- You know, I'll be right back.

Honey, hi.

I know, I know it's late.

Well, I don't know.

This guy is in real

bad shape, honey.

I don't know how

long I'm going to be.

Lisa?

Lisa?

- Hey.

Got you another.

- Thanks.

- Everything all right?

- I just talked to Lisa.

She hung up on me.

Well, hello.

- Well, hello yourself.

- Um, you might want to

take it easy on the old man.

He's kinda new at this.

- Well, it won't hurt a bit.

- Okay.

- I'll be back, amigo.

- So, what's your name?

- I'm Perry.

- Oh.

I'm Sherri, Perry.

- That's nice.

I'll be right back.

- Oh, no, he'll be fine.

Let's have a toast.

- Okay, to what?

- To tonight

and all of its surprises.

- Leo.

- Mr. Billy Cain.

It's how you grace himself.

You graced my establishment.

Sorry, I'm a little

lost for words here.

Where you been?

- I've been around.

- Really?

New friends now, huh?

- How you been?

How's business?

- It's okay.

Course I could use

that money you owed me.

- I know, I know,

I did not forget.

Things are going good right now.

I'm gonna be good for it.

- You look like sh*t.

- I just had a couple

rough, uh, you know.

- You know what I want to do?

I want to take one

of these bottles

and break it over

your f***ing head.

- Come on, Leo.

I came to apologize.

- Apologize, huh?

- Well, you can

apologize over a drink.

How about that?

- All right, I'll have a drink.

- Good.

Except, you know, I

water this sh*t down,

but I got a great bottle

back in the office.

- Leo, I gotta get

back to my buddy.

- No.

Your friend is doing fine, okay?

What about this friend?

You can have a drink with

an old friend, right?

Come on, Billy.

For old time's sake.

I'm not gonna ask you again.

Yo, don't take

this for sweetness.

I actually had genuine

concern for you

and that turned into

a seething rage.

- All right, all right.

I know, I know.

That's why I came by, you know?

I'm not a scumbag.

- You still ain't setting

me up with anything.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

You see this?

That's why I see them

always bent over.

This is where all my profits go.

Up these lovely noses.

Georgia, look who's here.

- Georgia.

- Billy.

- Georgia.

- Come here.

- This is sweet little Susan.

- Susan.

Just a couple minutes.

- No, it's Sarah.

I'm sorry, Sarah.

- She's new.

- She's new.

- I gotta head back.

- Sit down.

- Come on, sit down.

- Does it seem like old times?

- Yeah.

- A little bit, right?

- Yep.

- Look at Georgia's face.

I haven't her smile like

that in a long time.

Guess who's back in business?

- Who?

- Carlos.

- Really, no sh*t?

- Stamped key.

Cut him a line, Sarah.

- Nah, not tonight

'cause I gotta go.

- Hey, hey, hey, sit
