Play the Game Page #3

play these guys.

So I don't

have any info.

Whatever.

Okay, let's see what

these guys are made of.

Joanie, down and out.

David, fake

and go long.

Break.

All right, let's go,

let's go.

You're covering me?

No, I didn't mean

anything sexist.

I just wanna confirm,

you're covering me?

You know, I bet I'm better at

this game than you are.

I don't think so.

Hike.

Oh!

What is that?

I think so.

Oh, your elbow's bleeding.

Oh, it's a little

"abrusion".

"Abrusion"?

Yeah, you know, it's like

a bruise and an abrasion.

It's a new word just released

by Webster's last week.

Didn't get the memo.

You will,

I'm on the committee.

You sound very bright.

Oh, yeah, I'm Mensa.

Graduated eighth

in my class.

Really?

Huh, I was seventh.

If you wanna

meet women,

go where the women meet.

Um... top...

top of the morning

to you, ma'am.

How are you today?

I'm good.

Can I help you?

My name's Joe.

And I was wondering,

uh...

I was wondering

if you'd like to

have lunch, talk a bit and...

Oh, how sweet.

How old are you, Joe?

Uh, I'm 79.

Well, I'm very

flattered, Joe.

But I'm sorry.

I don't

date older men.

Older men?

We might have

some fun for a while.

But sooner or later,

you would get sick,

and I'll be the one

that has to take care of you

and eventually decide

whether or not

to take you

off of life support.

Been there, done that.

I've earned my

inheritance already.

But now that's too much

pressure for me.

Now if you will excuse me,

I'm late for

a game of mah-jongg.

Bye-bye.

You're covering me?

Seventh in your class, huh?

Quick, what's

the capital of Zambia?

Lusaka.

Right.

Who's Bobby Brady's

first kiss with?

Millicent.

But very good question.

King of England, 1630.

- George V.

- Very impressive.

You don't even know the answers

to these questions.

I certainly do.

James II was king

in 1630.

Hike!

I'm open!

Go, Julie, go, go, go,

go, go, go!

Game over!

Blue team wins it.

Let's move.

All right, Blue!

Yeah, nice pass.

Nice.

Way to show

her who's boss.

She's a fast one,

isn't she?

Nice rack, too.

Intriguing.

- Overthrow me?

- With pleasure.

Oop.

My bad.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Thank you, come again.

Next time, huh?

I gotta go.

Thank you.

Oh, Rose.

Over here, honey.

That's my boyfriend.

I've gotta go.

A rose for Rose.

Oh!

Rose!

Let's go.

Hey, can we play

team three today?

Sorry, bro,

schedule's set.

This job gets better

and better every week.

Ingenious plan.

I guess it didn't include her

not showing up, did it?

She ain't here.

We're gonna kill them.

Hey.

Hey, I guess we're

playing you guys again.

I wonder how that

happened, man.

I don't know.

Too bad you guys are

missing that superstar girl

you had last week, huh?

- What was her name?

- Julie Larabee.

Julie Larabee,

that's right.

Hey, listen,

we need a sub next week.

Do any of you guys

have her number

or an address or something?

Sure, just get a hold of me

after the game, all right?

Good luck, buddy.

6:
00 in the morning?

Every morning

like clockwork.

Thanks.

Excuse me, ma'am.

The tables are filling,

so do you mind if

this gentleman joins you?

How nice.

And how are you

this fine evening?

I'm nice.

And you?

Well, fantastic

now that I've

had the opportunity

to meet a lady as lovely

as yourself.

You are too nice.

I'm Maxine.

What's your name?

I'm Joe.

And I'm from Hyde Park,

originally.

Oh, that's nice.

My cousin Myrna

lives in Rogers Park.

Really?

It's very nice.

You know...

you are very

nice-looking.

Thank you.

I'm Maxine.

What's your name?

I told you.

It's Joe.

Where are you from, Joe?

Hyde Park.

Oh, that's nice.

My cousin Myrna

lives in Rogers Park.

Good morning, ma'am.

I'm sorry, dear.

I just can't

do it.

I'm... I'm just too old.

I know I promised you,

and I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Grandpa?

Grandpa?

Hey.

This is my home, you can't

just break in here, David.

Actually, I own the place,

so, technically,

it's my home.

And what did

you expect me to do

when you leave a message on

my machine saying good-bye?

I can't do it, David.

I can't take it

anymore.

I'm done.

You're not done, okay?

You're just afraid of

getting hurt.

You're damn right

I'm afraid of getting hurt.

Getting hurt hurts.

I'd rather feel lonely

than to feel this way.

It's just not worth it.

No, it is worth it.

No, it's not,

not for me.

You just need to get more

in your element, okay?

Ditch that old brown suit

that I know

you're wearing,

go and shop for some

new clothes.

You know, get

a little more casual.

And then, find the right place

to look for the ladies.

Will you help me then,

David?

Please?

Look at you.

Grandpa, you the man.

You a player now.

You lookin' sick,

you lookin' dope.

Why the hell would you

dress me like a dope?

All right, so you see

anybody interesting?

What about her?

Isn't she a bit...

large for you?

Not the brunette,

the blond.

Oh, uh, I think

the blond might be

a little advanced

for you, Hef.

Why don't we try

and find someone

a bit more your

own age?

How about her?

Uh...

Another rose for Rose.

Hey!

You stole that rose.

You could go to

jail for that.

Well, that's a risk

I'm willing to take.

That mean you won't

accept it?

Well, I just worry about

what will happen to us

when the police come.

Well, we'll

fight 'em off

like Bonnie and Clyde.

Bonnie and Clyde?

That's a deal.

Oh, listen, I never got your

name when we first met.

It's Joe,

and I'm delighted to

meet you again.

Nice to meet you, too.

Well...

Please excuse me.

Have a beautiful day.

She's got a boyfriend.

I noticed.

Thought I was gonna have to

step in and break up

a fight for

a second there.

Whew!

All right, come on,

shake it off.

How about her?

Down and up.

And up.

Good, good, good.

Okay, um...

All right, listen.

The delt machine's

next on her circuit,

so get over there and do

just like we planned.

The wh... wh...

what machine?

Next to the rhomboid

machine.

What?

Just go, go over there.

All right, Edna,

that was awesome.

Oh, thanks.

You rock.

There's somebody

on the delt machine,

so I'm just gonna

grab another cup

and I'll meet you

at the bike, okay?

- Hey!

- So sorry.

I'm so sorry.

You're...

It's all right, I'll live.

I'm Joe.

Hey, Joe, I'm Edna.

How late?

Really late.

All right, what night

does she go?

Don't know.

Depends on when she runs

out of clothes, I suppose.

Very dirty clothes.

Bloodstains.

Call me.

Ugh.

You're embarrassing me,

David.

What the...

I want you to get out there

and sell me some cars.

Hey there.

What's this?

Uh, our laundry.

Carrie figured you might

as well be productive

while you're stalking

your woman at the Laundromat.

Oh, and, uh, make sure you

wash Carrie's stuff

on the delicate cycle.

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Uh, hi there.

Um, I think your

wash is done.

Thanks, Julie.

Nice bra.

Excuse me?

Your bra, I like it.

It's very sexy.
