Hung

It's funny how women get in your head.

You think you divorced your wife and it's over.

Then suddenly you can't stop wondering why she's unhappy.

She wanted to pay a guy for sex.

And at the last moment, I realized that guy was supposed to be me.

If she loved her husband so much...

...what was she doing in that hotel?

Having sex for money was a lot harder than I thought.

But I had a house to fix...

...kids who might want to move back in...

...a job I used to think was there forever...

...but now was only there till the end of spring.

At least there was baseball.

Didn't know why, but I had a feeling that this year we were gonna win.

Or if we couldn't, we'd go down fighting.

The district might run out of money and hang us out to dry...

...but I knew in my gut that if we could just focus on baseball...

...I'd be all right.

And the kids would be all right.

Every year is another chance to make it.

Nothing's over till that final out.

Hey, Ray! I got the signs.

I got some coffee here. You ready to protest?

Stir up a little trouble?

Hey, Jess, it's me again.

You haven't called me back, so, uh, I hope you're okay.

If you're not, or if you are, just call me, okay?

We can talk about whateveryou want.

Or nothing at all.

No contracts, no school.

Get the facts before you react.

No contracts, no school.

Get the facts before you react.

Hey, I love you.

Jessica! Je... Hey, Jessica.

- Hey, how are you doing? - Hi, Ray.

- Hold your horses. - What do you need?

- Didn't you get my calls? - Oh, no.

Watch it! - Hi.

- Hi. - I was thinking we should have a meeting.

- Oh? - You know, to, uh, discuss the kids.

Face to face. Same time, same station?

- How about Sundays at Bertson's? - Bertson's is a dump.

- What...? You're acting weird, Ray. - I just wanna talk to you!

Although we sell dick and not cars...

...we can learn a lot from Diego Rivera.

Notice the workers. Clearly their jobs are depressing.

They work too many hours for little pay...

...and they have to wear unattractive overalls.

Actually, Lenore, the workers are meant to be the heroes of this mural.

No, Tanya. When I look with a modern eye...

...I see someone like Ray teaching history year after year...

...to ungrateful kids.

Or maybe that's you, Tanya, at Wagner & Finch...

...in a washed-out yellow jumpsuit. - Can we get to the point?

Glance to the top. You see that doughy Asian person...

...and the mannish woman holding rocks?

That... Those fat people could be us.

If we can change our way of operating...

...I believe there's a place for us on that mountain.

What about these clenched hands?

To me that represents fisting, Ray.

It's time for you to change your repertoire...

...which brings us to Claire. What went wrong?

Nothing. She... She hugged me goodbye.

She was just a little reserved.

What do you mean, "reserved"?

I mean she kept most of her clothes on.

I guess she was shy?

Well, it's your job to make her relax.

Look, the woman is very pregnant, okay?

- Ha-ha-ha. So? - So I had to...

- To go delicate. - Go delicate?

- What does that mean? - You mean...

- I mean I held back. - Held back?

- Yes. - I'm still in the dark.

You know, I did just the tip.

You're worried that your dick is so big you might hurt the baby?

- You don't have to put it like that, Tanya. - Ha-ha-ha. That's hilarious.

Look, there's a baby in there.

Babies have been seeing penises for centuries.

Ray, here's the thing: Horny clients with disposable income...

...are like fruit. I can only pick them when they're ripe.

Remember the last ripe one? You left her waiting in a hotel room.

- Now she won't take my calls. - I had food poisoning.

It's time for you to prove to me that you are up for this job.

We don't want Claire to have an okay time.

We want her on your hook.

- It's called stripper theory. - You know...

...I've worked with several ex-strippers who are proofreaders now...

...and they're pretty miserable people.

You don't know shit about it, T-Brain.

Using Ray's penis as a metaphor...

...you gotta give her the whole dick.

Not half a dick or a quarter-dick or just the tip.

"Stripper theory"?

Who does she think she is, a professor?

- Ph.D. Of Bullshit? - She's a businesswoman.

Yeah, just because she says that doesn't mean it's true.

A good businesswoman knows her product...

...which in this case is you.

And she just wanted to lecture. She didn't even think to ask.

- Ask what? - If it was difficult for you, you know?

Because she's so pregnant. That was my guess.

It wasn't that difficult, Sherlock Holmes. Where's your car?

Well, I go back... I go back that way.

Ahem. Okay. Um, here's your cut.

My cut? Wait, Lenore gave you yours? Why didn't she give me mine?

Because she wanted, uh...

...your cut to come out of my cut, and I figured, why rock the boat?

Are you kidding me? Don't you see the symbolic significance?

It's like saying I'm a charity case.

You should get 60 percent, Lenore should get 20 and I should get 20.

Okay, but for now, Lenore gets 40 and you get 20 of my 60.

Oh.

Roll it down. Roll it down!

- You got sandwiches? - What?

Where are your sandwiches? I want a P.B.J.

- Where's your cooler? - Cooler?

- I want a sandwich. - Ain't you from the mission?

From Our Lady of Madonna. The mission lady drives this kind of car.

- If you're hungry, I could get a doughnut. - Doughnut?

You think I need a doughnut? Read the fucking sign, lady.

This is the Donut Hole. Damn, I thought they was related.

- They look so related. - Wait, wait, wait!

Where are you guys going? Shit.

I just... I want...

I just wanted to ask you some questions about your work.

I'm just interested in your job, but no judgment.

I have no interest in judgment.

- Can I help you? - Aah!

No, I was just leaving.

You looking for work or you looking for play?

Neither. I just wanted to ask some questions...

...about the psychology of prostitution.

Uh-huh.

Are you their?

Am I their what?

You know.

Look, lady...

...get the fuck out of here.

Jessica.

It's Lenore, the friend you're not mad at anymore.

If you want to keep me in the deep freeze, I understand.

But I still need to drop by and give you a full refund.

I insist. I'm morally burdened.

I think Ronnie wants to kill me.

Never trust a skin doctor who sleeps with his patients.

Full of disease.

And my grandkids are weird.

I know what you're trying to do, Mother. It's not working.

Boy is always following the girl.

And girl masturbates too much. Very loud.

I did notice the girl had big muscular fingers.

You know what? We should be grateful.

Most siblings hate each other.

And believe me...

...if there was something wrong with my kids, I'd know it.

If Darby wants to masturbate, good for her.

You're telling me that the district has money to bus the team to away games...

...but not enough to drive them back?

How are the players supposed to get back home, Rhonda?

They'll have to work out other means of transportation.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

A lot of my kids, they don't have any money. They don't have cars.

Their parents are working two, three jobs to survive.

I don't control the purse strings, Ray.

Don't you have more pressing things to worry about like, I don't know, your job?

This is my job. This is my job.

- Wait, Rhonda... - Rhonda, this is my job.

This is my job. We keep chipping away...

...at these kids. No uniforms, no decent field.

And now there's no way to get back from the games?

And these kids... These kids are good.

Some of them are more than good. Some are great.

Yeah.

We could have a championship team this year.

They just... They need our support.

They have our support, Ray.

Times are tough.

"Times are tough."

If I never heard that again it would be too soon.

Every piece of cash I got, I put in the house.

It still wasn't finished.

I just had to keep going, one nail at a time.

- So, uh, last time... - Yeah.

- You want it, uh, different this time? - Yeah.

- Like harder? - No, not necessarily that.

- No? - No, I, um...

- Something else? - Yeah, I'm not sure what.

Not sure. You're not sure what.

- I think you were holding back. - Right.

Well, I didn't want to hurt...

No, I mean, like emotionally.

Are you somehow, like, freaked out by me?

No.

The pregnant aspect of things doesn't...

No, no, that's cool.

So you really have had sex with a pregnant woman before?

Yeah, a lot.
