I'm not supposed to talk to.

# Exhaustible but inefficient #

# Following our intuition #

# To get back home #

# To get back home again. #

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Robert Axle Air Cutter...

part clippers, part vacuum,

salon-caliber haircuts

in the privacy of your own home

without the hairy mess

or the heavy prices.

Whoa, check out the new Axle.

Well, do you like it?

I was hoping it's all right. It's...

Yeah, you look

distinguished,

like a college professor.

You know, what would go good

with that midlife crisis

is an earring

or maybe a Mazda Miata.

You know what would go great

with that winning personality of yours?

A therapist.

- Claire, where are you going?

- My mom's.

Wait up.

I'll walk out with you.

Don't we have our own

washer and dryer?

We have a washer and dryer. She doesn't

want to be around you, douchebag.

You realize you're playing

a plastic guitar?

- Guitar or drums?

- What?

You rag on my Rock Band, I'm gonna

kick your ass. Guitar or drums?

I didn't rag on your Rock Band.

I was making an obser...

Guitar or drums?

Guitar?

I want to play guitar.

You can play the drums.

It makes no sense to me that you would

invite him to your fundraiser.

I cannot not invite him.

He lives with us.

That's just rude.

Well, you live with the fish

and you didn't invite the fish.

I did not come here

to talk about Robert Axle.

Well, that's too bad, because

Robert Axle is gonna be the only thing

that people are talking about

if you invite him to the gala.

And no one is gonna be writing

a check for you

if they know you're affiliated

with that.

I get it.

Oh, I forgot. I have clothes.

I have clothes to donate

to the women's center.

Ma, it's really okay.

Do you remember that single mother

that you introduced me to?

I know she's got that job interview,

so what about this for her?

Doesn't it just say,

"Hire me," "Power" and...?

- Oh, and you could pair it...

- Mom. Mom.

...with this fantastic leopard.

Just look.

- Mom.

- Just look. Watch.

If we don't raise

the money we need to raise,

can I count on you for a loan?

I swear to God, I'll pay you back.

I mean, you have offered

a thousand times.

And you know what?

I'm really proud of myself

that I'm not afraid to ask you for help.

It's a big step for me.

- It's gone.

- What's gone?

The money's gone.

I'm filing for bankruptcy.

You spent $362 million?

Well, you know,

there were funds.

There were mutual things.

And you know what?

There's a lot of causes

that I feel very strongly about,

like that elephant rescue.

What about your album?

It went gold. You sold 500,000 copies.

I bought 498,000 copies myself.

You're kidding me.

I wanted a gold record, okay?
