the black light...

Hey it was 1993 you

needed a black light.

Yeah I adore

the black light.

You want to watch

some, Friends?

-Try outs?

-Try outs.

The other option is I could

draw a little Gin Blossoms.

Yes would you?

Or...

Maybe Tilda weds Brocket?

I hate the sound

of Tilda weds...

Fine, Blues Traveler.

I like Blues Traveler.

Oh, Well, well...

[chuckles]

You literally have every shirt

you wore in high school still.

My mom kept stuff,

that's just...

God, yeah.

I remember

wearing this one.

This one.

I think this one is mine.

[laughing]

Oh, I always

hated this one.

[Jim] I looked

good in that.

You did not look good in it,

like a weird lumber jack.

You say that,

like it's a bad thing.

It is a very

bad thing.

Well, you know I'm sorry.

[gasps in surprise]

[vocalizing]

-That's private property.

-Oh really?

Have some respect, okay?

For what? For your privacy?

Yes, exactly.

You probably read

these to me out loud.

It's called privacy.

No, no, that's private.

Oh, my...

"The winds of change

are f***ing blowing tonight."

-No. Don't read.

-No.

-Don't read, no.

-"Amanda...

Amanda.

Who knew her name

was going to be Amanda.

-What a face."

-Hey!

"What a spirit.

My lips said hello

my friend

but my heart said

hello my future.

I don't even know

myself anymore.

Jim has been

ripped in half

but I'm so happy

to bleed,

for there is Amanda."

Oh, my God!

You want Japan

or New York?

New York

Oh, my God!

[laughing]

I found a picture of you

that is outrageous.

You don't deserve

this by the way.

Digging through my stuff.

Listen man, you don't have

lock on your sh*t

it's bound to get

broken into.

Man, I can't believe

you still have all this stuff.

Little crazy.

[Jim] Mom was a bit

of a hoarder.

Yeah.

Do you dare?

Are you brave enough?

"The winds of f***ing change

are blowing tonight."

F*** you.

"This first classic

performance is entitled

hanging out, May 1994."

Oh my God!

I don't know whats

happening. Good luck.

[Amanda]

What's it gonna be?

Oh boy!

[rap dual playing]

[Amanda]

She just don't understand

Oh, she jealous, she jealous

[Jim]

That's right folks

and mamma her mamma

and mamma had a son

-she just don't understand.

-No way.

She's jealous,

she's jealous, she's jea...

[both] Oh no!

You f***in' taped

over it,

-I was recording over...

-God damn it.

We were running

out of tape.

-Wait hold on.

-[Amanda] Welcome home.

[Jim] Thanks sweetheart

so good to see you.

[kissing]

[Amanda] How is work?

[Jim] You know

Glen Donavon is canceling

his account with us.

Twenty three years

doing business

together just like that,

can you believe it?

Oh, business.

23 years

with Glen Donavon...

[Jim] I'm sorry.

[Amanda] I've got little

something to cheer you up.

I've got something

to cheer you...

Not that.

You are in a late night

Cinemax movie.

[Amanda] Close your eyes.

-Why?

-Just do it!

See I'm the boss,

even then.

-[Jim] What are you doing?

-[shushing]

Would you be patient?

-I'm not patient.

-Jim, come on.

Okay, open them.

[Jim] Oh, my God!

[Amanda]

Happy 40th anniversary lover.

[Jim]

Oh, my God! Look at this meal

look what you did.

Sweetheart, it's beautiful.

I'm so thankful, I didn't get

you anything. I'm sorry,

I forgot.

[Amanda]

It's okay, you've been busy

just sit down, let's eat.

[Jim]

It's delicious, it's like...

-Oh, my God!

-Is it good?

I made your favorite.

[Jim] You are my favorite.

[Amanda]

I better be your favorite.

[Jim]

So did you talk

to Jessica yet today?

-I did.

-And?

[Amanda]

And she got it.

[Jim]

Yes, yes!

Oh, I knew she would.

I mean two years in

-she's already

getting promoted.

-But, are you surprised?

[Amanda] Ever since she

was three years old she

started telling me

what to ware I think

we knew not to worry.

[Jim]

Now I know our poor

Jason was a little

-Yeah.

-odd on the phone today.

[Amanda] I think it's so hard

when your big sister

is so successful.

[Jim]

Yeah must be,

but he's so wonderful

in his own way.

He's gonna find it,

I know he will.

[Amanda]

He's got your eyes.

He's got your heart.

[both chuckling on recording]

[Amanda]

We've got that great

couple of kids.

[Jim]

Oh yeah, they got

a great mom.

-Best mom in the whole world.

-Best dad in the whole world.

It's kinda funny like...

having the house

to ourselves again, isn't it?

All those years with the four

of us running around,

bumping in to each other.

It's back down

to the two of us.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

-But it's nice.

-Yeah, it's nice.

[Jim] Hey, I'm really sorry

I forgot to get an

anniversary present.

[Amanda]

It's okay.

[Jim] I feel really bad,

I'm gonna go

to the bathroom I'll be quick.

[footsteps departing]

[Amanda gasps]

Jim, what are you doing?

Oh, just nothing.

Here open it, open it.

[Amanda]

You got us tickets

to see Annie Lennox?

[Jim]

Yes I did. Happy anniversary

to you late dancing.

[Amanda]

You're such a b*tch,

you tricked me.

[Jim]

Yeah I still got a few tricks

left in my old sleeve here.

[kissing]

I love you Amanda Henderson.

I love you more.

You are so good!

[laughing and yelling]

-You're still

like an old man.

-Surprise!

You're still like an old man.

[Jim]

I actually believe that

you could really cook.

[laughing hysterically]

-Kiss me.

-Hey.

-Here's to 80 more.

-Yeah.

[Amanda]

Hundred and twenty more.

-Yeah we can do that, right?

-Yeah.

[recorder clicks]

We weren't very cool.

No, we were

deeply uncool.

That was really...

Yeah.

[rumbling]

I wonder where

that plane's going.

It's not coming here.

[laughing]

You'd think...

That town down there?

-Suck!

-Suck!

Although, you know what

it's the fact that it's dark.

You can't quite see

the shithole-ness.

That is right.

And actually

right now...

It does look

kinda pretty.

It's kinds nice

-Right?

-Yeah.

Not so bad.

What's on your mind, eh?

Is it that obvious?

I was really...

little unnerving...

back there, listening

to all that stuff.

I mean,

I seemed quite... fun.

-First of all.

-Your rapping career

didn't turn out the way

you hoped it would, I think.

I understand.

[both laughing]

It's almost like I don't know

who that person was on the tape.

I remember her

really well.

She was really fun,

wasn't she?

Yeah she's great.

-Yeah.

-And I...

Don't get me wrong

it's not that my...

life isn't that...

I just...

-Amanda?

-What?

I understand.

You don't have to explain

it to me.

Would you like to have

some fun tonight?

[laughing]

Like just some...

stupid ass... fun,

tonight.

Well now I'm scared.

What you gonna do?

Do you trust me?

I don't know.

-It's been a long time

I don't know.

-It's a big question.

-Yeah, it's been

a long time.

-I really don't know.

I say f***

the ice-cream now.

[gulping]

F*** the ice-cream.

Is that your new rap?

-F*** the ice-cream.

-F*** the ice-cream.

F*** the...

F***, f***...

F*** the ice-cream.

F*** the ice-cream.
