Hey, it's gonna be fun.
Save the date.
Okay.
See you.
What date? What -- Aw, see? I'm missing all this.
All right, you got to hang out.
This is bullshit.
Relax.
I got a little time before I have to meet Erin.
So Erin, huh -- so are you still, uh -- I believe the term you used was "in love"? I don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
I should have known why you didn't hit on the waitress or the hostess or me.
Actually, Erin's been at a, uh, teachers' workshop, so I haven't seen her in a week.
Okay, good, good.
I'm glad you guys are still, uh, whatever.

I come here all the time.
Hey.
Wow.
Boy, I didn't know if you still worked here.
How are you? I'm good.
Really good.
Great, good.
Look at you.
Is that for a part or something? No, no.
I'm done with all that.
Actually, I'm working for Owen.
Really? The -- the car guy? Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, he says hi.
Oh, he does? He knew you were gonna see me? No, no.
But, I mean, he -- he would have said hi.
It's a hypothetical hi.
Ah.
Can I get a, uh, large black, uh, coffee mm-hmm.
And a, uh, mediterranean panini? That'll just be a couple minutes.
Okay.
Great.
I'm Annie.

Thanks.
Just go ahead and, uh, start eating.
Old friend? Yeah.
Not that old.
Actually, she's, uh -- she's 58.
Really good using her sunscreen.
Uh-huh.
That was sort of a -- a fling.
I understand.
Hey, you know, this isn't really, um, quite the "welcome back" meal that I was hoping for, so maybe -- maybe tonight I could make you some risotto? That's okay.
Uh, you know what? I'm so behind on grading papers and Oh, okay.
I mean, you don't have to knock yourself out, though.
We can just -- we could go out to Norm's.
I know you like that place.
No.
I want to cook for you.
Really? Yeah.
Or is there some other young girl at Norm's you don't want me to meet? No, no.
There is no young girl at Norm's.
What's the New Year's Eve stuff? Who put this here? It looked like regular party stuff.
Well, no.
Come on.
It says, "Happy New Year 2009.
" Yeah, get rid of this stuff.
I'm doing the golf thing.
I need you be on top of this stuff.
I know.
Golf going good, though? Hey, I think that's your, uh Oh, yeah.
Oh.
Hey, sorry.
I -- Albert's sleeping over at Wes' later, and he forgot, well, everything.
Oh, geez.
All right.
Come on.
Yeah.
I was gonna put it in there, but the door was locked.
Really? Oh.
I don't know.
I tried it.
I -- but I guess I didn't twist hard enough or something.
Well, sometimes it sticks.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
I'm all over the place.
Phew! Well, you know what? I should have -- I should have reminded Albert about the guitar thing this morning.
No, it's not your fault.
That's Albert.
That's his whole thing now.
He just roams around, and I'm supposed to follow him like a servant.
Hey, um, you -- are you okay? I mean, uh, you -- you doing all right? 'Cause you just -- I don't know.
You look, uh -- yeah.
No, I'm fine.
Yeah.
I'm just Oh, stop.
All right, come here, come here.
Sit down, sit down.
What? No, it's nothing.
No, tell me.
What? What? What? I shouldn't get into this with you.
Come on.
It's okay.
I broke up with Harold.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
About a week ago, I found out He was cheating on me with a student.
Well, I guess that's my comeuppance, huh? Hey, come on.
It's, um I guess now I know how you feel.
Stop.
Stop it.
Come on.
No, I know, I know.
Just Look, I haven't told the kids yet, so I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't say anything.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to I should go.
Wait.
Well, I mean, I'm just saying, you want to -- hang out here if you want or -- I don't know, should we get dinner later or something? Oh, well, shit.
What? No, I forgot.
I'm -- I'm taking a -- a friend to dinner.
Oh, God.
You have a date.
No, no, no.
It's just a -- it's a friend.
That's all.
I just -- I had it.
We planned it.
Look, really, don't worry about me, okay? Yeah, I know, I know.
But, uh I'll see you later, Joe.
Just make sure to get that stuff to Albert for tonight.
Yep.
Yeah.
All right.
Hey.
Slow day? Kevin Scarpulla.
There he is.
All the way from Scarpulla Chevrolet/Nissan/Mazda and -- what else you got going down the street there? Selling helicopters yet? Not yet.
Hey, Carl.
What's up? How's he working out for you? 'Cause to be honest with you, when he was with us, he sucked ass.
Just fine.
Change of location -- that's all it takes sometimes.
By the way, my Big Brother is still pissed that we're down 20 sales a month since you jumped ship.
Yeah, he's a good man.
He's a pain in the ass.
So, um, what's up? Well, for starters, I hear that corporate is thinking about downsizing in the zip code.
Let's go up to my office.
Is there someplace I can chuck this? Ah.
We installed one of those gourmet coffee bars in our lounge, and I am hooked.
So, uh, you were saying about corporate.
It's probably just a rumor.
But we are gonna start doing Kias, and we're totally out of lot space, and we're prepared to make a deal with you for this place.
Really? A good deal.
Now, I know that your father has to agree to this, but I figured I'd approach you first because he can be a little emotional.
Because he hates you guys? That he does.
Now, if you could convince him that it would be worthwhile, the two of you could ride off into the sunset with some pretty sweet cash.
We're not for sale.
Actually, I think you are.
Everybody knows that you had to scrap plans for a body shop.
Now, I don't know what's going on here financially, but let's get real.
It can't be good, right? So this is what we're thinking Thoreau is worth, and this is what we are prepared to pay you if we take on your Chevy inventory.
I have to get back to work.
Think about it.
I don't care how delicious this risotto is I have to leave by 8:00, this all right? Oh, now, well, look, you can't rush risotto, so how about 9:00? Come on.
Whoa.
Oh, God.
What is it? What happened? My landlord is a complete ass.
He always does this.
He always does this? No, no, no.
I-I mean, very rarely.
But -- but then this is what he always does.
Hey, Mark.
Terry.
I just got back to the building, found your little surprise.
Call me.
You said he's done this before.
Why? Why would he -- Well, technically, I'm the building manager, right? And -- and I'm supposed to be around to show apartments.
And he gets all upset, you know, if I'm not or -- or if I-I don't do some little repair or His message says he's in Jamaica for the weekend.
God, I'm screwed.
You know You can stay with me.
Really? Oh, of course.
You need a place to stay, right, for tonight -- or, you know, however Uh So, mom's, uh, gonna pick you up tomorrow, right? If she doesn't forget.
Hey, you got to take it easy on mom, all right? She's going through a rough time.
I know.
The change.
Yeah.
So, what the heck is this all about? All-night band practice? Wes' mom said it's okay, so it's gonna be really cool, you know? Yeah.
So, what are you doing? What am I doing? Uh, tonight, um, I'm going to dinner with a friend of mine.
And then, uh, I got to hit the practice range tomorrow morning, so, um -- so I got to get to bed early.
So I got to get to bed early.
Wow.
My last night before chemo, right out of the gate, you got to lay down some pussy rules.
No.
I mean, we're gonna hang out.
I just -- I got the golf, man.
I tell you, I've been playing shitty, so Excuse me.
Can you stay out late? My friend here has a curfew.
No.
Sorry.
All right.
No big deal.
Got the lucky shirt on.
Just a matter of time.
That's, uh -- that's the lucky shirt, huh? Oh, yeah.
Had to break it out.
All right.
So, when's our table gonna be ready? I want my last meal.
Oh, come on, man.
I'm gonna be doing a lot of jokes like that, so you might as well get used to it.
Tomorrow, I start a long, shitty time, so tonight I don't care what I say or do or eat.
So don't be a jzimma jzeetz and spoil my fun.
A what? Jzimma jzeetz.
It means douche bag or moron, idiot -- anything from the douche bag family.
It's Italian.
I made it up a long time ago.
Well, okay, if you made it up, how does it mean anything really, right? I saw a guy once.
He was being a douche bag.
So I called him that.
That's how words get made, Joe.
All right, I guess.
Oh, man, I-I saw my ex today.
She broke up with that guy that she kind of left me for.
Oh, that was weird.
I couldn't tell if she was kind of wishing we started back up or, I don't know, hooked up.
That wouldn't be cool, though.
That would be like a rebound thing and -- shit, I don't know.
The whole thing just confused me.
I don't want to hear this shit on my last night with hair.
All right.
Yeah, sorry.
I have these other guys I usually tell this stuff to.
I just -- I'm thinking about it.
I don't know.
I just don't know.
What are you doing? I'm shutting you up, and I'm getting you laid.
Let's see.
Sonia, Sonia.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
All right.
Here it is.
Oh, she's still in your favorites.
That's interesting.
Okay, okay.
Tell her that you've really been thinking about her.
All right, relax, huh? All right, fine.
I tried.
Yeah, you tried.
What's good here? Are the steaks good? Be right back.
That's why we're eatin' here? You're making a collection? Are you kidding me? Stop bitching, Joe.
This worked out great for you.
Bill's picking up the whole tab.
The funny part is, I think he's being so nice because he thinks you're my muscle.
What? No.
It's freaking hilarious.
Why is it hilarious? Smells fishy in here.
Shoot, I was all set to give everybody hot dogs, but your father showed up with mackerel.
Of course the boys had to have it.
Oh, of course.
Okay, look, I'm sorry about the mess, but I got to go work, so can you Yeah, I got it.
Jamie, hit the shower.
Oh, and I think Hana's still hungry.
Okay.
Okay, 40 short-answer tests to grade.
Next time, multiple choice.
Smells good.
I'm gonna finish that off with some parsley right before we eat.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must unpack.
Ah.
Oh, my God, how do you make this? I can't even boil water.
The secret is to become an actor and then never get work.
Ah, yes.
Yep, and then, uh, you know, you got to let that simmer for about 30 years.
And that gives you time to, you know, develop all sorts of hobbies, like cooking.
Unemployment is the key.
Yep, but you got to stick to it.
Oh.
Oh.
Ted came out.
He usually hides from strangers.
Hi, Teddy.
Aww.
I think you made a new friend.
You got to write up all this stuff tonight, huh? Yup.
Aww, thank you.
You're welcome.
Hey, the funniest thing happened today -- um, Scarpulla's dickhead brother came by and said he wants to buy us out.
Uh, yeah.
Here's the, um -- here's the offer.
Wow.
What did you say? I said no, of course.
Well, it's not like your dad would ever go for it.
No.
Of course not.
Okay, do me a favor.
Will you hold on to that? I have to review these.
Okay.
Let me see.
Test one, two.
And even with the hole my dad has left us in, you know, the business is worth something.
I guess so.
Okay, talk into the walkie-talkie.
Listen -- I have to confess -- I thought at one point about how great it would be to just sell everything and get out from under it.
Could you walk away? I could, but the offer was so low.
No.
Walk away so I can see how these things work.
Oh.
Well, Scarpulla's a snake.
He's been spying on us.
Plus, you're right -- my dad would never sell to him, not in a million years.
I'm going to sleep.
Over.
Not "sleepover.
" "Sleep, over," and out.
Copy that.
Aw, man.
You know my coach -- he has me eating all this healthy shit.
This is hitting the spot.
Yeah, sometimes you just got to say, "to hell with it," and enjoy life.
Live for now.
Yeah.
Ooh, ahh.
Yeah, you know, it's funny.
My kid is staying at his friend's house all night, doing band practice.
Remember that? Remember being that young? No responsibility -- just stay up all night, not give a shit about what's happening the next day? I'd like to do more than just remember it, Joe.
It's the shirt, Joe.
The shirt is magic.
Plus, we're paying them.
Well, we all pay in the long run, right? Guess so, yeah.
Is something wrong? Oh, no, no.
I'm sorry.
Just, uh, I'm not really used to this.
Oh.
You just relax.
Are you married? Is that it? 'Cause half the guys in here are, so if that's what's bumming you out Yeah, no.
No, no, I'm divorced, actually.
Still friends, and it's all cool, you know? Yeah.
I saw her today, actually.
Mm.
That's nice.
It was weird.
She told me she broke up with her boyfriend.
You know, I couldn't tell -- I got to go dance on the stage.
Oh.
It was nice meeting you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Oh, uh, very good.
Hey, Carly, how about we go again? Sure.
That's 50 bucks.
I was hoping you'd give me a medical discount.
I have cancer.
I'm sure.
No, I do.
Tell her, Joe.
He does.
Really? What kind? Colon, and I've heard all the ass jokes, so don't even bother.
Tomorrow I start chemo, so who knows when I'm gonna get this chance again? Well, you're right.
Colon cancer isn't funny.
My dad has it.
Who's your doctor? This guy Weinman at Memorial.
That's my dad's doctor.
You're kidding.
Small world.
What stage are you? 2, but I had the surgery already, and the guy thinks I'm pretty good, and with the chemo, even better.
My dad's stage 3.
His surgery went really well, too, but his chemo was rough.
He had everything -- hair loss, nausea, weight loss.
Yeah, I'm probably gonna have all that shit, too.
This one's half-price.
Thanks.
Hey, I thought you were going to bed.
Couldn't sleep.
Hey.
It is so cute.
I've been thinking about this Scarpulla thing.
Ooh.
Show me your thinking face.
So, here's the thing -- you know what? If you really can't go to sleep, then you have to help me with some of this stuff.
Sure, dealing with the service guys is a pain in the ass, but the truth is I like going in every day.
It's a lousy offer.
Oh, he thinks he's such hot shit, with his gourmet coffee.
Wow.
The truth is, my dad would rather be fishing.
And made the deal and sprung it on my dad? Owen, go to bed.
What? Go to bed! Hey.
So, I've formulated my Scarpulla strategy.
Owen, why are you still up? And why are you drinking? Listen, that offer he gave to us was low-ball bullshit, just to see if we'd bite.
I'm sure there's more money, all right? I-I've worked for those guys.
I've seen them negotiate.
Owen, how much have you had to drink? Not much.
You know, I just realized something -- my dad has to sell the store now.
He can't run it without me.
I mean, not unless he's gonna come in and bust his ass every day, and that isn't gonna happen.
But you know what? I think that this is something that we can talk about tomorrow morning, okay? Okay, uh -- okay.
Okay.
That's, uh, fine, just, uh -- well, fine.
Although you should be thrilled.
This could be great for you.
See, I'll be available because I won't be tied down at the dealership, and you can pursue all of your writing dreams.
Whoa, whoa, h-hold up.
Yes? What, you're saying that if -- if -- if you're not working there, you'll be here to take care of the kids while I'm working? Damn right I am! You sell that shit, big man.
Yeah.
Yeah! That's what I'm saying! Ooh, we're gonna toast you.
Oh, yes, honey.
We're gonna toast you.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Here is to you, Owen Thoreau.
And to you, my 'lissa.
Ooh.
I will be here as long as it takes to get your career on track.
Well, it shouldn't take so long, I mean, because writing these reviews has shown me I still got my chops.
So now I'm thinking, you know, it might even be in journalism or even, you know, fiction or nonfiction.
Any of those.
You're a great writer.
The chance to explore a different outlet.
That's what I'm talking about, yeah.
Maybe something in music distribution.
You really won't even be having to spend that much time with the kids, you know, because the boys will be in school.
We can send Hana to Montessori in a year and a half.
Montessori is awesome, but even before that, we're gonna make out great on this sale, so we'll have money for a nanny if I have to, you know, take meetings and stuff.
Oh, it'll be great! Let's do it.
Oh.
Oh.
Good night.
Sweet dreams.
Night.
I wasn'tsure this was gonna happen.
Neither was I.
Mm.
All right, Joe.
Thanks for coming out.
Yeah.
Appreciate it.
Oh, and, hey.
Don't ever doubt me or the shirt.
What? What's that? Carly's number.
Who? My lap dancer.
She gave you her number? Yeah, when you were in the men's room talking your boner down.
All right, but you know how this works, right? That'sThat's not her number.
It's probably not even her name, man.
They just -- they pretend they're into you so they get more money.
This ain't that, Joe.
We made a connection.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Um So, tomorrow The chemo You -- you need me to drive you, anything? Nah.
I ain't going.
What are you talking about? You know, my chances are decent without it, so, uh, I'm gonna need my hair and eyebrows right now to close this deal.
Look Look, man.
Are you scared? Is that it? You think this scares me, Joe? Come on.
I grew up in the Bronx.
Bigfoot is the only thing that scares me.
Hey -- Hey, if you're scared, that's all right.
Just bring your lucky shirt with you, man.
That's -- everything's cool.
You got to get the chemo, right, or you're -- you're gonna be a jacka jeetz.
I'm not scared, Joe.
It's just tonight made me think about things from a different angle, that's all.
I'm good.
I'll see you down the road, weirdo.
Hey, we'll double date.
Oh, and, hey, Joe.
It's jzimma jzeetz, okay? Come on.
You're Italian.
Hello? Hey, it's Sonia.
Oh, uh, hey.
Did you call me before? I saw your number on my phone.
Oh, uh, yeah, yeah.
That was an accident sort of, um, but it's all okay now.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
By the way, I, uh -- I got all that stuff over to Albert, and, um You want to come over? Oh, um You don't have to.
Just if you want to.
No, no, no.
Uh, yeah.
Um, I'm just driving home from dinner.
Uh, like in about 20 -- 10 minutes.
Okay.
See you then.
Yeah.
Hey.
You okay? This was a huge mistake.
Why? It isn't your fault.
Just It's Randy.
Oh, oh, wow.
Um, okay.
And we had -- we had just -- we had been through so much, and then when we took a break, I-I thought, "okay, we're done," and -- and I met up with you, and You know, you're so fun.
You know, I just -- I just feel awful because I've been working with him, and I I see what we had, and I But then I'd started this fling with you, and Oh, God.
I'm a horrible person.
No, no.
You're -- you're not.
Uh And then I got up to go to the bathroom, and I saw our toothbrushes there, and it hit me, you know.
I'm 46.
I can't just throw it all away on a fling.
I wasn't thinking of this as a -- as a fling.
No, I mean I know -- I know you weren't.
So, okay, why don't we, um Why don't you just come back to bed -- no, I -- I'm sorry.
I-I have to do this.
You should probably stay on the couch.
I'll get you some sheets.
Oh, I swear, Joe.
I've been acting like a crazy person.
I spent three hours this afternoon scouring Harold's Facebook page.
He's got a Facebook page? I mean, what did I think I'd find? Hey, never know.
These kids, they don't have the decency to sneak around like we did.
Like I did, you mean.
No, that was a generational "we.
" I swear.
I was just -- I was old-Manning it -- you know, "eh, the kids nowadays.
" No, come on.
We don't got to bring any of that stuff up.

Should I turn the lights off? No.
Why? Well, you Never mind.

Yeah, turn them off.
Oh.
Hmm.
Wait a second.

Me too.
Something feels a little A little weird, right? Yeah.
Gosh.
How come? I don't know.

How sick is that? Oh, wow.
All right, we're gonna stop.
Right? Yeah.
I'm sorry, Joe.
No -- what, sorry? Look Look, this would be great But You know, we shouldn't do it.
I'm sorry about Harold.
Look, whatever you do, deal with it.

You know? It's not good.
Come on.
That's some top-20 sweet-guy shit right there.

So Erin, huh -- so are you still, uh -- I believe the term you used was "in love"? I don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
I should have known why you didn't hit on the waitress or the hostess or me.
Actually, Erin's been at a, uh, teachers' workshop, so I haven't seen her in a week.

But, I mean, he -- he would have said hi.
It's a hypothetical hi.

Old friend? Yeah.
Not that old.
Actually, she's, uh -- she's 58.
Really good using her sunscreen.
Uh-huh.
That was sort of a -- a fling.
I understand.
Hey, you know, this isn't really, um, quite the "welcome back" meal that I was hoping for, so maybe -- maybe tonight I could make you some risotto? That's okay.
Uh, you know what? I'm so behind on grading papers and Oh, okay.
I mean, you don't have to knock yourself out, though.
We can just -- we could go out to Norm's.
I know you like that place.
No.
I want to cook for you.
Really? Yeah.
Or is there some other young girl at Norm's you don't want me to meet? No, no.
There is no young girl at Norm's.
What's the New Year's Eve stuff? Who put this here? It looked like regular party stuff.
Well, no.
Come on.
It says, "Happy New Year 2009.
" Yeah, get rid of this stuff.
I'm doing the golf thing.
I need you be on top of this stuff.
I know.
Golf going good, though? Hey, I think that's your, uh Oh, yeah.
Oh.
Hey, sorry.
I -- Albert's sleeping over at Wes' later, and he forgot, well, everything.
Oh, geez.
All right.
Come on.
Yeah.
I was gonna put it in there, but the door was locked.
Really? Oh.
I don't know.
I tried it.
I -- but I guess I didn't twist hard enough or something.
Well, sometimes it sticks.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
I'm all over the place.
Phew! Well, you know what? I should have -- I should have reminded Albert about the guitar thing this morning.
No, it's not your fault.
That's Albert.
That's his whole thing now.
He just roams around, and I'm supposed to follow him like a servant.
Hey, um, you -- are you okay? I mean, uh, you -- you doing all right? 'Cause you just -- I don't know.
You look, uh -- yeah.
No, I'm fine.
Yeah.
I'm just Oh, stop.
All right, come here, come here.
Sit down, sit down.
What? No, it's nothing.
No, tell me.
What? What? What? I shouldn't get into this with you.
Come on.
It's okay.
I broke up with Harold.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
About a week ago, I found out He was cheating on me with a student.
Well, I guess that's my comeuppance, huh? Hey, come on.
It's, um I guess now I know how you feel.
Stop.
Stop it.
Come on.
No, I know, I know.
Just Look, I haven't told the kids yet, so I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't say anything.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to I should go.
Wait.
Well, I mean, I'm just saying, you want to -- hang out here if you want or -- I don't know, should we get dinner later or something? Oh, well, shit.
What? No, I forgot.
I'm -- I'm taking a -- a friend to dinner.
Oh, God.
You have a date.
No, no, no.
It's just a -- it's a friend.
That's all.
I just -- I had it.
We planned it.
Look, really, don't worry about me, okay? Yeah, I know, I know.
But, uh I'll see you later, Joe.
Just make sure to get that stuff to Albert for tonight.
Yep.
Yeah.
All right.
Hey.
Slow day? Kevin Scarpulla.
There he is.
All the way from Scarpulla Chevrolet/Nissan/Mazda and -- what else you got going down the street there? Selling helicopters yet? Not yet.
Hey, Carl.
What's up? How's he working out for you? 'Cause to be honest with you, when he was with us, he sucked ass.
Just fine.
Change of location -- that's all it takes sometimes.
By the way, my Big Brother is still pissed that we're down 20 sales a month since you jumped ship.
Yeah, he's a good man.
He's a pain in the ass.
So, um, what's up? Well, for starters, I hear that corporate is thinking about downsizing in the zip code.
Let's go up to my office.
Is there someplace I can chuck this? Ah.
We installed one of those gourmet coffee bars in our lounge, and I am hooked.
So, uh, you were saying about corporate.
It's probably just a rumor.
But we are gonna start doing Kias, and we're totally out of lot space, and we're prepared to make a deal with you for this place.
Really? A good deal.
Now, I know that your father has to agree to this, but I figured I'd approach you first because he can be a little emotional.
Because he hates you guys? That he does.
Now, if you could convince him that it would be worthwhile, the two of you could ride off into the sunset with some pretty sweet cash.
We're not for sale.
Actually, I think you are.
Everybody knows that you had to scrap plans for a body shop.
Now, I don't know what's going on here financially, but let's get real.
It can't be good, right? So this is what we're thinking Thoreau is worth, and this is what we are prepared to pay you if we take on your Chevy inventory.
I have to get back to work.
Think about it.
I don't care how delicious this risotto is I have to leave by 8:00, this all right? Oh, now, well, look, you can't rush risotto, so how about 9:00? Come on.
Whoa.
Oh, God.
What is it? What happened? My landlord is a complete ass.
He always does this.
He always does this? No, no, no.
I-I mean, very rarely.
But -- but then this is what he always does.
Hey, Mark.
Terry.
I just got back to the building, found your little surprise.
Call me.
You said he's done this before.
Why? Why would he -- Well, technically, I'm the building manager, right? And -- and I'm supposed to be around to show apartments.
And he gets all upset, you know, if I'm not or -- or if I-I don't do some little repair or His message says he's in Jamaica for the weekend.
God, I'm screwed.
You know You can stay with me.
Really? Oh, of course.
You need a place to stay, right, for tonight -- or, you know, however Uh So, mom's, uh, gonna pick you up tomorrow, right? If she doesn't forget.
Hey, you got to take it easy on mom, all right? She's going through a rough time.
I know.
The change.
Yeah.
So, what the heck is this all about? All-night band practice? Wes' mom said it's okay, so it's gonna be really cool, you know? Yeah.
So, what are you doing? What am I doing? Uh, tonight, um, I'm going to dinner with a friend of mine.
And then, uh, I got to hit the practice range tomorrow morning, so, um -- so I got to get to bed early.
So I got to get to bed early.
Wow.
My last night before chemo, right out of the gate, you got to lay down some pussy rules.
No.
I mean, we're gonna hang out.
I just -- I got the golf, man.
I tell you, I've been playing shitty, so Excuse me.
Can you stay out late? My friend here has a curfew.
No.
Sorry.
All right.
No big deal.
Got the lucky shirt on.
Just a matter of time.
That's, uh -- that's the lucky shirt, huh? Oh, yeah.
Had to break it out.
All right.
So, when's our table gonna be ready? I want my last meal.
Oh, come on, man.
I'm gonna be doing a lot of jokes like that, so you might as well get used to it.
Tomorrow, I start a long, shitty time, so tonight I don't care what I say or do or eat.
So don't be a jzimma jzeetz and spoil my fun.
A what? Jzimma jzeetz.
It means douche bag or moron, idiot -- anything from the douche bag family.
It's Italian.
I made it up a long time ago.
Well, okay, if you made it up, how does it mean anything really, right? I saw a guy once.
He was being a douche bag.
So I called him that.
That's how words get made, Joe.
All right, I guess.
Oh, man, I-I saw my ex today.
She broke up with that guy that she kind of left me for.
Oh, that was weird.
I couldn't tell if she was kind of wishing we started back up or, I don't know, hooked up.
That wouldn't be cool, though.
That would be like a rebound thing and -- shit, I don't know.
The whole thing just confused me.
I don't want to hear this shit on my last night with hair.
All right.
Yeah, sorry.
I have these other guys I usually tell this stuff to.
I just -- I'm thinking about it.
I don't know.
I just don't know.
What are you doing? I'm shutting you up, and I'm getting you laid.
Let's see.
Sonia, Sonia.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
All right.
Here it is.
Oh, she's still in your favorites.
That's interesting.
Okay, okay.
Tell her that you've really been thinking about her.
All right, relax, huh? All right, fine.
I tried.
Yeah, you tried.
What's good here? Are the steaks good? Be right back.
That's why we're eatin' here? You're making a collection? Are you kidding me? Stop bitching, Joe.
This worked out great for you.
Bill's picking up the whole tab.
The funny part is, I think he's being so nice because he thinks you're my muscle.
What? No.
It's freaking hilarious.
Why is it hilarious? Smells fishy in here.
Shoot, I was all set to give everybody hot dogs, but your father showed up with mackerel.
Of course the boys had to have it.
Oh, of course.
Okay, look, I'm sorry about the mess, but I got to go work, so can you Yeah, I got it.
Jamie, hit the shower.
Oh, and I think Hana's still hungry.
Okay.
Okay, 40 short-answer tests to grade.
Next time, multiple choice.
Smells good.
I'm gonna finish that off with some parsley right before we eat.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must unpack.
Ah.
Oh, my God, how do you make this? I can't even boil water.
The secret is to become an actor and then never get work.
Ah, yes.
Yep, and then, uh, you know, you got to let that simmer for about 30 years.
And that gives you time to, you know, develop all sorts of hobbies, like cooking.
Unemployment is the key.
Yep, but you got to stick to it.
Oh.
Oh.
Ted came out.
He usually hides from strangers.
Hi, Teddy.
Aww.
I think you made a new friend.
You got to write up all this stuff tonight, huh? Yup.
Aww, thank you.
You're welcome.
Hey, the funniest thing happened today -- um, Scarpulla's dickhead brother came by and said he wants to buy us out.
Uh, yeah.
Here's the, um -- here's the offer.
Wow.
What did you say? I said no, of course.
Well, it's not like your dad would ever go for it.
No.
Of course not.
Okay, do me a favor.
Will you hold on to that? I have to review these.
Okay.
Let me see.
Test one, two.
And even with the hole my dad has left us in, you know, the business is worth something.
I guess so.
Okay, talk into the walkie-talkie.
Listen -- I have to confess -- I thought at one point about how great it would be to just sell everything and get out from under it.
Could you walk away? I could, but the offer was so low.
No.
Walk away so I can see how these things work.
Oh.
Well, Scarpulla's a snake.
He's been spying on us.
Plus, you're right -- my dad would never sell to him, not in a million years.
I'm going to sleep.
Over.
Not "sleepover.
" "Sleep, over," and out.
Copy that.
Aw, man.
You know my coach -- he has me eating all this healthy shit.
This is hitting the spot.
Yeah, sometimes you just got to say, "to hell with it," and enjoy life.
Live for now.
Yeah.
Ooh, ahh.
Yeah, you know, it's funny.
My kid is staying at his friend's house all night, doing band practice.
Remember that? Remember being that young? No responsibility -- just stay up all night, not give a shit about what's happening the next day? I'd like to do more than just remember it, Joe.
It's the shirt, Joe.
The shirt is magic.
Plus, we're paying them.
Well, we all pay in the long run, right? Guess so, yeah.
Is something wrong? Oh, no, no.
I'm sorry.
Just, uh, I'm not really used to this.
Oh.
You just relax.
Are you married? Is that it? 'Cause half the guys in here are, so if that's what's bumming you out Yeah, no.
No, no, I'm divorced, actually.
Still friends, and it's all cool, you know? Yeah.
I saw her today, actually.
Mm.
That's nice.
It was weird.
She told me she broke up with her boyfriend.
You know, I couldn't tell -- I got to go dance on the stage.
Oh.
It was nice meeting you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Oh, uh, very good.
Hey, Carly, how about we go again? Sure.
That's 50 bucks.
I was hoping you'd give me a medical discount.
I have cancer.
I'm sure.
No, I do.
Tell her, Joe.
He does.
Really? What kind? Colon, and I've heard all the ass jokes, so don't even bother.
Tomorrow I start chemo, so who knows when I'm gonna get this chance again? Well, you're right.
Colon cancer isn't funny.
My dad has it.
Who's your doctor? This guy Weinman at Memorial.
That's my dad's doctor.
You're kidding.
Small world.
What stage are you? 2, but I had the surgery already, and the guy thinks I'm pretty good, and with the chemo, even better.
My dad's stage 3.
His surgery went really well, too, but his chemo was rough.
He had everything -- hair loss, nausea, weight loss.
Yeah, I'm probably gonna have all that shit, too.
This one's half-price.
Thanks.
Hey, I thought you were going to bed.
Couldn't sleep.
Hey.
It is so cute.
I've been thinking about this Scarpulla thing.
Ooh.
Show me your thinking face.
So, here's the thing -- you know what? If you really can't go to sleep, then you have to help me with some of this stuff.
Sure, dealing with the service guys is a pain in the ass, but the truth is I like going in every day.
It's a lousy offer.
Oh, he thinks he's such hot shit, with his gourmet coffee.
Wow.
The truth is, my dad would rather be fishing.
And made the deal and sprung it on my dad? Owen, go to bed.
What? Go to bed! Hey.
So, I've formulated my Scarpulla strategy.
Owen, why are you still up? And why are you drinking? Listen, that offer he gave to us was low-ball bullshit, just to see if we'd bite.
I'm sure there's more money, all right? I-I've worked for those guys.
I've seen them negotiate.
Owen, how much have you had to drink? Not much.
You know, I just realized something -- my dad has to sell the store now.
He can't run it without me.
I mean, not unless he's gonna come in and bust his ass every day, and that isn't gonna happen.
But you know what? I think that this is something that we can talk about tomorrow morning, okay? Okay, uh -- okay.
Okay.
That's, uh, fine, just, uh -- well, fine.
Although you should be thrilled.
This could be great for you.
See, I'll be available because I won't be tied down at the dealership, and you can pursue all of your writing dreams.
Whoa, whoa, h-hold up.
Yes? What, you're saying that if -- if -- if you're not working there, you'll be here to take care of the kids while I'm working? Damn right I am! You sell that shit, big man.
Yeah.
Yeah! That's what I'm saying! Ooh, we're gonna toast you.
Oh, yes, honey.
We're gonna toast you.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Here is to you, Owen Thoreau.
And to you, my 'lissa.
Ooh.
I will be here as long as it takes to get your career on track.
Well, it shouldn't take so long, I mean, because writing these reviews has shown me I still got my chops.
So now I'm thinking, you know, it might even be in journalism or even, you know, fiction or nonfiction.
Any of those.
You're a great writer.
The chance to explore a different outlet.
That's what I'm talking about, yeah.
Maybe something in music distribution.
You really won't even be having to spend that much time with the kids, you know, because the boys will be in school.
We can send Hana to Montessori in a year and a half.
Montessori is awesome, but even before that, we're gonna make out great on this sale, so we'll have money for a nanny if I have to, you know, take meetings and stuff.
Oh, it'll be great! Let's do it.
Oh.
Oh.
Good night.
Sweet dreams.
Night.
I wasn'tsure this was gonna happen.
Neither was I.
Mm.
All right, Joe.
Thanks for coming out.
Yeah.
Appreciate it.
Oh, and, hey.
Don't ever doubt me or the shirt.
What? What's that? Carly's number.
Who? My lap dancer.
She gave you her number? Yeah, when you were in the men's room talking your boner down.
All right, but you know how this works, right? That'sThat's not her number.
It's probably not even her name, man.
They just -- they pretend they're into you so they get more money.
This ain't that, Joe.
We made a connection.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Um So, tomorrow The chemo You -- you need me to drive you, anything? Nah.
I ain't going.
What are you talking about? You know, my chances are decent without it, so, uh, I'm gonna need my hair and eyebrows right now to close this deal.
Look Look, man.
Are you scared? Is that it? You think this scares me, Joe? Come on.
I grew up in the Bronx.
Bigfoot is the only thing that scares me.
Hey -- Hey, if you're scared, that's all right.
Just bring your lucky shirt with you, man.
That's -- everything's cool.
You got to get the chemo, right, or you're -- you're gonna be a jacka jeetz.
I'm not scared, Joe.
It's just tonight made me think about things from a different angle, that's all.
I'm good.
I'll see you down the road, weirdo.
Hey, we'll double date.
Oh, and, hey, Joe.
It's jzimma jzeetz, okay? Come on.
You're Italian.
Hello? Hey, it's Sonia.
Oh, uh, hey.
Did you call me before? I saw your number on my phone.
Oh, uh, yeah, yeah.
That was an accident sort of, um, but it's all okay now.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
By the way, I, uh -- I got all that stuff over to Albert, and, um You want to come over? Oh, um You don't have to.
Just if you want to.
No, no, no.
Uh, yeah.
Um, I'm just driving home from dinner.
Uh, like in about 20 -- 10 minutes.
Okay.
See you then.
Yeah.
Hey.
You okay? This was a huge mistake.
Why? It isn't your fault.
Just It's Randy.
Oh, oh, wow.
