Sure, he's three times her age,
but he's got money for pot
and he drives a nice car.
Who's the man, baby?
Who's the man?

but if you got trouble with someone,
someone's messing around
with your underage daughter,
Jackson Healy.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
-Are you the man?
-What?
(GROANS)
Stay away from little girls.
Love. Grand, isn't it? I was in love once.
Marriage is buying a house
for someone you hate.
Remember that.
I'm here with a representative
of the Detroit Auto Manufacturers,
Mr Bergen Paulsen.
And, Mr Paulsen,
glad to have you here.
I understand that you're in town
for the big show.
Tell us a little bit about it.
Take a look at this outstanding line-up
we have here for you.
These cars are so incredible,
they practically drive themselves.

-(THUDS)
(BELL DINGS)
My folks, they told me
to reach for the stars,
and then my pals in the force
said reach for the brass ring,
and then my wife died
and I reached for whatever came
in a gallon and cost a buck fifty.
She used to say I got no follow-through.
I hit nails in halfway and stop.
-She's not wrong.
-(RAZOR BUZZING)
MAN:
Hey, there's a line, asshole!-(CARS HONKING)
-Hey, what are you doing?
(BOTH GRUNTING)
They implemented a no-fault divorce here
that really screwed things up.
A lot of private cops folded.

in a local retirement park.
