The Break-Up Page #6
Well, then what the hell|is that pool table|doing in the dining room?
Because that's a common area.|And that's where this belongs.
Not in my room.|Hey, what are you doing?
It belongs in another|common area.|Gary.
People want to come home|and they want to relax|in their room.
Gary, it is 2:
00|in the morning!Don't you drop my things.|I don't know|what to tell you, kid.
This is how I am|when I'm single.
My hours start to get|pretty strange.
Might be time for you|to think about moving out.
Why would I...|No, I'm not moving anywhere.
Gary, just please|turn the volume down.
Yeah, but I don't tell you|what the hell to do|in your room.
You can doodle. You can dance.
You can bake|a goddamn gingerbread house.
I don't give a sh*t.
But in my room,|I want to relax|and watch my highlights
in complete surround-sound|experience.
What the hell are you doing?|You're not even gonna|watch it!
Don't tell me what I am|or aren't not doing.
Oh, what you are not,|not doing?
Go learn some English.|Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't have a grandfather|on the board of|some fancy college.
Key word being "was."|Did he touch the Filipino|exchange student?
Did he not touch|the exchange student?
I don't know, Brooke.|I wasn't there.|Okay.
No, don't start|with the family stuff.
Like your family's so perfect?|Your brother's a pervert!
Don't talk to me about|the sexual habits|of family members.
What about your sister?
My sister's|been through a lot.|Of dick.
There are some problems, Gary,|but can we please|just leave it...
Problems? She slept with|the entire Arizona Cardinals|offensive line.
That's not problems.|That's she's the problem!
She was on vacation!|She was on vacation.
Don't even get me started,|by the way, on your brother.
If I have to hear|that guy sing|just one more time,
I'd hang myself|with wax dental floss.
Could the guy just|come out of the closet,|please?
Richard is not gay.
Okay, lassie,|I want you to listen to me|and listen good.
I'm not saying|he won't get married.
I'm not saying|he won't even have kids.
But then one day|his wife will come home,
and then she'll find him|with a guy named Majulio,
wearing leather helmets|and clubbing each other|to Yanni's greatest hits.
Yeah. Right. Whatever.|You're an infant.
Yeah, I'm an infant.
Go enjoy your room, Brooke,|'cause I'm gonna enjoy mine!
Okay.|You know what?
I might enjoy|some pay-per-view|options tonight.
It's gonna be a long one,|sweetheart,
and I got nothing to do maana|but sleep in.
(DOOR SLAMMING)
(BOOGIE NIGHTS PLAYING)
(SINGING) Boogie nights|Ain't no doubt|we are here to party
What are you doing?
Boogie nights|Come on now,|got to get it started
Ricky, you and|the Get Along Gang leave
or I'm gonna|throw you out of here|personally, you understand?
Actually, Gary,|this is Brooke's bedroom.
So, technically,|you don't have|jurisdiction here,
but I think it'd be really fun|if you sang with us.
Come on, Gary.|I think you'll like it.
You got 10 seconds|to get out of here
or I'm gonna break|your damn magic whistle.
You understand|what I'm saying to you?
Move this group|out of my house, now!
(EXCLAIMING)
(GRUNTING)
(ALL SINGING)
Gary, you can't take|a pitch pipe|out of a guy's hand
when he's in the middle|of a very funky groove.
You can get hurt|doing something like that.
I'm tapping out,|I'm tapping out!
Here we go. From the bridge.
(SINGING) Party night|Get on down|with the sound of the music
Boogie nights|Do it, do it
What kind of bullshit move|was that?
I'm sorry. What?|What happened?|Oh, don't be coy with me.
You sent that animal over here|to attack me when I was|hung over and weak.
Oh, no. Look, all I know|is The Tone Rangers,
they needed someplace|to rehearse,
so I very clearly|told Richard,|"Stay in my room,"
which you explained to me|was my space to do|with what I want.
Is that how|you want to play it?|'Cause I'll play it like that.
I'll play it like|Lionel Richie.
All night long, lady.|Oh, yeah.
I'll call some guys|from my neck of the woods.
And we're not talking, Brooke,
about a couple of queens|who know a few grapples.
We're talking about Polacks|that don't have|a goddamn future.
Right.|That's right!
We can make sh*t|real uncomfortable|around here,
and that's what|we're gonna do.
Please. Come on.|You know what?
You're just embarrassed|because Richard|kicked your ass.
Richard did not kick my ass.
What Richard did was attack me|when I was half asleep.
Really?|Is that how you see it?
There's a really big gap|between getting|your ass kicked
and having|a dancing, singing sprite|fool you with trickery
and then strike your throat|before you know that|you're even in a fight.
And I wouldn't expect|someone like you|to understand that,
because all you ever do|is make moves from|up in your ivy tower.
Wow. You have officially|gone off the reservation.
I'm an adult.|I talk through sh*t.|He ran out of ideas.
God. Listen, by the way,|there's messages|on the voice mail
regarding game night,|which is obviously|not gonna happen,
so you might want to|call people and tell them|that it's canceled.
Why would I cancel game night?|Well, I mean...
If it's our turn to host game,|I'm gonna host|goddamn game night.
You want to host game night?|I'm fine, Brooke.
I don't have any strangeness|over what happened here today.
Okay.
If there's anyone|that should feel weird|about seeing people,
that's you, Tonya Harding.|Me? I'm gonna honor|my commitments.
Great.|Great.
Fine.|Fine.
Let's do that.|Let's do that.
Let's honor the commitment.
(WATER RUNNING)
Hey, there's no food in there!|BROOKE: So?
Well, people are gonna|be here in an hour.|What are they supposed to eat?
You're a big boy.|Figure it out.
Oh, great.|Well, that's what we got.
We have only tap water|because, you know,|Gary didn't shop.
BROOKE:
And we don't have|any ice either 'cause|he didn't fill the trays.That's trash. It's your shot.|What is your name again?
Diane.|Diane.
GARY:
Did you call?|JOHNNY O: I called the five.Well, yeah,|but you didn't call|the second ball,
so that's trash,|so it's your shot.
GARY:
You got to play|by the rules. It's your shot.Hi.|Hi.
Andrew.|BROOKE:
Oh, hi.Whoa, whoa, whoa!|Hey, hey, hey!
These two Benedict Arnolds|aren't welcome in my condo.
Who sent an invite to them?|I'm sorry.
These are very loyal friends|and they are always welcome|in my condo.
Oh, really? Why don't we|take it to a vote and see|who has the numbers this time?
GARY:
All right.|Show of hands here.Who thinks that these two|traitors should leave and|not be a part of game night?
And maybe take their shirts|off when they leave.
Raise your hand.|I know I feel that way.|Who else?
GARY:
Come on, Johnny O,|put your hand up, please.Come on. Thank you.|You, Miss? New girl.
Who's the girl?|What's her name?|What's her name?
The girl you're with.|What's her name?|Her name's Diane.
Oh, I'm sorry.|You might want to go ahead|and touch some sky.
Thank you. Come on,|Riggleman, please?|What are you doing?
