- bill Murray keeps trying to kill himself?
- You don't make sense.
The most important
things to know,
they are not, but relevant
"the one" assessment material?
You might say.
I'm just sayin'
take in a little bit more data
before you f***in' propose.
All right. She could turn
out to be a serial killer.
Trust me when I say this.
They come from places
I have no idea what that means.
Look, man.
That's cool about the date
that's cool about teeing
her up on a "c" night.
"C" night?
What are you talking about?
- We're going out Tuesday.
- Exactly. Tuesday night.
Nothin' too serious, just
wanna have a little fun.
Not wasting an "a" or "b" night.
Strong work.
She did suggest Tuesday.
- You still there?
- Yeah. Look,
I gotta get back to little
Jeffrey Dahmer here
but try to keep things
in perspective, okay?
Okay. Okay, fine.
Be gone with you.
Oh, and by the way...
She's the one.
Ah, well, she's not the one.
She's definitely not the one.
Angela's ancient history.
Do we gotta keep
talking about it?
Incessant whining is
driving me f***ing crazy.
Angela aside,
what kind of therapist
drops someone
as f***ed up as you?
Ah, well.
It's not all that bad.
He said we could
still be friends.
Take the cash you were giving
Dr. "don't call me,
I'll call you"
and put it towards full-body
massages twice a week.
Then you see how many
problems you still have.
Yeah, I don't really see how
that's gonna help me
find Mrs. right, but sure.
- Whoo!
- Dude, come on.
- You can't do that.
- What?
'Cause I'm not cute and
cuddly, me taking a leak
somehow defiles the
dog-piss-laced pavement
- we've been runnin' on
since 72nd street? -Yeah.
Come on, man. My prostate's the
size of a f***in' honeydew.
- You see?
For cryin' out loud, lady,
you're carrying a bag of sh*t.
Huh?
You need to quit your cryin'.
It's not like you
couldn't see this comin'.
- What?
- What? I...
- Don't...
- Come here.
- Okay.
- Huh?
All right.
- Pearl harbor...
Is that why we are fighting?
Or is it because of...
Britain?
Whoo!
Oh, my god.
Hey there, fly girl.
I got your text.
- Charlie!
Oh, my god!
You have to do a shot.
These Irish car bombs,
they're so good.
Actually, you know what?
- I'm good.
- Shots! Shots all around!
Yeah, maybe just one more 'cause
Anne and I were gonna go.
You know what
I mean? Sex.
- Right.
- Oh!
- Oh, my god.
- Whoa!
Oopsie-Daisy,
Angela has arrived!
- Come on.
That's okay.
- Help me up.
You all right? Maybe we
should get her to bed.
Huh?
Oh, sh*t!
You guys are a bunch
of f***in' amateurs.
Whoo! That was fun!
Okay. Here we go.
Let me just...
Okay, you wanna split?
Whoever he is, seems to
be able to handle it.
- I bet. -To the extent that
either of you are worried,
- I'll be leaving momentarily.
- No, Charlie!
See? She's fine.
So let's... Go dress
up like robots
and sniff each other's panties.
Warning. Warning.
Remember that?
You're not gonna let her sleep
in all those clothes, are ya?
Okay!
We can go now!
- Yeah?
- I think he's gay.
Hey! Don't do anything
I wouldn't do.
Okay.
Your phone is right
by your bed here.
I pre-dialed 9-1-1,
so, if you get
night all you have to do
- is push the green button.
- Oh.
- Okay?
- Okay.
As long as you can
make it through the night
without the use of
paramedic care, which...
If practice makes perfect, I don't
think you'll have a problem with.
A glass of water and some stuff for
your head right next to your phone.
- Hmm.
- Beyond that...
- I gotta go.
- Sh*t.
I'm sorry.
I really like you.
I do.
You're a good guy.
Oh, god.
I'm a mess right now.
Look at me.
You probably hate me.
- I don't hate you.
- I would hate me.
Oh, f***.
Please, just promise me
that you'll go out
with me again.
Please? No drinking. We'll go see a movie.
It'll be so fun.
What about Friday?
Are you free?
I was thinking Monday.
Just kidding.
Whenever you want.
Whenever.
It'll be so fun.
Huh? Yeah?
You are somethin' else,
you know that?
I know.
So, why not go out with me?
What's the worst
that can happen?
to be his best man,
a lot of memories
flashed through my mind.
In fact, I can vividly
remember the first time
I ever saw Rebecca
and Brice together, huh?
It was red lobster,
Brice's 29th birthday.
F***in' all you can eat
popcorn shrimp
I knew at that very moment
I could see it in her eyes.
Brice should absolutely
under no circumstances
marry this woman!
But, of course,
I said nothing and, now
2 1/2 years later, here we are.
To the happy
un-couple!
- My man.
Thank you, Vince!
Thanks to all of you
for being here to help celebrate
- It really does mean the world. -You
guys know Brice is an a**hole, right?
You may have noticed that my wife
Rebecca won't be joining us tonight.
Yeah, but, at least
he's our a**hole.
That's because I have divorced that
cheating b*tch effective today!
She does send her regards
from the throes of hell.
Plus some of the sh*t this a**hole
spews... it's fun to watch.
It's official,
so let me go ahead
and set a couple things
straight.
First, yes...
These are real.
And, second, yes...
Sexy ladies of New York City...
All of you...
Not you! That's f***ed up.
She's my cousin.
- She's my cousin.
- F***ing with you.
But sexy ladies
of New York City,
I am totally f***ing available
to crush ass and/or p*ssy
any time you want!
Take these motherfuckin'
divorce papers!
I'll take these divorce papers
from the bottom of my dick!
- Take it from my dick!
- Mmm. Oh...
- All right.
That hurts good.
All right.
I'm gonna go.
- Oh!
- Seriously, though
- I kind of...
- Okay, okay, okay.
I don't know what it is...
I just kind of don't even know
where to start with all this.
- That's the thing. -I
bet you don't, Charlie.
All right?
That's natural.
I didn't know how good I had
it single until I got married.
- Never do that again. No
offense, buddy. -Right.
- Kathy's a... -no, no, listen.
I understand
that sounds good,
but I think it...
I think it's too good
to be true. Am I right?
I have way more sex single
than I ever had married.
- Come... really? -Yes and what's better
than a f***in' one-night stand?
There's no commitment.
There's no annoying
neediness or feelings.
And when she spreads her
legs free of obligation
of commitment, of the need to
give her half of what you own...
You can't have half of this,
not without
one of these, my friends.
That free-market
p*ssy is gold!
- Gold, huh? -A coveted
commodity that appreciates
in a down economy? You
bet it's f***in' gold.
And you need to hoard as
much of that gold as you can
while the single man's liquidity
proposition still exists...
- Jesus Christ.
- My friend.
Forget about Angela.
You realize the next time
