Yeah, sure. Why not?

That would be great. I'd love that.

Problem solved.

Really?

- Yes

Well, thanks, Carl.

That's very sweet.

That's sweet, Carl.

- Thanks, Faranoosh.

Oh, I forgot. I've got to pick up

costumes for me and Allison.

Costumes for what?

Just kidding.

- That's okay, I blocked it & deflected it back.

Kaching!

Wow, cool costume, my man.

The only one they had left was for toddlers.

This is Allison, with her wand

made from a sequoia.

You must be Norman.

- Yeah, nice to meet you.

Thanks for coming.

Come in.

We've got drinks, you know, chips, dips,

and good people, just like you two.

Pace yourselves

it's going to be a crazy night.

Goal!

Get in there, play the zone.

- Good dip, huh?

Got tons of it at Costco.

I have an exclusive membership card and

with that card I get access to the whole place.

I can buy large quantities

of anything at discount prices.

Can't anyone get one of those cards?

- No, I don't think so.

But I can talk to someone if you like.

- Yeah, put in a good word for us.

It feels strange to be going home, doesn't it?

I'm not going home.

Not really.

Alrighty gang. Who wants to watch Chamber of Secrets

Thanks for coming.

So nice to meet you.

- Good to meet you too. Thank you.

That's right, come in.. or go in.

And you just keep your hand there for a shake

The other hand goes around for a hug.

Thanks for walking me through that.

- Allright - Bye bye

Okay, guys.

All aboard the Hogwart's Express.

The next stop, Azkaban.

Hey, do you want to drive?

Hey, you're getting better.

- Yeah, not bad, huh?

I got it.

I got an idea.

We can't do this.

Why, are you scared?

Hurry, somebody's coming.

I see someone. Hurry!

This is crazy.

- I know.

But it's great.

This is unreal.

I couldn't agree more.

# Say you don't need those diamond rings #

# and I'd be satisfied #

# Tell me you want those kind of things #

# that money just can't buy #

# I don't care too much for money #

# money can't buy me love #

You know I never met anyone driving a scooter before.

I've never had anyone kiss me

on the stage of the Hollywood Bowl before.

Good evening, Los Angeles.

Please welcome to the Hollywood Bowl,

'Munchausen by Proxy'

I'm your biggest fan.

I killed her.

I'm a somebody.

I don't know about that.

C'mon, you gotta have freaky fans.

I don't think so.

We don't really have that much of a following

What are you talking about?

There's Rodrigo and the guys at the bar.

They can't bet trusted.

Then there's me and my friends.

That makes eight or nine

very unstable people.

How many people can this place even hold?

I think 17,000.

So each one of us invites

No need. I know our music

isn't that mainstream, but I love doing it

It's like my photography.

I know there isn't much demand

for blurry photos taken while running, but ...

I wasn't going to say anything.

You know, who cares?

The world is a playground.

You know that when you're a kid,

but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.

I love your music.

Everyone can take a photo

standing still

Hey, what are you doing?

Sh*t.

Stop.

- Stopping.

Come on, Carl. Run!

- Oh, thanks.

Wait right there.

- You got it.

Down on the ground.

- Whatever you say.

Carl, what are you doing? Let's go.

- Alright. I can't please everyone.

Run!

Hello everybody.

A little vitamin C.

Keep you straightened out.

I will be right with you.

Pass those out, will you?

Chapeau

Lee?

- Hey.

What up? My brizzo?

That is not right, is it?

- Carl, I need you for a second.

Can you hang on a minute, Lee?

What is going on, Norm?

Something going down on a big scale.

A guy from corporate is here.

Don't look.

He wants to talk to you.

I think it's about all those loans

you've been approving.

Eww, well, we had a nice run.

I might get shitcanned, Norm.

Anyway, don't worry about it.

I'm sure it will lead to something good.

Hey, I'm tied to this too.

I stood by and let it happen.

When you were feeling it?

You were in the loan zone, remember?.

Yes, I was.

- And I was watching you.

Yeah you were.

- But I'm afraid it's caught up with us.

Right now you and I

have to face the music. Come on.

Can I have one minute?

Lee, what do you need?

It may be my last loan.

It's a Ducati. I'm thinking it will get

people off my back about the male nurse thing.

See what I mean?

- Yeah.

Nice ride.

Accepted.

See you one the other side, Lee.

Carl.

Wesley T. Parker. V.P. Brea Fed Savings.

- Pleasure to meet you

Every two months the typical

loan officer approves 35 to 40 loans.

You have given out 561.

A little more than average.

- What's even more unusual are the amounts

A $250 loan for a mountain bike.

$600 for windsurfing lessons.

- Have you ever tried that? It's fun.

Carl, this bank traditionally

has never given out small loans.

I can explain..

- Sit down, Norman.

You know at first I thought

you might be raiding our coffers.

I would never do that.

- I would if I could so why wouldn't you?

But then I looked closer.

These people are so grateful

to have their needs met.

More than 98% of them are

following through with the payments.

And because you've given out so many

of them, we're actually making a lot of money.

Carl, these micro-loans. Not bad..

See, Car. You worry-wart.

Carl, what would you say if i asked you

to work upstairs with the big boys?

Corporate?

- Wow. That's great.

I would have to say ...

- Wait, before we give our answer ...

let's talk money. dollars and cents worth.

I'm afraid I can't discuss that with you,

since we're only taking Carl.

Got it.

We'll have the employment contract

to you by the end of the day.

Nice work, Carl. Bump my fist.

Aww missed it. I was gonna fist ya.

- Here's a fist.

I especially love it in creme.

What do you think?

I love it.

Bridal Bingo?

How to play Bridal Bingo?

It's the same as regular bingo, but you

just use embarrassing things about the bride. Okay?

Yeah

No, I'm not doing Bridal Bingo.

I do not want anything complicated.

You gotta squeeze every

drop of juice out of this experience.

It does not seem complicated.

Is it complicated?

Are you going to be asking a lot of questions?

I don't got all day.

Maybe we should just go somewhere else.

- It's okay, I'll talk to her.

Miss...

is there something wrong?

Yes

There is something wrong.

Here I am, sitting here all day long

watching others getting engaged

and married over and over again.

It's just not fair! How about me?

How about Soo-Mi? When is my turn?

Ahh, I understand you.

Soon your time is going to come.

Do you see the lady who came with me?

She is my best friend's fiance

and she really hates my guts.

You'd really be hooking me up

if you helped make this fun for her.

Let's get on the same team here.

What do you think, Soo-Mi?

Ok.

- Let's go for it!

Okay, Bridal Bingo is very simple.

I can explain to you in more detail if you want.

I can't believe this.

There is a man on the ledge trying to jump!
