My friend likes golf.
I mostly go for the tennis.
Oh, yeah? Tennis? Are you good? Pretty good.
Hmm.
Why? Do you play? Uh, yeah.
I mean, I've played.
You ever been beaten by a girl? UhWell No.
I don't think I've ever really liked a girl enough To let her win.
I see.
Is that a challenge? Are you challenging me? Wait a minute.
You threw the challenge down at me.
No, I just asked a question.
You came back all tough guy on me.
Well, I can't help that.
That's -- I just give that off.
I just exude tkat.
It's hard, you know? But if you take it as a challenge, Then, you know, I can't back down from it.
Oh.
So How do you solve this? What are you doing tonight, tough guy? Um Am I losing to you at tennis? 50! Oh, no.
No, no, no.
It's okay.
Kenneth has had enough.
All right, pull the plug, carlos.
Oh.
Whoa! Mom?! W-- no, wait till he gets out! That's right.
In what world are you dating two women? Well, that's what I'm talking about.
I don't think I can do this.
What's the problem? "what's the problem?" That's the problem.
You.
Being you.
That should hurt me, but it doesn't.
Yeah, look.
Don't be me.
Be joe.
Be joe in this situation, right? Michelle, the one I'm alreadyYou know? There's nothing wrong with her, exactly, It's just, she's all Sexy? And sexual and -- and -- I know it sounds like a good thing, And it is.
It is.
It's just Okay, like, here you go.
For example This morning, she's leaving, D -- and she grabbed my crotch.
I- I-I'm not explaining it the right way.
It was more the way she grabbed my crotch.
Is there a wrong way to do that, joe? What the hell is wrong with you, man? It's good.
No, look.
It's fun.
It's all fun.
It's good.
It's just I don't know if we're on the same wavelength.
And with the other one you are.
I don't know.
I mean It just seems like maybe She's more my speed.
You know? But I-I don't know.
All right.
So, here's the thing.
You don't have enough information.
And the only way to get that is to date both of them.
But, you see, that's the part that I don't know how to do.
Then what? All of a sudden, I'm with one, And she's, "hey, what'd you do last night?" And I was with the other one.
Now I-I got to -- I got to lie.
I'm, "uhh" And then I'm, what? I'm wearing a fake mustache? I got two cellphones? No.
Joe, just relax.
It's very simple, all right? You just have to learn the following helpful phrase.
"we don't have to define things right away.
" This is like if your penis could hire a lawyer.
What -- what -- what does that mean? Just what it says.
You don't have to define things right away.
Yeah, okay, and then when do you define things? When she brings it up.
Or if you get to a point where you're uncomfortable, then you bring it up.
Well, y-- and then what do you say? You say "look, I really like you, all right? "but you should know that I'm not at a point in my life right now Where I'm looking for something serious.
" So, either she's comfortable with that, In which case, great.
Or she's not, in which case, she ends it.
Either way, you're in the clear.
I see why you hired this guy to be a car salesman.
right? Which, by the way, no.
He leaves a message, Asking if I want to trade my truck in.
Yo, he's still my customer, dude.
That's what I told the sucker.
Yeah, trying to poach my ups.
I gave you a job.
For shame.
Hey, hey.
I made a bet, okay? It was stupid.
What do you mean a bet? What kind of bet? A big bet? What kind of bet? What? What, oh, I can't ask about other people's bets now? Is that it? All right.
Whatever.
I'm dating two women at once, So you guys can both shut the hell up.
you got that right, joe.
We on a roll! that was my penis talking.
Yeah, we get it.
So, this is basically -- Ah, don't let me interrupt.
I got to get some -- Dale! hey, man! Hey, just doing some business with your boy here.
Glad you kept it in the family.
Well, I'm glad we were able to do the same with you.
I'll get right out of your way.
Um So, this is basically just an extension at the current terms.
Is that all right? Yeah.
I mean, we just have to make an adjustment Now, where is my newspaper? It's been a couple years Since we hammered out the last one, so You know, I'm just talking about a standard adjustment here.
Uh, well, um -- inflation? Oh, don't tell me you gonna try that dusty old gambit, dale.
It's not a gambit.
Don't piss from the roof and tell me it's raining.
Who do you think you're talking to, dale? Look, we've been at these rates for three years.
And has your overhead gone up in that amount of time? Because if you have numbers to that effect Look, let's just renew the old contract.
That's what I thought.
As a favor to a valued customer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Listen, dale, now that I'm retiring, I'm gonna be doing a lot more of this lakers stuff.
They're having an unveiling tomorrow Of this community center they're renovating.
There'll be games, autographs, so you ought to bring the kids.
I just might do that.
Okay.
It's good seeing you, o.
T.
3:00.
- All finished? - Yeah.
Actually, you know what? I'm not sure I am.
W- what, you got another meeting or something? Uh, yeah, daddy, I do have another meeting.
In fact, I got a whole lot of them, years of them, As I'm now, or so I thought, in charge of this dealership.
And to have to come begging every time I need this office? It undermines me.
It undermines you.
Yeah, it undermines my efforts to establish myself as -- From what I heard from that so-called negotiation, The only person undermining you is yourself.
There was no questions, no counter-- I didn't get a chance! You swooped right in and took over! Goddamn right I did, once I saw you frozen in the headlights.
Excuse me? "frozen"? Like a little baby deer.
Daddy, I took a breath! Son, I just saved you thousands of dollars, And you're in my face like that's a problem.
What do you thk I stick around here for? You think I stick around for myself? I got things to do.
And the only reason I stay around here Is because you are still learning the ropes.
So, watch and learn, son While you still got the chance.
Watch and learn.
Well, you know, don't say it like that.
I mean, I'm just -- I'm trying something new.
But, so, are you not acting anymore? Uh, well You know, I don't know.
Nothing right now.
Listen, is there any chance you want to buy something or Oh.
I don't think so, no.
I am all set for now.
Okay.
Well, um Nice -- nice, um Talking with you, beck.
Yeah.
And, um, good luck with this.
Thanks.
You know, I think this could be really good for you, terry.
I mean, you weren't the most focused guy When we were together, you know? So, am I dressed okay? This is basically golf with sneakers, right? You're fine.
Okay.
Ready? Yeah.
15-love.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You didn't say you were really good.
Yes, I did.
No, you didn't.
You said you were pretty good.
Ah, well All right.
No, it's okay.
So, I'm just -- I'm not gonna hold back, then.
Please don't.
All right.
I'm going all out.
Okay.
30-love.
So, no, then.
No.
But I think this is a good gig for you, terry.
WellThank you, jen.
Yeah, because who's better than you At getting people to buy something totally unreliable That's probably going to break down in six months And leave you worse off than before? You know I know that I wasn't, you know, the most focused guy When we were together.
Bye, terry.
Bye.
That's the match.
Yeah.
Had enough? Huh? No, no, no.

Yeah, it was good.
Yeah? Yeah.
I'm gonna need, you know, A couple months of physical therapy.

There's gonna be a next time.
Oh.
Yeah, I mean I hope so.
Me, too.

My kids are at my place.
Huh.
Well Just stay here until somebody yells, "get a room.
" You see, he can't have me be the big dog, right? As long as he's there, he's got to be the big dog.
And there's not enough room for the two of you.
I get it.
Are you listening to me? There's literally not enough room In my tiny excuse for an office For me to do my job.
I'm just glad I get a day to have a place to myself.
What do you mean? He's gonna be out tomorrow at that -- Whatever the hell that lakers thing is.
Oh.

He was never really a big star in the nba.
But at the dealership You know, I was so young when he played ball, I don't really remember it.
But what I do remember is him behind that big desk, You know, talking on the phone and doing paperwork.
Just radiating this feeling that, um He was in charge.
Everything would be taken care of.
I could stand to have that feeling a little longer.

She's the cool one.
You know? But albert.
He's like me -- albert.
JustSocially awkward, bad with humans.
200! 50 more, carlos! Okay? Just 50 more.
Okay.
So, what, um Do you, uh, golf at that place a lot? Not really.
My friend likes golf.
I mostly go for the tennis.
Oh, yeah? Tennis? Are you good? Pretty good.
Hmm.
Why? Do you play? Uh, yeah.
I mean, I've played.
You ever been beaten by a girl? UhWell No.
I don't think I've ever really liked a girl enough To let her win.
I see.
Is that a challenge? Are you challenging me? Wait a minute.
You threw the challenge down at me.
No, I just asked a question.
You came back all tough guy on me.
Well, I can't help that.
That's -- I just give that off.
I just exude tkat.
It's hard, you know? But if you take it as a challenge, Then, you know, I can't back down from it.
Oh.
So How do you solve this? What are you doing tonight, tough guy? Um Am I losing to you at tennis? 50! Oh, no.
No, no, no.
It's okay.
Kenneth has had enough.
All right, pull the plug, carlos.
Oh.
Whoa! Mom?! W-- no, wait till he gets out! That's right.
In what world are you dating two women? Well, that's what I'm talking about.
I don't think I can do this.
What's the problem? "what's the problem?" That's the problem.
You.
Being you.
That should hurt me, but it doesn't.
Yeah, look.
Don't be me.
Be joe.
Be joe in this situation, right? Michelle, the one I'm alreadyYou know? There's nothing wrong with her, exactly, It's just, she's all Sexy? And sexual and -- and -- I know it sounds like a good thing, And it is.
It is.
It's just Okay, like, here you go.
For example This morning, she's leaving, D -- and she grabbed my crotch.
I- I-I'm not explaining it the right way.
It was more the way she grabbed my crotch.
Is there a wrong way to do that, joe? What the hell is wrong with you, man? It's good.
No, look.
It's fun.
It's all fun.
It's good.
It's just I don't know if we're on the same wavelength.
And with the other one you are.
I don't know.
I mean It just seems like maybe She's more my speed.
You know? But I-I don't know.
All right.
So, here's the thing.
You don't have enough information.
And the only way to get that is to date both of them.
But, you see, that's the part that I don't know how to do.
Then what? All of a sudden, I'm with one, And she's, "hey, what'd you do last night?" And I was with the other one.
Now I-I got to -- I got to lie.
I'm, "uhh" And then I'm, what? I'm wearing a fake mustache? I got two cellphones? No.
Joe, just relax.
It's very simple, all right? You just have to learn the following helpful phrase.
"we don't have to define things right away.
" This is like if your penis could hire a lawyer.
What -- what -- what does that mean? Just what it says.
You don't have to define things right away.
Yeah, okay, and then when do you define things? When she brings it up.
Or if you get to a point where you're uncomfortable, then you bring it up.
Well, y-- and then what do you say? You say "look, I really like you, all right? "but you should know that I'm not at a point in my life right now Where I'm looking for something serious.
" So, either she's comfortable with that, In which case, great.
Or she's not, in which case, she ends it.
Either way, you're in the clear.
I see why you hired this guy to be a car salesman.
right? Which, by the way, no.
He leaves a message, Asking if I want to trade my truck in.
Yo, he's still my customer, dude.
That's what I told the sucker.
Yeah, trying to poach my ups.
I gave you a job.
For shame.
Hey, hey.
I made a bet, okay? It was stupid.
What do you mean a bet? What kind of bet? A big bet? What kind of bet? What? What, oh, I can't ask about other people's bets now? Is that it? All right.
Whatever.
I'm dating two women at once, So you guys can both shut the hell up.
you got that right, joe.
We on a roll! that was my penis talking.
Yeah, we get it.
So, this is basically -- Ah, don't let me interrupt.
I got to get some -- Dale! hey, man! Hey, just doing some business with your boy here.
Glad you kept it in the family.
Well, I'm glad we were able to do the same with you.
I'll get right out of your way.
Um So, this is basically just an extension at the current terms.
Is that all right? Yeah.
I mean, we just have to make an adjustment Now, where is my newspaper? It's been a couple years Since we hammered out the last one, so You know, I'm just talking about a standard adjustment here.
Uh, well, um -- inflation? Oh, don't tell me you gonna try that dusty old gambit, dale.
It's not a gambit.
Don't piss from the roof and tell me it's raining.
Who do you think you're talking to, dale? Look, we've been at these rates for three years.
And has your overhead gone up in that amount of time? Because if you have numbers to that effect Look, let's just renew the old contract.
That's what I thought.
As a favor to a valued customer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Listen, dale, now that I'm retiring, I'm gonna be doing a lot more of this lakers stuff.
They're having an unveiling tomorrow Of this community center they're renovating.
There'll be games, autographs, so you ought to bring the kids.
I just might do that.
Okay.
It's good seeing you, o.
T.
3:00.
- All finished? - Yeah.
Actually, you know what? I'm not sure I am.
W- what, you got another meeting or something? Uh, yeah, daddy, I do have another meeting.
In fact, I got a whole lot of them, years of them, As I'm now, or so I thought, in charge of this dealership.
And to have to come begging every time I need this office? It undermines me.
It undermines you.
Yeah, it undermines my efforts to establish myself as -- From what I heard from that so-called negotiation, The only person undermining you is yourself.
There was no questions, no counter-- I didn't get a chance! You swooped right in and took over! Goddamn right I did, once I saw you frozen in the headlights.
Excuse me? "frozen"? Like a little baby deer.
Daddy, I took a breath! Son, I just saved you thousands of dollars, And you're in my face like that's a problem.
What do you thk I stick around here for? You think I stick around for myself? I got things to do.
And the only reason I stay around here Is because you are still learning the ropes.
So, watch and learn, son While you still got the chance.
Watch and learn.
Well, you know, don't say it like that.
I mean, I'm just -- I'm trying something new.
But, so, are you not acting anymore? Uh, well You know, I don't know.
Nothing right now.
Listen, is there any chance you want to buy something or Oh.
I don't think so, no.
I am all set for now.
Okay.
Well, um Nice -- nice, um Talking with you, beck.
Yeah.
And, um, good luck with this.
Thanks.
You know, I think this could be really good for you, terry.
I mean, you weren't the most focused guy When we were together, you know? So, am I dressed okay? This is basically golf with sneakers, right? You're fine.
Okay.
Ready? Yeah.
15-love.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You didn't say you were really good.
Yes, I did.
No, you didn't.
You said you were pretty good.
Ah, well All right.
No, it's okay.
So, I'm just -- I'm not gonna hold back, then.
Please don't.
All right.
I'm going all out.
Okay.
30-love.
So, no, then.
No.
But I think this is a good gig for you, terry.
WellThank you, jen.
Yeah, because who's better than you At getting people to buy something totally unreliable That's probably going to break down in six months And leave you worse off than before? You know I know that I wasn't, you know, the most focused guy When we were together.
Bye, terry.
Bye.
That's the match.
Yeah.
Had enough? Huh? No, no, no.

Yeah? Yeah.
I'm gonna need, you know, A couple months of physical therapy.

There's gonna be a next time.
Oh.
Yeah, I mean I hope so.
Me, too.

My kids are at my place.
Huh.
Well Just stay here until somebody yells, "get a room.
" You see, he can't have me be the big dog, right? As long as he's there, he's got to be the big dog.
And there's not enough room for the two of you.
I get it.
Are you listening to me? There's literally not enough room In my tiny excuse for an office For me to do my job.
I'm just glad I get a day to have a place to myself.
What do you mean? He's gonna be out tomorrow at that -- Whatever the hell that lakers thing is.
Oh.
