[buzzing]

- That's the last of the load?

- Yup.

Alright. We're good!

- Ho-ho.

- Hey, Joe, I'm on a break.

Break, huh?

Yeah. You ever heard

of one of those?

No.

Storm's coming.

Take the load in the morning.

Stay in town tonight.

No. I'll be all right.

I gotta be back by tomorrow

and take care of some sh*t.

Okay.

- You got chains?

- Yeah, I got chains.

If you get caught, you make sure

you chain up for S-curves.

What is this, orientation?

I got it.

Besides, if it gets

a little gnarly on the pass,

I'll just bunk at your cabin.

You leave now, you'll make it.

You stay the f*** away

from my cabin.

Drive safe, partner.

Always do, man.

Hey!

Dad! How'd you know

I was up here?

'Cause the birds told me,

that's why.

They started chirping 'cause

I was too close to their nest.

Mwah.

They tell you

that was coming, huh?

- Full moon.

- No, no, no, no, don't!

[yelps]

Stop!

- Did you miss me, babe?

- Yeah.

It's been like

three whole days.

It was five days, honey.

Charlotte get her.

Save Mom!

Stop!

[laughing]

Get off of me.

No, don't you dare!

You better give me kisses.

Give me a kiss.

Soup's on the stove.

Come here. Give me a kiss.

Mwah.

See you tonight.

[laughs]

Okay.

I'll see you tonight.

If you're even up

by the time I get home,

- I'll consider that foreplay.

- Uh-oh, what is that?

I don't know

what she's talking about.

Where's your grandpa?

Oh, putting up Christmas lights.

Back there.

Oh, yeah, Christmas lights.

That was a real adventure.

He's in the garage.

Good luck with that.

All right.

You go make me some soup.

Charlotte, you want

a little brother?

Mrs. Braven, see you tonight.

Yeah.

[screams]

Ha ha ha!

When I get home, Joe Braven,

when I get home...

I love you.

Hey, Pops.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I came out here

to find something.

Christmas lights.

Right here, Dad.

Oh. I thought they'd...

Well, they should be up here.

Put things

in their proper place.

You always put things

where they're supposed to be.

I'm working on it. Cheers.

[bottles clink]

What is this?

It's a porter.

Tastes like a sh*t milk shake.

[scoffs]

Dinner's ready. Let's go.

Daddy?

JOE:
Yeah.

You were asleep again.

- No.

- Uh-huh.

- Uh-huh?

- Yeah.

You calling me a liar?

- Stop!

- Huh?

[laughing]

You always fall asleep.

That's 'cause

it's time for bed.

[Charlotte screams]

There's Piggy.

But you didn't even

finish the story.

- Really?

- Yes, really.

All right, where were we?

"The forest animals

play hide and seek.

Bethany Bear hides in her cave.

She falls asleep,

and her friends can't find her.

Winter turns to spring.

And she's crowned the best

hide and seek champion

in the whole forest."

The end.

Boop.

- [growls playfully]

- [Charlotte laughs]

[blows raspberry]

[laughing continues]

CHARLOTTE:
Stop!

Good night, pig.

Don't do that again.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

Oh, I finished

Grandpa's bracelet.

Can I give it to him?

He's probably asleep, honey,

just like you should be.

We'll give it to him tomorrow.

Turn the light out.

[Charlotte laughing]

I love you.

Pops?

[horn honking]

[jukebox]

Oh, Jesus, not again.

Hey, Pops.

[phone rings]

[ring]

[ring]

Hello?

Joe, hey, it's Mike

from the Trinity Bar.

Yeah, listen,

you better get over here.

Yeah, your dad's here again.

WOMAN:
Excuse me?

Time for us to go home.

MAN:
Let go.

- Come on, baby.

- I don't...

Hey!

- Joe!

- I got it.

I'm on my way.

MAN:
Linden, no!

[slams phone]

Hey, what's going on?

Dad's at the Trinity again.

- I'll be back.

- Okay.
