Yes Man

Unknown caller

No.

No, means No.

Bonjour.

- Carl, I know it's you

Oh, hey man

I had your number dialed and was about to press send.

Did you block your number?

Yeah, I did.

You never answer when I don't.

So, what are you doing?

Oh, just hanging out in my apartment.

You did get my text right?

What? Text, what?

We're all going out tonight.

- Oh, man that sounds great. I wish I could join you.

I'm just so jammed up.

I'm totally off the grid. Know what I mean?

Uh, no I don't at all.

I have a bunch of stuff going on.

There's this thing I gotta do.

Any other night would have been great.

Darn it to heck!

Thing? What thing?

- A thing. You know? Just a thing.

If I had my thing in front of me I could

tell you what it is, but... I know there's a thing.

A thing, huh? I don't think there's anything

written down in your fake calendar.

No, it's a specific thing.

A specific thing,

like getting in line at the video store?

What are you talking about?

I'm not at the video store.

I'm in my apartment.

I can see you Carl.

I'm outside the video store.

That's not me.

- It's not?

Oh, I know what's happening.

There's this guy who looks just like me,

who goes to a lot of the same video stores

That's probably who you are seeing right now.

Wow, that's amazing, because his mouth

is moving in exact sync with what you're saying.

Carl, I know you are not saying anything.

Carl, get outside.

I know you are not talking.

- What?

Carl!

- Alright.

Look who's here.

Wow.

I don't believe it,

Carl Allen.

Never thought I'd see the day, my man.

I thought you had hung up

your spurs you old cowboy.

No, I just got a lot of stuff going on.

Some things I gotta do.

Issues pending. They keep me pretty busy.

Yes, I hear you buddy.

So, we are really excited for you to be here Carl,

because we have an announcement to make.

Honey, show'em.

Oh! There it is. Deal with it!

We are engaged.

That is a big step, huh?

- Yeah it's a big step.

Moving fast. That's okay.

What has it been? Six months?

No.

- Two years.

Oh, yeah, that's about right then.

So, anyway, we are going to have an

engagement party on the 21st. Open bar.

Oh, you bastard. Always knows how to get me.

Carl, does that work for you?

Yeah, we'll figure it out.

What's there to figure out?

Oh God, look who's here.

- I'm not falling for that Carl. what's to figure out?

Carl it's open bar. What's the problem?

- I'm serious. Stephanie's at the bar.

The Stephanie?

- Yes, my ex. She's at the bar.

Oh God, that is Stephanie.

Looks like she's with someone there too.

- Yeah, they seem to be thriving. Good for her.

Oh look, they're touching each other's genitals.

Isn't that amazing?

I'm so glad I came out.

OK, you know what? I gotta go.

- No, Carl, you're going to stay.

It's been three years. You can't leave every time...

- It's totally unrelated.

It has nothing to do with Stephanie ...

- Carl.

Peter

Stephanie, guys.

- Hey

This is my boyfriend, Ted.

I don't believe we've....

- No, I don't believe we have.

You're leaving?

- Yeah, unfortunately.

Terrible timing too, because you just got here.

You just got here too, Carl.

Yes, but he's got a thing.

- Yeah, that's a thing. There's a thing and uh...

There's no time. There's a time crunch,

and time is of the essence.

Anyway, I am gone-a-rea.

Wow, that didn't sound quite right..

Oh well. - Woah!

See you, guys.

Hi, Tillie.

- Good morning, Carl.

Would you like to come over for breakfast?

- That sounds great, but I can't.

Some cereal, a yogurt, or something?

- Yes, I know.

How about some toast?
