You wanna hear me? I'm gonna pour some-
Yeah.

This is like an AA, guys.
Like it's a fucking AA meeting?
I need a cigar or a cigarette.
Hey, I'm Joe.
Um, do we have cigars here? Don't, don't I have cigars here? I do, right?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Where the fuck are they?

Do you think?
Okay.
Um, one of the things that I realized is that if you work out like I'm working out, like fucking three hours a day-
Yeah.
... 'cause I'm trying, literally trying to kill Bert. I want Bert to try to keep up with me.
You want him to die, though.
Well, I'm trying to kill him.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm trying to give him a heart attack. 'Cause you know what bothers me?
(coughs) .
What... This, this is all weed and there's mushrooms in here, and there's no cigars.
No cigars. (laughs)
Um, maybe in the other one.
All good shit.
No, man. They may not.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
I might've taken them out of here.
I don't know.
The humidor.
Yeah.
We're gonna get a huge humidor for you.
A humidor.
A humidor.

Yeah.
He likes to pretend-
That he's in shape?
... that his effort... Yes.
Yes.
That his effort is spectacular.
Yeah, no.
He likes to pretend that he can push himself.
No.
That he's got this incredible will. He's in last place, of course.
Yeah, dead last.
By quite a bit.
