Can you handle things tonight alone?

“Hi, it's Joel. Um, leave a message after the beep and I'll get back to you.”
Patrick: Pick up.! Pick up, man.!
Stan: W-W-W-W-Whoa Hold on! Hold on!.
Hello? Yeah, what's up?
Patrick: I got into a little situation with the old lady.
Can you handle things tonight alone? I'm really sorry, man.
Stan: Don't worry about it.
I got it under control, man.
He's pretty much on autopilot right now anyway.
Patrick: Thanks, Stan. I own you big-time.
Stan: Dude, I gotta go. I gotta go.
