So they're standing at the pearly gates,

"This is your last chance to confess
before you enter the gates of Heaven,
and your conscience must be cleansed before you enter."
So the first nun thinks about it, and she says,
"Well...
I used to sneak peeks at Father Riley in the shower."
-Mm-hmm. -St. Peter says,
"Well, you're a naughty one, sister.
Wash your eyes in this bowl of holy water
and say five Hail Marys."
She does. Sends her off to Heaven.
So he looks at the second nun, asks her the same thing.
She says, "Well, on occasion,
I would stroke Father Riley's member with my hand."
St. Peter just shakes his head,
tells her to wash her hand in the bowl of holy water,
say ten Hail Marys.
So, she does, lets her into Heaven.
Now the third nun steps up,
but the fourth nun grabs her, throws her to the ground
and steps up to the bowl of holy water.
St. Peter says, "What on earth are you doing, Sister?"
And the nun says, "I'm gonna wash my mouth out in this bowl
before that bitch puts her ass in it." [chuckles]
I stand corrected, Russell.
I can still be offended.
That was very poorly chosen.

Mmm.
Fuck you and your bad roots.
Now she's back.
I don't understand it.
It's the crunch with the cold
and the mushy of the ice cream.
Right.
The explanation doesn't sell it, Paige.
Well...
You got her?
I got her, but I cannot stay the night.
[Stacy] I can stay the night.
[shaky breaths, sniffles]
[sniffles]
Mmm.
-This is my favorite thing ever. -I know.
[sighs]
She okay?
Yeah, she will be.
Mm.
Is there a decent bar near here?
Um, there's a...
there's a dive bar around the corner.
Well, SoHo's version of a dive bar.
Hmm.
[indistinct chatter]
Hmm. What's this place called?
Um, I don't know.
I'm-I'm not sure it has a name.
[mutters]
[Stacy] Hmm.
Hi.
What's the name of this place?
Name? Uh, people just call it the bar.
Or the bar down the street. Something like that.
-No name? -Not that I'm aware of, no.
What does your paycheck say?
Uh, XT Enterprises LLC
or some shit.
[short chuckle]
Okay, so...
Bar just doesn't have a name.
No name. What can I get you?
Oh, God. I'm, uh...
I am not in the mood to make any decisions.
Mm-hmm. Martini?
Oh, that is a cocktail,
and this is the furthest place from a cocktail bar, so...
True that. Uh, how about a Irish car bomb?
I have no idea what that is.
-Trust me. -[Stacy] Okay.
What about you?
What kind of amber ales do you have?
That'll be two Irish car bombs.
Hey, I like your style. Two Irish car bombs.
I have to work in the morning.
It's one drink, Russell.
Ooh, I didn't see that coming.
-Um... -Oh, gosh. Apologies, Russell.
This is gonna hurt.
Uh, y--
Great. [clears throat]
-You got to... Yeah. -[Stacy] Yeah.
-[Stacy laughing] -It went down the wrong pipe.
-[coughs] -[laughs]
I have a bad gag reflex.
-[coughs] -No, no. I'm not...
I'm-I'm not laughing at that.
What, then?
Oh, life.
And the choices people make.
Don't get me wrong.
She made a good one with you.
What are your dreams?
-Dreams? -Or...
you know, "aspirations" might be a better word.
For your life.
For my daughter.
I mean, what-- Uh, you know,
we-we just got the town house, so we--
Yeah, well, that's a purchase, not a dream.
-[weak chuckle] -Have you two
-talked about starting a family? -Uh,
you know Paige.
She just got down to a size zero,
and she worked really hard for it, so--
Okay, Russell, Russell, independent thoughts.
Do you have any?
Yeah, I mean, I guess I want-I want to have kids.
-Mm-hmm. Okay. -And I want to raise them,
and I want to...
I want to move out of town,
you know, where they can have a normal--
You know, tr-- you know, trick-or-treat
and-and play baseball
and run out on the street, you know?
Mm. No, I don't know.
No, I don't know. I raised mine here.
Right.
Well, that would be my dream. [clears throat]
What about when they're grown?
-What's the dream then? -[laughs]
I don't know. I don't know.
I-I haven't gotten that far.
Yeah, well, then you need a new dream.
Honestly, I always thought of you and Preston as the dream.
So did I, Russell.

But that dream is over.
Then I guess we both need a new one.
[chuckles softly]
Yeah.
