The Cable Guy Page #3

I think it was

an Asian gang or something!

I saw someone. He was speaking

another language. I'm pretty sure -

- it was Asian.

He had the same injury last year.

You guys play here too?

I thought I'd see if anybody

wanted to play round ball.

- Great. We need another man.

- Chip Douglas, my cable guy.

We met a week ago,

but I feel I've always known him.

That's sweet.

- Chip Douglas, you're on my team.

- No way.

- I'm on Steven's team.

- I'll switch teams. Let's play.

I've got to warm up!

I don't want to pull a hammy.

- Let's get it on.

- You any good?

You'll find out.

Check it.

Looks good.

Let's see what you got,

White Shadow.

Foul!

- That was a travel!

- Whatever you say, Chip!

I see.

We're playing prison rules, huh?

Feed me!

Steven, I'm open!

Feed me the rock!

Chip, over here!

I love this game.

- I guess we're done.

- Thanks for bringing your friend.

I never made a slam dunk before.

Thanks for the boost.

What are you doing?

- I'm just talking trash.

- You ruined the game.

Friends don't speak to each other

like that.

We're not friends.

I don't even know you.

- Let me buy you a Heineken.

- I'm going home.

I guess we'll talk later.

I have to do some stuff anyway.

You have 11 new messages.

Steven, it's Mom. Call me.

I'm still your mother, you know.

Steven, call your mother.

Hey, Steven. Give me a ring.

I'm at 555-4329.

I'm at a pay phone.

If you're there, pick up.

I'll be home later.

Okay, I'm home.

Give me a buzz when you get in.

It's me again. I was taking a whiz.

Thought you might have called.

We're having ourselves

a game of phone tag here.

I was just blow-drying my hair...

Thought I heard the phone ring.

I think your machine is...

- Hey, good to see you.

- You too.

- So how's work?

- Work's good.

- How's Hal?

- The guy has no vision.

It's like working for Mr. Magoo.

And those hair plugs...

He's just an utterly useless person.

I think I hate him.

- It's nice to see you doing well.

- It's nice just to see you.

Hey.

It should be on now.

Damn it.

The cable's out.

I know what to do.

The cable guy is a friend of mine.

I'm a preferred customer.

All I have to do is page him.

- Hi. Is there a problem?

- My cable's out.

Really?

So you called me.

Funny, how you call

when you need something.

- Is that how you treat people?

- I've been busy. Robin is here.

- This is important.

- But calling me back isn't?

I'm sorry.

Can you help me out?

Why should I help you?

I gave you free cable.

- What have you ever done for me?

- Anything you want.

- Tomorrow night we hang out.

- Fine, anything you want.

God bless you.

You're too good to me.
