Drinking Buddies Page #4

Let me give you this.

Oh, thanks.

You don't...

I don't need it if...

No, it's fine, I made a...

It's fine.

Yeah.

Are you gonna do that

the whole time?

I might, yeah.

I might.

I want to see where you are.

Good part.

Do you like it?

I do.

Remember, jacks and jokers.

Okay.

No!

'Cause if you hit

accidentally,

you have to get punished for it.

No!

Ah, damn it. Oh, f***!

That's a seven!

All right,

so you get all those,

and I get punished.

I decide.

That's right.

When we started,

you said seven.

Faster, faster, faster.

Faster, faster. Faster!

Ah!

[SIGHS]

Which one do you want to do?

You want to deal,

or you want to slap?

I want you to deal.

No, I want you to deal.

Okay.

Five seconds on the deal.

I'll do the first three.

You do the last one.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, ready?

Do you feel good?

Yeah, I'm ready.

So is that what you choose

to do?

Yes.

Then do this for the cameras.

Oh.

There's a camera above us

at all times,

so you go like this,

and if you want to... okay.

If you want to hit,

you go like this.

And then you clear your hands

to make sure

you're not stealing chips.

Shouldn't you hit

on the 14?

No, 'cause you have

to think about what I'm playing.

Not against a three.

Okay.

So what would you like to do,

ma'am?

I'll stay.

That's a very smart stay.

That's a bad card for you.

Now I have an eight.

Now I have an 11.

Now I have an 18.

You lost that hand, that's...

hey!

Are we being...

Sorry.

Are we being way too loud?

No, no.

No, you guys are fine.

I was just coming to hang out.

Are you saying

we're totally fine,

but we're being

way too loud?

No, no, he's asleep.

He got me drunk...

Oh.

I'm sorry.

And I lost so badly.

And she's a total lightweight.

Here, drink this.

And then he was beating me up.

Are you drinking or...

I'll get my own.

Deal.

Okay, you're up $100.

What would you like to do?

Do you guys need anything?

Yeah, let's have another.

Let's just get a couple

on the table.

Okay.

Okay, so you lost that hand.

You're down 100 bucks.

She saw me lose.

It's fine.

Okay.

She lost

a lot of money earlier.

All right.

Why are you so good

at blackjack?

'Cause when I was younger,

I used to work on

the riverboats in the casinos.

What?

Yeah, my family,

we all played cards growing up.

So when I was, like,

19 or 20 or whatever,

my buddy got me a job,

or an interview,

with this Chinese guy

who ran a company

called "Network Management. "

[LAUGHS]

Which is just, like,

a fake company.

And then I got the job.

It was an hourly wage.

And he sent me on the boats

with 10,000 bucks

for eight-hour shifts.

I just played, you know,

with the company's money.

So I was just a worker,

but my game was,

you know, cards.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

Should we go have a smoke?

You want to sit outside?

Okay.

You want to?

Yeah.

I don't want to wake her up.

Here, I'll grab that.

That's the problem

with heartbreak,

is that to you,

it's like an atomic bomb,

and to the world,

it's just really clich,

because, in the end,

we all have the same experience.

But it's just you and me.

I was madly,

madly in love with him,

and we were total soul mates

and totally in love.

And then he said,

"I think maybe

we should just not. "

I think he said something

along the lines of,

"I think we should, uh"...

and he's not, like,

a football player,

so this is a weird thing

for him to say...

"I think we should take a knee

on this romance stuff. "

What does that mean?

That's so lame.

I actually

had to ask somebody.

I was like,

"Is 'take a knee' a good thing?"

No.

No.

No.

You've obviously

got a lot of love,

so that's there.

Some people don't.

Some people are snakes.

And you're fun.

And if Chris is lucky...

You know,

you have babies

and do all that good stuff

and live in this house

or a house equivalent to this.

Yeah, you guys could come over

and play bridge.

F***in' pass.

[BOTH LAUGH]

By the way, I'm not doing

more double dates, either.

This was fun.

You love it.

No, I'm having a good time.

You know what I want to do,

Kate?

Mm?

If you don't want to do it,

this is your chance to get out.

Okay.

I want to make a huge fire.

I'm good at making fires.

I can do it.

And we'll sit by the fire

and relax on the beach.

And fall asleep

on the f***ing sand.

And if we don't fall

asleep...

because there's a good chance

it's too uncomfortable

to fall asleep...

we'll put the fire out,

and we'll go to bed.

Okay.

Do you want to do that?

Yes.

Does that sound fun to you?

Yes.

Are you just saying that?

Do you really think

it sounds fun?

I think it sounds really fun.

Are you just saying that,

or do you really think

it sounds fun?

I think it sounds really fun.

Okay, then we'll do that.

What about

if we don't fall asleep

and we stay up all night?

Are you okay with that?

Yeah, I think that's only,

like, four hours away anyway.

That's fine.

That's pretty great.

That's pretty great.

That's pretty great.

I have an idea.

Let's go swimming.

Why not?

'Cause it's 2:
00 or 3:00

in the morning.

We got a great fire

and a six pack of beer.

So we can go into the water

and come back and get warm.

Let's go.

I'm gonna go in.

Don't.

I'm gonna go in.

Don't!

Why not?

Kate, just don't do this.

Why not?

No, don't go in the water.

Why not?

Last chance.

Kate, stop it.

Last chance.

Come swimming with me.

Come on! Please?

[GIGGLES]

You're crazy!

[GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC]

Lately I notice

How things start falling

Letters and rain and mood

are the same

Think I read it somewhere

And there is a time

in between

Here's an image of

Reaching,

reaching up above

Psychotic rain

September...

Got it?

I just got one.

I could... this is us.

I got it.

Oh, jeez, it's a hassle.

You got it?

Yeah, I got it.

Hey, listen, if you guys ever

need anything, give me a call.

Really fun.

Yeah. So fun.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So much.

So great.

Sleep well, guys.

See you later.

You have keys?

Yes.

Hey.

Do you want me to drive?

No,

I kind of need to talk to you.

Um...

Do you want to go...

is there some place...

Where do you want to go?

Home.

Can we just go home?

I'm really tired. I'm...

Yeah, okay. All right.

Maybe we'll just drive a bit.

[ENGINE TURNS OVER]

All right,

I hope you pussies

are up

for some drinking tonight!

Look at this entrance.

No one's going home

to their significant other,

because I no longer have one.

That's right!

The shackles are off.

I'm free.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you.

Thank you.

So anyway,

get yourselves prepared.

Do what you need to do.

Cancel on your wives,

and, um,

I'll see you pussies tonight.

Okay.

All right?

Yeah.

Bye.

Sorry.

[WHISTLING]

Hey.

[GASPS]

What?

For you.

Is that for me?

Yes, the candle fell in.

Thanks, Gene.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Thanks, guys.

To your new life.

To your freedom.

Yes.

It's a personality thing.

I would advise someone
