Yeah, it's probably more comfortable

for you to be in your own room.

But, you know, I can bring the whole

mail opening system into your bedroom.

- Would you stop?

- Stop what?

Stop trying to be Joe Dad.

I'm sorry. You're right.

I'm done. I'm done.

I'm sorry.

What was that?

It's the carbon monoxide detector

I installed.

What was that?

Our new carbon monoxide detector.

Carbon monoxide?

Nobody smokes in this house.

- Donna.

- Yeah?

- Donna.

- Yeah, come in.

Well, it's official.

Everyone in this house hates me.

No, I don't hate you.

Actually I've been looking

at your case

and you gotta help me

understand something.

You were charged for depraved

indifference to human life,

which requires recklessness.

Wasn't it the victims

who were reckless, not you?

I mean, they are the ones

who stuck their fingers in this...

Whoa whoa whoa,

where did you get that?

Dad had one in the attic.

What the hell, Axle?

Argh!

Face or nuts?

- What?

- You violated my fish,

so I get a free shot.

Where do you want it? Face or nuts?

I didn't violate your fish.

I reconfigured the fish tank.

- Then I hung up the paint...

- Face or nuts?

Face.

Oh!

Excuse me, can you point me

to the bathroom?

You look like a smart guy.

Were you aware that these

Steve Leslie discoveries

were in fact discovered

by someone else?

And they're not discoveries at all.

They're fabrications.

So there's very little

discovering going on.

Dude, I just want to know

where the bathroom is.

It's in the back left corner

of the store, behind Housewares.

What are you doing?

I'm just trying to think of ways

that we can add value

and make the customer

more informed.

We? There's no we.

There's us... Family Mart,

and you... felon who should not

be talking to customers.

Oh my God.

Whoa.

You're...

I'm fried?

You're fired!

Axle.

You know me?

It's on your shirt.

Want to play some handball?

I'm a little busy right now.

You don't look so busy to me.

Where's your mother?

- Go talk to her.

- Please, I'm so bored.

You look like a nice kid, but I'm right

in the middle of something.

I'm sure handball would be

a lot of fun, but...

Okay.

Argh!

Oh.

- You're too fancy with your feet.

- All right, all right.

Oh, interference.

- Are you accusing me of being a cheat?

- Just serve.

# You and I look good together... #

Oh, whoa whoa whoa.

What is that?

- A kickie.

- Since when are kickies allowed?

- George.

- Gotta go. Bye.

# Let's get inside

out of this weather #

# And there is no one

loves you better #

# Than me, my dear... #

My mom says

you need a haircut.

What's the matter with my hair?

You look somebody
