to pay back half the money.

It's not about the money, Jeremy.

I got the deposit back

from the reception hall.

- I thought it was nonrefundable.

- It was...

but, um... but my mom said you died.

They sent us an arrangement

of flowers and a nice card.

Well, that was sure supporting of them.

Did your mother put them on my grave?

What the hell...

Kerri, this is stupid. Let me drive you home.

It's not like I have to come into your house.

You don't have to stay, Jer.

She'll be here.

Is Jersey that depressing

you had to go straight to the bar?

- God, you look great!

- I gave into society and joined some bullshit gym.

You're looking pretty hot yourself.

I guess the single life is agreeing with you.

Hey, Jeremy, how you doing?

[Groaning]

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Was those your little nuts, scumbag?

- Marty, you said you wouldn't do that!

[Marty]

I'm sorry. It was a freak thing.

- It was like a spasm.

- Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I just like to

stretch out after long plane rides.

What better place than right here

on the floor?

I'm sorry. I didn't know

she was gonna do that.

She's just disappointed she's not gonna

be maid of honor this weekend.

You called off the wedding, not me.

Because of something you did,

I'm sure.

I'm gonna have to explain this

a million times this week.

Maybe then people will understand.

Until then, you should

probably get a cup.

Good-bye, Jeremy.

I don't know what you did,

but you're killing her.

You know that, right?

Hey, Dad.

Dad?

Dad?

- Hey, Mom.

- Hey, handsome.

- How was your flight?

- Oh, you know, it was long.

- Yeah.

- So, is Dad losing his hearing?

- [Chuckles] What?

- You guys are ready for a home. I knew it.

You okay, Jeremy?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Things are just a little weird

right now.

Yeah. Everybody's asking me what happened,

and I don't know what to tell 'em.

I'm sorry. I should have called 'em.

I don't know what to tell 'em either though.

Well, I'll keep holding 'em off,

and when you're ready to talk to 'em, you can.

In the meantime, you must be starving.

You want something to eat?

Yeah, I could eat.

Biscuit, I'm not trying to be

the boss or nothing here...

but you gotta stop doing that.

We work in a dangerous environment

where accidents are bound to happen.

But we can't afford to lose

any more customers...

not to mention what

that does to the blades.

You know...

she didn't call the police

until you got there, Gil.

Hey, I was just doing

some damage control.

I was looking for a bright side. Just because she

wasn't quite ready for that, don't blame me!

You don't have to yell.

I agreed with you, Gil.

Her lawn will grow back

healthier and thicker.

I just think she needed a little bit more time

before you started showing her the benefits.

That's all.

- [Scoffs]

- Maybe if we just pretended nothing happened...

we could have come back next week

and she would have forgotten about it.

"Pretended nothing happened"? Her backyard

was so red, it looked like f***ing Mars.

I don't mean pretend it didn't happen.

I mean, obviously it did.

I just think we should have acted

like it was no big deal.

The dog's tongue actually hit her.

Can we just drop it, please?

Frankly, the whole thing

is just a buzz kill, man.

You think Jeremys home yet?

[Chuckles]

Our blushing groom? Probably.

[Chuckles]

Sh*t, man.

Jeremy's getting married.

That's weird.

We're gonna have to

bring, like, flowers...

or, like, a bottle of wine

when we go over to his house now.

Biscuit, when did you become Joe Rockefeller,

lavishing gifts on women?

For your information,

I happen to have quite a reputation...

for being very generous

when it comes to the ladies.

[Scoffs] What? The last date you had

was in sixth grade with Sarah Fargis.

And the only thing I'm aware

of you giving her was scabies.

Is that your idea

of a generous gift... a parasite?

Sarah Fargis gave me scabies.

That's why I broke up with her.

And I have had many dates

since Miss Fargis, thank you.

Oh, you broke up with her, huh?

Biscuit, need I remind you that you were the only

kid in elementary school with a restraining order?

You weren't allowed on the playground

for recess, for Christ sakes.

All right, all right! Man!

F*** that Fargis b*tch!

- Can we please just go call Jeremy?

- Sure.

- [Gil] Hey, sh*t stain.

- Hey, Gil, what's up, man?

- How's it going?

- I'm good. How you doing?

- I'm all right. How was Sin City?

Vegas is hot. It was 100 degrees when I left.

That was 8:
30 this morning.

- Good God. Is the broad with you?

- No, she's at her parent's house.

- So, are you nervous?

- No. Why should I be nervous?

- You wanna go down to the Bootlegger?

- Yeah. Is Biscuit with you?

- Isn't he always?

- Cool.

- Do you need a lift?

- No, it's okay. I got a rental car.

- It's kind of cool

seeing everything again, you know?

- As if anything's changed.

We're, like, stuck in a time capsule here.

It's very sad. I'll see you there.

All right. I'll see you there.

I need you.

- That's 20 bucks, a**hole.

- F***.

What's 20 bucks?

I bet Gil here 20 bucks that you'd come out

of the closet before the end of the year.

Out of the closet?

I am not gay.

- Yeah.

- I'm just saying that the homosexual lifestyle...

in theory, is ideal.

Uh-huh. You're gay.

- [Scoffs] You know what I'm saying.

- No, I don't.

I'm just saying guys and girls

are just two different animals.

Cats and dogs if you will.

Guys are like the dogs...

not too bright, they like to take rides in cars

and they hump anyone's leg two seconds

after they meet them.

- Accurate?

- For argument's sake, okay.

All right. Now, girls

are like the cats...

a little mysterious,

kind of standoffish.

It takes a long time to win 'em over, right?

But once you do win 'em over...

they're all rubbing on your leg

and purring they love you and sh*t.

Now, do cats love dogs?

For the most part, no. Why? Because

they're two different animals. It's unnatural.

That's not to say there aren't

cats and dogs that do get along.

But that takes special circumstances.

They need to be raised together.

One of them needs to be blind

or something f***ed up.

Now, do dogs like dogs?

They sure do. Two dogs meet, two minutes later,

they're going at it wherever they are.

Why? Because they're the same animal!
