[TV CONTINUES PLAYING]

What'd we do last night?

Lot of trick-or-treaters?

Any candy left?

Business was good.

You give out one a piece

like I told you?

What does that mean?

Come on, Victor,

you got your hearing aid in.

- What happened?

- They took it all, Jimmy.

They... they took it all?

Who took it all?

- Aladdin.

- Aladdin?

One kid?

You let one kid

take all the candy?

I thought you were gonna

sit outside with it.

Well, I pu... I put on

the dummy's clothes,

because I wanted to make

believe I was the dummy.

I wanted to scare 'em, but then,

they all rolled up on me

at once and I got scared.

Got scared to scare them.

JIMMY:
Mugged by a bunch

of little shits with

- pillow cases.

- Aladdin.

Eh, listen, shake it off.

F*** those kids.

Next year,

I'm getting 'em apples.

- DONNIE:
Hey Jimmy.

- JIMMY:
Morning.

- Hey, Jimmy.

- DONNIE:
How you doing?

You didn't come home last night.

I was doing inventory.

I was here all night.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Besides, you're okay

by yourself, right?

JIMMY:

You didn't have any problems.

Outside the thing

with the goddamn candy,

you did all right

by yourself, right?

How's it going, Vic?

What's the frequency

down here, buddy?

Hey, did you guys hear

they're shooting a big old movie

down there in the park?

JIMMY:
Yeah, we heard.

Vic's all excited,

he's gonna head

over there tonight, right Vic?

Yeah,

it's a John Travolta movie,

but he's not gonna be there.

He's in Hollywood.

Hey, you know, Vic,

You ought to take

your fiddle down there.

You never know, they might give

you a big part or something.

PHIL:

He's right on that one, Victor.

You ever notice

they're always hiring somebody

to do something

in the background.

It's not a fiddle, Donnie,

it's a violin.

DONNIE:
Whatever, same thing.

It's not like we've ever

seen you play the damn thing.

All right, leave him alone.

He's had a rough night.

They took all his candy.

DONNIE:
They took his candy?

- Who?

- JIMMY:
Aladdin, that's who.

Are you all right?

Somebody gonna look at you?

[DOOR OPENS]

- Hey, Leo.

- No.

What was I gonna say?

Am I getting any more

f***ing new Hank Snow records?

- Yeah.

- He's been dead,

um, 20 years now,

so he ain't gonna be

making any new albums.

I know he's dead.

So, stop asking me,

you chucklehead.

VICTOR:
You give me no joy, Leo.

They're filming a movie here,

you know.

- Who's they?

- They.

Never heard of 'em.

I might go over there tonight

and watch.

You never know.

- VICTOR:
See ya' later, Leo.

- Okay, Vic.

- Long day.

You all right?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

- Yeah?

Where's Freddy?

Getting ready for work.

He was home all day?

Yeah.

Didn't wanna wake him.

Why you ask?

Don't know, just asking.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Oh, look at f***ing Victor, man.

Ta-doo, ta-doo, ta-doo.

[LAUGHING]

Yo, he thinks it's a real

phone booth.

[CHUCKLING]

Moron.

[CHUCKLING]

MAN:
We should do something.

Yo, let's flip it!

[GLASS SHATTERING]

Jimmy, you need to get down

to Broad Street.

- Why, what's up?

- It's, uh, your brother Vic.

[GROANING]

[CRYING]

- Hey!

- Oh, oh, oh.

- Hey, what happened?

- Wait, who are you?

- I'm his brother.

- VICTOR:
Jimmy?

- Jimmy!

- What the f*** happened?

MAN:
We heard a crash

and this is what we found.

Jimmy, get me outta here!

Victor, we're gonna get you out.

You gotta relax.

- I'm stuck, Jimmy, I'm stuck!

- Okay, relax, breathe.

- Just breathe.

- Okay.

- JIMMY:
I'm here.

- Jimmy!

- Okay, I'm here now.

- [VICTOR SOBBING]

- Jimmy, get me...

- [GRUNTING]

[BUZZING]

- JIMMY:
What's wrong?

- [YELLING]

Victor, what's wrong?

JIMMY:
What's wrong?

Oh, my hearing aid,

Jimmy, my hearing aid!

Take the hearing aid out,

Victor.

I can't reach it,

Jimmy, I'm stuck!

- Okay, relax...

- Jimmy, Jimmy!

[HIGH-PITCHED BUZZING]

Cover your face!

JIMMY:
F***!

[GLASS SHATTERING]

- [VICTOR GROANING]

- MAN:
Is he all right?

JIMMY:
You okay?

It's okay, it's okay,

you all right?

[TV CHATTER]

JIMMY:
Hey, knock it off.

What do I always tell you?

- Chuck it.

- What?

Chuck it in the f***-it bucket

and move on.

But what else do I tell you?

What did Grandma

used to tell us, huh?

You can't what?

You can't unring a bell,

right, hmm?

Maybe if you didn't lose

or break

every f***ing cell phone

that I buy for you,

then none of this

would've happened.

I wasn't calling anybody Jimmy.

I was just playing.

Come on, let's just drop it.

Besides,

what'd the guy say, right?

They come back to town...

they'll let you,

put you in the movie.

They'll let you stand on

a corner or something.

They're not coming back.

How do you know that?

They went back to Hollywood.

Do me a favor.

Don't go disappearing today.

You come straight back

from the bank, right?

Need you to clean out

all the taps and move the kegs.

Eat your eggs,

they're gonna be like ice.

LEO:
I know, Gram.

Every day,

I'm getting a little sick

of running this place

all by myself.

You, me, Cheryl, it's not easy.

By yourself?

You goddamn right.

You, Cheryl, and Grandma?

You goddamn right.

That don't make

no sense, Jimmy.

Oh, yeah?

You feelin' better now?

- Huh?

- You're goddamn right.

Excuse me?

You being a wise ass?

- What?

- Don't what, stop it.

- THE GIRL:
Hello.

- [DOOR CLOSES]

You open?

JIMMY:
Yeah, we're open.

Hello.

Can I use your girl's room?

Go ahead.

Yeah, you're feeling

much better, huh?

- JIMMY:
Morning.

- PHIL:
Morning.

DONNIE:
How you doing, Jimmy?

Hey there, Vic,

what's the frequency, buddy?

- Just shut up, all right?

- DONNIE:
What?

[IMITATING A WALKIE-TALKIE]

Uh, Bell Atlantic,

we have a problem.

- [LAUGHING]

- Didn't I just ask you

to shut the f*** up,

- and leave him alone?

- DONNIE:
Come on Jimmy,

I'm just kidding.

He's just bustin' with him,

Jimmy, come on.

Well, sometimes he doesn't know

when to shut the f*** up.

Aw, Vic, I'm sorry, man.

You know I'm just messing

with you, right?

You give me no joy, Donnie.

JIMMY:
That's it, Vic,

you tell him.

DONNIE:
Seriously, Jimmy?

Nine in the morning with that?

- What?

- It smells like weed,
