Hello?

Where are you?

I know, I know, I know, I know.

I'm just running a few minutes Iate.

I'm almost there.

I'll be there in a second, O. K.?

Uh-huh... O.K.

O.K., all right.

Be there in a sec.

Bye.

[wailing siren approaching]

[horn honks]

It's a very popular place.

No, it's off of...

Wichita, I think.

No, I didn't hear,

but I'm glad that you told me

in case I run into them.

But only steak fingers.

[door opens, shuts]

Oh, the other guy...

He's here now.

All right.

I will talk to you Iater.

Yeah, tonight.

O.K., bye-bye.

How are you?

Sorry I'm Iate.

Do you know we're getting

charged by the hour, don't you?

We'll go halfsies

on it, don't worry.

Uh, Iet's see.

Where to begin?

O. K., you are gold...

and you'll be Iime.

I need initials here and here

and signatures on these tabs.

O.K., exchange documents

and sign here, here,

and initial on these tabs.

Is that it?

[car engine turns on,

horn honks]

[whistles]

What?

Look, we're never

gonna come to a consensus

as to who did what first,

and that's fine, O. K.?

But there's one thing

I wanna make clear.

For what it's worth, on my end,

It...was just two fingers, O.K.?

That's it, nothing.

And, um...so in my opinion,

a couple of fingers

don't count, all right?

Um... I just wanted to say that.

Disgusting.

I don't wanna hear it.

It's disgusting, gross.

And even, uh...

And even though it didn't work

out for you and that guy

in the Iong run, you know,

which is, uh, why I guess

you're now with that,

that tattooed gentleman...

You know, what you

did was, uh, out of Iove.

Your cheating -

it was out of Iove.

Mine was just out of dumb Iust,

which barely counts, you know,

is nothing.

It may as well have been

with a piece of meat.

Seriously.

I mean, you know,

Iove is everything, O. K.?

And so, so what I did

is Iike nothing

in comparison to you.

I mean, it was just

two f***ing fingers.

Do you understand that?

Do you understand

how nothing that is?

- Are you done?

- Yeah, are you?!

I'm not trying

to change anything.

I'm just trying to say it, O. K.?

Hey!

Hey, guess what...

I smoke inside

the house now!

[saw buzzes loudly]

[saw buzzes]

[saw turns off, sputters]

[can opener cranking]

Goliath!

[horns honk]

[insects buzzing,

birds chirping]

#

[clanking]

[crickets chirping]

[thud]

[slurping, bubbling]

[liquid sloshes]

[opener snaps]

[smoke alarm beeps]

[sustained beeping]

[beeping stops]

[elevator dings]

The thing you do

is bet on a horse that pisses.

That's, Iike, the rule of thumb

because it's the Iightest.

I'll tell you a terrible

p*ssy-eating story.

Have you heard of...

You know when people got

that bush-broom mustache?
