The first 200 lines.
Oh!
Um...
I got into the car at 2:00.
But then... I was coming here.
Well, I thought I was coming here.
But then Georgia wanted to go to the loft.
So then... You know, she's my fare home,
so then I had to go to the loft.
And when we got there, she was like,
"Well, now I want to take a nap." So...
Then I'm waiting for her to, like, wake up,
and then I fell asleep.
I have been asleep all night.
Are you angry?
Okay. How... How angry do you think I should be?
Do you think I should be, you know, really angry?
A little bit angry? What do you think would be
appropriate right now?
What's a good response? Go on.
A little angry.
Can it be less angry?
Mmm-hmm. We're not going to fight about this.
Fine by me. Just not going to do it.
Not going to do it. The same old things...
Going over and over again.
I get angry 'cause the only time I get to see you
is when you're hungover,
and you stay home all day and watch TV,
and then you say being out of work this long is
"affecting" you. And that isn't true?
And I say you're doing nothing to change your situation,
and you tell me you're going to prove me wrong,
and then I catch you lying, lying again to me, to yourself,
because you stay home all day,
and it's just talking in circles. I'm just getting so
tired of it! Tim...
Listen.
Georgia wanted to go to the loft.
I didn't even want to go.
Who the fuck is Georgia?
Natasha.
Gloria, you are... You're a mess.
You are out of control, and I love you,
but I cannot deal with you in that state.
What are you talking about?
So I've packed your things, they're in the bedroom.
What? What? You can keep the cases.
They're cheap ones. What?
I think it would be best for both of us if you were not here
when I got back. Okay? So, um...
Tim!
Goodbye.
I'm sorry. Tim!
Tim!
Yeah, that's him. Thank God!
...disgusting!
What do you think you're gonna get out of that?
Disgusting! I know!
Must have been... I don't know,
he must have never done anything
since she was, like, 12 years old.
Probably not.
Hey, Gloria! Where's the plug?
My phone is on red right now.
Trying to order some Chinese food... Who wants an apple?
No, I want Chinese food!
This is way too, like, healthy!
An apple, are you kidding me? No.
Excuse me. Oscar?
Gloria.
Gloria! Wow!
Oh, wow! Whoa.
I can't believe it! Uh...
Oh, my God, it's a miracle I recognized you!
Well, yeah, I mean...
Anyway! Hi.
Yeah, hi! Hello. Hi!
Wow! Uh, so, what are you doing here?
Uh, um, I needed a vacation.
And my parents hadn't rented out the house, and, you know,
I haven't been up here in so long,
so it's just like, you know... Sure.
Yeah. Yeah. What are you doing now?
Like, right now?
Nothing. Wanna hang out?
Yeah. Sure. Yeah, sure!
Yeah, come on, here, hop in!
Okay. Cool. Yeah. Uh...
Okay. Do you need any help?
Sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm still just totally blown away that you're actually here.
Yeah.
Um, where are we going?
Oh! Yeah! Uh, we're going to, uh, to work.
Work at the, uh, at the bar.
Oh, you work at the bar with your dad! That's nice.
Uh, well, no, it's... It's mine now.
Yeah. My, uh, dad passed away.
Oh, I'm sorry, Oscar. I'm really sorry.
It's all right.
Oh, when did that happen?
Uh, a few years ago.
He was a really nice guy.
Yeah.
How's your mom?
I bet that was really hard on her.
Uh, well, she died long before that.
Jesus. I'm so sorry.
Yeah. You were still living here.
Don't you remember? You went to the funeral.
Huh. It looks different than I remember.
Oh, well, yeah.
No, I did some renovations a while back.
Yeah, less and less people started showing up,
and I think the whole country-western thing
was scaring people away, honestly.
Wow! Hey!
I like it. Yeah?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Thought you would. It's more refined, right?
Yeah, I just wanted something that had a little bit more
of a classic-feeling bar. You know?
Something that doesn't necessarily need to rely on a theme
or anything like that.
Well, it has a theme. No, it doesn't.
No, I mean, it's got a vibe, yeah, for sure,
but, I mean, it doesn't have a theme.
No. What would the theme be? Like, a bar?
Hey, didn't this used to be bigger?
Yeah. Yeah. Good memory. Yeah.
I just ended up shutting that half down.
You know, we didn't need it, with the people and everything.
But it's all right.
Got a buddy that comes in every now and then that helps me out.
Most of the time I can just fend for myself, though, so...
You all right? Hmm?
You're just... Oh! Yeah.
It's this nervous tic I have. I get this itch right here...
You look like a monkey. Yeah.
I look like a monkey.
So what? You're Oscar's secret...
No.
We don't know anything about you.
We were, uh, friends in elementary school,
and then I moved to New York,
and I've lived there ever since.
Now I'm just... I'm visiting for a few days.
You know what your problem is?
What's my problem?
I used to live in New York, too, a while back.
I worked there for a few months in a print shop.
Then I met this guy who'd lost his passport
and he couldn't afford a new one,
so I decided to help him out,
let him stay with me for a while.
After a week of living with him,
I find out the police are looking for him
because he beat up his boyfriend.
Hey, Garth? Sorry, what's my problem?
What's your problem?
Yeah, you asked me did I know what my problem was,
and then you told a story, and I don't know what...
What does it have to do with me?
I didn't ask you that. Did I?
Yeah, you did. Sorry. He has this problem
that whenever he meets someone new, he gets very eager
and starts babbling a lot.
That is totally not true.
Sorry.
So, what do you think of Mainhead?
Has it changed a lot?
To tell you the truth, I have no fucking idea.
Right back here.
Holy shit!
Oscar, the horses! Oh, yeah, yeah, no, no.
Oh, my God, you kept this part the way it was! It's awesome!
Oscar, why don't you use it? It's so great!
Well, I told you, I didn't really need it.
Didn't really need it?
He ran out of money in the middle of the renovation.
Couldn't afford to finish it.
This is his dark little secret.
Like a lower back tattoo. Hey!
- Oscar! - Yeah.
You're nuts. This place is magical.
It's... Because it's not literal anymore!
It's like...
It's actually ironic now.
Want a Tic Tac? Why, does my breath smell?
- Hey, Oscar! - Mmm-hmm.
You got any teabags?
Why, do you want a cup of tea?
No, I want a teabag.
With the little string and the paper doohickey at the end...
Yes, I'm familiar with the concept. What do you need it for?
I'm gonna do a trick. I don't know your name.
Uh, Joel. Gloria.
Why do they always do that?
What?
They always introduce you to all the guys
