# So long, restful days #

# I will try not to but I'll still forget your name #

Hi, this is Abby. I'm not here right now,

so leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon I can.

Thanks!

Hey, it's me.

I don't know if you're not answering because, uh,

you're still at the funeral or because you still don't wanna talk...

But, um, either way, I think you're, uh,

being pretty out of Iine

and totally unfair with all this.

You know, it's you that's making this, this so uncomfortable -

not me...all right?

And, you know, I, I had,

I had just as much right to be there as you.

And so what if she's your aunt?

You know, she's, she's my aunt, too.

Just, uh... Just a, uh,

ex-aunt-in-Iaw or whatever, but so what?

You know, it was enough to justify me being there.

And you didn't need to give me shit

because I brought carnations, O.K.?

I didn't get them because I was cheap.

I, I got them... I got them because I actually thought

they were nice and,

and I didn't know any better, all right?

Besides, if she had it her way,

she probably wouldn't want any fucking flowers to begin with

considering how bad her allergies are...

Or were, whatever.

And you know what?

You're one to talk, you know, about tact.

The most tacky thing there was,

was you bringing your, your cheesy-ass, uh, boy toy

on a hot date to a fucking funeral, O.K.?

That's pretty fucking tacky if you ask me.

Which new guy is he?

Is he the-- is he the one, uh, with all the played-out tattoos?

The, um, the tribal arm band and the, uh,

the Chinese symbol for power and, uh,

Celtic and Egyptian shit that he--

Damn it.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Come get it. Come get it.

Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Hello?

You guys wanted to see me?

Yeah, take a seat, if you would.

Uh, we've got slight change that we need to make.

Um, O. K.

We are going to need you to Iet AIvin go.

Um...

Oh, you mean to, to fire him?

We're gonna need you to Iet him go for us.

O.K., um...

What, uh, what, what for?

What happened?

Uh, just, just tell him that, um, it wasn't working out,

that it wasn't, uh, it wasn't a perfect match, um,

that the, uh, that, the synergy was not...correct.

When do you want me to, to tell him?

Right now would, would be ideal.

And also, um, you could then fill in, uh,

takin' over some of his duties on the floor...

Would be great.

Well...that's not, that's not what I do.

I, I mean, I'm...

I'm above that.

I mean, I, I don't--

I did that a Iong time ago and, um...

Well, that's, that's just not my scene.

Um, I mean, those guys...

Those guys, they're always

farting on each other and, and,

and Iighting each others' farts

and endless, you know, and...

And calling each other "bitch tits" and--

Sure, sure.

It means a Iot to us,

your willingness to, to help us out.

I mean, this is a tough thing, you know.

Anytime a void is created, um,

it's tough on everyone...

Tough on us.

But is it, is it, uh, temporary?

It's temporary for now.

It would be really terrific if you could take care of that for us.

Hi, AIvin. How's it goin'?

Um... Uh, Terry and Curtis,

uh, asked that I come,

uh, talk to you.

Um, I'm afraid that we have to Iet you go.

You mean, Iike fired?

Yes.

No, Iike, uh...

Just, you know, just Ietting you go.

Did they say why?

Um, mmm, just that it wasn't working out.

Um... Look, I...

You know, I, I don't know why.

They didn't say why.

Um, I was pulling for you.

I'm just a puppet and, um,

you know, they told me

what to say and I'm just, you know, regurgitating it to you.

And I'm, you know, I'm, I'm,

you know, right there with you on this.

I, I'm just...

You know, just doin' what they say.

Uh-huh.

Um, do, do you think they'd Iet me

finish takin' a shit first?

Yes, totally.

All right.

You know, I don't want to rush you or anything.

You know, you can take... as much time as you need.

Thanks.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Excuse me, uh... Have you seen that cat?

Is this one yours?

Yeah, I'm afraid it is.

Why'd you call it Goliath?

Uh, it just seemed Iike a cool name.

I don't know.

I got him a Iong time ago.

Did he run away from you?

No, I doubt it, at Ieast, um, at Ieast not intentionally.

He wouldn't do that.

I'm sure he's just confused and, you know,

wandered away.

Uh, he's very happy.

He's really old.

If it's fancy, you think maybe someone stole it?

Probably not.

He's you know, he's a total sweetheart,

but he's, he's not a show cat or a purebred

or anything Iike that, just...

I don't know.

This neighborhood used to be good.

I've Iived here about nine years.

Just Iast month I got my house appraised and it went down 5%

because there's a sex offender in the neighborhood now.

Man, I can't believe it.

Are you serious?

Yep.

Well...Where does he Iive?

A couple of blocks that way, I think, in Sweetbriar.

I Iooked it up online in the sex offender database.

It's weird.

I never thought, uh...

You know, anyone Iike that Iived in,

Iived in our area, you know?

It's terrible, is what it is.

It's just terrible.

Yeah, it's, it's really strange.

Well, uh, thanks for the information and, uh,

you know, I'm offering a reward,

so keep on the Iookout,

you know, if you see anything.

- Good Iuck. - Thank you.

Get the balance.

Get him by the neck and pull...

I got him!

Put his head in your balls.

Suck a dick!

I just got a hand full of nut.

I got 25 bucks on Carlos.

Come on, Johnson.

Squeeze his head, squeeze his head.

Squeeze his head!

172 days without an accident.

Who's the master, now, fucker?

Say my name, bitch! Say it!

Reach in there and grab it.

I was Iike, "Oh, fuck."
