Dealin' with Idiots Page #4
Hello sir!
[rings bell twice]
You don't have to do that
'cause I already did it.
Stay back in the back!
Picking up my package.
Okay, what's your name,
sir?
We usually put the... the
orders. Oh, that's...
Is that it? Is that you?
That's not him. Take this
back. Did you call earlier?
Yes I did.
Uh-huh. Who did you
speak to?
Jimbo.
Well, that's me!
[both laugh]
- Good to meet ya.
- Hey.
- And I spoke to you?
- Yes.
Hey!
[paper crinkling]
- Great.
- Right there!
I even signed it.
Oh, there's no coupon
allowed with this. Sorry.
I don't have one
to give you.
Because you ordered that
two weeks ago...
And the coupon
starts today,
but you can't use it
'til tomorrow.
Oh.
Come in tomorrow and get
the same job for half price.
Thank you.
Thank you!
[door opens and
activates chimes]
Beef goulash.
It's my lunch.
I'm gonna have it
as soon as you're,
as soon as you're done.
Well don't let me keep you.
Well, it's okay. It's just
sitting here.
I don't leave it in back
because, uh...
some of my food
has gone missing.
A couple of cans of this,
I've found open
and half gone.
And I'm not blaming you,
Katie, and I'm not blaming Rick.
I'm not saying they did it.
That back door
doesn't lock, so...
Well, why don't you fix it?
[clicks tongue]
[exhales]
Seriously,
you wanna go there?
[both laughing]
I'm just asking you why
you don't fix it.
There's a woman involved.
First of all.
You wanna hear it now?
Yeah,
that doesn't change things.
You wanna...?
My brother Andy is a
locksmith across the street.
Nothing peeves him off
more than knowing
that that back door
doesn't lock
and I ain't letting him fix it.
And I'm not letting anyone
else fix it, either.
You wanna know why?
In high school...
than me.
I had a crush on a girl,
okay?
I'm not gonna say
her name,
and he knows it.
He went away to the navy
after high school.
He was gone for two years,
and I took this girl out...
on three dates.
And then he comes back
and within
[yelling]
two months,
they're getting married!
And I gotta do the
invitations!
And I give him a discount.
[forced laughter]
I'm sitting back here
printing up invitations,
with her name on it and
his name!
And a carnation!
That's a flower I don't care
to look at... or smell...
ever again!
So when that door broke,
when the lock broke...
He came over,
"I'll fix that for ya. "
"No thanks, Andy. "
[smacks lips]
"What? I'll fix it.
It'll take two... "
"No thanks, Andy. "
It burns him. It burns...
in his heart...
to know, that I'm not
calling on him,
to fix that door.
And I don't let anyone else
fix it, too.
I just leave it broken.
All right, I think I got
everything I need.
Keep it moving!
Uh, Coach Ted, uh,
just a moment.
How come there's
so many practices lately?
This isn't about practice.
It's about bowels.
You understand?
Bowels!
Bowels and bladders.
"bowels and bladders?"
That's what it's about. See,
kids have a certain, uh uh,
chemistry in their bodies
that allows them to hold
and build up toxins
in their bodies.
working the toxins
I'll take your word for it,
but we need more one-on-
one instruction.
So you know more than
me? Ho-ho!
You know more
about baseball
than I know
about baseball, huh?!
You don't want none of me,
all right?
I gotta go.
You know, I-I...
Work it, kids!
Well there he goes. I don't
know, is he a good coach?
Or was he being sarcastic
with me?
I just think that he's
a little bit off.
Yeah.
So it's not me?
No, it's, it's not you at all.
I wish he'd spend more
time here.
I mean, he's got the kids
here and us here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
[whispering]
Geez.
What?
She's just a...
big bowl of "Dear God. "
Wow!
That's the commissioner's
nanny, huh?
Yup. Angela.
You're obsessed,
aren't you?
I wouldn't say
the word "obsessed. "
I'm not going home
and thinking...
But I gotta tell ya,
when I'm here...
Uh-huh.
I'm thinking.
Yeah.
When she's in front of me.
You know what would
maybe be a good idea?
Why don't we ask Angela to
get some of her friends out?
Tell them we're gonna
have a little...
- Mmm-hmm.
Them against us,
or against the kids.
And tell them it's a charity
for the, for the kids,
or the veterans,
or something.
[laughing]
For the veterans?
Yeah. And tell them it's a
romp. They love that.
But anyways, if they think
it's for the kids...
Look at her, look at her.
Yeah, that's a nice looking
young lady.
But you gotta focus
on the baseball field.
Yeah, I-I'm supposed to.
Yeah.
Yeah, well...
But I like the idea of a
little, a little charity game.
Think about it. A charity
romp. And balloons...
And just a big sign that
says, "Thanks. "
So, you know,
they think they're...
You know what I'm
gonna do? Right now?
I'm gonna go down
and talk to her.
Okay. Tell 'em it's for
an outreach program.
No, I'm not, I'm not...
[laughing]
I'm not setting up
your thing.
I don't even know what an
outreach program is,
but they'll, they'll love it.
People love to...
They'll do anything.
No, I'm not setting up the
softball thing.
I'm just gonna go down
and talk to her.
I've said "hello" to her and
we've talked very little,
but I just wanna get to
know her a little better.
- All right, good.
- Okay?
- Hi Angela.
- Hi.
Ah, what a beautiful day.
It's nice.
Practice is almost over.
It's all good.
You like coming
to practice?
I do.
So do I.
- Yeah?
- Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, I do.
I do, I do, I do.
Love coming to practice.
Hey.
Hey!
- Hey, how are you?
- Hi.
Good.
Okay, let's go.
All right, it was so nice
talking to you.
Me too.
Oh, look.
Yeah?
Jack, hold up.
Come take a ride.
Take a ride in my
brand new Camry.
Is this a beaut?
I just got it.
Let's do the interview now.
I... don't know.
It's a hybrid! I just got it.
I just picked it up!
We'll ride around and
we'll glide around.
I'm all pumped up on
coffee. In the showroom,
I had two cups.
It was free. Come on.
Is it all right?
Oh! Whatever you want.
All right,
I'll meet you at home.
I'm gonna go ride
in a brand new Camry.
I am gonna clip a coupon
and order something.
[cell phone ringing]
Okay, sounds good.
I'll see you later.
Hey, you guys...
- Bye dad!
- What do you feel like?
- Bye!
- Hello.
[cell ringing]
Hello? Hold on.
Hold on!
Hello!
You know how
Bluetooth works?
Rosie's calling, I don't
know how to answer it.
and... Oh God, all right.
Let's go. We'll just drop by
the house
first for just a second. How
'bout that?
Sure, we'll drop by. This is
a beautiful car.
Okay, go ahead. Ask.
What do you wanna know?
Listen to how quiet.
