Hey, Paul.
Sorry I'm late, I had What's missing? Notice anything different? Yeah, it's, uh No, I get it.

The order came in online yesterday after you left.
I packaged everything up myself, and sent it off.
Really? Really.
Cheers.
You get me four or five of those prints by the 1st, this wall is yours.
- Alright.
- Okay.
Alright.
This is totally surreal.
Have fun.
I mean don't have fun, but, you know what I mean.
Yeah.
- Thank you! - Hey Good luck.
Yeah, we'll go with that.
You've been working a lot more lately.
Yeah, trying to keep out of trouble, I guess.
A bar's definitely the best place for that.
Fuck.
Good luck staying out of trouble.
- Jeremy.
- I know I shouldn't be here.
It's like Mistress 101 or something.
Mistress 101? You weren't returning my phone calls and I didn't know where else to find you, so I'm sorry we never went to your place because it was "stuffy.
" And a text message just seemed desperate, so This isn't desperate.
Yeah, okay.
Fair.
Look, Jeremy, I'm sorry about what I said the other day.
But I need you to know that I meant every word.
I know that.
So then what's going on? Do you want a beer? I mean what? I just feel like I owe you an apology.
Are you in AA or something? No Maybe I should be, but this isn't about me.
I just wanted to say, I'm sorry.
Jeremy, this isn't your fault.
You didn't know.
Yes, I did.
You know I did.
No, I don't know I I don't even know what you're talking about.
Okay, look, this one's for you, that one's for Cal.
Did you just say Cal? Jeez, how many of those do you have? This is an art gallery; it's basically the water fountain, right? Isn't it your job to stock this shit, anyway? I'll get right on that.
You know I really I shouldn't I have a lot of work to do.
Oh, bullshit, you don't.
What if somebody comes in.
Oh, and then who's gonna smile at them, and then immediately go back to checking their Facebook page? Me That's my job.
Well, you're smiling now, so if anyone comes in we're covered.
You look happy, kiddo It's weird! I guess I'm kinda drunk.
And somebody on the internet likes me.
I'm sorry, I really shouldn't be this drunk at work.
Okay How about this We're closed for the day.
Executive decision.
Me.
Executive decision.
It's not like anyone buys anything here anyway.
We might as well be online only at this point.
The only reason why I keep this space is for events.
And to distinguish myself from fucking Etsy.
So why'd you hire me? Consider it artistic patronage.
And I'm lazy.
I'm lazy, I mean, shipping that print today was the most tedious thing I've ever done in my life.
