Ah, yes, yeah, thank you.

Uh, basic training

is a real b*tch,

but, you know,

it really whips you into shape.

I thought you were coming

next week.

What?

Like, 1,000 sit-ups a day.

C.o.'s a real hard-ass.

Oh, really? Wow.

I take your compliment well.

Hmm?

I thought you were coming

next week.

Yeah, well, I'm early.

What's this?

What are you gonna do?

Stay here.

You want to get

the f*** out here?

- What the f***?

- F***ing...

What the f***?

Get off me.

Get the f*** off me.

Never again.

Do you understand me?

I'll f***ing kill you!

- Jimmy, stop.

- You're f***ing dead!

All right, enough, Jimmy.

Oh.

Sh*t.

So you learned all that

in the army?

To fight?

No, they teach you

how to kill there.

With your hands?

Hands, you know, guns,

knives, grenades, whatever.

So did you have to register

them as lethal weapons?

What, my hands?

I think the army

does that for you.

F***ing "a,"

that's cool, Jim.

So you had to control yourself,

like, your instincts.

That is awesome.

Oh, but about your eye...

oh, yeah, no,

I'll tell mom

I was playing dodgeball

or something.

Good man.

Does it hurt?

Oh!

I'm sorry about that.

Dick.

Oh!

You all right?

F***ing a**hole.

So lucky you got Jimmy today,

'cause if that sh*t was me...

call me Fartlett?

Yeah, that's cool.

Call me Fartlett. Whatever.

You know, whatever.

But you know

what they say.

You hit a guy like this,

boom, dead.

Wah-wah-wah.

Bah.

Molly Molloy,

born in Dubuque, Iowa.

Has a dog named Stella

and feeds it red meat only.

Adrianna Bragg,

now in the 11th grade,

Syosset high,

no dog.

Scotty, it's my birthday.

Come down

and eat already.

Happy birthday.

Oh, my god.

I'll bet I make the cover

of Architectural Digest.

And it's yours?

No, I bought it

for the rag heads up the block

that just hit the lotto.

Yes, it's mine.

It's ours.

Here, let me show you.

This is gonna be

the laundry room right here.

This is the kitchen.

I put in one of those center

islands that we talked about.

You're gonna love it.

It's beautiful.

Scott, this is gonna be

your room.

Wow, looks like

the Millennium Falcon.

Yeah, Mick, it's, uh...

it's very modern.

Yeah, it's modern.

It's ultramodern.

I used the best architect

on the island.

Really?

Is there still time to...

I don't know...

maybe, uh, take the edge off

somehow?

Take the edge off?

You're kidding, right?

No.

You meant Millennium Falcon

in a good way?

Yeah, definitely.

Check this out.

This is where the sunroom

is gonna be

with the eastern exposure.

Get that morning light

that we talked about... beautiful.

The windows are double-paned,

plate glass, slightly tinted.

They cost a fortune,
