guys.

Unbelievable.

This is you, my friend. This is all you.

Never seen nothin' like it in my life.

Unbelievable.

[grunts]

You look rested.

Did you have a... a good night last night?

What'd you do?

Yeah. I, um...

I put my daughter to bed

and then watched some TV with my mom.

So, yeah.

Great.

- A daughter.

- Yep. Yeah.

[both chuckling]

What, uh... what, um... How old is she?

Uh, she's seven years old.

- Seven?

- Mmm-hmm.

That's a full kid.

Is her father in the...

Are you married to him, or with him, or...

No, no, no.

She... I mean he... he's...

lost in Mexico forever.

What?

- Is that a normal thing in Mexico?

- [laughing]

To get lost forever?

It's terrifying.

- But he's not in the picture.

- He's not...

I mean he's just there,

and he's never coming here, and... Yeah.

And there is no contact at all.

- Well, that's a relief for, you know...

- For what?

- Somebody. I guess me.

- Oh!

But not for you maybe, which I'm sorry.

Really? I mean, because three women...

It's, like, a huge thing...

- It's a big thing. Yeah.

- To deal with. You know?

Are you prepared for that?

- I don't think so.

- [chuckles]

Well, how about we have breakfast first,

and then we'll see if we like the food.

We'll figure all that next.

- Like...

- You're right.

- [waitress] Sorry about the wait.

- [Eva] Thanks.

[waitress] Care for a cup of coffee?

Yeah. Sure. Yes, please.

- Black.

- [waitress] Okay. Ma'am?

- Uh, orange juice. Thanks.

- [waitress] Okay. Thank you.

I think it's really cool

that you started the breakfast this way.

Yeah, I wasn't totally honest

during the night.

I... I don't own my own business.

I'm not a big spender the way I was.

I mostly don't have that much money.

Okay.

- And if...

- So...

if that's not what you expected,

I apologize 'cause I misled you.

What do you do for a living?

- What do I do for a living?

- Yeah.

It's hard to say these days.

[both chuckle]

But once you get past...

'Cause you don't...

You don't seem shy to me at all.

- [Eva chuckles]

- You don't.

'Cause you are different.

I don't know why.

So once you know somebody,

then you're very outgoing.

Yeah, exactly.

If I don't know them, it's just...

I'm really shy.

- [Gene chuckles] I'm sorry.

- [Eddie] Gene, don't do that.

- [laughing]

- Please.

That was, like, a week ago.

- Gene...

- It was, like, a week ago that we talked.

I'm sorry. I should not be laughing.

I'm sorry.

I should not be laughing.

[continues laughing]

- Gene.

- I'm sorry. It's just...

- I'm at an all-time low.

- I know. I'm sorry.

- Whoo-hoo! Okay.

- I'm begging for help.

- Okay, no. I know.

- You're laughing in my face.

[stammering] Are you...

Are you ready to change?

Yes, 100%.

- For real?

- For real. 100%.

So you're not gonna sit here

and whine and complain and go,

[imitates Eddie] "I made bad choices,"

and I'm gonna give you advice,

and you don't take it?

- I'm telling you, this is very different.

- But you understand where I'm coming from?

- You understand my trepidation?

- Yes.

'Cause that's something you've done

4,268 times in the past.

This one's... Yes.

I am 100% ready to change. I'm scared.

I never thought this was gonna happen.

- [sighs] Okay.

- Please.

All right. So then, first things first.

You have to...

You've gotta admit that you're an idiot.

You've got to admit that you are an idiot.

All right. I admit I'm an idiot.

I need you to say,

"My name is... and I am an idiot."

Why?

Because that declaration is real.

- Okay.

- Then it becomes real.

If you're willing

to humiliate yourself like that...

- Okay.

- Then I'll know you're serious.

My name is Edward Garrett,

and I am an idiot.

Okay. And now I need you to say,

"My name is Edward Garrett,

and my friend Gene was right.

- "I... I'm addicted to losing."

- Why do I have to say this about you?

Okay.

My name is Edward Garrett,

and my friend, uh, Gene was right.

I'm addicted to losing.

- That was easy for you.

- Yes, you were right.

- So you must really be in trouble.

- I'm in trouble.

All right.

If you honestly start laughing

after all that, I'm gonna murder you.

Gene.

Gene, this is not appropriate behavior.

[chuckling] I'm sorry.

- What is your problem?

- I don't know. It's just tickling me.

- You are a mean person.

- I don't mean to be. It's just...

[laughing] It's not funny. It's not funny.

All right, now...

We're gonna figure it out.

I get it. We're gonna figure it out.

We'll do whatever we have to do,

and we'll get you back on track,

- all right?

- All right. Thank you.

[Ron] Okay, how many did you knock off?

Six of them? Okay. No problem.

- [knock on door]

- We can get it done.

Well, I just have to order 'em.

[whispers] Want me to go out?

[Ron] No, it's not a problem.

Julio's runnin' out. I can have him do it.

Okay. Bye, Jim.

- Hey, man. Hey.

- Hey, man.

- How are you?

- Yeah. Not great.

- Uh...

- What's going on?

[stammers] I, uh...

I put myself in a sh*t situation, man,

and I'm really embarrassed about it.

And I'm, uh...

What's going on?

What's going on, Eddie?

[Eddie sighs]

I ended up losing money I didn't have.

And I'm now down a little over $20,000.

- I don't have $20,000.

- I know you don't.

- That's ridiculous!

- And I'm not asking for a loan.

I'm not begging you.

I'm done with that. Okay?

- Why are you here?

- Because I'm gonna start going to meetings

and making changes

- and I want the job.

- Okay.

I want to start working for you.

You wanna come work for me?

- Uh, really?

- Yes.

- Okay. All right. Uh...

- I need...

- This is the bottom. I know it is.

- Okay. Okay. All right. Um...

Here's what's gonna happen.

- I'm gonna offer you a job.

- Thank you.

You're gonna start at the bottom.

Like Chips would've wanted.

- Yeah, of course.

- Okay?

- Working seven days a week.

- Great.

- I'm giving nothing out, okay?

- Okay.

- I'm gonna work you hard, okay?

- Okay.

If that happens, problem-free

with no excuses for six months,

okay, whatever you didn't pay off

with the job on the debt,

I'll lend you the money

for the rest of the debt.

That's more than I asked, Ron.

That's what I'm giving you,

that's what you're getting,

and that's what's happening.

- Are you gonna come work for me?

- Yeah.

- Do you mean it?

- There'll be no screwups.

I know there won't be.

I know there won't be. All right?

Okay.

- [Ron] Let's do this.

- [Eddie] Yeah.

[Ron] I'm glad you're here.

- [Eddie] Thank you.

- [Ron] Okay?

- Honestly, man, no bullshit. Thank you.

- You're welcome.

You're welcome. All right?

- And this is it. This is it. Okay?

- [groans]

'Cause I can't...

I can't take this anymore.

My heart can't take this.

- This is the last time we do this, okay?

- Yes, it's over.

All right? Yeah, I know it is.

[alarm beeping]

[alarm ringing]

Got it. Okay.

- [alarm continues]

- Okay. I get it. I got it.

Shut up. Okay. Shut the...
