Hey, listen, what were you drinking?|Here, let me buy you one.

You tell me.

Is that rye?

- It's water. The same for my friend here.|- Yes, sir.

Sh*t! Would you believe me,|letting a kid like that get through to me?

Some days, you know.

Hey, kid. It's okay. Okay.

I've been doing this thing|most of my life...

...and all I got to show for it|is the muscle in my arm, my camper...

...and two ex-wives who wait|for the postman every month...

...like it was the Second Coming.

The world is getting smaller,|the kids are getting younger...

...and I am getting drunk.

- You can sleep in my camper. I got room.|- Thanks. I'll take you up on that.

- I'll see you, Joey. Thanks a lot.|- On your way, huh?

What's Quentin doing here?

We ran into some trouble|on the stunt plane.

What is it with Ellman?

He drives this thing|like it was a truck.

The brakes are gone,|I had to change one of the tires.

- It has chips on the prop.|- Hi, Quentin.

- Well?|- How long will it take you to get it flying?

- For Marv? Right now.|- Sh*t.

Gotta keep him and Marv apart...

...and still finish the gags on this picture...|- You think you got troubles?

I gotta go back|and see the black widow.

- Keep your legs crossed.|- You ever see Tom lverson?

It's been about a year, year and a half.

Last I heard, he was taking tourists|down the Colorado River on rafts.

He's another guy that can only do|one thing, and that has gotta be crazy.

- We ought to have reunions.|- See you back in the smog.

Let's take in a ball game|when you get back to the city.

- Caught me in my bath.|- I'm sorry.

Oh, that's all right.

You could've joined me.|It's a big bath.

Maybe some other time|when I'm feeling really dirty.

I ran into a friend of yours|down in New Mexico.

- Oh, really? Who's that?|- Marv Ellman.

Oh, how's Marv?

- Where do you know him from?|- Around the house.

In the bath.

One of the stunt guys. Used to hang|around when I was married to Tom.

Was Delly around then?

- She was just a kid.|- How much of a kid?

Oh, I don't know, 11, 12.

And she was jealous|of every one of them.

All right, what's it all about?

Delly had one of your scenes|with Marv in New Mexico.

- That dirty son of a b*tch.|- Where's Tom lverson?

Tom? What's...?|What's Tom got to do with it?

I think maybe she's trying|to even up the score.

I don't know. The last I heard...

...he was running some dumb|charter boat down in the Florida Keys.

How long ago?

Six months.

Would Delly have any way|of knowing that?

I might've mentioned it. l...

My guess is that I should go down there.

You're gonna go all the way|to Florida on a guess.

No. I'm gonna fly all the way to Florida|on your money, Mrs. Iverson.
