Where... Where are you going?

- What are you doing?

- Where are you going?

- I'm leaving. This isn't funny.

- I know. I felt terrible.

So, you remember him?

- What?

- I saw you in the chapel.

You were crying.

Hey, buddy,

are you kidding with this?

Do you mind?

We're about to bury this guy.

This is a person.

This is a person's life.

I don't remember him.

- Oh.

- Hey, what's goin' on over there?

It was just so, so sad.

I don't know what the hell he's doing.

- Do you wanna get some coffee?

- Unbelievable.

- He's pickin' up chicks.

- Coffee?

Yeah. If you wouldn't mind.

- Yeah, all right.

Why don't you call me?

- C-Call you?

- Get him off.

- All right, let's go.

- Whoa!

- All right, all right.

Come on, back it up.

I never should've asked you

to be a pallbearer.

It was too much for you.

- There's a will.

- What?

You're in the will.

All the way in.

Hello?

- Julie, hi.

- Hi.

- Hi, it's Tom Thompson.

- Oh. Tom.

- Hi. How are you?

- I'm fine.

So listen, um, I was calling

because we've talked about din... um...

- What did we talk about?

- Did we, at the funeral,

talk about doing this, uh...

- Right, right.

- The coffee thing.

- Yes!

- Um, listen, I was thinking...

- Yeah?

What if Scott and Cynthia come along?

- Scott and Cynthia?

- Yeah.

- Oh, you mean like a, uh...

- Yeah, you know, like the four of us.

- Tom!

- 'Cause I'm seeing Cynthia

on Tuesday anyway.

Jesus, this neighborhood is...

Hey, lady, you wanna keep it down?

Were you trying to contact me?

Uh, y-y-yeah.

a weird party line thing.

So listen,

Tuesday is bowling night.

Great.

Oh, no,

- No, really, I can't.

Please.

Twenty-five-year-old kid
