and there is a guy down state willing

to sell me a human skull,

but he says all I have

to do is send him a check.

Well, how would it work?

You open an account with my money

and then write the check for me.

Why would I want to do that?

I'd let you write some for yourself.

Make up for all those birthdays

and graduations I missed.

There's four grand in there.

Thanks man. Hey, make sure when

they give you those checkbooks

you don't get the kind

with kittens or seashells on them.

Okay.

I just hate those things. Really

pisses me off. They are tacky.

I said okay.

Why do you pee like that, Jimmy?

Get out of here.

Is something wrong with your

urinary tract?

What? No. Just get out of here.

Oh, Jimmy, I was wondering

if you might watch the girls

while I do some grocery shopping.

I'm sorry,

I sort of have something to do.

Well, okay. That's okay.

You always left Tim and me alone.

Can I borrow the van?

Of course, Honey.

You can just drop me off at the store.

Oh, well, I'm not really

going that way...

Never mind.

I could take you

to the end of the way.

Oh, no. I'lljust walk.

It'll be good for me.

Thanks, Mom.

You need any money?

Oh. No. Actually, I'm good.

Hey there.

Are you our date?

Mom takes me on

all her first dates.

Your mother and I already

had a first date.

When?

Last week.

The night she was out until three

in the morning?

Ready?

Why is there a bed set up back here?

Do you live in this van?

Benjamin.

No, I don't live in this van.

Wine coolers? Really?

What?

Mom's a whiskey woman.

So, where are we going?

Where would you like to go?

There's ice skating at the

Glenbrook mall.

No.

I know somewhere better.

Girls, I'd like you to meet a

friend of mine.

This is Ben.

I thought maybe you might want to

show him the trampoline out back.

You have a trampoline?

No, but our neighbors do.

Take him girls.

It's freezing outside.

Wear your coats.

You live with your parents?

Just temporarily. I'm leaving soon

as my brother recovers.

Yeah. I sort of came back

to have a nervous breakdown

but the bastard beat me to it.

What's wrong with you?

Chronic despair.

Hey, what are you kids doing?

Jumping.

Well, who told you, you could jump

on our trampoline?

Jim.

He's my uncle.

Well, tell your Uncle Jim that he

needs to ask me before...

He's not my uncle.

I hardly know him.

He's on a date

with my mother right now.

He took Mom up to his room...

Okay, okay. That's fine.

Just ask next time.

Where's Benjamin's dad?

He's around. He sees Ben every once

a month or so, if he remembers.

And he doesn't have a

problem with you dating?

Oh, no. He's incredibly jealous.

Who are all these people?
