All right, i'm sorry that i screwed

things up for you and this other chick.

Yvonne.

- I owe you. Okay?

Thank you.

- So, are you gonna call this yvonne?

I don't think that's really an option

at this point.

You guys got a lot to talk about.

That's for sure.

I'll make it up to you. I said, "i'm sorry."

I could actually use some help financially.

Clare's not helping with the rent?

- No, it's my ankle.

The deductible for the x-Rays and

the mri was like 1.000 bucks.

Think maybe i could borrow like $700?

Doug, you still haven't paid me for the tickets.

- But you said i could pay you after.

When? When are you gonna pay me...

next year?

You're quitting your job.

- No, i'm not. -You got the time off?

I'm working on it.

- Okay.

I'm gonna... i'm gonna take off.

- You're leaving?

Yeah.

- Wh... 'cause i won't give you the money?

Wh... 'cause i won't give you

the money?

No, because you're an a**hole.

Bill.

- Can it wait? I have like two minutes here.

I'd prefer if we could just talk for a minute...

- All right.

... about me taking time off in august.

I thought we already discussed that.

I understand, but i-I can't change

the dates to my trip,

I'm prepared to leave if necessary.

- Leave?

You're gonna quit?

- I haven't asked for a vacation in over three years.

You can have the vacation.

You can have three weeks in september.

But i can't have you out in august.

- I-I've made a decision.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means that i'm prepared to leave.

Because you can't go in august?

- It's just 11 business days in total.

No. And no.

Can i make it any clearer?

Okay.

So, you're gonna quit?

- I'll stay until the end of july.

Doug, that is the worst decision you

could make.

I tried to make it clear how much

i depended on you.

I guess that didn't matter.

I think you were in a hurry when i knocked.

- My bus?

Oh, i missed it now... by a long shot.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to inconvenience you.

You say that all the time. "I'm sorry."

How sorry are you, anyway?

In this case, i'm not that sorry, i guess.

- I didn't think so.

You can find someone starting tomorrow.

- So, you're quitting now?

Can i make it any clearer?

"Yin."

Hey.

Hey.

- Hey. I saw your update.

Yeah, i'm still processing it.

- Um, are you celebrating?

Yeah, i'm at esplanade.

- I think you're gonna be a lot happier.

Aw, thanks. I appreciate you calling.

- Well, yeah.

Um... are you up to anything saturday?

- Uh... th-This saturday?

I found a new place, and i, um... if you

don't mind, i'd really appreciate the help

Moving in. It won't take very long.

I don't have that much stuff,

It won't take very long.

I don't have that much stuff, obviously.

Well, Clare, i don't know how much

help i can really be with my ankle.

You know what? Even if you could just

watch the van,

i'm sure there'll be other people helping

with boxes and stuff.

I'd really appreciate it.

Oh, all... what time?

How's 10:
00?

Okay. Great.

I'll see you then... 10:00.

You want another one?

- Uh, no, thanks.

There's just 10 minutes left to happy hour.

- I'm okay.

You sure?

- Yeah. -All right.

Thanks. -Thanks, dude.

All right, hold on.

I'm... i'm finding it.

Now it went away. Why does it do that?

Don't do that! What?

Oh, here it is. All right. Hold on.

It's at a little over $6.000.

And it matures next, uh... next january.

Does that mean i'd have to pay a fine

or something if i withdraw it now?

Well, y-Yes, Doug. I mean, it's a 5- Year cd.

- Well, how much is the fine?

I don't know. Why would you

want to do that?

Well, mitch and i are gonna climb

Kilimanjaro this summer.

Right, but you're not gonna spend your

savings to go climb some mountain.

I wouldn't need all of it.

The airfare was around $1.600 or so.

You already bought the tickets?

- Yeah.

Yeah, but you don't have the money.

Well, i prepared a budget, but i was thrown

off when Clare backed out of her of the rent.

No, no, no, no, no. You're not going

to tap into this money

to cover irresponsible

purchases that you made.

Right, because your mother and i have set this money

aside so that when you want to buy a house,

You'll have help with the down payment.

That's what we did with keith and kelly, right?

That's how they got the house that they're in.

- All right, i understand that.

No, you don't understand.

Let me make this simple for you. I'm a cosigner,

and i am not going to let you cash the cd.

Hey, man.

- Yo.

Thanks for helping out with this.

- Yeah, man.

You know, that's what a**holes

do for each other.

Hey, i got the ring in the bag here.

I want you to take a look at it first.

I'm going into the next one alone, you understand?

- Yeah. We're not gonna sell it for less than $1.000.

I know... i know that.

The guy's just... he's lowballing us.

You just... you leave it to me.

- All right. I'm just saying.

Mitch, come here. Look at this.

No, no, no. We're not going in a

place like this, i'm telling you.

You find a small little hole in the wall.

You sure about this?

- I'm positive. -All right.

I'm positive.

- All right. I'm... i'm listening to you.

What? What did he say?

- You ready for this? $2.200 cash.

Holy sh*t.

- I talked him up from $1.500.

Well, let's get some lunch and

talk about it.

Doug, Doug, $2.200 cash.

Let's go.

- Where's the ring? -It's upstairs.

You left the ring upstairs with this guy?

You should leave the rest of this

stuff in the hallway for now.

What?

- Well, it's just that she told me i couldn't get in till today,

And now she's saying i can't put my

stuff in the hallway so i can paint.

Paint's not that bad.

I'm not moving anything back into the van.

- Obviously.

All right, let's just get out of here.

I feel like i can't breathe.

Oh, yeah.

Could you drop me off at the subway?

I'm going to return the van,

and then i'm taking you to dinner.

Aw, it's fine.

No, no.

You spend your whole day helping me.

No, really.

I appreciate it, but it's all right.

Look, i think i might have just moved in

like, a total b*tch,

and i just want to go to dinner.

- Well, you should.

Okay. I'll drop you at the train.

- I'm just tired.

Let's have dinner some night this week, maybe.

- Please don't.

What?

You know, if you don't want to

spend time with me, that's fine.

Clare, i spent all day with you.

- I'm sorry it was such a torture.

I wanted to help you. I don't

understand why you're fighting with me.

I know. I'm sorry. I don't know.

I'll take you to the train.

I mean, now you're pissed at me.

Well, yeah, 'cause i don't know

what it is you want.

I don't know if you think we're just friends.

But more than that sometimes?

I'm feeling a little lost here.

I want to stay friends.

I want to see you.

I just don't want to get back together.

I don't think that will ever work.

Yeah.

Thank you for making that clear.

I'm sorry. I should go.

- I'll take you to the train. -I want to walk.

Oh, yeah.

Aw, this is some really good sh*t.
