I are working the same shift today.

Sure does.

What do you say we get some breakfast.

Sounds good to me.

All right.

Wait a minute.

What?

Looks like you grew about

an inch in your sleep.

Yeah?

I don't know if I should

feed you just yet.

What...

I wanna grow!

Oh, you do?

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Well, let's get a move on.

Okay.

I wish you was

my daddy.

I couldn't be

your daddy.

Yeah, I know.

And you couldn't be my kid.

Yeah, I know.

You wanna know why?

Mmm, yeah,

I think so.

Yeah.

'Cause I'd kill ya.

You would not!

Sure I would.

I'd kill you with kisses.

You can't kill nobody

with kisses.

Oh, yeah, you can, actually,

if you tickle 'em at the same time.

Nah, that wouldn't work.

Yeah.

Know what else?

What?

If you were my kid, I'd make you

eat onion and lard sandwiches.

No, you wouldn't.

Yes, I would.

And I'd make you sleep in the doghouse.

No, you wouldn't!

You're a good guy.

News or sports?

Sports.

Sports it is.

I ran into a tree,

'cause we were sledding.

Where is everything?

I cleaned it up.

Oh, God. Oh, Jesus.

Why?

You know, where...

where is my...

my stuff?

You know, people

always movin'...

Where is my stuff?

People always moving

all my stuff!

You know,

this is my house.

Can't I leave my stuff where

I want to without people,

you know, taking things,

moving things?

Where the f*** is everything?

- Do you want me to make you a drink?

- Lord Jesus Christ on the cross!

Can't I... leave my

things where I want to?

This is my house,

for God's sake.

People...

People taking things.

Taking things...

from me.

I guess not.

What?

Why are you always

looking at me sideways?

Let me tell you,

lots of sh*t you don't know.

You think you're all-knowing

about everything.

You don't know sh*t.

I ain't looking at you.

You always

looking at me.

Ain't you got

nowhere to go?

Leave me alone!

Please.

Ohh. Ohh.

I ain't

botherin' you.

No, no.

I'm just sayin'...

You're just sayin'.

I'm sayin'.

No!

Whoa.

No! F***!

Yeah.

Look.

So when you're ready...

you just tell me.

'Cause you're gonna have

to do it sooner or later.

Might as well

get it done right.

Guess we're gonna have to

figure out something soon.

One of these days.

Gotta pay to play.

'Cause you ain't gonna be...

14 forever.

Yeah, thank God

for small favors.

It wasn't always

At the same
