Promised Land Page #4

But, I'm telling you

Don't do this.

Because we will walk away.

We always do.

And after every single

town within 3 states

has signed up for this, and the blows

of this economy are almost unbearable,

we're gonna come back.

And we're gonna offer you nothing.

We will offer this town nothing.

Every contract we've signed,

every piece of the pie

we've offered, it all goes away.

And we buy this place for nothing.

Now please

Let some other guy be last.

I got it.

Thank you.

So I'll see you tomorrow?

I'll see you tomorrow.

Jeez, you want me to

leave the whole bottle?

They allow you to do that?

Hey Jesse, three more please.

Jesus Christ, the two of you.

Well, I don't know what your

problem is. It's my birthday.

II have no excuse.

Lemme guess.

Forty

married, marketing, with two kids.

Thirty eight

Stripper/Waitress but was

born to be a singer.

F*** you, I'm a teacher!

No no, I was talking about me.

You wanna see a dance?

It's a 100 bucks.

They wouldn't give you 30.

No, you haven't seen my moves.

Ok, alright, now you're creeping me out.

I'm Steve.

Alice.

Wow, you're goin' pretty big

for a school night, Alice.

It's my birthday.

Oh right, right.

Well actually, tomorrow.

So they just give you a day off,

you know, for your birthday,

or do you have to lie, tell the kids

you've got a stomach bug?

Okay, first off, I resent the implication

that I can't hold my liquor

And secondly, we watch videos

sometimes for the first two periods.

Just sometimes, right?

Smart.

So?

What's your story?

What brings you to our booming metropolis?

Oh, I'm actually from a small town myself

so it just kind of feels like home.

Oh yeah, where's that?

Eldridge, Iowa.

Aah, you're a buckeye!

That's Ohio.

The same thing.

Okay, no offense taken.

Alice.

Let's go!

Hey, what are we doing?

We're drinking or not?

Nice to meet you, Alice.

Oh, so you're not gonna even

buy a birthday girl a birthday drink?

No, I think that would

communicate the wrong thing.

You're an a**hole!

No no, I'mof course I'll buy your drinks.

No, forget it, you blew it,

you missed your chance.

Wait! No, that's it?

Alice, come on.

So how long you be in town?

Uh, yeah a bit.

A bit?

Oh my God, you're a horrible liar.

I'm not lying!

You wanna give a girl

a real birthday present?

Sure. Yeah.

Jesse, we're playing Absolut Madness.

Absolut Madness?

What's Absolut Madness?

It's pretty much what it sounds like.

You and Jesse drink 4 shots in 4 minutes,

and if you can get closer to the

bulls eye on that dartboard, then

we drink for free and you get

your Polaroid on the wall.

Uh, that's not at all what

it sounds like. alright, I'm in!
