...but thankfully, we cut to sometime later, where in the dude's office, Patrick tells him he needs a half a million from him. Once the guy ascertains that he's not joking, he figures out that Patrick is working for Brennan and can't believe he's stooped so low, and then takes a bat off the wall and tells Patrick to get his "broken-down ass" out of his house. Patrick is unimpressed by this jerk, as well he might be, but he's not there for violence, it seems, as he starts to head out quietly enough, although not without mentioning that Brennan may not take this so lightly...

...and then he's in a bar having a drink, where the TV just so happens to be playing the interview again, and considering it's already been aired once that we saw the coincidence is yet another bridge too far for me, but at least we get to hear some more of it this time, as Patrick asserts that while Reynolds was a warrior in the ring, "he knows who won," and then goes on to say that despite his happiness with his life now, he sometimes misses hitting people. Well, you did just have a golden opportunity. Some jerk then tells the bartender "Enough of this asshole!" and the bartender flinches and apologizes to Patrick, who tells him it's okay and starts to settle up, but the d-bag, who apparently still hasn't seen Patrick, goes on to fist-bump one of his friends that Patrick's wife is "a choice piece of ass," like, shitty writing rears its ugly head again, as this is two opponents in a row the show has painted with a degree of nuance generally reserved for cartoon characters and silent-film villains.

Anyway, when Patrick rounds the bar, the fist-bumpee at least looks abashed, but when Patrick magnanimously says not to worry about it, the d-bag belligerently asks why he would worry about it, and seriously, I have met a lot of assholes in my life, but none so stupid that they would not be scared of a beatdown from a FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Jesus. Patrick still almost gets out the door, but the guy is all, "Told you he was half a fag," like, I don't even know what that means and also I'm so sure you happened to be talking about him at some earlier point, but the guy truly is begging for it. Patrick, however, merely wishes him good night...

...but then, in the car, he takes a cigarette from behind the sun visor and lights up...
