And...

I don't know. For, like, fun.

You know, like, whoo!

I don't know. For fun.

I play bingo every Saturday

at St. Anne's.

Is that your idea of fun?

Yeah.

That's what I do.

Okay.

Well, I'm gonna go...

and I'm gonna give you my number.

And if you ever need a ride

to the grocery store...

or, like,

any little errand or whatever...

I can get a cab. I don't need you.

It's... That's stupid.

Yeah, but it's so silly. I mean, I'm

not gonna charge you anything, and I-

it's easier. You just call me.

Okay.

Yeah.

And I'll bring my trusty sidekick.

Thank you for the water.

Yeah.

Okay. But really, call me.

Bye!

Bye.

Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Is Mikey home?

Uh, I don't know. I'll check.

Mikey.

Huh?

There are a couple kids

outside for you.

Oh. F***.

You gotta take this f***ing game for me.

You gotta take this game.

It's a f***ing live game.

It's a live game.

Do not get me killed.

Okay, look. I need a little favor.

Mikey's being cheap as f***ing usual...

and I need to borrow $250, otherwise

they're gonna take away Big Red.

They can't take away Big Red.

Sorry, it's none of my business, but why

the f*** do you let him handle your money?

'Cause he's saving up

for some big extravaganza.

I don't know,

some big thing he's been plotting.

Did you get me f***ing smoked?

You didn't get me smoked, did you?

Here. Thank you.

You rock, Janie-Poo.

Janie-Poo.

What? I come up with cute nicknames...

unlike some people,

who just call me "Babe. "

Thanks. Arash owes me a check anyway, so

I'll pay you back when he gets it to me.

Whatever.

Find it yet?

Here's a diagonal,

the last number called.

And there's a second diagonal

with the last number called.

Are there any others?

Are there any others?

Game closed,

with one winner.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi, can I help you?

Um, yeah. What do I need?

For what?

For the game.

To play bingo?

Yeah.

You would need

one of these packs.

Okay, and how much is it?

It's $25.

Out of a hundred.

There you go, and good luck.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Thanks.

B-4.

B-4.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Bingo.

I've never seen you here before.

Well, it's a new interest.

O-71.

O... 71.

Phew. Can I borrow one of your markers?

I forgot mine.

Oh, go ahead. Take one.

Thank you.

B-3.

Look. It matches my sweater.

B-3.

I'm playing bingo.

Leave me alone.

I love this game.

O-70.

Bingo!

There is a bingo.

B-7. Hold your cards.

Oh.

Game closed with one winner.

Give the lucky player $150.

There's a five minute break here.

Plenty of room down there.

You don't have to sit here.

One and 30.

But I don't know

anybody else here.

N-38.

B-11.

N-35.

B-10.
