What do you want?
Well, I was wondering if I could get some more work- something, uh...
- you know, steady, full-time. - Ah, cell phone.
All I got is weekends.
Yeah, well, that works.
Isn't that when you sit on other dudes' faces?
- So, what do you got? - Deli counter.
Dealing with the customers and stuff? - Yeah.
A parade of hot, horny housewives...
begging for your meat.
- You got anything else? - No, I do not.
You interested?
Yeah. Sure.
- Hey! - Hey.
Goddamn. I almost didn't recognize you.
You look-You look clean.
Clean?
No, I mean you look lovely.
Okay. Thanks.
Uh, listen. Should I call you, uh, Pam or Cassidy or what?

Don't get used to it.
What is she?
Goth? Punk? Hippie?
- Preppy? - Oh, man, I ain't got a clue.
Oh. Hey, Pam.
- Pam. - Yeah. Mm-hmm?
Thank you. I really appreciate this.
You're welcome.
Uh, listen.
I think Stephanie is, uh...
a lesbian.
Uh-huh?
Does that make a difference what she-
No.
- It's cool. - I mean, or maybe it's all in my head. I don't know.
Oh, wow. What about this?
Look at this. Got an "S" on it.
- Um- - That looks perfect, huh?
Well-
I mean, it's winter, so maybe you want something warmer, like a peacoat.
You got a point there.
- If you know her size. - Yeah, that's pretty cool.
I don't know, man. I think that's pretty rock and roll.
- What do you think? - l-
You should go with your gut, man.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
You know, you look so goddamn pretty in the daytime.
Hey, have a beer with me?
Uh, I gotta get going.
- One beer. - I really-
I got a- I got a kid.
You have a kid?
Well.
- What do you have, a boy or girl? - Boy. Jameson.
- So, how old? - Nine.
Wow. Hmm. Who would figure, huh?
Well, it's not something I usually tell the customers.
It's not exactly- It's not a turn-on.
Uh, hold on. Wait a second.
I want you to give this to your little guy. It's a-
It's a Randy the Ram action figure.
Tell him not to lose it. It's a $300 collector's item.
- Really? - No.
Come on. Hey, one beer.
Okay.
That's a great-looking kid you got there.
I think so.
Well, I can see where he got his good looks from.
Yeah. Well, he doesn't get it from his father.
What's that?
Oh, that's this condo thing down in Trenton.
What are you thinking about, moving there?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, the schools are really awesome...

No. I, uh, brought you a present.
Go ahead. Open it.
The "S" stands for "Stephanie."
- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.
Do you like it?
It's, uh- It's shiny.
That's not really your present. I got you something else.
Hold on.
This is your real present.
- It's a peacoat. - Yeah. Well, it's wintertime...
and I want you to keep warm.
- Thank you. - Hey, anything for you, sweetheart.
So what are you doing right now?
What am I doing?
You know, I thought maybe we could, you know, stop by our old favorite place.
We have an old favorite place?
You'll recognize it when you see it.
Uh, now's not really the best time. l-
I got some stuff I gotta do.
What kind of stuff?
Just stuff.
Come on. I'm not gonna, like-
I'm not gonna take a bite out of you or anything.
Just, you know, hang out for a little while.
I haven't been here in ages.
You remember the fun house?
Right there. Used to be the Monster Motel.
- Kinda. - Oh, you loved it.
We used to go in there, and they had this, uh, spooky-ass skeleton.
It would pop out of a coffin.
You'd get really scared and cry and wanna run out.
And then- then you'd beg to go back in again.
Oh. Always was a glutton for punishment.
Yeah, you wouldn't go in unless you could sit on my foot...
and wrap your arms around my leg.
And we'd walk all the way through like that.
Ah, I don't even remember that.
I do.
I just want to tell you.
I'm the one...
who was supposed to take care of everything.
I'm the one who was supposed to make everything okay for everybody.
But it just didn't work out like that.
And I left.
I left you.
You never did anything wrong.
You know? I used to try to-
Huh! Forget about you.
I used to try to pretend that...
you didn't exist.
But I can't.
You're my girl.
You're my little-- You're my little girl.
And now-
I'm an old, broken-down piece of meat.
And I'm alone.
And I deserve to be all alone.
I just don't want you to hate me.
Okay?
Hey.
Oh.
Oh, man, we can't go in there.
Come on.
Oh, God.
- Whoo, man. Wow. - This must have been a ballroom or something.
Oh, look at this. We can-
Hey, here we go.
- What is that? - It's my bow to you.
Am I supposed to bow back? I bow to you?
Ah.
One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three.
You can lead. You're not bad.
Well, thank you.
Hold on.
Wait. Let me get the door.
Well, I hope that wasn't too painful for you.
- No, it was okay. - Yeah, well-
Okay, uh, bye.
Bye.
Hey, maybe we could go out to dinner sometime.
- Dinner? - You know, on Friday or something?
Whatever works for you.
Saturday would be better.
- Saturday? - Yeah.
You got it.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Hey, you there. Hey.
Come on. Open it.
I'll wait till later when it's quiet.
Oh, come on. I want to watch your face when you read it.
Thank you. That's very sweet.
Hey, thank you. I mean, come on, baby. You saved my ass.
What?
I can't... do this.
Can't do what?
This.
I thought we had a little something going on here.
No. W-Well- l- I think you're awesome. I think that you're a great guy.
So what's the problem?
You think that I'm, like, this stripper, and I'm not.
I'm a mom.
I have responsibilities. I have a son.
Anyway, you don't want that fuckin'luggage, so-
What if I do?
I can't go there.
- What about the other day? - It was a mistake.
It didn't feel like a mistake to me.
The club and the real world- they don't mix.
I don't know. I'll tell you, I think that's a lot of bullshit...
because I think you still feel something.
You're a customer, okay? You're a fucking customer. I don't go out with customers.
You got it?
Yeah, I got it.
Hey, can I have some tequila over here, please?
Sure.
I tell you what. Here.
- What's that? - I want a dance.
Stop it.
What's the matter? You gonna refuse a paying customer?
- I want a goddamn dance, sweetheart. - Fuck you!
- Get up there and move your ass. Squeeze your titties together. - Fuck off!
- Shake your fucking ass- - Fuck you!
Ram! And pretend you like me!
- Gimme a goddamn dance! - Get the fuck outta here!

No, I'm okay.
Oh, God.

Mmm.
My brother used to have your poster on his door.
Well, your brother's got good taste.
Yeah, it was a pretty hot picture.
So, what are you doing in our town of Rahway?
We did a show over at the rec center tonight.
Wrestling. Wow. So you still wrestle?
- Still jumping off the top rope. - Oh, wow.
That's hot.
So, uh, do you want to party?
Party? What do you call party?

Hey, uh, is Stephanie home?
Steph, guess who finally decided to show up.
Yeah, he's standing outside.
No, I don't want to do that.
I've seen you get stressed out. I don't want you to be stressed. Let me get this asshole out.
- Just don't, don't say anything. - Hey.
- Who said you could come in? - What are you doing in here?
- I'm sorry, Stephanie. I'm so sorry. - No, get the fuck out!
- I'm gonna handle this, okay? I can handle this. - Obviously not.
- I can handle this! - Oh, come on. I'm sorry I screwed this up.
- I'm so sorry. - Wait. Don't worry.
- I just-- You don't have to leave. - I'll be back.
Fuck.
I waited in that restaurant for two hours- Two fucking hours-
telling myself, " Maybe something happened. Maybe he's stuck in traffic."
But, no! You just keep doing the same shit to me over and over again!
I know, and I apologize. Look, I apologize.
I got a lot of stuff swimming around in my head...
and I went out and had a drink, and another drink, and I just spaced.
- That is tough shit! - Goddamn it. Why do I do this to you?
Because you are a fuck-up!
You're a living, breathing fuck-up...
and I cannot fucking do it anymore!
I can't stand it! I can't fucking cry for you! I can't fucking do it anymore!
I can't fucking-

I know you hate me.
- Calm down. - You know what? I don't care.
I don't hate you. I don't love you.
I don't even like you.
- And I was stupid to think that you could change. - I can- I can change.
- I don't care. - Come on.
There is no more fixing this.
It's broke. Permanently.
And I'm okay with that. It's better.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I don't ever want to see you again.
Look at me.
I don't want to see you.
I don't want to hear you.

I just want to say...
to you all tonight...
I'm very grateful to be here.
A lot of people told me that I'd never wrestle again.
And that's all I do.
You know, if you live hard, and you play hard...
- and you burn the candle at both ends- - Love you, Ram!
you pay the price for it.
You know, in this life you can lose everything that you love...
and everything that loves you.
Now I don't hear as good as I used to...
and I forget stuff...
and I ain't as pretty as I used to be.
But goddamn it, I'm still standing here, and I'm the Ram.
You know, as time goes by-
as time goes by, they say, "He's washed up.
"He's finished. He's a loser.
He's all through."
- But you know what? - Twenty more years!
The only ones who are gonna tell me when I'm through doing my thing...
is you people here.
You people here- You people here are the ones...
who are worth bringing it for, because you're my family.
I love all of you. Thank you so much!
Great talk, Randy.
Thank you.
Yeah!
Pick it up, baby.
Take it easy! Ah!
- What are you doing? This is my move! - Giving up?
Steal my move, Randy? This is how you do it!
One, two, th- Hey! Who you pushing?
