Divorce Invitation Page #4

face, all that's from the neck up,

- I'm not supposed to digest it.

- Nice try.

I'm gonna track her down

in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I think her comment was a test.

She purposely said it loud

enough so that we would hear it.

No.

Yeah. Look, these big-player types,

to them, this is all just a game.

Why else would they go and

do business on a golf course?

- Can you help me?

- I'm at a loss.

So let's play it.

Let's play their game.

I'm gonna go to the resort and

blend in with the millionaire crowd.

No offense, dude, but that

takes some major camouflage.

Just let me worry about that, okay?

Okay, look, man. A last-minute plane ticket,

though? A five-star executive suite?

Plus, your blending in would cost more

than we all can afford to put together.

So, sorry to be a prick, but we all

know how your financial adventures

- turned out in the past.

- Look, that was a long time ago, okay?

- I have learned from those mistakes.

- I'm not so sure.

Okay. What have we got to lose,

other than our own shirts?

- Let's see if he can pull this off.

- Where we gonna get the seed money?

What, are we gonna ask the Lipnicks?

We can't gamble on their money.

We haven't made them any money.

It's ridiculous.

Okay. You know what? Let's just eat.

Come on. I've been waiting

all day to see you try this.

- Pickle first?

- Nope.

- What's this?

- Open it.

It's our new visa.

Might as well break it in.

What if the deal doesn't go through?

At least I'll have a happy husband.

Happy he at least gave it a try.

I love you.

- Go get 'em, tiger.

- Come here.

Here we go.

- Thank you, my good man.

- And we never met.

Fair enough.

You guys have room for one more?

Hi.

Sorry! Just a little...

little tournament stress.

I'm just gonna...

I'm just gonna go again.

Yeah.

Relax.

Relax. Eyes on the ball.

Head down. Feet shoulder-width apart.

Eyes on the ball.

Keep your head down.

Eyes on the ball. Mind on the ball.

You are still the same lousy shooter

after all this time. Nothing's changed.

What? That's what my friends

used to call me back in high...

I'm Alex Birch. Nice to make

your acquaintance again.

Ms. Birch. Nice to meet you.

Again?

Alex?

Alex Roverson?

It's Alex Birch now...

my married name.

No way!

Oh, my god! How are you? Oh!

You haven't changed much.

Come on. At least say I

lost some of my baby fat.

Well, yeah, of course. I mean...

You looked great in high school, but...

You look even better now.

Thanks. You look good, too...

Especially on that first tee.

So, how is it that you ended up

in L.A. franchising restaurants?

I was in New York for seven

years playing the market.

I did okay, but then, like everyone else,

when the market crashed, I lost my shirt,

so I decided to move to L.A.

and start fresh.

My buddy Scott Askey...

you remember Scotty?

Yeah, he... he decided to put me

up until I could get back on my feet.

Guess Scotty and I share something...

getting you back on your feet.

It's funny how we ended

up being neighbors again.

Well, I live in the Fairfax district.

I'm guessing you're more of

a Beverly Hills, Malibu girl.

So, Alex Birch now?

Wow. That is just...

Is your husband here with you?

My ex-husband.

Frankly, I don't know where he is.

I don't like the word "divorce,"

so I like to refer to myself

as a free bird. And you?

Married. Four months ago.

Congrats. Is she here?

I'd love to meet her.

No. I came alone. This is

a business trip, after all.

Though, given our history, I don't

know if this is such a good idea.

You still haven't forgiven me.

Look, maybe I can

make it up to you now.

Join me for dinner. I will order

something extra special...

Corn dogs with a side

of Mac and cheese.

You remember that?

You'd be surprised by

what else I remember.

I was gonna go to a club tonight to see

some jazz. You want to come with me?

Yes.

Who says no to jazz?

So...

How many do you want?

What?

How many franchise

branches do you want?

Well, our initial roll-out plan

was to have 25 in 5 years.

How about 50 in 3 years?

What would be the terms?

If you can stay, we can work out

the details over the next few days.

I don't know what to say.

You could say no.

Who told you to change partners?

Alex, you're supposed to be

with Steve, Mike with Kimberly.

- And no head on chest.

- But she asked my permission.

- You could say no.

- Why would I? I love her.

Hey, babe.

Hi! What's going on?

It's Scott and Dylan.

- We've been trying to reach you.

- What's up, man?

Yeah. I'm good. Everything's good here.

Just... working on the deal.

You sound awful.

Are you getting enough sleep?

Not really. Wheelin' and

dealin' is... it is hard work.

Okay. Wheelin' and dealin'. Listen...

I got a couple questions, man,

I wanted to go over with you before

the meeting. What time is the meeting?

It's finished.

Damn it! Mike, why didn't you call me

before you screwed everything up, man?

Dude, chill out, okay?

I nailed it. Guess what...

we got 50 branches.

We got 50 branches?

All right, what's the catch, Mike?

No catch. I just got to stay here for a

couple more days and finalize the details.

That's unbelievable! That's fanta...

How did you talk her into that?

I will tell you all about

that when I get back.

- When are you back?

- When are you coming back? I miss you.

Okay, yeah, I miss you, too.

I got to go.

There is a meeting. It is urgent, okay?

I'll talk to you later. Bye.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

- We did it.

- Good morning, lazy bum.

- Morning.

- Who was that? The wife?

- No.

Yeah. It... it was, and Scotty.

Come on. Let's beat

everyone to the links.

I'm not exactly a match for you.

I mean, I'm a beginner at this.

Remember when you

taught me how to dance?

I used to trip all over the floor?

Well, it's payback time.

Come on. Go... get dressed.

Let's go drink.

- Come on!

- Let's see what you've got.

All right, here we go.

That's one. That's one!

- Yeah!

- Let's go!

Come on!

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

In your face! Come on.

You ready? Here we go.

Here we go!

Yeah!

One more! One more!

One more! One more!

Go, go, go, go, go,

go, go, go, go, go!

If your flight was at 3 o'clock I

could've dropped you off at the airport.

I know, I know. You got to run.

Tournament's about to start.

If you wait until Monday,

we could go together.

I have to report back to

my boss before I get fired.

I understand.

I really enjoyed our time together.

Me too. I'll see you in L.A.?

- Dude, you look like sh*t.

- Nice to see you, too.

- Did you get the L.O.I. Signed?

- Not yet.

Bro, you know how iffy these deals can be.

You said you had it in the bag.

Dude, relax. The deal is locked in.

What makes you so sure?

I found a shortcut.

You know their C.E.O., Alex Birch?

Her maiden name is Alex Roverson.

Alex... Alex Roverson?

The prom queen who went

missing Alex Roverson?

You got to be kidding me. So, why

didn't you get the L.O.I. signed again?

Alex is coming to the restaurant on Friday.
