over at Providence Court?

What happened?

Got hit by a baseball.

Ew.

Gene wasn't expected

to survive the crash,

though it was

debatable that he had.

He could breathe,

and swallow.

He didn't even

have a sexy nurse.

And if that

wasn't bad enough,

Larry would

sneak in, drunk.

Alcohol helped fuel

Larry's hope that a

miracle might occur.

Being with Doug

helped Billy remember

a life before the accident.

Gene and Doug had

been great together,

whether they were

playing baseball

or turning The Three

Stooges into five.

And with the memories

came hope that life

could be fun again.

Doug. Doug.

You were snoring.

Im sorry.

You miss Gene?

You should try and

get some sleep.

Were you there the time

he built the toilet paper

wall across Miami Court?

Yeah.

My ass got kicked

around the living

room because of it.

Now I call it

the barely living room.

Man, that was intense.

You're not serious.

My father, he tore

through it in his car

'cause he thought

it was toilet paper.

But it wasn't.

Gene strung wire

across too and ripped

the windshield wipers off.

Have you been

to see him lately?

It's only family allowed.

Really? That sucks.

Well, you're not

gonna take that lying

down, are you?

Hurry up!

Older brother

Restless soul

Lie down

Quick.

Lie for a while with your

Ear against the earth

The buzzer.

And you'll hear

Your sister sleep

Talking say

Your hair is long

But not long enough

To reach

Quick, quick, quick.

Home to me

And she'll wake up

Ina cold sweat on

The floor

Next to a family

Portrait drawn when

You were four

Thank you.

How thoughtful.

Oh, yeah!

Doug!

Where are you?

Sh*t!

Whoa.

All right, Im out.

Run!

Hey, bub.

There you are.

Wasn't that fun

the other night?

It was hysterical.

Hey, hang on.

Doug's really cool.

We've been out every night.

The other night--

Gene?

God, Gene.

Hey, Gene, it's me,

Billy. Im here.

Nurse!

Don't listen to

anything he says, Gene.

It says here that

he's a little p*ssy.

Lucky you don't

have to live with him.

Good one, d*ckhead.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, we're fine.

Sorry. Sorry.

Mom's in the

hospital, Gene.

They took a lot

of her female stuff out,

like her Filipino tubes.

Everything except

her Mildred.

That's what Doug

calls her p*ssy.

Gross, huh?

She's okay, though.

She might not come

see you for a while.

She'll be a bit shaky.

Might not?

She's not coming.

She's happy finally

'cause she's got

an excuse.

You can get she'll

be milking it.

From General

Aluminum Products--

If that's the doctor,

tell him I want my

uterus back.

Hello?

Who's this?

They hung up.

Just as well. I've

got static to watch.
