Sure, I'll drive by. Do you want me to stop and pick you up when I'm driving by?

Of course I do. You're a real piece of work, aren't you?

piece of work

Unaware of one's foolishness. Originates from "What a Piece of Work is Man" monologue from Hamlet. More precisely an ironic reflection of how little most men achieve despite being endowed with relatively enormous powers to act and reason. Generally used as a sarcastic "compliment."
