Return to Zero Page #4
You got to throw some chum
in the water, distract him.
I'll drive.
You think I can put
"thrown as chum" on my resume?
Why don't I just run in
and take care of it?
No, I'm fine.
Thanks.
Nothing good
can last forever
Oh, hi.
Grab that.
Can I help you?
Do you have the receipt?
Uh-Huh. Right there.
Oh, I'm sorry.
This is over 60 days.
We don't take returns
or exchanges after 60 days.
But that's what
a gift receipt is for.
Sorry. Store policy.
Um...
could you... make an exception
just this one time, please?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm not authorized to do that.
Ma'am?
Don't call her ma'am.
Ma'am?
Can we talk to a manager?
I am the manager.
Oh, good,
Because, um, I'd like a refund.
I'm not giving you a refund.
You know what?
Let me explain something to you.
There have been some
extenuating circumstances.
I've been a little busy
With something
a little more important
Than returning this present
to your cheap-Ass store.
Oh. You know what I think
of your return policy?
Here, let me show you.
See, this is actually
pretty cute, but...
that is what I think
of your return policy!
I'm calling the police!
Mags, wait!
Maggie! Maggie!
Come on.
Oh, I don't think
we ordered those.
I did.
You need this.
You've been cooped up too long.
You're right.
I do need it.
I'm really sorry.
What you guys went through,
No one should have to
go through that.
And that memorial service...
good god.
This'll blow your mind.
If we had had a tombstone,
The date of birth
Would have been the day after
the date of death.
Could I get two more?
Thanks.
Thank you.
This whole experience has been like that.
Let me live vicariously
through your crazy-Ass life.
What's going on?
Well, I'm still dating
that douche bag.
Thatagirl.
I'd break up with him,
but he has a huge...
of course.
Yeah.
Length, girth?
Length, moron. Geez.
Three beers,
and you're already sloppy.
You're not getting laid tonight.
Yeah, well...
poor Geddy Lee.
Who is Geddy Lee?
The lead singer of rush.
You are old.
He is also the head
of the rhythm section
Of my personal
humpty-hump band.
Hmm.
Poor little Geddy Lee.
Geddy lee is not little.
He is of average to...
maybe above-Average height.
I'm sure he'll be able
to lay some sweet beats down
Once the band
gets back together.
He's a bassist.
Too bad.
I'm a sucker for drummers.
Did you lose your keys?
Are you ready
for a good time?
Tick and tocking
till the sun shines...
Hi, Christine, Kathleen.
How nice to see you.
You look wonderful.
Oh, thank you.
How are the boys?
Oh, my oldest is off to college.
Time to party!
Oh, my...
Maggie, last time I saw you,
you were out to here!
How's the baby?
Where do I put the...
Why don't I take it?
And I'll get a glass
of champagne.
So insensitive.
And she's wearing my jacket.
I'm just gonna
put the gift down.
Oh, h...
Oh, run. Run away.
I am contagious.
Thank you.
Honey, it's hard for people.
They don't know
what to say to you.
I'm sure it's very hard
for people.
Hi.
Hi.
Thank you so much
for coming. Aww.
It's okay.
Oh, you look beautiful!
Trish! Oh, my goodness.
Thank you.
Maggie, doesn't she look
beautiful?
Did you feel him move?
Yeah.
Everything's fine.
Seriously, he's kicking so much,
I feel like
I'm carrying Jackie chan.
Okay.
That's Maureen Chadwick.
Oh, my gosh.
I haven't seen her
since the divorce.
I think she had some work done.
Go say hi, mom.
I'll be right back.
Hi, Maureen! You look great!
...hope you're ready
for a good time
I'm happy you came.
But if this is
too much too soon, it's...
No, no. It's fine.
Okay.
Yeah.
We have a bar, if that helps.
It might.
Okay.
Boy, you're really fat.
I know.
Ooh, incoming, 11:00.
Oh, who is it?
It's Annie.
Oh, Jesus...
Hi, Trish.
- Beautiful shower.
- Thank you.
Maggie...
can I give you a hug?
Um, yeah.
Sure.
Oh, okay. Thank you.
I saw you across the room,
And I was moved to come over
here and say something.
Oh, okay.
What happened doesn't make
sense, Maggie, not to us.
God's will is impossible
for us to understand,
But he wants you to know that
he loves you and your son...
Annie, sweetie, I don't think
this is helping very much.
And I pray...
I pray that you realize
That god is a light
for each of us to follow
To find our way to his plan...
a plan which is perfect
in every single way.
Annie.
Yes, Maggie.
Tell me more
about this perfect plan.
It's a mystery.
It is a mystery.
It is.
But it is perfect.
You must have faith in that.
So... so, god's perfect plan
for me
Could be to suffer a loss
so great, so devastating,
That I would
lose my faith in god.
Is that right?
'Cause that is a mystery.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I can't really be here.
Okay. Okay.
It's okay.
Have fun.
Okay.
All right.
I'm sorry.
Thanks, Annie.
That was fantastic.
Runs over a man!
Oh, and he's finally tripped up
at the 42 of Minnesota!
Catch the ball!
Can you get that?!
Fourth quarter!
You're closer!
Texas Christian coming
the long way across the field
Just in time to make that...
Trick or treat!
One sec.
One sec?
Oh!
Dude.
Because they can't all be treats, kids.
This is wrong.
Did he just give you rocks?
Aaron!
Hey, uh, I'm sorry.
Um, hold on.
Hold on one second.
Oh, my god!
You are such an ass!
Hold on!
I got...
I got some... gum.
And... I'm really sorry.
We're not prepared this year.
My mom won't let us eat it
if it's already unwrapped.
She's right.
Come on, guys.
Let's go somewhere else.
She's... She's right.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, let's go somewhere else.
I'm sorry! Sorry!
Happy Halloween!
You gave kids rocks?
Oh, yeah.
I mixed my metaphors.
That's Christmas.
That's coal, moron.
Must be the...
Oh, yeah.
And I missed a touchdown.
Thank you for ruining this.
Oh, I ruin everything now, huh?
Not everything.
Just some things.
Just some things.
Just some things!
My first pastry class...
oh, my god, Maggie!
It was so wonderful!
I spent four hours making this.
Wow!
It's a macaroon.
Yeah.
My first.
I made it for you because
you were the one person
Who gave me the courage
to follow my dream.
Oh, you were right!
All I had to do was...
Was visualize it.
I love the kitchen, Maggie.
I am the kitchen.
It's where I belong.
And how does that feel
in your body?
Oh, I feel like I'm...
Like I'm floating,
Like if my arms are wings.
I have goose bumps on my legs.
Like right now,
anything is possible.
Maggie?
Yeah, that must feel amazing.
You hold onto that feeling
'Cause that's a really important
resource for you.
Are you all right?
It's fine.
Is this about the miscarriage?
It wasn't a miscarriage.
I had a miscarriage once, too.
You get over these things
in time.
Don't you cry, don't be shy
stand up straight,
here it comes
say goodbye, don't you cry,
hold yourself, don't forget
you are strong, move along
