Great job. That was very informative.

-Oh, thank you. -Very informative.

Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot.

We're really looking forward to working with you guys.

How'd we do?

Great.

That is one dead dragon.

Thank God.

I hate to think that we circled the wagons for nothing.

No. We did great.

You...You did great.

Thank you for coming in early this morning.

-You saved the day. -Hey!

Mr. Harrison wanted me to have Marvin come to your office

as soon as the presentation was over,

but I can't locate him.

Marvin's gone.

He is?

He won't be coming back.

Do,

that's all for right now, okay?

More.

There you go.

Today that good, huh?

It has been quite a run, kid.

Let me tell you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I would keep that bottle handy.

You're gonna drink that right in front of me, aren't you?

I'm drinking this for you, baby.

I'm removing temptation

by selflessly using up the forbidden fluid...

Basically sacrificing my own body to save yours.

Oh. My hero.

Yeah.

Come on.

Maybe if you're lucky, I'll let you rub my feet later.

Mm. Wow. You are such a giver.

Don't I know it.

Uh, kip?

Yeah.

Can you come here a second?

Sure.

Now.

Kip!

I'm coming.

Evening, Marvin.

What's on your mind?

You know goddamn well what's on my mind.

You know, you can't just come in here like that.

We could call the authorities.

So call them!

Course...You wouldn't let her do that, would you?

Oh, don't be so sure about that.

Claire. Claire!

I want what you owe me.

I don't owe you anything.

Bullshit.

What does he mean, what you owe him?

Marvin here went and got himself fired.

Got myself fired?

That's a crock.

You fired me. You did!

And after what I did for you.

-Not here. -No?

No, you're not gonna call my bluff no more?

All right! Stop it!

I have had it with this,

whatever the f*** this is.

I don't know exactly what's transpiring,

but it's late, and I'm tired,

and, Marvin, you being here at this hour uninvited

is highly inappropriate.

Kip, will you just grow a pair

and tell your friend that he needs to come back,

I'm not his friend.

Hell, you don't have any friends, do you?

You don't actually like anybody.

You just see people for what you can get from them.

You have folks.

You have folks for laughs,

folks for respect,

folks for sex,

for approval...

For worship.

But when you needed that one dirty deed done,

you didn't call any of them, did you?

Marvin.

No, no, no, no, no.

You called me,

'cause I'm the guy that's up for anything, right?

So f***ing far beneath you,

you figured I'd do anything just so you'd throw a look my way.

I'm your bottom-line guy.

What is he talking about, kip?

Baby, will you just go upstairs and wait for me?

Marvin and I, we need to hash some things out.

No, I'm not gonna wait upstairs.

Something really f***ed up is brewing between you two,

and I want to know what it is.

Claire, God damn it. This is between us! Just go up,

she...Stays.

The lovely wife.

Beautiful house.

Money in the bank.

Great job.

Casual fucks with pretty girls whenever you want.

Respect.

What?

You got everything, man.

You got it all.

And I got nothing.

Status quo, right?

See?

And you think all this is okay.

But it is not okay.

And you need to understand that.

And in order for you to understand that,

you need to lose something.

Don't!

What the f***? What the f*** have you done?!

I am giving you perspective.

I'm calling an ambulance. I'm calling a goddamn ambulance!

You sure you want to do that, kipper?

You get her to a hospital,

and all this sh*t about Abby's gonna come out in the light.

You'll lose Claire, for sure...

Not to mention your freedom, your career, your money.

You will lose everything,

guaranteed.

Kip! God, help me!

Kip.

But you let her lie there

and bleed out on their floor,

she's the only thing you lose.

You get to keep everything else.

Either way this plays out, Claire's gone,

but it's your choice what else goes with her.

Kip.

Baby, what are you waiting for?

Please help me!

Kip.

Kip.

Kip! What are you doing?!

Kip!

Please.

That's what I thought.

Kip! Please.

You selfish son of a b*tch.

Kip! Kip, please!

Please help me, kip!

-Kip! -I'm sorry.

What the hell is going on here?

No!

And this time, you're digging the f***ing hole.

I can't.

I can't.

Fine.

I'll get the f***ing thing.

What am I gonna say happened to her?

Eh, you'll think of something.

Hell, that's your forte, ain't it?

Spin and whatnot?

Now...You get to go and get on with your life, right?

Like nothing ever happened.

You think you can live with this one, too?

One thing you taught me tonight,

I can live with anything.

Kip, I'm so sorry. Before you go in,

not now.

Good morning, Marvin.

I want $50,000.

Cash.

Small bills.

When?

How soon can I get it?

Couple of days.

That'll be fine.

I'm not unreasonable.

Appreciate it.

Call me when you got it. You can drop it by the house.

Kip.

What are you doing here?

I have what you want.

Now?

Do you realize what time it is?

Yeah. I do. You want this or not?

Well, yeah.

I just thought you were gonna call first.

I'm coughing up $50,000 here.

Seems like you could be a little flexible on time of delivery.

I guess you're right.

I've got an early flight.

I want to get out of town for a while.

I scheduled that based on my convenience.

Forgive me if it infringes on yours.

Oh. No. It's no problem.

So, um, it's all in there, huh?

Yeah.

I need a beer, Marvin.

Yeah, sure.

I, uh...I could use one of those myself.

Sorry it's the maid's week off.

Plumber, too.

Got a couple beers in here, I think.

These two will be nice.

You like that, motherf***er? You like that?

You guys have been pals this long?

Yeah.

Ain't that something?

I'm ready to tell you the truth now.

I'll tell you everything.

Huh. Well, I do love me some confession,

but to be honest,

I don't actually have to hear

this whole song and dance right now.

I think we got the bulk of it pieced together,

prior to you going ginsu on your pal in there, of course.

Hey. Look.

Let's make this easy, okay?

You fill in the blanks for me,

and we'll worry about your formal statement later.

That work for you?

Yeah. Sure.

Okay, so, for the record, this was self-defense, right?

Of course.

When did he bring out the gun?

Right in there, in the kitchen.

He said he was gonna kill me.

Well, I would hope the hell so with you sticking him like that.

Why were you over here at such a weird hour?

He called me.

He said he knew something about...

About your wife.

Yeah.

How'd you know?

'Cause I'm good. That's how.

My wife, Claire.

She's been missing since the night before last.

I called to file a report,

and they said they couldn't do anything

until she'd been gone two days.

Standard.

But...She's not the first woman

that you've known to go missing recently, now, is she?

That's why I called you.

So, you knew good old Abby the waitress after all?

I was sleeping with her.
