at least it's over quick.

- Well, I will definitely

keep that in mind.

Hey.

- Hey.

- And how are you on

this fine evening?

- Good.

- Usual?

- Sure, thanks.

What?

- Nothing.

- How is everything?

- What?

- Would you like another one?

- No, thanks.

What?

- Nothing.

- Daisy?

- Hey.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm just grabbing a drink.

- Are you living out here now?

- Yeah, you too I guess?

- Yeah, I am doing financing.

It's like whatever but you

know, money's pretty sick.

How are you?

What have you been up to?

- I'm kinda figuring it out.

- Cool, well, do you

want to come join us?

- Yeah, thanks but I

was just on my way out.

- Well, you know what, we

definitely got to hook up,

get a drink sometime.

- Okay, yeah, sure.

- Cool.

- Gosh.

I don't know about you

mister but I am whooped.

Hello?

- What?

- Wow, someone's in a mood.

That's okay.

You know what I always say,

tomorrow is another day.

- Yeah, no sh*t.

- You know what, go

f*** yourself, okay?

F*** off!

F***.

- Yeah, hi.

- Hi.

- Cool light, is it...

- what are you doing here?

- I have no idea.

Yeah, so, anyway, this

is weird so I am gonna...

- do you want to come in?

- Yeah, sure.

You play?

- A little, yeah.

So, why are you here?

- I just, you know,

needed to get out of

the house, you know.

- Well, I was actually

just on my way out

to get something to eat, so.

- Oh, I'm sorry, yes.

So, sorry, I didn't

mean to bother you

and I hope I didn't

freak you out.

- You can come if you want.

- Really?

- If you want.

- Okay.

So, are we walking?

So, you're a musician?

- What?

- The guitar.

- No, just a hobby.

- Oh, okay.

So what do you do?

- I'm kinda in between

things right now.

- Well, I am envious.

- Of what?

- Not working, I guess.

- Then quit your job.

- Yeah, not really that simple.

- Well, bartending seems like

it's probably pretty fun.

- I don't know.

It's okay, I guess.

I mean, it pays the bills.

Actually, that's bullshit.

No, I hate it.

I really f***ing hate it.

- So, why don't you do

something else then?

- I have no idea.

- Wow, that's

f***ing depressing.

- Isn't your place

back this way?

- Yeah.

- So, where are we going?

- I don't know.

What, I like to walk.

I could have saved him.

- Sorry, what?

- Nothing.

- Hey, are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Can I ask you a favor?

- What?

- Tell me something about you.

- No, that's stupid.

- Come on.

Anything.

Where you were born?

Your first car, anything.

- No.

Why?

- Because I wanna know

something about you.

Even if it's completely

insignificant.

Come on.

Anything.

It doesn't have to be important.

- I'm an ass.

- Yeah, me too.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

How did you get here?

- I walked.

What?

I told you I like to walk.

- Okay.

Where are you walking to?

- Just around.

- Well, do you

want some company?

- I guess.

I'm not having sex with you.

- Excuse me?

- You heard me.

- Okay.

- I'm serious, I'm not

interested in that.

Like

at all.

- Alright, yeah.

I get it, okay?

So, who's the guy

from the other night?

- What guy?

- The guy from the bar.

- Oh.

Nobody.

Just somebody I

went to school with.

- Alright.

So, where did you go to school?

What?

Did you go to

Harvard or something?

Seriously, Harvard?

- Yale.

What?

It's just a school.

- I mean, no, not really.

- Whatever.

- Why are you being

so weird about it?

- I'm not.

It's just not a big deal.

- Yeah, it actually kind of is.

I mean, it's a really good

school, you should be proud.

- Why?

I f***ing hate those people.

- Wow.

- You're such an a**hole.

- Maybe.

But I'm not an Ivy

league a**hole.

- So, how old are you anyway?

- Where is that coming from?

How old are you?

- I asked first.

Really, how old are you?

- Honestly I don't know.

- You don't know

how old you are?

- No.

- Okay, then, well, what

year where you born in?

- Do you mind if we talk

about something else?

What?

It's just not really

something I even think about.

Okay?

- Okay.

- I hope you're

enjoying yourself.

- What?

It's just a little

weird, that's all.

- You are really one to talk.

So, you want a ride home?

- No, I'm okay.

- Okay.

- Are you working tonight?

- Unfortunately.

- Okay.

Maybe I'll drop by.

- Alright, so this

pirate walks into a bar

with a ship's wheel hanging

from the end of his pecker.

So the bartender

says to the pirate,

"hey buddy, do you know

that you have a ship's wheel

"hanging from the

end of your penis?"

So the pirate says, "I

know, it drives me nuts."

- Well, you've a

real talent, man.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah, unfortunately

it's just not for comedy.

- Gee, thanks a**hole.

- Hello.

- Hey.

- New book?

- Oh yeah.

- Just a little chicklet?

- Exactly.

- The usual?

- Sure, why not?

Thanks.

- New friend and a famous

writer nevertheless.

- Who?

- The girl, that's

Daisy Karr, right?

- I mean, her name is Daisy.

- Daisy Karr?

- I guess so.

- I'm impressed but

I've got to ask, dude,

what's somebody like

Daisy Karr doing

hanging out with a

goofball like you?

- Wait, how do

you know her name?

- Well, for one, she's famous

and two, despite my rigid

exterior, I read books.

You mean, you don't

know who she is?

Sh*t, well, her book was a

New York times best-seller

and won all kinds

of fancy awards

and if you believe all the hype

she's supposed to be some

sort of genius or something.

- Hey.

- Oh, hey.

What's up?

- Nothing, you want another one?

- No, I'm okay, thanks.

Are you around tomorrow?

- Yeah.

- Maybe go for a

walk or something.

- Yeah, sure, cool.

- Coop!

Hey, holy sh*t man.

- Hey, man.

- It has been long time.

How the f*** are you doing?

- I'm good, yeah, I'm good.

- What the hell are you up to?

- I mean, still serving drinks.

- Oh, sh*t, wow.

You've been there...

- 10 years.

What about you,

what are you doing?

- I'm actually a teacher the

last couple of years, yeah.

Yeah, I know, me

inspiring little minds.

It's f***ing scary, right?

Hey, have you ever

thought about it?

- Teaching?

Not really, no.

- Well, my school's always

looking for substitutes,

so if you're ever

interested give me a shout.

Look, I'll be honest.

Subbing sucks, okay?

The pay blows and people

treat you like sh*t

but it's a really good way

to put your foot in the door.

So, send me your resume,

I'll pass it along.

- That's nice of you, man.

I mean, hey, maybe I will.

- It was really good

to see you, you know.

- You too.

- Take care of yourself.

- Thanks.

- Hey.

- Oh, hey.

- What?

Is someone here?

- No.

- Well, can I come in?

- Yeah, yeah.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

- Okay.

Well, did you want to go

for a walk or something?

- Yeah, sure.

- What is up with you?

- Nothing, why?

So, I ran into an

old friend yesterday.

- You have friends?

- You are really
