Good.
By the way, I'm throwing a little party for the 4th of July this Saturday, and I would love it if you could come.

You and I are going to train every day, an hour a day, for the next six weeks.
No exceptions.
And Nash, he can fill you in on Feinberg's game so you can develop, like, a little defensive strategy.
I don't understand.
Why isn't Nash coaching you? What do you mean, why Because I'm hiring you.

There's no decision to make here.
I'm not asking you, I'm booking you.
Okay, You'll pay me my regular rate? Yes.
I'll pay your regular rate and a little bonus if I win.

Boychik.
Hey, got a minute? I've got exactly two, and I've got somewhere I need to be.
Getty asked me to coach him for the club tournament.
Excuse me? Apparently he's got a hard-on for this guy Feinberg who's won the last five years.
But, uh, I'm the head tennis pro.
I know.
Did Skip put you up to this? No.
I see.
Look, I'm sorry, man.
It wasn't my idea.
I tried to tell him no, but he said it's not my decision.
Well, good luck.
You're going to need it.
It'll be a cold day in hell before Getty can defeat Feinberg.
Clumsy sheka foot faults more than my nana farts.
Thanks.
Well, you know, now I don't feel so bad asking you to cover my shifts for the next few hours.
Uh, sure.
What's up? Between you and I and this cigarette, I'm organizing a little underground poker game for myself and a few of the other sporting gentlemen here at the club.
What do I say to anyone who asks where you are? Tell them I have diarrhea.
Ah, Semper Fi.
You serve? Army.
Korea.
You in 'nam? Two tours.
Sam.
Ricky.
I only did one tour in Inchon because - Whoo! - Whoa, check it out.
Would you look at that? It's disgusting.
Disgraceful.
In my day, you showed a little respect for the Stars and Stripes.
Amen, brother.
Yay! There you guys go! Oh, my gosh, we have a winner! Ha ha ha! Congrats, Allison.
Oh, your turn.
Great job, you guys.
Hello.
Hey.
What are you doing here? I'm here for a lesson.
I thought you hated tennis.
I hate Gone With the Wind, too, but I'll watch it if nothing else is on.
Well? Uh, yeah.
I'll grab my racquet.
All right, some quick ground rules.
First of all, buy-in is $100, so crack out your wallets.
If you cheat, that will cost you a hand, as in I will cut off your hand with a blade made of fine Egyptian steel.
Is that clear? - Cheers to that.
- Absolutely.
To our independence.
Mm.
100, 200.
Ah.
Can I be sure this is real? Uh, let's just hit a little to warm up.
All right.
I'm warm.
Where did that come from? My father made me take lessons when I was little.
Okay.
You hear anything about this poker game that the Indian fella's running? - What Indian fella? - The tennis pro.
I think he's Turkish, not Indian Is there even a difference? So switch to your left, then, man.
How is that any better? Different half of your brain.
Trust me, it's a totally new experience.
Isn't that right, Wheeler? Hey, Party King.
Huh? Aah! Shit! Good match.
Ahh.
Yeah.
Try adjusting your grip a little.
It'll help with your kick serve.
- Okay.
- Also, you're making contact too soon after your toss.
If you wait a sec longer, You won't fall into the net so much.
Like this.
Uh, ball is up here.
This guy's up here.
Like that.
You're a good teacher.
Thanks.
And a gentleman.
Most guys would cop a feel.
Ahem.
Hello.
I thought you hated tennis.
It's growing on me.
Is it? Where's Nasser? He has diarrhea.
Nobody with a Middle Eastern gut gets diarrhea.
Then I don't know where he is.
You don't know where he is? Okay.
Come on, Skip.
So are you going to tell her? Can't, man.
Breaking the guy code.
Screw the guy code.
LeFevre's a dick.
Yeah, but then everyone would know I'm a snitch, which wouldn't be a very good rep for the Party King.
She deserves to know.
What if she gets pissed and quits Red Oaks? Huh? Why would she quit? Wouldn't you? I mean would you still want to see Karen every day at work if you'd found out she just fingered some dude? And And And let's not overlook the fact that I'm a coward that doesn't want to get his ass kicked by LeFevre.
Fuck it.
Wheeler! You fat little Ewok.
Hey, hey! Shouldn't you be parking my car? Shouldn't you be sticking your hands up Misty's skirt? - What? - I mean Why don't you turn around and march your fat fucking ass right out of here, okay? Get out of my way.
D don't! Don't! Do not Do not touch me, you little pussy.
Misty! Clumsy fuck.
Wh Wh Swim, you turd! He can't.
Steve, help me get him out.
Jesus, he's heavy.
Just pull.
Fuck! Wheeler, you okay? Shit, he's not breathing.
Fucking meat bag.
Go call an ambulance! Come on, breathe.
Are you okay? What the hell? He's cheating on you.
- What? - Steve.
I know it's against the guy code, but fuck it.
I saw him in the kitchen with some girl.
He was I'm sorry.
You deserve to know.
Hey, need some help? Oh, thanks.
I don't know why they make these cabinets so high.
Oh! Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's all right.
- I'm so sorry.
Oh, I I will replace them.
Judy, stop.
I - Stop.
- I'm such a klutz.
You're adorable.
Any more ice? There's some in the sink.
Sam! Let's go! But I'm not finished talking to Ricky.
Now.
All right.
I'll get the salad bowl.
Sorry.
Are you drinking on the clock? I don't believe in clocks.
Must be why I've been called timeless.
Want a drip? Okay, so I was wondering.
Um, when you said you'd help me put together a modeling portfolio, were you being serious? As cancer.
'cause I think I'm ready y you know, just to have on hand in case an opportunity comes up for, like, a local ad or something.
Screw local.
You need to be thinking regional.
But if we're going to do this, you need to put your complete faith in me.
Okay.
Okay.
Cool? Snag that brew back? - Oh.
Yeah.
Sorry.
- Thank you.
I call.
What have you got? A full house.
- Ooh.
- Kings over 7s.
Herb, that's really good.
Um, well, I don't know what you call my hand in your country, but where I come from it's known as a royal flush.
- Ohh! - Son of a bitch.
He wasn't bluffing.
Ha ha ha ha ha! No, I was not! Oh, my goodness, I am fucking untouchable today! Well, well, well.
What have we got here, gentlemen? Uh, Mr.
Getty, uh, well, uh Because it looks suspiciously like you're gambling at my club of the anniversary of our nation's birth, which is strictly against Red Oaks' bylaws, and you didn't have the decency to invite me.
Yes, well, I can explain that.
- Ah, the game's over anyway.
- Yeah.
It was fun, gentlemen.
Do this again some time.
Will you give us a minute, please? Nice knowing you, Nash.
Right.
Ah, that seems mathematic.
I'll get these out of your way.
Sorry.
I would have invited you.
I figured Ah.
Sit down.
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
Go ahead.
Sir? Cut the deck.
High card wins.
Uh, what's the wager? How much did you win? It's, uh it's about 3 grand.
Okay.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Hm.
That's a tough break.
That's a tough break.
Okay.
Why don't you want me to coach you? I like you, Nasser.
I do.
Everybody likes you here: the members, their wives.
You're an amusing guy.
You're amusing.
I just I like my chances with the kid.
Galexa.
I'm sorry, sir? Galexa.
That's the name of my friend's pharmaceutical company.
The symbol is GLX.
You're going to want to write that down.
You didn't hear it from me.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
- Hey, you.
- Hey.
You hear what happened to Wheeler? Is he going to be okay? I think so.
You want to go watch the fireworks? It's still pretty early.
Oh, we can go find a good place to sit on the fairway.
No, no.
Anybody can be a bass player.
Like, do you know how much Michael Anthony drinks during the course of one Van Halen concert? It's like gallons.
Oh, hey, babe.
You know, it was kind of gross watching you give mouth-to-mouth to that little chub scout.
What the Come on, babe.
I Fuck off.
Misty! Not so close to the house, Sam.
Ah.
Please.
Oh, Judy, come on.
They're starting.
Come on.
Come out.
It's too many bugs.
I got spray.
Come here.
Enough.
Enough.
Just hold still.
You're going to give me breast cancer.
Must be nice to have a front row seat at the club.
Maybe next year David could sneak us in.
Whoa! I've been thinking about it.
Hmm.
I think we should buy a place in the Hamptons.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
I have a feeling this is going to be a good year.
Mom, look! But you hate the Hamptons.
I'll get over it.
You realize this doesn't mean she's going to want to spend more time with us.
It doesn't mean she won't.
Beachfront? Of course beachfront.
Mm.
Mm-mm! You're the best.
I really am.
