Uncle John Page #7

What you working on?

Commercials.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

For?

At the moment, yogurt.

Oh, that sounds cool.

Yeah, it's not really

that cool, but it's fun.

Mm, okay.

You're getting paid, anyway.

Yeah, I guess.

I like Kate.

Yeah, she's really cool.

You guys are...

No.

- Really?

- No.

- Huh.

- Not my choice.

Oh.

Just friends, huh?

Just friends.

You, uh, talk to Rachel anymore?

No.

Uh... no, I don't.

But you're happy?

Yeah, I'm happy.

Good.

I'll, uh, get up

and say good-bye in the morning.

Uh...

Night.

Hey, do me a favor.

Hit the hallway light

when you cash in, all right?

Yep.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Water?

Can't sleep?

I was having some trouble.

Um...

You okay?

Yeah.

That's a shitload of stairs.

Shh, shh, shh.

Yeah, I know.

Just give me a second, okay?

Okay.

No.

F*** it.

Shh, shh, shh.

Shh, shh.

Oh, god.

Shh.

- Oh, sh*t.

- What?

I forgot to turn the light out.

Okay.

Let's turn it off.

Okay.

- I'll be right back.

- Okay.

Hi, there.

Hi, morning.

Do you have any foil?

Uh, yeah, second drawer

on the left.

Your coffee's over there.

I figured you put it

in the travel mug?

Every day.

Did he take off already?

Yep.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

Looking pretty good here.

I think you're all set.

Fabulous, that's great.

I think that's a two-scoop job.

What's that, now?

That's a two scooper, and I

don't give those out lightly.

You want your pie

heated up a little bit?

Oh, right.

Definitely.

Yes, that way it gets all melty.

Hey, it's me.

Uh, are you all right?

I missed you.

Uh, sorry about that.

Anyway, I just wanted to call

and say hey and thanks.

Uh, we're headed back.

Hopefully, we will come up

again soon.

All right?

Talk to you soon. Bye.

He has an actual answering

machine for his home phone?

Yeah, crazy, huh?

I don't think my family ever

had one back in the day.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Huh.

- It's just...

There was always somebody

around my house, you know?

My mom's side of the family

is especially large.

How big?

Let's see, she's got...

Six siblings?

- Wow.

- Yeah.

Yeah, and they all live...

They all live really close.

And they're all crazy, so...

Oh, yeah, how so?

Um...

Okay, well, my uncle Jim, um,

he's diabetic, so he has to give

himself these Insulin shots,

you know, every day.

But he doesn't, like, excuse

himself to go do it in private.

He'll just, like, stick a needle

in at the dinner table.

Hmm. Ugh.

- Yeah, it's so disturbing.

- Oh, man.

Um...

And there's my aunt Irene.

She's intense.

She, um...

She's transferred

all her kids through,

like, these multiple

school districts, you know?

She thinks they're all,

like, unsanitary.

Um, now they're all

home schooled, yeah, so...

My uncle Kyle, he, um -

he wanted to be a lawyer

his entire life,

and, um,

his last year of law school,

he comes out of the closet,

right?

And, um, I guess that just made

all his passion for law

just go away, so,

now he's a hair stylist.

And has, like,

$200,000 of student loans.

Ooh, ouch.

Yeah, good move.

Um...

Actually, he's...

He's really awesome,

but he's crazy, too.

How about you?

What's that?

You have any, like,

crazy family or anything?

I don't really have a lot

of family, actually.

It's just, uh,

me and uncle John.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

Does he get mad or, like,

have a drinking problem

or something?

No.

He's the best.

Hey, John.

You all right there?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Just tired, is all.

Okay.

Well, I wanted to come by

and, uh, check on you real quick

and see if you seen Danny Miller

around here any time lately.

No.

Okay.

Keep an eye out.

We found his truck

over at scoob's this morning.

Big, old handgun

sitting on the seat.

We got everyone

out looking for him right now,

but I just thought I'd come by

and make sure you're safe.

You might want to take

some extra precautions,

you know.

And give me a shout

if he does come around, okay?

It sure is a healthy one.
