How much longer are you keeping that beast anyway? The Langleys were having dinner at the restaurant last night, and Joe looked absolutely fine.

Those fucking Langleys are trying to use my daughter to get me to keep this fucking pig. It’s ridiculous. I’m going to stop by their house when I leave work today and return her. I’m lugging this damn pig with me to and from work every goddamn day because she loses her shit if I leave her home.

Brinkley

Go figure. She doesn’t want to stay home with the ever-exciting Bob Picklepants? I can’t imagine why.

Hugh

Do not hate on Bob. That’s my kind of dog. Last time I was over, he stuck his nose in my beer mug. He’s a cool dude. He’s just chill.

Georgia

Why don’t you just agree to keep Maxine? Gracie loves her, and I think you like her more than you let on. I saw that cute peach bandana you got her.

It’s just a bandana. I think I found it at Mom’s house.

Brinkley

That’s interesting. It has Maxine embroidered on it, Tough Guy.

Fine. Gracie saw it and begged me to get it for her. This is what I’m saying. My life is a shit show. I just spent an hour with Mr. fucking Wigglestein, trying to convince Mrs. Remington to get him fixed.

Finn

That fucker has knocked up more women in Cottonwood Cove than the Reynolds brothers have all together.

Don’t be crude. He’s impregnated multiple bitches, and she needs to get a handle on it and keep him contained, for fuck’s sake. I’ve got to go. I have one more client before I can get out of here.

Hugh

See you tonight at dinner.

Brinkley

I think it’s uncool that you have a men’s-only dinner without us.

Finn

You’re having dinner with Georgie, Reese, and Lila. What are you talking about?

Georgia

It’s the point. You could have asked and allowed us to turn you down.

We have dinner every Sunday night with all of us. It’s enough. You people are suffocating me.

Brinkley

Any chance you’ll invite Presley to Sunday dinner? Now, that would be exciting.

Finn

Presley and Maxine in the same room. Let the fireworks begin.
