It's not a bad one.

That's not funny.

That's not funny.

Whoo.

Charlie, why don't you

take him home, okay?

Stop scratching.

Let me see.

It's not a bad one.

All right?

Would you take him home?

Come on.

Come on. Let's go.

Lighten up.

Look at it through here.

Lovely.

Okay, okay, don't...

- it's not funny.

- I'm just kidding.

You're hurting my arms.

Jesus.

Cotton Bowl,

a young Joe Montana,

absolutely unbelievable.

He fell ill...

All right.

What? What is it?

What does it feel like?

What does this feel...

this feels like

just a perpetual acid trip

is what this feels like.

What are you laughing at?

I'm kidding.

You don't know

what an acid trip is.

Hey, do you know

what an acid trip is?

No, I have no f***ing idea.

Good.

Good.

No, it changes.

I mean, sometimes,

it feels like, um,

the flu,

and other times, it's worse,

like, um, you know,

my head's on fire kind of.

Yeah.

Hey, uh,

you probably don't want to tell

your mom about the tick.

Right? No tick?

- Right, no tick.

- No tick?

No... no tick.

Brenda.

Hi.

- Oh, Melissa, hi.

- Hi.

How are you?

How's your new house?

Oh... oh, it's...

it's coming quickly.

Yeah, I'm very happy

with it.

So I'm seeing you today,

right?

Oh, why would you be?

Well, Mickey said

that the boys

were coming out to the site.

I just... well, I figured you

were coming along with them.

Right.

Yeah, um,

god, well, it's thanksgiving,

though.

Aren't... are you working today?

Indians, you know.

They have different holidays

than us.

Hey, how's Scott doing?

I'm sorry. I was...

I was gonna call you.

I'm sorry.

What do you mean?

He didn't tell you

about the tick?

Stop picking.

Mom, this is ridiculous.

Do you have any idea

how sick you could have gotten?

Do you?

I just look like

a total dingus.

Did he call?

Did who call?

Dad.

No.

Are you mad?

Just don't start lying

to me Scott, okay?

No, I didn't lie.

You didn't ask me anything.

You should have told me,

Scotty.

Just tell me next time, okay?

That's it.

Maybe you should have

had a girl.

They tell their mothers

everything.

Well, maybe you should have

asked god

for a mother who doesn't care

about her children.

Look, just don't argue

with me right now, okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm very tired.

Hello.

Yeah, they're both here.

Jimmy's asleep.

Look, was there any reason

I wasn't informed

of this little field trip?

Yeah, um, you know what?

I don't want to hear it,

uh, and I don't have time

anyway.

Dinner's at 4:
00 sharp.

Go wake your brother.

The idea is to presell off

the model, as many as I can,

then borrow from the bank

to build.

This is, uh, Scott street,

and this is James.
