Oh. Oh, yeah.

You and I went to the same...

You and I went to...

Hello.

We--we went--

Hey, can you just

kind of shut her down,

shut her down for a s--

Hey.

You and I--you and I

went to the same high school.

You went to my high school,

didn't you?

Huh?

Ridge Valley High.

And, yeah, we were

in the same grade.

You remember me?

Maybe. I--

You're--you're Bill, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did you just start

working here or--

I haven't seen you around.

I've been here eight years.

That's--wow.

Yeah, well, I guess--

Yeah, I'm never

usually here this late,

so I didn't...

That's amazing.

Wow, Ridge Valley High.

Yeah, well, hey,

great to see you.

I'll--I'll see you around.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You're good to go, Bill.

and more snow.

We're expecting

a lot of snow next week,

so get out the snowshoes

and shovel.

And if you do have to travel,

make sure to keep

those tire chains handy

and take a little extra time

to get there safe.

Coming up next...

Hello.

Yeah, hey, it's Gary.

Gary.

Wow, hey.

I--

Wow.

How long--

I haven't talked to you--

What has it been,

like, four years?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

Wow.

Well, hey...

Come on.

Come on; come on.

Go. Go, go, go.

Oh, come on!

Come on, do you believe that?

Come on, guys.

He had that.

He was wide open.

Ever since

he hurt his shoulders,

throws have been so off.

Mid-season,

mid-season he's still...

Hey, you all right?

Yeah, why?

I don't know.

You just seem

a little out of it.

No, no, I'm just...

tired a little bit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Long week and...

Well, I'm gonna get going.

Oh, whoa, hey.

We just got here.

I haven't seen you

in four years.

Come on. Come on.

Have one more.

All right.

You know,

what's been going on?

How's--how's work?

Work's--work's good.

Kind of a funny thing.

I ran into a guy

we went to school with.

Bill, you remember Bill?

A sort of a quiet guy,

kept to himself, Bill.

We picked on him

all the time.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Well, get this.

He's a janitor

at the place I work.

He's a night janitor.

You serious?

Yeah, and he's exactly

the same guy.

He hasn't changed at all

since high school.

He kind of mumbles to himself,

stares at the ground.

That's funny. That's funny.

Yeah.

Wow, Bill.

Hey, hey, hey.

How's Karen, by the way?

Karen, yeah, she's--

Yeah, she's Karen.

She's...

Um...

Yeah.

Hey, whatever happened?

What do you mean?

You know, we--we used to see

each other every weekend almost.

Come to the house,

Sitting in the back,

hanging out.

Will and his friends

would be there,

And we'd be barbecuing.

Remember?

Hey, this weekend,

You come to my house,

we get some steaks

and we fire up

that old barbecue.

It'll be like old times.

All right.

You want another one?

Sure.

Yeah, have one.

We'll do one more.

Hello.

Is Dave there?

No, I think you've got

the wrong number.

Oh, I'm sorry. Thanks.

Hello.

Is Dave there?

No, you've got

the wrong number.

Oh, is this--

Hello.

Dave?

Yeah?

Finally. Hey, it's me.

How are you?

It's funny.

I just kept dialing

the wrong number.

Somebody else kept answering.

I think I'm losing my mind.

Oh.

So how's everything going?

Good.

Yeah, good.

Where'd you guys

end up going?

Oh, just went out,

nowhere.

They didn't come out with you?

Yeah, they did.

Well, did--

you sound weird.

I do?

Yeah, it doesn't sound

like you.

Think you have

the wrong number.

So is Todd

spending the night tonight?

Mom, he's bringing over

his video game system.

And there's this one game

I really want to play.

I...

Uh, hey, guys.

Whoa.

Thanks.

Uh, I--I...

I really appreciate this, guys.

I don't know

what's wrong with my legs.

They don't seem

to be working today.

Usually they're

pretty dependable.

I don't have an idea

why this is happening,

but every now and then,

something like this

does happen, I guess.

I don't know,

I can't or something.

I remember once

I was in the third--

# When I need someone

who cares, #

# I find you're always there #

# every time I pine for you. #

# When my castle

turns to sand, #

# you're there

to hold my hand. #

# much more

than only friend. #

# Much more than lovers. #

# There will be a lucky star #

# shining above us. #

# Time and time again, #

# I will hold you

close to me. #

# So close we will be, #

# like one for always

and always #

# and time and time again. #

Hey.

How was your day?

Fine.

Something wrong?

Why?

Oh, I don't know.

You just seem--

I don't know--

Everything is perfectly fine.

Anybody can do

whatever they want to do

around here, right?

Well, there's

no one else here, Karen.

Well, that's right.

I mean, and you don't--

You don't--

I don't what?

What? What?

I'm not doing this.

No, come on, what?

I don't what?

I'm keeping my mouth shut.

You just--

You just do whatever it is

you want to do.

Why don't you

just go ahead,

walk out of the room

like you always do,

Like you normally do,

just walk right out of here.

Everything is my fault.

It is an insult to the cook

To put too much barbecue sauce

on your food.

The psychology behind it is,

the food isn't good enough

on its own,

so you've got to cover it

with a whole bunch of mess

to get a good flavor

but not this.

I did not know that.

Looks like

you're cooking up a storm.

Hey.

I would've had one

on here for you

If I knew you were there.

Maybe next time.
