Hi. Can I have a 7 and 7?

You look like an athlete.

I'm sorry?

You look athletic.

You know, like an athlete.

We're here

for a basketball game.

I knew that.

You don't see

too many girls in here.

Yeah. No, it's just

a close bar for me.

It's just... Close place

to get a drink, whatever.

Shh, shh.

Go get dressed, hon.

There's no school today.

- You don't got school today?

- It's Columbus Day.

Well, go get dressed

and wash your face.

Listen. I... I, uh...

I had a nice time.

Hey, do you, um...

Do you think I could get

a hundred dollars?

You wanna borrow

a hundred dollars?

Well...

You work at that place,

don't you?

- No.

- Yeah. You do.

No. It's just...

I could really use it.

Look, I don't got

that kind of money.

Well, why not?

Aren't you, like,

a ballplayer and all that?

Look, I'm sor...

I had a nice time.

You wanna get

something to eat?

Is he coming?

Look at this. You're gonna need

some new shoes, huh?

Mm-hmm.

I'll take the dog out for you.

I'm gonna be late.

Almost forgot

about you, huh?

All right, let's...

Uh-oh.

Come on.

F***.

Sunny!

We'll go eat.

You know what you want?

Go ahead. Read it

and tell her what you want.

All right, we'll just have two of

the 2.99 breakfast specials.

That's scrambled?

Scrambled.

- And coffee comes with

that, right? - Yeah.

- Do you have your

players card? - Oh, yeah.

Got ya.

This is nice, huh?

Well, I'm gonna

call a car.

And they can take you to Jenny's,

if that's what you want.

Okay.

That'd be nice.

You get the day off.

Can I go get a pie?

They sell pie

at breakfast?

Well, I mean,

it's definitely a flood.

I know it's a flood,

but it's, you know,

not a natural one,

and that's...

Okay.

Okay. Yeah.

Well, you're probably fine,

but I'm here if you change your mind.

Mm-hmm.

There's no direct extension, but anybody

here can help you start a policy.

Yeah.

It's a call center.

Mm-hmm.

- Hi. Sorry.

- Hold on a minute, will ya?

Max, um,

I was hoping that if... if, um,

Ted comes walking through here,

could you maybe

just tell him I'm around?

If I'm around, sure.

Actually, looks

like Ted needs you.

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

They're gonna use

the lot.

We can triple

the investment.

Okay.

You wanted to see me?

We're getting a new

software package, okay?

Which means all of us are gonna

have to use the computers.

I'm just bringing everyone in in person to

see if there are any issues with that.

- Yeah, that sounds great.

- All right.

- So you got a big investment coming up?

- Yeah, what, on the phone?

You know the dirt lot

across the street?

They're gonna run

a gas line through it.

I know the guy

who's got the lease.

He doesn't know

anything about that.

We take over the lease,

we could triple it.

I always mean to invest.

You know,

you always hear about that.

"Invest for the future."

So...

You want in?

I mean, we could maybe give you

a share for... 2,000.

- And I could triple it?

- That's what we're talking about.

But you gotta come in soon, by the end

of the week. We close on Friday.

Okay. I will.

Good. Give me your cell.

We'll work on the details later.

You know what? It's new, so I can never

remember the number.

- Look it up on the phone.

- I don't have it with me.

It's at home. I don't like to take

personal calls at work.

Hey, give it to me later.

This will be good.

- Yeah.

- Yeah. Shh.

Thought you

were going home.

Oh. Yeah.

I'm just waiting on a car.

How far are ya?

I can take ya.

Well, what about Ted?

I mean, don't you gotta work?

I'll take you, I'll come back.

Come on.

What's this?

Oh, uh,

that's just work.

You take pictures?

Portraits. Part-time,

at the mall.

That's really nice.

All right.

Maybe I can come in for a minute

and use the bathroom?

Um, yeah, you know,

Sunny is kind of shy.

- Oh.

- Is that okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Sunny?

That's her name?

Uh, yeah.

Sunny.

Let me see.

I don't know.

I think these are narrow.

Here.

All right. What do you say?

We go with these, huh?

Hmm?

Come on. They got the little...

pink stripy guys on 'em.

What about Keds?

What's the difference,

Sunny, right?

If they had 'em here,

I'd get 'em.

I want what I had.

Well, we're here now,

and these are fine.

I still gotta get stuff for your party,

and I gotta get back to work.

Hi.

Go get your stuff.

I can charge these, right?

So which is it?

You're gonna

wear 'em or not?

All right, fine.

F*** it.

One cheeseburger meal?

Yeah.

And a shake.

Just with a normal drink, like a coke,

and also a number three.

What, are you... What, are you...

You're not hungry?

You don't wanna eat?

Are you gonna eat

the Happy Meal or what?

I'm gonna go get a shake.

You know what? No.

We're going.

Come here.

Take your food...

so you can eat it at home.

Here.

Can't look for shoes for you all day

and then have you throw a fit.

Hi. Can I have a car

at the Galleria Mall, please?

Yeah, how much

is that gonna be?

It's gonna be

a minute, so...

might as well eat.

Let's take the bus.

- I'm not taking the bus.

- I can eat on the bus.

We're not taking

the f***in' bus, Sunny,

so eat that or I'm

gonna take it away!

Come on.

It's too late to go back

to work now too.

All right,

I'll be back in a bit.

I can give you five dollars.

Yeah. Leave it

on the table there.

How's your girl?

- Oh, she's good.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

She's growin'.

Sonny, right?

Uh-huh.

Like Sonny and Cher?

No, it's not a man's name.

It's... It's...

S- U-N-N...

It's like the sun,

you know?

Sunny.

You still dancing?

I never danced there.

Mom, these are too hard.

What?

Oh, God. Don't eat it.

It's okay.

It's not okay. It's not okay.

You gotta eat.

- We can order pizza.

- Honey, we can't.

You want some soup?

Just microwave it,

and it'll become soft.

Let's see.

It's good.

It's hot. Be careful.

This isn't fair.

Look, I just

wanted to see, uh,

maybe what was going on

with the money, you know.

'Cause, um,

I got this investment

coming up.

No, it's with work.

You can come here.

Please. I never said that.

No, that is not true.

Yeah, well, you know what?

I'm not the one...

Why don't you stop

worrying about me?

Why don't you

stop worrying about me?

Yeah? Well, when?

Come on.

Yes!

I can't take you every day though.

You know that, right?

- I know.

- Good.

Yeah, I liked

being a waitress.

It was great 'cause you got to eat.

You know?

Be no good for me.

I eat enough dog sh*t

as it is.

- You like it?

- What, the job?

I love it.

It's the best.

But you know what?

Every month, this guy

gives me five bucks a pop...

for some names,

their socials, e-mails.

What's he do with them?

Mm-mm-mm.

It's 400 bucks though.

Jesus.

I could see if he needs

some more.

Huh? No.

Well, I can get you a deal

for your little girl.

If you want

some portraits of her.

I gotta get back. Come by tonight.
