In Good Company Page #6

Uh, he was in this cult

for a while.

Do you, do you...

Let's get out of here.

Do you want to, like,

take a walk or something?

l'm like, uh... Now that l've

told you my entire life story.

Sure.

Although, uh, there isn't

much left to talk about.

Really?

/ Still a little bit

of your taste /

/ In my mouth /

/ Still a little bit of you

laced /

/ With my doubt /

/ Still a little hard

to say /

...wear these giant muumuus

that were see-through.

/ What's going on /

They were see-through?

Yeah.

That's cool.

/ Stones taught me to fly /

/ Love taught me to lie /

Thank you.

Thank you.

So...

/ Life taught me to die /

/ So it's not hard to fall /

Right.

/ When you float

like a cannonball //

You want to see

my dorm room, maybe?

Hey,

don't get the wrong idea.

l-- l don't invite guys

to my room often.

Or ever, actually.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh.

l'm having a major

college flashback here.

Aw, come on, old man.

My roommate's

out for the night.

Really? She's, oh...

l was really looking forward

to meeting her.

Yeah, she's only

mildly chemically imbalanced.

Ta-da!

Oh.

Yeah, this is awesome.

Yeah, it's okay.

Uh, l heard this rumor

that alcohol

impairs your judgment.

l wish you weren't so beautiful.

l'm not.

No, Alex. You are.

Thank you.

Well, it looks like

everything's perfect.

So why are you still talking?

What?

Oh, nothing.

l was just thinking

about how my dad said

he put surveillance cameras

in the building.

That's...

That's hilarious.

Where to now?

You're all going

to the 29th floor.

Oh, great.

l hear there's, uh,

fantastic air-conditioning

on that floor.

Hey, Dan, how's your commute?

Can you believe

we're moving offices already?

By the way, first b-ball game

against the 51st floor corporate VPs.

So, uh... Oh, weird.

l guess that's this floor now.

What's wrong with you?

Me? Um... Are you...

Nothing. Um, nothing.

You're acting jumpy.

Did you switch from mocha

to crack?

Whoa, Dan. That's, uh...

You're coming off

really paranoid right now.

You're weirding me out,

buddy.

Crack. That's...

/ Well, it's so good /

/ I didn't have to make it /

/ It's so good /

Hey, Alex.

Haven't talked to you

in a few days.

lt's your dad, by the way.

Give us a call.

/ 'Cause I'm ten years ahead /

/ And you're the echo

of the things I say /

/ Yes, I'm ten years ahead /

You understand this is totally

demoralizing for me, so...

Sorry.

l don't think

you should force it, honey.

Don't force it.

Don't say it.

/ Well, it's no good /

/ Revolving around me /

Hey, Alex.

Uh, left a message for you

at the dorm and on your phone.

Guess you have

your cell phone turned off.

Give us a call.

/ When you cannot

reach me /

l'm fired?

/ 'Cause I'm ten years ahead /

/ And you're the echo

of the words I say /

l'm sorry.

/ Yes, I'm ten years ahead //

But l've worked here

for 5 years.

lt's been an honor.

Okay, you ready?

Will you be okay

with that thing?

Oh, yeah, fine.

Hey, uh, what's that big guy doing here?

He's one of the moving men.

Uh, l guess, uh, Steckle

recruited him for his VP team.

Oh, that's fair.

Wonder if

l can still dunk.

You could dunk?

Oh, yeah.

Can't you? You're 26.

Heads up!

Whoa! Hey.

What's up?

Word on the street is,

Teddy K.'s on the prowl.

Soon as he gets back from his

around-the-world balloon trip,

he's gonna go munch

on Continental Brands.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, great.

Maybe they'll advertise

in the magazine again.

l'm sorry, who are you?

Mark, this is Dan Foreman.

He's the one

l was telling you about,

helped us close

that Toys 'R' Us deal.

Oh, Carter's being modest.

He did most of the work.

Aw.

That's beautiful.

Maybe you two

should get a room.

You pussies ready

to get schooled?

Oh!

Not in my house!

No, no, no.

Do it, baby. Do it, baby.

lt's for me. For me.

Go ahead, donkey!

You can't guard me.

Get down. Get down there!

Mine. He's mine. Help. Help.

Yes!

Let's go! Get down, Jimmy.

Yo, Krouse! Fist! Fist!

That's right! Move!

Come on. Come on.

l'll take the big man.

Hey, ease up, my man.

You're gonna have

a heart attack.

What's the matter?

Can't take a little D?

Open! Get open!

Let's go, Dan! Yes!

Yeah, yeah!

Throw it down!

Dunk it!

Oh, sh*t.

l'm okay. l'm okay.

l'll be right back.

Just give me a second.

Damn.

This is Alex's cell phone.

Please leave a message.

Thanks.

/ Eyeless in the morning sun /

/ You were pale and mild,

a modern girl /

/ Taken with thought,

still prone to care /

/ Makin' tea

in your underwear /

/ You went out in the yard

to find //

What's her name?

Who? What? Who?

The fish.

Oh. Uh, it's a he.

And, uh, his name is Buddy.

Ah.

Does Buddy want

a friend?

Buddy had a friend.

Um, he ate him. So...

You mind if l,

uh-- uh...

Sure. Yeah.

You... Yeah.

l want to,

l want to ask you something.

Okay.

When, uh...

When you were 18,

did you ever return

your parents' phone calls?

Uh, well,

they never called.

But, uh, yeah,

l'm sure l would've.

Well, my oldest daughter,

she won't call me back.

And l feel like going down

to NYU and kidnapping her

so l can stop

worrying about her.

That sounds like

a really bad idea.

Uh, look, Alex seems, um,

from the very brief time

that l met her,

to be pretty savvy.

l don't think you have

to worry about her too much.

She's a smart,

terrific woman.

Girl. Or smart young lady.

Whatever.

What l'm trying to say

is that, uh,

l think she can

probably take care of herself.

Dan, you seem to have

the perfect marriage.

How do you do it?

You just pick the right one

to be in the foxhole with

and then when you're outside

of the foxhole,

you keep your dick

in your pants.

Well, that's poetic.

Oh, my God.

Did she outdo herself or what?

All right. Oh, yeah. Make way.

Coming through

with the cake here.

Oh, hey, Theo. How's...

Hey, uh,

where do l put this?

All right.

lt's a rager, huh?

Okay.

Are you still glad you decided

not to have a birthday party?

Yep,

not in the mood this year.

Well, Mom says

you could use a little fun.

She says you should lighten

up for the sake of your health.

She does, does she?

They're here. Everybody hide.

You go ahead, sweetheart.

l'm going to

check the mailbox.

Okay. Cool.

Quiet, he's going to be here

in a second.

Surprise!

Surprise?

Dad!

Hey, Morty.

Hey, nice party.

Thanks for coming.

Sure.

How are you?

Not so good,

not so good.

l mean psychologically.

Oh, l'm sorry.

That's okay.

Anyway,

my wife got a promotion.

l'm hoping

she'll raise my allowance.

But this is good punch.

Happy birthday.

Good party.

You look--

you look really beautiful.

Thank you.

And, um...

This is really not a

big deal. But l, uh...

l got something for you.

lt's not my birthday.

Go on.

Holy sh*t.

Wow! Are these real diamonds?

lt's too expensive.

No. No, don't. No.

l feel funny.

l'm sorry. l don't...

l mean, it's not... l-- l...

lt just felt good to...

lt's sweet.
