Brilliant.

Thank you for noticing.

Thank you for making

a beautifuI thing tonight.

Thank you so much.

The whole thing,

it's so well done, you know?

It's my pleasure.

Do you garden?

I do.

Me too.

Oh, that's nice.

I like to grow things.

Oh, do you cook?

I do.

# Do you remember #

# the very first night

of September #

# Love was

changing the minds #

# of pretenders #

# while chasing

the clouds away #

# Our hearts are ringing #

# in the key

that our souls were singing #

# as we dance

in the night #

# Remember #

# how the stars

stole the night away #

Hey, here's Webber.

Hey.

Hey.

See that jackass over there

danclng wlth my wlfe?

Yeah.

You know hlm?

Never seen him

before in my life.

Hold this.

# My thoughts

are with you #

# holding hands

with the heart #

# to see you #

Whoa, whoa,

whoa there, buddy.

Who the hell are you?

This is Tim Webber,

your "boss. "

Oh!

Whoa,

wait a minute.

Why are we fighting?

We're not fighting yet,

buddy.

Are you all right?

I'm all right.

You all right?

I'm not all right, no.

Who the hell are you?

I'm Richie.

I don't know

who you are.

Webber has no idea

who you are.

T- Bone,

I'm Rich-

I'm gonna

knock your teeth out, paI.

Let me.

Excuse me.

Can we step aside?

Step aside, please.

This man

is under my orders.

Nat Santos,

county health department.

Apologlze

for the tlmlng,

but we're in the midst

of an undercover investigation

of the premises,

which has severaI outstanding

health code violations.

Are you telling me

you send this guy here

to drink our booze

and make the moves on my wife?

I ought

to kick your ass.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

No, let's just call the cops.

Sure, call 'em.

And while you're dialing,

I'm going to go ahead

and shut this party down.

Are you in charge here?

No.

Rick, your wife did

kind of put this together, huh?

Great, why don't you

come with me.

Let's go have a look

at the kitchen.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's go.

So I'm showing

That's 10 degrees

below my standards,

most restaurant standards.

That good enough

for you?

Uh.

No, it isn't.

It's not good enough

for me either.

Throw that out, please.

You ever had

a foodborne illness?

Have you ever launched

stomach contents north?

Have you had vomit

come up at high velocity?

It's a hideous situation

in the end.

Give me diarrhea

over vomit any day.

I am not

liking the look of this.

What is going on?

Why is he on the floor?

Honey, relax, okay?

Give me a minute.

Accumulation of unidentified

organic matter,

harborage,

or conditions conducive...

to vermin.

Do you know

what this is?

Is it poop?

I'm going

to go check the buffet.

Not the buffet.

These are decent people.

Give them a break.

I've seen him shut people down

over a chafing dish.

Could I talk to you

for one second?

I'll tell you, you know,

a little cash wouldn't hurt.

The entire agency is corrupt.

Everybody knows that.

No problem.

No problem, buddy.

Yeah, thanks.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

What a nice guy

he was.

Get in.

I should've left you there.

But you didn't.

I should have.

Hl, thls Is Maggle.

Please leave a message.

It's me again.

I don't know

if he's dying.

But If he Isn't,

I'm golng to klll hlm.

You know, I was a hustler,

a petty scammer.

As far back as I can remember,

that's what I dld.

That's what we dld,

and we were good at It.

Stlll are.

I'll call you back.

Put this on.

No, no.

Please.

I'm not cold.

There's something

I need to show you.

A '63 Corvair,

best car I ever drove.

First time I got nookie

was in this car.

Well, similar.

Stand by the car.

I want a picture

of the both of yous.

Why? You got nookie in that car.

That's gross.

No, for my wallet.

Let's go.

If I can't drlve one,

I can take a plcture.

Say, "Holy moly, guacamole. "

Nlce.

Looks good, huh?

Welcome to Cactus Vlllas,

a self-contalned communlty

for the sunset years.

Now, after-

Welcome.

Hi.

Welcome.

After my 90-mlnute

sales presentatlon,

we invite

each one of you active seniors

to spend the weekend

In one of our phase one

mountaln vlew unlts.

Nice one.

Now, If you'll look at my dlagram here,

the phase one units

are on the west side of the property.

Each unlt contalns a kltchen

and elther one or two bedrooms

decorated In Its own unlque style.

This is good.

Ooh.

I taught you that.

It was Uncle Al.

Uncle Al,

Uncle Al, blah, blah.

He hated my cat,

so I kicked him out.

Did you know

that the question mark-

What question mark?

The symboI,

the question mark,

like at the end of a sentence,

it's a question.

Like in grammar?

Yeah.

It was originally

a hieroglyphic symboI

which came from the view

of the ass of a cat

as it's walking away from you.

Explain.

Well, because when a cat

walks away from you,

you feeI insecure;

you're unsure of yourself; it's doubt.

I see.

A question mark.

You mean like the thing,

the taiI-

Yeah, you look at it,

you see the taiI.

And then the-

Pfft.

Pop.

The a-hole.

The a**hole.

Well, sounds like Al.

Dubious a-hole.

What do you got

against Al?

You'll have

to ask him.

He taught you

everything else you know.

All right, left or right?

Which way, left or right?

Left.

Left or right?

Left. Left.

Here's the house.

Pull in here.

Do you know

this person?

Yes, I do.

Think back.

Dolores Jones.

She won a beauty contest.

You had the hots for her;

I sensed it.

Yeah, she was my babysitter.

Yes. She moved here.

We stayed in touch.

I thought you and I could

stop in for a visit.

You're older now.

Maybe you could,

you know-

how you say in English?

SeaI the deaI.

Why is it guys with E.D.

can't stop talking about sex?

What's wrong?

You got something

against fornication?

Hey.

Hey!

Look at you.

You're early.

I was just about

to take a dip.

There you are.

Time stands still.

Here he is.

Skinny Flynny?

Look who filled out.

He's gun shy.

Come on in.

I was just about

to make some cocktails.

Put your bags anywhere.

Not there.

Over there.

This is reaI nice.

Oh, don't be polite.

You know I never stay

in one place too long.

Isn't that right, Nat?

We got ants

in our pants.

Yes, we do.

Come on out.

Before we take off,

how about a dalqulrl?

Absolutely.

So, Flynny,

last thing I heard,

you were selllng

washers and dryers.

Oh, I know.

You're shutting down restaurants.

Yeah, didn't work out.

How about grabbing the rum

and topping off these drinks?

Sure.

And I am going to go

put some clothes on.

Oh, no argument.

Never.

Uh-oh.

Hey, sorry.

Make yourselves comfortable.

Oh, he will.

Comfortable?

That's my motto.

CooI, no?

I told you

I would set us up.

Don't hold back.

No, thou shalt not perish

by plague or by famine yet.

So shalt thou perish

by pestilence,

so why bother shaving?

You're so weird.

I'm gonna catch some rays

by the pooI.

Why don't you take her someplace

nice and buy her a cocktaiI.

Here, for later.

Oh, no.

A glow-in-the-dark condom?
