don't ask

me how it works,

but a bunch of my

friends are doing it.

Well, it's a great achievement

owning your own home,

something you could aspire to.

Sure, I'll just wait

for the 1940s to come back

so I could afford it.

(laughing)

Well, things ain't

what they used to be,

but when Margaret and

I bought our first home

up in Granada Hills there

was almost nothing there.

And it was cheap land too.

Excuse me.

(slow instrumental music)

(slow piano music)

Good evening.

Do you have a booking tonight?

Yeah...

I'm with that guy,

I think, sort of?

That's fine, go on through.

[Tracy] Byron?

- Yes, Tracy.

- That's me.

- Hi.

- Sorry I'm late.

No, it's fine,

take a seat, please.

So, have you looked

at the menu, or...

Yeah, yeah, it looks good.

That's the wine list though.

Oh, of course, right.

(chuckles)

Good evening, how are you?

Can I get you two anything

to drink to start off?

Yeah, wine please.

Merlot.

[Waiter] Sure, a glass?

Bottle.

Did you want somethin'

to drink, or?

Maybe we could

share the Merlot?

Great idea, two

glasses please.

[Waiter] Sure.

Thank you.

Sorry, I'm nervous.

That's fine, just relax.

I know, I know, I'll be fine.

Merlot's coming.

Hmm.

You're not gonna bail

on me now, are ya'?

(pensive instrumental music)

I don't know what

you've been through,

but it's good to have

you back, Brother.

I'm not back.

Not really.

Okay, I understand that,

but it's just straight logic.

If there are infinite universes

with infinite variations

then somewhere

there must be a universe

that's just like ours

with a galaxy just like ours,

even the same planet Earth,

even the same us at a

restaurant drinking

too much red wine.

Just 'cause it seems

logical doesn't make it true.

We can't even do

tests to find out

if there are actually

parallel universes.

But what about CERN?

CERN hasn't proven anything.

It's pointless just

even talkin' about this.

We might as well be

discussing astrology.

Okay, fine.

What would you like

to talk about then?

I don't know, astrology.

You're not enjoying

this are you?

I'm sorry.

I'm probably just tired.

I spend all day talkin'
