in there. That was so embarrassing.
What is it?
I can't believe I'm telling
you this. I hardly know you.
Took a pregnancy test.
It was negative, but...
The whole idea of it made my
whole life flash before my eyes.
You ever get nervous
about the future?
Me?
No.
I have a great set-up.
I'm fifty-five years old.
I work at a shitty movie
theater, and I live at home.
Well, I don't understand why.
You're so talented. I feel like you could
have a job at any restaurant you wanted.
Oh.
I'm glad I met you, Charlie.
Tuesday if you wanna go.
He just took the bar,
so it's a little celebration.
Tuesday night. I'm hanging out with
my friend Leslie and Brad that night.
- Well, you can bring them.
- Yeah?
Yeah, even bring Jack
too if you want.
I think I accidentally told him
about it anyway.
Right! I totally forgot
you got him that job.
It's no... no big deal.
Well, thank you.
Okay, so Tuesday.
It's a date.
Right. Tuesday it is.
- Okay.
- All right.
- Do you need anything?
- No, I'm good.
But come on in.
Sit down. Let's talk about it.
What's with your
mother's husband?
I don't wanna get into this with you.
Russ is a good guy.
There's no reason
You know...
How's your girlfriend?
- Amber. She's just a friend.
- Amber.
There's no need to keep things
from your old man.
I saw the way
she was looking at you.
- No, you didn't.
- Actually, yeah, I did.
And it gets to my point.
Maybe you have to be
more aggressive with her.
Sometimes, no matter
how hard it is,
you just gotta
step to the plate.
That sounds like a bad t-shirt.
Hey, hey, hey.
What?
I spoke with a gentleman
from New Orleans today.
Looks like I booked
my first assignment.
- Really? -He's gonna put
me up and everything.
Your old man is staying
at the Riverview Plaza.
- Well, that's great.
Thinks his wife is cheating
on him with his boss.
Lot of screwed up
people out there.
Like you?
Life is complicated, Charles.
Things aren't always as black
and white as they seem.
And you of all people
should know that,
especially after what
you been through.
Night.
Charlie...
I love you.
Love you too.
- Thank you.
- Cheers, guys.
Red wine doesn't even count.
It's sophisticated.
It is sophisticated.
All the cool people...
She's coming. Like this. It looks better.
She's coming in.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You've met Brad
and this is Leslie.
- Hey.
- Nice to meet you, Leslie.
I need a drink.
Hi, buddy, good to see ya.
You guys want something?
Just water's good. Thank you.
Water?
- How you doing? It's Brad.
- Heather.
- Hi, I'm Leslie.
- Heather.
Good to see you.
You with the thing?
- The party? Yeah.
- Yeah.
I'm a friend of Charlie's.
You know Charlie?
I know Charlie.
I work at the movie
theater with him.
I'm really into pop culture
and stuff, so it's cool. Yeah.
It's a pretty cool gig.
You know, it's all right.
- Cool.
- Yeah.
You want a drink?
Oh, don't worry
about it. I got it.
Oh, cool. Whiskey on the rocks.
No, I'm actually gonna
get myself one.
Whiskey on the rocks.
I just can't believe
that you're finally done.
Don't jinx it. It's not like
I passed yet.
But if I do, you should consider
coming to New York with me.
It's not that easy to just
pick up and leave.
Why? Are you the mayor?
What do you have going on here
that's so important?
You can't let fear of failure
run your life, man.
That's got to say something good
about taking risks.
It's funny. She's the only girl
I ever felt charming around.
- You're not charming.
- That's the thing. I know.
Sorry. I don't know
what I was thinking.
Hello?
This is kind of fun
for an old people party.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, I think that guy Charlie's
pretty nice, by the way.
Yeah, he's nice but he's got
some serious problems.
I mean, he means well
but he's just lost.
Since when are
you so judgmental?
I'm not. It's just...
Okay, he wants to own
a restaurant or something,
but he's so screwed up that
he won't even talk about it.
And that's the thing.
He's a really good cook,
but he won't take it seriously.
It's sad.
I don't know. I don't think I could ever
be with someone like that, you know?
Well, lucky for you
it's not an option.
Yeah.
Where you going?
I'm picking up
my son from school
- you want company?
- No.
What do you say you
let me take you out
thank you for letting me stay.
I didn't let you stay.
If it were up to me,
you wouldn't even be allowed
in the state.
Yeah.
Sam, I feel regret
every day for what I did.
I've missed you for a long time.
And I know you don't
believe me, but it's true.
- We had some good times.
- Yeah, and then you cleared out
my bank account and left me
alone with our son.
And I always meant
to pay you back. Always.
But things don't always pan out
the way you want them to.
- Why did you come back here?
- I have a job waiting for me
in New Orleans.
I wanted to see you guys.
And I had nowhere else to stay.
Yeah, that sounds more like it.
Well, I got myself into
a bit of a pickle.
I owe some people some money.
Are you ever gonna grow up?
I don't know. I'm trying.
I want a fresh start.
You broke my heart so badly, I didn't
think I was gonna be able to live.
Did you know that?
Yeah, I did.
I get a letter or something every
couple of years for two decades,
and then suddenly one day you show up like
you're a guest in some old friend's house?
Please. I'm gonna be late.
You're never gonna
forgive me, are you, Sam?
I don't remember you even
asking for forgiveness.
I'm asking you now.
No, no! Come on!
I had you!
I... I had him.
- Had who? -The white whale
to my captain Ahab.
I had him and now he's gone.
- Are you drunk?
- No!
Yes.
So what's the deal with your friend
Heather, man? She's pretty hot.
You mind if I try to move on in?
Move on in?
You trying to get a date or
infiltrate a foreign brigade?
Sh*t, man, I'm just asking.
You need to relax.
What's with you?
You depressed?
I'm fine, okay?
Thank you. Thank you.
- It's Amber, isn't it?
It is, huh?
Wanna know how I figured it out?
'Cause you're the first person in a long
time who's gone out of their way for me.
Being that I'm not
exactly prince charming,
I'm gonna go ahead
so my money's on Amber.
You trying to impress
her or some sh*t.
But the b*tch of it is,
she's got a boyfriend
who's in better shape, is better
looking, has a great future.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
All right, man, that's cool.
You think he's better looking?
Oh, yeah, I mean
look at the guy.
He's got a square jaw, his dick
probably has a six-pack. I'd do him.
Okay! All right.
Enough. Jesus.
You asked.
You missed a spot. Just there.
How's it going?
It's been a little while.
I've missed you.
Yeah, I've just been busy.
Things are hectic around here.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
