Dude, 9:
00 this morning, where were you?

- Dentist. Root canal.

- Oh, sh*t.

Now, what did I tell you about that?

Who did you see?

Gary Sher, King's practice,

West 57th Street.

Good. Good. You're stinging

the company health plan, I hope, right?

- Sure.

- That's what it's there for, man.

All right, brother.

Listen, one more thing.

Your hard drive is filthy, all right?

We got your computer back.

I mean, it is dirty.

I'm talking like hoes, sluts, anal,

double anal,

penetration, interracial facial, man.

Cream pie...

I don't even know what that is.

- You think it was your intern?

- On my hard drive?

Yeah, someone's f***ing

with your account, man.

And we're blowing our wad in cash,

you know?

It takes a really, really sick f*** to

spend all day on that sh*t.

Daddy, Daddy.

Yeah. Hey, buddy. What'd she say?

She said I can go to Jason's for a half hour,

but I have to be home by 5:00 for dinner.

Okay. That's great. See?

Best of both worlds.

- You got everything you want. You happy?

- Yup. Yup.

- Yeah. You better be. Get out of here.

- Okay. All right, see you.

Hey. You like your sugar?

I do.

Hey.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Did you find it okay?

Yes, I'm glad you made it.

Yeah?

I'm late. Sorry.

You look handsome.

- You look amazing.

- Hi.

- Thank you.

- How are you doing tonight?

- Thank you.

- Okay.

I have a few specials on the menu,

if you'd like to hear them?

Sure.

The soup of the day is tomato

with basil oil and Parmesan crostini.

The special is marinated swordfish,

tabouleh and Moroccan charmoula.

It's really good.

We're also serving a DeBragga and Spitler

New York Strip with a side order of fries,

and the salad is snow pea and radish

with a cider vinaigrette.

Can I start you off with a sparkling water?

- Tap water's fine.

- Okay.

And the wine menu is right next to...

Yup, there you go.

- You want some wine?

- Sure.

- White? Red?

- Red. Maybe...

Pinot Noir is light,

if you like it, like, light.

Great.

Okay. I'll be back.

So...

Where do you live?

- Brooklyn.

- Nice.

Born and raised. Where you from?

I was born in Ireland

and we moved here when I was a teen.

Did you get back much? Thank you.

A couple times.

A big family? You miss them?

Uh...

I have a sister.

I have two.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Older? Younger?

Older and younger.

I'm right in the middle.

What?

Just wondering.

Are you nervous?

- Why would I be nervous?

- You look a little nervous.

Do I?

- No.

- Well, what's a date?

It's no big deal.

It took me an hour to

figure out what to wear.

- You chose wisely.

- Yeah.

I'm sorry, but I forgot to say

the crab comes in the shell.

Great.

Oh! Yeah. I haven't even looked at this.

Steve McQueen

Terence Steven McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980) was an American actor. He was called "The King of Cool", whose "anti-hero" persona developed at the height of the counterculture of the 1960s and made him a top box-office draw of the 1960s and 1970s. McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Sand Pebbles. His other popular films include The Cincinnati Kid, The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, The Getaway, and Papillon, as well as the all-star ensemble films The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, and The Towering Inferno. In 1974, he became the highest-paid movie star in the world, although he did not act in films again for four years. McQueen was combative with directors and producers, but his popularity placed him in high demand and enabled him to command large salaries. more…
