Well, I get off in a little

while. Can I talk you

into Freak Show Seven?

There's a late show.

[Groans]

[Movie:

Continuous Screaming]

You know, we could've

left the movie if it

was makin' you sick.

I couldn't stop watching it.

It was so gross.

Yeah, it was a good one.

Look at this.

I once... I once

put makeup like this

on my little brother.

Made it look like his

cheeks were falling off,

and he was scared shitless.

He was just in the bathroom,

like, crying, looking into...

in the mirror,

begging me

to take it off.

- That was pretty funny.

- That's f***ed up.

[Laughs]

You think?

I was young.

How's your stomach?

- Not great.

- Mmm. Maybe this'll help.

It probably would

if I could stop thinking

about that talking forehead.

- Oh, man.

- I hear you.

My best friend's

getting married.

It's probably

what's making me sick.

Mmm.

[Sighs]

Mmm. How's that?

Good.

Better.

Thanks.

Good. I actually

feel inspired to do some writing.

- Oh!

- I... If I feel it...

If I feel inspired,

- I should try to do some work.

- Okay.

- It's kinda late anyway.

- Yeah.

- All right. Well, thanks.

- Yeah. Uh...

It was fun.

Yeah, it was.

I'll call you.

Okay. All right.

Bye.

Good night.

Hi. It's me.

Anyone? Anyone?

Anyone? Are you guys

there?

What, are you screening?

Pick up.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

This sponge that I'm washing

dishes with is unbelievable.

It... Oh, my God.

It smells like a hot dog.

It's disgusting.

And I can't stop smelling it.

[Sniffs]

Are you gonna pick up?

Okay. All right, then.

Okay. Bye-bye.

- Don't you have work?

- Not today. I'm going to a meeting.

- Which? Overeaters?

- Alzheimer's.

Oh. How is your dad?

Not so good.

You know, you go to your

Coping With Alzheimer's meetings

more than you see your dad.

I'm gonna see him

next week. Maybe you'd

like to come with me?

- Queens?

- Yeah.

I've been talking to that

woman in California...

on the phone a lot lately.

You know, the one

I told you about?

Yeah. So?

We, uh,

talk on the phone...

for long... long...

long... long...

periods of time.

- Oh, God. Ohh.

- And...

Don't tell me this.

She talks and you jerk off.

And the other way around.

You should hear the noise she makes.

- I don't wanna hear this.

- [Phone Ringing]

Classifieds. I don't know.

Could you hold, please?

- We never did that.

- We didn't have to.

- We lived in the same city.

- I thought you said you weren't

gonna get involved with anyone.

I'm not involved.

We talk on the phone. That's it.

I live in New York.

She lives in California.

- What's her name?

- Virginia.

I'm probably never gonna

call her again anyway.

- So it's sort of a moot point.
