young man's touch.

(popping)

Whoo, ah-ha-ha.

I'm getting a raise.

What are you

doing here, Sheila?

Hello-ho-ho.

The question is,

what are you doing here?

I was just helping

her, okay, relax.

Yeah, look like you

was helping yourself.

Bag, please.

Mr. Randall asked me come by

and drop off these files

after I came back

home from my card game.

Oh-ho-ho,

I went blind seven.

I'm set, baby.

I won 50 bucks.

Amen and amen.

Whoo.

Elston, uh...

I hope I didn't tear it up

too badly, man.

Baby...

I cannot eat any more of those burritos

from that cantina.

It just tore my stomach apart.

Yeah, maybe we should

get a move on it.

Looks to me like

somebody else has got a move on

while you were gone.

What does

she mean by that?

Oh, no, no, no,

my tongue, it just gets loose,

you know, when I get to sipping

at those card games.

Don't pay me no mind.

You know, my tongue

gets even looser

when my pocketbook is lighter.

Thank you very much.

Your generosity

is "muchly" appreciated.

It's gonna go to

a good cause.

Here are you files.

Oh, thank you.

I didn't see nothing.

Goodbye, Sheila.

What's that all about?

I think...

you need to cut her hours.

She got a couple screws loose.

Don't we all.

Listen, baby, why don't we

have a little champagne?

We just got here.

Sit back and relax.

Yeah, but, you know,

maybe we should go.

I'm feeling a little

flushed.

Just... a little flushed.

Okay.

Yeah, um...

Maybe you guys should

take a rain check, you know.

You don't want her

feeling weak and then you guys

have an accident or something.

Yeah, when I feel like this,

I tend to be a little reckless.

Okay, okay, buttercup.

Whatever you want.

We'll get you home

and get you wrapped up, okay?

Thank you.

Can't keep

my hands off of you.

Hey, listen, um...

- sorry we're leaving so soon.

- No problem.

But I left the bottle

of champagne for you.

And I'll see you in the office

tomorrow, son.

See you tomorrow, sir.

- Let's go, baby.

- Okay.

##

- See you in the morning.

- Come on, baby.

According to this report,

this should be a no-brainer.

The trucker's

blood alcohol level

was well above the legal

limit when he hit her.

I don't know, man,

what kind of monetary value

can you put on a pinkie toe?

Same as any toe.

No, no, not necessarily.

I mean, I don't know if the jury's

gonna see it like that.

You see, now, a pinkie toe

probably should cost

a little considerably less.

I mean, no, a big toe, yeah,

big toe... bucks, I understand that.

But with a pinkie toe?

Let bygones

be bygones.

What kind of open-toe shoes

a 70-year-old woman

gonna wear anyway?

That pinkie toe is long gone.

It's dead,

forget about it.

Sometimes I wonder what goes on

in that head of yours.

Look, I just say the things

that people are scared to say.

You say the things

that scare me for you

as well as future generations.

I... I guess

I'm just tripping, man.

I've been going through some

stuff lately, dude.

This woman's crazy, dude, l...

She's putting stuff

on the stove,

heating it up and everything.

She's on some

medieval stuff right now.

I can't handle it, man,

I don't know what's going on.

Yeah, she got issues.

Yeah, she got issues,

but what does it say about me?

I'm still with her.

Why don't you stand up

for yourself, man?

You weren't like

that in college.

Yeah, I know.

I know, I know,

I guess I...

Guess I lost my mojo a little bit, man.

Yeah, it's like you

lost your confidence

after you didn't get drafted.

You remember

what happened, dude?

I'm sitting there

waiting to get drafted.

The agent snatches the chicken wing

right out of my mouth.

Just like that, you know?

In front of my friends,

my family members.

I had the whole party set up,

it was embarrassing, dude.

I remember,

I had to pay half the bill.

That was the most humiliating day

of my life.

Hands down.

It was just...

humiliating.

You was a loser, too.

Yes, you know what?

My grandmother even

called me a loser.

You're not a loser, man.

Look, you're... you're...

look, you're a junior lawyer.

Come on.

I'm a junior lawyer.

Yes, and now you

probably should leave.

You know what?

On that note, I'm just gonna

get out of here, man.

- I got some things to take care of.

- All right.

- You can finish up yourself.

- Shake it off, buddy.

Junior lawyer.

##

- (sighing)

- (knocking)

Uh...

...what are you doing here?

- Shh!

Look...

No, listen, about

last night, uh...

Shh.

I was totally in the wrong.

Don't say

not another word.

It was my fault.

Sometimes I just...

I just don't think straight.

No, it's okay,

I know what you mean.

Listen, let's just promise

each other that

it won't happen again.

No harm, no foul, right?

- Agreed.

- Agreed.

Now I think it would be

in your best interest

to clear the premises

'cause you do not want to let

Sheila catch you here.

You know how she is.

I slipped her a 20

on the way in.

She's looking out for me.

Ah, the power of money,

I love it.

See, that's just it, Elston.

I thought that money

would make me happy.

I thought that it would make me

love him more but it didn't.

I ended up marrying for

all the wrong reasons

and when I look at you,

it just reminds me

that, um...

Yeah, listen, um...

I'm not sure I wanna have this

conversation now.

He's my boss

and he's been really good to me.

All right?

You think

you know that man?

You don't.

That man, he is greedy

and he is low-down.

- Okay...

- He built this firm on the backs

of loyal, hard-working,

dedicated people like you.

He's just like his father

and his grandfather.

Okay, listen.

He's your husband,

all right.

Yes, and that's

why I have the right to tell the truth.

Okay, I'd really rather not have this

conversation, all right?

All right, maybe you're right.

I'm sorry to bother you.

It's no problem.

He's coming

down the hall.

If you want me to

fake a seizure,

it'll be an extra 40 bucks.

- It's not necessary.

- You sure?

I talked myself out of

two speeding tickets that way.

Works like a charm.

Come on, girl, now you...

No, no, no, you are not about

to pay my bills if I lose this job.

Now come on, get your stuff,

get your bags together.

Come on, get out of here, get out!

Look...

everything's gonna

come to the light.

You're gonna see the truth.

(door closing)

Yeah, baby, yeah, I know.

Yeah, yeah,

I just went to the bathroom.

That's all I did.

I know, I should have called you

on my cell phone, but, yeah,

it takes a little longer

'cause they didn't have paper towels.

And you know I don't

like to air dry.

I can't go

back to my desk soggy.

Sweet... No, no, I didn't.

Okay, number two.

Are you happy?

No, I didn't go talk to

the Human Resources lady.

No, you messed that up for me,

yeah, you did.

Yeah, you remember, you called in

a bomb threat.

Yeah, now she's scared to death.

Yeah, every time she see me, yeah,

she runs in the opposite direction.
