Okay, guys, listen. The next one wins, okay?
So let's stay focused. Let's stay calm.
We can do this. High fives. Let's go. Come on. Let's go.
Let's get a mind-meld. Let's try and get a mind-meld, okay?
Here we go. Let's go. Mind-meld. I heard you!
Don't over-think it. Mind meld. Ready?
I heard you! Well, just keep it simple.
Shush.
Ready? Wait. Go! Here we go! We're mind-melding.
Draw faster. It doesn't have to be beautiful,
just has to be something we can get. Shoe, shoe...
Shoe! Shoe, shoe, shoe.
Shoeless Joe Jackson. Draw something different. No one's getting it.
Shoe. What, is that a smaller shoe? Baby shoe.
Smaller shoe. Baby shoes. Shoes.
Baby shoes. Smaller shoe. Gumshoe.
Smaller shoes. Gumshoe? Gumshoe?
Running Olympics. Inside the shoe.
Inside a shoe. A bubble... Lining.
Stop pointing at the shoe. We're not... No one's guessing shoe.
Stop pointing at the shoe and draw something different.
Draw something different. You...
Goddamn it! No one's guessing shoe!
You drew a big shoe, then a small shoe, and no one got it.
You gotta draw something different. Everyone said "shoe" seven times.
It's a sock, asshole.
You call yourself an artist? Yes!
A three-year-old with a box of crayons could do a better job than this.
I'm sorry, I don't have the great talent of standing on top of a big red bus
and pointing out architecture that other great men have built!
I'm the one who should be sorry, Brooke.
I shouldn't sit here and pick on your art. No.
Because you got the nuts part down, Picasso.
All you have to do is cut off your frigging ear.
That's Van Gogh, you idiot!
And your insults are much more effective when they're accurate.
Don't talk to me about being goddamn accurate!
I can talk to you about anything that I want.
'Cause you couldn't even draw a sock.
You don't do anything right! You're a lazy...
Everyone said, "Shoe, shoe, shoe!"
At first, I figured that the split was just something temporary,
something that you two would work out and get past,
but after tonight I think it's pretty clear
that you two genuinely do not want to get back together.
There's not a shot in hell. Gary.
I'm just... I got you.
As your friend and as your realtor,
I'm not gonna leave here tonight
until we decide what to do about this condo,
because this living situation is obviously not working out.
Gary?
Well, the only logical thing that I can think of
is for her to move out of the condo,
and then to pay me some sort of a penalty as compensation for
the labor that I did all around the condo. What? What?
What? Pay you compensation for your labor?
We fixed this place up together. Are you nuts?
Stop calling me nuts, I swear to God. I fixed the...
You went around with a sponge,
and you went in the bathroom and you dotted foofy shit.
That's what you're saying that I did? There's no...
That was... That's called aesthetics.
It warmed this place up so it didn't look like
an army barracks, which it was about to.
I'll tell you what it's called in his language, depreciated.
That's what it's called. You don't even know what that means.
Unless the next buyer happens to have your same Zulu-voodoo-land taste.
All right. Let me tell you something else.
It's gonna cost money to cover up the holes in the wall.
The holes that you drilled in the wall there to hang up whatever that thing is called.
Oh, please. Gary.
You're gonna have to cost money to fix that.
What I did, Brooke, has concrete value to the condo.
I added concrete... Well, let's just go on record.
We're dealing with facts here. I did the tiling in the bathroom.
Have you seen... I did the new track lighting.
That tile is the shittiest tile job. I did the plumbing!
The plumbing! That's realty terms.
Okay. Let's talk about your plumbing. This is his plumbing.
We have two temperatures in our bathroom.
We get either scalding hot or we get frostbite.
That's it. That's all we get. It's my problem
that she doesn't know how to pace a shower?
Now all of a sudden that's my fault.
I get a minute to take a shower.
One minute? One minute of warmth?
Oh, Jesus. One minute. That's it. That's correct.
Thank God you're not in charge of keeping all the clocks in Chicago on time.
This is basic logic. You are out of your mind. You have lost it.
Let me explain this to you in plain chapter and verse.
Cheese and rice, you guys are gonna kill each other. Now, let's just...
Realistically speaking, neither one of you
can afford this mortgage on your own, okay?
And that's a shame, because this building will continue to increase in value.
I get nothing but phone calls about it, all right?
Waiting for a unit to open up.
So, as your realtor, the last thing I would suggest is selling.
But as your friend, I just, I don't see any other solution.
You take your halves, you go your separate ways,
and you get on with your lives.
I know that selling is not the easiest thing, but I do think that it's the best.
And to be honest, this is a situation
where I would just as soon not take a commission.
That's great. Thank you. That's great. Thank you for that.
I wish I didn't have to, you know,
but company policy says I cannot waive that.
But I was just... You know, I'm saying in theory, you know.
In this situation, 'cause we're friends, I wish I could waive it.
No can do, though.
As soon as you can, I would love to get a set of keys from you guys.
You just drop them off. Okay. Great. There they are.
I'll be bringing by people all week.
You won't even know I'm here. The good news is, should move quickly.
All right.
Okay to leave you two alone now?
Got to get back to Jen. Very excited about the win tonight.
Okay.
Addie, if the condo sells, I think I'm gonna lose him.
Yeah, but game night was so light and fun,
I'm really surprised to be hearing this.
Okay. You know what? That's not constructive. Really.
I just... Yeah, I need a new plan, Addie. I don't...
I'm just kidding. It's me.
I'm gonna have to call you back.
Whenever one of my friends is down, we all go on, like, happy patrol.
I was actually having a very serious conversation.
Christopher, do not sing.
If you're happy and you know it Clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it You're going to smile to...
Pack up your shit and go home.
Okay. You know what? This is not his fault.
He was just really trying to cheer me up and it...
Did I or did I not give you the day off to be sad?
Yes. But I... Well, today's not that day,
and unfortunately for you, I can't afford to look weak.
No, please.
You have warned me so many times and you have yet to fire me.
I think you and I both know that to find and train somebody new,
it's gonna cost you time, and it's gonna cost you money,
and I don't think you want to spend either one of those.
Now, look, I'm just gonna take a wild guess here,
but you don't become Marilyn Dean
without knowing how to handle men.
Okay? Now, just listen to my problem,
tell me how to fix it, and then we'll all go back to work.
Okay. What is this problem so severe
that has caused you to blaspheme in the synagogue of Marilyn Dean?
Well, it's Gary. I broke up with him
in hopes that losing me would make him want to change,
and that's, you know...
And I've just ended up pushing him, you know, farther and farther away.
That's it? Yeah.
Honey, this is not surrealism or cubism, it's paint-by-numbers.
Go see Mischa, my personal waxer at the spa.
Ask her for the Telly Savalas.
The Telly Savalas.
Compliments of M. Dean.
Then go show Gary your immaculate canvas
and let him see another man eager to paint it. Got it?
Got it? Uh-huh.
Ow!
Who loves you, baby?
Wow, impressive. Three sharp hands landed.
What an amazing display of punching technique.
The crowd jumps. That punch rocked him.
They sense he's on the verge of hitting the canvas.
The roaring for anticipation of a knockout.
We are witnessing a great fight.
He's displaying incredible rhythm with his hands.
Bulldog terrorizing his opponent. Down he goes!
Hard punch slams him to the canvas.
One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten. It's over.
Is... Did... Is Brooke here?
I don't know.
Brooke? I'll be right there.
Cool, baby, cool.
So, how do you and Brooke know each other?
Well, how don't we know each other, you know what I mean?
Hi, Paul. Oh, hey. Wow, you look great.
Thank you.
Are you ready to go? Yeah. All set.
So, it was great meeting you. Apple martinis.
All right, come on. That normally does the trick.
Just ignore him. But just two. Three, she'll get sloppy.
You'll become a babysitter.
Oh, and fantasy role playing. She's got a real thing for lifeguards.
Put some zinc oxide on your nose and she'll lose her mind.
It'll all be over with.
Y'all want me to stop running?
I mean, the most challenging part of what I do
is between February and April 15th.
That's what we in the biz like to call crunch time.
That sounds fascinating.
Good evening. Hi.
Can I start you two off with something to drink?
Yeah, you know, we're gonna start with a couple of apple martinis, please.
No, you know what? I'm gonna... I'm just gonna start with a water.
Well, you can just bring those, just in case. What was I saying?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, you know, it's not like it's all work and no play.
You know, I mean, after April 15th, that's what we in the biz
like to call party time.
Excuse me.
Oh, I have to get this. I'm so sorry.
Hello.
Okay, is this when I'm supposed to call? What?
What do you mean? What? Where? What happened?
Okay, that's great. Wait. What? Oh, all right.
Listen, where... Just don't move. Where are you?
I'm sitting in my kitchen. Sitting? Okay.
Don't move.
Don't... I'm gonna be right there, honey. I'm gonna be right there, okay?
Is everything okay? Oh, my gosh.
That was my best friend.
She just had an accident and she... She has this knee thing
and she's just very fragile, and I have to go. What?
I can give you a ride. No. No. That's okay.
I'm gonna grab a cab, so... I'm so sorry.
I like your dress.
I think he's fascinating. He's obviously read a lot of books.
Yeah. Yeah, I bet he has.
He reads a lot of books because nobody wants to talk to him.
He's a friend of Andrew's who's always been polite.
It's the best I could do on such short notice, okay?
Well, you know what? Polite is not gonna do it.
We've got to find somebody who is really gonna make Gary jealous.
Can I just say something?
You sound a little jealous, Gary.
Why would I be jealous of some guy with computer skills?
Let's say he doesn't have computer skills, but he's got a big old elephant hog on him?
Would that bother you or would you be okay with that?
Not nearly as much as the way that your mind works.
My mind works great.
So, what's this bullshit I hear about you selling the condo?
Selling that condo is ludicrous.
I was waiting for when I was gonna get
the how-Gary-always- screws-his-life-up speech again.
This must be the right time. Look, you tell me,
you just tell me, tell me. Is it happening now? Yeah. Okay.
Tell me how losing that asset
is gonna get us on the river?
Go ahead, just tell me. Tell me. Somebody tell me. What is this?
What is this? What is it? What is it? Hey! Don't patronize me.
Helicopters. Helicopters. Exactly!
How does losing the asset give us helicopters?
Dennis, I'm being totally serious with you. I don't need this shit right now.
Hey, you want to cry, cry to Mom.
Nobody's crying. I'm not crying.
I just don't feel like hearing it. There's no feelings here.
This is about money and business. Fine, you broke up.
You broke up. Fine.
You know, sad.
Sad is, instead of putting $1,000 into your mortgage every month,
you waste it on rent. That's what sad is.
Oh, you're broke up. You're confused, brokenhearted.
Heartbreak is not having that money
as part of your net worth and then not saving the money,
so that after taxes you can invest!
You know, you're confused.
Are you finished? Look, I need the damn tour logs.
Yeah.
Well, I really, really appreciate the heart to heart.
It was a great talk, Dennis. Thank you.
Oh, well, you're behind three months. You're still behind three months.
And those logs are imperative to insuring that our books are straight!
I'll tell you what those logs are. Those logs are bullshit is what they are!
You got the receipts. Tally the goddamn things yourself!
I do, I do!
And I don't appreciate it, because it cuts into my time with my family.
I could be spending that time with my family instead of doing your books.
I already do the taxes. I do the billing.
I do the hiring, the firing. I do the maintenance.
Come on, what do you do? What is it that you do?
You do the tours! I am the talent, Dennis!
They sign up a month in advance to see me.
They'll wait in line for the next bus to see me! All right?
So don't drain me with all this bullshit about the goddamn tour logs!
How big's your TV? Oh, shut up!
How big's your TV, 'cause I wanna know if you can see what's happening.
Oh, wow. You beat a 12-year-old.
I don't care if you're 12 years old. You have more time in the day to play.
I live in the real world, my man,
with bills and responsibilities.
That's right.
You can't have a handle called Mad Dog Killer if you complain every time...
Brooke? Hi, Mike.
Hi. Come on in.
Hold on, Mom. I'm coming.
Is your mom in the room with you?
'Cause I hope she can't see what's happening.
I hope she can't see what's happening.
I'm gonna be just a few more seconds. So, just sit down and relax.
Oh, yeah, no problem.
I'm sorry? Yeah, why'd you do that?
You take the fun out of beating you, because you have an excuse to lose.
Get a life, dude.
Do you think it's possible that your mom won't love you anymore
if she sees how bad you're losing in the game.
Shut up!
Okay.
All right.
That's great. You're gonna stay man-to-man with me.
What happens when I make a play?
Making plays, making plays! Making plays!
Well, you know, that's how my people like to handle their business.
While your guys are out partying, mine are running routes.
Try to make a difference.
Mike? I'm ready to go.
Oh, hey,
do you mind if we finish the game? We got a real nail-biter going here.
Yeah, sure. Of course. Great.
Awesome, all right?
Touchdown. Oh, God, is that pretty.
God, is that pretty. Yeah, I'm a gentleman.
I like to be humble. I'm old school. I don't like to talk a lot.
But at the same time, am I talented?
Tell me how you felt about what just happened there.
That's him going deep. That's him going...
Work ethic. Work ethic.
I could play this game forever.
Oh, I could, too. I love it, yeah. I love it, don't you?
I mean, it's the kind of thing where literally
I play the game and it's like, four hours go by.
Fate has me highly skilled and loaded with talent.
Oh...
'Cause I think I'm good enough to figure out how to beat myself.
You push yourself.
You push yourself trying to achieve the impossible,
because you know that when that moment comes
that everything you've done up to that moment has prepared you for victory!
I can't take credit for it, Mike.
I got to thank these little digital guys with the big hearts.
Does it feel good to be a champion? Yeah.
Yeah, it feels good to be a champion. Good game.
Hey, Brooke, are you ready to go now?
Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure. Great.
Hey, Gary, thanks a lot, man. It was great to meet you.
Absolutely, man.
Come on, Mike. I know a great little martini bar.
Yo.
Hey, man, saddle up. It's time to rope in some talent.
What's up? What do you got?
My place. Tonight. Poker. Call some girls up.
Your roommate is awesome.
Mmm.
Yeah, he's something.
So, where did you go to law school? Oh, Northwestern.
God, Gary's hilarious.
Yeah, he's okay.
Okay? I mean, the guy's all time.
But he's gonna take Chicago tourism by air, land and sea.
And he asked me to join his new bowling team.
I mean, how cool is that?
Mmm-hmm.
You know what? I can't do this. I'm so sorry.
Excuse me, would you please pull over? Can you pull over, please?
Hey, wait.
Tell Gary to call me.
Welcome, everyone,
to the first annual Texas Hold 'em No-Limit Strip Poker Tournament.
Now, per the e-mail that Lupus sent, we each have eight articles of clothing.
Now, if you want to bet, you take off an article of clothing,
you put it in the center.
If you win, you take back the clothes, you put back on what you bet.
The extras that other people bet will stay in front of you,
much the same as chips would.
You can go all in at any point,
but as I outlined, you must take off all your clothes to do so.
The game shall last an hour, maybe two,
at which point we will begin the dance portion of the evening.
Let's get going here.
I need to see the blinds. Small blind. Big blind.
The blinds are one and one.
Come on, ladies. All right.
Oh, yeah. Let's get going here.
Shuffle up and deal. All right.
I mean, just because they were playing video games,
that doesn't mean it didn't bother him, right?
Honestly, Brooke, I wish I could tell you, but I wasn't there.
All right, Sally, get the soap out of your mouth.
We're gonna save that for when you're 12.
Mike was really, really good-looking.
I mean, he's a little bit of a goof, but Gary doesn't know that.
I mean, for all he knows, a sophisticated,
really good-looking guy took me out on a date tonight.
I could be in bed with this guy right now for all he knows.
You know?
I'm telling you, if you saw the look on his face,
Mike got to him.
Hello.
Hey, it's Riggleman. Great news.
So, how does this work?
I'll bring the car around front and you wrap them up to go?
Oh, no, no. We take care of everything.
We deliver it. We hang it. We check the light and the sun exposure.
Oh. Perfect. Yeah.
Listen, I don't want to be too forward,
but would you like to have some dinner with me sometime?
I'm sorry. I have a boyfriend.
Of course. So...
Well, he's a lucky man. Oh, thank you.
I guess I will just have to keep it to home deliveries and gallery purchases.
Thank you, though. See you.
Have a good day, Brooke. You, too.
Okay, are you out of your mind?
Gary's throwing Greek orgies in your living room
and you're telling hot rich guys you have a boyfriend?
Are you nuts? Hey, look. I'm not exactly innocent here.
Brooke, as an outsider with some perspective, I really think you...
Christopher, stop. Stop it. I don't want to hear it.
This has already gotten way out of hand.
I know what I have to do now, all right? I know what I have to do.
Hi.
Did you get my note? Yeah.
Two weeks.
Yep.
I brought some boxes from work,
so, you know, if you need any just help yourself.
Great. Thanks.
Oh.
Listen, a while ago I got these tickets
for the Old 97's tonight, and I completely forgot about it, so I...
You know, if you want to go.
Well, how many tickets did you get?
I got two.
How much do you want for them?
Oh, no, I'm going. I'm going.
So, then it would just be the two of us?
Well, yes, and 2,000 other people.
I mean, it's not a big deal,
but, you know, look, you know, I was going to invite Addie,
but I just figured I'd gotten them for you, so...
Sure. Why not?
Are you sure? I mean, if you don't want them,
I can definitely give them to somebody. No. No, I'll be there.
That sounds... It sounds great.
Okay. All right. It's at the Riv.
So, I'll just leave your ticket at Will Call.
Good? Okay.
Yeah, so, there. I'll just leave that for him. Okay, great.
Okay, so. Gary Grobowski?
Grobowski, yeah. He should be here in a minute.
He's really... He's oddly tall, so. Oh, okay. Great.
You won't miss him. Thanks. All right, have a good night.
Hi. Can I get a beer, please? Sure.
Actually, make that two beers.
It's gonna be $8.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Hello, everybody!
Good evening, Chicago. We're the Old 97's.
Brooke?
Are you up? Yeah.
Are you okay? I'm fine.
Are you sure? What's up? What do you want?
I just want to say I'm sorry that I missed the concert,
and let me know what that ticket cost, I'll pay you back for it.
Just leave me alone, Gary.
I planned on going to the concert.
It's just, I stopped by Johnny O's and we...
It doesn't fucking matter, okay?
Would you just leave my room and shut the door?
Jesus. Please.
I didn't really know that the concert mattered all that much to you.
Exactly.
Hold on a second here. Let me talk for a second.
Gary...
Brooke. You broke up with me.
Then you have guys coming over here for dates,
and all of a sudden you ask me to go to some concert.
I mean, I just figured that, you know.
Gary.
I just... I don't know how we got here.
Our entire relationship
I've gone above and beyond for you, for us.
And I mean, I've cooked.
I've picked your shit up off the floor.
I've laid your clothes out for you like you were a four-year-old.
I support you. I supported you, your work.
If we ever had dinner or anything, I make the plans.
I take care of everything and I just don't feel like you appreciate any of it.
I don't feel you appreciate me.
And all I want is to... Is for you to just show me that you care.
Why didn't you just say that to me?
Gary, I've tried. I've tried.
Yeah, but never like that.
You might've said some things that you meant to imply that, Brooke,
but I'm not a mind reader.
I doubt it would matter. You are who you are.
Just leave me alone, okay?
Right now. Just shut my door.
Listen.
All right, Gary, just, please. Just leave the room.
Listen to me. Gary, just...
I don't want to be near you right now. Listen to me. I just want to...
Please, just shut the door. Please.
I know. Look, I know you feel bad, but, you know, what are you gonna do?
I mean, what does she expect, for me to want to go with the girl who dumped me?
I don't know. She probably just wanted you, you know, to show her the respect
of not standing her up or some shit, who knows?
Well, damn it. I should have just said no in the first place.
I don't know why I called...
You know what? It's her fault she got hurt.
You shouldn't even feel bad about it. She should have expected it from you.
You're a fun guy, okay? Everybody likes you.
You're the quickest guy I know. Anytime we go out, I have a blast.
All right? But, you know,
everybody who knows you knows you're gonna do what you want to do.
And if it's not what the other person wants to do, well, that's their problem.
That's bullshit. It's not bullshit.
There's plenty of times I do shit that I don't want to do.
That's ridiculous. No. Like when?
That's bullshit to say about me.
When have we ever done something you didn't want to do?
You know, I don't know, off the top of my head. I don't keep score...
When's the last time we went to a Sox game?
The Sox.
Not when they're playing the Cubs, either.
We always do what you want to do and she always did what you want to do.
It's who you are.
Everybody thinks that you're their friend, okay?
But the fact of the matter is that there's not one person
that I know that you trust enough to let close enough
that they could hurt you.
And her big problem is that you really liked her.
I mean, she is the one girl you really liked.
And no matter what she did and how hard she tried,
you were never gonna let your guard down.
That poor girl never stood a chance.
Marilyn?
Yeah.
I'm sorry. I just...
Oh, just get in here.
Oh, okay. I'm sorry, excuse me.
Marilyn, I just...
I just wanted to let you know that today is gonna be my last day.
I'm gonna be traveling for a bit.
Here's a blank check.
Write down a number, I don't want to know what it is, and go back to work.
No, no. It's not about that.
I can't accept that.
Brooke.
Travis, get your gorgeous tuckus out of here.
If you make it to Rome,
search out an establishment called the Padre Negro.
Ask for a strapping young fellow named Alberto.
Compliments of M. Dean.
Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
Yeah. And, honey,
take as long as you want, because when you're done,
your job will be right here waiting for you.
And if you discover a path that doesn't lead back here...
Well, I hope you'll text.
I will.
And, like I said, the apartment's a mess, but I'm moving, so...
It's okay. Relax about the place. I don't care.
Okay. This'll just take a second. Okay.
Hello? Hey. I'm in here.
Don't say anything. I...
How're you doing?
Could I talk to you in private for a second?
You know what? This is really not a good time,
and obviously you have something happening here,
so we'll just be in... No, no, I don't have anything going on.
This is actually for you.
I'm just gonna wait outside. No, no. Wait.
No, no. Really. It's okay.
I really can't do this right now.
Brooke, this whole thing has been really tough on me
and I've tried to act like it hasn't been that tough on me,
but the first Sunday after me and you broke up,
it all kind of really hit me.
And I think it partially hit me
because Sunday was sort of always our day that we would do stuff together.
But I didn't have any idea you still cared so much.
And, you know, when I saw you crying the other night,
that was honestly the worst moment of my life.
Gary.
Let me just try to say some of these things here. It's just...
Look,
I know that I've caused you a lot of pain.
And the funny thing is, all I really want to do is make you happy.
I just want to make you smile.
Now, I've had a lot of time to think about some of the things
that went on, and I know, Brooke, that I don't always do the right thing
or always say the right things,
but I am willing to try to do things differently.
And I'd be happy to go take a dance class.
Well, I would. Honestly. I would like to go do that. Or go travel.
I mean, I'd even be willing to go to the ballet.
Although I would much rather do the dance class or take a trip somewhere.
But I realize that's not the point.
I realize that the point isn't that at all,
because it's not really about doing things that you love to do always,
but it is about doing things with the person that you love.
And I love you.
Gary. Just give me one second here.
I've missed you so much.
I promise you, Brooke,
I will do whatever it is that I have to do to never hurt you again.
I love you and I'm sorry.
Okay, that's it. That's all I...
Oh, God. That's all I wanted to say,
so you can go ahead now with anything that you're feeling to say.
I don't know what to say.
Just say whatever you feel inside.
I don't feel the same way.
I don't. I just... I don't know.
Oh, God.
I just, I think... I don't know,
but I don't think I have
anything left to give.
I'm sorry.
I was hoping for...
It doesn't matter.
Oh, this is now beyond awkward.
There's some new guy standing out in the hallway
and I think I'm gonna go.
Okay.
Thank you.
I made a dinner, and I don't know if it's any good or not,
but you're welcome to have it.
Okay.
Gary, that's really... That's not what you think that it is.
It's okay.
I'm gonna go take a walk.
I'm sorry about that. No.
I'm sorry I imposed. No, that's fine. Please.
So, what do you think? I think you're right.
I think it's great. Good.
Okay. Okay.
So,
I will have that wrapped up.
Packed up, sorry, and delivered.
Thank you for taking the time to show it to me, okay?
Sure.
Yeah. I'm gonna run. Okay, I'll walk you out.
No, no, no. I can... It's okay.
So, the thing that I was most afraid of happening happened
and I don't regret it at all, because now she knows how I feel.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
I think, what you got to do now is really think hard,
because you have to find somebody
that can't be traced back to either of us
to visit this guy.
What are you talking about? I don't...
The guy who came with her.
I don't need anything to happen to the guy.
But if they could trace him back to either one of us...
It's not about him. I don't care about that. ...it's a problem.
The guy, he's not a... They're not dumb. Cops are smart, trust me.
Okay, but he's not a problem to me. Right.
Listen to me.
Promise me that you're not gonna do anything.
I got you.
It's better if nobody... You don't know anything.
What are you talking about? I'll take care of it.
I don't want you to take care of anything. John, do me a favor.
I'm being serious with you. I know, I know. Smart. You're smart.
No, I'm not. I'm being honest with you.
I don't want anything to happen to him. Me, either.
Promise me you're not gonna have anyone do anything to this guy.
But you've gotta tell me exactly what you're gonna tell them,
if the cops come to you. Because if we tell a different story...
Nothing. Promise me one thing. We don't care...
John, I'm gonna go home. I can't do this. I'm exhausted.
Right, go home. Just make sure your neighbors know you're going home.
Do me a favor. They got phone records. Make a couple phone calls tonight.
Especially around 10:00.
Okay. Please don't do anything. All right.
I don't mean it like... I mean, honestly.
No, no, I got it.
For all you know, nothing's happening.
I don't want anything to happen. Right.
Say it louder.
What are you doing here so early?
Hey.
Everything okay with you and... Yeah, everything's gonna be great.
I just wanna get my day started, but I just wanted to say that
I'm sorry it took so long for me to...
I love you, Dennis.
It's all right. It's okay.
I'm sorry. I'm gonna go do the stuff.
So, that's it for all my stuff.
If you want, you could give me your key and I'll drop it off at Riggleman's.
All right.
Thanks.
Gary.
You know, there's a thousand things I...
I would have done differently.
Me, too.
Sort of, actually, when I see this space, I realize that if we didn't have
such a big coffee table and that oversized couch
a pool table would have fit nicely.
Yeah.
Although the oversized couch did come in very useful the last couple of weeks, so...
Yes, it... I guess.
Have a good trip.
Thanks.
Chicago is called the Second City
because after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871,
Chicago was rebuilt on its ruins.
The city came back even bigger and stronger than it originally was.
So it's not really an insult, it's more of a badge of honor to be called...
The Second City!
Okay. People, you might be able to get away
with that reaction at work, but you are on vacation here.
If you can't blow it out here, then where the hell can you blow it out?
Ladies and gentlemen, show me that you mean it.
Do not make me ask you twice.
Are you ready to see Chicago? Yes!
I said, are you ready to see Chicago? Yes!
Are you ready to see Chicago? Shondra, put this babe in the air.
Let's go!
There is a bar downstairs. Please enjoy yourself.
I know it's early in the morning, but it is Chicago in the summer.
Who are we kidding? It's fine.
Go get hopped up, make some bad decisions.
My jokes get better. The buildings look bigger.
It's not so important that everything is finished.
It's important that everything is right.
Well, what time's the presentation?
All right, I'll pick up the rest of the stuff and I'll see you at 6:45.
Great. Bye.
Brooke!
Hi. Hi.
Wow.
It's good to see you. It's good to see you.
I'd give you a hug, but my hands are kind of full with all the bags here.
How've you been? I've been really good.
How have you been? I've been good.
Yeah.
You look great. Thank you.
The hair's a little different. Looks nice. Yeah? Oh, yeah.
You've lost some weight. Well, it's very deceiving, actually.
I've managed to become thin without having any real muscle on me whatsoever.
Very tough thing to accomplish, by the way. I'm proud of myself.
Well, you look terrific. Thanks.
I heard your trip went really well. It did. It went really well.
Oh, good. It was fun. It was amazing.
I saw so many amazing places. It was just...
But, you know, you do realize how much you love home.
It's good to have you back. Yeah. It's good to be back.
And the boat. Congratulations on the boat. Thanks.
I'm waiting for it to get warm, and I'm gonna come by and take a ride.
Well, anytime you want. It'll be on the house. Come on by.
Well, I will, then.
I hope you do.
Definitely.
Well, I got to... I'm going to a meeting, so...
I got to drop these bags off anyway, but it's really good to see you, Brooke.
Really good to see you. Shouldn't...
Sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm just saying we shouldn't wait so long the next time before we...
Yeah. ...catch up.
We have a lot more to talk about. Yeah.
So.
Be good. Okay.
Bye. Bye.
