Hickey Page #3

You said he was useless

with a tool box.

I don't remember saying that.

Look, I really gotta

get back to work.

- It's crazy.

- I know. Gary told me.

When did you speak with Gary?

Oh, I was at the coffee shop,

coming in while he was

going out,

and he told me

what you're doing there

- and I think it's really great.

- Okay.

- Why don't you tell

me about it.

- I'll make a sandwich for us. -Look,

I really gotta go, mom. I'm sorry.

Told ya.

It's a mating call.

Thanks. Dr. Goodall.

- She loves me.

- Clearly.

Where were you?

Oh, I had to run home.

For what?

There was an emergency

with the alarm,

so I had to fix it.

Mmm.

I mean, everything's moving

doing well here, isn't it?

Hey, I sold eight sets of

speakers, two window tintings

and a neon undercarriage

lighting package.

- Oh.

- Your turn.

Okay.

Bingo.

- Wait.

- Yeah?

What's your plan?

Well, you know, besides

my winning personality

and my good looks,

that's pretty much it.

How about an LP?

Is that like a Scientology term?

Like... like the tan or...

No, no, an LP is a way

of subtly changing

the way you speak

as a means of persuasion.

No matter what

the customer says,

- always agree with them.

- Even if they're wrong?

Exactly.

Are you using an LP

on me right now?

Never mind.

Look, it worked when Brady

taught it to me.

Wait, I got a better idea.

- Like what?

- Like an auction.

Uh, sorry.

Ladies and gentlemen,

step right up

and let the bidding begin.

This authentic Chinese

surge protector

grounds ac with a triple

patented combination

of six regular outlets.

Wow. Do I hear $50?

Everything's already 35% off.

Fair enough.

Do I hear 25?

15?

Okay, guys, I get it, I get it.

Times are tough, okay?

First person who

bids will win a...

A dance with me.

Slow dance?

Like a turtle.

I'm in.

- Okay.

- And Ellen.

Hey, why don't we play

one of your songs?

I don't have

any of mine with me.

Okay.

Wow! You're so good

with computers, Ryan.

Oh, why, thank you, Carly.

Hey, we should get

coffee sometime.

Oh, my god, I would, like,

totally love that.

Hey, thirsty?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Okay.

"Balls to the walls.

- Bolivian energy drink

of the gods." -Hmm.

Didn't Brady say Jeremy

couldn't store

his pyramid schemes

here anymore?

So, Brady, yeah, as a friend,

do you, like, talk and stuff?

Sometimes.

Not bad.

- Want some?

- Nah, no, I'm good, thanks.

So sometimes it's...

Mainly work stuff I imagine.

That's cool.

Nah, we bone.

I mean, not all the time.

Sometimes it's just

like a quick BJ after work.

You know, if he's tired,

I'll just give him

like, a sad hand job

or something.

I'm kidding!

- Oh, my god.

- Right, right.

You should have seen your face.

You really don't understand

sarcasm, do you?

Well, no, I knew that.

I knew that.

I was...

I was judo kidding.

So zinger...

Is on you.

- It stings. -Burns a

little bit, doesn't it?

What did mama bear pack you?

Let's see what we got here.

- Aw, peanut butter and jelly.

- Yup.

She even cut the crusts off.

- Yeah, she did, didn't she?

- You know what they say

about guys who have better

relationships with their mom?

They make the best boyfriends.

You're gonna be a heartbreaker.

Mary's prayer.

Really?

I... I love this song.

I actually won a contest

playing it when I was a kid.

Really?

Where?

On the mall circuit?

Oh, my god.

Once.

- Twice.

- Mm-hmm.

It was my dad's idea.

That's... that's like...

That's pretty cool.

Oh, god.

All right, your turn.

- Spill.

- What?

Tell me something about you

that nobody else knows.

It'll never leave this room.

Um...

So when do you leave?

I, uh, I don't...

I don't really know.

I haven't decided yet, so...

M.I.T.'S

a great school, Ryan.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

totally totally,

but UCLA is great, too.

Actually, polls say

it's one of the top five

universities

in the country, so...

Wow.

But m.I.T. Gave you

a full scholarship.

Yes, but i...

I applied to UCLA late,

so...

So what's keeping you here?

The climate.

You know it's nice, but,

then, if it gets too nice

- you can go to big bear.

- I should get back to work.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah, I'll be right there,

I just... you know.

Yeah.

Holy sh*t.

Did you guys just?

Bone? In the parking lot?

In broad daylight midday?

Yes. Yes, we did.

Stupid.

I knew it.

Has anybody seen my thumb drive?

- G-man!

- B-czar.

So sorry, buddy. I wish it

didn't have to be like this.

I know.

Hank, my man!

It's been way too long.

You're looking fit, champ!

Catch you guys inside.

Looking for this?

My drive!

I thought i... well, what

were you doing with it?

Well, I knew you were having

trouble with that song,

- so I just... i just thought...

- you thought what?

You thought you'd steal

it, reprogram it,

give it back

and I'd be grateful?

Well, when you put it that way

it doesn't sound

so good, does it?

No, it does not.

Brady! What are you

doing here?

Gary said you guys

were making a run at it.

I thought I'd come by and

see if I couldn't pitch in.

- Is that okay? -Are you kidding?

That's amazing.

You must be Ryan,

heard a lot about you.

Gary says you're the smartest

kid he's ever hired.

Ow! Mother...

Okay, I'm sorry,

but I gotta ask,

that nickname of yours,

"hickey," is it true?

Uh, uh, is...

Is what true?

You know, that you used

to give 'em to yourself

to convince people

you had a girlfriend.

I was a 13-year-old kid.

Yeah, but, 13's kind of more

of a teenager,

wouldn't you say?

Young adult, actually.

Hell, in Jeremy's culture,

you'd already

be considered a man.

What culture is that?

And then you pushed me

in the pool.

I didn't push you

in the pool, okay?

I bumped into you and it's

not my fault your clumsy.

Besides, I still

got a job, so...

- the joke's on you. -I

totally forgot about that.

- What a blast. -Yeah, the little

I can remember, at least.

Hey, you guys.

Hey, I'll get out of your way.

- Toaster?

- It's silly, I know, but...

It'll only take me

a couple of minutes to fix,

and if I can sell it,

we'd actually make

a couple bucks.

What's so funny?

I just don't get it.

I mean, you had all month

to hit your numbers.

Why the hail Mary?

Why not take a shot, right?

All right, gar.

These were...

These were big.

This is a generic.

These were big in the '90s.

They don't break.

I mean, they broke,

but they're easy to fix.

Look, I said I'm sorry.

And I said apology accepted.

It's fine.

- Hi, Ryan! -Hey, Shirley,

is everything okay?

- The receiver is marvelous.

- Perfect.

- The resolution is crystal clear.

- Awesome.

Now I've got my eye

on a new amp to go with it.

I'm thinking of a JBL.

Wow! Are you sure

that's the one you want?

It's a tad bit pricey.

Mom? What are you doing?

Hi.

We're gonna need to return

the receiver that she bought.

Oh, it's a sale,

so, everything's final.

Yeah, no, I know,

it's just, um...

She's not well,

and, um, she saw this on a show
