would want to do this.

- I don't know.

I think I've been

having a hard time

committing to anything.

- Sh*t, I know how

that is.

But with me -

its women

There's just too

many of them.

Probably one of them now.

This dipshit...

What's up dickweed?

Haha, no, man I'm

moving a house today

Yeah, man, totally

bummed.

Hey sounds good,

bring the babes.

B*tches and hoes,

you know how I roll.

Oh nice!

Dude, I just found

the old lady's

liquor cabinet.

Looks like this is

going to be a

fun weekend.

Hey, hand me

one of those boxes.

Hell yeah, but I ain't

sharing with you b*tch.

Yeah, because you're

a f***ing lightweight?

Haha

Yeah, keep dreaming.

Damn, I think granny

liked drinking, huh?

F***ing alcoholic b*tch.

Good for her.

Alright, leave this here.

Don't touch it.

Start cleaning out

the fridge, just

throw everything in

a big trashbag

I'm going to start going

through this b*tch's clothes

Start working on the

bathroom when you're

done with the fridge.

Don't you touch

that f***ing liquor.

I don't want that

sh*t on my truck.

Just leave it on

the curb.

Where's your little

boyfriend?

Huh?

- That other dude, is

he inside taking a sh*t

or something?

- I don't know, I

thought he was out

here on the truck.

- That shithead.

He's probably inside

jerking off or something.

YO!

Dude, we got work

to do, what the f***!

Dude, you better not be

sleeping on the job.

- I think his name's Dale.

I don't give a flying f***!

Oh, God f***ing damnit!

Goddamn F***.

Jesus F***ing Christ!

Dale, where the f***

are you?

Dale!

F***!

F***ing prick.

Dale, where the f***

are you?

Jesus titty f***ing Christ!

F***ing damnit!

Dale, where the f***

are you?

God!

I'm not paying sh*t,

your man just

stole my property

and vanished.

No, I didn't give

it to him, he just

snuck off with a

box full of liquor.

I don't know where

the hell he went!

Manforce, more like

shitforce.

Do you have

anyone working there

who's not a

complete f*** up?

I have no problem

coming down there right now.

No, f*** you!

- Every now and then

I get a little bit lonely

and you never

come around

- Every now and then

I get a little bit tired

listening to the sound

of my tears

Every now and then

I get a little bit

nen/ous that the

best of all the years

have gone by.

Every now and then

I get a little bit

terrified and then I see

the look in your eyes.

Every now and then

I fall apart.

Every now and then

I fall apart

and I need you

more tonight

yeah, I need you more

than ever.

If you only

hold me tight

we'll be holding

on forever.

Yeah, we'll always be

making it right

we can never be

wrong

together we can make

it to the end

of the line

Your love is like

a shadow on me

all the time

Need you tonight.

Always in the dark,

we're living in a powder

cake and giving off

sparks

I really need you tonight.

Forever's going to start

tonight...

Forever's going to start to...

Once upon a time

I was falling in love

Now I'm only falling

apart...

Nothing I can do,

a total eclipse of the heart

- Judy, hey,

Its Katrina

I'm looking at today's

paperwork and it says

that Buster is on

the unadoptable list.

Is this a mistake?

Yeah, dog C57

But it must be a mistake.

Buster's the sweetest

dog here.

Everybody loves Buster.

I know, I know...

Really,

Buster's different.

He really is the

best dog here.

Please you have to

take him off the list.

Fine.

We have to get

you adopted Buster.

- Now I don't know

how much longer

I can handle this

temping.

Why don't you get

me a PA job?

I mean it seems a

whole lot like temping

just better pay and

less crazy people.

- I've told you need

a car to be a PA.

- And I have Otis's car

- Yeah, I can't really

imagine a producer

being impressed with a

PA who's driving

his grandpa around

everywhere.

Or step-grandpa,

whatever he is...

Being a PA is

a lot of work

Its really stressful.

If there's one thing

you've made clear

its that you don't

like working.

- Well, I suppose I

can't argue with that.

I still think this

whole "have to

have a car" thing

is kind of fascist, though

You know I just need

to make some money

so I can go back

to school

This working stuffy

is killing me.

So where's Aubrey?

I know you didn't

plan this meal for me.

We got in a

big fight last night.

And now she's

giving me the silent

treatment.

She totally freaked

out about my

new MySpace persona.

- Don't you guys have

like 80 of those?

- This one got her

really jealous

for some reason.

You know how

irrational she gets

sometimes.

I've been

corresponding with this

one particular guy

who's like a

high school teacher

and he thinks I'm

one of his students.

- Yeah, see Chloe,

that is a little f***ed up.

- I know but

its like I've gotten

addicted to performing

under a fake persona.

When I shed

my identity I

can do anything.

- Yeah, actually, I

know how that goes.

But for me its

karaoke.

Diamond Dave on

the mic.

Here I am...

Rock you like a hurricane

- When's the last time

you actually sang karaoke?

Excluding all the times

that you practice

in your bedroom, of course.

- What?

Are you stoned or

something? I do not

practice karaoke in my

bedroom.

- Whatever. I guess

you just get so

swept up by the

emotional power of

Total Eclipse of the

Hean

you don't realize you're

belting it out at

the top of your lungs.

- Total Eclipse of the

Heart is one of

the most underrated

songs of all time.

- I know, I know.

But seriously when

is the last time

you actually went out

and sang karaoke?

I go out. I go out

and do karaoke

all the time.

Remember that night

at the Alibi

when those girls tried

to depends me?

I had the whole

place singing along.

- Yeah, that was a

good night for you.

But it was like

two years ago.

Have you actually

sang karaoke

since then? Publicly?

- Well, you know,

I don't want to

wear out my audience

or anything.

- Oh, yes. I can

definitely see the

danger in that.

- I'm sorry to bother

you, Mr. Bear, but

Has there been

any calls about Kelly?

'Kelly?

- Well, um, you

know, the urn.

The ashes of the

little girl.

- Oh. No, no

one's called.

You know, its

possible the owner

passed away.

I wouldn't worry

yourself about it.

Its been reported, so

let headquarters deal

with it.

HS HO1 OUT COFICGTFI.

- Yes, Mr. Bear.

Crap

- That looks so good

on you.

- You like it?

- Oh, I love it.

- I saw Brian today

with his new girlfriend.

This all happened so fast.

I have to stop

checking his e-mail.

I need to think

of something else

and just get my

mind off this.

I need to work

on my audition video.

I need to stay

focused on that.

- I found this sign

for a missing urn

that someone at the

thrift store found

At first I thought

it was kind of funny

but now I just think

its really sad...

I wonder how many

urns get lost.

- I guess an urn

is like a family

heirloom or something.
