What's The Worst Day You Ever Had ?
I Don't Know. Today !
No, I Mean, Really.
Probably That Time I Got Arrested For Stealing Telephone Poles.
What's Going On ?
Remember That Story ? The One About The Father And The Daughter ?
What, That Drunk Guy ? Yeah. Yeah.
Did You Like That ? Yeah, I Did. It Was A Very Good Story.

They Wanna Make Me Shop Supervisor.
No.
You Wanna Get Outta Here ?
I Can't. I Gotta String Chairs. They Wanna Start Making Snow In The Morning.
No, I Don't Mean Just Here. I Mean, Get Outta Here.
Go Someplace Else. Where Do You Want To Go ?
It Doesn't Matter Where. Who Cares As Long As We're Outta Here ?
- Christ, Look At This Place. - What's Wrong With You, Burke ?

The Wings Have A Great Team. They're Goin' To The Cup And I Got Tickets.
Dexter, The Wings Are Never Gonna Go To The Cup.
And I'm About To Close The Deal With Rita Over At Sal's Place.
Oh, God, Dexter. Just Because You Had Her, She's Ruined For Mankind ?
I Never Touched Her. Oh, Bull, You Never Touched Her !
I Didn't. The Woman's Got A Tattoo Of Wile E. Coyote On Her Ass.
If You Never Touched Her, How Do You Know She's Got A Tattoo On Her Ass ?
That Is Not The Point ! What's The Point ?
The Point Is, You're Makin' Five Bucks An Hour Working On 200 Feet Of Landfill.
I Got My Name On The List At The Foundry. Oh, God.
What ? Is That All You Want Outta Life ?
No, It's Not All I Want. I Mean, I Got Plans.
What Are They ? T.J., I Got My Wants, You Know What I'm Sayin' ?
I Got Things That I'm Gonna Do.
What Things ? Things !
What Are Your Plans, Dex ?
Why Are You Doin' This To Me ?
'Cause I'm Gonna Leave.
