Spiral

What?

What is it? - Go back to sleep.

Hey you're alive. I'm hanging up. - I think I did something.

Yeah.. You did, you woke my ass up at four in the morning.

I think.. Something bad. - Where is your inhaler?

In my bedroom.

Good. Here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna hang up the phone, you're gonna walk to the bedroom, take a hit off that thing and go to bed.

Mason?

Someone call the Police. - Call the Police?

Shit, Mason. I think you can handle it.

So what are you gonna do?

Use my inhaler.

And go to bed.

Good, buddy. Breating in bed

I'm gonna do my part and I'm gonna go back to sleep.

See, it's like teamwork only I don't do anything. Get it?

Okay?

You're gonna be alright.

I'm gonna be alright.

JZD&J INSURANCE.

You're late.

Did you hear me? Where have you been?

I'm sorry.

Well that's real nice of you Mason but it's not helping. You know why?

Because I got 6000 phonecalls that have to be made by the end of the week

and an employee who can't get his ass to work on time, even though he lives two blocks away.

Shit, I'm sorry.

I guess I'm just tired from someone waking me up in the middle of the night.

See how that can make a guy cranky in the morning Mason?

Okay then. You okay?

Get some sleep finally?

Good to make some calls?

Okay. Good.

Then get to work, you crazy bastard.

Yes, I believe I can help lower your rates by 20%.

Let me ask.

Have you, or anyone in your family ever been in a car accident?

The rates are fixed and they stay the same for the life of the plan.

Yes mam.

Can you.. please hold.

She's pretty. Who is she?

She is..

Nobody.

Then you have a good imagination.

What are you doing?

Huh? Oh.. just..

Eating potatoes. You want some?

Amber.

Picked a really nice spot here.

It's like a middle school inside.

Feel like I should smoke a cigarrete and make out with an eighth grader.

Anyway. What did you say your name was again?

I really like your drawings.

I.. I don't draw. I sketch.

I'm a painter.

Looks like it's gonna rain again.

Get in the car man! What the hell are you doing?

Get your ass in the car, man.

Seriously bro, you're a grown man. Invest in an umbrella.

So hey Mason. Are we heading to the apartment?

Or we'll just sit right here.

Hey Mason, whats up?

You remember Christie? She was a year ahead of us. I hired her today.

Brought her on for 20 cents less than you. The bitch.

She's got fakes now, so you might wanna start drawing her.

Come on Mason.

It's pouring out there. We're having a conversation!

I'm really getting sick of this shit Mason.

No mam.

We only handle annual and bi-annual schedules.

What?

I'm sorry. I'm not familiar with that.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to check with my supervisor.

Can you please hold?

So you're from Kentucky. - I've been here for almost three months.

You're awfully far from home. Hey Mason, what's cooking?

Yeah, tell me about it.

Nah, that's a great plan. I actually got one for my grandma.

True story.

Can you hold on for one second.

Can I help you?

I need to do an R27.

So?

I'v never done one.

Hold on.

JZD&J

Absolutely, he's at his desk, just let me transfer you there.

What is it you need?

How to do an R27.

What am I, the guy you ask that?

I just.. - Hold on.

Yeah, absolutely, it's a..

Please go away.

It's called an R27. I can set you up an account...

I just had a look for you and it looks like I can save you...

It rained.

I should have been a weather girl.

My superviser says I'm not cut out for sales.

Isn't that great?

I've been here under than a week and already she's giving me these

'You're not right for this job'-talk

So I'm not the milk man.

Six sales a day.

I'm still learning.

I spit in her drink.

Her coffee,

I spit in it.

Which is really immature, but it was just sitting there and i was just,

You know I really want to be good at this, I really do, but,

It's just not fair for someone to treat someone that way.

So what do I do? I go and act like a teenager, and I just do

something really stupid.

And now I feel like this.

She probably deserved it.

Sir, we are an auto insurance company.

No. Sir,

We don't do life insurance.

No, we just...

Okay.

Just think of it like make-up sex, without the awkwardness.

..or the sex.

Thanks.

What can I say, I'm a great guy.

Besides, I know your routine, I can tell when it's time to move on.

There's a whole ocean out there for you to dip your rod in. Carpe Diem.

So whatever. It was just $10.

Hey you know, why don't we go play some ball later this week.

Lunch hour at the court. Like old time sakes.

You can work on your jumpshot.

I don't have a jumpshot. - That's exactly my point.

She is calling me all the time, she wants me to meet her parents, Look

I just think there should be an agreement, Some sort of conversation between the two parties.

Because until then, you should have the opportunity to entertain other options.

Does she know that?

God no, what are you kidding? She would never agree to that.

Not about the other options.

Come on.

So I fired that chick Christie already.

Why?

She showed up late for work her first three days.

Anyway, it doesn't matter, she has a boyfriend.

Have you..

Hired anyone else recently?

Mason, I hire people all the time.

No, I mean like..

Girls.

Someone's on the prowl huh?

Lemme think.. no.

But I'm not the only one that does hiring. Why?

Nothing.

Nothing huh. Alright, an office romance.

That can be a tricky thing.

Shit, I've had my wings cut in that nasty web quite a few times.

Fortunately it doesn't matter.

Just shoot the damn ball. You're never gonna get better unless you practise.

I don't want to get better.

And therein lies your problem.

Mason! Hey! Wait up.

Hey. -Hey! I missed you today at lunch.

Yeah, I.. - Do you always walk home? Don't have a car?

Oh. A nature thing, I get it.

What are you doing this weekend?

Nothing.

Are you going to the 'end of the promotion'-thing?

Because I was thinking about going, you should go.

You're very.. Happy.

That could be because somebody got all her numbers today.

I got all my numbers.

You know what that means Mason?

Coffee is safe again? - No, it was only one cup, didn't touch the pot!

It was surgical strikes Mason. Surgical strikes.

So anyway, now that I have conqured my current job, what should I do next?

I was thinking feminist or astronaut.

Probably feminist. I'm afraid of heights.

What does a feminist do?

Mostly just bitches about stuff.

Heh, I dunno. Oh! Maybe ninja!

I've always thought there aren't enough girl ninjas in the world.

I love that word by the way. Say it! Ninja!

C'mon Mason say it! Ninjaaa.

Ninja Mason, Ninja. Say it. - Ninja.

Doesn't that sound great? You know what you get?

You get a Karate chop!

That's gonna bruise. I've been practising.

Seriously, I just think it'd be nice to have a job that makes you feel good.

Um, I live here.

Okay.

Well, gee Mason. Thank you for walking me home.

Perhaps you would like to come in and have some coffee or something, look at my art?

Great. Alright I'll see you later.

Thank you.

For the umbrella.

Oh yeah. Of course.

These things are pretty rare in this town, but if you look hard you can find one.

Probably shouldn't get mine wet.

You suck at this game, you know that?

Stop whining.

Brings a sack to a party? At least he's not wearing his backpack.

Guys, just play the game.
