Handsome Harry
- LUTHER, YOU PIRATE.
- HARRY, DID YOU CATCH ANYTHING
THIS WEEKEND?
- YEAH, I CAUGHT HELL.
- OH.
- HOW ARE YOU, PETE?
- HARRY, I'M GONNA NEED
SOME DEER MEAT, BUDDY.
- NO PROBLEM.
GOT A FREEZER FULL.
- MORNING, HARRY.
- YOU EVER GONNA FIX
THAT KAYAK OF YOURS, HANK?
- YOU LOOK TERRIBLE.
- WAS OUT DANCING TILL DAWN.
- IT'S NOT MUCH FUN
DANCING BY YOURSELF.
YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME.
- [chuckles]
- NO.
I NEVER REMEMBERED
MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY EITHER.
- OH, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
HEY.
THERE'S A RUMOR
YOU'RE SELLING THE BUSINESS.
I NEVER PLANNED ON
DYING IN THE SADDLE.
BESIDES, MURIEL,
I'M A YOUNG MAN.
I'M A TIGER.
- [chuckles]
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
MY DAD RETIRED,
DIED OF CANCER IN TEN MONTHS.
- WELL, I WON'T DO ANYTHING
PRECIPITOUS.
- BIG WORD
MORNING, HARRY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
BUT I WAS OUT OF TOWN YESTERDAY.
- HE REMEMBERS. MY SON DIDN'T.
- I KNOW THE BIRTHDAYS
OF ALL MY CLIENTS.
DON'T TRY TO.
OKAY, HERE'S THOSE FIGURES
YOU WANTED, HARRY.
THAT IS A SWEET DEAL FOR PAULEY.
- I'M GONNA CHEW ON I A LITTLE BIT MORE, SAM.
MURIEL SAYS I'M GONNA DIE OF
CANCER TEN MONTHS AFTER I SELL.
- YOU KNOW, HARRY, ON AVERAGE,
MARRIED MEN LIVE LONGER
THAN SINGLE MEN.
IT'S A FACT.
- THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PROPOSAL,
DOESN'T IT, SAM?
- IT'S NOT.
IT'S JUST A FACT.
- I HEARD YOU CAN GE THE SAME BENEFITS WITH A CAT.
- SO GET A CAT.
- OR I COULD MOVE TO COSTA RICA,
GET MYSELF A BEAUTIFUL SENORITA,
LIVE THE LIFE OF RILEY
DOWN THERE.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT,
"COSTA RICA?"
YOU CAN'T EVEN SPEAK SPANISH.
ANOTHER LEAD SINGER?
ON WEDNESDAY.
- I'LL BE THERE.
WHAT?
- HOW ABOUT I COME OVER TONIGH
AND GIVE YOU A NICE
BIRTHDAY BLOW JOB?
IT'S A JOKE, HARRY.
- WHAT'D HE SAY, MURIEL?
- NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, HANK.
- MORNING, BOSS.
- ANYBODY CALL?
- UH, DOUG FENTON.
SAID HE WANTED AN ESTIMATE
ON A NEW HOUSE.
I TOLD HIM:

I NEED TO HAVE HIM FORGIVE ME.

I CALLED HIM YESTERDAY,
- WELL,
- KELLY, WE WERE KIDS.
WE ALL SUFFERED FOR I IN OUR OWN WAY,
SO WHY DON'T YOU
JUST FORGIVE YOURSELF
AND DIE IN PEACE
AND DON'T BE SUCH A P*SSY?
WE BECAME MEN TOGETHER.
THAT MUST COUNT FOR SOMETHING.
