Okay, thank you, Larry.

I gotta get going.
I'll see you later, okay? I love you.

He's so sweet.

That's the sign for "bye," right? - He's a sweet guy.
- Huh? See, I got that down.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, you're a genius.
- Huh? Bye.
How about so-so? So-so, is that it? - See, how about that? - Yeah, that's great.
Great.
How about, "Phew, it stinks"? I know a lot more, too.
Let me ask you a question.
You happy with your toaster? You happy with your toaster? Why, what's wrong? - It takes forever.
It's so slow.
- Oh, it's slow.
Oh, there's a sale.
Sur La Table.
- Sur La Table's having a sale on toasters.
- How do you know - how to say "Sur La Table"? - She spelled it, Larry.
- She spelled it.
- You're pretty good.
Yeah, there's a lot of things about me you don't know.
- Hello, sweetheart.
- I'm going to that sale.
You too? - Yeah.
Hi, Sammie.
- Hi.
Ah! Spider! Spider! - Oh my God! - Spider! Aghh! - Come on! - Larry, what is the matter with you? - Killing a live creature! - What? What is wrong with you? You're traumatizing these kids! - What are you talking about? It's a spider.
- It's a living creature, Larry.
Oh, living creature! Do you want that living creature crawling up your leg? These kids don't need to see that kind of violence.
It's a little spider.
Big deal.
- Are you okay, sweetie? - Oh my God.
Is that your dog? I thought it was, like, half rat or something.
Said it's a rat.
You know, like it looks no, it's it's a joke.
I was joking! - Joking! - You insulted her now, okay? - She can't hear you screaming.
- What did you You heard what I said.
I said you said it was half-rat.
How do you wind up with a dog like that? Mmm! - Oh, hey, Hal.
- Hey, how you doing, Larry? Good, do you know what? I-I'm glad I saw you again, because after you left, I made a little comment that maybe didn't go over so well with your wife.
I said her dog looked, you know, half-rat.
- Really? - Yeah.
- I was joking in my tone.
- Mm-hmm.
I had a joking tone, but I guess because, you know, she doesn't hear, she's not able to detect tone.
- No.
- You know, the dog.
It is kind of a ratty-looking dog.
You've gotta admit that.
- She loves that dog.
- How about you? - Do you pet that dog? - Yeah, I pet - You pet that dog? You pet that dog? - I pet that dog.
I pet that dog, yes.
Anyway, just do me a favor and tell her I was joking.
- I'm sorry.
- Well, I think you should apologize.
Well, I would, except I can't really call her.
The deaf thing again.
I know she's deaf.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Why don't you come over and just apologize face to face, so she can actually see it coming out of your mouth? You want me to come by, make a special trip? I wouldn't think she would want that.
I would think that they wanna be treated like everybody else.
- What do you mean "they"? - Well, deaf people, 'cause they're the only ones who need a special pop-in apology.
Every other kind of handicapped person you can apologize to on the phone.
Deaf people require that you go to their house.
Right.
I wouldn't think they would want that.
That's all.
I still would appreciate it if you would come by and apologize to her.
She really loves that dog.
That dog sits in your lap while you're watching TV? Yeah.
Okay, I'm more than happy to come by.
Thanks.
What did you call me? Fuck you! What? What? Cheryl was in bed.
She had a little temperature, but something about it that kind of turned me on.
She's sick.
- I understand.
- She's helpless.
You know what I mean? I like it the reverse, when I'm sick.
Yeah, I like it either way.
- I guess I just like sick sex.
- Yeah! - It's all good.
It's good, all right? - Okay.
Okay, all right.
So let me ask you this question.
- My father's been kind of depressed lately.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm thinking maybe actually getting him one of those, you know, the massages, the happy-ending kind.
- Happy ending.
I am the guy.
- Massage.
- Really, yeah? - You want some names? - Anybody.
- I got some great ones, and they give great massages.
So he thinks he's getting a massage.
He's gonna freak out, man.
I know the perfect girl.
Her name's Lisa.
- Lisa.
- Lisa, she will treat him like a king.
She's the best girl you could possibly get for this.
- Best girl for what? - What's the girl who cleans on Tuesday? - What's her name again? - Oh, Rosalina.
- Rosalina.
- She's terrific.
- You've got her number.
Give it to him.
- Yeah, all right.
- Oh, you know what.
- What? I need to ask you a question about sign language.
- I was in the men's room earlier with Hal - Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
and I was drying my hands, and I must have signed something inadvertently, because all of a sudden, he got pissed off, said, "Fuck you," - and stormed out.
- Well, what did you do? Re-enact.
I was drying my hands, you know, and then I remember scratching my finger - like this.
- Oh, wait a minute.
Larry, this means "cocksucker.
" You called him a cocksucker.
Think about it.
You called him a cocksucker? - You called him a cocksucker.
- Are you kidding? He thought you said cocksucker.
Yes, that's what this is.
You called Hal, one of the sweetest guys in the world, a cocksucker.
He said, "Fuck you," and walked out? Good for him.
- Ha! - Unbelievable.
Meanwhile, I got nobody to take to see "Grease" tomorrow.
- Oh, Cheryl's sick.
- She's sick, yeah.
- She's not even going.
- So you got nobody to go with.
Who watches "Grease" by themselves? You gotta go with somebody.
- I have nobody to take.
- I'll go.
I'll go to "Grease" with you.
That's Mike.
He's my exterminator.
How you doing? I heard you say you got an extra ticket.
I'd love to go.
Well, you know, it's a middle-school production kids doing "Grease.
" You don't wanna go see that.
I'd love it.
I'd love to go.
Well, you know, my wife could get better by tomorrow.
- I really - Okay.
- What? - Yeah, no, I understand.
I get it.
What? You get what? What are you talking about? I shouldn't have done that.
I'm sorry.
Mr.
Greene, I'm sorry about that.
I'll finish up.
No, that's crazy.
No, don't be silly.
I just overheard that you had an extra ticket, and I love "Grease," and I'd love to go, but yeah.
All right, okay.
- That's great.
- Okay, yeah, you can go.
We're gonna have a blast.
That's gonna be fun.
That's gonna be great.
Should I pick you up? Sure, pick me up.
Hey, we're gonna have fun.
We'll get fucked up.
- You know? - Yeah.
It went good yesterday.
- Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.

- Today? You're kidding.
- Yes, today.
Oh, yeah.
- You flipped him.
- I flipped his ass good, man.
- Huh? - Took the whole conversation over.
So you were interviewing him as to whether or not he was good enough for you.
Yeah, I think I got it.
I'm flipping ass right now.
I'm out of control right now.
- Don't flip me, man.
- How do you know if I haven't already? - I'm unflippable.
- How do you know? - Only women can flip me.
- I'll flip you, Larry.
Words to the wise, Larry: This toaster ain't worth a damn.
Flipping toaster.

- You still gonna give me that ride, though? - Yeah, I'm gonna take you.
- Hey, I'm sensing two jobs.
Two jobs.
- All right.
- I'm feeling that.
- And then maybe, you know, you'll think about getting your own your own place.
So you really like my suit? Man, that is banging, girl.
