and celebrate. I'm buying.

- Nice.

- Wow, what a victory.

That double play was

just fabulous.

- Tailor-made. Tailor-made.

- Yeah. Hey, where are we gonna go?

- Both:
Flight Club.

- Oh, boy, the Flight Club.

( Rock music playing )

Hi.

Oh, hey, Destiny. Looking good.

Love the new b*obs.

Thanks, Rodney.

J' When I was nine years old J'

J' I knew what I was gonna do J'

J' A little bass, drums, guitar,

I put on a show for you... I

We sell tires.

We're Treadline.

Oh-ho-ho. Uh-oh.

J' When all the old folks said, "This

sh*t gen' bring out the devil in you" J'

J' Rock 'n' roll... J'

- Uh-oh.

- J' It's all I want to do J'

J' Rock 'n' roll J'

J' Rock 'n' roll, it's all I want to do,

it's all I want to do... J'

Treadline!

Treadline in the house!

Good, right--

get out of the office?

- J' Rock 'n' roll... J'

- ( growling )

J' It's all I want to do,

it's all I want to do J'

J' Rock 'n' roll... J'

( panting )

Mm, baby.

Oh, Jesus.

Good morning, Lucy.

Good morning, Ed.

Rodney.

( Footsteps )

( scoffs )

God knows what

our neighbors think.

Oh, Ed and Lucy didn't seem

to mind, trust me.

You know, it's like you still think

you're in your 20s, you know?

But, honey, you're not.

So get over it and grow up.

Yeah, okay.

So, look,

obviously things got a little

out of control last night, okay?

And I'm-- all I can say is

I'm ashamed.

That's it?

I'm really--

I'm really ashamed.

Wow. Do me a favor--

keep it together for

the engagement party this weekend.

That's it.

That's all I ask.

Okay?

Wait, wait, wait.

Don't be like that.

Don't walk away like this, okay?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, okay?

It won't happen again, I promise.

And this weekend

I'll be on my best behavior.

I know, but I always let you off

so easy and you can't--

Yes. Yes, I can.

What if I run down the streets naked

professing my love for you?

Don't tempt me,

'cause I might make you do it.

- Fine, do it.

- I will.

- Okay, good. Deal.

- You don't think I will?

- I hope you do.

- I will.

I'm ready.

My father thinks I'm crazy

for marrying you.

Uh, isn't he, like,

on his fourth wife?

It's kind of like getting

marriage advice from Larry King.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

You look pretty.

Thank you.

What-- what are you wearing

under there?

( Groans )

Oh, my God.

( Liquid pouring )

Good morning, sweetheart.

How is my baby?

Hung over as sh*t, Mom,

but thanks for asking.

(sighs )

Find your own place yet?

I'm working on it.

I'm a little short on cash right now.

That's because you spend it all

on booze and strippers.

That is a pack of lies

and you know it.

What kind of a man

do you think I am?

"Just booze and strippers"-

that's outrageous. I'm offended.

'Morning.

Mike:
Hey, look who's up.

Good morning, Destiny.

Come on.

What can I get

for you, dear?

I'll take a cup of coffee, thanks.

I rest my case.

- Thank you. Oh.

- There you go.

She's much better

than the one last week.

- Yeah, Mom, this one's a keeper.

- Yeah, I know.

J' It's not the weight

that you carry on your back J'

J' It's not your last laugh J'

J' It's not your game J'

J' It's not the way that you

wear your silent now... J'

Rodney:
Destiny went back

to your house?

Mike:
She did indeed.

In fact, I think she's still there.

It's all right, though.

My mom's gonna take her shopping.

Rodney:

Oh, that sounds terrific.

You've been going there

for, what, five years?

- You know what?

- You still don't know her real name?

Here's what I do know:

She liked cuddling.

You gotta be the only guy I know

who cuddles with a stripper.

What's up with everyone here?

I don't know.

Maybe somebody got fired.

Hey, Kline, what the hell

is going on here?

You didn't hear about Farrell?

Hear about it?

Dude, we were there.

Yeah, the old man was a legend

last night.

He broke Flight Club's

all-time lap dance record.

He's dead--

heart attack.

Does everybody else know?

( Sobbing )

(thunder rumbling )

Priest:
The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall lack nothing.

He makes me lie down

in green pastures.

Even though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil.

You don't think we had anything

to do with his death, do you?

What? No.

No way.

It's not like we forced him to do

all those tequila shots.

No. He's the one who wanted

to dance with the strippers.

Yeah.

J' Oh, yeah J'

J' The b*tch wants more... J'

( crowd cheering )

It's the last memory I'm gonna have

of that crazy old bastard.

Shut the f*** up.

Priest:
...follow me all the days

of my life.

And I will dwell in the house

of the Lord...

Now that Farrell's dead,

who do you think

corporate's gonna promote?

I don't know.

Probably some real douche.

Aw, looking good, Willy.

- Give that a little polish, eh?

- Yes, sir.

Yeah, when you close.

Okay, good.

( Sighs )

Well, gentlemen,

it's a new day,

a new regime.

I guess seniority

has its perks, huh?

And now guess what time it is.

It's payback time.

See, you two have made

working here a I--

a living hell for me,

all right?

You pretty much did that yourself

by being an a**hole.

If this is about me sending

that vibrator to your mom,

I was totally drunk

at the time--

-( Rodney chuckles )

- --gone.

Yeah, he was.

I can vouch for that.

You--

you sent my mother

a vibrator?

Just a little one.

You leave my mother's vagina

out of this!

Are we done here?

I've got tires to sell.

No, we're not done, McAdams.

We have only just begun.

See, I haven't forgotten the humiliation

that you two have put me through.

What humiliation?

Are you serious? How about

that male stripper on my birthday?

J' Give me some more J'

J' Get on the floor,

come on... J'

( laughing )

All right, what about

when you put Ecstasy

in me and Kline's drinks

at the company carnival?

- How are you doing, Mr. Castro?

- Argh! Jesus!

It's not funny.

That's a felony.

That's a felony, all right?

That's a felony.

And I don't have

the lab results yet,

but I'm pretty sure

it was one of you two

who took a dump on the hood

of my car last week.

- Right on his window.

-( laughing )

Shh.

- Oh.

- Dude.

Shut the f*** up.

It's okay. It's okay.

Jesus Christ.

Whoa. Whoa.

Yeah, yeah, ha ha ha.

Laugh it up. Laugh it up,

because the fun's over,

all right?

From now on, this place is gonna be

run by my rules.

I could fire your punk asses

right now, no questions asked.

Yeah, well, then why don't you?

'Cause if this is what it's gonna be

like working for you, we're better off.

You think I'm that stupid?

- ( Both laugh )

- I fire you and you walk out of here

with great, big

severance packages.

- That sounds good to me.

- I bet it does.

Yeah, well, you can kiss that

wet dream goodbye,

'cause you're not being fired.

Instead...

you're being demoted.

Demoted?

Are you kidding?

To what? Interns?

What, are you gonna

make us janitors?

( laughs )

How about secretaries?

Yeah.

( laughs )

Who's laughing now?
