I tried to pay that,

but it didn't go through

for some reason.

Hi.

Morning.

Come on.

What'd you do to yourself?

Hey.

This? This is nothing.

Guy back in September,

he got tangled up in the bailer,

took his whole arm off.

- Cool.

- No, it's not.

The cast comes off next week.

It'll be good as new.

Oh.

Oh, hey, you trying

to break the other one?

Uh, Ted says a firm handshake

shows strong character.

Oh, so that's been my problem

all this time.

How's this?

How's this, huh?

Oh!

Hey!

Stop it.

Love what you've done with the place.

Yeah.

Feng shui and the motifs

over there and everything.

Maybe you should be a decorator.

You have some spare time now.

You know, Elliot,

if you're interested,

I could talk to my guys

down at the warehouse,

see if they could use a hand.

I'm good. Thanks, Ted.

Okay, come say good-bye.

You ever go-- you ever go

on any kind of cruise?

It's not my thing.

I don't want to be

stuck on a boat

with 2,000 rich a**holes

for a week.

And that norovirus thing

going around?

What's that?

It's killer diarrhea.

It's just a stomach bug

that we are not gonna get

'cause, you know,

we wash our hands.

All right, eat a vegetable

at some point.

Have a good one, big guy.

You too.

Yeah, see ya.

Take care.

Nice to see you.

I'll just be a second.

Hey. You sure

you're good with this?

My mom called again

this morning,

said she's more than happy

to come and help

if you need it.

Jesus.

Thanks for

the vote of confidence,

but I got this.

All right.

Love you.

Bye, mom.

Love you, too.

Hey, so how are things

with the two of you?

Yeah, we're not doing this.

I just don't get it.

I know you don't.

Have fun.

All right.

Now the party can start.

This place is a lot smaller

than your last place.

So, where are we

gonna sleep?

I figured you guys

could just take my bed,

and I'll crash on the couch.

He snores.

At least I don't wet the bed.

That was, like,

three years ago.

You're gonna figure it out.

What do you want to do today?

Anything, just not

bowling again.

He just doesn't want to go

because he sucks.

Shut up, Caleb.

I always beat him.

You have pancakes?

We just ate.

Yeah, but he's

a growing boy.

He needs to eat all the time.

Go get your stuff put away,

and I'll see if I can get you

some pancakes, all right?

Here.

Put this over there.

No, keep your crap

on your side of the room.

Idiot.

Well, don't throw things

at me then.

What?

Look at this.

Holy...

Give me that.

What?

It's loaded. Easy, easy.

Give me it!

How do you, like,

put the bullets in it?

What the f*** are you doing?

Bradley--

no, I didn't. Shut up.

You cannot play with this!

Well, you shouldn't

have left it out then.

I didn't.

It was under the bed!

I'm sorry I yelled.

You said "f***."

Caleb.

Either of you ever--

ever shot one of these before?

I was about your age

when my dad taught me.

What if I took you boys out?

Really?

Every man should know how

to safely use and respect a gun.

Mom would freak out.

No, she won't.

'Cause she'll never know.

Right?

Yeah.

Yeah, we could go up north

to our old logging site.

Get some fresh air,

make men out of you boys.

Ted sure as hell

ain't going to.

Yeah.

Is that something

you'd be into?

Yeah. Say yes.

Come on.

Huh?

Uh, yeah. Sure.

All right.

Okay, grab your coats.

Yeah! Yes!

Come on.

Come on.

There's some pop-tarts

in the glove box

if you guys are hungry.

Do you know how much sugar

is in those things?

Yep. That's what makes them

so damn delicious.

Did your hand get stuck

in the machine, too?

Nope.

It got stuck

in my boss's face.

Don't go telling your mom,

but yeah.

He thought he could

just get away

with firing everybody

and replacing us

with these damn robots.

Right.

So destroying the forest

faster than ever.

That's kinda the point.

So you're not worried

about killing the environment?

"Killing the environment"?

What, are you gonna stop

using toilet paper?

Are you going to stop breathing?

The point is, you gotta

stand up for what's right.

You can't just let people

push you around, you know?

That-that's the way

the world really works.

Hey, mom.

No, yeah, we're just, uh,

learning how the world works.

We're going for pancakes.

Yeah.

Don't worry.

Yeah, we will. Okay.

Okay, I love you, too. Bye.

Ahh.

Hey.

All right,

grab some snacks

and, uh, whatever

you want to drink.

Here.

These are for me.

Uh-huh.

And I'm gonna

fill up the truck.

Here.

Oh, no, that's cool.

Ted gave us a card

for emergencies and stuff.

Well, this is not

an emergency.

Take it.

Here.

How-- how much was it?

Sixty-something.

Sixty?

What'd you guys get?
