SSam

The thing I said earlier? You know, I said a lot of things earlier. You're gonna have to be more specific.

Well, I don't remember word for word, but...

SSam

This is good. Aluminium frame. You can lug this around for a few months, right?

I-- I was whining about Grace, and you said something like: "Those people know a lot about the legal system."

SSam

Oh, right. Yeah, that was a joke. Here, you gotta try it on to see.

So, when you said "those people," you meant blacks?

SSam

Right.

So it was a joke about how blacks are criminals?

SSam

Oh, it's not like I think all blacks are criminals. I'm sure lots aren't.

Most. Most aren't.

SSam

Whatever. Most.

It's a big difference.

SSam

Fine. What--? What's your point? That I'm a racist? 'Cause I'm not. I got, like, three black guys working for me, so--

Look, I'm not attacking you. I just wanna know how you feel. 'Cause for me, I don't think that race should be an issue.

SSam

You don't think there's any difference between blacks and whites?

No.

SSam

So, when you're driving through the tenderloin at night and you lock your doors, what's that about?

That's not because it's a black neighbourhood. It's because it's an unsafe neighbourhood.

SSam

Oh, so you lock your doors in unsafe white neighbourhoods too? Hard to say, right? It's 'cause there aren't any.

[Scoffs] That is not true. And besides, it's more complicated than that.

SSam

Oh, of course it is. Look, this is a stupid thing to fight about. I-I-- I'm sorry if the joke made you uncomfortable. I won't make jokes like that anymore. Okay? Hey, check it out. Daypack inserts. We should get some of those.

[about him talking to Grace's parents] What'd I do wrong? Am I being too nice? Is that it? You think I'm kissing up to them?

No, you're not. That's the problem. You're just being you.

Right. Okay, that's the problem. I'll just start being someone else.

No, wait. Look, it's... In my whole life I've been struggling to find a me that's different than them. Honestly, it's like... My meter for making decisions: If they object, do it. Then all of a sudden, I fall in love with you. And outta nowhere, they decide it's the best idea they've ever heard.

So?

So they're out there right now thinking they've won. Thinking I've stepped in line and I've decided to behave or something. It's just...

Look, I know that's not what's going on here, and you know it. What's the harm in letting them think that they've won just this once?

Well, the harm is... The harm is... The harm is it bugs me. Look, I know I'm being a baby about this. But can't you just let me do that just this once?

Just this once.

Cake time.

[slurring] Hey, I'm in here.

Bailey, what are you--? I thought you were hiring a clown.

Clowns are expensive. And very hard to book at the last minute. "No, I can't do it." "Sorry, I'm busy." Jerks.

Are you okay? Maybe you should--

You know what, Grace? You tell too many people what to do. Maybe if you were less of a bitch, more people would like you.

Hey, what the hell--?

Every clown was booked.

[Charlie laughs]

Bailey; This whole thing's been a major hassle, and I don't need to hear about it from either of you.

Sorry.

Give me this.

SSam

So, you feeling better?

About what?

SSam

Oh, man, you didn't see? I was a saint to those people. I brought 'em drinks, chatted with 'em. I'll try and swing by after work, okay?

AAll

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Owen. Happy birthday to you.

Well, that pretty much sucked.

WWoman

Blow it out.

Yeah!

Whoa!

Bailey.

Who the hell put that there?

What's going on?

He's ripped.

Oh my God.

He--? He's what?

Drunk. Really drunk. Okay, so it's a little messed up, but it's a lot more fun that way, right?

Hey, what did you expect?! I've never done this before. You expect a first-time clown not to make any mistakes? Huh?!

BBoy

I want my mom.

Oh, God, don't cry. He's crying!

Bay, come on, let's get outta here.

I'm talking to my friend, here. I'm teaching him how to be a man.

Bay, I said, come on.

I said, I'm talking!

Charlie.

Oh, my God. Charlie, are you okay?

I'm fine.

It was-- He pushed-- It was an accident. The hell with all of you.

WWoman

I think it's time to go.

MMan

I think that's a good idea.
