I want fresh.

Fine.

Bye, money.

What are you even doing home right now?

Shouldn't you be at church?

Don't you have, like, a job to to to?

They didn't need me to come in today.

But you stayed home yesterday too.

Something going on at work, huh?

'Cause this, this is unusual.

No.

Yes.

I got fired, okay?

Well, not fired. Let go.

What?

Why did they fire you?

They didn't fire me. I was let go.

Why were you let go?

No reasons.

Just cutbacks.

You're doing cocaine again, aren't you, Stephen?

Don't lie to me!

Always gotta find a way to bring that up.

Oh, my God, you are! That is it.

You are going straight back to rehab.

No! I'm never going back there.

I should have seen the signs, your weird behavior.

Now, you're fired from church.

Then you said that mean thing about my hair.

Oh, my God, again with the hair.

Please, we already fought about the hair.

Look, I'm sorry I don't like your haircut, okay?

It looks fucking stupid.

Get over it!

My hair is age appropriate, unlike you,

trying to look young with frosted tips.

You look old and desperate.

You're thinking you're some hot rock star doing coke?

It's sad.

Fuck you.

Telling your wife "fuck you"

under your breath... pathetic!

An unemployed, cokehead piece of shit who sulks all day,

can't even support his kids.

But don't worry, he still wears ripped jeans

and spends all day learning Kings From Leon

You wanna push my buttons? Fine.

Let me tell it to you loud and clear so you can hear me.

Fuck you!
