but he covered it with a tattoo of

a dragon so nobody would notice.

Thank you very much.

That seems satisfactory.

You can move in the day after tomorrow.

You'll fit in very well.

Thank you.

You wanna go to dinner?

I'm a man.

This is getting drastic.

I don't have anything in my place.

I just left with a suitcase.

I lost my comb.

This morning I had to brush

my hair with my toothbrush.

I cleaned it out really good so I feel more

comfortable. It takes about 20 minutes.

Does it look okay?

I was just thinking how good it looks.

I should get a comb. I'll get it today.

You oughta get a comb.

You think that's bad.

I had my yearly physical last week.

They called me yesterday, told me I

have to come back. They lost my blood.

Oh, god!

You know, I can give 'em more blood, but...

You see, you buy a lot of these,

you scatter them around,

and nobody'll notice you

don't have enough furniture.

Hey, this one looks nice.

No, you don't want that, Larry.

That's got buds. So what?

You don't want to watch life blossoming,

while yours...

Isn't, yeah.

Hey, how about a fern?

Great. But, Larry, don't call 'em ferns.

Call 'em guys.

Guys?

Yeah, make 'em feel like your buddy.

You can watch

football games together.

Watch football games with a plant?

Hey, you never know.

Well, I'll just take

this guy right here.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, good.

I could use one myself.

Want a sip?

No. I'm full.

What'd you eat?

Uh, a tuna sandwich.

How often do you have to

water something like this?

Just once a week.

But stay with it a couple of minutes.

It doesn't like to drink

alone, seriously.

Have you got your towels yet?

I forgot all about that.

I can get 'em wholesale,

if you don't mind other people's initials.

They get 'em

from divorced couples.

That's kind of sad, isn't it? I don't want

to get depressed every time I shower.

You'll probably

be depressed anyway.

Well, I gotta go.

I gotta go get some furniture.

Hey, doesn't your guy want

to say good-bye to my guy?

Say good-bye

to your friend.

Still a little shy.

Ahhh.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Bye.

I'd gotten some furniture,

but the big news was the phone.

I had to give them a $500 deposit and a

sperm sample, but they finally put it in.

So I pulled out

my little black book.

Nobody move a muscle.

First National Bank.

Hi. Carol Zall, please.

I'm sorry, she's all

tied up right now.

Would you care to leave

your phone number?

Larry Hubbard.

Kl5-1173.

Oh. She says she'd

love to talk to you,

and she'll get

right back to you.

Haven't lost the touch.

Cops! Out the back!

All right, let's go.

Take some hostages.

Get the bag.

Kid, you're coming with me.
