"I don't think so,"

or "I'm not sure,"

or we close the door in your face,

that means, "No."

Why can't you get that?

- Well, it...

- Shut up! Okay.

Let me be even more clear

with you, Nathan.

We don't like you.

Is that clear enough for you?

You're dull. You talk too much.

You never listen.

You're always in our yard.

I don't know what the hell

you're barbecuing over there,

but it stinks.

You lay out in your front yard

and listen to your car radio!

You are the worst neighbor

in the world.

We don't like you. Is that clear enough

for you, Nathan? Is that clear?

Shut up!

Nathan?

Nathan? Nathan?

(CHURCH ORGAN PLAYING)

(CHATTERING)

- Hi.

- Hi.

Are you okay?

I think I might have killed him, Joel.

The last thing he heard was me

yelling at him to shut up.

Well, he did talk a lot.

Yeah. He was going on and on.

I finally lost it.

I'm sure it wasn't your fault.

Probably just a coincidence, you know.

I don't know. I just...

I still feel really guilty about it.

I actually told Leslie I would go

to that Rotary Club dinner tonight.

She said Nathan

would have wanted it that way.

I said I'd go to that, too.

Oh.

So, who was this woman that you

wanted to have the affair with, anyway?

She was just some criminal drifter.

It wasn't that great.

You know, I thought that she was

really into food flavoring and...

- Really?

- Yeah, I should have known better.

Nobody's into food flavoring.

Well, I don't know.

I mean, you guys sell a lot of that stuff.

People are into it.

You should know, by the way,

I hired Brad.

Yeah, I know. You told me that,

remember? The whole...

No, sorry,

not for the sex thing or the pool.

I mean that I hired him for the factory.

Why? He's a total moron.

Yeah, I know.

This is going to sound kind of weird,

but I felt sorry for him.

Yeah. So did I.

Well, my car's over here, so,

I guess I'll see you at the Rotary Club?

Yeah, I'll see you there.

Suzie?

Should we maybe just take one car?

Yeah. We probably should.

Yeah.

I thought that was

a surprisingly tasteful funeral.

JOEL:
Yes, it was. You know, when

I was looking down on him, I thought,

"This might be the longest

I've ever seen him with his mouth shut."

SUZIE:
Yeah. I didn't expect

that many mourners.

There were a lot of people there.

JOEL:
Yeah.

(SINGING) You have been

a friend of mine, rainy day woman

That woman of mine, she ain't happy

Till she finds something wrong

and someone to blame

If it ain't one thing,

it's another one on the way

(PHONE RINGING)

ON ANSWERING MACHINE:

Hey. You've reached Cindy.

I'm not here, so leave a message.

Where the hell is she?

How long does it take to get some

goddamned cigarettes around here?

VALET:
Here you are, sir.

JOE:
What the f***?

Oh, rainy day woman

I've never seem to see you for

the good times or the sunshine

You have been a friend of mine,

rainy day woman
