Ohh.

Help me out.

Come on, Mel,

let's take another shot.

Oh, oh.

Hey.

How's it going, man?

- Good.

- Good, good.

- How are you?

- Great, great.

- Young Daniel.

- How are you, sir?

- Good, man. How you doing?

- Good, good.

Whoo!

Whoops!

Is it all gone?

You are drunk.

I got a full cup now.

Mnh. Can you give me

a ride home?

I didn't drive here.

I'm going to Dan's now.

That's okay, you can just

drop me off on the way.

No, you're not

on the way to Dan's.

You're on the way

to my place.

Yes, I am.

Please.

I mean, it would be

so much easier

if I just lived with Dan.

Okay, well, f*** you.

You're giving me a ride home

because there's no one

else at this party.

So serious.

Will you listen to me!

I'm trying to have

a serious conversation.

You never listen to me.

- Oh, really?

- I'm gonna marry Dan

and have his babies

by the time I'm 26.

Oh, yeah? Well, does Dan

know about this marriage?

Do you know - Do you know

how long we've been together?

- How long?

- Are you ready?

Boom.

Six f***in' years.

Sh*t!

I know!

Mnh. Mnh.

Oh, God.

Oh!

Oh, I missed you.

Mm-hmm.

Are you trying to take

advantage of me?

Yeah.

Okay.

Shut up and kiss me.

Mmm.

- Drunk, drunk.

- Shut - I'm not drunk.

How much did you drink?

I didn't drink anything.

That's a bold-faced lie.

"Bold-faced"?

Bold.

Tell me about your night.

Well, mmm...

You left me, so I

hung out with Jessica

and she was making out

with this guy.

That's very nice.

Yeah, and then...

The party was sh*t.

Everyone left.

It was dying.

It was boring, so Jess

asked for a ride home,

- I gave her a ride home -

- You drove?

And then, I came

to see you.

You drove here?

Yeah, it's fine.

What the f***, Mel?

Don't do that sh*t.

Shh! It's okay.

It's so stupid.

It's not okay.

I wasn't - I'm not even

that drunk, Dan.

- You're really drunk.

- I'm not really drunk.

Just promise me,

next time,

you will call me

if you're f***ing drunk.

- Call you?

- And you're not gonna be

an idiot and drive all

across town to drop Jessica off

- and then come back over here.

- I wasn't the only one

who was drinking.

You were drinking.

Stop. Can you keep your

voice down, please?

My roommates

are trying to sleep.

What, I'm gonna call you

and wake you up?

No, you're sleeping.

I'm perfectly capable -

It doesn't matter. Just don't

do it. Don't be a f***ing idiot.

What?!

Don't do it.

Just don't.

What?

F*** you, man.

- Where are you going?

- I'm going home,

'cause, apparently,

I'm not welcome here.

How are you getting home?

Stop. You're not driving.

- Don't touch me!

You're not gonna f***ing

drunk-drive right now, Mel.

Get off me!

F***.

Ow!

- What the f***, Mel?

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Don't f***ing touch me.

Oh! F***.

It hurts. Ow!

Hey.

F***!

I'm sorry, Dan.

I'm sorry.

Great, you're dressed.

Hi, I'm Dan.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Mel.

Melanie.

Okay, all the hard work

has been done.

It should heal

on its own.

You don't even

have to see a doctor.

All right.

Okay, great.

So how did this happen?

Um...

I tripped.

I just tripped and hit

my head on my dresser.

Okay.

Okay, guys, that's pretty

much all I need to know.

- Okay. Thank you.

- All right. Thanks.

My shoes.

Hey.

How you doing?

Yo, yo.

I pulled those records

you wanted.

Cool.

Thank you.

The shipping labels should

be printing right now,

and if you could just

get those all squared away

and send them

to that list

of journalists

I sent you.

Cool.

You got it.

Cool hat.

Thank you.

Hey, wait.

You want a coffee?

- Coffee.

- I need one really bad.

I feel that.

Perfect.

So what's the deal

with your hat, anyway?

It's 100 outside.

- Ow.

- Holy sh*t!

What happened?

I hit my head on

my dresser last night.

Were you drunk,

or something?

No.

No, no,

but my girlfriend was.

What?

We got into this fight

'cause she was drunk -

very, very, very drunk -

and wanted to drive home.

So I was fighting her

for her keys and hit my head.

And she pushed you?

It wasn't that big

of a deal, really.

Uh-huh.

I don't know, that sounds

pretty f***ed up.

Imagine if you

had done that to her.

I don't know.

Did you bleed a lot?

Yeah, there was

a lot of blood.

I spent the whole night

in the emergency room.

It was really fun.

That sucks.

Well, a bunch of us are

gonna go see that band

Fun Friends tonight.

You want to come?

Oh, nice.

Yeah, Mark keeps talking

about that.

Mm-hmm.

Well, text me

if you want me to put

you on the list.

Okay.

I have to go back

to work.

Pshew.

Pew pew.

Good morning,

ladies and gentlemen.

Good morning!

Are we all ready

for a very great day?

Yes.

I see some of you peeking

over into the corner.

- Is there somebody there?

- Yes.

Are you curious

about who that is?

Yes!

Yes? I hear some yeses.

So I would like to introduce

to you Miss Clark.

Miss Clark is gonna be

spending today with us

and she's gonna be spending

a couple of weeks with us.

Can you all give a very,

very warm welcome and say

"Hi, Miss Clark"?

Hi, Miss Clark!

Amazing.

So tell me -

tell me about your plan.

Tell me about

where you are in school

and what you're thinking.

Well, I just started

my junior year,

so I got one more

after this and then,

I'm gonna do it,

I'm gonna teach.

- You are?

- Yeah.

What are you thinking?

Do you want to do

elementary education?

I think so, I really do.

I just love the kids

and I love how open

their minds are

at this age, you know?

Yeah, there's this flowing

creativity all the time.

Exactly, and they just

say things.

You were great with them.

You were really good today.

Thanks.

Oh, uh-oh.

There we go.

- Yeah! Beautiful.

- Domino did not make cookies.

- Did Navador make you cookies?

- No.

Who makes cookies?

Topo makes cookies.

Topo makes the cookies.

Dan, have you met Jess?

No, I haven't. I just

saw the show tonight.

It was so good.

You guys are amazing.

Awesome.

Thank you for coming.

- Dan's our intern.

- Oh, cool.

Have you ever had

an intern?

No.

That would be awesome.

Oh, my God, we need

to get you an intern.

- Yeah.

- Interns are incredible.

Will you do a me

a favor?

Will you drink

the rest of your drink?

- This one?

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Did you see that?

- I saw that.

- That's amazing.

He did that for free.

You got credit, though.

You got course credit

for that.

Thank you, yeah.

So, um, Jess, your tour

is winding down.

Yes, we are about to play

our last show in Brooklyn.

Really?

Where in Brooklyn?

The music hall

of Williamsburg.

Oh, that's great.

We're so excited, yeah.

We've got - We've got plans

for Brooklyn.

We have designs

on Brooklyn.

Cool.

Yeah.

Can't say too much yet,

but the next time

you come through there,

we'll take care of you.

Soon enough.

Jess, come on.
