I don't think so. I mean,

I think you look cool too.

You kinda have more like...

Kinda like... a hit man.

Yeah. Yeah!

Well, I mean, it's incredible

for me to be back here.

Sit down. Just take a seat.

Sit down.

Did you see...

Have you seen the,

uh, wonderful...

Mrs. Lisa Marie rose?

No.

Do you know her at all?

Do you know any of her work?

No, I don't... I don't think I

do, it's hard to... hard to...

- Get a read.

- Yeah, I know, I know.

I met her at a convention.

Uh-huh, yeah, I see.

She was like a really

f***ing cool chick.

Like, you would have dug her.

- Like, I know your type.

- Uh-huh.

- I definitely know your type.

- Yeah.

And you would have

f***ing been all over that.

Because not only does she have

the curves and the body,

but she's got the mind.

- And that's what I know...

- That's me.

That's what I know you get into.

I like it! I mean, I think

it's cool that she's a thinker

as well as a doer, but,

I was really impressed

with how she...

Conducted herself, and just

her philosophies and everything.

She seemed like she could

be doing other things.

I mean, not that I want her to be

doing anything else but that, but...

Do you masturbate still, or...

- I actually wanted to ask you...

- If you do,

she's somebody you're gonna

want to look up her stuff.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- It's really good.

Okay. Well, maybe I will.

Listen, I wanted to ask you, I've got

all this stuff going on over at Nona's.

And I have to get over

to the funeral home, um...

I got to pick up, you know,

these ashes. Would you mind

giving me a ride?

That would be...

- No, of course not.

- Really?

Yeah, I need to switch gears

right now.

I would be honored

to do that for you.

Okay. Thank you very much.

- I mean, of course.

- That's a big help.

- Of course.

- Okay.

I will feel honored.

You look...

I'm just so...

- Yeah, you're excited.

- Yeah!

- And I am too.

- Yeah!

I feel this is like...

What!

Do you do social media at all?

- Not really.

- No?

Because I found a guy, uh,

Pete Latang, from Wyoming.

Okay.

And I thought it was you,

so I was following for a while,

and he had like

a family and stuff.

You know, I kept

private messaging him,

and eventually he told me to, you know,

f*** off, 'cause it wasn't who... you know,

I wasn't who he thought it was.

But I thought maybe it was still you,

and you just didn't wanna talk to me.

Oh, really?

- Yeah, was it you?

- Uh, yeah, no.

- That wasn't you?

- It wasn't me.

No, I didn't think it was.

- 'Cause I've never been to Wyoming...

- I dint think so.

Just for a little while I was

like, "hey, this is kinda cool."

I'm watching Pete,

and his two boys,

and his family and everything.

Watching the family, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. And you guys had

summers at a lake, I don't know

if it was in Wyoming,

wherever it was,

but you were, really, from what

I could gather, a good dad.

Yeah, you were

good to those kids.

So, you wanna...

Do you want me to wait

in the car? Or actually...

I'd like to come in actually.

Oh, yeah, no, no.

That's really sweet.

I kind of got to take my time

there with her.

All right.

But, I really...

I want to thank you, man.

This is like... You really

got me out of a pinch. So,

I think I'm probably just going to head in.

I got a bunch of stuff, I got to get going.

Would you mind if I actually

borrow a couple bucks?

That's the one thing 'cause

I'm just in this, like, spot.

And then, I'll probably just

get my errands done, and then

- we could hook up and do...

- I thought...

whatever. I'd be in to...

- Yeah, like maybe...

- I just thought

we were going to,

like, hang out.

Like, I thought, like, we'd go

see some places, see some faces,

just kinda like cruise a bit.

Yeah, and I'd love to do that.

I just can't do it now, so,

that's why I'm saying, maybe,

like, later, we could...

Okay.

All right. It's fine. I just thought

when you came over to my house...

It was to hang out.

I didn't realize you were

just coming over because

you needed a ride or you needed

to borrow money.

That's not...

- Which is fine.

- No, no. That's not what I was...

You know I help whoever

needs help, so that's fine.

But I just thought it's because

you wanted to hang out with me.

Right! Yeah! I mean, um...

All right. Well, let's do that.

Let me go get this

and then, um...

It just makes the more sense for

us to just kinda keep hanging.

Right.

Pete.

- Hey.

- What?

I can't do this.

- What do you mean?

- I can't do this.

- What? -I can't stay in this

car by myself right now.

Donald, I'm gonna be

like five minutes, man.

This is so tough for me too.

For me, and to have some

closure to this whole thing,

I feel like I'd be going crazy

sitting in there by myself.

I feel like I need this for me.

You want to come in?

I, uh... please.

I just know myself.

And bad things would happen if I

was left in that Van by myself.

Oh, you know what

I just thought of?

Do you remember, uh, when...

Donnie, you have to be quiet

in here, please.

All I'm asking...

Yeah, but can you just

tell me in the car, please?

No, I just want

to tell you right now.

- Go, sit back down.

- No, listen, just quickly.

Do you remember when I wanted

to pull a prank on you,

and I snuck into Nona's room

when she was out?

And I went through

her underwear drawer,

and I remember her door opened

up and I thought it was you,

but it was actually, uh, Nona.

And she f***ing freaked out

on me, you remember that?

That was crazy. Do you think

she saw anything or...

Because I remember just being,

like really embarrassed.

And I didn't want to go back to

your house, for like two weeks.

'Cause I never knew. Did she ever

mention anything about seeing my penis,

or anything like that?

No, she didn't. She didn't

mention it to me, so...

I mean...

I had never heard Nona swear,

and I, I...

She might have that day, and...

You know, if I'm going to

be honest I wouldn't blame her.

She was livid,

and she should be.

'Cause I shouldn't have

been doing that.

Oh.

- Just here.

- So I checked off here.

- Yup. Just sign right here.

- Okay.

And then, uh, initial here.

Okay.

That'd be great.

- Great.

- Okay.

Here's the urn, and...

Here's a...

Complimentary bag.

Ooh, nice!

- Thank you very much.

- We'll take that.

Lately I've been really into...

Just building, like...

Just di, d-i-i...

D-y-i stuff.

You ever do any of that, DYI?

No.

What do you do in Manhattan?

- Pete?

- What?

What do you do there?

I'm in finance.

What is that?

Banking.

- Oh, sh*t! Really?

- I'm in a bank, yeah.

- So you deal with like, f***ing

serious cash and sh*t? -Sometimes.

Oh, nice, man, nice.

Do you have access to, like, the

vaults and everything like that?

Some of them.

Whoa, f***, we should, uh...

We should talk about

f***ing planning something.

- Like what?

- Like a f***ing job.

We'll f***ing rob it.

- Yeah, no.
