- Drop it.

A few, you know, big coincidences recently.

What coincidences?

You been looking for work for a year,

come home, suddenly pop! Job.

Well, maybe I should started out

looking for a job for a waitress.

Gloria, you're not a waitress!

This is new.

- What is it?

- Well..

You never been jealous like this before.

Je..

I am notjealous, you think I am jealous?

Look, all I am saying is this

pretty weird that you're here.

No, I am notjealous.

I am never been jealous no matter

how many times you

can made reason to be,

I am notjealous, and never been jealous.

Not about to be jealous.

And anyway, we're not going out.

- No we're not.

- So, doesn't matter.

You can do whatever you want.

Except find a job and take care of myself,

right?

Oh yeah, cause you really doing that,

just.. you're doing just great.

Just great,

you move back home working as a waitress.

So what?!

In a bar, by the way.

Unless you hate it on the internet,

I'll leave you alone, in a bar.

We're moving on. Really evolving.

Used to get your friends to buy you a beer,

cause you have their money.

Now I guess you just lean over the

bar and poised over cheeky one.

Now I used to lend you money,

now you just working the tips.

It's great, doing really great.

- I gotta go.

- No, no.

Look, I am sorry, I am sorry, just..

No, it...

I been trying talk

to you for awhile..

I just..

I acted like a total jerk, I am sorry.

No, I mean, I have to go to the bar,

my shift is starting.

Well, let me give you a lift.

No, no, it's okay, it's.. no.

I am here, I don't mind.

Dusty.

Hang on, what's going on here?

Sports, wildwest,

I think it's nightmare, isn't?

Medieval barbeque or something?

What is this place?

Hi.

This is.. this is Tim, this is Oscar.

- Hello.

- What's up?

- You know it's Gloria's idea.

- What?

You see,

this side of bar had been closed for years.

But Gloria here thought it was,

so ironic that

she was like "Hey,

you should open this back up".

And here we are.

Shall we?

What brings you in town, Tim?

Umm, work.

Work?

Good. Work.

I am sorry, do you want anything to drink.

Oh sure, I'll take a beer, thanks.

Great, make it two.

It's good to have her back in town.

And she's been a real help around here,

a lot of great ideas.

- No, it'sjust surprise, that's all.

- Oh yeah, why?

You don't think she's

capable doing job like this?

Well, no, of course she's capable.

Should anybody else do this, right?

No, I mean,

this worthy job as anything else.

Well, I am glad you find it worthy.

No, I just..

Never done anything like this before.

You guys keeps talking like I am not here.

Hey Oscar,

can I have another cup of coffee please?

Actually hold on.

Don't go. One sec, Joe.

Sit, sit.

Tim, what would say would the most

irresponsible thing to do in this bar?

What would you think about it?

For example.

Imagine I would do stand up

right here and show you my ass.

I'd pretty rude. And yet, it's not the

first time, so much that's happen here.

Not this early of course.

But it has happened. Right Joe?

Yes. Now can I get some more coffee please?

One sec.

I could take a pistol over there,

in that corner booth.

Break one of the windows.

You and me, we could get a big old

fist right here in front of anyone.

Those are all the

irresponsible things to do.

But none of them are the

most irresponsible thing.

I sec Joe, I'll be right with you, ok?

This has been sitting back there for..

That was 10 years now, wow.

Everybody thinks it's a bottle of fancy

bourbon or something like that, but..

That'd be wrong. Nope, nope.

This is actually the most

illegal thing in this bar.

You know, our pal, Garth.

And another buddy of mine gave it to

me for my birthday while back now.

You know, they get down in Mexico,

they're on vacation.

Still can't believe they

made it through customs.

Thanks for coming in

folks, have a good day.

Watch out.

Up until recently.. the boys and I..

We.. we had hopped in the pick up,

went to get a big bag of fireworks and..

Then we drive out to the suburbs.

We light them all up, you know,

scare the sh*t out of locak but this..

This firecracker, the biggest we ever had..

Never made the trip.

Not that we're afraid to use it,

on the contrary we just..

Thought it was so big, we wanted

to save it for a special occasion.

So we left it behind, everytime.

Then we reach the point

where we just grew up.

Stop screwing around like that at night.

And our friend here, make it's way

the shelf back there, and it waited.

Year after year, for it's big moment.

Joe you might want to get out the way.

- Oscar, Oscar..

- What you want to do?

- What are you doing?

- No, no, no, no.

F***, go!

[FIRECRACKERS CRACKLING]

Let's get out of here.

How about that huh?

You are a crazy person! Come on gloria.

I just did the most the irresponsible

thing to do in this bar.

You wanna out?

Even so, Gloria is not

gonna leave with you.

Of course she is, come on.

Gloria.

I am leaving here in midday tomorrow,

please come with me.

Gloria, I didn't have a meeting.

I came here for you. I lied, sorry.

Please.

What a schmuck.

Jesus!

That's..

I'm sorry about that.

Didn't mean to scare you.

Wait.. How did you even get in here?

Your parents gave my

parents a copy years ago.

- Okay, just.. Leave the keys and get out.

- Well sit down.

Take it easy.

Get out, get out or I'll call the cops.

I won't.

Thank you.

Now I uh..

Came in here because of

what your boyfriend said.

Ex boyfriend.

Whatever.

The whole thing about,

you're going back with him.

Thought you might be thinking about him.

Just here to make sure he'd call.

Look if you want to, please go ahead,

get some sleep, I'll be right here.

You've lost your mind.

You know that right?

What matters now is that

you don't lose yours.

What's wrong?

You hate yourself.

What?

I used to think it was something else.

That you want me to be yours.

That you wanted to posses me,

but no this is so much simple than that.

You hate yourself.

What are you talking about?

You can't stand that

your life feel so small.

It's that simple.

And sad.

Tim, listen I can't explain now,

but I'm coming with you.

Okay? Bye.

[SIRINE]

Um..

No!

God!

No!

Don't! No! Hey!

No! No! Stop it!

Sh*t.

Hey.

You can go home if you want.

Go back to New York.

Totally your call.

But every morning you're not here.

This will happen.

No, no, no..

[SCREAMING]

No, no..

Gloria, what the f*** is wrong with you?

What is going on?

- Okay I'm sorry.

- Where are you?

I didn't know where you were,

what happen to you.

I know, I couldn't tell you before now,

but it's cause I'm on plane.

- On a plane?

- Yeah, I had to flight somewhere.

What do you mean somewhere?

Well.. Uh..

Are you.. Are you f***ing with me?

Is this a joke?

No, listen I just want to

let you know that I'm okay.

And, I.. I'm really..

I'm very sorry that I.. Stood you up.
