Infinity Air,

Sit down.

Jim,

what are you doing?

Sit down.

No, Jim,

it's my account.

It's my account.

Please.

Can't you control

this idiot?

Next year. Ha.

Next year.

Congratulations.

[Imitates Somber

Commercial Music]

This is, uh, this is

terrifc, thank you.

Buddy:
Thank you

for this award. It's great.

Um, boy, it's so heavy.

That's what you're supposed

to say, right?

That and, uh, "Oh, this is

what it looks like up close."

It's, uh... But thank you.

This is great.

It's good to see

all of you.

It really is.

'Cause I've been, uh...

I haven't been around much

this year, and, uh...

you know...

You see, I was supposed

to be on that flight.

Aw.

It's ironic, 'cause I could

have been one of those people

who believed so much

in Infnity Airlines

that they were glad to die

just so it could show

how well it handled it,

really.

Isn't that

what we're saying?

" Hey, we crashed,

but we're hurting,

and we're humble,

and, uh,

we're ready to sell

some tickets."

All right. Thank you!

Thank you very much.

Um, thank you,

ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you very much.

Shame about

the dead people.

It's an ill wind, but it blew us

right onto the map!

Jim:
Please, come on.

It's fne, Jim.

I'm fne.

All right,

get off of me.

No more, no more.

Jim:
Aah!

[Audience Gasps]

So, is there

a party after?

Jim:
Now that you're

done with rehab,

what's next, uh,

meetings, counseling?

Buddy:
No, I'm good,

I'm fine.

I just want to

get back to work.

You know what? You

should take your time.

I mean, we're

in good shape.

How could you be in good shape?

I've been gone for 90 days.

Hey, hey, you've

been gone for a year

since the crash,

but who's counting?

You look good, though.

A bit, um... [Chuckles]

Think it'll take?

- Yeah.

- Hmm?

Feelin' good?

Good.

[Car Alarm Chirps]

[Airplane Flying]

Jim:
Here, 2 floors.

24,000 square feet.

Employee and client

parking,

and within one block

we have 2 banks,

a Kinko's, and a couple

dozen Starbucks.

What's the rent?

No, no, no. We buy.

Already got a deal

with the owner.

He wants to get out of

the landlord business.

Old guy, not very savvy.

He'll do it for 1.8

and without a broker.

[Sighs]

Wow. Sounds great.

When do I, uh,

when do I get to see it?

That is assuming, you know,

you want my input?

Jim:
Look, it's gonna

be great, Buddy.

You're gonna love it.

Don't fght it because

you were out of the loop.

I... I know, man.

Jim, come on.

It's great. It's fne.

It's gonna be great.

- Oh.

- OK?

Just... Just excuse me

for a second.

Sure you want

to do that?

Whoop. Ha.

Wrong drink. This is mine.

It's apple juice.

Seth:
Hey.

Uh, you don't want

to stare at me like that

in the men's room.

It's sexual harassment.

[Laughs]

Are you kidding?

I'm not gay.

No, but I am.

And you are my boss.

At least, offcially, so...

Since when?

Since about a week after they

shipped you to Palm Springs.

You had some sort of a breakdown

during an awards ceremony?

Or that... that's what I heard.

It wasn't a breakdown,

OK? It was an episode.

What do you do here

exactly?

Uh, P.A.

Offce floater.

I work with the computers

mostly.

Would that have been

your frst drink

since they released you?

[Shuts Off Faucet]

Boy, you got

some nerve, kid.

Relax.

I'm a drunk, too.

6 years sober.

A.A. and N.A.

And we hired you?

I had to sign

a "no-episode" clause,

but yeah. [Laughs]

Look, if you want some help

with your re-entry,

I'd be happy to oblige.

Just don't screw up.

There's a lot of really

nice people working here,

and why should they pay

for your sh*t?

'Cause I own 20%

of the company.

And in case you were

picking pimples

when they covered this

in your rehab,

alcoholism is a disease.

Yeah. Yeah. You can catch it

from open bottles.

You're not gonna

make me feel guilty

for something

I had no control of.

Oh, you're that type.

Cool.

When was the last time

anything was your fault?

I don't believe this guy.

Did they do A.A. up

where they dried you out?

You know, the whole

12 steps, all that jazz?

Yeah, yeah, they tried,

but I don't believe in God.

He'll be crushed

when he fnds out.

You're not gonna

last a week sober.

[Door Opens]

F*** you.

Seth:

Welcome back, boss.

[Door Closes]

Hey, P.S., you're fred.

Beth Orton:
Livin'in

the middle of the ocean

With no future, no past

And everything

that's good right now, well

I don't wish for it

to last

I'll step through

brilliant shades

Every color you bring

'Cause this time,

this time, this time

Is fine just as it is

And today

Is whatever

I want it to mean

Today

Is whatever

I want it to mean

Ooh, hey, hey,

yay, yay, yay, yay

Yeah, yeah

[Dog Barking]

Hello?

Abby:
Ah, just a minute.

OK, come on.

Get in here.

Come on. [Kisses]

Come on, come on.

[Door Closes]

- Hi. Hello.

- Hi.

I'm sorry,

I just had to...

uh, put the dog

in the bathroom.

I'm... I'm AbbyJanello,

Vinegrove Realty.

Buddy Amaral, just driving by,

saw your sign.

You know what?

Actually, the dog's not

supposed to be here,

but, um, my friend who

was supposed to watch him...

he can't

be left alone...

she has a doctor's

appointment.

[Dog Bumps,

Barks]

Everything's fne,

and then involuntary

urination.

Well, I hope the doctor

doesn't keep her waiting.

No, the dog.

Oh, right.

You're kidding.

That's very funny.

Well...

This is

a wonderful property.

It's Buddy, right?

Are you interested?

You want

to check it out?

It'll just take

a minute.

Sure. Sure.

Um... [Coughs] Sorry.

The last, uh, person

I showed this to smoked.

Um...

[News Playing On Radio]

Oh, God, well...

there's been a lot of

interest in this property.

Ooh. Um...

Turn down the news.

[Sighs]

That's better, right?

[Dog Barking]

Um, OK, well,

here is the setup.

[Dog Banging Door]

And there's my card.

Um, that beeper number's

actually...

Ow.

I'm... I'm actually between

beeper numbers at the moment,

so, you know,

just ignore that. Um...

Maybe you should

let him out.

So, um, what line of

business are you in?

What's his name?

The dog,

what's his name?

Fred.

[Dog Barking,

Banging]

Abby:
You know what?

He doesn't like people,

and he's not trained,

'cause I've only

had him a year.

[Snarling]

[Whistles]

Hey, Fred, it's OK.

Hey, Fred, Fred,

come here.

That's it, Fred. See?

I'm great with dogs.

Fred!

Rottweilers are great.

I had one

when I was a kid.

Fred, good boy.

Here you go. See?

[Dog's Barking

Decreases]

Yeah.

You know what? Actually,

do you mind coming back?

Oh, my God, my boss

is coming right now,

and, uh, I think

it would be better

if you came

at, like, noon.

I'm sorry.

Is something wrong?

I didn't say it was

a rottweiler, OK?

[Dog Barking]

I saw you...

I saw you

with the dog outside.
