The whole world's your toilet.

Want a sip?

Yeah.

You sure?

Sure.

You like it?

It's not that bad.

Huh?

Dad let me have

a sip of his beer.

Great.

You just gonna rat me out

like that?

Hey. Just hit the target once,

and then we can go, all right?

Okay.

All right. Caleb,

show him how it's done.

Okay, so basically,

you wanna widen your stance,

and just mash it into,

like, the squishy part

of your shoulder.

Hey.

And you just line it--

hey.

Shh.

Hey. Look.

Shh.

Caleb, don't--

nice shot!

Nice!

Look at that.

What, was I supposed

to just let him suffer?

What did you think

was gonna happen?

I didn't think I'd hit it.

Jesus, you boys are soft.

Fine, let's just--

let's just go. Let's go.

You okay?

You've been drinking.

So?

You drive.

He doesn't have a license.

He's gotta learn sometime.

All right.

So Ted never taught you?

Like Ted would ever

let him drive the car.

You just go slow

and keep it steady.

You got this.

Okay. And this...

Release the hand brake.

Okay.

Slowly pull out.

Whoa.

There you go.

Okay.

Now you're driving.

Okay.

You're doing good.

If you need

to step on the brake,

just press slowly on the brake.

Don't step on it

'cause it's ice.

It'll just skid.

Okay.

You're doing good.

Thanks.

You all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Sure you don't want me

to take over?

No, I'm good. I'm fine.

He drives like a grandmother.

Let me try.

You couldn't see

over the steering wheel.

Hey, cut it out!

Stop it.

Hey, cut it out.

Just quit it!

Quit playin' around!

Holy sh*t!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Sorry, I didn't-- I just--

i don't know...

Oh, f--

f***!

F***ing told you

not to play around!

Sh*t.

Dad?

All right.

All right, turn the ignition on.

Put it in reverse.

Okay. Give it some gas!

Give it some gas. More!

A little more!

It's fine.

It's fine.

Are we stuck out here?

What's the knife for?

Now, you come with me, Caleb.

Oh, sh*t!

Okay. Awesome. Oh.

Okay.

Oh, f***. Come on!

Really jam it in there.

There you go.

Like that?

Okay. Back up. All right,

Brad, give it some gas.

We clear?

Okay, okay.

It's not great,

but it'll help

keep the cold out.

We can turn the car

on now and then, but we can't

keep it running all night.

How come you left mom?

Caleb.

Mm, mm...

What'd she say?

That you left because

we were more mature than you.

Yeah, well... I mean...

She's not wrong.

You know, back then, i--

i didn't want to have kids.

I mean, I hadn't really

thought about it, you know?

I wasn't more than

a couple years older

than you guys.

And then, you know,

mom got pregnant,

and she didn't want to,

you know--

she wanted to keep it.

But now, it's so different.
