Hermetically sealed existence, huh?!

Sounds good to me.

You must've seen a lot.

You know, being out here for..

two Lucies, you want one?

- Ok, c'mon.

See ya.

I could even start my own

business or something.

What would you wanna do?

I don't know.

Maybe I could like..

open my own nightclub

or something.

You know, like a real high class place with

no hookers or pimps or anything, but like..

like real people.

I could be like the hostess.

I think you'd be good at that.

You're really friendly.

No, I'm saving mine for later.

Okay.

Marybeth.

Marybeth, wake up.

Wake up!

Damn!

Honey, why did you do that for?

You were in a f***in' coma.

I was sleepin'.

One of these days I'm gonna wake

up and gonna find you dead.

And then what?

You'd probably

throw water on me.

That ain't f***in' funny!

Daddy..

What kind of eggs you want?

What?

Nothin'.

What the hell is wrong with'u?

Benny?

F*** yooou!
