Rudderless
So this is the part where we say goodbye
I promise I'll try to make it
stick this time
with you 'cause
The more bitter it got, the better
the making up with you was
the following things
I'm an a**hole and you're kinda needy
I said it was casual
And you pretended to believe me
Our glass is empty
At our best it was only half full
I only love you when you're leaving
And I'm an a**hole
- Mary Beth?
- Yeah?
Hold on.
- Can you do a dinner run?
- Sure.
- You know what time it is?
- Sandwiches?
- How long we going to do this?
- We're going to do it until it's right.
Gotta call my wife.
Stuck in your confines
Chewin' it over
Caught in your headlights
Stop staring...
Hey, you seen Stiles?
Nah? I guess it's no.
...employees. Not in billing.
Not in awards even.
We're right back here.
I think everyone knows everyone.
- Hi, Carl.
- Brent.
- Good to see you again.
- Good to see you, Keri.
Thank you so much for coming.
- If you wouldn't mind sitting right here?
- Sure.
You have a presentation pack
in front of you
if you want to get a sneak peek at...
I guess what I'm trying to say, Carl,
is that the other four agencies
are probably laughing at the fact
that we're even in the running
for your business.
We're not laughing.
- Hey, Dad.
- Where are you?
I'm at the library.
- Meet me at the Belle.
- No, I got class.
Cut it.
Weren't you supposed to be riding me
about going to class?
Hey, I'm payin' for it. I say cut it,
all right? Get somebody else's notes.
Your old man just
knocked one out of the park,
and I wanna celebrate with you.
Whatever happened to free choice?
No, that's a myth.
Come on, I'm already in the car.
I'll meet you in half an hour.
Hey, it's Josh, leave a message.
Yup, it's me again.
Not cool blowin' off your dad.
All right, well,
call me over the weekend.
Bye.
Hey, can I...
Can I get some volume on this?
Hey, excuse me! Can I get some sound?
Can you turn this up, please?
A tragedy of this magnitude...
Absolutely heartbreaking.
And the fact that it happened
in our own backyard, unbelievable.
We have Lisa Martin on the scene.
And, Lisa...
- Anything?
- No.
an Honor Roll student...
Well, all you can do
is be there for him.
...just passed behind me,
obviously distraught.
Family members tell me that
ever since she was a little girl,
Sarah had dreamed of becoming a nurse.
- ...quite a bit.
- Yeah.
They were young, that's what counts.
You be strong.
Thank you for coming.
I'd have walked if I had to.
I'm going to be so worried about you.
Brent and I want you to know that
we are here for you.
You have got to let go of this, honey.
Just cry.
You're just being too strong
Give me a call, sweetie, okay?
Oh, God.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Tamburg said I could come up.
I'm Kate.
I was Josh's...
Sod of, we dated.
For about a year.
That's me.
You're his dad, right?
You're Sam.
Highly of you.
He was always very sweet to me.
Honey.
I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry.
- I know, honey.
I just don't know
what I'm supposed to do.
I know.
Okay! It's him.
We got him.
All right, let's rock and roll.
Okay, lemme get a three-quarter shot.
Good, good, good.
Catch him out of the car.
Catch him out of the car.
Mr. Manning! Have you spoken to any of
the other parents?
Has anybody been in contact with you?
Mr. Manning, how was the funeral?
Just a statement. Mr. Manning!
Mr. Manning! Please, just one second.
Mr. Manning, how is your ex-wife?
F***!
Oh, sh*t.
Hey, excuse me.
Do you have a back way out?
Yeah... An exit?
You do? Oh, never mind.
Just keep it.
Mr. Manning?
Mr. Manning! I hate to bother you.
Oh, yeah? Well, if you hated it so much,
you wouldn't be doin' it, would you?
Do you feel that the school bears any
responsibility for...
You know, lemme ask you
a question first.
You're a headless,
bottom-feeding motherf***er.
Well, I guess it's not
really a question, is it?
- Sam.
- Hey. I'm fine. I'm okay. I'm serious.
Hey, hey, hey.
- Sam!
- Does that seem like I'm not okay?
You shouldn't be here, okay?
You should probably go home.
Hey, hey. Wanna come inside?
Check how fine I really am.
Sam!
How nice to see you, too!
She can't keep her hands off me.
- Professional help.
- Yes, yes, yes.
How many times did you go see him?
Well, I mean,
I didn't actually see the guy yet, but...
I didn't see him, but I did talk to him
on the phone, and... Nice guy.
Listen.
We're doing fine here.
Take the time that you need to...
Hey, hey.
I appreciate that concern. I really do.
But what I need is to work.
What I need is to come in here every day
and I'm gonna sell some tacos.
Okay? I gotta write some catchy copy
and I gotta put on a suit, tie and smile.
Face the future.
That...
That's what I need.
Sam, I need to talk to you.
Late for work. Catch me tonight.
No, this is important.
Late for work, doin'.
No, this is important! I implore you.
We can walk and talk.
Was beginning to wonder if you needed a
written invitation to come to work today.
No invitation necessary.
Days with these fine gentlemen
is what I get out of bed for.
Don't be late again.
You know what I'm sayin'?
Don't be late again.
Yeah, you wouldn't wanna
lose this job, huh?
You wanna get a beer after work?
Me and Carlos are gonna go over
to Trill to get some.
I don't drink.
You best check your cologne,
because you smell like you drink.
Evenin'.
Don't call me whore in the morning
Don't call me baby when you want me
in your bed
Then you leave me
at 4:
00 in the morningin the balls instead
Then you tell me that you're sorry
And that the girl that I saw you at
the Walmart with wasn't anybody...
Hey, man, I didn't think
you were gonna make it.
Yeah, what you drinkin'?
I'm gonna get a Mustang Wheat.
No lemon.
Wheat?
But I talked to your cousin
and she told me that that girl is a whore
You're a whore!
She's the whore! She's the whore!
Don't call me whore in the morning
Don't call me baby when you want me...
So what's your story anyway, man?
I mean,
why you paintin' houses? And don't
give me that sh*t about NASA again.
All right, promise you won't tell?
I'm in the witness protection program.
I fingered Gotti.
Fine. Don't tell me.
I don't give a sh*t. Dick.
As a reminder not to date a**holes
And throw my life away
I'm not the whore!
You're the whore! You're the whore!
Thank you.
Okay! That was... That was Peaches.
Thank you, Peaches.
Next we have Nic Harvard.
Nic! Come on up!
It was a long, long time ago
and far, far away
like every other day
Found myself on broken streets
wanderin' around
Lookin' for a place
that I can lay my troubles down
Hey, stranger.
You're not really gonna
stroll up acting like
we're running into
one another at the mall?
