However, the second Cueball character has (most likely intentionally in response to the unnecessary swearing) takes "fucking" to be an identifier of which jacket is being discussed (his fucking jacket as opposed to his winter jacket, or in this case his regular jacket). He gives a smart-aleck response that the "fucking jacket" is next to his "regular jacket". Having confused his counterpart who does not understand Cueballs sarcastic response, second Cueball dismisses the topic.
The title text suggests that this event transpired frequently in Randall's (real life) apartment.
