Mmm.

Ever been in a sensory

deprivation tank, Weslake? What?

It's a great change of pace.

I have a friend, he has one of those clubs.

I got to go, hot stuff. [ Doorbell Buzzing ]

That must be Turtle. Turtle can

wait, cowgirl. [ Drops Brush ]

I got some range to ride,

front pasture to plow.

Weslake, I am late for work.

I'll see you Saturday. We could

try that skydiving next time.

We could hang that parachute

harness up in here.

I'll be the Red Baron!

Mr. Weslake?

[ Turns Up Volume ]

[ Approaching Footsteps ]

I can just see your bare ass

swingin' in that harness.

[ Clears Throat ] Mr. Weslake? Yes?

Sorry to bother you, but, uh, I

have to get your block converter.

My what? The little box on your TV.

My cable? Why? It works terrific. [ Laughs ]

You're a little behind on your

subscription payments. Me?

Six months. No, no, no. That's gotta be

some kind of computer foul-up at the bank.

It's okay. I'll make it all right.

Look, you can't take it. I've been waiting

for ages for that Nakajima-Cuellas fight.

You can't take it now. Sorry, Mr.

Weslake, but don't worry about the fight.

Nakajima, he's gonna tear him apart.

Won't be much to see.

[ Humming ]

[ Kids Chattering ]

That's awful. What?

If you're gonna do it, do it right.

Tack it in the joint there. Keeps it

out of sight, doesn't look so messy.

[ Clock Cuckooing ]

Come here.

Huh? What? Take a look.

Ohh. You wanna sell your father's watch?

No. Are you telling me what time it is?

No, I was just wondering what

something like that might be worth.

To me?

It's real gold. Plate.

[ Clock Chiming ] Gold! Solid gold.

It runs great.

It's running a little slow.

[ Groans ] Six bucks.

Six bucks! It's an antique!

We're talkin' about a time when men

made things by hand. That was then.

These days, you buy a watch,

you wanna see what time it is.

Look, Weslake, you don't wanna hock this.

Here, here. Come on.

You know, it's a good thing

I don't need the money,

because if I was serious about pawning

that watch, you would have made me angry.

Very angry! Listen, business is business.

Yeah. Yeah, business is business.

Well, here's a nickel.

I'm gonna use the john.

Oh, the best things in life are free.

Turtle! I'll meet you

in Garvey's in ten minutes.

Good morning, Mrs. O'Malley.

Aye. Good morning.

Jasmine, we're going now. Hi.

And don't be creative. Just move the

furniture exactly the way we told you.

Oh, and Jasmine?

Huh? Don't use my cast iron pan.

It's only for omelettes.
