   The narrator meets Tyler Durden on the beach as he is falling asleep. Tyler is building a wooden structure that causes a large shadow of a hand to be cast on the beach. Tyler is sitting next to the narrator as he returns from a business trip. They realize they have the same briefcase.
   After his apartment blows up the narrator calls Tyler from the lobby. He first calls Marla but hangs up after she answers without talking to her. He then calls Tyler who doesn't answer, but uses *69 to call him back. He calls from a phone booth.
   The narrator goes to a bar with Tyler and asks if he can stay with him. He beats around the bush and Tyler tells him to just ask if he can stay with him.
   When Tyler asks the narrator to hit him the first time he hits him in the neck. He hits him in the ear.
   This doesn't happen. The Narrator and Tyler hit golf balls in the front yard of the Paper St house.
