Jeff, Who Lives at Home Page #3

Synopsis: Jeff, at 30, lives in his mom's basement, unemployed, looking for signs about what to do with his life. He answers a wrong-number call for "Kevin". Later, on a bus, he sees someone wearing a jersey with "Kevin" on the back. Jeff follows him. Meanwhile, Jeff's brother, Pat, a tone-deaf salesman, upsets his wife by buying a Porsche they cannot afford; Pat runs into Jeff soon after and they see Pat's wife with another man. At her job, Jeff and Pat's mom receives e-mails from a secret admirer; she tries to figure out who it is. Misunderstandings, errors, and confrontations abound. A backup on the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway brings things to a head.

Yeah? You're having

a business meeting at Hooters?

Yeah. Yes.

That's very classy.

Right. Well, business is business.

So, come on. Get in the car.

Hey! You don't need to grab onto me.

I'm a little bit conflicted right now,

that's all.

About what?

You're just gonna make fun of me, man.

Let's go. Try me.

I want to learn how you think

because I want to free my mind.

Let me try to explain it to you maybe

in terms that you would understand.

- Okay.

- This morning

I was meant to have

a business meeting with the Kevins.

And destiny. And now you're here

at this weird Hooters thing...

And so now I'm just trying

to figure out how to proceed.

What you just said

sounded like Yoda took acid

and stumbled into a business meeting.

You can make all the fun of Yoda

that you want,

Yoda would be f***ing killer

in a business meeting.

Whatever, man. Come on!

Let's go. Get in the Porsche.

Sh*t!

Hey, I think your Porsche

got a ticket, Pat.

Shut up, Jeff. Just get in the car.

This Porsche is tiny.

The Porsche is normal-sized.

You're a sasquatch.

Are those workout gloves?

I don't think so.

They came with the car so...

Check this out. You see where those

cars are stopping up ahead?

Yeah.

I should probably stop

pretty soon, right?

Pat, slow down.

What? I can't hear you!

Bose surround sound!

Hey, stop it, dude. This is not funny.

- Count to three and I'll stop.

- Pat, please stop.

Count of three! One! Two!

- Pat, look out!

- Three!

Curb! Curb!

Sh*t! Yes!

Will you please stop the car?

It handles better at high speeds!

- Stop the car!

- Shut up!

Tree! Tree!

Pat?

F***!

Wow. Yeah, that's real bad.

Oh, sh*t.

What the f***?

He looks mad.

Are you on drugs?

How many beers have you had?

Shut up, Jeff. Shut up.

Did you not see that damn tree?

Whatever you do, don't say a word.

Stay in the f***ing car.

I am fine, yes. Thank you for asking.

Burt, should we call an ambulance?

Hi. There was a pedestrian child

in the street

and in order to avoid killing it,

I had to swerve

and maneuver onto your sidewalk,

at which point I lost control

of my vehicle

and I've hit your tree here.

We can see that.

Do you think we're blind?

No. Of course not.

I just would like to apologize.

Is he okay?

Yeah, he's fine. Just a little stunned.

I think that one's hurt.

Maybe we should call the police.

He's fine. He's okay.

That child's not moving.

Ma'am, he's okay.

Jeff, will you get out of the car?

Yeah. Get out of the car.

Show her that you're fine.

See? Live and limber.

- Baby, are you sure you're all right?

- Look at that.

- I am fine, thank you.

- Look at that. Good as new.

You remind me of my grandson.
