That's my grandson.

Hi.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

I won't bother you guys.

I'm just gonna move my car.

Hi, I'm Jack Jericho.

This has gone far enough. If you don't have...

- I got it.

- You do? You have the rent?

Yeah. Right here.

$1,000 in cash?

I got 2,000-

for last month, this month, right?

You must have struck it rich!

One, two, three...

Excuse me.

Has anyone ever told you

you have crazy taste in women?

What's wrong?

I was perfectly happy with my life

two days ago, now everything's screwed up.

I was thinking about what you said

and I was hoping...

No.

It's not worth it. We'd annihilate each other.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come.

- See, you're playing with me.

- You just said we'd annihilate each other.

Well, we would.

- Wouldn't we?

- I don't know.

We would. It's much better for both of us

in the long run if we just split up right now

and never see each other again.

- OK.

- OK.

Bye.

- What do you want from me?

- Dinner.

We could cause each other a lot of trouble,

you know that?

Come on. Let's eat.
