Can you hear that?

Can you feel it?

Don't you want me

to lick your balls first?

Mmm. Mmm. You taste so good.

Ooh, your cock

is getting so big in my mouth.

So big.

Oh, yeah, baby,

I'm just gonna lick it-

Life's good, life's bad

- You don't like the music? You wanna go?

- We've got an early flight to catch.

- Oh, then let's go. Come on.

- And the uncertainty that keeps us goin'

You know what I mean

Yesterday you owned the world

And the next day

the world owns you

- One day everything's a lie

- You wanna drive?

And the next day

you'd swear it's all true

When you're a prisoner

- And I'm a prisoner

- [Applause, Whistling]

Yeah, I'm a prisoner of life

- [TV:
Commentator] The medfly

is already established in Los Angeles.

- Mom?

- Baby?

- Mom?

Sh*t.

Honey, what's the matter?

Did you have a bad dream?

Come on, sweetie.

Let's watch Daddy on TV.

[Grunts]

- We'll all snuggle.

- What happened?

- The helicopters scare you?

- I thought it was an earthquake.

- This is Howard Finnigan...

- [Woman] He was just frightened.

With thoughts to make you think.

Go ahead, shut it down.

I gotta go make a phone call.

It's my wife's birthday.

Okay, guys, gather 'round.

Get in line. Specimen time.

That time of the month, guys.

Fill it up.

- Yvonne!

- Hey, sweetheart.

- Cheers!

- You need some help?

- There you go.

- We just spray the stuff. We don't drink it.

You need a magnifying glass

and a tweezers to help you out?

[Yvonne]

Hey, sweetheart. Okay, you two.

Y'all haven't been taking anything,

I hope.

Don't let anything run on the sides, okay?
