Understandable when you consider that, for about five years, you were his only male pain-in-the-ass role model. How is Greg where I'm not concerned? Mmm. A little pompous. Sometimes arrogant. Mostly loving and pleasant and talented. How talented? Greg, why don't you play something for us? Yes, do that. Okay. What'll it be, Zach? How about a little Buddy Holly? How about a little Chopin? How about a little... Cole Porter? Either I'm drunker than I thought, or your son's better than I am. You're sweet. And you're drunk. Me too. I know I've had too much to drink... because I'm feeling sorry for you tonight, Zach. Me too! I may regret this, but how can I help? How can you... I don't know. I thought a lot about you. And then when I heard about Sparky, I just felt I... had to talk to you, to see you. Hmm. Scared, huh? Scared? It scares me... getting older, friends dying. He knew he had some terrible cancer. Yeah, I think that's probably why he threw Curt out. Curt... I saw him a couple weeks ago. He'll never get over it. He's... Sparky probably thought he was being noble. Yeah, well, he was being selfish. You don't share 20 years with someone... then find out you're gonna die and not share that too. Well, Zach, I think it's pretty easy for us to stand here... Well, it's easy to stand here in judgment... when the guy we're talking about, by his own admission, was an egotistical, unsympathetic, - uncharitable, coldhearted, narcissistic... - I know. scoundrel. Nobody's perfect. Right. I'm glad you feel that way, because I was about to suggest... that we give it another try. "We"? Are you completely off your nut? Don't beg, Alex. It doesn't suit you. - Oh, Zach... - Oh, what? There are a lot of things about you... that I would highly recommend. But you're never gonna last with anyone. You may settle down for a while, but then something will happen. You'll get scared and start to look for some... thing, some... place. Some young girl to save you. You're on a merry-go-round, Zach. And the brass ring is just a brass ring. It solves nothing. I'm doomed? You're Zach. And you like merry-go-rounds. Okay, troops. Time to fold the tents. Oh. Barney, how about one itty-bitty one for the road? - You know what your problem is, Zach? - Yep. - Keys, Zach. - Nope. - You drink too much. - Yep. - Keys, Zach. - You're probably an alcoholic. - Yep. - Keys! But that's not my problem. You know what my problem is? I'm an addict. - Drugs? - Nope. Merry-go-rounds. I am not gonna let you drive. - You wanna go home with me, Zach? - Yep. - Let's go. - Can't. - Why not? - I'm just a kid. - You're sweet. - That too. Give me a call if you change your mind. I will give you a call even if I don't change my mind, okay? Okay. - Good night, Barney. - Sleep tight, sweetheart. Good night, Miss Jones. Oh, shit. You drank me out of tequila. It was a dirty job, but somebody had to do it. - Here. - Thank you, Barney. - Hello? - Alex? - Zach? - I think so. Oh, Zach, do you know what time it is? Just a minute. Alex wants to know what time it is. Shh! Five after 2:00. It's five after 2:00. Besides being drunk, what else is wrong? I forgot to ask you something very important. Yes? What the hell was it? - Oh, Zach, come on... - No, no, no, no. I re... I remember. Um, Alex, are you presently involved with anyone? Yes. - Yes? - Yes. Who? His name is Jonas Mallard. Sounds like a duck. - Zach... - Why wasn't he there tonight? Because he's in New York on business. Is it serious? Yes. Gonna get married? We've talked about it. I don't know whether you know it, but it's bad luck to marry a duck. Good night, Zach. Unless you're a duck. Even then, it's no guarantee it's gonna last. - Am I right? Are ducks monogamous? - No. Swans are. This guy's a duck. That was Alex. So I gathered.
