Fallen Stars

Are you taking off?

Yeah, work.

Okay.

Well.

This is really embarrassing.

I don't remember your name.

Cooper.

Right.

Well, Cooper, thanks.

This was fun.

Well, maybe we can do it again sometime.

Yeah, yeah, totally.

I'll be in touch.

Hi, buddy.

Hey.

Are you a club member?

Sir?

Are you a club member?

Yeah.

That's Jon.

Jon snow.

You know, game of thrones.

I've never seen it.

No shit.

Okay, well, do you want me to take him out

so you can meet him?

No, I'm...

I don't rally know what I'm doing here.

There he is.

Okay, so if you had to choose,

would you rather be eaten by a shark or burnt alive?

Why do I have to choose?

Because you do.

I'm gonna go with shark.

Really?

Interesting.

I've missed you.

What's with you?

I don't know.

Just a funk I guess.

Yeah, well, that's why god invented distilled beer, my friend.

Hello, Joyce, how's life treating you?

Life, what life?

All I do is work.

Well, at least you've got your health, right?

Yeah, I'm a regular fairy Princess.

Okay, so what do priests

and Christmas trees both have in common?

Hello?

What do priests and Christmas trees both have in common?

Their balls are only for decoration.

Come on, that's it?

That's all I get?

But you are laughing on the inside, right?

In tears.

Liar.

Hey.

Hey.

Can I get something for you?

Yeah, campari and soda.

Another one under the bridge, as they say, right?

How was your night?

It was long.

Well, tomorrow's another day.

Okay, I hope you have a wonderful evening.

You look tired.

Yeah, well how about you lick my balls?

You want something?

So, you want me to lock up?

Well, I'm sure as shit not gonna do it.

See you tomorrow.

Don't forget to turn off the damn lights.

So, Jon.

What the hell am I doing here?

Yeah.

I don't know either.

Well, look who's back.

You want to meet him?

It's no big deal.

I can't.

Are you sure?

Yeah, thanks.

There he is.

Okay, so how do gay horses greet each other?

I do not know.

Hay!

So, my friend, what's new with you?

Since yesterday?

Not a whole lot.

You know, for a bartender, you're really shitty

at making small talk.

That is probably true.

Is it a special occasion?

Actually, this is for you?

Really?

Yes, sir, open it.

I don't get it. Happy anniversary.

What?

You've been working for this fine establishment for exactly 10 years so happy anniversary.

What? How did you know that?

Well, you started working here the same day

that my divorce from my third wife was finalized

and trust me that's a day you don't forget any damn soon.

Are you gonna say something or just stare at it all night long?

Fuck.

So, 10 years, huh?

Yeah.

Guess so.

That is really something, you know that?

Gosh, I guess we are turning into

a bunch of old farts you and I.

Campari and soda, right?

Sure, thanks.

One more?

Nah, time to go.

Until we meet again, kind sir.

Have a good night, Ron.

Good book?

It's okay.

"Woman in the dunes".

What's that about?

Sand.

Sand?

That sounds really interesting.

Okay then, another drink?

No, thanks.

Okay.

You have a great night.

Jon.

I hope you don't mind having processed food products.

Hey.

Check you out.

Can't seem to stay away?

Yes.

Did Jon get adopted?

'Cause he's not at his kennel.

He's okay, right?

I'm sorry.

What?

We...

We fight like hell to try to save them all

but there's just too many

and not enough space.

I'm so so sorry.

Hello.

Can I get something for you?

Yeah.

The usual?

No, something stronger.

Okay.

What can I get for you?

Bourbon or whiskey, i don't really care.

Alright, a bourbon or whiskey coming right up.

Thanks.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Hey buddy, how's it going?

Hey, Ron.

Hey.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'll take another.

Yeah, that's probably not a good idea.

Whatever.

Play it again, Sam.

Sorry but I can't do it.

Why?

I'm fine.

Excuse me for a second.

What's up? Guy at table 12

says he can't taste the alcohol in his drink.

It's a long island ice tea.

What the fuck does he think is in it?

I know, I know.

But can't you just fix it for me, please?

Yeah, sure.

There you go, happy?

Thank you.

I really need to get laid.

What?

You?

Shit, in your dreams maybe.

What?

Why are you so sad all the time?

I'm not sad all the time.

Shit, like hell you're not.

So, any chance you wanted to lock up tonight?

Any chance you want to bite my ass?

And don't forget, bugman comes tonight.

Shut up.

Hi.

Hi.

Okay, okay, okay.

Sorry.

We need to call you a cab or an uber or something, right?

Fuck uber.

You seriously can't stay here.

Can I have a glass of water?

Yeah, okay, okay.

Look, so, I'm thinking...
