Girlfriend's Day Page #4

---

Circled the paragraph for reference.

Look, maybe it was

providence you got fired.

Lucky me.

You know, what I loved about your class

is that you always made us write.

You know, actually write in class.

Yeah, that was so I could write.

I know. It was something to see.

I want to see you do it again.

Truth is, I haven't written

anything good in three years. I...

Three years.

Gosh, that is... that's a bummer.

Wonder what could have happened

three years ago that would have

crushed your spirit.

I wonder if it was maybe when

your wife left you for another guy.

- It's not that.

- It is that.

It's not that.

- 'Tis.

- It's not.

It's like talking

to one of my seventh-graders.

Ray.

You gotta forget about Karen.

I have.

Look, I only see her

when it's legally mandated.

You're not still

picking up the cat, are you?

Oh, sh*t. What day is it?

- Saturday.

- Ah. Gotta go.

You hate cats.

You're not an animal person.

- That includes humans.

- Alquiler, let's go.

Don't do it, Ray.

Thanks for the advice.

Come on, Denny.

Karen, Ray's here!

Well, I guess I should invite you in.

[Ray chuckles]

Sorry. Out of ice.

That's okay. I like it warm.

How's business, Harold?

Ah, well, quite good, actually.

I don't know if you've heard, but they're

doing a spin-off of one of my...

I was kidding.

Karen!

[Harold plays piano]

Say, I've been meaning to ask you,

uh, do you get a cut

off those wonderful rip-offs

I see of your work all over town?

I'm sorry.

Sure, you must have seen 'em.

Uh, the owl's getting the B.J.

Or he's biting the head

off your chicken character.

- What's her name?

- Cordelia.

Yeah. You must have sued

those guys, right?

Oh, there's one where two owls

are pissing in each other's mouths.

I must have seen that

on 12 trucks today.

[Harold strikes false note]

Oh. If it isn't the only two men

I've ever slept with.

[Harold]

Finally!

How are you, Ray?

I see you still haven't lost

your talent for pissing people off.

Tell me, when you make love,

does he make you wear an owl costume?

Or does he wear the costume?

No one's in an owl costume.

You're missing out.

Here's Tony. Give him his medicine

and have him back on Saturday.

I don't know why the judge

just didn't make you keep him.

Because you insisted

that we share custody.

God.

Hey.

Why?

Why'd you do it?

Why did you leave me for this

cardboard cutout?

For a romance card writer,

you weren't very romantic.

I never brought my work

home with me.

You should have.

Nice. That's good.

Ray...

Bye.

Bye.

[soft knock on door]

Denny.

I need the kid. Pays the rent.

Who?

Let's go.

- Oh, my God.

- Let's go.

[song playing on jukebox]

More booze.
