(0.00 / 0 votes)Joy?
Yeah?
You okay?
Uh-huh.
You sure?
Ever since we got here,
you seem a little... upset.
Oh, no, no.
Just a little... dj vu.
They have a lot of vegetarian options here,
you know.
Oh, I know.
And, uh, I'm happy.
Really. Promise.
Okay.
Well, I, um -
I bought you a little present.
Joy? Joy, what's wrong?
[ Sniffles ]
I -
- What? Is - Is it your period?
- No.
I'm so sorry, Allen.
It's okay.
[ Sobs ]
I'm okay.
[ Gasping ]
[ Sniffles ]
Here, let me open it now.
It's an original Gainsford reproduction.
Late 1 880s.
Oh. Where -Where did you find this?
eBay.
- Oh, Allen. You did this?
- Look at the side.
Isn't that amazing?
I found it just like that.
- [ Crying ]
- Antique.
What, you don't like it?
[ Sniffling, Crying ]
I'm sorry, Allen.
I didn't mean to.
[ Deep Breath ]
It's nothing.
You sure?
Mm-hmm. Thank you.
You're welcome.
[ Crying ]
Happy-
Happy-
Happy anniversary.
Allen. Allen, I really do like it.
I'm sorry. It's just -
You know how you always said
Forgive and forget. Yes.
Well, so I thought that
I should try to be more open.
Uh-huh.
- 'Cause I've been really trying,Joy.
- Mm-hmm.
- No more cocaine.
- Uh-uh.
- No more crack.
- Uh-uh.
- No more crack cocaine.
- Uh-uh.
No more hanging around
Mm-hmm.
No more sarcastic remarks
or physical attacks aimed at my boss.
Uh-huh.
No more helping old gang members
with burglaries and armed robberies.
Uh-huh.
No more getting into fights with strangers,
waking up in the gutter.
Uh-huh.
Oh,Joy. It's been
like a never-ending struggle.
And I keep fighting it,
but it's just this one thing I can't stop.
- Hello.
- Are you ready to ord -
Oh, sorry. Do you need some more time?
No, no. We're ready.
- Yeah.
- Um...
I was wondering if you could
please tell us if you have any specials.
Miss?
Say again?
I - I was wondering if you could please
tell us if there's any specials, I mean.
What did you say?
I - I, uh -
I was wondering if-
I know who you are.
I'm-I'm sorry. Do I know -
- [ Spits ]
- [Joy Gasps ]
- Fuckin' pervert!
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
What are you wearin' underneath,
motherfuckin' scum?
Miss, he's changed.
He doesn't do that anymore.
We even threw out the phone book.
Really. He's a different person.
His voice is the same. Motherfucker.
Allen?
You don't still -
Just -Just a little.
On Sundays.
[ Man, Laughing ]
''What the heck are you doing?''
[ Woman ]
Oh!
You know -
You know what I like about you?
What? What?
You're so... normal.
[ Sputters ]
Me?
It feels so good to be with someone
who isn't... weird.
- Or screwed up.
- [ Laughing ]
Or sicko-pervy.
- [ Sighs ]
- Oh. So, uh -
- Are your kids off at college?
- I wish.
Mine are all out of the house.
Hell, I'm out of the house.
Kicked out, that is.
Oh. Feeling lonely?
Well -
Divorce isn't easy after 3 5 years together.
Hell.
I haven't even been with a woman
outside of Marj.
I'm not sure I would, uh -
would know what to do.
Harvey. It's okay.
It's okay.
What you're feeling is normal.
I can't - I can't talk about my sex life.
- I can't talk about mine either.
- There's so much I don't understand.
Sometimes it's better not to understand.
My son, Mark- he's a great kid.
You know, he's a little troubled -
But he's - he's really a very sweet kid.
I know. Good heart.
Anyway, so he moved down here.
