:03:00
The pelican story?
:03:01
Right.
No one else has it.
:03:03
This old Cuban guy
is training pelicans --
:03:05
To drop bombs --
the most asinine thing
I ever heard.
:03:07
Come on.
He tried to kill Castro
with a bird!
:03:09
Eliot,
I gave you an assignment,
and you will do it.
:03:11
Or what, Ken?
:03:13
Well, if you want
to continue working
at this newspaper,
:03:17
you will put something
in here before you go home.
:03:20
Why don't I put something
in there right now?
:03:22
Eliot: Deeber picked
the wrong day to be a jerk.
:03:26
Earlier that day,
I had found out
:03:28
my wife was having an affair
with her tennis instructor.
:03:32
In retrospect,
:03:34
I should have written
the day-care crisis piece
:03:36
and never opened
Eliot Arnold Advertising.
:03:39
And if you think I'm gonna pay
for this stupid shit,
:03:40
you can forget it!
:03:42
I'm not paying for ugly!
I can get ugly for free!
:03:45
It goes without saying,
Bruce.
:03:50
[ Clears throat ]
Eliot.
:03:52
Dad, I need to borrow
the Geo tonight.
:03:54
Hello, Nigel.
How's London?
:03:55
Nigel?
:03:56
Foggy.
:03:58
Ah, could you hold on, Nigel,
just for a moment?
:04:00
This is a really
important call --
long-distance.
:04:02
Listen,
I want to see it tomorrow,
and it better be right!
:04:05
All right, Bruce.
I think we got it,
uh, well on its way!
:04:08
-- Good!
:04:09
Hey, matt, how you doing?
:04:10
Dad, can w-we borrow
the stupid Geo tonight
or not?
:04:13
Because me and Andrew
have to kill a girl.
:04:15
"Andrew and I
have to kill a girl."
:04:17
Thank you.
:04:18
Yes, you can borrow
the Geo tonight,
:04:21
but I need it back at my
apartment at, uh, 1 0:30, okay?
:04:24
-- Okay.
-- And I want you to promise me
that you'll drive --
:04:29
...carefully.
:04:31
Eliot: matt wasn't mad at me
because of the divorce.
:04:33
He was mad
because I bought a Geo.
:04:35
Sweet little vehicle.
:04:37
Just get divorced?
:04:38
Ah, it doesn't matter.
:04:39
42 miles to the gallon,
am/fm radio.
:04:41
I'll even throw in
the undercoating.
:04:43
Anything else
you'd like to know?
:04:45
Yeah. How many clowns
can it hold?
:04:48
Eliot: To matt, the Geo was
a 48-mile-per-gallon symbol
:04:52
of my bad luck, wrong choices,
and missed opportunities.
