"[ Guitar ]"

"[ Singers Vocalizing ]"

"[ Continues ]"

Would you get the f***in' coffee

and let's go.

This ain't exactly Brazil.

I coulda pissed ya

a f***in' cup by now.

Hey! You're out

of chocolate mac.

Sorry.

No chocolate macadamia.

You would please

have something else?

F***in'hazelnut

"[ Continues ]"

That will be $ 1 .08.

That sign says

''All Coffee 69 Cents.''

I am very sorry,

but that is a 44-ounce cup,

and the largest

coffee cup is 20 ounces.

Therefore,

I must charge you...

the price of

a large fountain drink.

That's bullshit. That sign says

''Coffee All Sizes,''

not ''All Sizes

Up to 20 Ounces.''

I am humbly sorry,

but you must pay

for that cup.

Just pay

the b*tch the $ 1 .08...

and let's get the

f*** out of here.

All right.

This is bullshit. just give me

my f***in Snackie Cake.

I am sorry.

I cannot do that.

That is only available...

with the 20-ounce coffee.

That is not a 20-ounce coffee.

This b*tch is gettin'

on my nerves, man. Forget it.

-Just give him the f***in' danish.

- That sign says...

''Free Snackie Cake. ''

I paid $ 1.08 for my coffee.

I want my free Snackie Cake.

I cannot do that.

Here. take it.

That's apple cinnamon.

I wanted cream cheese.

F***'s sake. Pay her

the money and let's go.

Either of you got

something smaller than a Ben?

I'm sorry.

I cannot accept

any monies over a $20 bill.

- That's it.

- "I should not sell it"

As that cup is very hot

and might burn you.

You are very strange.

I'm going

to call the police.

F*** this.

[ "Gunshot" ]

F*** me.

Give me a smock.

[ "Spraying" ]

How you doin' tonight?

Fine.

How about yourself?

I'm doin'okay.

Need a cup of coffee, though.

Hmm... raspberry blend.

[ "Weapon Cocking" ]

It's on the house.

You sure?

Hey, man, here you are...

out chasing bad guys

at 4:
00 in the morning...

while I'm sitting here

like a duck--

It's the least I can do.

I appreciate it.

[ Sniffing ]

Smell something funny?

[ Sniffing ]

"Yeah",

one of our coolers went down.

Spoiled a lot of sh*t.

[ Chuckling ]

Sorry.

Hey, man, if you can stand it...

it don't bother me none.

You got to work in it.

Mind if I, uh...

ask you a question?

Go ahead, officer.

"Tell me. who do you like better",

Picard or Kirk?

Oh, there's no question about it.

Kirk.

[ Laughing ]

You bet.

You got to respect a man

who can f*** a green b*tch...

and destroy a whole civilization

all in 60 minutes.

[ Laughing ]

Good night.

[ "Bell Dings" ]

[ "Door Closes" ]

- "Thought we had a problem."

- "[ Door Chime Chiming ]"

I almost forgot--

my free Snackie Cake.

[ Squeaking ]

[ "Gunshot" ]

[ Ringing ]

- Hello?

- This is the operator.

I have a collect call from Nick.

- Who?

- From a ''Nick.''

Yeah, I'll take it.

Go ahead, sir.

Nick?

Case?

[ Sighing ]

Look, uh, I'm coming through

Houston tomorrow morning.

I was wondering

if I might come see you.

Oh, I don't know, bro. Why?

Things have changed.

I'm getting married.

I was hoping I could stay

a couple days, you know?

Catch up?

[ "Birds Chirping ]"

Jesus.

Aww!

What do you want me to say?

''Sorry, bro, my wife's...

''going to be a little tired

when she gets home tonight.

''Here's 20 bucks.

There's a La Quinta

up the highway.''

I thought maybe you'd

want him to meet me.

If he's such a good friend,

why haven't I heard

about him before, hmm?

I told you.

[ Clears Throat ]

I was kind of in the wrong path

I chose to get

my sh*t together. He didn't.

What time is it?

Oh, sh*t!

I'm going to miss my plane.

I got to go. Bye.

- "What about breakfast?"

- No. sorry. No time.

Okay--

Chris, don't plan anything

tomorrow night. It's opening night.

[ Sighs Deeply ]

I planned dinner

Why didn't you remind me?

Chris, i've been working

on this club for eight months.

He's the C.E.O.

I have to be there.

Every critic in town will be there.

We can't miss it.

We'll work something out.

Just don't forget

"Casey", "you know"

this adoption is

Yeah, I know.

It'll be fine.

You want me to take you?

No. I'll drive.

I'm taking the Mustang.

I love you.

"I love you", "too. Bye."

[ "Door Closes" ]

."[ Drum And Bass ]"

[ "Tires Squealing" ]

[ "Doorbell Chimes" ]

Turn around and put

your hands on the wall.

What?

Turn around... and put

your hands on that wall.

You're kidding, right?

[ Sighs ]

You're not going to try

and f*** me are you?

You wish.

This isn't exactly how

I envisioned our reunion going.

[ Grunts, Laughs ]

Oh, God... damn!

You had me going.

Goddamn, good to see you.

Come on.

Finally, I ended up in Texas.

That was about a year ago.

I had a little money,

got into mineral leases,

And I've been, uh...

working between

here and L.A. ever since.

Looks like we both escaped.

No sh*t.

Look at you.

You look like that wolf

that got taken in as a pet--

all dumb and domesticated.

You want a beer?

When's the last time you had

a beer at 8:
00 in the morning?

About three and a half years ago.

Well, let me get them.

No, I'll get them.

Sit down, I'm closer.

That woman's got you

trained, doesn't she?

They're not in there.

They're in the fridge in the garage.

I'll get them.

[ Sighs ]

Two fridges.

Welcome to suburbia.

What the f***?

What?

What the hell is this?

It's Soy Moo.

Yeah, I can see that.

What's it for?

That's a milk substitute.

[ Clears Throat ]

We're very health conscious.

There's no meat...

no dairy... nothing.

You're kidding.

Nope.

Three happy years...

of veggie burgers and acidophilus.

Those are scrambled eggs.

Scrambled Tofutti.

F***, dude, Rod Serling's...

going to step out

of that fridge any second.

Nick?

What?

Does that look like

a trash can to you?

Oh. sorry, bro.

Under the sink, man.

"So you're an architect", "huh?"

Yep.

- "You're good."

- "Nah."

"No", "seriously",

you're really f***ing good.

Thanks.

She know?

Not... even... a clue.

Never.

I fly out tonight for ''Paree. ''

"Yeah", "that's right."

You're fixing to tie

that knot yourself.

Who's the lucky girl?

Aw, just some French chick.

Man, you sound head over heels.

Nervous, I guess.

Nothing wrong

with living in France.

No extradition.

[ Laughs ]

What?

I'm just kidding.

"Say", "I've got some errands to run."

You mind if I borrow your car?

Help yourself.

Hell, I got a floor plan

that was due last Monday.

I'm not going anywhere.

Let's throw your bags

into the guest, uh... bedroom here.

F***, bro.

It's really good seeing you.

Ooh!

Beamer. Nice.

- "insurance is in the glove box."

- Got it.

And the, uh,

spare is in the... trunk.

No problem.

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

[ "Door Opening" ]

[ Nick ]

It's a f***ing station wagon!

[ Nick ]

It's a f***ing station wagon!

- "[ Woman ]"

"Hey", "what can I get you?"

[ Sighs ]

Hi.

Have a seat.

Thanks.

What can I do for you?

You, uh, look pretty tired.

Well, it's 1 :
00 in the morning.

I can't imagine why.

Well, you're kind of a dick,

aren't you?

I'm sorry.

I guess I just haven't
