Everything OK? Well, now that you ask, no, not really. My kid needs braces on her teeth. My car needs a transmission job. My wife wants me to take her to Florida. But I'm behind on the mortgage payments. My uncle called from India and he needs money for my niece's wedding, and I got this strange rash on my back - you name it, brother. - How 'bout you? - I'm OK. - OK, well, have a nice day. - OK, you too. Yeah. I doubt it.

You know the... that cute little brunette from the, uh, from the doughnut place? Yeah, yeah. She's pretty hot. Yeah. Turns out she lives in my neighbourhood. Yeah. The other day, I come home from work. I'm, you know, tired, I'm having a beer, all right? I hear a knock at the door. - I open it and it's her! - Really? Oh, man! She is all made up, looking, like, really good. So what happened? Well, we just talked there at the door for like a while, you know, and she was, like, laughing a lot. She was, you know, making eye contact, you know... - I... She wanted to hang out. - So then what? Well, we just, you know, we had, like, a really nice conversation and then, you know, I-I-I was really tired and everything. I hadn't really showered or anything, so she left. She left? Yeah, but you know... I mean, I know what she wanted. Right? Yeah. Yeah, for-for sure, Jimmy. These females are outta control. - Right. - You know?
Paterson
Yeah. Well, I-I had a similar thing happen last week, man. - Oh yeah? - Yeah, check this out. I'm at Larry's barbecue party on Sunday, right? - Larry had a barbecue? - Yeah, the barbecue party. And, uh, I'm just standing out there on the deck, right? And I'd already eaten a lot, and I'm just having a beer, right? And you know that blonde friend of Larry's girlfriend, um, Rita? - I'm not sure you met her. - I don't know Rita. Well, she is, like, super hot! Right? - Oh, yeah. - And just like, stacked too. Just beautiful curves. Like an animal. And, you know, she comes over to me and she asks me what I'm doing later! - All right. - Yeah, right? Yeah, so we talk for a little while. And, uh, she was like, really flirtatious too, man. - OK. - You know. Yeah. And finished my beer, and, oh, man, you know, I had to get up early for work the next morning and all that, so... - You split? - Yeah. Yeah. But it was... it was cool, though. Uh, I mean, I knew exactly what she wanted, right. And I got her number, too. She gave me her number.
Paterson
Now, darling... you have two important things to talk about before you and Marvin go out for your walk. Oh, OK. Two important things. One's about you and one is about me. OK. One is about your writing, and you know what it is. Oh. Please. Please make some copies. You know that I know that your poetry is really, really good. And that some day, you might just decide to let the world get to read it. - Laura, I really don't... - No. Look me in the eye for a second. Look me in the eye.
Paterson
All your poems are still in that one notebook. Your secret notebook. My secret notebook, yeah. So will you finally just go to the Xerox place or something? Please. Just do it. It would take about ten minutes to make a copy of your entire secret notebook. Well, I think it'd take a little longer than ten minutes. OK. OK. 15 or 20 minutes. I would even do it for you. Baby, I've been asking for a year, at least. Yeah, you have.
Paterson
What was the... What was the thing about you? Well, it's not as important as that, but... I've been thinkin' about music lately, and, and then I saw this guitar on YouTube that Esteban demonstrates. And it's in black and white. It's called the Harlequin. And it's so fantastic that I think I really need to learn to play the guitar. And it comes with... comes with lessons and DVDs and instructions, so in no time at all, I could be playing away and realising my dream. I-I... Which dream is this? Don't be silly. To be a country singer. Maybe even a big star, like one of the greats like Tammy Wynette or... or Patsy Cline. And I can wear black and white and have my own distinctive style. I have a very strong visual style, as you know. Yes, you... Yes, you do. Yes, you do.
Paterson
Well, y-you really need this guitar? Oh, yes. And they say it's so important to learn new things as you get older. And, well, music, you just don't know where it could lead. And it's only a few hundred dollars. I know it's expensive, but we can pay a little each month and free two-day shipping.
