Step Brothers Page #2

Synopsis: Brennan Huff and Dale Doback are both about 40 when Brennan's mom and Dale's dad marry. The sons still live with the parents so they must now share a room. Initial antipathy threatens the household's peace and the parents' relationship. Dad lays down the law: both slackers have a week to find a job. Out of the job search and their love of music comes a pact that leads to friendship but more domestic disarray compounded by the boys' sleepwalking. Hovering nearby are Brennan's successful brother and his lonely wife: the brother wants to help sell his step-father's house, the wife wants Dale's attention, and the newlyweds want to retire and sail the seven seas. Can harmony come from the discord?

It's ketchup and mayonnaise.

- I don't like it. It smells weird.

- Okay.

- I'll try some.

- You want some?

- Sure. Absolutely.

- Okay.

You don't mind, do you, Brennan?

No. Okay.

- Brennan...

- I'm not comfortable...

It's okay. It's probably

not good on fish anyway.

My dad's king of the castle, so if he

wants fancy sauce, he should...

- No, it's all right, Dale.

- He can make his own batch.

So you know what?

Today, when you were driving around,

Dale was telling me that he's really...

...into kung fu, and I was telling him

that you're really into kung fu as well.

I have a green belt.

Read it and weep.

I don't believe in belts.

There should be no

ranking system for toughness.

But one time I wrestled a giraffe

to the ground with my bare hands.

That's not true, Dale.

Don't be ridiculous.

So, Dale, what have you been

working on recently?

Well...

...I manage a baseball team.

- Little League?

- Fantasy league.

Take a picture. It'll last longer.

Why don't you stop

being so confrontational, Dale?

I'm not the one staring at me.

So, Brennan, how about you?

I know you used to

work at PetSmart.

- That's right, Mr. Doback.

- Call me Robert.

- That's right, Robin.

- Robert.

Robin.

Actually, Brennan

is a really talented person.

He's a very gifted singer.

- I'm really, really good.

- How good?

I've been called

the songbird of my generation...

...by people who've heard me.

That good.

The only trick is

is that Brennan's very...

...particular about

who he sings in front of, so...

I'm his mom, for example,

I've only heard him sing twice.

That's funny that you say that,

because I can sing too.

In fact, I'll sing right now.

If you wanna get down

On these hairy balls

- Hey!

- Why don't you jump right in?

It's a crotch party right up in here

- Stop it!

- Why don't you lick on this big joint?

Stop it, Dale! Stop it! Stop it!

That's cute.

I remember when I had my first beer.

That's so funny,

the last time I heard that...

...I laughed so hard

I fell off my dinosaur.

Stop right now. All right?

Let's just back off.

All right. Brennan, it's okay.

It's okay.

Hey, hey.

- Great, Dale.

- He said a mean thing first.

All right, just...

Look, you know what...? Hey, guys.

Okay, sleeping arrangements.

It's gonna be different...

...but because Dale refuses

to give up his office drum set...

...that means that, Brennan, you and

Dale are gonna have to share a room.

- But it's just temporary.

- Mom, we didn't talk about this.

Well, it's gonna be

an exciting adventure.

You wanna show him the room, Dale?

Show him where he can put his stuff?

- That's nice, thank you.

- Good night, Nancy.
