in love. "

Then she came over and made Todd say,

"My dad's a f*ggot. "

I wouldn't say it,

so she tried to move my jaw

and that's when she burnt me

with her cigarette.

By mistake.

- My mailman's gay.

- My dad's not gay.

That was just a phase.

He lives with some woman in Houston now.

I'm not allowed to see him.

I don't know if my dad's

in New York or DC.

- He's always with some new slut...

- I gotta pee.

Sh*t.

F***er Frank.

Runners, come on, let's go.

Knees up!

Hello?

Who's this?

Let me talk to Wendy.

Tell me who this is.

Hello?

Is this 520-887-4311?

Who is this?

Put Goat Man on.

Tell me who this is.

My mom has a new a**hole boyfriend.

She'll have a meltdown

if I go to Frank's.

So you'll stay here and eat

depressing meals with the teachers

and their grubby families?

Come to DC.

That one question where

you're supposed to find out

how many grandchildren

does Mrs. Smith have,

I kept getting negative six.

Yeah, Mrs. Smith and her grandchildren

can suck my dick.

Some dick got a 96

and messed up the curve.

Ellis and I studied our asses off all night,

and I only got a 73.

What'd you get, Ellis?

- Ninety-six.

- Douche.

Hey, here's my girl.

I see her here every Tuesday

and Thursday at this time.

Yeah, after she's done servicing

the juniors and seniors.

- You're an a**hole, Barney.

- Shut the hell up.

Hi, Ellis.

Hey.

Ellis, how does

she know your name?

This is the doll.

She's brand new today, ladies.

We've done a version of Sasha before.

But this is a new configuration.

So it's the only day that...

Hello? Who is this?

Tell Wendy that I'm spending

Thanksgiving with F***er Frank

and his girlfriend in Washington.

If she doesn't want me to,

she knows how to contact me.

And remind her that the Volvo

is supposed to be serviced this month.

So, this is Ellis?

Just tell her.

Oh, boy!

Mmm-hmm.

Ellis! Your mom just called.

She wants you to go to Tucson

for Thanksgiving, and not to go to DC.

So she calls now?

She sounded really stoned!

Come on. Let's go.

Oh, sh*t!

Could you come over here

and clean this, Javier?

I'll switch chairs.

Excuse me?

You just got to pick up the shards

and spray the juice with the hose

before it gets sticky.

- You broke the glass, not me.

- Yes?

Get up off your ass and clean it.

I'm busy with this bush.

Well, it's your job, not mine.

Hey, buddy, f*** you.

What did you say to me?

You're free-balling, man.

What?

One of your nuts wants out.

There you go.

I think that you and me and Wendy

need to have a talk

about your place around here.

You mean the pool house?

- Oh! Who's awake!

- Me! Me! Yeah, I needed to sleep!

Yeah.

I've been so worried.
