Well, I thought I was coming here.

Well, now I want to take a nap.

Then I'm waiting for her,

until she wake up and then...

Okay, how angry you think I should be?

I get to see you is when you hungover.

And you stay home all day and watch TV.

And then you say being

at work is affecting you.

- And that isn't true.

- And I say...

you're doing nothing to

change the situation.

And then you told me you're gonna prove

me wrong and then I catch you lying.

Lying again, to me, to yourself.

It's the same old day and

we're just talking in circles.

- I just getting so tired of it!

- Tim.

Georgia wanted to go,

I didn't even want to go.

Who the f*** is Georgia?

Glori, you are... You're a mess.

You are out of control and I love you,

but I cannot deal with you in that state.

What are you talking about?

So, I've packed your things,

they're in the bed room.

- You can keep the cases.

- What...?

I think it would be best for both of us if

you were not here when I got back, okay?

- So...

- Tim.

Goodbye.

- I'm sorry.

- Tim!

Tim!

- He's gone.

- Thank God.

- It's disgusting.

- I didn't know.

I don't know,

I never done anything like that.

Probably not.

My phone is on red right now.

You're still with me. Don't you remember?

You went to the funeral.

Oh, it looks differrent than I remember it.

Oh, yeah.

I did a renovation in the wall back.

Yeah, less and less people

start showing up and...

I think the whole country western play

list scaring the people away. Honestly.

Wow!

Hey, I like it.

- Yeah? Really?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I thought you would.

It's more refined, right?

Yeah. I just wanted something that had a

little bit more of classic feeling bar.

You know? Something that does not too

rely on theme or anything like that.

- Well, there's a theme.

- No, it doesn't.

No, I mean it's got a bite, yeah.

Sure, but it doesn't have a theme.

No, where would the theme be? Like a bar?

- Isn't this used to be bigger?

- Yeah. Yeah, good memory. Yeah.

I just ended up shutting that down.

Due to the people and everything, but...

It's alright. I got a buddy that comes

every now and then and helps me out.

Most of the time I gotta

spend for myself though.

You alright?

- You just...

- Oh.

It's the nervous tick I have,

I have this itch right here...

- You look like a monkey.

- I look like a monkey.

So what? You're Oscar secret...?

- No.

- We don't know anything about you.

We were friends in

elementary school

and then I moved to New York

and lived there ever since.

Now I'm just visiting for a few days.

- You know what your problem is?

- What's my problem?

I used to live in New

York too, a while back.

I worked there for a few months.

A print shop then I meet this guy,

who lost his passport,

he couldn't afford a new one,

so I helped him out.

Let him stay with me for a while.

After a week living with me,

I find out the police are looking for him,

because he beat up his boyfriend.

- Hey, Bart.

- Sorry...

- What's my problem?

- What's your problem?

Yeah. You asked me did I know

what my problem is, then you...

told the story and I don't know

what does it have to do with me?

I didn't ask you that.

- Did I?

- Yeah, you did. No, sorry...

He has this problem whenever

there's someone new,

he got very eager for babbling along.

That is totally not true.

Sorry.

What do you think of the main head?
