I might.
As long
as it's hamburgers.
So you like
hamburgers, huh ?
You got a problem
with that ?
No.
Is this the one ?
The one what ?
Uh, never mind.
Les, the grill, please ?
Thank you.
Okay, give me your coat.
All right, I want you to meet
'em and greet 'em,
smile and say,
"Thanks for coming."
Okay, where ?
Just wherever it's empty.
Okay.
Thanks, buddy.
How're you guys
doing tonight ?
( laughing )
You want me to
come over there and flip your
flapjacks for you, Frank,
huh, huh ?
Les, I got eggs over easy,
chili dog and hash browns.
Hamburger,
eggs, hash brown.
No, no, no, I said eggs
and chili dogs.
I don't do chili dogs.
I do hamburgers.
Just because
you like hamburger
doesn't mean everybody
likes it.
They do tonight !
Don't they ?!
Would you like me to put it
Well, if you want.
People want their food.
Boy, they can have it good
or they can have it fast,
not both !
His bark's
worse than his bite.
I'll take your
word for it.
Let's go.
( sizzling )
I want a steak.
Thick and rare.
Well, the cook said to tell
you that this was better,
so I wouldn't complain
if I were you.
But this ain't a steak.
Jim, not so loud,
everyone will hear you.
I don't care.
What about steak
don't Lola understand ?
Well, it's not Lola.
Really ?
You got a problem ?
I ordered a steak.
Well, that's what you got,
hammerhead.
That's hamburger steak.
That's the best
grub on the planet.
It is ?
If I say it is !
I, um...
tried to warn you.
Not hard enough.
No way.
I ain't eating that.
Who don't like
their food ?!
What's good ?
Hamburger.
Then I will have the pie.
Well, I really recommend
the ground round.
Pie is fine.
I call it
shepherd's pie.
Nice apron.
Brings out the color
of my eyes, don't you think ?
You don't want to
know what I think.
Keep it that way.
What gives ?
Well, Lola's sick
so I had to improvise.
So you brought in
Stalin as the chef.
Nice.
Well, we're selling
a lot of hamburger.
Yeah, I'm sure you are.
Um, listen, I want to...
apologize
for the other night.
No, you don't--
you don't need to.
Well, I feel like there's
something I need to explain.
You don't have to
owe me anything.
Technically,
I'm still married, so...
Oh.
I thought... I thought
when you said that...
I guess it doesn't--
it doesn't really matter
what I thought, does it ?
No, it does, just--
There's something
you don't understand.
You don't need to
explain anything.
I promise.
Any more orders ?
I'll ask Martha.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You call your
mom Martha ?
She's not my mom !
don't she ?
Yeah.
Well, then she's your mom,
treat her accordingly.
Why do you care ?
I don't.
At least about
a spoiled kid like you.
I'm not spoiled.
Oh, yes, you are.
That's why those
punks pick on you.
You-you don't know
not-nothing about me !
I know that you have
a hard time talking
and you wear glasses
so you think
you have a tough time.
Well, you don't.
How do you know ?
'Cause I was
your age once.
Yeah, wh-when there
were dinosaurs.
You wanna know
a simple way to stop 'em ?
I'll take that
as a yes.
Come here.
Now, I once knew a man,
little fella,
worked in a bank,
and he got into some
kind of trouble
and they sent him to jail.
Well, the minute
he got there,
it was just awful,
'cause the worst bully
in the joint
harassed this guy
and he stole his food,
he opened his mail.
He never gave
that little guy a break.
What did he do ?
He went crazy.
What do you mean ?
Well, that little
fella got one of the guards
to warn the bully and his
buddies all about him.
He said that little banker
was a-- a psycho.
He said he-- he did
terrible things to people.
That's why he was in jail.
He said that
little banker's
the most dangerous man
he ever saw.
He said if anybody
pushes him over the edge,
he's gonna pay for it
big time.
It was--
it was just a story ?
Yep.
Because, most of the time,
what people seem like
is a lot more important
than what they are like.
You understand ?
Maybe.
That little man put
a piece of Alka-Seltzer
under his tongue,
foamed up like
he was foaming like a dog.
he's got a real
fight on his hands,
well, he's not gonna want it
to continue.
No, the biggest troublemaker
you're ever gonna have to deal
with in life
is watching you from
Do you understand ?
Yeah.
Good boy.
Hey, Miles ?
You need to get some sleep.
We're not gonna have
any more customers tonight.
Okay.
What's all this for ?
It's for
making root beer.
What's th-this for ?
Looks like a recipe.
Maybe w-we could
try it sometime.
Listen,
you need to get to bed.
You can sleep on the couch,
okay ?
Okay.
And I want to say thank you,
you were great today.
Sure.
All right.
Any more ?
Oh, I think we're done.
What's that boy of yours
want for Christmas ?
He hasn't said much.
I didn't ask that.
I don't know, he probably
wants some homemade root beer.
He's a man
after my own heart.
Oh, Les, I--
I couldn't, no.
Is your arm broke ?
Those kids
deserve a Christmas.
Les, I can't.
No, no.
You are the most arduous woman
I've ever met in my life.
Les, really--
Thank you.
Now go home.
Go on,
I'll clean up.
Oh, Trudy has a little
get-together Christmas Eve.
Shuts down early.
Bring the kids.
Thanks, I will.
Oh, thanks.
We did good.
( chuckling )
( Joe )
Hey.
Thought you
might want a ride.
You were waiting for us ?
I had to
impound your car.
Oh.
Why didn't you tell me ?
Would it have made
a difference ?
I might have been able to
save you a $200 impound fee.
Thanks for towing me.
You want a ride ?
No, walking's
good for the soul.
Ri-riding's good, too.
Hop in.
Just need to
fill in behind it.
With what ?
You know,
Christmas stuff.
We're gonna be late.
Oh, hey,
it's a half-day.
I told you you could
miss if you wanted.
I changed my mind.
Oh.
We can finish it tonight.
Okay.
Well, bye.
Bye.
Love you, bye.
Bye.
Miss Lilee, what are we
gonna do today ?
D-did you pick up
what I told you ?
Sure did.
Okay.
Let's do this.
Okay.
( knocking )
Hi, I wasn't
expecting you.
Need to talk to you.
She wants
more money for the house.
No, but she has decided she
doesn't want to rent it now,
but I'll keep looking.
It's probably just
a waste of your time.
No, helping folks
Danny, you'd better not
bother him today.
Is wimp boy afraid ?
No, psycho.
Huh ?
I tried to talk to him
but he wouldn't listen.
I'll make him listen.
No, you don't understand.
He's dangerous.
Real dangerous.
I'm afraid he'll
hurt someone... again.
Again ?
Last time this happened,
we had to move.
Do you think
we like it here ?
We have to be here.
What-- what
do you mean ?
Too late.
I tried to warn you.
( growling )
( growling )
Yes !
Holy crap !
I can't believe
