Drinking Buddies Page #5

in a reverse situation

to give you more...

Oh-oh, got 'em.

Got 'em.

Two shots of Malort.

Uh, no.

Right from the basement.

Go on.

I'm not drinking the Malort.

You're gonna have to.

It's a Chicago tradition.

You're single.

This'll erase all past mistakes.

I'm single!

It does?

Makes room for new ones.

Oh, my God!

Here we go.

It's like swallowing

a burnt condom full of gas.

Ah!

Ugh.

Look at that weird form.

Well, it's this damn heater,

you know?

I don't know.

Uh-oh.

There she is.

Up top.

Hey!

Aw.

Thanks.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Crazy.

No, it's good, though.

You sure?

Yeah. It's... I'm young,

you know?

Of course you're young.

Don't hold me down.

No, yeah.

Can't hold me back.

Hey, come outside with me.

Let's have a cigarette

and talk.

No.

I'm gonna see you inside.

I'm gonna play games.

Hey, get out here.

Let's have one cigarette.

No!

I want to hear what happened.

Come back soon.

You're the prettiest girl

at work.

I'm the only girl at work.

Still.

You still are the prettiest.

You could have been

the ugliest girl at work

and still been the only one.

You're not.

True, true.

I've been ten minutes out

since I got here.

I had one of these,

and then I said,

"I'm gonna have one of those,"

and then here I am.

Yeah, it's hard

once it starts going in.

I don't know what I am.

Four or five in?

You're five in?

I might've.

Oh.

But I had a turkey burger

earlier, so...

You're really

keeping it together.

Yeah, I'm a quiet drunk.

You're right!

Oh, my God!

I know.

What?

Let it sink in, 'cause

I've been thinking about it for,

like, an hour and a half.

It's really our bottom half.

That's right.

Top half, I win for sure.

Yeah. I'm gonna leave.

I like how wear...

we are, right?

The same everything.

Guys? I'm gonna go.

Gene, good night.

Always a pleasure.

Hey, good night.

I'll see you guys tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Bye, Gene.

And he wears it every time

we all get together.

No, 'cause

it's a conversation starter!

We wouldn't have jobs

if it wasn't for Gene.

I respect Gene.

I respect Gene,

and I respect your jean choice.

Because they're the same

as mine.

Yeah, because

they're the same as yours.

Yeah. It's cool.

Hey, I'm gonna take off.

Want a ride?

Luke. Luke. Luke.

Luke, look at our legs.

Look at all how...

It looks like the same person!

She's melted.

She's melting in her shoes.

Yeah,

we wear the same clothes!

Would you like a ride home?

I'm gonna go.

I'm happy

to put your bike in my car.

No, you can't go.

I'm gonna give you a ride.

Let's go.

Lock the doors.

Come on. Let's go.

Why? No, come on.

She's good, man.

She's good.

I'm not talking to you,

dude.

But you know she's good.

She's fine. She'll get home.

Luke...

Stay.

Does he say that

in Star Wars?

[LAUGHS]

Kate, you want a ride home?

Nah, I'm good.

Okay.

Boo.

But wait,

I need to take a photo.

Instagram?

You gonna Instagram it?

I'm gonna mentally Instagram.

Okay.

In the future,

you can do that.

That's true.

You home?

Hey.

Hey, where are ya?

I'm in here.

Hey, baby.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Just working.

Can you bring me home

a shipping crate from work?

I was gonna put it on its side,

then put this in,

and then, like, mount it...

Sure.

On the wall.

That's easy enough.

How many you want?

Just one.

Okay.

I'm gonna get a beer.

You want anything

from the kitchen?

No, thank you.

Nothing?

I'm okay.

Okay.

Thank you, baby.

Okay.

Hey, you want to hear

something crazy?

Yeah.

Um, Kate broke up with Chris.

Yeah,

broke his heart or something.

What, today?

All... I don't know.

I think last night

or early this morning.

I mean, she literally

walked in this morning...

you know,

you know how much I like Kate,

but it's the thing about her

that's annoying,

where you're like...

You know, she came in, literally

going like, "I'm free!"

That's why everybody

went out drinking tonight.

She had, like,

a party tonight

about being free from Chris.

And I like Chris.

Yeah.

Who knows.

Um...

Do you mind if I go watch TV?

I feel, like, emotionally...

No, that's fine.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do you care?

No, I'm just gonna...

Keep doing this?

Mm-hmm.

You want to go to bed

in, like, 45 minutes?

Okay.

Good.

Hey, babe?

Did I tell you,

I think I might actually go

to Costa Rica?

No, you didn't.

Yeah.

I thought

you didn't want to go.

No, I didn't.

Yeah, I just thought it was

gonna be kind of like a bummer,

like, trying

to re-create college,

but I was, like,

texting with Kelly,

and the more

I thought about it,

I just, like... I think

I'll be sad if I don't go.

Fun.

How long are you gonna go?

Just, like, a week.

Wow.

Is that okay?

Yeah, I just thought

you didn't want to go.

Okay.

But I'm not, like,

putting you out?

No.

Okay.

Hey, babe, um...

Can I bring something up?

But you have to promise

not to get mad.

Jill, are you kidding me?

Uh...

No, it's not... it's not bad.

Okay, what?

It's not... no.

I just feel like...

Please.

Okay.

If we want to get married...

Which we do.

Uh, I think...

it is in our best interest

to reopen that...

Continue having

great relationship.

I just, uh...

I would love to reopen the floor

for that conversation.

Absolutely.

I think the last time

we talked about it

is where we still kind of

stand... at least for me...

that we are gonna get married.

We just have to find

the right time

when we're not

as slammed to figure it all out.

Yeah.

'Cause figuring it out's

kind of the boring part.

Totally. Um...

Yeah, figuring it out

is the boring part.

Um...

No, I just don't want to, like,

be that couple that's like,

"Yeah, yeah, yeah,

we're getting married. "

Uh, yeah.

I just would like to have

a conversation about it.

Okay.

We don't have to do it

right now.

Great. Great.

All right.

Can we not do... honestly,

I feel brain-dead.

No, no, no, it's...

I'm tired.

But I do feel the same way

that I feel.

Like, you know where I'm at.

Okay.

Do you know where I'm at?

Yeah, but I feel...

but what I'm saying is,

that I think that...

If it just feels like

it's gonna happen...

Right.

We're never gonna

actually do it.

Right.

Um, look at that.

That was...

Look at that.

That's it.

That's everything.

That's the whole convo.

Are you upset with me at all?

Be honest.

No.

Okay.

Are you upset with me?

Like, I...

No.

I don't want to be the...

And I do want to get married,

and I do want to do it.

It's just... I feel like

there's gonna be the right time

to get into it,

'cause it's gonna be

so much planning and work.

It is.

You're right.

And I think the right moment

will present itself...

if we continue to have these

talks to get us there.

Awesome. Awesome.

Good?

We're so connected.

I feel like

you're reading my mind.

Really?

How connected are we?

[BOTH LAUGH]

She's not wasting any time.

Yeah, well...

I'm kind of... I feel bad

that I know, to be honest.
