You're gonna call

the DEA next time?

No, I was talking more

about the--

your amorous adventures.

Look, honey, I...

I know you're trying

to protect your children,

but you're fooling yourself

if you think Zoe's

never seen a penis before.

Oh, God, please, will you just

try and be responsible?

That's all.

Please?

I will be a shining example

of upright citizenship

and constitutionality.

So we have protests

every Saturday.

Protesting what?

War, idiot.

See, the government

expects people

to lose interest

and burn out,

so we have to stay involved.

Vigilant!

# Loose Lucy is my delight #

# She come running

and we ball all night #

# Round and round

and round and round #

# And round and round #

# Don't take much

to get me on the ground #

Okay, I'll be right back.

Don't go anywhere.

- # Yeah #

- # Yeah #

- # Yeah #

- # Yeah #

Yoo-hoo!

Sorry I'm late, babe.

What do you think

is in the bag?

Weed.

There you go.

Do you think Grandma's

smoking the ganja?

Yeah, probably.

Her house reeks.

Sweet.

It sucks

they're getting divorced.

- You haven't been around.

It's been bad.

It still sucks.

Do you feel responsible

for their failed marriage?

You gonna have, uh,

daddy issues now?

- Hey!

Spielberg, knock it off.

More like Werner Herzog.

- What do we want?

- Peace!

- When do we want it?

- Now!

- What do we want?

- Peace!

- When do we want it?

- Now!

- What do we want?

- Peace!

- When do we want it?

- Now!

Here you go.

- What do we want?

- Peace!

- When do we want it?

- Now!

- New recruits.

Here, hold it up high.

Peace!

- When do we want it?

- Now!

- Hey!

- Hey.

F*** you!

A**hole!

Sorry!

Sorry.

Oh, Jasper!

Are you making a movie?

Are you an actress?

My name's Tara.

Now!

- What do we want?

- Peace!

- When do we want it?

- Now!

- What do we want?

- Peace!

- When do we want it?

- Now!

Zoe!

- What do we want?

- Peace!

- Jesus, Mom.

- Where's Jake?

What--

- Mom, what are you doing?

Put it down!

Don't grab me!

What are you looking at?

Go!

- When do we want it?

- Now!

The audacity.

I mean, to drag you into

her ridiculous politics--

But that's no excuse

for killing Jake's game.

Oh, please, he has no game.

It's true.

Grow a pair, will you?

- I have a pair.

They just don't get out much.

Jesus Christ.

No, I am not gonna go in there

with that thing.

- Yes, you are.

Come with me.

Don't be so melodramatic.

- It's not melodrama.

It's ethics.

- It's a dead pig.

- How can I help you?

- Uh, what do you recommend?

- Well, we move

a lot of lamb chops.

- Lamb.

Wow.

Could you pick on

a more helpless animal?

- Can I interest you

in some veal?

- I'll take a couple pounds
