Give me back my glove!

Try it, fat ass!

Adam!

I will kill you if you do not give me back my glove!

That is me, Adam. I was one fat, angry little fuck.

Try it, fat ass!

I will kill you!

Adam! I just mopped this floor. Leave your brother alone!

Jerry! Jerry, do something.

That is my brother Ross. I think the little dance says it all.

Ross, let your brother in the house.

[GLASS SHATTERING]

Adam!

[OFFICE PHONE RINGS]

Hey, thank you for calling. Are you looking to purchase or refinance today?

Will you be on the loan by yourself or with your wife?

This is what the appraiser is going to look for and I want to make sure.

Were you majorly renovating the house or it does it need any structural repairs.

We need to look at income, assets and credit. Everything.

Taking a look at your pay stubs, income. Everything looks great.

Your credit score is going to get you a great rate.

Visible water damage or like chipped and peeling paint?

Let us see what we can approve you for.

That is going to save you over sixty five hundred dollars over the next five years.

You are in awesome hands. We will take fantastic care of you. No worries.

Would you like the appraiser to come Thursday or come Saturday?

May I fax or mail you the documents?

As far as the deposit, do you want to use a credit card or a debit card?

Congratulations on your new mortgage. It has been a pleasure and I look forward to seeing

you through the process.

[ELEVATOR BELL]

It is a very good question.

Um look, the money you save in the first two years will cover any raise

the adjustable mortgage may undergo.

It may not even go up. That is dependent on the market.

In my experience it often stays right where it is.

It could even go down. Yeah.

Yes I have actually seen it go down.

I have all the time in the world for you Mrs. Lennick.

Shit.

Mrs. Lennick, Mrs. Lennick. If I did not care I would not have given you my cell phone number.

Right? And I would not have answered your call this morning or on any of the other mornings

for the past one hundred and eighty days.

Perfect. Ok. Go ahead.

Perfect.

Ok. Great. Talk soon.

A mortgage, typically is the largest financial transaction of the clients life.

Your correct handling of these things that freak them out will put the client at ease.

Adam, glad to see you could make it.

Sorry, I was just on the phone.

Do not chase money. Become an expert. Trust me, the money will follow.

If you just chase numbers and you chase money you will just end up you know

spinning in circles and chasing your tail.

And you will also end up late to sales meetings.

[CHUCKLING]

Alright, that is ten thirty. The west coast leads will be queued up shortly.

Be at your desks and dialed in.

Adam.

He just told me that you know there are just much higher expectations of me because

I have the most potential. So I told him that I closed Mrs. Lennick.

That is a shit lead, ok? I threw her name out six months ago.

That is because Nick Kahn, everybody, sucks at selling mortgages. Right, Nick?

Alright, I just do not waste my time.

On completely viable clients?

What the hell does Mickey care about some seventy thousand dollar mortgage?

Because she may have only been seventy thousand dollars,

her boss is looking at three million dollar homes in Bloomfield Hills.

Shots!

Can I get you a cranberry juice, Nick?

Hey uh, shots of Chivas, please?

So, guess who I saw at the Lark last night.

Is this going anywhere or you just want me to know that you were at the Lark?

It was my nanna's birthday, ok? But at the valet, I ran into Henry Schoeler.

Two bit hack.

Two bit or no, he was picking up his Lamborghini.

What? Really?

The guy left Fidelity with a list full of names stuffed in his pants

and opened up his own shop.

Wait, has Fidelity noticed that he is poaching their clients?

Well it does not really matter. It would be too expensive to prosecute and

what is a million a year to them, right?

Well that takes some balls. Cheers.

This is on you, Chief.

Excuse me. Hi.

Bathroom is over there.

No, I was just

You see, you caught my eye from across the bar.

Did anyone check your ID?

Is that a line?

Excuse me?

I mean if you wanted to know my name you could just ask.

You do not have to look at my drivers license.

Fine.

[DOG MOANS]

Hey girl, you hungry?

Lamb and beef or beef and liver?

[DOG BEGS]

Yeah? Beef and liver.

[HIP HOP PLAYS IN THE CAR]

Huh.

[ENGINE REVS]

[DOG MOANS]

Go get her.

[DOG BARKS]

She is not running away, she just hates my car. Sorry, thank you.

Yeah, you should not let her run across the street like that.

Good girl, good girl,

Hey,

Medium cappuccino non-fat milk?

Thank you, Allen.

What to get, what to get?

What did you get?

Cappuccino.

Oooh, that sounds good.

What is that, exactly? I am always confused by the cappuccino

and the Americano with the macchiato and the other thing.

Why not just come into the bar instead of stalking me on the street?

I am sorry, do I know you?

Oh, God.

What?

Oh, I am sorry. Today it is for to go.

No, no, do not do that. Tell me how I know you. She wants it for here actually.

No, I know what I want.

Ok, fine. If you are gonna get it to go, can I walk with you?

Are you serious?

Yes.

Uh, fine.

Yeah? To go.

Thank you.

Let me just grab her.

Are you going to properly introduce us this time?

Oh, yeah this is Alex. Alex, this is the beautiful girl I met at the beer company that I

pretended not to remember when I pretended to bump into her.

[CHUCKLES]

She gave me her name but not her number.

And if you really wanted it you would work harder to get it.

Adam, Misgar.

Christine.

So do I have to do pushups for a surname?

One step at a time, buddy.

Well, Christine, where are we going?

This way.

I am surprised I have never seen you in that spot.

We are here.

Oh, right. You were just coming in.

So, do I get your number?

You are supposed to tell me how breathtakingly beautiful I look.

Oh, ok. You are without a doubt

the most beautiful and enchanting girl that I have ever seen.

This light is undeserving of your presence.

Come on. That was good.

All ten.

Come on.

[UPBEAT POP MUSIC]

What are you doing?

Hey, Mickey. Angel said you wanted to see me?

Did Frank quit?

Quality control caught the son of a bitch. He was like a factory for forging paperwork.

So clean cut and he pulls that shit. I will not have it.

How was dinner?

It was excellent.

Did you bring along that astonishing creature that you are--

Christine. Yeah you know it has been a month.

You are nervous. Do not be.

I brought you up here because I would like you to be Franks replacement.

Director?

It is more work but it is more rewarding. And on occasion people will disappoint you.

The responsibillity will be to either improve their performance or let them go.

Your friends, Adam.

Stay focused. See the long view.

I think I am gonna buy that building.

[TRIBAL MUSIC]

[PARTY SOUNDS]

Adam. Hey, Adam. Hey, check this. Plasma screen, pin ball machine, outdoor pizza oven.

It is a lake house not a Shakeys.

If anything, it would be a Chuck E. Cheese.

Hey, I want you to grab everyone that does not have a vagina and bring them out on the deck.

And I want you to check Nick Kahn for a vagina because I am skeptical.

Boys!

Ross, what the fuck is your problem?

Nothing. Nothing, great party.

Just tell me. Better now than later in between crying and puking. What? What?

I got fired.

Oh, wow. That is three for three.

Hey, I got a real job, making you look good.

Jesus, Ross.

I am on the clock, right now.

Hey, come outside. It will make you feel better. Come on.

Alright!

Fellas, I am sure you are wondering why you are all here.

Christine is not pregnant.

So, Frank got fired and Mickey promoted me to Director.

Bam!

[CROWD CHEERS AND WOOHS]

Yes!

Trent is going to be my right hand man. Nick Kahn,

I do not know about you. You are going to have to show me something, buddy.

[CROWD LAUGHS AND JEERS]

Adam!

Oh, Jesus Christ, Adam.

You better, you scared me.

Hey, you should just come work for me.

Yeah, I could not wear that business casual bullshit.

Oh, no, it would be different. I am the boss. No, you could have a beard.

You can smoke a joint at the desk for all I care just as long as you close deals.

I am not a closer. I could not even negotiate keeping my own dog when Trish left.

Hey, hey, hey, you know what you need?

No, what? What do I need?

You know what you need? You need, you need confidence.

That is what you need. You gotta grab life by the balls, alright?

Yeah. You are a drunk motherfucker.

Yes! Yes I am. polar bear!

[CROWD CHEERS]

You know, next time, I want a lake house, I am gonna buy the goddamned thing in the summer!

Wooooooh!

[POPPING SOUND]

That pop you heard, it haunts me. I dove straight into three feet of water.

My neck snapped forward. My entire body went stiff for a fraction of a second

and then I went completely limp.

They say, give a man a long enough rope and he will hang himself.

What they forget to tell you. Give a man a long enough dick and he will fuck himself.

[FRANTIC SCREAMING]

[ER SOUNDS]

Boy you really did it this time.

[INTERMITTENT BEATS OF A HEART RATE MONITOR]

[GROANS]

Adam. Oh!

I gotta get out of this boat.

I will get the doctor.

Ross.

Yeah, man we are here.

Adam, you are in the hospital.

Huh, I have a big meeting tomorrow.

Hey, do not worry about that.

I almost died waint for you to wake up.

I will be fine. Hey, Ross.

Yeah.

Is Christine here?

Hello, Adam.

Doc, he woke up.

I am Dr. Corbin. How are you?

Hey.

Do you feel up for some conversation?

Yeah, what happened?

The good news is, some feeling and movement should be returning to your arms and shoulder area.

When you made impact, your head snapped forward and your sixth and seventh vertebrae

were shattered.

Yeah.

I fused two new vertebrae from our bone bank here.

Statistically we are looking at some form of long-term paralysis.

What? Like what, paralyzed?

Yes.

For good?

Hey, Ross. Ross, I cannot feel my hand.

Nurse, could you bring me two milligrams of Adevan please?

Look, every case is different but statistically, you may never regain any more function

than you are capable of right now.

But possibly he could.

Well yes, anything is possible, of course.

[CRYING]

[SAD MUSIC]

You will get it.

Just give me another fork.

Adam, what may have worked for you in the past is not gonna work for you now.

We are teaching you accommodation strategies.

Accommodate me with a fork, asshole.

Hey, yeah. Cocky fuck.

Lucky, do not encourage him.

Ok.

Meeting time. Everybody turn off your cell phones and that computer in your head

telling you you are dead and you are not. You are not dead, you are here.

Now let us see who is here. Oh!

It is cocky fuck.

Hey cocky fuck.

Alright, the gang is all here. So what do you say guys, we all try and heal each other.

My name is Lucky.

We got Pete the turtle. Just put him on his back and you just watch him go, man.

[WHISTLES]

Larry, Larry the leaper. Tell us your story.

Skydiving '84. Kind of stuck after that.

Where, in a tree or in a chair? Or in a bad marriage?

Hey, you do not want to get into a slap battle with this nut job.

Trust me on that, ok, cocky fuck. And we will get to you in a second but first,

our speaker of the evening, my friend handsome Jim. He is gonna tell us his story.

Thank you Lucky.

I will tell you cripples now, sooner than later. It is a struggle.

Nothing is the same. Cannot eat the same. Cannot sleep the same. Cannot work the same.

Cannot even fuck the same. It is a struggle. The bottom line is we are still in the game.

Yes we are.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Uh, cocky fuck. Shall we get to you now?

You can get to kissing my ass, Lucky.

Um, no. I would rather not do that. I do not kiss asses.

Espescially some punk like you, ok?

And do not speak to me like that ever again, ok?

I am not trying to be hostile to you but if you do I will kill you.

But I sense hostillity. I do not like it, particularly in myself.

I want to kill this son of a bitch but I am not gonna.

If I kill you I would have to kill everybody in the room. I do not want to do that.

No witnesses. So how about this? How about we have a little dexterity break, ok?

Now since we are cripples we are gonna play hoops but with a balloon.

And we are gonna pretend we are in water.

Oh, it is cold in here. Oooh.

Come on your cipples, get up and do something. Box out.

Oh, son of a--

[ACCOUSTIC MUSIC]

Alright, you can go for a turn now, alright?

One, two, three.

Good, huh? Getting better.

Look at this asshole. I am joking. Yeah, much better.

Adam. Ok, let us go everybody. Keep pulling, moving it. Pull it. Pull it. Good girl!

Yeah, that is great. Great job.

Ok. Adam, you got a visitor.

It is not my mom is it?

Hope not.

Hi.

Hi. That is it?

Adam, I am sorry. I am not very good with this kind of stuff.

I do not know what else to say.

Well you have had a really long fucking time to think about it. Where have you been?

You are here now. Let us just go from there.

So, it is going ok?

It is going great. This is all just temporary. I am getting stronger every day.

It is just taking a little longer than I thought.

Uh, so.

Well you look good.

Thanks.

[SAD PIANO MUSIC]

They are here. There are here. Let us go, Ross.

Oh, Jerry! That is not gonna hold.

Oh do not start on me.

First of all you do not know what you are talking about.

And second of all, I screwed it together. The duct tape is for weatherproofing and traction.

And it looks cool.

Check out this rig.

Welcome home!

Hey, there he is.

Hi, John. I called that home maid service. They are sending somone in the morning.

Hey, nice wheels.

Son.

Well let us get out of the cold.

Here, I will get the door.

Alright.

Your dad built that ramp for you. Is that nice?

Yeah, it did not cost anything either.

Just get me inside.

Come on John, that is not going anywhere.

Alex.

[DOG GROWLS AND BARKS]

There is my--. Come here.

Hey, hey, hey. It is ok, it is me. Alex.

Take me to my bed back there.

You are gonna want to pull up these runners so his chair does not catch.

Well you just rolled over them.

Do not argue. Just do what he said.

I will tape them down.

I know sweetie. You will get it.

Why so blue?

I just lay around like a fucking throw pillow.

Let us just get you out of there.

Jerry.

What do you want?

We need to get him out of there.

Ross!

Quit fussing over him, Arlene.

Yeah?

We gotta get him out.

Ok. What is the plan?

Well we put him in there. We should be able to figure out how to get him out.

He is wet now though. Be careful. He is slippery.

Just get out.

Alright, we cannot just leave you in there. Dad, grab his legs.

You will catch pneumonia.

Get out, I do not want him here.

Grab his legs.

Look, leave me alone! Leave me the fuck alone! Get the fuck out!

Ok, I am sorry.

Hey, Ross.

[LOUD DANCE MUSIC PLAYS INSIDE THE CAR]

[DOORBELL]

I will get that.

Oh, thank you.

Is he in there?

Yes.

Who is that?

What the fuck? Do not fucking touch me, I am fine.

Just get out.

Be careful. You are gonna fucking drop me.

[BARKING DOG]

Watch the dog. There is a dog. There is a dog. Do you even know what you are doing you fat fuck?

Come on.

The other one! The other one! Just slow down. Be careful. You are sweating all over me.

Do not leave him in there like that. He has no control over his body temperature.

It is very dangerous.

You are on your own with this asshole!

By, fatso.

It is a good, hot dish, mom.

Thank you.

It is not too much salt?

Maybe.

It is perfect.

It is alright.

Arlene

Yes, Jerry.

He can do that himself.

There is no shame in asking for a hittle help.

He did not ask.

[UPBEAT MUSIC] [DOORBELL]

Hi.

Up and Adam. I am Susan. Everybody calls me Suzie.

I do not know why I do not just introduce myself as Suzie in the first place.

It would save so much time. When I tell people what I do they always say it must feel so good

to have a job with so much meaning or

or wow! It must really help put your own life in perspective. And all of that is true.

Get out.

You sound just like my mother.

Get the fuck out of my house.

[PHONE DIALING]

[LOUD ADHESIVE RIPPING SOUND]

Dad.

Hey, kiddo. Just thought you might like a little recreation.

Alright. Watch your head.

[DOG MOANS]

Hey! Come here you little asshole.

Hey dad, did you call the service?

Yep. They are sending someone.

Did you go through the list of the things that we did not want?

Yeah, they are aware.

When are they coming?

Today.

What time?

Oh I do not know. Soon I guess. I am not sure but what is the rush?

Well I am pretty sure I am gonna have to drop the kids off at the pool at some point. Just-- ugh.

Huh?

The kids, the pool. That--

Oh, yeah.

I have not put you on that yet, before. Mmm Mmm.

Yeah, no well that thing is pretty self-explanatory but

there is also supositories and paperwork involved and--

Sheesh.

[PHONE VIBRATES]

I will give you a little privacy.

[KNOCKING AT THE DOOR]

Crippled body, sad story. Crippled mind, this is tragedy. Sasha!

Sasha is husband. In Siberia, I was nurse.

Frankly, should be funnier.

Hey Sasha, what did you do?

No, look. I. I am just not good at these things.

I am not good at this. Boo hoo. I am Adam. I am big American baby. Do it.

I am gonna fall. I am gonna.

Yeah. That worked.

Why you keep toilet in bedroom?

Because it is easier.

In Russia, even trained bear does not make toilet in bedroom.

How many animals did you have?

Monkey, bear, goat. Sometime I tell you goat story. Okay, let us go.

You need to shave. Sasha!

This is a problem. Sasha will lower this.

It is fine where it is.

Okay, grow beautiful communist beard.

Top work. This is top.

Stop dancing.

You wanna jump in here? Help me pull down my pants?

Hey man, I was wondering if you could spot me a little cash.

What?

You know, I am just a little short. I will pay you back.

Fuck off.

Seriously, help me out.

What do you mean you cannot? Come on, stop fucking around.

Look, I am not. I had $80,000 worth of hospital expenses, and I have no income.

Okay, I cannot work.

What do you mean you cannot work? It is not like you were a figure skater.

You sold mortgages over the phone.

Look. God dammit Ross!

What?

I am sorry I even asked. Really.

I just. Just get me out of here. Let us go get a drink.

I cannot stand up. Um. I got a woody.

Fuck off. Please just get me out of here.

[ROCK MUSIC]

Remember we used to call up Mr. Chins, and order half an egg roll?

Sometime life is horrible. Every day we wake up, we make choice. Get out of bed, or stay in bed.

Make choice to live, I get up. Make choice to die, I stay in bed. Am I victim or survivor?

Simple. I make choice. I am survivor.

Yevgeniya?

[INDIE ROCK MUSIC]

Now I just need to figure out how to work these pedals.

This is no good. This no work.

You have a better idea?

[MECHANICAL WHIRRING]

Ooh! Blue is nice.

Hey. Cocky fuck.

Ah. Lucky. Lucky. Lucky.

You know, I do not remember ordering my vehicle from the crippled soccer moms collection.

This is good for you.

Yeah. Come on now. Get in there. We got shit to do. Okay? Nice meeting you all. Okay?

Hey Lucky, this my brother Ross. He is gonna be joining us.

Hey.

Okay. If you are coming, you are pushing.

Okay. This thing works exactly like a car, only you can reach everything with your hands.

Gas, break, everything is right here on the steering wheel.

A crippled monkey could drive this thing. Really. Which, you just might be.

Hey man, I think we are in a 35.

Do not be such a pussy. Okay pussy?

What?

I am an excellent driver.

So how did you get the name Lucky?

Well the first time I dove off the Belle Isle bridge. And the second time I

rode myself straight down an exit ramp. Swerving bitches.

Then I realized I was waisting time trying to kill myself, so now I play the lottery.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Because I am so goddamned Lucky!

So what made you stop trying to--

Oh. I had a baby. He could not talk yet, but he had this look in his eye that was thinking,

so you are gonna off yourself today daddy?

I could not have that little judgmental bastard outliving me.

What the fuck?

Wait. So you had a kid? I thought that. I mean.

Drugs. They have one they give you that is an injection, but it makes the dick get big,

and the head stay small. Makes it look like an earthworm, you know?

Viagra though, now that is a very good drug. A very good drug.

Do not get your hopes up though. These are not magical boner beans.

Yeah. I do not. I do not know if I could...

Well look, there is only one way to find out. Just make sure you are with somebody. Not me.

Oh. I am so glad to be back here. That guy is a psycho.

Well, maybe, but at least he is still in the game.

Sorta.

So how much do you need?

Oh. No, man.

I am giving you the money. But, this is it. I mean it Ross.

Hey, you cannot afford to.

I am going back to work.

Thanks man. I will not let you down.

Well, the humiliation does not stop here man. You are gonna have to help write the check.

[OLD SCHOOL HIP-HOP MUSIC]

You say he is just a friend.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

That is a handicapped spot.

Jerk.

Oh. I am sorry. I did not realize.

Control your bitch, Morey.

We are gonna be at Triple C with some of the Tigers bench.

So you fill out clients applications for them? You also refinance dead people?

Every once in a while.

I was kidding.

Well, just to start with, I mean, uh, I thought we would have a few months

to syphon off Mickeys old clients. But he switched off the spigot within a week.

This is evil.

Everybody else is doing it.

Mickey is not.

The money is going to go somewhere, right? Why not here?

Where are you getting your leads?

Do not ask. So, let us get you a desk. Get you started.

[CAR HORN HONKS REPEATEDLY]

Adam, you are very late. Where is van?

That van is a piece of shit.

You think this is so?

Yes! I think this is so, goddammit!

You are acting like child. I did nothing wrong.

Hey, hey. Is this what you do? You swoop in to buck up the paralyzed,

because you have nothing else? Your life is so empty that you decide you want to fill it with

massaging and wiping the asses of the feeble?

This is unacceptable.

This is. This is unacceptable. You are pathetic!

I quit.

Good.

Oh my god.

I am fine. Just get me to the bed.

Okay. Alright, um. Oh, jeez.

Okay.

Are you sure you are alright?

I am never gonna walk again am I?

Oh, come on, kiddo. You heard what the doctor said.

Dad. Please.

No. You are not. I am sorry son. Oh. I am so very sorry.

Oh, Adam.

[SAD PIANO MUSIC]

[SOBBING]

Oh, god.

Thousands of runners turned out this morning for the annual Detroit Free Press marathon.

I got up this morning, and I felt good, which sometimes that is scary. Because you

do not want to feel too good too early, and I did not move into first until we turned

that corner, you know. I mean 25 1/2, 26 miles trailing, and there we go, so

you never know what is gonna happen until you put it all on the line.

I got married this year. I had a baby, and this is just a great topper.

I am a little emotional, but I am excited, and I am happy.

A lot of happy people.

Absolutely.

And exhausted people I am sure. But congratulations to all who participated.

[SAD PIANO MUSIC]

Do it. Do it!

You have alway been patient with me, and I have gave you nothing in return.

Honey? Well, I never expected any...

I know. I know. I am just. I am just saying thanks is all.

Sweet boy.

[UPBEAT CLASSICAL MUSIC]

Oh, hey. I noticed your jams are all dinged up. We can widen the door frames if you want us to.

You will not always be hitting them with the chair.

Yeah, that would be great.

Did you decide on a color for the bedroom?

Oh shit, uh yeah. Hey, uh, ma.

What?

Hey, uh, you wanna pick out a color for the bedroom?

What? Your bedroom?

Ma. Keep it manly.

Manly, alright.

Sabertooth. Palomino Saddle.

Palomino saddle. Ma, why not you just make it the color of your shirt?

This is fun.

You two have fun.

Thank you.

Uh huh, you are welcome.

You are dead.

Hey kiddo, look here. I rigged something up for you. Put that on your hand.

That way you can get a grip on your razor if you are shaving,

and I do not know turn it upside down, and use a pen, paintbrush, whatever.

Thanks, dad.

Yeah. Want a beer?

Hey, yeah. I would love a beer.

No beers for you until you are done with your chores.

Chores. Who does chores?

Did they already give you one of those in rehab?

Yeah, but uh this one is better. Hey, Ross.

Yeah?

Come here.

Bow to me bitch.

Actually hurt my hand. What is going on down there? Boner?

[UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

I was, uh, I was angry, and disrespectful. And, you treated me like a person.

And, I treated you like, you know, like I used to treat a lot of people.

But you are. You are really special, you know and you are kind, and you are generous.

Oh, okay. Blah. Blah. Blah. What is point?

I intend on becoming fully independent. I am having the entire house redone

just for that purpose. But, being independent means I need you.

Just come back. Please.

Okay. I come back. But now I am busy.

Alright, but only two days a week. No, three. Independence.

[DOG BARKING]

Hey, Mickey.

Adam. You gonna invited me in?

Uh. Yeah. Yeah. No of course. Come in.

I uh, grew up around here. My old man owned a bar on, uh, Seven mile and Woodward.

The joint was doing alright for about 10 years,

and then the hookers moved in, and the vice squad shut him down.

Yeah I uh, I heard the stories.

Hey, you wanna see my socks.? Look at that.

Huh?

You like mine?

Oh.

Ah. It is all over my sock. Gross.

How come you have not been returning my calls?

Um, I did not know what to say. You know even if I did come back to work.

My performance would be non- existent.

No. I do not believe that.

I do not need the money, if that is what this is about.

I have no idea what it is you deal with on a daily basis.

But, what I do know is that you bring a lot of valuable intangibles to the company.

You can hang a zero for production for all I care, Adam.

But, you have no idea of the impact that you make on the people arouund the office.

Thank you.

As unfortunate as your accident was, at least you are alive for the next opportunity.

Your job will be waiting for you. When you are ready for it.

I uh, did work pretty hard for that promotion.

Oh, no. No. No. That is gone. Cannot have a team without a leader.

If another director spot opens up eventually, and if you decide to come back,

I have no doubt that it will be yours.

Well, um. I will think about it.

Hmm.

No. No. I will get the door.

Hey, uh. Thanks, Mickey. I mean it.

[DOOR BELL RINGS]

Yevgeniya. Doorbell.

Adam this is obvious.

Hello, stranger. I get coat.

Adam, I just did not--

You do not need to apologize.

I am ashamed about what I did. Will you forgive me?

You know, I uh, I hated you for a long time.

And I thought about it, and if, if this had happened to you, I would not have stuck around.

And I thought about it, and if, if this had happened to you, I would not have stuck around.

Woah.

How are we on time?

Um.

23 minutes.

And?

You tell me.

We have lift off.

Really?

Uh Hmm.

Oh my god.

Is it in?

Yeah. How does it feel?

Good. And you?

I feel wonderful.

[MELODIC MUSIC]

Hey.

Hey.

I gotta run.

Christine?

Yeah?

Um. It is not gonna work.

Last night. It. It was the first time in a long time that I felt good about myself.

Being with a quadriplegic is not going to make you a better person.

I am sorry.

Me too.

You are late.

Sorry. It will not happen again.
