You, Me and Dupree Page #2

The Oaks at Mesa Vista.

You like it?

Did I like it?

I loved it!

It's perfect for lot 208.

If I may, Mr. Thompson, it...

Mesa Vista is really

more of a smaller,

Not anymore, Carl.

You got to think big,

you got to think bold.

You're a married man now.

You're married

to my little girl.

I'm fast-tracking

this project.

And you, sir,

you're the lead designer

on it.

Excuse me, sir?

That's right.

You are the lead designer.

Wow, that's...

Wow, that's...

That's great.

What happened to Harrison?

I had to let him go

while you were gone.

I had a little problem

with Rancho del Mar.

But, Carl,

I believe in you.

You've got it.

It's here and it's here.

Release it.

Okay. I'll do that, sir.

Release it.

(BELL RINGING)

(CHILDREN SHOUTING)

Wow! I can't believe it.

He made you lead designer.

Yeah. Apparently,

he just loved my proposal.

And it's a little bit bigger

than I initially planned,

but you know, hey,

maybe that's a good thing.

So, what does this mean?

Well, it means

I've got my own office.

Which is really great:

Oh, and it's got a view:

A view of trees and some cars.

It's just terrific, and...

Living the dream, honey.

Living the dream.

Maybe we can celebrate

a little when you get

home tonight from guys' night.

Are you trying to seduce me?

(GIGGLING)

I'll see you tonight:

CARL:
What's up, guys?

DUPREE:
Carl, you made it!

DUPREE:

Intense matches going on.

Guys' night, man!

Hey, there he is!

Guys' night!

Can you feel the fun

for the guys' night?

I can just feel it,

you know?

(WATCH BEEPING)

Sh*t balls!

(SIGHS)

What's that?

It's my alarm. My hour's up.

That's it for me.

What, are you kidding me?

Bullshit.

Where are you going?

I've got to go

meet my wife

and watch Sisterhood of

the Traveling Ya-Ya Pants:

I don't... How late

do you get to stay out?

I used to have midnight.

Do you get midnight?

'Cause I was late once, and...

I'm a grown man, Neil.

I don't have a curfew.

Not yet you don't.

But in all seriousness,

you got to tell me something,

okay?

(EXHALING)

Do I smell like beer?

Yeah.

Good. Because you know what

I don't smell like, then?

Cigarettes and weed.

That one's free.

Yeah!

(EXCLAIMING)

The dream continues!

Still undefeated!

Yes! Nice.

Will you look at this guy?

Look at you.

Is this what it looks like

to be married?

Come here, man.

It's still early on.

To fidelity, commitment,

the whole shebang.

Yeah, and I also

got a promotion today.

Add it to the list.

Forever blessed

as the dream continues.

How are you doing, buddy?

How am I doing?

Good question.

Turns out I got fired

for taking that week off

to go to the wedding.

Wait a minute.

You got fired?

Apparently,

I never had authorization.

My boss claims

he never received my e-mail.

Then I had a little bit

of a cash flow situation,

so I ended up

losing my apartment.

You're not living

out of your car?

Carl, I'm not an animal.

Plus, it was a company car.

So when I lost the job...

It's okay.

I picked up a ten-speed.

Dave's letting me crash

at the bar after hours.

Dupree,

you can't sleep in a bar.

We're not in our 20s anymore.

Sure you can. I got

a cot set up in the back.

This is ridiculous.

Look, you're gonna

come home and you're

going to stay with us.

That's sweet of you to say,

but I can't impose,

and I won't.

Dupree will land

on his feet as always.

Can I have a toast, please?

Thank you.

Listen, Dupree,

we've got to get

rid of the cot.

Some of the regulars

are starting to complain.

They don't think it's fair

that you get to sleep here

and they don't.

Curley said that, didn't he?

Curley? Curley!

What?

What? You got a problem

with me sleeping on the cot?

We all have a problem

with you sleeping on the cot.

We took a vote.

The ayes have it.

Dupree? Live with us?

Not live.

Just stay for a couple of days

until he gets back

on his feet.

Molly, he's been

sleeping in a bar.

How does that happen?

Who knows? It's Dupree.

I mean, I told you.

His mother moved to

Florida with that yoga idiot,

and all of his friends

are married,

including myself.

He's got nowhere to go.

He's like an orphan.

Wait a second.

What's all this?

This is that celebration

we were supposed to have

about your promotion.

Oh, that's right.

I'm sorry, hon.

Look, Molly,

let me go outside

and tell Dupree

to bring his bags in...

What? Dupree's here?

Carl! Carl.

Carl.

Okay, look, you're right.

I screwed up. I did this

all wrong, and I'm sorry.

I should have called first.

You know what?

Maybe I should just give him

some money for a motel.

Carl. Carl.

He's your best friend.

He's here.

He can stay.

That's great, Molly.

Look, it's only gonna

be for a couple days.

Well, a week at the most.

Okay.

After that,

he's out of here.

Keep those candles burning.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Hey, Molly.

I want you to know I really,

really appreciate this, okay?

Yeah. No. It's really

no problem, Dupree.

Thanks.

Nice moose.

Oh, yeah.

Murphy,

say hello to the missus.

Hi, Murphy.

Come on in, buddy.

Make yourself at home.

Great.

I hope the couch

is okay 'cause

we're working on

everything upstairs.

Oh, yeah. I'm fine anyplace.

And you know

where everything is.

Thank you.

Great.

Thanks.

Thank you. And, hey, listen,

just to put your minds

at ease,

this is not a permanent

situation. Okay?

I'm hitting the job trail,

I'm gonna hit it hard

tomorrow.

Wheels of change

are in motion.

Good. Good.

That's a good attitude.

Despite what my ex-boss said,

I'm not unhirable.

Those copiers didn't exactly

sell themselves.

And frankly, I think

we had an inferior product,

and I'd tell people that

if they asked.

I wasn't going to lie

for that son of...

I don't want to get

started on him, but...

Okay, great.

Well, make yourself at home,

and Molly and I are...

Well,

we're going to go upstairs

and take care of some stuff.

Well, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Listen, we're all adults here.

You're newlyweds.

Making love's

a big part of that.

You're supposed to

explore each other.

I get it.

Come on.

If this situation's

gonna work,

we've got to be honest

with each other.

Now, go on.

Enjoy yourselves.

I'm not gonna listen.

Hump away. Go on,

get out of here.

Good night.

Okay.

Good night.

(ALARM RINGING)

MOLLY:
I'm kind of dreading

the talk with his parents.

He hasn't really been treating

anybody very nicely at...

(DUPREE SNORING)

That's not good.

No. Not for us

or our couch.

Computer skills. Not really.

(TOILET FLUSHING)

(HUMMING)

The Oaks at Mesa Vista.

This is exciting, isn't it?

Stunning. Just stunning.

You know, sir, if we're

not gonna have any trees,

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

maybe we should consider

changing the name.

No. No, no,

I love the name.

Names are important, Carl.

Are you gonna

answer that phone?

Give me a second.

What do you want?

Real quick, where

do you keep the plungers?

A plunger? What do you need

a plunger for?
