- Hey.
How are you?
I'm fine.
It's nice to see you.
I can't remember who you are.
You don't recognize me.
It's been such a long time,
hasn't it?
You look great.
You too.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
How are you?
I'm good.
I've been really good.
I've been really busy,
all over the place and so on,
but yeah, I'm good.
It's just so nice to see you.
You look great.
Thanks.
You too.
Yeah, okay.
I'm sorry to keep you.
Are you in a rush?
Yeah, I'm going
for my lunch break.
Yeah, okay.
All right, take care now.
Take care, bye.
[Contemplative jazz piano music]

- Hi, sweetie.
- Hello.
Oh, God.
How are you, Astrid?
I'm good.
It's so good to see you.
It's so good to see you.
I'm so sorry I'm late.
No, no, it's okay.
I'm really, really sorry
I'm late.
I just got so distracted
walking.
No, it's fine.
So what you reading?
Oh, it's Grace Paley.
She's great, and I'd love
to tell you about her,
but I'm really in a hurry,
while I was waiting for you.
- I'm sorry.
- No, it's cool.
I got so distracted.
How are you?
- All right, how are you?
- Good, good.
You look younger and younger.
There you go.
I'm gonna just put this one
right over here.
Okay.
Can I help you
unload some things?
- Yeah, sure.
- Yeah?
You know what?
We're okay.
Thank you very much though,
okay?
No?
Okay, sorry.
Thank you.
This one is not very heavy
but just keep it like this.
Will you go watch her
for a second,
and I'm going to get it for her.
- No problem, sir.
- All right, thanks.
Hey, Henry, did you see a bag
that was over here?
It was a little red and white
bag that was her surprise.
Did you see it?
- No.
- You didn't see it right here?
I took the bags
that you gave me.
I took the rolley one.
Go over there
and see if it's over here.
Watch her, okay?
I'll get her.
Let's see, Bea.
Let's see if it's in the car.
Come here.
Dad, where's my surprise?
How are you?
I'm all right.
You okay?
- How are you doing?
- I'm doing fine.
What do you got in the bag?
You've got so many things
in the bag.
I know.
So many things.
I just did a little bit
of grocery shopping.
How did you carry so...
a big bag?
Oh, not right now, Mike.
I have so many things
I've got to do.
Mike, just in a little bit.
I've got to put
all these things away.
A lot of things
in the bag.
I know.
I have so many things.
I have so many groceries.
I have so much to do right now.
Will you fix me a cup
of coffee or something?
Yeah, maybe
a little bit later.
So many things,
Jesus Christ.
I know.
I know.
And after a bit, I'll get you
a cup of coffee.
We'll sit and talk for
a little while, okay?
- I'm sorry, yeah.
- All right.
[Laughs]
What's in here?
Oh.
Ay-ay-ay.
Come back here.
Come back here.
Come here.
You get back here.
Come here.
Come here, pooch.
Come here.
[Dog barking]
Come here, pooch.
Who's this dog?
Who's in here?
Oh, hi, you guys.
Hi.
I'm so sorry.
I know what it's like to be
in a tote bag with a wild dog.
So what's your name, huh?
Are you Smokey?
Come on.
On the bed.
All right, who's next?
You?
What are you?
Huh, Anthony?
All right.
There you go.
Who else is there?
Come on, little guys.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
I've got you.
I've got you.
Let me just make sure
there's nobody else.
[Kitten meows]
You stay put, okay?
Come on, you guys.
Now you're here with me.
Hey, come back here!
Let's go to sleep.
[Laughing]
Thank you.
[Laughing]
How much for, like,
a handful of them?
It's per pound.
What?
It's per pound.
Oh.
Thank you.
On the table.
- On the table.
- On the table.
Come on, on the table.
One-zero.
We haven't started yet.
This is warm-up.
This is warm-up.
You have two-minute warm up,
haven't started yet.
Take it easy.
Well, let's start playing,
come on.
All right.
Ball.
Ball.
Pick a hand.
Um, that one.
You can either choose to serve
or give me the serve.
You can have it.
Here we go.
Your serve.
Jesus.
Be careful!
Listen, why are you even here?
To play table tennis.
Well, this is close,
Well, come on,
let's just play.
- Listen.
- It's really fun, come on.
But look, people here
are spending time and energy
playing in this tournament,
and you're here
doing this stuff.
I know, but it's fun.
Well, I think you're wasting
Come on, just give me
another try.
All right.
All right, my serve.
Your serve.
Hey, Wayne.
What are you doing outside?
Why aren't you playing?
I lost in the advance
to this big lefty looper.
So I'm out.
You lost?
Yeah, it happens.
[Laughs]
Okay.
So what are you gonna do?
That's my tournament.
I'm out of it.
I'm gone.
That's it.
Hey, listen, don't laugh.
I'm sorry.
I've played in tournaments
all over the county
and clubs all over the world,
and you are the worst player
I've ever had the displeasure
of having to play.
Gee, Wayne.
That's the truth.
It's a tough game.
Well, I'm sorry.
I mean, I just wanted to have
a little fun.
Look.
At least get a decent backhand.
You've got this weird backhand
hacker-wacker thing.
It annoys people
when it doesn't hit the table.
Right now, you've got this
kind of lifting, lobbing thing.
What you have to do is
withdraw your wrist into here.
And when you hit backhand,
you hit...
[Laughs]
Go away.
Go away.
[Voices overlapping]
Everybody, may I have
your attention please?
Tonight, drinks for everybody
are on me!
Um, I'm sorry.
I didn't know there were
so many people in here.
I'm sorry.
Never mind.
Good morning.
Good morning.
It's 7:
30.Time for work.
Time for work.
Sh*t.
I'm sorry.
I thought it was my car.
This is my car.
Ciao, Elonora!
Oh, Josh.
- Oh!
- Whoa!
[Dull crash]
I'm all right.
Are you okay?
I'm all right.
Farewell.
- Are you okay?
- I'm all right.
What are you doing?
What are you...
how are you?
I'm okay,
just biking, you know.
That's nice.
Breaking legs,
getting hit by cars,
you know, that type of stuff.
Sorry.
- It's a nice night.
- Yeah.
What are you doing?
Well, I guess I'm just
kind of trying
to find the car that fits
this key.
What do you mean,
find the car that fits this key?
Is that...
Is that a joke?
Are you looking for your car?
I guess I just kind of
found this bag.
Okay.
And then inside the bag
there was this set of keys,
and I just want to see
what car it turns on.
All right,
I'll help you do that.
