Call me if you need me.

I think I got it.

How much longer

you have on the dryers?

Ten minutes.

You have a son, right?

Not no more.

There you go.

Thank you.

What're you guys up to tonight?

You going out?

Just over to the mill.

Yeah, Jim's gonna find

us some strippers.

Easy, Frank.

I may have to find

that Russian girl later.

She's not Russian.

She's Serbian.

Is she around?

Do you need change for this?

It's all yours.

What's she so pissy about?

Bye, guys.

Mm-hm.

Yup.

So what's your deal?

You just drive in the northwest?

Yeah, I try to.

I try to stay near my family.

Got some time

to play cards with me?

Or you gotta go?

Depends on the game.

Depends on what you know.

Ah, Go Fish, Old Maid.

I might remember a little poker.

Ah, a cardshark, huh?

Let's play Go Fish.

All right.

You must have kids.

Seven and Five.

Hey.

Frank was looking for you.

See ya.

She's friendly.

She has her moments.

All right, you have any kings?

Oh man.

I...do.

I was gonna lie.

Don't lie.

Thank you.

So she's a friend of yours?

I mean, I like her.

That's half of it.

How about threes,

you got any threes?

Mm-mm, go fish.

She was a mail order bride.

- Really?

- Yup.

Hm, I have one of those.

No you don't.

For real?

No.

Nope, my wife and I, we met

the more traditional route.

So you guys are still together?

Yeah, just had

our 10 year anniversary.

Well, congratulations.

Thanks.

Me or you?

Um... I don't know.

Where are all

the God damn customers?

I told 'em to go home so I can

play cards with this gentleman.

Wouldn't surprise me.

You go.

How about...

twos?

Yeah.

I got another one, too.

Oh, you were holding out.

That's not cool.

Thanks for the company.

I better go.

Move up.

Freckles On My Chin.

For a band?

I think that sucks.

What about Tiger Cock?

Bold.

It's got a ring.

It does.

No, get your own.

Come on, come on, come on.

Yours tastes better.

Mm, mm.

Oh, that's good.

Thank you.

You gotta go to the right.

Don't do that...

Don't, no I don't like it.

- I wasn't gonna do that.

- I don't like it.

- I wasn't gonna do that.

- I don't like being tickled.

I was not even tickling.

I don't... please don't.

Cut the f***ing sh*t out, man.

Oh-oh, come on, come on.

If you think that's flirting,

then no wonder you're single.

Francine, just 'cause you bang

anyone that looks at you.

Shut up.

Then stop looking at me.

F*** you, f*** you.

Corey said you went home

with some slut the other night.

So, when did you start taking

such an interest

in my nightlife?

I didn't.

Come here.

Do you like playing

with those guys?

Those guys out there?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's fun.

What if you guys
