Uncle John Page #5

All right, all right, Carl.

You don't say.

Jesus.

You fellas are like a bunch

of 13-year-old girls.

How do you suppose

he got that black eye there?

Oh, come on, come on.

What else is going on?

Carl, what's going on

down at the river?

Anything biting these days? No.

Nope, not this week.

You throwing worms right now?

Yep, fat ones.

Don't throw worms right now.

They'll never bite on worms

right now.

- Got a bunch of worms.

- Yeah, well,

you don't need to use them

just because you got them.

Carl, this man knows everything

about fish biting.

- And worms.

- And worms.

Hey, Ben. Ben.

- Oh, hey.

- Hey.

Are you feeling better?

What do you mean?

Just, you seemed a little

out of it today.

No, I'm fine.

Good.

So, it went well last night?

Yeah, it went fine.

You want to return

the favor tonight?

What do you mean?

Get a drink.

Well, I have a date

with a bubble bath.

Oh.

Come on.

- Uh...

- Just one drink, I swear.

- All right.

- Yeah?

Yep. First round's on you.

- All right, that's fair.

- Second round's on you.

How about the third round?

- You.

- Okay, fine.

Okay, so, you see any prospects?

Not really.

All right, what about type?

You got a type?

Well, my ex was huge,

and he was built like a viking.

Cool.

You know, I always like

to date someone crafty.

Crafty?

Yeah, like, someone who works

with his hands, you know? Okay.

Like a carpenter.

- Yeah, like a carpenter.

- My uncle's a carpenter.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Wait, the one that raised you?

The same.

So, can you do it?

What, set you up with my uncle?

No, can you carpentry?

Can you do it? Can I carpentry?

- Can you carpentry?

- I can carpentry a little bit.

I can carpentry a bit.

Uh, you know, hung around

the workshop a lot growing up.

I think we found your man.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, buddy! Wake up.

- Shh.

- You want a date?

She's all right.

You want another one? You sure?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, why the hell not?

- Yeah, I can have another.

Monsieur?

Can we do two more, please?

What's your name, by the way?

Adam.

Adam? How are you?

- Good, how are you?

- Thank you.

Good.

What a guy.

That guy's big.

He could be a viking.

His arms are bigger

than my thighs.

And I have big thighs.

I think it's run by

the Korean mafia. I'm not sure.

- Did you ever do that?

- What?

Sing karaoke.

No, actually,

I've never done that before.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Huh, well,

we'll do a duet or something.

- Yeah, I could do it.

- Okay.

Anyway, sorry that was kind

of a bust.

No, it's all right. You're fun.

- I'm sorry.

- I can't, I'm sorry.

No, I know, I know.

No, I... I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

You know what?

I can't 'cause...

It's okay, I didn't have dinner,

and I had a couple of drinks.

All right, miss dawn.

I think we're in good shape

here.

Oh! Oh, well, that's...

Um, this pie will be done

in just a bit

if you feel like staying

for a piece.

Oh, no, thanks.

I had a heck of a breakfast.

And I got to make another stop

this morning.

But I have to come back tomorrow

and finish up here, though,

so why don't I take a rain check

until then?

You bet. It's a date.

9:
00 A.M. work for you?

See you then.

Okey dokey.

I mean, you guys are amazing.

Basically, it's just not...

It's just not...

No worries.

I... I totally get it.

Sometimes they don't know

what's best for them.

Exactly right.

That's exactly right.

But we want to make sure

that they're happy.

You remember what I said

before we started this job.

Morning, nights, weekends.

We're here for you, anytime.

That's the truth,

that's our job.

- Thanks so much.

- That's right.

- Thanks so much.

- Yeah, of course.

So, we'll make those changes

and shoot you a new posting

as soon as we can.

Okay, talk to you guys soon.

- Okay, see you guys.

- All right, have a good weekend.

- Bye.

- Bye. - See you guys.

Mm!

How good was that?

Hey, buddy.

Thanks for coming in.

Uh, listen, I got to run.

Um, you let me know

when everything's good?

Buddy.

Okay, let me show you

what you're doing.

Hey. Sh*t.

This is exactly what I

didn't want to have happen.

Um... I'm sorry

that I made it weird last night.

- It's fine.

- No, no, no, it's not.

I'm really sorry, okay?

Uh, I know that you...

You don't want to date anybody

that you work with,

and I'm not...

You know, basically, I'm not

saying that if you didn't

have that rule that I'd be

somebody, um,

that you would, uh...

You know?

I... I just think

that we're friends,

you know, and it's good.

- Right?

- Yeah, we're good.

Okay. Hug it out?

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Friends?

- Of course.

Good.

- No more headbands.

- Ah.

What? Client's client hates it.

Mm, thank you.

Ugh, this coffee is really weak.

Where's the good coffee

in this city?

Huh? Coffee?

Yeah, where's the good coffee

in this city?

Uh, there's actually a lot.

Give me about 15 minutes,

and I'll show you.

- Wait, you only need 15 minutes?

- Mm-hmm.

These changes are not

that bad, actually.

Oh, my god, you're the best.

I could use

a good doughnut, too.

Well, now, that... there are

some good ones around here,

but I'm pretty partial

to the ones I grew up with.

- Oh, yeah?

- Mm-hmm.

What's your go-to?

Well, as a kid, I would always

go for the sweeter ones,

but now that I'm a mature adult,

I get an old-fashioned.

They're famous

for their caramel, though.

- Let's go get some.

- Huh?

Uh, okay.

They're 21/2 hours away, though.

Let's go after this.

I'll drive.

Hmm.

I'm sorry,

you probably have plans already.

No.

I don't, actually.

Uh... yeah, what the hell?

Yeah, really?

- Yeah.

- Exciting.

I mean, like,

I bought it already grown.

- Oh, yeah.

- It's like a little

like seedling or whatever, so...

I had fresh basil

for a few weeks,

and then I just kind of forgot

to water it.

- Oh, really? Okay.

- Yeah.

Well, that sounds like you

had a good run.

Oh, I need a...

I got to get a...

Got to get a new blade

for that Jigsaw.

Got to remember to do that.

We I'm with a friend,

co-worker,

and we're driving up,

just sort of impromptu.

Uh, we're actually

kind of close,

so I hope you get this,

and yeah.

Just give me a buzz. Otherwise,

we'll just see you soon.

Okay, bye.

She's still the best.

She's very exotic looking, Ben.

Oh, yeah.

Uh... thanks, Mrs. Thompson.

- Ben?

- Hey!

Did you get my message?

Message?

Yeah, ah.

Surprise.

Well, hello there.

Hi, I'm Kate.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, too.

Yeah, I tried calling a couple

of times. Sorry.

Oh, come on now. Give me a hug.

Hey, we're gonna run

over to Clark's in a minute...

Grab some steaks and beers.

You want to grill out tonight?

Sure, sure.

And got in touch with Mary

on the way up, too.

She wants to come over.

You'd be in hot water

if you didn't.

Yep.

So, does your...

Your new place have a grill?

Yeah, got a little back deck

and everything.

- It's nice.

- You like it?

Yeah, I love it.
