“I never been fired before. You know that? I mean, once when I was 17...”

Brody

I never been fired before. You know that? I mean, once when I was 17, when I was a kid, yeah, but... never from a real job. Nobody ever told me I couldn't hack it.

Ellen

They're not saying that.

Brody

Yes, they are. They are. Maybe they're right. I'm tired. Tired. I'm too damn tired.

Ellen

Too damn drunk. That's what you are, too damn drunk.
