and support me through all of this.

- I just sat there.

- And now what,

we're gonna compete

against each other? God!

You're crazy.

You're about as crazy as your weird mom,

if you think this is ever

gonna be cool, okay?

Look, as long as there's food

and you or another adult in the house,

we're gonna get along.

- Great.

- But...

if there is no food and no adult,

your siblings are gone.

Chief Manuelito, Treaty of 1868.

Thank you.

It's true, true, false.

- Good.

- Thanks.

It's "HK" not "KH."

It's nosotros somos.

Thank you.

You don't wanna sell weed.

You broke up with me for selling.

No, I broke up with you

because you have no ambition, but...

I need a chunk of money, fast.

- Yeah, well, I don't sell anymore.

- Come on, you support yourself here?

- Hey, I do stuff.

- Really?

I'm an entrepreneur.

Oh, that's fancy.

If you're hurting so bad,

why don't you apply for food stamps

- like a normal person?

- Well, food stamps

aren't gonna get me into college.

And I already tried to apply.

Turns out my dad used to sell them outside

of the Piggly Wiggly

when I was a kid.

Now the Tanners can't get them.

Whoa.

- What?

- You got a dad?

Why are you begging me?

Hit up the old man.

I'm... I'm not gonna... no.

Killer boots, Kid Blammo.

I should get me some boots like that.

They would look good on me.

Oop, oop. Watch them nuts.

- Sweet pea?

- Hi.

- What are you...

- Dad.

Uh, hey, come inside.

- Do you want some...

- No.

Oh! And, uh, hold on.

I got something for you.

Maybe a five in there.

Maybe even be a couple.

So I mean, no child support

since Jet was born,

and... you only saved $13.

Yeah, but it's cash.

It's not about the mo...

Look, I'm the best dad

when it comes to moral support.

- What?

- I am always there when you need me,

- gone when you don't.

- Yeah, well, we can't eat moral support.

- Do you still have that truck?

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah? Could you sell it?

- What? Sell my truck?

- Why?

- Well... No.

- It won't be enough money anyway.

- How would I get to work?

- This was a dumb idea. I'm gonna go.

- How would I get...

Wait, wait! No, sweet pea, don't go!

I don't ever get to see you.

Come here! What...

Do you wanna see your old man on TV?

- No, I don't.

- Yeah, no, come look at this.

I was on TV. They made a video file

that fits on my phone.

- No.

- No, you gotta see this. Real quick.

So I was filling a slot in Salt Lake,

and they came to do an interview.

Wasn't me, but it was of this...

We're here at the Pacific

Western Rail train yard

where more than $3 million

of merchandise has...

- There I am.

- Disappeared over the last couple months.

Look who's part of the newscast.
