How heinous is summer school?

MacKenzie, it's non-smoking.

There's nobody here.

- Hello?

- Oh Mr. Jarvis?

Hi, come on in.

I'm just getting ready

for the open house tomorrow.

I had cleaners coming this morning,

but if you want something done right,

you've got to do it yourself.

Unfortunately, the gas smell was a

bit of a problem at your place.

The people were a bit put off.

Gas will do that.

I had someone from the

gas company drop by

and apparently

there was no leak.

So really it's just a problem

of dealing with the smell.

Now I can do that or you can do that.

It doesn't matter to me.

One more

Just sign here. There.

Okay, and here.

Perfect. I'll check on your

house when I'm done here then.

Perfect.

- Bye then.

- All right, bye-bye.

- Hi, buddy.

- Hi, duck.

Got a sec?

Uh sure.

- How are you doin'?

- Oh, not bad.

- And yourself?

- Fine, better than some.

Yeah.

So do you have any

Pull at the "Sentinel"?

What do you mean?

Like they're

planning on printing

those names from the

watch and all that.

- Apparently, yeah.

- And what is the point of that?

I mean, you can imagine

that's gonna have

a pretty bad effect

on some people.

- Like who?

- Hey, sexy?

- Duck, hi!

- Hi, Sandra.

Anyways, buddy,

I'm so glad to see you

because there's something

Oh yeah, you were saying

you had that trouble

With that thing with the

Thing right there.

Anyway, I'll

I'll see you around.

Yeah, well

I'll catch up

with you later, duck.

Yeah.

- Bye, duck.

- See you.

Those jeans look so hot on you.

- They were expensive.

- They were worth it.

They make your ass look amazing!

- Shut up.

- I'm serious.

Thank you for the stuff.

Don't you like it

when I kiss you?

No

No, I do.

I do.

- You're so beautiful.

- No, I'm not.

Could we go back to

your place for a while?

My mom's gonna be

home soon, so I

For a little while?

Yeah, for a little while.

Excuse me. Oh, it's you.

- Don't you have a phone?

- Yeah.

Well, why hasn't anyone been

able to get in touch with you?

I'm not home.

We have a very serious problem.

- With what?

- What do you think? With the banners.

- Oh?

- They're backwards!

- Backwards how?

- It's "Wonderful Wilby."

- What?

- You got it backwards.

- No.

- Yes.

I just put it

the way they gave it to me.

Who?! Who? On what,

on what, on what?

A piece of paper,

the people from the

- The woman from the

- Can you read?

Yeah.

What?! F*** the flowers, Deena!

It's two words,

it's two simple words.

They go together two ways,

the right way and the wrong way.

- I'm sorry.

- You're sorry. Shut up! You're sorry.

Do things the right way

and you won't have to be sorry.

It's that easy. Just do things the

way they're supposed to be done.

That's all I'm asking.

All I want is

for things to be done the

way they're supposed to be.

That's all I want. You're sorry?

You have no idea.

I work and I work

and I try and I try.

And I'm the one who's

And what's wrong with

talking about the future?

What are we doing if we're not

talking about the future?

How are things

supposed to get better?

And he wants to go for coffee?

I don't drink coffee.

I haven't had coffee since I

quit smoking six weeks ago.

"And how's that going?"

Oh great, oh fine,
