- It's a lot, like 80 pounds...

Yeah.

- ...stuff right there.

- Hey, hi.

Hildy, Chris.

Oh, hey.

Last time I saw you,

my head was in the toilet.

Right.

What's that?

At the party, you know.

Anyway, it's stupid.

What kind of toilets

do you guys got?

Is it good?

Is it in good working order?

I don't... really... know.

'Cause I'm picky about

what I throw up in.

'Cause I'm definitely gonna throw up, no offense.

I mean, I have a lot

of volume when I puke.

You saw, right? You saw.

It's gonna be,

like, explosive.

Okay.

Well, Carol's cooking, so you might

find out how good the toilet is.

- What?

- Hildy!

That was good. It's a little

mean, but it was good.

Yeah, it was a little bit mean.

But that's okay.

Wait, wait. What about Mr.

Watsey, and the Watse hump?

Is he still

five months pregnant?

- He's still there and still...

- Farting.

Oh, God, the flashlights.

- What?

- Oh, my God.

Figure it out, dude. Buy

some Gas-X or whatever.

Don Watsey has

a farting problem?

Oh, non-stop.

It's an epidemic.

- It's like a serious problem.

- So toxic.

Hey, who won?

Vince, of course.

He's here.

- Hello, sir.

- Carol's kid, in the flesh.

- Chris Connelly.

- Tom Beasley.

Nice to meet you.

Congrats

on your release.

Thank you very much.

Maybe now

I can get my wife back.

Just joshing you.

Let me get you

a plate.

No, no.

Don't bother.

Oh.

Generally they'd have hot dogs or some tacos,

but they didn't have squat over there.

You were in a car show?

Actually it was

a classic car competition.

My buddy, Vince,

won the big one.

He always does.

Can I be excused?

Sure.

So, how is the job hunt

going?

Pretty good.

Just starting out.

I hear it's pretty tough.

Carol asked me to check in

with the uppers at work,

but we can't hire

any ex-felons.

I appreciate that, sir.

Yeah. Maybe I'll enroll

in some classes.

You know, these days, everybody's

doing their business online.

eBay...

Gregslist...

- So...

- Gregslist? Craigslist.

And nobody knows

who's buying or selling.

Scary as sh*t

if you ask me, but,

in your case it might work

to your advantage.

I don't know.

I think that went well.

Right?

Yeah.

- So...

- You okay?

Am I okay? Yeah.

Yeah. I'm fine.

Yeah.

Okay.

So what are we doing tomorrow?

Bowling 10:
00 a.m.?

We could get our nails done?

We're buds now. We gotta hang.

Oh, you know, I was thinking,

this is a...

You know, this is

a difficult time for you,

'cause you know,

you just got out

and you have nothing but time

on your hands, you know.

When I would talk to you,

you know,

couple of times a week,

that was kind of all

the free time I had, you know.

I have my job.

I have the family, um...

The guys

at Ending Mandatory Minimums

actually said they may have

another client for me.

- Really?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Can you believe it?

Who is it?

Who's the client?

Oh, I don't know.

They didn't say.

So you're gonna work with

them, like, full time?

No. No, no.

They...

They seem to think

I have kind of a, you know...

you know, knack for this,

so... maybe...

Who knows? Maybe I could, you

know, do some good in the world.

It might be a...

I mean, some more good.

- Yeah.

- More good in the world.

So, I don't know...

Okay. Yeah.

Yeah.

But we're just gonna...

hang out once a week?

That's it?

Um, you know,

I don't know.

Uh...

Okay.

All right. Okay.

We'll just have to...

We'll see, okay?

'Cause I don't know.

All right.

Well, thanks for breakfast,

I guess.

Thank you for coming.

Thanks for coming.

And I guess I'll just see you

when I see you.

Hey.

- Hey.

- What's up?

- Hey, man.

- Yeah.

Hey.

- How's it going?

- Good.

We're just doing bath time.

- Oh.

- You okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You just mentioned to come by,

so I looked you up and...

- This is great, man.

- Thank you.

The cul-de-sac

and everything.

Yeah, you know

how I do.

Um, so yeah, man. It's like a

crime scene in there right now.

We're just doing

bath time, and...

Baby's sick, so we're just

scrambling, but, um,

- Okay. All right.

- Yeah.

Yeah. I was just

gonna say hi, whatever.

Yeah. No, no, no.

What about later?

Are you free later?

- Yeah, uh, maybe.

- No!

Uh...

Yeah. Just, uh, text me.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Cool?

- Cool.

We could do that.

Hey, you still

got the bike, man.

- It's pretty strong.

- Yeah. That's the one, man.

- Cool.

- 20 years of rust.

- Cool.

- And counting.

Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Very cool.

- All right.

- All right. Well...

Cool.

- I guess...

- All right.

Get in there, man. It sounds

like your kids are drowning.

Yeah, I'm the one

who's drowning.

Help me.

- See you.

- All right.

Sh*t.

- Hey.

- Sorry.

What are you doing here?

I didn't know

you worked here.

- Yeah.

- Um...

I was gonna, um...

get some food or whatever. I just

realized I forgot my wallet.

So I'm just gonna

grab it.

Oh. I can hook you up.

What do you want?

No, I'm sorry. I don't

want you to do that.

No, seriously.

It's all good.

Really?

Corn dog?

Okay. You want some fries?

- Nah.

- Some cheese fries?

I'll put some fries in.

Hey, Courtney,

this is Chris.

- Hey.

- Chris?

Oh, yeah.

You called about the job?

Um, yeah.

Let me grab an application.

Um...

Mr. Watsey deliver

his baby yet?

If by "baby" you mean

"fart baby," yes.

Cute little eight pounder

in third period.

- Whoa.

- Yes.

That's a big one.

Yeah.

Thank you for your purchase.

Oh, thank you so much.

I owe you one.

You wanna fill it

out here, or take it with you?

Um...

I gotta go.

But, thank you.

And nice to meet you.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Hey, um...

I was wondering if you wanted

to hang out some time maybe?

Yeah. Sure.

Yeah, it's like...

family sort of...

Yeah. Cool.

Rad. Okay, um...

Well, you can put your number

in here and...

I'll text you.

Okay.

Um, I don't know if my phone

does the texting thing.

Okay. Well, I'll try.

But if that doesn't work, I can

call you on the telephone.

- All right.

- That's better.

- Rad.

- Okay.

- All right.

- Cool.

All right.

I can't believe

he killed a guy.

He's just a little

puppy dog.

He didn't kill anybody. He was

just there when it all went down.

Wrong place, wrong time

kind of thing.

It's f***ed up.

Yeah.

He didn't even know the guy

he was with had a gun.

He was just trying

to get some beer.

Hey.

Hey.

Nice place you got here.

Thanks.

Come on.

All right.

You live here now?

Um...

not exactly.

All right.

I wish.

So, what is like

the most different?

Cell phones.

Smart phones.

Whatever everyone's

obsessed with.

And the texting, man.

I guess I'm gonna get used to it.

Jesus!

So did you get

a job yet?

Nope.

People do not wanna hire a

murderer for some reason.

Don't say that. You're

like the opposite of that.

My mom said that you tried

to save that guy,

and that's how you got caught.

You stayed back

while everyone ran off.

Yeah, but...

I was in for 20 years,

so it's like...
