Good night?

What time is it?

7:
45.

Time for books and bed.

- Oh!

- What?

Sh*t, that means I've been

sleeping for, like, nine hours.

91/2.

Shucks, that's a long nap.

Shucks!

You can't be mad at people

for napping.

Dude, we get mad at anybody

who gets any sleep.

Okay, Mr. Monster Man,

let's bring it in.

- Family hug.

- Bring it in.

- Family hug. Come on.

- No!

Oh!

I'm hungry, I'm gonna have to

eat some of... grr.

No, you can't eat him!

All right.

- Mwah.

- I'll start dinner.

- Hi.

- Good night.

- Okay.

- Good night!

Night, Teddy.

What is that?

- This guy.

- Is that that...

Is that that song

from The Shining?

Yeah, this guy wants to kill me.

I love that song.

Jeez, You guys are eating

like rescue dogs.

I know, we got to slow down.

You talk to him yet?

No.

What?

I need to stay here

for a few months.

Yeah, sure.

Mm!

What?

My sister moved back in

with my parents

after she had

that nervous breakdown,

dropped out of school.

Same thing.

Yeah, it's the same thing

as that.

I haven't had a chance

to talk to him yet.

I can help out around the house,

buy groceries, build stuff,

rip sh*t out of walls as needed.

You want to watch Teddy?

Yeah, sure.

I'll watch cartoons with him

while you guys have

a night on the town.

I could do that, like,

every other week.

He can watch Teddy.

You mean like "watch him"

watch him?

- No.

- Come on, dude.

That day care sucks.

It's not clean.

The kids are always

licking the toys, and...

One got whooping cough

last week.

Yeah, It's f***ing dark ages

there.

Plus, he'll help us out

money-wise.

We're not broke.

Well...

What?

Hi.

What the f***'s going on?

I...

Nothing, it's...

Well,

I guess...

The idea on the table

is that you...

stay for a few months,

and you look after Teddy.

Guys, I'm talking about,

like, buying groceries,

maybe build a few things.

I need you to make me

feel better.

Come on, you f***.

He's cute.

You need to get a flu shot.

We'll take care of it, dock it

out of your pay, or whatever.

Oh, we're paying him now?

We can't not.

Can't not.

How much we talking about?

A day?

A week, maybe.

You should take it, bro.

Fine.

Awesome!

I'm gonna get the Breyers.

You seriously gonna do this?

You know I have a DUI, right?

You don't trust me

with your kid?

Absolutely.

Dude!

The old room.

I'm gonna need, like, four guys

to get rid of that thing.

- It's all right.

- Look,

left your dope-ass

Bar Mitzvah thing up.

Guess I had a lot of interests.

Still badass.

Are you okay?

Do you want to talk?

No, I'm good.

Open or closed?

Closed.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey, so you're cool, right,

with the whole thing?
