So, I had no information to give you.

Still you should call me.

- Right?

- Yes, I know.

- We are still friends, right?

- Yeah.

I'm just. I'm doing some soul-searching you know?

Don't do that.

- We have a plan.

- I know.

- I will.

Do you know they rent clubs

up at the clubhouse.

I'm well aware of that.

I think I'm gonna keep my ass un-kicked today.

Were you looking at him, or where you looking at me?

Acctually I was just sitting here.

Am I doing it wrong?

- I think I saw you in the elevator the other day?

- Oh Yes ...

Acctually, you are being auditted.

My name is Ben Thomas.

I'm with the IRS.

And you owe the gouvernment

$56.240 and 19 cent.

- I know.

- And now, you get me.

Would you have a seat, please.

Miss Posar?

So, I've been looking over the

income statement from last three years.

- 2005, 200 ...

- Were you ...

Were you in my room the other night?

No, ma'am.

I was not in your room the other night.

That's not exactly IRS protocol.

So I've been looking over

-and there seems to be quite a disparity

between what you claimed and. ..

Mr Thomas.

I just got discharged.

So, you know unless you're gonna

call me off to some IRS jail or something-

-I'd really like to get home now.

Sure. No problem.

I'll be in touch.

Welcome to the Travel Inn.

Can I help you?

- I need a room.

- How many hours?

About two weeks.

Alright alright, thats it!

Rico!

Rico, knock it off!

Somebody wanna remind Rico where we are?

In the sanctuary, Coach!

- I can't hear you.

- The sanctuary, coach!

That's right Rico, in the sanctuary.

Now give me 20 stops and starts.

Hi, this is Emily Posa.

I'm not home right now, but please leave

a message and I'll call you back as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Hi, my name is Susan Noah.

I'm calling cuz' a friend of mine

told me to do letter presentations and I was wondering ...

Hello. Hi this is Emily.

Yeah I do wedding invatations.

I'm not able to take any requests though, right now.

I know someone nearby who does it

.

she's not as good as I am, but ah.

Hello?

Duke!?

Duke!?

We're out here!

- Hello, Miss Posa.

- What are you doing here?

- I came to see you.

- Don't you people ever call ahead?

You people, descend to try to hide things.

Is that meat? No! No, no!

No meat! No!

- He was really enjoying it.

- He eats steamed broccoli and Tofu.

- Why?

- He's a vegetarian.

- He is a vegetarian?

- Yes.

Well that sucks.

Can we talk? Do you have a moment?

No. Acctually I have to take Duke for a walk.

No problem.

I'll go with you, if you don't mind.

So I've been looking over

(Sigh)

I'm listening.

- Can I get him for you?

- No. I got him.

- Let me get him, are you alright?

- Yes.

Sorry.

Watch.

Heel!

Maybe we shouldn't feed him meat.

So I've been looking over ...

- Maybe we can do this later.

- Yeah.

So you cook it all ahead a time I see.

No. Acctually I can't

remember the last time I cooked.

This is my sisters way of

looking out for me from afar.

- Do you have any siblings?

- Yes, one brother. He's a good egg.

Yeah, I just have the one sister too.

Have you receiving income from any

source that the government is currently un-aware of?

Lately, i've been taking to

diving in local wishing wells so ...

I mean, it's just occasional

dimes here and there ...

Or once in a while a quarter ...

No acctually I am, I had

to re-finance this place

to pay my past two medical bills

I've been informed that you

suffer from congenital heart failure.

Yes. Did you gather that,

while stalking me at the hospital?

No ...

You're currently status 2.

Which means you are sick enough-

-to be on a national UNO's waiting list-

but not sick enough to be admitted

into the hospital and placed on a status one.

So, basically, if your heart starts to

fail quickly and no donor can be located,

you're screwed.

Is it true that you said,

that you do not believe that you even deserve a

heart because your life is unremarkable

in every way.

I'm sorry.

I don't know why I said that.

I'm Sorry.

Do you have to take any type of sensitivity

training to join the IRS, Mr Thomas?

- No. Not really.

- Yeah.

So you don't consider yourself a good person?

How would you answer that question

If I asked you the same?

Unremarkable would be ...

... an upgrade for me,

I assure you.

I'm Gonna freeze your accountas uncollectable

until further notice.

I'm sure that'll buy you,

five or six months penalty free.

Here's my card.

If anyone at the IRS tries to contact you

you call me immediately.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay.

- Mr. Thomas!

- Yes?

Why do I get the feeling you're

doing me a really big favor right now?

Because I get the feeling

that you really deserve it.

Allright?

Uhm, you off to uh ...

You off to pollute

somebody elses dog now?

No.

- Just going home.

- Where's that?

- Take care, Emily.

- You too.

- What is this thing for?

- Told you already.

- Why are you bringing a fish into your room?

- Because it's my room.

And I don't want anyone to go

into my room, understood?

I don't think you can

keep a fish in you room.

I think I can.

I have never had anybody

who kept a fish in their room.

Now you do.

Good night.

The first time

I ever saw a box jellyfish,

I was twelve.

My father took us

to the Monterey Bay aquarium.

I never forgot when he said that

it was the most deadly creature on earth.

To me it was just ...

... the most beautiful

thing I had ever seen.

I spoke to the doctor again

He'd send over your files in the morning.

- Is this everything?

- Yes.

- Any questions?

- Same one.

Same answer then.

You know, I was thinking last night

About when we were fourteen

and we made our Big Pact.

You remember on the beach,

in front your grandparents house,

We agreed that we would never

never date eachothers girls.

And I remembered that that night-

you told me how much

you liked Stacy Miller-

-and that you were gonna ask her out.

And I said wow, hey man,

you can't her and I already did it.
