There were 100 things I wanted to say to her.
And if I chose the right one, would she stay with me?
Whoo!
Oh God.
You're freezing. Come on.
Oh brr, oh brr!
Here.
There.
- What? - Nothing.
Nothing?
You're beautiful.
No no no, I should go.
Go where?
I have to go.
Do you want to go?
No.
Hey, when will I see you again?
I don't know.
This was really great.
- Hello? - Hey, Mindy. Is this Mindy?
- This is she. - Hi, it's Ronnie.
Uh, Ronnie Haxon.
Wow, Mindy, how are you?
Where are you? Are you okay?
Um... I...
I don't think so, no.
I could use a ride.
Um, Mindy, do you think maybe you could, um,
I don't know, just pick me up?
Damon?
What are you doing here?
Can I come inside for a second?
- Your apartment's awesome. - Thanks.
- Are you okay? - I'm sorry.
You want to call your dad and see if he can come and get you?
- Because I... - I came here to ask you something.
Can you, like, make me a better poet?
You know, like, be my mentor?
Wh... why do you want me to be
your mentor?
Because you're kind of awesome.
Damon, earlier tonight
I hit a woman with a belt.
Okay? I took off my belt and I hit someone with it.
Over and over! I hit my boss with a belt.
Well, maybe she deserved it.
No one deserves to be hit with a belt.
You invited me to your poetry thing,
and you helped me when I was tripping out on pot scones
and I thought I was a fetus.
So you hit one lady over the head with a belt.
So what?!
You changed my life.
Do you remember the first time that we met?
You told me that I was funny.
I always thought that I was funny,
but no one ever said it before.
It's like we're in Michigan
and everyone else here is the same.
Except you.
* Heaven isn't too far away *
- * closer to it every day...* - Well, Ron, that's the thing about marriage.
And about women... whim and fancy.
Chicken and mole.
Man, on your big night... ouch.
That's rough.
All right, I'm gonna get some beef jerky. You want something?
- No thanks. - Come on.
Rice krispie treat, twix bar, nothing?
- Maybe a twix bar. - All right.
I didn't invite him to come with me.
He just... he invited himself.
Oh sure.
I'm sorry she left you stranded.
It's an awful thing to do.
To leave like that?
Just walk out?
I'll be okay.
But in a way
I wish I could do the same thing.
Walk the fuck out.
My marriage is dead, Ron.
I'm all alone all the time,
- even when I'm not. - So am I.
- Oh, Ron. - Min... Mindy!
I don't want to be stuck. I don't want to be alone anymore.
- Min. - Oh, Ron.
I just... I've always felt that there's something between you and me.
- Oh, Min... - This just feels so easy and so right.
- Doesn't it? - Mindy.
Oh, Ron. Ron, I wouldn't have left you on that stage.
I wouldn't have left you standing at that podium.
I would not have left you alone on that stage.
- Mindy, he's... he's paying. He's signing his credit card. - Hurry!
Hurry hurry.
- Oh, come on. - He's exit... he's exiting.
- Oh, hurry. - He's coming!
Okay.
- Twix bar. - Thanks.
Don't mention it.
No, I don't think you understand me clearly.
Where am I even calling? Is this India?
Can I speak to your manager, please?
Listen, I know your name is not John Smith.
It's Abdul or Sharif or Malik.
And you're in some call center in India.
So stop pretending your name is John
and you're in Michigan and get me your manager.
- My name actually is John. - Here, that's $1,000. I gotta get to work.
1,000? You're short.
1,000 is all I have, okay? You wanna see my bank statement?
I need 500 more.
This is not a suggestion, Ray. It's not pay-what-you-can.
Why don't you keep that as a parting gift?
Oh, I'm sorry... are you going somewhere?
Look, I... I...
I need to...
take a break.
A break from what?
- From this business. - Why, did your dick break?
I need to make some changes in my life.
Oh, okay.
Go ahead and quit. Go back to your tent.
Go back to being a nobody with your nobody friend Tanya.
- Leave Tanya out of it. - Fuck Tanya.
She owes me a lot more than money.
I've got Liz booked this afternoon.
Are you gonna see her or not?
What is going on, Ray? What is this about?
It's none of your business.
Is this about Jessica?
What, you think you're gonna get back together with her?
She left you for a reason, Ray.
Maybe there's a reason she wants me back.
Why? You think you've changed and she's gonna come back to you?
I don't need this.
And I don't need you.
And I am not a nobody. I'm a father.
I'm a coach. I'm a teacher.
And I used to be a pretty good husband.
And if I get another shot at it,
I'm not gonna screw it up this time.
Hey, Koontz!
Turn that off, will ya?
Hey, how are you?
How's things? How are the, um...
Uh, how's the, uh...
I'm okay, Ray. I'm keeping busy.
Good. Yeah, busy's good.
- Yeah. - So, still interested in making me an offer on the...
You wanna sell me your house?
Yeah. Uh...
Well, I don't know, Ray. I'm not sure.
Well, you said you were...
a couple months ago.
Uh, thought I'd come to you first.
I'd better check with my wife.
Frances!
Please, Frances.
- Don't... don't be frightened. - Go away!
You're gonna have to run me over.
If you don't move, I'm gonna call the police.
Frances, please, I'm just here to apologize.
I don't care why you're here.
- I'm going to church! - All right, Frances, please,
just give me 30 seconds to apologize.
- May I approach your window, please? - No!
- Frances, I'm asking permission. - No!
I'm not here to scare you or intimidate you
or make you feel like you're being blackmailed.
I don't care why you're here.
I was wrong, all right? I'm guilty.
I'm going to pay back every penny.
When you go to church, I hope that you will pray for me.
But for right now, please, just for a moment,
may I approach your window just for a moment, please?
Look, I know. I know I've been a bully.
I have given you every reason not to like me,
but I'm not here to talk about me.
I'm here to talk about you and Mike.
Whenever I think of Mike, I think of you!
- I'm sorry. - When you're my age
and you meet someone
and it turns out only to be a mirage...
Mike is not a mirage.
He's a nice man who... he likes you so much.
