- If you don't close, you don't last.

- I was on the phone with Jack.

- I was talking to you.

- I was listening.

- What did I say?

- You have to fire Connie.

- When do you go in?

- Tonight. Why?

So what's up with Jack?

He was upset

about a guy at the MTA office.

Wouldn't give him an application

because he was a minute late.

He needs to hook up. It's time.

Sh*t. I'm running late.

Jack's got me,

you and the limo job- that's it.

That's it for me. I've got you...

...Jack's a friend and I drive a limo.

- You take business classes at City.

- He's talking about the MTA.

Look, I love Jack, but Jack's-

I don't know what it is to call it.

- What would you say?

- I don't know what it is

- you don't know what to call.

- It's something.

- maybe it's nothing.

- Connie might be good for him.

It'd be easier to help it along

if she were working there,

but I don't know.

I'll call.

Connie:

No, I'll hold.

And the expiration date, please.

Lucky I caught some time.

The roads are no picnic.

Hi, Mr. Kendal.

Thanks for calling back.

No, I'll wait. Sure, I'll wait.

Are you okay?

You sounded pretty worried.

I thought it was internal bleeding,

but it was blood from her nose

that bled backward.

- Backward? That's weird.

- Yeah, backward into your stomach,

like a lot- a ruptured dorsal

or something.

She has a couple of fractured ribs.

Are you there?

Third floor?

- What do you have?

- A koala bear.

- Authentic koala bear.

- But she's okay?

- It's terrible, huh?

- She's okay though?

- Think she'll like it?

- Sure, it's cute.

I'll go see if I can learn anything.

Classic Limousine Service.

- The hospital.

- So how's the gal?

She's okay.

Dorsal something broke.

So what did you get her?

You got her something, right?

Uh, I got her a koala bear.

Astuffed bear.

Koala.

They live in Australia.

Okay. Yeah, roger that.

- Just- you know.

- Yeah.

- Lucy:
