Good.

Good.

Honestly Buck it's a little embarrassing.

I mean we called the number.

They said if there was ever a problem

we should call the number, and well we called it.

And?

A series of clicks and buzzers.

A series of...

Clicks and buzzers.

That's what we got, which...

Couldn't even leave a message.

No message possible.

So we thought...

We thought get Buck back in here,

after all he vouched for him.

Well now, let's be, let's call a spade a spade.

I don't know him, don't vouch for him.

I was just a conduit for information.

Like you said "Buck we tried all the normal channels",

"and we just need a bridge loan to..."

It was last year for pete's sake.

I met him at the Shriner's.

Sure, okay then.

Everything went great when we met with the broker,

Mr Ehrmantraut, if I'm not a-

Right, Rick Ehrmantraut.

I got his card in my...

And now we're in the black again,

so we called the number to arrange payback

and clicks and buzzers.

Maybe there's another number, we're thinking.

Another number where we can at least leave a darn message.

It's a lot of money.

A heck of lot.

And it's just sitting there on the books which...

Can't have that.

Okay then well,

thanks for coming in.

Of course.

And did you think about what I asked?

The widow Goldfarb she wants to meet.

- The who? - I was gonna tell ya.

She's the so called storage queen, sniffing around

for a possible silent partner type arrangement.

Seems like the real deal.

Money to burn.

Where was she two years ago?

Friends, friends and Dave.

I'm not lying when I tell ya,

I still remember the first date.

25 years ago.

Took her to Fjords in St. Paul, my Stella.

I brought her a lobster the size of a car.

Cost me two weeks wages at the Red Robin,

but it was worth it.

And so over shellfish she says "where do you live?"

You know, just making conversation

and I tell her the address 213 Monroe.

And she gets this funny look on her face.

And she says "which apartment?"

So I say "16."

And now the look gets even funnier and she says...

I say "what are the odds?"

I lived in that same apartment for three and a half years,

I still had the key (laughs).

Of course she never told me that part.

So I come home a week later and what the heck?

She'd moved in!

And now somehow it's 25 years later and here we are.

And we've got Grace and her husband Dennis.

And life has been to us, more than good.

- Okay. - Raise a glass to my Stella.

Still lovely as the day we met.

Stella. (People toast)

Thank you.

Enjoy yourselves come on.

I got you five minutes.

Go get him tiger.

Yeah.

How we doing?

Good to see you, thanks for coming.

Ray.

You know, congratulations and all that.

Thanks.

Place looks good.

We had the floors re-done.

Oh ya. That's, uh...

So you said Grace got a...

That's her, her husband now?

Dennis.

There was nothing.

Barely even a wedding.

We did in Cabo on a beach.

They said, invitation said "no shoes."

Imagine wearing a suit and no shoes.

Still real nice.

But small, only like 10 people.

Ah but you went?

We had some meetings.

The next day.

Potential investors.

In Cabo?

It's like a resort, super high end.

International businessmen and the like.

Exclusive.

Not for parole officers you mean.

Don't take offense.

Ya, Ray. Geez, don't take offense.

We're just explaining what happened.

How's the Corvette?

It's a car.

Look I'm getting engaged.

Again?

Don't say that.

I'm sorry I just...

She's real sweet, Nikki.

We're in, you know...

You meet her at work?

At work yeah.

So, embezzler?

Drug mule?

Why is he here?

He doesn't need to be here.

Sy's always here when the conversations about money.

That's what this is right?

A conversation about money?

I wanna buy her a ring.

So, serious.

And the way I figure it,

is you still owe me from... - I owe you?

From what happened when we were kids.

Well now Ray, that's...

I gotta say, your math seems shaky there.

I mean, after the, what was it last quarter,

we fronted you 850 for car repairs.

On top of co-signing your mortgage

so you could get your apartment.

Not that I mind, happy to help really.

But where does it...

See that's not the way I see it.

That's you paying me back for...

Ray.

The thing is Ray, even if we wanted to, we're...

What Sy's saying is, it's not the best time.

Huh.

How about you just give me back my stamp

and we'll call it square.

Ray.

No, I'm talking to my brother.

Look, you are lucky I don't sue.

I mean, a legal document which delineates things.

Bequeaths them to specific parties.

A father, dead in a driveway.

An older boy taking advantage of a younger playing...

Nobody took advantage.

It was a trade.

If I had a time machine, you'd see I'd play back the tape.

"Emmit come on, I'm begging ya."

"Take the stupid stamps already."

"Give me the car."

No, that's not, that was you tricking me.

Ray.

How much did you get for them anyway?

The whole collection?

I never asked.

What two, three dozen stamps?

Vintage.

- Ray. - No.

She's a nice girl, a catch.

And she deserves a sweet ring, pricey, so...

Are you gonna do what's right here?

Are you gonna do what's right?

What happened?

Did you get it?

I need a real drink.

Here's the er...

It's not the best time.

He said.

Don't worry, I'm gonna...

I'll handle it.

Ray?

Sorry.

No tip?

Ya.

Get a real job.
