What happened ... really?

Why would not I ask that of you?

You just disappeared, Margo.

What a f***ing obvious move!

You think that everything would be worked out

if you just do the right move?

It must be thrilling.

I think it's thrilling.

I do not agree.

Do not! Do not do that.

I am the embarrassment? Me?

Do you know we are doing

the same f***ing thing here?

Okay, I do not understand

what you're trying to say.

I think you're a bigger idiot than I am.

I think you're really f***ed up, Margo.

In the big picture ...

Life has a gap in it and we are just us.

You do not go crazy to fill it in,

like some lunatic.

Talking about f***ing up...

Okay, let's go.

It was kind of fun.

It's harder to talk ...

honestly ... with people

when you are sober ...

As I'm sure you can imagine, officer.

You f*** any prostitutes lately?

- Smash any big faces ?

- Get in the car, please.

You see, it's fun.

Am I driving?

Sorry.

Tony really wanted you here, and

I did not know what to do ...

Jerry ... and just you, too.

No, no, that's okay.

I should have called.

I just did not know what to say.

It is hard to know, I guess.

How are you?

Okay. Actually, unexpectedly ...

Finally ... ... Okay.

Your book did really well.

Really, did you see?

Thank you, I know.

Who would expect that people like

chicken so much?

And in so many different ways.

We'll see how the chicken sequel does.

You're writing a sequel?

No, do not be silly.

It is on Guinea hens and pheasants.

- Yes?

- No, you moron, no.

How is your life?

- You mean am I seeing anyone?

- No!

I do not want to ... Yes.

Sometimes.

No, not really.

Do you ever think ...?

No, I don't.

I don't think so.

You said you're not seeing...

Some things you do in life,

they stick...

- I'm so sorry ...

- There is no reason to be sorry...

... How could you be sorry for doing

what you had to do?

But I did not think that ...

We did not have this conversation then...

...I'm really not interested in having it now.

Naturally. Sorry. I got it.

I'm so sorry .

Will you let me know, if there is anything

that I can do for Tony,

or Jerry or ... for you?

Yes, I think we'll be okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey, Margo!

Yeah.

I just bought a new melon baller ...

And ... I'd like to

gouge out your eyeballs with it.

Yeah, me too.

Bye, Margo.

Bye, Lou.
