I don't know you

that well, so... oh.

Thanks.

You take the bed.

OK.

Good night.

Good night.

When's the last time

you tied a tie?

I don't know... prom?

But yeah, I could tell.

Didn't do it well then, yeah.

And it's not looking good.

Thank you for rubbing it in.

I'm sorry, man.

I don't know how to

f***ing fix this thing.

Thank you.

Hey, Jack.

- How are you, Charlie?

- Doing well. How are you?

- Good, thanks.

- Good to see you.

Jack Leroy, I'd like you to meet

the newest member of our team,

my cousin Sam Seneca.

- Sir.

- It's a pleasure.

Charlie told me

an awful lot about you.

Has he? Did he mention I don't

know how to tie a f***ing tie?

Ah. I hate ties.

Oh, thank God.

Let's get rid of this.

So, you guys wanna have a seat?

Charlie tells me

you were a Green Beret?

I didn't like Berets

either. That's a joke.

I actually really miss my guys.

What unit were you in?

I was with SAG OP 35.

You must have spent more time

in Laos than Vietnam.

Yeah?

Yes, I did.

Yeah, about 2 dozen

of us went over together,

and only a handful

of us made it back.

Thank you for your service.

Thank you for yours.

And I would like to thank you

both for your service.

Will Sam be handling my account?

Absolutely, if that's

what you'd prefer.

Yeah, I would.

You busy tonight?

- Uh, no, I'm not.

- OK, here.

I think you should

come over to dinner.

What do you say?

It sounds good.

This is my home address.

We'll put away some cheap food

and some very

expensive scotch, huh?

- That sounds great.

- All right, good.

So, uh... Jack,

does this mean we can

count you in for the 10?

Well, I've heard

your spiel a dozen times,

but I guess I need

to hear it again,

because I'm thinking

more like 25.

Great.

That's great, yeah.

No, Jack, that's fantastic.

Listen, let me

give you this packet.

It's just investment philosophy,

recent performance,

and the like.

You can take a look at it.

Dude, you're

a f***ing natural, man.

- It's amazing.

- He's so nice.

No. Jack... let me

tell you something.

He's nice to people like you.

See, Jack just needs

somebody he can trust.

And with your background,

it's literally

the perfect combination.

Jules, can you get me

Lawrence on the line, please?

I keep trying his cell

and he's not picking up.

Thank you.

All right, man, so, listen.

I know that I said I would

cut you a check for 50K

if he went in for 10.

But since he's going in for 25,

I'm cutting you a check for 100.

You're shittin' me.

No. I ain't shittin' you.

I'm giving you 100K.

That's amazing.

And, by the way,

I want you to come

to my engagement

party this weekend.

I didn't know you were

having an engagement party.

I know.

Claire f***ed up.

You should have been

on the invite list.

I've no idea why you weren't.

But all my biggest

clients are gonna be there,

and I want to show you off.

- I'll be there.

- Awesome, awesome.

So, question:

Um... can you wear your uniform?

I'm not in the Army anymore.

Right. No, no,

I know, I know,

but there has to be like a grace

period or some sh*t, right,

where you can wear it to

formal events or something?

No?

I mean, I've only

been out a month or so.

And I am on terminal leave,

so, technically I could wear it.

Exactly, so...

so do you mind?

- No.

- Awesome!

Dude, it's gonna be

f***ing awesome!

And you're finally

gonna meet Simone,

who's been asking about you.

Lawrence is on the line for you.

Oh, sh*t.

OK, yeah,

tell him to hold for a sec.

Tonight, after your

dinner with Jack,

I wanna take you out

for a drink, man.

I think we should celebrate,

just get f***in' hammered.

All right, dude.

Thank you so much

for this opportunity.

No, dude, thank you, man.

You killed it, all right?

I appreciate it.

No, man, seriously.

You nailed it, all right?

Good work, dude.

- Good work.

- I'll see you tonight, man.

Have fun over there.

Hey, man.

We got it. Yeah.

Ha ha ha!

I sneak out the back,

hoping nobody notices.

And I walk over to this cliff,

'cause they don't have

f***ing bathrooms there.

I walk right to the edge,

and I'm about to piss,

and I just hear this guy

scream, "Don't do it, man!

"You've got your whole life

ahead of you!

Allah loves you!"

Ha ha ha! Don't jump!

Oh. I guess Allah did,

'cause I didn't jump.

Oh, my God.

Oh, pretty f***in' funny.

Ha ha ha.

Oh, this is great.

Thank you for inviting me over.

Oh...

I appreciate it,

just shootin' the sh*t.

Yeah, of course.

I miss this.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

We were on this

routine patrol one morning.

It's in the north,

right on the Cambodian border.

And we came across this...

What appeared to be

a deserted village.

There was nobody there,

but I could hear

what I thought was...

Sounded like a child singing.

And...

First I thought the voice

was maybe just in my head,

but as I got closer to this hut,

the singing

got louder and louder

until...

I opened up the door

of this hut and...

there was this

beautiful little girl.

She was about 6 years old,

and she was holding the hand

of her dead mother.

And...

she was just

singing and singing,

and she had this

huge smile on her face.

And I just...

I just stared at her.

Finally, she looked up

at me, and our eyes met.

And...

she just kept singing.

I can't...

Well...

Thank you.

Oh, yeah.

Wow.

I don't know what

I would have done.

Oh! Just talkin'

about you, man.

How you doin', brother?

You remember Greg, right?

Hug it out.

Hug it out.

That's some good sh*t

right there.

We were just braggin'

about you earlier today.

You were?

I was f***in' braggin'

about you, man.

I did a little research.

You have any idea how many

goddamn funds are run by vets?

We are gonna make so much

f***in' money, you and I.

We're gonna make

a fuckload of money, man.

You guys are the Dynamic Duo.

We're the f***in'

Dynamic Duo here.

I don't want to be Robin.

Dude, I'm Batman.

So, you got a f***in' choice.

Can we be another Duo?

All right, I gotta take a piss.

See you guys inside, yeah?

All right.

You are a lucky man,

getting in on Charlie's action,

I'll tell you.

It looks like he's gonna get

through without a scratch, too.

Get through what

without a scratch?

Oh, just all

the f***in' bullshit.

He's deaf in'

with the SCC, you know.

This investigation

is such bullshit.

Anyway, it's nothin'.

What do you mean?

What investigation?

Oh, no, no.

Honestly, don't even...

Get it out of your head.

Just like... bluhhh!

It's really nothing.

It's just they're worried he's

overvaluing some of his assets...

That sounds like something.

No, no, that's standard

practice in hedge funds, so...

What the f***!

We gotta go inside!

Sorry, I didn't know we were

even going to

a strip club, so...

This isn't my scene.

Ah, no, no, no.

Come on.

You're Captain America.

There's a roomful of trim would

pay to f*** a war hero like you,

or at least give you

a discount, you know?
