It's been

a lot of fun, ginger.

We've had some

good times, right?

I know I have,

and I think

you feel the same way.

[Mimicking ginger]

Oh, my God.

Don't say what I think

you're gonna say.

[As himself]

Ginger...

We had a good run.

The sex...

The pointless conversations

before sex,

all of it.

But let's face it,

we have nothing in common.

[As ginger]

Don't, Dylan. Please.

You mean everything to me.

This will rock my world.

You complete me.

[As himself]

Shh, t-t-t-b-b-b-bye, ginger.

It's over.

Now, you're a good kid.

I know you're gonna

land on your feet.

[Bird chirps]

Please don't cry.

[Squawks]

Shh.

[Sighs]

No good.

It's not you, ginger,

it's me. I come from a--

Dylan?

What are you doing here?

You don't smoke.

Yeah, I know.

I'm trying to start.

Ginger, I think

we should talk.

I gotta get ready

for work.

Fine.

Ginger, we've had

some good times.

Dylan, before you go

any further,

there's something

I've been wanting to say.

I don't think I'm the girl

you're looking for.

Oh, my God, don't say

what I think

you're gonna say.

You keep trying

to change me.

No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

You can't accept the fact

that I don't like

caddyshack or ac/dc.

Well, you never listened

to their first album.

And what's with the

community college crap?

Are you telling me it

wasn't you who put these

under the sink next

to the tampax?

Nice touch.

Don't you get it?

I already have a career.

Come on.

Look, Dylan...

We have nothing in common.

What about the sex?

Oh, Dylan,

sex isn't everything.

And you said that yourself

just the other night.

Well, that was right

after we had sex.

Don't listen to me.

There's a...

Weird half hour there

where somehow

it isn't important

to guys anymore.

Shh, shh, shh. Look,

I can't do this right now.

I'm almost up.

It's over. We're done.

So accept it.

Be a man.

Well, when you put it

that way,

I don't know why we went

out in the first place.

[Knocking on door]

Hey, ginger, you're up.

It's coming back to me.

Miss you.

[Van halen record plays]

You, too.

Warner home video

hey, thanks for coming.

Enjoyed it.

Hey, boss.

Hey, man.

Hey, Lisa.

Hi, Dylan.

That's a cool dress.

You want to play motorboat?

I'll start.

[Imitates motorboat engine]

Keep laughing.

You're next.

Ricky, you get that

same lunch every day.

Mmm.

We're gonna have to

name it after you soon.

[Mouth full]

That's fine.

Keep eating.

Don't slow down.

You guys ok here?

Great.

Could use

some water.

Can we get

some water on 9?

First one's free.

Hey, buddy.

What do you got

goin' there?

Not hungry?

Better eat up.

Don't want to end up

like me,

skinny and dumb.

Not the way to go.

Turtle, what

are you doing?

Hey, boss.

I'll tell you what.

I got those plates

looking wonderful.

[Coughs] How was

that sh*t sandwich?

We serve those now?

Go take care of that.

You're dealing

with customers.

Whoa, fire. Fire!

Fire! Fire!

Put it out!

I got it. I got it.

I got it.

You ok?

Yeah.

Ah, great.

86 the souffls, guys.

You know the Norton's have

been waiting 30 minutes

for one of these?

Relax, mark,

I'll handle it.

How am I supposed to put out

50 entrees tonight

with only one oven?

I'm sorry.

You want me

to let the place

burn down?

You know what?

At least we would've gotten

the insurance money.

I told you, don't worry

about the money.

I'm meeting with ray

in the morning.

We're gonna get

the loan.

Really? When?

I mean, I've been hearing

about this phantom loan

since you talked me into

this place 3 months ago.

I mean, look around

you, Dylan.

You got one oven

on life-support,

a freezer

that doesn't freeze,

an ice maker that makes...

You know, really cold water.

If we don't make a move

on the space next door soon,

somebody else will.

I mean, come on.

I got a wife and kid

to think about.

Mark, I get it.

Uh, no, I-I-I-I don't

think you do.

You see here, not only

are we not gonna be able

to get a new place--I mean,

we're gonna lose this pla--

[muffled] Never listens!

Never listens!

Likes to talk!

Hears himself talking!

Are you done?

[Sighs] Yeah.

Good. Everything's

gonna be fine.

Remember our deal...

You worry about

the food,

I'll take care

of the business.

Where are my souffls?

Ask him.

No more souffls.

Hey, boss,

you got a minute?

Uh, I guess so, Wally.

Remember the time when

it was really slow here

and I was sitting down

watching Sally Jesse

and you shot me with

a rubber band to my arm

and said, "Jesus, Wally,

stop itching your butt

and get a life"?

Sure, that was yesterday.

Oh, yeah.

Well, anyway,

I decided you was

absolutely right.

I gotta broaden

my horizons.

If I end up a lifer here

like turtle,

I'll kill myself.

That's why there's

no time to waste.

I want to be exactly

like you, boss.

I want you to be

my mentor, my guru,

my rabbi.

When you're chopping the

heads off the chickens,

I want to be there.

When you're squeezing

the melons,

when you're hitting

on the customers,

I want to be right there

with you, boss.

You know, chopping,

squeezing, hitting,

you know? I mean, I want

to just follow you

wherever you go!

Just about a foot

feels good.

Right.

Well, you're--you're very loud

and that's flattering.

Uh-huh.

Uh...

It's good to hear

that stuff.

Maybe you would even consider

moving in with me.

Really? You mean it?

No. Big no.

But I think turtle

might have bunk beds,

so if you two could

figure something out...

[Gags]

[Laughs] You got me,

boss. Good one!

Hey, took care

of the nortons.

Everything's cool.

I'm gonna take off now.

What do you mean?

Uh...

I can't do this right now.

My head's not in it.

Let me guess.

Cowgirl gave you

the boot.

No.

Yes.

But I got

the last burn on her.

I said, baby,

when the phone ain't ringing,

that's me not calling.

Yeah.

Really, you said that?

No. But I should've.

Damn it, I just

thought of it right now

when I said it to you.

You know, one day

you're gonna meet

the right girl...

You're not gonna

know what to do.

You know where to find me.

Oh, yeah.

Turtle, never

date a girl

who pays her rent

in singles.

Ok.

Bills, crap, junk...

"Have you seen me?"

No.

Ahh.

Afternoon, ladies.

Oh, you'll never

leave me.

Ooh, there's a bargain.

[Dog barking,

cat screeching]

Jack!

Oh, are you all right?

I'm sorry. I didn't see you.

Are you--are you hurt?

Uh, no, that's ok.

I'm on the pill.

Forgive me. I'm sorry.

Jack!

Wait! Where--

where are you--

ok, girls, who wants

egg salad?

Oh.

You made it?

Yes.

No,

thank you.

No, forget it.

[Knocking on door]

Come in.

Hi-hi-hi,

Mrs. stubblefield.

Oh, Dylan,

you found whiskers.

Where was she?

Oh, she was

behind a dumpster.

Some dog chased her

back there.

Oh. Well, thank you.

Well, if it ain't

the shorty express,

right on time.

Hello, ladies.

Would you like to

join us for a drink?

Oh, no, thanks.

I already had

a roofie for lunch.
