I'm still doing it.

Ooh, do you want to get

drunk and complain about Mom?

I don't drink.

Oh... no, that's good.

It's a good decision. No meat, no alcohol,

what about smoke? Do you smoke anything?

Nope.

Wow, Jesus Christ, you're boring.

I mean, what do you do all day?

Nothing much.

Nothing's... good.

Sure.

Is there a way to walk back to that bar...

because I left my car there and...

What time is it?

Almost 6:
00.

Bingo!

How often do you come here?

At least three days a week.

Well, how many times do you win?

Eh, once a month.

Four. Here... take this.

$20, please?

And how much money do

you get in that month?

First game is regular bingo

or four corners... $50, $50.

$100.

How much did this cost?

$20.

That doesn't pay off, then.

No, no, it doesn't.

Then why do you play bingo?

Because these people don't distract me.

What?

For something to do. I

play for something to do.

Keeps me occupied.

Caller's announcing.

N-34.

Just a line anywhere?

And the four corners.

B-2.

And B-1, B-1...

anybody got B-1.

So, I've noticed that we

only have two bingo cards...

but all the other senior

citizens have like ten.

I-20.

I never play with more than two.

I don't want to keep

track of more than that.

- Oh.

- I-17.

O! O-64.

O-64.

Oh, ah, thanks.

N-41.

And the rotation continues.

Well, that was something.

It passes the time.

So does drug use.

You don't even think when you're

playing bingo. Your mind's on autopilot.

No, you're definitely a

professional bingo player.

Here they are.

Do you like bingo?

The room full of seniors bingo?

- Yeah.

- I can't say I ever played.

Well, would you consider it?

Sure.

You should come with us sometime?

You play bingo?

You don't look like the type.

I'm less than a hundred.

Um, yeah, I'll go. I work

tomorrow, but I'm off the day after.

Nice, well, we don't do

anything, so we're also open.

All right, um, are you ready to order?

Um, I'm gonna need a minute.

Okay, I gotta work on this table

and then I will be right back.

- I was ready to order.

- There you go.

- Where I go?

- You got a date.

It's bingo.

Yes, even bingo counts, when's the

last time you were with someone anyway?

How old are you?

- 19.

- So, 19 years.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

You'll be fine. No, she's

nice... and you'll have fun.

Do you know him?

Don't look at him.

- What?

- You can see him?

Yeah, why wouldn't I see him? He's solid.

Just ignore his existence,

even if he speaks to you.

Should I ask who that is?

Not at all.

- Bad guy?

- Yeah.

All right, f***.

You all right?

Yeah.

You're kind of out there, aren't you?

- Probably.

- Yeah, that's okay.

Me, too.

Can I talk about Mom for a sec?
