Places like this make me
feel like sh*t.
Why?
I don't know.
My dad used to take me to
places like this
...when he won at the track.
you know?
be just like them,
but we weren't.
Not even close.
And I never want to be
like my dad, so...
I never want to be like
these people.
But they look so happy.
"I simply must have that
Mercedes in medium sky-blue.
Not light sky-blue,
and not dark sky-blue."
"I need those papers on my desk
by seven a.m. sharp. No excuses.
[LAUGHS]
"And how was your day,
Chazwick?"
"I sold some stocks.
And some bonds...
and then, I shot three under
par-r-r at the club."
"Hmph. Lovely."
"And you?"
"I had my nails done
and lunched with the girls."
"I myself took a..."
[CLEARS THROAT]
"A long, long lunch. And, um,
bought myself a new suit."
"My, don't you look dapper."
[LAUGHS]
"Thank you."
[LAUGHTER]
And how, how was Zoe's day?
I played a game of Scrabble
Wait, were you... were you
playing Scrabble or bingo?
Bingo's when you use
all 7 tiles in one word.
Oh!
That is amazing. And I managed
to go all the live-long day
without referring
to someone as an a**hole.
That's amazing!
Yes. I also met
this fine gentleman
at a job interview
who shared my passion
for pistachios.
[LAUGHS]
We're going into business
together.
I'll be a millionaire
by the end of the week.
That's nuts!
Yes. I'll be King of the nuts.
[LAUGHS]
Sounds like we've both had a
really good day.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
I had fun tonight, Mucky.
Yeah.
It didn't suck.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
[LAUGHTER]
[MUFFLED LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER]
[MOAN]
Woo!
Thank God you bought that
family-size box of condoms.
That's the first time wishful
thinking has ever paid off!
Plus you save a lot when
you buy in bulk.
[LAUGHTER]
[DOORBELL]
Finally, pizza! I'm starving.
[DOORBELL]
God damn 'im.
he's supposed to f***ing
take the money
from underneath the mat
and leave the pizza.
[DOORBELL, DOORBELL, DOORBELL]
Dammit! Can't anybody follow
directions anymore!?! [DOORBELL]
Leave the pizza, take the money!
[KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK]
The guy from Hong Kong Kitchen
last night
knew what the
hell he was doing!
Take the pizza, leave the money!
Reverse it, flip it, put it on
your dick and stick it!
[LAUGHS] Oh my God!
[SCREAM!]
Why would Mom think I was dead?
Because your work called and
told her you were dead.
- They called Mom?
- Yes, they called your mother.
- And she sent you?
- Yes.
Well, tell her I'm fine. I just
forgot to charge my phone.
For three days?
Who's the homeless guy?
- He's
- Your boyfriend?
Well I hope he's got a job,
because you're obviously not
going to have one anymore.
I haven't taken a vacation day
in three years.
You know this was a really bad
day to pull this sh*t, Zoe.
[SCOFFS] the kids have...
forget it.
Well I'm glad I'm alive!
What's one more day?
If they think I'm dead, they'll
hire someone else.
- Can anyone else do your job?
- Mucky.
Look, once you leave this
apartment, you'll be out there,
and you'll realize what a
huge mistake you've made,
and then you will never, ever
come back here to me.
to your apartment
and pack up all your stuff.
What?
Pack it up, haul it over,
I have plenty of room here.
You know I'm not
exactly housebroken.
What, you're going to
pee on my rug?
- I'll get you a litter box.
- [LAUGHS]
What if your b*tch
sister comes back?
She's not the b*tch,
she's the nice one.
You know that's very funny,
because I've actually been
studying this uh, art...
- ...it's called Tantra.
- Oh really?
It's very sensual...
Are you serious?
Oh my three's company!
Too much Me TV.
It's like she just raided Mr.
Roper's closet of death.
I can hear you.
Oh, I'm sorry, we thought
you were dead.
No, I wasn't dead.
I was having sex.
For thirty-six hours...
and eating take-out.
With who?
My boyfriend.
Oh really, your boyfriend?
Yeah, my boyfriend.
Oh, and I told him
all about you Ken,
and he thinks
you're an a**hole.
- What's your boyfriend's name?
- Yeah, anyone we know?
No, you don't know him...
His name is Marty Huckhound.
Oh, and do I have to worry about
Marty Huckhound beating me up?
I don't know, I think he might
be bigger than you Ken,
but he's probably from Canada!
[LAUGHTER!]
Bunch of goddamn teenagers!
Uuuhhh!
Oh, that was good...
So back to this back rub...
# So it turns out that
life you lived, #
# And all those people
that you thought you knew... #
# They don't give a
f*** about you #
# You've got to kill yourself,
kill yourself #
# Hang on, what about life?
# Hang on, who f***ing cares!
# Kill yourself, yeah!
You're here!
You decided to move in.
I got you a present.
- Ta daaah
- A sock!
I love it. To make sock monkeys.
There's a matching
one in the bag.
I saw you had a monkey
with no arms.
Yeah.
What do you want to name it?
Uhhhh, I don't.
But you have to name him.
You gave him his arms.
Ummm, Mr. Sock.
Uh, okay. Doctor
Foot-Sheath the Third.
Uh, Goddamn monkey-face,
demon-boy!
Do you like that name?
Tell Mucky you like that name.
No, no monkey!
- Mucky you're not afraid
of monkeys are you?
- They're evil.
- They're socks!
So you are scared of
sock-monkeys...
and you bought me socks, knowing
full well what I'd turn them into?
That is so sweet.
- I'm scared of a lot of things too.
- Like what?
Like global warming, or plaid,
or briefcases...
Ahhh! Mucky, did you know
there's a man on our patio?
and now I don't have a my place.
Wait, this is all your stuff?
There's an empty jar of
peanut butter there.
Hi, I'm Zoe.
I'm Lewis.
Hi Lewis, nice to meet you.
I hope you're hungry.
Are you a child of the Lord?
Excuse me?
Are you a child of the Lord?
I thought you were talking
to the sandwich.
[LAUGHS]
You sure act like one.
Marty, this is Mr. Davies.
He has a few questions for you
about your application.
[PEN CLICKING]
[PEN CLICKING]
[PEN CLICKING]
Uh, thanks for seeing me, man.
Zoe recommends you, and
I'd really like to hire you.
They've got me doing
this job now,
and I don't know how much
longer I can take it.
Are you good with people?
Uh yeah, I guess.
Because the people you will be
working with are quite frankly
horrible, awful people
who want nothing more
than to take all of life's
frustrations out onto you.
Yeah, people can be
real a**holes.
You ever kill a man, Marty?
Nope, can't say I have.
Excellent. You're hired.
# You can't stop me now
# you know, you're never gonna
take me alive, everybody #
Okay.
This is invalid.
You need to fill out form 2010.
Not here. Fill it out and
get back in line.
I've been in line
for four hours.
If you've got any complaints,
save it for Mr. Huckhound.
I'll tell you what, lady!
Tell your kid not to run three
red lights on his driver's test
