The Lookout Page #3

Put that f***ing thing out.

- Can I get you something?

- Yeah, an O'Doul's, please.

Yep.

This lady calls me over and she's, like,

"How many Dorothys live in Kansas?"

Hey.

Can you break a fifty?

Like, tens and fives?

Damn. And I thought I was good-Iooking.

- You having a good time?

- So far.

Well, that's all that matters, right?

Enjoy yourself.

Hey, Chris Pratt, right?

Gary Spargo. We know each other.

I was a couple of years ahead

in your sister's class.

We went out a couple of times,

but never took.

How's she doing, anyway? Alison, right?

Yeah, she's good, man.

She's married. She has a baby.

Just my luck.

- Well, it was nice seeing you, anyway.

- Yeah.

- You say hello to Alison for me.

- OK.

- Yeah. Where are you?

- It's 2.50, chief.

Ten, twenty, thirty, five, forty...

You were supposed to be here

an hour ago.

- Sorry, how much?

- 2.50.

That's not my problem.

I guess I'll see you later. OK, bye.

- Do you need any change with that?

- No, keep it.

- Thanks, chief.

- Whoa. Excuse me, uh... T.J.

You must be one hell of a bartender,

$17 tip for a $3 beer.

- What can I say?

- You can say, "It's on the house."

- It's not a problem.

- No, no, no, no.

He insists. Don't you, chief?

Yeah. Whatever.

Prick. Sh*t, I apologize

for that guy, Chris.

No, it's OK.

You know, I find myself apologizing

for people pretty often these days.

I heard something happened to you.

So, what was it? Motorcycle accident?

If you don't mind me asking.

I'm just curious.

It was a car accident.

I was driving at night

and I hit a combine that was stalled

in the middle of the road, old Route 24.

Well, how does a thing like that happen?

- I had the lights off.

- Really?

They say I got thrown 90 feet.

Wait, I'm sorry. "They" say?

Well, no, I can't remember any of it.

Well, thank God for that.

I remember, uh, right before it

and right after it

and one moment where I thought

the medevac was gonna land on top of me.

Anybody die?

Yeah, two friends.

- You do any time?

- No.

But you're doing your time right now,

though, right?

So, you drink near beer and what else?

It's like I can pick up a glass

with this hand,

can't always drink from it.

I fall asleep a lot, just nod off

in the middle of things.

- Yeah, me, too.

- Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Well, I call tomatoes "lemons."

I know that's wrong.

And sometimes certain colors

have certain smells.

That's weird.

Well, we all got our problems, right?

There's an expression: "God closes

a door, but he opens a window."

Or he closes the window

and he opens the door.

My point is...

...sometimes something good

comes from an accident, you know?

Sometimes you're out there and you...
