when Daniel Mercer

is gonna be released?

Can you spell

his last name for me?

M- E-R-C-E-R.

Well, we can hold him

for up to about 24 hours,

so I would suggest you maybe

come back tomorrow.

24 hours?

24, at least.

Okay.

Okay, thank you.

Take me home, okay?

- Dan.

- Don't do it.

Dan.

Dan -

Sorry.

I don't have anything

to say to you.

Talk to me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Great job, Luke.

Yes?

How do you spell "winter?"

Winter? W-

Mel, are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, yeah.

I just don't feel good.

I'm sorry about that.

Well, if you don't

feel well, you can go home.

Really?

Yeah. I got this.

Trust me.

Okay.

Yeah, maybe - maybe

it's for the best.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry. All right,

I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you.

All right, everybody.

Take two more minutes

to finish your work.

Yes, ma'am!

Yes, ma'am.

Dan!

Thank you.

Saved us. Wow.

We got a question for ya.

Please, sit down.

Okay.

So...

Question...

What do you like better,

the Early Oughts

or the Wild Bucks?

The Wild Bucks.

Bam.

Thank you.

Would you like a job?

What?

Seriously.

Would you like a job?

You heard us talking

about how we're gonna

set up that office

in Brooklyn.

Jason's gonna go

out there and run it.

I'm gonna be out

every once in a while,

but we need somebody

on the ground there

to do the sh*t

he can't do.

Um, thank you, guys.

This is amazing.

I don't know what to say.

Sure.

It's like an assistant.

You help set up shop,

get the office running,

you'll go see shows.

'Cause I have a newborn and

I'll be moving into a house.

So I'll be living

vicariously through you.

Cool.

Well, think about it.

I would feel much better if you

were going out there with me.

But I'll talk

to y'all later.

Okay.

Look,

I love the initiative

you're taking here at Topo

and we wouldn't be

offering you this job

if we didn't think

that you were really

part of the family.

You know, like

take a couple of days

and think about it,

that's fine.

I understand

you have a life here,

you've got a girlfriend.

You make choices in life.

You know,

you win something,

you lose something.

Man, I can't - can't

thank you enough.

Absolutely, brother.

You earned it.

Cool.

Get the f*** out

of my chair.

Okay.

Hey.

Congrats.

Thanks, man.

Yeah, no, they shouldn't

know the words.

They can't possibly.

You knew?

You f***ing knew.

F*** you.

Why the f***

didn't you tell me?

They made me promise not

to tell you. It was -

- "They made me promise. "

- It was very hard.

It was very difficult

for me not to tell you.

Well, what the f***?

Put 'er there.

Yes!

I'm sorry. I'm very

happy and excited.

I'm happy for you.

You want to get a drink

later to celebrate?

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

But, guys, like

what if he's there?

He's not gonna be there.

I'd be surprised if he

even knew these people.

Someone invited me

from class.

Okay, you have some really

cute things in here.

Guys, why isn't he

texting me back already?

This is

so f***ing stupid.

Oh, my gosh, Mel.

Come on, come out

with us tonight.

It'll be fun

to just forget about Dan

and just let loose

a little bit.

No.

It's stupid

for me to go out.

All right.

Well, we are gonna

get out of here, then.

All right.

Have fun.

Bye, girl.

Call us

if you wanna come.

Bye.

Hey, it's Dan.

You know what to do.

Hey, uh, it's Mel.

Um...

I, uh -

I miss you.

Call me back.

Bye.

So.

Um, I just wanted

to apologize

about that text

I sent you the other day.

I was really drunk

and I know

you have a girlfriend

and I do not want to be

that person.

Even - um...

Yeah, Mel and I are

actually on kind of a...

break right now.

Well, tonight,

we are celebrating

you leaving us

for Brooklyn,

so let's drown

your sorrows, huh?

Sounds great.

Ahem.

Ah.

I don't know,

it's just kind of

frustrating right now,

'cause...

I just felt like

this should be

just a purely happy moment

and, instead,

it's just like

"Now, what the f***

do I do?"

Uh...

You go to Brooklyn.

Yeah,

that's what you do.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're going

to Brooklyn.

You'd be crazy not to.

I guess so.

I don't know.

I totally, totally know

what you're going through.

My boyfriend and I

broke up after we graduated,

but it took us

about a year, I think,

to realize that's

what we were doing and,

yeah, it just sucked.

Finally, after a long

while, I realized

we were going in totally

different directions.

But, I mean,

maybe that's not

what's gonna happen

to you.

Hey-ey-ey-ey.

Aah!

What the f***?

You came!

I'm so glad you're here.

Hey, hey,

meet our new friends.

This is Will.

Hey.

Mel.

And this is Austin.

You came just in time.

We are just taking shots.

There you go, baby.

Wait, wait, wait,

wait wait wait wait!

- Let's cheers...

- To me.

To Mel,

because we all know you've been

going through a rough time.

- But you know what?

- What?

F*** Dan, because you are

so much better than Dan.

Who the f***'s Dan?

Who the f*** cares?

- F*** 'im.

- Yay.

I want to do

that one next.

Dan.

Journey?

Journey? Absolutely.

Hey, guys, guys,

pay attention to us.

We are the -

Make me.

Sing away. When you

give us something

to pay attention to,

we'll pay attention.

All right, so we're gonna

sing a song about love.

Oh, you good?

More?

Ugh. Mnh.

Ohh! Fu-

Sorry.

Ugh!

I just want

to party forever.

Okay, okay.

Well, let's

take you home, okay?

We're just gonna

take you home, all right?

It'll be fun.

I'm gonna go back

to the party after this.

Hold on, you know,

let me just -

I have to go pee.

Just don't -

Ew, that's disgusting.

Why does he gotta pee?

I cannot believe you -

Oh, wait, wait!

Aah! Aah!

Can I have a little

privacy, please?

What the f***?

We're tryin'

to walk, here!

You're gonna

take us all out.

You're gonna take us

all out. Okay, steady.

Okay, we're going there.

C'mere.

Ooh!

Okay, c'mere.

Do you want your shoes

on or off?

Well, I guess

I'll take them off.

Take them off.

Okay, your shoes are off.

You're at home, okay?

I'll tuck you in.

I love you, too.

We're gonna go back.

Don't vomit in your sleep

and die, okay?

Okay, I'm gonna go back

to the party, okay?

Are you gonna come

back to the party with me?

Oh...

Mmm, is it...?

Do you think I could like

crash here? Would that be -

Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

You can just sleep

on the couch,

or something,

but I'm gonna go back.

Okay, cool.

All right.

Will you just grab her

a glass of water,

or something,

before you go to bed?

Uh, yeah, sure.

- Thanks.

- Yeah, no worries.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight!

Whoo!

That's right.

F***in' rocks!

Yeah!

Come on.

Come on, Amanda.

Knock-knock.

Dan?

Doctor's orders.

You want some water?

Mnh, no.

You should drink something.

Come on.

You will - you will - you will

thank me in the morning,

if you just have

some, yeah.

One more sip.

You should, seriously.

You - you will thank me

in the morning.

Drink some more.
