Chosen (杀无赦)

God, I hate these things.

- Ask that guy. - Manhattan? Excuse me.

Do you know what goes in a Manhattan?

Hmm?

I thought it was just whisky and cherry juice.

Cherry juice? Right?

I was trying to tell her.

Ha-ha-ha! No.

Not at all. You mind if I...?

Go ahead, man. I'm paid by the hour.

Heh-heh. Thank you.

You mind?

Just don't roofie me.

Not even a little bit?

You used to bartend or something?

Still do.

Whoa! Hey, okay. That's a little...

Doesn't knock you on your ass, it's not a Manhattan.

Where do you work?

Uh, downtown. The Trencherman. What about you?

ER, at County.

ER? You a doctor?

I am, yeah.

Holy. Okay, I'm slightly

even more so out of my league than I thought I was.

Ha-ha! Please. Heh-heh-heh.

What do you specialize in?

Emergency.

Yar. Yar. Late night.

Emergency room. Now it makes sense to me.

It's coming together. You know, it's all right.

I think they made a show about that.

Um, I'm Jacob, by the way.

Avery.

Now this is officially...

a Manhattan.

Just give it a whirl.

Mmm. It's great on the lips.

Wow. Jesus! Somebody put you to work?

Heh. Hey, bud. Glad you made it, buddy.

Hey, come on. I got some people I want you to meet.

Ah, no, no, no. Not tonight.

All right. Okay.

I gotta get going. I gotta go check on King.

I just wanted to stop by, say hello.

How is King anyway?

He's a pain my ass. Yeah. I bet.

Gotta take care, huh?

Yeah. Yeah.

All right, man, well, I'm just glad you stopped by.

You know, listen, I just, um...

Just wanna help you out.

That's all. That's all this is.

I'm good. All right? Thank you.

Okay. All right. Freshly single, by the way.

- Oh, fresh. - So, uh, be careful.

Thanks for that.

So how long have you known Max?

Dorms at Stanford Engineering.

Stanford? Wow.

Whatever.

You didn't want to go into tech like the rest of these guys?

On a napkin.

At his own party.

Is that douchey?

See? You could've been a douche too.

Well, how do you know I'm not?

I can tell.

You know, I could be putting on a really good show.

You know, like this is my alter ego.

Heh. What, like a superhero?

A douchey superhero.

Douche Man.

Yeah, that was a douchey joke.

Yeah, go ahead.

Hello? Hey, yeah.

What time?

No. Um... Yeah, I need it.

Okay.

A friend needs me to cover her shift at work.

Right now?

I should probably go find my jacket.

You know, I was gonna jet anyway. I'll help you.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

You sure you're okay to drive?

And possibly wield a scalpel?

A hundred percent. I'm clumsy even when I'm sober.

That's reassuring.

Let me help you find your jacket.

Yeah.

- That's amazing. - Do you think

you can define douche by the furniture that you have?

Because Max has...

I just blew smoke in your face. I'm really sorry.

I was actually gonna ask if I could bum one.

See, I don't believe you're a doctor.

I believe that this is against all rules.

I can fix myself, right?

Sure.

I was really hoping that my car wouldn't come first.

Why?

You know, uh... Turn around.

Excuse me?

Turn around.

I'm not sure I like this game.

Might call you.

Thank you for the drink.

Cherry juice? Really?

It's a fantastic pickup line.

Max, you dick.

Hey, Max, it's me.

Um...

Well, it's a wonderful little prank you pulled.

Not sure what it's supposed to mean, but, um...

Okay, look, I don't want the gun, all right?
