make him happy."

"Somehow, ease his pain."

"Cock-suck

away his sadness."

Do you know that this song,

Pixies did this song,

it's about a Salvador Dali short

film called Un Chien Andalusia.

This music doesn't

make people happy.

This song kicks off Doolittle, one of

the best albums of the last 30 years.

Look how angry you get

while listening to it.

An important record.

It's my birthday. You don't

control the radio on my birthday.

I do.

I control the radio

on my birthday.

Sadie's watching Lost.

Sadie, how many times have

you watched Lost this week?

I only watched 11. But I have eight

more, and then I'm done, so...

How many are there?

Are you kidding me?

You can't watch over 100 episodes

of a show in five weeks.

It'll melt your brain.

It's not melting my brain,

it's blowing my mind.

That's really bad, Sadie.

You're not allowed to do that.

My relationship with Lost

is not your business.

It's extremely personal.

Stop!

Stop it.

Be nice to your sister.

You guys are going to

cherish each other one day.

Stop it! Stop!

It's your birthday. You

don't need to go to the store.

No, just five minutes.

Desi and Jodi are fighting.

All right, five minutes,

but then I'm pulling you out.

Hi.

Hi.

How's Jodi treating you?

Jodi?

Oh, Jodi's my new BFF.

She's like a little kitty-cat.

Sometimes she comes

and rubs up against my leg.

And you're a ball of sh*t.

She loves me.

Huh.

Can you do inventory so that

we can do the sidewalk sale?

And you really need to pay

attention to the numbers

because we have

$12,000 unaccounted for.

I think it's probably Desi.

She's been having a really hard

time using these simple computers.

It's because she's stupid.

I think she might be stealing.

She's not stealing.

She's our best employee. She

made nine grand last month.

How much did I make?

You brought in $2,200.

That's not bad.

Well, it's not that good.

I mean, I'm not comparing you,

but you're not as good.

All right. See you.

I don't think she's

wearing underwear.

What?

It's all dark up there.

Why are you looking?

I didn't mean to look.

I just said, "Hey, whoa."

And there it was.

Maybe she's wearing

dark underwear.

Yeah, maybe she has underwear that has

a picture of a vagina painted on it.

Stop looking.

Some deep oranges and browns,

and maybe some dark greens.

That would really

play up your features.

I'll just take out my AmEx and you

pick what stuff you think's good.

Whoo!

Good job!

Whoo!

Where's Daddy?

I think he went to poop.

Pete!

Q-A-T.

Suck on that, b*tch.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Going to the bathroom.

We're all downstairs,

waiting for you.

You've been up here

for a really long time now.
