The Gift Page #3

We're developing more

and more for personal use,

not just the corporate sector.

Kind of widening out.

And what do you think about this

whole government

thing of, you know,

listening in to people's

private information?

- I mean, that's crazy stuff.

- Who knows?

I mean, f*** them, you know?

An eye for an eye, I say.

Yeah.

- Anyway, this is a conversation for another time.

- Mmm-hmm.

But speaking of government,

did you know that

Simon was class president?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I did.

Mr. President.

Please, people will think he's...

He had a very

organized campaign, "Simon Says."

Like the children's game.

Well, his campaign

was based around the game,

so Simon says,

and it would happen.

"I will make it happen."

Simon says, "More time for sports."

Simon says, "More

choice in the cafeteria."

And it happens.

She gets it.

You got it, right?

So is it, do you have,.like, a poster?

Posters. Leaflets.

- Buttons.

- Buttons?

Parades...

Simon says,

"New job." Right?

Simon says, "Beautiful

wife and a new home." Aww.

Well, see? Should have

no problems starting a family.

Because Simon says.

My God, I had

one too many wines.

- No.

- I just talk way too much then.

- No.

- No, I talked too much.

What's happened to you since high school?

Everything good?

Military.

- Yeah.

- Really?

Yeah, it's true.

Military, straight out of school.

Two tours, and then I got out of there,

and just ended up

doing a lot of things.

But, I mean, a whole lot has happened

to me since we last saw each other.

Some good, some bad, like life.

You know, mostly good.

But, you know,

I believe that a lot of the good

- could come from the bad, you know?

- I hear you.

If you put the right

faith behind it, you know?

Not to bring

religion into it, God,

but just to say that the bad things,

they can be a gift.

Absolutely. And that's just

the way I like to see things.

Yeah, that's good.

Hey, I'm very happy for you.

Thank you very much.

I am. Very, very,

very happy for you and...

So I'd like to make a toast.

Simon says a toast.

Gordo says a toast.

Gordo says a toast.

To old friends and...

New ones.

New friends.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, sorry,

I was just thinking.

You know, it's so amazing

how some people change

so much after high school

and some just stay exactly the same.

You know what I mean?

I feel kind of bad for him.

Did he seem right to you?

That guy is odd.

He is a little socially awkward,

but, I mean, I can be that way.

I think that guy's delusional.

He thinks we're friends.

The whole thing just has me

very uncomfortable, but...

Okay.

It was just one dinner and it's over.

No one's saying you
