Unfinished Business Page #8

that you picked.

Yeah, when they bagged on me.

Goth d*cks!

Goth is lame.

Goth isn't outlaw.

I mean, this is the

look right here, man.

Any guy can wear dark.

But rocking teal...

See, teal is very outlaw.

It's like, the goth kids,

really...

they're joiners,

when you think about it.

The teal kids,

they really stand alone.

And whenever I have

to pick a color,

obviously,

I pick teal every time.

For sure.

Because, you know...

no one else does it.

And because you

have to be bold.

Because you have

to be teal tough.

Give me a break, Dad.

Come on!

We could probably

start a gang, me and you.

Just for real men, though.

Yeah, I guess we could.

Like "The Teal Boys."

How many kids

are in your class?

And how many of those

kids pick on you?

Hey, I gotta go.

Just listen for one second.

Stay here.

Stay here and just

listen to me for a second.

Now, Paul, you're gonna

switch schools.

But that's not really gonna

change anything much, honestly.

You're just gonna

have to stay tough.

I know that you are feeling like

that you're sticking out...

and that you're going

through a lot of stuff...

but we're gonna

get through this.

Me and you. Teal tough.

When are you coming home?

Tomorrow.

Did you get the handshake?

Dad froze again!

I heard from Jim Spinch.

Your daddy

just counted up

who he's responsible for.

One boy. One girl.

One woman. One old guy.

One kind of, uh...

How do you describe Mike?

Good. Sweet.

And I let him down.

I'm going to have to

let him go next week.

Timothy, too.

Your daddy's a man who

didn't get the handshake.

American Businessman 42!

He's the fluffer,

seems like.

He's also someone that will try

and forget this feeling...

as soon as possible.

Hey, um, sorry.

I don't mean to bother you...

but you're so pretty.

Kind of like a painting.

I'm sorry.

It's so obvious now.

Flugelschlagen.

Sometimes,

when troubles come

all of a sudden too much...

when we FaceTime...

Dad freezes and pretends

Face Time's broken.

So he doesn't have to deal

with things right then.

I'm not gonna freeze today.

Sometimes in life,

you have to take inventory.

This is one of those times.

Not landing where you thought

you would, hoped to...

and asking the questions, "What

could I have done differently?"

"Could I have led better?"

The only thing you can do

when things go against you...

is pick yourself up

and push back.

Hey.

Hey, sir!

Come out of the race!

My hopes for this trip,

for this handshake...

for it to be the end of a

pretty good losing streak.

American Businessman 42!

This is American

Businessman 42, everyone!

Go, go!

You can do it!

I don't believe it! Run!

I'm not going

to freeze today.

I've chased this thing

all the way to Germany.

I'm going to find the man

behind the man...

even though we

might get humiliated.

But we're ready.

The old guy's

got life left...

And the young guy's

an animal now.

So I'm telling the boys...

"Suits back on,

get on the starship, "

"and let's go get

this goddamn handshake."

Hello? Dan?

Yeah. You at the Aldon

with Daaervk?

Yes.

We'll be there in 10 minutes.

Awful. Why?

Get me in to see him.

I'm gonna see him for three

minutes, just for a team photo.

I want to show him my sheet.

It's impossible!

I cannot go around Jim.

We're coming.

You got a big dick, Bill.

Act like it.

Dan? It's madness!

How the hell are we

gonna get over there?

How you doing?

I'm here for a meeting.

They're expecting me.

I understand, sir.

Clearly, I'm not rioting.

Whoa! Easy, buddy!

We're just three guys

on business!

Hey! Get your f***ing

hands off of me!

Leave him alone!

Calm down, Tim!

Son of a b*tch!

Dan!

They are very important people.

I need them in with me right now.

Right now!

Are you okay, Dan?

I'm not crying. That's

just poison in my eyes.

Let's go. Get your

top sheet, all right?

Two seconds.

Just one of you.

Mike, go.

I'm just kidding.

I got it.

Jim is gonna kill me.

We're better, Bill.

He'll throw a coffee

in my face.

We're better.

Just wait here a sec.

Mr. Daaervk.

This is Dan Trunkman.

And this is Apex Select's

long-purchase

cost share sheet.

Sit down.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I just got

tear-gassed.

A whole canister.

I got caught in the crowd

and in the horses.

I just got shot, all over.

I'm just explaining

why I look so effed-up.

"Effed up"?

Um...

"F***ed."

Oh, "f***ed."

Yes, you do.

Can I see your

dollar exchange ratio?

We feel very strong

about our numbers.

It is fudged a little, hmm?

You converted it twice.

It is.

It's fudged a little, yeah.

"Keeblered", as we say.

You know that?

Yeah, we know that.

It's an old trick.

The guy's old who...

Fire him.

Uh...

No.

He worked extremely hard

on this sheet.

I stand by what he did.

I'm just kidding.

Jeez.

We think we would be

a complement to you...

not only on this job,

but in the future.

And being able to

look ahead to the things...

that are gonna be

in front of you.

So, how many people

do you employ?

Two. Three of us,

altogether.

How many do you?

Oh...

200.000-something.

F***.

Yeah.

But three is tough, too.

In a different way.

I started with four.

Like a family, when you

know everyone's name.

But that can wear on you, too.

Uh...

So, this is slightly better.

Bottom line.

So, okay. Yeah.

Are you going to shake my hand?

I have some other sh*t to do.

Yeah.

Yes.

Okay.

Who's your daddy, baby?

Who's your f***ing daddy?

We got it.

Oh, my goodness.

Did something just happen? Did

we just come from a meeting?

Did things just get

exciting around here?

Oh, yeah, here it comes.

Boom.

There it is.

Very nice.

I got you!

I know it's been

a long trip, but rest up.

Monday, we're back at it.

Hey! I'm divorced.

Just like that?

There's an app.

Hey, Jim!

Did you have to fly to St.

Louis to talk to your boss?

Yeah, that's right.

Hey, Dan,

can I get your address?

Sure.

Because usually when someone fucks

me, I like to send them flowers.

I like carnations.

And if you make out a card,

include all three of us...

because it was a three-way.

You were my third f***!

Mike!

Guys!

Oh, man!

Oh, you guys!

I missed you!

I missed you!

Oh, wait. Guys, these

are my roommates.

Tobey and Sebastian and Tobey.

Sebastian, Tobeys,

I don't have to tell you...

you've got

one hell of a friend here.

And it is emperlaten

that you ask Mike

about his trip.

Because this cat had some

pretty major explers.

Yeah. I lost

my virginity! Twice!

Good stuff, Pancake.

See you Monday, pal.

Yeah.

See you Monday, Mike.

BYE, guys.

How are you

getting home?

I'm leaving with a friend.

Is that the, uh,

actual maid from...?

We kept in touch.

Why is she wearing

her maid outfit?

I asked her nicely, Dan.

Silver fox.

Boom! I like that.

You remember Dan?

Hello.

Hi. Pleasure.

Nice to meet you.

We should go.

Okay.

Great.

Thanks.

Thank you, Tim.

Why are you standing here?

Don't you have a wheelbarrow you're
