Dre:
No, I got glaucoma, dude.

So I got a cause.

(all laughing)

I can't handle any more

two-minute conversations, man.

At least you only got a two-minute

conversation from Todd.

I got a 20-minute conversation

from his wife, Lauren.

Jake:
Well, at least you're talking

about something interesting.

I gotta talk about mortgages

and default loans

and all this bullshit.

I still can't believe

that he's a mortgage broker.

You'd have had

a job like this, too,

if you weren't so damn

good at something.

You know what I'm good at?

Two-minute conversations.

- I'm the king of them.

- Then tell me how to get out of them.

You just got to tell them

you gotta go to the bathroom, dude.

I've gone to the bathroom

like, 12 times today.

I'm sure Sam

really appreciates that.

She's a big girl.

- Kinda.

- Jake:
Are you saying she's a big girl?

- Cully:
She was in high school.

- ( laughing )

Oh, Sam. I don't know how

she deals with you sometimes, man.

- I love you, though.

- You know what, dude?

You just-- none of you guys

know sh*t.

You're not married.

Cully:
You know what?

Marry Jess. Then we'll talk.

Are you-- you want me to marry Jess?

Is that what you're saying?

Cully:
Yeah, marry Jess, dude.

You'll know my pain then.

Dre:
Don't do it.

Don't do this.

It's okay. All right.

Open the glove box.

Grab that envelope right there.

Hey, Cully.

Look at this.

What is it?

Dre:

Oh, sh*t.

- What?

- Jake:
Yep.

- Reeves:
Wow.

- Whoa.

- Cully:
When'd you get that?

- Bought it like, eight months ago.

You bought it eight months ago

and you never told me about it?

No, well, I'm gonna tell you.

I gotta tell her first.

But, yeah.

Yeah, I'm gonna do it.

It just hasn't quite been--

just hasn't been quite right.

You'd leave it in an envelope?

Yeah, it's better than a ring box.

And, like, so she can find it and say,

"I wonder what's in the ring box."

- Well, why haven't you given it to her?

- Boom.

( Coughs )

I tri--I mean, I've planned

a few things

and they just weren't exactly right.

Women don't care

how you ask them.

All they care is that you're stupid

enough to ask them.

All they want is the ring.

I know people, man.

That's what I do.

I don't sing,

I don't sell cars,

I don't do what you do.

That's how I eat.

- It's why you eat?

- That's how I eat.

What does that mean?

I don't think you know people

as good as you think you know people.

It's what I do, all right?

Just-- it sounds like you put a lot of

pressure on yourself, too,

to make it super perfect. I mean, you

gotta be open to spontaneity, too, man.

I mean, if you're ready to do it,

just pull the trigger, you know?

I mean, you've built

a real solid foundation.

You've got the job,

you got the nice car--

- I don't know about the car.

- Yeah, dude.

I think it's a very adult car.

- Dre:
I think it's very nice.

- Reeves:
I do, too.

I think it sucks, dude.

- Jake:
That's good.

- Dre:
Trick Daddy had a Volvo, man.

- These are nice cars.

- Cully:
I put him in this Volvo.

- Reeves:
They're very safe.

- Cully:
They're very safe.

That's a good point.

That is a good point, Reeves.

Dre:

The back seat is nice.

- Cully:
You don't drive a Volvo.

- Dre:
This is nice. My grandmother

- would be proud of it.

- If Ford owns Volvo, it's a good car.

"Consumer Reports" number one

every single year.

I'm fried, dude.

- Look who it is.

- Cully:
Oh, holy sh*t.

- I thought she wasn't coming.

- Dre:
Oh, sh*t.

Dre:

Yo, who is that she's with?

When's the last time

you spoke to her?

Like eight years ago.

Did you tell Jess about her?

Yeah, of course

I told Jess about her.

Oh, this is gonna get weird.

Yep.

How we doing here?

Did you get enough to eat?

If I wanted to be in a boy band,

I woulda been in a boy band.

I woulda started my own.

We would've been

bigger than NSync.

It looked like she waved at you.

Was she like, one of your... shorties?

You're in real estate,

I'm in real estate.

- What?

- What?

(whispering )

Fingerlings.

Fingerlingin' good.

Finger lickin' good.

Joke.

Do you mind if I sit here?

Oh, hey.

Hey.

- Hey.

- How's it going?

- Good.

- Did you see Marty yet?

- He's--

- I haven't. Is he here?

He's somewhere.

He's around somewhere.

- He was looking for you.

- Oh, wow.

J' Futures made of J'

- J' Virtual insanity... I

- Hil

Julie.

Be prepared.

Julie. Okay.

- My gosh, Mary.

- Hi.

- I am so glad you guys made it.

- Okay.

Good luck, okay?

Ow!

You got some nuts on you.

- Jess:
Hey.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Hi.

I am-- I know we took a long time

and I apologize.

- It's okay.

- It was Cully.

He had to go

to the bathroom really bad.

Baby, it's fine.

I've just been over there

talking to Sam, who is really,

really, really cool.

- Like, I love her.

- I know. Tim's--

Love her. And then this

really weird guy came up

who was like, tall, he's skinny,

he's really annoying,

with like, crazy weird hair.

- Was he touching you at all?

- No.

- You sure?

- No, he wasn't.

But he was driving me crazy.

0h, sh*t. uh..

- Hi.

- How are you?

- Hi-- I'm sorry, that was--

- Mary:
Sorry. Yeah, no. Of course.

I apologize. I went right in.

- No. Hi.

. I.. I..

Hi-- hey.

- Hi, I'm Jess. Hi.

- This is Jess.

- Hi.

- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Mary, sorry.

- Oh, okay. Of course.

- Paul.

- Paul?

- The husband.

- Uh, this is Jess.

- I'm Jess.

Are you a classmate as well?

No, no. I'm his girlfriend.

I'm just here, supporting,

having fun.

Jake, that's

a pretty cool name.

- Mary:
Yeah.

- Thank you.

- Paul:
I like that name.

- All right.

Mary:

Ah, four-letter word.

- Aren't you glad we came?

- I am glad.

I mean, I was really worried that--

but you've seen so many people...

Hi, sorry.

Is this" is this seat taken?

- No.

- No? Okay.

I'm just gonna join you guys.

- Lauren:
Hi.

- Hi.

That's for you.

What's this for?

I owe you three bucks.

- You do?

- Yeah.

Mr. Ferguson's physics class.

Junior year we went to the planetarium,

you remember?

- Oh, no.

- Oh.

I don't remember anything, really,

about junior year, though, so...

Oh, well, you let me borrow some money,

so I thought I'd pay you back.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- It's nice to see you.

- Nice to see you.

( Softly )

It's nice to see you.

Thanks.

You're actually the reason

that I switched to the tuba.

Really?

Um... I'm honored?

You shouldn't be.

I switched to the tuba because

it was too big to take home from school

so I didn't have to carry it

on the bus to and from school,

which meant that I didn't have

an instrument at the bus stop,

which meant that

you forgot that I was in band,

which meant that

you finally left me alone.

I owe you...

and you, and you,

and you,

and you...

and you an apology.

Each and every single one of you--

- Okay, okay.

- from the bottom of my heart.

Yeah, okay, okay.

You've apologized enough

for everybody, to everybody.

Does everybody

accept my apology, though?
